The Li family is a big family, although there are small kitchens in each courtyard, but on the fifteenth day of the new year, each courtyard gathers in the hall to have a family banquet together, as a contact relationship. Today coincided with the fifteenth day, and at dinner, except for children under the age of three, the masters of all the houses were present.

At dinner, after the old lady announced the news that the crown princess had given birth to a son, everyone in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was overjoyed.

Since Li Mingzheng sent out the good news, the people of Weiyuan Hou's Mansion have been depressed, and Mrs. Weiyuan Hou and the old lady don't know how many times they have burned incense, how many Buddhas they have begged, prayed for the safety of Concubine Li, and also prayed that Concubine Li's baby is a boy, and now they finally have their wishes come true, how not to teach them to be happy.

Although Li Mingzheng is only the prince's concubine, he can be regarded as having a tie with the prince, and if the prince ascends the throne in the future, the situation of the Marquis of Weiyuan will be more glorious than now. Li Mingzheng gave birth to a son this time, which made the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion feel like he had eaten a reassuring pill, and his whole heart fell.

Li Mingyi also looked happy, it was her eldest sister, so she was naturally happy for her. Ah Bao observed and found that although the second lady smiled happily, it was a little light, and the third lady and the fourth lady also had very appropriate smiles on their faces, but Ah Bao always felt disobedient. Since it is a disobedience, then their hearts are probably the opposite of what they show on the surface.

Ah Bao smiled and talked about the newborn baby with the sisters, and the girls who had not come out of the pavilion all used their imagination to fantasize about the little baby that made the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion extremely concerned, until Mrs. Weiyuan Hou stopped it, and the girls restrained themselves and bowed their heads to eat. Ah Bao was a little pondering in his heart, the eldest sister's wish came true this time, she shouldn't have pointed at her nose and scolded her because her father climbed too high, so he would sacrifice her to be a concubine, right?

Dafang has a total of three sons and three daughters, one of whom is a son, two daughters are concubines, and the remaining two sons and one daughter are concubines, Li Jingchen, who is a 22-year-old this year, is steady and persistent, married the daughter of the Ministry of Works, and is now being released as an official, and his wife and daughter have followed him to take office. The eldest daughter Li Mingzheng was the first child of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, although she was a girl, she was the first child born in the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion at that time, and she was deeply loved by the old lady. Li Mingzheng has a proud personality, because she is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan, she is very noble, and she disdains to look down on her aunt and concubine to get a room, and she has had an idea since she was a child, and she decided to marry into the high gate as a grandmother in the future when she was a child. Although she is the prince's side concubine, she is noble enough, but she is also a concubine, who vomited her half to death, and she hated Ah Bao's father and daughter in her heart, and it seems that she has never subsided over the years.

If it is said that the crown prince's concubine gave birth to a big fat son, then when the old lady announced the flower-viewing banquet in the Changping Eldest Princess's Mansion five days later, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was very cautious.

The eldest princess of Changping is the younger sister of today's holy mother's compatriots, and her status is extremely noble. At this time, the peach blossoms are almost grateful, but the eldest princess of Changping suddenly made such a flower-viewing banquet, who is not Men'er Qing in the capital, and knows that the eldest princess of Changping will come for her eldest son. Of course, it is said that the eldest princess of Changping not only invited the ladies of the noble ladies in Beijing, but also invited the sons of various families to come to enjoy the flowers, which was quite grand.

Except for Li Mingfeng and Li Mingxia, who were engaged a few years ago, the rest of the girls who had already been married were shy and expectant, and only Ah Bao bowed his head with the sisters with black lines on his face and made a shy appearance.

I don't know if it's hairy, I just don't feel shy!! Sure enough, her face is invincible and thick-skinned?

That night, Wei Yuanhou stayed in his wife's room, and the couple talked all night.

"The crown princess gives us a decent Zheng girl, and allows me, as a mother, to visit the prince's mansion, I plan to go to see the Zheng girl tomorrow, what does the master have to say to bring the concubine to the Zheng girl?"

Wei Yuanhou groaned and said, "Tomorrow is too rushed, why don't you go back at three o'clock when the child washes." ”

Although Mrs. Weiyuan Hou was still excited, she also felt reasonable after listening to her husband's words, although the crown princess gave dignity, but she was in such a hurry, it was not good to look at, and the child would go after washing three times, and it would not be dazzling at that time. After thinking about it, he responded: "The master said yes." ”

"You tell the girl to raise the child well, no matter what, this child is the son of His Royal Highness the Prince, although it is not as good as the princess, but it is also noble. By the way, let's bring the brocade girl with you by the way. ”

Mrs. Weiyuan Hou was surprised: "Bring the brocade girl? She is a girl who has not left the cabinet...... "Mrs. Weiyuan Hou knows that her eldest daughter has always been prejudiced against Sifang, and she rarely mentions Sifang in front of her eldest daughter, so as not to make her angry." Although her current daughter gave birth to the prince's child, she was really afraid that her daughter would not be able to think about it when she saw Ah Bao, and she would ruin the sisterhood.

"They are sisters, why shouldn't my sister go to visit my sister?" Wei Yuanhou didn't know the concerns in his wife's heart, and said disapprerovantly: "The fourth brother's contribution in Jingcheng over the years is not small, the Beiyi people often go south to plunder, thanks to the fourth brother guarding Jingcheng, the court is the time to employ people, the fourth brother's credit can not be erased, Jin Yatou is the only daughter of the fourth brother, so it is not impossible for the two sisters to be close." ”

Mrs. Weiyuan Hou knows this truth very well, and only hopes that her eldest daughter will not be so stubborn, "Okay, I'll also bring a maid by the way, so it's not dazzling." ”

Wei Yuanhou felt that it was okay, so the couple stopped talking.

*******

Two days later, Ah Bao went to greet his grandmother, but he didn't want to be named.

Mrs. Weiyuan Hou affectionately took Ah Bao's hand and said: "Today is the third day of the fourth brother's bath in the prince's mansion, I and Yi Yatou went to the prince's mansion to visit the side concubine, Ming Jin has not seen my sister for a long time, the side concubine misses it very much, you can also go over." ”

Ah Bao glanced at the old lady and saw that she had a smile on her face, looking kind and gentle.

The rest of the Ming, except for the smaller eleven and twelve, all looked envious and jealous, but they didn't dare to say anything about what the elders decided.

After breakfast, Ah Bao and Li Mingyi went out with Mrs. Weiyuanhou.

Li Mingyi is about to be married in May, probably the youngest daughter of the big house, who has been raised with a delicate and lively temperament, pulling Ah Bao to talk about her nephew who has not met, and it seems that she is very yearning for the child born by her eldest sister. Mrs. Wei Yuanhou smiled and watched the two sisters talk together, and she was very happy that Ah Bao was close to her daughter.

Although Bao's mother is not around, he looks lonely, but because he has a competitive father, he is more noble and decent than the girls in the other rooms in the house. Mrs. Weiyuan Hou knows Li Jiyao's current weight, although Ah Bao's future is uncertain now, but with Li Jiyao as his backing, he will definitely not marry much worse in the future.

The prince's mansion is relatively close to the palace, covers an area quite wide, when the prince became a relative out of the palace to build the mansion, Emperor Zhengde also personally ordered the Ministry of Industry to spend a year, and doubled on the basis of the original mansion, and the layout is even more exquisite.

The carriage stopped in front of the prince's mansion, although Concubine Li gave birth to the fourth son of the prince, and there was no grandeur of the eldest son and the second son, but there were still a lot of people who came to give gifts.

The two girls got out of the car with Mrs. Weiyuanhou, and soon the grandmother arranged by the prince's mansion came to lead them in.

"Mrs. Weiyuan Hou is finally here, the crown princess was still thinking about you before, Concubine Li gave birth to a meritorious child, and gave birth to a fourth brother, the crown princess doesn't know how happy she is."

Mrs. Wei Yuanhou had a smile on her face, and naturally knew that the grandmother in front of her was served by the crown princess, and after a turn of thought, she knew that the princess was here to show her goodwill, I am afraid that this is still a blessing from Li Jiyao. "Thank you for the love of the crown princess, where can I greet Mama in person......"

The two of them were talking politely back and forth, and the grandmother spoke softly, and the words she said were extremely heartwarming, and her eyes turned to the two girls behind her. Mrs. Wei Yuanhou just didn't know, and followed Mama into the backyard with a smile.

Mrs. Weiyuan Hou took the two girls to greet the crown princess first. The crown princess is a handsome woman, she looks about thirty years old, she is graceful and luxurious, the smile on her face is just right, and she is kind and majestic.

The crown princess personally helped up Mrs. Weiyuanhou, exchanged a few words with Mrs. Weiyuanhou, and moved her eyes to the two girls behind Mrs. Weiyuanhou, and finally fell on Ah Bao, and said with a smile: "This child has some eyes, but which girl in the house?" ”

"It's five girls Mingjin." Mrs. Wei Yuanhou introduced.

Po bowed to the crown princess again.

The crown princess smiled: "It turned out to be the beloved daughter of General Zhenbei, and her appearance is really peugeot, and all the girls in your house are outstanding." ”

"She is a villain, she deserves such praise from you."

During the conversation between you and me, Ah Bao received a bracelet with a whole body of emerald green filigree as a gift from the crown princess in the name of the elders, which made Li Mingyi envious.

Because the crown princess still had to entertain the guests who came to give gifts, Mrs. Weiyuan Hou took the two girls to Concubine Li's courtyard.
