Chapter 116: Broken Teeth and Swallowed Blood
On November 18th, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was clear. Song Yuning finally arrived at the long-awaited moment of leaving her confinement.
When she opened her eyes in the morning, the first thing Song Yuning did was to immediately order the servants to prepare hot water so that she could take a good bath.
Fortunately, it is winter. If it were summer, she would definitely stink if she didn't take a bath for a month.
After washing three times, Song Yuning finally felt clean.
Today is also the full moon banquet for the two children. As their mother, Song Yuning naturally cannot miss this important occasion.
After she finished washing, Ningshuang and Yuejian dressed her up carefully, put on the gorgeous princess's court dress, and put on an otter skin cloak, making her look particularly noble and elegant.
Finally, Song Yuning glanced at Jing Yun and Jing Yu who were held in the arms of the wet nurse, and then strode out of the delivery room with a large group of people.
Concubine Feng, who had just returned to the palace half a month ago, and Gao and others had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When they saw Song Yuning coming out, they all bowed respectfully and greeted him.
Concubine Feng stared at Song Yuning with complicated eyes, and a hint of jealousy surged in her heart.
Many women's bodies will be deformed after giving birth, but Song Yuning not only maintained her slim figure before pregnancy, but her face was even more beautiful than before.
Just like she has grown up, Song Yuning was beautiful before, but she was still young. Although she looked calm and generous, she was still a little immature.
But now Song Yuning is surrounded by a gentle and tranquil feeling, with graceful demeanor and elegant temperament, which makes people unable to take their eyes off her. Her beauty is even better than before. How can Concubine Feng not be jealous?
She is good-looking and pregnant. Not only did she give birth to a boy, but she also gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, which was unprecedented in the royal family. As a concubine, she probably couldn't compare to him even if she flattered him.
After looking at Song Yuning, Concubine Feng turned her gaze to the big red swaddling clothes in the arms of the two wet nurses, and the jealousy in her eyes became more obvious.
Song Yuning really didn't like that look. It was as if she was going to eat the two children alive, which made her feel very uncomfortable. So she smiled and asked, "When did Concubine Feng come back?"
Concubine Feng forced a laugh and said, "Princess, I returned half a month ago. It was only because you were in confinement at that time that the prince forbade me to disturb you, so I did not come to pay my respects to you."
Song Yuning said calmly, "The prince is wrong in this matter, but you, Concubine Feng, are also wrong. The prince is in charge of the front yard, and I am the one who makes the decisions about the back yard.
The concubine had returned, so she definitely had to let me know. But I only found out today. I can't let this happen again next time."
Concubine Feng could only kneel down in the corridor and admit her fault: "It is my fault, I know it."
"Now that you know, let's get up. It's cold outside, let's go into the house first." Song Yuning smiled at Gao, and Gao immediately came over to hold Song Yuning's hand.
Song Yuning patted her: "Is Jinghe here?"
Gao smiled and nodded: "It's cold outside, so Miss Wu took Jinghe inside first, and the princess will be able to see her soon."
The floor heating in the main room had been turned on for a long time. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by the heat. Song Yuning immediately took off his otter skin cloak.
Several people entered the warm room in the east. Jinghe was lying on the big kang by the window with her eyes open, neither crying nor making a fuss. Her temper was somewhat similar to Jingyun's.
Jingyu and Jingyun were also put on the kang. The two children had just finished feeding and were now in high spirits. They lay on the bed and looked around.
Gao took one look at the twins and immediately praised them a few words. Concubine Feng had just been humiliated and it was not appropriate for her to speak out at this time. She also came over to take a look and then sat quietly aside without saying a word.
After talking with them for a while, Song Yuning carried the child to the front yard.
This time, Song Yuning could clearly feel that her sisters-in-law and the princesses and wives of the royal family, who had been indifferent to her before, were very nice to her this time.
Especially the female members of the royal family were very enthusiastic. They kept talking to her and praising the two children in her arms for their good looks, saying that they were blessed.
Song Yuning responded with a smile. Her words and actions were measured and well-behaved, and there was nothing wrong with them. The ladies, who had already changed their views of her, felt even better about her in their hearts.
Because of the grand third-day baptism ceremony before, although this full-moon banquet was also grand, the emperor and empress did not attend in person.
Song Yuning also felt that these two children had become too popular, so it was better for the emperor not to come.
After the full moon banquet, Song Yuning stayed in the mansion to raise the child, and Xiao Yunzhan also resumed attending court every day. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.
On New Year's Day, Xiao Yunzhan and Song Yuning went to the palace together, but they did not bring their children with them.
When the queen arrived at the palace, she saw that the child was not there. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes turned cold.
Song Yuning had no choice but to explain: "The two children were born not long ago, they are young and ignorant, and they cry endlessly. The daughter-in-law is afraid of disturbing the queen mother's rest.
Besides, it's freezing cold today, and my daughter-in-law and the prince were worried that the child would catch a cold, so they didn't bring him into the palace."
The Queen smiled and nodded. "I have also missed these two children after not seeing them for so long. You are right. They are still young, so we must be more careful."
Song Yuning just smiled and didn't say anything.
This year, just like in previous years, Song Yuning and Xiao Yunzhan returned to the palace at nightfall.
Looking at the two children lying head to head on the kang by the window, Song Yuning and Xiao Yunzhan didn't feel tired at all.
"Today in the palace, I saw that the Queen looked a little impatient. I'm afraid that it won't be long before she will urge Concubine Feng to have a child." Song Yuning said to Xiao Yunzhan.
Xiao Yunzhan nodded: "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with it."
After one year and two months, Xiao Yunzhan began to walk around in the backyard. He still spent the longest time here with Song Yuning, spending half a month in a month.
The remaining ten days were spent with Concubine Feng, and five days were spent with Gao.
The queen finally stopped staring at Song Yuning and the twins, and began to send Concubine Feng various tonic herbs and prescriptions for pregnancy.
The Queen sent them frequently, but every time Concubine Feng saw them, she felt extremely resentful.
Xiao Yunzhan did come to her place, but in all the times he came, he never touched her and just went to sleep when he came.
In her eyes, these medicines needed to nourish the body during pregnancy were proof of her humiliation. How could Concubine Feng not be angry? However, she could not talk about this matter openly.
If the queen knew about this, she would abandon her and send another daughter from the Feng family. Then she would have no good life in the future.
So Feng could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger, not daring to say anything.
