Chapter 240
Brother is picky
The fourth elder brother ate like a hungry wolf, his little hands still holding the skirt of E Niang's clothes. He drank too much and choked once, but Yu Yan was so frightened that she hugged the soft child in her arms.
Shaking and patting gently, it took a while to stop coughing.
The fourth elder brother was not full, and he did not bother to calm down his breathing. He grabbed Yu Yuan's clothes and wanted to eat again. However, Yu Yuan was so incompetent as a mother that he only managed to feed the fourth elder brother until he was half full.
Afraid that the child would spit up milk, Yu Lian picked up the child and patted him for burps. Unfortunately, the poor little brother didn't have enough to eat at all. He didn't burp even after being patted by his mother for a long time. After all, he had been crying for a long time.
Now, Brother Xiaosi was tired, so he just fell asleep.
Yu Lian looked at the sleeping child in her arms and felt extremely distressed. She even felt an inexplicable sense of self-blame. If she had been stronger and eaten more on weekdays, she would not be like this now.
When you use it, you will regret it less.
While blaming herself, Yu Lian was even more annoyed that her subordinates were not serving her well. How come other people's children were well-fed as soon as they were born, but her fourth brother was always hungry. One or two of them would not suit the little master's taste. I'm afraid
It’s true that you don’t serve with all your heart.
I'm afraid these slaves think that she is easy to bully because of her young age and low status, and they don't want to live under the hands of a mere noble like her!
Just thinking of this, Yu Lian was furious. She didn't worry about calling the child to the next person and took her to a side room to serve her. She only gently put the sleeping child in her arms on the couch. She got up by herself and called for flowers.
Yue Ying was waiting for her to change her clothes, and no matter how tired she was, she would sit outside and take a good look at the slave below.
"I heard that since my brother was born in the morning, he hasn't had a mouthful of milk from the wet nurse. I don't know whether it's because he's being picky or because you guys are just fooling me and my brother. The nipple is not good enough.
Dare you come to serve the prince?!"
Because she was worried about the sleeping child inside, Yu Yan's voice was not loud when questioning her, but even so, just asking in such a cold voice still made all the servants below her tremble, not only the maids and wet nurses below, but also the servants below.
The two senior nuns knelt down in front of their master with weak legs, not daring to offend the newly promoted concubine.
"Please forgive me, my wife. I really don't dare not to serve my little brother attentively. It's just that I really don't have a suitable candidate for my brother. You also know that Long live the Lord ordered me to prepare eight nipples for my brother. Today
I have tried everything this morning, but none of them are suitable. Now if I ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send some, I will naturally have to wait for some time."
"The slaves have been thinking of ways to do it. Even half an hour ago, the imperial concubine summoned the two wet nurses who were serving Third Brother, but it still didn't work."
"That's all, let me, the nanny, take care of it for now. When can the new nanny come?"
Doesn't Yu Lian not know the intention of Hua Yue's words? She also heard E Niang say something similar. These days, wealthy people do not encourage mothers to feed their children by themselves. What Hua Yue said is only one and two.
The third is that I feel that it is difficult to conceive while breastfeeding, and coupled with my physical condition and lack of energy, I am afraid that I will not be able to have a second child within three years.
Yu Lian nodded slightly, without saying much, and then sent some of the nuns Wu to wait. She could just wait a little longer.
After the people left, Yu Yan asked Huayue to go to the dining room and ask someone to prepare some milk-feeding soup for her to eat: "Now is not the time for me to get back in shape. I can't let the child starve.
You should prepare as soon as possible. I don’t know if I can feed the baby for a whole day with my body. Even though the baby is small, he can still eat it."
But this matter is not very scientific. Yu Yan doesn't believe it, and she also knows that colostrum is extremely beneficial to the child, even if the child is not picky, she originally planned to feed the child herself for two days, but now this happened
She is even more responsible.
"You also know that I can solve Brother Si's urgent need. I am the biological mother of the child. I can't watch the child go hungry all the time. But you don't have to worry about me leaving it behind. When you have a suitable child,
Now that I’m a nanny, I don’t want to do any hard work.”
After Huayue heard this, she knew that her master was doing her best for her brother, but she was still a little hesitant. She had never seen anyone in the harem who could do this for her little master like her.
Yuqian glanced at the leader and didn't say whether he believed what he said. He then asked Ju Ru, who had been waiting in front of Fourth Brother, and then realized that Aunt Wu and the others didn't tell any lies. It was indeed the house.
That brat there is very picky.
The one who stood up to speak at this time was Nanny Wu. Among all the people present, she was the most senior. Yu Lian was also very satisfied with the person before. It was the Empress Dowager and Aunt Sumala who chose her for her and the child.
When choosing a candidate, I would not hesitate to give it my best effort.
"Furthermore, if you breastfeed yourself, your figure will be out of shape. Now you are receiving the Holy Family. If you delay feeding your little brother, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate in the future."
Yu Lian felt distressed and sighed at the same time. She glanced inside, as if she couldn't get enough of the child.
I don't know what's wrong. It's all breast milk. These wet nurses have been eating the same food every day since they entered the Preparatory Week of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How can this milk taste different?
"Master, I don't know whether to say something or not. Although feeding the child yourself can solve my little brother's urgent need, it will not be conducive to your recovery. You have just given birth, and it is a time when your vitality is severely injured.
The nutrients have been almost consumed, and all of them have been fed to brother. I am really worried about you."
Yu Lian would not mind Hua Yue's sincere words, she just smiled and said a few words of comfort.
Aunt Wu hurriedly replied: "If I want to get back to you, I will have to wait for about half an hour. The imperial concubine has already given instructions to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Firstly, I have to select carefully, and secondly, there will be a lot of delays on the way back and forth."
few."
However, it is really worrying to see that the fourth brother is dissatisfied, but he did not choose her to be the mother-in-law. She is partial to Jade and not enough to feed the child.
"It's really not easy to raise a child. I'm very tired right now. I just fed Brother Si for a while and I broke out in a thin sweat. My arms are sore and uncomfortable. It's not like I don't have slaves to serve Brother Si.
, why should I ask for trouble, just don’t worry.”
Hua Yue smiled and nodded. She felt relieved when she saw that her master showed no sign of reluctance. She was afraid that her master would only be content with his fourth brother. It would be difficult for the children in the palace to grow up very well. Naturally, the more children, the better.
.
But after talking about this, Yu Lian remembered something and asked Hua Yue in detail.
"Why did Aunt Wu just call me "Mother"? Could it be that she was confused? Look back and mention it more. Although it is a good thing that we have a brother, we can't let the outside world think that our Yonghe Palace is arrogant. What a disaster.
It comes out of the mouth."
