After a few days, the Grand Princess activated the Venerable He, allowing him to choose a auspicious day in case he wished to pay respects to his mother. Upon receiving the news, everyone in the Residence of He was full of joy and laughter, as if they had all become the royal family of their country.
Our young master is truly worthy of being called a little god. Although he was married to a young lady, she knew how to give birth to a dragon and a phoenix.” This boy was as intelligent as he was when he was young master. As for this girl, there's no need to mention her. Just by saying that she has gained the favor of Madam Anping and the Grand Princess, one can tell how worthy she is.
”I heard that the marquis' wife wants to take elder sister Yuan as her goddaughter, but was taken away by the eldest princess first. She couldn't win against the eldest princess, so she had to run off and say it. How pitiful!”
The girls of the He manor were discussing in whispers about their honor!
On the auspicious day, the Princess' Mansion had sent a carriage early in the morning to pick up He Yuan and the young mistress for the celebration. Upon entering the carriage, the elder sister hugged He Yuan and urged him on. She saw that although she was young, she could understand everything and repeat everything that she was told. She heaved a sigh of relief and touched He Yuan's head, giving him a fierce kiss.
”If she has a smart father, then naturally, she has a smart daughter!” He Nian, who was standing beside, said with a faint smile, ”You forgot to kiss someone else!”
The elder sister repeatedly reminded He Yuan, so she didn't hear what He Nian said clearly. She raised her head and asked, ”What did you say?”
”Daddy will let you kiss him. Mother, kiss me! I will stand guard for you! ” He Yuan said as he lifted the curtain of the carriage and pretended to look outside. He looked very innocent, and when he turned around, he saw that his old man's face had turned red. He couldn't help but laugh internally. How are you going to end this?
When He Nian saw his elder sister staring at him, he acted like he was talking to a child and acted like he was an immortal, indicating that he didn't say anything.
The lady glared at He Nian again and turned to look at He Yuan. She said in confusion, ”Having a smart daughter is not necessarily a good thing. In the future, you must restrain your words and actions. ” Just as he was speaking, the sedan shook and stopped right in front of the entrance to the Princess' Mansion. Many wives and wives came out to welcome him.
The elder sister hugged He Yuan as she got off the carriage. Just as she was about to speak, she opened her mouth and vomited a mouthful of acid. ”What's wrong?” He Nian and He Yuan asked in unison.
The lady took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the corner of her mouth, then said in a daze, ”It's always been nice on the palanquin, don't tell me you passed out today?”
”Young Mistress He's really having a weak stomach.” A few of the wives came up to him and said, ”Quickly enter the residence and call for the chief physician to come and ask for his pulse. My father and uncle-in-law are all imperial doctors of the palace, and their medical skills are very good! If you have nothing to do, you can just ask for a safe channel. ”
Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist. After a while, his eyes were filled with joy as he held her hand and said in a low voice, ”I'll have to ask the doctor to check your pulse later.” Seeing that the other wives were about to help her into the sedan, he said, ”My wife is not feeling well, please take care!” He carried He Yuan to another sedan chair.
She sat down on the sedan chair and counted the dates with her fingers. Then, she looked at He Nian, who was following behind her, and said with her mouth half open: ”I didn't expect …” However, he stopped himself.
”Mother, what's wrong?” He Yuan was sitting on He Nian's lap. Seeing that his elder sister was looking back at them, the corners of his mouth were full of smiles. He couldn't help but feel curious. Why would he be happy if his elder sister wasn't well? Just as he was about to ask, in a split-second, he immediately understood. Ah! I'm delighted! However, he couldn't help but hear He Nian say happily: ”Little ball, your mom is going to add a little brother for us!”
”You're going to add your little brother?” Wow, I'm so happy! ” He Yuan couldn't help but jump in joy. He and his little brother were both more than three years old, if this old lady wasn't pregnant, she would probably gossip a lot. This was great, now that he was the eldest princess' goddaughter, no one would dare cause trouble for him.
After entering the hall, the princess came out to welcome him. She hugged He Yuan and kissed him, then said with a smile, ”You've finally arrived!” Seeing that elder sister and He Nian were bowing, she was supported by others. She smiled and said, ”elder sister Yuan will be my daughter from now on. Young mistress He is my younger sister. You don't have to be so polite.”
The princess was only about twenty-five years old. She had long eyebrows, charming eyes, and a slim figure. Although she looked a bit ill, her smile was very bright. My lady had also heard that the princess had been ill for a long time because of the death of her little daughter, and only now did she feel better. Now that he wanted to congratulate Yuan Yuan as his foster daughter, perhaps it was because he was in a good mood when it came to happy occasions, but there was a sense of joy in the depths of his eyes. Seeing that the princess was hugging He Yuan and refused to let go, revealing her true feelings, your elder sister felt at ease. He was worried that the people of the royal family would be stone-hearted and wouldn't mind family relationships, but now it seemed that the people of the royal family also had a soft side to them.
As soon as he sat down, the ceremonial female official who came out of the palace presided over the ceremony of kowtowing to the godmother. He could only kneel down and kowtow to the princess as instructed by the lord, calling her ”godmother.” He was lifted up by the princess and held onto his knees. On the one hand, it was worth a reward.
The Princess had a faint fragrance on her body that He Yuan felt was very good. He leaned over her neck and sniffed, then blurted out, ”Mother, you smell very good!”
”Hehe, what I am using is the White Jade Ointment bestowed by the palace. The fragrance is extremely faint.” Although the princess' eyes were still red, her tone was extremely cheerful as she smiled and said, ”I'll give your mother a few boxes later!” When your elder sister heard this, she hurriedly thanked him.
Seeing that the ceremony was over, one of the wives went up to whisper a few words to the princess. The princess immediately said, ”Why didn't you tell me earlier? Quickly ask the doctor to come out and take her pulse.” At this time, there's no need for you to avoid it. Just take a look at the pulse in the hall! ”
He Nian and his elder sister immediately thanked him. The doctor had arrived in a hurry. After taking the pulse, he stood up and said, ”Congratulations, young mistress. This is a wedding meridian!”
Ah!” The Prince Consort, the Grand Princess, and the others were all taken aback by the sudden turn of events and hurriedly congratulated him. Although He Nian was calm in front of everyone, he could not conceal his smile as he thanked them one by one.
As she had just paid respects to her mother, the princess only asked He Yuan to stay for a few days before returning to the mansion. Seeing that He Yuan was rather daring and did not want to give birth to anyone, the princess said a few more words before taking her leave with He Nian. The princess naturally bestowed many items and supplements, and also sent the appropriate person to escort He Nian and your highness back.
Here, He Yuan was surrounded by the stars like the moon, and the princess even called out to the acrobats in the house to play tricks with her, and quickly had the kitchen make a few types of children's favorite sweets. They first ordered someone to scoop up a spoonful of purple rice meat and feed it to her. He Yuan said crisply, ”Mother, I know how to eat!”
”Yo, look at your hot hands. It's the same when mother feeds you!” The princess hugged He Yuan and sat on her side with one arm wrapped around her. With the other hand, she scooped up a piece of meat and fed it to He Yuan, completely treating her like a baby. As he laughed, he said, ”If the taste isn't good, just spit it out. Let's eat something else instead.”
