Chapter 297 Minyan is about to give birth
When Yinreng and Hongye returned to Kunning Palace, they were greeted by a scene of unparalleled harmony. Their mother, Buerhe, and her sister, Jingyi, were sitting affectionately around Ageqi, excitedly discussing family matters. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
Over there, three adorable little brothers, like a flock of lively little birds, tightly surrounded the second brother, clamoring for him to tell a story. The whole scene was filled with laughter and looked truly warm and beautiful.
However, just as Hongye was immersed in this beautiful scene, he suddenly realized that something seemed amiss. He quickly looked around, thinking to himself: Huh? Where is my Crown Princess? Why isn't she here for such an important occasion?
Just as Hongye was hesitating whether to ask the servants beside him, he heard a commotion outside the door. Then, a group of servants, like stars surrounding the moon, slowly walked in, escorting the Crown Princess. Behind her, a long line of exquisite boxes filled with various delicacies followed.
When the Crown Princess entered the room, she saw it was already packed with people. She quickly quickened her pace, walked over to Yinreng, bowed slightly, and said softly, "Your Majesty, may you be blessed." Then, turning to Buerhe with a smile, she replied, "Your Majesty, the meal is ready and may be enjoyed at any time."
Upon hearing this, Buerhe and Jingyi exchanged a glance, both of them showing a look of sudden realization. At this moment, they finally remembered the previously forgotten event—it turned out that the Crown Princess had personally gone to the small kitchen early in the morning and had been there meticulously supervising the preparations for today's lunch.
They had agreed that once Ageqi arrived, they would immediately send someone to inform the Crown Princess. But who would have thought that everyone was so engrossed in the conversation and so excited that they had completely forgotten about it!
Buerhe's face was full of guilt. She turned her head slightly, not daring to look directly at Xian'er in front of her, and said softly: "Xian'er, mother was so engrossed in the conversation just now that she forgot about this. I'm so sorry!" As she spoke, she sighed softly, her eyes full of regret.
The Crown Princess smiled slightly, a smile as gentle and warm as a spring breeze. She gently shook her head and said in a soft and soothing voice, "Don't blame yourself, Empress Dowager. I understand your mood today. Besides, Aunt Qi'er has already sent someone to inform them. As soon as I heard about this, I hurried back to my room, changed my clothes, and hurried here."
After saying that, she turned her gaze to Ageqi beside her, a trace of apology on her face. "Sister Ageqi, I'm so sorry. I was covered in grease and couldn't come to see you just now. It was so rude. So I went back and changed into clean clothes. That's why I'm a little late. I hope you won't blame me!"
Ageqi felt warm in her heart. She could truly feel the importance that everyone present attached to this meeting and the enthusiasm they showed.
Far from minding at all, she was deeply moved. She stood up hurriedly and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Your Highness, you are too polite. I feel a little overwhelmed by your politeness. How could I mind? I would also like to thank Your Highness for getting up early in the morning and taking the trouble to arrange the meals. I will always remember this kindness." As soon as she finished speaking, she bowed to the Crown Princess Yingying to express her gratitude.
Looking at the harmonious scene before her, Buerhe felt a slight relief from her guilt. She held out her hands, took one person's hand, and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, we're all family. Why are we so polite? Stop standing and sit down." Everyone followed her advice and sat down, and the room was immediately filled with laughter.
The next day, Burhe and the Crown Princess began to prepare for Hongchang's wedding. Now there was not much time left before the one-year deadline, and preparations for a royal wedding took time. In addition, this was the first time that the Crown Princess took the lead in front of everyone, so Burhe and the Crown Princess were on high alert, and if there was any problem, they would immediately start to solve it.
Practice is the best way to train a person. Although Zhang Xianya had learned many skills at home and managed household affairs and dowry before, none of those small scenes could compare with the royal wedding banquet. The complicated rules and personnel deployment were no easier than those of some senior officials in the previous dynasty.
There is always a reward for every effort. In just two months, Zhang Xianya has transformed. The royal elegance in her every move and her calm demeanor have made her the perfect image of a crown princess in the eyes of countless people. Even Prince Yong's wife constantly praises her: "She is becoming more and more like the second sister-in-law."
This child is truly teachable!
Buerhe finally felt relieved and took some time off to visit Prince Yong's mansion. Speaking of which, Minyan was diagnosed with pregnancy at the end of last year. Time flies, and now it's August. Counting on her fingers, she's about to give birth this month.
Buerhe was always a little nervous and worried. After thinking about it, he felt that he had to go there in person no matter what.
So, she carefully prepared all sorts of items, large and small, fearing to miss anything that might be useful. Furthermore, she was closely followed by several experienced midwives. Even the wife of the imperial physician, Mrs. Zhang, who had not been out for a long time, was personally invited by Buerhe this time.
In this way, this large and powerful team marched towards Prince Yong's Palace in a mighty manner.
When everyone arrived at Prince Yong's mansion, the wife of Prince Yong was already waiting at the gate. Seeing this, Prince Yong's wife couldn't help but marvel at the important position her daughter-in-law occupied in the heart of her second sister-in-law.
Originally, she had been thinking about whether to find a concubine for her son Honghui after her daughter-in-law gave birth, but at this moment, this idea disappeared in an instant like smoke.
Never mind, as the saying goes, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings!" Besides, thinking carefully about my own experiences when I was young, wasn't it that I didn't want to share my husband's love with too many people?
Looking back, if her second sister-in-law had not come to her aid in time, she would have been abandoned in some corner where no one cared about her. Life at that time would have been much more difficult than it is now!
It had to be admitted that, despite having played and spent many years with Buerhe, Princess Yong's wife still held some deeply ingrained traditional values. However, she knew her second sister-in-law's character well. After all, Minyan was her beloved niece, whom she had always cherished and cherished! How could she bear to sit idly by and allow Minyan to be bullied?
Back then, she and Buerhe were just sisters-in-law, but whenever she encountered difficulties, Buerhe would always lend a helping hand without hesitation. Now, Minyan is not only her niece, but also a blood relative, so Buerhe will surely take extra care of her.
Therefore, if Honghui dared to do something that would betray Minyan and become a heartless person, Buerhe would definitely support Minyan in choosing the path of divorce. If so, the position of Prince Yong would probably change hands.
Thinking of this, Prince Yong's wife couldn't help but think to herself: If she is willing to sacrifice the precious mother-son relationship, the deep friendship between best friends, and even the bright future of the entire Prince Yong's Mansion for those illusory and unknown future grandchildren, this is really an extremely unprofitable deal!
At that moment, even the most stubborn traditional ideas seemed pale and powerless in the face of practical interests. So, Prince Yong's wife made a decisive decision and forcibly suppressed her original intention of giving Honghui a concubine to consolidate her position.
At the same time, she secretly vowed in her heart that after this incident, she would severely punish the nanny who came up with such a bad idea and properly discipline the servants in her courtyard. Perhaps it was because her life had been too smooth and comfortable in recent years that she had gradually lost her vigilance and precautions.
Prince Yong's wife knew very well why Burhe came this time, so she did not exchange pleasantries and led everyone directly to Honghui's courtyard.
This courtyard, known as Junzixuan, was where Honghui grew up. Later, when he married, it underwent meticulous renovations, connecting and merging two adjacent courtyards to create the spacious and elegant courtyard it is today. The name itself was personally chosen by Yinzhen, a testament to his high hopes for Honghui.
By this time, Minyan's belly was already bulging. When she heard the news, she had been waiting at the gate. Upon seeing Bull and his group, Minyan's eyes lit up slightly, and she hurriedly bowed and greeted them, supported by the maids and servants beside her.
However, Buerhe waved his hands to stop them and said, "Get up quickly and don't bow! I don't care about these formalities." As soon as he finished speaking, a servant quickly stepped forward and supported Minyan steadily.
Bull and his steps hurried over to Minyan, patted her hand gently, and said softly, "Good girl, let's put aside all those empty formalities for now and go into the house."
After saying that, her eyes were completely focused on Minyan. She no longer cared about the other people around her, but just urged everyone to quickly help Minyan back into the house.
Upon seeing this, Prince Yong's wife hurriedly called for them to go into the house together.
Seeing Madam Zhang, Buerhe quickly called her to Minyan's side: "Madam Zhang, please take a look. Is Minyan's pregnancy safe? Do you want my second sister-in-law to come over and take care of her?"
It’s not that Buerhe doesn’t trust her fourth brother’s wife, but she just looked at the situation and thought Minyan should have antecessor fear. At this time, it would be better to have her biological mother by her side.
Madam Zhang didn't refuse. She sat down and took her pulse. After a while, she spoke directly, "The Crown Prince and his wife's pregnancy is stable, but she's a little nervous because the due date is approaching. It would be best if the Crown Prince could stay by her side, or if Madam Ulanara could sleep with her. There are no other problems. We just need to prepare a female doctor and a midwife."
Buerhe breathed a sigh of relief. She was really scared by Minyan's look of wanting to cry just now. Now she heard that it was just pre-mortem anxiety, so it was not a big problem.
Although she was the queen, this was a matter of Prince Yong's mansion, and she could not interfere directly, as it would easily damage the relationship. So Buerhe directly asked Prince Yong's wife: "Fourth brother's wife, what do you think?"
The Fourth Lady understood immediately after hearing this. She also valued Minyan and this baby, so she had no objection. "Don't worry, sister-in-law. When Honghui comes back, I'll tell him to stay home with Minyan. As for my in-laws, I'll send someone to invite them myself."
Bull nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
