After welcoming three boys, the Eastern Palace finally welcomed a daughter. Gao Xuance was overjoyed. Yao Niang looked at her daughter's wrinkled little face and couldn't help but get close to her.

Even at this age, she still speaks like a child: "Before I had my own children, I always thought other people's babies were so ugly when they were born with wrinkles. Why did adults still like them so much? Now that I have my own children, I understand. No matter what, our own children are the best in the eyes of parents."

Yu thought her daughter was adorable, but she felt sorry for her daughter when she remembered that she was switched as a child and that Zhong Xin'er was the only one around her.

Yao Niang was such a perceptive woman. When she saw Yu Shi like this, she said, "Mother, don't think about the past. Since I came back, you have never treated me badly. I am very grateful to you."

Honestly speaking, if it was her, and she found out that Cheng Yun Cheng Ze or Xun Ge'er were not her sons but were swapped, it would be difficult for her to give up immediately, because everyone has feelings, and it is really not easy for a mother to do this.

As she got older, she understood this more deeply. The reason why humans are different from animals is that humans have intelligence and emotions.

Yao Niang named the little daughter Yumao. Originally, it was because her face was red when she was born. Gao Xuance said her face was like a date, but calling her “date” sounded a bit earthy, so Yao Niang changed the name to “Zao”.

When Gao Xuance saw Yao Niang holding the baby, he quickly stopped her: "You can't hold the baby during the confinement period. You need to rest well. You are tired enough on weekdays. If you do this, you will get sick after the confinement period."

"I understand." Yao Niang smiled and appreciated her husband's thoughtfulness.

Recently, because the Donghu withdrew their troops, Dalin has been peaceful for some time, but the domestic affairs are also very complicated to handle. If the ministers are too close, they may lose their sense of proportion, and if they are too strict, they may lose their loyalty, which makes them dare not really try their best.

Gao Xuance lay down on the couch and sighed, "It's better to go to the battlefield and fight than to chat with them."

Furthermore, he was only the crown prince, and the real decision maker was the emperor. However, the emperor, especially when he got older, was very eager for fame and was infinitely tolerant of scholars in order to preserve the reputation of a benevolent monarch.

This made it impossible for him to display his skills, so Gao Xuance could only feel depressed.

Fortunately, Yao Niang was here, and she was able to comfort him: "As the saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Don't be too hasty about everything. Many problems cannot be solved overnight. Anyway, the two of us solve problems in a similar way. We both focus on the big things and let go of the small things. Solve the things you think are the most difficult to deal with, and then take your time with the small things."

Gao Xuance nodded after hearing this: "Yes, that's right. Maybe I am also a perfectionist. No matter what I do, I always want it to be perfect. But there are not so many perfect things in the world."

Yao Niang couldn't help but bring up the matter of Princess Zhenyang: "To be honest, it's all my fault. She came to me before and said she wanted to take Wanwan to Jiangnan, and she said a lot of things. I was pregnant at that time, so it's inevitable that my mind was confused. Yesterday, I sat on the bed and thought about it, and then I realized that she wanted you and me to ask for the title of princess for Wanwan. It's really my fault."

Now that her son has been named Grandson, Yao Niang doesn't have too many concerns and throws the problem to Gao Xuance.

Gao Xuance said, "Don't worry about her. You are just too kind. You always think about others. Has she ever thought about you? Even at the beginning, she thought about you, but that was all your own fault. I heard her say in front of you that you were a companion. Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between the noble and the humble. You are now a member of the royal family, how can you still do this? You don't have to think too much about this. She is favored by herself, and we don't have to worry about our father's enfeoffment."

Many princesses relied on their own efforts to gain the emperor's favor, which allowed their princes-in-law and their children to rise to high positions.

Yao Niang was of course very satisfied when she heard this, but she also said something fair: "She probably didn't think that much. When she was a princess before, she was quite tactful, and it's not that she didn't have any plans in her heart."

"Then it's not a stupid thing. I know how Zhuang Lingyi bullied you. Doesn't she know? Just because Zhuang Lingyi didn't hurt you, does it mean there was no harm?" Gao Xuance was so angry at the little fool in his arms. He was too kind.

Yao Niang looked at him with a smile: "So I am a good person and good things have been rewarded. God has given me such a good husband. I don't care how you treat others, you have always been very good to me. I may be the happiest person in the world."

Gao Xuance was originally fierce, but after hearing what Yao Niang said, his eyes sparkled and he wished Yao Niang would praise him more.

Seeing him like this, Yao Niang couldn't help laughing.

After the confinement period, Yao Niang began to pay attention to her body. She sat for a long time every day and even took her son Xun Ge'er to Kunning Palace to pay her respects. She felt that her qi and blood circulation in her body was restored.

When Queen Hong first heard that she had come over, she said, "It's time to take care of yourself, why are you coming over?"

"First, Xun Ge'er doesn't want to move around, unlike his brothers. I want to take him for more walks, so that he won't become lazy when studying. Second, it's good to walk around in the morning."

Moreover, Yao Niang smiled and said, "It was the prince who told me that in the book "Lao Lao Heng Yan·Walking", it says: "Walking controls the tendons, and walking relaxes the tendons and strengthens the limbs."

Queen Hong waved her hand and said, "Forget it. Just listen to the prince."

Yao Niang lowered her head and did not make any excuses, because she knew very well that her parents-in-law liked to see their daughter-in-law listen to their son. Anyway, they wanted face and they wanted the inside. She gave Gao Xuance enough face outside, but Gao Xuance was the one who was most afraid of her at home.

After Yao Niang arrived, Concubine Li Gui and other concubines came to pay their respects. Yao Niang stood up and saluted again. They hurriedly avoided her and did not dare to accept the greeting, but they all had a good impression of the Crown Princess in their hearts.

This is the future mistress, they all depend on her for food, if she has a good temper, they can get along better. Of course, if she has a bad temper, the concubines will not be vegetarians either, they can't bring you down, but they can make things difficult for you and make you uncomfortable.

Don't think that just because you are in a high position, everyone will be happy and obedient.

Now that Concubine Hong's son has been named the Crown Prince, she has become more calm and composed. The two women who learned the rules in her palace have been successfully named beauties. They are young and more playful.

"How is the third princess?" Empress Hong asked Concubine Duan with concern.

Although this emperor gave birth to a princess, the third princess looked very much like Emperor Jianzhang, and she was also a little girl, so she was very lovable.

Concubine Duan smiled and said, "Don't worry, your majesty. The child is already well."

"Well, His Majesty said that the Third Princess should be taken good care of, and in two years a companion will be chosen for her to study in the Imperial Academy." Empress Hong was also trying to get closer to Concubine Duan.

Concubine Duan was still a palace concubine of considerable importance, but she was not as considerate and understanding as Concubine Li Gui, and she did not know when to advance and retreat. Therefore, she was somewhat proud of having given birth to a child, and because of the courtesy shown by the Empress, she could not help but feel a little complacent.

Concubine Li Guifei had two princes and was favored, but the Empress only gave birth to Concubine Duan, who gave birth to a princess. Perhaps this was the way of checks and balances in the harem.

The next day, when Concubine Duan came to pay her respects, she brought the third princess with her. The third princess was a lively person. Although she was small, she ran around and was more active than Xun Ge'er.

For example, when Xun Ge'er was playing with a machine, she would run around with the toy and giggle.

Xun Ge'er didn't like her, and Yao Niang would never tell her son who he must give in to. She would not even say to Cheng Yun, "You are the older brother and you should give in to your younger brother."

We are all human beings, why should everyone give in to you?

Today the women were arguing happily, but the third princess suddenly cried out "Wow". When Xun Ge'er saw her crying, he panicked a little and dropped the machine in his hand to the ground.

When Concubine Duan saw her precious daughter crying, she immediately panicked, but she knew her limits and looked at the Empress and the Crown Princess.

Yao Niang trusted her son the most, so she asked the wet nurse, "What happened to the third princess?"

The wet nurse was Xun'er's wet nurse, Wei. She would not hide the truth for Concubine Duan, so she said, "Just now, the third master was playing with this bird here, and the princess wanted to take it over to play with it. This..."

The two struggled with each other, and the princess couldn't pull the rope together, so she fell backwards and fell to the ground.

Yao Niang asked quickly: "Is the princess okay?"

The third princess sobbed and looked at Concubine Duan, whose heart almost melted and she ran over to check up and down. Empress Hong thought that it was just a fight between two children, and since Xun Ge'er was not injured, he was a boy, so he just had to admit his fault and the matter could be over.

So, Queen Hong said to Xun Ge'er, "You made Aunt cry. Let's be men and apologize to Aunt, okay?"

Yao Niang didn't like what she heard. Originally, Xun Ge'er was having fun, but the Third Princess went to steal things herself. How could she let Xun Ge'er admit his mistake?

Xun'er's face turned red, but he kept his mouth shut and refused to apologize.

This child looks like Yao Niang and has a similar personality, both are very stubborn.

Concubine Duan also thought, forget it, after all, he is the prince's son, as long as he admits his mistake, she will forgive him.

Little did she know that Yao Niang walked up to Xun Ge'er and said, "Okay, mother knows it's not your fault, let's just play in the East Palace from now on, okay? Don't take it out to play."

After that, she went forward to comfort the third princess: "Qingque, don't cry. Since you like this machine, your sister-in-law will take you to the East Palace to play tomorrow, okay? I have a lot of fun toys at home, including a turtledove carriage that can be pulled by someone, and a big Fusang doll and a Rakshasa doll, all of which you can play with. But don't take the initiative to grab them, as the saying goes, a gentleman does not take away what others like."

I can give it to you, but I can't steal someone else's favor.

When these words were spoken, Concubine Duan was furious. She was a young concubine, quite favored, and usually respectful to the empress. She never expected that her daughter was injured and she was told that a gentleman does not take away someone else's favor.

Unfortunately, the third princess was still a child, crying loudly. Concubine Duan immediately took the child in her arms and said goodbye: "Your Majesty, the child is crying non-stop, I will take her back first."

Concubine Li Guifei and the others quickly left. Seeing that Yao Niang still had no regrets and kept comforting Xun Ge'er, Empress Hong said, "It's just a nice thing to say. Why do you have to take it so seriously?"

It's not good to have such a commotion. At least Xun Ge'er is fine, and it's others who are hurt.

This kind of thorough method is certainly in line with the principles of the palace, but it is not in line with Yao Niang's principles. She said: "Mother, this is not a trivial matter. This is a principle of a person's behavior. It is obviously right, but admitting the mistake will make the child timid in the future. Don't worry, if the emperor blames you, just blame me."

Queen Hong slammed the table and said, "Many small things in the palace can easily lead to big disasters. Look at what Li Ji did—"

You have no one in front of Yu, but Concubine Duan can whisper in your ear at will.

The emperor won't listen to so much.

Yao Niang smiled and said, "Don't worry. Even so, I don't want the children to give away their beloved things so easily. If anything happens, I will take full responsibility."

Queen Hong then realized that this daughter-in-law was indeed different. She was usually respectful and careful, and treated Princess Zhenyang as a study companion. She did not put on airs with others, but she was also a very principled person, who was gentle on the outside but gentle on the inside.

Especially when it comes to educating children, I never want to let any child down.
