"Besides, they are both wonderful, and Hongyu and I like them very much. Not to mention that Hongyu's wife gave me two well-behaved grandsons and a lovely granddaughter."
He Zhuo turned to Mrs. Duerbote: "Of course, Hongfang's wife is also very good and filial."
Your mother loves your little Mengjie and your little prince very much too.
Mengjie, Hongfang's eldest daughter, came along this time.
Princess Bahrain knew that Khoja was telling the truth. She learned from her daughter that Khoja, as the primary consort, never interfered in her son's private affairs.
Moreover, the power of life and death over the concubines and maids in the son's room was in the hands of his daughter.
The son-in-law is devoted to his daughter. He rarely visits her room and they are still being given medicine.
That's quite remarkable.
After their wedding month, He Zhuo, their mother-in-law, stopped expecting them, her daughters-in-law, to serve her.
They also don't restrict them from going out to visit others or anything like that.
They did not request that their grandchildren be brought to them for upbringing.
Khoja could be considered a good mother-in-law in the Qing Dynasty.
Princess Balin was very grateful for all of this. As a mother-in-law herself, she knew she could never be as kind and magnanimous as Khoja.
In this era, it's the norm for grandchildren to be raised by their grandmothers. A good mother-in-law is one who doesn't try to push other children into her husband's life after three years of marriage.
Princess of Balin: "I heard that my son-in-law is working in the capital and couldn't come with me this time. I don't have much to give you, but you must have everything you need in the capital. I brought some dried beef and mutton with me. Also, I heard that my son-in-law is an excellent horseman, so I brought two fine steeds with me."
"That's wonderful! I was just thinking about it when our in-laws sent it over. They're so thoughtful. Hongyu and his family love horses, and no matter how busy they are, they always groom their own horses."
"Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely deliver it to you. Don't worry, the gifts from our in-laws will also be delivered." He Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he was telling the truth.
“Yes, Madam, I also brought some local specialties for the Second Prince and his wife,” said Madam Durbert.
"Okay, bring them all."
...
Just as He Zhuo was about to let his daughters-in-law go back to their own mothers, he heard Zhou Gonggong's cheerful voice.
"Greetings to the Fujin (Prince's wife), greetings to the Princess Consort, greetings to the Lady. Greetings to the Heir Apparent's wife, greetings to the Second Prince's Fujin (Prince's wife)."
…
The young masters hadn't even finished paying their respects yet.
Hearing Xiao Zhenbao's voice from inside the courtyard, He Zhuo forgot all about chatting with his two in-laws and rushed out of the room to greet her.
The mother and daughter shared a heartfelt embrace in the yard.
"Mommy, I've missed you so much! It's been six years, three months, and 23 days since I last saw you." Little Zhenbao was still acting spoiled, just like when she was little.
"Quickly, let your mother see you, my little treasure. Your mother has missed you too. Last time your father and grandfather came here with your grandfather, we heard you were pregnant, but we didn't get to see you."
"Yes, another little rascal. He's playing with Ninth Brother at Father's place. We'll have them both pay their respects to Mother later."
"Mother, I heard that my eighth brother is sick. He's having trouble adjusting to the new environment, and you've been taking care of him personally. Is he feeling better now?"
"Your eighth brother is fully recovered."
"Then I'm relieved, Mother. I know you're worried about Eighth Brother, but you must also take care of your health and not overwork yourself."
He Zhuo looked at his eldest daughter, who was as tall as him, and whose face was very similar to that of Consort Hui.
It gives me the feeling of watching my daughter grow up.
Every parent treats their first child differently.
