Chapter 753 Xin Ning

Xingji City, Imperial City

Pearl Palace

In the middle of November, the imperial capital was already beginning to see a light snowfall, and the chill was growing inside and outside the city.

However, including Mingzhu Palace, the places frequented by Ren Ning's family, were still as warm as spring due to the newly laid floor heating system, so warm that they only needed to wear light clothes.

At this moment, the main hall was crowded with people.

In addition to the imperial doctors with nervous expressions, there were a few other people sitting in the hall - they were Ren Ning and Queen Yingpan.

In addition, there was an old man with a cane, who was Tieguai Li, Li Hezhu's grandfather.

Everyone held their breath, staring at the bedroom door, listening to the painful groans coming from inside from time to time, and everyone was extremely anxious.

Quack~

After an unknown amount of time, a faint cry was heard from the inner room. If it weren't for the sharp hearing of the people in the hall, it would have been almost imperceptible.

Soon, the palace gate opened, and Li Hezhu's maid Wutong and a midwife with a tired face walked out quickly.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the Queen."

"No need to be polite." Ren Ning raised his hand to interrupt and asked anxiously, "How is it inside? Is the imperial concubine all right?"

"Your Majesty," Wutong did not dare to neglect and quickly replied, "The queen gave birth to the princess safely, and both mother and daughter are in good health."

Call ~

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, with joy showing on their faces.

The Queen Mother was not present, so Yingpan stepped forward.

"Your Majesty is delighted to have a daughter. Thank you for the hard work of the Mingzhu Palace and the imperial doctors. You will all be generously rewarded!"

Everyone was overjoyed and expressed their gratitude in unison: "Thank you, Queen."

After a while, Mrs. Zhang came out with a baby in her arms, looking very happy.

This female military doctor, who originally specialized in trauma, made rapid progress under the guidance of many gynecological experts in Xingji City or the Imperial Hospital.

Especially after Ren Ning took office, Madam Zhang could enter and leave the Imperial Medical Clinic freely and read the medical books and pharmacopoeia therein to her heart's content. Now she is considered a good midwife, and this time she assisted Li Hezhu in the delivery throughout the whole process.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! The eldest daughter of the Emperor is smart and healthy, and the Imperial Concubine is in good condition. There is nothing serious. It's just that giving birth was difficult, so she needs to rest for a while."

"That's good, that's good."

Although Ren Ning and others had learned the news from Wutong, she was just a maid after all, so it was hard to say whether she was right or wrong.

Now that they had received further confirmation from Madam Zhang, everyone's worries were finally put to rest.

The young prince didn't understand what was going on. When he saw the familiar Madam Zhang, Ren Zhan waved his hands excitedly.

"Mammy! Mammy!"

"Hey, Your Highness." Madam Zhang smiled and responded, "Look at your sister, she is so cute and well-behaved."

Having said that, she handed the baby in her arms to Ren Ning, who was in the lead.

Ren Ning took the child in a hurry.

It's just that he had never held a child before, and this brave general and emperor almost lost his grip, causing everyone to be nervous.

"Father," the little prince finally waited for Ren Ning to hold him steady, and he pulled at his father's clothes, "I want to see my sister."

Ren Ning looked at his daughter fascinatedly and squatted down happily.

"Come, let's watch it together."

Uh ~

Ren Zhan looked curiously at the rosy little baby sleeping soundly in the cradle, feeling a little surprised and a little disgusted.

He poked the baby's cheek carefully.

"Father, Emperor, Mother, my sister is so ugly."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Ying Pan took the child and said with a smile: "My royal sister is not ugly, she is a little beauty. But all newborn babies are like this, she will be beautiful after some time when she grows up."

"Really?" The little prince was a little skeptical.

"Of course it's true." Madam Zhang chimed in, "Mammy, I remember that Your Highness looked like this when he was young. Now I see that he has grown into a handsome young man, hasn't he?"

Oh.

Ren Zhan suddenly realized.

Ying Pan gently warned: "My son, remember to protect your sister well in the future."

Although Ren Zhan was young, as the crown prince, he had already learned knowledge from the Grand Tutor and the Grand Preceptor.

Hearing this, he immediately straightened his chest and said solemnly: "Your son has made a note of this. I will definitely protect my sister well in the future."

This childish but serious response made everyone very happy. After a lot of twists and turns, the newborn was finally delivered to Li Tieguai who was eagerly waiting.

However, the old man just watched with joy, his beard and brows trembling with excitement, but he had no intention of reaching out to hug her.

"Why hug her? I'm an old disabled man with limited mobility. I have no regrets in my life just to see my great-granddaughter's safe birth. But please don't let her fall or get hurt."

Everyone tried to persuade him again and again, but Tieguai remained indifferent, so they had to give up.

At this time, Ren Ning turned his head and looked at Little Leo.

The young eunuch quickly stepped forward, with a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand.

"The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, decrees:

I have inherited the mandate of heaven, and have been carrying out the great plan. I have been diligent and vigilant day and night to guide the will of heaven. I look up to the prosperity of my ancestors and the prosperity of the palace.

Zierming Imperial Consort Li, who was virtuous and assisted in internal affairs, gave birth to the emperor's eldest daughter in the Mingzhu Palace at 3:00 p.m. on November 13th of the first year of Taixi.

The orchid symbol first descended, and the origin of the Xuanyuan was born. The princess was born with a spiritual spirit, with a bright moon spirit, a natural jade quality, and a kind heart. Her auspicious light reflected the color of the jade branches, and her virtuous aura condensed the spring of the golden house. Therefore, she was specially awarded the title of Princess Xinning, which means peace and tranquility for the whole of Xin.

He was granted a golden book and a royal seal, and was granted the city of Tangmu with 3,000 households, with an annual salary equal to that of a prince.

Ming imperial concubine Li, gentle and virtuous, graceful and elegant, was promoted to the third rank imperial concubine. She was given a seven-phoenix pearl crown, ten sets of cloud brocade and phoenix emblems, and a hundred oriental pearls to honor her virtue.

The Ministry of Rites Sukichi prepared the ceremony, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory selected a date and made a report.

The enthronement ceremony will be held in the Purple Palace three days later, with all the ceremonials and preparations in place.

The announcement was made far and wide, to show the favor and honor."

The imperial edict drafted by the Ministry of Rites was ornate and complex in its wording. It took a long while for Little Lizi to finish reading it.

Tieguai Li expressed his gratitude excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Not long after, there was a knock on the door and a young eunuch ran in.

"Your Majesty, General Lei Er requests to see you."

Yingpan turned her head to look at the hourglass and smiled.

"Your Majesty, according to the time, Lei Er's child should be born soon. He must be here to announce the good news."

Ren Ning smiled knowingly: "Pass the order down, everyone in Mingzhu Palace must take good care of Concubine Xian and the princess. I will go to see Lei Er."

As soon as he returned to the outside of the imperial study, he met Lei Er, who had a very happy face.

Seeing Ren Ning, he shouted from afar: "Your Majesty! My child is born, and it's a big fat boy!"

Haha.

"I know, congratulations." Ren Ning was happy for him but also a little annoyed, pretending to be displeased and said, "But you dare to yell in the palace, how disgraceful."

Fortunately, the Minister of Rites was not there, otherwise Fan Wen would have to take out the book on rituals and recite it for several days.

Hey.

Lei Er was so scared that he shrank his neck. He looked around and there was no trace of Fan Wen, but he still lowered his voice.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the dagger..."

Ren Ning was even more annoyed.

"Don't you know who I am? Are you in such a hurry to enter the palace because you are afraid that I will break my promise?"

As he said this, he took off the dagger he had been carrying since he was in the Rock Fortress and handed it over.

"Let me make it clear first, this is a birthday present for your son."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lei Er was overjoyed and played with it over and over again as if it were a treasure.

After a long while, under Ren Ning's unhappy gaze, he finally responded with a chuckle.

"I understand that this is a gift from your majesty to the child. I will never be greedy and keep silent about it."

But the child is still young, so the gift will naturally be kept by his father for the time being.

"You." Ren Ning shook his head and laughed.

In fact, he had known that Lei Er had long coveted this deadly weapon, and had even asked people to make it according to its image several times.

I don't know if it's because the skills of the craftsmen he found were not satisfactory, or if Lei Er is more proficient in long-handled heavy weapons, the imitation dagger always feels inferior to use and never captures the essence of it.
