Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 328
In the bedroom of Kunning Palace, Zhu Youjian carefully held a baby boy, his eyes were full of love.He lightly touched the soft face of the sleeping baby with the tip of his nose, and smelled the milk fragrance emanating from the baby. A warm feeling permeated his whole body, accompanied by joy as if it was about to explode. There was an uncontrollable smile between his brows and eyes.

This is his child, the first real child after he came to this world, and the birth of this child made Zhu Youjian, who always felt a bit out of place in this world, completely integrated into it in an instant, as if he It should be Zhu Youjian. Now he is just living again.

During the ninth and twelfth months of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Zhou Hou, Yuan Fei, and Tian Fei gave birth to two sons and a daughter successively for him. After the news came out from the palace, whether it was the courtiers or the people of the capital, most of them came from I am very happy in my heart, in the streets and alleys, restaurants and teahouses, wherever there are dense crowds, there will always be people talking about it.

There has been no news of the birth of princes and daughters in the palace for several years. These signs are connected with various situations such as thieves began to sweep across the Northland, severe droughts and floods alternately occurred, and a large number of victims fled to the capital. People are deeply worried and worried about the future of Daming.

People in this era have the most common perception that having more children brings more blessings and spreading branches and leaves. Many children in a family mean that the male owner is in good health. Every additional child will give people more hope and expectation for the future, and vice versa. The same is true.

And as the thieves and bandits from all over the place were strangled to death by the government army one after another, the refugees who fled everywhere began to be resettled by the government. The chaotic situation gradually stabilized, and the stable life returned to people's daily life. The good news that came out of the media played a role in appeasing the hearts of the people.

Of course, the people's hearts here specifically refer to all classes living in the capital, because their interests in all aspects are most closely related to the emperor.

After receiving three consecutive congratulations from the courtiers, Zhu Youjian waved his hand and made another money-spreading boy: all households in the capital will be given [-] yuan each, and each nursing home will reward rice, pork, and vegetables on a head-by-head basis. The left-behind soldiers of the battalion and Yongwei battalion, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and the officials of all yamen are also rewarded with [-] yuan each.

In the next few days, the new governor of Shuntian Prefecture, Chen Qiyu, personally arranged for all the officials in the government office to follow the rented carriages and ox carts, and distribute the money from house to house. The generous and generous Sheng Tianzi expressed his heartfelt thanks.

All of a sudden, the stable and peaceful atmosphere in the capital became much happier again.After making a small fortune for no reason, many people used this foreign money to buy various necessities of life, which also increased the sales of daily necessities on the market a lot, and the merchants in the city were also very happy. I wish the emperor could distribute rewards once a month.

"Your Majesty, you have been holding Brother Shui for almost half an hour, and you are not afraid of being tired. Brother Hong and the others have never seen you so tightly when they were born! Let Brother Shui be handed over to the wet nurse. Hello, let's rest for a while!"

At the end, Zhou Hou couldn't help stretching out her jade hand to cover her mouth and chuckled softly, looking at Zhu Youjian with tenderness and satisfaction in her eyes.

Ever since the prince named Shui Geer was born, her husband hastily rushed back to the bedroom of Kunning Palace every time after finishing his official business. The world, always involuntarily grabs Brother Shui from himself or the nanny, without saying a word, just hugs him like this, touches the tip of Brother Shui's nose with his nose affectionately for a while, and sticks out a hand for a while. Hands gently caressed Shui Ge'er's soft cheeks, but most of the time he held Shui Ge'er, quietly watching the baby in his arms in a trance, the love on his face and eyes made Zhou Hou There is an inexplicable sense of jealousy.

"Your Majesty, you'd better go to Concubine Yuan and Concubine Tian's side as well. The two palaces also gave birth to children for you. Your Majesty must not have any kindness. The concubine is the master of the harem, so I can't let others Talk gossip!"

Seeing that Zhu Youjian didn't seem to hear his own words, and was still looking at Brother Shui's sleeping face, Zhou Hou couldn't help raising his voice a little.

"Keep your voice down! Don't disturb Brother Shui's rest! A baby this big needs to sleep more, so his brain will be smarter in the future!"

Zhu Youjian looked up at Zhou Hou, and taught in a slightly dissatisfied tone.

He stood up holding Ge'er Shui, and the nurse Wang on the side hurried forward a few steps and took Ge'er Shui from Zhu Youjian's hand.

"Empress, you don't know. Concubine Yuan and Concubine Tian have only given birth to the prince and daughter for a few days. It is best not to contact outsiders with such a big baby. I always leave after just a glance outside their bedroom. Brother Shui It's already past the full moon, and it doesn't matter if I get closer to him. When the children in the two palaces are out of the full moon, I will definitely run back and forth in three places, so that people can't gossip. Empress, I still I have to tell you a few words, except for the relatives of the royal family, anyone who gossips in the palace will be sent to the Clothes Bureau! Anyone who has other thoughts will be executed! Companion, the palace must watch Hurry up!"

Standing in a corner, Wang Chengen replied in a low voice, Zhou Hou also bowed solemnly, and several female officials and maids in the palace bowed to show their obedience.

It turned out that Zhu Youjian had always been kind to the people in the palace, rarely asked about the affairs of the harem, and never said such harsh words, such behavior today is very rare.

"By the way, when Brother Shui's [-]-day feast, ask Jia Dingbo to bring my brothers and relatives into the palace. Empress, you have not seen them for a long time. Take this opportunity to have a good time." Let's get together, and when Brother Shui passes his first birthday, the queen can take him out of the palace to visit relatives, and let Brother Shui see the world outside the palace! The same is true for Concubine Yuan and Concubine Tian, ​​and the queen Xunkong will inform them Just do it!"

In a good mood, Zhu Youjian appeared extraordinarily magnanimous, and the grudge against Zhou Kui's family in his heart also eased a lot.After all, they are Brother Shui's grandfather and uncle, and all kinds of past life can no longer happen again. For the sake of the gentle and virtuous Queen Zhou, please forgive others, and you can't take the mistakes that happened in another dimension to blame. Punish the people of this world?

Due to her status and her grievances towards her father and elder brother, Zhou Hou has not left the palace to visit her natal family for several years, but no matter how resentful she is, this kind of blood relationship will never stop.When she was free, Zhou Hou and Concubine Yuan talked about their childhood, and their words were full of good memories. When talking about the love and care of her father and brother before entering the palace, all the complaints turned into longing for relatives.

At that time, although the family was poor, and the family relied on Zhou Kui's meager income from setting up a fortune-telling stall on the street to make ends meet, the family enjoyed themselves happily together.As long as my father has more income that day, he will definitely buy some snacks such as glutinous rice balls and wine glutinous rice balls to take home. Every time the father and brother would rather eat a few bites by themselves, they would also give these delicious foods to others. Eat more for yourself and your brother.

"My concubine thanked the emperor! If Jiading Bo's mansion makes further progress, I will never allow it!"

Full of gratitude, Zhou Hou squatted at Zhu Youjian again.

"Why should the queen be like this? You and I are husband and wife, so we should be considerate of each other. In the past few years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, and the queen has not seldom endured hardships with me. Life is good now, and it will be even better in the future, no matter the queen. Or other people in the palace, as long as they are close to my royal family, they should also enjoy their due enjoyment! Family harmony and everything prosper! This principle has never changed!"

　Thank you book friends and classmates who have fallen in love for their rewards. Don't worry, you will fall in love too.
