Chapter 45: Childbirth and Canonization

Although the days of morning sickness were difficult, the days passed day by day, and before you knew it, the time was November.

At the beginning of the sunny day after the snow, Qiu Yulan tied a handkerchief on her forehead, leaned on the couch, looked at her second daughter in swaddling clothes, and asked her husband with a wicked smile: "Didn't you say that she was not well-behaved, and you want to help me clean her up?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ How about she didn't give her a beaded ribbon until she turned three? Jiang Yashuang gently poked her daughter's red little face with her fingertips, and asked flatteringly.

Lack of greed is human nature, and when she thought that her wife could not have children, Jiang Yashuang felt that it was also a happy thing to be able to raise her nephew; Later, his wife became pregnant, and he was trembling, only asking for the safety of mother and child; When Jiang Jinglang landed smoothly, Jiang Yashuang didn't say anything, but he also thought in his heart that it would be good to have another child and a mother and child safe!

Then Qiu Yulan was really pregnant again, and he felt that he already had a son and a nephew under his knees, and it would be nice to have a daughter - now he really looked forward to a daughter, and immediately left his previous promise to Qiu Yulan behind.

Now that his wife mentioned it, he reluctantly said a way to punish him, which immediately made Qiu Yulan laugh and fell: "Did she wear beaded flowers before she was three years old?!" I have no conscience, I forgot about me when I had a daughter, didn't I? ”

"Nothing!" Jiang Yashuang said seriously, "Isn't this worried about being punished on your daughter and hurting your heart?" ”

"It's going to be oily!" Qiu Yulan glanced at him, "What about An'er and Lang'er?" It's not convenient for me to go out now, so you need to keep an eye on it outside! ”

Jiang Yashuang said yes again and again, and said, "I'll go to see our daughters after I finish watching them...... But how naughty are boys, Xiu Mu thought that he hadn't been with them for a few days that day, so he led them to play, but he was tired like something after half a day, not at all like I was sensible and obedient when I was a child! ”

"It's really a new person who forgets the old one!" Qiu Yulan said speechlessly, "When it's hot this year, you still count your daughter, who is not as sensible and considerate as Lang'er!" In a blink of an eye, the ignorant has become Lang'er! ”

"I'm telling the truth!" Jiang Yashuang said with a smile, "When I was a child, I was very quiet, and my grandmother said that they were all like starlings!" ”

Qiu Yulan's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he said seriously: "Brother Starling is such a yuan and sister-in-law, Lang'er is our eldest son, we must count on them to support the court in the future, don't spoil them!" If it's really naughty, now it's a big point, I think, you can also get started with a few hits and give them a long memory......"

Are you kidding?! For a person like Jiang Yadan, being a husband is a tragedy, and being a son is also a tragedy! Qiu Yulan doesn't expect Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang to be very successful in the future, but she definitely can't accept the children who have been raised so hard to grow into two undisciplined gentlemen!!

Then now it's Jiang Yashuang's turn to say to her: "How can there be a child who is not naughty?" You're about to shout when you open your mouth! What about your motherly heart? It's all for my daughter? If Lang'er knew about this, how sad do you think he should be? Alas, you ......"

"What did you say?" Qiu Yulan looked at him with a smile.

"I said Lanlan, you are really a mother's heart!" Jiang Yashuang saw that the situation was not good, so she changed her words without saying a word, "The so-called love is deep and responsible, An'er and Lang'er are only so old, you ask for strict teaching, you really love them to the bones!" ”

After a while, Qiu Yulan asked if anything had happened inside and outside the past two days.

Jiang Yashuang said: "The subordinates come in and out every day, what can I hide from you?" Oh, I only remembered when you mentioned thatβ€”when I came back, I heard that the eighth sister-in-law had another sister-in-law. But when the people over there came to tell you, you hadn't woken up yet, so you didn't say anything for fear of disturbing you. ”

"Have you ever sent a congratulatory gift?" Hearing this, Qiu Yulan raised her eyebrows and asked.

Since Chu Yitong's miscarriage, there have always been stumbles between the concubines and unsatisfactory, and now that Chu Yitong has finally passed on the news of pregnancy again, Qiu Yulan doesn't want to let go of this opportunity to reconcile.

Jiang Yashuang said: "I have seen the gift list arranged by Zhou's mother, there is no problem, and it was sent over by Qu's mother to congratulate." ”

Qiu Yulan's most trusted mother is, of course, Zhou's mother, but Qu's mother was left by Mrs. Zhuang to help her daughter-in-law take care of her grandson, and her identity and qualifications are extraordinary. Sending her there is also the importance of Chu Yitong.

"That's good!" Qiu Yulan said, "But I hope that the eighth sister-in-law will give birth safely this time and forget all the unpleasant things in the past!" ”

Jiang Yashuang leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, and said softly: "I have wronged you these days, today's eighth sister-in-law is not as atmospheric as the first eighth sister-in-law!" ”

"I don't live in the same yard with her, which means it's a little embarrassing." Qiu Yulan smiled, "What kind of grievance is this?" ”

"One more thing." Jiang Yashuang saw that his wife really didn't take this matter to heart, so she said, "When the fourth aunt heard that we had a daughter, she said that she wanted to make her a princess - the fourth aunt said, not only did she mean this, but the queen also proposed so." ”

Qiu Yulan was slightly surprised, but then thought that not long after Jiang Qizheng was sent back to Beijing, when she was still in infancy, Empress Dowager Jiang found an excuse to give her the title of Princess Chunfu - Empress Dowager Jiang was eccentric Jiang Yashuang was even more fond of Jiang Qizheng, but Jiang Yashuang and Jiang Jinglang were male heirs, and Jia En was too much to cause turmoil such as Chengjue and industry, so she gave up.

Now that Jiang Yashuang finally has a biological daughter, she is still a concubine, and the Queen Mother will naturally not follow Jiang Qizheng's example back then-especially this time, there is an additional Queen Xin in the middle. Anyway, the princess is unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people, and for the royal family, it is just a will, plus a princess's mansion and an annual salary.

"The fourth aunt has always loved us, and the queen must have been kind!" After pondering, Qiu Yulan said, "However, there are so many girls in the Hui generation, and the royal family has never sealed it!" Only our daughter is sealed, will it be too much of the limelight? ”

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Yashuang was obviously used to being favored since she was a child, and said unconcernedly, "Wasn't it the same when the eighteenth sister was crowned a princess before?" There must be people in the family who are not convinced, but even if you don't have a princess, there are many brothers and sisters, and there are always people who can't say it. ”

Qiu Yulan reminded: "But now my father has sealed Zhenbei Bo, and Starling is the son!" Starling's daughters, although they are all concubines, they are not even a county lord, our first daughter is going to be a princess, I know that starlings don't care. But in the eyes of outsiders, they must think that the royal family values our family more in our fourth room, and it is not a good thing to spread it! ”

Although Jiang Tianchi has officially established a prince, even the prince can be abandoned, let alone the prince?

Jiang Tianchi's prestige is probably in the army, and his influence in the court is limited, maybe someone will want Jiang Tianchi to abolish the eldest son and establish the younger son because of the partiality of Empress Dowager Jiang and Empress Xin to Jiang Yashuang and his wife?

As soon as Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yulan never had the idea of the son of Zhenbei Boshi, they couldn't let those villains who knew how to welcome them all day long take advantage of it; Second, it is inferred from Jiang Tianchi's attitude towards the two sisters-in-law that he will never abolish his longevity! If someone instigates him to change Jiang Yashuang to the son, even if he knows that this has nothing to do with Jiang Yashuang and his wife, he will definitely not be happy in his heart!

The second daughter has not yet landed in the full moon, and Jiang Yashuang's excitement of getting her wish and loving her daughter has not subsided, and she is in a state of wanting to dedicate all the good things to her daughter. Therefore, he agrees with the canonization of Empress Dowager Jiang and Empress Xin.

Now that he was reminded by his wife like this, he frowned for a long time before he said lightly: "What you said is, I'll go back and tell the fourth aunt to refuse this matter!" ”

"Even if she doesn't have the title of princess, who dares not to treat her as a gold honor?" Qiu Yulan saw that her husband seemed to be swept away, so she picked up her daughter and showed it to him, and said with a smile, "The eldest princesses of the royal family, except for Yongfu, the other imperial daughters may not have her life in the future!" ”

Jiang Yashuang smiled and said, "Yes." He bowed his head and kissed his daughter, and laughed with his wife again.

The next day, Jiang Yashuang entered the palace to ask for peace, and told the Empress Dowager Jiang about refusing to be the princess on behalf of her daughter, and the Empress Dowager Jiang asked the reason, and she was a little regretful: "It's not that I don't value Xiaoba, but he is full of concubines under his knees - so many great-granddaughters of the Jiang family have not been sealed, but they have been sealed first, but this is too embarrassing for those concubines!" And you know that your mothers dislike their children the most. If Xiaoba also had a daughter-in-law, he would have been rewarded a long time ago, so could he wait until now? ”

Jiang Yashuang smiled and said: "The fourth aunt and the queen are all kind, and we know it." It's just that as the fourth aunt said, the starling brother has no concubines under his knees, and he sealed the nephew's concubines first, but he is easy to be misunderstood and provoked from them! The nephew thought, anyway, whether it is the fourth aunt or the queen, even if she doesn't seal the nephew's daughter-in-law, she will hurt her in the future, right? ”

"So be it!" Empress Dowager Jiang groaned, "Isn't there a little eighth daughter-in-law?" I don't know if this baby is male or female. If it's a daughter, it's just right to seal it up with your daughter! If it is a male heir...... Let's talk about it later, if Xiaoba really doesn't have a concubine, in the future, your concubine will seal her before she goes out of the pavilion, and no one will talk about it! ”

As an aunt, I want my niece and granddaughter to come out of the cabinet, so I will give a princess - when the good days are approaching, it is estimated that no one will stop me so blindly.

That's it.

Jiang Yashuang is now busy with official business, so if he refused, he explained to the queen mother, and asked the queen mother to tell the emperor, and then quit the palace to go on an errand.

After Empress Dowager Jiang waited for her nephew to leave, she sent someone to Beique Hall to tell the queen what had happened - the emperor was also there, as a puppet, the emperor didn't need to worry about state affairs at all, and of course contributed most of the time to the harem.

Although it is said that there is an extra Concubine Jiang in the palace in the past few months, firstly, the emperor has already had an emotional foundation for two or three years, and secondly, because of the prince Chu Shao, the emperor still stays in the Beique Hall most of the time and rarely goes to Concubine Jiang.

Hearing that Jiang Yashuang and his wife refused the reward on behalf of their daughter, Xin Fubing sighed: "It's a shame that I still dragged you to think of so many titles...... I don't want to use it! ”

The emperor said, "Why can't you use it?" Those are the ones you like. If we have a princess in the future, will we be able to use it? ”

"......" Xin Fubing didn't expect him to say this, the people in the palace didn't retreat, they all covered their sleeves to eat at the moment, they couldn't help but blush, and glanced at him with disgust, before they said to the palace people, "Since the decree of canonizing the princess is gone, then reward that child with something...... Come! ”

Xin Fubing, who was busy preparing gifts for Jiang Yashuang and the daughter of Qiu Yulan, didn't know that the emperor who was sitting not far away with a smile and coaxing Chu Shao with a leisurely face at this moment was far from being so light and light as it seemed on the surface-the ten fingers in his sleeves opened and shook, shook and opened: "Refused?" Are you really afraid of stealing the limelight from Zhenbei Boshizi, or do you see any clues? ! ”
