Chapter 207
When Ji Yunqing was about to leave, Concubine Wen suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, there will be several princes' wives coming to the one-year-old feast this time. They have already handed in their invitations, and I accepted them."
Seeing Ji Yunqing's hesitation, Concubine Wen said nonchalantly: "They are just concubines and concubines, don't be nervous."
The child born to King Zhao was neither the eldest son nor one of the multiple children, and there was no plan for a grand celebration. The princesses would not easily come to the ceremony of grabbing the first birthday of a concubine's son.
Concubine Wen was also a little surprised: "Usually it's enough to just give a gift, why is there someone coming this time?"
"Forget it, come whenever you want!"
Ji Yunqing thought of Zeng Cheng and the latest letter he had received. Is Zeng Cheng planning to be a man again?
After the child is born, can her gender still be changed?
If things change, should the octuplets call each other mother or father?
If Concubine Fang, whom she met in Prince Lie’s mansion last time, comes again, she will observe her carefully. What is the relationship between this Concubine Fang and the little round maid in Zeng Cheng?
After leaving Concubine Wen's Yayueyuan, Ji Yunqing's heavy mood improved a lot.
Eighty percent of the preparations for the one-year-old banquet have been completed, and the rest is just some specific implementation and personnel deployment.
However, all of these are under the supervision of Concubine Wen. Concubine Wen is well-known in the mansion, so she can completely take advantage of the power of others.
I just don’t know how Ruirui is doing.
After all, they are father and son... Ji Yunqing thought about it and decided that there was no need to worry too much.
Could he really kill his own son who was less than one year old?
Shaking his head, Ji Yunqing returned to his own yard.
Ever since the prince brought back a child, the servants in the front yard have been busy.
After King Zhao left the court, he postponed his original social engagements, thinking of coming back to see how the little one was doing and whether he had adapted to the environment.
When I came back, I found that the servants in the whole yard were busy, wiping the windows, pillars and walls with rags, and cleaning up every corner of the yard.
Not to mention the numerous rooms.
King Zhao looked around and wondered, "What's going on?"
He kept the yard very clean, and King Zhao never felt that his servants were just being perfunctory, but he didn't expect it to be so clean!
Now he began to wonder if his servants had been just being perfunctory with him before.
King Zhao's voice immediately startled everyone who was working hard. They hurriedly put down the basins, rags, brooms, dustpans and other cleaning tools in their hands and greeted him respectfully.
Eunuch Liu stepped forward and explained in a gentle voice: "Your Highness, we servants think that the young master is young, so we have to tidy up the place where he lives. We must not let him suffer any grievances."
This is the first time a young master has lived in the front yard!
The little boy is so young that the servants feel so distressed when they see him!
Even the eldest son who lives in the front yard now was only four or five years old. Concubine Li really had no way to let the child live in the backyard, so she let him go and raised him in the front yard.
But that was living alone in a small courtyard, which is different from living in the same courtyard with the prince like this.
Of course, the third young master also lives in the front yard now, but he also has his own yard.
King Zhao took a deep breath. He couldn't let the young master suffer any injustice.
Do you want to think about this: I have always lived in this yard!
Forget it, he doesn’t bother with his servants so much.
"Where's the young master?"
"The young master is very well behaved and is still asleep. When he wakes up, do you want to call the nurse over?"
They also didn't know whether the prince could tolerate the young master staying temporarily but could tolerate the wet nurse to come and live with him, so no one went to ask for her.
King Zhao frowned. Is his yard an inn where anyone can stay?
Eunuch Shi quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, the young master can already eat softer food."
"Then let's eat!"
After King Zhao solved the problem, he glanced at Ruirui who was sleeping with a bulging belly, and simply turned around and went to the study.
Ruirui played happily the whole day. When he was hungry, he would say "hungry" to remind the servants to feed him.
When he saw King Zhao, he would call out in a milky voice: "Daddy!"
King Zhao felt that raising a child was not difficult, so how could the child be as naughty as Ji said?
He thought Ji was just exaggerating and wanted to take the opportunity to show how hard it was for her to raise a child.
The little guy is quite well behaved, let him stay here!
the next morning
King Zhao was half asleep and half awake when he felt something was wrong with his chest.
cool
There is also a sucking feeling
and many more?
suck?
When he opened his eyes, he saw a little kid with round eyes lying on his chest, with its furry head facing him.
King Zhao: “…”
King Zhao: I was speechless in an instant.
He remembered that before going to bed last night, the little guy was crying and calling for daddy, so he went to bed with him.
No wonder I could see it as soon as I opened my eyes today.
When the kid saw his dad open his eyes, he shouted happily, "Daddy!"
Prince Zhao was in a complicated mood, and his voice, as elegant and pleasant as a cello, rang out: "Do you still know that I am your father? Not your mother?"
As if hearing a key word, the little cub foolishly shouted at his father: "Mom!"
...No wonder Ji would compare this little guy to a kitten or a puppy. He really doesn't seem to be very smart.
Could it be that he inherited this brain from that woman from the Ji family?
King Zhao was worried for a moment.
Isn’t Ji’s stupidity all pretended?
Now he would rather the other party was pretending!
Seeing his father's bad face, the little guy admitted his fault quickly: "Daddy, it's my fault"
After not hearing any response from the other party, the little guy tilted his head and simply lay down in the old position again.
Seeing that the little guy was about to bury his head in his food again - in fact, he couldn't eat anything, King Zhao hurriedly stopped him and said, "Okay, go out and eat."
Day Three
The little fellow was crawling around his feet, shouting "Yeah" from time to time, but King Zhao was able to pick up his pen and handle official business without changing his expression.
When the little guy wants to chew King Zhao's feet, she will touch his belly. If he is hungry, she will take him out to eat the egg custard. If he is not hungry, she will take him off and continue to play.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about sending him away to be taken care of by servants, but the little guy obviously has his own ideas and likes to stay with his daddy.
When King Lie came in, he saw King Zhao handling official business and said with a smile: "Brother, what have you been doing in the palace recently? Let's go. I heard that Cuihualou has a new top singer who is very good at singing ditties. Let's go and see her."
"No, I'm busy lately."
"Busy? What are you busy with? Why are you so scared of giving birth to eight children at once? You are not my brother... Ouch!"
King Lie looked down and saw a little guy on the ground hugging his legs: "This is..."
The little guy was so soft that he didn't dare to move his feet.
King Zhao's expression immediately changed, and he said: "Take it off, don't let him chew it."
He couldn't accept having a child who loved to chew shoes.
If it was in the past, King Lie would definitely ignore it, but now...
King Lie leisurely bent down and took off his nephew from his feet, weighing him in his hand: "Don't panic, my royal brother, I have eight children like this!"
