Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 152

Shen Ruyi looked at Nanny Ding, one hand twirled the jade bracelet on the other wrist, Nanny Ding was a little nervous, and moved her body slightly, but when she met Shen Ruyi's eyes, she froze immediately, not daring to No more action.

After a long while, when Nanny Ding felt that her legs were starting to tremble, Shen Ruyi said, "Mommy, you have been with me for several years, haven't you?"

Nanny Ding nodded with a busy smile: "The princess has a good memory. The servants followed the princess to serve the princess one year before she got married. Now that the little princes are born, it has been almost three years."

"Yes, I even gave birth to a child, and Mammy has been with me for three years." Shen Ruyi said with a smile: "Back then, the empress asked Mammy to come over to teach me how to behave. It's over."

She has attended palace banquets several times, even the royal ancestor worship, and no one has ever said that she has bad manners.

Nanny Ding nodded with a smile: "Yes, the princess's manners couldn't be better. The slave said that the princess was seen by the slaves, and she is a rare smart person. Now the rules and etiquette of the princess are impeccable. , the servant girl thought, serving the young prince can be regarded as contributing to the princess, and the servant girl can't do nothing and just eat and drink for free in the palace."

Shen Ruyi was still smiling, ever since she was confinement and Nanny Ding was able to see her, she kept bringing this up.She was a nanny, so she didn't have the guts to discuss with her master what kind of work she was going to do.But behind her, standing is the queen.Shen Ruyi is not easy to deal with, and the sixth prince is even more difficult to win over, but what the couple value most is the newborn son. If this child is kept under their noses, are they afraid that nothing will threaten them? ?

Mammy's back straightened up again, and she was sure that Shen Ruyi would not be able to refuse her request.Unlike the First Prince Concubine and the others, the First Prince Concubine has a mother and concubine. After giving birth to a son, she also has her own concubine to reward the nanny. The sixth prince's mother and concubine passed away early, and only the queen can reward the nanny.

Whether it is the little grandson or the granddaughter of the emperor, after birth, there are educated mothers around her.The source of this nurturing nun is also different, but it can be counted, there are no more than two types, some are the nuns around the prince and concubine, and some are sent by the palace.

In other words, Shen Ruyi could either ask for another one from the palace, or choose one from herself.The nuns beside her are only Nanny Lu and Nanny Ding. In terms of background, if Shen Ruyi is smart, she should know which one to choose.

Nanny Ding was about to continue talking, but Shen Ruyi just nodded, waved her hand to let Nanny Ding go down, and didn't say anything else.

The sixth prince came in from the outside, and stood in front of the charcoal basin to warm his hands and smoke his clothes before he stepped forward and hugged his familiar son, "Did he make a fuss today? What do you think?" ?”

Shen Ruyi couldn't help laughing: "I'm already confinement, and my body is naturally well-raised. Didn't the imperial doctor say that there is nothing wrong now, and is it even better than before? This kid is still with me. Same as before, eat, eat, sleep, and howl twice if you sleep too much."

The two first-time parents held their youngest son like they were holding a rare treasure, for fear that they would accidentally drop it.Even if Shen Ruyi has the experience of leading Shen Minghe, it is not enough at this moment.As soon as the child cried, the sixth prince hurried to find the imperial physician. The imperial physician was speechless, and finally only said that it was good for the child to cry twice, and the sixth prince calmed down.

"Tomorrow is the fifteenth day, I have to enter the palace to pay my respects, I thought, taking advantage of this time entering the palace, I will settle the matter of Madam Ding." Shen Ruyi said with a smile, and the sixth prince frowned slightly: "Are you sure? ?”

Shen Ruyi shook her head: "I'm not even half sure. Maybe it will be more troublesome, but I can't solve it. Father is waiting for Master Huixin this time. Who can guarantee that it will be fine next time? Although Ding Mama usually I don't want to be strong, but after all, the person sent by the queen mother, I'm not saying that I will solve Nanny Ding, just find another way for Nanny Ding."

The sixth prince nodded: "Since you have an idea, then do it according to your plan, don't worry, if it really doesn't work, go to the emperor's grandmother, I will go and talk to the emperor's grandmother."

The sixth prince, mother and concubine died early, and he was not in good health at a young age. Although the empress looked after him from time to time, but the empress was in charge of such a huge palace, why did she keep staring at a frail and sick prince?So, at that time, thanks to the sixth prince's own cleverness, he often went to hang out in front of the empress dowager, which made the empress dowager feel distressed, and this feeling was slowly cultivated.

Originally, when he was young, the emperor was not very close to him. Think about it, the emperor has more than a dozen sons, and a dozen daughters. to him?

It was the empress dowager who played the role, so the emperor slightly diverted his attention from the sixth prince.Soon, this clever and transparent son won the favor of the emperor, and the sixth prince began to be favored.

"The emperor's grandmother is getting old and her health is not very good. I don't need to bother her for such a trivial matter. If it doesn't work, we will keep Nanny Ding. Anyway, she is just a nanny. Since it is a gift from the queen mother , we can't be negligent, I'll find a little maid to take care of Mother Ding."

Shen Ruyi said nonchalantly, and the sixth prince couldn't help laughing: "This is a good idea, otherwise, would you really serve Ding Momo?"

"This method can only be used when there is no other way." Shen Ruyi waved her hand: "Now the queen mother is getting more and more anxious, and the third bedroom wants to let Nanny Ding do things. If we really confess people, we will It's too conspicuous, and it's obvious that you are going to confront the queen mother. You can't drive him away, and you can't confess, so you can only keep him by your side first, which is already very good. By the way, don't you say you want to resign Is it? But it's already decided?"

"I've made a decision, but I can't find a good time." The sixth prince sighed, and Shen Ruyi also sighed. It's really hard to say this, forget it, anyway, the emperor's life expectancy is still several years away, and then Hold on.

However, speaking of it, the Empress Dowager is not too young... Amitabha, it's a sin, it's too wrong to think of elders like this.The empress dowager has been pampered and pampered for many years. Compared with the emperor, who is so exhausted every day, her health is naturally much better.

Thinking about it, Shen Ruyi was a little worried: "No matter how good the emperor's grandmother is, she will be seventy this year, right?"

The face of the sixth prince also changed, and then he forced a smile and said: "The imperial grandmother is in good health. Master Huixin also helped the imperial grandmother to feel the pulse before, and the imperial grandmother is fine." But immediately, the husband and wife kept silent. The empress dowager's body.No matter how good the health is, the empress dowager is over 70, a rare longevity.As the saying goes, 73, 84, the king of Hades doesn't tell me to go, and there are many old people who have fallen asleep.

This kind of thing can be regarded as happy and mourning, and the juniors like them shouldn't be too sad.But it's not sad to say it, but when the real thing comes to an end, it will definitely be unbearable.

When Shen Ruyi got up early in the morning, the sixth prince had already gone to court.After wrapping up the younger son tightly, Shen Ruyi also entered the palace in a carriage.Let's go to the Empress Dowager's palace first to pay her respects. The Empress Dowager is a little out of spirits, but she is very happy to see her great-grandson.

Shen Ruyi simply left her first son behind, and went to the queen's side to pay her respects.It was the fifteenth day, and several princes and concubines were there.Shen Ruyi went in, saluted one by one, and then sat in her seat.

As usual, the queen picks a topic, everyone discusses it, and then today's greeting is considered over.Sometimes, the queen would leave her own daughter-in-law to say a few words, but today there was probably nothing to do, so she didn't keep anyone else.

After Shen Ruyi stood up, it was Xiangu who saluted: "Mother, my daughter-in-law has something else to ask my mother."

The first concubine looked back, but she had already offered her farewell before, and the queen didn't keep anyone at this moment, so she could only go out slowly.On the contrary, the Seventh Prince's concubine rolled her eyes, and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law Six, what do you want to ask your mother for? Can I hear it?"

Shen Ruyi didn't make a sound, the queen waved her hand: "Okay, you can go back quickly, what's your sixth sister-in-law, do you have to listen to it?"

The seventh prince and concubine hurriedly said that she didn't dare, and then left with everyone.The queen nodded with a smile: "Your seventh sibling is still young, don't worry about her. If you have anything to do, just talk about it. If the queen mother can help, she will definitely help you."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Shen Ruyi hurriedly saluted, and then said in a soft voice after sitting down: "Before I got married, didn't Queen Mother give me a nanny to teach me how to behave? I thought, these years, Ding Nanny Mammy has been kind to me, and now that I have learned the rules and etiquette, I can't let Mammy Ding be left alone."

The queen's eyes sank and she didn't answer. Shen Ruyi continued, "It just so happens that the queen mother must have known about what happened in my family last year. My second aunt..."

Shen Ruyi rubbed her eyes, her eye circles were slightly red: "She has only one daughter, Jiamei. Now that the second aunt has passed away, Jiamei will have no mother. Jiamei's original nurturing mother was invited from the palace. My second uncle was released from the palace before. Please resign and go back to your hometown, Jiamei still lacks a foster mother..."

Due to the strong request of the old lady, the second room should be back by the end of this year.At that time, the Hou Mansion will separate.Shen Jiamei was to be raised by the old lady's side. Although she had nothing to do with Mrs. Shen, but if Shen Jiamei wanted to live in the Hou's mansion, Mrs. Shen had to bear some ties.

As for whether Nanny Ding is willing to follow Shen Jiamei, this is not something Shen Ruyi has to consider.If the Queen really agrees, then Nanny Ding will be tied to Shen Jiamei for the rest of her life. Even if Nanny Ding is not smart, she should know that she has to make a choice.If the queen did not agree, then there is no need to consider the following matters at all.

"You mean, let Nanny Ding serve your third sister?" The queen raised her eyebrows and asked, Shen Ruyi nodded embarrassedly: "Yes, after all, Nanny Ding is better at teaching manners and etiquette. It is really wronged her to stay with me. It just so happens that Jiamei lacks a nurturing mother..."

The queen raised her eyebrows, displeasure flashed in her eyes, and when she was about to speak, Shen Ruyi's expression changed immediately, and she hurriedly interrupted the queen's words: "Oh, I'm sorry, mother, I suddenly remembered something more important, Madam Ding Mama can't go yet."

As he said that, he smiled embarrassingly and said: "Nurse Ding has to stay and help me. I forgot just now. There is still a lack of nunnery around Xiao Chu. I only think about the nanny. I forgot this time." Something has happened, please forgive me, Queen Mother."

The queen's face softened a little: "I was still thinking, you young couple are young and ignorant, if Nanny Ding leaves, there will be no other nanny around you who can help you. I have nothing else here, just There are enough mammies. I can still decide to choose one more for you."

Shen Ruyi nodded hurriedly: "Has Madam Ding been serving me for two or three years, and I've gotten to know Nanny Ding well, so I thought, I'd better keep Nanny Ding by my side. As for nurturing Nanny, the queen mother doesn't have to worry , I used to have a foster mother who also came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The rules are good, so I let Lu mother take care of Xiaochu for me. The rules are not so strict for boys. If you go to the House of Internal Affairs to ask for someone, you will be overqualified. Since there are still many nuns here, please ask my mother to give one to my third sister."

The queen lowered her eyes, and finally figured out why Shen Ruyi came here today.It was indeed her decision that Nanny Ding would go to the Sixth Prince's son's side to be a tutor. If she made it clear, Shen Ruyi and his wife would not be able to refuse.But now that Shen Ruyi has made a plan, she can no longer say it clearly.Putting people next to the daughter-in-law would have crossed the Ming road in front of the emperor, but if you put people next to the emperor's grandson who is not his own grandson, the emperor might have to think twice.

"You have an idea. Since you have already made up your mind, let's do it this way. I will talk to the Ministry of Internal Affairs about the other nanny you want later, and you can choose one yourself." The queen said with a smile, and it was still You are too young, do you really think that nothing will happen if you keep Nanny Ding by your side?
Shen Ruyi hurriedly got up to thank her, and then she left.Went to the Compassionate Ning Palace to bring back his son, and only after returning home did he feel a chill down his back.After thinking about it, he was still a little worried, so he simply followed his previous thinking and sent Nurse Ding a maid to serve her.

However, Shen Ruyi was somewhat frustrated. Two years ago, she was thinking of sending Nanny Ding away. Now, it has become that as long as Nanny Ding is not with her son, it will be fine. Sure enough, people still have to face reality. Head bowed.Don't blame yourself for not being smart, just blame the other party for having too many people, send one away, and then come again, endlessly.Thinking about it now, not having a mother-in-law has both advantages and disadvantages.

Of course, Shen Ruyi could only think about this for herself.Forget it, although the goal was not achieved, it was not the worst either.But a nanny, on her own land, can she make any waves?

Children see the wind grow, and by the time of May, they will already turn over.Shen Ruyi was teasing Xiao Pangdun in the room, when she saw the sixth prince come in with a pale face: "I'm not feeling well, I always feel stuffy in my heart, as if something is going to happen..."

Before he could finish speaking, a bell suddenly sounded outside.The sixth prince was stunned for a moment, and Shen Ruyi was also a little dumbfounded. The bell usually rings in another situation - the emperor, empress, and empress dowager. It will only ring when one of them is dead. After the bell rings, The whole capital city should be changed into plain white.

The sixth prince's lips trembled a little: "Yes, who is it?"

Shen Ruyi was also a little frightened, the emperor is still in court today, it is said that he is in good health, so he should not die suddenly.The queen's body is better than the emperor's, and there shouldn't be any sudden accidents, so...

The husband and wife looked at each other, didn't speak, got up quickly, ordered people to change the colors of the things in the house, and went into the inner room to change clothes.Before the husband and wife were ready to enter the palace, the mourner came - the empress dowager passed away.

It was just a nap. After the empress dowager fell asleep, she never opened her eyes again.

The sixth prince mourned greatly. Compared with the emperor, he had a deeper relationship with the empress dowager.The emperor almost couldn't hold it anymore, that's his own mother.However, no matter how sad and desperate the living are, they have already fallen into a long sleep and cannot be woken up again.

After crying, what should be done is still to be done.Crying, vigil, burial, none of them can be sloppy.The emperor was originally in poor health, after the empress dowager's funeral, the emperor lost a lot of weight, his body was a little bent, and he looked ten years older than his actual age.

Now that the sixth prince had said to resign from office, it was delayed again.

At the end of the year, the emperor and the sixth prince came out of their grief.After all, when the empress dowager reached her age, it was considered a funeral, and she passed away in her sleep. This was something that no number of old people could ask for. Being free from illness and pain was considered a blessing.
