Chapter 87
February 1st, the fifth year of Qingfeng
Ayu held the bed and looked out from time to time, with a hint of timidity on her eyebrows.
Zhou Qi held her body and said, "Master, don't worry, when the time comes, the little prince will naturally be sent back."
The sunshine outside came in through the window prints. Madam Song did not leave after Ayu gave birth. It was thanks to her medicinal supplies, and a little bloody color was restored on Ayu's face.
She looked at the sky outside, subconsciously placing her lips and said, "But, it's almost past Chen time."
Zhou Qi smiled and shouted at her: "The little prince is going to take a three-day banquet, and it is not a tiger's den. In addition, there will be no accident with the emperor and the queen mother."
"Besides, didn't Madam Song and Liuzhu both go with you?"
Having said that, how could she feel at ease if she didn't see the prince coming back with her own eyes?
Ayu was worried in Xianyun Palace, but the Taihe Palace was bustling, and Feng Yu frowned unconsciously.
The little prince was held by the old man Quanfu who was specially invited and bathed in a basin filled with hot water. This was one of the three rituals to wash the filth, but it was still a little cold now. Whether it was a sudden touch of water or a strange embrace, the little prince kept crying.
Her little face was flushed and she was almost unable to breathe. Feng Yu pursed his lips tightly, calmed down his breath and tightened his finger.
Even if he felt distressed, Feng Yu knew that this was a necessary process. He not only cleansed the body, but also had the meaning of eliminating disasters and eliminating difficulties. He valued the prince, so he naturally would not save this step.
After all, it was the prince. No one dared not to take his crying in his eyes. The process was quickly completed. The little prince was wiped clean. Feng Yu immediately said:
"It's cold, send the little prince into the back hall."
Madam Song and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said that they were sent to the back hall, but in fact they could be sent back to Xianyun Palace. Several of them carefully protected the prince and retreated immediately.
At this time, Feng Yu let go of his finger, sat back in his head, and looked at Yang De.
Xianyun Palace, Madam Song and others came back, which made Ayu completely relieved. Although it was getting warmer now, there were still ground dragons burning in the hall, for fear that the little prince would catch a cold if he didn't pay attention at night.
Ayu took the prince, turned her head to look at Madam Song, and asked in a low voice:
"Can the emperor give the prince a name?"
You can't always call the prince like this, it's quite troublesome.
Madam Song immediately replied: "Master, don't be anxious. Giving a name is the most important thing. You must be neglected, let alone the prince is still young..."
She didn't say the rest of her words, and the title was often because she was afraid that the child would be too young and could not suppress the great blessings.
However, according to the emperor's emphasis on the prince, the least he was given the name by the full moon ceremony.
Ayu only asked one question, and after getting this answer, she stopped asking immediately.
In short, as long as it is for the child, she can accept it whether it is troublesome or not.
——
Ayu gave birth at the end of January, and she had a premature birth. Zhou Qi valued her body care too much. Now Yin Yage's peach blossoms are about to bloom, so Ayu was allowed to get out of bed and walk around.
On this day, Ayu almost immediately said: "Hurry! Make some hot water, I want to take a shower."
If you talk about the hardest days these days, besides the lack of food every day, it is a problem of being unable to take a bath.
After one month, Ayu felt that she was almost odor. No matter what she said during this period, she would only wipe her body with a silk towel, and she would not be happy.
Zhou Qi had no choice but to let someone prepare hot water in. When she leaned in the bathtub, Ayu was really relieved.
Through a screen, the little prince was placed on the soft couch, soft and soft, sleeping soundly, while the nanny, Liuzhu and others were guarding it.
Only Zhou Qi was left here. She lay on the edge of the bathtub, her beautiful eyes looked at the screen, and asked softly as the heat: "Can you send someone to Kunhe Palace?"
She was pregnant at the beginning and didn't need to pay her respects. Now that she has passed the confinement period, she will be unreasonable if she doesn't pay her respects.
Zhou Qi nodded: "I'm leaving. After the imperial physician said that the master could get out of bed, I sent someone over."
Upon hearing this, Ayu nodded as if nothing had happened. Her eyes fell on her body, and the water droplets slid down her arms, causing a touch of spring. She suddenly asked:
"Who has the emperor recruited to serve the bed these days?"
Ayu couldn't serve her before, so she had never inquired about these things, especially after Xu moved out, she became even less concerned about these things, and the little prince occupied all her mind.
But now, since she is in a state of ease, she naturally has to care about these things.
She asked suddenly, but fortunately these were not secrets. Zhou Qi knew naturally, and she lowered her voice:
"Since I've been beating Concubine Shu, you are pregnant again, and the most favored person in this harem is Concubine Shen."
"Although I can't compare to the Shu Concubine who was the first, it's almost the same."
Ayu was not surprised by this. Among the new concubines, Shen Guipin suppressed others since she entered the palace. When Shu Concubine was there, she dared to directly confront Shu Concubine. How could she be suppressed by others?
She stroked her forehead and remembered the few people mentioned in Zhou Qi's words in her heart.
The next day, Ayu was awakened by Zhou Qi early. She hadn't gotten up so early for a long time. She sat in front of the dressing table, with her face still feeling tired.
Zhou Qi ordered rouge for her, but she had not applied any makeup for more than half a year. Ayu suddenly felt uncomfortable. She was wearing a spring skirt that the Shangyi Bureau had just sent yesterday, with a broadband around her waist, and the fat color was bright.
The people in the palace had already received the news that Yu Xiuyi would come to pay his respects today. When Ayu arrived at Kunhe Palace, there were already many people sitting inside.
She raised her eyebrows without a trace, and this person was a little bit together.
The queen had already come out and saw her, she smiled: "You are just in a good state, why did you come so early?"
Ayu walked over with a smile, bent her eyes and said, "I haven't paid any respect to the Empress for a long time. I miss it so much. Seeing the time, I rushed over. Empress, you should ask Aunt Jinyu to add two more plates of pastries for me."
The queen lit her forehead and said angrily: "I think you are not thinking about this palace, but the pastries in this palace!"
Ayu avoided her fingertips in a pretty way: "This is not what I said, I should not rely on you."
Everyone laughed at the two of them. No matter what they thought, they were all smiling, as if they were involved.
When it was said outside that when Shen Guipin arrived, Ayu had already eaten two pieces of pastries and was holding tea to moisten her throat.
She was the last one to arrive. Now the only place where A Yu was left in the palace was empty. When Shen Guipin came in, his steps seemed to be paused, but there seemed to be no.
She sat beside Ayu, and her cold eyes swept towards Ayu: "How did Yu Xiuyi come out today?"
Ayu put down the teacup and smiled with her face: "It was the emperor and the empress who loved me before. Now that I am better, I will naturally come to pay my respects to the empress."
When Concubine Chen heard her openly, her face became more and more dull. Ayu ignored her. Anyway, she looked so cold to everyone except the emperor.
There is nothing wrong recently, and the queen has not kept them for long: "The Queen Mother is feeling unwell today, so it is inconvenient to go to pay tribute. You all will leave."
When Ayu saw Zhou Xiurong outside Kunhe Palace, she was not surprised.
Zhou Xiurong went to see her a few days ago and said with a smile: "I didn't change my words at that time, otherwise I would have to change my mind now."
Ayu walked up to her, looked at her, and saw the blueness in her eyes, and frowned slightly: "I heard that the princess was sick yesterday, is it serious?"
Zhou Xiurong walked side by side with her: "The people below were not in good condition, which made the princess cold. After drinking two doses of medicine, I saw each other better today."
The flowers in the imperial garden began to bloom with green buds. Both of them now had ceremonial guards, but it was useless. Ayu broke a flower and handed it to her: "Then why don't you take leave with the Empress?"
How important is the princess to be more important than the body of a princess?
Zhou Xiurong looked at the buds that had not yet grown, tender and fragile. She said, "It's almost done, so I don't need to look at it."
Ayu swept the blue color in her eyes and stopped talking.
The two of them didn't have a long chat. After they parted, Ayu rushed back immediately, but on the trail, she stopped.
Ayu looked at the person not far away, looked at the direction she was going, turned her head to Zhou Qi and said, "Do Miss Zhang often go to the imperial front?"
Zhou Qi was also slightly stunned and immediately shook her head: "I have never heard of it."
Ayu twisted the veil and looked at the anxiety on Miss Zhang Er's face. She suddenly remembered the Queen's words just now, and the Queen Mother felt uncomfortable.
Ayu guessed what she was doing, narrowed her eyes slightly, curled her lips and said softly:
"The Queen Mother is not feeling well, so let's go and have a look."
While she was talking, she turned her feet and headed towards Cining Palace.
When Yu Xiuyi came to visit the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and Madam Zhang were both surprised. The Empress Dowager twisted the Buddhist beads: "Why is she here?"
Madam Zhang: "Maybe I heard from the Empress, but let her come in?"
"Please come in." The empress dowager pinched the Buddhist beads and her eyes closed slightly.
When Ayu came in, she saw the queen mother leaning on the couch, looking down on her face. She bowed her knees and felt a hint of worry on her eyebrows:
"I would like to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager sat up with her body and said with a smile: "Get up quickly and give Yu Xiuyi a seat." The second half of the sentence was ordered by the palace servant.
"Why are you here?"
As soon as Ayu sat down, she frowned and worried when she heard this: "I heard from the Queen Mother that the Queen Mother was a little uncomfortable, and I was worried, so I thought about coming over and having a look, would I disturb the Queen Mother?"
"You are intent." The Empress Dowager said this, and seemed not very interested in mentioning her body. She changed the subject and said, "Is the prince good?"
When talking about this, Ayu smiled: "Okay, very good. I will take him to visit the Empress Dowager another day."
The Empress Dowager shook her head immediately: "No need. The Ai family is not feeling well, and it will be bad if the prince is dyed."
The palace servants brought tea and pastries to Ayu. At this moment, a series of footsteps came from outside the palace.
Feng Yu quickly walked in from outside, with several imperial physicians following him, and his face was not good: "Mother, I heard that you have not hired an imperial physician yet?"
After saying this, he looked at Ayu, and flashed in surprise, and his eyebrows were slightly relaxed: "When did it come?"
Ayu's eyes swept across the second girl who had just stepped in and she was dressed quietly: "If you go back to the emperor, I have just arrived soon."
Feng Yu nodded, then frowned and went to see the queen mother. The queen mother said helplessly: "But they are all old problems, so there is no need to hire an imperial physician."
While speaking, the Queen Mother also saw the person following her, and the smile on the corner of her mouth faded.
