Chapter 1964 Child Marriage (5)
In a few months, it will be the wedding day of Princess Jingyang and the King of Chu. Although Wanyan Jingchen disliked this restless cousin, he still gave her enough face for his mother's sake, and the dowry was more generous than that of a princess.
There was no princess in Qingluo Kingdom, and because Xiangyun's third child was a son, Wanyan Jingchen treated this cousin as a princess.
Xiangyun was naturally very upset because she didn't give birth to a daughter, but there were also people who were distressed because of giving birth to a daughter.
This was the queen of Xianbei, Chao Gui. She gave birth to a beautiful daughter, but in the royal family, giving birth to a daughter was not a good thing, because the throne was always inherited by the prince, and there was no place for daughters.
Fortunately, the king of Xianbei Kingdom has fallen in love with Chao Gui. Although she gave birth to a daughter, he still treated her as well as before, and made her pregnant again after she rested for a few months. This time, Chao Gui put a lot of hope in her. She kept praying, hoping that she could get what she wanted and have a boy in one fell swoop.
Now, the Khan of Saknu of Liaodan has a legitimate son, the emperors of Qingluo and Dajin also have legitimate sons, and even the Khan of Mengnu has a legitimate son, but she has not given birth to a legitimate son for her husband. How can she not be anxious?
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. The corn and sorghum planted by the people had matured. The golden corn was large and full, hanging heavily on the corn stalks, and the red sorghum was pressed so that the sorghum stalks were bent down, which looked very pleasing.
This was a bumper year, and almost everyone's face was filled with joy and happiness.
Now, seeing such a bumper harvest, everyone was relieved and grateful to the emperor and the court from the bottom of their hearts.
They knew that the emperor and the queen loved the people like their own children and would never deceive them.
Whether His Majesty was as henpecked as the legend said, no matter how afraid of his wife he was, and no matter how manly he was, it was nothing for the common people. As long as the emperor can feed them and let them live and work in peace, he is a wise ruler.
At least, since the current emperor ascended the throne, their lives are indeed better than usual, and there has never been any excessive taxation or waste of money.
The emperor even often orders to reduce rents and taxes, and to establish nursing homes and free schools across the country. What reason do they have not to thank the emperor?
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, two major and minor events happened.
First, the Princess Jingyang of Qingluo State married to Dajin as promised. When this prominent princess saw her husband who was fat and mediocre, she almost fainted. This pig walking on two legs was too different from the husband she imagined in her mind. She wanted to die, but she would not really seek death. After all, it is better to live than to die. Now that the matter is done, she had to accept it...
Another thing is that Fei'er gave birth to a lovely daughter. Mo Ziqi loved her so much that he couldn't bear to leave her for a moment. Fei'er was also very happy. Only her parents-in-law were a little disappointed. They hoped to get a big fat grandson, but they gave birth to a granddaughter. However, after the disappointment, they soon returned to normal.
Anyway, Fei'er is still young, and there are many days to come. Sooner or later, she will give them a grandson.
Although Madam Liu and Duke Liguo also hoped that Fei'er could give birth to a boy, the gender of a boy or girl is determined by heaven and cannot be forced. Perhaps God saw that the Duke Liguo's mansion was too powerful, so he gave them some extra people.
The Duke Liguo's mansion already has a fourth-generation boy, so it's not too bald. With the great-grandson of the eldest son, it can also stop the gossips from the outside world...
Therefore, the Duke Liguo's old couple quickly accepted the fact that Fei'er gave birth to a daughter and began to welcome this new life...
