Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Zhu Xuan has been temporarily quiet again recently.

Recently, things in the Cen family have become more serious. Zhu Xuan is worried that Cen Hua will think too much or be in a bad mood, so he often comes to stay with Cen Hua and give her the comfort she needs.

"Your Highness, you don't have to stay with me all the time."

"If other sisters find out, they will definitely think that I am competing for favor, which will not be good for His Highness."

"I've thought about it. It's really okay."

Cen Hua is still very considerate, knows how to think about Zhu Xuan, and knows what should be done and what should not be done. It is really inappropriate to accompany her like this all the time.

Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "I know, I just feel like I owe you something."

Cen Hua shook her head and said: "I don't owe you at all. On the contrary, our Cen family owes His Highness."

You must know that Zhu Xuan trusted the Cen family at first. Cen Jing was so rebellious and betrayed Zhu Xuan's trust. Cen Hua struggled with this for a long time.

"No debt."

Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "We don't owe each other anything."

After a pause, he looked outside and saw that the sky was dark and it was already night. He then said, "I'm hungry, and you should be hungry too. Hou Xian asked the people in the imperial kitchen to prepare dinner quickly."

Hou Xian immediately ran out and asked the people in the imperial kitchen to bring dinner.

However, while eating, Cen Hua suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. After taking two more mouthfuls, she couldn't help it. She covered her mouth and was about to vomit. This frightened Zhu Xuan, thinking that If you eat something wrong, it will damage your body.

"Come here, call the imperial doctor quickly."

Zhu Xuan said anxiously.

Cen Hua shook her head and said: "Your Highness, I am fine. Maybe the food tonight is too greasy and I am not used to it."

The food was actually not greasy. There must be something wrong with his body, which made Zhu Xuan very nervous. Not long after waiting, the imperial doctor walked in in a hurry.

"Quickly, check Hua'er."

Zhu Xuan said quickly.

The imperial doctor did not dare to neglect, and quickly took Cen Hua's pulse, asked a few more questions, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, your highness, congratulations to the empress. This is a sign of bad luck, but I am not sure if it is. I need to observe it for a few more days. Tomorrow Come check it out again.”

"what?"

Zhu Xuan and Cen Hua exclaimed at the same time.

To be unhappy means to be pregnant with a child.

Cen Hua was surprised and thought, is she pregnant?

This surprise came so suddenly and so fast that they couldn't react at the moment and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Hou Xian, send the imperial doctor away."

Zhu Xuan said, and when there was no one else in the room, he happily picked up Cen Hua and held her in his arms.

"Your Highness, I am... I am really pregnant with a child?"

Cen Hua didn't seem to believe it, so she looked at Zhu Xuan and asked.

She also longed for a child. With a child, her status in the palace would be different. This was a great and joyful event.

"Yes, I still remember Yuan Jun and Miao Jin. They just got pregnant and they were about to vomit."

"Xiuying still can't eat greasy food now. She needs to eat something sour."

"Come here, tell Grandpa Huang, and then tell Yuan Jun and the others."

Zhu Xuan said happily.

Immediately, the palace maids and eunuchs received this order and ran to deliver the news. It was indeed a great joy for the concubines of the Eastern Palace to be pregnant with the child.

Not long after, Mu Yuanjun and the others came.

"Sister Hua'er, is it true?"

Mu Yuanjun asked happily as soon as he came in.

Cen Hua explained what happened just now in detail, so it was basically certain that it was true.

For this reason, the East Palace was in rejoicing all night.

"Sister Xiuying's child is almost ready, right?"

Xu Miaojin asked.

Tie Xiuying blushed and said, "After counting the days, it's almost time. My belly is getting bigger and bigger. I can feel the child kicking me." Ouzhu reminded: "Sister Xiuying, you must be careful and don't be casual in the future. Go out and arrange enough people to take care of you.”

At present, their focus is still on Tie Xiuying's belly.

The child who is about to be born is actually still very fragile.

Zhu Xuan listened to them imparting their experiences to each other on how to protect the fetus. As a man, he listened with great interest, and he felt that there was something wrong with him.

-

the next day.

Zhu Xuan went to court as normal. When the court meeting was over, Yunqi came over and said that Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to go there.

When he arrived at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Xuan bowed first.

"Another little great-grandson?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

The main reason why I brought Zhu Xuan over was to ask about this matter.

When Lao Zhu got the news yesterday, he was so happy that he could hardly sleep. The more children and grandchildren his Lao Zhu family has, the better it is for him, and that's what they say.

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "Grandpa Huang, yes! Hua'er is pregnant with a child."

"it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "You are much better than your father, haha... We have a great-grandson again. Unfortunately, we have to be cruel and prioritize. We can only be good to Wen Gui. If we treat other great-grandchildren It's easy for Sun to misunderstand him."

When it comes to the royal family, it's difficult to treat everyone equally.

You can only focus on cultivating your direct grandchildren and ignore others.

Otherwise, other children and grandchildren may compete with the eldest son, which may easily cause instability within the royal family. This is a very serious matter.

"You will do the same in the future!"

Zhu Yuanzhang warned: "It is difficult for us to treat everyone equally, but while being kind to Wen Gui, we must also consider the feelings of other great-grandchildren, but we must also tell them from an early age that the future prince can only be Wen Gui."

"My grandson understands!"

Zhu Xuan nodded.

In fact, it is quite troublesome to handle these relationships well.

Zhu Xuan also knows that relationships are difficult to handle.

In the future, we can only try our best to educate them more.

"Okay, go to work!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and started to chase people away, and then said: "There are still a lot of things outside waiting for you to deal with, so don't worry about us anymore."

"My grandson left first."

Zhu Xuan bowed and bowed before retreating outside.

After returning to Wenhua Pavilion, before Zhu Xuan could do anything, Zhang Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs, arrived.

"Greetings to Your Highness."

Zhang Yan knelt down and saluted.

Zhu Xuan asked him to get up and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Yan said: "It is still about the imperial examination. All the foreign scholars who are preparing to take part in the imperial examination have now come to Jinling. Under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, they are temporarily preparing for the examination in Beijing. I have already released the news about the ranking."

"What's the reaction outside?"

Zhu Xuan asked curiously.

Zhang Yan said: "There is not much response. After all, foreign scholars will not take up the quota of Ming scholars. There are only some occasional discussions and nothing else."

There are no bad effects, that’s fine.

The cake in Ming Dynasty's officialdom is only so big.

If no one affects the division of the whole big cake, but prepares a small cake separately for the foreign scholars to share, it will actually not matter.

Those kind of small cakes are still looked down upon by the Ming Dynasty scholars.

All of it was given to foreigners, and they didn’t think there was any problem. (End of chapter)
