There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 284 Emperor Xianzong's thoughts

Emperor Xianzong went to Bo Xiang'er's place, and it didn't alarm anyone. Recently, because Concubine Wan was happy, Mrs. Bo Zhen came in more frequently, and now she happened to be at Concubine Bai's place.

The Bai family has been secretly delivering things to Concubine Bai. Food and drink are never used in the palace. They have more experience than when the princess was born, but because the servants are rewarded by the empress dowager and the emperor, they I can't buy too many, and I don't dare to buy too much, for fear of being known by the empress dowager and the emperor.

But because Concubine Bai is the empress after all, and now she is pregnant again, she ordered everyone not to approach the inner hall, and to stand guard outside, leaving herself and her mother talking in the room, and no one dared to disobey.

Even the old nanny was not left behind.

When Emperor Xianzong came, it was just right, but he also listened to the wall.

"This baby must be the prince." Mrs. Bo Zhen said cheerfully: "From now on, it will be the prince, the future emperor.

Emperor Xianzong was taken aback, the future emperor?

There is nothing wrong with the prince, as long as he does not die, the son will always be the prince.

But to become the emperor, that means he died...

"In the future, we must educate the prince well and let him kiss us since he was a child. Look at the emperor, either he was raised by the queen mother, or he was not close to the queen mother." Mrs. Bo Zhen dared to say anything outside because there was no one in the room. : "Even if you look at the intimacy now, look at the Zhou family. You rarely see the emperor all year round. I heard that Zhou Ying hasn't had a suitable daughter-in-law until now!"

"There is an empress dowager, but there is still a lack of a daughter-in-law?" Concubine Bai sneered at this, "It's just that I am not that kind of material, and it is well known that the emperor doesn't like his natal family.

"If you really look after your natal family, the Zhou family would have woken up earlier." Concubine Bai gloated and said, "The empress dowager still says that the emperor is filial every day!"

Concubine Bai can't see Zhou's family, or even Empress Dowager Zhou, because it was Empress Dowager Qian who liked her back then.

"Grandson, you must be filial to your mother and get close to your grandparents!" Mrs. Baizhen rambled, "I will give your grandparents a big seal in the future..."

...

Bai Xiang'er also said: "The emperor raised by this palace must be filial to this palace, so you can't just talk about it...

Emperor Xianzong couldn't listen anymore, turned around and left. Eunuch Wynn threatened the palace people again, threatened the palace with a few words, and hurriedly chased after the emperor.

The old mama let out a sigh of relief, and turned her head to look at the inner hall. She didn't know what the empress said to the madam, but seeing the emperor's face, it was not that bad...

As Emperor Xianzong walked, he was overwhelmed and thought about many things.

Wantong still didn't know that Emperor Xianzong heard different corners, and hurried to the front palace to have an audience with Emperor Xianzong after he came out of Zhaode Palace.

At that time, Emperor Xianzong had already returned to Qianqing Palace, just as Shang Ming also came over.

"My lord, this is the money for selling seeds in the spring of this year." Shang Ming sent money to Emperor Xianzong as soon as he came: "This year, we have started to sell small batches of corn, tomato and other seeds."

They are all sold to nobles, and it is estimated that more people will ask for seeds next year.

All that was given was real money, and Shang Ming was getting more and more comfortable making money.

"That's right." Emperor Xianzong looked at the account book that Shang Ming handed over: "You have worked hard too, and I will reward you with 200 taels of silver.

"Thank you, the emperor!" Shang Ming bowed: "This servant is doing business for the emperor, so it's not hard."

"I rewarded you, do you still adopt orphans?" Emperor Xianzong remembered that Shang Ming was a kind companion.

"Slaves not only adopt orphans, but also take care of others, but most of them are husbands." Shang Ming nodded and bowed: "They are all people who have no such thing. When they are old, they will spend the rest of their lives together. Just kidding, it's pretty good."

My husband is an old eunuch. If he is powerful and powerful, then of course he will live a happy life in his later years, but most eunuchs are impossible to get ahead, and it is not uncommon for them to work in the cold palace for a lifetime.

There are quite a few old eunuchs like this in the palace. Naturally, there is a place for them to take care of them in the palace, but the conditions are much worse.

Shangming's nursing home is mainly a place for these husbands to retire. There are strong servants and strong men who help cook, wash clothes, tidy up the house, chop firewood, carry water and burn the kang.

Husbands only need to eat enough and wear warm clothes every day, wake up when they want, sleep when they want, sleep when they want, and they don’t have to do anything, and they can’t do it anymore. it's time

In Shangming's nursing home, after he adopted orphans, he saw that some husbands were not as good as orphans, so he simply took care of them, hoping that when he was old, someone would take care of him like this.

"You are very good." Emperor Xianzong was very moved: "I will do this again in the future, I will reward you with 1000 taels of silver, and take good care of them.

"Slaves obey the order." Eunuch Shang Ming knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Xianzong in a decent manner: "Slaves will definitely handle their errands well, so that the father-in-laws will have no worries.

Even Wynn's eyes were red, and he looked at Shang Ming with kindness.

"Zhongming, have you visited Zhen'er?" Emperor Xianzong looked at Wantong.

"Yes, I have visited Eldest Sister." Wantong said with a smile, "Elder Sister's pregnancy is stable, and she doesn't even see picky eaters."

"Zhen'er has a good temper, and the children are all like her." Emperor Xianzong smiled, but he was a little reluctant: "Send back the memorial of the imperial censor, fine him half a year's salary, don't let the wind be rain in the future, let him do his job well , Don’t always think about impeaching this, look at that, and take care of yourself first.”

"Yes." Wantong lowered his head, did he intend to dispose of the Bai family?

That's right, Concubine Bai is pregnant with Liujia now, but she has a baby egg!

"How's Maid Wu?" Emperor Xianzong changed the subject.

"Oh, Wu Qiong, Wu servant's nephew, is about to marry Zhang Sheng's champion's daughter. Dear..." Wantong told Emperor Xianzong about the marriage.

Emperor Xianzong was also happy to see the success, so he allowed Wantong to act cheaply.

"Also, Wu Ying came to look for Maid Wu, but You Wei did not see him. The minister investigated later, and Wu Ying seemed to be paying attention to the Bai Mansion. Bai Zhen asked someone to impeach Tan Hua Lang, and he also knew the news in advance..." Wantong talked about Wu Ying.

However, when he mentioned the Bai Mansion, Emperor Xianzong remembered Bai Concubine's words, "It is a well-known fact that the emperor doesn't like his natal family."

So, it's because he doesn't get close to his cousin, so his cousin has been so up to now, he doesn't even have a decent daughter-in-law..., does even his own concubine look down on his cousin?

Thinking of Wan Zhen'er again, Zhen'er always admonished herself to be filial to the Queen Mother. It was not easy for the Queen Mother back then. During those days, there were very few people who survived together, and mother and child. In this world, only the Queen Mother is left as the blood relative of the emperor , the princesses and princes are all juniors, only the queen mother is the direct elder, the elder who can love and sympathize with the emperor...

But Wantong and Maid Wu are pulling Zhou Yingyi to do everything...

He also participates in shares, earns a lot of money every month, and gets year-end dividends every year. Can it be said that the Zhou family also has...?

Thinking of Baitang Fangzi, it seems that Wantong also said to take one share from the Zhou family, one share from the British Duke and one share from the Wei Guogong, one share from the Wu family, and one share from the Wan family...I own four shares exclusively, leaving one share for the future crown prince. ..

The Wan family thinks long-term for Daming, what about the Bai family?

Their family is also for Daming, but they are for Da Ming who is in charge of the piece of meat in Concubine Bai's stomach...

"Don't worry about him, since they are separated, they are strangers to each other." Emperor Xianzong waved his hand: "Wu Ying is Wu Ying, and Wu servant is Wu servant.

Wantong lowered his head and smiled: "Yes.

With the emperor's words, let's see how Bai Zhen wins Wu Ying over.

On the other hand, Wu Youwei happily invited the official media, and came to his nephew to say goodbye to his nephew openly and aboveboard.

They used to marry outsiders, but this time they were going to marry at home, of course it was different.

In order to show the sincerity of the Wu family, Wu Youwei personally brought his nephew, sister-in-law and niece to the Zhang residence.

Because Zhang Sheng is already the No. [-] scholar, the Zhang residence is now changed to the Zhang residence.

The Zhang family saw that the Wu family was very sincere and gave a lot of face. Even if the marriage was accepted, Wu Youwei quickly made a decision while the iron was hot.

After making an appointment, I asked for a date, and finally set it in August, August Xinyou.

This time, the daughter of the Zhang family has been found, and the boy of the Wu family has an unmarried fiancée.

When the day came to June, on the first day of the new year, Concubine Bai's palace was in full swing.

Because she was conceived in September or October last year, and now it is full month, and now it happens to be the day when she is about to give birth.

Concubine Wan closed Zhaode Palace and lived in Zhaode Palace with the two princesses. Vegetables and fruits were delivered early, and everything in the palace was in order.

Concubine Bai, on the other hand, doesn't eat anything from the palace, but only eats food from her own home, whether it's vegetables, fruits, poultry, eggs or meat.

Feeling nervous every day, Bo Zhen's wife wanted to visit the palace and accompany the delivery, but Emperor Xianzong signaled to Eunuch Huai En that he refused.

Eunuch Wynn knew what the emperor had heard that day, so he carried it out very thoroughly. Even though Bo Zhen's wife gave him a lot of money, he was not accommodating.

After dismissing Bai Zhen's wife, Eunuch Huai En sighed and went back to serve Emperor Xianzong.

"Don't you understand why I don't let Bo Zhen's wife enter the palace to accompany Concubine Bo to give birth?" Emperor Xianzong sat there after approving the memorial, and chatted with Eunuch Wynn when he saw him come back.

"I don't understand, servant girl. When the fourth princess was born, didn't she also accompany the delivery?" Eunuch Huai En smiled coyly: "Not this time, Mrs. Bai is in a hurry."

"I'm afraid he will come to me too..." Emperor Xianzong didn't say what it was, but just raised his legs and went to Zhaode Palace.

Eunuch Wynn was still young, so he didn't understand for a while. Emperor Xianzong didn't stay in the harem at night, but went to the front palace to sleep alone.

On the second day, Eunuch Huai'en had a rest and just returned to the eunuch's residence. He saw a court lady holding a civet cat. The civet cat in the palace was used to catch mice, but Eunuch Huai'en thought of it.Order... civet cat for prince...

Suddenly hit a smart!

Concubine Bai wouldn't be so bold... would she?

On the day of Renzi, Concubine Bai started.

The entire palace became tense, and Emperor Xianzong was also nervous, not only wishing to be a prince, but also thinking of Concubine Bai's remarks, hoping to give birth to a princess.

If it's a prince...

Concubine Bai started to have labor pains at night, she entered the delivery room, she was in pain all night, but she still hasn't given birth yet.

In Zhaode Palace, Concubine Wan looked at Emperor Xianzong who was teasing his little daughter: "My lord, why don't you go and see...?"

"It's just having a baby." Emperor Xianzong still tried to relax himself when he was nervous, such as playing with his little daughter.

Concubine Wan touched her unshaped belly: "A woman giving birth is like passing through the gates of hell, my lord, when Zhen'er is born...

"I will definitely guard the door!" Emperor Xianzong opened his mouth and came.

When Wan Zhen'er gave birth to the two princesses, Emperor Xianzong really guarded "the door, and others didn't have this treatment.

Emperor Xianzong finally fell asleep with his pillow on Wan Zhen'er's arm. He felt that he was becoming more and more dependent on Zhen'er. Without her by his side, he couldn't even fall asleep.

After one night, at breakfast time, no one came to announce the good news, so Emperor Xianzong went out to court.

Wan Zhen'er took the eldest princess to send Emperor Xianzong away, hugged the little princess, fed her some breakfast, and sent someone to inquire, how is Concubine Bai?

Concubine Bai gave birth today, and Bai Zhen happened to be on duty, silently waiting in her heart for the birth of her grandson....
