Chapter 317 Do You Know? Lin Yitang 31
With Lin Yitang's confirmation, Madam Bai began arranging Lin Jingya's marriage.
After the Bai and Han families complete the betrothal, auspicious date selection, and gift exchange, the wedding will be officially scheduled for September of this year.
With Lin Jingya's marriage settled, Lin Yitang felt much better and turned her attention to the harem.
May is approaching, and the summer heat is intense.
Lady Rong was almost eight months pregnant. Despite all the precautions she had taken, she unexpectedly tripped and fell inside Huafang Pavilion.
Hua Fang Pavilion is under Rong Niangzi's control, but unexpectedly, this kind of oversight has occurred.
A series of roars rang out as Lin Yitang followed the crowd and the concubines to Huafang Pavilion to "join in the fun." After the Emperor arrived, the concubines were all driven out, leaving the Emperor and the Empress to wait for Consort Rong to give birth in Huafang Pavilion.
The Emperor was uneasy and paced back and forth outside the delivery room. He desperately hoped that Consort Rong's child would be a prince, as the Emperor, who was not young, needed an heir.
After a grueling day and night, Consort Rong successfully gave birth to a prince. The Emperor was overjoyed and immediately wanted to promote Consort Rong to the rank of Consort De.
"Good, good, this is a joyous occasion! Your Majesty, Consort Rong has given birth to a prince for me. I wish to promote Consort Rong to the rank of Consort De."
Upon hearing this, the Empress's smile froze. She was already wary of Consort Rong, but she never expected that Consort Rong would be so fortunate as to give birth to a prince, and now she was about to be promoted to the rank of Consort. She had no choice but to be cautious.
"It is right that Consort Rong should be promoted after giving birth to a prince, but Consort Miao has served the Emperor for many years and is raising Princess Fukang. If Consort Rong is promoted, I am afraid that the harem will not be satisfied..." The Empress tried her best to stop her.
"Alright, my mind is made up. Besides, Miao'er is magnanimous and there won't be any problems." The Emperor used the imperial "朕" (zhen, meaning "I" or "I") directly, which shows his dissatisfaction with the Empress.
The Empress almost lost her smile when the Emperor rejected her so bluntly. Her eyes were filled with hostility. In an instant, the Empress regained her composure.
"Since Your Majesty has made a decision, I will naturally follow Your Majesty's arrangements."
The Emperor raised an eyebrow, glanced at the Empress, and was somewhat surprised. He had thought he would have to argue with the Empress again, but it turned out to be so simple.
Seeing this, the Emperor gave the Empress a rare kind look and said gently, "Your Majesty has waited all night and must be tired. Go back and rest early."
After the Empress left Huafang Pavilion, the Emperor happily went to the delivery room to see the young prince and Consort Rong.
Upon receiving the news, Lin Yitang looked puzzled. Didn't Emperor Renzong of Song only have three sons in his lifetime? With Consort Rong giving birth to a prince, history had already changed.
Lin Yitang glanced at Zhao Huiyue, who was running towards her. That's right, history has changed a long time ago, and this world may be the same world as the Song Dynasty.
Returning to her senses, Lin Yitang saw the adorable Zhao Huiyue and smiled. Huiyue was truly an angel baby.
……
The emperor had another son, and some ministers from the previous dynasty became suspicious. More than half of the ministers in the court had some kind of private relationship with the princes of the imperial family.
Regardless of what happened in private, on the surface everyone was happy and joyful, celebrating that the emperor had another heir.
The prince's full moon celebration was a grand affair, and Consort Rong made a triumphant appearance. Having gained power, Consort Rong even provoked Consort Zhang and Empress Cao at the full moon celebration.
The Emperor, not wanting to disrupt the prince's full moon celebration, tried to mediate between the three.
Finally, the prince was given the name Zhao Zhao, which means bright and clear, showing the emperor's expectations for the prince.
He was granted the title of Duke of Fuguo by the emperor at birth, who hoped that Zhao Zhao would enjoy both happiness and longevity.
