Jia Yao of the Red Chamber

Chapter 68 Serious Illness

"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Sex is similar, habits are far away..." The tender child's voice is still a bit milky, and there are some suspicious folds on the delicate water-blue robe.With two chubby hands behind his back, his big black eyes were blinking, which made people's hearts soften just looking at it.

When he was just able to speak fully, Jia Yao taught him the Three-Character Classic sentence by sentence, not just to enlighten him. You can also ask him to practice speaking.

But our little Angel is not very patient. After a short talk, he became impatient.Looking at his father and king, it is almost time to come back, the little man rolled his eyes, rushed over and put his arms around Jia Yao's waist and said affectionately, "Mother, concubine, Angel's back is so good!"

This child is born to act like a baby, Jia Yao is very helpless about this, and she doesn't know how he can learn this by himself.Seeing that he pouted a little unhappy, he knew that he was tired from playing outside, and he didn't take a nap at noon today, so he was about to be unhappy right now.He straightened his robes, "Look at you like a little monkey, running around the palace. You won't take a nap at noon today, it's uncomfortable!" Angel put her head in the soft and warm arms of her mother and concubine, The whole person snuggled up to the warmest and safest place in the world.Jia Yao pulled him into her arms and patted him on the back, "Don't sleep yet. In the evening, the concubine ordered them to make crystal steamed buns. When your father comes back, we will have dinner."

Because of the pampering in the palace, Angel is the only child who grows up the happiest in the palace.There are not many pills left in Jia Yao's space, but of course, for her own son, she is willing to use it even if she doesn't need it.For more than three years, little Angel basically enjoyed all the good things in the hands of his mother and concubine.Of course, Jia Yao would not tell him what she ate for him. Since she got married, the time she spent practicing has become shorter and shorter, and she has less and less time to think about space.After having a son, she basically seldom thinks about other things.If it is said that Mo Lanyan has been recognized by her as a lover, then this chubby little pig in her arms is her heart and the root of her existence.Maybe sometimes when I think about it, until the night before giving birth, she will have a moment of hesitation and confusion, as well as a feeling of not being able to fully belong, then after seeing her little bun for the first time, she will know why she was rejected. It's caught up in this era.

Like all Chinese women, she loves her children more than her life.

Just before Angel was about to fall asleep in the warm arms of his mother, His Royal Highness, who had recently been entrusted with more and more heavy political affairs on his shoulders, finally returned.

It has been five years since they were married, and their relationship has become sweeter and more stable.There was never another woman between them.This point may be quite common among ordinary nobles, but as a member of the royal family and the prospective heir to the throne, it is really difficult for Mo Lanyan to do this.

When Jia Yao was pregnant with a child, she insisted not to have any women for Mo Lan under tremendous pressure.Logically speaking, seeing her attitude at that time, the old queen mother and the emperor should have been somewhat dissatisfied with her.After having Angel, especially during the confinement period, Jia Yao has always been a little sentimental and cranky, and sometimes her emotions get there, and she even desperately wants to let nature go.If Mo Lanyan has other women, then she will. She will only live with her precious son in the future... However, as Angel grows up, she still waits tremblingly for another woman beside Mo Lanyan. The appearance of a woman.However, she slowly found out in amazement that neither the emperor nor the old queen had any intention of granting Mo Lanyan two concubines or simply setting up a side concubine.

Mo Lanzhang had a vague idea in his heart, maybe it was just for himself, his son who was so popular with them.The father, who has always only had the words of hypocrisy and hypocrisy in his heart, treats his son with the appearance of sincere love.Every time the grandpa and grandson saw each other, the pampering and pampering of the emperor was genuine.Thinking back to the first day of the Lunar New Year two years ago, under the special care of the emperor, when his son, who hadn’t done anything hastily, caught the Zhou banquet, the son grabbed a small bow and arrow studded with precious stones. At that time, tears flashed inexplicably in his father’s eyes. As if remembering something.Then, in front of everyone, he lifted Angel up, and even raised himself above the head of a king, and seriously looked at his precious son who had just turned one year old, "When you grow up, the emperor Grandpa is going to give you the best pony and bow."

He thinks that he, who is aloof, always strategizing with a decent smile, destroys Xiyi and governs Jiangnan, rectifies officials and exterminates party factions, still has some real feelings.But it has never been used on his women and sons, maybe there are some for his mother, his own imperial grandmother, maybe for this country, his people have some, maybe...

His eyes could not see through the dust of history, and saw how the exterminated Xiyi had endured the wrath of the king.He only knew that the country that he overheard his late mother mention had never appeared in the history books he read in the upper study when he was a child, as if it had never existed.They, the princes, have no way of knowing that they have a little emperor uncle whom they lost long ago, which has never been mentioned by any palace servants.

And only by piecing together a little bit of dark corners of history, can he find out in a trance that many years ago, his father gave many real emotions that he had hoped for when he was young, to a dead person who had sunk into the night long ago... …

There are some things that even his beloved sweet wife cannot tell. He can only gently brush her black and soft hair after she is asleep, smell the warm fragrance in the air in the summer night, and be grateful for her care. Give him a complete and warm family.And fortunately, when he realizes his original dream of ruling the world, he will not be like the one sitting on the throne now, who will always be a loner.

After the age of three, Angel won't wake up in the middle of the night like he did when he was a child, and just look for his parents, he can sleep peacefully until dawn by himself.This made the silly parents who were moved by every bit of his growth happy, but also breathed a sigh of relief.When Angel was still unable to sleep by herself, many times she ran to their house in the middle of the night, and then slept between the two of them in the middle of the night.

When it comes to education, Jia Yao will not be foolish and just regard her husband as her god.She and Mo Lan are both responsible for Angel's growth, so they should discuss and explore together, and strive to raise their son who is still drooling from time to time, and the thing he is best at is blinking his big eyes and acting like a baby, into an excellent son. A big man who stands upright.

In this era, all the children of the upper class are delicate and expensive, girls are raised like wind, and boys are raised like girls.It is said that Baoyu has changed a lot under Jia Yao's efforts, but he still has the common faults of those aristocratic princes.There are some things that Jia Yao can't change, for example, when these sons and princes sleep when they are young, they have to sleep with their grandmothers and nurses, and four or five maids are dedicated to take care of them.

Others can't control it, her own son, Jia Yao naturally has the right to make decisions.So although our little Angel Baozi looks white and tender and beautiful, he is actually much stronger than those noble children who are useless.Since she was two years old, Jia Yao sent only one servant girl to serve her at night, or outside, and Angel slept in the room alone.In fact, Jia Yao was also worried and distressed at the beginning. Basically, Angel slept all night, and she couldn't sleep well all night. Whenever there was any movement, she would wake up first, and then tiptoe to see her son in a piece of clothing. .

At the very beginning, when Angel would inevitably get hungry and wet the bed at night, Jia Yao took him to take care of him and let him sleep with her in the second half of the night.But everything is changing.At the beginning, Mo Lanyan, who didn't quite agree with Jia Yao's education methods, gradually felt better.Angel woke up less and less often at night, and was able to sleep soundly through the night in many cases.This is extremely rare among children of the same age.He slept well like this, and he had an appetite for the meal when he woke up in the morning.The spirit of the day is also very good.Look, this is more attractive than other people's children.

Not only because of the marrow washing pill that Jia Yao gave him, but because he can eat and sleep, and is willing to move during the day, Angel's health is indeed good.He runs vigorously and rarely gets sick.The queen mother saw this beloved great-grandson in her arms and had a hearty meal, and she couldn't help but praise Jia Yao for raising the child well.

In the blink of an eye, Angel's third birthday has passed for a long time.Just after the first snow fell this winter, the aging old queen fell ill.

The old queen really cared about Angel. Since she was sick, she never asked her great-grandson to come and see her.Because I'm afraid I'll get sick of this baby lump who looks like a little son.Dudu also asked Concubine Rong to bring a group of concubines, and the concubine to bring the eldest concubine Xie, and the fourth concubine Shi to serve the decoction.

In fact, according to the old lady's thinking, even Jia Yao was unwilling to let her come over.After all, this is the daughter-in-law of the third grandson, the mother of the sweetheart, what should I do to Jingyang Palace with her sickness?But the rules here are too big, even the old queen can't really prevent Jia Yao from coming over for the sake of her great-grandson. This is not only not good for the third grandson's family, but also gives people a handle.She only told Jia Yao in private that she went back to the palace and paid attention to mending her precious great-grandson, saying that this little man would not be able to resist the cold in winter.Jia Yao can naturally understand the unfinished meaning in it.

Originally, the old queen's illness was not very serious, and according to the imperial doctor, it was only a ten-day period of medicine.

Everyone in the palace didn't think about it, after ten and a half years, the old lady's illness is still the same.Not to mention that there is no improvement, but it is getting worse.

As the saying goes, people only dare to get sick in winter when they grow old, because it is easy to not survive the winter.Jia Yao didn't take it too seriously, but now that the old man who was always in good health was getting sicker and sicker, she realized that it was true.

Although she is only a grandson's wife after all, the old lady has always been kind to her.Now that such an old man is lingering on the sick bed, his body is getting worse and worse, Jia Yao can't help but feel sad while serving him wholeheartedly.

Looking at the old lady whose eyelids were getting heavier these days, Jia Yao, who was taking care of her, sighed.Putting down the useless soup and porridge in his hand, he was about to order his servants to bring it over when Mammy Wu came to report, "Crown Princess, Mrs. Wula brought Miss Wula to see the Empress Dowager."
