"Husband, you always tell me that husband and wife are one body and there is no need to be polite. Why do you say thank you to me today?" After hearing Yunxi's words, Xiyao responded with a smile.
"It's my husband's fault, I shouldn't thank you." Yunxi also said with a smile.
"This prince of the Joseon Dynasty is indeed a talented person and a smart man, but he doesn't like studying very much." Xiyao commented on Zhu Bao again.
"He has read a lot of books." Yunxi snorted coldly and said, "He just doesn't like reading Confucian classics. My husband doesn't like reading either. Confucianism is used to educate ministers, not the king himself.
, as long as you know the general outline, you don’t have to memorize it like a person who wants to take the imperial examination. I really appreciate this about him."
Xiyao didn't care much about Yun Xi's point of view. He had said this point of view in front of her a long time ago. Xiyao was already used to it from the initial shock to the later recognition and acceptance; but she was not satisfied with the meaning of this sentence.
The appreciation he expressed for Zhu Bao felt a little frightening.
Yunxi was unaware of this and continued: "He is a generous man. My husband has also read military books and practiced martial arts. Although his martial arts is not very good, he is in good health and is by no means a weak scholar."
I think he is very suitable to be the king of a country."
"Since your husband appreciates Zhu Bao so much, have you ever thought about arranging a concubine for him?" Xiyao calmed down and said.
"Why do you ask this? Didn't Zhu Fangyuan already arrange a concubine for him? If the husband was given a marriage, how could he only be given a concubine? You..." Yunxi was talking when he suddenly understood what she was thinking and smiled.
: "Are you afraid that your husband will marry him to Min'er? Although Zhu Fangyuan has arranged the marriage, he never dares to offend his husband and changes the originally arranged concubine to a side concubine, with Min'er as the primary concubine.
Concubine can also do it."
"Husband, do you really think so?" Xiyao said excitedly.
"Why are you in a hurry?" They have been married for more than ten years. Since the first year of Jianye, Yunxi has never seen Xiyao lose her composure. Seeing her excited look, Yunxi felt a little funny and a little a little bit funny at the same time.
Reflections on becoming a parent.
"Yao'er, don't worry, my husband will definitely not let Zhu Bao be his consort. If my husband wants him to consider himself his nephew, how can he marry a girl from the Ming Dynasty clan as the crown prince of the Joseon Dynasty?" Yunxi wanted to do it again.
He teased her for a while, but thought that she was losing her temper because of her concern for her children, and couldn't bear it anymore, so she immediately said.
"That's good." Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked: "Have you ever thought about making Siqi the crown prince of North Korea?"
"Siqi? Why did you think of Siqi?" Yunxi was puzzled.
"Yesterday, my husband told me that I would bring Zhu Bao into the palace today. I started to think about whether my husband wanted to choose one of the royal ladies in the palace to be the Crown Princess of Joseon. When I went to the backyard, I saw Min'er.
Baoqing, Xianqin, Siqi and others gathered around him and listened to his words. Among them, Min'er and Siqi had no intention of avoiding suspicion. They were very close to him, less than a foot away, and the concubine got on top of him.
Xin. Siqi is twelve years old this year and will be thirteen next year. Miner is one year younger than her, which is the age when love begins, so I am worried that Miner or Siqi is interested in him."
"You're overthinking it. Min'er has always been casual and she's still young. How could she have such thoughts?"
"Aren't you too indulgent of her?" Xiyao couldn't help complaining about Min'er's casualness. Of course Min'er knew the etiquette, and she would never be polite in a public or solemn occasion.
Wrong, but privately she doesn't care about rules and has no idea of guarding men and women. Xiyao told her several times, but she always agreed and then forgot about it.
"I know, my husband will also teach her to pay attention to propriety in the future." Yunxi said a little unreasonably. There are only other rules. Now that Min'er is not young anymore, the rules of guarding men and women should really be established.
"From tomorrow, that's all. After the New Year, starting from the 20th of the first lunar month, you are not allowed to take her out of the palace at will. I will take turns with my sister to teach her the rules." Xiyao ordered Yunxi without hesitation.
"Okay, okay! Without your permission, my husband will never take her out of the palace, even to the palace or the princess's palace." Yunxi immediately agreed like a modern husband.
Xiyao looked at his expression and laughed, then saluted as if he was joking: "I was just rude."
"What is rude between husband and wife?" Yunxi said with a smile.
After this episode, Xiyao brought up the previous topic again: "Min'er really doesn't care about the defense between men and women, but Siqi is different from her. Siqi usually pays great attention to the rules when outsiders are around. Zhu Bao just
It was the first time we met, and it was a man. It was impossible for Siqi not to care about the defense between men and women, but she was standing so close to Zhu Bao at that time, and I couldn't help but suspect that she was interested in Zhu Bao."
"It's not intentional, it's just the first time we meet," Yunxi shook his head and said this, but then said immediately: "But what you said makes sense. Siqi pays attention to the rules when there are outsiders, so it's not like this is the first time."
It is indeed worth noting that she treats Zhu Bao as someone close to her when they meet her. Whether she has a good impression of Zhu Bao or not is not something that her husband can control."
"Servant!" he shouted again.
"Please give me your orders, officials." The servant immediately walked in and saluted.
"Go and call Siqi. I have something to ask her."
"What are you going to do?" Xiyao asked immediately after the servant left the room.
"Don't you suspect that Siqi is interested in Zhu Bao? Call her and ask her face to face, wouldn't you know?"
"How can you ask a woman about such a thing face to face?"
"Why not? Didn't my husband ask Yun Yun?"
"This," Xiyao didn't expect Yun Yun to be caught off guard. She paused before continuing: "How can Yun Yun and Siqi be compared?"
"Why can't they be compared? Although Siqi is the daughter of the Lan family, she was raised by us in the palace. She stays in the Lan family for more than a month at most a year. We are just like her parents. Put it this way
Get up and get closer than Yun Yun."
"She also knew that her husband allowed Yun Yun and Yun Zhi to wait for her to choose a husband, and she would not object to telling her husband about it. Her husband emphasized a few words to her: If she likes Zhu Bao, she should not tell her husband at this time.
There will be no chance in the future, and she will definitely confide in us."
"But,..." What Yunxi said made sense, but Xiyao always felt that something was wrong. But she couldn't make any sense, so she could only accept Yunxi's idea.
But after a long time, Siqi didn't come. Xiyao couldn't help but call a serving maid and asked: "After dinner, Siqi didn't rest in Kunning Palace? What did he do?"
Before she finished speaking, she heard hurried footsteps outside, and then a bright and white-toothed girl ran in, stopped in front of Yunxi, took a breath and saluted, "I've met uncle and aunt."
"Where did you go? Are you breathing so hard?" Yunxi reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead, then asked the palace maid to wipe the sweat for her, and asked.
"Uncle, aunt, Siqi had eaten and wanted to rest, but Min'er wanted to see if the bamboo she planted in Jiaotai Hall was still alive, so she took me to Jiaotai Hall, and then..."
"Min'er planted a bamboo in Jiaotai Hall. When?" Yunxi interrupted.
"At the beginning of last month, when we passed by Jiaotai Hall, we saw a bamboo plant withered. Min'er asked her servants to prepare seeds and plant them, and water them every day after school. But in fact, she often forgets that it is all under the water.
People are taking care of me, I just take a look occasionally when I think about it like today."
"Min'er, the bamboos have been planted in other palaces." Yunxi didn't know how to evaluate such behavior, so he could only say: "You continue to talk."
"On the way to the Jiaotai Palace, Min'er and I met the eunuch who told us that Mrs. Chang and Mrs. Xue had entered the palace to pay homage to their aunt. Since they were elders, Min'er went with me to greet them. When he saw them, he said
After a few words, I saw Sister Shishu running over and saying that my uncle and aunt had something to say to Siqi, so Siqi trotted back all the way."
As soon as Min'er finished speaking, she heard a voice from outside: "Your Majesty, Madam, Mrs. Chang and Mrs. Xue want to see you."
"You are faster than the messenger." Yunxi said, and then asked: "Why did they come to the palace at this time to ask for an audience? What's the matter?"
"Uncle, aunt, Mrs. Chang said that Duke Zheng Guo was injured and begged my aunt to send an imperial doctor to take a look at him; Mrs. Xue said that she wanted to ask my aunt to send an 'obstetrician and gynecologist' who specializes in delivering babies in the palace to the mansion."
"Second uncle is injured?" Yunxi asked nervously immediately. When it comes to family ties, he is not the original Yunxi. He has not been with Chang Sheng for a long time, so it is not deep; but although Chang Sheng has no ability, he can
Yunxi was quite satisfied with his uncle who kept his own rules and never caused trouble. Moreover, he was also afraid that if Chang Sheng died, the power of Zheng Guogong's palace would fall into the hands of Chang Sen, a man who was not very peaceful, so he was a little nervous.
"Mrs. Chang said it was not a serious problem, but she accidentally fell off the horse while riding, and her bones were fine. However, Mrs. Chang was worried that there was something wrong that the private doctors could not see, so she asked the imperial physician to come over and take a look."
"It's not bad." Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered: "Go to Tai Hospital and let Dr. Zheng, who is good at orthopedics, take a look at him."
"Slow down!" the servant agreed and was about to retreat when he heard Yunxi call out again and quickly turned around to wait for instructions.
"My mother-in-law asked the obstetrician and gynecologist to come to her home, but someone is about to give birth?" he asked Xiyao.
"It should be Xi Yang's wife who is about to give birth." Xiyao said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is not pregnant, and none of my concubines are pregnant either. Only Xi Yang's wife happens to be pregnant at this time."
"This is her first child. It took her three years to get pregnant. It's not easy. No one in the palace is pregnant now, so only one person from the obstetrics and gynecology department is left on duty in the imperial city, and the rest of the doctors go to Xue Mansion.
Deliver her baby." Yunxi said.
After Yunxi returned from the Western Regions last year, while the previous dynasty was undergoing reforms, the institutions related to the harem were also undergoing reforms. He divided the doctors in Tai Hospital into departments, including obstetrics and gynecology, trauma, Western medicine, and other four departments.
'That is, all injuries and illnesses except childbirth and trauma; the 'Western Medicine' Department is composed of captured doctors from the former Samarkand Kingdom.
"How good is this!" When Xiyao heard that it was just her brother and sister giving birth to a baby, and not someone in the family who was sick, she felt relieved and said, "It's against the rules."
"Why should you care about the rules at this time? Besides, the baby is about to be born in a few days, so it won't be a problem. You need to pay more attention to the first baby and not be careless." Yunhe said.
After saying this, he turned to Siqi and said, "Have you rest?"
"Okay." While Yunxi and Xiyao were talking about sending out doctors, Siqi sat down to rest. Although it was only for a few minutes, he had already rested.
"You all go out." Yunxi sent all the servants out first, and then asked Siqi: "Siqi, what do you think of Zhu Bao?"
"Zhu Bao? It's very good. Although it is said that he doesn't like reading, he is quite polite and his brain works very fast." Siqi asked in confusion: "Why do you suddenly ask Siqi this?"
"Well, that's all, uncle, let's just say it straight, do you have a crush on him?" Yunxi was not good at beating around the bush, so he simply asked directly.
"Why did you suddenly say that?" Siqi was even more puzzled. He looked at Yunxi and then at Xiyao, with question marks on his face; but after a few glances, she replied: "Siqi just regarded Zhu Bao as a guest.
, I didn’t think so.”
"That's good." Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. Although he supported his children in choosing their favorite husbands, marrying Siqi to North Korea was not part of his plan.
"Your aunt just saw you and Zhu Bao getting closer, so she said this to your uncle, and your uncle called you to ask. Siqi, my uncle asked again, if you are really interested in Zhu Bao,
Although he has been engaged, there is still a chance to redeem her now; but when Zhu Bao returns to North Korea, the matter will be irreversible."
"Uncle, aunt," Siqi said to them very seriously: "Siqi has no such intention. Siqi will never leave uncle and aunt."
"That's not what I said. When you get married in the future, you will also have to leave your uncle and aunt." Xiyao also breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted Si Qi to be her daughter-in-law, and of course she didn't want her to marry to North Korea.
Siqi's face turned slightly red, but he did not answer, but said: "Uncle, aunt, Siqi doesn't need this chance to redeem himself, but someone may."
"Today Mrs. Chang and Mrs. Xue entered the palace, and they also brought Jiyue and Daiwen into the palace. They also saw Zhu Bao when they entered the palace from Qianqing Gate. Just when Jiyue and I were together, she asked me who Zhu Bao was.
Who is it? He probably has intentions in his heart." Siqi said with a smile.
"Jiyue?" Yunxi thought about it. Jiyue is Chang Sheng's daughter. She has good looks and a gentle temper. 'Should I marry her to Zhu Bao?' Yunxi thought.
However, it only took a few seconds for Yunxi to reject the idea. Jiyue didn't seem to be a thoughtful person, so marrying her to Zhu Bao would be of little use; besides, Zhu Fangyuan was already engaged to Zhu Bao, overturning Zhu Fangyuan's decision.
It will definitely make him very dissatisfied and alert, which will not be beneficial to his own plan. As for choosing a husband, he can't control his own daughter, let alone other people's daughters.
"Husband, I think Jiyue is not suitable for me." Xiyao thought the same as him and said in his ear.
"Yes." Yunxi agreed, and then said: "It would be better for Jiyue to be promised to any clan in the future."
They talked for a while, and Xiyao smiled and said: "Husband, I thought that my aunt (referring to Mrs. Chang) and my mother were coming soon, so I went out to talk to them for a while and comfort them." And she hadn't seen them for a while.
Her mother is dead, and she misses her a little. 'Let Dai Shi call her sister here too,' she thought.
