Chapter 531 Xiyue ([-])

During the Great Zhou Dynasty, during the 13th year of Kangshun.

The world has been in severe drought for three years, and the people have been displaced for three years. The emperor in the capital is the Qianqing Emperor who has been enthroned for thirteen years. He is in the back garden, looking at the bright sun in the sky, and sighed softly. .

The capital built a grand canal during the reign of the first emperor. Because of the geographical advantage and the relationship between chance and coincidence, the canal in the capital is still flowing now, so that the capital can be kept in order.

However, people in other places outside the capital have been in dire straits. This situation has lasted for three full years. Not to mention that it is rare to see such a disaster in a century, it is afraid that such a disaster may not be seen in a thousand years.

Today's morning court didn't come down until almost noon, but there was still no way out. The border was chaotic, and the people there were already eating grass and choking on the soil. Under such circumstances, they would naturally invade the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty near the border.

There was a memorial to Emperor Qianqing early today, the barbarians have lost their minds, if they don't stop them, it will not be uncommon for cannibalism to happen in the future.

Of course Emperor Qianqing wanted to send troops to suppress it, but he had more energy than he wanted. The food collected in three years was barely enough to be used as military pay, and he could not mobilize soldiers from other regions until the very moment.

The area now submitted can only be resisted by the soldiers guarding there first, and now some people feel that the emperor is not suitable for him, and want to rise up and become king on his own.

The previous dynasty had already made Emperor Qianqing very bored. In this harem, he was only comforted by the fact that his first wife, the queen, was pregnant with Liujia. Now that the queen is about to give birth, the whole palace depends on this little life to add some vitality.

Before Qianqing Emperor could think about anything, a person came running not far away, and that was the eunuch in charge beside the emperor. When he got to the side of Qianqing Emperor, he said calmly, "Your Majesty, the empress is about to give birth soon!" Already!"

Emperor Qianqing's pupils constricted, this happened suddenly, the original delivery date was seven days later, but now the child is about to be born, although the child is full moon, it is really not known whether it is joy or worry.

Emperor Qianqing's face remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice, "Go to the queen's side." After all, he has been emperor for more than ten years, and there is no panic in this situation.

The maids in the Jingde Palace were in a hurry. Although the dragon child in the queen's womb was full-term, it was now seven days earlier than the delivery date stated by the imperial physician. No one could say whether the delivery would be safe or not.

Fortunately, the empress's birth is not the first, and there was a prince and eighth prince before, so I think this birth will be smoother.

The queen's abdomen is swollen high. At this moment, she is dripping from the pain of childbirth, and the black hair sticks to her side face. In line with the queen's bearing and experience in giving birth, so far, she has used all her strength on her lower abdomen and has not shouted out. Voice.

"Empress, try harder, this old slave has already seen Longzi's hair."

After hearing this, the queen took a deep breath and continued to work hard. In the past three years, this child has brought some color to the palace, and she is still her beloved child. No matter what, she must let this child come to the world safely.

Even if I endured it, now that the child was at a critical juncture, the empress still had tears seeping from the corners of her painful eyes, followed by a burst of relief, as if taking a bath in warm water, the empress completely relaxed.

"It's born, it's born!" The midwife who delivered the baby laughed.

The sky outside was originally clear, but it was getting dark during the birth of the child. At the moment of birth, there was thunder and lightning, and the bean-heavy rain poured down. The dripping sound of the rain covered the crying of the child inside the house.

Seeing the heavy rain outside, Emperor Qianqing raised his head and laughed, "Hahahaha! This son is the son of Xiangrui."

The chief eunuch beside the emperor also found it strange when he saw this. As soon as the dragon son in the empress's womb was born, it began to rain during the three-year drought of the Zhou Dynasty.

After the midwife wrapped up the baby, she hurriedly carried it out to Emperor Qianqing. When the Emperor saw the baby in swaddling clothes, he reached out to take it and hold it for himself.

After the midwife delivered the child, she said in a high voice, "My Majesty, the Empress gave birth to a little princess."

After talking about the happy event, I noticed the movement outside the house, and when I looked outside, it was actually pouring rain, and I was even more surprised inside.

Emperor Qianqing looked at the newborn little princess lovingly, and now the child stopped crying and seemed to be asleep quietly, "Good boy."

At this point, this nine princesses with extraordinary destiny came to the world. Emperor Qianqing named her Luyue, and after she was born on the full moon, she was named Princess Huguo Xiyue, which can be described as the most honorable favor.

No one in the capital knows that Princess Xiyue grew up in a honey pot. She is the first princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and her mother's family is the powerful Song family. Great honor.

The founding emperor also said with a smile that he and the Song family might still be a family a hundred years ago.

The status of His Highness the Crown Prince is stable now, and if he is registered as the emperor in the future, he really cannot find a noble princess who can match the status of Princess Xiyue.

After the harem, other princes and princesses were born, but none of them could compare to the status of the crown prince and Princess Xiyue in the emperor's heart.

Therefore, no one dared to offend Princess Xiyue, but the princess was not arrogant and domineering, on the contrary she was very independent. When other princesses were learning poetry and book etiquette, she liked to read books in Emperor Qianqing's study all day long.

The books she read are all kinds, and there are all kinds of books, but she is most interested in books about medical skills. For this reason, she also worshiped Wan Zishi, a famous doctor in the Central Plains, as her teacher.

Emperor Qianqing often sighed that Princess Xiyue is not a male, otherwise she can do more for the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Princess Xiyue doesn't think so. For her, even if she is a daughter, she can also serve her father. Dynasty does its part.

Now the 13-year-old princess looks like a budding allure, but there is one thing that makes her mother dissatisfied, that is, Princess Xiyue is too tall, taller than a man of the same age.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was five years older than her, was only a head taller when he stood with his younger sister. If two years passed, it was unknown whether the two would be as tall as her.

In the imperial garden, a group of eunuchs and maids followed the girl in the light green skirt with small steps. The hairpins on the bun swayed accordingly, reflecting the girl's fair and pink chin.

Not long after the girl left, there were two women in complicated and luxurious dresses in front of her, who could be seen to be of noble status.

The two women stopped when they met the girl, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiyue, are you going to the mother's harem?"

These two are the Eldest Princess and the Fourth Princess, and they are both married as wives now. They are going to see their mother and concubine, Concubine Shu and Concubine Lan in the palace at this time.

"Well, the two sisters should also go to see Concubine Shu and Concubine Lan."

"My fourth younger sister and I happened to get together today, so I wanted to come to the palace to have a look. Younger sister Xiyue is more and more beautiful now, I don't know what kind of young man I will promise to be in the future."

It's not that they were never jealous of this little sister Xiyue, but she was so favored, and as she got older, she became better and better, and that jealousy was slowly worn away over the years.
