Han Shizu

Chapter 1208 Fifteen Sons, New and Old

"Welcome to the official family!"

After passing the saluting palace people, Emperor Liu went straight into the inner hall, opened the bead curtain, and saw Concubine Fu Hui who was in confinement.Xiao Fu, who has not yet given birth, has already recovered a lot of complexion, but her figure is a little out of shape, so plump.

Seeing Emperor Liu, Xiao Fu's beautiful eyes lit up, but they quickly dimmed, and the joy in Yu Rongjian, who was obviously fatter, quickly faded away.Emperor Liu noticed her change. Seeing that she was going to stand up and salute, Emperor Liu stepped forward a little faster, stepped forward and held her down softly: "Don't be too polite!"

"Thank you, the official family!" Xiao Fu's voice was also very soft.

"Where is my little prince, bring it out for me to see!" Emperor Liu looked around and said loudly, his vigorous voice reflected his joyful mood.

Xiaofu grabbed Emperor Liu and said in a low voice, "I just fed the baby and fell asleep!"

Hearing this, Emperor Liu also stopped, and gave me an unlucky expression.However, the emperor wanted to see his son, even if he was asleep, he had to pull him out.

Soon, under the gentle care of the nurse, a cradle was carried to the king, and Emperor Liu's fifteen sons were lying in it, sleeping soundly.

Emperor Liu has no pressure to bring up children, so he can only see the bright side of the child. Even though he is the No. 15 son, Emperor Liu still cannot avoid the joy of a new life.

In the past few years, Emperor Liu's sowing and creation of human beings has not been as frequent as before, but there are still some results. There are two sons and two daughters born in the harem, but only the fourteenth son Liu Xin born by Yeluling survives, and the rest are one after another. Died.

For this reason, Emperor Liu was furious, and the relevant imperial doctors and palace servants were either demoted or killed before he felt relieved.In this era, the survival rate of babies is really not high. Even if it is the royal family, no matter how meticulous the care is, accidents are inevitable.

In fact, not only the royal family, but Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin, Han Lingkun, etc., many of their children died young. Among Zhao Kuangyin's many sons and daughters, the survival rate is less than half.

Therefore, there was another dragon son in the Han Palace, and the birth mother was Concubine Fu Hui, so Emperor Liu naturally paid more attention to it.Seeing that the child was sleeping peacefully, and there was nothing unusual, Emperor Liu felt a little relieved.

Then he raised his head and said to Xiaofu: "The name has already been chosen, and it is called Liu Jun. The old Confucian Liu Wensou chose it. He quoted scriptures and texts, and in short, it means auspiciousness!"

"He was born not long ago!" Xiao Fu was a little surprised.

Generally speaking, princes and princesses are given a certain period of time to grow up, and then they are given names and sequenced teeth, just to deal with the situation of premature death.However, there are always exceptions, and Liu Xun is just one of them.

Emperor Liu smiled gently: "He will definitely grow up healthy and strong!"

As he said that, Emperor Liu waved his hand towards the palace man again, with a somewhat stern tone in his tone: "Take the prince down, so I can take care of him!"

"Yes!" Emperor Liu was obviously frightened, especially the vicious wet nurse, trembling uncontrollably.

Emperor Liu came here naturally to visit Concubine Hui's mother and son, and to talk with them, but it was obvious that she was not very interested, and even seemed a little depressed.

Finally, Emperor Liu expressed concern: "What's the matter? I'm so depressed. Since I stepped into this palace, I've seen your face full of sadness. This is not conducive to your recovery? Tell me, who else in this palace can make you feel better?" Wronged?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaofu's face finally changed, and he regained some energy. Meeting Emperor Liu's eyes, Xiaofu asked in a low voice, "Do the officials think I'm old?"

Hearing this kind of question, Emperor Liu felt helpless. Women's minds were often unpredictable, and in the harem, the little woman belonging to Concubine Fu Hui was the most thoughtful.

It doesn't matter what you think in your heart, but on the face, there is a relief expression, and he said to her: "Why do you say you are old? You are only 35 years old, why are you so sentimental? You don't know me yet. In my opinion, women are the most beautiful This is the age for you, you are entering the most beautiful stage! Otherwise, why would I always run to you, and how did Liu Xun come here?"

As he said that, Emperor Liu winked at Xiao Fu, showing a bit of an old-fashioned expression.Seeing this, Xiao Fu couldn't help but chuckle, after opening his face, his mood seemed to be much brighter, he took the initiative to lean on Emperor Liu, and said leisurely: "The officials think so, I'm afraid others don't think so."

Returning to the Chuigong Palace, Emperor Liu did not take the imperial chariot, but walked slowly, in a posture of keeping in good health.Walking in the corridor, the heat of midsummer is also sheltered.

"Concubine Hui complained to me just now. According to her, someone disliked her for being old and made her feel bad." After a long time, Emperor Liu didn't turn his head, and asked Yan Tuo casually: "Do you know what's going on? ?”

Yan Tuo followed closely beside him. Hearing this, he carefully observed Emperor Liu's face, a little hesitant.Then, a slightly stern "say" startled him.

Not daring to hide it, Yan Tuo hurriedly said: "As far as I know, Concubine Hui gave birth, and there are rumors in the palace that it is the fruit of an old tree."

"What an old tree bears fruit!" Emperor Liu chuckled, and said lightly, "There are still such rumors? Huh? Where did they come from?"

"In the beginning, it came from the maid beside Zhang Meiren." Yan Tuo said.

Zhang Meiren is a beauty who has just entered the palace. She is eighteen years old, with a beautiful face and a graceful figure. Emperor Liu has been lucky enough to visit her several times. She is a new favorite and canonized as a beauty.

"You know it very well!" Emperor Liu gave Yan Tuo a sideways look.

Yan Tuo cupped his hands and replied: "The young one is trusted by the officials, and he is in charge of the guards in the harem, so he understands it better."

"Then how do you, the head of the servants, do it?" Although it was midsummer, Emperor Liu's tone made people feel chills: "When will this palace start to be big or small, and slaves and maidservants dare to wait? Criticism, rumors about the concubine?"

"Officials calm down!" Hearing this, Yan Tuo didn't know Emperor Liu's attitude, and immediately said: "I will deal with it later, and those tongue-in-cheek maidservants will be speechless for sure."

In this regard, Emperor Liu did not speak any more, but continued to walk towards the Chuigong Hall. Seeing this, Yan Tuo was also slightly relieved.Since ancient times, competition for favor has been the main theme of the harem, and it is the same for Emperor Liu, but because Empress Fu presides over the affairs of the harem, her favor is not fading, her position is stable, and everyone is suppressed.However, for some newcomers who lack knowledge, it is not applicable.

And as the chief servant next to Emperor Liu, Yan Tuo also had to be careful in this regard.After walking with Emperor Liu for a while, Emperor Liu stopped and asked again: "All these years, the empress has been in charge of the harem for me, and I haven't paid much attention to the situation in the harem. Tell me, these women are jealous and intriguing. Are there many things?"

"This..." Faced with this question, Yan Tuo hesitated for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "It's hard to say that it's too small!"

"It's hard to say!" Emperor Liu couldn't help smiling, and then said with emotion: "I have to thank the queen for giving me such a long time of peace."
