Seeing Yaoniang looking at her, the woman looked over.
Yaoniang didn't dare to look too much, she hurriedly lowered her head.
At this time, Princess Jin had already taken the lead and stepped forward, leading the three of them to bow down.
"The courtiers and concubines are waiting to meet the queen empress, and the empress is blessed and safe."
Yao Niang was taught these rules before they came, and she followed them one by one.
"Get up."
A court lady stepped forward to help Princess Jin, Empress Wei smiled kindly and beckoned to Princess Jin: "Come to Ben Gong, I seem to have relieved a lot after seeing you."
"Yeah, the concubine saw it too, why are you so thin, fifth brother?" Concubine Yong said.
How did you get so thin
Along with these words, the same voice echoed in Princess Jin's mind. It's just that the voice back then was a little more hearty and less lazy than it is now.
She suddenly looked at the woman in front of her who was already a woman and mother, looked at her picturesque eyebrows, and looked almost greedily. Until Empress Wei called her again, "It's from Jin Wang's family, but what's wrong with Yong Wang's?" Immediately, Empress Wei suddenly smiled: "That's right, I forgot that you two handed handkerchiefs when you were in your boudoir."
Concubine Jin hurriedly came back to her senses, and said: "The concubine has lost her manners. The concubine is not healthy, and she just fell ill before entering Beijing, which made the empress mother and the fourth sister-in-law worry."
Yes, she is her sister-in-law, and she is her younger brother and sister, it is no longer what it used to be.
Concubine Jin slowly let out a breath, restrained the messy thoughts in her mind, and said to Concubine Yong with a smile: "Sister-in-law Si Huang, I haven't seen you for many years, and my style has not diminished."
There was a strange light in Princess Yong's eyes, and she smiled casually: "The fifth sibling praised you."
"Okay, I know you two have a good relationship, so you can't forget us, right?" Princess An smiled and smiled at the few sisters-in-law sitting next to her.
Concubine Jin looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly saluted: "I have seen you sisters-in-law."
Concubine An, Concubine Dai and Concubine Crown Prince all laughed, while Concubine Lu, Concubine Qing, and Concubine Wu, who were lower in rank than Concubine Jin, also stood up one after another, saluting Concubine Jin, the sister-in-law.
As for the side concubine like Xu side concubine, whoever her own princess salutes to, she just follows behind. Anyway, no one pays attention to it, it's just a foil.
After the ceremony, Yaoniang found that this was her youngest, a concubine, and no matter how bad the others were, she was also a side concubine. Even shrank back, hoping that everyone would not find him.
But how is it possible
Firstly, she was the only one with a big belly in this palace; secondly, everyone had heard before arriving that King Jin, who had always been pure-hearted and sensual, finally had an heir, who was born to one of his concubines, and Now that concubine is pregnant again.
The name of King Jin's coldness is well-known in the capital.
All the vassal kings would be ordered to go to the capital every one or half a year, and every time they gathered in the capital, King Jin would be mentioned again and again about having no heirs. This year finally broke the record, but it is not surprising.
As soon as this room was over, everyone turned their attention to Yaoniang.
Empress Wei was the first to speak: "From the Prince Jin's family, is this the Prince Jin's concubine?"
Concubine Jin nodded and said, "It's exactly what the Queen Mother said. This girl's surname is Su."
Empress Wei nodded and waved to Yaoniang: "Come over to this palace to have a look."
So Yao Niang passed by.
Empress Wei was very amiable, and when she saw her approaching, she took her hand and asked some questions.
For example how old is it? How many months have you been pregnant? How are you? Do you like sweet food, or do you like spicy food
Yao Niang was still a little nervous at first, but when she heard Queen Wei's question, she suddenly became less nervous.
She originally thought that the empress empress is the mother of the world and is aloof, but who would have thought that she would be no different from that elderly woman. Whenever someone is pregnant, those older women will follow this routine, and Yaoniang will answer one by one as usual.
Empress Wei smiled and said to everyone: "He is honest and responsible."
Everyone just laughed and said nothing, they all knew that Empress Wei was talking about the scene, just because she was able to seduce King Jin and conceived two children in a row, she was not an honest person, didn't see the other two side faces of King Jin's mansion nearby. The concubine's face is not very good.
Although they are not from the same family, all the hostesses present here are from one family, and there will be some nonsense in any family. You say it's not worth mentioning, it's really like that cat and dog. But if it's really not worth mentioning, this cat and dog will enter the house and come to compete with the master for a job.
Look at this one in front of you, fortunately the fifth daughter-in-law could bear it and brought it out herself!
"It's not very convenient for you to have a full stomach. Come, show Madam Su a seat."
After Empress Wei finished speaking, a court lady brought up a cotton pier and placed it a little lower beside Princess Jin.
For a while, several side concubines in other houses, even Xu side concubine Liu side concubine cast admiring eyes on Yaoniang.
In this hall, apart from Empress Wei, only a few concubines had seats, and everyone else was standing.
Yaoniang also knew that she was a little too much in the limelight, but even if the queen offered the seat, she naturally did not refuse. He hurriedly thanked Empress Wei with sincerity, and then sat down next to Princess Jin with bowed head.
These are complicated to say, but in fact, they only happen in a moment. From Yaoniang's words and deeds after she came in, everyone also came to an evaluation of being unworthy and petty.
After that, it was a matter of gossip. Empress Wei asked about some trivial matters in each mansion, and all the concubines answered respectfully.
When asked about Prince Jin's mansion, many people looked at Princess Jin with interesting eyes. The eyes are all smiling and kind, but it is because of this that it is particularly embarrassing.
"I heard people say that the Prince Jin's mansion has a concubine's eldest son, but the child was not brought into the palace today?"
"After returning to mother, Xiaobao was taken to Qianqing Palace by His Highness."
At the same time, King Jin was carrying Xiaobao to Qianqing Palace.
Fucheng wanted to take it over, but Xiaobao hugged King Jin tightly and refused to let him go, so there was a strange scene in the palace today——
King Jin, who was as cold as an iceberg, held a small baby in his arms, and he was unwilling to let go even after entering the palace. It didn't take long for this news to spread throughout the palace, and everyone said that King Jin had a son.
When King Jin arrived at Qianqing Palace, the Crown Prince, King Dai, King An, and King Yong were all there, and even the younger Kings Lu and Qing were also there.
Jin Wangfu, who was summoned, attracted everyone's attention as soon as he stepped through the door.
King Yong was about the same age as King Jin. He had a gentle appearance, with a pair of red phoenix eyes that are the signature of a man from the Zhao family, and he was full of elegance and calmness.
"Fifth brother is also true. This king knows that you think about your son day and night. It's hard to get one. It's like a treasure. But it's a bit humiliating for a dignified prince to enter the palace and hold a baby in his arms." You are so dignified." King Yong's tone was flat and affectionate, it seemed like the older brother blamed the younger brother, but in reality, both of them knew exactly what it was.
King Yong always persevered in stumbling King Jin, and the relationship between the two was not very harmonious since they were still in Beijing.
In fact, it's not just disharmony, it should be the mortal enemy. It's just that in front of Emperor Hongjing, he couldn't behave like this.
The King of Jin ignored him and glanced at Xiaobao, and then Xiaobao let go. The King of Jin put him on the ground before saluting to Emperor Hongjing who was behind the case.
"My son pays homage to Father Emperor."
Emperor Hongjing nodded and raised his hand, and King Jin stood up.
"Fourth, don't bury the fifth. You have to be considerate of his fatherly heart. After all, it's the first time you become a father. If you let him be a few more times, he will probably be able to behave normally." The second person who spoke Prince An, in his thirties, has a solid build, a square face, and long and narrow eyes. At first glance, he is the most inconspicuous of the brothers, but no one dares to ignore him.
King An is the most scheming among the brothers, and the one who likes to stir up troubled waters the most. It is not uncommon for him to be tricked by him inadvertently.
"Fifth brother!" King Qing looked at King Jin with some excitement. He is now in his twenties, and he has been a feudal domain for a few years since he was entrusted. When he was in Beijing, he had a very close relationship with King Jin, and now the brothers have not seen each other for more than a year. "Fifth brother, is this your son? How old is he? Look, he's not short, he really looks like you."
Compared with other people, King Jin's attitude towards King Qing is obviously gentler: "Just over a year old and a month old."
"Hey, one year old is such a big man, and he can still stand so firmly. Fifth brother, you can't lie to my brother, right? It's not that my brother has never been a father. My brother Hong was hugged by a nanny when he was one year old. It’s on. Can the little guy talk, come and call him Uncle Huang.”
The others were fine, Xiao Bao knew King Qing very well.
And today, he didn't intend to hide it, so naturally he didn't hesitate to show off. Immediately, he yelled "Uncle" crisply.
He didn't dare to call Emperor Uncle, but he also surprised King Qing. He hugged King Jin, Prince An, etc., and said to Emperor Hongjing, "This little guy is really smart. I'm calling you uncle."
Only King Jin's expression was a bit unsightly, and Xiaobao hadn't called him daddy yet.
Emperor Hongjing was a little surprised, and his grandson was not without it. The eldest grandson is now married. But he has never seen a baby boy who can make people so early, and he didn't just follow the babble unconsciously. He had never seen Lao Qi before, and it was rare for him to be able to call out so clearly when Lao Qi asked for it.
Originally, I just planned to take a look, as long as it was confirmed that he was the heir of the Zhao family, this title would naturally be given. But now Emperor Hongjing is a little more interested. This kind of interest is extremely rare for him today. Emperor Hongjing is getting old, and government affairs are still cumbersome day by day. Sun taught him how to read and write.
Every year, sons would come to see him with their grandsons, granddaughters, and even great-grandsons and granddaughters in their arms. At most, Emperor Hongjing just went through the motions, rewarding what should be rewarded, what should be bestowed, but no more. So many grandchildren, he couldn't even tell their names. But today he wants to take a look at this kid again, to see if he is really unexpected.
"Lao Qi, bring the child to me to have a look."
Emperor Hongjing's voice made everyone look sideways at him. King Qing obeyed the oracle and planned to hug Xiaobao, but Xiaobao pushed him to attract his attention. King Qing looked down at the little baby in his arms, still a little puzzled, but King Jin said beside him, "He wants to go to the ground."
Although King Jin didn't say it, he understood Xiaobao's gestures and language better than people imagined. That's why he walked all the way holding Xiaobao just now, because Xiaobao wanted him to hold him, and he also wanted to hold Xiaobao.
King Qing hesitated to put Xiaobao down, probably because he had never done such a thing before, and he was a little clumsy.
As soon as Xiaobao touched the ground, he pushed King Qing's arm to let him go, and then walked towards Emperor Hongjing with small steps. He walked very steadily, step by step. He was dressed very festively today. He was wearing a bright red thin jacket and trousers. He only embroidered the pattern of five bats offering birthday on his chest. I got a little peach.
Pink and tender, white and fat, just like a boy holding a carp from a New Year painting.
Emperor Hongjing raised the corners of his lips unconsciously, and looked down at the little boy walking up to him with small steps. Walking all the way to his leg, he boldly reached out and tugged at his dragon robe, and then stretched out his chubby hand.
This is to hug it.
"This little thing is so courageous, he actually wants me to hug him."
Emperor Hongjing said that with a smile on his face, and the others could only laugh along with him. As for what everyone thinks in their hearts, I don't know.
Emperor Hongjing picked up Xiaobao, put him on his lap and made him sit.
Xiaobao stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to grab Emperor Hongjing's beard, but he withdrew his hand for some reason, and instead pulled a five-clawed coiled dragon jade buckle on the lapel of his clothes. Lost. Li De'an, the chief eunuch at the side, wanted to come forward and say something nice to make the little ancestor let go, but was waved back by Emperor Hongjing.
"What's your name?"
"Bao'er, mother's Bao'er." Xiao Bao's voice was childish, as if she was a little stumbling because she said three words at once for the first time.
At the same time, King Jin's voice sounded: "If you go back to the father, the child does not have a proper name, only a nickname, called Xiaobao."
Emperor Hongjing didn't pay attention to King Jin, instead he lowered his head and talked to Xiaobao: "The name mother chose is Bao'er?"
"No, little, little treasure."
Xiao Bao said, still tugging at the jade buckle, "Master, I want it!"
"Oh, I already know it's called the Emperor's Grandpa." Emperor Hongjing laughed, "Okay, I'll give it to you just because of you. Let's go, I'll take you in and let the servants take it for you, okay?"
Xiaobao immediately hugged Emperor Hongjing's neck and didn't let go.
Seeing the figure of Emperor Hongjing holding the child himself and disappearing behind the curtain, everyone present had different complexions, but it could be seen that there was something wrong with it. Only King Qing was very happy for King Jin: "Fifth brother, your son is amazing, really amazing."
Except that it was terrible, for a while, King Qing didn't know how to describe it.
Jin Wang also felt that Xiaobao was terrible, very terrible, he thought he could only speak one word, so he couldn't call him father, so he didn't force the child.
Look now, not only can he be called uncle, he can also be called master, and he looks very sensible and knows how to ask for rewards. So the brat didn't call him on purpose, it must be.
