Chapter 98 The Second Princess
There were a few kumquats on the emperor's desk.
This is the off-season planting method developed by Xu Xinshu.
They said that in the past, only the emperor could afford to eat two young melon vines, let alone kumquats.
Oh no, the emperor can’t afford it now, so he saves the money to make porridge for Bei Jingchu.
In winter, meat is easier to get than vegetables.
Then Xu Xinshu brought up a small basket of kumquats, and the emperor was very surprised.
But Bei Jingchu suspected that Xu Xinshu must have kept a portion of her residence for herself.
It’s just that Aye is embarrassed to ask for it.
The emperor was delighted to accept the kumquats, but said that it was meaningless to research such a technology that only the rich and powerful could use, and he should focus his time on increasing grain production.
Bei Jingchu sat on her little bed, stretching out her chubby little paws to reach the kumquats on the table.
[Closer, closer.]
【Just a little bit left. 】
“Pah.”
There was a slight sound, and the hand was hit.
[Bad guy! Tyrant! You actually hit the baby's hand! ]
【I don’t want to be with you anymore! 】
【Now you are happy, you cold-hearted person. 】
emperor:……
"Just eat it like this, it will make you sour."
"Your teeth have fully grown, so you want to chew? I'll make you some mashed fruit later."
When she heard that she could eat now, Bei Jingchu suddenly forgot about being angry about being spanked.
With her mouth open and only four small teeth, her smile is as sweet as a White Rabbit candy.
[Hehehe, Aye is the best~ I want to be the best in the world with you! 】
Emperor: You are more moody than I am.
He sighed. After taking care of the child for seven months, he felt like he had aged seven years.
How come his mother didn't die of rage after raising him like this?
This is a question worth pondering.
A young eunuch came in hurriedly and whispered something in Eunuch Jiang's ear.
After hearing this, Eunuch Jiang also looked anxious and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is about to give birth."
Bei Jingchu was excited: [Yeah? ]
[Is the second child coming? 】
The emperor stood up and prepared to go to the Sun Palace, but suddenly he remembered that he was so excited that he forgot about his baby.
Looking back, Bei Jingchu stretched out her arms towards him eagerly: [I want to go too, take me with you! ]
The emperor picked her up and wrapped her up. Although it was spring, it was still cold.
The concubine was giving birth in the main hall, and the emperor couldn't stand in the yard and blow the cold wind, so he waited in the side hall.
Bei Jingchu frowned speechlessly.
Even while waiting for the concubine to give birth, this hard-working father still brought a pile of memorials to read.
Ah this...
Is this the legendary busy schedule?
The position of emperor is simply not suitable for a human being.
It was the first time that Bei Jingchu saw a woman giving birth. Many basins of blood and water were brought out, and basins of clean water were brought in.
But no one heard Concubine Shu shouting.
She wondered: [Why is there no sound? ]
[Could it be that he fainted? ]
The emperor looked at the confused little guy in confusion, staring at him with his eyes wide open.
Why is there a need for sound? Giving birth isn't about shouting.
Perhaps because this was Concubine Shu's second birth, this time the delivery ended very quickly.
"Your Majesty, mother and daughter are safe!"
"Congratulations to your Majesty on the birth of the princess!"
Although he wanted a prince more, he was satisfied with having one more living child.
The emperor only heard the baby crying when he walked over.
Unlike the loud cry when he was just born that made his ears hurt, this child cried like a kitten.
He was really worried about whether he could survive.
He hugged her for a moment, frowned and said, "It's too light. How did Yang Cainu manage to keep the baby alive?"
Everyone then realized that because of the conspiracy to murder the eldest princess, Concubine Shu had been demoted to a concubine from the moment she gave birth to the dragon fetus.
Bei Jingchu stretched her neck in Grandpa Jiang's arms to see her sister.
【Eh~ so ugly.】
【Why does it look like one? 】
Behen: Are you polite?
I always feel that what you said is not a good word.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter if my own sister dislikes me for a while.
She can't hear it anyway.
The emperor ordered: "Take the second princess to the princess palace."
Bei Jingchu knew what the Princess Palace was.
When she was just born, someone asked why she was not sent to the princess palace.
Except for the Empress and the six concubines and nine imperial concubines, other concubines were not allowed to bring children with them.
Because when high-ranking concubines raise their children, their biological mothers still subsidize the children, but for low-ranking concubines, the monthly salary is far less than that of princesses and princes.
Maybe he would even ask the child to stick to the concubine.
So the princess was sent to the Princess Palace and the prince was sent to the Qianqiu Palace.
Bei Jingchu held her chins in her hands and thought: [Why is the name of the place where the princess lives so straightforward, while the name of the place where the prince lives is so nice? ]
After thinking for a while and still unable to come up with any idea, Bei Jingchu decided to give up.
In the main hall, after Yang Cainu gave birth, she forced herself to ask the maid who came in, "How is it?"
"What is your Majesty's reaction?"
The maid answered truthfully: "His Majesty was very angry when he saw that the Second Princess was weak."
Yang Cainu gritted her teeth. She would rather believe that someone was unlucky for her child than to believe that she was just unlucky and gave birth to a sickly daughter.
But the facts were before her eyes. The so-called monk was a liar, and she had no choice but to accept the reality.
Seeing that the second princess had not been brought in, she asked hopefully, "Where is the second princess?"
"Why didn't you bring it in?"
"Is it because Your Majesty is worried about this that he has decided to take care of it himself?"
The palace maid held back for a moment before she could respond calmly, "No, the princess has been sent to the Princess Palace."
"What!"
If she hadn't just given birth, she would have been able to jump up.
"Your Majesty, why did you send this child that I carried for ten months to the Princess Palace?"
The maid reminded her: "Yang Cainu, a Cainu cannot bring the princess with him. This is the rule."
"And now you can no longer call me this palace."
Yang Cainu couldn't believe it: "What did you call me?"
"Yang Cainu, His Majesty has ordered that you have murdered the eldest princess and be demoted to Cainu. You will be executed after giving birth."
"I asked you to keep it a secret so that you wouldn't get pregnant."
"You don't really think that harming the princess can be easily covered up, do you?"
After hearing this, Yang Cainu ignored her postpartum weakness and tried hard to stand up and get out of bed.
"Impossible, you must be talking nonsense. I first gave birth to a prince for His Majesty, and now I am giving birth to a princess for His Majesty."
"Your Majesty can't do this to me. I want to go find His Majesty."
But the palace maids did not stop her; they were all busy cleaning the main hall.
After they finished packing, they left.
Cai Nu does not have personal maids, and Yang Cai Nu is no longer their master.
Yang Cainu stood up and put her feet on the ground. She had no strength left as she had just given birth.
Just fell down.
But the palace maids around her just watched coldly, and no one came to help her.
It was nothing like when she was still pregnant. This group of people surrounded her, afraid that she would get hurt.
Yang Cainu smiled foolishly, it turned out that it was a later settlement of the score.
She thought that His Majesty would give her a chance for the sake of the royal heir.
Suddenly, she thought of something.
"Where is the Yang family?"
