www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
While the three princesses and Marquis Pingyang were anxiously waiting for the imperial edict in Luoyue City, the New Year was approaching day by day.
The Spring Festival is the most solemn festival of the year in Dayu. The air is filled with joy and excitement of the approaching festival, and it seems that even the cold wind in winter has been dispersed.
For Nangong Yue, the upcoming Spring Festival also has special significance. This will be the first New Year she and Xiao Yi spend together.
Although Xiao Fei and Concubine Wei helped arrange New Year matters in the palace, Nangong Yue was still much busier than usual. At the end of the year, the shopkeepers and stewards scattered across Dayu all brought their account books with them. Come to say hello to Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue. This year’s account books are twice as large as in previous years. They include not only Nangong Yue’s dowry, but also the property left to Xiao Yi by King Nan of the old town. Those account books are full. There is not enough space in a warehouse. Xiao Yi naturally didn't allow Nangong Yue to bother and simply left the account book to Shen Chengye to deal with. Shen Chengye was so busy that he had a lot of gray hair in just a few days.
There are also New Year's gifts sent from the royal capital, the various prefectures in southern Xinjiang, and the Nangong Prefecture. The total sum of them is much more than in previous years. Fortunately, Baihui and An Niang can deal with these trivial matters. Nangong Yue was already familiar with the business. Whether it was receiving people who came to give New Year gifts, registering those New Year gifts into the warehouse, or giving New Year gifts, Nangong Yue didn't worry too much.
On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, another person came from the royal capital. It was Yimei who sent people to deliver account books and specially sent them a holiday gift. After Nangong Yue asked about "Hua Yan" and Yimei's current situation, she sent them away.
She moved her neck and supported her waist. She felt her body was a little stiff. She was about to ask Baihui to help her out for a walk when she heard a familiar "meow" sound coming from her feet, with a coquettish tone. When I heard it, it was the voice of Mao Xiaobai.
Nangong Yue looked down, and sure enough, she saw the cat Xiaobai squatting beside the corner of her skirt, looking up at her with a pair of clear yin and yang eyes, and then called out "meow" again.
"Xiao Bai..." Nangong Yue smiled slightly and was about to let the magpie on the side pick up Xiao Bai when she heard a hysterical cry coming from the magpie's mouth. Huamei and Haitang thought something had happened. He flew into the East Room and saw Nangong Yue sitting on the Arhat bed safe and sound.
Nangong Yue and Que'er were only two feet away from each other. Looking at Que'er's frightened eyes, one could tell what she was afraid of.
Next to the chubby white cat is a little gray mouse that has died. It is no bigger than a human fist, but to the girl's family, it is more terrifying than any monsters. Look at the magpie's beautiful face. With such a look, if Nangong Yue hadn't been here, she would have screamed and ran away.
Xiao Bai looked at Magpie, seemingly a little confused, but immediately withdrew his gaze, then looked at Nangong Yue, and pushed the little mouse beside his paw in the direction of Nangong Yue...
At this time, Haitang from behind also saw the cat Xiaobai and the dead mouse. She couldn't help laughing and said: "Prince Princess, Xiaobai is giving you a New Year's gift!"
Nangong Yue and Huamei were stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.
No, maybe there were too many people coming to give Nangong Yue New Year gifts recently. Xiaobai had always noticed them, so he followed suit and caught mice and gave them to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue slapped the table boldly and said: "An extra fish for Xiaobai tonight!"
Only Que'er looked at the cat Xiaobai with "awe" and said in a weak voice: "Prince Princess, do you think Xiaobai has gained a lot of weight?"
For a moment, all eyes turned to the slightly sagging belly of the cat Xiaobai. Xiaobai seemed to feel something and let out a displeased "meow" before quickly jumping onto the Arhat's bed and leaping out of the window. He walked out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It patted its **** and left, but Que'er insisted on advancing the dusting on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month for this reason, and swept every corner with a few little maids. Only then did she feel relieved, Bixiao The hall is getting more and more lively...
Unlike Mao Xiaobai's "New Year's Gift", which was disliked by others, on that day, Nanliang sent a "big gift" that Xiao Yi had been looking forward to for a long time - hundreds of horses bred from new horse breeds. It was finally delivered belatedly.
Guan Yubai immediately arranged for a group of troops from the Xinrui Battalion and the Youqi Battalion to conduct an actual combat exercise... After a day and night of hard fighting, the Xinrui Battalion narrowly won by one point, so this time the Xinrui Battalion narrowly won by one point. Ma Yue separated two-thirds from the elite camp and left the rest to the Youqi camp. Most of the young people in the military camp are full of blood, and many soldiers secretly vowed to win the battle next time!
On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, the young generals from the Xinrui Battalion returned to Luoyue City in full bloom. Their young faces were full of energy, and they wore bright clothes and angry horses. Everyone knew that the people of the Xinrui Battalion had a bright future.
Five or six young generals came to Bixiaotang to return their lives to Xiao Yi. Among them, Yu Xiufan and Xu Che were also familiar with Nangong Yue. They directly licked their faces and called "sister-in-law", and also dragged Chang Huaixi and Yan Xijun called sister-in-law together.
The temperaments of Chang Huaixi and Yan Xijun were different from the noisy Yu Xiufan. They couldn't help but look embarrassed, and their behavior was inevitably a little awkward, which made Nangong Yue laugh.
The few young people did not stay long, and were quickly sent away by Xiao Yi, letting them go home to celebrate the New Year.
After they left, the study suddenly became a little deserted.
Xiao Yi suddenly said with a smile: "Ah Yue, aren't you going to choose a son-in-law for Xiao Fei? I think Xiao Fanzi and the others are all good, how about you let Xiao Fei choose one next time?"
Xiao Yi's words couldn't be more serious. He had already made a wishful thinking in his heart. Instead of letting his A-Yue work so hard for Xiao Fei, making A-Yue tired and distressed and hurting himself, it would be better for him to Here, Xiao Fei's marriage was solved quickly.
Although Xiao Yi's suggestion surprised Nangong Yue, after thinking about it carefully, Nangong Yue felt that Xiao Yi's words were reasonable.
Xiao Yi has always had a unique way of looking at people. He thinks that good people will not be too bad.
Nangong Yue nodded and said: "There is no rush in this matter... Let Sister Fei see for herself after her son's filial piety next summer." When it comes to marriage, Xiao Fei must choose someone she likes. But...
Recalling that Xiao Fei had told her about her request for her future husband, Nangong Yue was really not sure.
Xiao Yi felt as if he had solved a big trouble, and smiled happily. He secretly thought that he had to send a message to Yu Xiufan's family first, so that they could respond as soon as possible.
Today is the New Year, and every household has to pay tribute to the stove and sweep the dust, eat sweet melon sticks, and set off firecrackers. The New Year flavor suddenly started, and it was lively and noisy all day long.
On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Baihui came to report that three potential wet nurses had been selected, and they had all been taught the rules of the palace and Bixiaotang.
Nangong Yue asked Baihui to bring him over for her to take a look at.
The nannies carefully selected by Baihui are naturally good. All of them are fair and respectful, and observe etiquette.
Nangong Yue looked at them with satisfaction and asked some questions, such as who was in the family, what they did before, which pregnancy this was now, and how long they were pregnant...
It’s all common sense.
Those women had never spoken to a noble person like the Crown Princess before, and they were a little nervous at first. But seeing that Nangong Yue was very kind and asked about daily things, they relaxed and answered them one by one. .
Nangong Yue was quite satisfied with these three people, so she kept them all for the time being. Firstly, she wanted to be prepared, and secondly, she was not sure which one Nannan would like, so it was always right to be cautious.
After Nangong Yue rewarded the three wet nurses, she sent them away and went to the inner room, where Que'er and Haitang waited on her to rest...
Quie'er is a talkative person. While waiting for Nangong Yue to undress, he chatted with gossip with a smile: "Prince Concubine, I heard an 'interesting thing' this morning." Que'er's smile contained a smile. There is obvious schadenfreude, and you can tell at a glance that it is not going to be a "good thing".
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows and signaled Que'er to speak.
Quie'er continued with a smile: "I heard, Master Yan's fiancée, Miss Qiu, has just been diagnosed with pregnancy."
Of course Nangong Yue knew about this girl from the Qiu family. She was the wife of Yan Xijun who Mrs. Yan had previously met. She heard that her reputation was not very appropriate. When Nangong Yue found out about it, she told Xiao Yi about it. Xiao Yi's behavior always made Nangong Yue sigh. Since Madam Yan said that Miss Qiu was good, he simply put pressure on General Yan and promised Miss Qiu to Mrs. Yan's biological son, Fourth Young Master Yan.
No, Miss Qiu is pregnant before she even gets married. This Mrs. Yan really has "good vision"!
Nangong Yue’s eyebrows were raised even higher. As she sat down with Baihui’s help, she casually asked, “Does the Yan family know?”
Quie'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Mrs. Yan almost fainted when she heard this. Now she is crying, making trouble, and hanging herself to ask General Yan to cancel the engagement! As the saying goes, if you talk too much, you will make mistakes. It's really good. Mrs. Yan accidentally let it slip that she already knew that Miss Qiu and her cousin were having an affair. General Yan was so angry that he almost divorced his wife..."
Mrs. Yan has a son and a daughter, and she has paid filial piety to her parents-in-law. Naturally, it will not be easy for General Yan to divorce his wife, but this time it will be enough for Mrs. Yan to suffer. First of all, she may never want to manipulate Yan Xijun’s marriage again. Got it!
As a bedtime story, this is really refreshing. The corner of Nangong Yue's mouth raised slightly, and the maid helped her to rest, and she slept for a full hour.
After waking up in the afternoon, she went to Tingyuge to visit Mr. Fang. Although her body is getting heavier, Nangong Yue still goes to greet Mrs. Fang every day.
Xiao Yi has already told Old Mrs. Fang all the secrets that Kui Lang confessed. You can imagine how heartbroken Mr. Fang is. All the young couple can do is come often to talk to the old man, hoping that the birth of the child will be in the future. Mr. Fang injected new vitality into his heart...
The Tingyu Pavilion was unexpectedly lively today. Manager Zhao and his wife brought their son and daughter-in-law to pay their respects to Mr. Fang.
The Zhao family has been the manager of the Fang family for generations. Manager Zhao has been with Mr. Fang since he was a teenager and has always been loyal. Nangong Yue has also seen him, and he only accepted half a courtesy from him. He supported the old couple.
After chatting for a while, Mrs. You, the wife of Zhao Da, took her daughter-in-law Zhang and Nangong Yue for a walk in the yard outside for a while. The conversation basically revolved around the child in Nangong Yue’s belly and talked about prenatal care. Moving around a lot; talking about a woman giving birth as if she had gone to hell; talking about stable mothers, wet nurses, and the need to call the doctor before giving birth just in case; talking about the baby's clothes...
Nangong Yue listened attentively, vaguely understanding in her heart that there were no female relatives in Tingyu Pavilion. Maybe it was for this reason that You, at such an old age, made a special trip to Luoyue City.
Seeing Nangong Yue's cautious look, You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law secretly breathed a sigh of relief and were happy to talk more.
Hearing Nangong Yue say that the wet nurse has been prepared, Youshi talked about the wet nurse: "...the wet nurse must be healthy. If the wet nurse is infected with cold and the child is weak, he will be exposed to the cold. It's easy to get rid of the illness, and secondly, the nurse's body will also contain the illness. Children are the most valuable and are easy to die young, so we must be very careful."
Ms. Zhang added with a smile: "Also, Imperial Concubine, the wet nurse must also pay attention to her daily diet. What the wet nurse eats is equivalent to what the child eats... I once heard that there was a mansion The wet nurse was greedy and secretly ate a lot of lychees. The baby also got angry and had blisters in her mouth, which made the mother feel very distressed..."
Nangong Yue echoed from time to time, with a thoughtful light flashing in her eyes, while Baihui and Huamei on the side were also attentive, carefully writing down these essentials said by You's mother-in-law.
The Crown Princess’s child is the first child of the two masters, and it is more likely to be the future grandson. No mistakes are allowed!
On this day, Nangong Yue stayed in Tingyu Pavilion until the sun set before leaving.
After returning to Bixiaotang, the first thing Nangong Yue did was to ask Baihui to call the three wet nurses. Although Baihui didn't know why, she immediately brought the three women.
The three women were also surprised and uncertain, with unavoidable looks of worry on their faces.
Nangong Yue said directly to the first woman in blue: "Your name is He Niang, right? Come here and let me take a look."
The woman named He Niang is about twenty-five or six years old. She is fair and plump, with a bit of cleverness between her eyebrows. She glanced at Baihui and saw Baihui slightly nodding towards her, so she boldly took a few steps forward and walked to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue looked her over and saw some shadows under her eyes and dry lips, so she asked: "Mother He, have you not had any rest in the past few days?"
He Niang was born into a family, and of course she knew that there were many taboos in a wealthy family, let alone a prince's palace. She explained a little embarrassedly: "Prince Concubine, I drank too much tea last night and kept getting up all night. ... This slave is always in good health and rarely gets sick."
Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said: "Mother He, don't be nervous, just hold out your right hand and I will feel your pulse."
He Niang responded and stretched her wrist forward nervously. Nangong Yue put three fingers on her wrist, pondered for a moment, then let go, and said with a smile: "You have a good foundation. . I will ask Baihui to prescribe a calming soup for you later, and you can drink it for three nights first."
Hearing the Crown Princess's tone, which sounded like nothing was wrong, Lady He breathed a sigh of relief. The other two wet nurses also watched from behind and felt relieved.
Nangong Yue then checked the pulses of two other women named Yu Niang and Hui Niang, and then sent them away again.
After the wet nurse left, Nangong Yue's face suddenly darkened. Baihui and Huamei immediately felt something was wrong. They looked at each other and heard Nangong Yue slowly say: "What a vicious plan!"
Nangong Yue said, subconsciously grabbing the skirt of her skirt.
The expressions of the maids in the room also became solemn, and Baihui asked seriously: "Prince Concubine, what's wrong with the three wet nurses?"
It’s not just wrong! Nangong Yue's eyes showed a sharp look, "Someone secretly drugged the wet nurse..."
This medicine is not an ordinary medicine. For adults like wet nurses, this herb is not very harmful, and it even has beauty benefits. However, if the baby ingests the herb through the milk fed by the wet nurse, Even if the amount in the body is extremely small, if it accumulates over time, the child will grow up like a dwarf!
This plan is really cruel!
After Nangong Yue found out just now, she almost lost her composure, but she still held back because she was not sure who drugged the wet nurse and whether the wet nurse knew about it...
She was a little scared when she thought about it. No wonder the saying goes: "A thief can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no guard against a thief for a thousand days." If it hadn't been for You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who happened to tell her about the precautions for wet nurses today, she would You may not have thought of trying to check the pulses of those wet nurses. If you don't have enough milk in the future and ask the wet nurses to help feed you, the consequences will be really disastrous!
The sky outside has become gloomy at some point. A heavy rain seems to be coming. The same is true in the royal capital thousands of miles away. Layers of dark clouds are piled up in the sky, which makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at it. I feel out of breath...
"Sister Bai!"
In the palace of Prince Gong in the royal capital, Bai Muxiao hurriedly entered Bai Muxiao's Xinghui Courtyard while putting on clothes. His beautiful face could not hide the look of worry.
Bai Muxiao, who had a big belly, was leaning against the window. It was the first time she saw Zhang Yi like this, and her brows moved.
He did not bother to pay attention to the ceremony while laying out his clothes, and said directly: "Sister Bai, do you know that His Highness Kui Lang is missing?"
Hearing this, even Bai Muxiao couldn't help but shrink his pupils, look shocked, and blurted out: "How could this happen?"
Pui Yi frowned and said: "His Royal Highness Kuilang, the third princess and Marquis Pingyang encountered bandits in southern Xinjiang. His Royal Highness Kui Lang was kidnapped and his whereabouts are unknown. The imperial edict was lost. The people sent by Pingyang Marquis to hand over the documents were all We are almost arriving at the royal capital..."
Bai Muxiao couldn't help but clenched his fists subconsciously, and asked in a trembling voice: "Are you sure about this news?" If Kui Lang really has something in store, then...
Bai Muxiao almost didn't dare to think about it.
"You can't be wrong. This is the message Atachi sent to me quietly just now." Zhui Yi said irritably.
The blood on Bai Muxiao's face instantly faded, her lips trembled slightly, she bit her lower lip and said, "It must be the Zhennan Prince's Palace! Who else would want to do harm to His Highness Kui Lang except Prince Zhennan and his son!"
But even if she knew who did it, so what? !
Zhennan Palace is thousands of miles away, and there is nothing she can do.
Don't tell me, if the Zhennan Palace wants to occupy the land and become the king, it will definitely not let Kui Lang live. So what is the value of his sacrifice? !
All my planning was in vain...
Thinking that I and Han Lingfu are now at odds with each other, and they are incompatible with each other. When Han Lingfu finds out...
Bai Muxiao almost gasped for breath, and the next moment, she felt like cramping in her abdomen.
"It hurts..." Bai Muxiao groaned, covering her stomach, "My stomach hurts so much!"
Her face was pale, she was dripping with cold sweat, and her body slumped down weakly. Bihen beside her nervously supported her and screamed: "Concubine..."
Bihen saw Bai Muxiao's body was wet and shouted: "Please call Po Wen and the imperial doctor quickly, Concubine Bai has given birth prematurely!"
Bai Muxiao has been pregnant for eight months. As the saying goes: "seven live and eight don't live." Bai Muxiao's premature birth caused the entire county and prince's palace to become commotion. This child is Gongjun's If something goes wrong with the king's eldest son, no one can bear it. Naturally, the servants in the palace will not dare to neglect, and they will be busy one by one...
After a while, Po Wen came.
After a while, the imperial doctor also came.
Following that, I saw basins of blood and water being carried out of the house. When a loud cry came from the house, Han Lingfu arrived just in time.
Listening to the child's angry cry, Han Lingfu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Po Wen hurriedly held the baby's swaddling clothes to announce the good news, "He is a healthy grandson!"
Great! Han Lingfu's heart was completely relieved for a moment, and he lowered his head to look at the baby boy in Po Wen's arms.
The newborn baby's face is red and wrinkled, like a monkey's butt, and there are some thin hairs on the top of his head...
Wait!
Han Lingfu suddenly stared, this child's hair seems to be brown...
