Chapter 186 Cousin The
person who will go to the Kingdom of Chao to marry has been chosen, and the people of Chao will set off soon.
So, this is another farewell party.
Of course, several members of the Shen family also have to leave the imperial city together.
This time when Shen Changjing came back, Jing Xiuyuan in the palace naturally had a chance to shine.
Of course, it is glorious in itself. Getting promoted while pregnant is a glorious thing.
At the farewell banquet, the emperor toasted Prince Chaoguo and also toasted Shen Changjing.
Shen Changjing was very nervous and naturally drank too much.
The next day was the day when the people from Chao set off.
In Fengzao Palace, the queen went to bed early. She had been away from the court for many years and she no longer missed many people.
The Crown Prince called her Imperial Sister and the Third Prince called her Imperial Sister, but what she remembered more clearly was their disdain for her when she was a child.
Now, the person closest to her is her daughter, and everyone else is no longer important.
The next day, the emperor and empress got up early and went up to the city wall in person to see the envoys off.
The second princess was also brought here by the queen.
Now that the weather is warm, it is comfortable in the morning and there is no need to worry about the children catching cold or heat.
Shen Changjing led his eldest grandson to kneel down, and the Prince of Ming also knelt down.
Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "My dear ministers, you have worked hard to send Princess Ruyi off to marry. You all have made contributions."
Prince Yi, his wife and his concubines all knelt down and Princess Ruyi stepped forward: "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's wishes. After entering Chao, I will assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wholeheartedly to maintain the diplomatic relations between the two countries. May our Great Yi and Chao be in harmony forever. May our Great Yi and Chao live forever!"
"Okay, get up! I also wish you and the Crown Prince of Chao a loving and harmonious life, and many children and grandchildren." Qi Yixiu smiled and helped her up.
The Crown Prince of Chaoguo smiled and said, "I will certainly treat you well. As you said, our two countries will be friends forever."
Qi Yixiu smiled and patted his shoulder.
When everyone set off, Qi Yixiu, the queen and the second princess saw them off on the city wall.
Only return to the palace after you can no longer see clearly.
The second princess asked in a baby voice, "Mother, are the uncles coming?"
Qi Yixiu looked at his little daughter and said, "If you like it, invite them over again in the future."
"Yier likes her mother and father." The two-year-old second princess is very smart.
Although she didn't quite understand what these words meant.
In fact, she was also vague about her father.
"Good boy, Yu'er is so smart." Qi Yixiu was so happy that he asked Chusi to reward the second princess.
Not long after I returned to the palace, someone came to report that Concubine Ying had started a movement.
At the end of June, the time has indeed come.
The queen asked someone to bring the child with her and began to make arrangements in an orderly manner.
Ying Cairen's birth was not as good as Lu Baolin's.
The pain was intermittent throughout the whole day.
She still hadn't given birth until the emperor went to court the next day.
People can still endure it. Nowadays, it is not uncommon for people to feel pain for three days after giving birth.
It’s just that the longer the pain lasts, the weaker I feel.
In the end, they could only ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to bring ginseng slices and prepare them, and the imperial physician also rushed over.
There's always someone to scratch if anything happens.
After Qi Yixiu left the court, he was busy with many things, so he just asked the eunuchs to check on the baby. They said that the baby could not be born for the time being and there was no big danger, so they left it alone.
Until that night, the time finally came.
Ying Cairen had been struggling for two days and one night and was completely exhausted.
Qi Yixiu verbally ordered that no one should come, and only ask the queen to come.
He came to watch too.
The pain was almost over by the time of Hai at night, and the baby was finally born.
Yingcairen was completely exhausted and fell asleep when she heard the baby crying.
The maids hurried to wrap up the baby and serve the adults.
A maid came out to announce the good news: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty. The third princess has been born, and both mother and daughter are safe."
"Okay, reward." Qi Yixiu knew that this baby was most likely a daughter, so he was not disappointed.
"There are more princes than princesses in the palace now. This is good." The queen smiled and said, "I congratulate the emperor."
"No need to be so polite." Queen Qi Yixiula stood up.
"How is Concubine Ying?" asked the Queen.
"To reply to the Queen, Concubine Ying is just exhausted, but it's nothing serious," said the nanny.
Qi Yixiu thought for a moment and said, "Talented Lady Ying will be promoted to Beauty. When the third princess is one month old, she will be taken to Ruiqing Palace to be raised. Tell Beauty Ying to have a good rest."
The nanny and the people from Ji Yunxuan hurriedly thanked the emperor.
It's a good thing to be promoted. This baby is a daughter, and the next one should be a prince.
Then you can take care of it yourself.
This baby will be raised in Ruiqing Palace, which means that he will not be taken anywhere else.
Fortunately.
The emperor went to the queen's palace to rest.
The next morning, the news spread throughout the palace that Concubine Ying had given birth to the third princess.
She herself was not very satisfied. After all, Li Chongrong was a prince, Lu Baolin was a prince, and she was the only princess, which made her feel at a disadvantage.
But having children is not up to you.
Early in the morning, Concubine Jin started to talk nonsense again, saying that Yingmei gave birth to a daughter, and Jing Xiuyuan might also be a daughter.
Shen Chuliu laughed: "Why is Concubine Jin dissatisfied with her daughter? Is it because the eldest princess is not pretty, or the second princess is not cute?"
I don't know where the idea of favoring boys over girls comes from, since I even gave birth to a daughter. How could Concubine Jin dare to say it's not true?
He quickly smiled and changed the subject.
Concubine Yi was a little tired from the banquets these days, so she had a cough, and she couldn't hold it back this time.
Concubine Feng looked at her and said, "Hey, Concubine Yi, what's wrong? Speaking of which, although you can't have children, you can still raise them. How come the Third Princess and the Fifth Prince are both raised in Ruiqing Palace? Didn't the Emperor ask you to raise them?"
This is not even a tactful way of speaking, this is a direct stab.
The mere fact that she couldn't have children made Concubine Yi so angry that she fainted.
"How can I know what the emperor is thinking? I am not like Concubine Feng who knows everything." Concubine Yi gritted her teeth.
"How come I know everything? Didn't Concubine Yi get such a title because she and the emperor are in tune with each other? What's wrong now? Is it that you are no longer in tune with each other?" Concubine Feng laughed: "Oh, it's really pitiful."
"These words are not what Concubine Feng should say. You can't just say them casually no matter what the Emperor says." Concubine Yi was furious.
"I'm not afraid of falling out of favor, everyone will fall out of favor. But it's meaningless to have no hope after falling out of favor." Concubine Feng said lightly.
Concubine Yi was so angry that her eyes went dark. "I heard that the niece of Empress Dowager Li will enter the palace in the selection next year. I hope Concubine Feng can laugh by then!"
Both are nieces of the empress dowager, but there is a big difference between the one from my biological mother and the one from my stepmother, right?
That is the emperor’s real cousin!
"Okay, let's go home if nothing else." The Queen spoke at the right time, not giving Concubine Feng a chance to say anything more.
Concubine Feng stood up indignantly and said, "I'll take my leave." Then she threw her sleeves and left.
Everyone followed suit and left.
