Chapter 325 Baby (Part 1)

Capital, Jinyu Hutong, Thirteenth Prince's Mansion.

Today is the 100-day ceremony of Hongjun, the second son of the Thirteenth Prince. Although the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion did not handle it in a large manner, there were also many congratulatory guests. Most of them were female relatives, but not many male guests. After all, some people were scruples, not everyone could come to visit unscrupulously, but just a few families who were walking around.

Front yard, flower hall.

Among the seven older princes who stayed in the capital, there are four of them here today, in addition to the master Thirteenth Prince, there are also the fourth prince, the seventh prince and the seventeenth prince.

The Fourth Prince was busy with errands in the ministry. At the latest, he saw the Seventh Prince. He was quite surprised when he saw the Seventh Prince.

Among all the princes, the Seventh Prince, the Fifth Prince and the Twelfth Prince are famous princes. They have always been low-key and do not care about anything. Even if they get along with brothers and brothers, they are all indifferent and can only be just a decent relationship.

The fourth prince is the oldest. When he saw him, the seventh prince, the thirteenth prince and the seventeenth prince all stood up to greet him.

The Seventh Prince sighed in his heart, and he didn't know why he was coming.

Logically speaking, if he is not close to the Thirteenth Prince, if he gives some things, he will be fond of him. Even if the concubine comes to congratulate him, it is reasonable. He does not need to come here in person. The Eighth Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Twelfth Prince only sent gifts.

But by a tragic devil, he came back from the Ministry of Rites and passed by Jinyu Hu while still coming here. He had heard that the Cao family had a good relationship with the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, but as expected, after asking, his daughter had arrived.

Although the eighth prince who calls for the highest call for the reserve position now is the eighth prince, the seventh prince does not agree. I don’t know why, but in his heart, he can’t see through the fourth brother who is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. As the prince, who can truly be honest and have few desires and devote himself to Buddhism? No matter what others think, the seventh prince doesn’t believe it.

Today, I came to the Thirteenth Prince's residence to congratulate him. Is it because of my son-in-law or the fourth prince? The seventh Prince couldn't explain clearly. When he saw the joy that the Thirteenth Prince showed, he was too lazy to care about the reason.

After the brothers and several other guests in the hall came to pay their respects. Among them were the brother-in-law of the Thirteenth Prince, Yiduli, the young minister of the Taipu Temple; the brother-in-law of the Thirteenth Prince, the old son of Marhan Baizhu; the nephew of the Thirteenth Prince, Fengde and Fengche brothers.

Fengde and Fengche's father ranked third in uncles. Although he was nominally the eldest son of Marhan, he was actually Marhan's nephew. Because Marhan was forty and had no male under his knees, he adopted the third son of his brother's family to his name. When Marhan was sixty years old, he had another son, Baizhu.

When the Fourth Prince saw that except for the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Prince, all the relatives of Zhaojia were present, they felt a little uncomfortable. Before the Thirteenth Prince was convicted, not to mention the brothers, even the officials of the royal family were all like stars supporting the moon. The world was cold and the people's hearts were not old.

Bai Zhu was the most outspoken. He looked at the flower hall of the Thirteenth Prince and said, "Brother-in-law, it's now autumn, and you're still better. I came here a few days ago and it was so hot. Now, who in the city doesn't want to build a yard in Xishan? Why is there no movement here? Xishan is in summer, Changping Maodong, and even my old man is impatient in Beijing!"

The Thirteenth Prince smiled faintly and said, "Our mansion has a small population, so it's okay to live here!"

Bai Zhu wanted to say something else, but was quietly stopped by Fengde on the side, so he picked up the tea and changed the topic.

The female family in the inner courtyard, everyone talks about building a house in the west.

The Fourth Prince’s family is Ciyuan, so there is no need to say that the Seventh Prince went to choose a site a few days ago and wanted to build a garden in Xishan.

Zhao Jia brought several sons and daughters to Beijing, and the house in the city was not as generous as in previous years. It was okay to live in autumn and winter, but it was a bit hot in summer. When Cao Yong left Beijing, he mentioned with Chuyu that he bought a garden in Xishan to escape the summer heat.

Because he wanted to follow the escort, he didn't care about the capital. Cao Song was still filial and could not walk around, so Chu Yu asked the housekeeper to find a ready-made garden to ask for the price.

After the Seventh Prince knew about it, he asked someone to tell Chu Yu that the Cao family would follow the people from the royal palace to choose a site together and build a garden with them.

Chu Yu sent a letter to Rehe. After knowing that Cao Yong had no objection, he asked Cao Fang to follow the manager of the royal palace to set up a land in Xishan. Because he was next to the Chun Prince's Mansion, Chu Yu didn't have to worry about anything, and he just waited for the new garden to move in next year.

The Fourth Concubine knew that Prince Chun’s mansion was building land in Xishan, so she asked a few questions. The Seventh Concubine said a few words, then changed the topic and mentioned the topic to the little prince again.

All of them are aunts and aunts here. Even if Chu Yu has the lowest seniority, she coaxed Zhao Jia's eldest son Hong Tsui to speak. Hong Tsui was only two months older than Wu Er, with a half-named name. She was very fat and very popular.

In addition to the Fourth and Seventh Concubines, the Li family, the side concubine of the Seventh Concubines and the Sixteenth Concubines, is also there. The Li family, born in June, has a little plump body. The Seventh Concubine is the youngest, two years younger than Chu Yu, and is next to Chu Yu and talks with her to make fun of Hong Ting.

The Seventeenth Concubine looked at Hong Tsu, remembered something, and whispered to Chu Yu: "This year is the leap month of May, otherwise Tianyou will have his birthday!"

When Chu Yu saw his son mentioning him, he looked dazed and nodded after a while.

It was about to be Mid-Autumn Festival, and in a few days it will be the birthday of the second and fifth princesses of the Chun Palace. After leaving the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, Chu Yu followed his stepmother back to the palace for a while.

The second princess’ birthday is August 14th, and the fifth princess’ birthday is August 17th. In previous years, the two princess’ birthdays were celebrated together. This year, the second princess’ birthdays are even different from previous years.

After talking about family matters with Chu Yu, the seventh concubine said, "If Chu Yu is full of health, go and see your cousin! She gave birth a few days ago, but now she is not in good health!"

Chu Yu was the first time he heard about it and was shocked. She knew about Qiaofu's pregnancy. She calculated the days, it had been more than five months, and miscarriage was not safe at this time.

The Seventh Concubine sighed and said, "After all, she is not lucky, she is a formed baby boy!"

When Chu Yu saw the seven concubine's expression was obscure, he comforted him: "My cousin is still young, don't worry too much, take care of her body, and give her a grandson to her next year."

The Seventh Concubine smiled and looked at Chu Yu and said, "The prince is here to accompany him, there is no need to say this. When he comes back to Beijing, you must hurry up and add a little brother to Tianyou earlier."

Chu Yu blushed slightly and stood up and asked someone to take him to visit Qiaofu.

Because Qiaofu was pregnant a few months ago, although she did not do anything here, she also opened her face and moved to the wing room of Hongzhuo's yard.

Because this was a wing room, the room was a little dim. When Chu Yu came in, Qiaofu closed her eyes and thought it was a maid, and whispered: "Shui!"

Chu Yu saw a teapot on the table. Although there was still tea in it, it was already cold. Chu Yu frowned slightly and whispered to someone to get the hot water.

Qiaofu heard Chu Yu's voice and then opened her eyes and struggled to get up to greet Chu Yu.

Chu Yu hurriedly went up and held it down, saying, "Stop tossing, you are not an outsider, just lie down and talk!"

Qiaofu's eyes turned red, but she still sat up half leaned over and said, "Big Cousin" in her mouth, and she could no longer say anything, and tears fell down her face.

Chu Yu sighed in his heart, took out a veil from his arms, and wiped it for her: "I hurt my eyes carefully, stop crying. If the disease is rooted, I will still feel uncomfortable."

Qiaofu murmured, "Big cousin, I miss you mom... I have never thought so..."

Chu Yu thought that when he first met her in spring, although he was not considered beautiful, he was also a delicate and tender little girl. She couldn't help but feel soft and whispered: "Don't call me cousin, just like Hongzhuo, call me sister. The past is over, and you will have a good life with Hongzhuo in the future, and there will always be children. On the side of your mother, you don't have to worry. After you get along for a long time, she will love you. Since you marry into the mansion, you will be like your own family in the future."

Qiaofu heard this and tears came out again. She stretched out her hand and touched her stomach. She cried to Chu Yu: "Sister, I dreamed that the child blamed me, and it was useless to blame me as a mother."

Chu Yu is also a mother, so he can naturally experience Qiaofu's pain, and he can't help but comfort him again. When she thought of Tianyou in her heart, she couldn't let go. As the Seventeenth Concubine said, if it weren't for the leap month, Tianyou would have been on her birthday. Is it time for Tianyou, who has been in more than eleven months, to learn to speak?

*

Although I didn't know that Tianyou, who was far away in Jiangning, had not started to learn to speak, Cao Yong, who was thousands of miles away, saw his son talking in his dream.

The three little people who looked exactly the same dressed differently. They waved their hands and raised their faces and ran to Cao Yong's legs. One called "Dad", the other called "Ama", and the other called "Dad".

Cao Yong couldn't help but feel a little confused when he spoke Chinese, Manchu and Mongolian languages. However, the three children were dancing their hands and shouting to hug them.

Cao Yong was in a hurry and didn't know which one should be picked up. He had only one child, so how could three run out? Or could he say anything, which was so strange.

Seeing that the father refused to answer, the three children started crying together. Cao Yong felt his head "buzzing", as if it was about to explode. He was about to scold him, but he woke up suddenly.

He rubbed his forehead, took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was already the third day of the lunar month (1:45 pm), and he slept for half an hour at noon.

Thinking of his dream just now, Cao Yong calculated his days and had been away from his son and his parents to Jiangning for nearly half a year. He was really a little panicked.

I heard someone call at the door: "Furuo, are you awake?"

However, it was Nalanfusson's voice. Cao Yong turned over and got out of bed, walked forward and opened the door, and said, "Brother Nalan, I'm up!"

Narantouson came in and said with a smile: "I think everyone has been exhausted these days, and Lao De and the others have not woken up yet!"

Cao Yong asked him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "This is far enough. I remember that it is always six or seven thousand miles away from the capital! Looking at the days, even if we finish the errands in the past few days, we don't have to go to Rehe, just go back to Beijing!"

Nalanfusen thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Fruo, is that Bayin trustworthy?"

Bayin was the servant from the Lama Temple who came to the inn yesterday to meet Cao Yong and others. The one he gave was a map of the royal palace. Didn’t he want to sleep, so someone gave him a pillow?

Although the servant said that this was brought by the little princess, and that she believed that someone would come to save Dangsang Wangbo Lama. However, Cao Yong did not dare to make any decisions at will when it came to the safety of several people.

According to the current inquiry, Khan Cewang Zhabu is a man with a tyrannical temper. If Cao Yong and others rashly go over to save people, if they fail, who can guarantee that he will not be confused and deal with everyone first. At that time, even if Kangxi punishes them, everyone will be killed.

Therefore, when he heard Nalanfusson's question, Cao Yong said, "I think no one will set us a trap, but it is not appropriate to go through this. Anyway, the Khan will have to wait until the little princess gave birth before dealing with Dangsang Wangbo. Let's be more at ease and have a few days off here to see if you can find someone in the mansion to ask carefully. Bayin is not from the royal palace, and some things may not be known clearly."

Narantouson nodded and said, "If Furu is right, we will come all the way, and it will be better than this day or two. I was worried that you would be anxious. If you think so, I will feel relieved!"

As the two were talking, they heard the rushing footsteps outside the door. Xiaoman and Wei Hei, who were going out to inquire about the news, came back.

When the two of them came in, they saw Nalanfusen there, Wei Hei hugged his fists and regarded it as a tribute, and then said to Cao Yong: "Young Master, there has been a change in the Khan's mansion! We must arrange it in advance for saving people!"

After hearing this, Cao Yong asked hurriedly: "What's going on? You have heard the news. Is Khan going to deal with Dangsang Wangbo?"

Wei Hei waved his hand and said, "It's not this. I just went to the Khan's Mansion to inquire about the news, and saw cars coming and going at the gate. It was very unusual. After searching for someone, I found out that it was the little princess of the palace who was having difficulty giving birth and was asking people to do rituals everywhere. In the morning, several groups of shamans entered the mansion!"
