Chapter 462 Twins?
How could Wen Jiu know any rules herself? But the original owner's rules were impeccable. She had been raised by Concubine De since she was a child. Concubine De was extremely strict in her discipline. She had also served the Fourth Master for ten years. Those rules were ingrained in her bones, and she couldn't find any mistakes.
After all this trouble, the Queen Mother's frown disappeared.
However, she still had to warm the wine while copying the Buddhist scriptures. He didn't rub the warm wine, but let her sit and write slowly, probably hoping that the warm wine would temper her temper.
Zhiwen Jiu was not a soft-tempered person. He had been sitting there writing for less than a quarter of an hour when he suddenly held his stomach and yelled.
The Queen Mother was shocked and asked immediately.
Wenjiu didn't say that he had a stomachache, but only said that he seemed to feel the baby in his belly move a little. Haidao thought that it might be the child greeting the Queen Mother.
After all, the Queen Mother had never given birth, so she was unsure of her situation. At this moment, she did not bother to warm up the wine, but immediately invited him to come over to check on her body.
It was just a coincidence that it was Doctor Liu.
Doctor Liu and Wen Jiu were also close friends. When he saw Wen Jiu's expression, he directly revealed the news that she might be pregnant with twins, and also "inadvertently" mentioned that Wen Jiu had helped treat the emperor's leg disease.
After the Queen Mother understood the whole story, the heart on her head turned a light pink.
Speaking of which, she was born into a very high family. She was the niece of the Grand Empress Dowager. She married into the palace in her early years and has always been by the Grand Empress Dowager's side. Who was the Grand Empress Dowager? She supported two generations of young emperors and should be a role model for women.
Having been with the Empress Dowager for many years, the Empress Dowager has also developed a bit of fortitude in her character.
Such a person would not resort to despicable means.
Although his face was cold, Wenjiu didn't think he was that difficult to approach.
So, she shamelessly suggested that the Queen Mother go out for a walk with her, saying that the air in the house made her feel uncomfortable.
I don’t know if the Queen Mother felt guilty, but she was actually willing to come out with her.
To be honest, the empress dowager's room was not very comfortable to begin with.
The maids and old women were afraid that the Empress Dowager would catch a cold, so they didn't even open the windows.
It was a hot summer day, and with incense burning, she couldn't help coughing when she went in, not to mention that the empress dowager was still sick.
It would be strange if she could feel comfortable in such a room with turbid air.
"Fourth Master, why aren't you happy?" The Queen Mother saw that the Fourth Master was still frowning and immediately said, "Are you following the old pedantic ways of the previous dynasty and thinking that having twins in your belly is unlucky? We Manchus don't believe in such things."
In the early days of the Khorchin grasslands, wives were treated equally, not to mention children. As long as there were many offspring, it was good!
What's wrong with twins? The Empress Dowager is very reluctant to hear anything that would disrupt the imperial power.
The Fourth Master gave the Empress Dowager a strange look and suddenly asked, "Grandmother, did you call the imperial physician to examine Jiu'er? Did the imperial physician say this?"
The Fourth Master thought that it was most likely that Jiu'er's condition had worsened again.
Earlier, before she got pregnant, she always said she was pregnant, and she was pregnant with four children.
She hadn't mentioned it much recently, but unexpectedly, she brought it up with the Empress Dowager again. The Fourth Master couldn't help but feel anxious.
The Queen Mother only frowned and said, "Child, if it wasn't the Imperial Physician who said that, how could I possibly know? It was Imperial Physician Liu who said it himself."
Fourth Master: “…Really…?”
The Empress Dowager would definitely not lie. What the imperial physician said... could it be that they are really twins?
Seeing that the Fourth Master still didn't look happy, the Queen Mother couldn't help but frown slightly: "Fourth Master, don't try to learn those pedantic ways."
"Are they really twins?"
The Fourth Master stared at Wen Jiu's belly, subconsciously walked over to her side, and put his hand on her belly.
With a snap, the Queen Mother knocked the Fourth Master's hand away, frowning and saying, "You still don't believe me? Do you think you can find anything by touching it yourself? You are clumsy, don't scare people. Be careful and sit down."
The Fourth Master was silent for a moment, looking at the Queen Mother protecting the warm wine, and finally found a chair behind her and sat down with a strange look on his face.
His eyes looked at the warm wine and the empress dowager from time to time, and it was obvious that he was still a little dazed.
The other people were also a little stunned. The third master must think that the fourth brother was really lucky.
When it comes to wine-warming and beauty, no one in the palace can match her, and when it comes to cooking, she is even better. She is also good at business, and has made a lot of money recently.
She is impeccable in the way she behaves and is an exceptionally intelligent woman.
And now, she could even conceive twins! Giving birth to two at once, this was unprecedented good news in the harem.
The key point is that such a person is not even the principal wife, nor the concubine, but a concubine.
The concubine's monthly allowance was only five taels of silver, which was no different from keeping a maid.
The fourth brother is too stingy. He didn't even give a promotion to someone like Wen Jiu.
Having said that, if Wen Jiu's family background was higher and she was a legitimate wife, with her skills, she would probably not allow her husband to take a concubine.
If she was a concubine, the fourth brother would have no control over how many women he wanted. How comfortable would the fourth brother's life be?
The Third Master couldn't help but click his tongue twice, and the word "envy" seemed to float out of his eyes.
Thirteen's eyes were also on Wenjiu. He felt that there was something wrong with his little sister-in-law.
Under normal circumstances, Li, who was beside the fourth brother, should have been pregnant and gave birth to the fourth brother's third son, who died at the age of two.
Now, how come the pregnant one became Xiao Si's wife?
There is another strange thing. The Empress Dowager usually dislikes concubines, especially the enchanting concubine.
The Fourth Sister-in-law's appearance was even better than the others, but the Empress Dowager seemed to be very protective of her. Even if the Fourth Sister-in-law was pregnant with twins, she wouldn't be so protective, right?
Speaking of which, the number of princes who died young due to Fourth Brother’s actions is too many to count with one hand.
Take his favorite concubine in his previous life, Concubine Nian, for example. She gave birth to four children, but none of them survived and all died young.
The impression given by the fourth brother was that he had few children. When he had twins, the Thirteenth Master was still a little shocked.
While others might have had some ulterior motives, Fourteen was simply curious. He stared at Wenjiu's belly for a long time and asked, "There are two children in here? Won't they fight inside?"
Wen Jiu raised his eyebrows: "To answer Fourteenth Master, maybe they are really fighting in her belly." What would everyone do if he told everyone that she was pregnant with not two but four babies?
"Is it a boy or a girl? If two boys fight, it's possible, but if a boy and a girl fight, it's a bit bad.
Besides, if it’s a man and a woman, wouldn’t they feel shy to be naked together?”
After hearing Fourteen's train of thought, Wenjiu was stunned for a moment.
shy?
Sorry, never thought about it.
