At the end of the unitary hour, the sun was setting in the west. Doctor Li, the expert in pediatrics that Qingyan had hired, gave the little brother a careful look, then stroked his mixed black and white beard with his right hand and let out a long sigh.
"Mr. Li, how is Fourth Brother's health?"
When the little palace maid saw the sad look on Doctor Li's face, her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she looked down with worry at the little brother who was already clean and sleeping quietly in the golden swaddling clothes.
"The fourth elder brother was not raised well in his mother's womb and has some congenital deficiencies. I am afraid that in the future he will not only be afraid of cold and heat, but also have much less strength than the other elder brothers."
Dr. Li frowned and wrote a prescription on the paper, while casually answering the little palace maid's questions, his tone full of regret.
Hearing what the other party said, the little palace maid also lowered her head in shame. The master did not take good care of the fetus during pregnancy.
"Is there any way to help little brother get better?" The nanny standing nearby also asked anxiously.
After all, the emperor is a noble heir, and if the fourth elder brother's health becomes worse and worse under the care of palace servants like them, the emperor will definitely not let them go.
"Brother Si is too young now and can't bear the effects of the medicine." Doctor Li looked up at Xiao Yinzhen with some embarrassment, then lowered his head to write on the rice paper. After about half a quarter of an hour, he put the brush aside.
On the pen holder, he picked up the prescription and blew it gently a few times. After the ink dried, he reached out and handed it to the little palace maid standing beside him.
"I first tried to prescribe a few packets of nourishing decoction, boil two bowls of water into one bowl of water for the nanny to take, and then wait for more than half an hour before feeding the little brother breast milk. Maybe it will have some effect.
"
"Thank you, Imperial Doctor. Thank you, Imperial Physician." The little palace maid hurriedly bent down slightly to take the prescription from Imperial Physician Li.
Doctor Li saw the sad look in her eyes and couldn't help but kindly reminded her: "You don't have to worry too much. Fortunately, the fourth brother was born at full term. As long as the palace people take good care of her and look after her more carefully, he will still be fine."
Grow up."
When they heard that Brother Si could be fed, the eyes of the little palace maid and the nanny's eyes lit up, and they were greatly relieved.
Then the little palace maid followed Dr. Li to the hospital to get medicine. The nurse also gently picked up the golden swaddling clothes on the bed and carefully walked into the inner room. She saw Wu Yashi, who had recovered most of her strength, leaning on the bed.
Drinking spoonfuls of light ginseng chicken soup to replenish his energy, he happily walked to the bed, bent slightly and turned the baby's face towards Wu Yashi.
"Girl, look at my little brother. After he's washed, his features are very handsome." The nanny said as she turned her arms to the outside so that Wu Ya could see clearly the baby in the swaddle.
Wu Yashi turned her head and glanced at Xiao Yinzhen coldly. She squeezed the white porcelain spoon in her hand with great strength, and she felt the strong desire in her heart to knock the child out of the nanny's arms.
After suppressing the urge to eat, he lowered his head and continued to eat without looking at Si Age again.
The nanny standing on one side was a little embarrassed by her behavior.
This was the first time she saw a mother desperately trying to give birth to her ten-month-old child. Instead of having any joy at all, her eyes were filled with deep disgust.
Just as the nanny was thinking about how to tell Wu Yashi what Dr. Li said about the fourth brother's congenital deficiencies, Wu Yashi, who was sitting on the bed, stuffed the small white porcelain bowl into the hand of the nanny, and then
Lifting up the thin brocade quilt, he slowly lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest. He turned his face to the inside of the bed and said coldly and without any emotion: "Don't hold him in front of me and hang around in the future. I heard his cry."
Just upset!”
"Yes, yes, then you should rest first. I will carry the little brother down now." From an angle that Wu Yashi couldn't see, the nanny couldn't help but frowned and glanced at her, and then said slightly
He hugged the fourth elder brother in his arms, and then walked out holding the small white porcelain bowl in his left hand.
…
Three days later, on the second day of May, the weather was clear and cloudless.
"Mommy, I'm here to change little brother's diaper. You should drink the medicine quickly." After hearing the weak cry of fourth brother, the little palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to untie little Yinzhen's swaddling clothes, and first used a warm
The white sweat towel wiped his little buttocks, then put a soft and clean diaper on him, and then carefully wrapped him in a new swaddling bag next to it.
After feeling comfortable, Xiao Yinzhen opened his bright black eyes, pouted his mouth, looked at the light blue bed curtain above his head for a while, then gently closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Hey, mama, what do you think our fourth brother should do? There is no high-ranking empress to take care of even the three rites of baptism." The little palace maid threw the dirty diaper into the old copper basin on the left, and then washed her own with water.
After washing my hands, I sat down opposite the nanny.
"I don't know either. It may be that the emperor has never said which empress will raise my little brother, and because of the frailty of the fourth elder brother, he didn't arrange for the chief empress to do a threesome for our elder brother."
The nanny raised her right hand and drank the bitter concoction in the bowl in one gulp. She quickly rinsed her mouth with the water at hand. After the bitter taste in her mouth dissipated, she opened her mouth to answer the little palace maid's words.
"How important these three baptisms are to the Manchu people."
The little palace maid sighed lightly, turned to look at little Yinzhen, and continued: "I heard that Concubine Jing is holding a third birthday banquet for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Chuxiu Palace today. Concubine An and Prince Yu are both there.
It’s so lively here…”
Hearing the words of the little palace maid, the nanny felt extremely uncomfortable. The prince and the fourth elder brother are both the emperor's sons, but the contrast between the two is really too sharp. One heaven and one earth cannot be let go at all.
Come and see...
"Before, before my fourth brother was born, Nanny Tong from next door would come to visit every two or three days. I thought that Concubine Tong would raise my brother, but now she doesn't come either.
No, I must be unwilling." The little palace maid lowered her head and said with some disappointment.
Hearing what this sincere girl said, the nanny quickly reached out and slapped her arm hard, scolding her in a low voice: "You want to be beaten by that Wu Ya clan again? How dare you do it in this side hall?"
Speaking of Concubine Tong, don't think about how these two people are eager to fight each other after meeting. If our elder brother is really sent to the palace next door to be raised, wouldn't he be bullied to death by the palace people there?
!”
"Yes, yes." After hearing this analysis, the innocent little palace maid was so frightened that she covered her mouth tightly with her hands.
In fact, they all know that the Tong family is the biggest profiteer from secretly reselling the imperial food, while the Wuya family is the one who suffers the most losses. Now because of this matter, Concubine Tong and Miss Wuya are married.
Deadly feud!
Now that the family is gone, Miss Wuya's temper has become more and more weird and violent. Even she wants to escape from here. Even the most sincere servant will think if he is not beaten or scolded every day.
I won’t do it if I don’t do it...
After the two of them were silent for a moment, the little palace maid had a look of longing on her face, held her cheek in her hands and said softly: "Mammy, to tell you the truth, I really want to go to Chuxiu Palace as an errand."
"I heard that the imperial concubine is very kind to others. The fruits grown in the yard can be eaten by the masters, and the palace servants who serve inside can also eat them. Food is provided in the small kitchen day and night. I see that the palace servants there are all on errands.
With a rosy complexion, one can see that life is going smoothly."
The nanny raised her eyelids and glanced at the little palace maid with bright eyes, but did not refute her words.
On the day the fourth elder brother was born, a total of three empresses came to the side hall. She stood aside and watched with cold eyes. Only Concubine Jing could see her eyes flashed with distress when she saw the thin appearance of the little elder brother.
Although Concubine Duan smiled softly, in her eyes, her little brother was nothing more than a stranger.
Concubine Tong was more positive and was the first to arrive. The midwife had just taken the little brother out of the delivery room and was the first to rush forward. However, her eyes seemed to be evaluating whether an item was worth buying.
It's like going back, it really makes people feel a little bit confused...
"Let's not talk about it for now. Let's go to work quickly. I still hope that my brother can be held and raised by a high-ranking empress. It is better than being sent to the North Fifth Institute alone to be taken care of by a group of palace people..."
When the nanny heard the little Yinzhen on the bed started to moan again, after whispering this sentence, she quickly got up and walked to the bed, picked him up and patted his back gently, then unbuttoned his collar and started to give him
Little Yinzhen is breastfeeding.
The little palace maid also put away the melancholy look on her face, stretched out her hands and rubbed her face vigorously to cheer herself up, and then hurriedly bent over and carried the old copper basin out to clean the diapers.
Across the wall from the Chengqian Palace, Aunt Tong looked up at the east wall with some fatigue. She told her master over and over again the benefits of raising Fourth Brother for almost three days, and her words were almost worn out. However, she was still attracted by Concubine Tong.
He used the sentence "ugly, weak, and useless" to push him back.
The intelligence and knowledge of Empress Xiaokangzhang back then can be compared to how willful and pretentious Empress Tong is today.
Faced with a master who didn't listen to the good opinions of people around her and always liked to act in accordance with his own temperament, she was also a little discouraged. Such a person could be a beloved concubine with his sincerity towards the emperor. The rest of the palace
Don't count on power or anything like that.
She squinted her eyes and looked at the various peonies blooming on the mahogany flower stand. If a flower didn't bloom well, there would always be blooming flowers. It seemed that it was time to send a message to the family, and other girls needed to be cultivated secretly...
No matter what happens in the East Sixth Palace, the current atmosphere in Chuxiu Palace in the west is festive and lively.
At the beginning of Mao Shi, the sun had just broken, and the palace servants in Chuxiu Palace began to get busy.
Zhang Tianxi led the young eunuchs to lay out the red brocade carpet starting from the palace gate. When they reached the center of the courtyard, it was divided into three lines, one leading to the grape trellis on the west wall, one leading to the main hall in the center, and the other leading to
The ginkgo tree house next to the east wall, and then a childlike curved rainbow bridge wooden door about two meters wide and three meters high was stuck one meter away from the fork.
This rainbow wooden door was painted by Concubine Jing, who asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to work overtime to make it. On it were written the words "Baby Yinreng is three years old" in Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese. However, these words are not the common square characters.
They are all fat and round fonts. Although I thought they were a bit weird when I first saw them, when I look at them again, I can realize how cute they are.
In addition, the various fruit trees in the front yard are also wrapped with beautiful colored silk. Not only are the branches covered with sweet fruits, but also many glass bottles of different shapes are wrapped with thin hemp ropes.
There is water in the bottle, which exudes a colorful halo under the sunlight, which is very beautiful.
Not to mention the more than thirty large and small gift boxes piled in the tree house, all of which were carefully prepared by the imperial concubine.
When giving gifts to the little prince, Qingyan almost broke her head.
After all, Yin Reng lacks everything, and his vision has been cultivated by his Khan Ama. It is really difficult to give him a thoughtful and novel gift.
In the end, she really couldn't think of anything, so she had to choose to win in terms of quantity. She used the method of opening blind boxes to put all the valuable or cheap items she selected into the gift box, and then made a big mark with beautiful silk.
The bows are piled up in the tree house, allowing the little prince to experience the pleasure of opening a lot of gifts!
To add interest, these gift boxes come in different shapes and sizes, including round, square, and conical.
The big gift boxes are more than one meter high, and the small ones are only as big as a palm. From the outside, it is impossible to tell what is inside.
In order to let the children have fun, Qingyan also mixed a few empty boxes into it.
After the little prince, Baoqing, and Fulana ran to Chuxiu Palace, Qingyan took the three of them, plus Prince Yu's two children, and took the elevator to the tree house.
The little prince excitedly spread his short legs and sat on the floor. It took him half an hour to open all the gift boxes one by one. No matter what was opened, the children who were watching clapped their little hands and shouted in admiration.
The admiration of "Wow" actually made the little birthday girl's eyes turn into crescents.
…
As noon approached, several children insisted on setting up a table by themselves, so Qingyan had no choice but to ask the palace officials to set up a small table for them at the big slide, and then she took the three adults in the yard to eat under the grape trellis.
BBQ.
"Sister Jing, are the chicken wings ready?" Tana asked, sitting on a chair and looking longingly at the barbecue in Qingyan's hand.
"Puch." Seeing the greedy look on the little girl opposite, Mrs. Li burst out laughing.
"Sister An, if you don't want to eat, just pass me the mutton skewers in your hand." Tana heard Li's laughter and immediately raised her right hand to her eyes, asking for the meat without blushing.
string.
Mrs. Li paused, then quickly raised the bamboo stick in her hand and shoved every piece of meat into her mouth with her teeth from end to end.
Seeing the two people opposite each other childishly glaring at each other, Qingyan felt that these two people were really promising and she didn't even notice...
"I think what the imperial concubine said makes sense. Sure enough, eating the meat skewers you grilled by yourself will have a different taste." Siruke smiled and turned the beautifully colored vegetable skewers in his hands.
Three people showed off.
"It's not a good craftsmanship, it's always baked into black carbon." Mrs. Li embarrassedly threw the bamboo stick in her hand into the ceramic trash can aside to destroy the corpse, and then picked up another one from the plate.
Skewers of fresh meat continue to be grilled on the iron rack.
When they had nothing to do, these three people all loved to run to Chuxiu Palace, and they bumped into each other more often. Over time, the four people with different personalities gradually developed a warm sisterly relationship.
After Mrs. Li finished eating the last grilled chicken wing, she looked at the three people sitting across from her on the armchair lazily holding glasses and drinking juice, burped lightly, and then said mysteriously: "You guys
Do you know that the Queen is a little unusual these days?"
"Yesterday, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, when she took us to greet the Queen Mothers of the two palaces, she actually sat in the phoenix chariot the whole time."
"Maybe it's because I'm not feeling well. I heard the maid from Kunning Palace say that a few days ago." Qingyan got up too early today. Now she was tired after eating and drinking. She yawned loudly and stood aside.
He answered.
"Really?" Mrs. Li frowned slightly, feeling that she had overlooked something wrong. Just as she was about to say something else, she saw several children running towards them in panic from the corner of her eye.
"Auntie, please save my little brother."
Several people turned around when they heard the crying voice of the little prince, and saw Bai Lu running towards the little Changquan who was over one year old and had a red mouth.
"Changquan!" Siruk was so frightened that the glass in his hand instantly slipped. He stood up and ran towards his son, begging for meat skewers.
Mrs. Li paused, then quickly raised the bamboo stick in her hand and shoved every piece of meat into her mouth with her teeth from end to end.
