Chapter 399 Yixiu 17
On the day of the Second Prince's full moon banquet, Fu Jin still forced herself to show up, and even managed to hold up her body so that the other sisters-in-law present would not notice anything wrong.
Of course, she didn't lie to everyone, at least she couldn't hide it from Yixiu and Lady Juelu.
Yixiu sat in her seat. The people at her table were all concubines, so there was no awkwardness in talking. However, Yixiu was too lazy to pay attention to these social engagements in her life, so she just focused on eating and occasionally responded with a few words.
After a while, the atmosphere became more lively when the protagonist of today was brought over. However, when they saw the child's appearance, the praise became much more subtle.
"Oh, this child is so handsome. He will definitely be a handsome man when he grows up."
"Why would a man of our Qing Dynasty want to be a handsome man? If he wants to be one, he should be the future Baturu of the Qing Dynasty."
Everyone present is well versed in the art of speaking. Those who are on good terms with the Fourth Prince can naturally come up with a thousand nice things to say, and they can praise him sincerely and earnestly. Even if there was a grudge between them in the past, their words can be flawless, and you can't tell whether they are praising or scolding him.
Rouze could handle it, but she wasn't as calm as Yixiu. The wives in charge looked at each other, knowing what was going on.
After finally getting through the day, Rouze couldn't wait to see everyone off, and specially left her mother behind.
These concubines were also very tactful and left early, leaving Ninghua Hall to the mother and son.
Yixiu strolled home and found Yinzhen and Honghui in her courtyard. She hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects and was helped up by Yinzhen. "My master left early, and thinking that Honghui hadn't come to pay his respects to you for a while, I brought the children here to have dinner with you."
Yixiu naturally thanked him repeatedly. It was still early and there was still some time before dinner. Yinzhen brought Honghui here at this time, naturally with the idea of letting the child spend more time with his mother.
"My Lord, have you drunk a lot of wine today? I will help you change your clothes first."
As Yixiu spoke, she took Honghui's hand and asked Xiuxia to take him to the inner room to eat some fruit first. Then she turned around and went into the side room. As expected, she took out a set of casual clothes for Yinzhen to change into. The two of them walked into the inner room together. Jianqiu handed Yixiu a bowl of sobering soup, and Yixiu stuffed the soup into Yinzhen's hands.
"My Lord, drink this first to sober up, or you'll have a headache tomorrow."
Yinzhen hesitated for a moment while holding the porcelain bowl, but finally drank it all in one gulp with a frown. The strange smell immediately filled his nose, making his stomach churn. Yinzhen put down the medicine bowl and looked up to speak when he saw Yixiu holding a plate of preserved fruit. Seeing him looking at her, she quickly handed it to him:
"My Lord, the soup tastes a little strange because it's sweet."
"Mother, where is your son? He wants to have some sweet talk too."
Seeing his father and mother sitting together talking, Honghui ran over and threw himself into Yixiu's arms, his little mouth chattering and his round eyes looking at you. Even a stone would be softened by it, let alone Yixiu, who doted on him excessively.
She hurriedly hugged Honghui, carefully picked out a large, round candied plum from the celadon plate and fed it to her son. Seeing that his eyes were squinting with sweetness, she couldn't help feeling happy.
"Mother also likes to eat candied fruit to make her mouth sweet."
Honghui returned the favor by picking up some brown sugar pickled plums to feed his mother. The mother and son cuddled together affectionately, and Yinzhen, who was watching from the side, couldn't describe his feelings.
"Honghui, why don't you go and honor your father?"
Yixiu turned her head and saw Yinzhen staring at them. She immediately guessed that he was being stubborn again, so she patted her son on the shoulder and told him to go and coax his difficult father.
Honghui raised his head to look at his father, then at his mother, but he did not stand up. Instead, his big eyes were full of doubts: "But... Father has mother to feed him..."
As he spoke, he counted on his fingers in a serious manner: "Mother fed me, and I fed Mother; Mother fed Father, so it should be... it should be Father's turn to feed Mother. This way, everyone gets a turn without bias, which is fair."
"Oh, kid, why are you so serious? Like a pedantic old scholar. Why are you so serious?"
Yixiu had no choice but to cooperate and patted her son, lowering her head shyly.
Yinzhen's originally brewing emotions were interrupted by this. He raised his hand and called Honghui to his side. He raised an eyebrow and smiled at Yixiu, "What's so pedantic about this? I think Honghui has a point. People should be fair and impartial in their dealings with others in order to last. Come, let me feed you one. You've worked hard these days."
Yixiu had no choice but to take it. It tasted like wax in her mouth, so she swallowed it hastily. She looked down at her son, who was smiling at her ingratiatingly with his lips pursed, and sighed in her heart.
Mother and son are connected by heart. Since Honghui recovered, she no longer forced him to study hard every day as before, and the relationship between mother and son became close. However, the change in her attitude towards Yinzhen could not be hidden from the child.
Even when he was still young and ignorant, he vaguely felt his own subtle rejection of Yinzhen. Children are sensitive, and although they don't know the reason, they still instinctively desire love from their parents.
Yixiu actually knew that even if it was not for her son, but just for herself, she could not completely put aside the word "feelings".
Just look at what happened to you as a queen in your previous life, and you will know how different there is between a queen who is trusted by the emperor and has power, and a queen who has been deprived of her palace power and forced to recuperate.
Of course, Yixiu looked at the harmonious father and son with a smile, and thought silently in her heart that even if she really wanted to gain Yinzhen's trust and affection, she would not need to be as servile and hysterical as before.
As long as Yinzhen believes in her character and ability, she can also obtain these things.
At this moment, Su Peisheng suddenly walked in, saluted the two, and when he looked up, his face was filled with just the right amount of joy: "My Lord, someone from Chuyu Pavilion sent a message saying that Princess Li is pregnant!"
"Really? This is really good news. Lord Beile, would you like to go and take a look?"
Yixiu was stunned for a moment, but Li had a physique that was easy to get pregnant, and she rushed to the mansion because the concubine was pregnant. She had served her several times before, so her pregnancy was not surprising. She immediately put on an expression of surprise and looked at Yinzhen.
Today was the full moon celebration for his legitimate son, and he had nothing to do anyway. Since it was good news, Yinzhen nodded nonchalantly: "Then go and take a look."
After saying that, she stood up, took the warm hat handed to her by Huichun and put it on Yinzhen, then took out a silver mouse coat and put it on him, then took Honghui to salute together, and the mother and son watched him leave the yard and go to the east.
