Chapter 317: Draft an edict immediately to confer the title Princess Zhaoyang!
“Ahem…”
An extremely weak cough suddenly broke the joyful atmosphere in the room.
Zhang Chengyan finally woke up from his dream, and Bai Wutong was still lying weakly on the bed.
She is the one who made great contributions to the royal family today!
"Wutong, come and look at our princess." Zhang Chengyan held the baby in his arms, an expression of irrepressible joy on his face, and walked quickly to the bedside.
Looking at the child's pink little face, the haze in Bai Wutong's heart instantly dissipated.
She raised her hand and gently stroked the child's delicate cheek, her eyes full of love, "Your Majesty, it's great that we have a princess."
"Yes, I've been waiting for so long, and it's finally here!" Zhang Chengyan was in a good mood. His long-cherished wish of having both a son and a daughter was finally fulfilled, and he was completely immersed in joy.
Unable to suppress his inner excitement, he waved his hand and shouted loudly, "Wang Decai!"
"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Wang Decai immediately stepped forward, bowed and waited for orders.
"Draft an edict immediately to confer the title of Princess Zhaoyang to my princess! Spread the word to the world, and let the whole country celebrate together!"
"Yes!" Wang Decai was also very happy, "I'll do it right away!"
Giving the princess a title was not just for Zhang Chengyan's momentary happiness.
He also wanted to announce to the world that he, Zhang Chengyan, had a daughter! The royal family has a new noble!
Bai Wutong smiled, his eyes full of relief, "Your Majesty, if Princess Zhaoyang knew that you loved her so much right after she was born, she would be overjoyed."
"Yes." Zhang Chengyan held the child in his arms and couldn't get enough of looking at him. "Wutong, you should continue to stay in Tishun Hall to recuperate. I will come to visit you and your daughter often."
"Yes, I obey your command."
After all the delivery procedures were completed, Bai Wutong was carefully carried back to Tishun Hall.
On the other hand, Jin Weige heard that one of Bai Wutong's twins was a princess, and was named Princess Zhaoyang as soon as she was born. She was so angry that her face turned pale and she almost fainted.
Seeing this, Yingxia hurried forward and patted her back gently to calm her down. "Your Majesty, please don't get angry and make yourself sick. She is just a princess. Even if she is favored by the emperor, she will not be able to inherit the throne in the future. What we should care about more right now is the position of the crown prince!"
"You're right!" Jin Weige took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Quick, continue to deliver tonic soup to the emperor!"
As she spoke, she subconsciously stroked her belly, with a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes, "I have a feeling that maybe my baby is coming soon."
Yingxia nodded in agreement, turned around and went out to order the soup to be delivered.
She looked back at Yaoguang Palace and sneered in her heart.
With Jin Weige's current weak body, she still wants to get pregnant?
It's just a daydream!
Moreover, in Yingxia's opinion, someone as vicious as Jin Weige should not have children.
The words like "sensation" were just her copying Bai Wutong's previous remarks. Her purpose was to create a false hope for Jin Weige and make her fall into it.
Just as Bai Wutong said, today's Jin Weige has long lost the glory and confidence of the past and can only pin his hopes on these illusory things, such as the so-called fate.
Yingxia left quickly, and the image of a palace maid with whom she once had a close friendship involuntarily emerged in her mind.
The two were from the same hometown, so they were naturally closer than others after entering the palace.
Later, the palace maid was assigned to serve in Yaoguang Palace. Yingxia was very envious at that time. She actually went to the palace of the favorite concubine, so her life would definitely not be bad in the future.
But after just two months, the once vibrant life turned into a cold corpse, casually rolled up by a torn straw mat and thrown into a mass grave.
At that time, Yingxia was filled with grief, but she was powerless to do anything. She couldn't even fulfill her wish to bury her friend in peace...
Now, the time has finally come for her to take revenge!
Mid-August.
It is the hottest time of the year in the capital.
The heat was unbearable and everything seemed lazy.
Bai Wutong was afraid of heat. Even though she was in confinement after giving birth, she couldn't stand the stuffiness and didn't even want to cover herself with a quilt.
She sent Chan'er and the others out on the pretext of taking a nap, then she threw back the quilt and had someone bring an ice basin and put it beside the bed. Only then did she feel a little more comfortable.
She lay down on the couch, closed her eyes and rested.
Not long after, Yingchun's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has gone to Zhaochun Palace."
Bai Wutong opened his eyes and looked out the window. It was already dark.
The emperor left earlier than usual today.
It seems that he is really angry.
"Got it, you can go down. Remember to send some snacks to the emperor tomorrow."
Bai Wutong spoke calmly, as if he didn't care about the emperor's whereabouts.
Yingchun felt a little indignant after hearing this, "Humph, that Concubine Jin took advantage of the fact that the queen was in confinement and could not serve the emperor, so she jumped around in the palace all day. It's a pity that the queen still has to worry about the emperor and can't even rest peacefully."
Chan'er was also indignant. "No matter how much trouble Concubine Jin makes, she can't compare to the queen. The queen now has four children, which is the real confidence!"
Bai Wutong's drugging of Zhang Chengyan was kept extremely secret, and even the servants who served him closely were kept in the dark.
The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, so as to avoid unnecessary complications.
The summer heat continues and everything seems listless.
Bai Wutong no longer went out, and only asked Yingchun or Chan'er to bring snacks to the emperor every day.
As for the emperor, Bai Wutong didn't care where he wanted to go or which concubine he favored.
To outsiders, she seemed to be resting peacefully during her confinement period, but in fact she was just watching quietly in secret.
If we wait a few more days, something will happen to the Emperor.
By then, let’s see if he still has the mind to think about the draft!
