Chapter 346 Lily is Pregnant Again

The New Year's customs in central Beijing are different from those in Taiping County. On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the stove is sacrificed. From the 24th until the [-]th day of the first lunar month, fireworks are set off every day.

Because there were few people in the imperial family, and the emperor loved Xinwang's family very much, on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the whole family went to the palace to watch the new year.The family members all wear gourd Jingbuzi and python clothes, and when they meet, they greet each other and bid farewell to the old year.

The emperor's grandchildren all wore big red and small python robes and golden crowns, dressed like golden boys under the fairy seat.Like Yiyu and Ruzhen, the road is not stable, but they laugh at everyone they meet, and their two chubby little hands bow together, which is really cute.

Shou Sui stayed up all night, the emperor looked at the children and grandchildren in the house, he was very pleased, and said to the king, "Now I go to see my ancestors, and I am not afraid of them beating me."

King Xin thinks about favoring the trustworthy in the Xianxian Temple, the nonsense in the Wu Temple, the absurd way in the Shi Temple, and the lazy in the Temple, and the red pills in the Guang Temple... quickly put away his disrespectful thoughts to the ancestors, and said with a smile: " Why did the ancestors bear to beat the imperial brother? If there is a punishment, the younger brother will take it on behalf of the imperial brother."

From the New Year's Eve to the first and fifth shifts of the first lunar month, the boys burned incense and set off paper cannons. The boys fell asleep in the nurse's arms after a sleepy night.

The emperor waved his hand: "Go and play, tell them to watch carefully, don't hurt yourself."

He Zhen took the lead to rush out into the gunpowder-smelling air, Hanzhi also twisted her body to go with her brothers, the nanny looked at the princess in embarrassment, before the princess could speak, Princess Zhaoren hugged Hanzhi and said: "Come on, I'll take you to put a big one!"

Hanzhi clapped her hands: "Phoenix, Phoenix's!"

There are dragon and phoenix patterns on the fireworks in the palace. Although Han Zhi doesn't quite understand it, she heard the maids around her say that the phoenix cannons are beautiful, and she is very yearning for them.

Zhaoren also smiled: "Sister Zhi has such good eyesight, my aunt will take you to release Phoenix right now."

There is a child who is afraid of the firecrackers, snuggling close to the adults, Yi An is nestled in the arms of her father-in-law, Princess Changping is holding Yi Yu, the three children of the prince and his wife are outside, looking around, the prince simply pulls him over. Hanfang covered her ears.

Ruzhen looked back at the firecrackers and shouted excitedly. When the cannons rang outside, he shrank his neck in shock. Song Haonian wanted to cover his ears, but he refused to let him. He stared outside intently, his legs moving vigorously. Luan stomping, fortunately it was his father who was holding him, if it was Lily, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hold him.

King Yongjun looked at his poor little Hanai, and covered her ears with his big hand.Hanai is the eldest daughter of the concubine, and the king and concubine of Yongjun don't like her very much. Now that his father put his hand on her head, Hanai's whole body trembled. Set off fireworks for a while.

Before dawn at five o'clock, all kinds of firecrackers in the palace were fired together, lighting up half of the sky, and with the sound of fireworks outside, it was like a scene of a prosperous age.

After setting off the cannon, Shangshan served flat food and pepper wine, even Ruzhen licked the tips of Song Haonian's chopsticks to taste the taste, the wine tasted bitter and spicy, he wrinkled his small face and almost cried.

While it was still early, everyone bowed to each other and congratulated each other on the New Year. This day's dim sum was a box, filled with persimmons, lychees, longan, chestnuts, ripe dates and other dried fruits, which were sweet and mellow.

Mu San didn't need to enter the palace to watch the new year, but he dragged Qingsong and Wenwa to mess around in Prince Mu's mansion. The fireworks that filled the city in the morning were the most beautiful in their mansion except for the palace.

Mu San didn't forget to send some of the best fireworks to Ms. He's house, and Ms. He returned him a book of ghosts. Mu San was overjoyed and said that Ms. He was his bosom friend.

The customs in Beijing in the second year of junior high school are similar to those in Taiping County. Married girls all go back to their natal homes. On this day, the concubine Xin Wang Shizi went back to Xu’s home, and she believed in the Zhou family of the concubine’s natal family, because Song Haonian was almost kissed decades ago. The Zhou family was demoted to the end for the death of the grandfather, and Xin Wangfei no longer recognized her mother's family.

Every year around this time, Concubine Xin always feels sad. In previous years, Wang Jin went to Nanjing every year to monitor whether the Zhou family had ever been punished.

Song Haonian is here this year, the princess is in a good mood, she doesn't even care if she doesn't have her natal family to go back to.Baihe said: "My natal family is not here, so I simply stay with my concubine mother, please don't find me annoying, and feel sorry for me."

Princess Zhou smiled wryly: "My son, how can I not love you?"

It just so happened that Princess Changping came out of the palace and wrote to the palace, with Qingsong and Wenwa behind her: "Brother Xuan's daughter-in-law's natal family is not in the capital, but at least ask your natal family to reunite."

Lily thanked her again.

Qingsong looked around for Ruzhen, and only saw him crawling under the chair for a long time, not knowing what he was playing with, so she quickly hugged him out: "Call him uncle."

If he is really learning to speak, Qingsong teases him for a while, and he speaks out the word "Jiu" slowly, Qingsong is so happy that he almost loses his teeth.

On the third day of the first month of the first lunar month, when snow fell, Song Haonian's childlike innocence suddenly arose, and he built a snowman in the yard, put on Ruzhen's clothes and a hat, the princess passed by and saw it, and hurriedly called out: "Why is Ruzhen standing in the snow? Hurry up and pick him up!"

Song Haonian came out with Ruzhen in his arms, the princess looked at Ruzhen and then at the Snowman, annoyed Song Haonian: "Why are you so naughty!"

Song Haonian said with a smile: "If you really haven't seen snow, you will go crazy when you see it. I made him a snowball, and he held it and melted his hands. Let him build a snowman to make him look more interesting." .”

The princess hurriedly grabbed Ruzhen's little hand: "Oh, it's so cold, don't freeze us, Ruzhen."

Unexpectedly, Ruzhen's firepower was strong, his hands were warm, and he didn't feel cold at all.The concubine asked Song Haonian again if it was cold, "The weather in the capital city is not as good as that in Taiping County, so don't wrong yourself."

Although Song Haonian grew up in Taiping County, he is a northerner at heart, and this kind of weather never froze him.On the other hand, Lily, who feels cold after a snowfall, is recuperating in the house now, fearing that it might be too late, she just asks Song Haonian to take her son to play elsewhere.

On the seventh day of the seventh day, Lily ate spring pancakes and vegetables, but Lily still had a bad taste in her mouth.The queen gave wine from the palace, saying that it can beautify the skin, this thing should not be hot, eat it cold, and I don't know if it is a way to fight poison with poison, but Lily recovered.

By the time of the Lantern Festival, the lily has recovered.

A mountain of lights a few feet high was erected in the palace, which was radiant from a distance, and there were lights and festoons everywhere in Prince Xin's mansion.King Xin was very particular about playing with utensils and elegant manners. He drew a lantern for each of his children and grandchildren, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not behind.

Song Haonian got dozens of lanterns at once, some were newly painted, and some were saved from previous years: "In the past, I painted lanterns every year. If your brothers and sisters had them, you also have them."

Up and down the Palace of Prince Xin, they never forgot Zhu Cixuan who died young.

Song Haonian's eyes were flushed, "Father, I'm not filial..."

He has never fulfilled his filial piety for a few days in his life, how could he feel sorry for leaving his parents behind and going back to the countryside for the sake of his own ease and comfort?
Concubine Xin's eyes lit up, and she almost immediately wanted to say: "Brother Xuan will stay here and do his filial piety by our side." She swallowed the words, the beloved son of parents, wishing him peace and happiness.

Xin Wang said: "As long as you live a good life, it is your filial piety. Now you can stay with your parents for a short time. Let's be happy every day and don't be so depressed!"

Song Haonian nodded quickly, serving his parents more attentively.

On February [-], when the dragon raised its head, the lanterns at the gate of the palace and in the mansion were removed.The weather is gradually getting warmer, fur hats and mink furs are put away before Qingming Festival, puffer fish are eaten, and reed bud soup is drunk.

Fugu meat is delicious, but it is highly poisonous. Ordinary cooks dare not clean it, for fear that something wrong will happen to them, and they will be unlucky.It is customary for the royal family to eat puffer fish. The palace has its own skilled chefs, and they use animals to test poison layer by layer to ensure that people will eat it without incident.

Song Haonian tasted a piece of puffer fish, but felt that it was very delicious, and said to Lily: "In my opinion, if everyone eats it, it will be fine."

Lily picked up a piece of puffer fish bravely, and was about to put it in her mouth, when suddenly there was a fishy smell, and she lost her appetite immediately.

"Daughter-in-law, what's the matter?" Song Haonian stared at Baihe's movement, saw her ugly face, and hurriedly asked.

Lily suppressed the overwhelming nausea in her chest, and whispered: "You have to ask a doctor to take a look, I'm afraid..."

After she gave birth to Ruzhen, her body has been recuperating well, and her childhood has never been disturbed again. There is also an imperial physician in Xinwang's mansion who consults regularly. If there is any problem, she will naturally be notified as soon as possible.

Song Haonian didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly reported to Princess Xin in a low voice, asking the imperial physician to order Baihe to see her.

The imperial physician placed his hand on Lily's wrist through a silk handkerchief, examined her carefully twice, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Highness."

Song Haonian's heart moved: "Why, is she really pregnant? The mansion asks a doctor every few days, why didn't the diagnosis come out?"

The imperial physician ordered: "Your Majesty's pregnancy lasts for a month. I'm afraid that your Majesty herself doesn't know that there is something wrong with her childhood, does she? It's not uncommon for her to not be diagnosed a few days ago."

This was an unexpected joy, not only Xin Wang and his wife were overjoyed, but also the emperor and empress excitedly changed the food and water on the lily mat, and gave medicinal materials, tonics, cloth and other items.

Ruzhen didn't know what happened, but after the white-bearded grandfather left, his father didn't tell him to throw himself on his mother again, he was immediately unhappy, and lost his temper at the back of the imperial doctor Ling.

Concubine Zhou hurriedly hugged Ruzhen: "Your mother is going to give birth to a younger brother for you, so you must not work on her anymore."

"Brother?" Ruzhen can't speak clearly, but the word "brother" is easy to pronounce, so he can speak clearly.

There is a point here, people say that children have bright eyes and can speak intelligently, if they learn to speak of "brother" as they really are, everyone will say it is a good omen, congratulations to Song Haonian and Baihe.

Song Haonian said: "It doesn't matter whether it's a son or a daughter, there is nothing wrong with our family's children!"

Lily rubbed her stomach, and she was also happy in her heart: Ruzhen loves to play with her brothers and sisters the most, but she doesn't have a biological brother or sister, so if she gives birth to this one in the future, he will have a companion.

The royal children, the older ones such as Yining and Hezhen, already knew what it meant to be pregnant. They all looked at Lily's belly in awe and asked, "Second Aunt (Second Aunt), when will the new brother be born?" what?"

The younger ones still didn't understand, so the older ones taught them that "little babies are born from the mother's womb". Yining tried hard to recall the situation when his mother was pregnant with Yiyu, "Hold a watermelon in your arms, and the watermelon is ripe." It will become a little doll!"

Hanfang said "ah": "Then we eat so many watermelons, don't we have many little dolls telling us to eat them!"

Han Fang's words scared everyone to cry, the adults rushed to coax them one by one, Lily couldn't help laughing until her stomach ached, she simply tilted her body and fell on Song Haonian, when she was so happy, no one cared about her Incomplete etiquette.
