Chapter 342: Child
The Changqing Hall has already been newly decorated, and the sound of the orchestra silk and bamboo can be heard from afar, the red silk is flying, the glass is colorful, the fragrance is endless, the wine is mellow, and even the air is floating in the dizzying festivity.
The princes, ministers, princes and nobles all arrived, took their seats, and saw Ying Che and Jiao Niang come in, saluted together, and congratulated the queen on her joy.
The hall was full of costumes, smiling, whether it was sincere congratulations or not, they all put on a posture.
This is the most favored empress of the emperor today, and no one dares to disrespect her.
Ying Che and Jiao Niang stood side by side, accepting thousands of congratulations from everyone, Ying Che said "flat", everyone thanked him and stood up, and when the two of them sat down, Fang followed and sat down.
At this time, Jiao Niang's belly has been more than six months old, and it is high and bulging, Pang Ce has diagnosed Jiao Niang's pulse, saying that there are twins, so the belly is extra big than the previous fetuses.
Ying Che carefully helped Jiao Niang to sit down, and took a soft cushion for her to lean, so that she could sit more comfortably, everyone saw that the new emperor was so careful to the queen, they were all amazed, they knew that the new emperor was already very fond of the queen when he was in the mansion, but he didn't expect to be pampered to this point, and even this little thing was not faked.
Looking at the servants waiting next to him, it seemed that it was not the first time he had seen the new emperor like this, as if even they were accustomed to it.
Not long after, Brother Qian'er woke up, the nurse hurriedly came from the side hall with him, Brother Qian'er woke up and couldn't see his mother, so he looked for it, and cried urgently, Jiao Niang took Brother Qian'er from the nurse's hand, Yingche wiped his tears with a smile, and scolded him, "Stinky boy who has no interest." ”
Brother Qian'er knew that it was not a good word, so he hummed and chirped twice to complain to his mother.
Ying Che went to shake his hand again, and he slapped his father angrily, which made Ying Che laugh loudly.
"Come, my father will hold you, and it is inconvenient for your mother to carry her little brother and sister, so she can't hold you. Ying Che couldn't help but say that he held Brother Qian'er in his arms, but Brother Qian'er didn't do it, he grabbed Jiao Niang with one hand, and his little butt was raised high, but he didn't sit on Ying Che.
"You stinky boy, you don't want your father to hug you. ”
Jiao Niang laughed at their father and son, and asked Ying Che to put his brother between the two of them, Wu Dan brought a goose feather mat to him, and Brother Tuan saw that his younger brother was sitting between his father and mother, and he had a small table of his own, and no one paid attention, I don't know when he slipped to Jiao Niang's side, and when Jiao Niang found him, he took off his shoes and climbed behind Jiao Niang.
"Mother, I want to eat with you too. "Being caught by Jiao Niang, Brother Tuan was a little embarrassed, smiled at Jiao Niang, and hugged her neck to be coquettish.
Jiao Niang glanced at him, "My brother is small, are you also small?"
Brother Tuan was stupid, Ying Che saw it, and said: "Okay, don't talk about him, just let him sit here, come to Brother Tuan'er, sit on my father's side." ”
Brother Tuan immediately smiled, crawled to Yingche's side with his hands and feet, and Jiao Niang hated their father and son, "You will get used to children, and you will sing red face, and I will sing white face." ”
Originally, before giving birth to children, Jiao Niang thought that Ying Che was a strict father, and when the children were born one by one, Jiao Niang knew that Ying Che felt more sorry for the children than her, and she was still spoiled by the children, so when something happened, the children would rather go to their father, basically to respond.
On the contrary, it is Jiao Niang, who disciplines them very strictly, does not allow them to be like this, does not allow them to be like that, and because of this, every time someone asks them whether they are good for their father or mother, they must answer that their father is good.
Ying Che smiled and coaxed: "Okay, today is a big day, don't discipline them." ”
Jiao Niang was helpless to their father and son, and instructed Brother Tuan'er, "Then sit there and eat, and don't eat a bite and play for a while." ”
These children, the eldest is calm, the second is naughty, and the third is still young, so I can't see what kind of temperament, but now it's a little annoying.
Jiao Niang glanced at Sister Yu'er, who was sitting on her table in a regular manner, and had the momentum of a princess at every glance, Fang Jue was satisfied, she was still a good daughter, sensible and well-behaved, she was only looking forward to giving birth to two daughters in this birth, that would be intimate.
However, Brother Yuan is not bad, sitting in his own seat to eat and eat vegetables, he is only four years old, and he has already shown a quiet and introverted temperament, so steady, better than his father.
Seeing that their family is so harmonious, there will naturally be people who flatter, Cao Heyang, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, has always been able to please people, he stood up and toasted to Yingche and Jiao Niang, "The emperor and queen are so loving, it is the blessing of the people, the blessing of the common people, Weichen is here to pay tribute to the emperor and the queen, may the emperor and queen always be united and stay together for a hundred years." May the prince and princess be happy and live a long life. ”
Regardless of whether it was false affection or hypocrisy, these words made Ying Che very useful, and Ying Che smiled: "Cao Aiqing is very good at speaking, I remember your words." ”
Cao Heyang's eyebrows were flying, and he was overjoyed, in the past, he was just a mere editor, and he had no real power, so he would get some words, and he was ignored by that group of noble officials and nobles.
Today, he had the courage to toast to the emperor and queen, but he stood out and was praised by the emperor, which was his supreme glory.
Jiao Niang's eyes couldn't help but fall on him, took a deep look, remembered it, and then shifted it.
Another person flattered: "According to Weichen, the queen mother's pregnancy is even more blessed, in the queen's belly, accompanied by the queen mother to worship the ancestors and worship the temple to receive gifts, this great blessing is what ordinary people have." ”
Everyone agreed, all said that the little prince was blessed, and the Duchess of Huaguo smiled and said: "The courtiers heard that the mother has twins? The courtiers first congratulated the emperor and queen in advance, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the mother. ”
Jiao Niang always knew that Duchess Huaguo had always been able to speak well, but she didn't want to be so good at sycophancy, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I don't want Madame to be so proficient in news." Saying that, she glanced at Rou Niang, Rou Niang smiled lowly, and asked, she just talked to her father, and her father announced the whole family in a thoughtful manner.
"Mrs. Cheng said that the palace also hopes to give birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes for the emperor. "The delicate charm is noble, gentle and smiling, which is refreshing.
As soon as the words fell, he heard a voice as sharp as two pieces of porcelain slashing each other coming out of the hall door, "The dragon and phoenix are auspicious, but not everyone has this blessing." If the twins were two boys or two girls, it would be not a blessing but a curse. Didn't the Duchess of Huaguo remember that the royal family of Great Qin stipulated that if there were twins, in order to ensure the stability of Great Qin, they would not be able to stay. ”
Everyone looked at the door together, only to see the imperial concubine wearing a large crimson flower velvet cloud satin dress on the ground, like a ball of thorny roses blooming from a distance in front of them, and the faces of Ying Che and Jiao Niang sank in an instant.
