[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

The fourth elder brother came home, Shuwan was happy, and the people below were also happy. Everyone happily prepared for the New Year.

This year Shuwan and the others moved out of the palace, and the way of celebrating the New Year has to be changed.

Everything in the palace is prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so Shuwan doesn't have to worry about it. When it's time to post couplets, it's time to post couplets, and when it's time to go to the banquet, it's time to go to the banquet.

It's different now, they've moved out.Because it was the first year of leaving the palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent over the things for the New Year, and Shuwan had to worry about other things.

When it was almost time for Laba, Shuwan ordered the kitchen to prepare soaked beans and cook Laba porridge.

On the day of Laba, the cook gets up early to cook porridge. The things in the porridge are more casual, and eight or sixteen things will do.

After cooking, everyone in the whole family ate Laba porridge.Prepare a few more copies to share with relatives and friends.

The Laba porridge sent out should be a little more particular. The cook in the house is very ingenious. He sprinkled the words "Fu", "Xi" and "Shou" on the porridge with snowflake white sugar, and sprinkled some black and red silk. It looks pretty good. good-looking.

Shuwan praised a few words, the cook was very happy to get the compliment, and wanted to make a bowl for Shuwan alone, but Shuwan quickly refused.

The words sprinkled with white sugar are easy to melt on the porridge, so the cook sprinkled it a lot. It is a sweetness that Shuwan can't bear, so let's send this sweetness to relatives!

Shuwan sent people to deliver the Laba porridge, and the Laba porridge given back by relatives was also delivered.

Some people use exquisite containers, some put many kinds of rice and dried fruits, and some people, like Shuwan's family, sprinkle auspicious words with sugar.Everyone was very troublesome, trying to cook the plain porridge in a fancy way.

Before eating porridge in the morning, the fourth elder brother offered the porridge to the Buddha.After eating the porridge, the fourth elder brother went out. Today there is Bingxi, so he has to go to see it.This is both play and training.

Laba porridge is also cooked in the palace, the emperor will distribute it to the prince, the clan and the ministers who value it, and the eunuchs will send the porridge, and Shuwan has to give a large reward.

In private, Shuwan complained to the fourth elder brother, "How can this be a reward? It's clearly blackmail. With that sum of money, how many rice can I buy!"

The fourth elder brother said that she was stingy, "It's just a tip of a few taels of silver, so don't be ashamed to give it! What we drink is not porridge, but Huang Ama's grace."

Shuwan said: "Grace is excellent, but it's not very tasty, it's not as good as the porridge I cook myself."

After Laba is over, around the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, Qin Tianjian will choose an auspicious day, the emperor will seal the pen, and the government will seal it. Everyone will have a holiday together, and in the first month, Qin Tianjian will select an auspicious day to resume work.

The fourth elder brother is fine now, staying at home with Shuwan every day.

Maybe it's the fragrance from far away and the smell from close by. In the past, the fourth elder brother was not at home, and Shuwan always wanted him to be with him. Now that he stays at home, Shuwan finds him annoying again.

Si elder brother Guan Shuwan is too strict, she is not allowed to go out to have a shower, she has to wear more clothes, not allowed this, not allowed that, even more annoying than Nanny Ning.

Shuwan couldn't take it anymore, she persuaded the fourth elder brother to go and play with Hutou.

"Hutou can't see you, how lonely! Go and play with Hutou! Make two more clothes for Hutou. Winter is coming, and Hutou is cold!"

The fourth elder brother was annoyed, "What? You think I'm annoying? Who am I all for? I'm all for your own good!"

"I know you're doing it for my own good, but you care too much! I'll get you fabric, I'll pay you money, and I'll find you an embroiderer. Please go and accompany Hutou!"

The fourth elder brother was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. When he went to play with Hutou, Shuwan was jealous. Now he doesn't want to be with Hutou, he just wants to be with her.

"You waited! You wait until after giving birth, and see how I deal with you!"

Shuwan sighed helplessly, her husband really held a grudge!

"Good brother, can you be considerate and considerate of me? I have a belly of about ten pounds, and I often can't breathe. The pregnant woman is hot, and my heart is dry! You can take care of me less, and I can feel more comfortable."

The fourth elder brother pinched her face, "Hmph! It's really hard to serve!"

After speaking, he went out, and actually went to the front yard to design clothes for Hutou.

After the fourth elder brother left, Shuwan's ears became much cleaner.She walked around the room with her waist supported, exercising.

She asked Nanny Ning, "Have you found the midwife for the delivery?"

Nanny Ning said: "I've found it, and I'll be brought into the mansion in two days."

"Is the delivery room ready?"

"It's ready, the Xikang has been dug up, and there are chopsticks in it, which means to give birth quickly. The quilts are all newly made, and the quilts and mattresses are made of fine cotton cloth, which has been boiled in boiling water in advance."

Shuwan nodded, "That's good."

Nurse Ning smiled and asked: "Fu Jin, you are too anxious, it's only eight months now, and there is still some time before delivery!"

Shuwan smiled and said: "I can't say for sure about having a baby. Sometimes I give birth early, and sometimes I postpone it. I feel at ease when I prepare in advance. Some people always give birth prematurely. I feel that I postpone it later." physique."

The room gradually darkened, Shuwan opened the door and saw that the sky was overcast, as if it was about to snow.

The fourth elder brother hadn't come back yet, so Shuwan ordered someone to come over with a cloak. She went to the front yard to have a look, and then came back with the fourth elder brother.

Nanny Ning persuaded her not to go, Shuwan was a little flustered and felt that she must go.

She covered her heart and forced a smile, "The snow on the ground has been swept away. I'll go for a walk. It looks like it's going to snow. I don't know how many days it will last. If I don't go out now , I won’t be able to go out tomorrow.”

Xia'er and the others also blocked her, but Shuwan had an intuition that she insisted on going to the front.

When they arrived at the front yard, the servant at the door refused to let Shuwan in.

The little eunuch smiled contortedly, "Fu Jin, Lord Baylor is talking about business inside! It's not convenient to see you! You go back first, and when Lord Baylor finishes his work, the servant will immediately report and send Lord Baylor back to the main courtyard."

Shuwan murmured in her heart, "There is no war outside, and the emperor has sealed his pen, so what else is the fourth elder brother doing?"

The little eunuch smiled and said: "This... this slave is just a janitor, if there is any serious business, Lord Baylor will not tell this slave!"

Shuwan looked inside, but stood at the door and refused to leave.

The little eunuch looked sad and worried, "Fu Jin... would you please move to the wing?"

Shuwan waved her hand, "No, I'll just stand here and wait."

The little eunuch looked at Nanny Ning and the others, you are people around Fujin, you are trying to persuade her!

Nurse Ning smiled and said: "Fu Jin, this little eunuch is right, don't stand here blowing the cold wind! How nice it is to go to the side room and sit by the fire! You are still pregnant with the child!"

Shuwan frowned and stood at the door, completely ignoring Nanny Ning's words.

At this time, a young servant came out from the yard, and Shuwan knew from his clothes that this was someone from her natal family.

Shuwan broke in, but the little eunuch didn't dare to stop her, so she hurriedly chased after her, and Nanny Ning and others quickly followed.

Shuwan pointed at the boy and shouted, "Stop! What are you doing here?"

The servant was a little flustered, "Slave... The slave is here... to greet Lord Baylor."

"It's not a festival, why come here to say hello?"

The fourth elder brother heard Shuwan's voice and came out of the room.

He frowned, asked the little eunuch to send the boy out, and then helped Shuwan to let her come to the study, "Come in, I'll tell you."

After entering the study, the fourth elder brother asked Shuwan to sit down and take a breath.

Shuwan said: "You'd better not lie to me, I'm not a fool. It's not a festival, why did my natal family come here? I was restless in the main courtyard just now, tell me the truth, is something wrong? ?”

The fourth elder brother licked his lips, not knowing what to say to Shuwan.

"Father-in-law... just passed away."

Just now he was secretly rejoicing that Shuwan drove him out of the main room, so that the messenger came directly to the front yard, and he could hide it from Shuwan, but he didn't expect to hide it from time to time.

Shuwan's eyes darkened, "How could it be? How could it be like this?"

Shuwan couldn't accept it at all, "Although I am old, my health has always been very good. I even sent Laba porridge to my mother's house a few days ago!"

"Father-in-law said he was tired after lunch, and he didn't wake up after going back to the room to rest. But he should not be in pain, you...don't be too sad..."

Shuwan supported her forehead, "You said it lightly, how can I... how can I not be sad?"

Unlike Da Fujin and Zhang Jiashi, they were lingering on the sick bed for a long time, and everyone was mentally prepared.

Fei Yanggu passed away suddenly, and he was fine the day before, which is the most unacceptable.

Shuwan sat numbly, tears streaming down her face.

The scene of Fei Yanggu accompanying her ran wildly in Shuwan's mind, making her feel uncomfortable.

"How is my mother-in-law?" Shuwan asked.

The fourth elder brother said: "Mother-in-law is very sad. She is afraid that you will be sad, so she specially asked me not to tell you about it."

Shuwan sniffed, "Stop talking, I'm going back to change clothes, I want to go back to my mother's house."

Nurse Ning hurriedly advised: "Fu Jin, you'd better not go, it's going to snow soon, it's cold and the road is not easy to walk, and you are still pregnant."

Shuwan asked coldly: "So I can't even see Ama for the last time?"

Nanny Ning sighed, and turned to look at Si elder brother.

The fourth elder brother persuaded: "Don't get excited, let Qiuxiang Bingxiang take a look instead of you!"

"I'm sorry, I can't listen to you about this, that's my biological father, I have to go back and see!"

Several people tried to persuade her in turn, but Shuwan made up her mind and just refused to listen.

The fourth elder brother had no choice but to agree.

"We agreed that we will go once today, and we will not go again after that."

Shuwan nodded, "I promise you."

Shuwan and the fourth elder brother went back to change clothes, put on plain clothes, and the carriages and horses were ready, and they went to Shuwan's natal home together.

The fourth elder brother brought a lot of guards, and the scene was very grand.When they arrived, the fourth elder brother helped Shuwan get out of the car, and went to offer incense with her.

Shuwan came to the mourning hall and cried until she was in tears. After offering incense, the fourth elder brother asked Nanny Ning to help her to the backyard.

Shuwan's mother-in-law was lying on the bed unable to get up, and her sister-in-law and sister-in-law took care of things together.

When Shuwan came to the backyard, all the female relatives saluted her, and Shuwan's mother-in-law also struggled from the bed to salute her daughter.

Tears fell unexpectedly, Shuwan held her mother down, and cried, "You gave birth to me and raised me, how can you salute me?"

Er Niang said: "Courtesy cannot be discarded."

Shuwan's sister-in-law and daughter-in-law came around and persuaded: "My condolences to Fujin, don't cry and break your body, you are still pregnant!"

The sisters-in-law and sister-in-law are gentle and considerate, and they think of Shuwan in everything.The hot water hand stove is fully prepared, and eating snacks is also Shuwan's favorite taste when she is at home.

Shuwan only felt bored after hearing this. If she wasn't the prince Fujin, her good sister-in-law and siblings wouldn't be so thoughtful and enthusiastic.

"Sister-in-laws and younger siblings, go get busy! I'll have a few words with Er Niang alone."

After Shuwan said this, the other female relatives went out.

Her mother-in-law sighed, "You shouldn't have come back."

"It's easy for you to say, I won't feel comfortable for the rest of my life if I don't come back."

Her mother-in-law looked up at the bed curtains, "People have to go through this all their lives. We should feel lucky. Your Ama didn't suffer. He was a high-ranking official and had many children. He was blessed. His daughter even became the prince Fujin." , you will be the princess in the future, what is there to be dissatisfied with?"

"You are really open, so why did you fall ill?"

Shuwan's mother-in-law: "...When you get married, your speech becomes even worse. It's because Si elder brother spoiled you."

Shuwan sighed, "Yes, the fourth elder brother treated me really well, and Ama found me a good marriage."

"You have already seen me, go back now! When I get well, I will go to Baylor Mansion to see you. You don't have to come to see me. These brothers of yours are too rich, have not been tempered, and have little talent , I won’t be able to help you in the future, let alone the fourth elder brother. This kind of relatives can be anywhere, and they can take care of them if they have spare energy.

Shuwan wiped her tears and laughed, "Look at what you said, it doesn't sound like what your mother said."

In other people's families, they can't wait for their high-married daughters to carry their natal family on their backs, but Shuwan's mother-in-law is kind enough to urge Shuwan to get rid of her useless brothers.

"I'm doing this for your own good! A woman who takes care of her natal family too much will sooner or later be rejected by my son-in-law. You can't speak in the first place, and if you drag your natal family away, life will be even more difficult!"

Shuwan's mother-in-law made jokes, which made Shuwan feel a little better.

Er Niang sighed: "Go back! You are pregnant! Don't come again!"

Shuwan wiped away her tears, and returned to Baylor's Mansion with her fourth elder brother.

Walking halfway, it suddenly started snowing, Shuwan lifted the curtain to see the snowflakes, then turned around and leaned against the fourth elder brother.

"Thank you……"

The fourth elder brother patted her on the head, "Don't be sad, I will accompany you."

Back home, Shuwan wiped away her tears, ate and slept normally.Although depressed, and occasionally lost his temper, but overall, the state is not bad.

The fourth elder brother asked the imperial physician to check Shuwan's pulse, and the fetus was very stable.In this way, the fourth elder brother is relieved, he is most afraid that Shuwan will be stimulated and give birth early.

Shuwan went back to her mother's house to take a look, but she didn't leave any regrets, and felt much better.She forced herself to eat on time, go to bed on time, take care of her baby seriously every day, and try not to think about other things.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the night before the [-]th, Shuwan prepared the auspicious clothes and hung them in the house. During the Chinese New Year, the fourth elder brother and the others had to enter the palace to worship their ancestors.

Shuwan asked the fourth elder brother: "Do you want to wear knee pads? Sometimes you will stand outside, it should be very cold."

"You don't need to wear it, most of the time is indoors, it's too hot to wear that."

Shuwan suddenly stopped and touched her stomach, "I remember the midwife has already arrived at the mansion, right?"

Brother Si nodded, "Yes! Aren't you in a hurry? I didn't even let the midwife stay at home for the New Year."

Shuwan sighed: "I don't have to go into the palace to pay my respects to my ancestors anymore, send me to the delivery room, I feel like I'm going to give birth."

The fourth elder brother hurriedly called for someone.

Shuwan has already given birth once, and the delivery room and midwives are ready.Nanny Ning and the others had experience, everyone performed their duties, and the scene was chaotic and orderly, only the fourth elder brother was running around like a headless chicken in a hurry.

The fourth elder brother ordered someone to invite the imperial physician, and also invited the doctors who were raised in the mansion.

"Let me ask you, isn't Fujin going to give birth in a few days? Why did it start early?"

The doctor is also worried, "This... There are also some premature births, uh, it's a normal phenomenon."

The fourth elder brother thinks this is not a normal phenomenon, "Fu Jin must have been stimulated and was in a bad mood, which affected the child, so he gave birth early. You quack doctor, you didn't diagnose this!"

The doctor was aggrieved while wiping his sweat, and the imperial physician in the palace was also checking Fujin's pulse, and they didn't realize that Fujin was stimulated!The fetal image is very stable, what does it have to do with me?

The doctor could only persuade: "Master Baylor calm down, Fujin is in good health and the month is coming, so he will definitely be able to give birth safely."

The fourth elder brother glared at the doctor, but ignored him.If something happened to Fujin, he would definitely resign from this quack doctor and ruin his reputation!

Shuwan's belly tightened, her baby moved frequently, and her stomach hurts intermittently, but she couldn't give birth.

The pain passed for a while, Shuwan asked Nanny Ning, "Where is Elder Brother?"

Nanny Ning hurriedly said, "Master Baylor is standing in the yard!"

"Where's Kang Bao?"

"The slaves are afraid that your childbirth will scare the little elder brother, so the nanny has carried him to the study in the front yard."

Shuwan thought for a while and said: "Let the fourth elder brother go to the front yard to sleep with Kang Bao. Worshiping ancestors is a big deal, so it's best not to ask for leave."

Nanny Ning said in embarrassment: "The fourth elder brother may not be willing to listen to the servant!"

Shuwan said: "Hey, try your best to persuade me! I feel the same as when I gave birth to Kangbao, only my stomach hurts, and I still have the strength to speak and eat, but the child just refuses to come out. He is waiting outside, I am afraid he will have to wait One night. It's freezing cold, don't freeze."

The midwife also said: "The cervix hasn't been opened yet, so I'm afraid there will be more waiting."

Nanny Ning had no choice but to go out to persuade the fourth elder brother, "You are freezing outside, and Fujin can't feel at ease. The little elder brother has never lived in the front yard, and the cold past, the little elder brother must be afraid. You should go to the front to rest! Wait for Fujin to hurry up." I gave birth, the servant ran to the front and called you to get up."

The fourth elder brother refused to leave, so Aunt Ning, Su Peisheng, Qiuxiang and others tried to persuade him in turn.

"You don't feel at ease staying here in Fujin. While she is hurting, she still has to miss you."

The fourth elder brother was helpless, he stood under the window and shouted inside, "Shuwan, don't be afraid, send someone to call me immediately if you feel unwell."

Shuwan took a deep breath, and reluctantly said in a relaxed tone: "Got it! You can go!"

The fourth elder brother went to the study in the front yard, carried Kang Bao to his bed, and slept with the child.

Kang Bao asked, "Where's Er Niang?"

"Emiang is giving birth to a younger brother, you are obedient here, and my younger brother will be born tomorrow."

Kang Bao sighed, "Oh..."

The fourth elder brother smiled and said, "Oh, what?"

"If you don't want my brother, just throw him away!"

The fourth elder brother asked: "Are you going to throw away my brother?"

Kang Bao nodded, "Throw it away, Er Niang, come and sleep with me!"

The fourth elder brother pinched his little nose, "Don't think about good things, throw away my brother, your mother should also sleep with me."

Kang Bao was very excited to change his place to sleep. He rolled around on the bed and played for a long time before falling asleep.

He hugged the fourth elder brother's arm, like a small stove, warm and soft.

The fourth elder brother stared at him without any sleepiness, and after a while he called Su Peisheng to ask about the situation in the backyard.

Su Peisheng sent people back and forth to ask, and then reported to the fourth elder brother.

In the middle of the night, the fourth elder brother couldn't hold it anymore, and was just about to fall asleep in a daze, when a wave of damp heat woke him up.

He got up and touched it, and it turned out that his son had wet the bed.

The fourth elder brother sighed, and called for someone to come in and change the bedding and clothes.

Kang Bao slept like a piglet, letting the nanny strip him naked and change his clothes.

After a lot of tossing, the fourth elder brother didn't want to sleep anymore. He asked Su Peisheng to watch Kang Bao, and he went to the back to see Shuwan.

Walking to the gate of the main courtyard, Nurse Ning just came out of the main courtyard.

"Master Baylor, you came just in time, Fujin is about to give birth, you should go and have a look!"

The fourth elder brother walked a few steps quickly, and many lanterns were lit in the main courtyard, illuminating the courtyard brightly.

There were occasional cries of pain from the delivery room, and the fourth elder brother walked up and down the yard with his fists clenched.

Until the sky was bright, Shuwan finally gave birth to the child.

The midwife wrapped up the baby, and everyone congratulated the fourth elder brother.

"Congratulations to Lord Belle, congratulations to Lord Belle. Fujin gave birth to an elder brother, mother and child are safe!"

The fourth elder brother couldn't help but shouted repeatedly: "Well, well! There are rewards!"

He saw two imperial physicians standing in the courtyard, "Huh? When did you come here?"

The imperial physicians said in their hearts: We have arrived a long time ago, and we have been guarding all night, so you can see our feelings.

The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "You also have a reward, Nurse Ning is so anxious to seal a big red envelope."

The imperial doctors laughed like a flower, "Thank you, Lord Baylor, congratulations, Lord Baylor."

The doctor felt resentful in his heart, and I stayed with him all night!Cursing people can come to me, why is there no me for rewarding people?

Shuwan was so tired that she closed her eyes and fell asleep after giving birth.

The fourth elder brother sent the imperial physician and the doctor to rest and eat in the front yard. He changed into auspicious clothes, took a carriage and went to the palace to worship the ancestors and announce the good news.

The emperor was also very happy to learn that Shuwan had given birth to a child on New Year's Eve. He said to the fourth elder brother: "There are few wives and concubines in your house, and there are only one son and one daughter. It is a good thing to add another one, who is still a son. You Fujin You just gave birth and can't enter the palace, so you go to the Yonghe Palace to greet your mother-in-law, report the good news to her, and make her happy too."

The emperor sent someone to the Yonghe Palace to say hello in advance, and then sent someone to send the fourth elder brother to the harem.

The Yonghe Palace has already been cleared ahead of schedule, and only Concubine De and Fifth Princess are there.

The fourth elder brother saluted respectfully and told Concubine De the good news.

Concubine De was really happy when she heard that, but she couldn't help complaining a few words.

"I heard that your father-in-law is gone, and you still took your daughter-in-law to her natal house?" Concubine De sneered, "Hmph, your daughter-in-law has always had her own ideas, and you can't even control her."

The fourth elder brother took all the responsibility on himself, "Er Niang misunderstood, it was my son who insisted on taking her back to her natal family. After all, he is Fujin's biological father, so it would be considered filial piety if I go back and take a look."

The fourth elder brother defended Shuwan, and this stern answer made Concubine De very unhappy.

"Just fool me! You are a steady child, you know the depths, if your wife is not self-willed, you can take her back? She is still pregnant! This premature birth must have been caused by a collision at that time! She is really powerful, not at all. Take the royal blood seriously!"

The fifth princess smiled and persuaded: "Emiang, it is said that the husband and wife will only become more and more alike. I think the fourth brother is stable, and the fourth sister-in-law is also very stable! Premature births are common, and it may not be a collision. If you want to Collision, I'm afraid I will have to give birth on the day I go. Besides, the mother and child are safe, and it will be born on the [-]th, isn't this a good time?"

Concubine De cast a glance at her daughter, this daughter is really outrageous, her elbows are turned outwards.

"Even if there is no collision, she shouldn't go back! When Concubine Min passed away, she didn't go back to the palace to see her, saying that she was pregnant. Now that her biological father is like this, she went back. Isn't this disrespectful to Concubine Min? She did this , what do other people in the palace think?"

The fourth elder brother lowered his head and frowned impatiently. He was quite happy at first, but Er Niang said that there was nothing there, which made him lose his good mood.

The fourth elder brother kept silent, but Concubine De got angry when she saw him like a piece of wood.

"Why didn't you speak?"

The fourth elder brother said dumbly: "What Er Niang said is correct, I don't know what to say. The matter has already happened, and my son doesn't know how to make it up. Please forgive Er Niang, don't worry about it anymore."

Concubine De: "You!"

The fifth princess hurriedly came forward to smooth things over, "Actually, both of you are right, you both want to live a good life. If Er Niang cares, she will be in chaos. Others will not point out the mistakes of the fourth brother and sister-in-law, but will only secretly read your jokes, er When Niang said it more seriously, she also meant to teach the fourth brother and do the best for the fourth brother.

Fourth brother!She is more upright, and Erniang knows it.He already knew that he was wrong, but he couldn't turn the corner when he spoke, and his tone wasn't gentle enough, which didn't please his ears. "

The fifth princess smiled and said: "Speaking of which, why does Sisao put up with Fourth Brother? You are like a living Hades outside, who is not afraid of anyone who sees it? Even I am afraid of Fourth Brother!"

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "Thank you fifth sister for explaining to me. I look scary, and I won't be afraid of me after getting along for a long time."

The fourth elder brother lowered his head at Concubine De first, "It's just like what the fifth younger sister said, my son is stupid, but his face is cold and warm. My son has already written down Eriang's teachings, and I won't dare to make mistakes next time."

The son and daughter all stepped down for themselves, and Concubine De didn't dare to show off anymore.

During the New Year's Eve, there was an unpleasant disturbance, and everyone was unhappy.Concubine De is very superstitious, she firmly believes that at the beginning of the year, the whole family must be happy, there must be no quarrels or anger, otherwise the coming year will not be smooth.

Concubine De also felt a little regretful, the child had finally entered the palace, why did she say such things!

Concubine De hurriedly said: "You and Shuwan are both good children. I was afraid that you would go the wrong way, so I kept admonishing you. We have to be cautious as human beings, and we can't let people see the joke and take advantage of it. You and Ten The third elder brother is so good, you don't want to have a estrangement with him!"

The fourth elder brother nodded and smiled, "What Er Niang said is absolutely true."

After complaining, Concubine De began to ask serious questions.

"How is the premature baby? How is Shuwan?"

The fourth elder brother hurriedly said: "Everything is fine with the child and Shuwan, the child is very healthy, but a little lighter than Kang Bao."

Concubine De smiled and said, "Who does the child look like?"

"It's too small, and I can't see anything." The fourth elder brother's mind was flexible for a moment, "But the mouth and chin look like my mother."

Concubine De really liked it, "Oh, he must be a very beautiful child! When he grows up, he must be brought into the palace for me to see."

The fourth elder brother mentioned Kang Bao again, "Kang Bao misses Er Niang very much. When playing at home, he often mentions you. When he has a new toy, he will mention it. I will leave this to my grandmother."

Concubine De was even happier, "My Kang Bao! Sure enough, I didn't love him for nothing!"

"Last night, Kang Bao slept with me. Fujin gave birth in the main courtyard. He was afraid that the shouting would scare Kang Bao, so he asked me to take Kang Bao to sleep in the front yard."

Concubine De nodded, "You Fujin did the right thing. A woman's childbirth is bloody, so she shouldn't be accompanied by a man."

"My son hardly slept all night. Kang Bao tossed and turned in his sleep. Sometimes he turned his head towards me, sometimes his head down and his feet up, and sometimes he kicked me again. In the middle of the night, he wet the bed, and I put him on the bed again. He picked it up and ordered people to change clothes and bedding."

Concubine De and Princess Wu covered their mouths and laughed while listening to Kang Bao's funny stories, Concubine De laughed and said, "What a naughty boy, he must be a good guy when he grows up."

The fourth elder brother chatted with Concubine De for a while, the time was almost up, the fourth elder brother could not stay for long, and left the Yonghe Palace with the concubine De's reward.

The fifth princess walked with him. On the way, the fifth princess smiled and said, "Fourth brother has changed a lot."

The fourth elder brother said lightly: "Is there?"

"Yes!" the fifth princess said, "When the fourth brother was not married, I also paid my respects to the fourth brother. At that time, I didn't dare to breathe. Fourteen is easy to talk, but we can't get close even if we want to."

The fourth elder brother touched his face, was he that scary at that time?

The fifth princess smiled and said, "It's different now! It feels like you've married the fourth sister-in-law and become more and more lively! You can tell jokes and coax people. Although you still have a straight face, it's not as scary as before. You see, just now, I gave you the steps. In the past, you would never compromise with Er Niang.

Now you can tell interesting stories about Kang Bao, and you can hold Er Niang's mind, saying that the child's chin and mouth are like Er Niang, isn't this all a change? "

The fourth elder brother nodded thoughtfully, "You're right, before... I really didn't seem to be like this..."

The fifth princess sighed: "It would be great if my future son-in-law was like the fourth brother. The quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law depends on the son to mediate. I think the fourth brother is doing very well. Of course, the fourth sister-in-law is also very good." , Er Niang is very hard to please, and the fourth sister-in-law actually coaxed Er Niang into submission."

The fourth elder brother smiled, "Indeed, your fourth sister-in-law is very good."

Fifth Princess: "..."

The fifth princess sighed in her heart: Fourth brother is so annoying!It's just an exaggeration, look how happy he is!He even showed it off to me!No wonder there are conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, no wonder there is an annoying sister-in-law, seeing fourth brother like this, I want to be an annoying sister-in-law!

The fifth princess lost interest in the conversation in an instant, and said goodbye to the fourth elder brother very perfunctorily.

The fourth elder brother didn't know where he offended his sister, and he didn't care. He went home immediately after leaving the palace, and spent the reunion year with Shuwan.

Shuwan has already woken up, the imperial physician and the doctor have checked the pulse, the pulse is stable, and everything is healthy.

The fourth elder brother returned home, took off his heavy auspicious clothes, and hurried to the delivery room to see his wife.

Shuwan smiled and said, "I'm back from the palace!"

The fourth elder brother nodded, "Yes! Er Niang praised you! Said that you have meritorious service in giving birth to a child!"

Shuwan shot him a look, "Don't coax me! Why would Er Niang praise me? She must be saying that I'm not good, that's not good. Mother-in-law! How can you not complain when you see your son!"

The fourth elder brother thought to himself: So she guessed it all.

"No! If you give birth to a child, you are meritorious."

Shuwan returned a smiling face, "I don't want to be meritorious, I only have children because I like children, especially you who are the most handsome!"
