"What? Is the princess going to give birth? As soon as Teng Shasha heard the news, she hurriedly got up and looked at her husband and said, "Let's hurry over and have a look." ”

Zhu Zijiao also has this intention, no matter what, as Zhu Ziqi's younger brother, he can't help but show up, otherwise he will be criticized.

Concubine An on the side sneered, "What's so beautiful, what can they have to do with you when they give birth to their children?" Maybe it's a girl, and then there's a good show to watch......"

"Mother, if your words are spread to outsiders, do you still want your son to be a man?" Zhu Zijiao shouted angrily, why is this old lady still unclear, is it the time to say cool words? "That's my second brother, mother, I don't allow you to say such things again, otherwise don't blame me, who is a son, for not recognizing you as a mother."

As soon as Concubine An heard her son's words, she immediately looked angry, "Zhu Zijiao, aren't you afraid of five thunderstorms in the sky?" I am your mother, and I gave birth to your mother in October, and you talk to me with such an attitude? ”

Teng Shasha saw that her husband was going to argue again, she hurriedly stepped forward and held her husband down, "Don't talk to your mother-in-law like this, the second sister-in-law doesn't know what the situation is now, let's hurry over, I'm afraid that there are many people who have passed now, and it's not good to be late." ”

Zhu Zijiao took a deep breath, patted the back of his wife's hand, signaled that she would not argue with her mother again, and grabbed his wife's hand with his backhand and prepared to leave.

"Sycophants." Concubine An sneered.

Zhu Zijiao wanted to turn around and reason with his mother for a few more words, but now his mother's body is becoming less and less kind, and some of them are bitter and mean, and he sometimes doesn't know when his mother became like this? He felt a deep sense of powerlessness over this.

Teng Shasha hurriedly pulled the hands of the two of them, and said in a low voice, "Let's go, it's not good to quarrel." ”

Zhu Zijiao took away his wife with a gloomy face, and in the future, he still let his wife come to his mother less, so as to save him from being angry, and he was distressed as a husband. "In the future, if my mother calls you again, you will say that you want to take care of your sister and son, and you will not have to let her find a reason to torture you."

Teng Shasha was stunned for a moment, this is the first time Zhu Zijiao has chosen to stand on her side, obviously the relationship between mother and son is close to breaking down, her eyebrows are down, which is very beneficial to her, and then thinking deeply about the intention of her husband's move, she feels a little heartwarming, at least this man has her in his heart.

The husband and wife hurried to the palace, at this time the palace was already full of carriages from various families, and everyone received the wind very quickly, after all, if Ye Manjun gave birth to a boy, then it was the future king of Ruyang, could they not pay attention?

Zhu Zijiao greeted everyone one by one, but the steps under his feet were not slow, and he and his wife were rushing to the main courtyard where the princess lived at the fastest speed in their lives.

Because Ye Manjun was about to give birth, the midwives and horses that had already been prepared by the Ruyang Palace's Mansion were so busy that they came out of the delivery room with a plate of blood.

Zhu Ziqi's face became more and more pale with the cry of pain from his wife in the delivery room, and when he saw the blood again, he just impulsively went in and told his wife that he would not give birth, but in the end he still held himself back and did not make jokes. Since he knew that his wife was about to give birth and called someone to deliver the baby, he was driven out by the fierce Wen Po, saying that women and men can't look at it when they give birth.

"How is the daughter-in-law?" The old prince Zhu Yi happened to come over and immediately asked his son.

"It's been an hour, and the fetus hasn't landed yet." Zhu Ziqi said worriedly.

Concubine Teng hurriedly stepped forward and patted her son's shoulder, "Don't worry too much, women give birth to children like this, which one doesn't hurt?" Shout out? ”

Zhu Ziqi didn't answer, and his eyes looking sideways at the delivery room revealed his true thoughts.

"Mother go in and take a look." Concubine Teng said.

Zhu Ziqi nodded hurriedly and pushed his mother in, and Concubine Teng shook her head helplessly.

Zhu Yi watched his son stop at the door curtain, and then said to his son, "Come and have a bowl of tea with your father, and you can wait to be a father later, your daughter-in-law is a strong-willed person and will not be in danger." ”

Zhu Ziqi glanced at his calm father, and finally had to walk to the round chair beside him and sit down, he couldn't give birth to a child for his beloved wife, all he could do was to guard her here and pray for the safety of her mother and son.

When he was about to take a sip of tea, someone came in from outside the house, and Dingqing saw that it was the fifth brother Zhu Zijiao and Teng Shasha.

Zhu Zijiao and his wife stepped forward to greet his father and brother.

Teng Shasha heard the movement in the delivery room, and said busily, "Father-in-law, second uncle, I'll go inside and have a look." ”

"Go ahead." Zhu Ziqi immediately agreed, although he didn't like Teng Shasha very much, but his wife had a very good relationship with her, and she could have someone close to her, and her wife could give birth more at ease.

Teng Shasha was blessed, and immediately lifted the curtain and went into the delivery room.

At this moment, Ye Manjun's forehead was full of sweat, she was lying on the delivery bed, biting the cartilage in her mouth, and trying to expel the child in her womb in the sound of Wen Po's "hard", while Concubine Teng Tai was wiping off her sweat with a handkerchief, and kept saying some words of encouragement.

Teng Shasha's face also became nervous, even if she was from the past, she still felt that a woman giving birth to a child was really stepping into the brazier with one foot.

After a round of hard work, the child still failed to be born, Ye Manjun fell into his mother-in-law's arms panting, trying hard to brew the strength to stay for a while and work hard again. Her head was slightly sideways, her eyes fell on Teng Shasha's body, and she said softly: "Brother and sister, are you here?" ”

"Sister-in-law." Teng Shasha immediately ran to Ye Manjun, held her hand and encouraged her, "Push the child out in one go, just like we usually go ......to the toilet."

"Say what?" Concubine Teng said unhappily, this niece came in at this time, her face was not good-looking, after all, in her mind, Teng Shasha was still quite scheming, who knew what insidious tricks would come up later? Thinking of this, the defensiveness in her eyes was even worse.

Teng Shasha didn't know that she was suspicious of her aunt, but let her wait for news outside, and she felt sorry for Ye Manjun, the person who had always treated her well, at least she had to come in and give birth to a child with her to feel at ease. "Auntie, I said the wrong thing......"

"Mother-in-law, don't blame your younger siblings, she said it vividly." Ye Manjun was busy talking for Teng Shasha.

Concubine Teng Tai now focuses on her daughter-in-law, and when she heard her words about defending Teng Shasha, there was no unhappy expression on her face, and she hurriedly said, "I don't mean to blame her, you shouldn't worry about this now, we can rest assured as soon as we give birth to the child as soon as possible." ”

Ye Manjun also wanted to give birth to the child as soon as possible, but she didn't expect that giving birth to a child was so painful, and she missed her mother who was far away in the capital more and more.

The next wave of labor pains came, Wen Po was in place again, Teng Shasha hurriedly moved behind her aunt, folded her hands and recited the scriptures to pray for the safety of Ye Manjun's mother and son.

"Ahh

Ye Manjun suddenly loosened the cartilage in his mouth and shouted.

Then came Wen Po's surprised voice, "The princess exerts a little more force, the child's head has come out......" Her hand hurriedly reached into the birth canal, trying to pull the child out.

"Daughter-in-law, did you hear that? Brother is about to come out, hurry up and ...... hard" Concubine Teng was busy in Ye Manjun's ear and said happily.

Ye Manjun got these encouragements, and there was a burst of effort, and the sound of "ah" continued.

Finally, in a shout, accompanied by the sound of Wen Po's completion, "Born, born, a little son......"

She immediately removed the mucus from the child's mouth, and the child immediately cried out loud, a powerful cry that showed his strength.

"So that's really a brother?" Concubine Teng couldn't help but be happy, she finally became a grandmother, and she couldn't help but burst into tears when she thought of this.

But even so, she still wiped Ye Manjun's sweat and tidied up her sweaty hair first, and didn't hug her grandson as soon as possible, Teng Shasha was stunned for a moment when she saw this scene, her aunt's change was really big, and she thought that she would hug her grandson as soon as possible.

Ye Manjun has not yet returned to her soul, her eyes are just closed, thinking of the words Xiao Shizi in Wen Po's mouth, the corners of her mouth are smiling, no matter what, it is still of great benefit to her that this womb is born as a son, and as for the girl, it is not too late to regenerate in the future.

At least, there was no excuse to stuff a woman for her man, and she could be regarded as really sitting on the throne of Princess Ruyang, and as soon as her mood relaxed, she immediately fell asleep.

Concubine Teng didn't wake her up, but saw that another stable woman had cleaned up her daughter-in-law's body, so she tucked the quilt for Ye Manjun, and then got up to look at the little grandson who had been cleaned and wrapped in swaddling clothes by the stable woman, and reached out to take it and raised it to look at the little grandson in the faint evening glow outside.

After a long time, she said happily, "Our brother is so beautiful." ”

The corners of Teng Shasha's mouth twitched, in fact, the skin of the newborn child was wrinkled, and it was really not good-looking, but now her aunt, who has always been feared, said that the child was beautiful, and obviously really liked this grandson.

She glanced at Ye Manjun who was sleeping, this woman who married from the capital and came to Ruyang City was finally bitter, obviously her relationship with Concubine Teng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had taken a step further.

Concubine Teng got a baby grandson, so she wanted to show off, and immediately wanted to take it out to show her husband and son, but she took two steps and remembered that Teng Shasha was still here, so she turned her head to look at the niece, "What are you still doing here?" Let your sister-in-law sleep a little longer, and you hurry up and go out with me. ”

She wouldn't let this ambitious niece have the opportunity to harm Ye Manjun.

Teng Shasha hurriedly responded, reluctantly stepped forward and followed behind her aunt, and sighed secretly, she really didn't understand when her aunt would be willing to believe that she no longer had that ambition, and now Zhu Zijiao treats her well, even if she gives her the most perfect man in the world to change, she will not change.

Concubine Teng was just about to pull the curtain and go out, when she saw her son coming in in a hurry, "Mother, is it born?" ”

"It's raw." Concubine Teng said angrily, "Oh, this is your son......"

"Mother, I'll see him later, my mother is okay, right?" Zhu Ziqi was most worried about Ye Manjun, after all, her last few calls made his heart still tremble until now.

"She's fine, she's asleep......" Concubine Teng didn't finish speaking, when she saw that her son had already passed her and entered inside, "What are you doing when you go in?" Let her sleep well, don't make any noise for her......"

"Mother, I have a sense of proportion, you take the child out and show it to your father." Zhu Ziqi knew that as soon as his father was brought out, his mother would not have time to take care of his affairs, and he would not be relieved no matter how he didn't see his wife well.

He sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to stroke the sleeping Ye Manjun, with tenderness in his eyes.

Concubine Teng took the child out, and the old prince Zhu Yi immediately stepped forward and said hurriedly, "I heard that it's my brother's ......."

"Congratulations to the old prince, you are a grandfather, this is a brother." Concubine Teng was busy lifting the child in her arms for her husband to see.

Zhu Yi stretched out his hand to hug this precious grandson, his eyes were also full of colorful light, this child is very cute no matter how he looks at it, when he thinks of this little baby with his blood flowing on his body, he can't stop being excited, life is like this from generation to generation, recording his existence in this way.

Zhu Zijiao also probed to look at the little baby in his father's arms, this baby is a brother, the palace has an heir, he suddenly looked relaxed, so that he and his wife do not need contraception, and he will have a son in the next child.

The news of Ruyang Wangfu Xidelin'er completely made the people of Ruyang City excited, and there were laughter and laughter everywhere to discuss the birth of the little prince, and even the local powerful families also accepted the expressions of disapproval in the past, this palace already has grandchildren, and they can really die of this heart, and the family who still has a daughter in the family also began to marry their daughter, and the idea of marrying into the side room of Ruyang Wangfu was declared bankrupt.

Ye Manjun completely woke up in the evening of the next day, and she slept for a full twelve hours, and when she opened her eyes, she saw her husband's bearded face, and was startled, "Husband? ”

"Are you awake?" Zhu Ziqi's voice was full of excitement, helping her sit up and pulling over the soft pillow for her to lean on, "I've slept for a day and a night, are you hungry?" I've got chicken soup ready for you, so I'll bring it to you. After speaking, without waiting for his wife to reply, he immediately ordered his subordinates to bring chicken soup.

"Where's the kid?" Ye Manjun hurriedly asked, she hadn't hugged her child yet.

"The nurse is feeding, so I'll have someone carry it for you."

Ye Manjun nodded, she naturally loved the little things that she had worked hard to give birth to in October.

After a while, the child came over, she hurriedly reached out to hold the little little bit in her arms, and looked at the child in her arms who looked like a little monkey, she frowned slightly.

"My mother said that when the child grows up in a few days, he will look good." Zhu Ziqi said.

"Even if it's not good-looking, can I not love him?" Ye Manjun glanced at her husband, this is the child she worked hard to give birth to, no matter how ugly she is, she likes it tightly.

The chicken soup was served, and Zhu Ziqi hurriedly brought it over and scooped a tablespoon and blew it, before sending it to his wife's mouth, "Come, open your mouth." ”

Ye Manjun couldn't cry or laugh, "I'm not a child, you hold my brother, I'll drink it by myself, it's ......"

"You hold the baby, I'll feed it." Zhu Ziqi hurriedly stopped her behavior, he knew that she was holding the child now and didn't want to let go, just like his mother, fortunately, his mother was now sensible, and she didn't forcibly take the child to her to raise.

Ye Manjun was really reluctant to let go of the child in her arms, so she had to blush and open her mouth to swallow the chicken soup he fed, her face was as red as fire with every mouthful, and she finally drank the bowl of chicken soup that embarrassed her.

The child in her arms may have been breastfed and now sleeps peacefully, and she also gently let the child sleep more soundly, "By the way, can you fly the pigeon to pass the book back to Beijing about me giving birth?" ”

She thought that her mother would be overjoyed to know that she was a mother.

"It's been passed back, and I believe it won't be long before they receive the good news." Zhu Ziqi said with a smile. In fact, I'm just afraid that he has added Ding, and someone has already secretly reported to the emperor's cousin in the capital.

"That's good, my mother doesn't have to worry about me anymore." Ye Manjun patted his son's swaddling clothes, this child can't see enough, this is her blood and bones, the transmission of blood.

It wasn't until the child woke up and opened his eyes to look at Ye Manjun that Ye Manjun exclaimed, "Husband, our child has opened his eyes." ”

Zhu Ziqi is not surprised, this morning the child opened his eyes to see people, those eyes are very similar to his wife, bright and dazzling.

Ye Manjun didn't blink, seeing that the child's eyes were looking at her, she smiled and said, "Baby, I'm your mother's concubine......"

When the child washed the third day, the old prince Zhu Yi named his grandson, Zhu Youyu.

As soon as this name came out, Concubine An smashed a blue and white porcelain ornament, and her heart was full of jealousy, why could Concubine Teng Tai hold her grandson as she wished, and she only had a granddaughter who lost money.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law and granddaughter were becoming more and more unpleasant, scolding this or that all day long, Zhu Zijiao became more and more irritable about this.

Teng Shasha also disliked it, and became more and more unwilling to let her daughter go over to ask her for peace, so she directly told the nurse not to take her sister to the front of Concubine An's side, this patriarchal mother-in-law may not be able to do anything when her head is hot, she can't afford to take this risk.

So when she took her sister to see Ye Manjun, she had to complain about her bitterness, although the ugliness of her family was not publicized, but she was even more depressed if she didn't find someone to talk to.

"Don't be too sad, just raise your sister and don't let her interfere." Ye Manjun comforted Teng Shasha, "The relationship between this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult, you and the fifth uncle also hurry up to conceive another child and give birth to a boy, and Concubine An will stop." ”

"I can't see it." Teng Shasha is not so optimistic, if she gives birth to a son in her second child, what kind of moth will her mother-in-law have? "Sister-in-law, can you find some excuse to send my mother-in-law to the nunnery to practice, our husband and wife are now made by her to the point of unrest......

Ye Manjun didn't expect Teng Shasha to come up with this idea, and just as she was about to answer, Concubine Teng lifted the curtain and came in and said, "What are you talking about?" I heard about the hermitage or something......"

Teng Shasha hurriedly got up to greet her aunt, thinking of the discord between her aunt and her mother-in-law, her eyes rolled, and she repeated her previous words again.

Concubine Teng glanced at her niece, "Are you telling the truth?" ”

"Auntie, can I still lie to you? We are both people who keep our duties, but my mother-in-law's character, you know, maybe something will happen to her if she stays in the city? At that time, everyone's face will not look good, so it is better to strangle this and send her out of the city as soon as possible. ”

Teng Shasha made up her mind to pull her aunt into an alliance, just to live a happy life for a few days.

Ye Manjun is happy to save trouble, this matter has her own mother-in-law to worry about, in fact, you don't have to guess to know that Concubine Teng will definitely agree to her nephew's request, not out of love, but she has long wanted to rectify Concubine An's nemesis.

Sure enough, Concubine Teng finally looked at this niece and daughter, "You are a person who can think about things, Sasha, my aunt is very pleased." After a pause, "This matter is on my aunt, and I will never allow her to be unfavorable to my grandson." ”

The last sentence was already gritting her teeth, obviously she hated Concubine An for more than a day or two.

Teng Shasha's face was overjoyed, this is very good, but when she thought of her husband, she hurriedly said, "Auntie, sister-in-law, please hide this matter from my husband, no matter how bad my mother-in-law is, she is the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, I am afraid that he will have an opinion on me......"

"Don't worry, you won't say it." Ye Manjun hurriedly said.

Teng Shasha looked at her aunt again.

Concubine Teng's face was unnatural, "You are my mother's niece's niece, can I still harm you?" Even I am suspicious, and my aunt is going to be annoyed. ”

Teng Shasha hurriedly expressed her loyalty.

Since she was so sincere, Concubine Teng Tai was kind to this niece again, and the wariness in her eyes gradually dissipated, and Teng Shasha was naturally happy to see such a change.

In the end, Concubine Teng gave the old prince Zhu Yi several pillow winds, and Zhu Yi ordered Concubine An to go to the nunnery to pray for the late princess Zhu Chen, and Concubine An almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth after receiving the order.

It's just that she is now favored by Zhu Yi, so she doesn't dare to disobey the order, so she packed her luggage and set off to do something for her former rival Zhu Chen, and she vomited to death when she thought about it.

Zhu Ziqi personally sent his mother to the nunnery designated by his father, and returned to the city on the same day, his face was relaxed for a while, and without the scolding of his mother, this day was suddenly much more wonderful.

When he returned to the house, he saw his wife holding his crawling daughter playing on the Luohan bed, and he walked towards the mother and daughter with a smile on his face.

"Coming back?" Teng Shasha hurriedly got up to greet him, "Mother-in-law has been placed there?" ”

"It's all in order, nothing can happen, my mother is in the Buddha Gate purely, and she will dissipate her anger." Zhu Ziqi said.

Hearing this, Teng Shasha covered her mouth and smiled, indeed, without Concubine An in the mansion, she felt that even the air was much fresher, it seems that she must thank her aunt when she returns to the palace, after all, it is still a family.

Looking at her husband's appearance at the moment, I am afraid that after this ritual is completed, Concubine An Tai will not be able to return to the house too soon, after all, even Zhu Zijiao wants her mother to live in the nunnery for a few more days.

The people in this nunnery are all the people of Concubine Teng, so they will naturally look at Concubine An to death, and they will not give her the slightest wind and waves, so angry that Concubine An's face is gloomy all day long.

When the flying pigeon passed the book to the capital, the good news was sent to Ye Zhong's as soon as possible.

At that time, she was talking to her two daughters-in-law, and she knew that the good news had fallen from the sky.

"It's really good, Sister Jun gave birth to a son...... Ye Zhongshi was so happy that she was only a few words away, she was worried when her daughter was not pregnant, and she was also worried when her daughter was pregnant, and now that her daughter finally gave birth to a son, she can only let go of this big stone in her heart.

Lin Long and Su Miaojue were both interested in not disturbing Ye Zhong's excitement, and the two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw the word happy in each other's eyes.

"By the way, old man, do you want to send someone to deliver something to Sister Jun again?" Ye Zhong's family finally returned to normal, and as soon as her mind worked, she thought of what she wanted to send to her grandson, and she always thought that she would send less because she had taken the land route.

"That's natural, and the daughter-in-law made a list for her mother-in-law to see." Lin Long hurriedly responded, and she also had this intention.

"Well, just like last time, make the clothes bigger, it's best to wear them until you're three years old, and we'll send them next time." Ye Zhongshi commanded.

Lin Long wrote them down one by one, after all, it was far away, and children grew up fast, so she was happy to see the clothes made bigger and sent to her.

Su Miaojue didn't say anything, after all, the head of the Hou Mansion was the eldest sister-in-law Lin Long, and she didn't have so much ambition to fight with Lin Long, and there was nothing to fight about, so she naturally listened quietly with a smile on the side. For Ye Manjun, the eldest aunt and grandmother, she has never met and naturally has not had such a deep relationship, which may not be as close as her relationship with Ye Manzi.

"We all ignored my younger siblings when we discussed, so don't have any opinions." Lin Long smiled and reached out to shake Su Miaojue's hand.

"I don't have any opinions, I'm thinking about making a few clothes for my little nephew to show my gratitude." Su Miaojue said busily.

Ye Zhongshi smiled, "I have a heart, but don't get tired, this needlework hurts your eyes the most." ”

"Yes, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law remember." Su Miaojue said that she was quite useful for the care from her mother-in-law, after all, after her mother died, only Ye Zhongshi gave her such warmth.

The news that Ye Manjun gave birth to a son spread all over the Hou Mansion for a while, and everyone praised this aunt and grandmother for their good life, and when Ye Manzi returned to the house and heard about it, he called out that he wanted to go to Ruyang City to see his little nephew, and was knocked a few corn seeds by her mother, and then he put away the idea of the Arabian Nights.

The palace was also happy with the news that Ye Manjun had asked for a man, and Zhu Yi also said to Su Ziyu, "You send something to Ruyang City as a congratulatory gift, after all, it is the first child of the Youzi generation, and I am also happy for their husband and wife." ”

In this way, Ruyang City can still have a peaceful life for decades.

Su Ziyu hurriedly nodded in agreement, "The concubines know, this is the emperor's grace, and they will understand the saint's intention when they receive the congratulatory gift." ”

"That's what I mean." Zhu Yi said with a smile.

Different from the joy of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, the Eldest Princess's Mansion was full of gloom, and the people did not dare to say a word, and did things tremblingly, for fear that they would be punished by the master who was in a bad mood.

Zhou Xuerou started a hunger strike in order not to marry the second son of the Zhongyi uncle, the eldest princess only has such a daughter, and she is reluctant to beat and scold on weekdays, but now she is beating and scolding, but unfortunately Zhou Xuerou didn't buy it, and made up her mind that she would rather starve to death than marry that person.

"You're really my nemesis." The eldest princess gritted her teeth and said.

As soon as Zhou Xuerou heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up after three days of hunger strike, which meant that her mother had compromised, "Mother, you agreed to enter the palace...... Tell the emperor's uncle that the marriage has been cancelled......"

The eldest princess glanced at her innocent daughter, what the emperor and queen did that day showed that they would not be soft-hearted again, and it was a fool's dream to enter the palace to ask for the cancellation of the marriage.

"Nope."

Zhou Xuerou's eyes widened and she looked at her mother in disbelief.

"Sister Rou, my mother has her own way to make this marriage work out of the way."
