Chapter 53: Big Sister
Du's due date is in October, and the Fang family has been nervous since September. Coincidentally, in the middle of the month, Fang Xuanling brought back a news that Fang Yongan, the eldest lady of the Fang family who married Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, will enter Beijing at the end of the month!
When Mrs. Lu heard the news, her tears came down, and she was talking about her eldest daughter's preferences for several days, and kept asking people to prepare things that her daughter liked. Fang Xuanling was not at ease, so he invited a doctor to come to the house to check the pulse, and the result of the diagnosis made the Fang family smile - Mrs. Lu was cured!
Mother's illness was cured, and Yongning was relieved. Originally, she thought about treating Mrs. Lu with magic potions, but those doctors went to the house twice in three days to check the pulse, and the diagnosed condition was getting worse day by day, so Yongning endured it, and it was better to use these medicines in her hand at critical times.
On September 23, Duch's labor pains began early in the morning. The Fang family had already arranged for two experienced stable women to live at home, and all the tools were prepared, so they were not busy. Yongning originally wanted to take leave at home, but Mrs. Lu said that she would not let anything, saying that these things were not for her little girl's family to see, and when she came home from school in the afternoon, her nephew was already nursing in the arms of the nurse.
This is the eldest son and eldest grandson, Fang Xuanling got the letter in Zhongshu, and immediately took leave with the emperor and came home, holding his grandson and smiling so much that his eyes were almost out of sight. Since the afternoon, the Fang family has been in an endless stream of congratulatory guests. The arrival of Princess Gaoyang, Princess Jinyang and King Jin can be regarded as rescuing Yongning, who is being visited by a group of ladies.
After sitting down in the small flower hall in Yongning's courtyard, Yongning asked Princess Jinyang curiously: "Her Royal Highness the princess seems to be very happy today, but what is the good thing?" ”
Princess Jinyang squinted her eyes with excitement and said, "I had dinner with my father at noon today, and then my father promised to take me to autumn hunting!" ”
Princess Jinyang has been thinking about this for a long time, and she secretly took Yongning to learn to ride a horse together, although the results are still dismal, but the interest has not diminished at all. Yongning sighed helplessly and said, "Then Gong Gong His Highness's wish has come true...... When you come back, remember to leave some prey for me to taste! ”
King Jin looked at Yongning's weak and complaining expression, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Why bother to let your son bring it to you? Don't you want to go? ”
Yongning's eyes lit up, and then his eyes dimmed again, and he complained to his fingers: "I want to go, but my father will definitely refuse to take me there, the second brother seems to be going this time, but with my father watching, he just dares to smuggle me over, and I am afraid that my father will be caught...... Alas! ”
Princess Gao Yang nodded Yongning's forehead and said, "I usually see that you are a very smart girl, why do you relax when it comes to a critical moment?" Have you forgotten that your eldest sister and my eleventh imperial aunt are also going to accompany you this time, and you will follow her when the time comes, I don't believe that Fang Xiang can still let your sisters get close? ”
"Is that okay?" Although what Yongning said was a question, his tone was extremely affirmative, and the words "If you don't achieve your goal, you won't give up" were written all over your body.
Princess Jinyang took Yongning's hand, shook it vigorously, and said, "This time, we must go together and have fun!" At that time, I will also let you see the hot springs of Lishan, where the water is much clearer than in your village......"
The royal hunting ground is at the foot of Li Mountain, and the emperor's autumn hunting is mostly used to contact the feelings of the clan and attract close ministers. Yongning has been looking forward to the hot springs in Lishan for a long time, and she is not interested in hunting on horseback, but when it comes to hot springs, she will never get tired of it.
Princess Jinyang was still a little uneasy when she returned to the palace, and instructed Yongning: "I heard that the eleventh imperial uncle will arrive in Chang'an the day after tomorrow at the latest, and the date of hunting is set for the seventh day of October, you should hurry up and tell the eleventh imperial aunt, if the eleventh imperial aunt is really in trouble, you will come and tell me, I will go to ask the queen mother, let you be with me......"
Following her own sister and following the princess are two completely different treatments, Yongning naturally hopes that her eldest sister can work here, but if it really doesn't work, then there is nothing wrong with being a companion to Princess Jinyang, so she is very grateful for Princess Jinyang's kindness.
Because there were many things at home, Yongning asked Fang Xuanling to take more than ten days off from Hongwen Pavilion, and concentrated on helping Mrs. Lu with housework and entertaining guests at home. The news of Princess Jinyang was really accurate, and on the 26th of September, just after the hour, the attendants of the Han Wangfu came to report that the King of Han and the princess had been summoned to the palace.
Mrs. Lu knew that she would enter the palace at this hour, but she was afraid that lunch would be used in the palace, and she would have to wait for the second half of the day to see her eldest daughter. Although she knew that her eldest daughter would not be able to get home for a while, Mrs. Lu still couldn't sit still, and she was all over the house, disliking this daughter for a while, and picking on the smell that her daughter didn't like for a while......
The housekeeper begged Yongning with a sad face, but Yongning directly hugged the eldest grandson of the house to Mrs. Lu, which made her quiet.
Finally met Shenshi, Fang Xuanling and Han Wang and his wife returned to Fangfu together. After the lively ceremony, Yongning sat next to Mrs. Lu and listened to her talk to her eldest sister.
This eldest lady of the Fang family is very different from Yongning's impression, judging from the words obtained from her parents and family, this eldest sister is a very cool and irritable person, but now it seems that her actions, words, and even actions show a gentle and elegant style of famous ladies, which is completely different from what Yongning imagined.
This eldest lady married King Han in the year Yongning was born, and now she has given birth to a son and a daughter, and the child also came to Chang'an this time, but today she was left in the palace by the queen. A few years of married life has obviously changed Fang Yongan a lot, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but shed tears when she spoke, although she often complained in her mouth, and often told Yongning that she couldn't learn from her eldest sister, but when she really saw her daughter become like this, she couldn't tell how sad she was.
Fang Yongan naturally knew why his mother was sad, and peeked at King Han, seeing that he was talking to his father and couldn't notice this, he hurriedly whispered to persuade his mother: "Mother, don't do this, let the prince see it, I think I'm suing you!" In fact, over the years, the prince has treated me very well, and he has not suffered any grievances......"
Mrs. Lu wiped away her tears, sighed, and said, "I've heard about it in Chang'an, King Han is so beautiful, where will the concubines in the palace not be wronged?" I don't know how many times I regretted it for my mother, I should have set up a marriage for you early back then, even if it was a small family, it was always better, better than ......"
Fang Yongan's eyes also turned red, but he still forcibly persuaded: "This is all fate...... In her life, her daughter should enjoy this wealth, and she can't avoid it...... It's just a little sister, and the mother has to make plans early! As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Yongning, and stretched out her hand to rub Yongning's hair, "My father has been in charge for nearly ten years, and now there are not a few people who are worried about the little sister, but the most feared thing is that if the emperor also thinks about it, then the little sister will not be as good as me in the future...... Now, the princes are all older......"
Although it is far away from Chang'an, but the situation between the princes and the princes, she has also heard about it in Luzhou, and it is not a day or two to worry about her mother's family......
