Chapter 282 You smell so good
Summer is hard to bear, but autumn passes by especially quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the two little guys are nearly two months old. They are two or three times bigger than when they were born. Besides just eating and sleeping, and crying when sleeping, they now respond to being called by their names.
The full names needed to be screened by the Ministry of Rites before Yun Ji could choose them. Since they hadn't been chosen yet, Su Rui gave the two of them nicknames.
According to that dream, the eldest was called Jintuan and the second was called Yintuan, which meant gold and silver, and were both rich and noble, and they were also Su Rui's favorite colors.
The eldest brother, Jin Tuan, responded positively to his nickname and would giggle when it was called.
That laughter made everyone laugh along.
The second son, Yin Tuan, was just the opposite. He had no reaction to his nickname and never laughed no matter how he was teased. Instead, he always had a frown on his face. Despite his young age, he looked bitter and resentful, as if something did not satisfy him.
Because they are older, the two little ones seem to have more emotions and fight more often.
As always, it was the gold group that provoked the silver group. As long as they lay together or hugged each other close, the gold group seemed to be restless and had to touch and grab the silver group to feel comfortable.
Most of the silver groups ignored him at the beginning and let him do whatever he wanted, but this kid was always pushing others too far. The less others resisted, the more he stepped on them. The silver group got anxious and beat the gold group with one move, making them cry.
Look, today it was a slap in the face.
The small hand slapped Jin Tuan's face accurately. Although the hand was not big, the force was strong enough to make a sound. A small red slap mark appeared on Jin Tuan's fair and tender face.
All of a sudden, Jin Tuan was stunned, and it took him a long time before he remembered to cry.
She felt so wronged that she cried so hard that the earth shook.
"You deserve it! You've been so busy all day." Su Rui wasn't going to indulge them at all. The idea of "the crying baby gets the milk" didn't work for her. "Separate them from now on."
Du Luo'e and Xiaoru, holding their children, immediately took a step back to distance the two brothers, and deeply agreed with Su Rui's words that these two little enemies would never be allowed to stay together in the future.
After the separation, the Silver Group didn't react at all, but the Gold Group pouted, looking aggrieved.
Su Rui ignored him. The boy's temper came and went quickly, and he was smiling again in a moment.
Everyone knew it, so no one paid any attention to him.
Holding the already heavy silver in her hand, Luo E thought for a moment and said worriedly, "Concubine, the prince is still so busy now. The full moon celebrations for the young masters haven't been held yet. We can't not hold one within the hundredth day."
Su Rui also knew that it would be inappropriate if she didn't do anything for the two little ones during these hundred days.
In Da Zhao, the children had three banquets.
The third day bath, the full moon and the hundredth day.
Generally, the powerful and wealthy hold three banquets, while ordinary officials and some wealthy families hold two, for the third day bath and the hundredth day, or the full moon and the hundredth day. Ordinary people will also hold one.
Because Su Rui fell unconscious due to hemorrhage after giving birth to the two babies, no one had the heart to hold a third day bath for the two little ones.
After Su Rui woke up, Yun Ji was busy again. After Prince Long and Marquis Yong'an were charged with crimes and all the necessary matters were dealt with, Yun Ji became even busier.
Queen Lin and the Lin family lost the support of Prince Long, and Yun Ji returned victorious and won over General Tang and Old Grand Tutor Wang. The minds of many people in the court changed, especially some old ministers who had not taken sides in the first place. Although they did not say it explicitly now, everyone could see in secret that they had followed Old Grand Tutor Wang and stood on Yun Ji's side. What's more, Old Grand Tutor Wang had many students all over the world.
Now, Yun Ji and the Lin family have become two separate forces, and the undercurrent is even more turbulent. What's more, Yun Ji is now the general of Yanzhou. Although Yanzhou and Shengjing are not far apart, it is not easy to go back and forth. In addition, various affairs are constantly coming, and Yun Ji often does not even have time to enter the palace when he returns to Shengjing.
In the past month, the number of times I came back could be counted on two hands, and the number of times I stayed overnight could be counted on one hand.
Su Rui had to stay in bed for two months, and Yun Ji was too busy to have time, so the full moon celebration was not held.
But if we don’t do it within a hundred days, it will be unfair to the two little ones, and people outside will probably make a fuss about it.
"The hundred-day ceremony must be held, even if the prince is busy. We can start preparing next month." By then she would have been out of confinement, and it would be best if Yun Ji was not busy. If he was busy, she could handle it herself.
"We need to use some valuables to suppress evil spirits during the Hundred Days, Concubine, would you like to use the tribute from Dongyue?"
Su Rui glanced at Luo E and understood that she wanted to show that Yun Ji had defeated Dong Yue, and that she could afford to give the tribute sent by Dong Yue to the two little ones to suppress the evil spirits.
There was actually not much tribute. It was from the Dongyue Kingdom, after a brief struggle for the throne, when some died and some fled. Finally, the eldest princess supported her young brother to ascend the throne.
The eldest princess was a very capable person. Since ancient times, it has been easy to ascend to the throne but difficult to maintain it, let alone a young emperor. However, after the eldest princess was named the Princess Regent, she acted decisively and ruthlessly. In half a month, she eliminated all the opposition forces and did not even spare a dog in the mansion.
With decisive killing, he quickly calmed down the chaotic Dongyue. Without waiting for them to recuperate, he turned around and began to make external contacts. The first one he contacted was Da Zhao, which had just fought a not-so-glorious battle.
The eldest princess generously acknowledged Dong Yue's actions, and wiped out all the forces that colluded with Prince Long, and sent the tribute and heads of those people to Da Zhao as an apology.
Yun Ji was the commander-in-chief at the time and also a first-rank prince, so naturally a portion of the tribute was sent to Prince Yong's mansion.
Su Rui personally examined the items. There weren't many, but everything was valuable, which showed that Dongyue was very wealthy.
This apology also comes with a warning.
"Just use that one. Put the things you'll need for the 100-day holiday in a separate warehouse. Be careful." Su Rui said as he took out the key to the warehouse from the secret cabinet beside the bed and handed it to Luo E.
Luo E took the key and was about to put the silver consortium downstairs to do her business when someone came in from outside.
"This room smells so good, Concubine."
It was Yue Heyun, who came in with Tang Yuli.
When she mentioned the fragrance, Xiaoru immediately sniffed it, but when she didn't smell any fragrance, she said, "Miss Yue, are you smelling it wrong? There's no incense in the house."
"I've smelled a lot of spices now, so I can't be wrong." Yue Heyun walked closer and sniffed again, saying, "It's the fragrance of lotus, coming from the concubine."
Xiaoru immediately sniffed towards Su Rui, and indeed seemed to smell a hint of the lotus fragrance. However, since she took care of Su Rui personally, she knew that there was not only no incense in the house these days, but also no sachets hanging, and Su Rui had no spices on her body. How could there be the fragrance of lotus?
In fact, Su Rui had already smelled this fragrance. Ever since she woke up, there was a hint of fragrance on her body, but it was very faint. Even she had to smell it carefully to distinguish it.
Perhaps because it was some of the life-saving medicine given to her by Abbot Kongming, she ignored it, thinking it would dissipate as she looked away. However, it has been nearly two months now, and instead of dissipating, it has become even stronger. Now even others can smell it.
“Hmm…mm…”
Just when I was thinking that this matter still needed to be resolved, a humming sound was heard. I looked over and saw that Jin Tuan had been held in Tang Yuli's arms without me knowing when. His little head was pressed against her and he kept nodding as if he was telling her about the grievances he had suffered.
