Chapter 472 Whose Eyesight Is Problematic?
At dawn, Nan Xi was in better spirits and ordered, "Let the nurse bring the child to me."
Rong Yu paused for a moment with an undetectable expression, and couldn't help but worry, would Xi'er be disappointed when she saw the child's appearance?
"What's wrong?" Nan Xi looked at him puzzledly.
Rong Yu shook his head, turned around and ordered Yin Yue to bring the little prince over.
Not long after, Yin Yue brought the little guy who had just fallen asleep from the side hall and placed him next to Nan Xi. The sleeping face of the child looked even more peaceful and harmless, and very cute.
Nan Xi looked at her son's face, and a gentle smile rose unconsciously at the corner of her lips: "My son is really good-looking, and he really looks more like his father."
Rong Yu was quietly watching Nan Xi's expression, fearing that she would be disappointed with her son's appearance. She didn't expect to hear such words, and was surprised for a moment: "Xi'er?"
Nan Xi raised her eyes: "Hmm?"
Rong Yu hesitated: "Do you think he is good-looking too?"
"Of course." Nan Xi said, and couldn't help kissing her son's cheek, "How could our son not be good-looking?"
Rong Yu was silent.
Is it really his eyes that have problems?
"What's the name of the child?" Xuanyuan Xi came over, "Have you two thought about it?"
Rong Yu didn't speak.
"Hao'er?" Nan Xi asked Rong Yu for his opinion, "Use the name 'Xuanyuan Hao' in the royal family genealogy, and call it Rong Hao when you go back to Da Zhou."
Anyway, no matter what it is called, it is her and Rong Yu's child, but since it is going to inherit Dongling Jiangshan, it must be crowned with the surname of the Dongling royal family.
Rong Yu nodded: "I'll listen to you."
Xuanyuan Xi thought about it for a while, but he didn't have any objections. This name was the most suitable for the emperor.
So the name was decided, casually as if it was a simple matter.
On the same day, the imperial edict was issued to establish a crown prince.
…
The empress gave birth to a prince smoothly, and the whole court celebrated. There was a joyous atmosphere inside and outside the palace.
What was even more exciting was that the day after the prince was born, the regent ordered someone to announce the empress's will and appoint the eldest son Xuanyuan Hao as the crown prince to bring peace to the world.
Since the founding of the Dongling Dynasty, this was the first prince who was appointed as the crown prince as soon as he was born, especially since the empress had just ascended the throne - the emperor was only seventeen years old and the crown prince was appointed, which was rare since ancient times.
But the court officials were still happy.
Because the female ruler of the world means something different to them, especially the empress of this generation is weak in temperament, and the power is controlled by the regent, whose power is completely above all the powerful ministers - this is undoubtedly a weakening of power for the major families.
The regent came from the Great Zhou Dynasty, got married first, and occupied the harem alone. The gentle and traditional empress completely obeyed the regent's orders, so that the harem was vacant, and the interests between the monarch and the ministers could not be balanced, which naturally caused dissatisfaction.
But in front of the absolutely powerful regent, almost no one dared to express this dissatisfaction.
Although the enthronement of the crown prince does not mean the transfer of monarchy, it at least adds a psychological expectation and comfort to the ministers, although this comfort is actually meaningless at the moment.
After February, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and the flowers are blooming, and the air is filled with refreshing fragrance.
Her Majesty is weak after giving birth and needs to rest, and all government affairs are fully responsible by the regent.
However, the Regent was also busy, busy taking care of Nan Xi, who was almost always by her side, so Prime Minister Xie, Prime Minister Lu and some central ministers in the court were particularly busy these two days, sharing the worries of the emperor at critical moments and fulfilling their duties, so that the Regent could accompany the emperor with peace of mind and take care of the empress who had just given birth to a prince.
Xie Jin, the most popular person in front of the emperor, directly took the position of the chief steward in front of the emperor, running back and forth, responsible for entering the palace to pay respects every day, reporting government affairs and military intelligence, and occasionally seeing the little prince.
Xuanyuan Hua and Xuanyuan Chen, the imperial study room attendants, were responsible for screening intelligence memorials. Except for some important matters that must be reviewed by the Regent, almost all other matters that could be handled by Xie Jin were pushed to Xie Jin. Those that Xie Jin could not handle were conveyed to his father and the Prime Minister. Xuanyuan Yao communicated and discussed matters in the military camp with Prime Minister Xie - in short, when power was decentralized, if you could avoid bothering the Regent, you must not seek a sense of existence in front of the Regent.
Increasing the chance to show up in an extraordinary period does not mean that you will be promoted step by step. Instead, if you handle things in an orderly manner and let the regent have no worries, you will be appreciated and reused.
Everyone strictly abides by the rules, except Zhan Ruo who does his own thing.
"This little face is so beautiful." Zhan Ruo held the little prince in his arms, and couldn't help poking the little cutie's white and tender face with his fingers, "It's really your Majesty's child. This delicate and noble outline is almost exactly the same as your Majesty's."
In Zhan Ruo's eyes, the child born by Nan Xi naturally looks like Nan Xi, and it has nothing to do with other people.
However, when this was said, the princess was surprised: "Is there anything wrong with the little prince's eyes? Hao'er's facial features are exactly the same as the regent, almost carved from the same mold, noble and natural, how do you think he looks like your majesty?"
Zhan Ruo was silent for a moment. Naturally, he couldn't be too rude to the princess. He just muttered in a low voice: "I still think Hao'er looks like your majesty. The dragon and phoenix are true, and your majesty is a natural emperor. This little prince looks like your majesty, of course he is noble, how can he be noble and natural like the regent?"
Xuanyuan Xi was speechless when he heard this.
How can he be noble and natural like the regent?
This question is so cute. What she meant is that Hao'er looks like Rong Yu, and his nobleness and elegance are just his temperament. What does the Yu Kingdom prince want to refute?
From his tone, it seems that he has some special relationship with Xi'er, but he is hostile to the Regent?
Xuanyuan Xi was suspicious and couldn't help but wonder if the Yu Kingdom prince liked Xi'er and wanted to become Xi'er's husband?
"The little prince does look like the Regent." The nurse smiled and took Hao'er from Zhan Ruo's arms, "But it is more of a fusion of the Regent and the Queen's respective advantages, just like the Princess said, with a natural nobleness."
Zhan Ruo was not convinced: "Obviously he looks like Your Majesty."
The nurse looked at him in surprise, not understanding why his attitude was so strange.
But she was just a nurse, adhering to the rule of doing more and talking less, and took the little prince to feed behind the screen.
Zhan Ruo actually wanted to come and see Nan Xi, but Nan Xi was in confinement, so it was inconvenient. He could only come and see the little prince every day to comfort him.
The side hall was separated from the main hall by only a door. Rong Yu could hear Zhan Ruo and the wet nurse talking clearly, but he didn't react.
Instead, Nan Xi laughed: "Is there something wrong with Zhan Ruo's eyes? Hao'er obviously looks more like you. My mother and the wet nurse said so. I also think he looks like you. But he always insists on his own opinion and insists that he looks like me."
