In the evening, several tables were set up at Shicui Hall, and everyone ate mutton hot pot together.
The house was warm, the lamb smelled delicious, and the women were at their most beautiful!
Ju Liangyuan is getting a little carried away by everyone's congratulations today: "Actually, I'm really fine, haha, I'll just grow more vegetables in the future."
Ren Zhaoxun said, "Grow corn! Boiled corn tastes delicious!"
Yu Anu said, "It's too spicy, I don't eat that spicy food."
Ren Zhaoxun laughed: "It's delicious. I eat it once in a while, and then have a bowl of soup afterwards."
Yu Anu still didn't want to eat anything too spicy, so she was given half a corn cob.
Fei Hegu smiled and said, "The rice grown in Changhe County is different. I wonder how it would be to grow corn?"
Di Baose said, "My family has placed an order with Changhe County, specifying the quantity and price of rice."
Ren Zhaoxun laughed and said, "The amount grown in Baishi Village isn't even enough to send over."
Ju Liangyuan suggested, "From now on, one ear of corn will cost one qian of silver. Let's see who looks down on farmers then. The land in Baishi Village is truly exceptional."
Di Baose said, "One qian of silver is not expensive."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded.
Many delicacies are much more expensive than that!
Regardless of how Baishi Village grows them, if you want to eat them, just spend money.
Yang Churong said, "Aren't we going to be unable to afford it?"
Di Baose said, "The Crown Prince will definitely have to pay money. So we won't raise prices or sell indiscriminately. We must cherish the food we eat."
Meng Pingting said, "The ones grown around here are just as good."
Guo Bing coldly replied, "There's no problem with the grain."
Cheng'en Hall.
Huan Yue sat at the table and ate a pot of corn stewed with pig's trotters.
The room was lit up, creating a very warm and cozy atmosphere.
Seeing that the Empress was indeed able to feed the young prince well, Lady Yang immediately sent two wet nurses to Consort Xing's quarters. She also dismissed two of the four old women who had been there, as the palace didn't need that many people. Each of them received a generous reward, and the situation was much more comfortable elsewhere than in the Eastern Palace.
Especially since His Highness has come again.
Seeing that the grandson of the emperor was asleep, Lady Yang went to discuss the matter of the baby's third-day celebration with Chaoyun.
The eldest grandson of the emperor, this third-day celebration needs to be held, but it shouldn't be too noisy.
Chaoyun was confident. When the sage sat there, few would dare to make a fuss.
A banquet was held in the Liubei Hall to entertain the imperial relatives.
Lady Yang didn't worry too much about it, since her job was to serve the Empress, not to manage the Eastern Palace.
The Empress is very easy to take care of during her postpartum period. Although there are some differences in habits, she has such a good temper.
Xie Zhou felt that he could actually stay.
Lady Yang watched as the Empress kicked her, but it was nothing; the Empress had a very good temper.
Xie Zhou went to see her father, the Emperor, and said she would come back after her confinement period was over.
Ji Shi was pleased. She felt that His Highness should still learn this skill; perhaps if he was disturbed a few times at night, he would no longer want to be bothered.
Lady Yang discussed with the Empress: "Shall we have the wet nurse take care of her tonight?"
Huan Yue smiled and said, "I'm fine."
Seeing her so weak and frail, Madam Yang felt extremely sorry for her. Perhaps the Pei family lacked a sense of security? And the Chang family offered no support either.
Lady Yang couldn't guarantee that the wet nurse would take good care of the child, mainly because the imperial grandson was very well-behaved.
Oh dear~~~ He calls for his mother when something happens.
Huan Yue held his son and doted on him, chatting with Yang Shi while feeding him: "This doting on him has become a habit, and you can't hit or scold him."
Lady Yang was speechless. The Empress Dowager was always worried about beating and scolding him, fearing that the child would grow up to be a bad person.
Madam Yang laughed and said, "This servant will be ruthless. I've beaten Di Shan quite a few times."
Huan Yue asked, "Was he very mischievous when he was a child?"
Madam Yang laughed and said, "If he weren't being kept in check, he'd probably be living the high life."
It wasn't that Yang was being arrogant; she had indeed nursed Di Shan and taken care of him.
Back then, Yang did indeed make contributions, but she was dutiful, which is why she held a position in the Di family.
Huan Yue smiled and said, "Mom, please keep an eye on things for me from now on."
Madam Yang smiled and said, "This servant thinks the imperial grandson is different; he is sensible and filial."
After Huan Yue finished feeding the child, the child slept peacefully, which seemed to be a good thing.
The Yang family is quite fond of them. Children shouldn't be talked about too much; for example, Di Shan was mischievous when he was young. But if taught well, he won't turn out badly.
With sons like Balang and Jiulang, Lady Yang was quite at ease and served the young imperial grandson with utmost care.
The little slave girl continued to work the night shift.
Chaoyun slept in the outer room. She had to keep an eye out for mice at night.
The entire city of Sheng'an was overjoyed by the eldest grandson of the emperor!
Jing Wei stays at home taking care of her son.
Chang Zihe was extremely excited.
Jing Wei comforted him, saying, "They say the birth went exceptionally smoothly; the Empress is destined for greatness." The imperial grandson is probably no ordinary person either.
Chang Zihe wanted to burn incense, praying that Heaven would bless the imperial grandson to grow up safely. It didn't matter if it was genuinely borrowing his son's luck, but it wouldn't do if it was fake.
Jing Wei didn't say, but the Empress did. Did she ask the child for permission?
Children should not be taken lightly; they have the right to make decisions, especially on important matters.
Zhai Minglan, quick-witted as ever, asked, "Does that mean I'm considered an older sister now?"
Yu Hui asked her, "Is this your first time being a big sister?"
Zhai Minglan exclaimed, "I'm a big sister again!" She whispered to her sister, "Will my mother be able to have a little brother?"
Yu Hui said, "Maybe. But it doesn't matter if it doesn't."
Zhai Minglan nodded: "I know, we women are not just there to give birth."
Chang Zihe assured him, "I have an uncle."
Zhai Minglan felt no pressure. She couldn't control other women, but she could control the Chang family and their relatives.
Jing Wei laughed and said, "Next year, will the fields be planted with sweet potatoes and corn?"
Chang Zihe calmly replied, "There are only so many fields; we'll plant as much as we can."
Zhai Minglan shouted, "I want to go back to farming!"
Jing Wei nodded: "I'm busy from the beginning of spring to the autumn harvest. If I'm free at the end of the year, I'll come to Sheng'an to learn more."
Zhai Minglan endorses it!
As Chang Zihe listened to her recite, his own talent seemed to be rekindled. This was probably the essence of combining farming and studying, and he was already quite content.
Guo Qi charged forward, sword in hand.
Several large rats!
Chang Zihe was protecting several children.
The thief, emboldened, lunged at Zhai Minglan.
One arrow from the roof, and it's down. Several more arrows follow, and they all fall down.
Guo Qi picked up his sword and went out again, looking for some work to do on this long winter night.
Lu Wenren came over and saw that Miss Guo was alright, given her rudimentary skills.
Guo Qi's martial arts skills are average, but his momentum cannot be weak! Did these rats eat snake gallbladders?
Lü Wenren's indifference was likely due to the struggles of the Wunu Kingdom.
The conquest of Wunu Kingdom was swift, but half of it remained, and a struggle was inevitable.
Lu Wenren made preparations to go and give the Wunu Kingdom another beating.
I must conquer the Kingdom of Wunu to crown myself!
Guo Qi didn't say much. She would go with her.
That's just how reality is. It's either you attack me or I attack you. Which idiot said you could subdue the enemy without fighting?
It's impossible not to fight; we must scare him into submission! He still tries to jump up and test us every now and then.
The influence of the eldest grandson of the emperor on the Wunu Kingdom can be viewed in this way: his birth means that there is a successor to the crown prince, which means that the Great Zhao will be more stable. A stable Great Zhao will become stronger. Therefore, the Wunu Kingdom, the Dashi Kingdom, and others will bully children.
Inside the house, Yu Hui and Zhai Minglan didn't need adults to help them sleep; the two sisters were enough to keep each other company.
They've even seen emperors in Baishi Village. Chang Zihan has become an empress.
So these are all minor matters; the two little girls are sleeping very well.
Jing Wei saw that they were all carefree and had their own stories to tell.
Who knows what the future holds?
