Chapter 399 Excitement
That's true. No one knew when Concubine Jiang and the Second Master went out to have an affair. Besides, the prince was busy with military affairs. By the time they went out and caught him cheating, he would have already finished his work.
Moreover, she was an impatient person. Once she was sure that Concubine Jiang and the Second Master were having an affair, she could not wait to tell the prince about it. Even though the prince had no idea how many years he had been cuckolded by Concubine Jiang and the Second Master, ten days, half a month, or even a month or two would not make a difference.
Chen Tang looked at Xie Guimo, "Can you give the Second Master and Concubine Jiang drugs?"
Xie Guimo pinched Chen Tang's nose, "That's exactly what your husband meant."
Ever since the princess fell ill, the prince moved into the Peony Courtyard to take care of her and has been staying with her ever since.
Forced by the princess to take Concubine Jiang as his co-wife, the prince was so angry that he slept on a small couch for two days. Later, he asked Prince Ning for help. The emperor issued an edict to grant the marriage and made the matter vague, and the princess softened her attitude.
Giving the Second Master drugs might not be of much use, but if you give Concubine Jiang some aphrodisiac drugs, the Prince will not go to her, and Concubine Jiang can only go to the Second Master.
The prince will never tolerate the second wife doing such a thing and will definitely drive her out of the palace. The second and fourth wives will be separated out, and the third wife will not be kept either.
At that time, the Jingyang Palace was quiet.
It would be best if these things could be completed before she gives birth, otherwise she would not be able to leave Chenxiangyuan to watch the fun when the birth is imminent.
She wanted to eat the fresh melon firsthand.
Chen Tang, "..."
…
A good night's sleep.
The next day, when Chen Tang woke up, Ginkgo and Qiu Tong brought in a copper basin to help her get up.
If the two maids Ginkgo and Qiutong had not changed their hair styles, Chen Tang would have been in a trance, suspecting that the bustle in Chenxiang Pavilion yesterday was just a dream.
Chen Tang asked, "Didn't I give you two days off? Why are you back?"
The maids Yinxing and Qiutong blushed, "Usually, we are the ones who serve the Crown Prince's Consort. We are worried about letting Fourth take care of the Crown Prince's Consort."
Si'er is lively and good at finding out information, which Ginkgo and Qiutong feel inferior to. If Si'er was taking care of Chen Tang normally, they would be relieved, but the Crown Prince's Consort is about to give birth and there can be no mistakes. They must be by her side to feel at ease. Besides, after the wedding, there is nothing else to do, so they still like to stay by the Crown Prince's Consort's side.
Chen Tang asked them to go back, but the two maids refused to leave. Chen Tang had no choice but to let them go.
After breakfast, Chen Tang and Xie Guimo went to the main hall, where Ginkgo Chen Qi and Qiu Tong Chen Shan knelt down to serve them tea.
Chen Tang gave each of them a big red envelope, which made the two maids so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
The two maids were married, but it was no different from being unmarried. Normally, Chen Tang did not let them keep watch at night. After Chen Tang and Xie Guimo went to bed, Ginkgo Qiutong and the others returned to the small courtyard behind the palace and got up at the same time as usual.
After Chen Tang became ill, the princess no longer allowed her to go to the Peony Banquet to pay respects, but instead came to Chenxiang Pavilion to see Chen Tang at irregular times every day.
Sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening, but I always have to come and check it out to feel at ease.
After the princess recovered, she stopped letting Chen Tang be the housekeeper because she was afraid that he would be tired. Chen Tang was naturally happy that the princess could take back the housekeeper's power, but he was a little hesitant because he was afraid that the princess would tire him out. However, that hesitation was dispelled by the princess' words, "Mother is not as easy to talk to as before. In the future, the housekeeper will not be as tired as before."
After the princess said this, Xie Guimo decisively asked the maid to give the account book and keys to the princess.
On this day, the embroidery room sent a bunch of things, all prepared for the baby in her belly, all kinds of small clothes and shoes, so exquisite that people couldn't take their eyes off.
Although Chen Tang also made some for the child, her body was too heavy and her waist would ache after sitting for a while. Xie Guimo also did not allow her to embroider. It took Chen Tang ten days or half a month to finish embroidering a small bellyband. She would just tell the embroidery room what she wanted.
The embroidery room has prepared more than a hundred pieces of small clothes, which are big enough for children to wear until they are six months old. If not, the embroidery room can make them at any time.
The baby should be born in less than half a month, so Chen Tang asked the maid to wash, dry and put away the baby's clothes and shoes.
She was holding the tiger-head shoes and the tiger-head hat to look at them, and Si'er came in and said, "Princess, the princess is here."
Almost as soon as Si'er finished his report, the princess came in.
Chen Tang wanted to stand up and salute, but she couldn't get up without the help of a maid. The princess had already stopped her from standing up and saluting. Chen Tang said, "My mother is here."
The princess said, "The baby is about to be born, and it's time to decide on a wet nurse."
Chen Tang nodded, "I will listen to my mother."
The princess laughed, "Although the nurse is responsible for taking care of the child, she also has to suit your temper."
Chen Tang said, "The person chosen by mother will definitely not be bad."
The princess was very concerned about the two little ones in her belly, but she, because of the princess's preparations, just sat back and did nothing.
The wet nurse for the little prince of the Jingyang Palace had to be chosen carefully. The princess was not very confident about the people invited from outside the palace, so she first selected the people from her own farm, and there was actually a suitable one.
"There is a woman in my mother's farm who gave birth last month. She is of good age and character. There are also two women in the farm of the Duke of Zhenguo who gave birth two months ago. Let them enter the mansion tomorrow and choose two of them to stay in the mansion for half a month. That's just right."
Only if you eat well can your breast milk be nutritious. The food on the farm is definitely not as good as that in the palace.
Chen Tang nodded in agreement to the princess's arrangement.
The next morning, he met the three wet nurses, all of whom were around twenty-two or twenty-three years old. Chen Tang chose the one from the princess's farm and the one from the farm of the Duke of Zhenguo. The other one who was not chosen was a little disappointed. It was a blessing for them to be the wet nurse of the young master and young lady of the Jingyang Palace.
Chen Tang didn't let her make the trip in vain and rewarded her with ten taels of silver, and the matter of the wet nurse was settled.
The midwives invited to deliver the baby are the two who delivered Madam Huo. Of course, Zhao Yuanzheng will also be invited to be there just in case.
Mrs. Huo suffered from hemorrhage after giving birth, and her life was saved because of the timely treatment of the imperial physician. After this matter spread, families in Kyoto who could afford it would invite the doctor into the house when their daughter gave birth, and this doctor actually saved several lives.
Everything that needs to be prepared is ready, and we are just waiting for Chen Tang to have the attack and give birth to the child.
Chen Tang also looked forward to seeing the two children as soon as possible, but the closer the due date got, the more worried she became, fearing the pain of childbirth.
She is the kind of person who would cry out in pain if she were pricked by an embroidery needle.
That day, Xie Guimo accompanied Chen Tang in walking in the yard. After walking for a while, he returned to the house tired. As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, Chen Qi came over and whispered, "Master, Concubine Jiang has left the house..."
I have finally waited for this day.
Shen Tang was more excited than giving birth to a child.
She looked at Xie Guimo eagerly.
Xie Guimo saw what she wanted to do at a glance, "Don't think about it, I dare not take you to watch the fun, just wait for me in the mansion."
Chen Tang really wanted to go, but now she was too scared to even leave Chenxiangxuan, and Xie Guimo was too nervous to even think about leaving the house.
"Then go ahead and come back early."
