The winter solstice is just around the corner.
Huan Yue is still in her postpartum confinement period, so she won't be attending the Heaven Worship Ceremony this year.
Raising babies at home is a source of endless joy.
The room was warm and cozy, and Huan Yue took a comfortable shower. The whole room smelled nice and clean.
The little boy woke up and finally saw his mother, even though he might not be able to see her clearly.
Huan Yue cleaned him up thoroughly; he just loved the little baby.
Yan Boxuan was extremely fond of his little cousin, and he sneaked in several times to see him.
Princess Yongmu caught up with him and asked, "How handsome is he?"
Yan Boxuan spoke the truth: "She's prettier than me."
Princess Changqing asked, "Do you feel you've fallen out of favor?"
Yan Boxuan was quite confident: "How could that be? I'm going to play with my younger brother."
Yan Dabao increasingly felt that he could be a qualified older brother and nephew. When he was little, he could barely walk and couldn't carry one person. Now, he could probably carry his tenth uncle. But if he wore too many clothes in the winter, his tenth uncle might not want him to carry him next spring.
Inside the room, Huan Yue was practicing the Eight Pieces of Brocade.
The room was small, so she made some modifications, and it's quite comfortable to practice in.
The child opened his eyes and looked at his mother, even though he couldn't see her from his angle.
Huan Yue came to see him. Did he remember practicing handstands in his mother's womb? Do you still remember the days of playing with the umbilical cord?
The little one closes her eyes and goes to sleep.
Huan Yue gave her a kiss; she was so sweet and soft that it was hard to kiss her too hard.
Princess Yongmu came in to see Qing'e and thought she was much better than Princess Huayang was back then.
Princess Yongmu casually remarked, "Giving birth to Fufu was a really difficult labor. She cried out for a long time, so I knelt down for her for a long time. Even during my postpartum confinement, I felt I had worked hard and punished a few people."
Huan Yue said, "It's probably related to her own actions, isn't it? Even if she gives birth to a son, he can't inherit the throne."
Who would scheme against her? If they had the guts, they would go straight for the Empress, but she doesn't have that kind of courage.
Princess Yongmu gave a faint, cold laugh. Now that everything is alright: "Giving birth to Bo Xuan wasn't easy either. The postpartum period and taking care of the baby were extremely tiring. I think it's better not to have children."
Huan Yue said, "Let the children be as they are."
Princess Yongmu nodded. The young imperial grandson is truly destined for this.
Huan Yue asked, "How are you all?"
The princess blushed slightly: "Yanzong said he didn't care, and Father Emperor said he would bestow a marriage after the New Year."
Huan Yue held her hand and said, "Don't lose hope. Some women marry three or five times before finding the right one. We're not harming anyone, we just want to have a better life and not compromise ourselves too much."
Princess Yongmu smiled and agreed.
Qing'e didn't want her to have a bad remarriage; she was simply there to support her.
Princess Yongmu must have had enough courage to have someone willing to support her like this.
She can live her life openly and without being coy.
After the New Year, Princess Changqing will be getting married.
A palace attendant came to report: "The Sima family, including the lady and young lady, requests an audience."
Huan Yue asked, "Who?"
The county magistrate of Changqing laughed loudly: "A bunch of monkeys. They're still jumping around happily when there's no tiger in the mountains. They have a lot of opinions about Sheng'an University, so they've gathered a lot of people, and even went to block Jinniu Mountain."
Huan Yue said, "To occupy the mountain and raise monkeys?"
"Hahaha, Princess Changqing laughed loudly! No, we've woken up the children."
It's alright, Ms. Yang is soothing the child, and the child is still asleep.
Princess Changqing lowered her voice and said to the Empress, "This family has always been somewhere in the middle, maybe even a little lower. The Dong family probably thinks they don't have much ability. They're lucky to have survived to this day and even made it to court. It seems like the Sima family's era has arrived! But it seems like they didn't really make it big, and they were criticized in court anyway."
Huan Yue said, "He does have some skill."
Princess Changqing nodded: "Sima Jian values elegance. What's the point of keeping the Wunu Kingdom if it's not well managed? Let it go. It's enough for Great Zhao to make its own territory elegant. He probably hasn't been to the countryside, or perhaps the countryside doesn't matter to him. As for the significance of attacking the Wunu Kingdom, he doesn't care."
Huan Yue asked, "Is he elegant when he poops? How did his mother give birth to him elegantly?"
Princess Changqing was about to burst into laughter again.
She held back, saying, "Since it wouldn't work anyway, I sent them home. But it seems to have given them courage."
Huan Yue said, "That kind of superiority complex from Chang Ziyu?"
Princess Changqing thought about it for a moment, and although it was complicated, it was about the same.
It's a very stupid thing, something that's completely incomprehensible.
In short, is this the kind of lady or young woman who comes to request an audience with the Crown Princess?
The eunuch remarked, "That Sima Wenxiu has quite a reputation."
Huan Yue asked, "So you're here to sell yourself? What would I need an elegant maid for?"
Princess Yongmu smiled and said, "You might need it. Doesn't everyone have their own strengths?"
Huan Yue said, "But I don't give her any room to maneuver here."
Princess Changqing was particularly direct: "Is this family still eyeing the palace?"
Huan Yue said, "Who isn't keeping an eye on the palace?"
I'm not going to say anything more.
Princess Changqing and Princess Yongmu went to Qiuxiang Courtyard to visit the three princes.
Hachiro is currently feeling down.
Jiulang kept smiling.
Juro was the happiest!
Oh, I have a nephew! My baby's become an elder! And he's not the youngest!
Princess Changqing wondered why he hadn't learned to walk yet.
The palace maid remained silent. When her nephew was celebrating his third-day birthday, so many people were watching, and he wouldn't leave even when called.
Juro doesn't learn to speak either, but he's very clever; that's just how bears are.
Hachiro used to bully him. The two brothers started fighting again.
Jiulang tried to mediate the dispute again.
Princess Yongmu was thoroughly amused!
"Third Sister!" Jiulang shouted, "Come quickly and help! He can't hold on any longer!"
Princess Yongmu doesn't interfere; it's more fun when the three brothers fight. It's not a fight to the death, just a lively spectacle.
Think about it, the Crown Prince, the King of Qi, and the King of Zheng could never have been this good.
Qian Meiren never looks at her son, and this son doesn't care about his mother at all. It's hilarious.
Qian Sha is one of the few in the palace to have a second child. If she were to have another son, there might be some trouble.
However, the fact that the eldest grandson of the emperor has already been born has had a significant impact.
After finishing his work, Di Baose came over to take a look.
She wasn't particularly close to the children. None of them were as much loved as the imperial grandson.
The three brothers were quite filial to their step-aunt, because she had a rather bad temper.
Di Baose felt that as long as everyone maintained a proper appearance, that was enough. She didn't mistreat the child and raised him well, which she considered virtuous.
These kids are quite unusual.
Hachiro probably treats everyone pretty much the same.
Jiulang probably treats everyone pretty much the same.
Juro is probably the same to everyone.
Anyway, neither of them are their biological mothers, Juro is still as mischievous as ever, and Kuro is still all smiles.
Princess Yongmu should leave now. It's good to have her own place to stay.
Upon exiting Xuande Gate, we encountered a group from the Sima family.
The ladies and young women hurriedly caught up with Princess Yongmu.
Tong Faran was angry. What was he doing? Daring to look down on the princess and feel superior?
Princess Yongmu told her to ignore it. Once she got home and closed the door, everything would be fine.
Tong Faran agreed. In Sheng'an, not many people dared to touch the princess. As long as they ignored her, no one could do anything to her.
After a while, the palace maid said to the princess, "They've gone to block the other door again."
