Chapter 340: A group of wives and concubines
Li Bao got off the horse, and when he saw Ling'er and his party greeting outside the mansion gate, he quickly stepped up to take Ling'er's hand and said softly: "Wait here for a long time, the sun is so poisonous, be careful of sunburn." ”
Ling'er was happy to see Li Bao care so much about her, but today is to welcome Li Bao and the princess, Li Bao is so nervous about herself, I am afraid that it will make the princess more hearty, so she squeezed Li Bao's big hand and said softly: "Lang Jun, the princess is still watching from behind." ”
Li Bao listened to Ling'er's words, then turned around and said to Zheng Yan: "Yan'er, look, Ling'er and they are waiting here to greet us all morning." ”
Zheng Yan got out of the car and saw Li Bao's caring Ling'er, she felt a little surprised in her heart, but at this time she had to show the bearing of the main room, so she smiled and said: "Oh, I have been waiting for you sisters for a long time, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, let's go into the house and rest." ”
After speaking, Zheng Yan naturally stepped forward and said to Ling'er: "The concubine is the first time to return to our palace, can you lead the way with Sister Ling'er." After saying that, she stepped forward and grabbed Li Bao's arm.
Li Bao didn't seem to hear the meaning of Zheng Yan's words, he laughed and said: "Well, it's time for Ling'er to lead, I've been away from home for a long time, and I can't quite remember the path in the house, let's go, let's go into the house." ”
After speaking, Li Bao took Ling'er with one hand and Zheng Yan with the other hand and walked to the mansion together, everyone present was a little surprised, Xinniang saw Zheng Yan come and put on the appearance of the main room, and wanted to give Sister Ling'er a dismount, but Lang Jun said this and helped Sister Ling'er to relieve the siege.
Yun Fang was indifferent, she didn't feel anything about what happened just now, seeing Li Bao playing like this, she felt that if this continued, Li Bao would only get more and more tired.
Zhang Hui saw some clues from Zheng Yan's momentum as soon as she got out of the car. It's just that I don't know what this princess has in mind, and it's not easy to make a judgment at the moment, so I have to observe.
Ling'er saw Li Bao spoiling herself so much, and her heart felt like she had eaten honey, so she smiled sweetly at Li Bao for a while, and then enthusiastically acted as a tour guide for Zheng Yan, who arrived for the first time.
Zheng Yan already had some hidden worries in her heart, and after seeing Li Bao spoil Ling'er so much, she couldn't help but be a little tired, but she couldn't express it. After all, Li Bao is like this, but how she should maintain her status really makes her think a lot.
After coming to the palace hall, Li Bao and Zheng Yan sat down at the top. So Zi Ling'er and Xia Xinniang, Yun Fang, and Zhang Hui all stood in the center of the lobby and saluted Li Bao and Zheng Yan.
"The slave Cui Ling'er (Shi Xinniang, Yunfang, Zhang Hui) visited Ah Lang, lady. Ah Lang Wan Fu, Wan Fu Niang!"
Zheng Yan saw that the four beauties in the hall were all beautiful and charming, and Cui Ling'er and Yun Fang had already given birth to children for Liulang, although Shi Xinniang and Zhang Hui had not yet given birth, but they were very charming, I am afraid that Liulang would still be fascinated by them.
When Zheng Yan was still thinking, Li Bao spoke, "Well, don't stand still, you've been tired for a long time, sit down." ”
Zheng Yan came to her senses, and after hearing Li Bao's words, she immediately said, "Sisters, Wanfu, please sit down and rest." The concubine has some jewelry and pastries brought by the family, and she will let Qinglan send them to your sisters' rooms later. ”
Ling'er waited for Yiyan to go back and sit down, and Cui Niang Huiniang immediately led a group of housekeepers to slowly come to the center of the lobby and saluted Li Bao and Zheng Yan.
"Slaves and maids and others meet Ah Lang, Niangzi, Ah Lang Wanfu, Niangzi Wanfu."
Zheng Yan saw the slave and maid asking for peace, and she immediately spoke: "Well, everyone should also get up, in the past, you all assisted Sister Ling'er in the mansion to work hard, and now that the concubine has entered the mansion, you must also assist the concubine to take care of all things in the house." ”
Cui Niang, Hui Niang and the others immediately replied in unison: "The slaves and maids will definitely do their best and do things with all their hearts." ”
Zheng Yan's face was as usual after listening to everyone's words, and then said, "Qinglan will appreciate it." ”
After Cui Niang Hui Niang and the others took the reward money handed over by Qinglan, their faces were full of joy, one is who is unhappy if there is a reward, and the other is that the main mother sends a reward.
The big and small affairs in the palace used to be Ling'er's decision, but now the princess is here, she has lectured today, and then sent a reward, which is to give herself and others a sweet date and favor, at this time you must sell the new master a face, show the consciousness of a servant.
So they said to Zheng Yan again: "The slave and maid are waiting for the reward of the lady, and the slave and maid will be loyal to the palace in the future." ”
"Well, everyone get up, the concubine has just arrived, and you need to be more dedicated, take care of the affairs of the house, and don't slack off. If there is anything wrong, you will blame the concubine for being ruthless, and the family law will deal with it! ”
This is a warning, just now I gave a reward to sweet dates, and now I have a stern warning, and it is the only way for nobles to control their subordinates. Cui Niang and Hui Niang are both people who have been in the palace for a long time, how could they not understand this truth. So they replied in unison again, "Slaves and maids must follow the teachings of the lady." ”
After training Cui Niang and the others, Zheng Yan said to everyone: "Everyone is tired today, let's disperse." ”
Cui Niang and the other stewards immediately withdrew from the lobby, and Zheng Yan turned to Li Bao, "Ah Lang is also tired, why don't you go to the dormitory with the concubine to rest." ”
"Yan'er, you are tired from the journey, you should go and rest first, I'm not too tired, I want to go and see the child born to Ling'er and Yunfang first."
Zheng Yan heard Li Bao say this, she immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, Liulang had been away from home for a long time, Ling'er and the two of them had just given birth, and she should have gone to visit as the main mother, but she was a little depressed today, and when she thought of Li Bao's excitement when she saw their child, she was afraid that she would be even more sad, so she nodded. said goodbye to Li Bao, accompanied by Qinglan, led by Cui Niang to the back hall.
Cui Niang led the way, thinking about how to say something to persuade the princess as she walked, although she had never been married, she could also understand Zheng Yan's feelings, every woman longed for her husband to love herself alone.
She pondered for a while before she whispered, "Is the lady a little depressed?" ”
Zheng Yan listened to Cui Niang's words, and she was immediately a little alert. asked, "What does Cui Niang mean by this?" ”
"Oh, it's nothing, the slave family has followed the king from the palace, it can be said that the slave family watched the king and Ling Niang grow up, the lady may not know the ordeal we suffered in the Jinluan Hall of Daming Palace, how much the king and Ling Niang suffered and how much anger they suffered back then, the reason why the king loved Ling Niang so much is because they had suffered together back then."
Cui Niang's words were very in place, and Zheng Yan understood it at once. After figuring it out, Zheng Yan suddenly realized that her mood was much lighter.
However, Qinglan was still a curious doll, and asked Cui Niang: "Ah, what have the king and Ling Niang suffered, Cui Niang told the slave family, the slave family really wants to know." ”
Zheng Yan immediately stopped Cui Niang, she had also talked to Li Bao before, and she generally knew something, so she said to Cui Niang: "Well, I know, thank you Cui Niang!" ”
After listening to Zheng Yan's words, Cui Niang was happy in her heart, knowing that she had successfully left a good impression on the new housewife. She replied, "It's good that the lady understands, hehe, go this way." ”
Li Bao held his daughter in one hand and his son in the other, he only felt that he was really happy at this time. He didn't know if he hadn't crossed over, he would have been as quiet and stable as he is now, and his heart was full of happiness.
Ling'er felt very happy to see Li Bao so happy, but she remembered the scene at the gate of the mansion today, and she said softly to Li Bao: "The princess has just arrived, Lang Jun should give her more respect." ”
Li Bao pierced Xiao Xinyue with his beard while grimacing at his youngest son. For Ling'er's words, he heard but didn't answer, after all, he was not in the mood to talk about this matter at this time, and he was not interested in caring about the little Jiujiu in Zheng Yan's heart.
Ling'er saw that Li Bao didn't react, so she stopped her mouth and continued: "Lang Jun, our child hasn't chosen a name yet." ”
Hearing Ling'er say this, he immediately became interested, so he put down Xinyue, and then kissed his daughter and said, "Xinyue, Aya wants to change the name of his brother." ”
Ling'er came over and picked up Xinyue, and then stood beside Li Bao, reaching out to hold her son's little hand.
Li Bao pondered for a while, and then said, "It's better to be called Li Sheng, what do you think?" ”
Ling'er casually recited it twice, and immediately said with a smile: "Yes, Li Sheng is good, the slave family knows that the word 'Sheng' has the meaning of prosperity and brightness, and Lang Jun is really knowledgeable." ”
Li Bao laughed, and then said to the son in his hand: "Son, you have a name, your name is Li Sheng." Ling'er was also happy, and she gathered aside to tease Li Sheng together.
Xinyue saw that her mother and father were playing with her younger brother, she pursed her lips and said angrily: "Hmph, you are good or bad, you only care about your younger brother and don't care about others." ”
Li Bao looked at his daughter's milky and jealous appearance, he was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly put Li Sheng on the bed, then turned around to report to Xinyue, kissed her twice and said: "Yue'er, don't be angry, Grandpa loves you the most, don't you, come, Grandpa will take you to see another little sister." ”
After Ling'er watched the happy father and daughter leave, she turned to pick up Li Sheng and looked at her son affectionately, her heart was full of warmth and satisfaction.
When Li Bao took Xinyue to Yun Fang's room, he found that Yun Fang was breastfeeding her daughter, Yun Fang's bust was not big, but now she is breastfeeding, so her white and tender breasts/room have increased a lot.
Seeing Li Bao coming, she smiled at Li Bao, and then did not avoid Li Bao just feeding her daughter peacefully, Li Bao said to Xinyue: "Ah, you see that my sister is breastfeeding, Xinyue obediently goes outside to play, and when my sister is full, let's come back to play, okay?" ”
When Li Xinyue heard this, she nodded and said hello.
Li Bao summoned the servants guarding the door of the room and told them to take good care of Xinyue and bring her over later. Then Li Bao turned around and entered the room and closed the door.
Li Bao looked at the warm scene in front of him, slowly came to Yun Fang's side, and hugged her from behind. "Fang'er, I'm sorry, I didn't keep my promise."
Yun Fang said softly: "Liulang, don't blame yourself, Liulang, you are a person who does great things, you can't have children all day long, and the concubine can understand you." Do you know that the concubine has always wanted to be able to have a child for you, so that even if Rokuro is not by the concubine's side, at least there is a child who can comfort the concubine. Now that our child has been born, with her with the concubine, the concubine is no longer afraid. ”
Li Bao listened to Yun Fang's words, and felt even more guilty in his heart, he liked this woman, but he couldn't give her anything, even the company of her husband couldn't give her, he really lost his responsibility and duty as a husband, and now he hasn't even found the sister she cares about the most. However, he had no clue where to find it in the vast sea of people, so he could only send more people.
Yun Fang fed for a while, and when her daughter was full, she put down her daughter and was about to tidy up her clothes, Li Bao stopped her, he leaned over and whispered in Yun Fang's ear: "My daughter is full, husband, I haven't drunk milk yet." ”
