Chapter 184: Gift

The news that the lord of Duansu County gave birth to a son, and the wife of the prince of Zhenguo naturally sent someone into the palace to deliver the message, as well as the princess of Nan'an's mansion.

In the evening of the same day, Xiao Lu, the princess of Nan'an, and Duan Shaoyou, the concubine, returned to the Zhenguo Mansion with gifts.

Although Xiao Lu is a daughter-in-law and a junior, she can't stand the shiny royal signboard above Xiao Lu's head, she is a princess who is married.

Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi listened to the words of the porter, and she had to go to the front door to greet Xiao Lu in person.

"I really didn't expect the front foot to send someone to deliver the letter to the princess, and the princess back foot person came." Mrs. Shizi can think about it, and there are many benefits for her youngest son to marry such a princess.

Anyway, she has to serve her daughter-in-law, and she has two other daughters-in-law.

Duan Shaoyou is still a princess, and there is no need to crowd the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination with the scholars of the world. In the second month after getting married, Duan Shaoyou entered the Hanlin Academy.

Besides, Emperor Chu is indeed a little eccentric, but externally, the dignity and honor that should be given to Princess Nan'an are not lacking at all.

The slightest dissatisfaction in Mrs. Shizi's heart has long since disappeared.

There is only one title in the Zhenguo Mansion itself, and he gave it to his eldest son, but his most distressed youngest son is gone.

But although the younger son does not have a title, as long as Princess Nan'an and the youngest son have an heir in the future, both boys and girls will have titles.

In addition, after Princess Nan'an got married, she never stood in front of herself.

Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi looked at her recently, and she only felt more and more pleasing to the eye.

"The aunt in the second room gave birth to a little cousin safely, and the horse and I should have come to congratulate the second uncle and aunt."

Mrs. Shizi affectionately pulled Xiao Lu to the main hall, but left her youngest son behind.

After entering the main hall, the ladies who were talking in the hall got up and saluted Xiao Lu, and Xiao Lu asked everyone to get up with a smile on her face.

"Today is the second aunt's big day, I can't take the lead." Xiao Lu instructed the people behind him to follow. "I also asked my mother to guide me, so that I could personally say hello to my second aunt."

Similarly, the people who ordered people to send rich congratulatory gifts that day also included the queen in the palace, the concubine of Emperor Liu, and the concubine Chen.

Everyone didn't know the inside story, it was normal for Concubine Chen to send someone to give gifts to her daughter Princess Nan'an, why did Concubine Liuhuang, who had always been not so opposed to the queen, also send someone to give gifts to Lord Duansu.

In addition to Concubine Chen's congratulatory gifts, which were received by the princess of Zhenguo, she was not ready to touch the congratulatory gifts of the queen and the concubine Liuhuang, so she invited Princess Xian, who was sitting in the second room, to come forward to receive the gift on her behalf.

Now that the county lord of Duansu finally has a child of his own, Princess Xian is naturally satisfied in her heart.

So Princess Xian, who got the news, smiled and ordered someone to accept the congratulatory gift.

The wish of the lord of Duansu was fulfilled, and he would be well raised in the confinement.

The newly-born brother eats a lot and grows fast, almost every day, and he fades from the red and wrinkled appearance on the day he was born, and he becomes more and more white, tender and fat.

My brother's temper is also very good, except for crying twice when he is hungry and peeing, he rarely cries.

In the daytime, whoever comes to tease, my brother will smile very facefully.

Princess Xian basically comes to the town every day to report to the country, and she hugs her brother every day and is so happy that she can't close her mouth.

Although my brother still doesn't recognize anyone, every time Sister Chu comes over to play with her, my brother's laughter will be extra bright.

On this day, when Princess Xian came over, Sister Chu happened to be sitting on the edge of her brother's cradle and bowing her head to talk to her brother. Lord Duansu was still in confinement, with a forehead on his forehead, and he was smiling at their sister and brother.

In fact, for Sister Chu and Duan Shaolan, Princess Xian also loves her.

But after all, the county lord of Duansu finally gave birth to a son-in-law, and it didn't hinder Sister Chu much. But Duan Shaolan is different, Princess Xian has lived in a place like the imperial capital for many years, and she has seen a lot of tricks in those deep mansions.

Some of the biological brothers in the mansion will still turn against each other, let alone a half-brother like Duan Shaolan.

Princess Xian's vague eyes stayed on Duan Shaolan for a long time when he came one day, and the Duansu County Lord on the side saw it but didn't break it in person.

Suddenly, the brother in the cradle sobbed twice, and the nurse hurriedly stepped forward after listening to the movement, touched the diaper under the brother's body and was still dry, and saw the lying brother wrapping his mouth vigorously, and knew that the brother was hungry.

The nurse picked up her brother and went next door to feed, and Sister Chu'er was full of cute newborn brothers, so she got up and followed the nurse to the next door with her.

"Don't look at Sister Chu'er herself, she still looks like a little girl, but she really likes her brother very much." Princess Xian sat on the stool in front of the bed and said to Lord Duansu with a smile.

"Yes, Sister Chu and Brother Lan both like the newborn brother, Sister Chu has to come to my room to accompany my brother most of the day, Brother Lan is busy, but he also has to come over to take a look when he returns home every day." Lord Duansu felt that at this time, it was time to say something and reassure Princess Xian. "A few days ago, Brother Lan personally selected a piece of seed jade and polished an immortal jade plaque for his brother."

"Brother Lan and Sister Chu are really caring children, it's not in vain that you used to raise them as if they were their own children." Princess Xian said.

"A few days ago, I looked at my mother and looked at Brother Lan'er's expression was wrong, and I thought I would take some time to talk to my mother about it. Brother Lan and Sister Chu have been raised by me since birth, I regard them as my own, and I also believe that the two children are like my biological mother. "The people who can serve in the main room of Duansu County are all her intimate people, Duansu County Lord said to Princess Hexian straightforwardly." I know my mother's concerns, and I know that my mother is thinking about me and my brother. But my mother can rest assured that even if the title of the Zhenguo Mansion really changes in the future. It doesn't hurt to give the title to Brother Lan, I can rest assured of the child's temperament. But Mother Princess, I told you before, Princess Zhaoyue in the palace took a fancy to Brother Lan, and Brother Lan may not want the title of the Duke of Zhenguo in the future. ”

"But now the will for marriage has not been delayed." Princess Xian sighed.

"That's not because Princess Nan'an married the third son of the prince, the case that happened before Jiangnan was also in a uproar, and it was not a good time to give marriage." Lord Duansu said with a smile. "Your Majesty's only two princesses now are going to fall into our Zhenguo Mansion, according to my opinion, Your Majesty is afraid that she will not give marriage this year. Besides, Princess Nan'an only got married in her early twenties, and Princess Zhaoyue was only fifteen, and the royal princess was already noble, and marrying late was nothing. And I gave birth to a child this time, and Emperor Liu's concubine ordered someone to give gifts. ”

"It's true that you say so, Your Majesty has no heirs under his knees, and there are only two princesses, both of whom fell into the Zhenguo Mansion, and they are not taken by other families at all." Princess Xian said with a smile. "I see that Brother Lan is already promising, and with such a virtuous help as Princess Zhaoyue in the future, he will definitely be able to live a better life in the future."

"Isn't it? Concubine Chen's maiden home Ding'an Hou Mansion has declined, Princess Zhaoyue's maternal grandmother is the eldest princess of eternal life, with Princess Zhaoyue's sister-in-law, our Sister Chu's marriage will not have to worry about in the future. ”

On the day of the full moon of my brother, not only Princess Nan'an was present, but Princess Zhaoyue in the palace also came to congratulate her.

The two princesses came, except for the Zhenguo Prince, who had not greeted them in person, and the other people in the Zhenguo Mansion went out to greet them.

Sister Chu took Xiao Xuan to the second room, and as soon as Xiao Xuan appeared in the main room of Duansu County, the ladies who were originally gathered in the room immediately stood up.

Most of the people who can be in the main house of Duansu County today are the ladies of the Xianwang Mansion.

"Auntie, get up." Xiao Xuan quickly stepped forward to personally help Princess Xian, and then turned his head and said to the other ladies in King Xian's mansion. "Aunts, sisters-in-law, hurry up, they are all members of the family, why bother with these false courtesies."

The Xianwang Mansion itself is a close branch of the clan, and the Xianwang and many of his sons are quite powerful, and most of the children in the mansion are promising, so the ladies in the Xianwang's Mansion are still very dignified when they walk outside.

Xiao Xuan knew this even better, and because of the reason for the Duansu County Lord, he spoke even more politely and thoughtfully.

Xiao Xuan sat down and greeted the Duansu County Lord who had just finished the confinement, the Duansu County Lord had done a good job this month, and the whole person's complexion was very ruddy.

Xiao Xuan chatted a few words with the ladies of the Xianwang Mansion who were present, and Xiao Xuan could say a few words on any topic.

"Sister Princess, look at my brother." Sister Chu eagerly took Xiao Xuan's hand and said.

"Sister Chu is rude, how can you call the princess like this." Princess Xian said.

"Uncle and grandmother, it's okay, I also asked Sister Chu to call me like this, which adds a little closer." Xiao Xuan explained with a smile to Princess Xian.

"Yes, the nurse will bring her brother up and show the princess." The lord of Duansu opened his mouth, today because the female relatives who came were afraid of making trouble with his brother, and the nurse was holding his brother in the room next to him.

The nurse got the letter and carefully carried her brother over.

Xiao Xuan took a closer look, and there was a cute fat guy wrapped in the big red swaddling clothes, which was very funny.

Xiao Xuan stretched out his hand and teased him casually, and his brother could laugh loudly.

"I didn't expect my aunt to give birth to such a fat brother." Xiao Xuan took off the jade Buddha bean he was carrying around his neck and put it in his brother's swaddling clothes. "I came to see my brother today, I really like it, and I didn't bring any other gifts. This bunch of jade Buddha beans was given to me by my grandmother on my tenth birthday, and it is not suitable for me to bring such cute things when I grow up, so it is best to give it to my brother now. ”

"That's too expensive." Lord Duansu got up and said.

"It's nothing, jade is the most supportive, and it's best to wear it for my brother." Xiao Xuan smiled and said to the Duansu County Lord. "Auntie, let my brother accept it, I can't let the outside say that I came to see my brother and was reluctant to give anything."
