On the other side, in the small Buddhist hall in the side courtyard of Prince Jin's Mansion, a reclusive woman was banging wooden fish and chanting sutras.
But when her heart was as calm as water, a woman unexpectedly barged in in a hurry.
"Old madam, old madam, something big has happened! Something big has happened!"
Hearing that the mother-in-law was talking so incoherently, the woman didn't even look at the mother-in-law. She scolded her innocently, "Why is this happening in such a panic? Why is there such a lack of rules! How did I teach you before?" ?」
After being scolded, the mother-in-law carefully calmed down her expression.
I saw that the woman was silent.
The woman wearing a green gown embroidered with silver thread and emeralds said to the old woman in a calm and unhurried manner, "Tell me, what happened."
The mother-in-law was now beyond the point of ecstasy. She just said cautiously, "Madam, the young lady has given birth. She has given birth to a little princess weighing seven pounds."
Hearing this, the woman's previously dull face finally showed a hint of emotion, and she happily said, "Really?"
After the words fell, she had already stood up, "Then let's go over and take a look."
Hearing what the woman said, the woman just said, "Old madam, what we are doing is not in line with the rules. How can there be any reason for elders to meet juniors?"
The woman didn't want to but glanced at the old woman, "Those are my daughter-in-law and eldest granddaughter. They are all my family members. So what if I go and have a look? Do those old men from Yushitai still want to interfere with me?"
After being scolded again by the woman, the mother-in-law did not dare to say any more at the moment.
She finally understood that the final interpretation of the rules in this old lady's mouth actually only rested with her own mouth.
She is the master, and she is just a servant. People have said so. What can a servant do to the master?
So the old woman could only follow the old lady forward silently.
When they arrived at Prince Jin's courtyard, Jiang Nianjiao was taking a nap.
There is now a charcoal stove in the house, and the room is warm.
Zhao Yanzhen was comforting the sleeping Jiang Nianjiao while holding a volume of books and reading.
He was reading interestingly when a maid outside the door hurriedly walked in, but he still remembered to tiptoe.
"Your Highness, Madam heard that the young lady gave birth, and she came to see the young lady and the child in person." The maid quietly reported the good news to Zhao Yanzhen.
Zhao Yanzhen glanced at Jiang Nianjiao, who finally fell asleep, and the baby who was also sleeping in the cradle. After all, he was afraid that the big demon stars, one big and one small, would wake him up again.
So he just got up and walked out gently.
Although there is no wind in the yard, the temperature is not very warm.
The old lady was standing in the yard. Zhao Yanzhen looked at his mother. His mother seemed to be older than when she was in the palace, and his hair had already turned white. Since returning to Prince Jin's Mansion, , she rarely meets outsiders. .
But now she looks far more peaceful and comfortable than before.
Seeing that his mother is still alive, Zhao Yanzhen already feels that time has given him a lot of luck.
When Zhao Yanzhen was sizing up the old lady, the old lady was also sizing up Zhao Yanzhen.
Zhao Yanzhen's figure is now getting taller and taller. After years of hard work at the border, although he is still a gentle and elegant young master, this noble young master seems to have a more decisive and chilling air about him.
And for some reason, there were faint traces of blood on his clothes. Seeing the blood on the clothes, the old lady was somewhat shocked. After all, she still felt sorry for her son.
"Yanzhen, how did you do this? Why are there blood stains on your clothes?"
Facing the old lady's question, Zhao Yanzhen only whispered, "It's a small problem."
After he finished speaking, he seemed unwilling to talk too much about the process of accompanying Jiaojiao during her birth today.
After all, he thought his mother was the most disciplined person. If she knew that he actually entered the delivery room to accompany Jiaojiao, she might be as nagging as the midwife.
Seeing that Zhao Yanzhen didn't want to say more,
The old lady also saw that Zhao Yanzhen was not injured, so as long as he did not suffer any loss, the old lady did not want to ask any more questions. She just said to Zhao Yanzhen, "Where is your wife, Yanzhen?"
Facing his mother's question, Zhao Yanzhen only said calmly, "Mom, Jiaojiao, she just fell asleep."
After hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, the old lady naturally understood what the other party meant. She did not go in immediately. She just asked the people around her to take the ginseng supplements and other things she had prepared to the young couple. warehouse.
Then the old lady just continued, "Did you notify your father?"
Zhao Yanzhen nodded, "After giving birth to the child, I asked the mothers-in-law to inform you that the father's side is farther away. I think it may still be on the bridge."
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, the old lady just nodded.
Naturally, Zhao Yanzhen had no choice but to prevent his mother from seeing Jiang Nianjiao and the child.
So Zhao Yanzhen just stepped aside and said, "Mom, please take a look at Nian Jiao and You Ning."
The old lady nodded. Considering that the mother-in-law next to her was acting startled, she was afraid of disturbing the mother and daughter, so the old lady did not let her in.
However, when the old lady and Zhao Yanzhen entered the house with gentle steps, Jiang Nianjiao woke up at some point.
Of course, it's also possible that Jiang Nianjiao didn't fall asleep at all.
As soon as he saw the old lady coming, Jiang Nianjiao immediately got out of bed to say hello.
However, her intention was quickly discovered by the old lady. The old lady immediately asked Jiang Nianjiao to sit and rest without getting out of bed. Then she took the initiative to walk to Jiang Nianjiao's side, gently holding Jiang Nianjiao's hand and saying, " Gillian, thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Nianjiao glanced at Zhao Yanzhen, then smiled and said, "Mom, it's not hard for me. Yanzhen stayed with me during the birth just now. He also massaged me and asked me to take a deep breath. Although it hurt for a while, but with Yanzhen, With Zhen’s help, I feel a lot more relaxed.”
After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, the old lady finally knew where the stains on Zhao Yanzhen's body came from.
She just glanced at Zhao Yanzhen, but there was no emotion in her eyes. When facing Jiang Nianjiao, the old lady's eyes returned to a somewhat subtle smile, "Really? Then this kid is finally okay." It’s somewhat useful, at least I know how to feel sorry for my wife.”
Zhao Yanzhen didn't expect that one day he would hear compliments from his mother, and he couldn't believe it for a moment.
His mother has been strict with him since he was born. Although her mother has never blamed him, she has never praised herself.
And especially the matter of accompanying children during childbirth. In fact, women giving birth are still regarded as ominous nowadays. Although he doesn't think so, others do, so he originally thought that his mother would find his behavior abrupt.
I don't think she can understand it.
After the old lady praised her son for a few words without leaving any trace, she said to Jiang Nianjiao, "But I think it is appropriate for the husband to accompany him during the birth. After all, it is his wife who is going through hell for him. If a man is not even here at this time and can't make any difference, then when will he be here?"
Jiang Nianjiao naturally understood this and nodded.
It was also because she knew that her mother-in-law was now much more open-minded that Jiang Nianjiao dared to tell the truth about Zhao Yanzhen accompanying her into the delivery room.
In fact, although Queen Min doesn't come out often now, Jiang Nianjiao and Queen Min have already established a deep relationship during Zhao Yanzhen's absence.
Moreover, when she was in the palace before, she would do some meditation every morning and dusk, but soon after, the old lady waived this rule.
But even if the old lady was exempted from the rules, Jiang Nianjiao must have been in a depressed mood at that time thinking about the old lady losing her son, so she often went to see Queen Min. Naturally, after that, Jiang Nianjiao also discovered the change in her mood. After that scene After the catastrophe, Queen Min has become more open-minded now, so although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law live under the same roof, their relationship has become more harmonious.
This little change, Zhao
Naturally, Yanzhen also noticed it. At this moment, he saw that Jiang Nianjiao was accompanied by his mother, so he felt a lot more at ease at the moment.
He whispered, "Mom, Jiaojiao, I'm going to change into a set of clean clothes first."
Facing Zhao Yanzhen's words, the old lady and Jiang Nianjiao just nodded.
After Zhao Yanzhen got the confirmation, he also left the house.
The old lady then asked, "Jiaojiao, where is the child?"
Jiang Nianjiao immediately asked the wet nurse to take out the child and show it to the old lady. However, the old lady waved her hand and said, "Don't wake the child. I can just go over and take a look. Otherwise, the child will be a little troublesome when he cries."
Hearing Queen Min's words, Jiang Nianjiao nodded.
She no longer stopped Queen Min, so Queen Min also went to the cradle to look at the child. At this moment, little You Ning was sleeping, cute and peaceful. Looking at that small ball, Queen Min felt that her heart was about to be crushed.
She had never given birth to a daughter, but now that she saw this little dumpling was peaceful, she smiled and whispered, "This girl is more worry-free than a boy."
After the words fell, Queen Min also stood up. She sat back down next to Jiang Nianjiao.
Then Empress Min just said, "I can see my grandson now, so I don't have any regrets. I just pity your aunt. She loved you the most when she was alive, but now she can't see you getting married and having children. If she sees She will definitely like this child very much."
Suddenly hearing Queen Min mentioning her aunt: Concubine Yuxian, Jiang Nianjiao's face also looked a little disappointed. Why couldn't the palace keep her aunt? To this day, she still refuses to believe that her aunt committed suicide.
Seemingly sensing Jiang Nianjiao's loss, Empress Min immediately changed her words and said, "I am really, why can't I open the pot? Jiaojiao, don't be sad. In fact, if your aunt is alive in heaven, she will see it." Your child will also be happy for you."
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she just smiled and nodded, "What mother said makes sense."
