The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(155)

After leaving the palace, the Prince of Jin went all the way back to the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

When he came to the courtyard where Yao Niang lived, he saw Yao Niang holding Er Bao and feeding her milk as soon as he entered the door, with Xiao Bao standing beside her.

Chapter 123

Yao Niang's milk came out on the night of her delivery.

The Prince of Jin meant that she would not be allowed to breastfeed, but let the wet nurse feed her. Not to mention that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent several wet nurses for selection, the Prince of Jin also privately ordered someone to find a wet nurse.

Yao Niang also knew the rules of the rich and powerful families, and few would breastfeed their children personally, so she agreed. However, although she agreed, she felt that she owed Er Bao a little, and always asked Yu Chan and the others to bring Er Bao to her and secretly feed him once or twice.

Er Bao and the two wet nurses were temporarily placed in the west room. Yao Niang sat in the east room and heard Er Bao crying in the west room, so she asked Hong Chou what was wrong and asked her to bring Er Bao over.

When Hong Chou came back, not only Er Bao was brought over, but the wet nurse also followed. The two wet nurses were sweating profusely. They didn't know why Erbao was crying. He had just had milk, his diaper had just been changed, and they had checked that there was nothing wrong with him, but he just cried.

Yao Niang took Erbao over with a distressed look on her face. Strangely, as soon as he was in Yao Niang's arms, Erbao stopped crying.

"He misses his mother." Yao Niang said with a smile.

Erbao entered Yao Niang's arms and arched against her chest, moving his little mouth.

He wants to eat.

Yao Niang said to Hongchou and others seriously, "Okay, you all go down. I'll leave the second young master here first. I'll call you if there's anything."

Hongchou and the others knew at a glance that the concubine wanted to secretly feed the second young master, but since the master insisted, they all pretended not to know. A group of people filed out.

Seeing that everyone had left, Yao Niang lifted her clothes, and Erbao came forward, and his little mouth grabbed it, sucking greedily.

If Yao Niang didn't know that the two nurses were honest and Hong Fei had been watching them, she would have really thought that the two nurses had come here hungry every day.

Xiao Bao stood by and blushed a little, and turned his head to the side. Yao Niang became interested and teased: "Xiao Bao is shy, but you were like this at the beginning."

"No, I'm not like this." Xiao Bao retorted.

Since he came, he has not eaten his mother's milk. It's not that he hasn't eaten, but he hasn't eaten like this.

He glanced at Er Bao's satisfied chubby face and couldn't help but suggest: "Feed with a spoon."

Yao Niang shook her head: "Er Bao is still young and can't use a spoon."

As she was talking, King Jin walked in from outside, and Hong Chou and others followed behind, looking at Yao Niang with a guilty look.

In this situation, Yao Niang couldn't stop Er Bao from eating, so she could only turn her body slightly and pretend that it was nothing serious.

King Jin sat down on the edge of the bed. Xiao Bao looked at his father with a gloomy face, and then glanced at his mother with a guilty face. I really want to say, since you are so confident, don't look guilty. Isn't it obvious that there is something fishy here.

Yao Niang finally prepared herself mentally, turned her head and looked at King Jin, and said casually: "By the way, you said you wanted to tell me something last night, but you didn't tell me last night."

She was obviously changing the subject, but King Jin couldn't help but think of what happened in the palace before.

Originally, he wanted to give her a surprise, but now this surprise is obviously not possible. A burst of depression arose in his heart. If he sat in that position, he would naturally do whatever he wanted. Now it's just a divorce, but there are so many things.

However, this will definitely not be said to Yao Niang. He cut out the beginning and the end and told the story of Princess Jin and Princess Yong. Including the relationship between Princess Jin and Princess Yong, what Princess Yong did behind her back over the years, and why Princess Jin attacked Yao Niang this time.

In the past, King Jin would not tell Yao Niang these things. He would help her arrange everything in detail. She is so stupid that she can't handle the things outside. But now, the King of Jin has changed his mind. One day, she will face all kinds of things outside.

Even if she doesn't need to do anything, she must know the truth to avoid being deceived by those with ulterior motives. After all, she is the mother of two children. How can she be so innocent all the time?

After hearing what the King of Jin said, Yao Niang was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. She didn't even realize that the King of Jin pulled Erbao out of her arms and let Hongchou take him away.

"You mean the Princess and the Princess of Yong..."

Well, Yao Niang finally understood why the relationship between the King of Jin and the Princess of Jin was so bad, why the King of Jin never went to Siyiyuan, and why the Princess couldn't give birth to a child. She used to think that the Princess was too weak to give birth to a child, so she wanted to snatch her child. Now it seems that the reason is so complicated and surprising.

"I told my father that I would send her to the farm outside to recuperate. Tomorrow, Erbao will have his third day of bathing. I will let the seventh son's wife come to help."

Yao Niang nodded.

She was still in shock, and besides nodding, she didn't know what to do. There was too much information in the words of the Prince of Jin, and she couldn't accept it.

On the day of the third day of the baby's birth, the Prince of Jin's mansion was very lively.

People from the Prince of An's mansion, the Prince of Yong's mansion, the Prince of Dai's mansion and other mansions came. In the past, they were all in their fiefdoms, far away from each other. Now that they were in the capital and encountered such a big happy event, they naturally came to congratulate.

Not only that, Queen Wei also gave gifts. Some of them were said to be for the children, but more of them were for Yao Niang, probably with the intention of comforting and compensating.

The men were in the front yard, and the women gathered in the yard where Yao Niang lived.

Li Wenpo was the midwife who helped with the third day of the baby's birth. Yao Niang could hear Erbao's loud cry outside even when she was sitting inside.

This child had a loud voice, and when he cried, the earth shook. Even Xiaobao, who loved his younger brother so much, couldn't help but cover his ears when he heard Erbao crying.

Hongchou wrapped Erbao in a small blanket and brought him in. Hongdie and others rushed over to dress him and put on a diaper. Only when he was handed over to Yao Niang did Erbao stop crying.

Hongfei hurried in and said that Princess An and the others were here.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter outside the door, followed by a burst of rings and pendants, mixed with a fragrant breeze.

"This is a lucky one, giving birth to two sons for the fifth brother in a row. We came here to check on you. Don't get off the bed, you are in confinement." Princess An said with a smile.

"Yes, don't come down, we are here to share your joy. It's no wonder that Concubine Su is blessed. It's no wonder that she has many children."

They kept talking, and Yao Niang blushed. She didn't know what to say except to smile.

"By the way, why didn't the fifth sister-in-law come out today? I heard from Princess Qing that the fifth sister-in-law seemed to be sick?" Princess Lu asked curiously.

Princess Qing nodded, with a look of pity on her face: "Yes, it's not a coincidence. The fifth sister-in-law is sick. The doctor said that she can't stand the wind. The sisters-in-law should know that the fifth brother is a pure and unrestrained person. There are not many other people in this mansion, so they asked me to help entertain the sisters-in-law. They also know that I am thick-skinned and self-acquainted, and I am not treated as an outsider."

She smiled while talking, and since she said this, naturally no one would be ignorant to expose her.

What is sick? I'm afraid that this concubine who is in the limelight has given birth to another son, and she is depressed and has given up.

This Prince Jin is really cold-faced and emotionless. When the wife of the main house is upset, he should just coax her, but he asks his younger brother and sister-in-law to help to deal with it. He slapped her in the face too hard. Fortunately, there are only a few women from the prince's house who came to visit today, otherwise the Princess of Jin would lose face this time.

Going to see Yao Niang again, the main wives felt like they were watching a fox spirit. The main house and the concubines have always been in a state of hostility. Although the sisters-in-law of the Princess of Jin and others sit together and talk wittily, they often trip each other up. But when it comes to the west wind overwhelming the east wind, they all look down on the west wind without exception.

It was just a formality, and Princess Qing was afraid that these people would stay for too long and say something unpleasant to irritate Yao Niang, so she led them out to have tea somewhere else. The guests who came to celebrate the third day of the third month of the lunar year had to have a banquet before they could leave.

As soon as they left the yard, Princess Yong proposed to go and check on Princess Jin. It was said that they could not see the wind, but it would not hinder them from visiting.

Princess Qing knew more about the inside story than others. Although she did not know the details, she knew that it was the fifth brother who deliberately left the fifth sister-in-law alone. It was obvious that the fifth sister-in-law had done something unforgivable and was confined by the fifth brother.

When entrusted by someone, she would naturally be loyal to him. She would help to block it. But the ranking of Prince Qing was low among the princes. Except for the Princess Wu, everyone here was her sister-in-law. She could only watch them go to the residence of the Princess Jin.

Helplessly, she hurriedly asked someone to pass a message to the Prince of Jin, and she followed.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, it seemed no different from the past.

After Princess An and others arrived, a maid came out to greet them.

"My princess is ill and cannot see the wind, so I am impolite today. Please forgive me, princesses. If you don't mind, I will prepare a cup of fragrant tea for you to enjoy. I will personally go to your house to apologize in the future."

"Okay, we are sisters-in-law, so who would argue with her? No need for tea, let's go in and check on her. It doesn't make sense not to see people after entering the door."

"This--" The girl didn't hesitate for too long and made a gesture of invitation, "Ladies, please come this way."

The room was full of gloom. It was clearly the hot summer day in June, but the windows in this room were not open, and thick curtains were hung on the window sashes.

There were lights on the high tables and cabinets, so it didn't look dark, but it felt a little weird to suddenly enter such a room in broad daylight. Especially with the ice pot in the corner of the room, slowly emitting cool air, it made people feel inexplicably weird.

There was a person lying on the couch.

She was covered with a thick blanket, her face was pale, and there were heavy shadows under her eye sockets, and she looked very ill.

"Oh, Fifth Sister-in-law, why are you like this?"
