Chapter 432 This Year, Three Moments
Royal Garden.

Concubine Zhang Guifei screamed in pain, she raised her upper body, covered in hot sweat: "I am going to die...I am going to die! Your Majesty, let your Majesty come down!" She grabbed Zhang Qiangwei's hand vigorously with one hand, The pain made Zhang Qiangwei's eyes full of tears: "Your concubine, you have to hold back, hold it back and pass."

"No, I'm going to die, I want to see Your Majesty." The amniotic fluid had broken, and Zhang Guifei, who was naked, was lying on the bed, her skin turned red from the exertion.

The two court ladies screamed loudly, already panicked.

Chen Hong stepped forward and slapped them one by one: "Quiet, I disturbed the empress and killed you."

The two maids slapped their faces, and then they became quiet.

Chen Hong asked the nanny who delivered the baby: "How?" Even though he asked, his eyes were fixed on Concubine Zhang's birth canal.

The woman who delivered the baby was so anxious that she couldn't stop sweating: "If you go back to the little father-in-law, the fetal position is right. It's just that the imperial concubine is already in pain. If you don't use force, the baby will not be born."

Eunuchs have no gender, and people in the palace don't regard them as men.Although Chen Hong usually works as a clerk, he is also in charge of Concubine Zhang's daily life.

Concubine Zhang Guifei didn't let him avoid changing clothes and bathing on weekdays, and sometimes even asked Chen Hong to help rub his back.Therefore, Concubine Zhang Gui didn't think there was anything wrong with being looked at by him like this, so she couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty."

Chen Hong: "Your Majesty, His Majesty is busy with business and won't come. Besides, if this bloody aura offends His Majesty, it will be our fault. Your Majesty, use your strength, your strength, and the child will not come down if you don't use your strength." After finishing speaking , He put his hand in front of Zhang Guifei's mouth.

Concubine Zhang Gui bit hard.

"Wow!" A crisp baby cry sounded.

"God bless, God bless!" the midwife Wen Po cried out in surprise: "It's a prince, it's a prince!"

"Chen Hong, is it really the prince?" Concubine Zhang Guifei lost her strength and only asked weakly.

Chen Hongyou took a careful look, and his pupils shrank: "If you go back to your mother, you are a prince."

"Finally the prince is born!" Concubine Zhang Gui cried sadly.

At this time, Chen Hong's right hand had been bitten to pieces by Concubine Zhang, but he still walked out of the room with the same expression, and when he raised his hand, two eunuchs came over: "I have seen Eunuch Chen."

"You two go to the Queen Mother to announce the good news, and I will go to Xiyuan to see Your Majesty."

Yuxi Palace.

Emperor Jiajing was sitting cross-legged on the futon, his eyes seemed to be open, and he seemed to be wandering away.

Several ministers from the cabinet have come.

Days of severe drought, the air is so dry that it seems to be burning.

The chief minister of the cabinet, Yang Tinghe, looked at the sixty-year-old cabinet member in front of him quietly, without saying a word.

The sixty-year-old cabinet minister looked very energetic, his eyes were full of sharp light, he shook his arm vigorously, and said loudly: "Mr. Yang Ge, now, there is a severe drought in Huainan and Jiangbei. After the so-called long drought, there must be a big drought." Waterlogging, I have to make preparations early. Okay, when it comes to money, the people in the household department will push back and forth, and don’t take out any money. Will they wait for the civil uprising after the disaster in the Huaihe River area before they are willing to allocate funds? Now, it is the time to prepare When money and food are used to help the victims, but you, the chief assistant, want to rectify the river works, it is a bit off topic."

Yang Tinghe still didn't speak, but Jiang Mian, a cabinet minister next to him, couldn't help but say: "Yang Yiqing, you don't take charge of the household department, how much do you know about the family background of the treasury, how much money was collected in Taicang this year, everywhere I’m stretching out my hand. I can only scatter the rain and dew all over the place, so that the family can share a little so as not to starve to death.”

That's right, it was Yang Yiqing, the cabinet minister who just joined the cabinet, who couldn't help waving his arms and throwing a fit just now.Now that Jiang Mian is getting older, if Yang Yiqing is allowed to join the cabinet, it is estimated that the court also has the intention of letting him accept the household department under Jiang Mian's control.But before he was in charge of the Ministry of Accounts, he was dictating the state's finances, which made Jiang Mian quite unhappy.

Hearing Jiang Mian's words, Yang Yiqing's complexion also changed, and he sneered: "Naturally, the money in the treasury should be used in the most important places. Prime Minister Jiang will use it everywhere, and every family has a share. I'm afraid nothing can be done."

"Okay, don't make any noise." Seeing that the two cabinet ministers were arguing really outrageously, Yang Tinghe interrupted their conversation, and said lightly: "Actually, the rectification of the river project is also to prepare for disaster relief. The Grand Canal is the north-south As a transportation hub, all materials for disaster reduction and relief in the future will need to be transported by water. But now the river and water transport are overcrowded and inefficient, and it is time to rectify them.”

Probably seeing the angry expression on Yang Yiqing's face, Yang Tinghe lowered his hand again: "Mr. Yang, you are probably thinking about the 60 taels of silver that was handed over to the Nanhe Hedao Yamen last month. Actually, Suining That section of the river has been inactive for a long time, and if it is not rectified, it may cause a fire. Therefore, last summer, I asked Liangjiang to lend them 60 taels, and now it is time to return the money to others. You too Don't be jealous, the money is not from the national treasury. It's the tax paid by Fangshan Weaving. If you really want to make a fuss, why not make a fuss with Sun Dan?"

Hearing Yang Tinghe's explanation, Yang Yiqing was a little discouraged: "The first assistant is right, but we need to make early preparations for the relief of the victims."

Jiang Mian spread his hands: "No money."

Yang Yiqing immediately became angry: "You shouted that you had no money during the disaster relief, but when the Yuxi Palace was repaired, the money came out. It's strange."

As soon as Yang Yiqing's words fell, all the cabinet ministers cried out.

Sure enough, Jiajing who was sitting on the futon suddenly opened his eyes, and sneered: "Why, why don't you see that I live more comfortably?"

Liulichang, Sun's house.

The two-year-long Sun House was finally completed, the paint was still wet, and there was a faint smell of earthen paint in the air.

Sun Danbao sat on a chair with his daughter, and taught his two-year-old daughter how to write: "Loy is good, how about reading with Daddy? Come on, come on: Jiajing three years, yes, just these four words, this year is Jiajing Three years, you have to remember."

"If you don't write, don't write." The chubby daughter shook her head impatiently, and said to Zhi Niang beside her in a childlike voice: "Mom, I want to eat candied fruit."

"Don't eat it, your teeth will hurt if you eat it." Zhi Niang looked at her daughter Sun Luoyi sweetly.

"I hate it, mother, you are too annoying, Dad, I want to eat candied fruit." Roy reached out and hugged his father's neck.

Sun Dan shook his head helplessly: "Greedy guy, be careful to grow fat."

"Father, I'm not fat, my brother is."

As soon as the words fell, a dull little boy came in and called, "Father, mother."

Zhiniang: "Ah, Xiaojue is here, come in quickly, come in quickly, there are candied fruit to eat."

The little boy named Sun Xiaojue did look a little fat, and he wasn't very clever, with a simple look between his brows: "Father, mother, my body itches badly."

Sun Dan was taken aback and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhiniang hurriedly pulled off Sun Xiaojue's clothes, and when she saw it, she took a deep breath.But he saw that his body was covered with large and small red spots: "The earth paint is poisoned."

At this time, Ting Lan came in and hugged the little boy: "Xiaojue, why are you running around, your father Aijing, don't disturb him."

Seeing that his son's body was full of red spots due to allergies, Sun Dan was furious, and shouted at Ting Lan: "Why are you a mother, your own son can't even look down on it, look, Xiaojue is like this, why don't you Find a doctor? Useless woman!"
