The news of Queen Xin's pregnancy diluted the Jiang family's unresolved grief, and also lifted the spirits of the Jiang family who had just finished the funeral ceremony and were exhausted. Except for the big house, Northern Xinjiang is now in the midst of military deployment. Since ancient times, Since then, the birth of a child into the royal family at this time has been regarded as a good omen, not to mention that the first wife is pregnant
Duke Guo of Qin immediately decided to rush 800 miles to spread the good news to the front line to boost morale!
Unfortunately, the Jiang family now wears filial piety inside and outside. They are afraid of offending the emperor's heirs and cannot visit the palace.
But Jiang Tianhe immediately sent his confidants to congratulate his daughter, and at the same time secretly inquired about the gender of the emperor's heir.
"Now that the days are light, the imperial doctor is not sure what to eat!" It can be seen that Queen Xin is in a very good mood now. She has swept away the depression of a few months ago. Her brows are filled with joy and satisfaction. She caressed her flat belly and pursed her lips with a smile. , "It doesn't matter if he is a boy or a girl, he is my biological child anyway, as long as he is strong and smart!"
The confidant smiled and said: "Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings. Such good news came out only half a year after her birth. The emperor's heir must be strong, smart, and as handsome and lovely as your Majesty and your Majesty!"
Queen Xin smiled reservedly: "Borrowing my aunt's good words!"
The confidant returned to the Xin Mansion and told Jiang Tianhe everything about the incident. Jiang Tianhe was a little anxious: "Still can't figure it out? Let's ask again in a few days... It would be great if he was the prince! This time the second uncle Send the news of Bing'er's pregnancy to the front line to boost morale. If Bing'er's baby is a boy, it will be a good time to take advantage of the battle in Northern Xinjiang and invite him to be crown prince as soon as he lands!"
When the time comes, as long as the child is raised well, it will be interesting to see how much effort the big house will have!
It was already the end of the year. Because of the death of the Marquis of Jibei, the Jiang family was full of people observing filial piety. In order to please the Jiang family, many officials also wore sackcloth and mourning for the Marquis of Jibei and avoided the banquet. Although the New Year's Eve banquet was as luxurious as before, it was The deserted situation made Empress Dowager Jiang feel very boring.
Fortunately, the emperor and empress were new parents and were in high spirits. They were quite active at the New Year's Eve banquet, which finally made the banquet not too ugly.
After the New Year, a circle of relatives walks down to celebrate the Lantern Festival.
At the end of the New Year, Mrs. Zhuang remembered her husband's instructions before he left, so she wrote a personal letter and called her confidants to come to her: "I have never seen my daughter since we parted twenty years ago. Now she and her son-in-law are here." Shazhou, it’s rare for me to stay in Beijing for a while. If she can leave, let her come back! Firstly, mother and daughter can be reunited, and secondly, it’s easier to talk about the son-in-law’s affairs with me here.”
Worried about Jiang Qizheng forcing her to travel for the reunion of mother and daughter, she also stressed, "My son's health is the most important thing in everything! Don't force it!"
Mrs. Zhuang was looking forward to the return of her daughter and son-in-law. Qiu Yilan saw that the weather was good and was taking the lead to bask in the sun in the courtyard.
With three babies and young children at your knees, it is impossible to concentrate on enjoying the sunshine.
At this moment, she was holding a bowl of custard in her hand. Jiang Jingkun, Jiang Jinglang, and Fu'er were sitting in a row on the soft couch that had been moved to the courtyard. Screens were set up on all sides to block the wind, and soft cushions were placed behind the children for support. They were wrapped in a small quilt to keep out the cold, and each of them stared at the light yellow egg custard, waiting for Qiu Yilan to take turns feeding them a small spoonful.
A spoonful was handed over, and the one being fed immediately happily took it into his mouth. A little slower, Jiang Jingkun and Fu'er, who were already able to talk, shouted anxiously: "Dai...dai! Qiedai!"
Jiang Jinglang, who couldn't speak, babbled and pounced on her - Qiu Yilan felt like she was surrounded by three chicks, chattering so loudly that she felt dizzy. She hurriedly fed this one and that one, laughing while feeding her: "Don't be in a hurry. Ah, there’s a lot of custard, eat slowly... eat slowly and don’t choke!”
In the midst of the excitement, a screen was moved slightly, Jiang Yashuang stepped in, and hurriedly blocked the air vent.
"Su Fu!" Jiang Jingkun, the eldest, had already memorized people and was taught by his wet nurse from time to time. When he saw him coming in, he shouted in a low voice, stretched out his short arms, kicked off the quilt, and stood up unsteadily. Get up and ask for a hug.
"Be careful of the cold!" Jiang Yashuang said with a smile, walked to the couch in three steps and two steps at a time, picked him up and Fu'er with each hand, weighed him skillfully, and said, "It's better than yesterday. It seems a little heavier!”
Jiang Jinglang, who was left alone without a hug, was not upset. He stared happily at the silver spoon in his mother's hand. Apparently he felt that the situation was better without his two brothers fighting for food.
Qiu Yilan scooped the egg custard for her son and said, "They are growing the fastest now. You can't tell if you look at them, but they look the same for a few days. This is most obvious when you dress them."
"Heartless Lang'er, why don't you even look at me when your father comes? Could it be that your biological father and I are not as good as the half-bowl of custard left in your mother's hand?" Jiang Yashuang hugged her nephew for a while, Worried that they would get cold, he put them back into the quilt and wrapped them in them, and then touched their little heads to comfort them. Qiu Yilan dug out the custard and raised it up, finally attracting their attention again.
Jiang Yashuang took the opportunity to hold her son in her arms and kissed his plump cheek: "Hey! He's a lot heavier too!"
He was full of love for his son, but Jiang Jinglang didn't appreciate it. When he saw that the delicious custard was gone, and instead he took a bite of tasteless clothes, he immediately flattened his mouth and was about to burst into tears!
"Hurry up and bring me a bowl of custard!" Jiang Yashuang had no choice but to call Su He.
It wasn't until Jiang Yashuang raised an extra bowl of custard stew in the kitchen to her face that Jiang Jinglang stopped crying with satisfaction, spitting bubbles and babbling for food.
"Be careful!" With her husband helping to coax her son, Qiu Yilan only had to take care of her two nephews, so she felt a little more relaxed. She took the time to look over at the father and son, and saw her husband holding his son on his lap and feeding him in his arms. Just a reminder.
Jiang Yashuang only said that his wife thought it was unsafe, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, Lang'er is only so heavy, you won't miss." He can dance with weapons weighing dozens of kilograms for an hour without losing breath, let alone now. A son who weighs less than twenty pounds
As a result, before I finished speaking, I suddenly felt a heat on my legs...
"I mean, he refused to put on a diaper just now..." Qiu Yilan was mid-sentence. Seeing her husband's speechless look, she couldn't help laughing, "Are he really just waiting for you to hold him?"
"You little heartless boy!" Jiang Yashuang shook her head, smiled and kissed her son on the forehead, handed the egg custard to Su He, and said to his wife, "I'll take him back to the house to clean up, and I'll change my clothes. "
Ever since he was fostered by Jiang Jingkun, he has always helped his wife. So far, his nephew and son have been tricked not once or twice. Although he was a little depressed at the moment, he calmly went back to the house and handed Jiang Jinglang to his mother to clean up, and went to take a bath himself. I washed the house and put on clean clothes. When I came out, Qiu Yilan had already returned to the house. The screens and soft couches in the courtyard had also been removed. When he saw this, he asked, "Where are the children?"
"The sun is almost done. Seeing that they are all tired, I asked the wet nurse to take them back to the house." Taking care of children is really a strenuous job. Qiu Yilan was in good health, so she accompanied the three children to bask in the sun and feed them custard. , at this moment, there were actually signs of back pain, and he asked Su He to hammer him slowly with a hammer.
Jiang Yashuang waved Su He down and took the beauty hammer to his wife's shoulder, saying, "Bicheng went to see me today."
"Is it because of the matter between Ah Xing and my brother?" Qiu Yilan asked.
"That's right!" Jiang Yashuang nodded and said, "The marriage between my sworn brother and cousin Zhuang will be in April. The two of them are in Beijing anyway, and their elders are also here. This is not the first time such a big event has happened. , there’s nothing to worry about.”
Qiu Yilan said thoughtfully: "Although there are no elders in my natal family who can help, Uncle Ruan is an old man who has followed my grandfather for many years. I dare not say that he is comprehensive about these people and sophistication, but he will not lose his dignity and embarrass the Ou family! "
"That's not what I'm talking about." Jiang Yashuang explained, "You also know the Ou family - as long as the elder brother treats Ah Xing sincerely and adds or subtracts a little from the false courtesy, they won't care. The main reason is that the war in Northern Xinjiang is going on, and the news from Uncle Jing's side The message came back and said that there seems to be something strange happening in Ximan. If so, my brother must not miss the opportunity to make a contribution, for fear of missing the wedding date! "
"That's it..." Qiu Yilan frowned, "It's hard to say this. After all, my brother is young. If he wants to convince the public, the easiest and quickest way is military merit... This matter is really difficult to handle!"
The couple discussed it for a while, but they were helpless about this force majeure accident. You can't let Qiu Jinglan leave everything and go back to Beijing just to get married on time, right? If they were willing, Qiu Jinglan was not such a person.
"Their wedding date is simply in August. It will really be delayed then, right?" In the end, I could only let it go.
Jiang Yashuang talked about the empress again: "Since the queen entered the palace, your majesty has stayed in the Beique Hall every night. The fourth aunt said that they are very affectionate - even if your majesty only does it to the fourth aunt, after getting along for a long time, there will be love." It’s really emotional.”
Qiu Yilan hummed: "The Queen has suffered enough grievances. It's time for her to live a good life for a few days!"
"If I can give birth to the eldest prince, I can save a lot of trouble." Jiang Yashuang said thoughtfully, "If it is a princess, and there is a prince in the future, the East Palace will give priority after all. However, if it is a princess this time, Huizhi will enter the palace next year. I'm afraid It’s about generating thoughts.”
"When she came up with the idea, she had to be pregnant, and she had to be the emperor's heir." Qiu Yilan said calmly, "Maybe the queen will be pregnant again by then?"
Jiang Yashuang said with a smile: "It would be great if that were the case!" She lowered her voice, "When my father left, he told us that if the big house is like this now, we shouldn't bother them anymore. If not for anything else, it's just that my grandfather is old. , If it is not an important matter, why bother to make the elders sad? Therefore, if the queen can win a man in one fell swoop, it would be best for her to be granted the title of Dong Palace! "
Qiu Yilan narrowed her eyes: "I understand - I won't instigate the queen to take the initiative to deal with Huizhi when she comes to the palace to pay her respects."
Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something, "When my father-in-law told Nineteenth, was he just telling him not to chase after Dafang? Is there any other purpose?"
For example, "When my mother's dowry was stolen for the previous eighth sister-in-law, she killed all the concubines who reached out to Jiang Yadan's backyard with a stick - does my father-in-law think that we instigated this?!"
So by telling the younger son to be merciful and merciful to the elder family - the reason is to make Qin Guogong feel better, but the actual intention is to beat him and his wife: "Don't be too overbearing, even meddling in my brother's backyard so arrogantly!"
"This is really unjust! What does this have to do with us as a couple?!" Qiu Yilan secretly vomited a mouthful of blood, "This is obviously your wife's own intention! You and your wife have been together for most of your life, and you still can't bear your wife's temper? Are you clear! Not to mention that Nineteen was not around at the time, could I, the daughter-in-law who had only met her mother-in-law for a few days, be able to persuade her? What a good person, An’er is young, and it’s not a good thing to ruin their mother and son!”
