Chapter 443 It’s great to have you
Yongle Palace.
With the help of her wet nurse, Jiang Ruo was able to take care of the child with ease.
Ruyi and Rulan took turns washing baby clothes and diapers and were very busy.
After Jiang Ruo coaxed the child to sleep, she said to the wet nurse in a pointed tone, "Wang, I intend to feed the prince myself."
"Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Upon hearing this, the wet nurse nodded quickly.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Being able to serve the Empress and the Little Prince for a few days is already a blessing that I earned in my previous life."
"I sincerely hope that the little prince will grow up safely and healthily."
The Emperor and the Empress are taking care of the little prince personally, so it would be unnecessary for me to stay here.
Ruyi said that it was the emperor who coaxed the little prince to sleep last night.
In other families, the husband follows the wife, but in the emperor's case, the wife follows the husband... How enviable!
Jiang Ruo smiled after hearing this and said, "Ms. Wang, I thank you on behalf of the emperor for your blessing."
Afterwards, Jiang Ruo instructed Dongxue, "Dongxue, give the wet nurse some reward money and arrange for a carriage to take her back."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dongxue bowed.
"Nurse, please follow me!"
The wet nurse knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Ruo, saying, "I will take my leave."
Jiang Ruo nodded slightly and watched the wet nurse leave.
Little Phoenix lay on the bed, snuggled up to Little Dumpling, and dozed off continuously.
Seeing this, Jiang Ruo rubbed Little Phoenix's head.
"Xiao Feng, go to the space and get some sleep!"
You haven't slept a wink since the baby was born!
Little Phoenix shook his head, "I want to stay here and watch over my nephew."
Jiang Ruo smiled helplessly, "Then you can sleep with the baby for a while."
After hearing this, the little phoenix fell asleep immediately without saying a word.
My thought before falling asleep was: I haven’t slept for several days and nights, I really can’t hold on any longer.
Jiang Ruo looked at the little phoenix who fell asleep in seconds and couldn't help but chuckle.
......
After the morning court session, Xiao Chengjin went directly to the imperial study.
Several palace servants standing at the door of the imperial study knelt and kowtowed, saying, "Your servants pay their respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
"Everyone, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ning Jinghuai heard the noise outside and quickly stood up and saluted: "This humble official greets the emperor."
"No need to be so polite!" Xiao Chengjin smiled and walked straight to the imperial table and sat down.
Ning Jinghuai looked at the piles of memorials with a depressed look on his face.
When I entered the palace this morning, Yan'er seemed to say she had a headache...
So, Ning Jinghuai came up with a plan.
While the emperor is here, quickly get rid of the official business.
Ning Jinghuai lowered his head, hiding his smug expression.
"Your Majesty, my wife has a headache... I would like to ask for two days' leave."
Xiao Chengjin: “….”
Don't think I didn't see your smug expression.
Forget it, you have worked hard for me these days, so I will let you rest for two days.
Xiao Chengjin curled his lips and smiled, "I agree."
Ning Jinghuai was secretly delighted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Chengjin looked at the memorial on Ning Jinghuai's desk with a guilty look on his face.
"Prince Ning, thank you for your hard work these past few days."
I have to remind the ministers at tomorrow morning's court that unless the matter is particularly important, they should not write memorials.
Ning Jinghuai quickly waved his hands, "Your Majesty, please excuse me."
Humph! I'm glad you know how hard I've worked.
"You should go back and spend time with your wife!" Xiao Chengjin sighed.
"Your humble servant will take his leave." Ning Jinghuai bowed and turned to leave the imperial study.
After Ning Jinghuai left, Xiao Chengjin said to Chief Steward Lin, "Prince Ning has helped me so much recently. Go to the storehouse and pick out some rare jade artifacts to send to the Duke's Mansion."
"By the way, the weather is hot, send some more fruits."
"I obey your command." Manager Lin bowed in response.
Xiao Chengjin stood up and said, "Have someone send these memorials to Yongle Palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Xiao Chengjin left the Imperial Study, Chief Steward Lin called out to the palace servants standing outside the palace, "You guys, take these memorials to the Yongle Palace Study."
"As you command."
After Xiao Chengjin left the imperial study, he hurried towards Yongle Palace.
The baby has been born for a few days and it’s time to name him.
Manager Lin knew that Xiao Chengjin had not slept all night, so he thought about taking turns to take care of the little prince at night.
So, he solemnly advised, "Your Majesty, please hand the little prince over to these old servants tonight."
"We will take good care of the little prince."
It has been several days since I last saw the little prince.
I don’t know if the little prince has changed.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin stopped.
"Manager Lin, taking care of the child is not tiring at all. I even feel very happy."
"Besides, I want to be a good husband and a good father, and I'm not just talking about it."
I will prove it with practical actions.
Steward Lin nodded, "I understand."
"If you want to see the prince, I will hold him in my arms and show him to you!" Xiao Chengjin curled his lips slightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Steward Lin laughed.
The master and servant walked towards Yongle Palace happily.
Xiao Chengjin gently pushed open the bedroom door and tiptoed to the bed.
He looked at Jiang Ruo who was resting with her eyes closed, and the sleeping little Tuanzi, with tenderness in his brows.
It’s great to have you.
Xiao Chengjin glanced at the little phoenix sleeping soundly and couldn't help but chuckle.
I haven't slept for several days, you must be very sleepy!
Jiang Ruo heard the noise and opened her eyes.
She looked at the dark circles under Xiao Chengjin's eyes, raised her hand and pinched his cheek, "You should get some sleep too."
Xiao Chengjin held Jiang Ruo's hand, "Ruoruo, I'm not tired."
"By the way, you should give the baby a name!"
When it came to naming the child, Jiang Ruo immediately became excited.
She sat up, thought for a moment and said, "Yusheng, you are magnanimous and positive..."
"How about the name Xiao Yousheng?"
"Okay, let's name the baby Xiao Yousheng." Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin quickly nodded in agreement.
Thinking of the suffering Jiang Ruo went through when giving birth, Xiao Chengjin couldn't help but tear up again.
He hugged Jiang Ruo, kissed her cheek and said, "Ruoruo, you have suffered."
Jiang Ruo curled her lips and smiled, "The baby is so cute, it's worth it no matter how much suffering I endure."
Haha, after “unloading”, it’s so relaxing.
After the confinement period, you need to exercise.
Xiao Chengjin was afraid of disturbing Jiang Ruo's rest, so he said softly, "Ruo Ruo, lie down and rest first. I'll go to the study to take care of some official business."
"Go ahead. Ruyi and the others are here to take care of us. Don't worry."
"If you're tired, just take a nap in the side hall." Jiang Ruo did not forget to remind him.
Xiao Chengjin hummed softly, helped Jiang Ruo lie down, kissed her, then kissed the little girl, and then left the bedroom contentedly.
Cold Palace.
Because Jiang Ruo gave birth to a prince, the treatment of Xiao Junze and others also improved a lot.
There are vegetables, meat, and fruit after the meal.
When Xiao Junze learned that Xiao Chengjin had given birth to a prince, he was so angry that he couldn't eat.
At this moment, several royal guards were chatting happily outside the cold palace.
"When the Empress gave birth to a prince, the Emperor immediately issued an edict to appoint him Crown Prince and granted him three years of tax exemption."
"That's nothing. This morning I heard from other brothers that the Emperor personally took care of the Empress and the little prince at night and didn't sleep a wink."
"Oh, the Emperor really loves the Empress so much."
.......
Xiao Junze hid behind the door, listening to the conversation of the imperial guards outside the cold palace, and snorted coldly.
Jiang Ruo, that enchantress, is indeed able to charm people.
East Palace.
Ever since Xiao Mocheng gave up the idea of seizing the throne, he has cultivated a piece of land in the back mountain.
He also asked the imperial guards guarding the Eastern Palace to buy melon seeds, vegetable seeds, and books about planting.
At this moment, Xiao Mocheng was sitting in front of Xiao Shunzi's grave, showing off the vegetables he grew.
"Xiao Shunzi, do you see that vegetable patch over there?"
“I planted it myself.”
"Alas, now that I think about it, I really am not qualified to sit on that throne..."
At this moment, Tang Shihuan's cursing voice came from not far away.
"Xiao Mocheng, Ning'er is sick, you need to think of a solution quickly."
Xiao Mocheng looked at Tang Shihuan with disheveled hair and shook his head helplessly.
"Xiao Shunzi, I'll come over to chat with you when I have time."
After Xiao Mocheng finished speaking, he picked up the hoe on the ground and walked towards Tang Shihuan.
Tang Shihuan was furious when she saw Xiao Mocheng, who no longer looked like a wealthy young man.
She pointed at the vegetable patch and shouted angrily: "Xiao Mocheng, you are a prince, not a farmer... Do you know that?"
Xiao Mocheng looked at the hysterical Tang Shihuan in front of him and curled the corners of his mouth.
"Huan'er, if you don't want to stay here with me, I will submit a petition to the Emperor asking him to let you go."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Ning'er."
After Xiao Mocheng finished speaking, he left.
Staying here will only restrict your personal freedom.
If I go out, I'm afraid I won't even have a place to stay.
Tang Shihuan turned around and looked at Xiao Mocheng's departing back, and burst into tears in anger.
leave......
Is there any way to survive if I leave?
