Wen Mianmian saw that she looked unwell, so she asked with concern, "You don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"
She wasn't like this when I saw her before.
Tong Jia subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face. A hint of embarrassment appeared on her face. She smiled and said, "Really? I guess I'm tired from taking care of the eldest princess during this period of time."
Wen Mianmian didn't say anything when she saw her like this. Everyone has a lot of unpleasant things, and she is not her daughter-in-law, so she shouldn't judge too much.
"How has the eldest princess been doing lately? I heard she was sick a while ago. Is she feeling better now?"
Tong Jia gave birth to a daughter, and it seems that because of this, Fu Jin had more resentment towards her.
"It's almost healed. The court doctor said that as long as I take good care of myself, I'll be fine."
Although she gave birth to a daughter, both she and the prince loved her very much.
But her mother was very resentful of her for giving birth to a daughter for the prince, saying that she was not good enough and could not even give birth to a son.
Although these unpleasant words were not said to her in person, she accidentally heard her say it once. In addition, her attitude towards her was different from before, so Tong Jia knew that her mother was dissatisfied with her.
Just now, she was told that she was going to choose two princesses for Honghui. Tong Jia felt very disappointed. Although she had a good relationship with the prince, she was very sad when she heard that her mother was going to choose two princesses to serve him.
But she was the daughter-in-law and did not dare to go against her mother-in-law's wishes, so she looked a little unhappy on the way back.
"That's good. Babies a few months old are more susceptible to getting sick. When the weather is nice, you can take her out to bask in the sun, but don't keep her out in the sun for too long since she's still young. This will help, and she won't get sick easily."
"Of course, that's just what I said. You can ask the court doctor for more details."
Wen Mianmian didn't want to think that what she said would be a lie. If anything happened to the child in the future, it would be bad if the Fourth Lady blamed her.
"Thank you for your kindness, Wen E'niang. I'll keep it in mind." Wen E'niang had raised so many children, so she naturally believed what she said.
However, to be on the safe side, she would also consult the family doctor. If doing so is really good for the child, she would take her out to bask in the sun more often when the weather is good in the future.
She also sincerely hopes that her daughter will grow up safely.
Tong Jia didn't stay here for too long. After talking for a while, she left.
After all, she has been out for quite a while, and she is worried about her child.
Seeing her figure gradually walking away, Wen Mianmian couldn't help but sigh, "It's actually not easy to be a woman. Even if you give birth to a daughter, you still have to be disliked by your mother-in-law."
Wen Mianmian could understand the idea of favoring boys over girls in this dynasty, but she just couldn't understand why Honghui's wife was so young and her next child might be a son.
This lady is really too hasty.
"This kind of thing is too common, and the Second Prince has a little prince, so wouldn't the Concubine be worried?"
Nanny Song has long been accustomed to this kind of thing. This kind of thing is very common not only in officials' families but also in ordinary families.
Wen Mianmian sighed in her heart, thinking that being the Crown Prince's Consort was actually quite difficult.
——
On this day, the issue of appointing a crown prince in the court was pushed to a climax by many people.
Longkodo was the first to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of appointing a crown prince cannot be delayed any longer. I beg Your Majesty to appoint a crown prince."
At this time, many people came out to second the motion, "I second the motion..."
The emperor sat at the top with a serious expression, and did not get angry or embarrassed because they mentioned the matter of appointing a crown prince.
But he didn't expect that the first person to express his opinion would be Longkodo.
All the princes in the court began to feel a little nervous, especially the Third Prince. He was nervous but also excited. Now there were many people in the court supporting him, and he believed that he had a great chance of winning.
Sixth Master and his companions were also worried. Fourth Brother had done nothing during this period, and almost most people in the court were on the side of Third Brother. What would they do if the Emperor really followed the wishes of the ministers in the court and chose Third Brother as the Crown Prince?
They looked towards the fourth brother worriedly, but there was no sign of anxiety on his face, as if all this had nothing to do with him, which made people feel anxious.
Moreover, it was Longkodo who expressed this first. In addition, he had a very close relationship with the third brother during this period, so the Sixth Master became even more worried.
Ever since that woman Li Si'er died in prison, and it was said that her death was extremely tragic, Longkodo has treated his fourth brother like an enemy over the years.
He had created many obstacles for his fourth brother, both openly and covertly, and this time he would definitely stand on the side of his third brother, which made him a little worried.
Emperor Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, his left hand involuntarily twirling the jade ring on his right hand, and looked at the ministers below, "Oh, then do you have a suitable candidate?"
This time, Emperor Kangxi did not say to talk about it on another day, but looked at them and asked.
Longkodo said, "I believe that Prince Cheng is exceptional in both talent and archery, and he always performs the tasks assigned by the Emperor very well... I believe that Prince Cheng is worthy of this important task."
As soon as these words were spoken, most of those who supported Prince Cheng stood up to support him.
Only a small number of people remained neutral and supported others and did not stand up.
However, there were also people who supported the Fourth Master, but their number was not as large as that of the Third Master. The Sixth Master and others did not say anything and let the court be in chaos.
Emperor Kangxi saw that they had almost finished arguing, so he asked Liang Jiugong to stop them. "Alright, this matter can be big or small. The Crown Prince is a national responsibility, not a joke. In my opinion, we should discuss this matter later."
"Dismiss the court." After saying this, Emperor Kangxi left with his hands behind his back.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
My ministers looked at each other, none of them understood what the emperor meant.
Didn’t you just say that you let them choose? Now it is obvious that Prince Cheng has the highest support, but what is the emperor’s intention in doing this?
The Third Master originally thought that since so many people supported him today, the Emperor would relent and let him be the Crown Prince, but what did it mean that the Emperor suddenly left?
Could it be that the emperor doesn't want him to be the crown prince? Then who is his candidate, his fourth brother, or someone else?
The Third Master's face looked a little grim, his hands were clenched tightly, and he felt very unwilling.
When the Fourth Master saw that the Emperor had left, he also walked outside.
Sixth Master, Little Thirteen, Little Fourteen and others hurried to catch up.
Longkodo did not expect the emperor to be like this. He also thought that with so many people supporting him, the emperor would let Prince Cheng sit on the throne of the crown prince, but he did not expect the emperor to be the same as before.
"Fourth brother, what are you thinking?" Sixth Master and the others caught up with him.
"What are you thinking?" The Fourth Master said as he walked, his expression calm.
