My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 151 Prince and Princess
finally--

A monk who has established a foundation in the Ming Dynasty is already capable of suppressing one party, commanding the army, intimidating the powerful, and driving away evil spirits.

Zhu Houcong's heart was burning.

Faced with this good news, he suddenly thought of his sons and daughters who should have been born during his Eastern Expedition.

He looked at Huang Jin.

"Did the birth go smoothly for the ladies in the palace?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty's great blessing, except for Empress Li of Changchun Palace who had some difficulties in giving birth to the prince due to family reasons, the rest of the empresses went smoothly."

Huang Jinneng went out of his way to say that something was not going well in front of Zhu Houcong——

Probably death is not far away either.

I went back and forth several times with the door of hell closed.

It is worth pondering whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.

Zhu Houcong vaguely remembered that during the pregnancy preparations, there was a funeral in the family of the concubine named Li Wenyu.

The prince cannot be raised during the mourning period according to the etiquette.

What kind of thing is this now? A childless person is trying to grab a prince to raise under his knees, and now he is preparing to kill someone through childbirth, once and for all?

Looking at the black ice entering the lake in front of him, the first wave of spiritual energy dissipated.

Ice blowing from the lake was colder than ever.

Zhu Houcong's mind was filled with thoughts.

Who did it?

Zhu Houcong looked in the direction of Cining Palace, vaguely having an answer in his heart.

"The Empress Dowager took pity on Concubine Li because of her family mourning and her frail health, so she temporarily raised the prince under her name. Recently, Jiang Wan and Empress Jiang are helping the Queen Mother take care of the little prince."

Empress Dowager Jiang, her own mother is undoubtedly the most suspect.

For this woman, even if there are more than ten people in the royal family, all the princes, princes and daughters are her own children.

This is not difficult.

She is extremely familiar with this set of rules and ethics. Assassination, accidents, and poisoning are just routine methods.

Even the art of witchcraft and Gu is somewhat proficient.

In such a cruel and terrifying world, everyone is desperately fighting for those pitiful resources, either for themselves or for the family behind them.

Zhu Houcong had long forgotten what the girl named Li Wenyu looked like.

I only remember that she was a quiet and elegant woman. Unfortunately, because of the greed for power of her father, brother, relatives and friends behind her, such a good girl was sent into the harem arena where people were killed without blood and brutal competition.

If you don't kill me today, I will kill you tomorrow.

Unless the three tribes of these beautiful ladies were annihilated before entering the palace, maybe we could barely distinguish right from wrong in these matters in the palace.

But how is this possible?
But... even so, a living life was about to disappear in front of him, Zhu Houcong had to save it.

"Pass my order, you take the imperial doctor to Changchun Palace to prescribe some good prescriptions for Li Wenyu to recuperate. During the period of recuperation, you will personally send people from the Royal Horse Prison to deliver all the food and drinks there."

Zhu Houcong said.

The water in the Taiye pool in front of him was glowing with crystal blue.

The spiritual fish in the water were nourished by the spiritual energy and were particularly excited at this time. They jumped out of the water one after another to express their inner joy.

The reason why he dared to ignore Chen Li's warning and seize Xuan Bing and put it into Taiye Pond.

It's because Zhu Houcong knows that this kind of thing is not so attractive to a certain destiny that is still dormant at present.

Maybe it's because the level of Fire Virtue in the southern suburbs is too high, or maybe it's because his condition is good enough and he's not as cold-blooded as the other things outside the Great Wall that are completely starved.

Zhu Houcong didn't think he would care about the thing in his hand.

As for the other monsters who covet Xuan Bing, those losers may not dare to make trouble against this destiny and openly seize the treasure.Although this Fire Virtue Destiny is usually silent, it is still somewhat useful if you study it carefully.

Feeling the spiritual energy in the air becoming more and more intense as time went by, Zhu Houcong said again.

"Invite the palaces to send the princes and princesses to Xiyuan. I want to meet my sons and daughters."

"Yes--"

Huang Jin resigned.

He answered, his voice soft and his steps like a cat.

In almost a moment, it merged with the surrounding scenery, and disappeared beside Taiye Pond through the cover of trees and animals.

Zhu Houcong arranged his clothes, and suddenly the emperor, who was supposed to be in the Eastern Expeditionary Army, suddenly appeared in the Wanshou Palace in Xiyuan and summoned the princes. They were shocked.

At this time, no one knew what the emperor wanted to do when he suddenly returned to Beijing.

They could only think about their own thoughts, hold the prince and princess in their arms, and after washing and dressing up, they followed Huang Jin and the ghostly eunuchs to the Wanshou Palace for an audience.

While the carriage was driving on the road to Wanshou Palace, Jiang Wan held Concubine Li's son in her arms and looked at the giggling little one in her arms. Her originally uneasy heart felt a little calmer.

"Today is your first time to meet your father. As the emperor, you must behave well."

The baby in her arms seemed to understand what she meant, and looked directly at Jiang Wan with a pair of clear eyes.

"Mother, there is news from the Changchun Palace. Your Majesty has sent the imperial doctor over, saying that he wants to take good care of Concubine Li."

Jiang Wan's maid is no longer the one in front of Jingyang Palace, but a new one selected by Empress Dowager Jiang from the clan and sent to her side.

Jiang Wan's arms that were originally holding the baby stiffened.

"Then did your Majesty say anything -"

"not at all."

Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking about it, according to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, if there is a funeral in the concubine's family, it is not appropriate to raise the prince.

What's more, this child is now being raised by the Queen Mother in name only.

There is no reason in the world for a son to snatch his grandson from his grandmother.

The Ming Dynasty has always governed the world with benevolence and filial piety, although His Majesty's actions are unpredictable.

But he is not a random person.

Still willing to set an example in major matters and maintain the stability of etiquette and order in the world.

The arrangements made by the inner court and the Ministry of Rites in accordance with the ancestral system will not be destroyed or modified at will.

And when everyone arrived at the Longevity Palace in Xiyuan and paid homage to the emperor, it was just as Jiang Wan had thought.

The emperor only briefly expressed that Concubine Li was unwell and that those who lived close to her should take more care of her to save her life, but there was no further explanation.

Immediately, the emperor, who had not been seen for many days and whose power became even stronger, walked down the golden stage.

The eunuchs who followed Huang Jin and had a chill all over their bodies knelt down in front of the emperor and respectfully and carefully lifted the princes and princesses up one by one. When the emperor approached, he loudly read out the name of the child in his hands and who his mother was. .

The male Ding Zhu Houcong also handed over the naming rights to the Ministry of Rites in accordance with the past Ming court practice, while the female Ding had her biological mother decide on her own.

Even the eldest son of the emperor was like this. At this time, people thought about the performance of the emperor holding the eldest princess in his hands and giving her name on the spot with great joy.

There were even more thoughts flying in my mind, and speculations kept coming.

"good--"

When Zhu Houcong touched the forehead of the third boy born by Li Siyi, his face finally showed some genuine smile. He took him from the eunuch's hands into his arms and said with a smile to everyone in the palace. .

"This son is brave and strong. In the future, he can control the royal family, protect the common people, secure the country, and defend the central government."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar inside and outside the palace.
