Chapter 9 Bathing the Baby (1)
Concubine Qi lifted Yun'er's little clothes and found that there were really small red dots on his body, which reflected the new tender and fair skin that was particularly conspicuous, and she was a little annoyed at the moment: "Who changed the clothes for His Highness in the morning?" Why didn't you tell Hongu earlier?! ”
Anxin and An Ran knelt on the ground in fear: "Yu Niangniang, when I changed His Highness's clothes in the morning, there was nothing abnormal about His Highness, and the slave really didn't know when it became like this!" ”
Concubine Qi was furious: "Let you serve His Highness closely, but I don't even know when he had a rash, and you dare to use strong words?!" ”
As he spoke, he was going to have someone drag them down.
Anxin Anran lost his face, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "The slave knows that she is wrong, please let the mother calm her anger!" ”
Aunt Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to reassure: "Niangniang, let's send the imperial doctor to take a look first, it's not too late to send them back, don't delay His Highness's illness!" ”
"Yes, quick! Tell the Imperial Doctor! ”
Concubine Qi came back to her senses and glared fiercely at the two kneeling people: "The imperial doctor has seen that there is nothing to do, otherwise the palace will not be spared!" ”
Su Xiaojiu looked at the angry Concubine Qi and said, "Don't worry, your Royal Highness's eczema is not serious, you don't need to call the imperial doctor, as long as you appropriately reduce your clothes and keep them cool and dry." ”
"Is that true?"
Because she relieved Yun'er's pain twice, these words had some credibility in Concubine Qi's heart.
Besides, the old guys in the Tai Hospital, who are always afraid, will be consulted three or five times for a little symptom, and the symptoms that can be cured in three days will drag on for seven or eight days, which is slippery and mediocre, but if they seek no fault, they have long annoyed Concubine Qi.
"Well, this palace will believe you again, as long as you can get rid of this eczema for Yun'er, you will be rewarded!"
Su Xiaojiu was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was more humble.
"Niangniang, the fourth prince is covered in sweat, and he has to bathe him first, then change into dry clothes, and allow the slave to prepare some hot water."
"Never!"
This time it was Aunt Zhang who spoke out, she glared at Su Xiaojiu, and her tone was full of disapproval: "Your Royal Highness has only been born for a few days, and she is very delicate, can you afford it if you catch a cold?" ”
Concubine Qi hesitated, she was in confinement, and she couldn't take a bath, so she naturally knew how uncomfortable it was to feel sticky on this hot day, and she was a little moved by Su Xiaojiu's words when she saw her son's clothes wet and sticking to her body.
Su Xiaojiu was neither humble nor arrogant, and looked directly at Aunt Zhang and said, "Then Aunt has a better way?" If so, the slave is willing to ask for advice. ”
"You!" Aunt Zhang's words were stopped, if she had a way, what would she do with Su Xiaojiu?
Concubine Qi glanced at Aunt Zhang, and couldn't help frowning: "Okay aunt, let's do as she said, this kind of weather, this palace is an adult, just endure it, Yun'er is still so young, how can it be good if it's really hot?" ”
"Niangniang, Your Highness is not yet a month old, such a young child, of course you have to cover it warmer, this girl came here with her mouth, what if it is to invite merit and cause His Highness to catch the cold?"
"Auntie, I'm worried about this, this hall is impermeable, as long as you dry it as soon as you take a bath and put on a small coat for Your Highness, you won't catch a cold so easily."
After speaking, Su Xiaojiu looked at Concubine Qi: "Actually, Niangniang can also take a bath, just wipe it off quickly and put on dirty clothes." ”
"Really? Hongu is also available? ”
On the night of giving birth, Concubine Qi can be described as a river of sweat, and now that so many days have passed, even if the close-fitting clothes are changed every day, it is not as comfortable as taking a bath from head to toe, but she is afraid of tradition, and she is afraid that taking a bath in the confinement will sit down and get sick, so she gritted her teeth and endured it.
Now that she heard that she could take a bath, Concubine Qi was naturally eager to try, and her eyes were a little eager to look at Su Xiaojiu.
Aunt Zhang was anxious when she heard this: "Niangniang can't follow this girl!" The woman is weak after giving birth, and it is easy for the evil wind to enter the body when taking a bath at this time, and it is a lifelong thing to sit down and get sick! Now it's only half the time, so let's endure it a little harder! ”
Concubine Qi didn't know how to refute, so she could only look at Su Xiaojiu again, hoping that she could say something convincing to Aunt Zhang.
Su Xiaojiu really lived up to expectations, and said again without hurry: "Niangniang has given birth for more than ten days, and the weakest time has passed, and Niangniang's body has always been strong, and her recovery is better than that of ordinary women, as long as she does not take a bath to avoid infection in the place where the tear is caused." ”
Aunt Zhang wanted to persuade again, but she had nothing to say, so she had to let Su Xiaojiu serve Concubine Qi to bathe, and she went out angrily.
Concubine Qi finally took a bath comfortably, although it was not as enjoyable as the bath, but she was also refreshed, the more she felt that Su Xiaojiu, the little girl was good, so she said with confidence: "You can also take a bath for Yun'er, be careful not to let him catch a cold." ”
Su Xiaojiu took advantage of Concubine Qi's happiness and asked tentatively: "Niangniang, Your Highness is still young, and it is not convenient for the slave and maid to be alone, can you find someone to help?" ”
Anxin and An Ran, who were kneeling on the ground, hurriedly pleaded: "Niangniang, let the slaves and maids come!" "I can make up for it.
Who knew that Concubine Qi's apricot eyes widened: "Useless things, kneel well for this palace!" ”
Su Xiaojiu called for the end of spring, and Concubine Qi was very relieved to them, and after a few words, she lay down again.
Just took a bath, her body was comfortable and clean, and Concubine Qi's tense emotions were relaxed, and she soon fell asleep.
At the end of spring, he was mixing warm water on the side, seeing that Aunt Zhang was not there, and secretly said to Su Xiaojiu: "Just now, you were suddenly called away, I thought that the fight between you and Lianxiang was known by Niangniang!" After a while, they called me again, and my heart was pounding. ”
Su Xiaojiu teased the little dough in her arms, it was only a few days since she gave Yun'er an exhaust exercise for the first time, this little guy seemed to be a lot heavier, his facial features gradually grew, and there was already the shadow of Concubine Qi between his eyebrows and eyes.
"I'm here to call you, naturally there are only good things." She touched the soft and tender little white hand of the fourth prince, "Are you right, little baby?" ”
Yun'er has a pair of big black and bright eyes, he inherited Concubine Qi's apricot eyes, but the tails of his eyes are slightly raised.
Because it is too small, the eyes are not very focused, and the eyes are a little hazy, which shows the unique innocence and ignorance of newborns, and looks cute and cute.
There is no hair on the round little head, and the thin and soft little fetal hair is slightly yellow, and it feels fluffy to the touch, Su Xiaojiu pondered, I don't know if the custom here can cut the hair of newborns, otherwise it would be good to use fetal hair to make a fetal brush for Yun'er.
Putting his round little body in the water, Su Xiaojiu carefully supported the back of his neck and buttocks, and let Yun'er scrub it in late spring.
Unlike other babies who are afraid of kicking in the water, Yun'er's little hands are in contact with the warm water, and they are quite novel to scratch around, and their calves are also comfortably stretched in the water, looking like they are enjoying themselves.
At the end of spring, he was at a loss to hold the cotton cloth, looking at Yun'er's small ball, and didn't know how to start: "I, I don't dare, Your Highness is still so young, and his skin is so tender, what if he is scratched?" I've never touched a doll this small. ”
