Chapter 490: Annunciation
Li Shen's words made Wu Meiniang very happy and moved. The world does not pay attention to the children of the concubines.
This is because of the so-called etiquette that has always been caused, in fact, if you think about it,
Whether it is a concubine or a concubine, for the wife, because she is not biological, it is understandable that there are some prejudices.
But for men, what difference does it make which one is not their own flesh and blood?
"By the way, what about the two little ones." Li Shen suddenly remembered that he still had a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, so he asked.
"The nurse took it out to feed, the newborn baby, she had to feed several times a night, and the concubine was afraid of disturbing Dao Meiniang's rest, so she arranged it in the next room."
Lu Dingniang answered.
The children of large families basically look for nurses, but the nurses in the palace are not ordinary nurses.
It is required to be outstanding in appearance, but also to love cleanliness, but also to be knowledgeable and reasonable, literate and hyphenation.
Li Shen is looking for it according to the scholarly door,
It's just that I didn't find it for a long time, and then I could only look for it in my own food.
There are only three in total, and they have already lived in the palace in advance, and arranged for maids to serve, bathe, eat, drink, and live every day, all according to high standards.
Even if you are not the daughter of the scholarly family, Li Shen will also package it for you.
When Li Shen heard that he had gone to feed, he thought of another question.
"Did the palace only find three nurses, and now it is two children, I'm afraid it won't be enough to eat."
Li Shen asked worriedly.
"Lord, the concubine didn't have a nurse when she was a child, and she wasn't hungry." Lu Dingniang rolled her eyes,
It's normal for a nurse to feed a child, where is it like the palace to feed three nurses,
You must know that the nurse's food is different from them, not to mention that it is not much worse than a meal of big fish and meat.
There are a few families in the average family that can raise three nurses.
This is not to say that one or two days a day, this is to be raised for a year, and it is necessary to pay wages, high wages.
"Lord, when the concubine was a child, there was only one nurse," Wu Meiniang also echoed.
"Really?" Li Shen looked at them with puzzled eyes.
"This king should not be, this king is so talented, and so rich. This king should have had more than one nurse when he was a child. Li Shen affirmed.
"Lord Qiyu, His Royal Highness was also a nurse when he was a child, and he was brought into the palace by the concubine Niangniang from the Wei family, and was later sent out of the palace by the concubine Niangniang."
Just when Li Shen was boasting about herself, Lan Yu'er, who had taken care of her since she was a child, suddenly gave Li Shen a knife.
Li Shen turned his head and looked at Lan Yu'er incredulously, his face changed many times,
It is also a very embarrassing thing for anyone to be debunked while bragging.
"Yu'er, this king treats you well. Tonight the king will go to your courtyard to sleep. Li Shen said angrily.
provoked Lu Dingniang and Wu Meiniang to laugh.
Although it was getting late, Li Shen still decided to go and see his pair of children, and he didn't look too closely just now.
So Li Shen and Lu Dingniang went to the house next to them.
After the two little ones had eaten their fill, they were lying down and sleeping.
And the three nurses are also ready to rest, one of them is on duty.
In ancient times, the nurse was a very humble profession, and it was because the family was poor that she came out to be a nurse to make money to subsidize the family.
And most nurses can't breastfeed their children.
In ancient times, the mother's milk was divided into three levels, the first class entered the palace, the second class came to the homes of officials and nobles, and the third class was rich merchants.
Although the nurse is humble, the selection is very strict,
For example, in Li Shen's palace, the selection of nurses must be healthy, with fair skin, good appearance, and the first child, and they must be able to read and write.
There must not be a single scar or skin disease on the body.
The family background is innocent, including relatives cannot have a criminal record.
This is qualified to enter the palace as a nurse, and the salary given by Ji Wangfu is indeed the most, ten yuan per month.
Food, drink and housing are all from the palace, and Li Shen also sent a few sheep to the families of the three nurses.
This is because Li Shen feels a little indebted to their children, and can't let their children drink rice soup.
Goat's milk is highly nutritious and will not be malnourished.
"See the Prince"
"Well, you guys worked hard." Li Shen nodded,
When I came to the bed and looked at my children, I had an inexplicable feeling in my heart.
The little ones slept soundly, and one of them put his hand in his mouth.
Li Shen looked at it for a while, wanting to reach out and touch it, but he took his hand back again, he was afraid of waking them up.
After a while, Li Shen walked out of the room, stood in the courtyard and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, he seemed to have seen through a thousand years,
He finally has his own descendants in this world, and he will also leave a strong mark in the picture scroll of history.
The next day, as soon as the city gate of Luoyang opened, a fast horse grabbed the door and went straight to Ziwei Palace.
When he came to the palace gate, he held up Li Shen's seal and shouted to the guards at the city gate:
"King Ji seals the letter, I have something important to report to Your Majesty."
Li Shimin got up in the morning and was having dinner, and today he was going to hunt outside the city.
"Report ~~~ Your Majesty, there is a person outside the palace gate, claiming to be the personal guard of His Royal Highness King Ji, holding King Ji's seal and saying that there is something important to report."
A guard ran in to report.
Wei Guifei's heart sank when she heard it, could it be that something happened to her son? Otherwise, how could he not even write a letter.
And Li Shimin is also a little worried, could it be that something happened in Chang'an?
"Pass him in."
The palace guards unarmed their weapons at the door and walked in.
"See Your Majesty, villain."
"What does King Ji have to report?" Li Shimin asked urgently.
"Your Majesty, the prince asked the villain to report to Your Majesty, yesterday evening, Mrs. Wu gave birth to a little lady and a little Langjun,
The prince said that he would report this happy event to His Majesty and the queen mother as soon as possible, as well as the concubine Niangniang. ”
After the guards finished speaking, Li Shimin was stunned,
"This rebel. Hahahaha. Li Shimin laughed out loud after reacting.
He forgot the news that Wu Meiniang was going to give birth.
This is indeed a great joy that my vein has been born again.
is still a descendant of his favorite son Li Shen.
"Well, I know, you go back and tell King Ji that I'm very happy, come and reward."
Li Shimin said to the guards, and there is a reward, this is the rule, and those who come to report the good news will generally have a reward.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The guards retreated, and the four concubines at the table began to be lively.
first congratulated Li Shimin, after all, it was Li Shimin who had a grandson.
Then it was time to congratulate the queen and Wei Guifei.
These people are already very envious of Wei Guifei.
Except for the grandson, which prince's child will make Li Shimin so happy, and he is not a son-in-law, just a concubine.
"Erlang, let's go back to Chang'an in a few days, and let Shen'er bring his grandson to the palace to show us when the time comes."
Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Shimin with a smile.
