When the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were discussing something, Cheng Yaojin's loud voice came from outside. Since his daughter had given birth to a child, as a father, he naturally had to come and see the child. Of course, it was impossible for him to see his own daughter, but it was no problem for him to see his granddaughter, not to mention that Cheng Luan's mother had been waiting for a long time.
In today's era, childbirth has always been the biggest hurdle for women. There are countless cases of both mother and child dying, so the population growth in this era has not been fast enough. Cheng Luan was able to safely give birth to her eldest daughter, which can be considered a victory.
"Your Majesty, congratulations."
Cheng Yaojin has always been disrespectful to Li Shimin, let alone in such a private occasion.
"Zhijie is also happy. It's been a long time since I last drank with you. Today, let's drink a bowl of our Tang Dynasty Tianniang in the East Palace and see who is better."
Li Shimin knew that many people would come to congratulate him in person later, and there would definitely not be any in the East Palace tonight. Instead of going back to guard a deserted palace, it would be better to have a drink with the ministers here. After all, she was his great-granddaughter.
Li Shimin has just issued an edict, canonizing Li Xiang's eldest daughter as Princess of Qin.
This title alone is much better than those of Li Shimin's illegitimate daughters. Li Shimin was previously conferred the title of King of Qin, and now he conferred the title of Princess of Qin on his great-granddaughter. This is indeed much more precious than those people.
This is a bit too much, but Li Shimin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Xiang is the grandson of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The three most prominent people in the entire Tang Dynasty are here, and none of them say anything. Are we going to stand out and seek death?
When this imperial edict came down, many people in the harem inevitably felt uncomfortable, including Concubine Yang who was beside Li Shimin.
After King Li Ke of Shu left the capital, a newborn baby was born in Chengdu. Not only did Li Shimin not give him any title, but his reward was half of what it was before. Including other princes, none of them received such an honor.
Concubine Yang could also feel from this incident that perhaps those people would be the side branches of the Tang Dynasty royal family in the future. Of course, there is a complete difference between the direct line and the side branch.
As Li Shimin expected, within a short time, all the nobles in Chang'an City heard the news and they would naturally come to visit Li Xiang after he returned. However, Li Xiang's eldest daughter was born today, so they might as well take this opportunity to come together. What's more, His Majesty is still in the East Palace. If we don't go and join in the fun, we would be really ignorant.
Looking at wave after wave of courtiers coming to pay their respects, Li Shimin had a smile on his face, but he felt a little jealous in his heart, just like when he was criticized by General Feng Tiance.
Talented people emerge in every generation. The Tang Dynasty must have such heroic leaders generation after generation to enable the Tang Dynasty to continue its development and stand at the top of the world.
After figuring this out, Li Shimin's bad feeling immediately disappeared. He picked up the wine glass and drank to the end with his old brother. Li Xiang was naturally there to pour the wine. When they drank the tenth bowl, Li Xiang refused to let Li Shimin drink any more.
Looking at his grandson's persistence, although Li Shimin looked unhappy on the outside, he was very happy in his heart. If it were someone else, they would have already obtained power and everything. Who wouldn't want you, an old man, to die sooner?
Li Xiang also had a kind touch, which was what Li Shimin appreciated the most. When they drank until midnight, there was a grand fireworks show. No matter how much Li Xiang tried to stop him, Li Shimin still drank the last two bowls and then had someone carry him back to the palace.
The other guests also drank a lot. The entire ninety jars of Tang Dynasty Tianniang were all consumed that night. However, the birth of Li Xiang's eldest daughter was also the happiest thing.
"This day has been truly exhausting, but you have done me a great service. I just can't get enough of this little girl."
Even if Li Xiang was toasting outside that day, he would always find time to run back to see his daughter. He was afraid that the daughter would melt if he held her in his mouth, and fly away if he put her on his head.
"Your Highness has drunk too much. Hurry up and serve him some hangover soup."
Cheng Luan was half-lying on the bed. She was very weak after giving birth. Fortunately, she was the daughter-in-law of the royal family, so she didn't need to take care of the child by herself. Someone had already taken care of her. Otherwise, she wouldn't even have time to rest.
"Your Highness, you cannot stay here tonight..."
When a nanny saw Li Xiang taking off his outer clothes, she came over immediately. Li Xiang thought about it and it made sense. This was also the rule in the palace. After a woman gave birth, she could not have too much contact with Li Xiang within one month.
"Your Highness."
When Cheng Luan saw that Li Xiang was about to get angry, he swallowed the rest of his words with just one sentence.
The maids were also grateful for Cheng Luan's consideration. Given Li Xiang's temper, he would definitely scold her again.
"The palace has its own rules. Your Highness will have to teach others how to break the rules. It's better for Your Highness to go to your other sisters. From the looks of them today, they also want to give birth to a dragon vein for Your Highness."
Speaking of dragon veins, Li Xiang suddenly remembered.
Changsun Pingting...
I received the letter when I was in Fuso, so it should be two months later than Cheng Luan.
This is really the case of being rich and not worrying about descendants. Li Xiang still remembers a joke in the 21st century, which said that everyone's ancestors were rich. If your ancestors were not rich, then you would not even have the chance to give birth to descendants.
Li Xiang was a social animal in the 21st century and had no idea about getting married and starting a family because he had no money in his pocket. But after coming to the Tang Dynasty, he became the third most important person in the dynasty and had children in batches.
In desperation, Li Xiang could only listen to his wife. After going out, he thought about who to go to. In the end, Li Xiang still went into Cheng Ying's house.
Although Cheng Luan did not say it explicitly, Li Xiang also knew that the Cheng family was crucial in his territory. Since no son was born this time, he could only look at Cheng Ying's belly.
Cheng Ying didn't expect Li Xiang to come over, and she didn't sleep much in her room before. However, when she saw Li Xiang coming in, Cheng Ying also served him politely.
Cheng Ying also wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible, so no matter how Li Xiang tormented her that night, she just endured it...
