Chapter 489 Coaxing a Baby
Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu looked at Yu Ziyou, who was lying in Concubine Yu Gui's arms with the back of his head facing them, and they felt very uncomfortable.
The atmosphere in the palace was a little depressed for a while, and the emperor said, "Let's go to dinner first."
Concubine Yu Gui also comforted her, "It's normal for a child to recognize people, just get familiar with them."
If he was older, he could still talk to him, but a child under one year old couldn't even understand what was said, and couldn't speak yet, so he could only be coaxed.
Jiang Shu nodded, suppressed his sadness and went to the dining hall to eat.
"Ah ah..." As soon as he arrived at the dining hall and saw the food on the table, Yu Ziyou, who was originally unhappy, suddenly waved his hand and called out.
Concubine Yu Gui said gently, "Don't worry, I'll feed you right away."
Yu Ziyou is already eight months old and can eat some porridge. Concubine Yu Gui would feed him a little every day during meals.
After getting used to it, Yu Ziyou began to like eating and didn't like drinking milk so much.
"Has Ziyou started eating?" Jiang Shu was a little surprised.
Concubine Yu Gui nodded, held Yu Ziyou and sat down, saying, "You can eat some porridge and egg custard. Ziyou loves it."
Concubine Yu Gui said, skillfully scooped up the porridge with a spoon, blew it gently, and fed it to Yu Ziyou's mouth.
Yu Ziyou opened his mouth and ate with relish.
"Ziyou, can your mother feed you?" Jiang Shu coaxed softly.
Concubine Yu Gui handed her the spoon and let her try.
Jiang Shu held the bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other, scooped some porridge, blew it to warm it, and fed it to Yu Ziyou.
Yu Ziyou was stunned for a moment, looked at Jiang Shu and then at the porridge, and ate it with a smacking mouth.
Jiang Shu was delighted to see this, a smile appeared on his face, and he continued to feed Yu Ziyou.
Yu Zheng watched from the side, his eyes fixed.
It has been more than four months, and he also missed Yu Ziyou very much and wanted to hug him.
But Yu Ziyou didn't want to, so they could only take it slowly, as they owed him.
After a small bowl of porridge was finished, Yu Ziyou was full, and Concubine Yu Gui asked Chu Yu to take him down to play.
During this time in the palace, Concubine Yu Gui tried her best to let Chu Yu take care of Yu Ziyou, in case Yu Ziyou recognized people and would not be used to it when he returned to the palace.
It must be said that Concubine Yu Gui was very thoughtful. When leaving the palace after dinner, there was no commotion as Chu Yu accompanied Yu Ziyou.
"Thank you, mother, for taking care of Ziyou for so long." Jiang Shu was sincerely grateful.
Concubine Yu Gui said, "The palace is quiet, thanks to Ziyou's company."
"I really don't want him to leave. I'll bring him to the palace more often in the future."
"It's getting late. Go back quickly. Ziyou needs to go to bed." Concubine Yu Gui smiled and waved.
Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng agreed and left with Yu Ziyou.
Concubine Yu Gui and the emperor stood at the gate of Zhongling Palace, watching the three people walk away, and only turned back to the house after their figures disappeared around the corner.
Yu Lan left, Yu Ziyou also left. Concubine Yu Gui looked at the suddenly cold Zhongling Palace, feeling melancholy and sighing.
"And I." The emperor held her hand.
Concubine Yu Gui smiled softly and felt a little better.
Yes, in a person's life, the only person who accompanies them the longest is the one by their side.
After nightfall, Shangjing was lit up by thousands of lights, dotted like stars in the night sky.
Looking down from the sky, Shangjing was beautiful and prosperous at night, like a starry picture.
A carriage drove in this painting, passing through the bustling streets through the long corridor, turning into the quiet alleys, and finally stopped in front of Prince Jing's mansion.
"Ziyou, we are home." Jiang Shu got off the car and hugged Yu Ziyou.
Yu Ziyou was rocked to sleep by the carriage. He was so drowsy that he didn't even look at anyone, and let Jiang Shu carry him.
The familiar breath in his memory made Yu Ziyou feel at ease, and he rubbed against Jiang Shu's arms.
Jiang Shu's heart melted with this rub.
Looking down at the little person in his arms, Jiang Shu smiled very gently, and walked into the house with slow steps, fearing that he would wake Yu Ziyou up.
After returning to the main courtyard, Shuanghua Tanyu wanted to speak out to salute, but was stopped by Jiang Shu.
The two glanced at the sleeping Yu Ziyou and fell silent knowingly.
Jiang Shu carried Yu Ziyou into the house, carefully put him on the bed, and patted him gently to comfort him.
Yu Zheng stood aside, watching Yu Ziyou, who was smacking his lips and gradually falling asleep on the bed, with a slight smile on his lips.
After making sure that Yu Ziyou was fast asleep, Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng tiptoed out of the house.
"Princess." Chu Yu and others were waiting outside.
Jiang Shu closed the door and said softly, "Ziyou may not be able to adapt to the new environment after just coming back. He may wake up at night. Thank you, Chu Yu, for accompanying him."
"Yes." Chu Yu hurried to wash up and went into the house to keep watch.
Shuanghua and Tan Yu followed Jiang Shu to the main house to serve.
Jiang Shu sat down and drank a sip of tea. He raised his eyes and looked at Tan Yu's bulging belly. He asked a few questions happily and told her to go back and rest so that she could take care of the baby without having to serve.
Tan Yu said, "My baby is stable. I can do simple tasks like serving tea."
The master and servant have been together for many years. This is the first time they have been separated for so long. Tan Yu missed him a lot.
Besides, Zhuiyun had to be on duty during the day, and it would be lonely and boring for her to be alone in the small courtyard. It would be better for her to be in the hustle and bustle of the main courtyard.
Jiang Shu saw what she was thinking and thought, "Then you can come later in the day, and don't have to get up early. The child is important."
"Thank you, Princess." Tan Yu happily agreed.
"Okay, it's getting late, you can go back and rest." Jiang Shu glanced at Zhuiyun under the corridor outside the house.
Zhuiyun understood, came over and helped Tan Yu away.
It was late at night, and Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng were exhausted after traveling for nearly a month. After taking a bath, they also went to bed.
The next day, Jiang Shu woke up to the cry of Yu Ziyou.
He glanced at the room blankly, and was shocked to find that he had returned to Shangjing, and suddenly woke up.
"Chu Yu, bring Ziyou in."
The room was empty, with only Jiang Shu.
Yu Zheng got up early to attend the court because he had to report the war in Yicheng.
Soon, the door opened, and Chu Yu came in holding the crying Yu Ziyou.
Jiang Shu got up from the bed, without even putting on her clothes, and held Yu Ziyou to comfort him.
"What's wrong, Ziyou? Are you hungry?" Jiang Shu whispered softly.
Yu Ziyou struggled in Jiang Shu's arms, crying non-stop.
Chu Yu said, "The prince ate milk after he got up. I have asked the kitchen to make egg custard for him and sent it with breakfast."
"Maybe the prince is not used to the new place."
Jiang Shu said nothing after hearing this, but just coaxed him patiently.
After a while, Yu Ziyou was tired of crying, and he lay in Jiang Shu's arms, looking at her with wet eyes.
Jiang Shu smiled softly and said, "Ziyou, you still recognize me, right? I brought you something fun."
Jiang Shu said, directing Chu Yu Shuanghua to open the box she brought back and find the gadgets she bought for Yu Ziyou in Pingyang.
It was a conch that could be blown.
Jiang Shu put it to his mouth and blew gently, and the sound of the conch successfully attracted Yu Ziyou's attention.
Yu Ziyou blinked, attracted by the beautiful colors and patterns of the conch, and played with it over and over in his hands.
Jiang Shu sat on the couch and asked Chu Yu to twist the handkerchief, and gently wiped Yu Ziyou's tearful face.
Yu Ziyou, who was full of curiosity about everything, was fascinated by the conch he had never seen before and had a lot of fun playing with it. He even thought it was inconvenient to play in Jiang Shu's arms, so he protested and struggled to climb onto the couch.
Jiang Shu smiled helplessly and took the opportunity to get dressed and wash up.
