Chapter 715: The 4th Prince Feeds Nangong Xuanyu a Wooden Sculpture
Before, everyone in the palace thought that His Majesty was greedy for novelty and became obsessed with Concubine Chun, thus forgetting about Concubine Chen.
I never thought that only half a month had passed and His Majesty had become so warm to Concubine Chen again.
After all, Concubine Chun was the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions, and everyone had seen her stunning dance during the palace banquet on New Year's Eve.
They didn't believe that Concubine Chun would be willing to be defeated by Concubine Chen.
Everyone is looking forward to it. What means will she use to win favor?
Regardless of whether Concubine Chun is a match for Concubine Chen, they can always gain some benefits from the conflict between the two.
Zhongcui Palace.
Seeing the emperor coming, the palace servants all knelt down and saluted respectfully: "Your servants/servants pay homage to His Majesty, long live His Majesty!"
Shen Zhinian was waiting at the door of the main hall.
However, before she could finish her blessing, Nangong Xuanyu took her hand, said "No need for formalities", and strode inside.
Concubine Sun was standing at the door of the side hall, watching this scene from afar and secretly rolling her eyes.
Your Majesty, didn’t you forget about Sister Guifei Chen some days ago?
During that half month, she went to keep her sister, Concubine Chen, company every day, without His Majesty to disturb her. She felt so happy.
Now, His Majesty is always going to Zhongcui Palace again...
Concubine Sun touched her belly with one hand and supported her waist with the other, and said to Zhu'er, "Help me in."
It seems that today, she has to wait until His Majesty leaves before she can go to the main hall to play with Concubine Chen.
How annoying!
Zhu'er helped Concubine Sun into the inner room.
After she sat down, Zhuer went out and brought in a bowl of hot medicine.
"My lady, this is the prescription that Doctor Tang wrote for you two days ago to help you recover. Please drink it while it's hot."
Concubine Sun smelled the medicine and frowned: "I'm already taking the medicine to keep my pregnancy going, do I have to drink this too?"
Zhu Er said, "Not really."
"Imperial Doctor Tang said that this is for conditioning the body and has a nourishing effect. You can drink it or not."
Concubine Sun waved her hand and said, "I feel like vomiting when I smell these medicines. Since you don't have to drink them, just take them away."
Zhu'er responded "yes" and handed the bowl of medicine to the little palace maid below.
Concubine Sun sat by the window, looking towards the main hall, and sighed secretly.
Alas... When will Your Majesty leave?
……
Main hall.
The floor was covered with a soft and comfortable carpet, and the wet nurse placed the Fourth Prince on it according to Shen Zhinian's instructions.
Nangong Xuanyu looked at him and asked curiously, "Why is Ah Xu on the ground?"
Shen Zhinian glared at him and said, "Your Majesty hasn't been here for so long, so of course you don't know. Ah Xu can already sit steadily by himself, and can even turn left and right."
"If he holds on to something, he can stand up on his own for a while, and he can even crawl occasionally."
"So I specially had someone lay a carpet on the ground to train Ah Xu's crawling ability."
Nangong Xuanyu shook his head helplessly: "I haven't been here for only half a month, why does Nian Nian say that I haven't set foot in Zhongcui Palace for a year or so?"
Shen Zhinian turned and looked at Nangong Xuanyu: "I just don't want Your Majesty to miss every moment of Ah Xu's growth."
These words made Nangong Xuanyu's heart soften.
They are a family of 3. He personally took care of Ah Xu when he was born, and now of course he has to watch Ah Xu grow up little by little.
Nangong Xuanyu stepped forward, picked up the fourth prince, and looked at him tenderly: "A Xu, do you still remember father?"
"You are the first person in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty who dares to pee on the dragon robe."
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere in the inner room was too good. When Handan and Fuqiu heard this, they couldn't help but lower their heads and smile gently.
Of course not! Their fourth prince has been very courageous since he was young.
The Fourth Prince looked at Nangong Xuanyu and smiled so hard that his gums were exposed.
He waved his chubby little hands, seeming very excited, and then stuffed something in his hand into Nangong Xuanyu's mouth.
Shen Zhinian almost couldn't help laughing out loud!
This wooden sculpture of a kitten the size of a baby's palm is one of Ah Xu's favorite toys.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Nangong Xuanyu, smiling and said, "It seems that Ah Xu not only remembers his father, but also likes you very much. He even wants to give you his favorite toy to eat."
"Your Majesty, please do not let Ah Xu down, otherwise our little Ah Xu will be sad."
Nangong Xuanyu took the kitten wood carving from the Fourth Prince's hand and looked at Shen Zhinian helplessly: "You, you are getting more and more outrageous."
"Ah Xu must have learned bad things from you."
When the emperor said this, there was no trace of blame in his tone, only full of doting.
Shen Zhinian snorted softly: "Your Majesty, haven't you always been worried that Ah Xu has forgotten you? Now that he is so good to you, not only are you not satisfied, but you are blaming me instead?"
Nangong Xuanyu held the Fourth Prince in his arms, sat down on the couch by the window, and shook his head at Shen Zhinian: "I can't argue with you anyway."
Then, he held up the wooden sculpture of a kitten and waved it in front of the Fourth Prince: "You can't feed everything to your father, understand?"
The Fourth Prince didn't understand what he said and was just babbling. He seemed very happy because he was being held by his father.
Nanny Lin smiled and said, "This wooden sculpture of a kitten is the fourth prince's favorite toy. If someone touches it, he will cry for a long time."
"But today, the Fourth Prince is willing to take the initiative to give it to Your Majesty. It is clear that he will be a filial child when he grows up."
Nangong Xuanyu felt warm at heart after hearing this, and gently rubbed the Fourth Prince's cheek with his fingers: "It's not in vain that I love you so much."
At this time, Yuan Bao walked in from outside and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time for lunch. Should we ask the people below to serve the food?"
Nangong Xuanyu handed the fourth prince to the wet nurse and returned his wooden sculpture of a kitten to him. Then he took Shen Zhinian by the hand and walked towards the Eight Immortals Table: "Serve the meal."
It had been a long time since he had lunch in Zhongcui Palace and enjoyed such a happy family scene.
"Yes!"
Soon, one delicious dish after another was placed on the eight-immortal table.
Shen Zhinian first filled a bowl of black chicken soup, stretched out her delicate hand, and handed it to Nangong Xuanyu: "Your Majesty, have a taste."
Having just experienced a cold war that lasted for half a month, Nangong Xuanyu was very pleased to see Nian Nian being gentle and considerate.
But... he had just taken a sip when a strange smell suddenly came from the side...
The poop of babies who are breastfeeding is smelly and usually has no odor.
The fourth prince is already more than seven months old, and the nurse adds some complementary food to his food every day. The poop he poops out now has a stronger smell than when he was just drinking milk.
Babies will poop whenever they are told to, and they don't care whether their father or mother is having a meal.
The nurse was a little terrified, and lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will carry the Fourth Prince out right away!"
