Chapter 173 Mother-in-law
Mingxuan lived a very happy life raising her baby, and no one said anything bad in front of Mingxuan.
Even when Suo'etu Fujin entered the palace, his mouth was full of congratulations. Yinfeng even found the seriously ill Wuku Mafa, and after caring for him, he thoughtfully sent Zhao Jia in.
"Er Niang?" Mingxuan was full of joy when she was eating the peeled garlic prawns in her small pot, when she saw a familiar figure suddenly appear in Yongshou Palace, she was startled, and all the prawns in the pot poured out Not a lot.
Seeing that she was about to get up, Zhao Jia rushed over to hold her down and said, "Don't move, don't move, don't panic... Take a breath before speaking."
After Ming Xuan took two deep breaths, she looked at Zhao Jia and said, "Why did you come in?"
"It was the prince who went to the house and asked the master to give him a slave... I entered the palace." Since Zhao Jia's daughter entered the palace, she would only bring her in occasionally when someone from the family came to the palace to pay her respects. When I came in, I was a little flustered.But when she saw the prince later, she didn't panic about anything.
Mingxuan paused, then nodded deeply and said, "Why didn't Baocheng come in with you?"
"The prince sent me to the gate of Yongshou Palace, said something to do, and left." Zhao Jia thought about the handsome prince who had been gentle to himself all the way and asked his daughter's preferences, and said softly, "Prince, can you?" What a nice boy."
"That's natural. I just want to have a child who looks like Baocheng." Mingxuan pointed to the surrounding wall and said proudly, "Every day when I open my eyes and raise my head, I can see Baocheng. Mom, you don't even know how happy I am."
Zhao Jia originally wanted to say that he should not be so rude to the prince, but he thought of what the prince said to him on the way.
"What my aunt misses is the company of her mother-in-law."
Zhao Jia endured the pain in her heart, and gently touched her daughter's face.
Ever since she entered the palace, she never expected to be so close to her. Even though she knew that the girl was still her own girl, there was a difference in status. She didn't want her child to be gossiped by others because of her occasional neglect.
But what the prince said made her unable to bear the courage.
I used to worry that my daughter would be gossiped because of her background. Over the years, she didn't understand that her daughter has been protecting herself in her own way.She never forced herself to enter the palace, but she was also afraid that she would bow her head and bend everywhere when entering the palace.
Ming Xuan rubbed her face against Er Niang's hand, and said with a smile, "E Niang, I miss you!"
"The skin is so smooth and tender, she should be a beautiful little princess." Zhao Jia looked carefully at her daughter's complexion, her complexion was rosy, her skin was fair and smooth, and it was not difficult to pinch her tender face with more force, then she said with a smile.
Ming Xuan tilted her head and said in confusion: "There is still such a saying? Didn't you say that it's elder brother who likes to eat sour?"
"When I was pregnant with you, I liked to eat fruits, especially sour ones. The complexion is very good. Every time I go to greet Fujin, I have to put on makeup to cover it up." Zhao Jia looked at her daughter with a smile, touched her face, When I touched my hands, they were all warm, so I was completely relieved.
Ming Xuan put her arms around Er Niang's waist, buried her face in her arms, and let the clothes stained by the juice on her just now stain her body, because she really missed Er Niang's embrace so much.
Zhao Jia hugged her daughter, raised her head, and patted her on the back gently, tears fell down, but said with a smile: "I'm going to be a mother-in-law, and she loves to act like a baby."
Ming Xuan snuggled into Eriang's arms and smirked.
When Mingxuan wasn't paying attention, Zhao Jia looked at the various steaming food on the table and asked, "Are you still eating?"
"Eat!" Ming Xuan nodded quickly and replied, "Emiang eat with me!"
After the palace servants quickly changed the clothes for the two of them and sat back down again, Zhao Jia watched as the palace servants took good care of Mingxuan, shelling the shrimp, poking the fish...while her daughter greeted her with a smile on her face. Eat and eat by yourself.
Knowing that she would be able to be with Erniang when she was pregnant, Mingxuan felt that she should have gotten pregnant earlier.
Zhao Jia's hands are very dexterous, and Erniu and the two can talk together very well. When Mingxuan is walking and exercising, she picks out the softest cloth and sews her daughter's underwear, shoes and socks. .
"Emiang sewed better socks than I sewed. Later, I sewed a few more pairs for the prince. They said that pregnancy is not easy to use needlework. So I asked Ernian to help." Mingxuan turned outside and came back, looking at Zhao Jia again. Making clothes for himself, he raised his eyebrows and said unceremoniously.
Ever since he gave Yinreng socks in the first year, the child lost his temper and refused to wear the ones made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Sewing socks and knitting socks has become Mingxuan's specialty.
Zhao Jia was stunned for a moment, then responded with a smile, the smile on his face became more and more unstoppable.
"Auntie, I have enough socks. I haven't finished wearing the ones you made for me before!" When Yinreng brought Yinzhen to see Mingxuan, Mingxuan stuffed him with a stack of socks, and Yinreng hurriedly Said: "Don't touch the needle and thread now."
"Where did I sew it?" Mingxuan pointed to another stack of smaller ones and said to Yinzhen, "Xiao Si, you also keep it."
"My mother-in-law sewed it for me. I asked her to sew it for you. Take it! The craftsmanship is much better than mine, and it's very comfortable to wear." Ming Xuan pointed at her feet proudly and smiled. .
Only then did Yinfeng stuff the socks into his bosom, and said with a smile: "Then I must thank the old lady."
Yinzhen also put away his socks obediently, and asked Chunni Mingxuan about her diet and daily life with concern.
"Why didn't I hear Doctor Sun say that last time?" Yinzhen frowned suddenly after listening to Chunni's report of Mingxuan's daily life.
Ming Xuan shrunk her neck, yawned and said, "I'm sleepy, you can do what you want!"
If I had known today, I wouldn't have made Xiao Si a strong man. How could this child have such a good memory?
Zhao Jia lived in the palace for more than a month, Mingxuan let her go back, and getting along with Er Niang felt very good, sometimes waking up in her arms at night would feel extremely happy, but...
After all, there is a primary school in Yongshou Palace, and Kangxi would occasionally come over to sit. Mingxuan really didn't want her mother-in-law to bow her head and talk to others in front of her.
But because Mrs. Zhao Jia was worried, she also made an agreement with Ming Xuan that after the new year, she would give birth soon and wanted to enter the palace, so Ming Xuan agreed.
At the beginning of October, Galdan was defeated and fled because there was not enough food and grass in the army. After Fuquan made a judgment, he decided to withdraw his troops on his own initiative, and Kangxi cursed angrily in the palace.
He has prepared all the food and grass, and has even been escorted halfway. Now withdraw the troops?Doesn't he know about the shortage of food and grass?
"Where is Prince Yu as powerful as the emperor?" Ming Xuan, with a four-month-old stomach, looked at Kangxi coming to her angrily, her face was all black, and she gnawed on a pomegranate and said, "Use your clever mind to think that you can annihilate that man in one fell swoop." What an asshole is a good time, but can Prince Yu have your wisdom? Obviously not."
Kangxi felt a little calmer when he heard the words, thinking about it, the second brother is indeed a bit stubborn and pedantic.
Seeing that Mingxuan was still holding a large glass bowl full of peeled pomegranates, she asked with concern, "Do you still want to eat it every day?"
Ming Xuan nodded and said, "I paid the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give me the whole small glass house and put it in the backyard. Then there will be green vegetables to eat in winter, so your little princess won't be hungry."
Originally, she didn't intend to make a warm room, because Mingxuan really had no shortage of food. After all, she was still a woman with a golden finger. Even if life was good, the golden finger was a little useless, but this in her stomach was really like a snack.
Besides, Mingxuan saw that the prince seemed to have something on his mind this year, and she didn't know how to care for him, so she decided to continue feeding.
"Is this okay?" Kangxi was a little skeptical about the idea of growing vegetables in a glass house.
Mingxuan rubbed her stomach and said, "If you can't do it, you have to do it! You can't be wronged with this in your stomach? It's hard to come to this world, if you don't even have to eat the easy-to-eat food, how pitiful it is?" Apart from vegetables, they also grow vegetables. Strawberries, it must be very refreshing to eat strawberries with rock sugar in winter.
"Since it's for the little princess, I will pay for the money!" Kangxi nodded after hearing her say that.
Before that, Suo'etu worked tirelessly for Yinfeng, saying what if the imperial concubine had a little elder brother?As a result, Yinfeng went directly to pick up the imperial concubine's biological mother into the palace, and then blocked Suo'etu's mouth.
Now that the imperial physician Xiao Sun has diagnosed that this is a little princess, Kangxi is also inexplicably relieved.
The emperor built a glass greenhouse for the imperial concubine in the back garden of Yongshou Palace, and even burned charcoal in it... Such a luxury made the concubines in the palace feel somewhat melancholy.
When the rain and snow came, the strawberries in the greenhouse were just ripe, and Mingxuan immediately picked them for Yinrong and sent them to her.
"Why did you plant this?" Yinfeng looked at a small plate of seven or eight reddish strawberries and asked with a smile.
Xiao Shunzi said respectfully from the side: "Because you like it, my lord! When I sent people to transplant the seedlings, I specifically said that you don't like many fruits, and there are not many fruits you can eat in winter."
Yinreng took a hand holding the strawberry and put it in his mouth, feeling that it was extremely delicious and extremely sweet.
"Your Majesty asked the servant to ask you if it's delicious?" Xiao Shunzi said nervously, swallowing his saliva.
Yinfeng nodded and said with a smile, "Delicious!"
"And this! Your Majesty told you to send someone to Fucha's house. It's not easy to let go." Xiao Shunzi waited for Yinfeng to finish speaking, then bent down and brought up a food box. When he opened it, there was another plate inside... …not only that the discs are bigger than my own, but all the strawberries are bigger and redder than my own just now.
Just looking at it, Yinfeng is very angry!
"The imperial concubine said that this is the only way she can help you." Xiao Shunzi lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.
Yinfeng opened his mouth and said after a while: "Since your empress ordered, what are you still doing here?"
Xiao Shunzi quickly covered the food box, affixed a seal, and then personally asked for the badge for leaving the palace. Those who didn't dare to stay any longer got on the carriage going out of the palace, braved the rain and snow, and ran to the scholar's mansion.
"Is there still this in winter?" Fucha Wanyan looked at the plate of fresh red strawberries and asked with a blushing face.
Xiao Shunzi held the ginger soup sent by Fucha Gege in his hand, and recalled the words of the imperial concubine.
Replied: "Going back to Gege, the emperor built a glass greenhouse for the imperial concubine in Yongshou Palace. The empress thought that the prince likes strawberries, so she planted some. Today is the first crop, not many, and it is just such a small plate , the master ate one and thought it tasted good, so I asked the servant to give it to you to try it out."
There was only a small plate...but it was still a full plate in my hand... Fucha Wanyan's face became even redder.
