Chapter 959 She was afraid that the child would spoil him
It is still unknown whether Yi Yi has the same temperament as his grandfather, but he is really favored by Emperor Zhaowu.
The little guy rode on his uncle the emperor's neck like a happy little pony.
His short legs dangled in front of Emperor Zhaowu's chest, and he clutched the collar of his black brocade robe, giggling so hard that his teeth were showing.
"Uncle Emperor!"
"Hey."
"Uncle Emperor!"
"here I am."
He called "Uncle Emperor" and Emperor Zhaowu responded.
He called "Uncle Emperor" again, and Emperor Zhaowu responded again.
One called out in a baby voice, the other responded in a gentle voice, and every word they said was true.
The most important thing is that both of them are happy.
At first, when Xiao Shuzi saw this scene, he was so scared that his calves were trembling. He was simply not used to someone riding on his master's neck.
Now that he has seen it so many times, he is no longer surprised and can join in the fun. When the others are having fun, he runs behind them, shouting "Go!" in a shrill voice.
Yi Yi followed suit, patting Emperor Zhaowu's head with his chubby little hands and shouting "Gee!"
Bei Hui went to that courtyard and watched that scene, then came back and described it to Shi Anxia with a smile in her eyes and eyebrows.
One of them described it vividly, with a bit of pride. The other one listened with his forehead rubbed, especially when he heard that "three strands of the emperor's hair were torn apart", he was so anxious that he wanted to bring his son back and beat him up.
Shi Anxia considers himself to be a very calm person in the face of difficulties, but he often gets angry recently and always ruins his mood for his son.
She rubbed her throbbing temple, wondering whether she should deal with that disrespectful son first, or have a good talk with the emperor first.
Shi Anxia's knuckles turned white from pinching, and she frowned as she said to Bei Hui, "Go and bring Yi Yi back. Don't let him stay with the emperor for too long."
Living with a king is like living with a tiger. The closer you are to him, the more likely it is that something will go wrong later.
Bei Hui saw that his wife was unhappy, so he quickly put away his smile, agreed, and left. When he came back empty-handed, he was a little annoyed, "Master Yiyi refused to leave, and the emperor wouldn't let him go. The emperor asked me to come back and tell you that he can't bring up the child badly, so you can rest assured."
Shi Anxia: "..."
Is she afraid that he will lead the child astray? She is afraid that the child will spoil him.
When the wet nurse, Aunt Zhang, went to pick up the child at night, she was so frightened that she could barely breathe. She didn't even dare to look up, but only looked down at her toes.
Oh my god, that's the Emperor! She actually got to see the Emperor one day in her life. When she goes home and tells him about it, her family will definitely worship her, right?
This is such an honorable thing for the family!
At this moment, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Nanny Su. If she hadn't left, she would be able to see the Emperor now.
Nanny Zhang and Nanny Su get along well, and they discuss everything together. I wonder what kind of person Madam will send to help her take care of the young marquis. If it's someone good, it's fine, but if it's someone with a lot of tricks... Then again, if someone with a lot of tricks is too tricky, Madam won't send him.
Her mind was full of thoughts, and suddenly she heard a gentle voice above her head, "Will this child kick the quilt at night?"
Aunt Zhang trembled all over and knelt on the ground. She stared at the ground, her voice trembling, "Reply, reply to Your Majesty, the young master sleeps very well, but... sometimes he needs to hug the rag tiger to fall asleep..."
I regretted it as soon as I said it - how could I tell such trivial matters to His Majesty?
But Emperor Zhaowu chuckled and asked, "Is your child a picky eater?"
"No... not too picky." Nanny Zhang's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "The young marquis has a big appetite and grows fast. Everything he eats tastes delicious. He just doesn't like carrots. I have to chop them up and mix them with the meat. Or I can use carrot cubes simmered in chicken soup..."
She spoke softly and her voice trembled more and more.
It was not until Eunuch Xiaoshuzi returned to the yard carrying the sleeping child that Nanny Zhang came to her senses and hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
"This child is quite heavy." Xiao Shuzi weighed the little marquis in his arms and said softly, "It's hard for you to hold him. After a while, you may not be able to hold him anymore."
Nanny Zhang agreed, and when she realized the meaning of the words, her face turned pale, "I can hold you up, I have endless energy!"
Is this going to be her turn? Her heart tightened and she couldn't help but panic.
Not to mention how honorable this job is, just because of the trust that the lady has in her and the affection she has shown in bringing up the young master since he was just an infant, she would never be willing to be separated from the young master.
Nanny Zhang reached out her hand to take the child back, but found that Eunuch Xiaoshuzi did not hand the child over.
When Master Xiao Shuzi saw that she had misunderstood, he winked at the attendant, who understood and immediately took out a set of items from the lacquer box and presented them to her.
"The Emperor gave the wet nurse Zhang—" Eunuch Xiao Shuzi said in a serious tone, "a pair of silver scissors with cloud patterns and a medicinal jade scraping board. He also gave ten kilograms of Chinese yam, which can be cooked with polished rice to strengthen the spleen and stomach."
Nanny Zhang quickly knelt down and raised her hands high to receive the reward.
Xiao Shuzi then carried the child into the yard, and Nanny Zhang quickly stood up with the reward in her arms and followed to lead the way.
After everyone left, Nanny Zhang looked at the sleeping young master and was surprised to realize that she had actually received a gift from the emperor.
Looking at the child's jade-like face, I found it even cuter. Her dense eyelashes were like butterfly wings, casting two faint shadows on her eyelids. There was still a little glittering saliva hanging from the corner of her mouth, and she was sleeping soundly.
The next day, Nanny Zhang reported the emperor's reward to the lady in detail. Only then did she know that not only she was rewarded, but the two little princesses' wet nurses also received the same gift.
After a night of worry, she finally put her mind at ease. Aunt Zhang was always worried that if she was the only one to receive the reward, she would become the target of public criticism in the mansion and be envied and excluded.
Shi Anxia also saw the emperor's intentions in these rewards. It was not gold and silver ingots or pearl hairpins or jewelry that dazzled people's eyes, but just a few practical things.
Silver scissors can be used to cut clothes, jade plates can be used for scraping, and yam can be used to cook porridge. Everything is practical and will not give people any reason to criticize you.
She once again went to express her gratitude to Emperor Zhaowu in person on behalf of the wet nurses.
Emperor Zhaowu said, "On the day my sister gave birth, I was also at your house watching them come into this world. I have a connection with these children and we are very close. From now on, I will take care of them and raise them, and wish them a smooth life."
At that time, An Xia bowed solemnly, her sleeves spread out like clouds, "Your Majesty, I am terrified and don't know how to repay your Majesty's kindness."
Emperor Zhaowu wanted to reach out and help her up. But in the end, he retracted his hand and said, "My sister, please stand up. My sister and your husband are honored people to me."
Shi Anxia stood up slowly and stood with his head lowered.
The gentle voice of Emperor Zhaowu rang in his ears, "I still remember that day when you came to me with a bulging belly to apologize for the matter of Eunuch An."
Shi Anxia really didn't dare to take credit for this matter, "It was my sister who offended me."
Emperor Zhaowu shook his head. "If you hadn't stopped it in time, Eunuch An would have caused a lot of trouble. I am on the throne, and the people around me are most likely to make mistakes." He paused and continued, "Lingzhou almost caused a chaos, and it was also because of my sister's alertness and prompt decision..."
