"Mom, don't worry, I have a feeling that my brother's first child is a boy."

Zhu Yili replied like this, but thought in his heart: If possible, it would be better to become a girl.

"Why do you have such a premonition?" It can be seen that Empress Dowager Li really hopes it is a boy.

Alas, it’s no wonder that it was a feudal society where men were superior to women. Four hundred years later, the idea of ​​favoring boys over women could not be completely eliminated.

In addition, his son is the emperor again, so of course he hopes to have a grandson to inherit the throne.

"Mom, I just feel this way."

Zhu Yiliu can only answer this way. He can't say that he knows the future history, right?

The key is to say it out if someone believes it, it’s okay not to cause trouble for him.

Queen Mother Li couldn't hide her excitement: "It's a boy, that's fine."

Although in Zhu Yili's view, the birth of the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Changluo was not a sufficient and necessary condition for the dispute over the foundation of the country.

But in order to avoid the tragedy, Zhu Yiliu felt that he should still take the seedlings in advance.

So, he said tentatively: "Mom, it's a pity that it was not born by the queen, otherwise would he be made the crown prince?"

This question has been mentioned once before, but I just said it casually at that time.

really.

Empress Dowager Li was very serious this time: "You can be made the crown prince if you were not born by the queen! Your brother was not born by the queen at the beginning."

"But what if the emperor's brother disagrees?" Zhu Yili asked.

"Why did he disagree?"

"Well, for example: the emperor's brother actually doesn't like that palace maid. For example: the emperor's brother will give birth to a prince when he meets a concubine he likes more."

"If you have a legitimate, you will be a legitimate, but if you have a legitimate, you will be a eldest. This is the rule of the royal family."

Zhu Yijun deeply disagreed: "But aren't rules determined by people? The key is that it depends on the emperor's brother, oh, the most important thing is that it depends on the mother."

In history, Empress Dowager Li did support the establishment of Zhu Changluo as the crown prince.

But what Zhu Yili couldn't understand was that since Empress Dowager Li's support, coupled with the ministers and Empress Wang in the court, and Emperor Wanli was weak in nature, why could not resist his joint efforts with Concubine Zheng for fifteen years?

There may be only one explanation, that is, Emperor Wanli loves Concubine Zheng too much.

...

The mother and son returned to Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Li did not call someone to ask the palace queen Wang Shurong directly, but instead ran over to observe herself.

Sure enough, I found that Wang Shurong was hiding in the corner and vomiting, and found that her body shape had changed a little... I didn't think it wasn't known before, but now I have said it thoroughly. With the sensitivity of a woman, it is obvious that it was a pregnancy reaction.

Queen Mother Li was afraid of scaring Wang Shurong and shouted softly: "Rong'er."

"Empress..." Despite this, Wang Shurong was still shocked.

Her heart was as chaotic as the gods thoughts were lightning. Didn’t the Empress attend the Aoshan Lantern Festival tonight? Why did she suddenly come back at this time? Could it be...

"Rong'er, follow me." Empress Dowager Li said calmly.

Wang Shurong was so scared that she almost jumped out of her heart.

...

Zhu Yiliu did not get involved.

He was waiting quietly in the warm room alone.

But in fact, this matter has nothing to do with him. He just wants to see the poor Concubine Wang Gong in history to see if he can provide her with some useful help.

Concubine Wang Gong is really pitiful!

He did not agree with Mingyue's comments back then. Mingyue's comments back then said:

"She (Concubine Wang Gong) is not lonely and has no resentment, because she saw her son, a son who has grown up."

"It doesn't matter whether it's the queen mother who has left her name in history or the unknown palace maid. What's important is that as a mother, she saw her son before her death and finally became a safe person after all difficulties."

"So, at the last moment of her life, she pulled the corner of her son's clothes and said with a smile: "Son, how can I die if I grow up like this!"

Just ask, how could she be happy?

How could she not be lonely? She has been struggling for thirty years without seeing the light of day!

How could she have no resentment? Otherwise, she wouldn't have cried and died of grief and anger?

She was just too weak to be able to fight her miserable fate as a woman.

Don’t she want to see her son every day?

Didn’t she want her son to be favored by Emperor Wanli like Concubine Zheng’s son?

At the last moment of her life, why didn’t she say with a smile but cried?

Crying should be the expression of her true feelings, and laughing, including the saying "Why do I hate death?" is just to comfort her son.

Happy?

Hehe, it doesn’t exist... Mingyue took it for granted back then (worrying that she would be scolded).

She suffered from torture and neglect in the palace. Although her son had long been named the crown prince when she died, Emperor Wanli and Concubine Zheng were still alive.

Didn’t she know that Emperor Wanli was forced to do so? Did she have no premonition that her son’s situation is still very dangerous?

The facts proved to be this: it is very dangerous.

Her son died inexplicably less than a month after becoming emperor!

How happy it makes her?

If you say happiness, it is also a great mother who shows her son before her death, and put her most beautiful and optimistic side in front of her. That's all!

...

Waiting for a woman is indeed a tragic thing.

It turns out that all worlds are the same.

Zhu Yiliu waited for an hour, two full hours!

Empress Dowager Li brought Wang Shurong out.

Empress Dowager Li was as happy as he imagined, and Wang Shurong was as panicked as he imagined. After all, she would have to pass the level of Emperor Wanli next.

Wang Shurong looks a bit pretty, and Brother Wanli has a good vision.

But Wang Shurong didn't dare to raise her head, she was very shy and shy. She looked like she was not a scheming woman and was destined to be unable to fight Concubine Zheng (although I haven't seen her yet, she felt very powerful).

Empress Dowager Li ordered: "Eunuch Fu, oh, forget it, let's go there, let's get to the end of your brother's Lantern Festival. No matter how late it is, you have to come to Cining Palace."

"I understand, mom." Zhu Yiliu led Fu Dahai to the Meridian Gate again.

Tonight, the lights are as bright as daylight, so don't worry about safety.

Although Emperor Wanli was still enjoying the lanterns, his heart was no longer here.

Seeing Zhu Yiliu leaving and returning, he immediately came up and asked, "Brother Emperor, how about it?"

"Everything went well!" Zhu Yili blinked, "Mom is happy."

"That's good." Emperor Wanli breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom asked the emperor to wait for the lantern festival to end. No matter how late it is, he would have to go back to Cining Palace."

Emperor Wanli agreed and nodded absent-mindedly.

Seeing that Queen Wang had returned to the palace, Zhu Yiliu said, "Brother, please ask you a question."

"What?"

"Does Wang Shurong have that in your heart?"

Emperor Wanli was stunned and his face darkened: "What do children know?"

Zhu Yili smiled and said, "Oh, I know, the emperor doesn't like her, right?"

As he was talking, he saw Zhou Zuo running over hurriedly and whispering: "Long live, the eunuch from Kunning Palace came to pass the message, saying that the Empress was furious, there, there..."

"In what?"

"Beating the man."

Emperor Wanli waved his hand: "Follow her. Don't be proud of it."

Zhu Yili wondered, it was wrong! Empress Wang is quite famous for being kind and filial, and her posthumous title is also "Empress Xiaoduanxian". She is jealous and jealous, so why do she even beat people?
