Chapter 86, the second princess
The news of the queen's safe birth arrived at the Old Summer Palace in the evening of the second day.
At the beginning of the seventeenth day of July in the third year of Qianlong, Empress Fucha gave birth to the second daughter of Emperor Qianlong in the main hall of Changchun Palace, and she was also the eldest daughter.
was really told by Concubine Xian's original crow's mouth, and the queen gave birth to a princess.
When the news came, the emperor was in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion of Mingming, and the emperor himself made a painting, painting the scenery of Penglai Fuhai Sea, and asked Mingming to give an inscription, because the painting was Penglai Fuhai under the moonlit night, and Mingming replaced Nalan Rongruo's "Picking Mulberries": The bright moon should laugh at me and laugh at me now. Live up to the heart of spring, wander alone and chant alone. Recently, I'm afraid to talk about current events, and I'm all over the place. The moon is shallow and the light is deep, where to find the clouds in the dream?
The emperor laughed and took her in his arms, "Ming'er is pouring out her feelings to me again?"
Hao Ming couldn't wait to roll her eyes at that time, she just couldn't think of the poems next to her for a while, so she wrote the words of her uncle and grandfather! That's right, Nalan Mingzhu is her great-grandfather in this life, and her grandfather is the younger brother of Nalan Rongruo's mother.
It is rare to have some gratitude for the news of the safety of the queen's mother and daughter, but it has relieved the embarrassment of the humming.
Regarding the matter of having more than one daughter, the emperor's reaction was very cold, "Got it." -- I just gave these three words like gold.
Perhaps it should be said that the ancients were patriarchal. He smiled and said: "Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there have not been many princesses. The emperor should prepare more silk treasures to reward the queen's mother. ”
The emperor said lightly: "Just ask Wu Shu to come and prepare some!"
Tell the minions to do this kind of thing. It's really a shame that he can do this kind of thing, so he complained silently, and asked, "When does the emperor plan to return to the palace?"
The emperor glanced at her: "What's the hurry, let's wait for the weather to get cold!"
The corners of his mouth twitched. "But...... The second princess is just washing the third, you should always go back to the full moon, right?" - Although the princess is not more expensive than the elder brother, this is a princess who is born after all!!
The emperor said lightly: "Just ask the Queen Mother to do it! It's just a girl, do you have to go back to celebrate in person?!"
Hao Ming had a headache when she heard it, if she didn't even go back when the moon was full, and she was the most favored concubine when she was in the Old Summer Palace, if the queen thought that she was entangled with the emperor. If you don't let the emperor return to the palace, it will be a big deal.
He bit his lip and said, "Your Majesty...... Isn't that right?" - Whether you are a husband or a father, this guy is definitely unqualified!!
The Emperor was a little impatient. He waved his hand and said, "There is no need to mention this matter again!"
The head is as big as a fight, and the emperor's temperament is really blindly following his heart. Now he is spoiled with her on the surface, but he doesn't think about her from the depths. Maybe it's because of the habits of creatures like the emperor.
It's just that he can't really let the emperor leave the queen and the newborn second princess behind. The next day, she was coquettish again. Only then did the emperor allow her to consider the reward of the three baptisms for the second princess. He was not polite, anyway, he used the things in the emperor's private treasury, and he estimated that the emperor was reluctant to touch those calligraphy and painting antiques, so he selected a lot of colorful satin clothes, magnificent jewelry and precious nourishing ingredients in the emperor's imperial dining room and put together two large boxes, when the list was drawn up, the emperor was deflated, and said half angrily: "It's only a princess, so generous." It's too much!"
Bo Ming glanced at him: "This is not for outsiders, to baptize your daughter." What's the point of being heavier?"
The emperor only smiled helplessly, and ordered his subordinates to send something back to the palace.
However, such a generous gift can be regarded as a face for the queen, I hope that when the queen is happy, she will not care about her special favor in the Old Summer Palace. It's just that in private, I still have to rack my brains and persuade the emperor to return to the palace before the full moon of the second princess.
Probably the emperor was annoyed by the rumors, and the emperor was finally willing to drive back to Luan two days before the full moon of his daughter. The heart was finally put in the stomach.
But where is Concubine Hui...... She herself wanted to go back with the emperor. But the emperor left her in the Old Summer Palace on the grounds that she had not yet been in the womb for three months and was still unstable.
Hao Ming couldn't help but shake her head, Concubine Hui was really confused, if she was replaced, she would definitely die in the Old Summer Palace. is pregnant, it is not good to stay in a clean place to raise the baby, and I have to go back to the Forbidden City, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to give birth to a child. The emperor was sober, so he let Concubine Hui be coquettish in every way, and still left her behind.
On the day of returning to the palace, it happened to be the August 15th of the third year of Qianlong, the Mid-Autumn Festival with two full moons. Outside the gate of the Old Summer Palace, the emperor's Luan Yu honor guard was already in the soup, and Concubine Hui insisted on ignoring the dissuasion of the imperial doctor, and had to come to see off the emperor.
The emperor looked at Concubine Hui's thin figure and said, "Go back and raise it!"
Concubine Hui bit her lip, looked at the emperor with reluctance, and said softly: "When the concubines are stable, the emperor must send someone to take the concubines back to the palace!"
The emperor frowned, as if he was a little helpless, and said, "Got it." Leaving these three words, he turned to Emperor Luanyu.
Hao Ming looked at Concubine Hui's pretty white face with affectionate gaze, and suddenly had a bad heart, stuck out her tongue at her, and made a grimace. Suddenly, Concubine Hui's cheeks flushed, and she seemed to be angry, "You-"
Bo Ming waved at her, fluttering his eyebrows, and said to her, "Goodbye!" and took the back of Xu Jinlu's hand and quickly got into the warm sedan chair at the level of his concubine, but he saw the emperor's dragon face with the corners of his mouth twitching.
Ming Ming was very embarrassed, but fortunately, the emperor should only treat her as "naughty" just now, so he didn't get angry. Hao Ming was also relieved, and a bone got into the autumn-scented warm sedan chair embroidered with Luan patterns.
Until the afternoon of this day, Hao Ming finally returned to Chuxiu Palace, which had been absent for several months. only to find ...... The rough eunuchs and palace maids in Chuxiu Palace have changed several new faces. After asking, I realized that it was the emperor who privately ordered someone to change it.
Hao Ming secretly thought about it, and knew that as a newcomer who had just entered the palace, how could there be no nails in his palace? The emperor actually helped her remove the nail with his own hands, and she was secretly grateful.
He instructed Banxia to serve her to change her clothes and change into a slightly more festive flag uniform. went to Changchun Palace to greet the queen. She has already returned to the palace, so naturally she has to go to see the queen first.
The sun was fine today, and although it was already August, it was still very warm. There are two more blooming osmanthus flowers under the verandah of Changchun Palace, all of which are planted in the bucket color vat, one golden osmanthus, one osmanthus, and one golden one. A plant blooms red and lush, and the fragrant fragrance comes from the surface.
The queen's henchman Mama Chen came out to greet her in person, "Concubine Shu came by coincidence. Concubine Xian is also talking to the queen inside. ”
Concubine Xian is also there? I'm afraid I'm here to laugh at the queen for giving birth to a daughter, right? I thought secretly in my heart, so I didn't hurry into the palace, and the queen was confinement in the warm pavilion inside, and she was crooked on the couch. On his shoulders was a big red cloak of Danfeng Chaoyang. Yu Ming looked at the familiarity, and thought to himself, isn't this the reward of the second princess's baptism? That is still the makeup satin she personally selected! I didn't expect the queen to get on so quickly.
After giving birth, she has been raising for so many days, and the queen's complexion is not bad, with a soft satin inlaid with eastern pearls on her head, and her face plate is also a little more idle. Ming Shi Shi stepped forward and curtsied, "The concubine has returned, and I have come to greet the queen." Niang Niang Wan Fu Jin'an. ”
The queen raised her hand and smiled very kindly: "Get up." ”
Mingming got up. Seeing the concubine sitting on the queen's bedside pastel flower and bird embroidery pier with a luxurious appearance and a head full of pearls, she was busy and said: "Concubine Xian Niang Jin'an." ”
Concubine Xian nodded slightly, "Concubine Shu came so quickly." I just went back to the palace today, why don't you have a good rest?"
Yu Ming hurriedly smiled and said, "The concubine wanted to see how cute the second princess from the queen mother was, so she came over." ”
The queen was very satisfied with this remark, so she instructed Mama Chen: "Go and bring the second princess." ”
The second princess is still full moon in two days, and now she is still a little shrunk in goose yellow makeup satin swaddling clothes, still asleep at the moment, her little skin is so thin that it is almost transparent, and there is a little bit of red from the mother's womb, which is very cute. When he saw it in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel joy in his eyes. Regardless of her mother, the child was truly adorable.
Concubine Xian said with a smile on the side: "Sister Shu looks at the second princess who likes the queen's mother very much. ”
Hao Ming hurriedly said: "The second princess is so lovely, the concubine naturally likes it." ”
The queen smiled, probably thinking that Ming's performance did not seem to be a fraud, so she said: "If you like it, you can give birth to one yourself!"
Hao Ming hurriedly said softly: "If you can give birth to a cute and intimate little padded jacket like the second princess, the concubine will be content in this life." ”
Concubine Xian's eyes sparkled, "Concubine Shu is young, why can't she have a child." With the emperor's favor for his sister, he can't say that he is a princess, even if he is an elder brother, he can be born. ”
Hao Ming secretly took a look, and sure enough, the queen's face was not as gentle as just now, and even her eyes were a little guarded. Hao Ming was secretly annoyed in his heart, Concubine Xian was really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and hurriedly said: "Concubine Xian Niangniang is really far-reaching. It's just that the concubine has always been blessed, this time in the Old Summer Palace, although the emperor pity, but the pregnant one is Concubine Hui, and the concubine is disregarded by the emperor. ”
In such a situation, the roar can only lead to disaster.
The look in the queen's eyes was much gloomy, but she said kindly: "Yes, Concubine Hui is a blessed person, she is really at the right time for this birth!"
Humming bowed his head and said, "But there is such a thing." That's why the emperor left Concubine Hui to raise a baby in the Old Summer Palace. Immediately, he smiled and said, "It's just that Concubine Hui herself doesn't look very happy." ”
The corners of Concubine Xian's lips hooked up a sneer of disdain, and she looked at Ming's deferential appearance again, so she provoked and said: "This palace heard from the servants below, it was because Concubine Shu pushed Concubine Hui into the water that Concubine Hui was unstable?"
Hao Ming immediately stiffened his neck and said: "How can the rumors of the slaves below be taken seriously? What happened to the Penglaifu beach that day, the concubine has a clear conscience!!"
Jiang Ming was so tough, Concubine Xian couldn't help laughing: "This palace is just asking casually, but it makes you unhappy, sister." ”
Hao Ming saw a blessing to the queen and said, "The mother is still doing confinement, so the concubine won't bother much." ”
The queen bowed her head slowly, and then instructed Mama Chen to send her out of Changchun Palace. (To be continued......)
