I thought that the days were going to pass like this, although I was very busy every day, but I was also very fulfilling, and I could dream that I was holding a bunch of gold ingots in my dreams. But something happened in a few days, of course, it wasn't in their house, but in the palace.

Mrs. Chen back then, and now Chen Meiren, the second prince who gave birth to a small body was not very good, and he had a minor illness from time to time. Last time she was on her first birthday, when Jiao Wanwan entered the palace to discuss the first birthday banquet with the Empress Dowager Song, the second prince fell ill, and the queen hurriedly went over to visit, but Jiao Wanwan accompanied Princess Liuhua for an afternoon.

But there are a lot of good things in the palace, the best medicinal materials in the whole Song Dynasty, the best doctor in the Song Dynasty, the ups and downs of the second prince's illness, all of them are just small fights, today is feverish, tomorrow is cold, Jiao Wanwan didn't take it seriously, just regarded it as a delicate child in the palace.

This time is the same, two days ago, there was news in the palace that the second prince had a cold, and Jiao Wanwan also thought that it was the same as before, as long as the doctor saw it, it would be good to recuperate for two days. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, someone came to the palace, and it was the maid beside the Empress Dowager Song.

"The Queen Mother said that there is no need to go into the palace to ask for peace today, something happened in the palace." The maid didn't hide it, and told the matter in detail in 1510: "The second prince burned a little badly, he didn't survive in the middle of the night last night, he went, the official family was in a bad mood today, the early dynasty was stopped, and the princess and mother were at home to raise the fetus with peace of mind, and there was no need to enter the palace for the time being." ”

After a pause, he said: "If the prince is fine, he can go and comfort the official family." ”

"What happened last night?" Jiao Wanwan was a little surprised: "Didn't the imperial doctor guard it?" It's just a fever, it's so strict? ”

"The second prince's body is too weak, he can't stand it, although there is a doctor, but the second prince is young......" The waitress sighed, it is an adult, and there are dead people with fever, not to mention that the second prince is such a child, he can't even speak, poor baba.

Thinking of the well-behaved child in her impression, Jiao Wanwan couldn't help but sigh, about the number of times she was sick, that child was quieter and more well-behaved than ordinary children, which was very distressing. But in the end, it was not her own son, and Jiao Wanwan and Chen Meiren didn't have much friendship, but they just sighed for a while, and they didn't take it too seriously.

Since the Empress Dowager Song said that she was not allowed to enter the palace, then she would not enter the palace. Zhao Defang entered the palace a few times and comforted Zhao Dezhao, after all, Zhao Dezhao is just such two sons, and he is also very attentive to the second prince, but he didn't expect to die early, and it would be a lie to say that he was not sad.

It's just that no matter how sad and sad you are, life still has to go on. With the matter of the second prince, the official family regards the eldest prince as the same as an eyeball, Bai Jieyu has always been unreliable, but in the past, for the sake of her being the biological mother of the eldest prince, the official family is still willing to let her contact the eldest prince. Now, he has assigned a palace to the eldest prince alone, and directly puts the eldest prince under his nose, and the people who serve him are all carefully selected, and they are all the confidants of the official family themselves.

is about pity for Chen Meiren's pain of losing her son, and the official family has promoted Chen Meiren again, from beauty to Jieyu, and Bai Jieyu is on the same level.

Jiao Wanwan is not unappreciative of this matter, her three views are a little different from those of the ancients, especially the people in this palace, if you really want to evaluate, it will be too miserable, except for the Empress Dowager Song, there is no good person. Even Queen Wang, who has always taken good care of her, is not so clean and simple.

Anyway, individuals have their own way of living, and Jiao Wanwan just closes the door and lives her own little life. In the middle of June, the students of the college were arranged to take exams, even if they were girls, the exams were very strict, and those with good grades were rewarded, and those with bad grades were punished.

At the beginning of July, he and Zhao Defang took the lotus to Zhuangzi to live for more than a month. I didn't come back until mid-August, I can't come back if I don't come back, my belly is getting bigger and bigger, count the days, I should give birth in early September, where to give birth to a child in Zhuangzi.

With the first experience, this time the birth was very smooth, from the beginning of the belly attack to the birth of the child, it only took two hours, which was half the time compared to the time when the lotus was born.

Jiao Wanwan and Zhao Defang are both looking forward to being a daughter, but unfortunately, they are still sons. The little guy is exactly the same as when he was born, so ugly that he can't look at it. Even Grass Root quickly turned his head after taking a look, refusing to admit that this was his own brother.

The Empress Dowager Song in the palace was very happy, and the reward was like flowing water, most of which was for Jiao Wanwan's physical care, and the other half was for the children as a private room. Like the weed, the child already has his own treasure trove as soon as he is born.

The child's nickname was given by the Empress Dowager Song, okra, which is more down-to-earth than his brother's name, is a wild vegetable. Jiao Wanwan couldn't cry or laugh a little, but after reading it twice, she also felt that the name was okay, so she recognized it, and it didn't work if she didn't recognize it, could it be that she could still rush to the Empress Dowager Song and say that this name was too ugly?

She is almost two years old, and she can talk a lot, Jiao Wanwan is going to be confined, and when he can't see anyone, he starts crying. Zhao Defang felt sorry for the child, and was reluctant to hand over the lotus to the nurse, so he had to take people with him all day long, even when he entered the palace.

Compared with the eldest prince, the lotus is a bear child, and he has to do his own meals, and he doesn't eat much, but he can spill more than half. Don't walk to the nurse hug, stumble and run can slip, talk also slip up, curiosity is particularly big, catch people to ask why, don't recognize life, not only in the palace of the Empress Dowager Song, see the official family also chattering, but I didn't expect that, like this, but also to please the official family, almost every day to give him gifts, but to give the lotus to the happy, every day I look forward to entering the palace to see his uncle.

Jiao Wanwan sat for forty days this confinement, and when she got out, the weather was already a little cold, and she had to be wrapped in a thick cloak in the morning and evening. Then, Chen Jieyu in the palace was pregnant again, just in case, Hua Rong was also detained, and she didn't enter the palace lightly, and when she entered the palace, she had to follow her step by step, and never approached Chen Jieyu.

Okra's first birthday banquet was not a big one, only Yanqing Zhaoqing Yongqing and the three sisters were invited to have a meal in the palace of the Empress Dowager Song. As always, Queen Wang took Jiao Wanwan to her palace to talk.

Liuhua is already twelve years old, she is a little girl, Queen Wang is asking her to learn housekeeping, the little girl is impatient to learn, she looks at the account book with great bitterness, and when she sees Jiao Wanwan coming, she hurriedly rushes over: "Fourth aunt, you are here, last time you promised me to take me to the playground to play, you shouldn't have forgotten jì, right?" ”

"Where can I forget jì, isn't this here to sue you, and Ming'er will take you there? You should prepare your clothes, you should wear them neatly, don't bring anything else, you can eat for that side, but you should bring two more clothes, and there are things on the water. ”

Jiao Wanwan said with a smile, Queen Wang originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw her daughter's smiling face, she silently swallowed her objections, and when her daughter looked at her, she nodded and responded: "I can go tomorrow, but I have to take the maid and my grandmother, listen to your fourth aunt, and don't walk around at will, you know?" If you are obedient, you can go next time, if you are disobedient, there will be no next time, understand? ”

Liuhua couldn't help but be overjoyed, jumping out of the door happily and looking for someone to pack his clothes.

Jiao Wanwan took the opportunity to sit down with Queen Wang: "I haven't been able to enter the palace during this time, look at your face is good, how are you doing?" ”

Queen Wang personally pushed the dim sum plate to Jiao Wanwan's side: "Naturally, it's very good, I'm not looking forward to anything now, just waiting for Liuhua to reach her age, find her a good family, and wait to hold her grandson with peace of mind." ”

In the words, it is more ...... than before It's a little lighter, I used to be willing to talk about things in the palace, and I was also very concerned about palace affairs, but now I don't even mention it, and I ask more about some pastoral things: "Isn't there a charcoal fire on Zhuangzi?" How do you spend winter? ”

"Naturally, there is a charcoal fire, but it is not as good as it is used in the house, and it has to be extinguished at night, and besides, there are few people and the yang is insufficient, and it is colder than the capital in winter, so if you want to go, it is best to go in summer, of course, if it is a hot spring Zhuangzi, then it doesn't matter what the weather is." Jiao Wanwan said with a smile, and when she saw an embroidery shed on the soft couch, she raised her hand and picked it up: "Liuhua embroidery?" ”

It's a little jerky, but the picture is pretty good.

Queen Wang smiled kindly and gently: "Yes, Liuhua didn't like needlework very much before, and she only started to learn it recently, I am already very satisfied with being able to do this, anyway, I don't need her to be an embroidery girl to make money to support her family in the future, it is enough to be able to twist needles and thread." ”

"If the mother has nothing to do on weekdays, you can go to the academy and audit the courses of our women's college to see if there are any changes to be made, or organize a speech or something." The queen interrupted her: "What speech? ”

"It's to prepare a topic, for example, sister-in-law, what do you think is the most important thing for a girl, why is it important around this topic, how to cultivate this most important quality, and so on."

Jiao Wanwan originally said it casually, but after explaining, she felt that this idea was very good, if the change was to be so subtle, it would not be enough to just attend classes, and a few more speeches could make it more incendiary.

"What if I think a woman's appearance is more important?" Queen Wang couldn't help laughing, Jiao Wanwan hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't, this will bring those little ladies to ruin, make them feel that as long as they look good, they can get the best things, let's be cautious, if the imperial sister-in-law doesn't know what to say, why don't I help the imperial sister-in-law think of a topic?" ”

Queen Wang raised her eyebrows slightly, and Jiao Wanwan smiled cheekily: "I guarantee that the imperial sister-in-law will also feel good, don't force the imperial sister-in-law to say that she doesn't like it, what does the imperial sister-in-law think?" ”
