Chapter 104: Blessings and Misfortunes
The little milk baby who had just turned one month was sleeping in Jiang Yi's arms, and a saliva blister was spit out from time to time, and then exploded, looking really cute.
Jiang Yi held the child carefully, even if her arms were stiff, she refused to fake her. This picture, in the eyes of everyone, will feel that Jiang Yi is a good mother and is taking her children seriously.
Shen Che was also a little happy, and almost did not refuse the courtiers' toasts, cup after cup, and soon drank a lot. Fortunately, Shen Che drank a good amount of alcohol, even if he drank a lot, he didn't get drunk.
The monarch and the ministers were happy, and just when everyone was drinking happily, Shen Che ordered the father-in-law of Yu to read out the holy decree, which pushed the atmosphere of the entire palace banquet to a **.
The holy decree said two things, the first was to give the name Shen Yan to the child who had just completed the moon, enter the genealogy of the Shen royal family, and report it to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ning Palace. The second is to reward Mrs. Han's maiden family, and those who should be promoted to knighthood have also been promoted, in order to thank Mrs. Han for her contribution to the Shen royal family.
The Han family was very happy with Shen Che's will, although they lost a daughter, but they could bring glory to the entire family, and this transaction was not a loss.
At this moment, congratulations to Shen Che and congratulations to the Han family at the same time, the atmosphere between the cups and cups is harmonious, and the monarch and the ministers are harmonious.
Compared to the court factions in Ning Palace, where there are many factions and disputes, it is rare for the courtiers of this Yi Palace to work together. Even though these people were all deliberately arranged by the Empress Dowager Qin to become officials in Yiguo, after so many years of operation, Shen Che has turned them into his own.
Through this incident, it can be seen that Shen Che is a bold and capable king, at least the courtiers of Yiguo did not disbelieve him.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone's faces were also slightly drunk, and their voices were lowered, the Queen Mother turned her head to look at Lu Yingquan and praised:
"Lu Meiren has outstanding ability, the preparation of this palace banquet is very good, the dishes are good, and it looks festive. ”
Empress Dowager Xie praised her, and the concubines were terrified. Lu Yingquan bowed in response, and there was a little joy in his heart, after all, it was not easy to hear a trace of praise from the mouth of the Empress Dowager Jiang.
"Your Royal Highness, Sister Yingquan has worked hard to prepare for the palace banquet, and Your Highness has to express it. Jiang Yi on the side also heard the Queen Mother's words, so she couldn't help but speak.
Shen Che was very satisfied with Jiang Yi's understanding, so he nodded: "This king also has this idea, and while he is happy tonight, he simply overjoys and canonizes Lu Yingquan as his wife." What does the Queen Mother think?"
After listening to Shen Che's words, the Queen Mother rarely objected, but just said, "You are the one who decides." ”
Shen Che saw that the Queen Mother did not object, so he immediately issued an order to canonize Yingquan as his wife, and since then he has been on an equal footing with Jiang Yi. This also means that Lu Yingquan is a greater threat to Jiang Yi, and the battle for the back position of the two will be more intense.
"Ministers, see Mrs. Lu—" When the ministers heard the will, they got up and saluted Lu Yingquan.
And at the next moment when the entire court hall was quiet, a loud cry resounded throughout the hall, which made the courtiers stunned and the queen mother very surprised.
"What's wrong with this kid, why is he crying so loudly?" the Queen Mother frowned and asked.
Jiang Yi retracted her hand quietly, and couldn't help but worry: "The concubine doesn't know what's wrong, usually this child is very well-behaved, and he doesn't cry when he wakes up." However, today is probably the first time I have seen so many people, some are afraid of life, and it may be that he is hungry, so the concubine asked the nurse to take him down to feed some milk, and then coax him and stop crying. ”
"It's okay, today is his full moon feast, and we can't make him unhappy. Carry him down, and come back when you're ready. The Queen Mother nodded, said, and then turned her head to look at Lu Yingquan, "Mrs. Lu should also go over and take a look, you still have to learn this matter of bringing children, and if you have your own children in the future, you can also have a good upbringing." ”
"The concubine obeys. Lu Yingquan listened to the Queen Mother's words, got up and took Yun Yao with him, and followed Jiang Yi away.
In fact, she didn't want to follow, because out of everyone's sight, no one could say what would happen. What's more, there is a child, so she is afraid of being alone with Jiang Yi.
But the reason given by the Queen Mother made her unable to refuse, and asked her to follow to learn how to take care of children, saying that it would be more convenient to have her own children in the future. Can she still refuse the Queen Mother and say that she doesn't want children in the future?
Walking on the road, Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao glanced at each other, and both of them showed the same worry in their eyes.
When she arrived at the side hall, Jiang Yi hugged Shen Yan and coaxed her, and then asked the nurse to prepare milk.
If it is a nurse from an ordinary large family, the child can naturally eat the milk of the nurse directly, and there is not so much care. But a nurse is likely to milk a lot of children, which cannot be so casual in the royal family. Therefore, it is usually the nurse who squeezes out the milk and then slowly feeds it to the child with a small spoon.
Just when the nurse went to prepare, Jiang Yi said to Lu Yingquan: "Sister, come here, you haven't hugged the child yet, right? ”
While speaking, Jiang Yi stuffed Shen Yan into Lu Yingquan's arms, and then taught Lu Yingquan how to hold the child hand in hand. This appearance doesn't look like he has any scheming at all, as if he is really teaching Lu Yingquan.
What's even more amazing is that the child stopped crying as soon as he arrived in Lu Yingquan's arms, and his face, which was still crying, was instantly filled with laughter, and then he giggled.
"Sister Yingquan, it seems that this child is really destined for you, as soon as you hug him, he won't cry. Jiang Yi said, then pulled Lu Yingquan to the side and sat down, and began to check whether the child's diaper was wet.
With that skillful movement, it seems that she is used to doing this kind of thing often, and she is not uncomfortable at all. This also let Yun Yao know that it was rumored in the palace that Mrs. Jiang treated Shen Yan as her own and took care of her meticulously, which was indeed true.
However, just as Jiang Yi opened the diaper, Yun Yao saw that there was a black mark on Shen Yan's buttocks, as if he had been pinched with his fingers. And the dark blue color is still very bright, and you can tell at a glance that it has just been caused.
Yun Yao couldn't help but think of the loud cry in the hall before, and there was more doubt in her heart. Generally speaking, if a child is hungry or pees his pants, he will wake up first and slowly start crying when he feels uncomfortable, but just now, the child is crying loudly directly from his sleep.
It's as if you were suddenly attacked in your sleep, a conditioned reflex.
Thinking of this, Yun Yao couldn't help but look at Jiang Yi, but when she saw that she was also looking at herself, a strange look flashed in her eyes.
Yun Yao pulled Lu Yingquan's sleeve, wanting to remind her to find an excuse to leave quickly, seeing Jiang Yi like this, I am afraid that there is some conspiracy brewing. It's a pity that before Lu Yingquan could comprehend Yun Yao's meaning, the nurse came out of it with a bowl.
"Two ladies, the milk is ready to nurse the little prince. The nurse said to Jiang Yi and Lu Yingquan.
"The Queen Mother instructed Mrs. Lu to learn to take care of the child, nurse, you can teach Mrs. Lu how to breastfeed the child, let her learn a little, so that when the Queen Mother asks about her, she doesn't know anything. Jiang Yi instructed the nurse.
Jiang Yi said these words in the name of the Queen Mother, which made it impossible to refuse at all, because on the surface, Jiang Yi was for Lu Yingquan's good, and she was afraid that Lu Yingquan would be punished by the Queen Mother, so she said so. If Lu Yingquan refuses, or finds an excuse to leave, it will be disrespectful to the Queen Mother.
Lu Yingquan had to bite the bullet and learn how to feed the child from the nurse, and the nurse only fed a few mouthfuls, then handed the bowl and spoon to Lu Yingquan and asked her to feed the child.
According to the nurse's demonstration, Lu Yingquan began to breastfeed the child. The child is very obedient and well-behaved, and when the spoon is fed to his mouth, he begins to open his mouth and stretch out his tongue to lick it, which is very cute.
The bowl of milk slowly decreased, and Shen Yan drank a few sips before he began to cry again, and his originally pink little face instantly turned iron-blue, followed by a few convulsions, poor breathing, and then silence.
All this happened too fast, Lu Yingquan's hand was still deadlocked, and there was still milk in the spoon in her hand that had not been fed, she looked at Shen Yan with a smile, turned her head to look at Jiang Yi in surprise, and asked:
"Kid, this is ...... What's wrong?"
"Mrs. Jiang, the little prince is out of breath!" the nurse stretched out her hand, probed Shen Yan's snort, and said in a panic.
"Lu Yingquan, you are so bold, you dare to murder the prince?" As soon as Jiang Yi heard the nurse's words, she immediately slapped the table, got up angrily, and spoke again, "Come on, go and invite the imperial doctor over!"
"Mrs. Jiang, I didn't! You don't want to spew blood!" Lu Yingquan was still immersed in shock, her heart ached and angry.
The heartache is that the child who was smiling just now has no breath at all, and what is angry is that Jiang Yi actually attacked such a young child in order to frame her!
Shen Yan was only a month old, he didn't understand anything, he didn't have time to enjoy the beauty of life, and he didn't have time to take a look at this prosperous world, so he died early and became a victim of these vicious people.
"Whether it's blood or not, you know it in your own heart. Jiang Yi said coldly, "I raised this child for a month, as if it were my own, everything must be done, and the nurse is also doing her best, and she has been doing well for a month, but when you come over today, something happened to him, do you still want to quibble?"
"Jiang Yi, you deliberately waited for me to do it, trying to splash this dirty water on my head! He's still so young, how can you do it?" Lu Yingquan's heart was cold to the bone, "Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"I should ask you this, right? He's still so young, how can you do it?" Jiang Yi asked rhetorically, "Lu Yingquan, even if you hate me and hate me, you shouldn't beat this kid's idea!"
"You are strong!" Lu Yingquan was furious, "Jiang Yi, who did it, you know it in your heart, and Your Highness will find out!"
"I also hope that Your Highness can find out and let you, the murderer, have nothing to hide!" Jiang Yi said, his eyes seemed to be full of resentful light, as if he was going to burn Lu Yingquan a few holes.
