Chapter 660: Account ban incident
After Li Beichen went to court, he went to the Concubine Xian's Palace.

As always, he spared Concubine Xian from saluting, took Concubine Xian's hand, and sat down with her, "Jing'er, how do you feel today? Is the morning sickness still severe?"

Concubine Xian replied as gently as ever, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I took the anti-fetal medicine prescribed by Jiang Yuanshi, and my morning sickness has improved a lot."

Li Beichen asked with concern, "Is the young prince still obedient? Is he making trouble? Concubine An still comes every day?"

"Ba'er is very sensible. Yesterday he said that Master praised him. Concubine An comes over every day to help take care of him, which makes me worry less. Barter also tells Concubine An the lessons Master taught me every day, and the two of them do them together. Homework is so interesting.”

Li Beichen pictured in Li Beichen's mind the scene of Battelle teaching An Fei in a precise manner, and An Fei opening her eyes wide and reading every sentence, which he found interesting, "Can Concubine An speak Chinese?"

How great it would be if Barter was his biological son. Naughty, smart and cute.

Concubine Xian couldn't help but laugh when she said this, "Battle teaches seriously and Concubine An studies seriously. They can understand most of our words and can carry out simple communication."

As he spoke, he pushed a sandalwood box on the coffee table to Li Beichen's hand, "Shangyi Bureau has drafted several titles for Concubine Meng. Your Majesty, which one is suitable?"

Li Beichen took out a piece of gold foil paper from the box, with three titles written on it: Li, Hua, and Xi.

These are common titles for concubines, and they all have good meanings.

The word "Li" means beautiful and moving;

The word "hua" means gorgeous and noble;

The word "Xi" means radiant;

Every account praises Meng Zhao's beauty and brilliance.

"I think these three are pretty good. Jing'er, which one do you think is better?"

Concubine Xian held the gold foil paper and said with a smile, "Sister Concubine Meng, she has a beautiful face, is generous and dignified, and is as bright as the spring sunshine. I think these three titles are very suitable for her. If it is really difficult to choose, the emperor can directly draft one one?"

Li Beichen pondered for a moment, "I thought of a title, which is suitable for her."

"Oh?" Concubine Xian pursed her lips and smiled, "I also thought of something. How about the emperor and I both write down what they are thinking on paper and see if they are the same?"

Li Beichen agreed.

The two wrote separately, and Liang Xiaobao took them apart and showed them. They actually wrote the same word in tacit understanding:
"Jane".

Li Beichen said with a smile, "Jing'er still understands my thoughts best."

Concubine Xian smiled: "The word "zhen" can reflect Concubine Meng's preciousness as precious as jade, as well as the emperor's respect and cherishment of her. It is most appropriate. This word makes all the ministers and concubines envious."

Li Beichen held Concubine Xian's hand in his palm, "You! I have already thought about your new title. I gave you the title 'He' before because I think you are the most gentle, peaceful and kind to others. Now I feel that you are the most gentle and peaceful person." This is still not good enough for you. After thinking about it for some time, I think the word Yi is more suitable for you. Do you like it, Concubine Yi?"

Concubine Xian looked at the emperor in surprise, "The title of Yi is a great title. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only Concubine Liu during the reign of Emperor Taizu, the empress of the previous dynasty, was given the title of 'Yi'. I, your concubine, do not deserve it."

Li Beichen held Concubine Xian's hand tightly, thinking of the years of being with her day and night, "This is what I want to give you. Since you like it, follow up."

"Your Majesty~" Concubine Xian blushed immediately after hearing this, her voice was soft and affectionate, and her eyes were affectionate and fiery.

"With the emperor's intention, I am very contented."

Li Beichen picked up Concubine Xian's hair and found two dazzling white hairs, and was a little distracted for a moment.

My cousin is only twenty-four years old.

His throat was a little sore, and he hesitated for a long time before asking, "Jing'er, do you have any other wishes? For example, to go out of the palace or meet your family? Just tell me. I promise you."

Concubine Xian felt sweet in her heart. She didn't know why the emperor asked such a question, so she said softly, "I, I can ask for anything?"

Li Beichen's heart was unusually soft, "Of course."

Concubine Xian said shyly, "As I said, I really want to be an ordinary couple with the emperor for a day and go out to the palace for a walk."

"Okay. I'll go with you."

"Really?" Concubine Xian's voice was as soft as cotton candy, and the tenderness in her eyes overflowed, "There is really no time to be happier than now."

Li Beichen stared at Concubine Xian and said with emotion, "Jing'er, how many years have passed, you have always been so gentle to me."

"Because the emperor is my concubine's husband." Concubine Xian smiled shyly, her smile was like a pear tree, pure and beautiful.

"Why are the emperor's hands so cold? Has any imperial doctor seen it?" Concubine Xian was shocked and asked Mo Yu to pour wolfberry and red date water.

Li Beichen suppressed the sadness in his heart and said calmly, "The imperial doctor has seen it. It's just that I was too tired in the past few days and my vitality was damaged."

"I also heard that the emperor often stays up late at night. The emperor has many things to do every day and must take care of the dragon's body. This must not be done in the future. I will make you some nourishing soup and take good care of it."

After the wolfberry and red date water was served, Concubine Xian blew it cold little by little, and then fed it to Li Beichen by the spoonful. Although it's troublesome to drink like this, it's like feeding a child.

Li Beichen was fed obediently, with a little moisture in his eyes.

"Mother and concubine, father?" When Battelle came over to say good night to his mother and concubine, he looked at this scene in surprise, "Father, are you a child? Do you want my mother and concubine to feed you water?"

Li Beichen scolded with a smile, "Bold! Go to bed quickly."

Battle stubbornly rolled his eyes at Li Beichen, but knelt down to Concubine Xian with unusual respect.

At night, Li Beichen hugged Concubine Xian tightly and pressed against her body. After some hesitation, Concubine Xian asked cautiously: "Since the Emperor has given Sister Meng a title, is it time for Sister Jianing to be promoted as well?"

Li Beichen wanted to give her a promotion, but he was afraid of making others jealous, "Don't worry, wait until Jianing gives birth safely."

Concubine Xian asked in a low voice: "Is the Emperor protecting sister Jianing?"

"Yes." Li Beichen rubbed Concubine Xian's ear.

He suppressed his face and buried it in Concubine Xian's hair. Her neck was soft and warm, just like her.

Desire almost bursts, but he restrains himself.

Li Beichen couldn't explain his feelings for Concubine Xian.

After returning from the battlefield, he didn't know why, but he suddenly became uncharacteristically full of desire for Concubine Xian, and the embarrassment between the two of them before was completely gone.

Li Beichen felt heartbroken when he thought that his cousin would endure the pain and die with him in the future, and suffer another miscarriage.

He rubbed his cousin's arm, up and down. As if to comfort her in the future.

On the second day, Li Beichen went to the morning court and said that he was preparing to draft the word "Zhen" as Meng Zhao's title and asked the previous court for their opinions.

Because this word was not out of line, almost all the courtiers said that this was the emperor's family matter, and they all supported the emperor's decision.

But almost all the courtiers believed that the emperor had sent a signal, that is, he publicly declared the preciousness of the Meng family's daughters and the "cherishing" of the Meng family.

The emperor repeatedly promoted his daughter, and the word "zhen" had a very good meaning. Although Meng Xiang was happy, he was always a little uneasy. He always felt that something big was about to happen, but he couldn't tell what it was.

After Li Beichen went down to court, he called Meng Zhao over to have lunch with him. During the meal, he asked Meng Zhao what he meant.

Meng Zhao had the same idea as everyone else. This was the emperor showing his love for her by blocking her account. After hearing this, he felt sweeter and hurriedly thanked her.

Holding Li Beichen's neck, he called out "Your Majesty, Your Majesty" for a long time, and the plump softness pressed against Li Beichen's chest, making him blush and feel restless. Meng Zhao offered to let Li Beichen relax for a while.

Li Beichen touched her pretty face as bright as a begonia with a complicated expression, and declined her politely, saying that he would criticize the child later.

This rejection made Meng Zhao's love for the emperor grow stronger, and she felt that the emperor was particularly sincere to her.

Shortly after Meng Zhao returned to the palace, Lin Shanggong of the Shangyi Bureau came to the door in person to congratulate him: "The empress is very happy. The emperor personally drafted a title for the empress."

When the scroll is unfolded, the word "zhen" is written in Song Dynasty on the red gilt surface.

Although I had already heard the emperor talk about his title, I felt even more excited when I saw it in person.

Meng Zhao quickly called Chanjuan to give Lin Shanggong the reward.

Lin Shanggong said flatteringly: "This word "Zhen" shows how much the emperor values ​​the empress. This is a first-rate title. Except for the double title, this word is the best among the one-word titles."

"Double seal?"

Lin Shanggong immediately explained, "Double seal means two words. For example, Concubine Yuan Zhao and Empress Yichun of the previous dynasty."

"Like Concubine Jianing?" Meng Zhao asked instinctively. The originally happy mood suddenly turned into a little disappointed.

"Yes." Lin Shanggong replied respectfully, "Double titles are an unparalleled honor. Usually, it is the mother of the concubine who has made great contributions to the previous dynasty, or the mother of the prince."

Meng Zhao suddenly felt like he was good but not good enough and was being compared.

She had only heard that Jianing's title was jointly granted by the Queen Mother and the Emperor. But I didn't expect that there was such exquisiteness in it.

My father has cured floods and plagues in the south of the Yangtze River. Isn’t this considered a great achievement?

And the word "mother of the prince" sounded particularly harsh to her, who was also pregnant.

Lin Shanggong added, "Originally, the Shangyi Bureau drafted three titles with the words Li, Hua, and Xi, and showed them to Concubine Yi. The concubine felt that these words were not good enough, so when the emperor went to Jingren Palace last night, It was suggested that the emperor would personally designate a title for the empress, so the emperor gave the empress the word "zhen"."

Meng Zhao asked in surprise, "The emperor bestows the title of Yi on the virtuous concubine?"

Yi's title is a big one. Only extremely noble and favored concubines and even empresses would use it.

"Yes, this is the new title proposed by the Emperor for the Concubine Xian, to praise the virtues of the Concubine Xian."

Every word Lin Shanggong said has profound meaning. This is to tell Meng Zhao that she can get such an important title all thanks to the Concubine Xian. But with such a heavy weight, Concubine Xian also benefited from it. And no matter how good it is, it can't be as noble as Concubine Jianing's title.

Meng Zhao, who understood the implication, said quickly: "Thank you Lin Shanggong for informing me. I will definitely go to Jingren Palace to congratulate Concubine Xiyi."

Lin Shanggong smiled and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. The canonization ceremony is scheduled for August 12th. At that time, you, Concubine Jianing, and Concubine Tian will be conferred together."

After Lin Shanggong left, Chanjuan saw that Meng Zhao was not as happy as when he heard about the title during lunch. Instead, she felt jealous and lonely, and she quickly enlightened:

"Empress, the title Zhenzi is better than any other title. Although other titles are noble, they are all disguised praises of virtuous virtues. Only the title of Empress directly demonstrates the emperor's feelings for the empress. Don't be fooled by these ulterior motives. The servants instigated it. There are many people in the palace who are eager for the queen to be jealous so that they can use their swords to kill people."

Meng Zhao's brows relaxed after hearing Chanjuan's words, and he caressed the edict. The gold powder on it sparkled, and his smile was like a flower:
"That's right. It's either Tian or An, or Ning or Yi. I can praise you to the heavens, but it's not as important as cherishing it. As long as the emperor stays with me and treats me well, I will be content."

Smiling, he handed the edict to Chanjuan for safekeeping, placing his hand on his still very flat stomach, with a look of longing on his face.

What about a two-word title? You are powerless and the emperor didn’t even give you a promotion status even though you were pregnant, and you don’t even bother to look at it now.

snort!
If a prince can be born, it is not certain whose son will be the prince.
