Yutong asked strangely, "Well, Wen Wan, why didn't you see the wet nurse along the way?" The two people who were waiting in the main hall just now didn't look like wet nurses.
Wen Wan answered, "The wet nurse is preparing it outside, but the two of us are weird and don't want to drink the wet nurse's milk directly. We have to drink it from a bottle." Wen Wan wiped her sweat thinking about it. Don't let her two children become adults. She is very stressed.
Ruyu and Yutong both looked at Wenwan with their eyes wide open, their eyes full of disbelief. How can this be. This is incredible.
Wenwan originally intended to let her child drink something else. It's a pity that there is no milk powder here. Cow's milk and goat's milk cannot be drunk by children because their intestines and stomach are very weak. You have to be at least one year old before you can eat fresh milk. Of course, even if there is milk powder. Wenwan will not be used. After all, milk is the most nutritious. This is why Wen Wan insists on feeding the child by herself. Not only is it important to keep the child healthy, but also to feed the child herself, Wen Wan believes that the relationship will be deeper.
Yutong was dumbfounded. This is amazing. Ruyu also looked at Wen Wan curiously, and then looked at the two children on the small bed: "I didn't expect you two children to still care about you so much. It's not in vain that you have suffered so many sins, and you are pregnant in ten months." Give birth to them."
Wen Wan said nonchalantly, "I plan to feed the children myself. The doctor can't say it in the past two days, so I'll let them make do with it. After two days, I will feed them myself. It's better for the children to feed themselves."
Ruyu and Yutong were very shocked and surprised because women from wealthy families were not allowed to feed their children by themselves according to the rules. Wen Wan's move was a bit out of line.
Yutong couldn't accept it, "How can you make fun of a child? Wenwan, you are too risky. How can you"
Wen Wan¡¯s face darkened after hearing this, what does this mean? Could it be that by feeding the child herself, she was risking the child? What is the logic. Could it be that her milk is poisonous, is this a deliberate curse to kill her or to curse her son? Do something.
Xia Yao's face also darkened. Xia Yao can understand why Wen Wan did this. The princess is a very possessive person. For example, General Bai, now it is the child's turn. So Xia Yao was not surprised that Wen Wan's child had to be fed by herself. But Yutong's words sounded harsh to Xia Yao. He said coldly: "I wonder what Princess Feng means? My princess feeds the young master. Is it a joke? Is it risky? I hope Princess Feng can give me an explanation."
Yutong saw Xia Yao's angry expression. His face darkened at that moment. She just thought that Wen Wan had a difficult delivery and her body was not suitable for feeding a child. But seeing Wen Wan, he didn't say a word. Knowing that Wen Wan was also dissatisfied with her words. I feel a little angry. She just said that one person should feed the child in order to prevent others from feeding the child. Don't let your children kiss others. Just kidding with your own life and the life of your child. Now I am kind enough to treat him as a donkey liver and lungs.
Yutong was about to speak. He saw murderous intent in Xia Yao's eyes. Yutong then remembered that this maid had to force a smile and said: "I'm just worried that your body can't bear it. After all, the child can drink the milk of the wet nurse. It's the same."
It¡¯s also very strange to have Ruyu next to you. Wenwan has always attached great importance to rules. Also very disciplined. Seeing Yu Tong's embarrassment, he explained and said to the side: "Wen Wan, you are indeed taking a risk. Hello, the children are the best." They have seen how pitiful a child without a mother is.
Wen Wan smiled and said, "I asked the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor said there is no problem. So I plan to feed it myself. Don't worry, the imperial doctor is here every day and checks the pulse every day. There will be no problem. If there is a problem, they will You won't let me feed you either." Wen Wan felt relieved. Although the two children are smaller than the average child, they are both strong.
Yutong wanted to say something else, but was pushed down by Ruyu. No one will let others feed their children if they can feed themselves. In this way, part of the child's affection must be given to the wet nurse. Her brothers Yuan and Zhang were taken out of their homes right after giving birth and spent most of their time with the wet nurse. As my real mother, the time she spent with him was not as good as that of a wet nurse. Although the two children were no strangers to her, she felt very sad when she thought about them. Wen Wan can be her own master, so why should outsiders like them interfere?
This phenomenon exists in many wealthy families. The son is close to the wet nurse. When he grows up, he will be filial and respectful to his own mother, but he will not be as close as the wet nurse. Ruyu was silent. She felt the same. So I understand the gentle behavior. However, she could only watch.
Wen Wan looked at the sad Ru Yu, with a different look on her face, "Ru Yu, what's wrong with you? How come I've lost so much weight since I've only seen you so often."
"It's sweltering in the summer and I have no appetite for anything, so I lost some weight." Ru Yu smiled lightly.
The two talked for a while?, Yutong looked a little hesitant, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Wenwan, I see there are a lot of pomegranates on the pomegranate tree in your yard. Can you give me a few?"
Wen Wan opened her mouth. Now, there are still a few pomegranates missing in the palace. What is this situation? He muttered in his heart, but with a smile on his face: "This is not a rare thing. Xia Ying, go"
Yutong quickly stopped and said, "Wen Wan, I want to pick it myself. Do you think it's OK?" After you've picked it, you can't let anyone else cut it. If it passes through other people's hands, it won't be effective.
Wen Wan looked at Xia Yao, what's going on? Just now Yutong himself said that he would leave things to his servants. Why are you taking action now? Xia Yao blinked a few times and said she didn't know.
Wen Wan suppressed her doubts: "Sure"
Yutong went to the yard to pick pomegranates by himself. Wen Wan asked Ru Yu: "What's going on? If you want to eat pomegranates, just ask someone to buy them. Why, Baba, what happened to my pomegranate?"
Ruyu said with a smile: "Of course you can buy pomegranates, but you can't buy the pomegranates in your yard." After a pause, he said: "I'm telling you, Yutong is in a hurry. The concubines have come in, but She has been silent for more than two years. I heard that the pomegranates in your yard are spiritual, and she wants to be blessed!"
Wen Wan was stunned: "When did the pomegranates in my yard become spiritual? How could I not know? You guys haven't seen them here often before. Why, how did they become spiritual?"
Ruyu explained the cause and effect: "Now it is said in the capital that your pomegranate tree is spiritual. It is because no one can come in casually in your yard, otherwise the roots of your pomegranate tree will not be seen! "
Wen Wan opened her mouth again: "Who, who spread this nonsense" At that time, she was just giving herself a comfort. Give yourself a pat on the back. How come the pomegranate tree is spiritual? This is too ridiculous! These people still have great imaginations.
Xia Yao also wanted to laugh a little. At that time, many people saw the princess muttering to the pomegranate tree. Then she entered the delivery room and gave birth to the baby not long after.
After a while, Yutong came in. I held two pomegranates in my hand. Wen Wan said with a smile: "Ru Yu, it just so happens that you have two sons, but you are still missing a daughter. You go and pick one. Maybe you will have a daughter!" Wen Wan was also joking.
Ruyu shook his head.
Yutong went back after getting the pomegranate. Xia Yao looked at Yutong's back with contempt in her eyes. If you want something, just come. Who is this person?
After Yutong left, Ruyu chatted with Wenwan for a while. Wen Wan looked at Ru Yu: "Why isn't Bao Yun coming with you this time?
Ruyu smiled bitterly and said: "It's not all those messy things. Yesterday, a pregnant concubine said that Baoyun hit her and wanted to beat her to death. I stopped her. It was just a collision, and the fetal air was released somewhere. . But I was afraid of something bad, so I sent Bao Yun out immediately. I didn¡¯t expect that the woman had a miscarriage in the middle of the night. The doctor said it was a shame to go ahead. After a trip to the palace, my mother scolded me severely for this."
"Why?" Wen Wan was a little confused. For a concubine. He just doesn't give face to his wife. In the past eight years, Ruyu has also had Brother Yuan and Brother Chang under his knees. He has also taken care of the backyard and traveled around for him, which is also a great achievement for his hard work. Moreover, the eldest brother Yuan is the first grandson of the emperor's uncle. Brother Yuan is also steady and intelligent, and the emperor also loves his eldest grandson very much. To put it in Wen Wan's words, Ruyu's status is as solid as a rock. Besides, the prince took in two concubines after they got married, and they were all fine, and I didn't hear anything wrong. Ruyu is a generous and virtuous woman, who strictly abides by the three obediences and the four virtues, and is not a jealous person. Even if the prince fell in love with a woman now, it would not shake her status. If Ru Yu is such a decent person, how could anyone around him touch the belly of a pregnant concubine. This looks like a clumsy strategy.
Ruyu looked sad, "You have been recuperating during this period, and the people in your mansion probably didn't let you worry too much. My father was reprimanded by the emperor a few days ago, so these people just followed suit. Queen, I guess that's it. I hate that our Hai family can¡¯t give the prince much help.¡±
Wen Wan burst out laughing: "You Hai family can't help you, so why should you expect the Guo family to help? There is no useful direct lineage of the Guo family, and the people who support the appearance are still relying on concubines. The Hai family is famous all over the world. It is famous that a quarter of the civil servants from the capital came from Haijia Academy. These are extremely useful resources. It is really ridiculous to find such a reason. Besides, with the prince's current status, what kind of support does he need? ? Are you still looking for help from the military?" Wen Wan's words were serious. Looking for military forces is not just for rebellion.
Ru Yu's face turned pale after hearing this: "Wen Wan, it's nothing" Ru Yu really wanted to say that she didn't have the third prince's concubine.of assistance. But Wen Wan's seemingly joking words blocked her next words. The emperor does not grant military power, and if the prince dares to encroach on military power, he wants to rebel. The emperor will never tolerate it.
Wen Wan waved her hand: "Don't explain. I don't mean anything else. I know your embarrassment. Don't worry about the affairs in the court and take care of the backyard of the East Palace. The queen and the prince still don't have the decency they should have." Without you, the emperor's uncle is the most disciplined person. As long as you don't make a big mistake, the prince will not dare to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife. So, what can she do to suppress you? Protect these two children." Although Wen Wan was short-tempered, she would not let Ru Yu continue. She is not stupid. She always wants to dig holes for her to jump out of. Wen Wan feels that in the future, she can still interact as little as possible. Ruyu has passed her bottom line.
After hearing what Wen Wan said, Ru Yu held Wen Wan's hand and tears fell out of her eyes for some reason: "Wen Wan, I can only tell the truth here. Mother, you are looking at me more and more now. It's not pleasing to the eye. The prince is going to me less and less. His whole heart is drawn to me, the princess, who is good-looking."
Wen Wan's eyebrows twitched: "I seem to remember that Guo Yu'er doesn't look very good. Her appearance can only be considered delicate. Is her method very powerful?"
Xia Yao is becoming more and more impatient. What's the matter? The princess came here to use the strategy of mourning the soldiers. The princess is not someone who is easily moved by tears.
Ruyu smiled bitterly: "Ms. Guo is the prince's direct cousin, and the two of them are quite close. The mother may have planned to marry her to the prince in the past. She sent two senior nuns to teach her. The method, It¡¯s one of the best. What¡¯s more, cough.¡± Ruyu found it difficult to speak. It is said that Guo's skills in bed are second to none. And the body is fragrant. What man can't love him so much when he sees her? Not to mention that the prince had another kind of relationship with her.
Wen Wan doesn¡¯t need to listen to Ru Yu¡¯s words, just look at Ru Yu¡¯s unspeakable look. I had already guessed it in my heart. The first thought is, does the Queen have a pig brain? Raising my niece like a prostitute. The prince's backyard is going to be a mess. Let the prince's backyard catch fire. The prince is just a prince, not an emperor. The emperor is now in his prime. Nothing will happen in twenty years.
Although Wenwan doesn¡¯t care about Guo Yuer. But Wenwan is because of the queen's foresight. I became more vigilant. The queen was probably planning to let Guo Yu'er take the throne, and then prepare to make Guo's son the prince, so that not only the prince, but also the mother's family of the next emperor would also come from the Guo family. The thought of making the Guo family prosperous forever.
This is also because you are blinded by lard and want to be rich forever. If it weren't for taking care of the face of the crown prince and the two direct princes below. Wen Wan had already made the Guo family disappear from the capital. I also want the Guo family to be rich forever. She planned to follow the example of Empress Dowager Longyu of the previous dynasty. She was a queen, her niece was a queen, and she also wanted her grandniece to become a queen. Queen Mother Longyu is a master of tricks and shrewd, but even so. So what in the end, after the death of Queen Mother Longyu, the Long family implicated the nine clans. Just the Queen's pig brain,
Wen Wan once again lamented that the emperor¡¯s grandfather was too partial at first. Look at the original Princess Zhao, she looked like the mother of a country. This queen, cough. He's just a drag. Fortunately, the emperor established a prince two years earlier and gradually delegated power in the following year. The emperor had real power when he became the prince. Otherwise, there are mills.
Wen Wan looks down on the queen a lot in her heart, but she is still vigilant in her heart. She is not alone now. The queen is now in charge of the harem, so it's still easy to lay surprises for her. No, we can't make the queen's life easier.
Wen Wan had a general direction in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and said, "You think too much, and so many things will happen. Guard the two children well, and don't let that woman reach out to the children." . It¡¯s true for Bao Yun. As your personal maid, how can she be so careless and get caught so easily? It¡¯s better not to send you out. "
Ru Yu¡¯s heart sank when she saw that Wen Wan Yun Dan Feng Qing¡¯s appearance was different from what she expected. But the sadness on his face became more and more sad. "Wen Wan, I really can't guard against that woman's methods. Not only the queen mother is attracted to her, but even the prince's heart is won over by her. Now, I feel that it is difficult to deal with her. Wen Wan , You gave so many ideas to Yuxiu and Meier before, please give me some advice this time."
It is impossible for Wen Wan to interfere in their affairs. What happened last time has taught her a big lesson, and she must never be soft-hearted again. Moreover, Ru Yu's matter also involves matters in the backyard of the East Palace. If you are not careful, you will get involved in a fight in the harem, or even a fight for the right to inherit the throne. She would never let herself be involved in the fight for the right to inherit the throne.
There is a faint smile on the gentle face. That faint smile is alienation.
Xia Yao said coldly: "Princess, my princess is pregnant because of her illness."?Somewhat difficult. Not in good spirits. It's time to take a break. Let¡¯s talk about it next time if there¡¯s anything else. "
Ruyu calmed down and immediately apologized for his rudeness, "Wenwan, I'm sorry, I just panicked. This matter is Dong Palace's business after all, and I can't implicate you. I was really rude just now."
Wen Wan asked someone to bring water to clean her face and put her makeup back on. "Actually, don't worry too much. I still say the same thing. As long as Brother Yuan and Brother Yu are doing well, your position will be secure. As for everything else, Yes, you should have understood after such a long time. "In the royal family, interests come first and power is the most important thing. Those who extravagantly hope for such things as true love and sincerity will only go to meet the King of Hell early. If the prince likes Guo, then just like him. As long as the emperor is around, the prince will not dare to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife. Even the queen can only play off her mother-in-law's power at most. Not much else can be done.
Wenwan is very clear. It's not that Ruyu doesn't understand, she just understands so well that she seeks help from herself. Unfortunately, she won't be involved for a while. She would find a way to cut off this path. but not now. Apart from herself, the emperor would not allow her to get involved in the fight among the princes. Therefore, what she can do now is to be fully prepared. Accumulate enough power. No one can touch her, she is not alone now. She also has two children to protect.
Xia Yao had no taboos and sneered: "Princess, the princess often complains to you. She just hopes to get your sympathy and help her. It's the matter of the emperor's harem. No matter what. As long as you interfere, it's a typo. That¡¯s a taboo thing.¡±
Wen Wan naturally knows that this is taboo. No matter how much the emperor loves her, he can't let her get involved in his backyard. Just listen. You have to make people look bad.
¡°It¡¯s probably because the prince¡¯s situation is getting worse and worse, that¡¯s why Ru Yu is panicking. But so what, you can't hook her up for the sake of the prince. Not to mention that there was a gap between her and the prince. Even if there is no gap. She's not that great either. Sacrifice yourself for others.
When Xia Yao saw Wen Wan didn't say anything, she thought Wen Wan had softened her heart: "Princess, this is not the time to be soft-hearted. No matter what she does, it is her life. And, even if it is as hard as she said, she enjoys what others cannot. To enjoy the honor, you should pay a higher price than others. "Wen Wan often says that you will always pay much more than you receive.
Wen Wan looked at the withered flowers in the vase: "Go and have the flowers replaced." Seeing Xia Yao's expression of disapproval: "Look when did I become such a senseless person? I never sympathized before. , I won¡¯t sympathize even more now. I¡¯m just thinking that if the queen¡¯s arrogance continues like this, her hands will probably reach into my mansion. And I¡¯m worried that if the queen gains power, I will lose my temper. It is also dangerous for the child to enter the palace. "For Wen Wan, the harem is now a dragon's den. If nothing happens, Wen Wan will never bring her child into the palace. As for Ruyu, everyone has his or her own destiny. She is not a savior. If she can help within her ability, she will not help if she exceeds the limit and endangers herself.
Xia Yao still feels that the Queen is a time bomb, but it is impossible to remove it. The reason is just as Wen Wan worries, the three princes, and if this matter is not kept secret, the emperor will be dissatisfied with the princess. Xia Yao thought for a moment and said: "It has been six years since the emperor ascended the throne. It's time to fill up the harem. I think if more beauties come into the palace, the emperor's harem will be more lively. The queen doesn't have that much time to pay attention to you. As for The princess will be rare in the future."
Wen Wan shook his head. For her, a woman entering the harem is definitely a life-ruining thing. It's just that she just moved in and is not yet a member of the harem. I was so frightened that I was terrified. Sending those young girls in is a crime!
Xia Yao disagreed with Wen Wan's attitude: "The emperor is now rich and powerful. It would be cruel for the princess to be sent to the harem. But for many people, it might not be an opportunity to fly on a branch and become a phoenix. Princess, even this time If we don¡¯t pick this problem, someone will do it. It¡¯s just a matter of two days earlier and two days later.¡±
Wen Wan still firmly believes that no matter who wants to be drafted by the emperor. But she definitely won't take this issue. Because her conscience can't bear it. Sending so many young girls to the harem is tantamount to sending them to die. The hearts and livers of people who are not dead will slowly turn black. If she was asked to do this evil, she couldn't do it.
Seeing that Wen Wan was unwilling, Xia Yao sighed in her heart that the princess was still so soft-hearted. Sometimes being soft-hearted is a sharp sword.
Ru Yu got on the carriage, and the personal maid Baozhu beside her said carefully: "Mother, Madam Guo wishes the princess to die and has always wanted to take revenge on the princess. Why didn't you tell the princess?"
Ru Yu¡¯s bitterness and sadness just now have long since dissipated, with a calm look on his face: "Didn¡¯t I already say it today? There are some things that cannot be said clearly, just some random words." If she guessed correctly. Wen Wan actually already has a countermeasure. It is absolutely impossible for her??The Queen asked Guo to go up step by step. Because if the Queen and the Guo family go up, it means that Wen Wan and her children will be in danger. In the past, Wenwan might not have cared about it, but she didn't even care about it. But not anymore. For the sake of her children, Wenwan will definitely nip these in the bud.
Baozhu said strangely: "Empress?" Yes, what did you say? It was said that the Guo family was favored by the crown prince and favored by the queen.
Ruyu felt a little sad. In fact, she was forced to do nothing. Otherwise, he would not show weakness to Wen Wan. It's a pity that Wen Wan is still unwilling to help her at this point: "The Queen has a blood feud with Wen Wan. If the Queen gains power, Wen Wan's life will not be easy in the future. However, the emperor is now in strong health, and Wen Wan will not There is something to express. But not saying anything does not mean that she is waiting for death. If she was alone in the past, it would be possible. Even if she has two children, Wen Wan will never let the queen have a good life. ." As long as Wenwan takes action, she can't clean herself up. If you get fishy, ??you have to get into the water.
If Wen Wan were here, it would definitely be different. Why did Ruyu address the queen directly as empress instead of as queen. It can be seen from this title that Ruyu has a deep hatred for the queen.
Baozhu nodded, "If the princess can deal with the queen, your life will be easier, my dear wife." But looking at the princess's appearance, she didn't want to talk about this topic at all.
Ruyu said nothing. But I thought to myself that if Wen Wan could take action against the Queen, her current life would not be so difficult. The prince is now leaning more and more towards the Guo family, and because of the death of his grandfather, although his cousin Hei Shilin is talented, his qualifications are limited after all, and it will take at least ten years to get a high position. It will take at least twenty years before I can help her. She couldn't wait.
After Xia Yao waited for Ruyu to leave, she was a little unhappy: "Princess, if you have such a heart, why not take good care of Brother Rui and Brother Jin! As soon as the Crown Princess opened her mouth, I knew that she had no good intentions. These are all Who knows you have a hard time giving birth and need a good rest."
Wen Wan said with a smile: "You think they are all you! I wish I was good! If they can use it, use it. Let them do whatever they want, I will just listen." Thinking of this, Wen Wan said unhappily: "Speaking of which, Bai Shinian hasn't even sent a letter yet."
Xia Yao smiled and helped clarify: "It's too far. It takes half a month for a one-way trip, and it takes several days for flying pigeons to send messages! I think if the general knows about it, he will definitely be very happy. By the way, The princess just said not to speak ill of the general in front of the children! Why did she say it again? "
Wen Wan muttered that I didn't say anything bad about him, I was just thinking about why there was no letter yet. Wen Wan looked at her two sons and said: "Dabao, Xiaobao, you must not imitate your father. Run away so that I can't see you." Ah! By the way, I won¡¯t be able to join the army or serve as a soldier. I won¡¯t let you go through this suffering.¡± Of course, let¡¯s just talk about it. It is up to the children to decide how they want to go in the future.
Xia Yao watched Wen Wan muttering with the two children and went out with a smile. (To be continued)
