First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 270 The Trivial Matters of the Palace
At Zhu Biao's stage, whether he has any heirs is his biggest problem, and the rest are trivial matters. As long as his son falls to the ground, not only the subjects of the Eastern Palace, but also the senior officials of the court will be completely at ease.

Needless to say, the importance of the eldest son in this era is why Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy after Zhu Biao was born. Only with heirs can there be a future. People in this era consider the long-term interests of the family, and It's not a one-time boom or bust.

Zhu Biao has been suppressing for so long because he wanted Chang Luohua to grow up. It is always risky to have a child at a young age. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is half life and half death. Zhu Biao is still reluctant to part with his princess.

But now it's almost time. Before, it could be said that it was because of Zhu Biao's work in the north and south. Now Zhu Biao will not leave Beijing easily. If he can't have children, there will be problems.

I can only ask Chang Luohua to exercise more after I go back, but I think it should be okay, after all, the Chang family is considered a general, Chang Luohua has not bound his feet, and the whole person is more active, and his body is quite healthy, at least compared to ordinary Miss Shijia is much stronger.

After another round of walking, Zhu Yuanzhang started to chase people away, and Zhu Biao retreated back to the East Palace. On the way, he happened to meet Yunjin, who just came out of Kunning Palace. The two of them walked towards the East Palace together, and it happened that Zhu Biao asked Inquired about the situation in the harem during this time.

After all, the news that Quan Xu can receive is from the court, and he dare not inquire about the affairs of the harem. First of all, there are some trivial matters. The harem will never be calm, and there will always be various things. too much.

However, there is no big trouble with Empress Ma. The big thing is that the tenth prince Zhu Qi died three months ago. The child who was only five months old was said to be congenitally deficient. He has been ill since birth. He was posthumously proclaimed King Zhao, and someone was also sent to bury him according to the specifications of the prince.

It stands to reason that if such an older child dies, even the prince is usually arranged hastily. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to offspring, and hopes that the younger son can have a good pregnancy in the next life by relying on a prince-style funeral.

Zhu Biao felt a little sad when he heard it, but he had never seen it before, so he didn't feel very sad. It's just a pity that this child had such a poor fortune. He was born as a nobleman but died early, and he didn't enjoy any blessings at all.

In addition, recently there was a Concubine Li who was quite favored. Most of the saints had been resting there in the past two months. Zhu Biao was a little surprised when he heard that, his father was not easily emotional.

Zhu Biao took a few steps back and asked, "Did the queen mother ever get angry?"

Yun Jin shook her head and said: "Your Majesty has a reward, and let the servants take care of her more, don't let other people mess with her."

Only then did Zhu Biao heave a sigh of relief, he wasn't worried about this concubine or that concubine, he was just worried that his mother would be hurt by anger, the rest were trivial matters, what was a mere concubine, a plaything for entertainment.

In front of the court, the peony is unqualified, only the peony is really beautiful, as long as her mother and queen are stable, the rest are just a foil, and the temporary freshness is nothing to worry about.

After returning to the East Palace, Zhu Biao personally helped up his princess, and then took her hand and walked into the house. Chang Luohua struggled a few times before letting him go, and the maids at the side followed with lowered brows .

Zhu Biao pulled Chang Luohua to sit down, and Liu Jin made a gesture when he saw this posture, and after a while, all the maids and eunuchs serving in the East Palace came, and the high-ranking ones could enter the room and kneel, while the rest knelt outside with.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Zhu Biao said in a solemn voice: "My palace has been away from Beijing for several months, and I often miss the palace, lest you will not take good care of you and bully the young mistress."

A group of people hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Slaves and maidservants don't dare to have such thoughts, please learn from your highness."

Zhu Biao went on to say: "That's good. In the East Palace, meritorious service must be rewarded and demerits must be punished. It will be the same in the future. Liu Jin took out silver cloth from the inner pocket and distributed it as a reward."

After finishing speaking, he waved away the thankful people, and only a few close friends stayed. Zhu Biao's expression softened, and he said to Nuan Yu and Xiao Shuang'er: "My lord brought a lot of good things from Jiangnan. Go pick it, take whatever you like, it's an extra reward. "

The little girls also saw that their father was going to talk to the princess, so they went out happily. Chang Luohua also relaxed. Although they were husband and wife, they were still a little embarrassed to hold hands in front of everyone.

Zhu Biao looked interesting, and directly stretched out his hand to hug the princess and put it on his lap. Chang Luohua screamed in fright, and quickly turned back to look at the door, for fear that the servants would see him, and he would lose face as a princess .

Zhu Biao buried his face in her arms and smiled, "Don't worry, there must be someone guarding the door, and no one dares to come in without orders."

Only then did Chang Luohua breathe a sigh of relief, and then she felt very happy. Zhu Biao beat those people just now to support her. After all, the prince always took the initiative to run out after getting married, so it was inevitable that there would be some gossip.

Zhu Biao caressed her back and said: "In the future, anyone who spreads rumors will be severely punished. If you enter the palace, what will you do if you don't gain prestige? If the Lord asks Liu Jin to cooperate with you, the prince's personal eunuch should be qualified."

Chang Luohua also slowly stretched out his arms and hugged his husband and said: "No one dares to say anything if the mother does not stand up."

Zhu Biao laughed and said, "It's thanks to my mother who gave birth to me. If you gave me such an excellent son, I will allow you anything."

Chang Luohua wanted to talk about how I would give birth by myself, but the rules for many years still made her feel embarrassed to say such words. Of course she wanted to give birth. A child is more expensive than a mother, and a mother is more expensive than a child. Mother and child are natural alliance.

Zhu Biao gnawed upwards slowly, and said softly, "Father, Queen, and Empress are so urgent, you have to work hard."

...........................

The next morning, Zhu Biao felt that he had only slept for two hours. He was too tired to have a baby, so he got up in a daze and washed his face before he regained his energy.

Putting on the court clothes and leaving for Fengtian Hall, Zhu Biao still listened quietly at the court meeting. Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong both took the initiative to play in the hope that the crown prince could take over the Zhongshu Province. In charge of six or several of them.

Zhu Biao politely refused, saying that he still needs to learn more, and now all the courtiers feel at ease, thinking that His Highness is just here to observe politics.

Zhu Biao was not in a hurry, he hadn't sorted out the plan to rectify the authority of the government-affiliated yamen, which was related to the operation of the court. Zhu Biao had to make a good plan, otherwise the impact would be too great.

And the group of people in Fengyang are coming back soon, they are Zhu Biao's direct descendants, without them, Zhu Biao will have no reliable manpower, and it is not easy to find a job, otherwise no department will be able to operate according to his wishes.
