"Jiang gave birth to a son?" The queen didn't sleep well last night, and when she woke up in the morning, her mood was not very smooth, and when she heard the news from the palace people, she was even more unhappy, "Born last night?" "This's luck is too good!

The palace people spied on her face, and said cautiously: "I was born this morning...... I heard that she was born at dawn, and the emperor was happy, and he had already given him a name, called Shen Xu.

"Given a name?" The queen is really even more unhappy, "The emperor is interested in this nephew, Da Lang is not famous yet, why doesn't the emperor care about this?" ”

The palace people hurriedly said: "The emperor also gave the eldest prince a name, which is a Hui character." ”

The palace people thought that the queen would be happier when she heard this, but they didn't expect the queen's face to stretch longer: "It's really a blessing for the son of the Jiang family, and it actually makes our eldest man famous." One Xu, one Hui, are really brothers. "The rising sun. The Hui is the meaning of the sun. Judging from the name alone, it looks like a brother.

The palace people didn't dare to say a word anymore, kneeling on the ground in a cold sweat, and it was easy to see the queen waving her hand, as if she had been pardoned, and hurriedly withdrew. When he arrived outside the hall, he wiped his sweat and whispered to his companions: "But I'm scared to death, and I should be beaten again." ”

The companion on duty with her is an elderly palace man, who has been in the palace for more than ten years, and he was old enough to leave the palace, but he stayed because his family had died. There are no relatives, but they are the closest to their companions, and they sighed when they heard this: "Niangniang is unhappy these days, and the princess of Bi'an County has given birth to a son......"

Promoting Lu Jieyu to Xiuyi, although it was the queen's own proposal, was reluctant after all. was already unhappy, but the rival gave birth to a son with good fate, so he was naturally even more unhappy. The most unhappy thing is that the emperor seems to be more concerned about this nephew than his own son, if he hadn't named his nephew, I'm afraid that the little prince would not have a serious name by now.

The young palace people couldn't understand: "The emperor obviously doesn't like the king of Anjun, why is he so ...... to this little prince"

"Shhhhh You should always know that the emperor has always had a good impression of Princess Anjun, if it weren't for Jiang Baolin who entered the palace first...... "It's okay to say that a pair of sisters is acceptable, but if all three sisters in the family enter the palace, it won't be decent."

This young palace man knew, but he didn't understand: "Why is the emperor so concerned about Princess Anjun?" "Princess Anjun was born beautiful, but there are many beautiful women in the palace, and there are a few who are not inferior to her, but I don't see how much the emperor likes it?

People have a little bit of psychology, and if they don't say what they know, they always feel itchy in their hearts. The elder palace man looked around, dragged the young palace man to the corner and walked again: "I'll tell you about this, it's good that you know it in your heart, and pay attention not to make taboos in the future, but you can't tell others again." "After all, I have a friendship with living in the same room, and a warning to her is also a matter of accumulating virtue.

"Princess Anjun, she is a little similar to the late eldest princess."

This sentence is enough to explain many things. The eyes of the young palace people widened: "Is that the one the emperor married before he ascended the throne?" ”

"It's not that one." The elder palace man sighed, "It's also unlucky, I can be a queen when I see it, but ...... Later, when the emperor saw Princess Anjun, didn't he empathize? Who knew that Princess Anjun offended the Queen Mother again and was pointed out to King Anjun. ”

The young palace people couldn't understand: "I heard that Princess Anjun treated the Queen Mother for malaria, why did she become an offended mother?" Besides, offended the mother, but became the princess of the county? In this way, she also wanted to offend the Queen Mother once.

The elder palace man sighed: "You really don't understand anything. Haven't you heard of Cheng Enbo? The Queen Mother always felt that Princess Anjun didn't try her best to treat Cheng Enbo, so didn't she hold a grudge? Besides, being the princess of the county - what is a good thing for you to be the princess of the county, haven't you heard that the life of the Marquis of Dingbei is not good now? In the future, the king of Anjun is not sure. The Queen Mother asked her to be the princess of the county, which is equivalent to cutting off her way into the palace. ”

The young palace people seemed to understand what they didn't understand, and muttered: "How did the Queen Mother know that Princess Anjun didn't do her best?" "Nothing else, how is this article convicted? It's not that other imperial doctors, even the hospital envoys failed to cure Cheng Enbo, or did Princess Anjun take action so that Cheng Enbo could walk around like a good person?

The older palace people were also a little speechless, and only after a while did they say: "Anyway, the Queen Mother thinks so...... this kind of thing, it is a crime that you want to add, there is no excuse, whether this disease can be cured, anyway, there is no evidence."

The young palace man opened his mouth for a while, but in the end he didn't speak, only sighed - Princess Anjun, it's not easy......

Princess Anjun, who is sympathetic, is feeding her children at this time.

Mama Zheng stood in the room helplessly. How can the princess feed the child herself? The nurse has already been found, it is really a thousand selections, first of all, the ancestors of the eight generations have to be carefully checked, and then the old lady Jiang personally diagnosed the pulse to determine that the body is healthy and free of diseases, and then she is accepted into the house to live. There are two in total, all waiting over there, and the princess is going to feed the child herself.

Momoka hugged the little swaddling clothes and stared at the wrinkled little face inside. There were also some swollen eyelids that were tightly closed, and the little brows that were so faint that they could barely be seen were wrinkled by sucking hard, and a line was squeezed out.

In the hospital in the past, she didn't know how many newborn children she had seen, and at that time she said that she was cute, but most of what she thought in her heart was: like a little monkey, so ugly!

But now this one was born by himself, looking at this ugly little face, he only thinks it's so cute, and I can't wait to give him all the good things.

"Mama doesn't have to be like this." The newborn baby didn't eat much, and it didn't take long for him to be full. Taohua picked him up and gently touched his back to burp, looked up and saw Mama Zheng's expression, and couldn't help laughing, "It's good for the child to eat his mother's milk." "To be exact, colostrum is good for babies," I don't plan to use a nurse. ”

Truth be told, raising a child is hard work. Although she has a bunch of maids to help, she also has the internal affairs of the county king's mansion and the errands of the court outside, and the workload is no less than that of the professional women in her previous life. Not to mention that there are also external troubles that the Yu clan is eyeing over. If she really doesn't care about anything, she just feeds the child from beginning to end, which is also unlikely, and she still has to use a nurse.

Mama Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good for the princess to do this." The old slave is just afraid, and it won't sound good outside. "This kind of thing is not in accordance with the rules, and outsiders will only say that the princess of the county has lost her identity. Although many rules don't count here with the princess, it's always good to reduce a little trouble.

Momoka smiled and nodded, and when the baby had two small burps, she put him down and loosened the swaddling clothes a little. The little baby felt loosened and immediately stretched out his legs and kicked up.

Mama Zheng looked miserable next to her, and couldn't help but say again: "Princess, the swaddling clothes are tightly wrapped because I am afraid that the little boy's legs will not be straight in the future...... "It's just a matter of breastfeeding yourself, if this leg grows bent, what can I do in the future?"

Taohua laughed: "Mama, this is nothing." "Of course, it has been said since ancient times that if you wrap a child in a candle bag, you can make your legs straight. However, in fact, this does not make sense, children just like to skim their legs like little frogs, but this does not mean that the legs are bent.

Mama Zheng was helpless, and was about to persuade again, when she heard Shen Shu's voice at the door: "What is there to do?" "When the man came out of the curtain, he did not come in at once, and he heard the voice of Si Suo, apparently changing his clothes.

Mama Zheng hurriedly retreated. The days are long, even if you want to persuade, not at this moment. After the princess gave birth, she was so tired that she fell asleep after only a few words to the prince, and the prince sat on the edge of the bed to guard the mother and son, and sat until dawn.

There's a lot more to come. As soon as the prince came out, he first gave all the people in the mansion an extra three months' monthly money, which was a generous reward. After Mrs. Jiang checked the pulse of the mother and the child, and confirmed that the mother and child were safe, the prince ran into the palace to report the good news. It's not busy until now, the princess has slept and got up, and the prince has just come back.

At this time, the husband and wife must not know how much to say, Mama Zheng, as a subordinate with eyes, will never be stupid enough to hinder them in the house.

Shen Shu changed his clothes and stepped into the room, and saw Taohua leaning on the head of the bed, looking at him with a smile.

The house was still the same as before, but in Shen Shu's opinion, everything seemed to be different. Taohua was wearing a half-worn dress, which used to seem to him to be a light gray jacket, but he heard Mint say that it was peach.

Now he knew what color pink was. Compared with the swaddling clothes next to the child, this color is lighter, but it seems to be more moisturized with the snow-white face and bright lips of the peach blossom. I heard that this is the color of the peach blossom, and the name of the peach blossom comes from the peach blossom - the peach is dying, scorching its flower, what a bright verse, he was just ignorant before, but now he understands.

"What's going on?" Taohua felt that Shen Shu's eyes were a little wrong, and subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face. Although she couldn't bathe and wash her hair during confinement, she still tried to scrub it with warm water after she woke up, and used a comb to run her hair, so that she looked like a person. Could it be that you have something on your face?

"It's peach." Shen Shu touched the hem of her clothes, and then touched the child's swaddling clothes, "This is bright red." ”

Taohua didn't react for a while: "Yes." Although Shen Shu couldn't identify the color red, she would point out all kinds of red to him from the time he said that he seemed to see things differently after acupuncture. The clothes you wear, the jewelry you wear on your head, the small clothes and swaddling clothes you prepare for your child, you will tell him what color to use when you make them. Shen Shu has an excellent memory, although he can't tell from the color, but he can remember clearly according to the style of different patterns, of course, he knows that the swaddling clothes are bright red and her clothes are pink.

Shen Shu raised his hand and touched Taohua's lips again: "This is also red." The other hand gently touched the child's little face, "His face is also red, different from you, it seems that it is not as good-looking as you......"

"Yes-" Tao Hua just said one word, and suddenly a flash of inspiration, almost unbelievable, "Are you ......?"

"I know what red is now." Shen Shu said in a low voice, looking into Taohua's eyes, "I know." "From the moment I saw that basin of blood, you healed me. It turns out that red is such a vivid and beautiful color, and you brought them back into my world.

Mama Zheng heard a low conversation in the room, but it didn't take long for her to quiet down, thinking that the princess had fallen asleep again? If this is the case, the prince should have some food after running outside all morning.

Thinking like this, he quietly lifted the curtain and looked inside, and immediately shrank back. It happened that Mint came in with a food box, and when she saw Mama Zheng like this, she couldn't help but be curious: "What does Mama do-"

"Shhhh ”

Mint was inexplicable: "The princess ordered, prepared snacks and soup for the prince, and waited for the prince to come back from the palace......" The princess woke up, and the first thing was to ask the princess if he had eaten, this is an important matter.

Mama Zheng was full of joy between her eyebrows, and poked it on Mint's forehead: "Silly girl, what are you in a hurry to eat, don't disturb the princess and princess." When she looked in just now, she saw the prince sitting on the edge of the bed with his arms around the princess, mouth-to-mouth.

Mint looked dazed, and saw Mama Zheng laugh: "Come on, let's talk about it later." The in-laws and the old lady's meals have been delivered? Jiang Xi and Old Lady Jiang also stayed up for most of the night, and when they confirmed that the mother and son were safe, Shen Shu directly arranged for them to rest in the guest room.

"It's all gone." Although Mint hasn't figured it out yet, he can guess that it must be talking privately, so he doesn't have to go in and disturb him, "The master shouted that he wanted to come to see his brother." Jiang Xi took a look at the child when he was brought back to the main room from the delivery room, where was it enough.

While the two were talking, they heard a sound in the room, and the child began to cry. At this time, Mama Zheng couldn't take care of it, and hurriedly went in, and saw that Taohua had already untied the swaddling clothes, was carrying the child's two calves, pulled out the soaked diaper from under his body, and gently patted the fleshy little buttocks: "Pee is peeing, why are you crying so loudly?" ”

"He's going to cry when he's wet." Shen Shu also reached out and wanted to touch his little buttocks, looking at the thin calluses on his palms, but he still didn't dare to touch it, "You carry his two legs like this, you won't ......" The child looks so soft, like a small ball of flesh that can move, will it hurt if he pulls it gently?

Mama Zheng was a little surprised: "Princess-" The princess looks very skillful in this action, not like a first-time mother at all, so it seems that people with excellent medical skills are really different, and they even know how to raise children. In this way, maybe what the princess did before was right, the child does not need to be wrapped so tightly, and it is better to eat her mother's milk?

After being wiped with a handkerchief dipped in warm water and changing into a dry diaper, the little guy immediately stopped talking. His eyes never opened, they were wrapped up again, and he fell asleep immediately. Taohua gently touched the red little face: "The temper is weird." ”

The baby's temper is also different, some are good-tempered, even if they are wet, they only hum a few times, but this little thing, without opening their eyes, howls so much that it startles her. I don't know how there can be such a loud voice in such a small chest.

"That's right!" Shen Shu suddenly remembered, "The emperor gave him a name, called Shen Xu." Asahi, the rising sun. When the emperor heard that he was born at dawn, he took this name. ”

"Shen Xu." Taohua repeated it, I think it's not bad, but it's a little regretful, isn't it the right of parents to choose a name like "why did the emperor give a name......? It's interesting to pick out ten or eight names in the dictionary to choose from.

Shen Shu also felt the same way, but it was a great honor for the emperor to give him a name, who would dare to have an opinion: "Otherwise, you can give him a nickname." "There are also such people who take a big name, but they don't call it every day, and they take a small name to call it, in order to make a living.

Taohua thought this method was good, but she thought about it for a long time, only to find that she didn't have much ink in her stomach, and she didn't find a word that sounded good and had a good meaning after searching her stomach for a long time, but the more she thought about the name Shen Xu, the better it became: "Forget it, let's call Brother Xu......" In terms of ink, she is definitely not as good as the emperor, probably not even Shen Shu.

Shen Shu looked at Taohua's deflated appearance and couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Xu is actually quite good." ”

"It's good......" Momoka reluctantly admitted, touching the child's little face, "You know?" Your uncle gave you a name, and you will be called Brother Xu. ”

Brother Xu slept soundly, did not react to his mother's words, and accepted the name very happily.

Shen Shu was greedy, but in the end he still carefully touched the child's face: "Wash three ......"

"I don't think there's a big deal to wash the three." Taohua is not very interested in the custom of washing three, especially when the weather is not warm, and washing three is simply a chance for children to get cold. Although Brother Xu was born at a good time, it was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the weather was neither hot nor cold, but it was still not a safe way to take the child out of the bath naked.

"The child is still too young to stand the toss. What's more, we shouldn't be too ostentatious now. "The military power of the Marquis of Dingbei in the northwest is being "encroached upon", and their husband and wife should be holding their tails to be talents.

Shen Shu was a little regretful: "It would be nice if it was in the northwest...... "His son, washing the third and the full moon, should be good to do." If it's in the northwest, I'm afraid it's not the whole northwest to celebrate.

"Brother Xu doesn't care about this." Taohua looked at the wrinkled little red face and liked it in her heart, and couldn't help but touch it again, "It's a big banquet, how many people are sincere?" It's better to invite people who are close to you on weekdays, but everyone really hopes that the child will be good. ”

Sincere blessings are small in number and much more precious than a lot of false feelings.

"That's what I said." Shen Shu is as good as a stream, "In addition to relatives' homes, can Jinghai Marquis Mansion and Jiangjun Ma be invited?" ”

"The two of them are preparing to have a family ......affair," Taohua thought for a while, "The post still has to be handed over, and it will be ...... if you don't come" Eighty percent of the Jinghai Marquis Mansion is coming, but the lord of Nanhua County...... Actually, it's better not to come.

The husband and wife watched the child and talked for a while, and Mint came in with a suspicious face: "Prince, princess, Zhao Shangshu sent a congratulatory gift." ”

The prince of the county has a son, this is a big event, and it is necessary for the government and the opposition to express it. But the Zhao Mansion has never had any contact with the County Prince's Mansion, and it is a bit abnormal that this gift was given so early.

"What sent?" Taohua pondered for a moment, "These days, I heard that Zhao Chongyi and Qiuliang Hall have also moved around. ”

This sounds quite normal, because now Lu Ying's position is actually higher than Zhao Chongyi, and in terms of etiquette, Zhao Chongyi should also visit Lu Ying often. However, everyone knows that Lu Ying's status today is all promoted by the queen, and Zhao Chongyi and the queen are already on the wrong side, so it is a bit interesting to walk around with the Qiuliang Palace at this time.

"What's more, one was killed by the queen and lost a child, but the other gave birth to a prince under the protection of the queen, I don't think Zhao Chongyi has such a broad mind to make friends with Ying'er anyway." At first, Lu Ying was very nervous, and she didn't dare to let Zhao Chongyi see the little prince at all. But every time Zhao Chongyi went, he really just sat in the outer hall and said a few words to Lu Ying, and didn't ask to see the little prince, and didn't even go to the inner hall at all, and didn't even give things like eating and drinking, completely avoiding suspicion, without the slightest suspicion.

But even so, Lu Ying did not completely relax her vigilance, and asked someone to spread the news out of the palace to Taohua.

"At first, I was afraid that she would smoke something on her body, but Ying'er said that she didn't even use incense, and her makeup was light...... Later, after saying a few more words, she showed some meaning and wanted me to check her pulse......"

"I see." Shen Shu nodded, "But hasn't she been conditioned after she gave birth?" ”

"I heard that she has been using a lot of jasmine cream in her palace recently, saying that it is easy to get rashes when the weather is hot." Where is the rash in this kind of weather, not to mention that Zhao Chongyi's time with jasmine paste has started last winter, what kind of rash is from winter to spring?

At this time, Yuzhu had already brought the gift list: "Princess, there are two boxes outside, but this-" These days, she has also learned to read and write, she can't recognize all the words on this gift list, but some words are recognized, such as the word "gem", and the word "pearl" of pearl.

These two boxes don't look very big and not very eye-catching, but what is written on the gift list is: one box of southern pearls, one box of various colored gems.

The size of the box depends on what it contains. If it is used to hold cabbage, these two boxes cannot hold a cabbage, but if it is used to put pearls and gems, it is not small.

"There are fifty beads in it, and the old slave looks, and there are ten pink ones, at least the size of soybeans, which are serious southern pearls. There were rubby sapphires and cat's eyes, twenty in all, and they were all of the finest. "Mama Zheng is knowledgeable, and she was also shocked when she saw this gift. According to the relationship between the County King's Mansion and the Zhao Mansion, it is really not worth such a heavy courtesy.

Taohua looked at the gift list, pondered for a moment and nodded: "If you are courteous, you must ask for something, it seems that Zhao Chongyi's illness is not light...... That's it, when I get out of confinement, I will naturally enter the palace, and then I'll see. ”
