110: Three women in a row
Chapter 109: Three Daughters in a Row
In the sixth year of zhengyong, on the twentieth day of the tenth month.
Zheng Yi appeared at Hundred Flowers Palace.
Today was the day Consort Wan, Zhu Wanwan, was due to give birth.
Besides her, his two Junior Sisters, Lin Qinger and Rong Miaoer, were also about to give birth.
The three of them were only a few days apart.
Zheng Yi, Empress Lu Liner, Consort Xu, and others were still waiting at the door.
By now, Zheng Yi already had six daughters under his knees, but not a single imperial prince.
Eldest Princess Zheng Yuyao was over three years old, innocent and lovable, and had been doted on as the apple of Zheng Yi's eye.
Of course, the rest of the princesses were the same.
Whether it was because of the Innate Pure Yin Qi, or because both parents of the children were heroes of their generation, each of the six princesses was cuter and more beautiful than the last.
Wondering what kind of breathtaking beauty they would possess when they grew up.
After all, Zheng Yi was a modern person in his past life, and he paid great attention to the education of his children.
Eldest Princess Zheng Yuyao and Second Princess Zheng Yuxia had already received cultural education.
Of course, this education was not merely the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, but simply preliminary literacy.
Next, the education Zheng Yi prepared for his daughters included subjects such as culture, mathematics, politics, geography, and physics, taught by specialized teachers.
In addition to these cultural knowledge classes, there were also horseback riding, hunting, Martial Arts, and so on.
After all, as royal children, they had to receive the highest level of education since childhood!
Zheng Yi even prepared to wait until the two daughters, Zheng Yuyao and Zheng Yuxia, reached the age of five to go to Daizong Mountain and let Zhao Xi Zheng check whether the two daughters possessed Spiritual Roots.
Zheng Yi had always held great expectations regarding whether the daughters born from the Innate Pure Yin Qi possessed Spiritual Roots.
Having them was best.
In this way, they could follow him onto the path of cultivation, build a massive Family, and even a country of cultivators.
If they did not have Spiritual Roots, he would still grant his daughters glory, splendor, wealth, and rank for a lifetime.
Whatever they wanted to do, they could go and do it.
He himself would, at most, appear at critical moments to make choices and corrections for them.
Waiting like this, after the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, accompanied by a burst of "Wa wa wa" crying sounds, the child was born.
"Your Majesty~"
Lu Liner looked at Zheng Yi nervously and said in a low voice, "I wonder if Consort Wan can give birth to an imperial prince for Your Majesty?"
Zheng Yi said calmly, "My words remain the same. Whether it is an imperial prince or an imperial princess, I love them all deeply. Empress Lu Liner need not worry."
"But the imperial prince ultimately concerns Your Majesty's Legacy..."
Lu Liner's pretty face blushed slightly as she said, "How I hope the sisters in the harem can give birth to more imperial princes for Your Majesty."
"Empress Lu Liner is thoughtful."
Soon, the wet nurse walked in holding a little child, knelt down, and said,
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Rejoice, Your Majesty! It is a little princess!"
"Hoo..."
The various imperial concubines let out a long sigh of relief once again.
A princess?
A princess is good.
They still had a chance.
However... why was it a princess again?
That was seven princesses in a row!
There were currently three princesses with child: Consort Qing, Miao Consort, and Consort Cui.
Consort Qing and Miao Consort would give birth in these next two or three days.
As for Consort Cui, she was already four months pregnant and would be able to give birth in about five or six months.
I wonder if the three of them would give birth to an imperial prince?
If they could give birth to an imperial prince, it would be a celebration for the whole world.
If it was still a princess...
Thinking of this, the expressions of some concubines changed slightly.
But Zheng Yi paid no attention to them at all, and walked quickly into the bedchamber holding the child.
After Zheng Yi left, a few clever little eunuchs also quickly ran out to deliver messages to other imperial concubines in the harem.
Inside the bedchamber, Zhu Wanwan lay on the bed with a pale face. Seeing Zheng Yi enter, she bit her lip and finally said helplessly, "May Your Majesty be blessed with ten thousand fortunes. I have failed to give birth to an imperial prince for Your Majesty..."
"Alright, stop saying so many high-sounding words."
Zheng Yi waved his hand, signaling Zhu Wanwan to lie back down.
"I threw away all those contraceptive pills in your palace. As an imperial concubine, you are supposed to give birth to heirs for me. What reason do you have to refuse?"
"Your Majesty~"
"I know that your entry into the palace was also out of helplessness, but this child and you and I are fated. To be able to be safely born even after you took contraceptive pills is truly her blessing."
Zhu Wanwan said with emotion, "Your Majesty, it is all this concubine's fault..."
"Don't cry. You've already given birth and become a mother, how can you still sniffle and cry?"
Zheng Yi affectionately stroked Zhu Wanwan's beautiful hair. She and his Junior Sister were both ordinary people, and they only had a few decades of husband-and-wife relationship with him.
Since that was the case, he naturally should cherish them and let them live out this wonderful life.
"We ask Your Majesty to bestow a name upon this child."
Zheng Yi smiled and said, "I have already prepared it."
"It takes a hundred years of cultivation to share a boat crossing, and a thousand years of cultivation to share a pillow in sleep."
"This child is fated with you and me, so let her be named Zheng Yuyuan, and conferred as Princess Xiuyuan, how about that?"
"Yuan, Zheng Yuyuan, Princess Xiuyuan..."
Reciting the child's name, Zhu Wanwan's pretty face was filled with happiness.
She never would have thought that she, who came from the Baihua Sect and should have bewitched all living beings and caused countless heroes and gallants to bow before her, had actually fallen beneath the emperor's Dragon robe.
"Your Majesty~"
Her voice was dainty and charming. She quietly pulled Zheng Yi, signaling him to lean closer.
"The covert agents I have in the Baihua Sect sent back intelligence that Fuyou House's new stronghold seems to have reappeared in the world."
"Hm? Fuyou House!"
For so many years, he had been ordering the Jinyi Guard to search for intelligence on Fuyou House.
Unexpectedly, he learned of it from Zhu Wanwan's mouth.
The Baihua Sect truly deserved to be the number one intelligence organization in the world!
"Where are they?"
What Zheng Yi thought of at this moment was not the forces represented behind him, but the Fire Spirit Master who had disappeared for four whole years!
Four years ago, he followed Prime Minister Yang in rebellion, but was severely injured by Xu Xuanwu using the power of a military formation, and had been fleeing ever since.
He wondered how well he had recovered by now.
Did he still need to take revenge on their Great Yu?
"Jiujiang Prefecture in Jiangzhou, Jiangkou County."
Zhu Wanwan said, "This concubine originally received the news yesterday and wanted to report it to Your Majesty immediately, but who knew Your Majesty did not summon me, so I could only wait until today."
"Unexpectedly, Yuer'er descended into the world suddenly at this time, this is truly... Your Majesty's blessing!"
Zheng Yi nodded, and the situation of Jiangkou County in Jiujiang Prefecture appeared in his mind.
This county town was located in the southeast of Jiangzhou, facing the sea, and was a small county town famous for fishing.
When Fuyou House chose this place to reappear in the world, it couldn't be without the idea of preparing a getaway route.
Zheng Yi said, "Thank you, Beloved Consort. This intelligence is very useful to me."
"Being able to share Your Majesty's worries is this concubine's good fortune."
"Beloved Consort, rest well. I will come to see you again in a few days."
"Understood!"
Meanwhile, in the other two side halls of the Hundred Flowers Palace, upon learning that Zhu Wanwan had given birth to a princess, the smiles on the faces of Lin Qinger and Rong Miaoer could no longer be hidden.
"Giggle giggle, older sister gave birth to a daughter, truly... boundless good fortune!"
"That's right, in the future in the harem, we finally have something to rely on!"
"Shall we go check on older sister?"
"Good, good, good."
Rong Miaoer laughed coquettishly. Although her belly was rounded, her face was still delicate and tender, possessing a plump and lush beauty.
Supported by their respective maids, the two women walked toward the main hall. As soon as they stepped out the door, they saw Zheng Yi walking toward the outside of the palace with a solemn expression.
"This concubine greets Your Majesty!"
The two women bowed in salute, and Zheng Yi hurriedly supported both of them. After all, they were both pregnant women.
"The two of you are about to give birth, why aren't you lying in bed resting instead of coming here?"
Rong Miaoer said, "This concubine heard that older sister gave birth to a princess, and specifically came to visit."
"The sisterly affection among the three of you brings me comfort as well."
Zheng Yi said, "I have urgent matters here. You girls go ahead and return early to rest."
"Understood~!"
The two women watched Zheng Yi leave. Lin Qinger said, "Your Majesty doesn't look very happy~"
"That's naturally the case."
Rong Miaoer stuck out her belly and said, "Men, after all, all like boys."
"Now there are already seven princesses in this harem. If I could give birth to an imperial prince..."
"You?"
Rong Miaoer sneered and said, "Just on your account you also want to give birth to an imperial prince? I think you'll be just like Senior Sister."
"What did you say? I see your belly is also carrying a princess!"
"Who says so? I had a midwife look at it, and she said the lower part of my belly is completely rounded and integrated—it must be an imperial prince!"
"Is that so?"
As the two women were arguing, a voice suddenly interrupted them.
"Consort Wan just gave birth to a daughter, what are you two arguing about here?"
The incoming people were none other than Empress Lu Liner and Consort Xu.
The two women had no choice but to bow and say, "We greet Empress Lu Liner, we greet Consort Xu."
Empress Lu Liner nodded and said, "The two of you are about to give birth, why don't you hurry back and rest? If the dragon seed and descendants are harmed, you will be in for it."
"Hmph!"
The two women gave a delicate hump, obviously not putting Lu Liner in their eyes.
"You..."
"Alright!"
Xu Qingluan suddenly spoke up, "Stop wandering around outside. Although the two of you are Second-Rank Martial Artists, childbirth is the most perilous time for women."
"If you don't want anything to happen, strictly obey the imperial physicians' instructions and rest well."
When facing Xu Qingluan, the two women had no choice but to lower their heads.
After all, to be able to cultivate Martial Dao to the Grandmaster Realm as a woman, there were truly very few people in the entire Great Yu.
They could ignore Empress Lu Liner's orders, but when facing Xu Qingluan, they still had to lower their heads.
After the two women left, Lu Liner sneered and said, "Consort Xu has quite the Aura! Anyone who didn't know would think you were the Empress!"
Xu Qingluan said, "What kind of words are those, Empress? Isn't this concubine doing this for the stability of the harem?"
"The harem's stability? Hmph!"
Lu Liner raised her leg and walked away, saying, "In this Palace's view, the most unstable ones in this harem are precisely this batch of Jianghu women."
"This Palace will sooner or later find an opportunity to properly crush their prestige!"
"Empress, you..."
Watching Lu Liner leave in a huff, Xu Qingluan also shook her head helplessly, and could only silently pray in her heart that nothing major would happen.
At this time, Zheng Yi had already summoned the newly appointed Jinyi Guard Vice Commander, Tang Cheng.
"Tang Cheng, quickly deliver this confidential letter to Jinyi Guard Ma Jinwu and Tang Jing, and have them head to Jiangzhou on official business at the fastest speed."
"Understood!"
Watching Tang Cheng leave, Zheng Yi murmured, "Fuyou House, I hope you don't disappoint me!"
A few days later, the two women Lin Qinger and Rong Miaoer also safely gave birth.
Unsurprisingly, they were all princesses.
Hearing that they gave birth to princesses, the two women even cried bitterly, and nobody knew what they were sad about.
Zheng Yi also went to visit them one after another, and chose good names and titles for his two daughters.
The daughter born to Lin Qinger was bestowed the name Zheng Yuling, and conferred as Princess Lingbo.
The daughter born to Rong Miaoer was bestowed the name Zheng Yuzhen, and conferred as Princess Suzhen.
From then on, Zheng Yi already had nine princesses under his knees, and Zheng Yi was happy and carefree. However, after nine princesses in a row spread out from the imperial palace, it caused a great deal of discussion among the ministers in the imperial court.
Regarding these discussions, Zheng Yi did not care.
They were mere rumors; as long as he had sufficient strength, he would not fear rumors.
The matter he valued most right now was Bing Province.
After traveling day and night for more than half a month, Liu Chengen successfully arrived in Bing Province!
Caught a cold, whole body is aching, this was gritting teeth to finish unloading, please support.
