Chapter 790 Provocation
"It will be clean in twenty days." Xia Zihan said softly with a red face.
She was asked to stay in the house for two months without coming out. She couldn't do it without suffocating herself to death. Moreover, she couldn't do anything in the house. She wasn't even allowed to touch needle and thread, and she wasn't allowed to read or read. If it hurts the eyes, in short, I have to lie on the bed dryly, stare at the top of the bed, carefully outline the patterns on it, and kill time.
"That's good. Back then, when I gave birth to my two eldest children, I was already a month old and my body was completely dry. But when I gave birth to my fifth child, it took me more than 40 days to get clean. It was also such a hot day at that time, and I had to hold it in for more than 40 days. In the house, I didn’t wash my hair, didn’t take a shower, and the smell on my body...not to mention how unpleasant it was.”
Back then, when she was in confinement, the second prince would not enter her house at all.
Not to mention that the Second Prince didn't like the smell, even she herself felt nauseated after smelling it several times.
When Mrs. Zeng saw her mentioning Lao Wu, she asked about Lao Wu's marriage, "Girl Qinghui said, you are showing Lao Wu a wife these days. How are you doing? Do you have anyone you like?"
The second princess smiled with a smile on her face, nodded and said, "There are a few who are similar, but they are a little younger, and I don't know what their temperaments are like. My fifth child doesn't know why, since his eldest brother went to the border After that, he became like a boring gourd and didn’t like to talk much.”
Only when he came to pay her respects would he rarely speak a few words. On weekdays, just like Meng Gourd, it would be even harder for him to speak.
Moreover, he was actually obsessed with practicing martial arts and pestered his father to teach him all day long. He also said that when he grew up, he would go to the border to help his elder brother fight Japanese pirates.
Last year, after the war in Japan, the emperor wanted to send Chu Xuanyu to fight, so he eagerly wanted to follow Chu Xuanyu to fight at the border.
Ao Tianchen was on the battlefield, and the second princess couldn't stand it anymore. She was uneasy and on tenterhooks all day long, and she was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night long. If Xiaowu went to the battlefield again, would the second princess still survive?
The second princess refused to let her youngest son go to the battlefield, but Xiao Wu insisted on going. In the end, the second prince lost his temper and tied him up and locked him up.
Fortunately, things in Japan were settled quickly. After the war, the second prince released him.
Later, Xiao Wu's temperament became even quieter. Basically, he would not say a word all day long. He also became more obsessed with practicing martial arts. He even bought martial arts secret books and practiced in the dark all day long. .
The second prince was very happy to see his youngest son practicing martial arts, but the second princess was extremely worried. She always thought that something was wrong with her youngest son, and his temper had changed too much.
However, a doctor was invited to see him. The doctor said that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Wu.
Until now, Xiao Wu is still a boring gourd. He doesn't like to talk, doesn't like to go out, and doesn't like to make friends. In short, he is addicted to practicing martial arts. It seems that practicing martial arts is the only thing in his world.
Zeng said, "This year's palace draft, some good girls have been selected into the harem. Otherwise, you should postpone the appointment of a wife for Xiao Wu for two years. Xiao Wu is still young anyway, and it will take two years to get engaged." OK.”
As for the girls who were knocked down from the harem, they were all of inferior quality. As the legitimate son of the second prince, Xiao Wu would definitely not marry any of the remaining women chosen by his cousin. The second princess could only choose a lower age. .
Among the little girls she has taken a liking to, the oldest one is only thirteen years old this year, and the other two are twelve years old.
The second princess thought about it and felt that she could still delay it for two years. Xiaowu was fifteen years old this year, and after two years of delay, she would only be seventeen. Her eldest son also got married when he was seventeen or eighteen.
"Okay." She said, "Two years of waiting. Xiaowu is only seventeen years old, so there is no rush. I will take advantage of these two years to find out what the temperaments of the girls I have chosen are like. Xiaowu Wu doesn't like to talk, I have to find a gentle and considerate girl for him. "Hey, mother, look, it's Princess Rong and Princess Ximin who are here," Princess Mingzhu suddenly said in a low voice.
Everyone looked outside, and sure enough, Princess Rong and Princess Ximin were coming this way with a smile on their face. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were walking side by side, with smiles on their faces, and they seemed very close.
Princess Qinghui curled her lips and said sarcastically, "When did the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have such a good relationship? Weren't they always incompatible with each other before?"
"I heard from your brother that when they came back this time, they also brought back a personal nanny of Princess Ximin." The second princess said, "This nanny is also very lucky. After Princess Ximin was rescued, this nanny He realized something was wrong and escaped secretly, leaving only one life. The others were killed by Princess Ximin's husband in Japan. "
After the second princess finished speaking, Princess Rong and Princess Ximin had already entered uninvited.
Xia Zihan had to stand up to greet her, "Princess Rong, Princess Ximin."
He bowed slightly, saluted, and then led the two of them to sit on the Kang.
There were only two chairs in the flower hall. The second princess Zeng and others were sitting on the kang. Princess Rong and Princess Ximin saw that the kang was not big and four people were already sitting there. It would be a bit crowded for two more people to sit in the remaining seats. Princess Rong looked at it. After looking at it, she didn't get on the kang. Her maid moved two chairs aside, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat beside the kang.
The second princess had a higher status than Princess Rong, so she did not get up. When Princess Rong saluted her again, she did not avoid it and accepted it completely.
When Princess Rong saw that she had received her full courtesy, her face turned a bit dark and unsightly.
Zeng is old and has difficulty moving. Just when she was about to get up and go down to salute Princess Rong and Princess Ximin, the second princess held her down and said, "Old madam, you have difficulty moving, so you don't need these false courtesy. I think, Princess Rong Princess He Ximin is not a petty person and will not blame you.”
Princess Rong's face turned darker, but she had to follow the words of the second princess, "Yes, old lady, you can't bend your back just because you salute me, then I will feel guilty. ”
"This is the first time I've heard that you can flash your waist while saluting?" Princess Ximin opened her eyes and blinked, looking innocent.
"No." Princess Rong half-smiled, "However, the old lady is weak. If I accepted the old lady's gift, I would feel so guilty that I wouldn't be able to eat the banquet. You don't want your mother to go back hungry. ”
Princess Ximin pursed her lips and smiled, "You are a guest, how can I ask you to go back hungry, otherwise, the princess and Princess Chuyu will be laughed at."
As he said that, his eyes drifted towards Xia Zihan. Deep in his eyes, there was a strong and unwilling look of jealousy.
Xia Zihan accepted the invitation and said with a smile, "Princess Rong and Princess Ximin really love to tell jokes. When you come to the house, you are guests of the house. Even if Princess Rong really can't eat it, I will pack a portion and send it to you." They were sent to Prince Rong’s Mansion.”
