Chapter 22

"Sister-in-law, is the one with a pointed belly going to have a son?"

"Little girl, don't inquire about this."

"Oh."

Xie Mo lowered his head and thought about what Niuniu's sister-in-law's belly was like at that time, but he couldn't remember.Even she couldn't tell that Concubine Ding's belly was pointed.Well, I don't want to, it's none of her business anyway.

Today besides Shi Liangdi, she also met the prince's other two concubines, one of the three women gave birth to a child for him.

Seeing that she was not moving, Mrs. Huang thought she was tired from playing, so she hugged her, "You lean on me and take a nap."

"Ah."

This sister-in-law was born of a husband and a mother, and she lost her mother when she was young. Huang's love for her comes from the heart.Of course, there are also some other things that are unavoidable, Xie Qian respects Xie Mo better, father-in-law also values ​​it, and even the people left behind by Xie's mother are more obedient.However, if she didn't really love Xie Mo, it would be a bit unfair to her.

However, for Xie Mo, Mrs. Xie really worked hard.Step by step to manage, just so that her daughter will not be slighted.

The things outside are naturally borne by the father and brother.But in the inner house, Huang's sister-in-law is needed to support it. Men don't care about the inner house.Mrs. Xie's people who stayed in various important positions were not only to help the daughter-in-law make a smooth transition, but also to protect Xie Mo's interests.Mrs. Xie can't be completely relieved of human nature. In the days before Xie Mo got married, she couldn't just count on Huang's kindness.

If it hadn't been for the empress's sister-in-law to expressly hint earlier, Mrs. Xie would have pretended not to understand and directly engaged Xie Mo.Just decide to be the son of a good sister with her, so that in the future, the mother-in-law will be more tolerant of Xie Mo for her sake.It's a pity that the queen said it early.Although she could go back on her word, the Xie family couldn't act rashly.Otherwise, if you offend the queen, Xie Mo's life will only be more difficult.

Xie Mo didn't understand it so deeply at this time, but her mother wanted her to obey her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law was really good to her, so she just obeyed.

The emperor's final fingering of marriage surprised everyone, and the position of Concubine Yongzheng was also vacant.He just married a side concubine, and Ding Yi gave birth to Prince Yong's eldest son Xiao Ye three months later.

On the day of the full moon, Xie Mo followed Huang to Yongwang's mansion to have full moon wine, and also went to see the baby.It's been a month, and it can be seen that he looks a lot like King Yong.

Today, the side concubine Wang Shi came out to receive the female guests, and Concubine Qi followed behind her.This side concubine is the daughter of Wang Huai, Minister of Rites.

And Concubine Ding was leaning on the big welcome pillow, looking at her son in the rocking car with joy on her face.

Of course, not everyone can go in to see the young master, Xie Mo went in because of Shi Liangdi.My brother told her not to get too close to King Yong, but she might as well see his son.

"His Royal Highness is here—" came a singing voice from outside.

Of course the crown prince would not enter his sister-in-law's house, he sat outside, waiting for someone to show him his newborn nephew.

The little baby was in Shi Liangdi's hands, and when she heard that the crown prince wanted to see her nephew, she didn't hand it over to the wet nurse, she took it out herself.Xie Mo naturally didn't want to stay in other people's confinement room, so he went out together.When he came out, he saw that Xiao Hao was accompanying the prince outside.

"The courtier has met His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Yong."

"Oh, Mo'er, get up." The prince looked sideways at the baby in Shi Liangdi's hands, "Well, it's very similar to when my second brother was a child."

Xie Mo has been back in the capital for a few months, and it was the first time that King Yong met the prince when he entered the palace to meet Empress Xie.Therefore, Xiao Hao couldn't help but look at the person in front of him.

"Hey, why don't you seem to be tall?" He said while touching his chin.

"Returning to Your Highness, of course my courtiers have grown up. It's just that His Highness is also growing, and much longer than my courtiers, so it looks like my courtiers haven't grown up." We haven't seen each other for three years, but we still hurt people when we meet, hmph!
"Well, it's reasonable." Xiao Mo nodded with a smile.This time, the emperor only pointed him to the side concubine.He went into the palace to ask his mother, who said she didn't know the reason.Looking at Xie Mo in front of him, he is already 11 years old, but his figure is still quite small.With his head down, he couldn't tell if his face was still full of childishness.In front of so many people, it's not easy for him to ask her to raise her head for him to take a good look.

Girls in Gongqing's family will start discussing marriage when they are 12 years old, and they will definitely make a decision before they are 14 years old at the latest.We will see the outcome in one or two years.

Xiao Hao stayed with the crown prince and Shi Liangdi for dinner, and the side concubine Wang left Aunt Xie Mo as a companion.

The crown prince responded with a smile. At this time, the two of them were acting like brothers and friends in tacit understanding.After watching the children, the two brothers talked in the outer hall.The concubine Wang then greeted Shi Liangdi and thanked Aunt Mo for serving tea inside.

Concubine Qi smiled and asked Xie Mo: "Miss Si, I heard that you like the grilled fish in our house, ask them to cook it for you again in the evening."

"Okay, thank you Concubine Qi." The last time they were fishing in Liufangwu in the back, there was someone beside them who was in charge of roasting.That grilled fish suits Xie Mo's taste very well.I have always heard that Concubine Qi can be a human being, and it seems to be true. The guests like it and remember it very well.

When eating, the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard naturally had separate seats. Xiao Hao frowned when he saw that there was an ordinary grilled fish in addition to the delicacies, "Why did you bring this thing up?"

The servant girl next to her hurriedly said: "Miss Xie's Fourth Miss likes to eat, so Concubine Qi specially ordered someone to make it."

The two brothers stretched out their chopsticks at the same time to pick it up, but they caught one of them, and then let go.

Xiao Ying took another piece, and Xiao Hao also took another piece.

Xiao Ying then asked the maid next to her, "Which party is that cook from?"

The maid bowed and said, "His Royal Highness, please wait a moment." After a while, she came in and reported that it was a small town near Yunyang.

Xiao Ying smiled, "No wonder! All the food in Yunyang tastes like this, and that's what Mo'er brings back."

Xiao Hao's pupils shrank a little, and it was like this again!Xie Mo would never think of giving him a copy when he was bringing something, not even by the way!
If Xie Mo was here, he would definitely cry for injustice. You were in the south of the Yangtze River at that time, so how could I pass it on to you?It's too exaggerated to send it all the way to the south of the Yangtze River.

When Mrs. Huang went back, she asked Xie Mo if she wanted to add some cooks who could cook Yunyang cuisine to the mansion.

Xie Mo said yes, daddy likes brother, and of course, she likes it too.

Since Xiao Hao was left behind by the emperor to work, of course he couldn't be a wealthy idler.It was not an overnight achievement to refresh the government, nor was it an overnight achievement for him to seize the reserve position, so at this time he was just doing his best to help the emperor with his affairs and exercise his talents.Also, recruit talents step by step.

Therefore, when he saw Xie Mo again, it was already time to go to Daxiangguo Temple to see him without saying a word.

The Xie family lit the ever-burning lamp for Mrs. Xie here, and they came here to add sesame oil during the first lunar month.The sesame oil money of 200 taels of silver a year could have been sent by the servants.Xie Qian and Xie Mo planned to come by themselves, but when Xie Huaiyuan found out, he said he would go too.The two brothers and sisters were worried that he would catch the cold, but they couldn't hold him back, so they had to let him come here in a warm sedan chair.
