Chapter 955 The virtue of being a father
Capital.
The Imperial Concubine left the palace in the morning, and she went to see her grandson.
Shouning has had a child for a hundred days, and according to custom, the husband-in-law Ran Xingrang has been busy with this matter for the past two days.
Although the Imperial Concubine is the princess's biological mother and the child's "grandmother", according to the etiquette, there is no need to go to the princess's mansion. However, after all, the daughter of the grandson was full of the moon. The Imperial Concubine did not go there, but this time she had to go there.
The female officials in the palace dared to dissuade him, and the Ministry of Rites did not think that this matter was wrong. As for the Kunning Palace, they did not dare to ask about it, so the concubine, who had already left the palace in a carriage.
In fact, Wanli, the "grandfather", was also preparing to go, but he was the emperor. If he left the palace, he would definitely have a big situation. The princess's mansion was also cumbersome in all aspects, and with inconvenience in legs and feet, he asked the imperial concubine to visit Shouning and his son on behalf of his good life.
Over the past year, Wanli has loved Shouning's daughter very much. Every now and then, he asked the eunuch Xuan Shouning to enter the palace. This is a world of difference compared to his previous attitude of not listening to it.
This made the female officials and eunuchs in the princess's mansion no longer dare to bully the princess and his wife as before, and no one in the palace dared to say bad things about the princess next to the emperor and the imperial concubine.
Those who don’t know only think that Your Majesty will regain family affection when he is old, but those who know that Your Majesty does not value family affection, but money.
It is said that Shouning and Eunuch Wei, the garrison garrison sent to Jiangnan, got a maritime bond together. One was 1,000 taels, and sold many copies in Beijing. I heard that even the prince and Fu Wang bought it, the bond yield was very high. After only one year of issuance, it had already paid interest rates twice, which was more affordable than profit.
Behind the maritime bond is His Majesty. In order to make the maritime affairs come true as soon as possible and make more money, His Majesty promoted Eunuch Wei to the guards of Jiangnan. This was completely causal. It was only because His Majesty himself was not convenient for him to come forward, so His Majesty Shouning took charge of it.
That's why Your Majesty loves Shouning's daughter very much. Otherwise, how could you explain what Aunt Liang bullied the princess and his wife in the past, but Your Majesty ignored it?
When the imperial concubine arrived at the princess's mansion, the princess Ran Xingrang led the person to pick her up. The princess did not come to pick up her mother because of the child Shang Xiao.
The imperial concubine couldn't say that Ran Xing was too fond of this son-in-law, nor could she say that she had any dislikes, because she didn't choose this son-in-law.
But after all, he was the husband of his daughter and the father of his grandson, so the imperial concubine kindly said a lot to him, and Ran Xing was so happy that he was so excited.
Since marrying Shouning, this is the first time his son-in-law has been able to say so much to his "mother-in-law". In the past, he could not even stand the "mother-in-law" face.
When it comes to age, Ran Xingrang is actually only fourteen years younger than the Imperial Concubine.
The imperial concubine entered the palace at the age of fourteen, and was born at the age of sixteen. Now that her daughter has given birth to a child, she has become the "grandmother". But even so, the imperial concubine is only 39 years old this year.
At this age, even if the woman is well-off, she is still half old. But time has not changed much in the concubine. If there is any change, it means that the concubine's body is more plump than before, which is why the emperor loves her more and more.
A palace maid from the imperial concubine's palace laughed privately and said, "It's so big, the emperor will rub you."
After saying a few words to Ran Xingrang, the imperial concubine went to find her daughter and grandson, and she would not meet with the relatives and congratulatory officials in the Ran family.
Someone took the imperial concubine to go there. When he saw his daughter, Shouning was feeding the child.
"Mother!"
Shouning shouted happily.
The imperial concubine laughed and walked up to look at the grandson in her daughter's arms. She found that the little guy was big and handsome. The little guy who was sucking was not very interested when he saw his "grandmother" and was only interested in sucking.
"The little guy looks like you, but he doesn't look like the people from the Ran family, but it's better not to look like him. He looks like the people from the Ran family, but he doesn't look good when he grows up." The imperial concubine said with a smile.
"ah…"
When Shouning heard this, her face suddenly turned red, and then she frowned.
"This habit is not good, you can't spoil it."
The imperial concubine noticed that her daughter's chest was bitten by her grandson, and she smiled and pinched the little guy's face, which made the little guy very dissatisfied and she opened her mouth and was about to cry.
Shouning thought to himself that the virtue of being a father is, can he blame the child?
The imperial concubine laughed happily because of her grandson's appearance. Shouning hurriedly packed up her clothes and coaxed her son. The imperial concubine also helped coax her. After a while, the little guy fell asleep.
Shouning hurriedly put the child in the shaking blue, covered him and talked to his mother. After saying a few words, his clothes were wet.
The imperial concubine asked, "But the breasts are so swollen?" The two of them were in the house, so there was nothing they could say.
Shouning blushed and nodded slightly: "I've been swollen all the time, I'm a little too much, the baby can't drink it."
The imperial concubine was a veteran. She knew what was going on, so she asked her daughter to squeeze more and stuff her underwear more on weekdays. After a few instructions, the imperial concubine casually said: "Don't waste it, let the extra ones be drunk with the prince consort."
"Mother…"
Shouning's words called the Imperial Concubine made her face red.
"What's so shameful? I'll be a mother."
The imperial concubine smiled and shook her head, and told her daughter about how to take care of the child. She stood up and handed a piece of red gold jade into her daughter, saying, "Your father specially asked the silver to make a move."
Shouning hurriedly answered and asked his mother to thank her father for her on behalf of her.
"He is your father, what's there to thank? Okay, I'll go back too. You can take the child into the palace in a few days to let your father see him, and make him happy."
When he heard that his mother was leaving now, Shouning was unwilling to let her leave after she finished her meal no matter how she was.
The imperial concubine insisted on going back, so Shouning had to send her mother out of the mansion.
After returning to the palace, before the imperial concubine had time to see her husband, someone suddenly came from the Cining Palace and said that the empress dowager had been summoned.
"What did the Queen Mother ask me for?"
Concubine Zheng didn't think anything else. She just said that the Empress Dowager wanted to know about the Shouning children, so she went busy. However, she didn't expect that the Empress Dowager didn't ask about her granddaughter and her grandson at all, but scolded her.
"Last year, the emperor told the cabinet ministers that King Fu was a vassal of the capital this year, but why did he not see any movement from King Fu since the beginning of the year? It must be that you deceived the emperor again and made him change his mind." The empress dowager had a preconceived idea and decided that King Fu was not a vassal of the capital Zheng, which was the reason for interfering with him.
Concubine Zheng, who was already dissatisfied with this biased mother-in-law, was lazy to defend herself and replied: "The Virgin Mary's birthday this year should be ordered to be made to Chang Xun and Zhu, so it will not last long."
When the empress dowager heard this, her expression turned angrily and said, "You woman is also good at eloquence. My son, King Lu, is the vassal of Wei Hui. Can you come to celebrate your birthday?"
Concubine Zheng stayed and did not dare to say much, so she had to retreat. When she returned to the palace, she saw her husband enjoying flowers in the garden. Thinking of the anger she was suffering from the empress dowager, she couldn't help but step forward and knock down all the flowers.
"What's wrong with my beloved concubine? Who messed with you?"
Wanli looked puzzled, wondering why the imperial concubine had such a big temper.
