The name of the young master of the Prince of Jin's Mansion was chosen by Jiang Changning from the ten names given by the Prince of Jin: Helian Yuming.
"Yu" means to surpass or exceed.
Ming means wise and virtuous.
These two words come from "Seven Admonitions: Sinking into the River": "Shuqi became more and more wise as time went by."
The word has a good meaning and beautiful pronunciation. Jiang Changning thinks it is a good name for his son.
She also decided on a nickname for her son, "Xiao Ming."
The Concubine Dowager and Prince Jin had no objection and just watched her laughing foolishly there.
Prince Jin did not intend to hide the news that Jiang Changning had successfully given birth to a son, and the next day, everyone who should know knew about it.
Song Yirou was furious when she heard this, "How did she give birth? Which two midwives did you hire?"
"The Prince of Jin's Mansion doesn't have a midwife." The maid replied.
Song Yirou was stunned, "No midwife? Then who delivered her baby?"
The maid said, "I heard that the Jin Palace has already hired a nurse who used to be a female doctor to serve the Jin Princess."
"What?" Song Yirou was shocked. She never expected that she spent so much money to bribe the midwife, but it was in vain.
Zhao Xifang felt mixed emotions after hearing the news for a long time before she said quietly, "She is really lucky."
In the palace, the Queen Mother also knew about it. She smashed the teacup in her hand in anger, with a vicious cold light in her eyes, "My son is dead, and your son can't live either!"
She was sure that her son was killed by Prince Jin, but she had no evidence. Besides, Prince Jin was very powerful, so she could only keep it to herself. But now she couldn't bear it anymore.
Kill King Jin’s son and avenge him!
"Someone come here." The Queen Mother raised her voice.
Gao Yanyun came in and said, "Madam, I am here."
"Go and call Xiaodouzi for me." said the Queen Mother.
"Yes." Gao Yanyun stepped out and called for help.
Xiaodouzi's surname was Dou. He was the chief eunuch of Fushou Palace. Only the Empress Dowager called him Xiaodouzi, while everyone else respectfully called him Eunuch Dou.
Soon, Xiao Douzi arrived. The Queen Mother asked Gao Yanyun to go to the door and said directly, "Prince Jin has a new son. Find a way to smother that kid to death."
In Fushou Palace, the Queen Mother spoke without any worries.
Xiao Douzi showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, "Madam, there are no more spies from us in Prince Jin's Mansion."
Since Jiang Changning took over as housekeeper, Prince Jin's Mansion has been cleaned up several times.
The Prince Jin's Mansion today is not like an iron barrel, but it is definitely not like the one during the time of Housekeeper Qiao, which was like a sieve.
"Money can move people's hearts." The Queen Mother didn't believe that she couldn't bribe the people who did the work. "Children are prone to dying."
Xiao Douzi understood and could not shirk this matter. "I will do it right away."
Jiang Changning had no idea that the Queen Mother was going to take action against her precious son. She was secretly breastfeeding her son.
The Concubine Dowager and Prince Jin were not in the house, so she insisted on feeding her son herself. Nanny Feng wanted to stop her but was unable to.
Xiao Ming, weighing more than six kilograms, is a strong eater. He emptied two food bags and was still crying because he was not full yet.
"Princess, let the wet nurse feed him a few mouthfuls." Nanny Feng suggested.
"Okay." Jiang Changning was also helpless. She wanted to feed the baby, but she didn't have enough milk and was powerless.
Half a month ago, Jiang Changning had already selected three wet nurses.
The three wet nurses were all dressed neatly. They came in and greeted Jiang Changning first, then picked up Xiao Ming and fed him.
The little guy, who had just been eating voraciously in his mother's arms, with his face flushed and sweating, now stopped eating and just howled with his eyes closed.
The howling made Madam Feng feel distressed, "Change one, change one."
Aunt Feng was afraid that he would squirt out the milk he had drunk, so she quickly said, "Change it."
After changing it again, the situation remained the same. Aunt Feng was so anxious that she kept rubbing her hands, "What should I do? What should I do?"
"Give it to me." Jiang Changning reached out and took his son back, patting him gently, "Don't cry, son."
The little guy smelled a familiar scent and stopped howling. He nudged himself into her arms, looking for his granary.
The granary was still empty. Jiang Changning thought for a moment and said, "You guys squeeze the milk into the bowl and I'll feed her."
The wet nurses squeezed the milk into a bowl and Jiang Changning fed him with a small spoon. The little guy actually ate peacefully. He looked so well behaved that Jiang Changning couldn't help but lean over and kiss his little face.
"Princess, let me feed him." Xiulan volunteered.
"Okay, I'll let you feed him." Jiang Changning handed his son to her.
When someone else was feeding it, the little guy became unhappy and started howling with his eyes closed again.
"Okay, okay, give this annoying guy to me." Little Jiang Changning took it again.
As soon as he was in her arms, the little guy hummed twice, stopped howling, and snuggled into her arms, being very well-behaved.
"The little prince is so smart. He can recognize his mother at such a young age." Nanny Feng's filter for the little guy is eight hundred meters thick.
Jiang Changning chuckled twice, feeling lucky that this kid only sticks to his mother when he is hungry, otherwise, she would definitely become a strict mother.
When he is not hungry, Xiao Ming is a very good-tempered child. He doesn't make any noise and doesn't mind being held by anyone.
Of course, he is still a baby now, and no one dares to carry him out, and he spends two-thirds of the day sleeping.
Due to the national mourning period, the third-day bathing banquet could not be held, but the Zhou family sisters-in-law still came.
Jiang Changning asked casually, "How is the investigation going on with Third Brother?"
"There are some clues." Miao didn't know much and didn't elaborate.
"The case can be investigated slowly. What's worrying now is that Miss Zheng keeps pestering my third brother every day." Luo frowned.
Miao tugged at the corner of Luo's clothes, not wanting Jiang Changning to be troubled by this matter during her confinement.
Luo understood and quickly changed the subject, "Third brother said he can handle it, so we don't have to worry."
"Third brother, you still have to be careful and beware of the Zheng family using extraordinary means." Jiang Changning reminded the two.
"When we get back, I'll tell him not to be so careless," Miao continued.
After the third-day-washing banquet, the two sisters-in-law left.
Jiang Changning was raising his son comfortably in his mansion. Xiao Douzi was outside the mansion, sighing at the sight of Prince Jin's mansion.
His attempts to bribe people were not going well, very poorly.
The young master of Prince Jin's Mansion has three wet nurses, who are the people closest to him. However, the three wet nurses' entire families are raised in the mansion and no one can see them. How can he bribe them
That day, he left the palace again and sneaked to the vicinity of Prince Jin's Mansion, staring at the west corner gate of the Mansion, looking for a suitable person to bribe.
He watched for a while before he saw another middle-aged man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks coming. He timidly went to the gatekeeper at the west corner gate and said, "Brother, please help me find my daughter Chunhong. She works in the sewing room of the mansion."
As he said this, he stuffed a few copper coins into the man's pocket.
Menzi looked at the copper coin and smiled, "Wait over there, I'll have someone help you find your daughter."
"Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother." The middle-aged man walked to the corner and squatted.
Xiaodouzi touched the fake beard on his chin. This person might be able to take advantage of it.
