Chapter 50
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, and younger brother also happen to be hungry." Saying that, Qi Zhe arrived.
"You, why are you still like a child, and you don't say hello first when you enter the door." Qi You taught.
"Second brother, I was wrong, you can spare me, I was trained for a day yesterday, and I haven't started yet." Qi Zhe said with a drooping face.
"Lord Wang, you and the fifth brother should eat first, otherwise it will be too late in a while." The princess said.
"Yes, yes, the second brother hurry up and eat, there are still a bunch of things to deal with today." Qi Zhe hurriedly agreed.
Qi You looked at his younger brother and said to the princess helplessly: "These days will be very busy, and the Lu family and the child will have to work hard for you." ”
"Don't worry, go and eat." Liu answered.
"Child, what child?" Qi Zhe has a good ear.
The princess smiled: "Fifth brother, you have another nephew." ”
"Really, wait, second brother, what did I miss when I went to Jiangnan?" Qi Zhe sighed.
"You, hmph, you've missed a lot, okay, hurry up and eat." Qi You said.
"Oh, yes, no matter what, congratulations to the second brother and sister-in-law for adding another noble son." Qi Zhe said with a smile.
"Congratulations, just use your mouth." Qi You teased.
Qi Zhe pouted and said embarrassedly: "Second brother, you don't know me, hehe, second sister-in-law, my brother owes it first, wait for me to come down this month, let's talk about it, eh, I'm so hungry, hurry up and eat." ”
Looking at Qi Zhe's appearance, Qi You and Liu were happy, the time was not early, Qi You and Qi Zhe also hurried to the outside room to have dinner and hurried to the military headquarters.
Sent away the prince and Princess Qi Zhe and came to Cai Juyuan to see the Lu family, saying that the Lu family was really fated and so dangerous, and they had woken up earlier today, but they were too weak to talk too much. The princess entered the house and looked at Lu Shi lying on the bed, her pale face was almost bloodless, and the maid on the side was feeding her with a spoon and drinking medicinal soup.
Lu Shi also saw that the princess seemed to be struggling to get up, but was also stopped by the princess: "Sister Lu, don't get up if you are weak now, you just gave birth to a child but you have to take care of it, yesterday I was really scared to death in the palace, and I thought that fortunately, my sister is strong enough." ”
"Thank you, sister, care, that, that, how is the child?" Lu Shi had just woken up and had not seen the child yet.
"Sister, don't worry, the child is very good, now in the nurse, you are weak so you dare not let him get close to you, the palace has arranged for a few very good nurses to take turns to take care of him, you can rest assured that the body is raised, the child is inseparable from his mother after all." The princess comforted.
"The concubine ・・・・・ know・・・・・ thanks to the mother... Lu Shi couldn't keep up with the anger after saying a few words.
"Okay, don't talk, you can raise it with peace of mind, the child has the prince and the palace, the prince is very happy to know, and specially asked the palace to bring you some gifts, you can rest assured that your body will get better soon." The princess said: "Okay, the palace is still busy in advance, and I will come to see you another day." ”
"Xie Niangniang, Xia Ju is fast... Lu Shi was really a little grateful, grateful for the princess's promise, now she is extremely weak and unable to take care of the child, only the princess can keep him safe.
After the princess left, Lu fell asleep again, after all, she was indeed too weak, and the vitality she had raised all night in the past half a day had been consumed.
Yunshui Yuan Xibao learned that Lu's body was extremely weak after giving birth, and she was also very worried, if the child didn't have a mother, it would be sad, so she could only let her grandmother send some gifts first, and then go to see her when Lu's was out of confinement.
Since the princess and princess have given gifts to the Lu family, all the courtyards have also prepared gifts to send over, after all, this is a happy event in the palace...
The days have to pass slowly, in a blink of an eye to the fifteenth day of the first month, there is still some spring cold at this time, but the late plum and spring peach are blooming strongly, this Shangyuan Festival is the mark of the end of the New Year's Festival, this day is more lively than the first day of the new year, the sky is just dark, the ten miles of long street is lit up with lanterns, the people are also out to enjoy the moon, light the lantern and set off the flames, like to guess the lantern riddles, eat the Lantern Festival together, reunite with the family, celebrate the festival together, and enjoy it. The palace is also full of bright lights, singing and laughing, Xibao is more yearning for the excitement outside the palace, before she got married, she pestered her second brother to secretly take her out to watch the lanterns and catch the temple fair to eat delicious food, and then sneaked back before the house closed, although it was at the risk of being discovered, the feeling of freedom and ease was a little happy to think about it now. But now I can only sit here dryly, eating delicious food, watching the singing and dancing on the stage, and thinking about the excitement outside the palace.
Emperor Qi Wen was very happy tonight, drank a few more glasses of wine, and made trouble until late before it dispersed, and when Xibao got in the car, he was already a little sleepy, and he didn't want to bathe anymore when he returned to the palace and entered the courtyard, but he was dragged by his grandmother to take a bath and drink some hot sweet soup to have some energy.
Mama Mo said: "Master, the water is still hot in the kitchen, do you want to eat a bowl of Lantern Festival and then go to sleep." ”
Xibao said greasyly: "No need, I have eaten all kinds of flavors in the palace today, and my stomach is still uncomfortable at this time, but I want to drink something light and greasy." ”
Wen Qin on the side said with a smile: "Why is the master still like a child, that Lantern Festival is a glutinous rice sweet, eating too much will cause stomach acid." ”
Xibao also said helplessly: "It's not nothing delicious, those Lantern Festivals can only be eaten in front of me, I am really a little uncomfortable when you say this." ”
"Master, the slave will go and fetch you some honey and salted plum water, you will be better to drink some." Wenqin went out to get a bowl of soup as she spoke.
Xibao looked at the purple hot soup and suddenly felt thirsty, and after drinking a few sips, he felt that it was really raw and thirst-quenching and had a faint vanilla taste.
"Master, today I heard that Mrs. Lu can get out of bed and act." Wen Qin mentioned the news he heard today.
"Yes, it's been ten days, it should be about the same, the Lu family is really strong." Xibao sighed.
"If it's not good, the child will become someone else's." Wen Qin said.
"Huh? What's going on. Xibao asked.
"The slave maid also heard that they said that the Lu family's child was raised by the princess's side as soon as he was born, saying that the Lu family's body was too weak to be raised, you said that Mrs. Lu was desperate to give birth to a child how could she be willing to let others raise it, so she desperately drank medicine and desperately treated, I heard that the Lu Mansion also sent a female doctor in just to let the Lu family get better as soon as possible." Wen Qin told Xibao everything he had heard in the past few days.
"I hired a female doctor, it really cost a lot of money." Xibao laughed. This female doctor is a female doctor who specializes in women and children's diseases, there are only a few in the capital, and there are very few good skills, all of them are hired by the wives of various families and nobles, it seems that Lu Fu really attaches great importance to this daughter, to be precise, it attaches great importance to this baby boy.
"Then why don't we go and have a look, the ladies from the other courtyards have gone today." Wenqin asked.
"Don't worry, let's abide by the old etiquette, and go after the full moon, but Lu Shihui is also going to congratulate you so soon, just send some gifts tomorrow." Xibao yawned.
"Yes, tomorrow the slave and maid will go." Wenqin replied.
"Okay, I'm tired all day, I'm going to rest, you guys go down too, by the way, tomorrow you have to ask Ann Don't forget to wake me up earlier." Xi Bao rubbed his waist and slowly entered the cabinet.
That night, Qi You rested at the princess's place as usual, because Lu's child is now raised by the princess, Qi You also looked at this son a few times before going to bed, but it is more like Lu's, it has been ten days, but it has also opened up a little white and chubby, which is very pleasing, Qi You named the third son Qi Huannian according to the ranking of generations, and the princess happily hugged the child and said: "Brother Nian, there is a name, Huan Nian, do you like it or not." ”
The princess smiled when she saw this: "Master, this child is very clever, as if he can understand our words." ”
Qi You said with a smile: "Aren't all children like this, this king still remembers that Huan Wei was also like this when he was more noisy than him." ”
The princess was also very moved when she heard that Qi You still remembered how her child looked when she was a child, she hugged Huan Nian and said with a smile: "Yes, Wei'er was just as naughty when she was a child, fortunately, the prince taught her well, otherwise the concubine would not be able to control it, you see that the little girl in Huantian is really going to make a fuss if he doesn't look at it." ”
Talking about children, Qi You's heart also softened a lot, these children, no matter which woman gave birth to them, are his flesh and blood, and he values them very much, but he understands that children born in the royal family are destined not to have a too happy childhood, because they are destined to bear too many responsibilities as soon as they are born, and they can only be lively for so many years, as long as they start to study, they will mature quickly, just like him and Qi Zhe.
After chatting for a while, the princess asked someone to take the child down to nurse and rest, and she also waited for Qi You to prepare to rest, and the little maid outside the door reported that there was something in the study, and the princess looked at Qi You and said, "Master, what will happen in the middle of the night?" ”
"It shouldn't be a big deal, so you can rest first, and I'll take a look." Qi You put on his clothes again and went out, and the princess didn't dare to really rest, so she sat on the bed and waited. It shouldn't be a big deal, and Qi You came back in less than two quarters of an hour.
When he saw that the princess was also dressed and waiting for him, he said, "Didn't you go to bed first?" ”
The princess smiled: "The concubine is not at ease, just wait, if you pass the word, it will not be too late to sleep." ”
Qi You got on the bed and pressed the princess into the quilt and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the fifth brother has not finished dealing with some articles in the military department." ”
The princess felt Qi You's tenderness and thoughtfulness and said with a smile: "That's good, the concubine doesn't have to worry, the prince sleeps." ”
"Well, let's sleep, I've been tired all day, and I have to go to court tomorrow." Qi You said softly.
The lights went out, and the princess and Qi You each lay in their own quilts and soon fell asleep. At this time, no one knew what would happen tomorrow, only an inconspicuous carriage stopped at the back door of the palace for a while and set off again.
