Chapter 478 Born on the Same Month and Same Day

On the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month in the eighth year of Hongde, in the Jiankang Imperial Palace, the well-known women in Jiankang almost gathered in the Zhaoning Palace. Stand by at the gate of Zhaoning Palace.

The reason for such a big fight is naturally because Da Chen's empress is about to give birth today.

To be precise, it is already in production.

Outside the gate of Zhaoning Palace, His Majesty the Emperor, who has always been young and mature, also had some beads of sweat on his face. From time to time, he looked up at the door of the Queen's delivery room, his hands trembling.

In fact, not only His Majesty the Emperor was anxious, but at the gate of Zhaoning Palace, the five prime ministers of Zhongshu Province were also present, waiting together for the birth of His Majesty's first child.

Moreover, this first child was born by the empress.

That is to say, if this child is a son, then he will become the eldest son of the Hongde Dynasty, and he will be the heir who can no longer be righteous.

There is also a high probability that he will become the crown prince of the court.

Once the crown prince is settled, the foundation of the country is settled, and these ministers don't have to worry about the emperor's son anymore.

At this moment, Mrs. Wen had already entered the delivery room for more than half an hour, and Queen Sun's yelling could be vaguely heard outside the door. His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help shaking his hands when he heard his wife's cry of pain.

He had never been a father, so he was naturally nervous.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, a eunuch's voice sounded from the outside: "The Empress Dowager is here..."

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a middle-aged beautiful woman, surrounded by a crowd of palace people, also came to the gate of Zhaoning Palace, everyone bowed down and saluted, and called her Empress Dowager.

Even His Majesty the Emperor turned his head and bowed to the Empress Dowager, calling out to her mother.

The empress dowager just nodded slightly, and then walked to the door of the delivery room. After hearing the painful cries of her niece and daughter inside, the empress dowager turned her head, looked at the prime ministers in Zhaoning Palace, frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter for a woman to give birth?" Sounds good? Gentlemen, don’t wait here, go back to Zhongshu and work hard on state affairs.”

What the queen mother said was that the woman's painful moaning during childbirth was a bit private, and it was not appropriate for these men to hear it.

Several prime ministers looked at each other, then looked first at the emperor, then at the queen mother, and bowed their hands in unison: "Follow the queen mother's order, and I will leave..."

After finishing speaking, the several prime ministers turned around and left Zhaoning Palace, and went back to the Ministry of Education for business affairs.

After the prime ministers left, Empress Dowager Sun walked up to the emperor, held the slightly trembling hand of the emperor, and frowned again: "Why is it so cold?"

She glanced at Gao Ming with some displeasure.

"How do you serve His Majesty? I've caught a cold, can you bear it?"

Gao Ming was taken aback by this sentence, and quickly took the coat from a young eunuch, and passed it over. The emperor silently glanced at the clothes Gao Ming handed over, shook his head slightly, and said, "Mother, my son is not cold, but ..."

"It's just a little nervous, isn't it?"

Because it was the twelfth lunar month, His Majesty the Emperor spit out a long mouthful of white mist, then nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Mother, at this time, of course, my son is nervous..."

Empress Dowager Sun let go of her son's hand, took the coat from Gao Ming, put it on the emperor, and said lightly while arranging the clothes: "Actually, there is nothing to be nervous about. My son is the supreme emperor. For you, Nothing should happen in this world."

After speaking, the queen mother glanced at the location of the delivery room, and continued: "Don't worry, she asked a fortune teller to calculate it before entering the palace, and nothing will happen."

The emperor nodded silently and stopped talking.

Seeing her son's appearance, Empress Dowager Sun showed a smile on her face: "Empress Mother will go in for you to take a look?"

After all, she was about to enter the delivery room to have a look. The emperor on the side reached out and grabbed his mother's sleeve, shaking his head slightly and said, "Don't point at the mother."

Empress Dowager Sun smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when a loud cry came out from the delivery room.

Although the Empress Dowager Sun had no expression on her face, her gaze was unavoidably fluctuating at the moment. She first looked at her son, and then looked up at the delivery room.

Soon, the door of the delivery room was pushed open by two women. A woman who was dedicated to midwifery for the royal family trotted out, knelt down in front of the emperor and the queen mother, and kowtowed: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, mother and child are safe..."

The emperor was overjoyed, and was about to speak when he heard the Empress Dowager Sun ask, "Is it the prince or the princess?"

Wen Po lowered her head and kowtowed, her voice trembling: "Back to the queen mother, it's the princess..."

"Your Majesty has added a princess..."

After hearing this sentence, the eagerness in the empress dowager's eyes disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a moment of silence, she glanced at the emperor, then looked at Wen Po, and sighed: "Take Ai's family in. Just have a look."

Wen Po wiped the sweat from her forehead, got up quickly, and said yes.

The emperor also wanted to go in, but was stopped by the empress dowager.

"You will go in later."

The emperor had no choice but to wait at the door.

Fortunately, not long after the empress dowager entered the delivery room, she walked out of the delivery room, and then she looked at her son and said, "Okay, you go in and visit, the queen mother will go back to the palace first."

The emperor nodded, and after slightly bowing his head to the Empress Dowager Sun, he walked into the delivery room.

In the delivery room, the newly born princess was already wrapped in swaddling clothes. The emperor first glanced at his eldest daughter before sitting on the bedside, looking at the pale-faced Empress Sun, with a gentle tone: "The empress has worked hard!" gone."

The empress had just given birth at this moment, and her body was still very weak. She had no expression on her face at first, but after hearing the emperor's words, the grievance in her heart immediately surged up, and tears streamed down her face.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has disappointed you..."

This means that she failed to give birth to a son for the Tian family.

The emperor shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "The empress is still young, don't worry, a prince will always be born."

The tears on Empress Sun's face flowed more and more: "The empress came in just now, she only asked me a few words, then she took a look at the child and left without hugging her..."

"She must be an annoyed concubine..."

Hearing her words, the emperor was silent for a while, wiped the empress's tears with a handkerchief, and comforted the empress in a soft voice: "Relax, the empress mother will not blame you, the most important thing is to take good care of yourself."

Empress Sun nodded first, then looked at the baby beside her, and said weakly, "Your Majesty, this concubine wants to see our daughter..."

The emperor quickly reached out, took the child over, and showed the child to Empress Sun.

After coaxing the Empress for half an hour, His Majesty the Emperor came out of the delivery room. After coming out, the Great Chen Tianzi stood at the gate of Zhaoning Palace and looked up at the sky with a complicated expression.

Gao Ming stood behind him, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the empress will definitely give birth to a prince."

"I'm not thinking about that."

After the emperor shook his head, he seemed to think of something, he turned his head to look at Gao Ming, and asked: "By the way, Shen Qi's wife seems to be giving birth this month, has Shen Qi come back?"

Gao Ming lowered his head slightly and said: "Go back to Your Majesty, Master Shen returned to Jiankang last night, but he didn't enter the palace today to meet the saint, probably..."

"The wife of his family is also giving birth today..."
