He Yao's own breast milk was not enough for her three children, so she tried her best to feed her youngest daughter first. As for the other two children, the wet nurse actually gave them more milk. This naughty child who was more greedy for his grandmother than his mother was now the one among the three siblings who received the most care from his mother. He is also the only child who drinks his mother's milk from beginning to end.
Smelling the fragrance of milk that filled He Yao's body at this moment, and looking at the rosy little faces of the three children, Huang Qiong said: "In a few days, these three children will be full moon. What do you want to do with this full moon wine? No matter what, , these three children are my eldest son and eldest daughter, and they are also the first three children of our British royal family. Especially these three girls will enter the palace at the full moon, so I thought it would be better to have a grand event. "
"Anyway, now that the old man has given you status, there is nothing to worry about, as long as you are happy. However, it depends on what you want to do. After all, you are the housekeeper's wife now. You should make up your mind early. I'll start writing a post here. Notify me as soon as possible so that you don't get into trouble by making excuses at the last minute. It also saves the sycophants in the DPRK from always asking questions."
He Yao, who was nestling in Ai Lang's arms, shook her head when she heard this and said: "What I mean is that the whole family just has a meal together. You are about to get married. At this time, the big event is not to go to Guilin County Prince's Mansion." , and do you still have the face of Sister Situ? Besides, the world is not very peaceful now, if you do something like this at this time, how will the people of this world view you?"
"Now that these three children have been raised, what will you do when Duan Jin gives birth? She is the eldest princess of Dali Kingdom, and her status is the most noble among all the women around you. If you don't do it then, what will you make her think? , what will she think when the child in her belly grows up? They are all your children, at least they have the same status in the house. If it is done for these three children, why not her child? "
"Even I know that Duan Jin is not the kind of person who is picky and picky. But if you do it, if she doesn't do it until her child is one month old, it will not only be wronged by her, but also by her child. But if you can do it, Now, I don’t allow her identity to be spread out. Once someone recognizes her, it will be a big trouble. Whether it can be done or not will be a headache. "
"Besides, there are so many women around you now. I see them in Wanqing, after I got pregnant, they have been eager to give you a child. There are only these three children in the house now, and there is no certainty about the future. How many will be added every year. When the time comes, will this child have a big party to celebrate his birthday? If he does, let’s not talk about what the officials and people in the world think of you."
"The government can't afford this expense alone. You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, but I can't be so lavish. Master, I know you love me, but the more this happens, the more I have to think more about it. Here. I've done it, but if I don't do it for them when the time comes, doesn't it show that you are favoring one over the other? If you want your home to be clean and not to cause chaos in the house, you still have to hold a bowl of water flat."
"Anyway, there is no one in my natal family, and there is no one who needs me to fight for their face. I will organize a lot of things during the full moon, and I am afraid of ruining the blessings of several children. I thought, it is just a family gathering in the house. That’s right. I’ll use some of my own resources and send people to the refugee areas in the outer city to drop off some food and clothing, so as to accumulate more blessings for the children. It’s much better than eating and drinking too much.”
After all, He Yao is a virtuous person. He Yao thinks very comprehensively and has a long-term perspective. However, Huang Qiong could only smile bitterly at He Yao's thoughts. He Yao had a good idea, as he could now consider his status, and these were his eldest sons and daughters. Although he was not a direct descendant, how could all the officials in the court give up this opportunity to flatter him?
Even the Prince of Guilin County would probably make a show of giving a small and expensive gift. For the son of a concubine, no matter whether your mother is favored, she must really care about her in her heart. But whether to give this full-moon gift or not is equivalent to an attitude, or even a question of one's side. Huang Qiong also knew that He Yao was right. If you make a big deal at this time, it will have a very bad impact on you.
But this full moon wine, whether she manages it or not, may not turn out as He Yao hopes. However, He Yao's worry is indeed a problem for Huang Qiong, who has quite a few women around him now. Once this head is opened, things will be difficult to handle later. Just as He Yao said, whether to do it or not will be a headache.
After thinking about it, Huang Qiong decided to do what He Yao wanted first. However, when He Yao mentioned her mother's family, Huang Qiong remembered something and said, "Sister Yao, do you miss your family? I'd better help you find them. I heard you mention that your father was an official. It shouldn't be a troublesome thing to find. Although my mother-in-law is gone, my father-in-law is still there after all."
Now that she is a mother, why doesn't He Yao miss her relatives? But when she thought about her past experience, He Yao said sadly: "Master, there is no need to look for them. Even if they come, I don't want to see them again. Back then, he treated me as a burden and dumped me so ruthlessly. When I gave it to my adoptive father, I treated it as myself and no longer had any family.”
Just thinking of one person, He Yao hesitated for a moment and then said: "Master, if you really want to help me find my natal family, I hope you can help me find my sister. When I was six years old, my hometown was hit by a disaster. , my mother took my sister and I to seek refuge with my father who was an official abroad. My sister was only two years older than me at the time, but she had always been very good to me.
"I was thirsty and asked for water on the way, so my sister went to help me beg for water. But I never came back. At that time, there were only three of us, mother and daughter. With disaster victims everywhere, we How dare I go on the road alone? On this road, I walked with a large group of victims. At that time, my sister had not come back, and the victims who came out together were almost gone, and it was almost dark. "
"My mother didn't dare to wait any longer, so she could only take me with her. At that time, people were so hungry that their eyes glowed green. Once people, especially women and children, were left alone, they were not the ones with red eyes. If a person is caught, killed and eaten, he or she will be devoured by a wolf or a wild dog. At that time, the wild dog’s eyes are red because it eats people. When they see a lone person, they dare to pounce on them and bite them.”
"My mother really didn't dare to take the young me and stay to wait for my sister. No matter how much she felt reluctant to let go, in order to save herself and me, she had no choice but to give up waiting and leave with the group of victims. When I arrived at my father's place, there was no Thinking that my father had already taken two concubines, his thoughts were focused on his two new loves, and he didn’t think about us mother and daughter at all.”
"When I found out that my sister was missing, I not only didn't try to find her, but also accused my mother of not going to work for him. He even left us, mother and daughter, in a side room without any care. My mother took me through all the hard work along the way. , not only was he worried about being caught and eaten, but he also often suffered from hunger. My father had been an official for many years, and the money he sent home every year was only enough for us, the third mother, to make ends meet."
"He was living and drinking outside, and took two concubines one after another. His mother was serving the elderly at home, and all her limited savings were spent on treating illnesses for her grandparents. She didn't even have any extra clothes on her. When he went out to escape, he didn't even have to pay for his expenses. Yes. I had to rely on begging for food along the way to barely support him until he took office. One of my daughters was lost, and her husband was so ruthless. My mother fell ill and never got up."
"I have been blaming myself for the fact that my sister was lost. Before she died, she held my hand and told me to find my sister. In fact, not only after the incident with my mother, I also hated myself. Why did I hate myself at that time? So ignorant. I came down from Hengshan Mountain and went to the place where my sister was lost to inquire about it, but unfortunately I have never been able to do so."
"Master, if you really want to help me find my mother's family, help me find my sister. If I recognize my mother's family, it's just this sister, and the others have nothing to do with me. His ruthlessness towards our mother and daughter, It broke our hearts a long time ago. During those years when they left me, they didn’t even give me a penny. If it weren’t for my adoptive father and stepmother, I would have starved to death long ago and I don’t know where I am.”
"Actually, my original name was not He Yao. My surname is Chen. Because the day I was born happened to be a full moon, my mother named me Chen Yue. Chen Yao is the name of my sister. After my sister was lost, in order to commemorate her , my mother changed my name to Chen Yao. Later, my father was reborn, and I was left to be raised by my adoptive father. I took my adoptive mother's surname, and then I changed my name to He Yao."
Seeing He Yao's somewhat sad face when she mentioned her mother's family, Huang Qiong held He Yao in her arms with some distress, kissed her face gently and said, "Sister Yao, don't be sad. Your father is blind. , you can give up such a caring daughter. Now you have me, our three children, Sister Jin and Wan Qing, we are all your family and relatives. "
Just hearing He Yao mention her sister's name and taking a closer look at He Yao's now plumper face, the familiar feeling in Huang Qiong's heart rose again. But Huang Qiong was not sure for a while, so she temporarily said: "Sister Yao, don't worry, I will send someone to find ways to find her. If my aunt is still alive, I will definitely find her if I put more effort."
Listening to her husband's considerate words, He Yao did not continue on this topic. Instead, she turned her attention to her little daughter and said softly with reluctance in her tone: "Master, after the full moon, I really want to take care of my daughter." Should Erya be sent to the palace? Although I also know that there are only advantages and no disadvantages to this little girl staying with the empress, but I am really reluctant to part with her."
After the three children were born, the emperor had the right to name them. As a father, Huang Qiong only has the right to give his child a nickname. He was already depressed enough, but he was also born with difficulty in naming. Even the nicknames for the three children took a long time to decide. It was really a waste of time for him. He had read so many books in the past, and he always thought he was very talented.
Fortunately, choosing a nickname only requires some auspiciousness or smoothness of mouth. Of course, Huang Qiong would never want to have a nickname that was easy to make a living, like Goudan or Caitou, even if it was a nickname. He felt that even with a nickname, his children should be more domineering. As a result, the nicknames he gave his three children were simply Longer, Huer, and Leopard.
As a result, as soon as these three nicknames came out, all the women collectively opposed them. It didn't matter that my brother was called Long'er, and they didn't have any objections. But as the two younger sisters are girls, how is it appropriate for them to be nicknamed Hubao? In the end, Lin Hanyan made the final decision and gave the boss the nickname Ma Juer. As for the two younger sisters, let’s simply call them Daya and Erya, which is easy to remember and catchy.
For the three children He Yao and Lin Hanyan, who may not have children of their own in their lifetime, it can be said that the pain is really deep in the bones. Not only did he bring flowers to see his younger siblings every day, but he also stayed in He Yao's yard almost all day. On the one hand, he helped the Wu sisters take care of He Yao and his son, but on the other hand, he also wanted to stay with the three children for a while.
