Zhu Cilang has been in a good mood these days.

Potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes have been promoted and planted in Nanzhili and Shandong. Although it is only a small pilot in the two provinces, if everything is normal, the harvest season can also be achieved.

The yields of the three high-yield crops are incomparable to rice and wheat. The most important thing is that they can tolerate drought.

This was particularly precious during the Little Ice Age.

Zhu Cilang even thought that if these three crops could be planted earlier, there would not have been so many famines during the Chongzhen period and there would not have been so many peasant army uprisings.

The foundation of the Ming Dynasty will not be shaken.

What a pity.

However, it is not too late to promote it now. After the southwest is pacified, the mountains there are more suitable for growing these coarse grains.

Of course, this is more than that happy for Zhu Cixuan.

His queen was happy.

In fact, Zhu Cilang is not an addicted person. Except for the wedding night, he performed a ceremony with Queen Tongtang, he did not call the queen to sleep.

I didn't expect that this only once joy would be a hit

This probability is really shocking.

In any case, the imperial physician gave a clear diagnosis and the queen was indeed pregnant.

This was an absolute joy for Zhu Cilang and even the entire Ming Dynasty.

For Zhu Ciying himself, he had a chance to breathe.

You should know that before this, the court and the public were discussing the emperor's delay in appointing the queen, and some even speculated whether His Majesty had any hidden diseases that were difficult to describe.

This statement was not suppressed slightly after Zhu Cilang was booked.

Now that the queen is pregnant, this absurd statement is naturally self-defeating.

The emperor is the only man in the palace. Can he still be green?

The only suspense is whether the queen conceived a man or a woman.

Ordinary people still attach great importance to this matter, let alone the Tian family.

The Tian family is selfless, and the issue of the emperor's own offspring is also the most concerned thing for the ministers.

This is related to whether the foundation of the country is stable and whether the country's destiny can last. It should not be underestimated.

Especially the queen's first child, if she is a prince, it would be perfect.

The legitimate son adds the eldest son. According to the patriarchal inheritance rules of the Ming Dynasty royal family, he is the well-deserved candidate for the crown prince.

If His Majesty dared not to enthrone the eldest son as the crown prince, the ministers would inevitably stop the court and cry for advice and strive for the foundation of the country.

They are very experienced in this regard.

When Emperor Wanli wanted to confer the title of King Fu as the crown prince, the civil officials tried their best to fight for their own reasons and never let it go.

In the end, after more than ten years of fighting, King Fu went from being a child to becoming an adult. Emperor Wanli did not compete to win, so he had to let King Fu go to Henan to take the vassal state.

Of course, it is too early to discuss this issue. The premise is that the queen gave birth to a prince.

If he is a princess, he will not have such troubles for the time being. However, the ministers will submit a memorial and ask His Majesty the Emperor to continue to work hard to create people and spread their branches and leaves for the Emperor.

But when Zhu Cilang took the initiative to come to Kunning Palace on the day, everyone in the palace was shocked. His Majesty the Emperor never took the initiative to come to Kunning Palace on weekdays, and the Empress was not prepared at all.

Zhu Cilang waved his hand and told them not to speak out and walked towards the main hall on his own.

Pushing the door gently in, Zhu Cilang slowly walked in.

I saw the embroidering something, Zhu Cixuan walked closer and coughed, "Queen, I heard that you have some anorexia recently, but have you asked the imperial doctor to treat it?"

"ah!"

Tong Tang was shocked, quickly put down the needle and thread in his hand, stood up and bowed to Zhu Cilang: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhu Cilang stepped forward and helped her and said, "Queen, you don't have to be too polite if you are pregnant."

"I thank Your Majesty for thanking you. Actually, it's nothing. I just can't eat too much. Eating more jealous can be better."

"oh?"

Zhu Cilang was happy when he heard this.

He heard a folk saying called "Soiry Girl".

It means that if a pregnant woman likes to eat sour mouth, then she is mostly a boy. If she likes to eat spicy mouth, then the possibility of getting pregnant with a girl will be much greater.

This statement has no special basis. It is mostly based on experience, but it makes Zhu Cilang very happy.

Of course, he hoped to see the queen give birth to a prince. At present, Huang Ming urgently needed a crown prince to calm people's hearts.

"That's why the imperial kitchen makes you more sour dishes, so you can rest assured to nourish your fetus."

"I thank Your Majesty."

Tongtang blushed and lowered her head.

Zhu Cixuan took the cloth sample embroidered by the queen and looked at it, and asked casually: "What is the embroidered by the queen?"

"Ah, it's a mandarin duck."

Tongtang pursed his lips and said.

"Oh? I look like a pair of ducks."

Zhu Cilang said half-jokingly.

He no longer remembers how long he hadn't joked.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the king and father of the subjects of the world, he had to show great majesty in front of others, just like a god.

He had no relatives in the palace, and he had nowhere to relieve his loneliness.

Until he had a queen.

Tongtang is a standard gentle and virtuous lady. When she was with her, Zhu Cilang could temporarily put aside his annoying government affairs and chat about family matters like an ordinary person.

It seems that we should still walk towards the queen more often in the future.

"puff!"

Tongtang couldn't help laughing for a moment.

"Your Majesty's statement is interesting. Is my embroidery so unbearable?"

Zhu Cilang whispered, "I said casually, don't take it to your heart. By the way, what did you do when you suddenly embroider the mandarin duck?"

"I just feel bored to stay in this deep palace all day, so I just embroidered some patterns. I think this mandarin duck is auspicious and embroidered."

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "It's good, but the queen must pay attention to her health and don't be tired. I still hope that the emperor will be born."

As he said that, Zhu Cilang put his ear on the queen's belly and listened for a long time.

"Hey, why didn't I hear the heartbeat of the emperor?"

The queen turned red and said, "I'm just pregnant, so how fast it is?"

"Ahem" Zhu Cilang smiled awkwardly, waved his hand and said, "I'm too anxious."

When he saw the queen embroidering something, he suddenly thought that his mother, Empress Hou Zhou, would also weave cloth in the palace during her lifetime, and mobilized all the palace maids to join her, and she felt a lot of emotion.

"My mother brought the palace maids to weave cloth in the palace. My father was so angry that he was torn a few times. He even couldn't bear to throw away his dragon robe. He continued to wear it after getting a tonic. They were so frugal, but they didn't expect it to be that kind of ending."

When the queen saw Zhu Cilang suddenly talk about sad things, she didn't know what to say for a moment, so she comforted her: "Your Majesty, you are a wise ruler and will definitely be able to lead the revival of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Cilang sighed, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The burden of the world is on my shoulders. Sometimes I really feel breathless. But Queen, you are right, I will definitely lead the revival of the Ming Dynasty. For you, for the unborn prince, and for the people of the world!"
