Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 451 is about to give birth (2)
Now, it's time to set up a formal subordinate official of the East Palace. Because the former crown prince forced the palace to rebel, the original Zhan Shifu also suffered a devastating blow, and almost all of them were implicated in it at that time.

Emperor Xiande was not registered as the crown prince at the beginning, so he did not rebuild the Zhan Shifu, but he also had his own ministers and team members, who made him the sure successor!Now, those most trusted ministers in the court are those who assisted and taught Emperor Xian De back then.

In the past, Emperor Xian De suppressed some papers on the establishment of the crown prince, but now these ministers are directly reporting it.

The main reason is that they feel that it is indeed time to set up a prince.

Now that there is an imperial concubine and she is so favored, the prince born must have a special status, which has already threatened the status of the second prince. If the prince is not established in time, there will be another bloodbath in the future.

Only by setting up a prince early can people's hearts be stabilized.

Of course, there were other voices in the court, and there were quite a few voices to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince.

Although the eldest prince is a concubine, he was born of a noble concubine, let alone the eldest son. In the past dynasties, there was also a rule of establishing a head. In terms of naming, it is not much worse than the second prince.

Emperor Xiande kept silent, and the ministers persevered in exerting pressure on the emperor, with the attitude of not giving up until a crown prince was established.

This made Liang Hong very unhappy, no matter what the ministers said, they didn't let go.

Time passed day by day, and it was mid-September.

Queen Ning also gradually became anxious from being calm at the beginning.

She already knew that the imperial concubine was pregnant with twins, twins are prone to premature birth, and the imperial concubine is very likely to give birth this month, but the crown prince has not been registered yet, which made her anxious.

She was very sure that even if the emperor was unwilling to appoint a prince, under the pressure of many ministers, he would give in and appoint the second prince as the prince.

Although Empress Ning's father was only a fifth-rank Hanlin, he was very noble and had many contacts in the civil service dynasties.Now, it is indeed the time for the appointment of the crown prince. If someone takes the lead, most of the civil servants in the court will spontaneously stand on the side of the second prince. This is why she can be sure that the second prince will be canonized as the crown prince.But now that Emperor Xiande has not let go, she is not so confident.

I am restless, but there is nothing I can do. Now I can only hope that the ministers can be tougher.

At the same time, she did not forget to secretly pray to gods and Buddhas, praying that the imperial concubine would not survive this life-and-death test during childbirth.

It's not that she doesn't want to do something secretly, it's just that the imperial concubine is protected by His Majesty, and she has no room to do anything.

As Su Wan's belly got bigger and bigger, Emperor Xian De became more and more nervous.

Hearing from the imperial physician, she was very likely to give birth prematurely, so the delivery room was prepared early, the imperial physician and Mrs. Wen were on call at any time, and even the nanny had already been chosen.

Now, Su Wan has returned to Yongning Palace, she can never give birth in Qinzheng Palace.

The front hall of Qinzheng Hall is where the emperor handles government affairs. He often summons ministers to discuss state affairs, and sometimes holds a small court meeting. It can also be regarded as the imperial study room.

It is even worse to give birth in the apse, even if Emperor Xiande agrees, the ministers will not agree.

Apart from handling government affairs, Emperor Xian De wished to stick with Su Wan all the time, he was even more nervous than Su Wan.The whole person was a little restless, even if the imperial doctor said that Su Wan's pregnancy was very good, he was not at ease.His eyes often look at Su Wan wrongly and rightly, as if he is afraid that she will disappear in the next moment.

Su Wan felt a little funny, but she was more moved. Even if she was restrained and controlled by him, she didn't think he was annoying. Cooperating with and conniving with his behavior could at least relieve his worries and make him less uneasy. .

Because the imperial doctor said to go out and walk around more before giving birth, every time Emperor Xian De would accompany Su Wan to the imperial garden for a stroll.Nanny Li and Mrs. Wen took them with them to avoid any emergencies.

Every time they go out, the imperial garden will be cleared. Sometimes some concubines are enjoying the scenery and relaxing in the imperial garden. When the imperial concubine comes, they will all be expelled by force. Liang Hong will not let any accident happen.

Of course, he didn't tell Su Wan about this, and Su Wan was wondering why no concubine had a "coincidental encounter". You know, even if they were always separated, they would persevere in chasing after them, very resilient.

When Su Wan raised a question, Emperor Xian De said flatly, maybe it's because it's cold, they don't want to come out.Su Wan didn't ask too many questions, anyway, no matter if it was true or not, it would be better if no one hindered them.

On this day, the autumn is crisp and the weather is excellent.

After dealing with the government affairs, Emperor Xiande saw that it was just past time, and there was still some time before noon, so he immediately drove to Yongning Palace. Today's weather is good, just suitable for going out for a walk.

So, he accompanied Su Wan to the imperial garden again. Although he didn't take a sedan chair, he always prepared a sedan chair. Su Wan might give birth anytime soon, so he had to make various preparations.

The two only walked along the east road of the Royal Garden, Duixiu Mountain Yujing Pavilion, Lizao Hall, Fubiting Pavilion, Jiangxue Pavilion, Wanchun Pavilion, etc. The garden is full of ancient cypresses and old locust trees, potted flower piles, a little It is not monotonous. Although many scenery have been seen countless times, but now it seems that it is still interesting.

The two walked back slowly, Su Wan was a little tired, so Emperor Xian De supported Su Wan and sat together in the Liujiao Pavilion not far from Wanchun Pavilion.

Han Shancha and others immediately placed thick embroidered cushions, pastries, melons and fruits on the stone bench, and served hot tea to the emperor.

Su Wan looked around and suddenly laughed.

"What is Wan'er laughing at?" Liang Hong couldn't help asking in surprise seeing Su Wan's mischievous smile and looking at him with teasing eyes.

Su Wan stopped laughing, and said solemnly: "You guess for yourself, I won't tell you."

Liang Hong didn't continue to ask. He observed the surrounding scenery, and if he realized something, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "So Wan'er still remembers that incident."

Su Wan pursed her lips and smiled, "You scared me to death back then."

The smile on Emperor Xiande's face deepened, and he said: "I saw you sitting in the pavilion, although I only saw your back, I was still attracted, I thought you were a concubine in the harem at first! "

Su Wan rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't you know my identity later? You're still the same..." threatening her.

Emperor Xian De had a thick skin and didn't feel any embarrassment or guilt.He held Su Wan's hand, looked at her softly and said, "Who made Wan'er arouse my interest in the first place! If it were someone else, I wouldn't even look at her."

"Bah! I don't believe it!" Su Wan said with a smile. At that time, he was obviously lustful and wanted to have a night with her.
