The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 443 Extra 2: Six years later (2)

Shen Qianhuang: "..."

Of course Shen Qianhuang knew what they were asking and answered truthfully: "Female sir."

Under the expectant gazes of Shen Qianchen and Shen Zhi, she continued to talk about the female gentleman. The female gentleman's name was Mu Qing. She was the daughter of Mu Feng, the former deputy general of the North Army. Mu Feng died on the battlefield nine years ago. She, her widowed mother, and her young brother came to Mu Mansion in the capital.

Mu Qing learned martial arts from her late father since she was a child. Because her widowed mother and grandparents didn't like her dancing with swords and guns, when she came to the girls' school, she applied for a job to teach chess instead of martial arts.

On the day of the riding and shooting competition, Mu Qing suddenly showed off his extraordinary skills, which surprised even Shen Qianhuang.

At that time, Chu Yunyi took action to control the frightened horse, while Mu Qing hugged the female student who fell off the horse. The two worked together very well. In the end, the female student was safe and sound. It was just a false alarm, but Mu Qing hugged her. While walking, my elbow hit the ground and was slightly bruised.

Shen Qianhuang said that Chu Yunyi went to Huixin Garden the day before yesterday and specially gave Mu Qing a jar of Shiquan Cream.

Hearing this, Shen Zhi and Shen Qianchen looked at each other. The eyes of mother and daughter both shone with interest, and they felt like they had a grown-up son (brother) in our family.

The girl named Mu Qing only suffered a few scratches. Chu Yunyi even specially sent ointment to her, naturally because she was afraid that the girl would have scars on her body.

Their brother Yi is actually so attentive to the girl’s family!

This is really the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair.

Shen Qianchen felt excited and planned to wait until she was out of confinement in two days, then quietly sneak out of the palace and go to Huixin Garden to see this girl Mu.

Shen Zhi smiled slightly and thought of going together with Shen Qianchen, but it was much more convenient for her. She planned to go to Huixin Garden to find Shen Qianhuang "openly" tomorrow and meet someone "by the way".

Shen Qianhuang drank tea silently, feeling no guilt at all for cheating his younger brother.

At this time, the respectful voice of the palace maid came from outside:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

These four words made Shen Zhi and Shen Qianhuang's eyes light up. They both looked towards the curtain at the same time and saw a handsome boy about five years old walking in from outside the curtain.

Five-year-old Gu Yuan wears a red round-collared dragon robe. He has fair skin and a pair of phoenix eyes like paint, which are very similar to Shen Qianchen and Shen Zhi. However, his face shape, nose bridge and lips are more like Gu Jue. The facial features are exquisite and beautiful, with pink and jade carvings, and he has the air of a noble man at a young age.

"Mother!"

Gu Yuan walked forward unhurriedly, bowed to Shen Qianchen in a decent manner, and then bowed to Shen Zhi and Shen Qianhuang gracefully, "Grandma, aunt."

The boy's movements are very elegant and standard, but because he is young, when he does it, it always makes people feel cute and interesting.

Shen Zhi and Shen Qianhuang couldn't help but smile lovingly.

"Xiao Yuan, will you come back to see your sister as soon as get out of class is over?" Shen Zhi asked gently.

When Gu Yuan was three years old, Shen Qianchen taught him. When he was four years old, Gu Jue selected two Hanlin officials, one old and one young, from the Hanlin Academy to be the prince and tutor, and taught Gu Yuan the six arts of a gentleman. Everyone has to go to the study room to study with the masters.

Not wanting to, Gu Yuan shook his head and corrected: "Grandma, I'm back to see my mother and sister."

"So good!" Shen Zhi couldn't help but laugh, and asked him to go see his sister first.

Gu Yuan walked softly to the baby's crib, lowered his eyes and looked at the little baby girl wrapped in a big red baby's playful swaddling clothes. He stared at her for a while without blinking, and then reached out to touch her soft The top of his hair returned to Shen Zhi's side.

Shen Zhi took Gu Yuan's little hand and asked about his homework with concern: "What have you started to study recently?"

"The Analects of Confucius." Gu Yuan answered truthfully.

When he pursed his lips, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, as if he was smiling, looking elegant and confident.

Shen Qianhuang was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect this child to start learning "The Analects" so quickly. However, after thinking about it again, Gu Yuan inherited the talents of his parents. He has always been smart and has a photographic memory, which is normal.

Hu Huo, who was following Gu Yuan, silently shed tears of sympathy for the two Hanlins.

Yes, their Crown Prince is extremely smart and well-behaved, but at the same time he has inherited his father's arrogance and arrogance. He doesn't show it on weekdays, but when he does show it occasionally, just a series of questions is enough to make the two Hanlins confused. The question left me speechless.

Empress Dowager Yin also lamented to Shen Qianchen in private that Gu Yuan looked too much like Gu Jue when he was young. When he was young, Gu Jue made Xie Wenjing so angry that he went to Emperor Renzong three times to resign from the post of Taifu.

Shen Zhi and Shen Qianhuang didn't know anything about this. They only saw how beautiful and smart Gu Yuan was.

Shen Qianhuang played a game of guided chess with him with great interest and taught him how to play chess. After the game, he praised him lavishly, saying that it was so easy to teach this little nephew, and praised him for his ability to draw inferences from one thing to another. Pass.

After having lunch at Qianqing Palace, mother and daughter Shen Zhi and Shen Qianhuang sat for a while, told Shen Qianchen to take a good rest, and then left together.

Not long after they left, Gu Jue came back.

The maids and chamberlains all retired, and the palace was quiet.

Gu Jue saw the three people on the couch at a glance, one big and two little ones, with their heads next to each other, sleeping soundly.

Gu Jue subconsciously slowed down his steps and walked quietly to the couch. Three similar white faces came into view. All three of them had their eyes closed, and their thick and long eyelashes formed a faint shadow on their cheeks.

The eyes of the mother and son are very similar. The lines of the eyes are long and narrow, with a graceful arc. The ends of the eyes are slightly upward, making people feel delicate, smart and very beautiful.

Gu Jue's heart suddenly became very soft, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He couldn't help but lean over and kiss Shen Qianchen's cheek, and his lips parted as soon as they touched.

When he straightened up, he met another pair of black and white, sleepless phoenix eyes.

Gu Yuan: "..."

Gu Yuan opened his eyes at some point, raised his hand and pressed an index finger to his lips, making a "shh" gesture to Gu Jue, telling him not to disturb his mother and sister.

Gu Yuan stood up, took Gu Jue's hand, walked to the window, and whispered: "Dad, my sister always cries at night. These days, my mother hasn't slept well at night. Let her sleep a little longer."

Gu Jue raised his hand and rubbed Gu Yuan's head.

He is the person beside the pillow, so of course he knows how the baby makes noisy noises at night.

Their little princess is very delicate. She cries when she is hungry, cries when she pees, cries when she is hot... As long as she feels a little bit uncomfortable, she will burst into tears.

Just then, the baby **** the couch opened her **** and white eyes and started crying loudly. She was a small person, but her voice was so loud that it almost broke the roof.

Gu Jue reacted very quickly and quickly picked up the swaddling clothes on the couch. The little baby girl in the swaddling clothes cried so hard that her face was red and she looked like she was hoarse.

Gu Jue wanted to take her out, but Shen Qianchen on the couch had already opened her eyes. At the same time, the wet nurse hurried in and took over the baby. By the time the diaper was changed and the baby, who looked brand new, lay on the couch again, it was already two cups of tea later.

The little baby girl felt comfortable on her body and became obedient. Her plump skin was as flawless as mutton-fat white jade, and she was extremely beautiful.

Her big, round eyes were rolling around, and her eyes were clear and bright. She looked at Shen Qianchen, Gu Jue, and Gu Yuan, and then she smiled. Her small mouth opened slightly, revealing her pink gums and a pair of shallow lips. The shallow pear dimples are soft and waxy, so cute, so cute.

"What a little girl!" Shen Qianchen couldn't help but laugh, reaching out and tapping the baby's delicate nose gently.

Gu Yuanshen nodded in agreement.

The little baby girl seemed to know that her mother was talking about her, and she made a sound of "yiyiyiya", making a milky sound.

"How about just calling her by this nickname?" Gu Jue suddenly suggested.

Shen Qianchen was stunned and read again: "Jiaojiao?"

The little baby girl kicked her legs twice in her swaddling clothes and giggled.

Shen Qianchen tapped the baby's nose with his fingertips and said seriously: "Jiaojiao, this is what you promised yourself. From now on, your baby name will be Jiaojiao!"

Shen Qianchen thinks this baby name is good. "Jiaojiao" refers to both beauty and Jiao Didi. It is a blessing for a little girl to have "Jiao Didi".

She and his eldest daughter, the eldest princess of Daqi, naturally have the qualifications to be squeamish!

Gu Yuan nodded seriously and said in agreement: "Mom, don't worry, I will bear witness for you!"

He couldn't help laughing in his heart: Now, everyone in Daqi will know that his sister is a coward!

"I plan to hold a full-moon banquet when Jiaojiao and Jiaojiao are both full moon. Wuhejialou will also come by then." Gu Jue skillfully picked up the infant Jiaojiao. He became a father for the second time. The baby moved very skillfully and gently weighed the baby.

Jiaojiao became even happier and let out another burst of laughter, seeming to be enjoying herself and echoing her father's words.

A baby's life is very simple. He sleeps, eats, eats and sleeps every day. He spends very little waking time and grows very fast, almost the same every day.

In contrast, as the prince, Gu Yuan's daily life was very busy and fulfilling.

Every morning, Gu Yuan would have breakfast with his parents. After breakfast, Gu Jue would go to the morning court, and Gu Yuan would go to the study to listen to the lessons given to him by the masters.

After the morning class, Gu Yuan came to Qianqing Palace to have lunch with his mother. After lunch break, he continued to class.

After the afternoon classes, he and Shen Qianchen would go to Shouning Palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother Yin.

Father would join them when he had free time; even if he was busy with government affairs, he would come to Shouning Palace to take them back, like today.

Shen Qianchen had not been to Shouning Palace for more than two months due to her heavy weight in late pregnancy and confinement. During these days, Queen Mother Yin went to Qianqing Palace to see Shen Qianchen and her daughter.

Today was the first time that Shen Qianchen carried Jiaojiao to Shouning Palace. Queen Mother Yin was so happy that she refused to let go of the baby.

Queen Mother Yin was really very rare for her little granddaughter. She never got tired of watching her. Sometimes she would touch her head, sometimes kiss her little face, and sometimes she would wipe her saliva.

"Our Jiaojiao is so beautiful, she looks more and more like Ah Jue when she was a child!"

"This nickname is also a good one. The more I pronounce it, the better it sounds."

"Ah Jue still knows how to choose a name!"

"Xiao Yuan, your name was also given by your father."

Queen Mother Yin smiled so hard that her eyebrows arched.

Gu Yuan smiled slightly and raised his chin unconsciously, with a bit of arrogance. After all, he is a child, and his temper is not outgoing on weekdays, but occasionally he still shows a hint of childishness.

Shen Qianchen was also smiling, his eyebrows soft. Gu Yuan's name is taken from "Be benevolent and righteous, Yue Zhi Yuanting", which is Gu Jue's best hope for this child.

Queen Mother Yin winked at Nanny Yan, and Nanny Yan brought over an exquisite carved box. Inside the box was a pair of golden longevity locks inlaid with dragons and phoenixes inlaid with hundreds of treasures.

Queen Mother Yin smiled and said: "Of these pairs of longevity locks, one is Jiaojiao and the other is Xiaoyuan."

After Jiaojiao was born, Queen Mother Yin was obsessed with giving gifts. She gave them all kinds of gifts, including baby swaddling clothes, tiger head hats, small clothes, gold necklaces, bracelets, anklets, etc.

Gu Yuan took the longevity lock engraved with a dragon, looked at it, and returned it to the Queen Mother Yin. He said with a smile: "Grandma, you gave me the longevity lock. Keep this for the future." Brothers and sisters."

Gu Yuan was speaking unintentionally, but Queen Mother Yin was somewhat interested in listening. She was slightly moved, feeling that her eldest grandson had an open-minded temperament and was very like an eldest brother.

Queen Mother Yin gently patted the baby, and couldn't help but think of what happened a long time ago, and the person she hadn't thought of for a long time - Gu Jue's eldest brother Gu Lang.

Gu Lang was sixteen or seventeen years older than Gu Jue. Gu Lang was already the prince before Gu Jue was born, and his status was stable. But Gu Lang was narrow-minded. In the past, their father only praised Gu Jue casually, so the East Palace must have a new set of decorations.

The past just flashes by, like a small boat crossing the lake. Although it will leave some ripples, these ripples will eventually dissipate and the lake will eventually return to calm.

Shen Qianchen looked at the grandfather and grandson from the side and smiled.

She had already noticed that since Jiaojiao was born, Queen Mother Yin seemed to be afraid that a bowl of water would be uneven, so she always prepared a gift for Gu Yuan while giving gifts to Jiaojiao.

She also wanted to mention it to the Queen Mother, but she was in confinement and had no chance to say it. However, little Gu Yuan's words resolved the knot in Queen Mother Yin's mind.

Queen Mother Yin smiled and praised: "Our Xiaoyuan is so generous!"

She handed the baby back to the wet nurse, hugged Gu Yuan and kissed him, which made Gu Yuan's hair suddenly explode.

"Grandma, I'm older!" Gu Yuan protested righteously. He is no longer a baby, and grandma can no longer kiss him like a sister!

This sentence was full of childishness and made everyone in the room laugh.

The infant Jiaojiao also woke up and seemed to be infected by the surrounding atmosphere, giggling non-stop.

The spring breeze outside the window blew in with the fragrance of flowers. In the courtyard, colorful butterflies and birds flapped their wings and flew among the flowers and treetops, attracting a sleek black cat with four snow-white claws, meowing continuously. Absolutely.

When Gu Jue came to Shouning Palace, what he saw was this harmonious scene.

Gu Yuan blushed and said, "I am already five years old and can move to the East Palace!"
