Chapter 49
Washing Three
"The little prince looks so cute, with a full and round forehead, just like the emperor when he was a child."
The old dowager lovingly hugged the baby, her eyebrows were curved, and the wrinkles on her face were smoothed out a lot.
The old man always has a natural love for babies. He looks left and right, and the more he looks, the more he praises them, and he can't help but say a few more words.
The queen always smiled and treated her with respect.
There is no special joy and enthusiasm, and there is no fault at all, which makes those who just stare and want to see the joke feel a little disappointed.
No one who survives in this harem is a soft persimmon.
Some people started to find fault.
"I heard that it was midnight when the little prince was born, and colorful auspicious clouds suddenly lit up in the night sky. It took half a quarter of an hour to gradually fade away. This is a good omen."
The person who spoke was Ying Guiren. This person was not outstanding in appearance, but her singing voice was melodious and charming. No matter what song came out of her mouth, it had a unique charm.
In the palace, he can be regarded as relying on his ability.
The queen glanced at her and didn't want to pay attention.
Unexpectedly, a second person also started mentioning it.
"It is indeed a good sign. Maybe it is God's intention. It seems that the little prince is really blessed and will become a great person in the future."
The person who spoke this time was not a capable person, but a fair-skinned beauty with a weak brain.
The queen endured her impatience.
"After all, this is just a rumor. It is unknown who has seen it with his own eyes. There is no need to mention these strange things that disturb the gods."
What is a good or bad omen?
If you don't have your two most noble legitimate sons, why should you have other children?
It's time to pay attention to the rumors in the palace.
On the first day, someone spread the word, and on the second day, even more people spread the word. By today, on the third day, everyone knew about it.
Don't worry about anyone, good or bad, everyone wants to watch the fun.
"Queen, you can't say that. What do you mean by strange power and chaos? What if this is God's will?"
A queen without a prince, what can she do if she has power in her hands?
The next emperor will never be her child, so what if she supports one personally? After all, it is different.
What else do you have to worry about?
As long as the queen still wants to be the queen, and as long as the Wang family is still an aristocratic family of the imperial court, no one will dare to do anything to them.
The emperor still has the final say in this palace.
The young concubines were accustomed to living a life of being pampered, and they were just trying to save face for the old queen.
Many people are dissatisfied with her behind her back.
Not to mention that even Xu Concubine's son can now become the prince, which shows that the emperor doesn't like her very much.
"That's what happens in the future? At least now I still have the final say in this palace."
The queen finally changed her expression and dropped the teacup heavily.
The old lady holding the child looked up, sighed softly, and handed the child to the wet nurse with some reluctance.
He sat there and said a few words, then stood up to say goodbye. The queen got up and said goodbye with a smile.
When she came back, the queen lost interest, said a few words in a hurry and left.
The baptismal ceremony started with a grand beginning, but ended with some regrets.
——
After the three baptisms, Concubine Qing returned to Huayang Palace for confinement.
Due to heavy bleeding during childbirth, the imperial physician prescribed ginseng decoction and an excessive amount of hemostasis powder.
Although my life was saved, it would be difficult to get pregnant again.
In other words, she only has one son like the tenth prince in her life.
After hearing the news, Xu Bin held the baby in her arms, pressed her forehead against her forehead, and couldn't stop crying.
"You must become the prince"
"You are born with good luck. You are my only one. You are the only hope of our Xu family. Son, you must successfully become the prince and the emperor."
"Mom, I will depend on you for the rest of my life."
Lizi smiled and stepped forward: "Master, don't be like this, be careful to cover the child."
"It's a hot day, so the two-layer gauze swaddling clothes are still a bit thick. Please take the little prince down and cool him down."
"No!"
Xu Bin's eyes were red.
"I want to guard my son, please leave me alone and go out."
Li Zi was startled: "Master, what's wrong with you? Didn't you behave well before?"
Looking back carefully, I found that the master only started when he knew that he could not have children.
She smiled and persuaded: "Don't worry, Madam, you are already a concubine, and you have a prince. The emperor has already said that this is the little prince."
"He will be the luckiest and most noble person in the world."
Lizi's determination gave Qingbin courage.
Her eyes gradually became clearer, and she gradually let go of the child.
The little tenth prince was so suppressed that his face turned red, and then he started crying. It turned out that the concubine Qing had just held him in her arms, and she happened to cover the baby's mouth and nose.
A cold sweat broke out on Lizi's back, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he hurriedly carried the little prince to the wet nurse for breastfeeding.
——
At the same time, Jiaofang Palace.
The queen had been feeling uncomfortable since the day of her third baptism, and she was afraid of being laughed at and refused to say anything.
After the tenth day of the seventh month, it became particularly severe. I felt dizzy, my hands and feet felt weak, and I felt confused, unable to eat or sleep well.
But Fangrui simply didn't ask for a doctor.
Everyone knows that this is a heart disease.
As long as the position of the prince is not resolved, the empress will not be comfortable.
"It really doesn't work. Let me see if I can find an opportunity. Please don't torture yourself anymore."
Fangrui couldn't stand it anymore and had no choice but to persuade him.
"No, no one is allowed to do anything," the queen gritted her teeth.
At this time, someone came to report that the second prince wanted to see him.
"Ke'er, what is he doing here?"
Thinking that he was busy with the wedding, the queen relaxed and asked people to come in.
Xie Chenke entered steadily, with a calm face and a smile, telling the queen that the wedding was almost ready, and everything was complete.
The queen suddenly relaxed.
"That's good"
"I have inquired and inquired about Duke Xin's granddaughter, and she is indeed a well-behaved lady. You must cherish the concubine you hired in this way, and don't let her down."
"No way"
Xie Chenke vowed to do so.
Then there was silence, endless silence.
The matter in Huayang Palace has become a major concern for everyone. They want to deliberately avoid it, but they still can't.
"Mother...what are you going to do?"
"Stay still for now, Ke'er, you must not intervene." The queen narrowed her eyes.
"Since I intend to support you, I will clear all obstacles for you, not to mention you can't get involved in the affairs of the palace."
Xie Chenke bowed respectfully and bowed again, and finally leaned into the queen's ear.
"There is actually no need to worry, Queen Mother."
"Even if you don't take action, my son has ten thousand ways to make that evil obstacle disappear. You really shouldn't torture yourself for this matter."
I felt a little inexplicably moved.
The queen looked at Xie Chenke's sincere eyes.
For a moment, she suddenly felt that her Yun'er was back.
That was her eldest son. He showed extremely high talent at a young age. He was talented and intelligent in learning, and all the masters praised him.
Unfortunately, God was jealous of Yingcai, and he died at an early age.
Now these similar eyes, the wise and sincere eyes, are always 80% of Yun'er's shadow.
"good"
“I don’t have to take any action.”
Xie Chenke nodded: "Father's harem is getting bigger and bigger, and trouble will inevitably arise if there are too many people. Mother, you only need to take care of the harem. At the critical moment, your son will come to you for help."
