The Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was extremely rebellious

Chapter 185 A Little Prince Was Really Born

Imperial Concubine Qin Lan is about to give birth.

Wanli was extremely nervous.

He immediately ordered his men to pack up their belongings, quickly mobilize the warships, and prepare to return to the palace.

At around 9:00 p.m., everything was almost ready.

It's almost November now. There is a cold wind outside. The leaves of the trees have almost been blown away. If you stay outside for a long time, your face will get red crusts.

He was worried that his concubines and children would freeze to death, so he ordered three sedan chairs carried by eight men to go to the palace, which was only a few miles away from the dock outside the former Miyun County.

When Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan got out of the sedan chair, he personally went forward to help her.

Unexpectedly, Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan rolled her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I'm fine. I can walk a few miles now. Please don't block the road. It's difficult for me to come out."

Upon hearing this, Wanli could not help but step aside in embarrassment.

Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan took a big step forward and walked towards the dock with her big belly, as if nothing had happened.

This is the benefit of practicing martial arts.

Seeing this, Queen Wang and Concubine Wang Gong were extremely envious.

It is really difficult for them to walk when they are pregnant.

After everyone got on board, the navy fleet set off.

In this hurry, they could only mobilize dozens of naval warships, and even if they were all filled, they could only accommodate a few thousand people.

Moreover, this time they also brought a lot of eunuchs and palace maids. Only about a thousand elite imperial guards could take the boat with them. The rest of the Jinyiwei and imperial guards rode their horses at full speed and headed straight for the capital.

By now, the silt in the moat of the capital city had long been cleared, and even the silt in the puddles in the city had been cleared away. The water gates near Deshengmen and north of the imperial city had also been renovated, and the navy fleet could row directly into the Taiye Lake in the imperial city, which was very convenient.

However, they had to travel more than 200 miles to get to the imperial city via the Chaobai River, Tonghui River, moat, and Jishuitan. Moreover, there was Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan on board who was about to give birth, so the navy warships did not dare to row too fast.

It was past three quarters past noon before they returned to the palace.

By this time, the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards had already arrived on horseback, and Imperial Noble Concubine Qin Lan was already crying out of hunger.

Wanli immediately ordered the imperial chef to prepare delicious food, and ordered the eunuchs to turn on the floor heating in Kunning Palace. He also asked Wan Bangzhong to take the pulse of Imperial Noble Concubine Qin Lan to see if she was pregnant. He was very busy.

After returning to the palace this time, he did not deal with state affairs. Instead, he stayed in Kunning Palace all day, busy preparing for the birth of his child.

Fortunately, many of the Wan brothers' wives and concubines are good at midwives, so he doesn't need to hire anyone to deliver babies. Ten of the Wan brothers' wives and concubines can deliver babies in a day.

Around twilight hour that day, as the sun was setting, the whole family was happily enjoying their meal in the kitchen of Kunning Palace. Suddenly, Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan dropped her chopsticks, clutched her stomach, and cried out, "Oh, my stomach hurts so much!"

She is a martial artist, and she can scream in pain while holding her stomach. I don't know how painful it is.

When Wanli saw this, he was shocked.

Queen Wang said tactfully, "Your Majesty, it's okay. I'm about to give birth, and it's normal to have stomachaches."

Upon hearing this, Wanli quickly said in a loud voice: "Quick, call the Divine Doctor Wan."

At this moment, Wan Bangzhong was staying in the Yangxin Palace with several of his brothers and sisters-in-law, so he naturally arrived quite quickly.

He walked in quickly and saw the pale face of Imperial Noble Concubine Qin Lan. Then he heard her uncontrollable screams. There was no need to take her pulse.

This must be the beginning of the birth.

He quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please quickly send the Imperial Concubine back to her bedroom. I will call my sisters-in-law over right away."

After saying that, he walked out quickly.

This time, Imperial Noble Concubine Qin Lan's calves were trembling with pain. She couldn't walk at all and it was difficult for her to get up.

Upon seeing this, Wanli quickly called over two stronger palace maids and ordered them to lift up Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan and quickly send her to the bedroom.

However, the girls nowadays are generally around 1.5 meters tall, and they look like chicks in front of Qin Lan, who is 1.8 meters tall.

Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan carried two palace maids back to the bedroom tremblingly like an eagle catching a chick.

Immediately afterwards, Wan Bangzhong's sisters-in-law also hurried over.

Wanli and Queen Wang could only wait in the gatehouse outside the bedroom.

Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan kept crying "Ouch, ouch, ouch" for who knows how long. Wanli was so anxious that he was running around like an ant on a hot pan. Finally, a loud baby cry was heard from the brightly lit bedroom.

Soon, one of Wan Bangzhong's sisters-in-law opened the door curtain and came out, bowing repeatedly and saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! It's a little prince, and both mother and child are safe."

Great.

Upon hearing this, Wanli rubbed his hands excitedly and asked, "When can I go in and take a look?"

You can’t go in here now.

Wan Bangzhong's sister-in-law said cautiously, "Your Majesty, we'll probably have to wait about a quarter of an hour."

Now that the baby is born, there is no need to rush.

Upon hearing this, Wanli nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, get busy now."

He was just looking forward to going in to see Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan and the little prince when Queen Wang suddenly stammered, "Your Majesty, I think I'm pregnant too."

what?
Why didn't you vomit?
Upon hearing this, Wanli couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Really?" Queen Wang nodded slowly and said, "It's probably true. I guess I've given birth to Meimei before, so I don't feel like vomiting as much."

Great.

This is double happiness.

He worked hard for half a year and finally got it.

Wanli quickly raised his hand and said, "Uncle, quickly send someone to summon Doctor Wan."

Li Xuancheng was extremely excited at this moment. He loved playing with children, and the more grandchildren he had, the better.

Wan Bangzhong was shocked when he heard the news.

His sisters-in-law are all experienced midwives, so there will definitely be no problem with the delivery.

His Majesty is so anxious to send someone to summon him. Could something have happened to the Imperial Concubine?
He hurried in to take a look, but Wanli pointed at Queen Wang and said, "Xier seems to be pregnant too. Doctor Wan, come quickly and take Xier's pulse."

Upon hearing this, Wan Bangzhong hurriedly bowed and walked over to carefully feel Queen Wang's pulse.

I don’t know how long it took, but he suddenly retracted his hand and his face became solemn.

Seeing this, Wanli couldn't help but asked nervously, "Doctor Wan, what's wrong?"

Oh, how do I put this?

Of course he knew that His Majesty wanted the Queen to give birth to a legitimate son.

The problem is, it’s not this time.

He hesitated for a moment, then said carefully, "Your Majesty, it seems the Empress is pregnant with a princess this time."

what?
When Wanli heard this, he was stunned.

How come this is another daughter?

He is not biased towards boys.

On the contrary, he still likes the little princess a little more.

The problem is that Queen Wang must give birth to a legitimate son to end the dispute over the throne.

Upon seeing this, Queen Wang couldn't help but say with a guilty look on her face, "Your Majesty, my pregnancy is really disappointing."

That's what I said.

Wanli came back to his senses and smiled slightly, "It's okay. It's good to have more precious princesses. I like princesses. There's still plenty of time. We can have another one next year."

Uh, why are you saying this in front of so many people?
Upon hearing this, Queen Wang blushed with shame.

Upon seeing this, Wan Bangzhong hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Okay, I'm anxious to see my son.

Upon hearing this, Wanli raised his hand slightly and said, "Sorry to bother Doctor Wan, I don't have anything else to do here for the time being."

He waited for a while before Wan Bangzhong's sister-in-law lifted the curtain and invited him in.

What does this little guy look like?
He walked over quickly and saw that the little guy was lying next to Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan, dancing and gesticulating as if he was practicing martial arts.

The little guy's face is red now and his appearance cannot be seen yet, but judging by his energy, he will probably become a master in the future.

He carefully picked up the little guy and said happily, "Xiao Lan, this precious son is obviously a good material for martial arts training."

Why are you talking about practicing martial arts at this time?

Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan asked impatiently, "Your Majesty, have you decided on a name for your precious son?"

I don't have to think about this, it seems to have been arranged long ago.

Wanli said without hesitation: "His name is Zhu Changxu, three water drops, one "yu" and one "you"."

It is actually quite troublesome to name this prince, because the prince may inherit the throne, and his name must be avoided after he inherits the throne.

For example, Zhu Changluo's name is not very good.

After he became emperor, Luoyang, Luoshui, Beiluo River, Shangluo, etc. had to be renamed, with Luo replacing the word Luo.

This is the name.

Probably no one thought that he would become emperor when he was born.

The name Zhu Changxu is better.

However, the next name is not so good.

Because the next one is Zhu Changxun.

If Queen Wang gave birth to a third prince, he would be named Zhu Changxun.

Zhu Changxun became emperor?

This is somewhat absurd.
