His Royal Highness Taisun gave birth to a princess.

The news immediately spread throughout the capital and was published in the Di Di newspaper.

For such a major event, the first thing that is indispensable is the million-dollar subsidy for goods under the name of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

There will be one million treasure banknotes that will be used for this event, all kinds of daily necessities, daily necessities, basically anything that can be sold, almost all at the highest discount.

If you buy it, you will earn it.

Even those who have already prepared New Year’s stock at home still choose to go out for a shopping spree at this time.

Especially rice.

Normally, the price of rice is only half a Guan Duobao note, but now it is almost directly discounted by half, and you can buy it with only half a Guan Duobao note.

Of course, these special supplies, especially rations, are generally subject to purchase restrictions.

No one in the capital dared to think about this idea. According to the current laws of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who hoards strategic materials such as grain will seriously trigger the laws of the Ming Dynasty, starting with ten years of hard labor, and must be punished according to illegal income.

Penalty multiple times greater.

This cannot scare anyone, after all, there are many illegal activities.

According to current practice, whistleblowers can receive a reward of 10% to 30% of illegal gains, just like those who hoard illegal goods.

It will be capped at Qianguan Baobao according to the total number of goods.

A thousand gold coins.

In today's Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as a huge fortune.

One acre of fertile land is equivalent to ten thousand acres, and one thousand acres is equivalent to one hundred acres of fertile land, which is enough for a family to have enough food and clothing.

Needless to say, when this law appeared, whistleblowers gathered in droves.

A large number of servants could not bear the temptation of money and chose to report.

The government has been busy for a while, but for the capital and the surrounding areas, it can be said that everything is clear and clear.

In Kunning Palace, Zhu Ying accompanied Ye Yueqing.

At this moment, Ye Yueqing's face was pale and her lips were dry. It was obvious that giving birth to a child was also a great loss to her vitality.

In today's Ming Dynasty, giving birth to a child is a life and death test for women.

Although there are doctors in the royal family who can perform caesarean sections, under today's conditions, caesarean section is also a great pain for women.

Fortunately, it was in the palace. Even the noble ministers would not be able to find a doctor who could perform a caesarean section if they were not in the capital.

The imperial hospital was cleaned up several times by Zhu Yuanzhang, but no matter what happened or how angry he was, an imperial doctor who knew how to perform a caesarean section would definitely be spared. This was better than a gold medal to avoid death.

Among Zhu Yuanzhang's more than thirty children, many had difficult births, but with the exquisite medical skills of the imperial doctors at the imperial hospital, most of the lives of adults and children could be saved.

Even with a few exceptions, the child can be saved.

"Master, you won't blame me."

Ye Yueqing, who looked a little lonely, said weakly to Zhu Ying beside the bed.

After having a child, Zhu Ying became a true man, and Ye Yueqing also changed his nickname from "His Royal Highness" to "Ye" in terms of endearment.

The blame was because Ye Yueqing gave birth to a princess, not a boy.

If it's a boy, then the Ming Dynasty's heir will be decided.

But now that she is a girl, she has undergone many changes.

Especially for the members of the forces currently under Zhu Ying's command.

Even if His Royal Highness is young, no one can say for sure whether he will take sides.

If the concubine never gives birth to a boy, then the position of the future heir to the Ming Dynasty will change.

His Royal Highness Taisun does not have many concubines now. Apart from Ye Yueqing, the only official concubines are Princess Chen Muyue of Annan, Princess Zhao Xiangxi of Goryeo, and Princess Xiangzi of Japan.

It is obviously difficult for the sons of these three foreign women to be qualified to inherit the Ming Dynasty.

Then the matter of choosing a concubine is the key point.

If a noble family's daughter is selected as a concubine and then gives birth to a fat boy to His Highness, and if the Concubine never gives birth to a boy, then she will reach the sky in one step.

It sounds a bit fanciful. After all, Zhu Ying and Ye Yueqing can have children all the time, let alone more than four. It is probably no problem to have four or five children.

But when it comes to childbirth, it is quite common for some to give birth to eight or nine girls in a row.

As long as one of these things wins the bet, the entire family can be said to be relatives of the emperor.

Facing Ye Yueqing's slightly nervous inquiry, Zhu Ying smiled and comforted: "How can I blame you? This is my first child, so it doesn't have much to do with it."

"I believe that we can definitely give birth to a boy. If we can't give birth to two, then we can have three. If we can't give birth to three, then we can have four. Even if we have seventy or eighty, we still might not be able to give birth."

This may sound a little strange to future generations, but in a place like the royal family, it can be said to be an extremely good promise.

This also means that Zhu Ying will always favor Ye Yueqing.

After all, as a grandson, especially at this age of twenty, with a strong body, there will eventually be a large number of courtiers trying their best to seduce the concubine.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang would make arrangements to find a concubine for his eldest grandson.

After hearing Zhu Ying's promise, Ye Yueqing gently closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.

She is still very weak now and needs a lot of sleep.

Zhu Ying held Ye Yueqing's hand firmly until he fell asleep completely, then gently let go and put his hand under the quilt.

After walking out of the room, he came to the lobby and told Guo Zhong: "It's been freezing recently, and Yue Qing has just given birth. During the confinement period, her body was relatively weak and she couldn't bear any wind and cold."

"I have been given an order to keep out the cold in the house where the concubine is staying, especially when the door is opened and closed, to prevent cold wind from taking the opportunity to enter."

"Multiple doors cannot be opened at the same time. Only one door can be opened at a time. Only after the outer door is closed and the cold wind is gone, can you enter the inner room."

"Also, among all the people serving the Concubine, if anyone is infected with the cold, they will be temporarily transferred away from the Concubine."

"All palace maids and eunuchs related to the concubine must wear scarves in strict accordance with the requirements."

"At the door of the lobby, set up a large vat for me and fill it with boiling water. Everyone's towels must be scalded with boiling water before they can be used again the next day."

"Set up a small vat in the back hall and prepare boiling water at any time. All the water that the concubine drinks must be boiled, and we must ensure that the concubine has hot water for twelve hours."

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Ying explained again: "Even grandpa will do what I said."

After hearing this, Guo Zhong hurriedly replied: "I follow the order of Grand Sun Yat-sen."

To work as an errand in the palace, you must first have a good memory.

Guo Zhong quickly took all the requests from His Highness the Grand Sun into his heart.

Winter is the most common season for wind-chill infections, especially those that are highly contagious. A seemingly ordinary wind-chill may kill someone in these days.

Prince Zhu Biao passed away because of this.

Naturally, it was not only the infection with wind and cold, but mainly Zhu Biao's physical weakness, coupled with the wind and cold, which led to the onset of many diseases, useless medicine and stone, and death.

"Guo Zhong, I know that you have a good memory, but I just said a lot. There must be something wrong with this matter. If you don't remember it, don't speculate with me, just ask me directly."

"But I understand what I mean."

Zhu Ying explained to Guo Zhong.

Many people are like this. They forget a little of what they were told by their superiors, but they dare not ask again for fear of being punished, which leads to even bigger mistakes.

"Old slave, I understand. Please rest assured, Master Taisun." Guo Zhong felt a little warm in his heart after hearing this.

Who can understand the hardship of being an errand boy in the palace?

Things like what His Highness the Grand Sun just said is a huge test for most eunuchs.

First of all, in terms of accent, there are often some unintelligible words.

For example, in Zhu Yuanzhang's previous meeting of Huaixi fellows, the Huaixi dialect was spoken at the court. Some ministers from other regions could not even understand it. After going to court, they could only ask others.

For the vast Ming Dynasty, there is a saying that there are ten different pronunciations. In this regard, there are a lot of mistakes.

And if people are asked questions all the time, they will naturally become irritable.

Guo Zhong was naturally deeply moved that His Highness Taisun could understand the suffering of eunuchs like them.

The boiling heat is rising in Kunning Palace and Qianqing Palace.

According to Zhu Ying's instructions, Zhu Yuanzhang must take a medicated foot bath every night before going to bed.

"Liu He, you said that our eldest grandson has started bossing me around even before he became emperor."

"If we give up our seat to him first, wouldn't everything be clearly arranged for us?"

"If this doesn't go his way, he'll be unhappy with us."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and joked with Liu He about the warmth on his feet and the steaming mist caused by boiling water outside the window.

But when Liu He heard these words, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue. He was so frightened that Liu He immediately fell to his knees and said nothing, so he could only keep silent and kowtow.

Matters related to inheritance are a big deal at any time.

Who can tell if His Majesty is joking or if he is referring to something else.
