Chapter 446: The 4th Prince Wet His Dragon Robe
Chapter 446: The 4th Prince Wet His Dragon Robe
The Huns were located in the north of the Great Zhou, and most of them were cavalry with strong combat power.
Since the new Chanyu ascended the throne several years ago, the Huns have repeatedly violated the borders of the Great Zhou, posing a great threat to the Great Zhou regime!
In recent years, although there have been no large-scale battles between the Great Zhou and the Xiongnu, small wars have continued.
Whether it was the Great Zhou or the Xiongnu, some generals were killed or injured, not to mention the soldiers...
Most of the young sons in ordinary people's families are brought up in pampering, let alone those from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion?
Liu Shizhang is only fourteen years old this year, and he is the legitimate son of the wife of Duke Dingguo! His aunt is the Queen Mother, and his sister is a sister from the same mother, who is the most favored imperial concubine in the six palaces.
One can imagine what kind of life he leads at home.
It is no exaggeration to say that clothes come to you just by stretching out your hand and food comes to you by opening your mouth.
A young man who grew up in luxury like this has probably never even killed a chicken. How could you let him go to the battlefield to fight against the Hun cavalry?
I'm afraid he can't even lift a knife...
It's better to go and die.
The most important thing is... among all the nephews and nephews of the Liu family, the one that the Empress Dowager loves the most is this youngest nephew!
Your Majesty, aren't you cutting out the flesh of the Empress Dowager?
Before the fall of the Zhenguogong Mansion, Duke Dingguo and Duke Zhenguo controlled the court together and did many things that made His Majesty furious. But His Majesty has never been as lenient as he is now, showing no mercy to the Liu family.
Li Changde and Su Quanye both understood that His Majesty was really angry this time.
It seems that the Empress Xianfei and the Fourth Prince really hold a great deal of importance in His Majesty's heart...
Li Changde immediately said: "Yes, I will go and pass on the order!"
Su Quanye had been the chief of the Ministry of Punishment for such a long time that he had long understood that not everyone who suffered injustice in the harem could get the justice from His Majesty.
She has to be a favorite concubine!
After dealing with this matter, Nangong Xuanyu stood up and strode out: "Go to Zhongcui Palace!"
"Yes!"
When the emperor arrived at Zhongcui Palace, Shen Zhinian had just finished dinner and was hugging the Fourth Prince and playing with him.
Fuqiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Nanny Lin is right. Babies in confinement really change every day. It's only been seven or eight days, but I feel like the Fourth Prince seems to have grown up a bit."
The wet nurse was beside him, smiling softly, "The Fourth Prince was truly nursed by me. He is the easiest child to take care of. He rarely cries every day, and he goes to sleep after drinking his milk."
Shen Zhinian gently rubbed the fourth prince's cheek with her fingers: "Our Ah Xi must be good, drink more milk, and sleep more, so that you can grow up quickly."
Little Zhouzi walked in from outside: "Your Majesty, the imperial carriage is almost at Zhongcui Palace."
"understood."
When the other palaces learned that the emperor was coming, they were all overjoyed and prepared to welcome him. But in Zhongcui Palace... from the housekeepers to the eunuchs sweeping the courtyard, everyone had already gotten used to it.
There's nothing we can do about it, it's because Your Majesty comes here too frequently.
Although His Majesty's aura is strong, they are not so afraid of him since they see him every day.
When Nangong Xuanyu came in, what he saw was Shen Zhinian holding the Fourth Prince on the bed, a very happy scene.
The gloom in his eyes suddenly faded a lot, and his brows became much softer.
Everyone knelt down and saluted: "Your servants pay homage to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"
Shen Zhinian also bowed slightly: "Your humble servant ..."
Nangong Xuanyu walked over without looking away, sat down beside the bed, and said softly, "You are still in confinement after childbirth, so there is no need to be polite."
"Yes."
The emperor looked down at the Fourth Prince with a gentle gaze.
The little baby was sleeping soundly, with a faint scent of milk emanating from his body. Nangong Xuanyu felt like his heart was melting.
Shen Zhinian handed the fourth prince over and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you want to hug Ah Xi?"
She doesn't care about the custom of holding grandchildren instead of children.
It is true that a father should be stricter, but does it mean that a father will spoil his son if he hugs him?
Looking back at the dynasties, many emperors killed their sons without mercy or regret. It was because they did not have a particularly deep relationship with their sons.
Shen Zhinian wants Nangong Xuanyu and the Fourth Prince to develop a deep father-son relationship!
After all, this man is still so young, it is impossible that he has only two sons, the third prince and the fourth prince, in his entire life.
No one can predict what will happen in the future, but as long as the Fourth Prince is a special child in the emperor's heart, that's enough!
The emperor had just said in front of so many palace servants that the fourth prince should not be spoiled. But Nian Nian personally handed Ah Xi over, what could he do?
Nangong Xuanyu had no choice but to take it gently.
Nanny Xiao and the others lowered their heads and pretended not to see what happened.
The fourth prince suddenly stretched out his little hand, yawned, and opened his eyes unconsciously.
Nangong Xuanyu asked curiously: "Can the Fourth Prince see me?"
Nanny Lin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, a child of this age cannot see clearly."
Nangong Xuanyu was about to say something when he suddenly felt a warm current...
Then, a faint stench came from the tip of my nose.
Nangong Xuanyu had never experienced anything like this before, and he froze...
Ah Xi, it stinks...
Shen Zhinian naturally smelled the scent as well, but suddenly he felt a little evil and wanted to tease Nangong Xuanyu.
There was a sly flash in her eyes, and she pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
Nangong Xuanyu kept repeating to himself in his heart, they are my own children, they are my own children, I can’t just throw them away.
He handed the fourth prince to the wet nurse and said in a cryptic way: "Ah Xi seems to have...pooped..."
The wet nurses were quite far away just now, but when they came over they also smelled the stench, and immediately took the Fourth Prince downstairs to clean him and change his diaper.
Nangong Xuanyu looked at the dragon robe stained with urine and felt a bit amused: "This child is really brave. He even peed on the dragon robe!"
Shen Zhinian couldn't help laughing: "Like father, like son. Your Majesty is wise and brave, and Ah Xi is certainly brave too."
Nangong Xuanyu snorted: "You are always trying to make up for Ah Xi."
"Will it not be long before my position in your heart falls behind Ah Xi?"
Shen Zhinian really didn’t understand why Nangong Xuanyu felt that he was more important to her than her own flesh and blood?
But this also indirectly shows that her acting skills are indeed good, which is why he always firmly believes that she loves him to the core.
Shen Zhinian looked at Nangong Xuanyu with a smile: "Your Majesty is the emperor, do you still want to argue with a newborn baby?"
"I can't argue with you anyway."
If something like this happened, if the emperor had a cold face, the palace people would definitely be terrified.
But there was only helplessness but no anger on Nangong Xuanyu's face, so everyone's expressions relaxed a little.
Yuan Bao stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I will help you change your clothes."
