Chapter 32/6 Pampering
Rong Chenghan's title is hereditary, and it is generally passed down to the eldest son, that is, the little pig Rong Li. Now that Rong has passed the full moon, Rong Chenghan, the new father, loves his son with a heart, and wants to settle the issue of his son's title inheritance.
Rong Chenghan has already discussed this matter with Liu Ruoxi. Liu Ruoxi naturally has no opinion. Now that the second master and the second wife of Liu have come over, Rong Chenghan proposed to take a look at the two old people's opinions.
"Hmm......" Second Master Liu did not express his opinion immediately, but asked Rong Chenghan first, "Have you asked your father?" β
"Not yet." Rong Chenghan replied truthfully. The title was not inherited from King Yongjing, but earned it himself. When it comes to inviting his son to be the son of the world, Rong Chenghan feels that he is completely capable of calling the shots. He made a decision, and then went to talk to the old prince.
"In this case, you still have to ...... with your father Consult. Second Master Liu said, although the truth is just as Rong Chenghan said, Second Master Liu also believes that the old prince will not have any other opinions, but Second Master Liu still reminded Rong Chenghan to respect the old prince's opinion.
"Of course it's good to ask for a seal for you." Second Master Liu finally expressed his opinion, "When are you going to play?" β
"How about the next pilgrimage?" Rong Chenghan had obviously made the arrangements a long time ago.
"Okay." Second Master Liu thought for a moment and nodded. Although in the matter of succession to the title, Rong Chenghan played, and His Majesty the Emperor allowed to play. But history is not without its opposition. Second Master Liu thought in his heart that he could also invite two old friends or protΓ©gΓ©s to quietly drum on the side, so that things could be settled quickly.
Second Master Liu and Rong Chenghan discussed the matter of inviting Rong Ti to be the son of the world here, and Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi sat next to each other, and the two of them also talked in a whisper.
Mrs. Liu asked Liu Ruoxi how Su treated her and the little golden pig after she gave birth.
Although Liu Ruoxi was given birth by Liu Ruoxi, who was taken care of by Mrs. Liu, after all, there was no reason for her mother-in-law to live in her uncle's house. What's more, Second Mrs. Liu still has Second Master Liu and Liu Yuwen to take care of, so after Liu Ruoji gave birth to the little golden pig, the situation stabilized, and Third Mrs. Liu and Second Mrs. Liu returned to Liufu one after another.
Because she was not by her daughter's side, Mrs. Liu was a little worried about Su's attitude towards her daughter and grandson.
"Father likes little pigs very much." Liu Ruoxi told Second Mrs. Liu, "I can't see what the mother concubine is thinking over there......"
Liu Ruoxi's feeling that the Su family treats the little golden pig a little lightly, obviously not as much as the old prince likes the little golden pig. The old prince would hug the little golden pig whenever he had the opportunity, and the Su family only hugged the little golden pig when Rong Chenghan sent the little golden pig to name the old prince.
"This is her own grandson, and I still think, even if I don't like you. I definitely won't dislike this kid. Mrs. Liu frowned slightly. Su Shi is indifferent to the little golden pig, and in the opinion of Mrs. Liu, she doesn't like the little golden pig. Mrs. Liu has a lot of opinions about the Su family.
"I don't expect anything from her. It doesn't matter if you don't like it, our little pig doesn't lack her to like it. Liu Ruoxi said in a low voice.
"That's right." Second Mrs. Liu couldn't help but glance at her little grandson. Everyone was talking here, but the little pig was not disturbed at all, and his face was red from sleep.
Liu Yuwen was fine next to him, so he kept looking at his little nephew. The little doll was so cute, and in the end, Liu Yuwen couldn't hold back, and reached out and touched the little pig's face. The little pig snorted twice in his nose, and everyone thought that the little pig was going to wake up. When Liu Yuwen almost wanted to slip away, the little pig only squirmed a little, and still slept very sweetly.
"Well, good. Quite a general. Second Master Liu praised.
Although this is a very high praise, but when it is used on the current little golden pig, Liu Ruoxi still feels a little crying and laughing. What kind of general's style, it's just sleeping like a pig.
ββ¦β¦ Are you going to wear enough of the little clothes you have prepared? Mrs. Liu reached out and pinched the little pig's fat paws. looked at his grandson with a smile, but asked Liu Ruoxi, "If it's not enough." I'm going to take the girls to do more. A few days ago, I just sent a batch of soft silk from Suzhou, and I left a lot of it, which is the most suitable for making clothes for the piglets. β
Saying this, it seemed that she had just remembered her daughter, and Mrs. Liu added a little absent-mindedly.
"If you like, take two of them to make underwear."
With a grandson, the daughter and aunt retreated.
"Mother, the clothes you sent with the old lady and the third aunt, as well as the clothes I prepared here, are enough for the little pig to wear until he grows up. It's better not to do it yet, and wait for him to grow up again, and then make it fit. The soft silk that my mother said was good, so I will send someone to fetch two horses first, and make clothes for me and Han. β
"Good. The silk is so good that it should be made for the little pig to wear. Mrs. Liu insisted, "Well, I'm afraid it's good to make two more sets of quilts." β
Mrs. Liu Er loves the little pig very much, and she can't wait to send all the good things to her little grandson. Liu Ruoxi knew that she couldn't stop it, so she simply stopped talking.
Chunhui Tang Su sat on the couch, his expression was a little sad, and he looked like he had not recovered from a long-term illness. It's just that today is a great event for the palace, and although the Su family has not recovered, they have also come out to entertain guests. At this moment, most of the guests have dispersed, and those who still stay in Chunhui Hall to accompany the Su family are only a few concubines of the Su family, and then there is Su Qingnuan.
Everyone was asking about Su's physical condition with concern.
"It's just an old disease, it's not a big deal, it's just very difficult." Su Shi said.
"The princess is just too good/sexual." Several concubines of the Su family exchanged glances with each other, and one of them spoke.
"That's it, that's it." Su Shi waved his hand in a hurry, obviously not wanting to continue to talk about this topic.
Everyone looked at Su's face, among which Su Qingnuan was the most familiar with Su's, and immediately changed the topic obediently.
"She looks so good." Speaking of Rong Ti, Su Qingnuan looked envious. Today's full moon was brought out by the nurse for everyone to see. Su Qingnuan was by Su's side at that time and saw it very clearly. The full moon is full of glory, and his appearance has completely grown, even the most picky person can't help but praise it. The little golden pig born to Rong Chenghan and Liu Ruoxi is really Zhou Zheng.
Not only does he look good, but his temperament also seems to be good. The nurse carried him out to show everyone. He looked around with a pair of big black eyes, neither crying nor making a fuss.
Listening to Su Qingnuan talk about Rong Xiao, Su's face was also a little loose.
"It's good, and it's almost carved out of the same mold as the third master when he was a child."
"The third master has been a good appearance since he was a child. I just went to the north for a few years, and when I came back, I learned those martial artists in the army, and I had a full beard, which was almost unrecognizable. The princess should have persuaded the third master to shave off her beard at that time......"
"The third master's family talent, and then he has such a look, the matchmaker was afraid that the threshold of the palace would be broken."
"Now in the capital, the third master is that old. There is no one more outstanding than the third master. The princess is so blessed! β
All the daughters of the Su family spoke in unison, praising Rong Chenghan as good, saying that it was the blessing of the Su family.
"When she gave birth to the third master, how difficult it was for the princess, and now she also holds the golden grandson!"
"Xiao'er and Han'er are indeed exactly the same." Su Shi said slowly, although his tone was light, but the emotions mixed with it were heavy for all the ladies of the Su family to feel.
"The princess likes Li'er so much, why don't you let people bring her over?" The one who said this. Actually, it doesn't mean anything else. They all came for the full moon of Rong Li, and now they are all sitting here in the Su family, and the Su family asks Rong Qi to come over, which is also a common thing.
But the person who said it had no intention. but he who hears has a heart.
"My aunt's illness is difficult to heal, and I am afraid that it is related to her mood. If there is a child by my aunt's side, my aunt will be happy every day......" Su Qingnuan said carefully while looking at Su's face.
Su's eyes lit up visibly. It seems that he was struck by this idea.
"The third lady is young, and the princess will take care of her, which is also what it should be."
"It's common for things like this to happen in other people's homes."
"Helped her. It can be regarded as her filial piety, but it kills two birds with one stone. β
Everyone, you and I, are all persuading the Su family to bring Rong Ti over to raise him.
"My aunt really likes Xiao'er, I think the third brother and the third sister-in-law will be happy when they know about it." Su Qingnuan said.
"I'm not in good health, I'm just afraid of ......" Su Shi was not unmoved, but she didn't have much confidence in the matter of Bao Rong coming to raise her.
"Which family's master wants his mother and grandmother to bring his own, and naturally there is porridge and porridge served by the nurses and grandmothers. The princess likes it, although it is a blessing for a child to bring it up. β
Su Shi was more and more moved by what everyone said, but he still refused to agree.
ββ¦β¦ We have to think about it in the long run......"
"But the sooner the better. Take advantage of the prince's happiness now......"
When the daughters of the Su family dispersed one after another, Su Qingnuan stayed. After spending the fifteenth day of the first lunar month at home, Su Qingnuan was taken over by the Su family and still lived in Yuxiangzhai. Because of Su's poor health, Su Qingnuan mostly accompanies and serves by Su's side these days, and then goes to Rongyuan Hall to accompany the princess. As for Yunshuiju, Su Qingnuan didn't want to go. However, Liu Ruoxi was doing confinement, saying that she didn't see the guests. The girls and mothers-in-law of Yunshuiju were very polite to Su Qingnuan, but they were also too polite. Su Qingnuan went a few times, but it was not good to go again. But the people of Yunshuiju treat her well, and there is no leakage everywhere, and Su Qingnuan can't say that Yunshuiju or Liu Ruoxi are not good at all.
"Aunt," Su Qingnuan sat down beside Su's side, gently pinching Su's shoulders while comforting, "Auntie is just too honest." My aunt likes her child, but she only likes it in her heart. The old prince and the third brother are manly again, and they only concentrate on the big things outside, how can they know the good intentions of their aunt. My aunt is not pleasing like this. β
"Well, I don't want them to know my truth. As long as they're all right, I'm satisfied. Su sighed.
"My aunt is like this, and there is nothing in front of my family. It's just that someone else can't help but use this as a handle, and ...... aunt will suffer a lot......" Su Qingnuan said slowly.
Who this other person refers to, there is no need to say clearly between Su Shi and Su Qingnuan.
"If my aunt also shows that she likes to come here, the prince will be happy......" Su Qingnuan slowly persuaded the Su family, meaning that the Su family could bring Rong Li over to raise her.
"It's not because Xiao'er is the eldest son of the third brother, the prince likes Xiao'er so much, and I want to hope that Xiao'er will be raised in Chunhui Hall, so that you can see Xiao'er often." Su Qingnuan finally said.
Originally, the Su family had already been said to be a little tempting, but now that Su Qingnuan heard about the old prince again, the Su family was even more moved. The old prince's love for his little grandson, the Su family saw it in his eyes. She's faint on the surface. But looking at the white and chubby little grandson, especially when the little pig's eyes looked at her, she could hardly control the little piglet in her arms.
If you can raise the little golden pig by your side in the name of truth, and not make people suspect that she is partial, and you can make the old prince even more happy, this is really a good thing again, Su Shi is very willing in his heart.
ββ¦β¦ The third brother has been ...... since he was a child, and his aunt had a lot of things to do at that time, so the third brother was not so close to his aunt. If you can keep your aunt by your side since she was a child, you will naturally be closest to your aunt. The third brother will also get closer and closer to his aunt. The third sister-in-law is such a smart person, the third brother only has the third sister-in-law in his heart now......" Su Qingnuan persuaded Su again.
Su Qingnuan said something vague, but Su Shi completely understood. Su Qingnuan's words were all said in her heart.
Raising Rong Ti is also a kind of compensation for Rong Chenghan, so she can also make her grandson close to herself, and at the same time close to her son...... Su's eyes lit up again.
"When my aunt tells the prince, I might as well talk about my debt to the third brother ....... If the aunt wants to compensate, the prince must be able to understand the aunt's painstaking efforts. β¦β¦ The prince may not want to keep his son by his side. Su Qing's warm and faint voice came into Su Shi's ears again.
yes, Su almost screamed.
Keeping Rong Ti by his side should also be the hope of the old prince.
When Su Qingnuan left from Chunhui Hall. Su had already made his decision, and had carefully prepared his words.
When King Yongjing returned to Chunhui Hall from the front study, he saw that Su, who had been sick, was waiting for him with full spirit. The old prince couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Your body...... Okay? β
"It's already half better, and it's not going to happen." Su Shi said. There was no sad look on his rare face, but some of his looks shone brightly. "Lord, the concubine has something important to discuss with the prince."
"What's the matter?" Seeing Su like this. The old prince couldn't help but pay attention to what Su was going to say.
"It's about the child." Su Shi and the old prince sat opposite each other on the couch, and then said their plans.
"Do you want to bring your child to Chunhui Hall to raise you?!" The old prince listened to Su's words, and was silent for a long time.
"Yes." Su nodded eagerly.
"I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult to do."
The old prince did not directly refuse Su's request, but just said that things were difficult to do. Su Shi immediately understood, and sure enough, as Su Qingnuan said, the old prince himself didn't want to hug Rong Yi to raise him. As for saying that things are difficult to do, it is naturally worried that Rong Chenghan and Liu Ruoxi will not agree.
"The prince spoke, what else do they not agree to, the third child." Su said, "Being able to be raised by the prince's side is a blessing for the child." The third is ...... A very filial child. β
King Yongjing can't say that Rong Chenghan and Liu Ruoxi are not filial, but at the same time, even these little couples are not stupid and filial people, and they will not obey him. Rong Chenghan has long been self-reliant, and everything has his own charter. Although Liu Ruoji is a woman, she is also very knowledgeable and thoughtful. If you want this little couple to agree to something, it will not work at all to suppress it with filial piety.
"Do you like it very much?" The old prince asked Su.
"Oh......" Regarding the old prince's question, Su Shi hesitated for a moment before answering, "Of course the concubine likes Xiao'er." β
"Hmm." The old prince nodded with satisfaction, "Then you may raise her well, your body ......"
"The concubine's body is fine, enough to take care of her child. Lord, if there is a child by our side every day......"
"Hmm." The old prince pondered for a long time, and finally nodded lightly, "I will discuss it with the third child." If he agrees, it will be good. If he refuses to agree, it is human nature. β
These words were not so much to comfort the Su family, but to say what the old prince said to himself.
Without waiting for the old prince to send someone to call Rong Chenghan, Rong Chenghan himself came to the door.
Rong Chenghan entered the upper room of Chunhui Hall, and saw that the old prince and the Su family were sitting on the couch for a long time, as if they were waiting for him. Although Rong Chenghan is a happy event, his vigilance has not decreased at all. Seeing the appearance of the old prince and the Su family, Rong Chenghan guessed that they had something to tell him.
Rong Chenghan stepped forward to salute the old prince and the Su family.
The old prince let Rong Chenghan sit on the chair.
"There is something to discuss with my father and mother." Rong Chenghan said that he was going to ask for a seal for Rong Li.
"Oh......" This matter, the old prince is actually thinking about it in his heart, but he didn't expect that although Rong Chenghan is young, he is quite sophisticated in thinking about problems, but he is very good at seizing/seizing the best opportunity.
Although it is said that Rong Ti has just been full moon, looking at the current situation, it is the best time for Rong Ti to ask for a seal.
On the one hand, he praised Rong Chenghan's move, but on the other hand, the old prince's mood was a little complicated. But in this matter, the old prince did not have any position to stop it.
"Good." The old prince nodded, "This matter should go well." Even if something happens, your father will naturally be on your side. β
"Thank you, Father." Rong Chenghan said immediately.
"Hmm." The old prince nodded, "Has the little pig woken up, what are you doing?" β
At the mention of the little pig, Rong Chenghan couldn't help but smile in his eyes. He told the old prince that the little golden pig had been asleep.
The old prince touched his beard and nodded with a smile.
"I can eat and sleep, and I am a good son of my family."
"There's something your mother told me and was about to ...... with you Consult. The old prince also used the word "consultation".
"Father, please." Rong Chenghan said very respectfully.
"Your mother, and I like it very much. Over the years, we have been very empty. ...... "The old prince slowly told Rong Chenghan that he was going to take Rong to Chunhui Hall to raise him.
After finishing speaking, the old prince looked at Rong Chenghan with an earnest look in his eyes. Although Su Shi next to him did not speak, his demeanor and tone were also full of expectation.
Rong Chenghan's eyebrows were slightly raised, but he regained his composure in an instant.
The old prince's request was something he didn't expect. But in response to such a scene, although Rong Chenghan has no experience, he can deal with it with instinct.
"Father, Queen and Mother are full of fervent love, and they should have obeyed." Rong Chenghan got up, saluted the old prince and the Su family, and said very solemnly, "It's just that in the current situation, it is absolutely impossible." β
"Why not?" Su Shi couldn't hold his breath and asked hurriedly.
"My father and my mother are both ill and have not yet recovered, so they really shouldn't work hard. The son and daughter-in-law cannot share the worries of their father and the queen mother, and they must not add to the burden of their father and the queen mother. Rong Chenghan's tone was gentle, but at the same time firm.
"Everything inside and outside the palace is complicated, and it all depends on the decisions of my father and the princess. Auntie is young, healthy, and not burdened by housework, taking care of her children is also contributing to the palace and sharing the worries of her father and mother. β
"Xiao'er is still in his arms, and it is most appropriate to stay with his mother/relatives." (To be continued......)
