Chapter 349 Seeing is believing
On the other side, in the main hall of Shanglin Garden,
Emperor Mingxi laughed out loud when he heard the report from Xiaoluzi.
He picked up his wine glass and stood up: "Everyone, just now, the Princess of Jin gave birth, mother and child are safe, it's a healthy boy!"
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince smiled at each other and said in unison: "That's great!"
Then, a few sporadic congratulations rang out in the hall.
Most of the guests were suspicious.
Especially Lord Niu and the few people who were discussing whether the Princess of Jin was poisoned.
Lord Niu secretly glanced at the position of Liang Chaozong and his wife.
Liang Chaozong quickly winked at him.
At this time, Lord Niu stood up and faced Emperor Mingxi: "Your Majesty, I just heard the news that Princess Jin and her son are safe, and I am also very happy."
"But, I have a question, I don't know if I should ask it or not."
Emperor Mingxi narrowed his eyes, "My dear Niu, you can ask it."
At this time, all the guests in the palace shut up, stopped their actions, and looked at Niu Baijin in unison, as if they all understood what he wanted to ask, their faces full of expectation.
Although Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse tried hard to suppress their excitement, the corners of their mouths were still wildly raised, and they couldn't suppress it.
The couple looked at Emperor Mingxi meaningfully, as if they were waiting to see a good show.
Lord Niu said slowly, "A few months ago, the King of Jin promised in the morning court that he and the Princess would personally taste exotic fruits and vegetables to verify whether they were poisonous to the people of the Central Plains."
"I think everyone here must be very curious about the results."
"Moreover, the Princess of Jin tasted the fruits and vegetables as a pregnant woman. During this period, many people have been talking about whether the baby born by the Princess of Jin will be healthy."
"So, today the Princess of Jin happened to give birth at the palace banquet. I would like to ask Your Majesty, how is the baby?"
After saying this, Lord Niu bowed slightly and made a bow to Emperor Mingxi.
At this time, hundreds of eyes in the palace were staring at Emperor Mingxi without blinking.
Emperor Mingxi stroked his beard and smiled heartily: "My dear Niu, you asked a good question!"
"I will now announce the result to everyone. The baby born by the Princess of Jin is very healthy and has no problems!"
When Niu Baijin heard this, the muscles on his face twitched violently for a few times, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
Looking at Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse, their faces were ugly.
After trying hard to control his emotions, Niu Baijin said again: "Your Majesty, but Daji has not seen the baby with his own eyes, it is inevitable..."
Emperor Mingxi smiled slightly and said lightly: "Okay!"
"Debao, go and bring the baby here and show it to everyone, so that we can see it with our own eyes!"
Before long, the Prince of Jin walked slowly into the hall holding a swaddled baby.
The Queen, Xia Miaoyuan, Xiao Wanyin, the Crown Princess and others also followed.
Everyone looked at Prince Jin, and their hearts skipped a beat.
Lord Niu rubbed his eyes in disbelief and stared at Prince Jin's face for a few seconds.
Prince Jin's face was obviously waxy yellow, and he looked sick. It was waxy yellow until he accompanied the princess to give birth. Now, less than half an hour has passed, how come it has become fair and rosy?
The forehead is even brighter, as if it is glowing.
Prince Jin held the child in front of Emperor Mingxi in one breath.
Emperor Mingxi held the child in his arms and looked carefully. He saw that the child had a square forehead, a broad forehead, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a very regular appearance.
A round little face, white with a hint of red, a pair of big black eyes sparkling.
He was babbling.
"What a handsome child!" Emperor Mingxi couldn't help but praise.
As he spoke, he carried the baby down and walked back and forth along the aisle of the hall.
As he walked, he said, "If you want to see it with your own eyes, come and take a look!"
Niu Baijin stood up first and stretched his neck to look at the baby.
There were also many curious guests who stood up and looked at the baby.
Even Liang Chaozong and his wife, who had kept a low profile at this palace banquet, stood up.
"Oh, it's really a healthy boy!"
As Emperor Mingxi walked, waves of whispers rang out in the hall.
"The face is white and rosy, and it can be seen that the child is healthy and has no disease!"
"The little face is chubby, even fatter than my eldest grandson when he was born."
At this time, the child burst into tears.
The cry was very loud, and the milky cry echoed in the empty hall, which seemed even louder.
"Oh, he seems to have urinated!" Emperor Mingxi felt a sudden warm stream flowing through his hands.
Prince Jin hurried forward: "It's a sin, it's a sin! The child is so rude!"
Emperor Mingxi smiled and handed the child to the nanny beside him, and the nanny took the child to change the diaper.
"It's okay, it's okay, the baby's urine is not dirty." Emperor Mingxi took a towel, wiped his hands, and sat back.
At this time, the guests in the hall were even more surprised.
The baby's cry just now was so loud. This is not only healthy, but also strong!
At this time, Mrs. Niu quietly walked in from outside the palace in a depressed mood and returned to her seat silently.
Niu Baijin lowered his voice and asked her: "How is the Princess Jin? Is she poisoned?"
Mrs. Niu shook her head slowly and said weakly: "She only rested for a while, then got up and drank the tonic soup. She was in good spirits and laughed with the servants."
"I watched secretly, and there was no sign of poisoning. She was in better condition than most women in labor."
Niu Baijin clenched his fists and sighed unwillingly.
At this time, Liang Chaozong and his wife, who were sitting in the corner, looked very ugly.
"Everyone, I thank you for your concern for the princess and my son. I would like to express my gratitude!"
King Jin said loudly to all the guests.
When they heard King Jin speak, they all stopped talking and looked at him.
"A few months ago, this king promised in the morning court that he and the princess would eat those exotic fruits and vegetables and exotic grains every day to test the poison on themselves."
"In the Huangzhuang, this king and the princess also kept their promise and ate them every day. These were all testified by people around the emperor!"
At this time, the eunuch standing next to Debao said: "My dear gentlemen, I was the one who stayed in the Huangzhuang some time ago, responsible for supervising Prince Jin and Princess Jin."
"I dare to guarantee with my life that they do eat those exotic fruits, vegetables and grains every day."
