Chapter 425: The First Year of Zhengtong
Half a month later, the emperor made Prince Ping Li Xi the crown prince and Concubine Qu De the imperial concubine.
This is not only the result that King Ping and his party want to see, but also what most courtiers want to see.
The absence of the five-star pearl allowed the emperor to untie his knot and no longer doubt the prince, the King of England, and Concubine Zhao. Although his health was better than before, it was still damaged and his energy was low. Many court affairs were left to the prince to handle.
The ninth day of October is a happy day for Meng Xiu and Zhao Lingxin.
The day before, people came to the Chengguo Palace one after another to add to their beauties. Some had a close relationship with the Meng family, and some had a normal relationship. It was even more lively than the previous wedding of the upright and upright girl from the Meng family.
Huang Cheng's two cousins came to add makeup on behalf of the Huang family, but were rudely turned away by the concierge.
This is Meng Cimo's order.
There are no permanent enemies in politics, but the Huang family, like the Zhao family, is the eternal enemy of the Meng family.
When Jiang Yixi was having trouble getting pregnant, she went to Meng Xiu's boudoir and asked Cuncun and Yin'er to bring makeup on her behalf.
Meng Xiu got married the next day.
People say that the Changsheng Hou Mansion has the foresight to marry the right person. Not only are the Meng family and the Liu family the crown prince's absolute confidants, but Meng Xiu's Shili Hongzhuang is also considered extremely rich in the capital.
After Meng Xiu was picked up, Mrs. Liu cried very sadly.
Jiang Yixi took her two children to the main courtyard to talk to her, and also had dinner here.
The two children had sweet mouths and made "grandma" very happy.
During the trip, Cheng Guogong came back once and saw that the four of them were harmonious like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they didn't pay much attention to him. He knew that he couldn't fit in, so he left dejectedly.
The three mothers played until the beginning of Xushi and then left.
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Look at you, my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a better relationship than those of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Brother and sister, too, regard you as their direct grandmother."
Thinking of the two little people, Mrs. Liu laughed. "Cimo and Cimo's wife are kind."
She once thought that when her daughter got married, her happiness would be gone, and she would be destined to be lonely for the rest of her life. Now it seems that her parents-in-law and step-son and step-daughter-in-law are really good. When the prince succeeds to the throne, her father may go to Beijing to serve, and her life
It would be better.
On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-third year of Jianrong, Emperor Jianrong died.
Meng Cimo had not come out of the palace. Meng Laogong and other important officials were sent to the Taiji Hall by the prince in charge of the government to discuss court affairs.
Officials of the third rank and above and the imperial edicts went to the palace to mourn. Mrs. Meng was old, Jiang Yixi was pregnant, and Prince Enzhun mourned at home.
On the morning of the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Yixi received news that Zheng Tingting started having seizures in the middle of the night.
Mrs. Jiang, the first lady, and the three ladies all went to the palace to cry, but Jiang Xun remained in the palace and did not come out.
Jiang Yixi quickly took a sedan chair to Jiang's house.
It was snowing heavily, the sky was gloomy, and the weather in the morning was like the evening.
Grandma Jiang was guarding the west wing of the backyard, while Zheng Tingting gave birth in the east wing.
Grandma Jiang was very scared. The fetus Zheng was carrying was too big and there were no elders in the family. What would happen if Zheng had an accident.
Hearing that Jiang Yixi was here, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
She came out and said, "The second brother and sister started having seizures at the end of the night. The midwife said that the fetus was too big and it would be difficult to give birth..."
Jiang Yixi came to the window and said, "Tingting, I'm here. I also brought you a can of tonic soup. Drink it to make you stronger."
The Jiang Mansion also prepared ginseng soup. But everyone knew that Jiang was fond of medicated food, so the mother-in-law quickly heated up a bowl of ginseng soup and brought it to the delivery room.
Zheng Tingting said "Yeah", followed by another burst of pain.
Jiang Yixi comforted her for a while and was persuaded to go to the wing to warm herself by the fire.
Jiang Yixi didn't dare to show off, she already felt that her legs and feet were numb from the cold.
Not long after, Zheng Tingting's concubine's sister-in-law, Grandma Zheng, also came.
At night, the baby had not yet been born, so Jiang Yixi and Grandma Zheng lived in Jiang Mansion.
At the end of the next day, a loud cry broke the silence.
The midwife inside shouted, "It's a brother. Congratulations to the second grandma."
Jiang Yixi and others walked out of the wing happily.
The midwife shouted again, "Eight pounds and one tael, mother and child are safe."
Grandma Jiang smiled and said, "God, there are not many children who weigh eight pounds."
After the mother-in-law had packed up Zheng Tingting, Jiang Yixi and others went in.
Zheng Tingting was sweating, and her hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her head.
She looked at the child beside her lovingly and was in good spirits.
The child was wrapped in a red quilt, his face was red and plump, without a trace of wrinkles. His hair was up to his ears, black and shiny. His eyes were open and clear.
Jiang Yixi liked him so much that she blurted out, "What a beautiful boy, just like my dad."
Jiang Xun has already chosen a name. If his son is named Jiang Yuan, if his daughter is named Jiang Xue.
Jiang Yixi stretched out her hand to hug her, but Grandma Jiang hugged her first.
She smiled and said, "No matter how much I like it, I can't hug my second aunt. I'll give you a hug, my eldest uncle."
She hugged her for a while, and then Second Grandma Zheng hugged her again and said with a smile, "Let Second Auntie give me a hug."
Jiang Yuan groaned and wanted to cry. The wet nurse came over and took the baby to another room for breastfeeding.
After Zheng Tingting fell asleep, Jiang Yixi stayed beside Jiang Yuan and watched him quietly.
Xiao Jiangyuan fell asleep. He didn't know what he was dreaming about, but a smile popped up at the corner of his mouth.
This child looks very much like Jiang Chen, especially when he purses his lips, a shallow dimple will appear on the lower left corner of his mouth.
Jiang Yixi stretched out her hand and gently touched the nest. When she was a child, she liked to touch Jiang Chen here.
In the evening, the mourners came back.
Except for Mrs. Jiang who was extremely tired and went back to rest, everyone else came to see the children after washing.
Jiang Xunxu returned home at the beginning of his life.
He became the prince's sword-carrying bodyguard. Among the former emperor's close bodyguards, he was the only one left to continue to defend the new emperor.
Jiang Yixi said goodbye when she saw her brother coming back.
The Chinese New Year is also not a happy time during the national filial piety period. You can’t wear red or green, you can’t eat meat, you can’t set off firecrackers...
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Crown Prince Li Xi officially succeeded to the throne and was named Zhengtong.
The empress dowager was named the empress dowager, Qu Guifei was the empress dowager, the crown prince was the empress, and the eldest son Li Gan was the prince.
There are also great rewards for ministers who have served the dragon before.
Qu's uncle Qu Lan was promoted to the Minister of Household Affairs. Liu's father Liu Zongbing continued to defend the east gate of Jinhe Dynasty and was granted the title of Zhendong Marquis. Liu's eldest brother was transferred to the capital to serve as deputy commander of the West Camp. Meng Cimo continued to serve as the Imperial Guards Commander.
At the same time as a general, he also served as the commander of the right guard battalion of the Forbidden Army. Zheng Ji also served as the prince's Taibao...
Duke Cheng Guo was very sad. His son, younger brother, nephew, brother-in-law, and in-laws had all been promoted, but he remained where he was and was not welcomed by the emperor.
Unable to get angry, he was encouraged by his colleagues to go to Jiaofangsi to have some fun. He had just watched a few dances when he heard that Mrs. Liu was coming. He was so frightened that he hurried out and followed Mrs. Liu back to his house.
At the end of February, Li Zhenbao returned to Beijing.
After the death of the emperor, the empress dowager was in grief, so King Yong sent people to Xiqing Mansion to bring Li Zhenbao back.
Li Zhenbao didn't even return to Prince Yong's Mansion, but went directly to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager.
The next day, Jiang Yixi followed the Queen Mother Qu's instructions and took her two children and Huahua to Yongle Palace to visit the Queen Mother.
Queen Mother Qu became more glorious, gentle and peaceful, and even two points plumper.
She hugged Cuncun and Yin'er and gave each of them a kiss. When she saw Huahua's neck stretched out, she picked up Huahua with a smile and kissed him.
The few of them chatted about their family affairs for a while, and then Queen Mother Qu took them to Cining Palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.
Li Zhenbao heard that they were coming and took them out of the hall.
Li Zhenbao has become fatter, darker, and seems to have grown a little taller.
Interesting stories about this great princess spread throughout the Jin Dynasty. She liked to ride horses and always stayed with her husband. She established the largest border trade bazaar in the western border and established a women's school...
"Sister, son, daughter, Huahua..."
She shouted and rushed towards Jiang Yixi.
A black shadow flashed, and Huahua rushed into her arms first.
