Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress - E 32 Mingzhu is pregnant
In the Prince’s Mansion of Qingluo Kingdom
Crown Princess Nangong Mingzhu sat in front of the dressing table, looked at the man in the bronze mirror, and said angrily: “Chao, the censor just impeached you yesterday. Even if your father, the emperor, and the empress do not blame you, you should restrain yourself. From now on, I’d better let my servants do the combing of my hair. ”
At this time, Prince Wan Yanchao was holding an ox bone comb in his hand and was combing his beloved wife’s waterfall-like hair. This was the most common thing he did after marrying her, and it was also what he did. One of my greatest hobbies.
Hearing what his beloved wife said, the prince said nonchalantly: “Ignore him, those old boys who talk about benevolence, justice and morality pretend to be saints on the surface, but in fact they have three wives and four concubines, full of male thieves and female prostitutes, just for their husbands.” They only combed their daughter-in-law’s hair, and then they started nagging them with admonitions and impeachments, as if they were too clean. If they offended me, I would tell them all the dirty things they did tomorrow. Shake it out and let everyone see their true colors. Only then will they recognize this prince!”
As he spoke, his hands did not stop. He combed Mingzhu’s hair smoothly, picked out a purple jade hairpin from her makeup box, and pulled up the top lock of hair. It was formed into a loose bun, with most of the lower part still hanging loose, hanging softly on the shoulders, like a piece of smooth black satin, very beautiful.
He likes Mingzhu’s simple dress. In his opinion, Mingzhu is the most beautiful in the world. Any ornaments worn on her head will not increase her beauty, but will be eclipsed by her bright and gorgeous face. , so he simply didn’t let her have her hair full of pearls, let alone put on makeup. Every day after getting up early, he would help her wash and dress up, and then look at her obsessively for a while before going to court.
After combing Mingzhu’s hair, he ordered the maid to take out a set of bright yellow dresses for her to put on. Seeing that she was dressed like a fairy who was spotless, he wondered for a while before going to court with confidence. .
At this time, Mingzhu was already more than a month pregnant. Empress Dowager Namuhan and Empress Wu were overjoyed by this. They had issued an order to exempt her from morning and dusk examinations, and even sent several medical ladies to take care of her. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often visit Mingzhu together and take care of her food and daily life.
Empress Wu gave birth to five sons in a row, but never gave birth to a daughter. This incident became her biggest regret in her life. When Mingzhu married, she loved Mingzhu as her own daughter to make up for her failure to give birth to a daughter in this life. Daughter’s regret.
Before Mingzhu got married, she heard her mother-in-law talk about her mother-in-law. She heard that her mother-in-law was from Jin Dynasty and the daughter of the Marquis of Jian’an. Later, by chance, she married the prince of Qingluo Kingdom. Later she became the Queen of Qingluo Kingdom.
It is said that the father-in-law treats his mother-in-law very well, just like a father treats his mother and his queen. They have lived together for half their lives. As the king of a country, his father-in-law does not even have a concubine, let alone a concubine, not even other women. He didn’t even touch the corner of his clothes, which shows that his love for his mother-in-law is not ordinary deep.
She envied the love between her father-in-law and mother-in-law that could stand the test of time. She was also curious about why her mother-in-law was not as beautiful as her mother and queen, nor did she have the ability to move mountains and reclaim seas, but she was able to win her father-in-law’s. What about pampering?
After she married Dao Qingluo, she gradually understood that there is a kind of love that has nothing to do with appearance, wealth, ability, or even age, just like the way a father-in-law loves his mother-in-law.
In the eyes of the father-in-law, everything about the mother-in-law is the best and most in line with his aesthetic standards and requirements. Even the laziness and confusion of the mother-in-law are cute, real and more elaborate than a royal family like her. The trained royal ladies are a hundred times stronger!
Perhaps, this is the legendary true love!
Mingzhu envied the relationship between her father-in-law and her mother-in-law, but she never told Wanyan Chao that she did not need the love brought by kidnapping. If Wanyan Chao loved her, even if she didn’t say it, he would love her mother-in-law just like her father-in-law. Just like that, I will love her forever. Even if she said it, who can guarantee that he will not change his mind throughout his life after so many years?
Therefore, she never asked him to be loyal to her all her life like her father or father-in-law. However, she was influenced by her mother’s thoughts since childhood and was very independent in her heart. If her man could not be loyal to her, no matter what time, even She is already in her old age and her steps are faltering, and she will never stay by his side and tolerate him!
“Princess, this is today’s breakfast plan, please make your decision.”
The cook in charge of the Prince’s kitchen came over to ask for instructions on the arrangements for breakfast.
Every morning, Wanyanchao would rush back to have breakfast with Mingzhu after going to court. He is not picky about food, but Mingzhu has been accustomed to eating vegetables, fish, shrimps and fruits in the space since she was a child. Now when she suddenly eats food from outside, whether it is delicacies from the mountains and seas, or hericium and bird’s nest, she really finds it difficult to swallow.
Therefore, she had to put some thought into every meal, trying to pick out some of her favorite foods and ask the kitchen to cook them. She didn’t care, but the child in her belly couldn’t do it. If he didn’t eat well, he would be harmful to the child in his belly. influential.
Mingzhu took the menu and looked at it. She saw that there were fish and meat on the menu. She felt nauseous. She frowned and said, “Let’s just skip these fish and meat. I ate them last time.” The wontons with the little lotus leaves and little lotus pods are better.”
When the kitchen heard this, he hurried back to the kitchen, ordered the handyman to bring some old hens, and then sent someone to find the four soup molds in the storehouse, and hurriedly made soup noodles for the Crown Princess.
The kitchen is busy and no one dares to slack off. Everyone knows that the Crown Princess they are serving is Jin Guizhu. She is not only the only princess of the Jin Dynasty, but also the eyeball and lifeblood of the Crown Prince. , even the Queen Mother and Queen Mother treated her as their darling and loved her!
If they serve her well, they will naturally receive endless rewards and their future will be bright. But if they serve her poorly and the Crown Princess loses weight, or cannot eat, or loses her appetite, they will at least get a slap in the face. If you are kicked out of the house, your life may be in danger!
The lotus leaf soup that Mingzhu ordered was not a valuable thing, but it was more complicated and troublesome. While the kitchen was busy working in full swing, two uninvited guests suddenly came to the house. They turned out to be the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother of the Jin Dynasty!
When Mingzhu first saw her parents who had been separated for several months, she was as excited as a child. She didn’t even care about her pregnancy. She ran over, threw herself into her parents’ arms and choked up.
“Father and mother, why are you here… My daughter misses you so much…”
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. Look at you, you are almost a mother, and you still act like a child. You are not afraid of other people’s jokes!”
Caiwei hugged her whimpering daughter and comforted her, but her heart was sour. Although her daughter seemed to be in great spirits, and it was obvious at a glance that her life was very pleasant, but after being apart for several months, she finally saw her. When I meet my daughter, and even a pregnant daughter, I can’t help but feel emotional in my heart.
The daughter who used to be the daughter of Chenghuan every day has now become someone else’s daughter-in-law. She also has to give birth to children and carry on the family line. As a mother, some sadness is inevitable.
Nangong Yi was always partial to his daughter. When he saw his daughter looking aggrieved and excited, he immediately straightened his face and said majestically: “Zhu’er, why are you crying? But that boy Wan Yanchao bullied you? What if? If so, you must tell Father truthfully, and Father will take care of him for you!”
Mingzhu leaned in her mother’s arms, sniffed, and said softly: “No, Father, Chao is very good to me. Even the censor impeached him.”
“Your Majesty, you have wronged the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince himself combs the Crown Princess’s hair every morning. Because of this, the imperial censor impeached him yesterday!”
Chunliu put in good words for Wanyanchao. As a dowry, their family accompanied Mingzhu to Qingluo Kingdom and settled down here.
Today’s Chunliu is no longer the little palace maid who follows Caiwei, nor is she the little girl in Qingyun Town who was sold with a straw tag, but the most prestigious housekeeper in the prince’s house, and Zhu’er is also Suddenly they became the great housekeepers of the Prince’s Mansion. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were responsible for taking care of Wanyanchao’s village in the suburbs. They also took care of Chunliu and Zhuer’s children there. They lived a prosperous and comfortable life, and every day. My life was like a fairy.
“The Queen Mother, the Crown Prince just barely had to support the Crown Princess. To describe it as ‘hold it in your hand for fear of falling, hold it in your mouth for fear of melting’, it’s not an exaggeration at all. How dare you bully the Crown Prince?” Where is the concubine?” Chunliu continued to appeal for Wan Yanchao.
Caiwei and Nangong Yi were relieved when they heard that Chaoer was so kind to Mingzhu.
Nangong Yi patted his daughter’s head and said softly: “My good child, stop crying. You are pregnant. Be careful not to harm the child.”
Mingzhu also cried out of excitement. She was not sad or sad. After her father persuaded her, she held back her tears and said with a smile through her tears: “Yeah, okay, don’t cry anymore. Father and Queen, you haven’t eaten yet, right?” , come, let’s have breakfast together.”
Nangong Yi and Caiwei had indeed not had breakfast. When they heard their daughter’s invitation, they both readily agreed. They washed their hands and sat at the dining table with their daughter, talking while waiting for breakfast to be served.
Mingzhu talked about some things that happened after she got married, and then asked about some things in the capital of Jin Dynasty. She said some emotional points, which inevitably made her sigh at times.
Not long after, the kitchen brought the lotus leaf soup and added a few Dajin-flavored side dishes that Mingzhu loved.
Caiwei glanced at the bowl and said with a smile: “I didn’t expect people from Qingluo Kingdom to be so good at eating. They could make such small and exquisite wontons. Let me try one.”
When she scooped one up with a spoon and tasted it in her mouth, she immediately felt the fragrance of lotus leaves in her mouth, as well as the fragrance of chicken soup. It was fragrant but not greasy, and it was delicious.
“Well, not bad!” She praised. Nangong Yi heard this and took one out with a spoon. After tasting it, he praised it again and again: “It’s really good. How is this wrapped? Let’s learn from it later. When we want to eat it, Yes, I can bring it to you at any time.”
Mingzhu said: “It’s not a bag, it’s because I had morning sickness when I was pregnant and couldn’t eat anything. An old cook in the Queen Mother’s Palace came up with the idea and made a few noodle molds to print it out. In fact, it’s not much.” The delicious food is all about the exquisite wontons, which look appetizing, and the soup is good, so I think it tastes good.”
After that, he ordered people to get those molds.
Wei heard that Mingzhu once suffered from morning sickness, and said distressedly: “Why don’t you contact the turtle with your mind and ask him what to eat when he has morning sickness? Do you need to take miscarriage? Why do you feel so uncomfortable in silence? ?”
Mingzhu said: “My reaction wasn’t serious. It was just that it was too hot in those days, so I had a bit of heat stroke. It’s not a big deal. I’ll be fine soon.”
Nangong Yi said: “Anyway, you should have told us. You can even activate the mind of an unrelated Xiao family. Why do you hesitate when you get here?”
Mentioning the Xiao family, Mingzhu couldn’t help but curiously asked: “Did the father, the queen and the queen go to save that Xiao family? How is she doing now?”
Caiwei said: “With the Great Turtle around, her life is naturally safe. Her ribs have almost grown, and her broken legs have been reattached. They will grow back in a month or two. Then, practice for a while.” Time will be free to move around.”
“What about her face? Can it return to its original appearance?”
When asking this question, Mingzhu suddenly remembered the terrifying look when she first met Ms. Xiao, with the flesh on her face turned out, revealing her white cheekbones!
“The wound on her face has been stitched up, but the scar is too deep. It will take some time to completely remove it. Turtle Goddess said that if I want her to completely recover, I’m afraid it will take a year!”
When Caiwei said this, the servants had already brought up four sets of molds for making lotus leaf soup. Mingzhu said, “Since your father, the Queen, and your mother like to eat this lotus leaf soup, please bring these molds back. I will Just ask them to fight again.”
After saying that, he ordered the people below to immediately create a few more molds like this.
When Caiwei took the mold and looked at it, it turned out to be a small red box carved with lacquer. Inside, there were four sets of silver molds, each more than a foot long and an inch square, with patterns the size of beans chiseled on them, including plum blossoms, lotus pods, and There are thirty or forty kinds of water chestnuts in total, and they are very delicately made.
Yin Xiang Mingzhu solemnly said: “For your food, you have to go through so much trouble. You should respect your elders well, don’t be arrogant, let alone live up to their love for you.”
Mingzhu smiled and said: “Don’t worry, Queen, my daughter will definitely be a good wife.”
Just as he was saying this, Wanyan came back after a break. When he saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law falling from the sky, he hurriedly came forward to salute, and hurriedly ordered people to inform his father and mother that they would receive his father-in-law and mother-in-law ceremoniously.
Caiwei said with a smile: “There is no need to alarm others. We have nothing to do. We just come to your house for a walk and will leave in a while. Mingzhu is pregnant. We will come at any time in the future. If we all make such a big fuss, how can we do it?” Aren’t you going to tire out your father, the queen, and your queen?”
Wanyan Chao said: “It’s rare for our father, emperor and mother to come here, why not stay a few more days before leaving. We have to leave in such a hurry, but what important things do we need to do?”
Caiwei said: “It’s not troublesome for us to come and go, it just takes a day’s work. It’s not a big deal to leave today. It’s just that the Xiao family we rescued last time has been depressed and misses her.” Dayong’s daughter, we are both parents, and we couldn’t bear to see her suffering so much, so we took her back to Dayong to have a look and reassure her.”
During this period of time, Mrs. Xiao’s injuries recovered very well, but she was too preoccupied and often depressed. She would cry secretly alone. The old turtle told Caiwei about her situation, and Caiwei only found out after asking several times. , it turns out that Mrs. Xiao has been thinking about her daughter.
Her daughter was Princess Chu who married into Prince Chu’s Mansion in place of Concubine Li De. Mrs. Xiao had heard about her daughter’s experience in Prince Chu’s Mansion before she was injured. It was Princess Gaoyang who specifically revealed it to her in order to stimulate her. ’
It is said that his daughter was exposed as a fake on the night of her wedding. The king of Chu drove her to an abandoned courtyard in anger and burned all her dowry. Although he did not kill her immediately, However, judging from the appearance of Prince Chu’s palace, there is a high probability that his daughter will not be allowed to live for too long.
She only has one daughter, who looks like her eyes have grown so big, and her daughter is timid and cowardly. How can she withstand their abuse? I’m afraid that by the time her injury heals, her daughter will also be tortured to death. If that were the case, what would she still be doing alive?
As both parents, Caiwei understood Xiao’s mood very well, so she agreed to go to Dayong to visit her daughter when she went to visit Mingzhu.
After hearing the news, Mrs. Xiao cheered up again.
The flying speed of the condor is faster than that of the white-haired tiger. Caiwei and his wife rode on the back of the condor and flew to Dayong Kingdom in just one day.
When we arrived at Prince Chu’s Mansion, it was already dark. The parrot searched around with his clairvoyance but couldn’t find Mrs. Xiao’s daughter.
It stands to reason that as long as the person is alive or has no disguise, the parrot will definitely be able to find it. However, the parrot searched for a long time and couldn’t find it. It screamed and said: “Master, I didn’t find the person you were looking for. She is either dead or disguised.”
Xiao’s daughter is a boudoir girl with no power, no martial arts skills, and no complicated social relationships. She will never be able to disguise herself. Therefore, there is only one possibility: she is already dead.
