Chapter 107 Perseverance(1/2)
Qin Xuan grinned and smiled in Ji Xiaotang's arms. He seemed to hear everyone talking, so he screamed twice with "Oh" and "Oh", which sounded like a response.
Such a little guy, no matter what kind of movement or sound he makes, was very cute to people. Zheng Gui immediately praised Qin Xuan for his cleverness.
In fact, this kind of praise is not an exaggeration. After all, the younger the child is, the more he responds to the outside world, the more he is smarter he has. Isn’t that smarter?
Ji Xiaotang himself also thinks that his son is a very healthy and smart little guy.
"It's a pity that I didn't see Yu'er when she was so big. She must be as cute as Xuan'er." Holding Qin Xuan, Ji Xiaotang turned the topic to Qin Yu.
Zheng Gui glanced at Qin Yu, but sighed.
Ji Xiaotang did not ask questions, but waited quietly. She knew that Zheng Gui must have something to say.
"If Yu'er was as healthy and lively as Xuan'er at that time, why would the prince and I have had so much trouble!" Zheng Gui sighed.
"Why, Yu'er was not in good health when she was born?" Ji Xiaotang asked with concern.
"It's all me who are not capable..." Zheng Gui raised his arm and took Qin Yu to his side. His tone was low and gentle, and a faint sadness appeared in his eyes.
"Why did Sister Gui say this?" Ji Xiaotang said immediately, "In my opinion, Sister Gui protects Yu'er well and takes good care of her."
Zheng Gui's eyes raised from Qin Yu and looked at Ji Xiaotang, her smile a little sad.
In Ji Xiaotang's impression, Zheng Gui has always been luxurious, enthusiastic, and smiling. The feeling of sadness seems not to appear on Zheng Gui.
"When I first married the prince, it was not like this..." Zheng Gui told Ji Xiaotang that when she first married into Prince Su's mansion, she was still a young girl, carefully being a young wife in front of Empress Dowager Han.
Her body was originally very good, but she would not have much impact on her body after she was pregnant with Qin Yu.
"At that time, the Empress Dowager was very concerned about me and asked me to go into the palace, either to reward things or to tell me how to do it..." However, the result of Empress Dowager Han's concern made Zheng Gui's body worse and worse.
"Once, I almost couldn't save Yu'er, but the prince was anxious. Later, I hired a famous doctor from outside to save Yu'er and I." It was also since then that Zheng Gui never entered the palace again during her pregnancy.
After giving birth to Qin Yu, Qin Lin and Zheng Gui never brought Qin Yu to Empress Dowager Han.
It was also because of the pregnancy. Qin Yu was very weak when he was just born.
"Sometimes I cried all night, and my heart was broken. I was worried that the wet nurse would take care of Yu'er, so I took care of him myself.? I was still in confinement at that time. As long as Yu'er was a little alarmed, I would wake up immediately. Once, I hugged him and didn't close my eyes all night. At that time, the prince was like me. The people who had to endure weight loss."
Qin Yu is now a completely healthy child. It is the result of Qin Lin and Zheng Gui spending all their efforts to seek medical treatment and meticulous treatment over the years.
Therefore, Qin Lin and Zheng Gui's statement that Qin Yu is in poor health is not groundless.
This explains one of the important reasons why Empress Dowager Han is dissatisfied with her every time they say such an excuse.
Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but be speechless after hearing Zheng Gui's words. While hugging Qin Xuan tighter.
Zheng Gui once revealed little by little before, but today it was the first time that he told the whole truth. Zheng Gui was able to tell the whole truth because Ji Xiaotang gave birth to Qin Xuan now.
"Xiaotang, so I said. I envy you very much." Zheng Gui looked at Ji Xiaotang with his eyes extremely sincere.
Ji Xiaotang smiled and shook his head.
Empress Dowager Han did not do anything during her pregnancy. On the one hand, it was because of Qin Yu's existence, and on the other hand, it was because she was ruthless and had made full use of the scene in front of Empress Dowager Han.
However, Empress Dowager Han did not take action before, which does not mean that he will not take action in the future.
On this issue, she and Zheng Gui do have many common topics to talk about.
"I admire Sister Gui very much. From now on, I will have to learn more like Sister Gui." Ji Xiaotang said slowly.
Zheng Gui smiled.
"This is not difficult. As long as you ignore her, you don't believe whatever she says. Even if you tear your face apart, she can't do anything to you with the current situation. What's the real thing? There's also the prince and me...... If you tear your face apart, everything will be easier in the future!"
Zheng Gui asked Ji Xiaotang to see her example.
"So, I have a lot to learn from Sister Gui." Ji Xiaotang said.
Zheng Gui's eyes at Ji Xiaotang became deeper and more complicated.
"Sister Xiaotang, you are indeed... Is it my sister who wants to admire you."
Immediately, both of them changed the topic tacitly. Zheng Gui had taken care of Qin Yu himself, so she really had a lot of experience in the topic of how to take care of a baby.
Although Mrs. Ji Er has these experiences, Ji Xiaotang still asked Zheng Gui for advice carefully and humbly.
Qin Xuan became tired as the two sisters-in-law spoke like this. He yawned a little in Ji Xiaotang's arms and closed his eyes full.
Zheng Gui and Ji Xiaotang both immediately lowered their voices.
It was not until Qin Xuan fell asleep that Ji Xiaotang asked the wet nurse to carry him to another room. ?
Qin Yu's eyes followed the wet nurse until the curtain fell and could no longer see anything. Qin Yu took back his eyes. Not only did Ji Xiaotang see clearly, but Zheng Gui also saw this.
"Yu'er really likes Xuan'er." Zheng Gui said with a smile.
Qin Yu felt a little embarrassed again.
"Xun'er is very cute." Qin Yu said with a red face.
Zheng Gui smiled for a while before explaining to Ji Xiaotang: "Yu'er also has a few friends who accompany him. In order to take care of him, he finds older than him. He has never seen such a young child, especially as cute as Xuan'er."
"What's that?" Ji Xiaotang also smiled and turned his eyes to Qin Yu, "Let your father and mother give you another brother and sister, and you must be more cute than Xuan'er."
Qin Yu's eyes were shiny.
A trace of gloom flashed quickly in Zheng Gui's eyes, and then he started to laugh.
At this time, a serving person came in from outside and reported that there was an order from the palace.
Zheng Gui immediately looked like "Here. Come, it's true" expression, as if she had guessed the content of the order.
Ji Xiaotang was very calm, just as she and Qin Zhen had discussed before. No one could touch her Xuan'er. Whether inside or outside the palace, he was determined, and the rest was just a soldier who came to block the water and soil.
Ji Xiaotang came forward to receive the order, and Zheng Gui brought Qin Yu with him. They arrived at the front hall, and Qin Zhen and Qin Lin also arrived. Han Yi, Master Ji and Master Ji Er accompanied him to receive the order.
The person who came to announce the edict was still Empress Dowager Han’s confidant General Zhang.
Empress Dowager Han's order was very concise, congratulating Qin Xuan on a hundred days, and said that it was difficult for her to leave the palace in the palace, so she asked Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang to take Qin Xuan into the palace and show her "grandmother".
Empress Dowager Han said that she really wanted to see Qin Xuan.
After General Manager Zhang read out Empress Dowager Han's decree, everyone stood up, and Qin Zhen took over the decree and said that he would bring Ji Xiaotang and Qin Xuan into the palace later.
He said this, and no one present showed any surprise.
Afterwards, Qin Zhen asked General Manager Zhang to stay and drink Qin Xuan's full moon wine.
"The prince's reward should not have been refused. But the empress dowager still has instructions and dare not stay for a long time. She will come to the door another day and congratulate the prince and the princess, asking the prince for a glass of wine." General Manager Zhang smiled and only took the red seal, but did not stay for the wine.
When General Zhang left, Qin Zhen turned his head and told Ji Xiaotang to go back and watch Qin Xuan. He would go to the garden with Qin Lin and a few more. The banquet was not over yet, and the opera was singing at the right time. They were going back and continued to eat and listen to the opera.
As for the matter of entering the palace, Qin Zhen did not mention a single word, as if the order of Queen Mother Han and his personal response were things that had never been born before.
Ji Xiaotang's eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent, and he went back to Shinchuntang without asking anything.
Zheng Gui was very happy, even a little excited, but he didn't mention anything about what happened just now.
When the banquet ended, the guests left in depressed. Only Mrs. Ji was left in the Silent Chun Hall with Ji Xiaotang, and Qin Zhen came back.
Master Ji Er also came with him.
"Prince, what happened to entering the palace?" Ji Xiaotang asked at this time.
"It's okay." Qin Zhen was on the ground and ordered someone to take the sobering wine soup to him and Master Ji Er. "You and Xuan'er are just sitting at home, and I'll go to the palace later."
Ji Xiaotang had long thought that Qin Zhen would respond like this.
"Sister Gui told me a lot of things about the past just now. Did they use this method at that time?" Ji Xiaotang asked Qin Zhen.
"They are too much." Qin Zhen told Ji Xiaotang.
Because Zheng Gui was pregnant, she had a few troubles during pregnancy, and she suspected that it was the move by Empress Dowager Han. Later, she gave birth to Qin Yu and ignored Empress Dowager Han's summons at all.
Qin Lin and Zheng Gui were not like Qin Zhen, and they both refused immediately, because Qin Yu was in poor health and needed a good care.
It seems that Qin Zhen does not intend to use this reason.
"Third brother and the others did that out of helplessness." Qin Zhen drank the sobering soup, his eyes clear and energetic. With his son, Qin Zhen's energy became more and more mature and calm. "We don't have to do this. Moreover, I don't want Xuan'er to have a reputation for being in poor health."
Taking advantage of the excuse of being poor, Qin Lin and Zheng Gui protected Qin Yu's safety, and everyone close to Prince Su's Mansion knew that Qin Yu's body had been well prepared.
But there are still many people who don’t know the truth.
Such a reputation is a kind of protection for Qin Yu, and it will also hurt Prince Su's Mansion and Qin Yu's prestige.
Qin Zhen learned from Qin Lin's lesson, and with the couple Qin Lin and Zheng Gui in front, and Ji Xiaotang cleverly maintained the relationship between Prince An's mansion and Queen Mother Han, their Xuan'er would not have to suffer so much grievances and could also keep peace.
Ji Xiaotang agreed with Qin Zhen’s decision very much.
"This is now. If it were a few years ago..." Mr. Ji Er also drank the sobering soup and said with some emotion.
If Queen Mother Han had covered the sky a few years ago and if Qin Xuan did not let Qin Xuan pretend to be sick, Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang would have to compromise. Even if they were frightened, they would have to take Qin Xuan to Queen Mother Han.
And the current situation is not natural.
Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang are the main figures in this situation, and it is natural to become profitable people now.
Qin Zhen said this, but was not in a hurry to enter the palace. Instead, he talked to Mr. Ji Er about today's banquet and the civil and military officials who came to attend the banquet.
"Han Ge Lao intends to come and see Xuan'er, so the prince should agree." Master Ji Er said to Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen has always respected and filial to Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er. Master Ji Er also knew that Qin Zhen was not arbitrary and did not listen to advice, so he said such advice.
