Chapter 455: Birth
Shouning grew older and learned to be much more sensible. When he returned to the room, he asked Nianfu, "Auntie, that Miss Kang is just a village mansion and lives in your house. Why are you polite to her?"
Nianfu smiled and touched her head, "You also feel that she is not doing well?"
Shouning pulled up his fat little finger and calculated it carefully for her, "I have been here three times recently. The first time is Mid-Autumn Festival. I came to celebrate your birthday and eat mooncakes. As a result, she asked for a box of mooncakes you gave me, and almost snatched the birthday gift I gave you. The last time it was my mother's mother's house who brought her hometown to the hometown. I specially picked up the good ones for you to deliver. She came to ask for a small dressing box for carved paint. In addition, today, she came to ask for a drink again. Aunt Jinling taught me to see if the person is good, don't listen to what she says, but she should see what she does. She is here to ask for this today and that one tomorrow. She said beautifully, but she has never given us anything. She must not be a good person."
Nianfu amused her, but when he looked at the little fat girl with a serious look, he said, "Aunt Jinling teaches very well, and you learn well. But since you don't like her, why do you ask her to take away the things every time?"
Shouning was stunned and said weakly with a little embarrassed look, "Those things are not too important... If she wants them again next time, I will scold her for you."
"No need." Nian Fu spread his hands and said, "You said, what she wants to go every time is not a very important thing. Like that mooncake, she took a box from you, and then I will secretly supply you? What's the best gift I left behind, and those small dressing boxes were originally for me to give me a gift. What's the point of getting her if she wants one? Besides, there are not many other wines in my house, isn't this less? But I don't give it to her quickly, and I have to ask her to do this every time. If this is too many times, even you are annoying to her. Think about how others will think of her?"
Shouning understood a little, "Is this called a soldier who defeats others without fighting?"
Nian Fu laughed and rubbed her, "It's not bad, he actually knows military tactics. Who taught you?"
Shouning stuck out his tongue and said with a little pride, "It's the father. That day he got the knowledge of several brothers. I happened to hear this. Because I didn't understand, I asked a few questions, which made my father laugh. When Brother Qi left, he secretly gave me a little jade pendant. He said that if it weren't for me, they might have been scolded again."
Speaking of Gao Xian’s recent temper, he is really a bit big. Although Nianfu’s family was not in the court, they also heard a lot from the side.
Many ministers were demoted and some newcomers were promoted.
The party that had been in chaos with the former King of Jin was almost wiped out. Like the Lord Min of the Imperial College, the whole family was confiscated, and even the Concubine Min who married King of Jin was given suicide.
However, the King of Jin escaped death. Because the emperor cared about his flesh and blood, he finally let him go, but he was imprisoned in the King of Jin's mansion, wearing wooden clogs and pounding rice every day, otherwise he would not even have to eat rice.
Nianfu has no sympathy for such a person. As soon as she thinks of Su Cheng's legs, she even thinks he is too lucky.
The princes and princes who were implicated by innocent people were pitiful. Because Gao Xian was so strict, life in the palace was very sad. On the contrary, Shouning, who had practiced in the palace, was not affected at all, which was enviable.
Hui Niang, who was talking about gossip, came back to the palace to pay her respects.
Since the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, no matter whether the elder sister-in-law met or not, she would go to pay tribute every ten days, regardless of whether she was storm or not, and she had won numerous praises. As for how the old aunt was worried and depressed behind her back, Hui Niang ignored it.
"Oh, Shouning is here too? Then I have to stay for a meal today and let your aunt cook. Our family will also have a vegetarian meal with you."
Shouning stood up obediently and saluted, "No more trouble. I have eaten a lot of snacks and I have to go to the palace to pay my respects when I look back."
Hui Niang smiled and said, "Don't go today. Your father has no time to see you. Even the Imperial Concubine is busy."
What's wrong with this?
Shouning was a child after all, and couldn't remember it for a moment, but Nian Fu suddenly said in shock, "Is it the queen going to give birth?"
"Isn't it? I heard that it started to attack early in the morning. I've been busy in the palace these days."
Hey, isn't it right? Nian Fu said, "Don't you say the queen has one month left? Why did you get so much in advance?"
According to the palace rules, concubines of grades were given birth to a family that allowed their mother's family to accompany them. Queen Wang's biological mother was far away from her hometown thousands of miles away. The tribe members in the capital had long agreed to be accompanied by a calm and virtuous old aunt and Wang Xu.
A few days ago, Wang Can's wife Xu came to the house and said that once she entered the palace, it would take at least two months. Please Nianfu would go and see her Baoer when she has time, so as not to lose weight for Wang Can. Why is she going to give birth so quickly?
Hui Niang didn't know it either. In fact, the empress dowager was also very uneasy today. She couldn't ask around in the palace, so she came back after just saying a few auspicious words.
Shouning listened to the sensible saying, "Then I will go back to the temple to recite the Ksitigarbha Sutra for my mother for a few days to bless her to give birth smoothly."
This idea is very good. Nianfu didn't keep her, and even took the money to ask her to light a lamp for the queen to release it, praying for peace. He turned around and sent someone to Wang Can's mansion to ask if there was any place to help.
This waited for a full three days.
It was not until the afternoon of the fourth day that good news finally came out in the palace. The queen gave birth to a fourteenth prince and the mother and son were safe.
Huh! Everyone in the capital was relieved. It was not because they were afraid that there would be no successor in this country, but because the Chinese New Year was about to be over, and no one wanted to make the emperor unhappy.
Knowing that the Queen is safe, Prince Ping's Mansion is not in a hurry to enter the palace to congratulate her. The Queen was born so difficult, but I was afraid she suffered a little loss. If she went there at this time, she would not be able to see the real master.
So their family waited until the 22nd day of the birth of the little prince, and they handed over a letter to ask for a meeting. They quickly approved it. The next day, Nianfu and Hui Niang brought gifts to the palace to congratulate him.
Kang Jierong wanted to take advantage of this again, but Nianfu and his daughter led her into the palace without much care. However, they were stopped at the door of the Queen's Palace.
"The queen's body has not recovered yet, and she is a little unbearable because there are too many people. Xiangjun has received her kindness. This is the queen's reward. Please ask Xiangjun to go shopping elsewhere."
Kang Jierong was so depressed that she was dying. There were three people in total. When they saw them, they thought that one of them was unnecessary. The difference should not be too obvious. In the end, she had to thank her and pay her respects awkwardly to Queen Mother Mu.
Nianfu and his daughter looked at each other, laughed in their hearts, and followed the female official into the queen's bedroom.
On the phoenix bed, Queen Wang recovered well and was in good spirits. Wang Xu was serving her, looking at them and nodding and smiling. She was much thinner, her eyes were hunched over, and she seemed to be very dedicated.
After ceremonials, thanked them, and said a few more words. The queen ordered the wet nurse to carry out the little prince for them to show.
"So cute!" Nian Fu couldn't stand the little soft doll when he saw it, and his eyes shone over and took the child to hug him.
The child just had enough breasts. When he teased her, he immediately burped and vomited on her. Then he blinked his innocent little eyes, as if he knew he had done something wrong. He stared at her blankly.
Nianfu was so funny that she laughed loudly. If she hadn't been afraid of scaring the child and the parents, she really wanted to pinch the child.
"Little bad guy, I vomited all my aunt when I came. Do you want my aunt to hit you ass?"
Seeing her terrible look with her raised eyebrows and threatening her, Hui Niang was afraid that Queen Wang would be accustomed to her and slapped her daughter, "What are you talking nonsense? How can you know such a young child at least? You are not allowed to hit him. Give me the child."
Queen Wang saw that Nianfu really liked children, and did not dislike him for vomiting milk on her body. She smiled kindly, "What's the matter? My cousin is just teasing him, just sit down."
Hui Niang picked up the child, which was much more experienced than Nianfu. She swayed in her arms for a while, and the little guy quickly drooped his eyelids and fell asleep.
He smiled and returned him to the wet nurse. Hui Niang whispered, "Although this child is a little ignorant, I see that he can eat and sleep and his eyes are bright. Such a child must grow fast."
Queen Wang has heard a lot of similar words, but she is not tired of it at all. "Then I'll ask my aunt to say good things. I heard Shouning say that when I gave birth those days, you even lit a light for me and put it on. I'm really interested."
As a mother, she is a kind of virtue and is willing to praise her children. Hui Niang smiled and said, "It's all a little care from Nianfu. Don't be polite, Empress, are you a relative? It's up to you."
Queen Wang looked at Nian Fu again and smiled, her eyes softer and closer.
Nianfu felt a little embarrassed and changed the topic at the right time, "The little prince looks like the emperor. The emperor's cousin should like it very much, right?"
The smile on Queen Wang's face paused, "Do you know that the master of Xiefangzhai gave birth to a princess?"
Ding Baolin? Nianfu shook his head, I really haven't heard of this.
Queen Wang's eyes were slightly resentful, "She had an attack two days later than me. She thought her body was so hard that she was very busy, but she didn't expect it to be very fast, and she came out one hour earlier than Xiao Shisi. When the emperor saw it, she loved it like something, and immediately gave Ding Baolin a rank from the sixth-rank to the third-rank concubine. Xiao Shisi's name was not yet decided, so she first set the title of the princess and called it Changle."
Well, Nianfu understood a little bit why the queen's jealousy came.
The children and grandchildren of the Gao family are sorted by long characters, but all the princesses are not used. Even the princesses of Changguo are named after their fiefdoms. Gao Changle is probably the first among all princesses who are ranked like brothers. This time, Ding Jieyu is also considered to be a mother who is noble because of her daughter.
But no matter what, she is just a girl, why should the queen be petty? It would be better to persuade her, which would be considered as doing some good things for the little girl.
Nianfu thought about it and smiled, "Princess Changle? It's really a good name. May her be happy in this life. Even if she gets married, she can be as happy as her father and mother. But she is not afraid. Even if her husband dares to bully her in the future, she will have a little brother born on the same day to protect her."
Queen Wang was slightly stunned, and looked at her again, and the expression on her face gradually calmed down.
Yes, the princess will eventually get married, and it is also her daughter. She is a mother. If it is said that she is jealous of a concubine's daughter, it is not a glorious thing. Now that the emperor is pampering that girl, why not take the two children to do some things to win the emperor's favor? Queen Wang thought about this festival and smiled more friendly when she looked at Nianfu.
"Every time I talk to my aunt, I always feel comfortable. I will be just like this in the future. In the future, I will still expect my aunt to worry more for us, Xiao Shisi."
Nianfu was slightly shocked. This was too heavy. Is it meaningful?
