The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 140

At the end of May, King Jing's Mansion was going to hold a first-year banquet for the eldest grandson of the emperor, and Yanping Hou's Mansion received another invitation.

At that time, Ah Ju was in Xinlan Garden.Cancan already knows how to crawl now, she and Ning Shi sat on the same side, and teased her with Cancan's favorite big red hydrangea ball, while the ball was in Aju's hand, Cancan crawled towards her mother, the closer she got, the smaller The grin grew wider, her eyes widened, and when Aju rolled the hydrangea to Ning's side, Cancan screamed anxiously, slapped the kang with her little hands, turned over when she was angry, and continued to go to her grandmother's side, never tired of it.

"Grandma, Prince Jing's Mansion has sent you a post." Cuiyu walked in after Wenmei, gave Ning's blessing, and handed the exquisite post with red and gold in her hand to Aju.

Prince Jing's Mansion?
Ah Ju reached out to take it, counted the days, and said to Ning clearly: "In three days, it will be 29, and the eldest grandson of the emperor will be one year old."

Ning sighed softly: "The days go by so quickly...Look, Cancan saw the novelty and went towards you again."

My granddaughter likes red the most, and I must be curious when I saw the post today.

The daughter tried to crawl towards her, Ah Ju shook the post towards her with a smile, and quickly opened it to read it before her daughter came over. It was indeed for the emperor's grandson's first birthday.

Cancan has already crawled to the mother's side, reaching out to reach the post, her small mouth is open, revealing two small deciduous teeth inside.

Ah Ju bowed her head and kissed her daughter, and told her to sit down, she put the post into her daughter's hand, "This is called a post, it's for inviting people to visit, Cancan remember?"

Cancan giggled, held the post with both hands and brought it to her mouth, gnawed on the corner of the post with her two small teeth, drooling.Probably because she thought it was not tasty, she put the post in front of her body, and slowly lay down on her stomach. She wanted to open the post like a mother, but unfortunately her little hands were not so nimble, and she could only turn the post over after playing for a long time.After failing several times, the little guy lost his patience, grabbed the post and threw it forward like a joke, and happened to bump into the post.Cancan stared blankly, looked at her mother, then smiled happily, and crawled towards the post.

Ah Ju patted her daughter's little butt.

Ning remembered something, and asked Cuiyu: "The Rongshou Hall also got a post?
Cuiyu had been waiting for her master to ask her a long time ago, and she replied gloatingly: "No, Mrs. Tai also sent a maid over there after she got the letter, but the steward who delivered the post in the palace said, our Hou's mansion will invite grandma and eldest lady, Tell grandma to go early."

The joy on her face was so obvious that Ah Ju glared at her.

Cuiyu smiled and went out.

"Princess Wang is supporting you." Ning looked at her daughter-in-law with a smile, "Ahju is a good person and good fortune. Since Wangfei is so caring, Princess An must have thought of it too. Don't worry, don't worry about it. There is your aunt to take care of you over there."

Ah Ju nodded, and picked up her daughter who was lying on the post, "I am in the light of Cancan, and when the time comes, my mother will dress up Cancan beautifully to meet the nobleman, Cancan must be obedient, Don't play your temper with people anymore."

Cancan is having fun, ignoring mother.

Ah Ju pinched her little nose.

Fortunately, she has a lively and lovely daughter by her side, so she doesn't miss her husband all the time.She took good care of her daughter, and he was very happy when he came back to see their mother and daughter safe after the year.

After having lunch with Ning's, Ah Ju carried her daughter back to look at Zhuxuan. Compared with Xinlanyuan, Wangzhuxuan is cooler.Aju slept with her daughter for a short nap, and when she woke up, she called Madam Jiang and told her to prepare a gift from Prince Jing's Mansion.

Now that she is an official housekeeper, she was a little apprehensive when she first took over, but later found out that it is actually simple.The population in the Hou's Mansion is not large, father and two aunts live in secluded places and rarely show up. The three brothers and sister Zhao Qing have fixed quotas for their needs throughout the year.There was silence in Weifang Garden, and Rongshou Hall occasionally made some small troubles. Aju didn’t fight against Mrs. Tai, she would give what Mrs. Tai wanted, and she would report it to Zhao Yunting later. If Zhao Yunting felt that something was wrong, she would naturally follow Mrs. Tai is reasonable, if she doesn't care about it, it's all earned by Zhao Yunting anyway, and she has the right to honor the elderly.

No, Yingchun, the newly mentioned big maid next to Mrs. Tai, came back and said that a set of Ru kiln tea set in Mrs. Tai's room was accidentally broken by the maid.Ah Ju sent someone to the warehouse of the Hou Mansion to deliver a new set of past to Rong Shoutang. Mrs. Tai couldn't handle her in other matters, so she could only make a fuss about this kind of matter. Maybe she thought she was a village girl who couldn't bear that. nice one?
Aju wet the handkerchief with her own hands and went into the house to wipe her daughter's face.

She doesn't care about the family property accumulated by the ancestors of the Zhao family and Zhao Yunting. She believes that Zhao Chen will be able to raise Cancan and the future children by himself.

Because Princess Jing told them to arrive early, soon after breakfast that day, Aju went out with her daughter in her arms, and the maid brought Cuiyu and Ruyi, and even more nurses than last time.When they arrived at the palace, Concubine Jing still arranged a sedan chair, and directly carried the two of them to the front of the concubine's bedroom.

Concubine Jing didn't have any guests yet, and when she saw Ah Ju leading her daughter in, she smiled and dismissed Ah Ju's gift, and then asked the wet nurse to bring Cancan over, "The longer Cancan looks, the better, give me a hug." Okay ah?"

The child has been born for seven or eight months, Cancan is lively and active, not very serious, but it is the first time to come to such a gorgeous dormitory, the little guy's eyesight is not enough, turning his head to look around, he heard Princess Jing Calling her, she turned her head, looked at Princess Jing with wide eyes, and shyly leaned on the wet nurse's shoulder.

Aju smiled apologetically: "Cancan confessed his life, which made the princess laugh."

Concubine Jing liked Cancan quite a lot, she looked at the little girl and said to Ah Ju: "Cancan, this is not called admitting life, you see she has already smiled at me, she is much better than Brother Fu." Cancan stretched out her hand, her voice was softer, "Cancan give me a hug?"

When she lowered her head, the ruby ​​earrings hanging under her earlobes swayed slightly.

Cancan held her fingers to look at her earrings, and unconsciously leaned forward.

Concubine Jing smiled happily, took Cancan over, and said in surprise: "Cancan weighs twenty catties, right? It's quite heavy!"

"I weighed it the day before yesterday, and it weighed two or two or twenty catties. The princess should put her down quickly. Cancan is very naughty and likes to grab jewelry. Before her aunt comes over, she has to take off her earrings." Ah Ju was nervous. He stared at his daughter's little hand, for fear that she would offend Princess Jing.

Concubine Jing also knew that children like to grab things, so she put Cancan on the couch with a smile without forcing it.Seeing that the little girl was still looking up at her earrings after putting them away, Princess Jing took out the gift she had prepared a long time ago and showed it to her in the palm of her hand: "I heard that Cancan likes that fox lantern very much, do you like this one? "

But it is a red jade fox pendant, the color is well-proportioned, the jade is clear and lustrous, more brilliant than the red string that is tied to it.

Cancan stared at her with wide eyes and opened her small mouth, obviously liking it very much.

Ah Ju hastily declined: "Wangfei is too precious, she is a child..."

Concubine Jing shook her head, and put the pendant on Cancan's neck herself, "I fall in love with Cancan, so don't refuse, you see how much Cancan likes it."

Cancan really likes it very much, sitting there obediently, playing with the jade fox in both hands, stuffing the jade pendant into her mouth after playing for a while, and gnawing on it with her small teeth.Ah Ju tapped her daughter's little hand and told her: "You are only allowed to gnaw, but not to stuff it in your mouth, you understand?"

Cancan grinned.

Princess Jing ordered the nanny beside her to bring the eldest grandson over, and then explained to Ah Ju: "Brother Fu doesn't like to laugh, and he doesn't like to play with the nurse's two boys. Human habits. Last time when Cancan was full moon, I saw that Brother Fu seemed to like Cancan quite a lot. Let’s see if the two of them hit it off today. the child, isn't it?"

Aju touched her daughter's head and said with a smile: "Yes, my aunt gave birth to a daughter, but unfortunately her family is in Dengzhou. It is her blessing that the princess likes Cancan, but Cancan is born with a big temper. I am afraid that she will bully the emperor. Eldest grandson, I have let down the kindness of the princess."

She doesn't want to get too close to Prince Jing's mansion. Firstly, the fact of King Rui scares her, worrying that she will accidentally cause trouble to Zhao Chen. Secondly, her daughter has a big temper. She is the little ancestor at home, and everyone will let her go. , When I got here, I really accidentally scratched or was bullied by the emperor's eldest grandson. She couldn't afford to offend her and was afraid that her daughter would be wronged.

"Cancan is so bad?" Concubine Jing looked at the doll in front of her incredulously, just as the nanny brought the eldest grandson over, she greeted her with a smile and took her son into her arms, pointing at Cancan and said, "Fu Brother, this is sister Cancan, do you remember? Last year we went to see her at my sister's house."

Fu Geer, who is one year old, has fine eyebrows and big dark eyes. He probably saw a stranger. He pursed his lips a little bit in recognition, but kept staring at Cancan.Cancan also saw Brother Fu, she didn't remember what happened at the full moon, the first time she saw a child about her own age, she forgot the jade fox on her neck in novelty, grabbed the little foot with one hand, and couldn't blink He blinked at Fu Geer.

Princess Jing put Fu Geer beside Cancan and taught him to call her sister.

Ah Ju asked enviously: "Is the eldest grandson of the emperor already able to speak?"

Concubine Jing explained with some helplessness: "I can say a few words, but I don't like to say them. Except for me, I will only obediently shout when I see his father and grandfather, and I can only coax him to shout once. How many times?" He became impatient, and with a sullen face he ignored no one, I really don't know who this strange temper can go with."

"The eldest grandson of the emperor is smart." Ah Ju boasted sincerely, and looked at the eldest grandson a few more times.It is said that the emperor likes this only grandson very much. He was sealed as the son of the royal family not long after the full moon, and he will meet several times a month. He loves him even more than Princess Jiarou when he was a child.

The emperor didn't have many heirs, one of the five princes died young, and the only princess was Princess Jiarou, who was born to Concubine Shu. She was only nine years old this year and was the jewel in the emperor's palm.

Princess Jing smiled and shook her head, continuing to teach her son to call her sister.

Fu Geer sat across from Cancan, closely watching Cancan's every move. Cancan no longer looked at him, and continued to play with the jade fox.Seeing that his little friend ignored him, Fu Geer pulled out the jade pendant hanging around his neck, looked down, and handed it to Cancan.

His jade pendant was rewarded by the emperor, and the best mutton fat jade must be better than the one given to Cancan by Princess Jing.

But Cancan didn't like Baiyu, so after taking a look at it, she went to play with her own red fox again.

Fu Geer looked up at his mother, took off the jade pendant and handed it to his sister.

Being interrupted many times, Cancan became upset, turned her head to look, and crawled into the couch.

"Sister..." Fu Ge'er stood up unsteadily, and quickly caught up with his sister.

Cancan seemed very surprised that Fu Geer would leave, stared at him for a while, then suddenly raised her hand and pushed Fu Geer's leg.Fu Ge'er was still walking unsteadily, so he fell down on the couch after being pushed like this, Cancan smiled happily, rolled over, and crawled towards his mother with his mouth grinning, his big eyes bent into moons.

Ah Ju couldn't laugh, and when Fu Geer fell down, her heart rose, for fear that Fu Geer's crying would upset Princess Jing.

Brother Fu didn't cry, but threw out the jade pendant in his hand, slowly stood up and walked to the mother concubine, pointing to the inner hall and shouting: "Yes, yes..."

Princess Jing didn't understand what her son wanted, so she signaled Ah Ju to sit down first, and she carried her son to the inner hall.

After the little friend left, Cancan raised her head from her mother's arms and looked over there. After Princess Jing and her son entered, she also reached out to the inner hall.

Ah Ju kissed her daughter, and said in a low voice: "You didn't like playing with you, but now you want to see him after he's gone." He didn't take her there.

Cancan was in a hurry, straightened up and wanted to go, of course Aju couldn't carry her daughter over, patted her to coax her, when the stalemate, the bead curtain sounded, Jing Wangfei came out holding Fu Geer, "Look at Fu Brother took something good, this kid knows how to coax my sister."

Ah Ju looked back in surprise, and saw Fu Geer holding a string of ruby ​​bracelets in his hand, which looked like a bunch of bright red cherries.

Cancan's eyes widened even more, and she excitedly talked to Fu Geer, using words only she understood.

Fu Ge'er probably understood too, and passed the bracelet while still in his mother's arms, calling for sister, jumping word by word.

Ah Ju dared not let her daughter accept such an expensive gift, but Princess Jing blocked her refusal first: "This is a gift from Brother Fu to Cancan, you and I can't make the decision, let's see if Cancan likes it or not."

How could Cancan not like it?Smiling so much that his saliva flowed out, he immediately abandoned the fox and played with the bracelet instead after returning to the couch.

Fu Geer was also very happy with the present. He lowered his head and touched his younger sister's little feet. After touching his little feet, he looked up at his younger sister. Seeing that his younger sister was not hiding, he smiled, showing a few baby teeth.
