Liang Luochu chatted with Ye Jinyun for a while, and seeing that it was almost time, he took his leave and went to the banquet.
After she left, Ye Jinyun fed her children once more, and then went to Qiongxiang Pavilion with Lin Qingtang, the wet nurse and others.
There were so many people attending the full moon banquet for the twins that all three floors of Qiongxiang Pavilion were filled with wine tables.
The royal family is naturally at the highest level.
After Ye Jinyun arrived, he went to the side hall to wait for Mo Qiyuan as usual. After he finished dealing with government affairs and came over, they went upstairs to take their seats together.
Ye Jinyun sat on a high seat, looking down at the people attending the banquet below, and saw a few figures that surprised her.
"Your Majesty, have you even invited Dr. Cui?"
Mo Qiyuan smiled, "I did ask General Lin to send a letter to Dr. Cui. I originally thought he would refuse, but he happened to be traveling near the capital recently, treating difficult and complicated diseases for people. After learning about this, he rushed to the capital.
He told General Lin that he and you were destined to be together, and he also heard that you had given birth suddenly, and was worried that your health would be affected. He said that after the banquet, he would take your pulse and give you a checkup.
Ye Jinyun laughed dryly after hearing this.
Are you afraid that she might get hurt?
Cui Ya clearly wanted to see if his childbirth was different from others, but that was nothing. If he was curious, he could take her pulse.
"My Lady, the little princess's diaper is dirty. I, along with the nurse, will take her to the back to clean and change her."
Yin Zhu walked up to Ye Jinyun and said.
Ye Jinyun looked at his daughter and saw that her face was flushed and she was a little restless. She must have pooped.
So he nodded and said, "Go, be careful and don't let anyone get close to the princess."
Yin Zhu agreed. Although there were no concubines in the palace now, it was still better to be careful.
So he called a number of people to go to the back hall together, and quickly cleaned the little princess and changed her into a clean diaper.
However, when dressing the little princess, the wet nurse was not careful and scratched her delicate skin with her fingernails, which immediately hurt the delicate little baby.
She cried in a low voice, "wa, wa".
Ye Jinyun was sitting in the front and had excellent hearing. He heard that his daughter seemed to be crying, so he immediately stood up and took people to the back hall to check.
"What's going on? Why is the princess crying?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was not careful in my work. I accidentally scratched the little princess with my fingernail and made her cry."
The wet nurse who was feeding the little princess begged Ye Jinyun for mercy.
Ye Jinyun stepped forward and held her daughter in her arms to comfort her. Upon hearing this, she looked at the wet nurse's nails. They were not very long, but her daughter's skin was as delicate as hers, and she was even more delicate as a baby, so it was easy to hurt her if she was not careful.
So he did not get angry, but just said to the wet nurse calmly:
"Be careful next time. The little princess has delicate skin. Try to keep her nails rounded."
The wet nurse nodded repeatedly in agreement, and Ye Jinyun carried her daughter back to the front hall.
"Yun'er, what's wrong? Why is my baby Xi'er crying?"
The Queen Mother was sitting aside when she saw Ye Jinyun coming back from the back hall holding her lovely granddaughter, who was still sobbing softly.
"Mother, Xi'er is fine. She just accidentally scratched herself with her fingers while changing clothes. Her skin is delicate and doesn't feel any pain."
Speaking of this, Ye Jinyun felt a little headache.
She discovered that her daughter had inherited many aspects of her personality, even her fear of pain. Once, her older daughter wanted to be intimate with her younger sister, but accidentally pinched her hand a little too hard, which immediately made the little girl cry.
Her brother was startled, his little face was full of anxiety, and tears welled up in his eyes, as if expressing his inner grievances.
It was only after Ye Jinyun held him and coaxed him for a long time that the little man finally let go of his grudge.
"Which slave girl is so careless in her actions? Drag her out and chop her off!"
Ye Jinyun's eyebrows jumped. She knew that the empress dowager loved her daughter very much, but there was no need to spoil her like this.
It seems that she will have to teach these children well in the future. What if they grow up to be bad because of being spoiled too much? She doesn't want her children to become those arrogant and domineering princes and nobles.
"Mother, the wet nurse didn't do it on purpose, and she has been very dedicated in taking care of Xier. Please don't be angry."
After saying that, Ye Jinyun kicked Mo Qiyuan and asked him to say something too, so as not to let the Queen Mother execute the wet nurse for such a trivial matter.
Mo Qiyuan understood and immediately followed her words:
"Yes, mother, Xier is used to this wet nurse taking care of her. If she is executed, the child will be so young and someone else will definitely not be used to taking care of him. That will make you even more distressed."
The Queen Mother agreed with what she heard. Children use smell to distinguish familiar people. If the wet nurse was really executed and replaced by someone else, it would probably affect the healthy growth of her granddaughter.
"Alright, then, let her live. However, she should still be punished for her careless behavior. Guizhi, take that wet nurse away and slap her in the face twenty times to teach her a lesson."
Ye Jinyun frowned and wanted to persuade her again, but seeing the empress dowager's unquestionable look, he swallowed the words on his lips.
Forget it, let's just take this as a lesson for this wet nurse. This time she accidentally scratched her daughter with her nails. If I plead with her again and again, it will only make her think that I am easy to talk to. What if she is even more careless when taking care of the child in the future and something happens?
The palace still needs to show the royal power.
Nanny Guizhi took the order and took the wet nurse, who looked like she was begging for mercy, out of the hall and slapped her in the face.
After slapping her in the face, he didn't let her return to the banquet, saying that the slap marks on her face didn't want to scare the little princess. He threw her a bottle of medicine and told her to go back and apply it, and then go back to take care of the little princess after her wounds healed.
The wet nurse looked aggrieved and was taken out of Qiongxiang Pavilion holding the medicine bottle.
On the corridor, Concubine Qi, who was holding Princess Yuanjia's hand to get some fresh air, looked at the back of the wet nurse who left sobbingly, her eyes full of complicated expressions.
After a while, she moved her lips:
"Suzaku, take the princess here to play for a while. I'll be right back."
"yes."
Afterwards, Concubine Qi walked in the direction where the wet nurse had left.
Behind her, she didn't see the maid Suzaku whom she had just called, and she was also looking at her with a complicated expression, her eyes full of worry and hesitation.
Back to the table
The Queen Mother was holding Ye Jinyun's daughter and talking to Yuan Jia.
Seeing Concubine Qi coming back from outside, she asked, "Concubine Qi, where have you been just now? Yuanjia couldn't find you, so she insisted on asking me to take her to look for you."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Qi suppressed her panic and said with a smile:
"I just saw some butterflies in the garden and wanted to catch some quietly to surprise Jia'er. However, I was so clumsy that I didn't catch any. Instead, a branch scratched my sleeve, so I went to change my clothes before returning."
