In the palace, with the company of the children, time almost flew by.
On the sixth day of August, the queen showed signs of giving birth, but had no labor pains.
It wasn't until the night of the seventh day of August that the regular labor pains began. Under Wang Xiu's comfort, the queen kept her mind steady, ate when she needed to, and endured the pain as much as she could.
It was not until the eighth day of August that the child was born safely.
She is a little princess, weighing six pounds and six taels, pink and tender, with black hair. Although she hasn't opened her eyes yet, she can already tell that she looks like Jiang Qing between her eyebrows, and she will definitely be a little beauty in the future.
The eldest princess was so rare that she hugged her for a long time in the delivery room before giving the emperor a hug later.
The little guy was very obedient. Except for crying for a while when he was born, he slept obediently and didn't even hum.
The empress gave birth to the princess safely, and the emperor is preparing to grant pardon to the world. He is convening six ministries to discuss the decree, which will be promulgated when the princess is one month old.
The news spread quickly, and many families who had committed crimes, but the crime was not serious enough and had extenuating circumstances, went to the government offices to see if they were included in the amnesty.
But because the decree had not been promulgated, the public atmosphere in the government was very strict, and nothing could be found out. But even so, everyone still held out hope and thought about sending some money to the yamen.
The previous corruption case was investigated with great fanfare. Although it has passed now, officials are still afraid of being caught. For a while, they have not heard of where bribes were accepted?
But at this juncture, the whole country is waiting for the amnesty order. The atmosphere is like the Chinese New Year. You can feel a festive atmosphere wherever you go.
Wang Xiu and the eldest princess left the palace on August 11th and were going home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This time when they entered the palace, the children had a great time. When they got home, they talked about the prince's brother and talked about when they could go.
Lu Yunhong said to Lu Chengxi: "It's not impossible for you to want to see your brother the prince. How about working as a book boy for his highness?"
Lu Chengxi thought about his small body, running up and down with the prince every day, and having to be at his disposal at any time, and he soon became unhappy.
But Lu Xinran said: "Eldest brother is so stupid. The prince's brother has so many books, and the teachers are all famous scholars in the capital. They will definitely be very powerful in the future. He only thinks about getting tired?"
Lu Chengxi said: "Isn't daddy great? Dad is also the prince's teacher. Why should I sacrifice what is close and seek what is far away?"
Lu Xinran said: "But dad is different. When dad wants to accompany your mother, he has no intention of teaching you!"
Lu Yunhong: "..."
Wang Xiu: "..."
Lu Chengxi moved his mouth angrily, and found that he couldn't refute, so he snorted heavily!
After the two little guys left, Wang Xiu punched Lu Yunhong directly.
And scolded: "I told you to help Chengxi learn a little bit, but you just didn't listen!"
"It's better now. Even Xinran can see that you are not serious anymore."
Lu Yunhong touched his nose angrily and whispered: "Chengxi is still young. I'm just teaching him how to study. As long as he grows up slowly, it will be fine."
Wang Xiu looked at him coolly and thought: You continue, continue to talk?
Lu Yunhong couldn't help himself and laughed first.
He immediately said: "Don't worry, I will teach Chengxi well in the future, and then you just have to check and accept the results. If you are not satisfied, it is not too late to teach me a lesson!"
Wang Xiu snorted coldly: "Okay. But let's talk about the ugly things first. When the acceptance results are not good, I will take Xinran out to play and ignore you and Chengxi!"
Lu Yunhong said quickly: "Don't worry, we father and son will definitely be able to compete. Apart from other things, as long as I tell Chengxi that you just want to take Xinran out to play, he will definitely work hard!"
Wang Xiucai didn't want to eat the cake he painted. She just came back from the palace and just wanted to have a good sleep.
Lu Yunhong also prepared to take off his clothes to accompany him, but was kicked out by Wang Xiu.
Wang Xiu said angrily: "I'm tired, and so are you? If you don't supervise your children to study in broad daylight, how can you sleep?"
Lu Yunhong looked at the closed door, straightened his clothes, and wanted to be more relaxed, but he felt very depressed in his heart!
Can't sleep without being tired?
His wife has been away from home for almost half a month, doesn't he miss her?
This is great, my wife didn't get to hold her son, so I still have to take care of her son.
He still only has two children. When his wife gives birth to a third child, his miserable life will probably be endless?
Lu Yunhong stretched out his hand to cover his face, and suddenly thought, how could he be persuaded by the old man in the first place?
What's not good to do these days? Why do you have to have multiple children? And then take care of them all yourself?
Is he free?
…
In Wu Jinghou Mansion, Mei Min's period of confinement has expired.
As soon as I left the house, I heard the bustling sounds on the street. The Queen had given birth to a princess.
But what about the princess? She couldn't stand the emperor's liking and wanted to pardon the whole world.
Princess Yanyang also gave birth to a daughter, and Gao Xian didn't dare to say anything. When a woman gets married, her natal family is very important. If her natal family falls, she will also lose power.
In the past three months, Mei Min thought a lot. She couldn't sink into the dust and be among those maggots. She couldn't get up and go back to her original position.
She has missed a lot in the past few years, the most serious one being the support of the Mei family.
She has gone from being a daughter of the Mei family that others wanted to fawn over, to someone who now hates the abandoned woman when others mention her. She is still an abandoned woman in the Wu Jinghou Mansion who has not seen the light of day all year round.
But before ending all this, she had to meet someone.
That person was Princess Yanyang. She once wanted to harm her, but now that she thinks about it, she just feels ridiculous.
Soon, Mei Min found out that Princess Yanyang often went to Zhuangyuan Street, sometimes to buy some clothing materials, sometimes to buy food. Mei Min found those shops and walked there from time to time.
Finally, on August 12th, she met Princess Yanyang who was shopping.
The carriages on Zhuangyuan Street could not enter, but Princess Yanyang had twelve servants at her side.
There are four personal servants, two maids, and two close maids.
Then came the mother-in-law who delivered the message, and the maids who ran errands, two each.
In addition, the people guarding the door of the store are all guards with swords. They are also wearing the clothes of the guards of Prince Cheng's palace, which is very conspicuous!
If Mei Min hadn't been waiting in the store in advance, she probably wouldn't have been able to get in even if she wanted to.
However, when Princess Yanyang saw her, she did not recognize her. She thought she was a relative of the shop owner and ignored her.
It wasn't until Mei Min opened the curtain and revealed a face full of scars that Princess Yanyang screamed in surprise and stepped back.
But Mei Min quickly said: "Princess, don't panic, I came alone."
After saying that, he spread his hands, but there was nothing in his hands.
The people around Princess Yanyang had already gathered around her. They didn't care whether Mei Min was alone or not, they all looked at her warily.
Mei Min looked at Princess Yanyang who was being protected by everyone, and said with a faint smile: "Didn't the Princess want to know what happened between me and Gao Xian? You must also know that I have offended the Queen, and I will still be able to do it again in the future.
I won’t know if I can’t leave the house.”
"Just this opportunity, if the princess wants to hear it, I will tell her to her. If the princess doesn't want to hear it, she can leave now."
Princess Yanyang saw the calmness in Mei Min's eyes, and she seemed not to want to hide her head and show her tail any longer.
She was disgusted and hated this woman. But if she really wanted to confront her, she couldn't help but feel curious.
What exactly happened between Gao Xian and her back then?
Aunt Gui knew something was wrong and quickly stopped her: "Princess Princess, don't listen to her. This woman has bad intentions. Let's go back first!"
But Princess Yanyang still raised her hand to stop her and said: "It doesn't matter, please ask the boss out!"
Today she wanted to see what Mei Min could say? Would she say black was white?
