"My young master woke up once in the morning and went to sleep again after eating." The wet nurse said with a respectful smile, "The princess only slept for an hour. After breakfast, she and the young master should catch up on her sleep together."
Jiao Wanwan smiled and said: "Newborn babies are like this. They sleep when they are full and eat when they wake up."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." The maid in charge came over, followed by two young palace maids carrying water and towels. She respectfully asked for instructions, "This servant wants to clean and change the Crown Princess. Please step aside, Your Highness."
Want to avoid again?
Rong Cang looked at Chu Yunfei silently. He found that after the child was born, his husband seemed to suddenly become an outsider. This was inconvenient and he could avoid it. He wanted to stay here and say a few more words to Chu Yunfei.
"Rong Cang, you should go to the front hall and take a nap first." Chu Yunfei also advised him, "Princess Jin'an happens to be here. Let me talk to her about the private matters of my daughter's family."
Rong Cang nodded: "Then I will go to the front hall to handle official business. If you need anything, just send Baochan to call me."
Chu Yunfei nodded: "Yes."
Rong Cang turned around and left. Jiao Wanwan took the child and took shelter outside the tent, waiting for the maids to pack up for Chu Yunfei before going in.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have such a good relationship." The wet nurse stood aside and said with envy, "I have never seen a man who loves his wife as much as His Highness the Crown Prince. I am afraid that the Crown Princess will be hungry. Tired and bumped, I really held the Crown Princess in my hands and pampered her."
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you haven't." Jiao Wanwan teased, "It's true that His Highness the Crown Prince is a wonderful man, and it's true that the Crown Princess is blessed, but it's also because the Crown Princess is good enough that the Crown Prince loves her so much. Not everyone is blessed.”
The wet nurse thought for a while and nodded: "The princess is right."
The Crown Princess is indeed the most tolerant and generous mistress she has ever seen. Although she has a high position, she is not arrogant at all, nor does she frequently beat or scold the palace maids and eunuchs.
The rules in the East Palace are strict and there is a clear distinction between superior and inferior. However, there has never been a case where the master deliberately made things difficult for his slaves. There were occasional mistakes. As long as it was not intentional neglect or ulterior motives, the princess would mostly laugh it off.
It's just that the prince has been in charge of the military all year round and has a strong sense of majesty. From the eldest maids serving in the palace to the third-class maids and eunuchs outside, no one is afraid of him.
Therefore, as long as the prince loves and respects the princess, no one in the East Palace would dare to neglect the princess.
"The little grandson looks like His Highness the Crown Prince." Jiao Wanwan paced lightly, looking down at the sleeping child in his swaddling clothes, "He will definitely be a smart and courageous man in the future."
The wet nurse smiled and said: "The children of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are naturally very good."
The aunt in charge and the two palace maids moved very quickly. After a while, they walked out carrying the basin.
After Chu Yunfei scrubbed and changed into clean clothes, she suddenly felt much refreshed.
Jiao Wanwan returned to the tent with the child in her arms and gently placed the baby beside Chu Yunfei.
Chu Yunfei raised her hands to hold the swaddling clothes gently, and stared at the sleeping baby's face. Her eyes were filled with the radiance of mother's love. The newborn's face, which had not yet grown, was pink and peaceful, and there were no wrinkles that are common in newborn babies. It makes people want to kiss her twice.
Chu Yunfei really couldn't hold back, she came closer and kissed him on the cheek like a dragonfly.
Jiao Wanwan stood aside and sighed softly: "The newborn baby is the most adorable. It seems to make people's hearts cute. I want to give my heart to him."
Chu Yunfei couldn't help laughing when he saw her feeling. Just as he was about to ask her if she had any other feelings, the aunt in charge came in and reported: "Crown Princess, the Queen is here."
Just as Chu Yunfei was about to get up, the queen had already stepped into the palace door and raised her hand to signal: "Lie down quickly. I didn't ask anyone to inform you. I just don't want to disturb your rest. How is the child? Is he asleep?"
Jiao Wanwan stood up and saluted: "See you, Queen."
"Princess Jin'an is here too?" The queen saw Jiao Wanwan and said with a smile, "No need to be polite, when did you come?"
Jiao Wanwan smiled respectfully and said, "My daughter-in-law just got up in the morning and heard that the Crown Princess had given birth. She hurriedly came over to say congratulations."
The queen walked to the edge of the bed, bent down and looked at the sleeping little man, her face full of joy: "This child looks so good, the more I look at it, the more I like it."
"The emperor's grandson has a good face, and he is naturally noble at first glance." The wet nurse stood aside and complimented, "His Royal Highness the prince is handsome, and the princess is also beautiful. When the little grandson grows up, I am afraid he will offend many daughters. Everyone admires her."
The queen smiled and scolded: "Don't be such a talker. This child will grow up to be a responsible man. He should put the responsibility of his family and country first and put aside his daughter's personal affairs."
Chu Yunfei stood up and leaned on the bedside, and ordered Baochan to serve tea to Princess Jin'an: "I just had a baby, and I was so busy that I almost forgot how to treat guests. Please be considerate of Princess Jin'an."
"Don't dare." Jiao Wanwan quickly raised her hand and waved, "The birth of Lin'er is the top priority for the Crown Princess, and nothing else is important."
The queen looked at the child in the inner hall for a while, and asked the wet nurse about the child's sleep and feeding last night. After learning that everything was normal and the child did not cry or fuss, a smile appeared on her face: "That's good."
"The grandson of the Emperor seems to have a calm temperament. He is very similar to His Royal Highness. He will definitely be a great person when he grows up." The wet nurse obviously knew what kind of words made people feel comfortable, and her tone was very natural and complimentary.
Although the queen was relieved to hear it, she still gave her a smile and said, "You can tell from such a young child that he will be great in the future? Do you want to change your career to be a fortune teller?"
The wet nurse knelt down and said, "I know my mistake."
"Your duty is to feed your grandson well, not to flatter him." The queen said calmly, "After leaving this palace, it is best to keep these words in your mouth. If I hear such words in the future, I will be punished without mercy. "
"Yes." The two wet nurses responded in succession, "I acknowledge my guilt, and thank you, the Queen, for your tolerance."
Chu Yunfei said nothing, but knew the queen's concerns.
The prince's grandson, who was born in the palace, was already of the highest rank. Whether they were promising or not, they were all princes and nobles, but the wet nurse said that he would be a great person.
Above the prince, the most extraordinary figure is nothing more than the emperor.
But now that the prince has not yet ascended the throne, the grandson has begun to dream about the throne. Even if Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei really intend to raise their eldest son well, if it falls on the ears of interested people, they will think that this is treason.
If someone takes advantage of it, even the nurse's unintentional words will still be regarded as the meaning of the prince and the princess.
The emperor has always been open-minded and generous and can laugh it off. If he had any thoughts, he would only think that the couple was overstepping their bounds.
