The warm spring mood gradually faded into April, and only the late blooming flowers were in full bloom.
The fifth prince was already one month old, and Xu Chunjun was holding him and sitting under the tea shelf.
The wet nurse had just fed the baby, and the child lay contentedly in Xu Chunjun's arms, neither crying nor fussing.
He doesn't like to cry since he was born, and he doesn't cry much even at night. He doesn't cry when he wakes up, and he only cries twice when he is hungry. It's more like shouting than crying.
He is still too young now, and his face is too immature to tell what he will look like in the future.
But those dark eyes are particularly bright, and they seem to be more sensible than other children of the same age.
Jiang Nuan came forward with a smile, stretched out her hand and said, "Sister Xu, let me give him a hug!"
Xu Chunjun said: "Then sit tight and I will hand him over to you. You are not in good health now, so be careful."
Jiang Nuan is now nearly five months pregnant and has become pregnant.
Jiang Nuan sat down as instructed, and Xu Chunjun gently put the fifth prince into her arms.
Jiang Nuan held the child in her arms, her eyes lingering on his face, and said, "Sister Xu, look how much he looks like Yun Chu!"
"I often hear the elders in my family say that sons tend to be more like their mothers," Xu Chunjun said.
"Wow, how beautiful will this child be when he grows up? Will he be even more handsome than Wangchen?" Jiang Nuan asked.
Ke Wangchen and Cen Yunchu look exactly like each other.
It's just that men and women are different after all, and Ke Wangchen's face is more angular.
"This must be a child who is both smart and handsome." Xu Chunjun also loved this child with all his heart.
She has never been a mother, but the fifth prince has been entrusted to her care since he was born.
What's more, she and Cen Yunchu had a deep relationship, and there was no difference between this child and her own.
A gust of wind passed by, and the fragrance of turmeric flowers spread everywhere.
Jiang Nuan raised her head, looked at the sky covered with flower branches, sighed softly and said, "Sister Xu, do you still remember? We met on the way to Beijing at this time."
"Why don't you remember?" Xu Chunjun smiled, "At that time, you were shorter than you are now, with a chubby face and big eyes that were more beautiful than crystal."
"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. I had nothing at that time, but I was very happy every day and never knew I had to worry." Jiang Nuan seemed to be talking to Xu Chunjun or talking to himself, "Now I have seen it myself
After something happens, I often feel worried, both for myself and others."
"You are pregnant with a child now, so it is inevitable that you will be sentimental," Xu Chunjun comforted her, "You will get better slowly, and everything will be fine."
Jiang Nuan was stunned for a while, then came back to reality and said, "Sister Xu, do you still remember the first time we met Yun Chu?
At that time, she looked like the moon when she appeared, making everyone stare at her intently.
When I saw her for the first time, I just thought of one thing: there is such a beautiful person in the world, she is even more beautiful than the one who walked out of the painting."
"Yes, Yun Chu is an amazing person." Xu Chunjun nodded and remembered the past. Such talented and beautiful people can never be found.
"Sister Xu, the people in the Queen's Palace have been very quiet these days. Could they be doing this on purpose to make us relax our vigilance and then think of other bad ideas?" Jiang Nuan was still a little uneasy.
When Cen Yunchu gave birth, it was really dangerous, and it was like one wave after another.
Now that things have suddenly become calm, she can't adapt and is always uneasy.
"In my opinion, the queen should have stopped temporarily," Xu Chunjun had already thought about it carefully. "First of all, we should not do anything too extreme. Secondly, the emperor is about to return to the palace. In any case, we have the imperial decree to protect us.
, the Queen cannot be too presumptuous."
"As long as we can hold on until the emperor comes back, the two of us will have fulfilled our mission." Jiang Nuan sighed and said, "I wonder where the emperor and the others are now?"
At this time, the fifth prince yawned in her arms and looked like he was about to fall asleep.
"Sleep, sleep!" Jiang Nuan patted him lovingly and said, "When a child sleeps, his body grows! You grow up quickly and become a man who stands upright."
"Take him into the house! It's still windy outside and the child is too young." Xu Chunjun stood up and picked up the fifth prince.
Jiang Nuan also got up after her, and the two of them went inside.
Now they live in this Yucheng Palace, and there is a small cradle in the back room.
Xu Chunjun carefully put the child over and shook it gently.
After a while the child fell asleep.
No matter when, Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan must ensure that one of them is by the child's side.
Cen Yunchu had sacrificed his life for this child, and they had to protect him no matter what.
"Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Huo, and the talented people are outside again asking for an audience." A palace maid walked in and said.
She was holding a gauze quilt in her hand, which Xu Chunjun had just made for the fifth prince.
After a while of water, it was dried outside before being brought in again.
After hearing this, Jiang Nuan couldn't help frowning and said: "This talented person really has no self-awareness!
Even the queen isn't here, why does she always come here? It's so annoying! Who doesn't think she knows what she is thinking?"
"Maybe she wants to adopt the fifth prince!" Xu Chunjun felt that Gao Yueying was unlikely to harm the fifth prince at this time. After all, the risk was too great, and the queen could not find a scapegoat.
No matter how stupid Gao Yueying is, she shouldn't be this stupid.
"You mean she wants to adopt the fifth prince? What does she think? Where will it be her turn?" Jiang Nuan was surprised.
"This talented person is ambitious. She has been in the palace for so long without having any children of her own. Obviously the emperor did not allow it.
If she adopts the fifth prince and treats him with all her heart, firstly, her status will definitely rise. Secondly, maybe the emperor will be extra merciful and let her have a child of his own when he sees her care."
After all, no matter what, the fifth prince is different in the eyes of the emperor.
Jiang Nuan shook his head and sighed after hearing this: "The people in this palace are fighting each other every day, and it's hard for them to eat or sleep.
According to me, everything depends on fate. If there is a time in fate, it must be there, and if there is no time in fate, there is no need to force it.
After racking your brains to calculate, in the end it will be all in vain."
"Not one of the ten people can think like you. Especially these people in the palace, who is not trying to get ahead?" Xu Chunjun said with a soft smile, "Besides, you are the only one who can say this.
It’s appropriate. If I were to change someone else, I’m afraid he would be laughed at.”
Because Jiang Nuan is the kind of person who, although he has no ambition, can turn danger into good fortune.
Some people don't know for a moment whether to praise her for her good heart or her good life.
"Let's reply to the talented person as before! Just say that the emperor has an order, and we don't dare to see anyone privately.
Let her go back first! When the emperor returns to the palace, we have no control over her coming." Xu Chunjun turned around and ordered the little palace maid.
Maybe Gao Yueying came here repeatedly not just to see the fifth prince, but because she wanted to get close to Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuantao.
