Wu Zhaku has lost a lot of weight after her confinement, but she is still plumper than before pregnancy, and her face is rounder, but she does not have a double chin. She is plump but not bloated, and her whole body is gentle.
Wu Zaku felt a little embarrassed when Shu Jin looked at her. Why did the empress seem to pay more attention to her than Yong Hu?
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Wu Zaku asked with a smile.
Shu Jin also said with a smile: "Yong Hu weighed eight pounds when he was born. At that time, my heart skipped a beat. I don't know how painful it must be to give birth to such a big child." - But look at Wu Zaku's complexion.
Not bad though.
Mrs. Wu Zaku was stunned for a long time. Even the fifth master was only happy and praised her more. Even if he cared about her, he just told her to have a good rest and take good care of her. After all, the pain of childbirth is a hardship that no man can understand.
"It's all over." Wu Zaku said softly.
Concubine Mi looked at Yong Hu in her arms and said quietly: "I can hardly remember the pain of giving birth to Hongxin back then. But I will always think of my daughter..."
Concubine Mao on the side was even more disappointed. After getting Funkri Ilha, she rarely dreamed of her two daughters who died young. Now that she suddenly remembered them, she still couldn't help but feel depressed.
Shu Jin knew that both Concubine Mi and Concubine Mao had experienced the pain of losing their daughters. Even if Concubine Mi had a seventh brother and Concubine Mao had a third princess, the wounds may have healed, but they still remain in his heart after all.
Got scars.
"Ah~" A baby's voice awoke the second concubine from her melancholy.
Concubine Mi looked at the energetic little fat man in her arms and couldn't help but smile. Then she said to Concubine Mao, "It's all my fault for making my sister sad too."
Concubine Mao took off her armor and gently rubbed the fat boy Yonghu's face with the back of her hand, "No child has been born in this palace for many years. This child Yonghu came with blessing. This harem will definitely have more children in the future."
It’s getting more and more lively.”
Shu Jin thought, yes, since Yongshen, Si Baylor's children were born in Baylor Mansion, not counting the children in the palace.
At this time, the chief eunuch Zhang Shoufa came in and called Qian'er and said, "My dear, Concubine Xi wants to see you."
Shu Jin showed a playful smile and said, "Concubine Xi, it's been a long time since I last saw you."
Since the incident in Beijing, Concubine Xi has not gone out, claiming to be worshiping Buddha behind closed doors. Sibeile is also studying behind closed doors.
The two of them became cowards together. - These are Hong Zhou's original words.
Concubine Mao raised her eyebrows, looking very unwelcome: "What is she here for?"
Shu Jin said calmly: "Let her come in." See what medicine she sells in her gourd.
Concubine Mi returned Yonghu in her arms to the nanny, and straightened her clothes herself.
Not seen for more than a month, Concubine Xi looked a little thinner. She was wearing a 70% new satin and floral double-breasted flag uniform. She bowed her knees to Shu Jin respectfully and said hello.
Needless to say, Mrs. Wu Zhaku had already stood up and stood to one side. She just bowed to Concubine Xi. She was not allowed to salute the concubine.
Concubine Xi accompanied her with a smile: "Wu Fujin is here too, that's just right."
With that said, Concubine Xi hurriedly asked her confidant, Guifu, to give a brocade box to Concubine Shu Jin.
Shu Jin raised his eyebrows: "What is this?"
Concubine Xi smiled and said, "It's a swaddling clothes. I am clumsy and it took me more than a month to embroider it. I hope the concubine and Wufujin won't dislike it."
Shu Jin was stunned for a moment. How could Concubine Xi bother so much? She opened the brocade box and saw a small red brocade quilt embroidered with Buddhist scriptures. The words on the quilt were embroidered with goose-yellow silk thread mixed with gold thread. , the gold color shines, and the end is luxurious. Although the craftsmanship is not as good as Mao Fei, the stitching is also very detailed, which shows that a lot of hard work was wasted.
Shu Jin looked at Concubine Xi suspiciously, what do you mean?
Concubine Mao glanced lightly, "Concubine Xi, didn't you worship the Buddha behind closed doors?"
Concubine Xi hurriedly said: "It was because I gained some insights from worshiping the Buddha behind closed doors that I embroidered this sutra quilt in front of the Buddha, thinking of using it as a swaddling clothes for Yong Hu. May the Buddha bless this child to live a long life."
Shu Jin said calmly: "Concubine Xi is interested."
When Wu Fujin saw this, he blessed his body and said, "Thank you, Concubine Xi." He stepped forward to accept the reward for Yong Hu.
Concubine Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.
Shu Jin glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, sit down. What are you doing standing around?"
As soon as Concubine Xi arrived, Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi, who had the same status as her, naturally had to stand up. As a junior, the Wu Zhaku family naturally had to stand up and salute, but they all stood.
Needless to say, Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi sat back down. Concubine Mao and Shu Jin both sat on the Arhat couch near the window. Concubine Mi sat on a chair next to Shu Jin. Concubine Wu Zaku originally sat under Concubine Mao. , this time he also took the initiative to give up his seat and sat on the embroidered pier beside him.
Concubine Xi nodded and smiled, thanking Wu Zaku, and then sat down on the chair.
Concubine Xi just sat down and she couldn't stop talking: "Brother Yonghu is really lucky. Look at his face. He is much whiter and fatter than Yonglin was back then."
Shu Jin raised his eyebrows: In order to compliment Yong Hu, Concubine Xi would not hesitate to step on her beloved grandson?
"What exactly does Concubine Xi want to say?" Shu Jin was impatient with these nonsense and simply challenged her directly.
Concubine Xi's old face was slightly embarrassed. She originally thought that Yonghu had just been full moon and the Double Ninth Festival had just passed, so the concubine's place should be quiet for two days, but she didn't expect that Danning Hall would be so busy.
But everyone has come and everything has been given away. If we don’t say anything, wouldn’t it be in vain?
Concubine Xi endured the embarrassment and whispered: "A while ago, Hongli was confused and had a quarrel with the fifth elder brother over such a trivial matter. In the end, it was all because I, the concubine, failed to stop her in time. That’s why I came here specifically to apologize to the imperial concubine.”
Are you here to admit your co-authorship?
Although Shu Jin didn't know whether Concubine Xi was sincere, she still had to show a kind and kind attitude on her face, "It's just a trivial matter, it doesn't matter."
The noble concubine was so generous, which made Concubine Xi feel a sudden change in her heart. It was clear that she was subdued last time, but that was not what the noble concubine said!
Last time, the imperial concubine clearly said that "one person does things and one person is responsible"! It was a promise that Hongli's actions would not affect her.
Now...does the imperial concubine want to retract her preamble?
Concubine Xi was in a state of confusion, "Your Majesty, my concubine, I have already reprimanded Hongli, and Hongli has already realized his mistake."
Did Hongli realize his mistake? Shu Jin was heartbroken.
Concubine Mao covered her lips with silk, "It turns out that Sibeile is not studying behind closed doors, but thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors."
This seems to be a mockery.
Shu Jin said calmly: "Since the matter has passed, there is no need to mention it again."
Concubine Mao curled her lips, still a little unhappy.
Concubine Xi didn't care about being angry with Concubine Mao, and just looked at the concubine pitifully.
Concubine Mi smiled and said: "Neither the imperial concubine nor the fifth elder brother cares about it. Sister Xi Fei can rest assured."
Concubine Xi smiled bitterly. She had just seen so many people in Danning Palace. She was originally worried that the concubine would embarrass her in front of others, but now she wished that the concubine would reprimand and punish her.
