Chapter 2653 Send Me
The falconer sat on the steps, looking very sad. When the prince came back and saw him sitting there with his chin propped up, he couldn't help but smile. He walked over and picked him up, saying with a straight face, "You are such a grown-up, what is there to be sad about?"
The eagle slave immediately said, "Father, mother said she is pregnant with a little sister, but I didn't prepare any gifts for her."
He pursed his lips in grievance and said with tears in his eyes, "I still want a brother."
Upon hearing this, the prince carried him into the house and said, "It's not difficult. Just let your mother give birth to you later. You will always have a younger brother."
The Crown Princess, who had just stood up from the couch, said: ...
The prince placed his son on the couch, pressed his hand for her to sit down, and asked, "Who is here today? When did the Imperial Hospital become so careless as to tell you that the baby in your belly is a girl?"
They had asked about this when the Crown Princess was just pregnant, but from Xiao Yuanzheng to the unknown little imperial physician, they all laughed it off in response to their inquiries and said they could not make a diagnosis.
Of course, the prince didn't think that they were all unable to diagnose the disease. It would be fine for others, but with the skills of Xiao Yuanzheng and Doctor Liu, it was impossible for them not to be able to diagnose the disease.
It’s just that I don’t dare to say it, and I don’t want to say it.
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "I wasn't feeling well today, so I asked Zhou Man to come over. She said our child will be as lovable as Mingda in the future."
The prince understood what was going on. He reached out and touched her belly, "Then we should prepare some brightly colored clothes."
"Children don't need too many clothes. I asked, and they said that the clothes worn by eagle slaves are enough."
"No, you have to wear new ones." This is his eldest daughter, how can she wear old ones?
The Crown Princess said: "...they said the old ones were more comfortable, and the falcon slaves grew fast at that time, so the old clothes were not worn for long, and they were almost as good as new ones."
But the prince had a stubborn temper, and the princess couldn't convince him for the time being. Since it was almost the same as the new one, why not just wear the new one?
Is he someone who is short of fabric?
He added, "Let the people below buy soft cloth. Can't I even find two pieces of cloth for the child?"
The Crown Princess remained silent.
When Manbao entered the palace again, he heard the Crown Princess asking about this matter in a worried tone.
Manbao asked, "Do you want to make new clothes or old clothes?"
The Crown Princess sighed and said, "We had made a few sets of clothes before, thinking it would be a boy, so we made them all based on Eagle Slave's old clothes. Eagle Slave's clothes would be enough. His Highness didn't say anything bad at the time, but when he said it was a girl, he didn't want the child to wear Eagle Slave's old clothes anymore."
Manbao: "So what do you mean?"
The Crown Princess said helplessly, "I have no choice but to listen to him, otherwise I'd lose my temper. But the eagle slaves' clothes have all been washed and aired. No one's wearing them right now, so it's not convenient to throw them away. The Queen has always been frugal. If she knew I'd just thrown them away like that, she'd definitely be angry."
Whenever the children in the Eastern Palace fell ill, they would ask either Imperial Physician Liu or her for help. Therefore, she knew that although the Crown Princess was good to them, she would not give them the Eagle Slave's things.
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you give it to me?"
The Crown Princess widened her eyes slightly and looked at her in surprise, "You, you are pregnant?"
Man Baole said: "No, but my second niece and eldest niece's wife are about to give birth, and they need it."
The Crown Princess was overjoyed. After thinking for a moment, she said, "That's fine. I'll have someone clean it up."
The Crown Princess asked the palace maids to pack up four packages, which contained not only clothes, but also swaddling clothes, small shoes, and a small cloth bag...
Everything is brand new. After all, children grow fast, and a set of clothes will no longer fit them after two or three months.
The Crown Princess said, "This is the dress she wore before she turned one year old. Take a look."
Manbao opened them and took a look. They were all very simple clothes, without any embroidery on them. They were all printed with their own patterns or in simple colors, mostly red and moon white. The ones next to the body were mostly made of soft cotton and linen, while the ones outside were mostly red.
Well, Eagle Slave has been a happy baby for several years, so now he likes to pull anything red when he sees it, especially red.
Manbao couldn't carry so many things back by herself, so the Crown Princess assigned a few people to take them home with her. She also said with a smile: "When you give birth to a child in the future, I will collect the clothes worn by this child for you."
Manbao didn't dislike it at all and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."
Seeing that she was so happy to receive it, the Crown Princess was also very happy.
The mornings are very cool after the beginning of autumn, so Zhou Man and Bai Shan came on horseback in the morning. The Eastern Palace sent a carriage to take her things back. Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qianshi happened to be at home today. When they saw the carriage coming to the palace, they thought Manbao had received another reward and were wondering whether they should prepare an incense table or something.
As a result, the eunuch and two palace maids who drove the carriage took down four large bundles from the carriage. Manbao handed the horse to the doorman and picked up one himself.
Zhou Dalang reacted and quickly went to pick it up, asking, "What is this?"
"The little clothes that the Crown Princess gave to Sanniang and Lijun's children."
This is a common occurrence in the village, but usually only the mother's family is willing to give the child clothes that the child has only worn once. This not only saves money, but also brings good fortune.
Lian Xiao Qian thanked the palace maids and eunuchs repeatedly, and then touched her body. She had no habit of carrying money, so she touched Zhou Dalang.
Manbao was delighted to see this, so he took off his money bag and gave it to them. He then said to them, "It's almost time for lunch, so you can stay and have a meal before you go back."
The palace maids and eunuchs did not dare and quickly knelt down to refuse.
Manbao thought about it and didn't want to keep him. He nodded and said, "Then you can go back. Be careful on the road."
When Xiao Qian heard this, she immediately said, "If you don't want to stay for dinner, you can take some for the journey."
Before Manbao could stop them, Xiao Qian had already turned around and ran to the kitchen. After a while, she came out with several meat-filled pancakes wrapped in lotus leaves, and also served them soy milk in a bamboo tube.
She took a small basket from the porch, put everything in it, and then pressed it into their hands, saying with a smile, "It's freshly made, still warm. The meat is pork, so there's nothing you wouldn't like to eat, right?"
The palace maids and eunuchs were stunned.
Manbao swallowed his words of dissuasion and said to them with a smile: "Hurry up and take it. Eat it on the way and fill your stomach."
The three of them couldn't refuse the offer and had to accept it.
They got on the carriage and drove a long way before they came to their senses, and then they all looked at the things in the basket. So, should they eat... or not?
Thinking about the tasks he had to complete after returning to the palace, he had to report first. By the time they went to eat, it would be past mealtime, and he was afraid that there would only be leftovers, so he reached into the basket.
A palace maid said, "That's something from Dr. Zhou's house. It should be fine after eating it."
The other said, "I think it's okay too."
The eunuch was more cautious. "But the eunuchs in charge said that you are not allowed to eat food outside the palace when you are on business. If you have diarrhea, you will be sent directly to the epidemic prevention center."
The maid had already taken a bite, her eyes bright as she said, "Eat it quickly, it's delicious. If you get an upset stomach, Imperial Physician Zhou will be in the palace tomorrow. You can just quietly get some medicine from her then."
"Yes, I heard that Rong Si, who used to drive the carriage for Doctor Zhou, had also been sick before, and it was Doctor Zhou who treated him. He was not sent to the epidemic prevention center at all."
Manbao knew nothing about this, so she called Liu Sanniang, who was on vacation, and Zhou Lijun, who was waiting to give birth at home, to help her pick out things.
