When the Queen Mother learned that Xiao Lin had given birth, she immediately smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face deepened, "Okay! Okay! Thanks to the Queen's good care, Mrs. Lin's mother and child can be safe!"
Wen Xiaotu said humbly: "My mother is too generous, I am just doing my duty."
Concubine De felt dissatisfied when she saw it, so I personally went to Yong'en Palace to take care of it... Then she stepped forward and said, "Lin Cai is so lucky. Not only does the empress take care of her carefully, but she also personally takes care of her."
Having said that, Concubine De changed the topic and said quietly: "The Queen is particularly considerate of the concubines. Last night, I asked you to stay and take care of Lin Cairen, but the Queen insisted that I go back to rest."
Wen Xiaotu: You are the only one who can beep!
This eye medicine is good... Even the Queen Mother dislikes Concubine De's brains. She is already at the age when her daughter is about to be married, but she is still so unimproved!
Xin Ruozhi's eyes were full of affection when she looked at Concubine De. After so many years, the only woman in the harem who has always had no brains is Lin Xiuying - "There are gangsters who are deaf to Xiuying." It's really a waste to be so elegant.
Name.
For Jiashan's sake, the Queen Mother could only turn a deaf ear and said, "The Queen has done a great job."
The eye drops failed, but Concubine De was still not discouraged and continued to say with a smile: "Obviously it was Lin Cairen who made the first move, but it was Cui Baolin who gave birth to the little princess first. It can be seen that Lin Cairen's body is a bit fragile after all. Although
The little prince was also born safely, but I am really worried about Lin Cairen."
The Queen Mother said with an old face: "Since the imperial doctor is taking care of her, Concubine De should worry more about Jiashan!"
Concubine De choked up and could only say "yes" angrily.
Although the fourth princess and the second prince were not born on the same day, the third baptism ceremony was still held together. Naturally, it was not based on the sister who was born first, but three days after the birth of Lin Cairen's little prince.
This is not Wen Xiaotu’s fault, the date was set by the Queen Mother.
This is the feudal era.
After busying with the three baptisms, Wen Xiaotu discovered that the fourth princess, the second prince, and even Jiang Meiren's third princess lived in the side hall, that is, they lived with their biological mother. This was not an explicit rule in the palace.
It is a habit that regardless of the status of the birth mother, the children will live with the birth mother before entering school. Unless the emperor and queen mother have other wishes, the children will be raised by others.
This side hall is really not spacious. Wen Xiaotu also lived in the side hall of Changyi Palace. The layout of other palaces is also similar, basically two bedrooms and one living room.
Wen Xiaotu wanted to be a good empress, so on the first day after her baptism, she announced in public: "I see that the young prince and princess live with their biological mothers in the side hall, which is not spacious enough.
The main halls of Yong'en Palace and Yannian Palace are empty again. From now on, Jiang Meiren's third princess will move to the main hall. The fourth princess and the second prince are not yet one month old, so it is not suitable to move, so they will wait until the full moon before moving to the main hall.
.”
After hearing this, Miss Jiang was overjoyed and saluted quickly: "Thank you, Queen, for your grace!"
Then, for some reason, Concubine De suddenly became energetic and said, "Empress, I have always been very worried about Lin Cairen. I have asked you to move to Yong'en Palace to take care of you."
Wen Xiaotu:......
She rubbed her eyebrows. She was stupid and didn't know it. It was really a headache. "De Fei, just calm down!" - she was still thinking about Lin Cairen's son!
"What do you mean, Queen?" Concubine De actually looked defensive, "Could it be that you plan to raise the second prince yourself?"
Wen Xiaotu:...Some people are not only stupid, but they also want to drag you into the team of stupid people.
The virtuous concubine Xin Ruozhi couldn't stand it anymore, "Concubine De, don't think everyone is like you! The empress is young and healthy, so why worry about not having a child of her own?!"
After being scolded, Concubine De looked relieved. It's better that the queen didn't look at the second prince...
Wen Xiaotu said seriously: "Even if Lin Cai is weak, there are still so many maids and maids to take care of him. The second prince doesn't need Concubine De to worry about you!"
Concubine De looked a little unconvinced: "Lin Cai has a low status, so I'm afraid he won't be able to educate the prince well."
Wen Xiaotu was even more speechless. Lin Cairen's IQ is at least far higher than yours!
"It is up to the Emperor and future gentlemen to take care of educating the prince!" Wen Xiaotu said with a straight face, with a hint of scolding, "Besides, as for the matter of status, I will ask the Queen Mother for instructions later! No way.
You will be treating the concubines who are the heirs of the royal family poorly!"
Concubine De scolded Lin Cairen because of her low status, but the queen wanted to grant Lin Cairen a title!
This is called stealing the chicken but losing the rice!
Concubine De felt so regretful!
"Okay, if there's nothing else to do, let's get over it." Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but feel that saying hello every five days was too frequent. How about changing it to every tenth day?
Xin Ruozhi suddenly stepped forward and said, "Empress, I have one more thing to do, and I want to report it to you alone."
If someone else had said this, Wen Xiaotu would not care about it, but Xin Ruozhi... must have really important matters that are inconvenient to talk to outsiders.
She nodded and introduced Xin Ruozhi into the study to talk.
Xin Ruozhi glanced at the maids and nuns serving the queen, and whispered: "Can you please step aside, please?"
Wen Xiaotu was surprised, so mysterious?
Her curiosity had been aroused, so she waved her hand: "Everyone, please step aside."
"Yes!" All the palace people filed out and closed the study door tightly.
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but look at Xin Ruozhi, wondering what kind of medicine was being sold in this gourd.
"I'm being presumptuous," Xin Ruozhi apologized.
Wen Xiaotu said: "It doesn't matter. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Xin Ruozhi sighed, her face full of sympathy and sadness, "I wonder if your Majesty knows the cause of the death of the Xian Sheng Queen?"
Wen Xiaotu was stunned, and his face was very complicated. How could I not know how I died?
Seeing that the queen suddenly became silent, she asked, "Do you know that the sage queen did not die of illness?"
Wen Xiaotu sighed: "I know. I am the daughter of the Wen family after all. I know all the inside information."
Xin Ruozhi was startled. She had already prepared a lot of manuscripts to chat with the little queen, but she didn't expect...
Xin Ruozhi was slightly embarrassed, and then said: "Then Luo Mei..."
Wen Xiaotu's expression became more complicated. She never expected that it was Luo Yuanxiang. She was so kind to Luo when she was a concubine...
"Forget it, her people are all dead anyway." Anyway, one life has been paid for another, and she doesn't want to bear grudges against a dead person.
However, Xin Ruozhi came up to her and whispered, "Mother, Luo is still alive."
Wen Xiaotu's eyes widened for a moment: "How is that possible? Wasn't it after that...she also 'died' of illness?!"
Xin Ruozhi smiled bitterly: "The death of Queen Xian Sheng due to illness is false, but the death of Rare Luo Meiren from illness is true?"
