My father is Jiajing

Chapter 498 The Birth of the Crown Prince
"Your Majesty, you are so happy!"

Before Zhu Zaigui saw anyone, he heard one after another of uncontrollable shouts of joy from outside.

Zhu Zaigui and Gao Gong looked at each other, both of them seemed a little confused, and obviously didn't know what to be happy about.

Zhu Zaigui ordered the door curtain of the warm room to be opened and the person who brought the good news to be allowed into the warm room.

Zhu Zaigui took a closer look and found that it was Liu Dezhu, the chief eunuch of Prince Jing's palace.

When Liu Dezhu saw Zhu Zaigui, he bowed excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, I am very happy!"

Zhu Zaiqi looked at Liu Dezhu's excited figure and asked curiously, "What's the joy? Could it be that Princess Jing gave birth to a prince?"

The moment he saw that it was Liu Dezhu, Zhu Zaigui had a rough guess in his mind. Otherwise, why would Liu Dezhu come to his house alone to announce the good news?
Liu Dezhu said excitedly: "Your Majesty is wise. This is the prince born by the princess. That's why my prince sent this servant to announce the good news."

Gao Gong, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown when he heard that the prince was born in Prince Jing's Mansion.

Originally, Gao Gong had never taken Prince Jing seriously, but now Prince Jing actually has a prince. If he wins a generous reward from Emperor Jiajing, wouldn't it affect the court again?

You know, Yan Shifan and other die-hard Yan party members are still hoping that King Jing will make a comeback.

Therefore, the birth of a prince in Prince Jing's Mansion at this time is definitely not a good thing.

But Zhu Zaigui's expression was different. He kept saying, "Good, good, good, this is really a blessing for me. Has this matter been reported to Xiyuan?"

Liu Dezhu said: "Prince Jing went to Xiyuan in person to announce the good news."

When Gao Gong, who was standing by, heard that it was Prince Jing who went to the West Garden in person, his heart skipped a beat, for Zhu Zaigui had not yet been summoned by Emperor Jiajing.

As a result, Prince Jing now brazenly took advantage of the birth of the prince of the royal palace to go to the Western Garden to pay a personal visit. Isn't it immediately clear how close they are to each other?

Could it be that the prince of Jing is the one that His Majesty favors the most? Is the prince of Yu just a cover? Is he a pawn used to balance the court?
For a moment, Gao Gong was a little confused.

Zhu Zaigui smiled happily at Liu Dezhu and said, "You can go down and receive the reward. I will go to Prince Jing's mansion to congratulate you in person."

Liu Dezhu excitedly bowed to Zhu Zaigui again, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

Zhu Zaigui smiled and waved his hand, asking Liu Dezhu to leave.

At this time, Gao Gong finally couldn't help it, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Zhu Zaigui looked at Gao Gong's suddenly nervous expression, and after a moment's thought he knew what Gao Gong was nervous about.

Zhu Zaigui smiled and said, "Sir, don't have any extraneous thoughts. This is a happy event. Just act as you always do. I will go to Prince Jing's mansion to congratulate you in person later, so I won't invite you to lunch."

Gao Gong was still a little nervous and said: "But Your Majesty, that is the Prince of Jing. Although his birth is a great joy, for Your Majesty..."

Zhu Zaigui's face darkened, and he looked at Gao Gong with a warning look, "Sir, there are some things you shouldn't say, nor should you consider. I have my own plans in mind."

After being looked at like this by Zhu Zaigui, Gao Gong felt a chill in his heart and became confused, as if there was indeed a secret in this matter that he didn't know.

But obviously there was a secret that Zhu Zaigui could not tell him.

So after being warned by Zhu Zaigui, Gao Gong immediately submitted and bowed: "I am terrified and thank you for your teachings, Your Majesty."

Zhu Zaigui looked at Gao Gong's finally softened attitude, and his tone became much better. Zhu Zaigui said: "This matter is not as complicated as you think. You only need to know that the birth of Prince Jing is a happy event. As for other considerations, they are purely unnecessary. Do you understand what I mean?"

Gao Gong repeatedly replied: "I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing up my confusion."

Zhu Zaigui then said: "You just need to stay calm about this matter. If someone is as anxious as you are and tends to overthink things, you can just respond and comfort the anxious person like this, and there is no need to explain too much."

Gao Gong bowed excitedly again: "I understand!"

Zhu Zaigui said: "Okay, let's end this matter here. Now I have to go and make some preparations."

Gao Gong bowed again and said, "I will take my leave."

After Gao Gong left, Zhu Zaigui finally couldn't help but sigh, "This matter really can't be explained, but there's no need to explain it to anyone."

"Meng Chong!"

Zhu Zaigui called Meng Chong again and asked him to come to his side.

Meng Chong bowed to Zhu Zaigui and said, "I am here."

Zhu Zaigui said, "Go and prepare all the gifts for Prince Jing, and then follow me to Prince Jing's mansion to congratulate him in person."

At the same time, in Xiyuan Yuxi Palace.

Prince Jing Zhu Zaizhen came to the West Garden with an extremely nervous mood and arrived outside the Jingshe in Yuxi Palace.

He was not summoned into the monastery by Jiajing, but was just standing at the entrance of the monastery, nervously announcing the good news, separated by a door and several curtains through which his figure could not be seen.

"Your son Zhu Zaizhen pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor."

Zhu Zaizhen knelt down and bowed in front of the temple earnestly.

When Emperor Jiajing in the temple heard Zhu Zaizhen's voice, his reaction was also very calm.

"Is it the prince?"

The voice of Emperor Jiajing came out from the temple so calmly, as if it was a cold and indifferent voice coming from the sky above.

Zhu Zaizhen replied: "With the blessing of the emperor, the princess gave birth to a prince."

When Emperor Jiajing heard that it was the prince, he felt relieved for some reason. He said to Prince Jing, "Thank you for your hard work, Wang. You can go down now."

Zhu Zaizhen did not dare to express himself, and immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, father. I will take my leave."

After Zhu Zaizhen left, Huang Jin, who was serving Emperor Jiajing, did not look excited or happy, but this was still a happy event.

So Huang Jin still smiled and said to Emperor Jiajing: "Congratulations to the Emperor on having another grandson."

Emperor Jiajing looked at Huang Jin who was congratulating him with a bad temper, "Are you congratulating me?"

Huang Jin smiled awkwardly, "Of course I congratulate the emperor. The young master of Prince Jing's mansion is your grandson!"

Emperor Jiajing sighed, "How could I not know? But this matter still feels a little difficult to say out loud."

Huang Jin was embarrassed again and didn't respond to this sentence. Huang Jin reminded him, "Your Majesty should give the little prince a name." Emperor Jiajing sighed and said to Huang Jin, "Forget about the naming. You can go to Prince Jing's Mansion later to convey the order and say that the eldest brother is like a father. Let Saner give the child a name on my behalf. This can be regarded as my special favor. As for the reward for this child, it will be raised to a higher level and followed the rules for ordinary princes. This can also be regarded as a kind of compensation from me."

Huang Jin was a little stunned. This seemed to be against the rules.

Even if Emperor Jiajing was not happy to give the name, the name should have been given by Prince Jing.

As a result, Emperor Jiajing directly gave the task of naming the Prince of Jing to Zhu Zaigui. This is truly an unprecedented story!

However, Huang Jin didn't say much. He knew the reason, but he couldn't tell it.

As for raising the reward by one level, that was not a problem either, because when the young prince Zhu Yifan was born in Prince Yu's Mansion, Emperor Jiajing raised Zhu Yifan's reward to the standard for the birth of a prince.

Therefore, it is reasonable to give the prince of Jingwang Mansion the standard reward. After all, this is the emperor's grandson, and it is reasonable for him to love him. Even if the officials want to find fault with this, they have nothing to say.

After all, not everyone can afford to commit the sin of alienating the royal family.

Moreover, even if he was given the usual reward for a prince, it would only be some insignificant little things and some palace maids and eunuchs.

So Huang Jin certainly would not have any doubts about such an order.

Therefore, since Emperor Jiajing had such an order, Huang Jin just had to act according to it.

Huang Jin responded and immediately went to do things according to Emperor Jiajing's order.

At the same time, the news that Prince Jing had given birth to a prince spread throughout the capital like a whirlwind.

Yan Shifan, who had been in a bad mood and had a poor appetite these days, suddenly became excited when he heard the good news, and his only remaining eye was shining with excitement.

"Great, great! This is really a great thing! King Jing has a prince. From now on, who dares to say that the emperor only has one choice?"

Yan Shifan excitedly opened a bottle of ginseng lemonade. He didn't care that it was cold and drank half of it directly. It can be seen how good his mood was.

At this time, Yan Maoqing also came to Yan Shifan's house very excitedly.

Yan Maoqing danced with joy and shouted excitedly, "Great joy, young minister! Great joy, young minister!"

Yan Maoqing ran towards Yan Shifan excitedly, but he stepped on the thin ice and slipped on the ground. However, this did not stop Yan Maoqing's enthusiasm. He still shouted excitedly and got up from the ground.

Yan Shifan was in a very good mood when he saw Yan Maoqing so excited.

Yan Shifan laughed and said, "Slow down, slow down."

But Yan Maoqing still couldn't stop his enthusiasm. He got up from the ground and ran towards Yan Shifan again.

When he ran to Yan Shifan, his face flushed with excitement, "Young Lord, how happy you are!"

Yan Shifan smiled and asked knowingly, "Where does your happiness come from?"

Yan Maoqing said excitedly: "Good news from Prince Jing's Mansion! The news that Princess Jing gave birth to a little prince has spread throughout the capital. Now everyone is paying attention to Prince Jing's Mansion. We can finally move back to Yicheng this time."

After Yan Shifan heard what Yan Maoqing said, although he already knew the news, he still couldn't help laughing, "Great, great, great! This is really a great thing! Finally, Wang Bengu's city has been moved here. Go and get ready, we will go to Prince Jing's mansion to congratulate him in person tomorrow!"

Yan Maoqing said happily: "Young Lord, I have already prepared everything. We will go to congratulate you tomorrow morning."

Yan Shifan sighed, "It's really not easy. When we push King Jing to the position of crown prince, we'll see how arrogant Zhao Wenhua, the traitor, can be. He actually dared to betray me. He really doesn't know how many eyes Lord Ma has."

Yan Maoqing, who was standing by, glanced at Yan Shifan's one eye and couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Isn't it just one eye? Do you think you have three eyes?"

Of course, Yan Maoqing just complained in his mind and didn't really say it out loud.

Yan Maoqing asked: "What should Wang Bengu do now?"

Yan Shifan snorted, "Why bother with this idiot? We now have the prince of King Jing, who is much stronger than Wang Bengu. He is now a rat crossing the street, and it will do us no good to stick to him, so let him fend for himself. I, Yan Shifan, hate hypocrites like this!"

Yan Maoqing looked at Yan Shifan's angry expression and sighed in his heart, "You hate him because he is also a Jinshi, right?"

However, Yan Maoqing did not say this out loud, because he was also a Jinshi, so when he was serving Yan Shifan as a dog, Yan Maoqing never showed off his status as a Jinshi, because he knew that this would irritate Yan Shifan.

After all, Yan Shifan was only able to obtain the status of a student and the qualification to become an official thanks to his father's influence. Otherwise, someone like him would probably not be wanted, let alone become an official, even as a clerk.

But who can blame him for being so lucky? He has a father who is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet!

Yan Shifan was in a good mood and drank the remaining half bottle of ginseng lemonade, then he let out another long roar: "Great!"

Seeing Yan Shifan in such high spirits, Yan Maoqing also laughed along and said, "Great, great, great!"

Just when Yan Shifan and the others were having a great time, Zhu Zaigui also asked Meng Chong to prepare gifts, and he also took Chen with him to Prince Jing's mansion.

When Zhu Zaigui arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, Zhu Zaizhen also returned from Xiyuan.

When he heard that Zhu Zaigui had arrived at the gate of the mansion, he immediately went to the gate to greet him in person without even having time to inform or prepare.

"Third Brother!"

Zhu Zaizhen bowed excitedly to Zhu Zaigui.

Zhu Zaiqi looked at him and smiled, "No need to be polite, brother Zhen, let's go into the mansion together quickly."

Zhu Zaizhen nodded, then invited Zhu Zaigui, and the two of them entered the mansion together.

At this moment, the palace of Prince Jing was filled with joy and happiness everywhere. Whether it was the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace or the servants doing odd jobs, they were all in high spirits.

Obviously, the birth of Prince Jing also brought them tangible benefits.

"Third brother, I'll take you to see the child."

Zhu Zaizhen welcomed Zhu Zaigui into his mansion and spoke to him excitedly.

Zhu Zaigui waved his hand and said, "Not for the time being. Children have poor resistance and it is a cold season now, so it is better to see fewer strangers. Remember to follow the instructions of Doctor Li and Doctor Wan and take good care of the health of the young master."

Zhu Zaizhen nodded heavily. Wasn't what he hoped for the young master to grow up healthily and then shoulder the inheritance of Prince Jing's Mansion?
Now Princess Jing has lived up to everyone's expectations and given birth to a little prince. This is a relief for Zhu Zaizhen.

So today Zhu Zaizhen was also excited and excited from the bottom of his heart.
