Chapter 506: The 3rd Prince is weak in drinking milk (Added for [urging for faster update])
If it weren't for Shen Nanqiao's family being strong, and the fact that she had no children after being married to the Lu family for more than a year, the Lu family would have turned their noses up at her.
Fuqiu nodded and continued, "The Lu family originally wanted to use this incident to control the eldest lady, but the eldest lady has lived with this group of people for more than a year, and her temperament is no longer as noble as the moon. Her temper has become extremely hot."
"Immediately, I scratched Mother Lu's face..."
"Although the Lu family is angry, they dare not do anything to the eldest lady."
Hearing this, Nanny Lin couldn't help but sighed: "People often say that women are like rapeseeds. If they fall into fertile fields, they will grow well; if they fall into barren land, they will wither day by day."
"How many women who were originally good-tempered have become shrews after the hardships of marriage..."
"Although the eldest lady used to be aloof and hypocritical, she is not like she is now. I think the Lu family... is really not good to her."
Handan curled her lips: "No matter how bad it is, she stole this marriage herself, who can she blame?"
Fuqiu added, "That being said, the young lady is also concerned about the rumors outside and still wants a child. It is said that she has visited many doctors these days and has been drinking fertility medicine every day."
Shen Zhinian shook his head again.
What's the point of Shen Nanqiao seeking medical treatment? The one who is infertile is Lu Jianglin!
But she and Shen Nanqiao don't have a close sisterly relationship, so naturally she doesn't bother to interfere in other people's affairs.
Fuqiu felt that the queen disliked the eldest lady, but she didn't hate her either. She wouldn't help the eldest lady, but she also didn't want to add insult to injury.
Just treat the other person as a joke.
Time passes slowly...
In the afternoon, Xiao Huizi came: "Your servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Concubine, may Her Majesty be blessed with good fortune and health!"
"Your Majesty, His Majesty said he would come to Zhongcui Palace for dinner tonight."
Shen Zhinian nodded slightly: "Got it."
Then he asked someone to reward Xiao Huizi.
Xiao Huizi took the silver and left happily.
Or maybe the master loved him and never sent him to report bad news. Whenever there was a good thing like this, it was his turn.
Nanny Xiao has already ordered the small kitchen to prepare.
At dinner time, Nangong Xuanyu arrived at Zhongcui Palace on time.
"Your servant greets His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"
Nangong Xuanyu raised his hand, strode into the inner room, and supported Shen Zhinian who was about to bow: "I have said it many times, when there are no outsiders around, there is no need to be polite."
As a rule, Shen Zhinian would never give anyone a chance to catch her. But at this moment, she just smiled and didn't explain.
"Your Majesty is here."
"You have been tired all day. I ordered the kitchen to prepare these meals."
Nangong Xuanyu said "no hurry" and skillfully took the fourth prince from the wet nurse.
He held her and teased her for a few moments, and his sharp features softened: "Why do I feel like Xu has become heavier since I last held him for a few days?"
"Children of this month change every day. If Your Majesty doesn't come to Zhongcui Palace for ten days or half a month, you might not recognize Ah Xu."
When saying this, Shen Zhinian looked at him with a pair of affectionate eyes and a smile.
Nangong Xuanyu's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat...
Is there anything more uncomfortable than being able to see but not be able to eat?
Counting the days, it has been one and a half months since Nian Nian gave birth. In one or two months at most, her body should be fully recovered...
Nangong Xuanyu concealed the deep color in his eyes and said helplessly: "You, you. Whenever I have time, when have I not come to see you and Ah Xu?"
Shen Zhinian certainly knew that it was common for the concubines in the harem not to see the emperor for a month or two, and Nangong Xuanyu came to Zhongcui Palace very frequently.
But so what?
She just wanted to take precautions so that this man wouldn't forget about her and Ah Xu one day.
"I don't mean that. I'm just stating the truth. Ah Xu is growing up really fast."
The eldest and second princes both died young, and the birth of the third prince did bring great joy to the emperor. However, at this moment... Nangong Xuanyu had to admit that people's hearts were biased.
Looking at the fair and tender Ah Xu, he really favored him much more than the Third Prince...
After dinner, Shen Zhinian and Nangong Xuanyu sat by the window and talked.
The two of them already had many topics to talk about, and now with the Fourth Prince around, they had even more to talk about.
Nangong Xuanyu held the Fourth Prince in his arms and listened carefully to Shen Zhinian's description of how many times he drank milk and pooped every day.
Sometimes when milk is vomited, how does the nurse deal with it?
Although they were all trivial topics, the emperor listened very attentively, and the aura around him became increasingly gentle.
Especially when the Fourth Prince smiled at him unconsciously after waking up, at this moment... Nangong Xuanyu really felt that his heart was about to melt...
He finally understood why some princes in history disobeyed their emperors and fathers, and even rebelled, but the emperors were still reluctant to sentence them to death.
Ahem... Ah Xu will definitely be a filial child when he grows up. He can’t think like this.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Nangong Xuanyu handed the Fourth Prince to the wet nurse, told Shen Zhinian to have a good rest, and left Zhongcui Palace.
Li Changde followed behind holding a whisk and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, are you going to the palace of the empress or the young lady, or are you going back to the Yangxin Palace?"
The Third Prince was also his son, so Nangong Xuanyu had always been concerned about him. He got on the dragon sedan and said, "The Third Prince has been handed over to the Imperial Concubine for many days. I have been so busy with government affairs that I have not been able to visit him."
"I happen to be free this time, so let's go see the Third Prince."
Li Changde immediately said: "Go to Yongshou Palace--!!!"
……
All Concubine Liu wanted was the identity of "prince" and she didn't really want to raise someone else's child.
In addition, she loves beauty, and those who can serve in Yongshou Palace, even if they are just maids, are beautiful. The strange appearance of the third prince made Concubine Liu really dislike him.
Therefore, when the third prince arrived at Yongshou Palace, he was left in the care of a wet nurse and a nanny, and she never visited him once.
The eldest princess, on the other hand, would go to the third prince's bedroom every day and talk to him for a long time.
Although the third prince was still young and did not respond, the eldest princess had a taste of being an older sister and still enjoyed it.
After serving the Third Prince for these days, the wet nurses all complained bitterly...
Because eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are human instincts, when they were breastfeeding other children, no matter what the other children were like, drinking milk was not a problem.
But the third prince...seemed very weak when sucking, and the amount of milk he drank every day was really limited. No wonder he was already eight months old, but still looked so skinny.
The wet nurses were afraid that something bad might happen if they delayed any further, so they reported the matter to Concubine Liu.
Concubine Liu had just finished a day's work and was about to take a rest when she frowned impatiently: "If you can't even feed the baby properly, what use do I have for you?!"
