It was another spring, and the queen gave birth to a daughter. This was not the result that the Cui family wanted most. Han Ruzi and Cui Xiaojun were still very excited. Han Ruzi personally named "Rujun" and had to go back to the harem at least three times a day to check the condition of her daughter and treat it as a treasure.

But Han Ruzi's heart did not sink because of this, and he was still restless from time to time. He had been waiting for more than a year, and now he had a son, two daughters, and concubines who were pregnant and waiting for childbirth. Many suspicions about the emperor's physical condition had long disappeared. He would be an emperor with many children and grandchildren, and he was "qualified" to go out for a walk.

The resistance is not small, and Han Ruzi has made many breakthroughs.

Three months after Princess Rujun was born, the summer flowers were blooming. Empress Dowager Cining celebrated her birthday in her bedroom. She only invited several female family members of the Wang family to the palace and prohibited foreign ministers from congratulating her. After Han Ruzi went to court, she hurried back to the palace to pay her birthday to her mother.

Empress Dowager Cining held her grandson Qingzi in her arms. This was her nickname. Like "Rujun", it was not the official name recorded by Zongzheng's mansion and chatted with many concubines and female relatives. When the emperor arrived, laughter and joy stopped.

Empress Dowager Cining accepted the emperor's congratulations and urged: "Your Majesty, let's go busy. If you are here, we are not at ease. Qingzi, call him Father, Father."

One-year-old Qingzi could already say simple words, but the word "father" was a little difficult. He held a piece of sweet cake in his hand, buried his head in his grandmother's arms, and refused to look at his father.

Empress Dowager Cining laughed and waved her hand to chase the emperor away quickly.

Han Ruzi smiled and took a leave. In his impression, his mother was very strict with herself when she was a child. Although she was alone in the courtyard, she taught him to read and explained various reasons to him. When she arrived at Qingzi, she was spoiled and did not let her grandson suffer any hardship.

Han Ruzi went to Qiuxin Palace, and the queen attended the birthday party with the empress dowager. The three-month-old little princess stayed in the palace and was taken care of by Meng E.

Although Meng E has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, she treats babies very gentle and almost never leaves. When the emperor comes in, she just glances at the sleeping princess in the small bed.

Han Ruzi walked over and looked at it for a while. She was happy and afraid of disturbing her daughter's sleep. She said nothing, nodded to Meng E and left the room.

Zhang Youcai came up with a smile on his face.

"Why are you laughing at?" Han Ruzi asked as she walked.

"Since I had a child in the palace, the atmosphere has really been different."

"Yeah." Han Ruzi deeply felt the same way. He has always regarded the palace as a villa. Since his son and daughter were born one after another, villa has gradually disappeared, and this place is more like his home.

Zhang Youcai followed the emperor, laughed twice, and couldn't help but say, "Is Your Majesty a little jealous?"

Han Ruzi said in surprise: "What are you jealous?"

"I'm jealous of the prince and the princess, I saw it, Empress Dowager, Queen, concubine... In short, all the women in the palace are now paying attention to children, and Your Majesty is a little neglected."

Han Ruzi smiled, "All women? Not as exaggerated as you said."

The two of them said as they walked and went straight to Lingyun Pavilion. The group of eunuchs behind them were really jealous of Zhang Youcai, but there was no way. Who told him to live and die with the emperor?

Han Ruzi had nowhere to go before coming to Lingyun Pavilion. Many servants were not there, and he had nothing to do. He just looked at the memorials and flipped through the miscellaneous books.

Zhang Youcai prepared pens and ink for the emperor, and while the emperor was in a good mood, he said, "Have your majesty thought about asking for a few princes and princesses too much?"

"Of course I thought about it, the more the better." Han Ruzi picked up the memorial, which was all trivial. He glanced at him and approved it and "read it".

"If you want more princes and princesses, you must first choose more concubines." Zhang Youcai reminded.

Han Ruzi put down the memorial and looked at Zhang Youcai, "Who asked you to say this?"

Zhang Youcai waved his hand quickly, "No, no, I swear to the sky, absolutely no, I really hope to see His Majesty have many children and grandchildren."

Han Ruzi smiled and said, "That's because I'm too worried. I've said in Luoyang that I won't be able to give a draft within three years. Now I'm still a year away. I'm not in a hurry, so you don't have to worry."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Youcai didn't dare to say more.

Although there is nothing major in the memorial, after reading it too much, he can have a general understanding of the situation in all parts of the world. Once he read it, Han Ruzi forgot about other things, and it was late at night without realizing it.

Han Ruzi hurried back to the harem, and he had to celebrate his mother's birthday again before nightfall.

Zhang Youcai had just received a message from Empress Dowager Cining, asking the emperor to go to Cining Palace directly.

Han Ruzi usually goes to Cishun Palace to pay tribute to the two empress dowagers, and today is an exception.

Most of the guests in the Cining Palace have left. The houses are cleaned and there is a faint smell of wine, which can only be smelled by newcomers.

Empress Dowager Cining was still holding Qingzi, and Tong Qing'e stood aside, looking at her son, and had no chance to reach out.

"I wish the Queen Mother a long life to the south of the mountain."

"Why do you live for so long? Your Majesty might as well wish my children and grandchildren."

Han Ruzi smiled and said, "I wish the Empress Dowager a lot of children and grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-grandchildren."

Empress Dowager Cining smiled and handed Qingzi to Tong Qing'e, and told her: "Qingzi has eaten enough today. The imperial concubine is careful. Don't feed it within an hour. It's hot recently, so let him turn over..."

Tong Qing'e saluted the emperor one by one and held her son and took her back.

Han Ruzi was really a little jealous, and her son was so pampered.

Queen Mother Cining breathed a sigh of relief, "How difficult it is to raise a child, I am really worried that I can't bear it."

Han Ruzi smiled but said nothing.

Empress Dowager Cining said seriously: "Your Majesty wants to leave the capital again, right?"

"Empress Dowager..." Han Ruzi's thoughts had not been revealed to anyone. He thought he had hidden them well, and his mother was devoted to Qingzi and could see through them, which really surprised him.

"Your Majesty has been trying to speak in front of me several times, and I must have asked for this matter before I celebrate my birthday."

Han Ruzi had to nod, "I only have one prince, I haven't reached the initial number of promises, but..."

"I agree."

Han Ruzi was even more surprised. He thought that the biggest resistance in the palace came from his mother, but he didn't expect it to pass so easily.

“But I have several conditions.”

"Mrs. Please say, as long as I can do it..."

"Your Majesty can do it." Empress Dowager Cining interrupted her son, "First of all, Your Majesty cannot go out to Beijing to go shopping alone. You must bring a concubine. If she can get pregnant on the road, it will not delay the main business."

Han Ruzi was so amused that letting the concubine get pregnant became the emperor's "main business". "The empress dowager, the journey of hunting is quite difficult, and the concubine may not be able to stand the long bumps."

"Your Majesty took Concubine Jin for a long time. I chose it for His Majesty. Concubine Shu Deng Yun was born in a military general's family. She is in good health and can ride a horse. Can she be with His Majesty? "

This is not an excessive condition, Han Ruzi said: "It's good if the empress dowager decides."

"Well, the second condition is that I am not at ease with His Majesty leaving the capital alone, and I am not at ease with the people around His Majesty. I will choose a follower from the Wang family and let him follow His Majesty, so I will feel a little more at ease."

When the emperor travels, he always has to bring a lot of people, and he doesn't care about adding one, "Okay, which relative is he? Should he be appointed as an official first?"

"No need, wait until I'll choose. The Wang family is too honest. I have to choose one more clever."

Han Ruzi agreed and felt that things went well.

"The third condition is that Your Majesty will issue a talented imperial edict."

Zhang Youcai and Empress Dowager Cining mentioned this matter one after another, and Han Ruzi felt a little unhappy, "Empress Dowager, you have no jokes, three years have not passed."

"I know this, there is still one year left. Your Majesty issued an imperial edict to a draft immediately. It is next year. It is just a letter to the world so that all parties can prepare early." Empress Dowager Cining paused, "I agreed to the draft at the beginning. Your Majesty thought that the country was difficult and not too much trouble. The reason was correct to suspend the draft. But everyone in the world said that Your Majesty is good, but I thought I was a foolish empress dowager."

Han Ruzi immediately said: "I was not considerate at that time. I would issue an order, and the Queen Mother would still host the talent show. But the scale should not be too large and not last too long. Not only did it cost the people's efforts, it also delayed many families marrying their daughters."

Empress Dowager Cining smiled and said, "I am also a daughter born in a poor family. I still don't understand this principle? Your Majesty, don't worry, I will choose this year first. The date next year will come and there will be results in a few days. At most, ten people will not be more, okay?"

Han Ruzi agreed, but his mother's request was not excessive, and it was difficult for him to take a tough attitude towards his mother.

The second level is the queen. This level is not difficult. Han Ruzi believes that the queen can understand her own difficulties.

Sure enough, after hearing about the emperor's decision that night, Cui Xiaojun only said one sentence, "Your Majesty wants to come back soon."

The third level is the most difficult, and Han Ruzi has to get the ministers to agree.

Over the past period of time, the monarch and ministers got along well, and the emperor gave the prime minister full trust. This is the greatest power. Zhuo Ruhe was able to show his strength to the fullest, and all civil and military officials were also very satisfied.

In this case, no one wants to see changes. In the capital, the information the emperor saw was provided by the minister. When leaving the capital, it would be difficult to control what the emperor saw.

The emperor defeated Han Chou, the Marquis of Luoyang for the first time. Who knows if there will be another unlucky person?

The next morning, Han Ruzi announced at Qinzheng Hall that he would go to a tour. Yunmengze was settled. The war in the East China Sea had not yet settled, and there were hidden dangers in the north, and they were all places he was going to.

The ministers raised objections without exception, with various reasons, which consumed national strength, alarmed the world, disturbed the court, and made the empress dowager worried, etc.

Han Ruzi refuted one by one, while the ministers raised new reasons, but they did not fight for the result for the whole morning.

There were more oppositions than Han Ruzi expected. For three consecutive days, memorials flew over like snowflakes. There were many reasons for opposition. Several ministers jointly signed and pointed out seriously that the astrological signs in the sky were unstable recently, so the emperor should not leave the capital rashly.

Han Ruzi was not impatient or impatient. He read every memorial and wrote it into a reply if he could speak publicly. The content that was not suitable for the transcript was told to Zhao Ruosu in consultation.

Han Ruzi expressed his determination to Zhao Ruosu, claiming that the hunting was imperative, and if he did not get the approval of the minister, he would lead his troops out of the city directly.

Then he observed silently and waited silently for the wind to change.

The ministers arranged an observer next to the emperor, which was a deception of the emperor, but it could also be used.

Half a month later, the minister's attitude finally began to soften, and there was only one question left: Where should the emperor go? (To be continued.)
