Chapter 247
After the greetings, I came out of the palace and returned to the palace at the right time.
Xiao Ming woke up early. After drinking two large bowls of milk, he refused to go back to sleep. He closed his eyes and howled at the top of his lungs.
As soon as the couple entered the courtyard, what they heard was this wailing sound like a magical sound.
King Jin frowned, "How did you take care of the nanny? Why did you make Xiao Ming cry like this?"
"It's none of my nanny's business. It's your son Nian Niang. As long as he doesn't see me, he will howl like this." Jiang Changning explained.
Prince Jin frowned even more tightly, "How can a man be so clingy to his mother?"
Jiang Changning's mouth twitched slightly, "Your Majesty, the man you are talking about is less than three months old and is still a baby."
"Don't dote on him too much." King Jin said seriously.
"My lord, if you want to be a strict father, please wait until he grows up. He is still young now." Jiang Changning quickly ran towards his precious son.
"You walk slowly, don't stumble." King Jin reminded anxiously from behind.
Jiang Changning didn't hear anything and walked as fast as flying. At this time, he didn't feel that the phoenix crown on his head was heavy.
The three wet nurses plus Aunt Feng, Shu Fei, and Fu Cui surrounded Xiao Ming, trying to coax him, but they couldn't coax him. The little guy howled so hard that his face turned red.
"Baby, mom is here, stop crying." Jiang Changning said softly.
Hearing a familiar voice, the little guy's cry paused, then continued.
Others heard only cries and howls, but Jiang Changning heard the changes in the cries and howls.
The previous cry had no emotion, it was just a dry cry, but later the cry was filled with grievance.
Jiang Changning hugged her son and coaxed her, while Fangju stood behind her and helped her take off the phoenix crown.
After Xiao Ming stopped crying, Jiang Changning changed into light clothes, fed her milk, hugged Xiao Ming, and went with King Jin to the Liuxuan Courtyard to pay New Year greetings to the concubine.
"Grandma's little darling, you are getting cuter and cuter." The concubine hugged her grandson and smiled broadly.
The concubine's love for her grandson is also reflected in the red envelope, which contains ten silver notes with a face value of one thousand taels.
"Concubine, have you become rich?" King Jin smiled, "Then you should give some to your son."
The concubine slapped his hand away, "No."
"Concubine, do you prefer your grandson to your son?" King Jin asked pretending to be sad.
Jiang Changning smiled, "With grandchildren, your son is worthless."
The concubine nodded in agreement, "That's right."
Prince Jin clutched his chest, "My heart is broken."
"Now that you are a father, you should be more cautious." The concubine smiled at her grandson, "Isn't that right, little darling?"
Xiao Ming just smiled unconsciously, and the concubine was even more happy, "Grandma's little baby also agrees."
Seeing that the concubine looked like she had everything she needed, King Jin breathed a sigh of relief. The concubine would probably have no time to crowd around him in the future.
During the period of national filial piety, there is no need to go out to socialize, just send greetings and express your feelings through chatting.
It was just a few days of leisure without socializing for the King of Jin. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, he became busy because of something in the Yamen.
While he was busy with his work, Jiang Changning's days were still leisurely. Xiao Chun brought ten people chosen by Jiang Nan into Rujingyuan.
Among the ten people, there are seven girls and three boys, the oldest is ten years old and the youngest is three years old.
A three-year-old boy doesn't know how to serve others. What Jiang Changning wants is for him to play with Xiao Ming and grow up together, so that he can be Xiao Ming's bodyguard in the future.
"What's your name?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.
"In reply to the princess, my name is Dog. No, Master Nan gave me another name. My name is Tianyue."
"This name is very popular." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
Tianyue has been by Xiao Ming's side since then and is his most loyal guard.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Changning allowed some people in the mansion to go home for the holidays.
Chunhong was one of these people. She excitedly told her roommate: "I didn't expect that the princess would let us go home for the holidays."
She originally planned to take leave to go to Xiaodouzi's appointment, but now she doesn't need to.
Early in the morning, Chunhong dressed up, put on the new clothes sewn by the house for the servants, and left the house carrying a small baggage.
Chunhong was not born in the family and did not live near the palace. She walked for half an hour before arriving at the entrance of Jingnifang. "Aunt Li's business is good."
The woman selling needles, thread and brains in the street saw her and said with a smile: "Chun Nizi is back for the festival."
"Yes." Chunhong smiled.
The name Chunhong was given to her by her mother-in-law after her father sold her to Sinufang. Her name was Jiang Chunni at home.
The Jiang family has lived in the courtyard of Jingnifang for decades. Chunhong was always greeting people along the way. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw her mother carrying well water, and she hurriedly ran over to help, "Mom."
"Nizi, you are back." Mother Jiang smiled happily.
Chunhong saw the blue mark on her cheek and her face darkened, "Dad hit you again!"
"No, it was a collision." Mother Jiang waved her hand.
"Mom, you don't have to lie to me." Chunhong carried the bucket and went into the house.
The Jiang family occupied two west wing rooms and a west corner room. They lived in the wing room and had a kitchen in the west corner room.
Pour the water into the large vat, Chunhong asked: "Where are Tao Ni and Dong Zhi?"
"I went to the temple fair to sell things." Mother Jiang smiled happily. If the children hadn't been sensible, she would have been unable to endure this day long ago.
At noon, Taoni and Dongzhi came back, but Jiang's father was nowhere to be seen. I wonder if he was gambling with someone again.
Mother Jiang was anxious that her husband would not come back, so she took her three children and cooked lunch.
Taoni and Dongzhi carried baskets and went to the temple fair again. Mother Jiang took her eldest daughter to talk about herself.
Chunhong thought about her appointment with Xiaodouzi, so she didn't stay at home for long. She stuffed the things in the bag to Jiang's mother, "Mom, I'll come back to see you another day when I'm free."
"You work well in the palace and find ways to redeem yourself when you have the chance. You are getting older and it's time to think about your marriage." Mother Jiang sent her out.
Chunhong walked to the entrance of the square and looked around. She soon saw Xiaodouzi. She ran over happily and said, "Brother Dou."
"Sister Hong, you are so beautiful today." Xiaodouzi coaxed sweetly.
"I'm wearing the rouge you gave me." Chunhong said shyly.
Xiaodouzi smiled and said, "I knew this rouge would suit you."
"Brother Dou, today is the Lantern Festival. Let me treat you to the Lantern Festival."
"How can I invite you? I'll treat you." Xiaodouzi took Chunhong to the stall to eat Yuanxiao.
After eating Yuanxiao, Xiaodouzi took her shopping for a while, and then took out a purse and said, "Sister Hong, there is a peace charm inside. You put the peace charm on the young prince of the palace, so that he will not
I cried all day and night.”
"Brother Dou, the young prince didn't cry at night." Chunhong said.
"The little prince doesn't cry at night now, and he will cry at night in the future. Children are like this. If you offer the peace charm in advance, the little prince will not cry at night. You have done a great job. When the time comes, you can be a big maid."
"Brother Dou, you treat me so well."
"You are the daughter-in-law I want to marry. If I don't treat you well, I will treat you well." Xiaodouzi gave her the purse.
Xiaodouzi spoke sweet words eloquently, coaxing Chunhong into a state of elation. She never thought that this peace talisman might become her death talisman.
