Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 374

After a sumptuous imperial meal, Concubine Cui led the princess and the three wives to the south-facing Nuannuan Pavilion to play horseshoes.This is a necessary means of communication for rich women. Xiao Wenqing stood aside and watched it when she was Mrs. He's maid, but she didn't have a chance to play. Later, she honed her skills at Mrs. Liu's side and socialized with the wives after she got married. often play.Since she has a super good memory, she basically won't lose unless the cards are really bad or deliberately put water.Everyone knows that she has a good memory, and every time she hits the horse crane, she smiles and says, "You have to let the water go, don't let me lose all my private money."

After playing for half a round, Concubine Cui said: "Wenqing, I remember now, isn't your young master two years old? The twin sons are also six months old. Ruyu, your son seems to be over one year old now Wanzhen, how old is your daughter?"

Xiao Wenqing played out the cards that he wanted or didn't want, nodded and said: "Madam, the dog Xiaoxiao is two years old this year, and Lang Lang Kangkang will be six months this month." Because the children are all taken care of by nanny and nanny, she It's not hard.

Cui Wanzhen, who reached out to touch the cards, said to her aunt: "Mother, the little girl Niu Niu is already eight months old." After nearly two years of marriage, her belly has not moved, and the Cui and Murong families are in a hurry.Fortunately she was still pregnant, unfortunately the first birth was a daughter.It doesn't matter if she has a daughter, as long as she can give birth, it proves that there is no problem with her body, and she will give birth to a son sooner or later.Her husband and son-in-law were pretty good, he was not in a hurry to take a concubine or impregnated the only housemaid, and patiently waited for her to give birth to the eldest son, ensuring that the two surnames were friendly.

Niu Niu is really a girl's nickname that commoners and nobles like to use.

Xiao Wenqing, who heard "Niu Niu" again, thought to herself.

"Your Majesty." Murong Ruyu, who was waiting for Cui Wanzhen to play a card, said, "Young son is one year and six months old."

"Well, you young people, it's really a good time to have children." Concubine Cui said with emotion, a trace of melancholy appeared on her round and fair face.Because of politics, as the eldest daughter, she had to enter the palace to become one of the many women who were 30 years older than herself. Because her natal family was too powerful, she was very healthy and did not give birth for a long time; she was in the harem Struggling hard, until the prince and the princes basically grew up and had wings, she became pregnant and gave birth to a little princess.A woman, if possible, still wants to be the main wife of a man, and give birth to an heir for her husband as she pleases.

Xiao Wenqing, Cui Wanzhen, and Murong Ruyu are all people with a clear heart, and they dare not answer the words when they see the melancholy expression on the empress's face.

Concubine Cui Gui looked around at the three young ladies who were playing horses with her, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen a vigorous child for a long time, why don't you take the child to the palace and let me have a look. Follow the joy and reward.”

Xiao Wenqing and the others didn't care about heavy rewards, and felt that the weather in November was too cold, and it would be easy for the children to catch cold when they went out, but the imperial concubine was interested, could they refuse?cannot!So the imperial concubine sent the eunuchs and the maids they brought with them to their mansion, and brought their children to the palace.

Worried that the precious young children of the three families would catch a cold, Concubine Cui told them that there was no rush, and that the children must be wrapped up before being carried over in a warm sedan chair. "Come here, burn another charcoal basin for the Nuan Pavilion, and put away all the sharp and horny things here. If you can't put them away and may be bumped by children, wrap them in a soft cloth." She ordered, "Today's palace There are little guests here, and this palace cannot let them have any mistakes."

"Yes, empress." Several court ladies standing in the warm pavilion said immediately, and began to tidy up the house.

Xiao Wenqing said with a smile: "Mother, you are too cautious, the children are all under the care of the nanny, so it is impossible for them to bump into the stool at the corner of the table." Her family Xiaoxiao is the most sensible, she will never walk around in other people's houses, He Kangkang can only turn over now, barely propped himself up and crawl a few times, let alone bump into the corner of the table or stool.

"They are all the darlings of your family. If there is any mistake on my side, I can't afford it." Cui Guifei said with a smile, and played out the cards she just got.

"Ma'am, the children of Lord Hou's family are all strong, especially the young master." Murong Ruyu smiled, "I went to the Hou's mansion to chat with Wen Qing last month, and saw his young master wearing single clothes and wielding a wooden sword. Chasing a big wolfhound, and running around on the back of the wolfhound. I was scared when I saw the big wolfhound, so I didn’t dare to hug one for my kid.” She inquired about the bloodline of the big wolfhound, and thought You can get it if you want, but such a ferocious thing is still not suitable as a child's pet.

"Really?" Concubine Cui suddenly excitedly asked, "Wenqing, what kind of dog is that, can it be kept in the palace?" The life of concubines in the palace is very lonely, many people keep pets, and she has cats. Dogs, birds, fish, minks, and even white mice.

Xiao Wenqing smiled and replied: "Ma'am, that's a mixed-breed wolfhound brought by my Lord Hou from the army. It is said to be the third generation of a mixed-breed female hound and wild wolf in the northwest mountain area. It is tall and fierce, tough, brave and spiritual. He is extremely loyal to his master and very unkind to strangers. Once this kind of mixed wolf dog is weaned, it needs to be raised by the master himself for a long time, otherwise it will not be loyal enough." When Xiaoxiao first started raising the dog, the puppy cage was placed in his Next to the bed, the first thing he did when he got out of bed in the morning was to feed the puppy with his own hands under the guidance of the dog breeder, and the last thing he did at night was to put the puppy in the cage.

Concubine Cui shook her head and said, "As expected of a descendant of the God of War, I have kept such a ferocious pet since I was a child." Lord Mo Hou is also bold, allowing children to raise large wolf dogs, so they are not afraid of children being bitten by wolf dogs.

She turned to Cui Wanzhen and said, "Wanzhen, my Xueqiu is pregnant with a cub and is about to give birth. When the cub can be weaned, you can take one as a companion for your daughter." Only two or three are born in each litter, and no one else can hold them as much as they want.

"Thank you for your reward, my little girl must be very happy to see the fluffy snow-white puppy." Cui Wanzhen hurriedly got up to thank her.

Concubine Cui Gui and the three noble ladies are playing horses and doing homework, waiting for the arrival of the children.
