Chapter 223: Spring Hunting
The doctor sent by Xiao Xuan was not a doctor, but Doctor Shi, who had been serving the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion.
Dr. Shi's medical skills are exquisite, and he is ranked first in the entire Jokhang territory, because he was born in a family and walks in various families in the imperial capital all the year round.
Now everyone in the hall heard that Sister Meng was pregnant, and their faces were full of joy.
Sister Meng'er's mother-in-law naturally recognized Dr. Shi, and at this time, Sister Meng'er's mother-in-law stood up excitedly. Although she only has a son under Sister Meng's husband, she only has a few granddaughters born now, and now that Sister Meng is pregnant, she is naturally happy.
Although some time ago, she used Xiao Xuan's words to send her two aunts to her son's courtyard. But really, the grandson of the concubine must not be the grandson of the grandson who can be valued by her.
"Doctor Shi, how long has my daughter-in-law been pregnant?" Sister Meng'er's mother-in-law looked at Sister Meng at the moment, and she only felt that she was all right. "How's her body doing? But what should we pay attention to? ”
After this question, not only Sister Meng'er's mother-in-law looked at Dr. Shi, but Mrs. Zhenguo also stared at Dr. Shi tightly.
"This young lady has been pregnant for more than two months, but recently the young lady seems to be a little depressed, so she has some fetal gas." Doctor Shi stroked his beard and said. "But fortunately, the problem is not very serious, today I will first draw up a few prescriptions for the young lady to protect the fetus and fix the gas, and the young lady will drink it for about ten days. Pregnant people should not think too much and worry, since the young lady is pregnant, her own mood must be more open, so it is good for the young lady and the fetus in the womb. ”
Sister Meng'er put her hands lightly on her lower abdomen and bowed her head silently.
"Yes, we will definitely follow Dr. Shi's instructions." Sister Meng'er's mother-in-law was very eager to tell Dr. Shi, and turned her head to say to Sister Meng'er again. "My son, from now on, you just have to take care of the baby. If anyone is mischievous in the house, let someone come and tell me, and I'll take care of it for you. ”
When the banquet was about to end, Sister Meng found Xiao Xuan alone.
"I've seen the princess." Sister Meng wanted to salute Xiao Xuan.
"If you're pregnant, you don't have to be polite, just sit down and talk about something." Xiao Xuan didn't wait for her to make a move, and quickly stopped her. "Is there something to find me?"
"I came today to thank the princess for being willing to give Sister Yan a chance." Sister Meng said very respectfully to Xiao Xuan. "Sister Yan is the youngest child of her mother, and her mother and father are inevitably indulgent and pampered to her, which connived at her temperament. As an older sister, Sister Chu bullied Sister Chu, who was younger than her, and was rude to the princess, the princess was willing to give her a chance to change, and my mother and I were very grateful to the princess. ”
"It's best if that's what you think." Xiao Xuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Sister Meng'er and said. "I actually have no intention of meddling in the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion, if it weren't for Sister Yan'er doing too much, I wouldn't have interfered easily. Now I see that Sister Chu has learned a lesson, and I have also asked Sister Chu, at least now Sister Chu will not take the initiative to provoke Sister Chu again, I don't have to force Mrs. Zhenguo to rectify her own daughter into something, Sister Zhen can do this and I am enough. ”
"We know, Sister Yan'er's temperament is difficult to change, and we will definitely restrain her well."
"Well, since you are pregnant, let's have a good baby, presumably Mrs. Shizi will take care of Sister Hao now." Xiao Xuan said. "Your mother-in-law is measured, why did she embarrass you before, you must have counted it yourself."
"Yes, my mother-in-law is not very mean." Sister Meng smiled helplessly. "I know the inside story."
The family circle of the imperial capital is so big, before marrying Daohe Mansion, her mother-in-law has always been a very hearty character in her eyes, and she gets along very well with her in-laws, concubines, and younger generations, and her reputation in the diplomatic world is not bad.
At that time, the mother-in-law had already chosen a candidate for her son's wife, and the two families had put Xiaoding, so they almost exchanged Geng posts. However, Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi stepped in at this time, disrupted the marriage of the two families, and did some things to let Sister Meng marry into the He family.
Sister Meng heard that the girl who almost made a marriage contract with her husband before, and after her mother disrupted the marriage, she married a gentleman in a hurry, and her married life was really bad.
The girl's mother was her mother-in-law's handkerchief, and the girl and her husband grew up as childhood sweethearts. The girl didn't marry well, and the family didn't hold any grudges, which made her husband and mother-in-law feel even more guilty, and she couldn't get their attention in any way she accommodated.
"Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi has really put a lot of thought into thinking about her daughter's life, and she can be called a loving mother. But she harmed an innocent girl's life, and you will definitely lose something after enjoying the benefits. Xiao Xuan said. Sister Chu said that you are a gentle and good sister, you can continue to live with peace of mind when you are pregnant. You are not a bad person, and you must be able to seek kindness one day. ”
"Thank you, princess, for your teachings." Today, she was suddenly diagnosed with a pregnancy, and Sister Meng'er's heart was naturally agitated.
When I returned to the house, the carriage from the house came to pick up the people.
Sister Meng was about to raise her hand to help her mother-in-law into the carriage, but her mother-in-law shook her head gently.
"In the future, you don't have to do these petty work." Her mother-in-law looked at Sister Meng'er's stomach and said in a soft voice. "You are pregnant with my brother's first child, and I am not the kind of mother-in-law who wants to let my pregnant daughter-in-law serve me. What I said before was not only for your mother, but for you to take care of the baby in the future, and if there is anything bad for the aunt in the yard, let someone report it to me. ”
"My daughter-in-law has written it down." Sister Meng lowered her head and said very softly. "In the future, my daughter-in-law will definitely take care of herself and let this child be born safely."
"Hey, you're not my favorite daughter-in-law. You should know that it is precisely because of your mother's intervention that the innocent Sister Yi was forcibly assigned to a gentleman, and now Sister Yi not only has to use her own home decoration to fill the hole in her mother-in-law's house, but her first child is because of her excessive worries. Sister Yi'er's mother and I have a handkerchief, she is the child I watched grow up, and your mother harmed Sister Yi'er for life in order to let you marry into the He family. ”
"My daughter-in-law knows." Sister Meng looked up, and her eyes were already shining. "It's my daughter-in-law's fault, my mother did that kind of thing just to plan for me."
"That's it, the wood is already in the boat. Originally, you didn't have a brother's child, but now that you are pregnant with a child, you are destined to live a lifetime in the He family. I gave birth to a brother, I know, he is soft-hearted, and it will be good if you husband and wife get along for a long time. ”
"Mother's words and daughter-in-law have all been recorded." Sister Meng nodded solemnly. "If you marry into the He family one day, you will be the wife of the He family for life."
After some time, the time for spring hunting came, and Emperor Chu wanted to take hundreds of officials on a trip.
The King of Qin was appointed by the Emperor of Chu to stay in the imperial capital to guard, and the other princes and the kings of the county were all serving the Emperor of Chu, Xiao Lu was pregnant and did not follow, but Xiao Xuan specially ordered someone to make a riding costume, thinking that he could go out to relax.
Concubine Liu was worried that she was going crazy, and on the day of departure, she specially let Xiao Xuan enter the palace and told Xiao Xuan to do something before letting her go.
Xiao Xuan looked weak, but he practiced riding and archery kung fu when he was a child. It is not very proficient, but with her riding and archery skills, she is still good among the ladies in the imperial capital.
Her horse was also specially selected by Emperor Chu for her, she was used to it, and when she was in the palace in the past, she would ride a horse around the horse farm in the palace every three or five times. It's just that there is no horse farm in her princess's mansion, and her horses are still kept in the stables of the palace after she gets married.
After arriving at the camp, Xiao Xuan found her own camp tent, and couldn't wait to let Lu Lin and Dan Tang find the riding clothes in their bags and wait for her to change into them.
As soon as she changed into a newly made riding costume, she also came to Ning Guiren, who was also waiting out of the palace.
Because Emperor Chu didn't value women, the state affairs were busy, and as he got older, he had less time to go to the harem. In these years, Ning Guiren has neither given birth nor been promoted, but because her father has to use it, she has lived a very leisurely and comfortable life in the palace.
Emperor Chu brought Ning Guiren here this time, also because Ning Guiren was born in a tribe and was good at riding and archery, and Ning Guiren was very close to Xiao Xuan since he entered the palace, so he brought Ning Guiren here so that she could be a companion with Xiao Xuan.
"I heard that your colt won't be able to come to the spring hunt this time?" Ning Guiren had already changed into a silver-red riding outfit, pulled all her long hair behind her head, and walked in with a horsewhip in her hand, looking very sassy. "No wonder Your Majesty appointed me to accompany the spring hunt alone, it turned out to be your blessing."
"The military department has a lot of backlog of affairs a year ago, and my colt can't leave his errands to play with me." Duan Shaolan couldn't accompany him this time, Xiao Xuan felt a little regretful, but there was no way.
Fortunately, Emperor Chu is a caring father, and Emperor Chu, who has always hunted in spring without concubines, specially brought Ning Guiren, who is good at riding and archery and surrendered with Xiao Xuan, this time, and Ning Guiren's camp tent is also set up next to Xiao Xuan's camp tent, which is convenient for the two to come and talk.
"Okay, let's not talk about that." Ning Guiren said with a hearty smile. "It's really rare for me to be able to go out of the palace to play once, I see you've changed your clothes. Let's go, go out with me and run around outside. There is no horse farm in your princess's mansion, and you haven't ridden a horse for a few days, let me take you to practice first, don't wait until tomorrow when the spring hunt officially begins, and you will make a joke about your riding skills by then. ”
Xiao Xuan said that, and followed Ning Guiren out to run several laps in the open space.
Xiao Xuan, who hadn't touched a horse for more than half a year, was indeed a little rusty at first, but fortunately, the foundation of many years of practice was still there, and after riding for a while, he quickly became familiar with it.
