Chapter 173: Uncle Yu is aggrieved
Hearing that Xia Ji sent someone to report the birth of a son, the young concubine Niangniang immediately went to Haomeng Palace to visit after hearing about it.
Chun'e and Xia Chan, who were guarding Xia Ji's side, saw the young concubine Niangniang coming, and asked An to retreat.
The young concubine saw Xia Ji lying on the bed, and a small bed next to the bed turned out to be tied to the four corners with ropes hanging from the beam.
"Mother, are you here?" Xia Ji saw that the young concubine arrived, and hurriedly wanted to sit up.
"Lie down and lie down, you don't have to get up, you just gave birth, you hurt your muscles and muscles, rest is the most important." The young concubine Niangniang pressed Xia Ji with her hand.
When the young concubine came to the side of the small bed, she saw that the little baby in the crib was sleeping soundly, with her little nose winged one by one, her face was powdery, and her skin was pitiful.
"It's so cute, I didn't expect me to be a grandmother in my thirties, haha." The young concubine said.
Xia Ji had a sweet smile on her face and said, "If you take him out, people will think it's your son."
"Isn't it? Haha, I really want to take him out and try it. But when he slept like this, people couldn't tease him. The young concubine looked at the child, looked at his face carefully, and wondered who the child was. However, she found that the child's eyes were large and bright, the bridge of the nose was straight, and he gave people a handsome feeling, and there was no place like Ziman, which made her somewhat comforted.
"Daughter, why do you hang his little bed on the beam, this is the first time I've seen him." The young concubine asked.
"Oh, hanging like this, one is worried that a mouse will go to his little bed; second, it is convenient to shake, and he sleeps better; Third, it is also convenient for cleaning and sanitation on the ground. Natsuhime said.
"Really, that makes sense. Daughter, did you name him? The young concubine sighed.
"Master Sima has explained before, if it is a girl, it will be called Xia Yulu, and if it is a boy, it will be called Xia Zhengshu." Natsuhime said.
"Oh, what's the origin of the name?"
"Conquer the conquest, and the conquest also; Comfortable, calm is also. Uncle Yu said that it was the time of the war with Chu, and he took this name to show the auspicious meaning of the battle. Natsuhime said.
"Oh, I see, he is the Great Sima, and this name is very auspicious for him."
"My daughter gave him a nickname, called Meng Hao."
"What's the name?"
"Hao, literally means the vast sky, and the implication is the deep affection of parents. The daughter is grateful for the kindness of her parents and often meets her parents in her dreams, hence the name. Natsuhime said.
"Oh. The daughter's words made the mother happy. The young concubine was deeply moved.
However, she didn't know that Xia Ji didn't tell the truth, this name was pinning her thoughts on Qu Hao; Even if he is grateful for the kindness of his parents, he is also Xia Ji's own biological parents.
As he was talking, Xiao Menghao suddenly woke up and cried, Xia Ji hurriedly called Chun'e in and hugged Xiao Menghao over to breastfeed.
After eating breast milk, the young concubine hugged Meng Hao over, and saw that the child's big eyes and long eyelashes were very good-looking.
The young concubine looked left and right, and she couldn't tell who this child looked like, and it was inconvenient to ask, for fear of evoking Xia Ji's unpleasant memories.
Xia Ji saw that the young concubine looked at Meng Hao carefully and knew her thoughts. The day before, Xia Ji turned on her mobile phone and called up the photos that Qu Hao had sent her when she was a child and compared them with Xiao Menghao, and found that Menghao and Qu Hao looked exactly the same when they were children.
The young concubine knew that Xia Ji had no experience as a mother, and told her a lot of common sense on how to take care of children, and also brought a lot of baby products, toys and the like.
After the young concubine left, Xia Ji breathed a sigh of relief. Every time she came to Concubine Xia, she was a little nervous, but fortunately, the smug young concubine didn't feel anything abnormal, remembering that Princess Ji Shao once told her that she had not been with her mother since she was very young, and her life had always been taken care of by the nurse and maid, and education was also managed by a special person.
However, Xia Ji still has some weakness, and she feels relieved as soon as the young concubine leaves.
How much Xia Ji hoped that Qu Hao would suddenly appear and pick her mother and son away, and she would give up everything else without hesitation.
After Xia Zhengshu was born, Xia Ji also used carrier pigeons to pass the news to Uncle Xia Yu, which was what Lord Sima had told him a long time ago.
Uncle Xia was very excited after receiving the news from the carrier pigeon, which meant that he had a successor.
But happy to be happy, he can't let anyone know the news, because he has only been married to Xia Ji for more than six months, and it is difficult for people to believe that he will be born prematurely more than three months early.
Uncle Xia Yu was content to quietly get some wine and food at home and pour himself a drink. If you have a son, not only will you have a successor and the title will not be left behind, but it will also block the ridicule of some good people who have no queen for you, and this concept of face is particularly important.
After Uncle Xia signed an agreement with Lu Zhi, the general of the Chu army, to cede Huqiu, although this was done according to Chen Gonggong's instructions, Chen Gonggong did not seem to want to take on the responsibility of losing territory, and he instructed Fan Rui, Guan Kui and other ministers to jointly participate in Xia Yushu's book, accusing Xia Yushu of betraying the country for glory.
Uncle Xia Yu has a hard time arguing. If the evidence is instructed by Chen Gonggong, it will inevitably offend the monarch completely, although he can get rid of the responsibility of losing the pot mound, but it is not difficult to imagine what the consequences will be.
And to bear the responsibility for the loss of Huqiu for Chen Gonggong, his reputation will be severely damaged, and Chen Gonggong will not appreciate and appease him, Xia Yushu has no confidence at all.
Uncle Xia Yu was very distressed, and simply said that he was sick and could not go to court, and dealt with the blow to him coldly by escaping.
Fortunately, Chen Gonggong also knew his dilemma, and instructed Fan Rui and Guan Kui to attack him with the intention of just wanting to dump the pot on him, and he didn't think about what to do with him, after all, Lord Sima Xia Yushu is also his cousin, and he is still the earl who inherited the ancestral seal, not to mention the army of soldiers who have military power in their hands and a hardcore army of 100 times.
Uncle Xia Yu's bitterness was nowhere to be poured, so he could only tell her about it when he wrote back to Xia Ji.
After Xia Ji received Uncle Xia's letter, she thought about it seriously, and suddenly remembered the situation of General Zhang Xueliang in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which was very similar to Uncle Xia Yushu at this time.
If he did not resist the general Zhang Xueliang lost the Northeast, he obviously had Chiang Kai-shek's warrant in his hand, and he didn't dare to take it out, but fortunately, he was smart enough to hand over Chiang Kai-shek's warrant to Yu Fengzhi and let her bring it to the United States, otherwise Zhang Xueliang's fate would be as miserable as General Yang Hucheng.
But until Zhang Xueliang's death, the accusations of public opinion attacking him for losing the Northeast have always followed, and even when Chiang Kai-shek died, he failed to show the warrant that Chiang Kai-shek ordered him not to resist the Japanese army, so that everyone wondered whether the warrant really existed.
However, the public opinion environment in ancient times is still different from that of modern times. The country is the kingdom of the monarch, the monarch is only responsible for the ancestors and future generations, as long as Uncle Xia Yushu is in charge of his father-in-law, he does not need to face the flood of public sentiment and public opinion like Zhang Xueliang.
Xia Ji immediately replied to Uncle Xia Yu, telling him to silence him, and he didn't have to say anything, no need to explain, and no need to complain. But the relevant evidence must be kept and placed in the cracks of the furniture that only the two of them know about, in case the monarch wants to be held responsible, he will use this evidence to attack Chen Gonggong, after all, she is backed by a Zheng Guo who is several times older than Chen Guo.
