Huayan took Mrs. Jing Guogong back to the East Palace, and the night was getting dark.
Huayan was not tired or sleepy, so she pulled Mrs. Jingguo to talk, because Mrs. Jingguo stayed in the capital all the time, and the New Year banquet in the palace never ended every year. Let her talk about Yunchi's childhood.
Mrs. Jing Guo said as she recalled, but she didn't have much to say, after all, she didn't see Yun Chi several times a year. In my memory, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a child, he behaved in a mannered manner, distinguished and distinguished, and stood above all the other princes. Comparing the previous emperor and the emperor, the blue is better than the blue, and some courtiers all said that if His Royal Highness cultivated well, he might be the second great ancestor in the future.
Huayan smiled, she couldn't remember exactly what Taizu Yunshu looked like four hundred years later, but she thought, taking the current Yunchi as an example, he must be much better than Taizu, the Taizu back then The ancestor, dare not enter the Gu palace alone. After the establishment of the dynasty and ascended the throne, all kinds of wastes were waiting for prosperity, and the small countries in the southwestern border were not resolved, which made Nanchu suffer from the thorn in the throat of the small countries in the southwestern region for four hundred years.
Mrs. Jing Guogong also said that in the past twenty years, there were two times that she knew His Highness the Crown Prince the most. One was the sudden death of the Empress Empress, and the other was the death of Mrs. Wuwei Hou in the East Palace for no reason.
One was when the prince was five years old, that is, fifteen years ago, and the other was when the prince was fifteen years old, five years ago.
Although the five-year-old Crown Prince and the fifteen-year-old Crown Prince did not shed tears at the time, they both stayed awake for seven days without eating or drinking until they fainted and were carried back to the bedroom.
Sometimes, if you don't shed a tear, you are really hurt to the extreme.
At that time, she also privately said to Jing Guogong, "His Royal Highness is really a poor child."
Duke Jing also sighed, "His Royal Highness is cold-hearted by nature, and the only two people who made him feel warm in the face are gone. It will be really worrying in the future."
She said, "I hope that in the future he will marry the princess and have a caring person by his side, so that he won't suffer so much."
"It's difficult." Duke Jing sighed, "I don't think he cares too much about Miss Zhao's Mansion, even Miss Zhao's Mansion can't make him sad. Even if he marries the Crown Princess in the future, I'm afraid it's only for the needs of the country."
When Mrs. Jing Guogong said this, she saw Huayan leaning on the table, resting her chin in one hand, and playing with a string of sandalwood bracelets in the other. She laughed, "I really didn't expect that, we were all wrong, His Highness the Crown Prince? I really found a caring person for myself. Compared with before, my temperament has really changed more than a little bit. It can be seen that things in this world are never certain, "
The beautiful face was full of smiles, and the corners of the eyebrows and eyes were all smiling. She looked at Mrs. Jingguo and said softly, "It is my blessing to marry him."
"Whoever is blessed is destined by the heavens." Mrs. Jing Guo said with a smile, "His Royal Highness married you, maybe he thinks it is his blessing."
Huayan pursed her lips and smiled, "Mother-in-law, tell me about when you and father-in-law were young."
Mrs. Jing Guogong said "Oh" and said with a smile, "When we were young, the little girls were not willing to marry your adoptive father. He was very rough. I didn't like him at the time. Later, My father insisted on calling the shots, and I had no choice. Who told him to please my father? Unexpectedly, after I married him, I found out that he was a man with fine details, and the lintel of Jingguo's mansion was clean and upright. The courtyard is clean, and he is not the kind of person who is promiscuous, he does not take concubines, and he does not even have a common house. All these years, my little sisters envied me. I am still grateful to my father."
Hua Yan nodded with a smile, "Compared to my adoptive father back then, King Anyang was very popular, right?"
"Isn't it?" Mrs. Jingguo smiled from ear to ear when she thought of those years, "When King Anyang went out, the girls in the capital were all moved by the news. When he stays together, even though he looks the same in appearance, but he just disappears from the comparison, and the little girl doesn't want to see him."
"So, Princess Anyang also liked King Anyang back then," Hua Yan asked with a smile.
Mrs. Jingguo shook her head and sighed, "She really didn't like King Anyang back then, she liked a poor student, but she came from a good background, and her family didn't allow her to marry that poor student, and that poor student also had a fiancée , she has a good character, and naturally she will not destroy others. King Anyang likes her, so he came to ask for it in person. King Anyang is the eldest son who all the ladies in the capital want to marry, and there is no one in her family who does not agree. According to the matchmaker's words, she can't do anything, the two parties asked the emperor to order a marriage, and she got married. Back then, I was really envious of everyone."
"But a man looks good on the surface, it's useless." Although Hua Yan didn't know much about King Anyang and Princess Anyang, she knew a thing or two.
"Exactly." Mrs. Jingguo said, "Prince Anyang is gentle with others, not only to one or two people, but to everyone, especially to women. Although he does not take the initiative, he will not be called a womanizer. But he will not refuse any woman who comes to his door. Within a few years, a large group of women lived in the inner courtyard of King Anyang. What kind of temperament is the princess? I couldn't take it anymore, after I got An Shuli, I completely drew a line with King Anyang. It took more than ten years, until a few years ago, King Anyang realized his enlightenment and cleared up the women around him, and Princess Anyang gradually turned her head. But after so many years, it’s hard to get over it.”
"It's a blessing to be a foster mother." Hua Yan said.
"Fortune is destined by the heavens. I am also blind. Thanks to my father, I can see people accurately." Mrs. Jingguo smiled and waved her hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about him, as if I am boasting too much." Like him, if he knew about it, he would be happy for several years."
Huayan Dale said, "Then tell me about your brother's childhood."
Madam Jingguo knew that she couldn't sleep, so she patted her hand, and gently persuaded, "Your pregnant body, how can you stay up all night and toss like this, and you can't bear it. Even if you can't sleep, you have to lie down on the bed and sleep hard. Otherwise, His Royal Highness won’t be able to come back in a day and a half, maybe a month or two, maybe several months, if it goes on for a long time, it will be bad for the development of the fetus, for the sake of His Royal Highness, you have to endure it.”
Huayan knew it was late, and although she couldn't sleep, she listened to the persuasion and nodded, "Okay, mother-in-law, go to bed too. You sleep with me, we both sleep, and we will fall asleep first in the future. "
Mrs. Jing Guogong stood up with a smile, and said repeatedly, "Well, let's compare."
Huayan didn't ask Mrs. Jingguo to arrange another courtyard for Mrs. Jingguo, so she lived in the wing room in the East Wing of the Phoenix East Garden. Mrs. Jingguo just came in to stay close to Huayan. Naturally, she had no objection, and the maid led her there. asleep.
Huayan went back to the room, Mother Fang waited for Huayan to fall asleep, and whispered to her, "Crown Princess, please leave a lamp."
Huayan shook her head, "No need."
"The servant is resting on the couch. You have something to call the servant in the middle of the night." Mother Fang said.
Huayan waved her hand, "Mammy, go and rest, there is no need to keep watch."
Nanny Fang shook her head resolutely. She has always obeyed Huayan's orders in everything, but she refused to agree to this matter. She only said that she was a light sleeper and would never disturb the Crown Princess, but the Crown Princess was a month old. It would be very inconvenient to wake up at night, and someone must watch the night. Otherwise, if something happened, it would be useless for her to apologize with death.
It was the first time Huayan saw Nanny Fang being so stubborn, so she could only take a step back, and said softly, "I'm really not used to having waiters in the house, so, let's take a step back each, and you can stay here, but if something happens, I will I must call you."
Nanny Fang hesitated for a moment, nodded, and agreed.
Huayan originally thought that she would suffer from insomnia that night and would not be able to fall asleep at all, but she didn't expect to fall asleep not long after the pillow was stained and Yunchi's lingering clear breath could be smelled in the quilt.
She slept soundly all night, didn't wake up in the middle of the night, and fell asleep until the sun was rising.
Nanny Fang woke up twice during the night, looked at Huayan quietly, and felt relieved when she saw that she was fast asleep.
Mrs. Jing Guogong is similar to Huayan. When she changed places, she did not expect to fall asleep. When she woke up, it was just dawn, and she was idle. Thinking that Huayan loves her cakes, she went down to the Eastern Palace herself. kitchenette.
Everyone in the Eastern Palace respected Mrs. Jing Guo very much, and they helped her in an orderly manner, not daring to neglect her.
After all, apart from the status of Mrs. Jingguo Yipin, she is still the foster mother of the Crown Princess. Lin'an Hua's family is far away in Lin'an.
After Huayan woke up, she lay on the bed and calculated that Yunchi should have been out of the capital by at least three or four hundred miles. Although she was still a little uncomfortable, after a good night's sleep, she was much better.
She stretched long and got out of bed. Nanny Fang came in to help her get dressed. She asked Mrs. Jingguo and learned that she had gone to the kitchen early in the morning and hadn't come out yet, so she smiled and touched her stomach. , "The stepmother is in the East Palace, I think I'm going to start growing flesh."
Nanny Fang said with a smile, "Madam Guo loves to cook, and the cakes she makes are even worse than the chefs in the Eastern Palace."
Huayan nodded, thinking of something, the other mother ordered, "Go and send a message to An Zaifu, if he is free today, come over, I will discuss something with him."
Nanny Fang responded, "I'll tell people to go after a while."
