The third child

Jiang Changning became pregnant with her third child when Xiao Yubai was almost two years old, but this time, it was not as easy as the previous two.

When she was pregnant with Xiao Ming'er and Xiao Bai, she didn't suffer from morning sickness and the food tasted delicious. Even the concubine said: "The child is a loving one."

But now, since she was diagnosed with pregnancy, she has been vomiting whatever she eats. She is also very sensitive to smells. She will feel nauseated and vomit randomly when she smells the slightest unpleasant smell.

Her belly wasn't much bigger, but she lost weight first.

King Jin looked very worried and was considering whether he should give up the child.

Jiang Changning was very happy, "The reaction was different. It must be my daughter this time. My daughter is so coquettish that she would torment people like this."

Everyone in Prince Jin's palace was very careful about her pregnancy, and the concubine even ordered everyone in the palace not to apply powder, smoke incense, or eat strong-flavored food.

"This is too much." Jiang Changning said.

"But that's how it should be. Well, don't worry too much and listen to your mother and concubine." Prince Jin touched her slightly swollen belly and said, "Good boy, be good and don't torment your mother and concubine."

Jiang Changning glanced at him sideways. Before his daughter was born, he treated her differently. His son was a brat and his daughter was a good child.

It's just that this good boy is not good at all. Jiang Changning vomits like crazy every day.

A prince had one main concubine and two concubines, occupying all the positions. Prince Yu was not too willing, as it was not convenient for him to use his position as a side concubine to win over people.

Prince Yu stared at her, "You treat Shi very differently."

"Then I wrote it down in black and white, do you believe it?" King Jin asked with a serious expression.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu." Jiang Changning said politely.

Her calmness dispelled King Yu's suspicion, "Although they both gave birth to sons, one is the eldest son and the other is the second son. There is a difference. The Fang family can apply for a title, but the Yu family cannot."

Yu Jiaolan did not fight with Prince Yu. It was Zhao Xifang who approached Prince Yu and said, "The Yu family has also given birth to a son. Shouldn't it be time for the prince to give her a concubine title?"

"No, I don't believe in oaths."

King Jin's face darkened, and his majestic aura became stronger. In the past two years, the battle between him and King Qing in the court became more and more intense. His wife, Dr. Liu, was trembling and could not speak.

Xiaobai followed his brother's example and also saluted, but he was younger and his movements were not as neat and graceful as his brother's, but he was still cute and adorable.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for reminding me. I understand." Jiang Changning smiled.

"Don't worry, I will help you fight for it." Zhao Xifang comforted her.

Jiang Changning asked doubtfully: "You really didn't ask?"

Xiao Ming'er led his younger brother Xiao Bai in. Xiao Ming'er looks like King Jin, and even has a similar figure. A six-year-old baby is taller than his peers.

The King of Jin whipped Xiao Ming'er to memorize the "Four Books", and Jiang Changning asked his younger son, "What did Xiao Bai do with his brother?"

"No, please seal me." King Yu said solemnly.

"Nonsense, this baby is definitely a daughter." Jiang Changning pushed the small plate of sour plums aside, "I'm not acidophilic, I love spicy food."

"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it." Doctor Liu said fearfully.

Jiang Changning smiled and said, "Thanks to these sour plums."

Now King Yu has three children, two sons and one daughter. These three children have three biological mothers. The eldest daughter is born to Zhao Xifang, and the eldest son is born to Fang Youting, a concubine.

Doctor Liu had a troubled expression on his face, "My lord, this medicine is three-part poison. The princess is pregnant, so the lower officials cannot prescribe this prescription."

Jiang Changning chuckled and said, "There is no basis for what you say."

After saying that, he took a small jar of pickled sour plums from the medicine box and handed it to Xiulan.

"Yes, Father."

At this time, the voices of Xiao Ming'er and his brothers were heard outside the house. Jiang Changning did not answer Prince Jin's question and looked at the door with a smile.

Jiang Changning pulled off his sleeve, "Your Majesty, Master Liu is right. Morning sickness is a normal physiological reaction for pregnant women. There is no medicine that can stop vomiting."

Wearing a silver-white brocade robe with dark patterns, people can already think of his graceful demeanor when he grows up.

After Xiao Ming'er sat down on the chair, without waiting for the King of Jin to ask, he took the initiative and said: "My husband's classmate came to Beijing, and he wants to fulfill his friendship as a landlord, so he gave me a day off."

The King of Jin called in Dr. Liu, who was good at obstetrics, and asked, "Prescribe a prescription to prevent the princess from vomiting like this. If she continues to vomit like this, the princess's body will not be able to bear it."

The king of Jin did not give the small jar of sour plums to Jiang Changning right away. Instead, he asked Imperial Physician Xue and several close friends who knew medical skills to look at the jar and confirm that it was suitable for pregnant women to eat before giving it to Jiang Changning.

"Why don't you believe it?" King Jin asked curiously.

"Good boy." Jiang Changning called Xiaobai to his side, and King Jin bent down and carried his youngest son onto the kang.

"The imperial doctor didn't tell me, and I didn't ask. It's not like you didn't allow me to ask."

On this day, King Jin came back early again. When he entered the house, he asked, "How are you today?"

"Brother took me to see chickens, ducks, puppies and kittens." Xiaobai said in a milky voice.

King Jin reached out and touched her belly, "Princess, they say sour children are hot girls. If you are sour, this baby may be a son again."

"Your Highness, this is inappropriate, isn't it? They are all the Prince's women, and they all gave birth to sons for the Prince. One of them asked for a title, and one did not. I feel sorry for the Yu family."

The youngest son who was just one month old was born to his beloved concubine Yu Guerlain. Fang Youting gave birth to a son and was made a concubine. Yu Mingzhu also gave birth to a son. Should she also be made a concubine?

Zhao Xifang said calmly: "Ms. Yu respects me as the main wife. She never lacks morning and evening readings and doesn't pick any trouble. She asks me if I want this or that. I think she is an honest person, so of course she has to protect her."

"Do you want to swear?" King Jin asked with a smile.

Zhao Xifang remained calm. When she saw Yu Guerlain the next day, she said, "Fang gave birth to the eldest son, who has a different status."

After a pause, he added: "If you give birth to a son, please invite me to be a concubine. Two concubines are not enough."

In order to have a daughter, how can you deceive yourself like this?

"I have to rely on the princess." Yu Jiaolan said on her knees.

Prince Jin's expression softened, "Isn't there any way?"

"Xiaobai, do you like chickens, ducks and puppies?"

"I like it." Xiaobai said loudly.

"Is your husband talking about the Four Books these days?"

"You sit down too." King Jin was a strict father in front of his son.

"What's the difference? They're both concubines." Yu Jiaolan said dissatisfiedly.

"As long as you can eat it," King Jin said with a smile.

"It's good to have a son or a daughter." King Jin was really worried that the more hope Jiang Changning had, the more disappointed he would be.

He bowed politely to his parents and said, "My son wants to say hello to his father, and he wants to say hello to his mother and concubine."

"Very good, I'm eating egg custard." Jiang Changning suffered from severe morning sickness and could only eat smaller meals more frequently. This way she could absorb some nutrients, which would be good for her and her child.

There was a lot of fun in the Prince of Jin's Mansion, but there was a lot of fun in the Prince of Yu's Mansion that day.

Jiang Changning stared at King Jin, "Did the imperial doctor tell you that I am pregnant with a son?"

Doctor Liu also specifically explained, "Princess, these plums are pickled after all. They are no better than fresh plums. It is not advisable to eat too much. When the princess really wants to vomit, she will only hold one in her mouth to relieve it."

Doctor Liu stammered and replied: "The sour plums pickled by Xiaguan may be able to relieve some of the pain."

Zhao Xifang smiled, "When you get well, I will let the prince visit your yard more often."

"Thank you, Princess." Yu Jielan was even happier.

Zhao Xifang's eyes flashed, "You have just given birth, don't stand for a long time, go back and rest."

Yu Guerlain saluted and left.
