Chapter 402 New Year
After the husband and wife returned to the mansion, they hurriedly changed their clothes and took their children into the palace to visit the emperor and the queen mother, which is the filial piety of children.
The Queen Mother was very happy to see Brother Yi, holding it in her arms and not letting go, Brother Yi can already speak simple words, but she doesn't know the Queen Mother, she can only scream, and she is not afraid of life, she giggles at everyone, and she can't provoke the Queen Mother who likes it.
"I've been waiting for you to come back, I heard that the emperor said that you did a very good job there, and praised you several times, and the mourning family was very pleased."
The Queen Mother also praised Li Wenhao and his wife, and they gave the royal family a long face.
"The emperor's grandmother has a good reputation, and the grandson still has a lot to ask his father for advice, and the old ministers have also mentioned a lot."
Li Wenhao smiled modestly.
"Well, it's always good to go out and learn more skills, how long can you stay when you come back this time."
The Queen Mother asked with a kind smile.
"I'll be back for about ten days."
"Oh, it's a long way to go, so I should have left earlier."
Accompanied by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor for dinner, the father and son went to the study to discuss the affairs of the court, and Jingfu distributed the gifts she brought to the harem, whether they knew each other or not, whether they had a relationship or not, everyone in the harem had a share.
They are all purchased from Guangdong, and the gifts of each concubine are all different, each with its own characteristics, and it is very thoughtful and intimate.
The next day, Jingfu went to visit several relatives who had good relations with the clan, gave gifts, visited the third sister-in-law, the seventh daughter-in-law, the children and others, and brought gifts to the eighth uncle's family.
After three days of busy work, Jingfu went to the Du family and the Yang family and other relatives and friends to sit for a while, talk about their own situation, and find out whether everyone's life is going well.
Sister Pan'er's belly is big and she is about to give birth, and her husband and wife are harmonious, and her mother-in-law respects them very much, and she lives very comfortably, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.
My cousin is going to get married at the beginning of the year, and after getting married, he will leave the Hanlin Courtyard and go out to accumulate political achievements.
And in the Du family, except for Du Zhao and his wife, who like to make a little noise, everyone is also very stable and harmonious, and there is nothing major.
It's just that this year, the old lady's health is getting worse and worse, and she is sick again in winter, which is a bit dangerous, Jingfu went back to take a look, her life is not long, and secretly told Du Peng and Du Heng to get them ready.
Especially the young sons and girls, the engaged should hurry up, and the action of getting married is faster, the old lady is a first-class wife, and the Du family has relatives to keep filial piety, which is a delay.
When Du Peng heard this, although he was a little sad, he still beat his spirit and prepared, and the three brothers once again joined forces to seriously prepare for the old lady's affairs.
The old lady divided the family property very early, so the three brothers of the Du family have no disputes over property, and the shrewdness of the businessman is reflected here.
After coming back, Jingfu rested for two days to celebrate the New Year, everyone was very happy this year, this year the wind and rain were smooth, there were no particularly major disasters in the past few years, the emperor was also very happy, and the recuperation for a few years finally had some results.
On the last day before the Chinese New Year, the emperor rewarded the ministers with some blessings as gifts, and then sealed the pen.
But the only person who is unhappy is Li Wenjin, and the queen is not good, and it is also a mess of life.
And his husband and wife are not harmonious and have no eldest son, but he has a very close relationship with the tenth princess recently, hoping to ease the relationship and have a son-in-law in the future, but the tenth princess is not willing to get close to him at all, not to mention that a few days after giving birth, she can't get pregnant so quickly, she still wants to die.
On the grounds that the lochia was not exhausted, he was not allowed to enter the house at all, and let him go to the side concubine or concubine to rest, and the door was not allowed to enter, which was also cold-hearted.
Li Wenjin was helpless to rub the fire, so he could only hold the sons of the two side concubines.
The emperor didn't ask about Li Wenjin's state, and he didn't care much about his affairs, and he didn't even ask about the eldest daughter born to the tenth princess, and he didn't even mention the name.
It stands to reason that the concubine is also precious even if she gives birth to a daughter, and she will be reborn in two years, and it doesn't matter if she is not too big-eyed, how can the eldest daughter be a county lord and a county lord, and it is still the blood of the clan that is noble, but the emperor doesn't like the style of the ten princesses, and he always gives a cold face and ignores it.
At the New Year's banquet, the ten princesses also came out, and they lost a lot of weight, so it can be seen that the days are not going well, and the mood is not good, even the confinement is not good.
There are butterfly spots on her face, which affects her appearance very much, she is originally a yellow skin, and even the thick makeup powder can't cover it, and she looks more and more glamorous than others.
Jingfu didn't pay attention to these things, she didn't come back after a year, so naturally she had to talk to the princesses of the clan and contact her feelings.
"You went to Guangdong, I saw that life was good, and my little face became more and more delicate."
The third princess pinched Jingfu's face, envious, this girl is getting more and more beautiful, a little more mature than when she was a girl before, like a delicate and blooming rose, charming and moving, with outstanding temperament, it is difficult for people not to pay attention.
"Where, it's my grandmother's credit, Guangdong is hot and humid, I didn't adapt to the climate at the beginning when I went there, Cantonese people love to make soup, my grandmother followed and learned the craft, and made soup for me every day.
Jingfu laughed and teased herself and everyone, saying some happy jokes, is it the New Year, the atmosphere is relaxed and happy.
"It's a little fatter, but it's better than being thinner."
The fifth princess also looked at it and smiled kindly.
"Where do you dare to lose weight if you have a child, I'm busy all day, I help people in the pharmacy, and I have to teach Brother Yi to speak when I come back, I'm busy all day, I eat a big bowl at every meal, and I can't sleep at night if I can't eat enough."
Jingfu smiled.
"You're also an idle person, but it's better to be busy, and live a fulfilling life."
The third princess also smiled and nodded.
When the tenth princess heard this, she turned her head and said: "It's not appropriate for the princess to go to see a doctor, it's against the royal rules, don't let people talk about it, it's not good to let people talk about it, it's a child's mother, you can't be too arbitrary." ”
Originally, a few concubines said it very pleasantly, but she inserted a pole horizontally, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkwardly silent. Jingfu also pursed her lips until she didn't immediately open her mouth to refute it.
The third princess touched Jingfu with her hand and shook her head slightly, meaning forget it, don't look for it for the New Year, it's not good to attract the emperor's attention again, and the ministers are all there.
Jingfu didn't speak, but turned her head to talk to the fifth princess about what she had seen and heard in Guangdong, ignoring the tenth princess, and the third princess ignoring her, and also telling jokes with the big guys.
No one paid attention to her, which made her look very embarrassed, the ladies around her covered their mouths and smiled, the ridicule in their eyes was visible, the ten princesses' faces were blue, but no one was stubble, and you couldn't find an excuse if you wanted to make trouble.
As soon as I looked up, I saw Li Wenjin staring at her with a cold gaze and a serious expression, with a great sense of warning.
