As soon as Ji Ling saw the baby, she immediately felt relieved. The baby was still holding its little fists, eyes closed, and sleeping soundly.
She held her daughter for a while. The wet nurse had just fed the baby, and the baby was sleeping so much that drool was drooling from the corner of his mouth.
Ji Ling wiped the baby's saliva gently. The baby was like a glutinous rice ball, so fragrant and soft that Ji Ling didn't dare to exert any force on it.
The wet nurse was very experienced. One look at the posture of Concubine Chen and she knew that she didn't know how to hold a baby.
She came forward on her knees and whispered a few words to the concubine: put the princess close to her chest and let her head rest on the adult's shoulder. The empress protected the princess's neck and head with one hand, and the other hand
Hold the princess's butt with one hand.
Ji Ling learned quickly and mastered the method and key in just a few strokes. Sure enough, she was able to hold the baby comfortably. She waved her little hands a few times and suddenly slowly opened her eyes.
"She opened her eyes!" Ji Ling exclaimed, her whole body frozen with joy, and she didn't dare to move while holding the baby.
After a baby is born, the time it takes for a baby to open their eyes varies from person to person, either quickly or slowly. Some babies open their eyes right after they are born, while others may delay it for three to four days.
The wet nurse was also surprised and said: "The little princess hasn't opened her eyes since last night until now. She probably heard the queen's voice."
Ji Ling held the baby in her arms and couldn't put it down. The more she looked at it, the more cute she felt. This was the baby she had given birth to, and it was bleeding from her and Yinzhen's bodies.
The baby also opened his dark eyes and stared at her.
Children's eyes are always particularly clear, translucent and clean.
Suddenly, the little princess grinned. She stared at Ji Ling, as if she knew she was her own mother, and smiled happily.
There seemed to be stars in her eyes. When Ji Ling saw her daughter's smile, she suddenly became ecstatic.
Ji Ling suddenly understood that before time travel, there were always people in the circle of friends who kept posting photos of their babies - it turned out that every mother would never tire of their own children, no matter how cute they looked.
Outside, Grandma Chen and others heard the commotion and hurried in to congratulate the concubine master again.
After the Concubine Chen went to bed yesterday, the Emperor gave generous rewards to all the servants in the Chengqian Palace.
When Grandma Chen first came to serve at the Yuanmingyuan Natural Painting, she saw that the newly concubine was delicate and frail, so she was prepared for a protracted war.
How could we have known that Concubine Chen was so lucky to have given birth so smoothly.
It was so easy to get this red envelope, and she and the nuns were so happy that they felt weak.
While Qixi arranged for someone to bring the small dining table on the bed, she helped Ji Ling sit up.
As soon as Ji Ling sat up, she felt dizzy. She leaned on the head of the bed and closed her eyes. She knew in her heart that this was because of giving birth to a baby. No matter how smooth a woman's birth is, it will inevitably take a toll on her vitality. The more this happens,
, the more important it is to nourish well and restore physical strength as soon as possible.
The meals haven't been delivered yet, but the imperial doctor's medicine has been delivered first. They are all nourishing prescriptions. Ji Ling is the most afraid of hardship, but if he doesn't recover quickly, he won't be able to accompany the baby well.
Thinking about her baby, she was not afraid of any hardship, and immediately held the bowl in her hands, raised her head and drank.
Ji Ling drank the heavy bowl of medicine until the end, and she was so weak that she could hardly hold the bowl. Qixi stretched out her hand to hold it for her, and Ji Ling saw a row of purple and purple marks on Qixi's wrist.
"Did I pinch it yesterday?" She was startled and asked Qixi.
Qixi looked unconcerned and said: "The slave is happiest when the master and the princess and her daughter are safe. What does this bruise mean?"
The bitter taste of the concoction had already come up and spread in the mouth. Qixi brought the candied fruit jar.
Ji Ling ate three candied fruits in a row before the bitter taste in his mouth was suppressed.
After drinking the medicine, lunch was served. This was the first meal Ji Ling had after giving birth to her child. She watched Bixue dazzled as she put all kinds of meals on the small table - all of them were carefully prepared by the imperial kitchen of Yangxin Hall.
The nourishing food delivered is most suitable for mothers to take care of themselves during confinement.
Qixi wrapped Ji Ling tightly in a quilt, even her head, and then exposed her face outside, preparing to feed her master.
At this time, Ji Ling felt that his hands had some strength, so he shook his head and said: "I will do it myself."
She held the chopsticks in her hands, glanced at the bruises on Qixi's hands, turned around and told Bixue: "Go find the ointment."
The meal prepared by the imperial dining room was almost a standard confinement meal. Ji Ling thought it would be bland, but when it was put into his mouth, it tasted quite good.
In particular, there is a dish of brown sugar sweet potatoes. All the sweet potatoes are simmered to perfection and coated with brown sugar. Each bite tastes like a snack.
She ate the whole bowl before drinking the soup
There are three types of soups, namely wolfberry and snow pear soup, chayote and pork cartilage soup, and yam and lotus seed short rib soup. Each one is served in a jasper cup and served refreshingly.
Ji Ling had previously thought about asking her fourth master to agree to breast-feeding, but when she lowered her head and took a look, she realized in embarrassment: She had really thought too much.
Fortunately, I have a wet nurse.
The news that the concubine Chen had given birth to a princess had already spread throughout the harem, and many people were overjoyed to hear that it was a daughter.
Concubine Qi was the most relieved: there were not many children in the palace, and the few elder brothers were particularly eye-catching.
When it comes to direct children - anyway, the Ulanara family can't give birth to children, and the rest are all concubines. No one needs to look down on anyone else.
In terms of eldest son - all the princes before Hongshi died young, so Hongshi is the eldest son of the emperor.
Thinking of Hongshi, Concubine Qi felt a deep sense of crisis - Hongshi was no longer young, but the emperor had yet to show his love for the eldest son. On the contrary, Hongli kept jumping around in front of the emperor. In recent days,
Over the years, Chuluo has become more and more clever.
Thinking of this, she sighed heavily, and an even more depressing thought came to her mind: So what if Concubine Chen gave birth to a princess?
It’s not like she won’t be able to give birth later,
Judging from the momentum of the emperor's obsession, there is no telling that there will be an additional prince in the Forbidden City next year.
By that time, her Hongshi was besieged on all sides.
Zhang Guiren came over to see the little princess in the afternoon. After seeing it, he left a handmade gift and teased the little princess for a while. The day passed quickly.
In a blink of an eye, the third day came and it was the little princess's baptism banquet.
"Washing" is a very important ceremony - on the third day after the baby is born, a bathing ceremony is held, and relatives and friends are gathered to wish the baby good luck. It is also called "Washing in three dynasties".
It was supposed to be celebrated by everyone, but Ji Ling felt that newborns are so delicate and have poor immunity. It must be bad for the baby if so many people gather together, talking, laughing, and spitting.
Besides, my body has not fully recovered yet, and my energy is not good, so I cannot fully look after the child. When the time comes, there will be many people involved, and who knows what will happen?
She didn't know it before, but now she can understand her mother's mood: Even though there are many servants in Chengqian Palace, in this world, no mother can completely trust her child to be taken care of by others.
She told Yinzhen - of course she didn't say it so directly. Ji Ling only said that she was very tired after giving birth and was afraid of being rude in front of the queen; moreover, her body had not recovered, her complexion was not good, and she did not want to do this.
The ugly appearance appeared in front of all the concubines.
Yinzhen now responded to her requests. When he heard Lingling said that she was "tired", he not only agreed immediately, but was also very worried. He immediately asked Su Peisheng to call the imperial doctor to see her again.
However, "washing three times" is a long-standing custom of the Manchu people. Finally, Yinzhen discussed with Ji Ling: apart from the wet nurse, nanny, and the servants of Chengqian Palace, only he and Ji Ling simply
Organize this third bathing banquet for the child in Chengqian Palace.
