Mrs. Zhao looked at her daughter's bulging cheeks and felt a little worried.
This girl has eaten five dried vegetable and meat buns as big as mooncakes in a row, and she still won't stop.
Zhao Ning'er sat on an Arhat bed, her eyes bright, holding a steamed bun and eating heavily. She was almost due to give birth, but her stomach was silent. But for some reason, her appetite has increased recently. Especially today.
, the home-cooked meal sent by her mother was even more to her liking.
Bring over the Laba garlic! Zhao Ning'er said to Mei Liang, put it in the butterfly, pour more soup and soak it in it!
Seeing her daughter's chubby, pink face, Mrs. Zhao felt angry and laughed at the same time, and said, "Eat less! Don't burst!"
Zhao Ning'er held her belly with one hand and held the bun in the other. She smiled and said, "Mom, my daughter has been able to eat recently. I ate seven of the leek boxes baked by my ex-wife, Concubine Hui, in one go. It scared her!"
Call the imperial doctor over and insist on showing it to me!
What did the imperial doctor say? Zhao asked urgently.
Zhao Ning'er was puzzled. What could she say? It was still the same old story, saying that I should be able to eat now. After all, I still have a little one in my arms. However, she still told me that I shouldn't eat more, but should eat less often...
.........
What mother means is that the imperial doctor didn’t tell you when the baby would be born? Ms. Zhao was extremely anxious. It’s been how many days, and your belly is so bloated, but there’s no movement?
Zhao Ning'er touched her belly and smiled slightly. If he doesn't come out, what can her daughter do? Just wait!
You are heartless! Mrs. Zhao said angrily, "Your father and I were so anxious at home that we couldn't sleep at night!" Then, when he was anxious to ask, the imperial doctor didn't say whether he was a boy or a girl!
Which imperial doctor dares to talk nonsense about this! Zhao Ning'er was full and said with a smile, "Mother, the buns you make are delicious. The stuff in the palace is exquisite, but it doesn't taste like home!"
Mrs. Zhao's face showed a bit of love. She loves to eat. Mom will cook more for you in the future! As she said that, she sighed, "It's just........."
Seeing that her mother seemed to be worried, Zhao Ning'er asked, Mom, are you worried? What's wrong?
No, it's okay! Ms. Zhao defended in a panic.
No, you are hiding something from me! After all, Zhao Ning'er is the princess of the East Palace. She has a straight face at this time, but she has the aura of the mother of the country. Is there something going on at home?
Your dad, your dad is going to have a baby! Saying that, Mrs. Zhao suddenly started crying.
Zhao Ning'er was startled and frowned.
Beside, Mei Liangliang, the eunuch of Kunning Palace, was extremely anxious.
Why is Mrs. Chengenhou so confused? She is pregnant. Why is she gossiping here? What should I do if she gets pregnant?
Thinking of this, Mei Liang calmly glanced at the other young eunuch outside the door. The latter understood and left silently.
The concubine has a dragon seed in her belly. If anything happens, no one in the palace will survive. The old prince sends people to ask questions three times a day. The imperial doctor is waiting outside the palace at any time.
, are all looking forward to it.
Dad, why are you so confused? You are so old that you still want to take a concubine? Zhao Ning'er frowned and asked, where did he find his daughter?
I don’t know where the fox girl is from, it is said that she is a young lady from a fallen official family! Mrs. Zhao choked and said, "I have been with him for so many years and suffered so much. I finally lived a good life for a few days."
The daughter he gave birth to by me started to tremble, and he forgot his roots!
Feeling irritated by her mother's crying, Zhao Ning'er asked again, "Going home?"
I won't let that vixen in the house! Ms. Zhao cursed, there was a quarrel a few days ago, and your father kept that vixen outside the house! Now that you are about to give birth, I won't care about him. I will wait until you give birth.
, I must have smashed it......
Mom, you are making a fool of yourself!
Zhao was stunned when her daughter suddenly scolded her.
Zhao Ning'er added that it has been a principle since ancient times for a good man to have three wives and four concubines. We only have one younger brother in our family, so what's wrong with my father being willing to spread his ideas? He didn't have enough rank before, and it was a crime to have concubines. Now he is a relative of the Ming Dynasty.
Lord Marquis, even if you marry more than one, it will not violate the law. As long as the woman is of pure origin, what's wrong with it?
When a daughter gets married, she must obey her husband and be virtuous and virtuous. This is what you taught me. How come you have forgotten it? Even if you are not happy, you cannot make a fuss! What will outsiders say when they see it?
I don’t know, maybe I said something ugly?
Mrs. Zhao cried and said, "Daughter, how can you help him!" Then she cried loudly, "When I think of a fox in my family, my heart is like a knife! Men become bad when they are rich, your father"
That bastard is so heartless!
Crying, as if he had a premonition of something, he said to Mei Liang, "Father-in-law, I'm not scolding you!"
Mei Liang smiled, "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! Madam, stop crying, it will hurt your body!"
I just couldn’t give it up! Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears and said to her daughter, “You don’t let me make the decision! You are the empress. Can’t you give the order to prevent your father from getting married?”
There is no reason for a daughter to order her father! Zhao Ning'er said displeasedly, "If you really do that, others will say you are a jealous mother and your daughter is unfilial!"
As he said this, looking at his crying mother, he finally couldn't bear it and said, "Mom, why are you so confused!"
Ms. Zhao raised her head in confusion.
Zhao Ning'er said again, you are the wife of the royal family. Even if my father marries ten, they will all be concubines. What does the law of the Ming Dynasty say? The eldest wife has the power of life and death over the concubines. It is not right for you not to let your father's concubines enter.
Did it suit her?
She was in the house outside, closed the door, called her "ma'am", and summoned her slaves, which was extremely impressive!
You, you should let her in and set the rules for her! When the time comes, she will kneel down and serve you tea. If she dares to disobey you, wouldn't beating her to death be like killing a kitten or puppy?
After saying that, I quickly touched my belly. Hey, my child, my mother didn’t mean to say these things. Don’t listen to them and don’t learn them!
After hearing what her daughter said, Ms. Zhao suddenly realized.
She is the royal wife and a marquise conferred by the imperial court. Shouldn’t her husband’s concubine be controlled by her?
If the vixen doesn't come in, she can't take care of her. Once he does, he will serve her like a little girl every day!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao started to smile, but then it dimmed again. You said it easily, our family is from a small family, how could we know this! Besides, how do we control her when she comes in? Your sister and I are the only ones at home.
, your sister has a docile temperament, I'm afraid she won't be able to control that vixen!
Zhao Ning'er held her belly and sighed, "Mei Liang!"
The slave is here!
Go, choose some experienced nuns, and send them to my natal family for a period of time!
The servant turned back to say hello to the other side of the Jingsi Room, choose a few capable ones! Mei Liang smiled and said, Old Madam, don’t worry. The nuns in the Jingsi Room don’t have sand in their eyes!
This is such a good thing! Zhao said with a smile.
At this time, Concubine Guo Hui's voice suddenly came from outside, "Haha, Madam Chengenhou is here!"
Madam, Mrs. Zhao, hurry up and pay her respects.
Zhao Ning'er also stood up and said with a smile, Concubine Hui... As she spoke, her face suddenly stiffened and she fell down.
What's wrong? Zhao called out urgently.
I..........seem to be giving birth!
Pass on the imperial physician!
hurry up!
Kunning Palace suddenly became busy.
~~~~
Your Highness!
The bastard rushed in and yelled so frightened that Zhu Yunxi almost dropped his chopsticks into the pot. At the same time, all the officials in the palace looked sideways.
What are you calling? Zhu Yunxi said angrily.
She’s about to give birth! She’s giving birth! The bastard is talking shamefully and incoherently, the queen is about to give birth!
Which empress? After saying that, Zhu Yunxi stood up suddenly and ran out, Ning'er!
The Grand Concubine is about to give birth, and all the ministers in the palace are frozen.
After a while, Li Jinglong got up and ran out.
Little Lizi, what are you doing? Duke Feng Sheng of Song Dynasty shouted.
Go home and prepare gifts! Li Jinglong doesn’t even look back. This is the great-grandson of the old emperor!
Everyone suddenly understood, and then stood up one after another, thinking about what to give.
Li Jinglong walked out anxiously, constantly wondering if there were any good and auspicious things at home.
Bang, while walking, Li Jinglong suddenly patted his forehead.
I thought to myself, I heard that my father-in-law snatched a pair of Guanyin embroidery from the Tang Dynasty in Dadu, Yuan Dynasty. I don’t know if it is still there?
~~~~
In the old man's palace, the old man was leaning on his back and looking at the little girl with teeth and five claws in the cradle.
Yoyo, here it is! Here it is!
With his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, he was teasing the little girl with a cotton tiger, and the wrinkles on the old man's face softened with a smile.
The little man in the cradle kicked his legs and giggled.
In the room, all the eunuchs and palace people were walking far away, with their heads lowered, not daring to look, let alone listen.
Blessings, our blessings!
The old man whispered, look up, look at dad! We are your dad! Hehe!
Yeah! The baby responded gently.
The emperor also loved family happiness. In these days, it was more important to embrace grandchildren rather than children. He had never held those grown-up children, let alone played with them.
He loved those young sons, but he didn't take them seriously.
Only when I saw this youngest girl, my heart that was filled with steel melted away at the little girl's laughter.
There is a saying that straight men prefer small cotton-padded jackets. This has been true in ancient and modern times.
Your Majesty, please have a rest! Miaoyu, who was leaning on the bed, said softly. She thought that the Emperor would be unhappy with the birth of a daughter, but unexpectedly, the Emperor loved her to the core and came to see her every day.
You have given us a beautiful daughter, and you are well done! The old man continued to tease his daughter and said with a smile, from now on, I will be the concubine of Jin Shu!
Miaoyu was suddenly stunned, then ecstatic, lying on the bed and kowtow, slave... I thank the Lord for your kindness! As she said that, there was all kinds of tenderness in her eyes, I am useless, this time it is my daughter, next time
........ This concubine will definitely be the emperor and give birth to a dragon!
We don't care about those with handles, there are a lot of them at home. The old man smiled and said, but the little girl is just like this!
As he was talking, there was a thump, thump, thump, and footsteps outside.
The old man was furious and turned around to see Pu Bucheng kneeling on the ground.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is about to give birth!
With a whoosh, the old man threw down the cloth tiger in his hand and walked out.
As he walked, he muttered, "Great-grandson, great-grandson! We want a great-grandson!"
