Shangguan Ruoli thought the little guy who had the instinct to look for food was so cute and said with a smile: "Come on, I'm hungry! This is still a snack!"
Giving the child to a wet nurse to nurse. In this era, wealthy families had wet nurses. It was almost a convention. Only poor families nursed their children by themselves.
Shangguan Ruoli decided that his child must be breastfed by himself, unless his own milk supply was insufficient, or he could ask the wet nurse to fill the leak when he was not at home.
Zheng Shuyue cleared her throat and said to Bai Qingqing: "I also know the emperor's will. The formal ceremony for you and Zimo to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan will probably have to wait until I am out of confinement. After all, I am the only direct bloodline. If I don't participate
, always seems not formal enough.”
Bai Qingqing smiled slightly and said generously: "There's no rush. We went to Beijing to bring back Duke Ding's belongings. Recognizing our ancestors and returning to our clan is purely an unexpected joy."
"Tch! Hypocrisy!" A mean voice came from the crowd.
Everyone found out by reputation that it was Zheng Shuyue's concubine sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, and that Bai Zimo recognized her ancestor and returned to the clan, which was directly related to her interests.
Zheng Shuyue looked over with a cold look, "Shut up if you don't know how to speak!"
Mrs. Liu, however, snorted disdainfully, "Anyone with brains knows how to choose between the young lady from Dingguo Gong and the village girl from the border area, so why bother to be pretentious!"
"You!" Bai Qingqing came up with the past theory, but was stopped by Shangguan Ruoli, indicating that she didn't need to be like this stupid woman.
Today is Xiao Anning's baptism. Zheng Shuyue is still in confinement. Bai Qingqing doesn't want to cause trouble at this time, so she has to keep her mouth shut.
Zheng Shuyue gave Ms. Liu a cold look, "You, a concubine, came here and didn't kick you out because of Xiao An Ning's sake. If you talk nonsense again, I'll beat you out!"
In this era, the status of children of common people was better than that of slaves. Without invitations, they were not qualified to appear on important social occasions.
That is to say, there are no male sons in the direct lineage of Duke Dingguo, so the bastards are more important than the bastards of other families.
Zheng Shuyue has also been on the battlefield, and she was a fearless master before marriage. When the evil spirit comes out at this time, it is also very scary.
Mrs. Liu trembled in fright and shut her mouth obediently, but still looked at Bai Qingqing with resentment and contempt.
Bai Qingqing smiled indifferently and turned a blind eye.
Zheng Shuyue said: "You go back and give them a message. The yard on Qipan Street should be vacated, and other properties should be allocated to Zimo, and a dowry should be given to Qingqing."
After saying that, he motioned to the maid next to him to hand a list into Mrs. Liu's hand.
When Mrs. Liu saw it, she screamed, "So many things?! Why?! Our Duke Dingguo's family has been separated for a long time. Why should we take our things back?"
Zheng Shuyue said coldly: "Tell them, it's okay if they don't give out things evenly. You all move out of the Dingguo Palace and give the Dongguo Palace to Zimo!"
The parents did not separate the family, and both Duke Dingguo and his wife had passed away many years ago. When the concubines came of age, they divided the property. However, everyone still lived together in the Duke Dingguo's mansion for the sake of its reputation.
Although they live in the same compound, they actually live their own lives.
After all, when the family is divided, the Duke Dingguo's palace is gone. Without titles and reputations, they are just ordinary people. As long as they still live in the Duke Dingguo's palace, they can borrow the reputation of Duke Dingguo.
Mrs. Liu dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything. She put away the list and prepared to go back and discuss it with the men. It would not be that easy to pluck things from their hands!
At this time, it was time for the mother-in-law to come in and report good luck.
Everyone has a meal first, and then begins the three rites.
Shangguan Ruoli felt nauseous when he smelled the food and resisted retching.
Shangguan Ruoli has the highest status here. Everyone is waiting for Shangguan Ruoli to get up and go to the dining room.
Shangguan Ruoli said calmly: "You go ahead, I still have something to say with Princess Jinyang."
The seventh aunt and the eighth aunt left the room first. Bai Qingqing didn't go out either. He took out a pack of plums from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Here, pure natural plums without additives."
Shangguan Ruoli felt a burst of sour water in his stomach, "vomit!"
She ran to the screen and vomited. Zheng Shuyue could not go out during the confinement period. There was a toilet there.
"What's wrong with the princess?" Zheng Shuyue was a little nervous. Although this is Shangguan Ruoli's natal home, Shangguan Ruoli is now the princess. If something happens to Shangguan Ruoli, they can't afford it.
Bai Qingqing ate a plum blossom by herself and said, "It's okay, she's pregnant, almost two months old."
Zheng Shuyue was delighted, "Really? That's great!"
Although she didn't say it, she was actually worried for Shangguan Ruoli. She only got married one month earlier than Shangguan Ruoli, and they all had children, but Shangguan Ruoli had no news.
There are three types of unfilial piety: having no offspring is the greatest; having children can only stabilize one's status.
Even if someone forces King Xuan to take concubines in the future, the flaw of having no concubines cannot be used as an excuse.
Bai Qingqing smiled slightly and said: "Princess, thank you! No, we don't want the property anymore, you don't have to be embarrassed."
Zheng Shuyue smiled coldly and said: "These people are just heartless. If they have legitimate children, they can only get the inheritance to make ends meet. Now the property of Dingguo Palace is divided equally between them. Spitting out some is like cutting meat! You don't have to worry about it.
, since we are the flesh and blood of Duke Dingguo, I must at least have a share of you, otherwise you will make people look down upon me and make people laugh at me, Duke Dingguo."
Bai Qingqing thought about it and scratched her head, "Thank you so much, Princess."
After Shangguan Ruoli finished vomiting, he came out holding Rejoice's hand and said: "How about you and Wang Feng get engaged first, with Prince Xuan's Mansion supporting you from behind, and they will have to restrain themselves in order to cling to Prince Xuan's Mansion. Wait until you recognize your ancestor and return to the clan.
Now that you have an identity, it will be more honorable to get married."
"Engagement? I...I haven't thought about it yet." Bai Qingqing's eyes flickered a little, and she held her clothes tightly with her hands.
Zheng Shuyue saw that Shangguan Ruoli looked unhappy and asked, "How does the princess feel? Why is morning sickness so severe?"
Shangguan Ruoli sat on the chair, caressed his lower abdomen, and said with a helpless smile: "This little thing is careless."
Zheng Shuyue said: "Call the food outside and you can eat outside. You haven't passed three months yet, so it's not appropriate to let outsiders know."
If there is news that Princess Xuan is pregnant, those who are afraid of King Xuan may be unable to sit still, especially the Emperor.
Shangguan Ruoli nodded, "That's fine."
Zheng Shuyue ordered the people below to bring food, which should be suitable for pregnant women.
The people below are all closely attentive to her, so they naturally know the taboos of pregnant women.
Then, Zheng Shuyue looked at Bai Qingqing and asked, "I heard that you are all sleeping together, why are you still thinking about it?"
"I...I just don't want to get married. It's actually good to live like this." Bai Qingqing's face turned pale.
Zheng Shuyue said calmly: "What does Wang Feng think of this matter? It's unfair for you to do this to Wang Feng." This chapter has been completed!
