Chapter 172 Preparing for pregnancy and childbirth
Yan Baoshou arrived in Jiangling three days before the New Year's Eve.
He is twenty-seven years old this year. Because his father Yan Rong was convicted and executed, he is not qualified to ascend the throne.
But historically, after his death, Li Shimin granted him the title of Duke of Changping County, because his daughter was Li Shimin's concubine Yan De.

In the concubine system of the Tang Dynasty, the queen was the eldest, followed by the four concubines, namely the noble concubine, the Shu concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the virtuous concubine.
In other words, Concubine Yan De ranked fourth among Li Shimin's harem.
In fact, it was pure luck that Li Shimin was able to marry Empress Changsun. If it weren't for Changsun Cheng's death early, Li Shimin would not be qualified.
He was only the second son, while the eldest son, Sun Cheng, was the real pillar of the country during the Sui Dynasty.
Perhaps because of his identity as the son of a guilty minister, Yan Baoshou behaved very lonely and always gave people the feeling of being troubled.
However, Yang Ming can understand that he was originally a second-generation top official, but his family collapsed all of a sudden. No one can accept such a gap.
"Time is destiny, Baoshou, don't think too much. The Supreme Lord has given Duke Yan many opportunities, but he himself failed to grasp them."
In the hall, Yan Baoshou listened to Yang Ming's guidance and nodded: "Father, it is his own fault and he cannot blame anyone else."
Yang Ming nodded and said: "Shilang Yang said hello to me. You can settle down here with me for the time being. If you have a chance in the future, you can find another place."
Yan Baoshou hurriedly said: "I am very lucky to be taken in by His Highness. Baoshou does not dare to have second thoughts."
With such a good background and his wife's family being so tough, Yan Baoshou will definitely get better in the future. Yang Ming knows this.
At the moment, it's just because Yan Rong has just died and the supreme anger has not subsided, so Yang Xiong can't make many arrangements. After the prince succeeds to the throne, Yang Xiong will definitely make plans for his son-in-law.
And Yang Ming is also willing to have a good relationship with Yang Xiong's group.
After settling in with each other, Yang Ming returned to the inner garden. The New Year was coming soon. This year's New Year's Eve was also Yang Yinjiang's first New Year celebration after becoming the princess.
According to the etiquette system, all servants and maids in the mansion need to be congratulated, because Yang Yinjiang is the mistress of the family, and she alone has the final say in the affairs of the palace.
Since Yang Ming was crowned king, he has never been short of money, especially after marrying Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying, he has no concept of money.
No wonder I was laughed at by the boss and the second when I first set my sights on Jinyang Tower. Yes, with their status, money will come to them in a steady stream. There is no need to make money by buying properties.
The Hedong Prince's Mansion is currently managed by Fang Xuanling alone, but Yang Yinjiang believes that he will personally send someone to check the accounts every quarter.
In her opinion, it was Yang Ming's money. As the concubine, she had to take care of everything for Yang Ming and be aware of it, so that when Yang Ming used the money in the future, she would be in a hurry and not know where to allocate it.
No matter how much money you have, you should use it rationally and in a planned way.
On the night of the New Year's Eve, Yang Guang's letter was also delivered.
The meaning of the letter is very clear. Supreme Yang Jian orally ordered Yang Ming and others to live without any worries.
Yang Yinjiang was so excited that she hurriedly called her concubine and experienced maidservants to start planning how to give birth to a child.
As Yang Ming is the king of the county, his child must be of the royal family, so it is not as simple as just having one if you want.
There is a set of procedures to follow in order to calculate the days and which days are suitable.
Moreover, when having sex, in addition to Yang Yinjiang, there will be several maids assisting her. Their task is to ensure that the royal essence reaches the place where they should go smoothly.
Finally, the day was set. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the moon was full, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant, making it suitable for giving birth to a child.
Pei Shuying's character is that she doesn't fight. She knows that her child is a bastard, and it doesn't matter whether she fights for the eldest son or not, but she still feels sad in her heart.
Yang Ming knew that, so he had been staying with Pei Shuying these days, and the couple ate and slept together.
Pei Shuying also devoted herself wholeheartedly to cater to Yang Ming and please him.
On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in addition to Yang Yinjiang, there were six women in Yang Ming's dormitory, all of whom came to help.
After struggling all night, Yang Ming left exhausted.
He has to do this in the next few days. He has no choice but to work harder for the sake of his heirs.
Four days later, the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought the emperor Yang Jian's decree. Yang Ming was transferred back to Beijing, took over as the right-leading general, and settled in Menxia Province, becoming one of the Nayans.
The general who leads the army on the right may not be qualified to participate in the court meeting, but his subordinate Nayan must be.
In other words, starting from today, Yang Ming can attend the court meeting.
"Congratulations, husband, you have finally entered the center." Yang Yinjiang knew very well what Yang Ming's transfer meant.
As a member of the royal family, entering the center of the court must be of great use. Although she did not understand why the Supreme made this arrangement for a while, it was definitely a good thing.
Yang Ming himself did not expect that the day when he would leave Jingzhou would come so early.
After returning to Beijing this time, I am afraid that I will rarely have the opportunity to come to Jingzhou again.
Of course, he is also very happy with this arrangement, because after entering the center, he can control the Jingzhou area. Even if a new Jingzhou manager takes office in the future, his base will not be affected.
Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying were originally natives of Guanzhong. Although they followed their husbands when they married and followed Yang Ming to Jingzhou, they still hoped to live in Daxing.
So the day after receiving the imperial edict, Yang Yinjiang began to pack her bags.
After hearing the news, the general manager of the front office, Yuan Wendu and others were also sincerely happy.
They are Yang Ming's subordinate officials, which means they are already tied to Yang Ming's boat. It is a good thing for them that Yang Ming is moving up.
When a county prince enters the center, he must be reused. Although the biggest problem for Yang Ming is Nayan, his subordinate, he has a transcendent status as the crown prince's legitimate son. Therefore, after entering the center, he must be a very important and powerful boss, basically equivalent to a
Ministry of Finance.
"I will return to the capital this time to take a look at the situation. You will stay for now. If a new general manager takes over, I will find a way to transfer you back to Daxing," Yang Ming sat on the main seat and smiled at everyone.
Du Ruhui stood up and clasped his hands: "But it depends on His Highness's arrangement."
Yang Ming was really not in a position to take them all away at the moment, because the subordinate officers of the Hedong Prince's Palace and the subordinate officers of the Prince's Palace were two different concepts.
It's not easy for him to arrange these people now, but it will be much easier when he becomes a prince.
The establishment of the Prince's Mansion is similar to that of the General Manager's Mansion, and these people can be moved to the Prince's Mansion to assume various positions.
"Someone still has to take care of things in Jingzhou, but you can also slowly enter the finishing stage," Yang Ming said: "As late as one year, as short as half a year, I will take you away. Before that, you have to settle down first.
alright."
In the lobby, cheers and laughter instantly rang out.
Most of the people here are from Guanzhong. No one wants to stay in a place like Jingzhou all the time. Daxing City has everything it wants. Isn't it delicious?
Pang Niu couldn't wait to go back. His friendship in the capital had not been nourished for a long time.
And Yang Ming will take him with him when he returns to Beijing this time, because there is no use for this kid staying in Jingzhou.
Yang Yinjiang sent people back to Daxing first to pack up the house where Pei Shuying was married. This time they went back, they would definitely not be able to live in the Jin Palace anymore, they had to have their own place to live.
Fortunately, the house where Pei Shuying was married was large enough. Although it was far inferior to the Jin Palace, it was enough to accommodate the current household servants.
The only one who was unhappy because Yang Ming left was Murong Sanzang.
This time Yang Ming was able to get him back from the officials, but what about next time? Who else can save him?
There has been no news from the Wei family in the capital, and it is still unknown whether they can deal with the officials.
So on this day, he hurriedly came to the General Manager's Mansion to meet Yang Ming.
"The official department is still holding on to my subordinates. Now that His Highness is gone, I might suffer another hardship." Murong Sanzang had been crying since he came in.
It was a matter of wealth and life, and he didn't care whether Yang Ming was already impatient with him.
Yang Ming asked: "Is there any news from Wei Shangshu?"
"No, there has been no news since the last letter, telling me that I can rest assured," Murong Sanzang cried, "but afterwards the Ministry of Officials still forcibly sent people to take me away from Jiangling. How can I know where the minister is?"
, and it’s useless.”
Yang Ming nodded and said: "After I return to Beijing, I will say hello to the officials."
What he said was so ambiguous that it was almost as if he had not said it at all. Murong Sanzang was also frightened when he heard it.
In fact, from Yang Ming's point of view, Murong Sanzang didn't have much to do with him, so there was no need to make great efforts to protect him.
The reason why Liu Shu targeted the other party now seems more like a dispute of spirits, as if Liu Shu couldn't even defeat Murong Sanzang, it would be a very shameless thing.
The best thing for Yang Ming to do is actually to ignore it, but now that he has been set up by Liu Shu, he can't swallow it.
But he still couldn't show that he would definitely get things done for Murong Sanzang.
Favor is not something I can just give you casually. You have to fight for it yourself.
Murong Sanzang, who had also been in the world for a long time, took out a piece of origami paper from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Ming with both hands.
Yang Ming opened it and found a list with a lot of money, 60,000 yuan, including some gold, silver and jade articles.
"Bring me a bribe?" Yang Ming threw the paper on the ground and sneered, "This is what I want from you?"
"No, no, no," Murong Sanzang said with a bitter face, "His Highness returns to Beijing this time, and all the greetings must be taken into consideration. How can I bear to let His Highness spend money? I hope that His Highness will accept this.
It’s up to His Highness to protect my life.”
After saying that, he stood up and knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming said calmly: "If you take your things back, I will not accept them. As for your matter, if I can help you, I will naturally help you. I have saved you twice, and I will probably save you one more time."
Murong Sanzang knew in his heart that Yang Ming was reminding him to be grateful, so he hurriedly said:
"From now on, your Majesty, Your Highness will be the one to follow your lead."
