Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 60 Wang Clan

After all, Wang Qihong is a person who has experienced hardships, and it is not easy to get to where she is today.

Therefore, she cherishes her relationship with Zhu Gaoxu very much, so much so that she worries about gains and losses.

When she got on the carriage brought by Zhu Gaoxu and drove slowly towards the Ming Palace, she felt that all this was like a dream.

Emperor Hongwu, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, wanted to see her, indicating that he recognized her existence.

Wang Qihong couldn't believe that she would go from a lowly slave to the political center of the glorious Ming Dynasty and become the granddaughter-in-law of Emperor Hongwu.

As we all know, once Emperor Hongwu dies, King Yan Zhu Di will ascend the throne as emperor, and Zhu Gaoxu will be the eldest son of King Yan, even the future prince, and even the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
Wang Qihong has never been so nervous as she is today.

She dare not think!

"Your Majesty, what etiquette should I pay attention to when I see Your Majesty later?"

In the carriage, Wang Qihong asked cautiously.

Zhu Gaoxu held Wang Qihong's hands and replied softly: "It's enough to meet the emperor by paying homage. There is no need for too many red tapes."

Wang Qihong once lived in the palace of Prince Yan in Peking for three years. She is very familiar with many etiquettes. Moreover, she was a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Korea when she was a child. She was exposed to it through whispers since she was a child, and it was not difficult for her to learn the many complicated etiquettes of the Ming Dynasty. .

After hearing what Zhu Gaoxu said, she felt a lot more at ease, but she was still a little worried because after getting in the car, Zhu Gaoxu had taken off the mask on her face.

After a pause, Wang Qihong asked softly: "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty came in and was feeling unwell and in a bad mood. Will you be disgusted with me because I am ugly and ask you to drive me out of the house?"

"That's not the case. Grandpa should have learned of your existence a year ago. When he learned that you were pregnant with Liujia and approaching your delivery date, he really wanted to take a look at you."

Zhu Gaoxu carefully recalled Zhu Yuanzhang's demeanor when he talked with him yesterday, and answered seriously.

Seeing that Wang Qihong's face still showed nervousness, Zhu Gaoxu comforted her and said, "Don't worry too much, in case you have fetal motility."

"Yeah." Wang Qihong had no choice but to clench her hands and hold back her uneasy mood.

The carriage traveled smoothly and arrived at the main entrance of the palace smoothly.

After getting off the carriage, Zhu Gaoxu led Wang Qihong into the chariot given by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The two of them each took a chariot and were escorted by Zhao Junchen and others. After entering the Meridian Gate, they crossed the Jinshui Bridge, then entered the West Corner Gate, then went straight through the middle right gate and the back right gate, and arrived in front of the West Palace Gate.

Zhu Yuanzhang was resting and recuperating in the West Palace today. He saw no foreign ministers and all political affairs were handed over to King Zhu Di of Yan.

Zhu Gaoxu helped Wang Qihong get out of the chariot, and then stood in front of the palace door, waiting for the announcement from the chamberlain on duty.

He looked at the gate of the West Palace and remembered something. In the early Ming Dynasty in history, the West Palace was where the emperor lived, and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang died here.

In the past few days, Zhu Yuanzhang had been staying overnight in Qianqing Palace, but today he moved to the West Palace.

In Zhu Gaoxu's view, perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his end was approaching, so he moved to the West Palace, which was slightly quieter than Qianqing Palace.

The front hall of the West Palace is five rooms wide, with a throne and dragon bed. The back hall is also five rooms wide, with an agarwood throne in the middle. There are dragon beds on both sides, each with a small bed, which can be returned.

"Your Majesty, see you soon." The chamberlain came out of the palace and reported back.

So, Zhu Gaoxu led Wang Qihong into the front hall of the West Palace.

"Grandpa, my grandson brought Mrs. Wang."

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the dragon bed, half-kneeling and said.

"Greetings to His Majesty, I wish His Majesty a long life."

Wang Qihong held her belly with both hands, knelt down slowly, then let go of her hands, leaned down, and performed a salute.

Zhu Yuanzhang steeled himself, forced himself to sit up, and said, "I'm almost flat. Gao Xu, why don't you help Wang?"

After the two of them got up, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Qihong and said, "Child, come to us."

Zhu Gaoxu took Wang Qihong's hand and walked to the dragon bed.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked Wang Qihong up and down with kind eyes, then nodded to Zhu Gaoxu and said, "You kid hides people so deeply that you almost hid it from us too."

Wang Qihong secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Emperor Ming didn't pay too much attention to the birthmark on her forehead. "Your Majesty, His Highness King Yan and Princess Yan would like to see you?"

At this moment, the servant's report sounded outside the palace gate.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not respond to the waiter outside the door, but looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said weakly: "Why don't you go and welcome your parents in?"

When Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door, he saw King Yan Zhu Di and Princess Xu coming hand in hand.

"Father, mother, you are here."

After Zhu Di and his wife received the news sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, they were eager to see this Wang family that they had never noticed in the past.

Princess Xu was brought to the capital by Zhu Yuanzhang's order five years ago because King Yan Zhu Di moved into Chunhe Hall, and the couple reunited in the palace.

Since Zhu Gaoxu was ordered by the emperor to go to Peking to control military affairs four years ago, Princess Xu has not seen Zhu Gaoxu more than two hands a year.

"Gao Xu, how can you hide such a thing from me?"

Princess Xu grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's hand and said with complicated emotions.

Her eldest son, Zhu Gaochi, had passed away a few years ago. In recent years, she could only see Zhu Gaochi, who came to Beijing on orders, during major festivals such as Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday and the annual Zhengdan Festival.

In addition, her youngest son Zhu Gaosui was granted the title of Queen of Lingshou County last year and has left the capital for the fiefdom.

Therefore, she is very concerned about Zhu Gaoxu, her second son who can often be seen by her side.

However, due to her identity and geographical distance, she did not have Zhu Di's means to learn about Zhu Gaoxu's current situation through spies, so she did not know how many women Zhu Gaoxu had outside.

"Mom, don't be angry, I didn't mean to hide it. After all, the Wang family is from a foreign race. If it is known to others too early, I am afraid it will attract criticism."

Zhu Gaoxu explained quickly.

"Gao Xu, I heard that Mrs. Wang is about to give birth. I wonder if it is true or not?"

Zhu Di couldn't help asking.

He had spies around Zhu Gaoxu, so he knew that after Zhu Gaoxu won a foreign campaign four years ago, he brought back a lot of trophies, including Wang Qihong, who was adopted as a maid by Zhu Gaoxu.

The spies only discovered that Wang Qihong later secretly took charge of the cloth business for Zhu Gaoxu, but they did not find out when Zhu Gaoxu took the girl into his account.

"Dad, Wang's delivery date is this month." Zhu Gaoxu replied respectfully.

Zhu Di was surprised and happy when he heard the exact answer.

Surprisingly, Zhu Gaoxu was able to hide Wang Qihong from his spies, which was very unexpected.

Fortunately, he is very likely to be a grandfather.

After a while.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Di came to the dragon bed in the palace.

"We leave Wang to you today. Send someone to clean up a courtyard from the East Sixth Palace and let Wang live in it."

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang saw Princess Xu, he immediately spoke slowly.

"I will obey the holy edict." Princess Xu quickly saluted and said respectfully.

At this moment, Wang Qihong's expression suddenly changed, she immediately held her stomach with both hands, turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu beside her, and said in a painful voice: "Your Majesty, I have unbearable abdominal pain."

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Wang is afraid that she is going to give birth."

Princess Xu had experience in childbirth. She quickly stepped forward and supported Zhu Gaoxu on the left and right sides of Wang Qihong, who was weak. After asking the other party a few questions, she reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Come on, send the imperial physician!"

Zhu Di shouted loudly outside the palace.
