Chapter 941 Pregnancy Again
Time flies by, seasons come and go, and fifteen years pass in the blink of an eye.
The mid-autumn of the 57th year of the Kangxi reign was exceptionally hot, and even the Old Summer Palace could not hide the heat.
There were two icebergs in the wine-warming room, but he still felt it was not enough. He lay on the couch with a fan in his hand, unwilling to move.
"Master, look."
Wen Jiu looked up and saw: "There comes another iceberg."
Liusu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Isn't it the prince who sent it to you? The prince knows you're afraid of the heat, so he said he didn't need it and sent it to His Majesty."
Wenjiu still had no energy at all: "Leave it there."
"Master, are you feeling bored today? I have some news for you. I promise you will be refreshed immediately."
Wen Jiu raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "Teasing me again?"
Liusu just smiled and said, "That's right, this time it's a very good thing. When I left the house, I saw the eunuch who was delivering the message from the mansion and thought it was the hawthorns that had sprouted."
Wen Jiu was surprised: "Oh, so soon, boy or girl?"
Liusu: "This time, they gave birth to a pair of plump, fair boys. Just now, the eunuch said that Shanzha was fine, but Master Buyu had a stern face and was spreading candy in the mansion. People who saw him like that thought he had given birth to a girl, but they didn't know that everyone in our mansion was eager for a girl to the point of being crazy. By the way, Master, Buyu even brought some wedding candy back to the garden just now, if it was for you. But Shanzha said, don't eat it, or you might not be able to give birth to a girl."
When Wenjiu heard this, he swallowed his saliva and immediately pushed it away: "Yes, I still want a daughter, I won't eat this candy. Those brats haven't been seen for several days."
Thinking of this, Wenjiu suddenly became energetic: "No, I have to go and see. Don't let Buyu, that rough guy, get angry again because he gave birth to two more sons and said something unpleasant. Hurry, hurry, let's go now."
Liusu was at a loss for words. "Master, how can we just leave like that? We've packed up our things in the garden, but it's been so hot these past two days. Yesterday, news came from Changxin Garden that the Emperor said he'd return to the palace later."
Wen Jiu slapped his forehead and said, "How could I have forgotten about this? I'm really getting old."
As soon as these words came out, even Liusu couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Master, if the Second and Tenth Concubines heard you say this, I'm afraid they would be furious again."
The Second Consort was the Crown Princess's former wife. Eight years ago, the Crown Prince resigned again, and the Emperor finally agreed, granting him his wish. He was given the title of Prince Ren and a residence. The Prince Ren residence was not far from theirs. Naturally, the Crown Princess became the Second Consort.
After moving in, the Second Lady and her master stayed together nine out of ten days a week, and even the prince himself would feel jealous sometimes.
The Second Lady always loved to look at her master's face. She would look at it again and again, and would always say, "How come you haven't changed in these ten years? Heaven is so unfair."
Liusu felt that what the Second Lady said was not right. To be precise, the mistress today was more beautiful and charming than in the past, and even more so than before!
Wen Jiu: "Oh, they are in the capital, but we can't hear them. Liusu, we can't go back, so hurry up and send some things over, including the things we prepared for the child. Also, have Xiaodouzi go and check on the child. And also, have him tell Si Si to not upset Shanzha."
After saying that, Wen Jiu was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Has our yard been disturbed by a young man's nest? Now there are two more young masters. It's really a long way to go for that little girl."
This was Shanzha's third child. Perhaps because Buyanbuyu meant twins, the year Shanzha and her husband got married, they had two large, chubby boys. The following year, they had twins again—two sons. And this year, all three of their children were twins.
People say that these four royal palaces are extremely blessed and have many children and good fortune.
But they don’t know that everyone in their house dreams of having a daughter.
"Master, what are you talking about? The little master in your belly might be a little princess now, so don't worry." Liusu smiled and stood up with the help of Wen Jiu.
"I do hope so, but the more I hope, the less likely it is to happen. And you, haven't you found anyone you like in all these years? Dashao and Zhan Dagu have been in love and hate with each other for so many years, and they recently sent a letter saying they're getting married. What about you? If I don't hope you'll find me a little girl soon, you can find someone else."
When Liusu heard this, she immediately laughed: "I think giving birth is quite scary. It is better for me to be the head maidservant in front of the master."
"You." Wenjiu shook his head in amusement.
"By the way, Master, the eunuch who returned said that our courtyard has been expanded, and it will not be crowded when we return."
Today, the Qingliang Pavilion has expanded to cover most of the backyard.
Ulanara died before she could make it through the winter of that year, and there was no one else in the entire backyard except Song and Geng, both of whom lived at the very edge of the yard.
This time, the Fourth Master expanded several courtyards here to Qingliang Pavilion and changed the layout completely.
Now the backyard is not only the yard of a few young masters, but also the master has left some land for them.
Regardless of whether they were married or not, there was a place for everyone, including the young eunuchs, the palace doctors, and even those who had left for a long distance like Dashao and Zhan Dagumi and were not sure whether they would return.
In the master's words, as long as she is there, they will have a home to return to.
"That's great! When we get back, we'll have more space. The children are all grown up now. The Emperor mentioned their marriages a few days ago. Time really flies."
Liusu couldn't help but nod after hearing this. "Master, you are absolutely right. I always thought the princes were still young, but I didn't expect that they are already old enough to get married."
"Mother, who are you talking to about marriage?"
Just as the two were sighing, they suddenly heard the voice of a young man.
Then, a young man wearing a bright red flag-wearing robe embroidered with auspicious clouds in gold thread entered the house.
The young man was very tall, but he looked thin rather than strong. If anyone else wore this red, it would look tacky if they didn't do it right, but his skin was so fair that even the clothes he wore looked a bit out of place.
Especially his face, which was cynical yet full of color, so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
"My little ancestor, why are you wearing this red dress again? If the prince sees it, he will definitely scold you again. He will say that you like dressing up even more than that girl." When Liusu saw it, she greeted him earnestly and served him his favorite sweet tea.
"Ama is busy and can't take care of me right now. Besides, with my looks, it would be a waste to dress up. Ama is just an old-fashioned guy." As he said this, he turned his head and smiled at Liusu: "Auntie is so nice, I love this tea."
