Chapter 46: The Full Moon (2)
?
Only a day has passed since this incident, and the emperor picked a 'milky' lady and asked Jiang Shouquan to send it.
"How else to say that the emperor is to take care of the mother, although the day of delivery is a little late, but after all, this is the person personally selected by the emperor. Even if I couldn't see his expression clearly through the curtain, I could guess that Jiang Shouquan must be smiling all over his face at this moment, "Niangniang might as well see if you like it or not, the emperor said it, if you don't like it, the emperor will pick it for you!"
I hooked the corners of my lips and nodded to the 'spring equinox', and the 'spring' led in a white 'woman' who was about thirty years old, and the 'woman' bowed her head and bowed to me according to the prompt of the 'spring equinox'.
It looks like it's right, it's not loud, it's a little nervous, but it sounds soft and comfortable.
"Where are you from, how many children have you 'milked', and is there anyone else in the family? "If you come, you will be safe, I can't really refuse the emperor's kindness.
The 'woman' raised her head and looked at me timidly, and the 'spring' was about to remind her of the rules, but she said in a very low voice: "The head of the slave is the steward of your house!"
My house, is it Jifu?
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Jiang Shouquan smiled outside: "It's better to ask Niangniang to inquire carefully, the slave still has to serve the emperor, if Niangniang doesn't like it, send someone to deliver a message to the slave!"
"In this way, there is Father-in-law Lao Jiang, 'spring' equinox, send Father-in-law Jiang for the palace!"
As soon as Jiang Shouquan left, I asked the 'woman': "You are from Jifu!"
She smiled honestly: "Yes, miss, oh no, mother...... The slave maid used to be in the house, serving in front of the old lady, and when she reached the age, the old lady gave the slave and maid to the Cao steward of the outer courtyard, and the slave and maid were in charge. Seeing that I was listening, she continued: "The slave maid is married, pregnant with a child, has given birth to three sons, the younger son is eight months old, the 'milk' water is very sufficient, a few days ago I heard that the old lady is in a hurry to find the 'milk' mother, let me go to the old lady!"
My mother must have put a lot of thought into my business.
I nodded secretly and asked again, "Then why do you say that you were found by the emperor!"
She also seemed to be a little puzzled, and said: "It was the master who called the slave maid to go, and I didn't know where to go after taking the car, and then I stood with a group of 'milk' girls, and someone came to choose, but the slave didn't dare to look up, but I don't know how...... I chose a slave maid, and later I learned that it was originally for you to use, and the slave and maid were relieved. As if sensing that this sentence was disrespectful, she hurriedly explained: "The slave maid has no other meaning, it is just ...... The old lady is 'worried' about the mother, if the slave maid goes to serve others, I am afraid that the old lady will ......"
"I see. I interrupted her, hesitant in my heart, "In this case, in the future, you will say that it was selected by the emperor, and it has nothing to do with others, once you enter the palace, you have to be careful, this is the harem, not the Ji Mansion." I solemnly reminded her, hoping that she was not the one who was not in a mess.
She nodded every day with a little trepidation, and promised: "The slave knows!"
I parted ways to 'Chun' again: "You take her down to change her clothes, arrange a place to live, and then teach her some rules!"
When the 'spring' equinox was answered, I was still pondering.
This matter doesn't seem to be simple, even my father is involved, how can it be so coincidental, the person picked by the emperor picked his own person as soon as he picked it, could it be his father...... bribed the person who helped the emperor choose people, this kind of thing will never let the emperor do it himself, think about it, there is only one possibility.
Really, pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
Since it's my own person, I don't have anything to worry about, let An's temporarily 'milk' with 'jade'!!'Milk' mother's surname is An, except for me and 'Chun', the rest of the people call her Aunt An.
An's is very good at taking children, careful and gentle, the 'milk' water is indeed very sufficient, I observed for a few days, and relieved to 'hand' over the 'jade' to her.
On the fifteenth day of the landing, 'Jade' finally opened his eyes, before he knew to eat and sleep, but now he finally knew to stare at people with big round eyes.
With An's help me take care of 'Yu'er', I took 'medicine' according to the 'medicine' prescription, rested enough time every day, recuperated for a month, and my body gradually recovered.
Before the full moon of 'Jade'er'er', the queen came to see me and said that she was discussing with me what to do with the full moon banquet of 'Jade'er'er', and the queen meant to hold a big event.
'Yu'er is the emperor's youngest son, and he attracted all kinds of eyes before he was born, so what he needs now is forbearance, not publicity, so he said: "Children are not serious, it's better not to make a big deal, just follow the old practice in the palace in previous years, let's make it simpler!"
The queen was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "No wonder the emperor loves you so much, but he thought of going with the emperor, but the palace thought that the palace had not added Ding for many years, and this is your firstborn again, so I want to help you have a good time!"
I smiled humbly: "The queen is compassionate, why don't the concubines understand, it's just that the child is still young, don't lose your blessings because of these!"
The queen nodded and smiled: "Since that's the case, then listen to you!"
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, but I was also a little annoyed by the queen's intentions, since the emperor said that it was simple, why did she bother to take my words again, did she want me to say "big deal", she refuted the emperor's will according to this.
Thinking of this, I was shocked again, I am afraid that it will be me, not the queen, who will refute the emperor's will at that time.
On the day of the full moon, I was inconvenient to go out, only knew that the emperor and the ministers above the third grade, the harem people drank and feasted in the long pavilion, during which the people around the queen came to hug the 'jade', saying that the emperor wanted to see, I rushed to the 'spring' and others to make a 'color', and the 'spring' and Gu Yu took Aunt An to follow together, and when I left, the 'spring' comforted me and said: "Niangniang, the slave's glasses will look at His Highness without blinking, and will never let His Highness be damaged!"
I bowed my head and said, "There are a lot of people, be careful!"
"The slave knows!"
It took them a long time to come back with the crying 'Jade', and as soon as I heard the cry of 'Jade', I was in a hurry, and asked repeatedly, "What's the matter!"
Aunt An hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, Your Highness is hungry!"
'Chun'fen frowned and said: "It's the third princess, when I leaned over to look at the Twelve Highnesses, I poked His Highness's face with my finger, and His Highness cried!"
When I heard this, I was immediately furious, and I said sharply, "Hug me and show me." "When I saw that there was no mark on the face of the 'jade', I gave it to An's, and after An's fed 'milk', I really didn't cry, and I was relieved.
I thought about it for a while and said, "Don't go out with 'jade' in the future, no matter who comes!"
I knew that I was only tempted to say this, but I really couldn't see my children suffering, even if I cried a few times, my heart was like a needle prick.
I still remember that when my sister-in-law gave birth to my nephew, my eldest brother would ask every day when he came back: "Did the child cry today?" If you hear that you are crying, you will frown and be displeased, and if you hear that you are not crying, you will nod and smile: "It seems that you are serving well today!"
I don't think Jade's father would have asked that.
