2, Zhaoyang
When Ji Ziqing entered Fengyi Palace, he had already asked the Queen Mother and the Fifth Prince what they were doing. Madam Qiuyu, who was waiting outside the hall, had told him that the Queen Mother was having a meal and the Fifth Prince was having a fresh little princess. Therefore, after Ji Ziqing entered the hall, he did not disturb his mother's meal, but only made fun of his brothers.
At this moment, hearing his mother's voice, Ji Ziqing hugged his cute little brother Yuanbao, strode through the floor-to-ceiling round cover hanging in the gauze, and entered the inner room to visit his mother, and smiled back to his mother: "What's the mother's idea?"
Bypassing the two rows of Duobao Pavilions and lifting another pearl curtain tent, Ji Ziqing only then did he truly meet his mother.
Empress Dowager Hui'an is a very beautiful woman. Even though she is thirty-three years old, she is still as beautiful as an orchid in the empty valley. At this time, she is leaning against the couch, with a large welcome pillow with a rich flower blooming flower behind her, and a thin quilt of bright yellow satin on her body. Madam Biyun, who is standing beside her, was carefully putting her cups to eat.
Seeing the eldest son coming in with his younger son in, Empress Dowager Hui'an smiled gently on her face: "What the emperor said is reasonable, can the Ai family not follow your wishes?" This is to agree to her daughter's nickname Fanfan.
"Does the queen feel better?" Ji Ziqing sat down next to the bed with her younger brother in her arms and asked in a concerned tone.
Empress Dowager Hui'an's face was a little pale, but she was very energetic: "It's much better. Your sister is more delicate than you two. The Ai family has not suffered much."
Ji Ziqing was a little embarrassed: "Is that right..." Did he be very tedious when he was born? When he was in a state of embarrassment and meditating, Ji Ziheng, who was sitting in his arms, spoke childishly, "My mother, have you eaten enough? Eat more, my brother said, eating more will make you stronger."
Empress Dowager Hui'an was so funny that she covered her lips and chuckled at Ji Ziheng, then waved to Ji Ziheng, and said warmly: "Heng'er, come here, my mother hug you." When she was pregnant with her little daughter, her youngest son was only over two years old. Because he was weak and sick, she hugged him and went to bed every day. Later, her belly became bulging, so it was difficult to hold her younger son again. The younger son was very sensible and never cried and made noise.
Ji Ziqing lowered his head and told Ji Ziheng warmly: "Yinbao, the mother has just given birth to a younger sister, and she is still weak. Please let the mother hug you, don't roll around naughtyly, it will hurt your mother, do you know?" After Ji Ziheng flashed his big eyes and agreed with a serious expression, Ji Ziqing then gave her long arms and put her younger brother next to her mother.
Empress Dowager Hui'an lovingly hugged his young son and gently stroked his warm little head. When he touched his thin little face, Empress Dowager Hui'an's gentle smile gradually faded, and suddenly shed tears.
Madam Biyun, who was standing beside her, saw that the empress dowager was crying, and knew that she had remembered the old things again. She hurriedly held up a soft handkerchief and wiped away the tears for Empress Dowager Hui'an. She whispered in her mouth: "Empress, you are still in the confinement period, so you can't cry..."
Ji Ziqing's originally slightly soft face suddenly condensed. Ji Ziheng's face was beautiful and looked like Empress Dowager Hui'an, while Ji Ziqing's facial features were deep and clear lines, and looked even more like the late emperor who had passed away.
"My mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Ji Ziheng raised his little head and asked carefully, "Is it me... that hurts Mother?"
Empress Dowager Hui'an held back her tears and shook her head gently: "No, it's a little thing flying into the eyes of the mother."
Ji Ziheng nodded seriously, with an expression that I understood: "Oh, Mother, this is Sha Zi's eyes squinting. My brother taught me that I just need to blow it. I'll blow it to Mother."
Empress Dowager Hui'an smiled and replied: "Okay."
When the youngest son bulged his cheeks and blew his eyes seriously, Empress Dowager Hui'an kissed his little face and said softly: "Heng'er, the little sister will fan from now on. You are the brother, you should love your sister and like your sister, just like your elder brother likes you, do you know?"
Ji Ziheng scratched his forehead and spread his child's mind: "Mother, my brother likes to feed me the most, so I will feed my sister in the future."
Empress Dowager Hui'an smiled and said, "Okay, my sister is still young now and can only drink milk. When she grows up, Heng'er will also feed her sister to dinner."
Ji Ziheng jumped up and smiled: "Brother also likes to hold me and play, and I also want to hold my sister to play."
Empress Dowager Hui'an chuckled and nodded: "Then Heng'er must grow up quickly. You will be able to hug your sister when you grow up."
Ji Ziheng solemnly agreed: "Well, I will definitely eat more and grow up early."
When Empress Dowager Hui'an and Ji Ziheng were talking, Ji Ziqing sat quietly beside him, enjoying this rare and comfortable warm meridian time. After a while, Ji Ziheng was coaxed by Empress Dowager Hui'an to see the beautiful little sister. Ji Ziqing then spoke, pursing her thin lips and said, "It is a happy event for the birth of the emperor. However, it is still during the national mourning period of his father, so it is not easy to celebrate..."
"This is what it should be. All the families of officials with titles and officials are prohibited from having banquets and getting married. Can our royal family still slap themselves?" Empress Dowager Hui'an leaned on the pillow and said with a gentle expression, "I'll just wait until your sister is one year old next year, and then I will make it back."
Ji Ziqing replied, "I mean that, but the emperor girl was born to you, with a noble status and a father's posthumous daughter. I, as my brother, can't be wronged. I have made a title for the emperor girl and I will be the eldest princess of Zhaoyang?"
After he inherited the throne, he had added a number of princes and eldest princesses to show the grace of the new emperor. Of course, except for Ji Ziheng who was given the title of "Kang", the rest were not given the title. Ji Ziqing added: "You can't make the full moon for the emperor sister, so I will issue an edict to enthrone the emperor sister that day."
Empress Dowager Hui'an thought for a while and nodded: "It's not too far beyond the reach of the title when the full moon is given, it's up to the emperor."
Generally speaking, princesses will only give formal princess titles before they discuss marriage. Of course, there will be exceptions in everything. For example, a princess is favored by the emperor, then she may get the title early when she was young. However, at first, it must be after she reaches one year old, because the royal descendants can only be given the royal jade certificate after they are one year old.
"If someone makes a case for this matter, the emperor..." Empress Dowager Hui'an curled her lips slightly, "You might as well kill the chicken to warn the monkey."
Ji Ziqing's heart was so clear: "I know."
"The emperor's full moon wine and a hundred-day wine are not allowed, but the three rituals of baptism cannot be missed..." Ji Ziqing said slowly without rushing, "I won't go into details about the concubines and concubines in the palace, as well as the royal relatives and royal families in the capital. What do my mother want to invite?"
Empress Dowager Hui'an glanced at the young and steady eldest son and smiled and said, "Of course, which court officials were valued by the emperor in the previous dynasty, and their family members were invited. The empress's father and brother and General Mu were all working on the front line. Dong and Mu families must not be missing. Several old ladies who are assisting in the government will also come and show their faces. Your grandmother is in the palace and will ask your second aunt to come and make up for the number tomorrow..." After a pause, he continued, "Call the female relatives with the imperial decree of the Fujin Hou Mansion into the palace."
Ji Ziqing frowned slightly, his face a little cold: "What is Fu Jinhou Mansion?"
Empress Dowager Hui'an lowered her eyes, leisurely stroked her fingers like water and green onion, and said happily and unrecognizable: "With your father's will, if you are too fast to deal with the Wu family, it will inevitably cause criticism. The turmoil of the court is turtle. Humph, it is interesting to cut the flesh with a slow knife. The emperor has succeeded the throne, and Fu Jinhou Mansion naturally becomes a turtle. We not only do not suppress the Wu family, but also hold them high, so that they are fearless and make them arrogant and domineering, thinking that we dare not do anything to them for the sake of our reputation. The same is true for the Concubine De and the Second Prince..."
"I understand, but I feel unhappy." Ji Ziqing clenched his fists slightly, but his expression was still unpredictable.
Empress Dowager Hui'an gently patted the back of his eldest son's hand and said in a gentle voice: "It's just for the sake of legitimate reason. Not to mention the Wu family, the wife of Duke Zhenguo will enter the palace tomorrow, but the empress will come over? Alas, you should have a big wedding this year, but who knew..." After the late emperor was caught in the cold, he couldn't get up and died directly. She originally thought that even if the old lady Wu died, he and his eldest son still had a long way to go. After all, the late emperor was in full swing, and the little princes under his head grew up one by one, and there might be some variables.
Ji Ziqing pursed her lips and replied, "It's okay to have a year later in the wedding. Tomorrow... don't ask her to enter the palace, so I won't be able to have a good marriage." According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is not advisable to meet men and women who make marriages before getting married.
"Of course my mother knows that Yuli is in a bad relationship, just to make fun of you." Empress Dowager Hui'an said with a smile.
Ji Ziqing glared at him and was slightly annoyed: "Mother Queen!"
"You, speaking of it, are still a child." Empress Dowager Hui'an gently caresses the eldest son's hair and said kindly, "Okay, Mother is fine, Qing'er, don't worry about it anymore, hurry up and have breakfast."
Ji Ziqing stood up and saluted, "The mother has a good rest, so my son will leave first. When I have time, I will come to see you and the emperor sister."
Empress Dowager Hui'an smiled and nodded: "Eat and sleep well, don't be too tired of yourself."
Ji Ziqing responded with a smile, then turned around and left the inner room and came out of the round floor covering. Ji Ziheng was still sticking out his little butt and lying down to look at the beautiful little sister. Ji Ziqing walked to the edge of the couch and touched his little head: "Yinbao, my brother is going to work hard. At noon, you can come to have dinner with your brother."
Ji Ziheng nodded vigorously, revealing two rows of white Xiaomi teeth: "Okay, brother."
Ji Ziqing stroked his younger brother's little head again: "So good."
After stepping out of the Yihua Palace of Fengyi Palace, the gentle smile on Ji Ziqing's face disappeared and he became a young emperor with a deserted look.
