The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 728 Heading to Baicao
Concubine Yang Shu and Ying Er hurried to the door of the dormitory.

Zhao Dongting was stunned at this moment.The heart is filled with endless joy.

He had never felt so turbulent before, even when facing thousands of troops and all court officials kneeling down.

There are only a few words flashing back and forth in my head, "I am a father, I have a child! I am a father..."

The door is opened.

Concubine Yang Shu asked excitedly, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

The midwife and the two maids who came out of the door were all blushing, and said again and again: "Congratulations to the empress dowager, congratulations to the emperor, you are a prince."

"Okay, okay! Reward, great reward!"

Concubine Yang Shu was naturally overjoyed all of a sudden.

In this era, even though Zhao Dongting tried his best to promote the concept of equality between men and women, there was still a strong patriarchal thought in his bones, from the courtiers to the common people.

This concept that has been handed down since ancient times cannot be changed in a short period of time.

Zhao Dongting, who was covered in dust, came back to his senses and went straight to the house.

There are still many palace ladies staying inside.

Zhang Ru's personal maid carefully held the baby wrapped in a golden cloth.

Seeing Zhao Dongting walk in, he hurriedly carried the child to Zhao Dongting, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are a prince!"

There was an unconcealable envy in the eyes of this personal servant girl.

In this day and age, it is very common for personal maids and masters to sleep together. In the past, there were many examples in the palace of personal maids who were pregnant with dragon fetuses.It's no surprise that this maid fell in love with Zhao Dongting very much, but unfortunately, Zhao Dongting never wanted to be lucky with her.

Zhao Dongting looked down at the glowing red baby in the maid's hand, his expression excited, but he didn't reach out to hold the baby.

It's not that I don't want to hug, but I'm worried that I don't have enough strength to hurt this tender little guy.

Then, he walked quickly to the bed.

On the bed, Zhang Ru's complexion was pale, and even the red lips that had been rosy in the past didn't have any blood at this time.The body is wrapped in a quilt inlaid with dragons and phoenixes.

Sitting beside the bed, Zhao Dongting stretched out his hand to brush Zhang Ru's messy and sweaty hair to his ears, and asked softly, "Ru'er, how are you?"

With a beautiful smile on the corner of Zhang Ru's mouth, she shook her head slightly.

Zhao Dongting was able to come back, she was overjoyed.

As soon as Zhao Dongting entered the room, he came over to ask her how she was doing. This kind of care made her feel that the pain she had just endured was worth it.

Zhao Dongting wiped the fine sweat from Zhang Ru's forehead again, and smiled lightly: "I'm sorry for you."

Zhang Ru still shook her head with a smile.

The personal maid Liu'er carried the little guy to the bed and put it beside her.

Her smile suddenly became softer, with a strong maternal radiance.At this moment, although Zhang Ru was pale, she still looked extremely beautiful.

Concubine Yang Shu and Ying Er also walked into the room.

Arriving at the bedside, Concubine Yang Shu's eyes immediately fixed on the little guy, and she couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear, "My good grandson, my good grandson..."

Yinger looked at it with a smile.

After a while, Concubine Yang Shu looked at Zhang Ru and said, "Concubine Jing, thank you for your hard work. You have done a great service to our Zhao family by giving birth to a dragon son."

This time Zhang Ru smiled slightly and nodded.

Concubine Yang Shu held the little guy in her arms, and couldn't put it down for the little guy who was just born and had been washed with warm water.

After a while, she put the little guy back beside Zhang Ru, gave Zhao Dongting a slight wink, and walked out.

Zhao Dongting smiled at Zhang Ru and followed him out of the house.

"Congratulations to the empress dowager, congratulations to the emperor!"

Everyone outside the house knelt down and congratulated the two.

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and told Eunuch Liu to reward those who were serving in the courtyard and let them go down.

Concubine Yang Shu led Zhao Dongting to the tree in the courtyard, and asked softly, "Yes, do you plan to make the eldest prince the crown prince?"

In this era, there is a particular emphasis on establishing the elders and not the young, but at the same time, there are also examples of establishing the offspring born to the empress of the Eastern Palace, but not the offspring born to the other concubines.

Concubine Yang Shu knew that Zhao Dongting always loved the woman who was still in Baicao Valley, so she asked this question.

Zhao Dongting did not hesitate, shook his head lightly, and said, "No."

"What kind of king is that?"

Concubine Yang Shu was not surprised by Zhao Dongting's answer, and then asked again.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help laughing, "Mother, the prince has to be named and conferred in a hundred days, isn't it too early to talk about this now?"

Concubine Yang Shu was a little dissatisfied and said: "This is the eldest prince, of course we have to make preparations early."

Zhao Dongting scratched his head, "I still want to discuss it with Concubine Jing."

"Why discuss this matter with Concubine Jing?" Concubine Yang Shu was surprised this time.

In this era, even though Zhang Ru is the biological mother, she is not qualified to give a name to the born prince.

Zhao Dongting said: "After all, she gave birth to the child. Mother, let the child decide on this matter!"

Concubine Yang Shu was silent for a while, and finally nodded, "Alright then!"

Since handing over all the power to Zhao Dongting, Zhao Dongting has managed the entire imperial court in an orderly manner, and she has gradually become accustomed to letting Zhao Dongting make up his own mind on everything.

Zhao Dongting went back to Zhang Ru's room.

This day, he was always by Zhang Ru's side, and he didn't even bother to take a bath.

Concubine Yang Shu rewarded "baozi" on his behalf to some ministers in the court.

"Baozi" is actually a red envelope given to ministers by the emperor after giving birth to a dragon son.There are gold and silver, but also rhino horn, jade and other things.

It is undoubtedly a great honor for the ministers to receive such a reward.

Of course, Zhang Ru received even more rewards.

But because the frontier war is still going on, Concubine Yang Shu grasped the specifications of these rewards very well, and did not reward too expensive things.

At night, Zhao Dongting finally discussed with Zhang Ru what to name the child.

Zhao Dongting finally dared to pick up the child, and after holding it, he was reluctant to let go, and kept shaking it gently in his arms.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Ru couldn't stop smiling.

Zhao Dongting asked her what the child's name should be.

Zhang Ru's eyes drooped slightly, and her smile was even more intense.

Zhao Dongting instantly understood what she meant.She was letting him make up his mind.

He said: "How about taking my surname and your first name, Zhao Ru? Ruyi Ru, which has a good meaning."

There was a little thought in Zhang Ru's eyes, and then she nodded slightly.

Zhao Dongting said again: "The word is called Jimin."

Zhang Ru nodded again.

Zhao Dongting looked down at the pink child in his arms.

The child was also staring at him with round eyes.This is the purest thing in the world.

At this moment, Zhao Dongting's mind seemed to be touched by something.

He said again: "Wait for him for a hundred days, then make him King of Ji! I hope that he will be successful in this life and everything will be fine."

Zhang Ru was slightly startled, but still nodded slightly.

Naturally, she could tell that Zhao Dongting had no intention of making Zhao Ru the crown prince.

But she doesn't expect that too much.

As Zhao Dongting said, as long as Zhao Ru can go smoothly in this life, it is enough.

She is not an ambitious woman, and she never thought of asking Zhao Dongting to make her child the crown prince.

Zhang Ru, who is huizhilanxin, understands very well that as long as she fights over some things, the relationship between her and Zhao Dongting will also be separated.

The next day, Zhao Dongting led hundreds of officials from the court to the Taimiao to pray to the heaven and earth, the ancestors, and the country.

Song Dynasty ushered in the first prince.

Celebrate all day.

The city of Changsha is as lively as Chinese New Year, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers can be heard endlessly.

But on this day, after Zhao Dongting led all the officials back to the palace, he left the palace again and headed south with Hong Wutian, Le Wushan, Mrs. Xu and others.

The five-year agreement with Guzhu is coming soon.

Apart from Le Wuhui and others, there were hundreds of Feilong soldiers accompanying them.

A few days passed quickly.

Jiuyi Mountain.

hole.

There are two women sitting on the bluestone, their legs are covered by long skirts, only two pairs of embroidered shoes are exposed.

Whether it is the older one or the younger one, they can all be called rare beauties in the world.

Xiao Wu asked: "Sister Saint, the emperor should be here soon, right?"

There was some concern on her delicate face.

Because even she knew that there was only one day left before the agreement between the emperor and the holy lady.Tomorrow will be the last day of the five-year agreement.

Le Chan looked at the night sky, bit her lip lightly, and did not speak.

She told herself that the emperor would definitely come, maybe it was just delayed by something.However, it is still unavoidable to feel a little uneasy.

She knew about Zhang Ru and Ying Er's pregnancy.

Could it be because Concubine Jing gave birth?
Then, will he come as scheduled?
