Chapter 433 I Can't Spoil Him
Concubine Liu never thought of using the eldest princess to do anything evil.
She just didn't want Shen Zhinian to be wary of her at this time.
Yun'er's attitude towards Concubine Xian remained the same as before, so Concubine Xian didn't think too much about it.
……
Ruoli accompanied Concubine Liang back to Changchun Palace, her face full of unhappiness.
Concubine Liang looked at her, sighed and asked, "What's wrong with you? Your mouth is pouting so much that you can hang an oil pot on it. Who made you unhappy again?"
Ruoli snorted, "My lady, I just feel sorry for you! You have served His Majesty since you were in the palace, and you gave birth to His Majesty's eldest prince, but the virtuous concubine who has been in the palace for less than a year has taken the position of the head of the four concubines. Who can accept this if this is made public?!"
"Do you have to be polite to her when you see her in the future? I feel so aggrieved just thinking about it!"
Everyone felt that the person who felt the most uncomfortable about Shen Zhinian being canonized as the virtuous concubine must be the good concubine.
After all, she had a lot of experience, had given birth to the eldest prince, and had great power in the six palaces. But she was suppressed by the young Concubine Xian. How could she not have any complaints?
However, even at this moment, Concubine Liang still had a calm expression on her face: "How many times have I told you that the most important thing in the harem is to keep calm."
"The virtuous concubine has temporarily suppressed me, but a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."
"She is only one step away from becoming a noble concubine. With your majesty's love for Consort Xian, it is only a matter of time before she is promoted to a noble concubine. Do you think the one in Yongshou Palace is more anxious than me?"
"Besides... Concubine De will not live long, and she will definitely give up everything to plan for the Third Prince. How can you tolerate the appearance of a Fourth Prince in the palace, and the Fourth Prince is more valued by Your Majesty than the Third Prince?"
"Just do good things and don't worry about the future. We just need to worship Buddha carefully in Changchun Palace, and the Buddha will take care of the rest."
Ruoli understood, and the annoyance in her heart was swept away. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty is really smart! Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, so that we can reap the benefits!"
"By then, all the concubines in the harem will be fighting each other, and His Majesty will be very annoyed watching. You are the most virtuous concubine who does not fight or compete and treats others kindly. Who else can be the queen but you?"
Concubine Liang said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."
……
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Everyone already knows that Concubine Xian gave birth to the fourth prince for His Majesty last night.
In the court, no matter what the civil and military officials were thinking, they all had festive expressions on their faces and spoke words of congratulations.
Especially Shen Maoxue, who remained calm on the surface but was actually very happy in his heart.
Haha! Great! It's really great!
Unexpectedly, Concubine Xian’s belly was so strong that she gave birth to a healthy little prince!
When the little prince grows up, he will be a prince at least. The Shen family is the prince's maternal family, and they are going to change their status completely!
Who would have thought that he, who was just a sixth-rank minor official, could have such good fortune today!
Who says having a daughter is useless? Having a daughter is really useful!
Gu Jinxiao’s figure is like a green pine, his face is elegant and his eyes are as calm as a still pond.
Only someone who was extremely familiar with him could tell that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Childbirth for women is usually dangerous, so it’s good that old mountain ginseng is not used.
Seeing His Majesty's impatient look, Li Changde did not dare to laugh, and waved his whisk and said: "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court——"
There was silence in the court for only a moment, then Nangong Xuanyu stood up and strode towards the back.
Li Changde quickly announced the adjournment of the court and followed hurriedly.
Your Majesty is eager to meet the virtuous concubine and can't wait even a moment!
Zhongcui Palace.
Seeing the bright yellow corner of the clothes, everyone was a little surprised.
Your Majesty, you just came out of court and haven't even changed out of your court robes, yet you rush here in such a hurry?
After they realized what was happening, they quickly knelt down and saluted: "Your servants/servants pay their respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
Nangong Xuanyu walked in without looking around, went straight to the bedside, lifted the curtain, and saw Shen Zhinian's plump and pale face.
His brows furrowed, with a hint of worry in his deep eyes: "The virtuous concubine hasn't woken up yet?"
Nanny Lin's eyes were filled with heartache, and she said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that the queen is fine, just too tired, just let the queen wake up naturally."
Nangong Xuanyu then gently rubbed Shen Zhinian's cheek with his fingertips, slowly lowered the bed curtain, and walked out.
Everyone crouched down and tiptoed out, leaving only Fuqiu guarding the bed.
"Where is the fourth prince?"
"The wet nurse just took him down to feed him. I will have someone bring the Fourth Prince over right away."
A gentleman would embrace his grandchildren instead of his sons. But the Fourth Prince was the one he had been looking forward to every day. He had also told Nian Nian that if this child was a prince, he would personally raise him. What's wrong with just hugging him?
The emperor immediately reached out and carefully took the fourth prince.
This move surprised not only the wet nurses but also Li Changde.
His Majesty has never held the eldest prince, the second prince, or the third prince who was born half a year ago.
Men usually don't hug their sons, they only hug their grandsons. Your Majesty actually hugged the Fourth Prince as soon as he saw him?
But when he thought that the Fourth Prince was born to Concubine Xian, Li Changde felt it was normal again.
The emperor who was cold, resolute, dignified and decisive in killing people...for the first time in his life, he felt helpless.
Why is the fourth prince so small and soft?
Where should he put his hands?
If I don't use enough strength, will I drop him? If I use too much strength, I'm afraid I'll hurt him...
Of course, Nangong Xuanyu also had to save his face. It was impossible for him to say in front of so many people that he, as an emperor, didn't even know how to hold a baby.
The expression on his face did not change. He maintained the same posture and handed the fourth prince back to the wet nurse: "...I can't spoil him."
People in the world prefer grandchildren to sons, so it is normal that after His Majesty came to his senses, he did not favor the Fourth Prince in this regard.
The nurse carefully took him over and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is very well behaved. From birth till now, he goes to sleep after drinking milk without crying or making a fuss."
Nangong Xuanyu sighed in his heart.
She's just a little ugly, and hasn't inherited his and Nian Nian's looks at all.
However, this is not the first time that Nangong Xuanyu has been a father. He knows that newborn babies are all wrinkled like this, and they will be fine when they grow up.
The emperor stayed here until the afternoon before Shen Zhinian slowly woke up.
She only felt that she had slept for a long and deep time. When she opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her, she was in a trance for a moment...
Nangong Xuanyu said in a gentle voice: "Nian Nian, are you awake?"
"Someone, serve the meal!"
The small kitchen was always prepared with meals for the confinement period, just waiting for the queen to wake up.
Yuanbao went to make arrangements immediately.
Shen Zhinian's thoughts gradually came back to her senses, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Your Majesty, where is our child? Is he healthy?"
