Chapter 547 Li Yuejiao Gives Birth
"Good, good." Xiao Yanli was delighted. "Hurry and deliver the gift that the Queen and I prepared in advance for my nephew. Notice that tomorrow's court meeting for the new royal family member is cancelled. Starting today, the entire city will observe a three-day fast."
"yes!"
The ministers in the court were shocked when they received the news.
When the little prince was born, the whole city fasted for three days.
Now that Prince Rong’s Mansion has welcomed the young prince, the Emperor is also like this.
It seems that the emperor is very interested in Prince Xiaorong.
Then Prince Xiaorong will definitely be the regent in the future.
Thank goodness!
Not that fake king.
Otherwise, the country will be in danger.
When other members of the Xiao royal family learned about this, they hurriedly selected gifts and sent them to Prince Rong's Mansion on the same day.
The only one who was not very happy was Princess Tong of Cheng.
"Jiang Yunwan is so lucky. She only gave birth to a son in her life, but I only gave birth to a daughter. In all these years, my concubine and the prince have not conceived again. It would be great if we could have a son."
Tong Ma'am's heart was as clear as a mirror. The Empress was filled with envy and jealousy again, so she comforted her, "Your Majesty, Prince Rui also has only one daughter. Princess Anyang's mother died young. The other princes and princes also had one child, and they were all daughters. The Emperor had a son in his old age, but he was born with a weak constitution. She was able to give birth to a son because of Princess Huguo's care. Why not ask Princess Huguo to take a look at you? Maybe you and the Prince can have another son."
Hearing this, Tong frowned subconsciously. "Forget it. Childbirth nearly resulted in two deaths. Jiang Yunwan is so old now and only just had one son. It's impossible for her to have another. She won't be able to have a biological daughter in this life. She can only be adopted by the Du family. Just wait and see. When the Huguo Princess gets married, she'll have to pay a huge dowry. I've never seen anyone who has been taken advantage of so badly."
Tong felt balanced when she thought this way.
"Your Majesty, do you want to send a gift? The other palaces have already sent gifts."
Tong thought for a moment, "Do we still need to give gifts for the full moon banquet and first birthday?"
Nanny Tong nodded, "It should be delivered."
Tong suddenly felt a pang of pain, but she couldn't refuse to send it. "Let's go to the warehouse and carefully select it."
Mingyue Tower
"Madam, there's a notice outside. The Emperor is delighted to have a new nephew. The entire city is fasting for three days to pray for the young prince."
My sister-in-law gave birth so soon.
Time flies!
Song Mingzhu put down the account book in her hand and walked to the window to look downstairs.
Officers and soldiers from the patrol battalion were patrolling the streets and spreading the word.
Song Mingzhu recalled that the same scene happened when the little prince was born.
"Qiuyue, quickly inform the guests who are dining that they can leave after paying half of their bill. For the next three days, the first thirty guests at Mingyue Tower will have free vegetarian meals, and the rest will pay half price."
She also wants to accumulate blessings for her nephew.
When Jiang Yunwan woke up, it was already dark.
Turning her head slightly, she saw a room full of brocade boxes. "Caiwei, where did this come from?"
"There are still a pile of gifts outside from the palace and other members of the royal family."
Jiang Yunwan was surprised. "They sent me gifts just today, so shouldn't they also send me gifts for the full moon banquet and first birthday?"
"Well...I think there will be more."
"It's too expensive. Let's not hold the full-moon party. Let's just hold the first birthday party."
"It seems impossible. The Concubine Dowager has already made preparations. The Jiang family, the Du family, the Cheng family, and the Wen family father and son have all come. They sat for the whole afternoon, but when they saw that you were still unconscious, they went back and will come back tomorrow."
"Yes, I understand." Jiang Yunwan glanced at the gifts sent. "Register them carefully and return them with double the amount when the various prefectures hold banquets."
"Yes, my lady."
"It's spring now, and it's time to send food and rations to the soldiers at the border. We'll do it anonymously. We'll carefully find out how many needy households there are in the towns and villages surrounding the Imperial City, and send some food and rations to them anonymously. We'll also ask the Wen family at Wushuang Temple to send a year's supply of rice, flour, grain, and oil, and make some new clothes for the masters."
"The prince has already arranged these things, Your Majesty, just rest assured and take care of your confinement."
"Oh, okay."
Jiang Yunwan turned her head to look at her sleeping son.
"Son, you're so good. You don't cry or make a fuss..."
The little guy suddenly opened his eyes and let out a deafening scream of "Wow".
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Song Mingen rushed in upon hearing the sound.
Jiang Yunwan said helplessly: "My son can't help but praise me, he peed, come and change his diaper."
Song Mingen quickly picked up the baby and said, "Son, be good, don't cry. Daddy will change your diaper..."
Wen Nuo came back from Prince Rong's mansion and snuggled into Li Yuejiao's arms. "Mom, my aunt gave birth to a chubby little brother. He's so cute and doesn't cry or make a fuss. He's very well behaved. When will Mom give birth? I can't wait. I want to hold my little sister."
"Xiao Nuo." Wen Can entered the room and hurriedly took Wen Nuo's fat hand away from Li Yuejiao's arms. "Please touch it gently, otherwise your brother will rush out and your mother will suffer."
"I want a soft and sweet sister, not a smelly brother."
Wen Can frowned, feigning anger. "Just now in the palace, how did you praise the young master? You said he was fragrant, soft, white, and adorable, and you even told your mother to quickly give you a brother. But now that you've returned home, you've changed your mind and fallen in love with your sister again. Does your sister, the princess, know that you're inconsistent in your words and actions?"
Wen Nuo: "Of course the one in mother's belly is a little brother, after all, it was my sister who took care of him. I just want a sweet and soft little sister. And doesn't father want to strengthen the relationship with uncle? If we have a little sister, we can arrange a baby marriage."
"You know all this?"
Wen Nuo raised his eyebrows, "I'm your son, of course I know."
Wen Can pulled him to sit down, "Daddy really wanted to get closer to your uncle and marry you to Sister Yu..."
"Bang!" Li Yuejiao threw a pillow over. "You want to marry Xiao Nuo to Sister Yu?"
"Ah! Jiaojiao, it was a slip of the tongue. It was Xiao Nuo who got married, but it's impossible for her to marry. Sister Yu has always treated Xiao Nuo as her younger brother, not to mention that Sister Yu is already engaged."
Li Yuejiao lay back down and continued to sleep.
"Xiao Nuo, your uncle's status is different now, so we can't talk about the marriage between relatives. Now that our Wen family has established a firm foothold in the capital, we will definitely be second only to the Gu family in wealth in the future. Do you understand?"
Wen Nuo: "Of course I understand. Even if this baby is a girl, I won't agree to a marriage between my sister and the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince may not only love my sister. When he grows up, he may change his mind and like someone else. Don't look at me now that I'm eleven years old, I understand everything."
Wen Can raised an eyebrow, "Do you really understand?"
"Of course I understand. I'm no longer the young master of the Wen family who has just arrived in Beijing and has never seen the world. I just want my dearest sister to pamper me. Of course, I will pamper my younger brother as well."
"Haha..." Wen Can held his chubby face, "I think you are worried that your younger brother will compete with you for the family property."
"How could that be? I'm your eldest son and I inherited your excellent business acumen. If I don't fight for it, no one can. If my brother wants to fight for it, I'll beat him up first." Wen Nuo raised his chubby fist, "...let him know what bloodline suppression is."
"You also know about bloodline suppression?" Li Yuejiao opened her eyes and looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Wen Nuo sat down with great confidence, "Dad and Mom, look at me now. I have the bearing of the head of the Wen family. I'm serious and I can certainly shock the whole audience just by sitting there."
"Hahaha..." The couple couldn't help laughing, "Looks like, looks a lot like the future Patriarch of the Wen family."
The eldest son needs no teaching, he learns by himself.
Two months later, Li Yuejiao gave birth safely to a big fat boy.
Wen Nuo looked at his younger brother, who was not only small but also milky and cute, and changed his mind again.
Not only does she change the baby's diapers on her own initiative, she also helps wipe the poop and holds the baby in her arms all day long without being bothered by the smell.
