Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Chapter 438 Giving birth to a daughter

Situ Jin grabbed her hand, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, but my nose suddenly felt uncomfortable just now."

Su Ying felt relieved, looked at the pile of memorials on the table, and frowned: "It's almost time, how long will it take to read these?"

Situ Jin rubbed his sore eyebrows, put down the langhao pen in his hand, snapped the memorial in his hand, and threw it aside.

Pulling Su Ying toward the bedroom, Su Ying pointed to the pile of memorials on the table and said, "Husband, I haven't finished reading the memorials yet."

Situ Jin's tone was a little cold: "I won't watch anymore!"

Su Ying asked in confusion: "Why?"

Situ Jin suddenly stopped and sighed: "The world is peaceful recently. Do you know what they are playing these days?"

Su Ying saw that he looked wrong, tilted her head and asked: "Well, nothing major has happened recently. I am also curious. There are piles of memorials in my husband's study every day. In the past, the memorials sent by my father to the East Palace were piled up. There aren’t that many, and recently there have been more and more memorials, and my husband’s smiles are not as bright as before.”

With that said, Su Ying reached out and pinched his face, and pulled the corners of his lips into an arc, forcing Situ Jin to smile.

He stretched out his hand to catch Su Ying's troubled little hand, and pointed it towards her forehead: "Those people saw that the situation in the court was stable, and now they all turned their eyes to the East Palace. They said all day long that I favor you, and that the East Palace has few heirs. , persuade me to recruit more people into the harem, and tell me how I should review it."

Su Ying looked at him with an innocent face: "I... I am a woman, how can I interfere with the affairs of the court? You shouldn't ask me about this."

Situ Jin raised his lips slightly: "Madam, those courtiers are now targeting me. Do you really want to see my husband trying to silence the many courtiers outside?"

Su Ying pursed her lips and whispered: "Does your husband want to take a concubine?"

Hearing this, Situ Jin gritted his teeth and said: "Who said I want to take concubines? What I mean is that they said that I have few children. Now I only have one child, Rui'er, which is indeed a bit weak. We were busy with other things before. You follow me." It is not advisable to be pregnant while traveling westward. Now that the situation has stabilized, it’s time for us to work hard.”

Su Ying's face turned red, and Situ Jin gently took her into his arms.

"Aying, I still want a daughter. How about we have another daughter?"

Su Ying was stunned for a moment, with a shy smile on her face and nodded lightly.

With her approval, Situ Jin bent down to pick up Su Ying and walked quickly towards the bedroom.

When the servants waiting in the palace saw this scene, they calmly withdrew.

........

The next day in the morning court, Situ Lin claimed to be ill and did not go to court. As usual, the prince presided over the morning court.

Ever since Situ Lin was drugged by Concubine Chen, his health and spirit were not as good as before. Now that the situation was stable, he let go and left all government affairs to the prince.

There was silence in the entire hall, and the emperor was not seen on the high dragon chair.

Sitting on the jade couch under the dragon chair was Situ Jin. All the officials now knew that the emperor was unwell and that the prince would succeed to the throne sooner or later, so no one dared to question his authority.

"I am waiting to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Situ Lin used Chen Concubine's plot to seize the throne to completely clean up the entire court. Now everyone in the court is united and respects the prince even more.

Situ Jin raised his head and signaled to all the ministers to excuse themselves and ask everyone to start playing according to the script.

But now that the world is peaceful, the morning court meeting is just a formality, and the court affairs will be settled in less than half an hour.

Just when Situ Jin was about to announce his resignation from the court, the Minister of Rites stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the situation in the court is now stable, and the Prince has been in court for many days. I all admire what your Highness has done. But I I have submitted letters many times, suggesting that His Highness the Crown Prince restart the draft system and recruit more people into the harem! However, I have not received a reply from the Crown Prince. I wonder what His Highness the Crown Prince means?"

Situ Jin's eyes darkened, and he smiled and said: "If Gu remembers correctly, since Gu took charge of the government for his father, Yao Shangshu has been sending a memorial to Gu's desk every day, dedicated to admonishing him. I admire Yao Shangshu’s perseverance in recruiting talent to fill the harem, but now that my father is in poor health, I have no intention of wasting too much energy on the harem, so Yao Shangshu should stop thinking about it!”

Yao Shangshu cautiously raised his eyes and glanced at Situ Jin. Seeing that he was still joking, he misunderstood that he wanted to help the emperor get a harem. He couldn't help clearing his throat and started to speak: "Your Highness, the prince, has misunderstood what I meant. The harem that I said means harem." In His Highness's backyard, the draft is not only for the emperor to fill the harem, but also for His Highness the Crown Prince and other princes to recruit concubines. Now His Highness the Crown Prince has only one son, King Jing is not married, and our Xia Zhaoguo's national power is becoming stronger and stronger, both internally and externally. There is peace, and as the crown prince, His Highness should accept advice and do more for the royal family."

Situ Jin smiled and said: "Yao Shangshu's implication is that he feels that life is easier now. The prince Gu is too leisurely. Does Yao Shangshu want to find something for Gu to do to enrich Gu's life?"

Yao Shangshu's face froze. He didn't expect that his kind intentions would be misunderstood by the prince. He hurriedly explained: "I don't dare. I just want to consider Xia Zhaoguo's century-old foundation. Since ancient times, the harem has been closely related to Xia Zhaoguo's founding." Since then, there has never been a prince like you. The backyard is so empty. It really loses the majesty of the Tian family and messes up the etiquette of the ancestors..."

As soon as these words came out, Situ Jin's face turned cold to the naked eye, and even the atmosphere in the entire hall became cold.

Seeing Situ Jin's change of expression, the officials below did not dare to breathe for fear of angering His Highness the Crown Prince.

Situ Jin's eyes stayed on Yao Shangshu for a moment, and he said with a cold smile: "The Shangshu really has good intentions. In order to let the orphans draft, he even brought out the ancestral etiquette."

"Ke Gu has received another memorial in recent days. Yao Shangshu has been addicted to gambling houses in recent days. He has become obsessed with gambling and has lost all his family property. He owes a huge gambling debt and is seeing all his family property being filled. After entering, he still couldn't pay back the gambling debts, and the people in the gambling house threatened to ruin Yao Shangshu's future. Seeing that his future was at stake, Yao Shangshu accepted a lot of bribes and promised those wealthy businessmen to turn their money over to him. His daughter was sent to the East Palace, so Shangshu is eager to force Gu Gu to draft a draft so that those women can be stuffed into the royal backyard. Yao Shangshu, has Gu Gu slandered you in this matter?"

Yao Shangshu was shocked. He had never thought that he was being cautious, but people found out about this matter. Immediately, the blood drained from his face, and he denied it with a pale face: "Your Highness, someone is slandering Wei Chen. Wei Chen I am an honest and honest official, and I will never do such things that corrupt my moral character. Please be careful, Your Highness!"
