Chapter 712 Falling out
Secretly, Mr. Xia was talking to Ms. Liu, "I think after spring starts, I'll take a month's leave and personally send my mother back to Jiangning City."
The old lady is getting older, and her body and bones are getting weaker year by year. It is difficult to keep the old lady in the capital. The old lady will eventually return to Jiangning to take care of herself. There is still a third child at home, and the third child is waiting for the old lady. He My second brother and I are also relieved.
Among the three sons, the third was the one the old lady loved most.
……
In the Prince's Mansion, on New Year's Eve, in order to take care of Xia Zihan's taste, Mrs. Zhuo ordered the cook to prepare a vegetarian New Year's Eve dinner. A lot of vinegar was added to each dish. The second and third children all frowned as they ate. But under the pressure of the boss, the two boys quickly pretended to enjoy the meal again.
In fact, sour bubbles almost appeared in my mouth.
Xia Zihan ate happily.
After eating, when she returned to the room, Chu Jingqi gave her a New Year's red envelope. The happy Xia Zihan hugged him and kissed him.
The child seemed to feel her joy, and became unruly in his belly, kicking and kicking randomly.
This was the first time Xia Zihan felt fetal movement.
Her eyes widened in shock and she muttered, "Aqi, it moved, the child moved."
"Touch me."
Chu Jingqi was curious and excited and reached out to touch her belly. The child seemed to feel his father's touch and kicked a few more times happily.
Chu Jingqi's heart turned into a puddle of water, "These two boys are so powerful. Does it hurt if they kick you?"
He looked at Xia Zihan worriedly.
"It doesn't hurt." Xia Zihan smiled sweetly, "Aqi, I'm so happy."
"Silly girl, I will make you happier." Chu Jingqi kissed her gently on the forehead.
Xia Zihan felt warm in her heart. She leaned in his arms, touched her belly, and played with the child for a while.
The child seemed to feel the love of his parents. He kicked and kicked for a while without resting. Xia Zihan said, "These two children will definitely be naughty in the future. They have been playing for so long and they are not tired yet."
Yes, she was pregnant with twins, and she took her own pulse.
After four months, she came out.
As for whether it's a boy or a girl, she hasn't figured it out yet.
……
On the second day of the new year, Mrs. Zeng sent someone to tell her early that she would not be allowed to go to the Chu family.
Mrs. Zeng said, "It's freezing cold, so don't come. If the carriage slips on the road and hurts you, I still have to feel sorry for my great-grandson. If you want to come, I can bring my great-grandson to play next year."
He refused to let Chu Jingqi go and told Chu Jingqi to stay at home with Xia Zihan.
Therefore, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, only the Zhuo family went to the Chu family with the second and third children, but there was also an extra water lotus.
Shui Furong heard that Zeng was Zhuo's godmother and wanted to meet Zeng for a long time. However, Zhuo had been busy taking care of Xia Zihan and had no time to come to Chu's house.
Now is the New Year. It just so happens that Mrs. Zhuo came to pay New Year greetings, and Shui Furong, who stayed at the Prince's Mansion to celebrate the New Year, also came to pay Mrs. Zeng New Year's greetings.
When Mrs. Zeng saw Shui Furong, she didn't feel unfamiliar at all. It was just like seeing the second Mrs. Zhuo. The love in her eyes was unstoppable.
And Shui Furong also fell in love with this kind and kind old woman at first sight, ahem... she got close at first sight, and felt that Zeng was very close to her, so she followed Zhuo and called Zeng's godmother.
Suddenly there was another goddaughter, and Mrs. Zeng was very happy.
She laughed heartily, "There are many happy events this year. Let's have a drink soon. Next year, I will have two more great-grandchildren."
The Chu family has a grandson, Xia Zihan is pregnant again, and now there is another goddaughter. Zeng feels that she has to work hard to live for a few more years. At least, she has to hear her great-grandson call her great-grandmother. .
In this way, after she dies and goes underground, she can show off in front of the old man.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Liao Fangyi, Qing Hui, Xia Ziqing, and Dou Da, along with their husbands, came to visit Xia Zihan.
A group of men were in the front yard, being entertained by Chu Jingqi.
A group of female relatives were playing in the flower room, with Xia Zihan entertaining the guests.
They played in the Prince's Mansion all day, and when night fell, they all said goodbye.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, Mrs. Zhuo accompanied Shui Furong to Huguo Temple. Xia Zihan was raising her baby at home. After Chu Jingqi went to the palace, he came back to play a game of chess with her.
On the sixth day of the lunar month, the queen entertained her.
All ladies of the third rank or above who are in Beijing must go to the palace to pay New Year greetings to the Empress Dowager.
As the eldest concubine of the county prince's palace and the princess of the county, Xia Zihan couldn't refuse such a big occasion even if she had ten thousand excuses.
On the sixth day of the lunar month, she got up early, dressed up, and accompanied Zhuo to the palace.
Chu Jingqi was worried, so she specifically asked Chu Meng and Chu Qing to pack several kilograms of green oranges and green plums for later use. Then she called the two of them to the front and gave them instructions.
"Ayu, if you feel unwell, just tell her directly that you are pregnant. The Queen Mother and Queen Mother will not embarrass you in public." In the car, Mrs. Zhuo told her worriedly. The Queen Mother likes Xia Zihan and will never embarrass her, but the Queen Mother...
She also didn’t know if Ayu’s horoscope meant that she was naturally at odds with the Empress. She always felt that the Empress had deliberately targeted Ayu and made things difficult for her several times.
In the past, it would have been fine if the Queen Empress had given Ayu a few words to embarrass Ayu, but now that Ayu was pregnant and had severe morning sickness, she was worried that... Ayu would accidentally bump into the Queen Empress, and then...
< br>
Ayu was carrying the eldest grandson of the Chu family, so there was no room for carelessness or any accidents.
After a while, she had to protect her daughter-in-law and grandson.
Mrs. Zhuo led Xia Zihan into the palace with a worried look on her face.
After walking a few steps, two guards came over carrying a shoulder carriage and stopped in front of Zhuo and Xia Zihan.
The guard said, "Your Majesty has an edict. Concubine Chu is pregnant and cannot bear the strain. So I ordered Concubine Chu to sit on her shoulders and pass by in a carriage."
The guard's voice was loud, and just in time, a group of married women came nearby. After they heard this, they all shot towards Xia Zihan with all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Xia Zihan was not the only pregnant daughter-in-law who came to attend the palace banquet. However, Xia Zihan was the only one who was valued by the emperor and even sent a carriage to carry her.
"Why are you jealous? You cannot be jealous of this honor."
"That's right, my husband is a young general from Da Sheng. We in Da Sheng are able to have good weather and live and work in peace and contentment because of the blessings of Crown Prince Chu and Prince Chu. What I enjoy now is the blessing brought by my husband."
"If your husband can subdue the Tatars and Japanese pirates, the emperor will also value him."
"You..."
……
The voices of the people quarreling sounded familiar. Xia Zihan turned around and saw two familiar faces.
One of them is Rong Wu, who was just promoted to the fourth princess in September last year.
The other person is Princess Ximin, who is married to Rong San as a concubine.
After Princess Ximin married into the Rong family, she was ignored by Rong San. Rong San disliked her for being a shabby shoe. Not only did she take in two aunts on the wedding day, embarrassing her, but later on, Rong San never stepped into the house. One step in her room made it clear that she disliked her for being a shabby shoe, which made Princess Ximin extremely insulted.
At that time, Rong Wu hadn't gotten married yet, and I didn't know if the two sisters-in-law had the same horoscope. In short, the two sisters-in-law hit it off immediately and became good friends.
When Rong Wuchang got married, Princess Ximin also gave her a generous dowry.
But...
Things always happen unexpectedly.
Ever since the engagement, Rong Wu has always disliked Prince Ping for his young age and worried that Prince Ping was a useless man. He was picky and disliked Prince Ping in every way, and even vowed not to marry him, saying that he would not marry anyone but Chu Jingqi.
If Princess Rong hadn't threatened her with her life, Rong Wu would have resisted the decree and refused to marry.
Prince Ping also got the news that Rong Wu didn't like him. On their wedding night, Prince Ping almost caused Rong Wu to die on the bed.
When he got up in the morning, he saw that Rong Wu was covered in bruises and unconscious due to his soft caress. Prince Ping showed no pity at all. He even sneered and snorted, "It's useless to dislike me. Hum, then I'll let you taste it." Taste whether I am really useless ”
One or two of the wives he married despised him for being young and useless. No wonder Prince Ping was twisted and angry.
His dignity as a man was trampled under the feet of his two wives. For any man, this is a matter of hurting face and self-esteem.
After all, he is also the emperor's biological brother, the Prince of Dasheng. He is disliked by two young ladies in every way. How can he swallow this tone of voice?
Then, because Rong Wu couldn't get out of bed, he missed the time to go to the palace to kowtow to the Queen Mother.
When she woke up in the afternoon and hurried into the palace to see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, who had been waiting for her all morning, was very angry. When the Queen Mother was angry, she did not see Rong Wu, let alone enter the ancestral hall to worship her ancestors, enter the family tree, and carve inscriptions. thing.
Until now, Rong Wu's name has not been included in the Ao family's genealogy, and no written ultimatum has been engraved for her. According to calculations, she is still not the real fourth princess.
Because the Queen Mother did not acknowledge her.
It's just that outsiders don't know about this.
However, as a princess, Princess Ximin also had one or two informants in the palace. She somehow found out about this matter, and when she was holding a banquet in Prince Rong's Mansion, she accidentally let it slip and let it out. .
It's been a few months since we got married, but we haven't been recognized by our husband's family yet. This is a very shameful thing.
Just like in the 21st century, after a few months of marriage, the husband's family is unwilling to let his son and daughter-in-law get a marriage certificate. This is because they sincerely look down on the daughter-in-law.
Therefore, Rong Wu also became a joke among the aristocratic circles in the capital.
Rong Wu lost face and became the laughing stock of others after dinner, so she blamed Princess Ximin for this. She thought that Princess Ximin was not treated well by her elder brother, so she took revenge on her elder brother, and the revenge came to her head. Come up.
For this reason, Rong Wu even had a big quarrel with Princess Ximin, and the two of them completely fell out because of this matter.
