Chapter 266 Qian Ni's Filial Piety
"what?"
Concubine Cen seemed to have suddenly gone blind.
"what are you saying?"
Qian Erni took a deep breath and mustered up her courage: "My parents are always thinking about having more children at home.
Unfortunately, my brothers were limited in ability and could only give birth to three or four children. Even my fourth brother only gave birth to three girls and he didn’t even have a boy yet.”
Thinking of this, Qian Erni felt very sorry for her fourth brother, and tears welled up in her eyes: "My parents scold my sisters-in-law for being useless every day.
I thought, if I can make a man give birth to a child, my fourth brother is so capable, he will definitely give birth to a boy, and then my parents will be relieved of their worries."
Qian Erni's eyes were filled with clear longing: "When my parents hear this news, they will definitely be very happy.
In the past, when sisters-in-law were pregnant and couldn’t do heavy work, parents would scold them for eating for free and not working, and told men to work outside to earn money. Sisters-in-law were lucky.
If my brothers get pregnant, they can also enjoy the benefits of Fuwowo."
As Concubine Cen listened, she felt that it made a lot of sense.
"I didn't expect you to be so filial!"
"But..." She changed the subject and insisted, "I have never heard of a man giving birth to a child."
I've never heard of it in this life or in my previous life.
Qian Erni was also very persistent and explained anxiously: "Yes, it is true, it is absolutely true, this is the palace!
The prince admitted it himself, that young man gave him a child."
Although most men cannot get pregnant, this is the royal palace. In the eyes of Qian Erni, who has never seen the world, it is like a fairyland.
Gods have great magical powers and unlimited magic, so it’s not easy for them to have children?
"Nonsense, I know all the children in the mansion, how could it be possible - wait"
Concubine Cen was shocked. All the children in the mansion had biological mothers, but that was only on the surface.
It is said that the third young master's biological mother was sent to the farm just after she completed her confinement.
But what if this is just a trick?
What if the child wasn't born by that concubine, but someone else's child was put under the name of that concubine?
The more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and Concubine Cen's face became increasingly gloomy.
The fact that Concubine Li was favored in her previous life but never had children now has a reasonable explanation. It turns out that there was someone else who was favored!
"Don't tell anyone about this. If I can find out that there is such a medicine, I will get it for you." I'll also get one for her father, because her father likes boys more.
Although she felt uncomfortable, thinking that her love would be divided if she had a younger brother in the future.
But in order to fulfill her father's wish, Concubine Cen felt that she could endure it.
"Thank you, Master!"
After hearing these words, Qian Er showed a look of delight, and immediately climbed up the pole and changed his name.
Concubine Cen glanced at her and said in a savage tone, "How many pills do you want? Is one enough?"
“The more the merrier”
Qian Erni was very greedy: "Please forgive me, my master. Everyone in my family likes children, especially boys. The more the better."
In this way, although she will not be at home in the future, she will have more nephews and nieces to help take care of the elders and make their parents happy.
I'm sure my parents will be very happy.
"Fine!"
Concubine Cen nodded. Now that the person was in her hands, she planned the next step.
"Someone, go to the main kitchen and get a bowl of soup. I want to personally deliver it to the prince!"
"Yes"
The maids outside the door immediately took action and quickly brought back a lunch box even though it was still snowing outside.
"Master, the weather is cold now, and most of the courtyards have ordered soup. The only thing left in the kitchen is soybean and pig's trotter soup. If we make it now, we will have to wait for at least a few hours."
Concubine Cen didn't care: "It's all right, take it with you!"
Qian Erni has now become a slave. She has many brothers and sisters-in-law in her family, and they have given birth to many children. She has learned a lot from what she has seen and heard.
"Isn't this soybean and pig's trotter soup good for lactation?"
The maid's expression was slightly stiff, and she explained with a stiff face: "That's why the kitchen made more."
Soybean and pig's trotter soup can increase lactation, and there are several young masters in the mansion who are still breastfeeding, so this soup is always available in the kitchen.
"Fine!"
Concubine Cen was not picky either. She put on a thick cloak and held a hot water bottle in her hand. A personal maid came forward to support her, and another smart little maid held an umbrella to block the snow.
He asked a maid to carry the soup and follow behind, and several other maids followed him. The group walked towards the front yard in a mighty manner.
Before leaving, he told Qian Erni: "You stay in the yard and don't let her go out." The second half of the sentence was said to other people.
Qian Erni had just been to the palace a few days ago. If she ran away, who knows who she would meet!

Osmanthus Courtyard
Ever since being forbidden to dance by King Zhao, Ji Yunqing could only sit in front of the window and sew frantically.
It's really speechless. In my previous life, I was a student rushing to complete homework and worked like a horse to catch up with the progress. Now that I'm someone's concubine, I can't sit idle either.
Really annoying!
Xiuqiu sat sideways on the other side, also holding a needle and thread in her hands, and whispered to comfort her master who looked unhappy:
"Master, you have already done most of it. You will definitely be able to finish it in a few days!"
Ji Yunqing looked at her dimly: "At the beginning you said that you could finish it in half a month!"
Hydrangea: “…”
Master, don’t you think about what you do every day?
She plays the piano, dances, paints, and practices calligraphy from time to time. When she's in the mood, she has a little boy to amuse herself with, so why would she want to do needlework?
She patiently advised:
"Master, this is the easiest way."
The dress made by Ji Yunqing has colorful fabric, but actually has no embroidery at all.
Xiuqiu watched helplessly as her master changed the clothes from something that could be worn outside to "just casual clothes that could be worn privately".
Now, "My craft should be suitable for wearing as pajamas, right?"
The specifications are getting lower and lower, it's unbelievable.
After patiently working for a while, Ji Yunqing, who had run out of patience, wanted to stop again. Nanny An, who was passing by, sighed inadvertently:
"Master, you did a great job. If you are patient and work hard, I'm afraid you can finish it in three more days."
...Then let’s do it for a while longer!
As the sky gradually darkened, Ji Yunqing stretched himself and finally ended a day of hard work.
She stood by the window and looked out. The snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger. Wouldn't it be beautiful to dance in the snow when it was snowing heavily?
Well, actually she dances really well!
Hemerocallis had already swiftly taken the lunch box and heated up the food on the stove in the compartment.
I have to say, this iron stove that the master had someone make is really easy to use. It produces very little smoke and is very warm.
Just be careful not to touch it with your hands.
Thinking this, Daylily picked a few green onions from the flowerpot next to her, cut them into sections and garnished the hot meal.
"Master, it's time to eat!"
