Chapter 146: Birth
Su Zhenzhen:???
Huh? Is Princess Jin such a virtuous and generous person?
She blinked her eyelashes and said, "Sister-in-law, His Highness and I have been married for less than half a year, and His Highness said we are not in a hurry." It's not like she hasn't been pregnant for two or three years. Although Su Zhenzhen felt that children were fate, she just had to go with the flow.
Princess Jin loves to show her virtue and magnanimity in front of outsiders, so Su Yiyi still thinks she is a good person.
Princess Xia Xuan of Prince Duan's face changed slightly. She and Prince Duan Rong Jinqi had been married for almost six years and had no children. Prince Duan had quite a few children, but none of them were with her. He came to her room quite a few times every month.
Although he was lustful and had a childhood sweetheart, a cousin and concubine, he was gentle and considerate to her. It can only be said that he was born amorous.
Prince Duan Rong Jinqi also comforted her by saying that they didn't have children because they were not destined to have them.
This caused her to overreact whenever she heard others talking about her children.
When chatting with her sisters-in-law, she couldn't help but envy the Princess of Jin and the Crown Princess who had children, and always felt that she lacked confidence.
Even though the Crown Princess was pregnant three years after her marriage, there was no sign of pregnancy. She had taken many kinds of fertility medicines. Who knew how sad she was?
Princess Jin smiled and said, "I'm just asking casually. You're the only one among the four brothers, so there's no need to rush." When she said this, her eyes moved slightly and she looked at Princess Duan Xia Xuan who was silent next to Su Zhenzhen.
Crown Princess Luo Muxue silently put down her chopsticks, "My fourth sister-in-law has only been married for less than half a year, how could you rush her to have a baby? It was three years after my marriage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that we had our son Xun Ge, and he is three years old now, sister-in-law, don't you think?" Princess Jin's face froze, and she smiled and said, "That's right." Su Zhenzhen gave the Crown Princess a grateful smile.
She didn't say it, but she felt that the Crown Princess sometimes looked at her strangely, but at critical moments she would protect her child.
Well, if you can’t guess it, then don’t guess.
Su Zhenzhen really enjoys life while she can.
At this time, Concubine Wu said with a look of disbelief: "Mr. Third, you have been married for six years after the New Year. If there is still no good news next year, I will ask you to adopt the third son's eldest son under your name." Isn't she tolerant enough?
After all, being childless is one of the seven grounds for divorce, and a man can divorce his wife if he has no children for seven years, although there is no such thing as divorce in the royal family.
But the position of the eldest son of Prince Duan will be taken away.
Princess Xia Xuan gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes but not daring to show them. She lowered her head and stood up, saying, "Thank you, mother, for your guidance." Why was her life so miserable?
Front hall.
Rong Yue gave each of Jin Wang Rong Jinyu, Crown Prince Rong Jinyou, and Yan Wang Rong Jinchen a plate of mutton rolls from the imperial table.
Ministers: ...
His Majesty.
What do you mean?
The Jin prince's party was complacent, the crown prince's party remained silent, the Yan prince's party... without the Yan prince's party, the royalists would just sit there and watch.
Before the banquet ended, Rong Yue said, "After the grand court meeting tomorrow, the Crown Prince, Prince Jin, and Prince Yan will offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple together." Everyone below looked at each other with different expressions. Even Su Qiyang was stunned for a moment.
When the ministers saw that Prime Minister Su was surprised, they were not surprised at all.
The eyes of Crown Prince Rong Jinyou were very gloomy. It seemed that the distance between him and his father had become even greater since his father's birthday.
King and father, king and father, should king come first and father second?
After watching the fireworks, Rong Yue returned to Weiyang Palace.
He silently looked at the portrait of the late Empress Yuan Yi on the golden nanmu imperial table, "Yier." Rong Yue's slender and distinct hand was still touching the beautiful face of the person in the painting, but the skin on the back of his hand was no longer young.
Rong Yue sat silently on the cold dragon throne. Yu Fuhai had already sent away the palace maids and eunuchs when he saw that the emperor looked unhappy, and he stood silently at the door of the palace.
He felt that his attitude towards the prince had been very awkward recently. It was obvious that the prince was cultivated by him personally, but after his 51st birthday, he suddenly realized that his life was not far from the end.
The average life expectancy is only around 40 or 50 years old now. Rong Yue is also a human being and he is also afraid of the end of his life.
He was currently very satisfied with the Crown Prince and had never considered passing the throne to anyone else. Chen'er was the youngest son, and since he couldn't pass the throne to him, he doted on him extra much.
Chen'er had never dreamed of seizing the throne, but he was also the legitimate son of the Empress, a man of both civil and military talents. A minister at court tried to instigate him to join the fight, saying, "How could the Prince of Yan be so resigned to this, since they were both legitimate sons?" But at just twelve, he gave the Grand Secretary a beating and fled to the frontier. Upon his return to the capital this year, he even asked for an imperial decree allowing him and Zhenzhen to remain together for the rest of their lives.
Feeling guilty, he treated them both especially well, even though the two children were really considerate and often came to the palace to accompany him, an old widower.
Rong Yue completely forgot that it was he who asked them to enter the palace to have dinner with him.
The Crown Prince... Rong Yue was still very conflicted. He was very clear-headed and realized that he would pass the throne to the Crown Prince, but he was still worried about what would happen if the Crown Prince could not support the Qin Dynasty?
Rong Yue couldn't let go of the throne early because he just loved power.
Prince Yan's Mansion.
The servants who said the auspicious words received two months' bonus and were all smiling. Their Highness and Princess were really generous.
As soon as Su Zhenzhen returned to Langhuan Garden, she asked Baizhi, Luwu and others to help her change clothes and remove her hairpins, jewelry and makeup.
Rong Jinchen sat silently beside her and looked at her with such a perverted look that Gu Heng couldn't bear to look at him.
Knowing that His Highness and the Princess liked to be alone, they left after finishing what they were supposed to do.
Seeing that he was still wearing the dark gold-woven court robe, Su Zhenzhen stood up and walked to him, "My prince, would you like me to help you change your clothes~" Don't think she doesn't know why this man didn't let Gu Heng help him change his clothes?
Rong Jinchen couldn't help laughing and clenched his fists, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, and his voice was very soft, "Hmm." Humph, a repressed and coquettish person, Su Zhenzhen thought so.
Su Zhenzhen pinched his cheeks and lovingly touched his handsome face that made her heart beat faster. The man's throat rolled slightly, and he stood up, lowered his head and bent over, cooperating very well.
After helping him change his clothes, Su Zhenzhen pulled him to the rosewood bed and sat directly in his arms, "Husband, what New Year's gift have you prepared for me?" She couldn't help but lift up her little feet and hooked her hands around his neck.
Rong Jinchen pursed his lips and whispered, "Look for it, dear." He looked at the girl in his arms with a smile. Su Zhenzhen looked up at him with a sly look in her eyes. "Is it on you?" She said as she pulled into his arms.
"Don't be naughty, do it on the bed." Rong Jinchen's throat tightened, and he reached out to stop her, unwilling to embarrass her. He watched the girl turn her back to him, kick off her newly changed embroidered shoes, and shove the gift onto the bed. His eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple rolled.
Su Zhenzhen was having a great time looking for someone when someone grabbed her waist and picked her up. "Qingqing, let's take a bath first." He had to attend a court meeting early tomorrow morning, so he had to get it over with quickly.
Su Zhenzhen: Wuuuuuu…
