Side hall.
Xie Zhou sat to one side, holding his son.
Xie Yi stared at his mother with his beautiful eyes.
The imperial physicians were quite nervous. However, Consort Huan's pulse was very clear: "It's been a month already."
Huan Yue nodded.
Xie Zhou was incredibly excited and ordered his men to grant him double honors! He wanted to hug his wife; they would be a family of four from now on!
The imperial physician thanked the emperor with delight. "Greetings, Your Majesty! May Your Majesty bear many more children; it would be a blessing for the entire world!"
The imperial physician didn't need to give her much advice; Consort Huan was already taking good care of her, and that was it.
The imperial physician arrived at the Linde Hall and reported to the emperor: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
The emperor was taken aback for a moment, then became genuinely delighted: "King Zhuang of Song was posthumously granted the title of Emperor, with the posthumous name of Gongjian!"
Everyone was completely baffled!
Why would Consort Huan bestow the title of Emperor upon the father of the Prince of Song when Consort Huan is pregnant? The current emperor is a direct descendant of Emperor Gaozong, which is tantamount to bestowing the title of Emperor upon his great-great-uncle.
The ancestor and the King of Song quickly came out and knelt down.
Qian Sha ran over and helped the old ancestor up.
Seeing that she was perceptive, she said to the old ancestor, "This fulfills Emperor Gaozong's sentiments."
Even the oldest ancestors couldn't control Emperor Gaozong. The emperor is now referring to the relationship between Emperor Gaozong and his brothers.
Everyone knows or has heard that perhaps it was because of Empress Wenming that Emperor Gaozong treated his younger brother very well.
However, King Zhuang of Song, and the current King of Song, have probably not made any mistakes; they are quite perfect.
So, when you think about it, it seems to make some sense.
King Wu remembered that the emperor had mentioned it to him, and now it would be good to elevate King Zhuang of Song first.
If you were to ask the King of Wu whether he wanted to be emperor, he couldn't say no.
The Prince of Song refused. Anyway, his father had been dead for many years, and he was old enough to know what to do.
The old ancestor said to the emperor, "I don't think King Zhuang necessarily wants this."
The current emperor explained to his ancestor, "I think Emperor Gaozong would definitely want to. The empire can be shared with his brothers. Although the throne cannot be held by two rulers, what's wrong with bestowing titles upon them?"
Some people are confused: "What do we call our ancestors?"
Xie Zhen retorted: "Call me 'Ancestor'? What else do you dare to call me?"
While she was alive, she was naturally known as the Dowager Princess of Song; after her death, she was posthumously honored as Empress.
Many people think it's possible the more they think about it.
Our ancestors were ashamed. What happens after death is unpredictable. The only solution was to hold themselves to even higher standards.
The same goes for the King of Song. This prestige was earned. His father being made emperor was indeed a good thing for his lineage.
Princess Wu thought about many, many things.
She's far inferior to our ancestors, but she's not that old yet.
Conferring an emperor title is equivalent to appointing a direct descendant. For example, if Xie Zhou had no grandsons, they would definitely choose one from the line of the King of Song.
From Emperor Gaozong's perspective, he was indeed the legitimate son.
It's not just a curse on little Xie Yi; there's much more to it. The interests within the royal family are vast.
After much arguing, they finally came up with a different solution.
It's just that it smells better because it's different. Although this is something that's hard to argue about.
Princess Shen had no such idea. How many years had it taken for the Song King's lineage to be established? First of all, they had to be born to Empress Wenming.
Princess Yongqing chuckled at the thought: This was prepared for Xie Yi's younger brother?
There is only one throne, so since they are both born to the Crown Princess, he was given such a good position.
How pleased was the emperor with his crown princess and how much he adored his eldest grandson?
I wonder how long it will take everyone to digest this.
This has nothing to do with Wu Meiren.
Wu Meiren and her mother were kneeling there, along with two other beauties.
Once the ancestor takes over, they're all trash. The ancestor can't be bothered with them.
Qiansha cleverly escaped again.
The old matriarch rarely favored her. Even though she was favored, she didn't cause any trouble.
As for Consort Wu, people may think a lot about her, but it doesn't really matter. There are plenty of beauties in the imperial harem.
Perhaps Wu Meiren was somewhat unwilling, and the Wu family was somewhat unwilling, but what could they do?
Consort Wu's mother gritted her teeth and insisted, "Now the Crown Princess is pregnant again."
Xie Zhou returned. With his father present, he couldn't run away for too long.
Today, the question is asked: "How are the blue moths?"
Xie Zhou couldn't contain his joy: "That's great, Father Emperor."
We don't plan to deal with it now.
Xie Zhou was bewildered. Could it be that he was supposed to handle Consort Wu's matter? She was just a beauty; it was understandable that his father was too lazy to deal with it.
Xie Zhou suddenly realized that with a second son, his father would still have to exploit him.
I hope it's a girl. Does Father Emperor favor his grandson or granddaughter?
The Prince of Wu glanced at the Crown Prince; none of his granddaughters could possibly compete with the eldest grandson for the Emperor's favor. Princess Huayang was favored back then only because Empress Mingde had lost her son.
If Xie Zhousheng had been born before Princess Huayang, she wouldn't have been so favored.
Therefore, the first one is rare.
If it weren't for Princess Huayang, Xie Jian might have been even more interested. This is similar to what happened to the King of Wu himself.
He was the first child, and his father always had his eye on him. He never received his grandfather's favor.
Xie Quan was favored by his grandfather, but Xie Quan was different from Xie Yi.
The old lady extended her evil claws towards the crown prince: "Your Highness!"
Xie Zhou sat down, exuding an aura of authority, acting as if he and the emperor were two emperors.
The crown prince's attire was similar to that of the Prince of Wu, but significantly different from that of the emperor. Even so, his aura was quite strong.
The old lady was startled; offending the current crown prince was very dangerous.
But the old lady was determined and called over two beauties.
The beauty is shivering from the cold.
But it wasn't that bad. I was exhausted from dancing before, but I've fully recovered now; I was just putting on a show.
The old lady boasted, "My granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law have been well-mannered and knowledgeable since they were little."
Xie Zhen couldn't help but say, "You seduced the Emperor and then your second brother. Is this what you call being well-mannered in the Wu family? I never would have guessed, Consort Wu. Luckily, I don't wander around the harem, or I might have been tricked one day."
The King of Wu angrily rebuked him: "Are you drunk?"
