Chapter 405: Snatching the Child in the Face
When Rong Zhan carried the prince back to Zichen Palace, he had a fierce posture. Yuan Yue inadvertently glanced at it and saw the emperor walking in from the main gate of Zichen Palace, as if he was angry with someone, and he was a little confused.
The prince has been brought back, so who is the emperor angry with?
Yuan Yue got up and blessed her body: "The courtiers ask the emperor for peace." ”
The emperor glanced at Yuan Yue and said, "Oh, my brother and sister haven't gone back yet?" I see that the sixth brother's carriage has left the palace. ”
Yuan Xi propped himself up and said, "It's the concubine who asked the second sister to stay and talk to me." ”
When Rong Zhan saw Yuan Xi, he changed his face with a peaceful expression, took the child from Ling'er's hand, and sent it to Yuan Xi's bedside: "I just finished discussing things with the courtiers, and I brought Yu'er back to the queen by the way." ”
Yuan Yue stood aside, looking at Rong Zhan with some astonishment, and probably guessed a few points in her heart, the emperor's angry face just now was directed at the Queen Mother. I think it was just because I had a dispute with the Queen Mother just now in order to get Yu'er.
Seeing that Yuan Yue had been standing, Rong Zhan smiled and said, "Why are your younger brothers and sisters standing and sitting?"
Yuan Yue glanced at Yuan Xi, shook her head and said, "The courtiers have been disturbing the queen for a long time, and it's time to go back, and the courtiers have retired." ”
Rong Zhan nodded, and then instructed Ling'er: "Go and inform the Inner Mansion, Jiangbei will pay a few citrus tributes, and send two baskets to Prince Bao's Mansion." ”
Yuan Yue thanked the reward and walked back in three steps.
The face of the Son of Heaven is always cloudy, which is described in the history books of the past dynasties, and Yuan Yue doesn't know what the emperor's attitude is now, and after he leaves, will he sprinkle his anger on the queen.
But it's useless to worry, what should come will always come, and sooner or later.
Yuan Xi hugged the prince and kissed the baby's cheek: "The emperor came with anger, is it ...... with the queen mother?"
Rong Zhan hooked the corners of his lips slightly: "How do you know?"
"I don't know the emperor's temperament too well. The emperor only frowned slightly, and I knew what the emperor was thinking. Yuan Xi said, gently shaking the baby in his hand: "Isn't it?"
Rong Zhan saw that she was a statue of a loving mother, but she had never seen it before, and a warmth surged in her heart. Stretched out his hand to touch her shoulder: "Don't mind, the queen mother just likes children too much, she wants our emperor to be well, so she wants to take care of the child herself." I have already made it clear to her that I want to leave the emperor in Zichen Palace and be taken care of by the queen herself, and the queen has a gentle character and is the most suitable person to take care of the prince. I won't let the emperor leave you. ”
Yuan Xi looked at Rong Zhan and didn't speak for a long time.
Rong Zhan stared at her and said with a smile: "You seem to want to stop talking." ”
Yuan Xi shook his head and said with a smile: "I just think that I didn't choose the wrong husband in my life." ”
He didn't understand the other meaning of this sentence, but just sneered, leaned down and kissed her on the lips: "In this life, I didn't choose the wrong queen." ”
Rong Zhan leaned down and teased the child, and said softly: "Without further ado, we still have to change the emperor outside the palace as soon as possible, and the bloodline of the eldest son must not be confused." ”
Yuan Xi was a little disappointed, in fact, the two children, the palms and backs of her hands were full of meat, and she couldn't bear either one. If you want to blame it, you can only blame this unfair world and the ominous customs of this twin.
Looking down at the child in his arms, Yuan Xi was a little stunned, the fate of the two people, because of this ominous custom, has become diametrically opposed, and one wrong step is a world of difference.
The old lady took care of the child, it has been a day and a night, this little prince was born very crying, when he came back from the palace, he still fell asleep peacefully, who knew that when he woke up, he cried more than once, and he couldn't coax it. I fed him warm milk, but he refused to drink it, so he asked a nurse to give it to him, and he drank two sips and made a fuss again.
The old lady cried vigorously no matter how she hugged him, as if she knew that this was not his home.
After tossing all night, the bluffing old lady Aunt Yu was so worried that it was easy to lull him to sleep. The old lady had only taken one step, and the boy was grinning and crying.
The old lady had no choice but to hold it in her arms, and just like that, a hug was a day. His arms were sore, his legs were numb, and he didn't dare to put it down.
Aunt Yu came over and took the baby from the old lady's arms, and the kid screamed as if he had been slapped in the face.
Aunt Yu was startled, and hurriedly hugged her in her arms and coaxed.
"That's it, let me come. The old lady took the child from Aunt Yu's hand, and the child's crying stopped abruptly.
"After a night's rest, I finally got some feelings. The old lady shook her head helplessly: "This little prince was not worried when he was younger than the queen. ”
Aunt Yu smiled and said in a low voice: "There is someone in the palace, and Commander Qin has returned it with the child in his arms." ”
Aunt Yu took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, which was a tranquilizer made by Wang Nianen, lit a little with chopsticks, and rubbed it on the child's tongue. The child smashed his mouth and felt bitter, frowned and cried, and his voice gradually weakened after crying for a while. Finally, he quietly fell asleep in the old lady's arms.
Aunt Yu hurriedly asked someone to invite Qin Shun in, held a small basket in her hand, and took out a sleeping baby from it.
"The emperor named the prince Min, and then the prince took the surname of the Wei family. ”
The old lady took the child and answered. Looking down at the sleeping child, I only hope that this child is more well-behaved than the other, so that she can be more relieved.
Aunt Yu hugged Xiao Yu to Qin Shun, and whispered, "Commander Qin, be careful, don't wake up the little prince." The child loved to cry, and the cry was loud. If we wake up and the child starts crying, we won't be able to explain it. ”
Aunt Yu said, and stuffed Wang Nianen's tranquilizer into Qin Shun's hand: "This tranquilizer is extremely effective, if the child cries, you can put a drop in his mouth, don't eat too much." If he cries, put your finger in his mouth, and it will work. ”
Qin Shun glanced down and saw that the little prince was asleep. The two children look exactly the same, let alone him, I'm afraid even the queen may not be able to tell who is who.
Qin Shun put the prince into a small basket, and took some silk supplements and other things prepared by Aunt Yu and put them on the car. This time, he went to the Wei Mansion to get supplements for the queen, but he couldn't go home empty-handed.
When he entered the palace, the guards were all Qin Shun's people, so they didn't check too carefully. Qin Shun carried the basket, avoided the palace maids, and trotted all the way back to Zichen Palace.
Rong Zhan had been waiting in Zichen Palace for a long time, and when he saw Qin Shun coming back, he hurriedly asked someone to pick up the child. The child is still asleep in the basket and appears to be very peaceful. Rong Zhan took him out, he was still unconscious, for a long time, he snapped a few times and opened his eyes.
Rong Zhan was overjoyed and said, "Wake up." ”
But his joy didn't last more than a second before it came to naught. Xiao Yu saw that he had come to a strange place and was being held by a stranger, so he was inevitably afraid, and when he was in a hurry, he grinned and cried.
This cry startled Rong Zhan, as if he had done something wrong.
Qin Shun said with a smile: "Your Majesty, when you came, Aunt Yu instructed the last general to be careful about hugging the prince, saying that the little prince cried, and when he hugged him back last night, he kept crying." ”
Rong Zhan smiled bitterly and hugged Xiao Yu, his two little legs struggling hard in swaddling clothes, like a stubborn little beast.
"Let me hug it. Won-hee stretched out his hand.
"This kid is quite energetic, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it. Although Rong Zhan said this, he still put the child in Yuan Xi's arms.
Somehow, as soon as this kid lay in Yuan Xi's arms, he became docile, staring at Yuan Xi with a pair of small eyes.
"Yo, he's really going to find someone? I don't let me hug it, I only let the queen hug it. Rong Zhan flattened his mouth: "When you grow up and want to go to the study, see how I teach you." ”
Qin Shun smiled and quietly retreated.
Who knew that he had just stepped out of the dormitory of Zichen Palace with his front feet, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the Queen Mother breaking into Zichen Palace violently. Qin Shun chuckled in his heart, fortunately he came back in time, if it was a little bit more than that night, their change of children would be revealed.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here. Qin Shun said, and hurriedly went out of the palace to greet him.
The Queen Mother's face was very bad, and she glanced at Qin Shun and said, "Is the emperor inside?"
Before Qin Shun could answer, Rong Zhan stepped out of the dormitory, leaned over and said, "Say hello to the queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother pointed at Rong Zhan and said, "What about Yu'er?"
Rong Zhan lowered his eyelids slightly: "In the dormitory, the queen mother misses Yu'er so soon?"
The Queen Mother snorted and said, "The mourning family is here to carry Yu'er back to the North Palace." ”
Rong Zhan frowned, and stepped forward to stop the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I have just made it very clear that I want to leave Yu'er in Zichen Palace to be raised." Why does the queen mother have to work hard to force each other? Could it be that Yu'er is in Zichen Palace, and the queen mother is still not at ease?"
The Queen Mother shook off Rong Zhan's hand and said: "The mourning family is not at ease, the emperor and the queen are all young people, where do they know how to take care of the prince? Yu'er is the emperor's ordained prince, if there is a slight difference, who can afford this responsibility?"
The Queen Mother said, bypassed Rong Zhan and entered the palace.
The Queen Mother lifted the curtain and saw Yuan Xi leaning on a soft pillow, holding the child in her arms.
Yuan Xi glanced at the Queen Mother, and felt a little uncomfortable. If the Queen Mother had just calmed down, she could still back down, and now in order to snatch the child, she has been forced to her bed, if she is allowed to snatch Yu'er away, what qualifications does she have to be a mother?
Yuan Xi bowed slightly: "Why is the Queen Mother here?"
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and said: "I'm afraid the emperor didn't make it clear to the queen, the queen is still young and not good at raising children, it just so happens that the mourning family is free, and Yu'er should be taken care of by the mourning family." The queen has already given birth to a prince, and there are still many things to be busy with after the ceremony. I don't have time to take care of Yu'er. Yu'er is the eldest son of the emperor, and there can be no negligence in the prince's education. The queen doesn't have to work hard, it is most appropriate for the mourning family to take care of Yu'er, besides, Yu'er is used to living in the North Palace, and she is also very familiar with the mourning family, if someone else takes care of Yu'er, I'm afraid Yu'er will not be used to it. What do you say, Queen?"
