Because Gao Shanru was going to the palace to pay a visit, the empress specially invited the noble concubine Wei to come over, and also said: "The Gao family is also a famous family in Huayang. The girl is beautiful and talented. The noble concubine must have seen her before. With her company in the future, I believe you will not be lonely in the fiefdom."
The noble concubine thought to herself, it is really a different time now. In the past, the Korean princess would never dare to speak to her like this, but now she treats her like a subordinate and speaks to her impolitely.
But since ancient times, victorious kings defeat bandits, and if you lose, you have to admit it.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your kindness."
The Queen raised her hand and said, "As the eldest sister-in-law of the Prince of Qi, this is what I should do. As long as the Noble Concubine does not blame me."
How could the noble concubine say anything? She was at the mercy of others and could only let it go. This empress was not Empress Dowager Shen, who always had to save face. She was a well-known ruthless person. Even the emperor listened to her all the time, let alone herself.
But the noble concubine was indeed very satisfied with Gao Shanru. This woman was dignified and generous, and seemed to have a good fortune to be famous in Beijing. Although she was naughty when she was young, she behaved in a generous manner now. She was already a very good candidate.
Although Gao Xiang is not valued now, he still has many students and old friends, so he may have a chance to rise in the future.
"Your humble servant and my little daughter are here to pay their respects to Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty the Dowager Consort." Madam Gao and Gao Shanru knelt down to pay their respects.
The Queen smiled and said, "Get up quickly. I like your daughter the moment I see her. She is of noble character and worthy of being born into a noble family! She is worthy of being the wife of Prince Qi. Prince Qi is the Emperor's brother. The Emperor has already asked the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Clan Court to give the Princess Qi a dowry. This match is truly a blessing for Prince Qi."
Mrs. Gao naturally thanked him again and again.
So the Gao family mother and daughter thanked him and prepared to marry to Qi.
Now that the matter was settled and there was no going back on it, the Queen breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone in the world experiences birth, aging, sickness and death, and Yurong is no exception. One day, she was having dinner with Wei Xuanning when her stomach suddenly tightened. She probably knew that she was about to give birth.
"Brother Xuan Ning, please call the pregnant woman over quickly. I think I'm about to give birth."
Wei Xuanning's hands, which were originally holding the meal, suddenly went limp and the chopsticks fell down.
The maids around him reacted faster than him. Bi Tao and La Mei teamed up to carry Yu Rong to the bed. Li Rui went outside to ask for a midwife. For a moment, it seemed that everyone was doing their job and everything was in order.
He was even pushed out, as it was said that men were not allowed to be in the delivery room.
Although she had expected that childbirth would be painful, Yurong still felt pain when she experienced it again. She had a slim figure and her hips were not wide, so childbirth was very painful. The pain was probably ten times more painful than the pain of daily life.
"ah……"
She couldn't help but scream, and Wei Xuanning, who was outside, rushed in immediately.
Yurong seemed to have never been like this before. Her face was pale, her forehead was covered with sweat, her lips were trembling, and several women were watching her lower body. Wei Xuanning's hands and feet suddenly felt cold.
"Yurong, Rongrong, I'm here, it's okay."
He held her hand tightly. Yurong saw that it was him who came. Her hand felt warm from being held and she smiled weakly.
The midwives hurriedly said, "Grandma, you still need to push harder. You've reached the end. Push harder quickly. Take a deep breath and push harder..."
Yurong took a deep breath, held Wei Xuanning's hand tightly, and applied force downwards. She heard something sliding out from below. She heard someone say "she gave birth" in her ear, and then she fainted from exhaustion.
…
There has never been a day when Wei Xuanning knew so clearly how difficult it is to have a daughter and give birth to a child. Even though the midwives were chattering about asking for rewards, he had no interest in letting his subordinates make arrangements.
The old ladies were still wondering, "What's wrong with the eldest son? The eldest lady gave birth to a son, which should be the happiest thing, but why doesn't he look happy?"
"Who cares? Just give me a generous reward."
"That's true, but it's not right for the eldest son to stay with the eldest grandmother all the time. A man shouldn't be in the delivery room."
"Shut up, stop talking."
After a few hours, Wei Xuanning urged the doctor to prescribe medicine. He personally fed the medicine to the unconscious Yurong and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Seeing that Yurong was not even willing to leave, Li Rui tried to persuade her, "Master, we can just wait here. Why do we need you to stay here?"
They have to clean the dirt from the private parts and wipe the body of the grandmother. These are the things that the maids have to do. It is not good for the eldest master to be here.
But Wei Xuanning said, "No need, I will arrange it. Just tell me what you want to do."
Li Rui refused hesitantly, "Master, how can you trouble yourself with such a dirty thing?"
"What do you mean by dirty things? Yurong's affairs are not dirty things to me."
His behavior not only shocked Li Rui, but also Yu Rong's maid Bi Tao advised: "Young Master, if you act like this, even our eldest grandmother will be embarrassed when she wakes up."
Wei Xuanning said calmly: "Then don't tell her. You guys are not as attentive as I am."
…
His hands had never served anyone before since he was born, but he served Yurong very well for the first time. Unfortunately, Yurong was asleep the whole time, and when she woke up, she felt that her body was no longer sticky, and she felt refreshed.
Bi Tao was the first to find Yu Rong awake. She said in surprise, "Grandma, you finally woke up. I asked the wet nurse to bring the young master to you. The young master is very healthy."
"Where is Brother Xuan Ning?" Yu Rong asked Wei Xuan Ning first.
Bi Tao smiled secretly: "Our eldest master has been guarding your bed for several days. He just went back and said he was going to change clothes before coming back. You don't know that the eldest master has been serving you alone these days, even the evil dew..."
"Really?" Yurong was a little nervous, but also a little surprised. She asked Bitao in a low voice, "Does he feel disgusted with me?"
She never thought that Wei Xuan Ning would go to this extent. It seemed that his love for her was too heavy, especially for a person who loved beauty so much to serve her without changing clothes for several days. Was her charm really that great?
"When the eldest master was serving you, all the servants were out, so I don't know."
However, Bi Tao smiled and said, "If he had given up, the eldest master would have left long ago."
"Then bring the ointment now. I still smell bad. Hurry up. Brother Xuan Ning will be here soon. Little girl, what are you laughing at? Go quickly." Yu Rong was very anxious, fearing that Wei Xuan Ning would come soon.
Bi Tao had no choice but to go to the dressing box to get the perfume. She felt something was wrong, but she didn't know what it was. After closing the dressing box, she realized that the first thing a young lady should do after waking up after giving birth was to see the young master. Why was she looking for this perfume?
