Chapter 729: His Royal Highness Prince (Eighth)
The eunuch who came to report the good news said happily: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has added a granddaughter to the Queen Mother and a golden branch and jade leaf to Your Majesty."
Golden branches and jade leaves...
Zhu Houzhao's eyes stopped on Ye Chunqiu, and then his eyes suddenly became a little dim.
Zhu Houzhao did not hide her emotions at all. He liked boys, but Empress Xia gave birth to a princess for him.
Empress Dowager Zhang's face also became depressed and she was also disappointed.
Ye Chunqiu reacted that it was not a prince, which really disappointed him. He had some fame and fortune in this matter, but when he thought about it carefully, neither the princess nor the prince should have such thoughts, so he hurriedly said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the golden branches and jade leaves are good, and the golden branches and jade leaves are good. I heard that this girl knows that she loves people, not like a man. Whether it is a princess or a prince, they are all the flesh and blood of Your Majesty..."
Zhu Houzhao just smiled dryly: "Yes, I already have a prince, and now a princess is here, right? Is it, my mother?"
Empress Dowager Zhang sighed in her heart. It was already a good place. What else can I say? She pursed her lips and said, "What Ye Aiqing said is very good, girl... very good..."
Ye Chunqiu felt relieved, knowing that the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty were just self-comforts, but to be honest, the girl seemed to be harmless, at least... well... If she gave birth to a child in the future, she might be able to get married to Your Majesty.
As he was talking, another little eunuch stumbled over and said, "Empress, Your Majesty... has given birth again... it is twins, twins. I never expected that there was one in it, and there was another one. This time it was the prince... the prince..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao, who was good to his daughter, couldn't help but illuminate his eyes. He rushed forward and grabbed the eunuch's clothes and said, "You mean, is it your son?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Queen's blessing, I have added a dragon son and a dragon girl to Your Majesty."
Ye Chunqiu was a little confused. The twins... the prince... is it the prince...
Yes, this is the eldest son, according to etiquette, he is a real prince. Thinking of this, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but feel happy. Prince...
Zhu Houzhao rushed forward in a flash, and Empress Dowager Zhang was also overjoyed and hurriedly led a group of people to the bedroom. At this time, eunuchs had already ran to ring the bell. The bell meant that a prince was born, which was a great news.
Bang...bang...
A crisp sound came out, and Ye Chunqiu had already arrived at the bedroom, but he was not in a hurry to go in until Zhu Houzhao inside said, "Ye Aiqing, where is Ye Aiqing?"
Ye Chunqiu just walked in carefully. The place was surrounded by people, and everyone was smiling happily. Everyone automatically made a way for Ye Chunqiu.
At this time, Empress Xia was lying on the phoenix couch, covered by the curtain, and seemed to be extremely tired. However, the people in the curtain seemed to hear Ye Chunqiu's movement, but they said with relief: "Ye Aiqing, I'm sorry for you."
Ye Chunqiu was busy rituals and said, "It is natural for me to serve the Empress."
Queen Xia stopped talking and seemed to be asleep.
Zhu Houzhao held a baby in the cradle and teased her with a smile on the side, and couldn't help but say, "This one looks like me, it's so wrinkled, like a starving ghost."
"..." Everyone looked at Zhu Houzhao in amazement. Empress Dowager Zhang felt something was wrong, so she sat aside and coughed desperately.
But he didn't know if Zhu Houzhao understood everyone's reaction. He walked to Ye Chunqiu happily with his baby in his cradle, and said in a show-off: "Ye Aiqing, tell me, does this look like me?"
In fact, Ye Chunqiu couldn't tell it. It was probably Zhu Houzhao's psychological effect, but he still said: "The little prince is indeed exactly the same as His Majesty, and he was carved from the same mold."
"Scared, am I so ugly?" Zhu Houping looked at the wrinkled little Zhu Zaiyao, frowned deeply, and said, "I'm not so ugly, I'm quite upright in the mirror."
However, the poor little princess was just a nanny holding her. Ye Chunqiu was a little disgusted by Zhu Houzhao's obvious attitude towards boys over girls, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the same as Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao then turned her eyes to the little princess and said, "I have thought of my name, just call me Zhu Shou..."
Ye Chunqiu's face turned black, Zhu Shou...
Ye Chunqiu felt better after the last word Zhu Houzhao fell.
"Ti...well, it's called Zhu Shouti."
Zhu Houzhao was delayed in this bedroom for a long time. At this time, the officials of the Zongling Mansion had arrived. Zhu Houzhao left the bedroom and told them to prepare the jade butterfly.
Ye Chunqiu wanted to leave the bedroom, but Empress Dowager Zhang stroked the messy hair on her forehead and said, "Ye Aiqing, wait."
Ye Chunqiu said, "I wonder what the Empress has to give?"
Empress Dowager Zhang was happy at this moment, but there seemed to be a different meaning in her eyes, saying: "Ye Aiqing... Why did she call the prince just now?"
"Ah..." Ye Chunqiu suddenly understood.
Zhu Houyao must be the prince, and he is afraid of such things, but the night is long and dreaming. Although this is almost a foregone conclusion, the little emperor is not very reliable. He is a hot person. God knows what changes will be in the future?
There were some things that Queen Mother Zhang was inconvenient to say, she was deep in the inner palace, and Queen Xia was even more inconvenient to say, such things must be spoken by the ministers of the outside court, so the burden fell on Ye Chunqiu.
Ye Chunqiu was just slightly slight and didn't say much. He knew very well what Empress Dowager Zhang meant. The position of the prince should be decided early and no one could have any unreasonable thoughts. Thinking of this, Ye Chunqiu did not hesitate and said, "I know what to do."
People must have a position. Wherever you sit, you should speak. Just like Ye Chunqiu, as the ally of Empress Xia and Empress Dowager Zhang, and as Zhu Zaiyao's "benefactor", the relationship between them is absolutely impossible to be cut off. In this case, his position is to protect the prince, and everything should be considered by the prince's interests.
When Zhu Houzhao came back, he couldn't help but complain: "Hmph, these people really don't know what to eat. I just gave birth to six in one breath. I've just been giving birth to one after another these days, but it seems to have killed them. Come on, bring Yao'er and let me see again."
Ye Chunqiu took the lead and hugged Zhu Houyao from the nanny's hand. This little child had some weight. Ye Chunqiu had no children yet, but Ye Chunqiu felt a little warm in his arms. Ye Chunqiu solemnly handed Zhu Zaiyao to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, look at how cute the Prince's Highness."
