78, wash three
There was a little prince suddenly in the palace, so naturally some were happy and some were sad.
What was happy was that the emperor, the queen mother and others, one was glad that the descendants had a settlement so that the court officials would not urge them day and night; the other was proud to enjoy the joy of grandchildren - although Queen Mother Jiang had already had Liu Yun's heart and soul, the grandson always had more and better.
As for those who are worried about this, there are countless people. Except for the Jiang and Feng family, who would be more arrogant concubines, who would want to see others step on their heads? Besides, the old people were silent and unknown, but they would have been overwhelmed by the light of a newcomer? As a woman, the Xia family was not very outstanding.
He was granted a title as soon as he gave birth to a child. If this continues, I am afraid that the title of concubine will be just around the corner.
Jiang Yingyue asked someone to find a long-lived lock with red gold embedded in red treasures, "She is a blessing, please send this to her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Bilan entered the door with a cold face, "I remember this is the relic left by your mother to you, why are you willing to give it to others now?"
Her mother was originally a weaver girl in the embroidery workshop. She worked hard all her life, and she was so tired that she didn't save much body. She had a few thoughts in total. Jiang Yingyue had always seen it like a pearl and a treasure, but she didn't expect her hands to loosen her now.
Jiang Yingyue smiled slightly, "Sister knows, I don't have many good things, that's too ordinary, and it feels so ugly when I send it out. I have to take out some goods from the bottom of the box, and I can't even wipe out the little prince's face."
Jiang Bilan asked the maid to put the longevity lock back, but said angrily: "Okay, don't beat the swollen face here and make you fat! I don't know you yet, you're living a tight life, so how can you have free money to perfunctory? I will ask someone to prepare your gift for you and send it to Guanju Palace together, so you won't have to worry about it."
After all, Jiang Bilan didn't want her to be too shabby. Moreover, Jiang Yingyue said that she would help her a lot in recent years. Just a mere gift, Jiang Bilan was still happy to help her.
But seeing Jiang Yingyue flattering Xia Tong and her children so much, Jiang Bilan was a little disliked, "Talk about it, you are also a concubine, and now you are holding a phoenix seal in your hand. Although Xia has been promoted, she is just a Zhaoyi. Why should you be afraid that she will be like this?"
"Sister, do you remember that I was named Zhaoyi in the first place? Now I have become Shufei," Jiang Yingyue smiled. "With Xia's favor, I will be ranked higher than me in the future, let alone she has children."
"Besides, even if I am not afraid of her, I have to take care of Your Majesty's face. Your Majesty named the child Dun, what does it mean to me?"
Jiang Bilan has never tried his best to write poems and books, so he naturally didn't bother to pay attention to it, "Isn't it just a gentle and honest meaning."
It’s rustic, according to her, if this child is determined to be enterprising, then he will be considered a big concern.
Jiang Yingyue shook her head, "Sister is wrong. The character Dun is still meaningful. It is an instrument that can feed millet and sorghum in ancient times. The country, what is your majesty's intention? Can't you still understand it?"
Jiang Bilan's face indeed changed color, "Is that true?"
She had already believed in her heart. This gangster girl has always been well-read, so naturally she didn't need to mess with her. Jiang Bilan decided to let the maid look through the dictionary when she went back to see if the emperor really had this meaning - what he wanted to do, is a newly born child planning to inherit the throne? She is not afraid of dying halfway!
Seeing that his sister gritted her teeth, Jiang Yingyue sighed softly: "I know that my sister has always wanted to have a child who is not willing to adopt others. But have you ever thought that Your Majesty may not be unwilling to have children, but that he cannot have children?"
Jiang Bilan's face was really like a ghost now, "What nonsense? Absurd!"
But when you ask yourself, is it really absurd? No, what the other party said may be reasonable. Jiang Bilan once heard an aunt and grandmother in her family say that sometimes the difficulties of children are not only due to women, but also possible that the man has poor kidney water and poor semen. Now, thinking about it, it is in line with the situation of the emperor, otherwise why would this man not see him for a long time?
As for why Xia Tong had it easily - it can only be blamed for this fox beauty's luck. Maybe the emperor happened to use it to cover up his shortcomings, so he stayed with her during his pregnancy. After Xia Tong became pregnant, he immediately named Zhaoyi, which was also the emperor urgently needed to consolidate the status of this child, for fear that this was his only piece of bone and blood in this life.
Jiang Bilan's imagination became more and more enigmatic, and she became more worried about herself: she originally wanted to have a child of her own, but the emperor was actually a silver-like gun head, which was not useful, so how could she accomplish anything?
Will this palace become Xia Tong's world in the future?
Jiang Bilan said angrily: "No, I can't let that fox charmer succeed!"
Jiang Yingyue looked at her carefully, "What do you plan to do with your sister?"
Jiang Bilan remembered Empress Dowager Jiang. In fact, as early as when this group of newcomers entered the palace, Empress Dowager Jiang suggested that she take her arms so that she could use her children for her own use in the future. Wang Jingyi made this plan.
But at that time, Jiang Bilan was too proud and thought about being favored by herself and did not intend to have children from others at all. Unexpectedly, she was reckless and developed a strong enemy for herself.
Fortunately, it is not too late to fix the dead now.
Dundu's Three-Bathing Ceremony was held in Qianyuan Hall. Because Guanju Palace had not been cleaned up and there was a bloody and stuffy smell everywhere, Xia Tong felt panic and naturally did not want the child to feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, the emperor also intended to make his son famous and brought him to Qianyuan Hall, which could demonstrate his status.
Although Xia Tong was worried that Mu Xiu was in the forest, Dundu, as the first child born in the palace and a male child, was destined to receive more praise and criticism. Only by getting used to it since childhood can he gradually distinguish right from wrong and not be troubled by external things.
Xia Tong is still in the confinement period, so of course she cannot go to watch the ceremony in person.
But when she thought about the scene, Xia Tong felt that her back was sweating heavily and she was extremely nervous. She had to ask Chunlan to wipe her back with a hot towel.
During confinement, Xia Tong didn't even dare to wash his hair and take a shower. She felt so bored that it was really hard for women in ancient times to persevere. But considering that there was no hair dryer and electric heating, this seemed to be the most beneficial method for mothers.
Xia Tong had no choice but to follow the customs.
Chunlan carefully wrung the hot towel and slowly wiped it along the waist to her shoulders and neck. She was careful not to let the clothes get too much wind. She smiled and said, "When the Empress was sleeping, it was your Majesty who wiped you personally. I have been worrying about it."
Xia Tong was surprised, "He?"
With the emperor's hand strength, it must be similar to cupping, which Xia Tong could not imagine.
Chunlan shook her head, "No, Your Majesty treats you so gentle and careful. She is as if she touches a piece of tender tofu and is afraid of breaking it. We are frightened when we watch."
Judging from her starry eyes, it was obvious that the emperor had become an extinct good man in her eyes.
Xia Tong wanted to laugh a little. Of course the emperor was very good, but she always felt that the purpose of this person getting close to her was not very simple at first, and it made it difficult for her to completely take down her guard. However, life is not that the matter. In the final analysis, they are just a pair of suitable work partners, or an unequal status. It is enough for her to do her job with peace of mind. As for the rest, she has neither the energy nor the brain to guess.
Chunlan was about to tell her that the emperor specifically ordered the lights to turn off that day so that she could sleep soundly, but before she could finish her words, Qiuju came in with a panic look on her face.
Both hands are empty.
Chunlan immediately stepped forward and asked, "Where is the little master? Why are you back by yourself?"
Xia Tongyi frowned. Could it be that Qiuju lost Dunun? She shouldn't have been so careless, let alone Dunun can't walk or speak. Where can she go alone?
Qiuju lowered her head, "It was taken away by Madam Chang beside the Empress Dowager."
She could see clearly at that time, but there were many people in the palace, and there were several plump palace maids blocking her. They couldn't catch up with her. After she finally got out, she found that Madam Chang was gone.
When he was about to go and tell the emperor, but the emperor was still in the front hall to socialize guests. Qiu Ju, a maid, couldn't squeeze in, so he had to come back first to report.
Chunlan stopped talking after hearing this. If someone else was there, she would stop her. Could her grandmother still stop her if she wanted to see her grandson?
But Empress Dowager Jiang didn't discuss it with Empress Zhaoyi and just carried the child over as if nothing had happened. It would be a bit too domineering.
Xia Tong was relieved when she learned that it was the person in the Empress Dowager's harem. She believed that Empress Dowager Jiang would not hurt the child, but was this mother-in-law holding other goals?
Neither of the two Jiang women, Guifei and Shufei, had nothing to do. If Empress Dowager Jiang wanted to hand over Dun Dun to her niece to raise it, it would be very likely.
Although Xia Tong was not happy, she was still in the puerperal period and couldn't take good care of herself, let alone taking care of her children. If she went to argue with Empress Dowager Jiang at this time, she would be afraid that she would be blocked after a few words.
It seems that I have to wait until I finish confinement.
The master and servant just looked at me and I sat in me. Until the sun sets westward, Ningshou Palace still didn't move at all. Chunlan couldn't sit still, "Empress, let me ask."
Qiuju also raised her hand enthusiastically, "I'll go too."
The guilt inside her made her full of fighting spirit. She tried to offend her ancestors, and she had to find a way to bring her little master back.
Even though she knew that it was a dragon and tiger den, these two girls were moving forward. Xia Tong felt grateful that she had obtained a pair of loyal servants, but she also knew that if Empress Dowager Jiang insisted on detaining her grandson, she would definitely not be able to persuade the Empress Dowager just by Chunlan Qiuju - she was afraid she would be kicked out before she entered the door.
Just as they were about to persuade them to give up their thoughts, they discussed a safe idea carefully, but suddenly they heard a footprint of tapping outside, and Liu Zhang stepped into the door lightly, with a graceful and smooth rhythm as waltz.
Xia Tong saw the bright red swaddle clothes in his arms at first sight, and immediately reached out with his hand in surprise, "Dundun!"
Liu Zhang personally put the baby in her arms and joked: "I knew you would be worried."
So, he went to the Empress Dowager's harem to get the child back? Xia Tong thought he would not worry about this.
He said in a fake manner: "Actually, it's nothing to let the Empress take care of him. Why should you do this for nothing?"
Liu Zhang saw through her hypocrisy at first sight and said, "Okay, I'll let Dunun and his grandmother reunite."
Xia Tong hurriedly hugged the child and hid to the side, not daring to show off any more. Baba asked, "Why did Your Majesty tell the Empress?"
Why did the Queen Mother let go so easily?
Liu Zhang said: "I am not the kind of person who likes to be stingy. Because the Queen Mother is sick, she wants to compassionate the child's joy and heal faster. I just said it straightforwardly, aren't you afraid that Dundu will live your illness? The Queen Mother regrets giving the child to me."
Xia Tong:...
