Returning to Before Husband’s Castration - Chapter 203
When Wei Caiwei came to the palace to diagnose Li Jiubao’s pulse, Wei Caiwei saw a lot of kites floating in the inner garden. A group of beauties were laughing and playing, and all of them looked as good as Li Jiubao. It seemed that the palace had newly recruited a group of concubines to open With branches scattered and leaves, now King Yu is the de facto prince, and both the Ministry of Households and the patriarchal mansion are rushing to please. Unlike Yan Shifan back then, which deducted salaries and silvers, the Royal Mansion was rich in wealth and was able to raise many beauties. Princess Yu pawned jewelry to support the facade.
King Yu is like a diligent old scalper, constantly ploughing and sowing in various fields. He doesn’t know that the field will be able to bear fruit, so he will cultivate as many plots as possible. Now a pair of children is far from enough, just in case. If he dies, he will have no heirs, so the more children the better.
In theory, as the de facto prince of a country, King Yu should learn to handle government affairs. This is true of all the princes of the past dynasties. But the older the Jiajing emperor, the more susceptible he got sicker. To guard against his only son, Wang Yu didn’t even dare to do politics. He had nothing to do all day, reading during the day and working hard at night.
Li Jiubao’s second daughter only had half a day from the start to the birth. The birth went smoothly and the mother and daughter were safe, but the process of pregnancy was very difficult. She suffered from morning sickness and chickenpox, and her body was very weak.
Wei Caiwei wants Li Jiubao to have a good health, and it is best not to get pregnant again within two years. As a result, Li Jiubao held them for three years.
Although Ximai was diagnosed, Wei Caiwei was not happy and reminded her politely: “It is important for the concubine to take care of your body. You still have a pair of children, and the road ahead is still long.”
It means that if yours is alive and well, if you die, you are really giving birth to someone else.
Li Jiubao lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, and whispered: “I have not forgotten Dr. Wei’s instructions, try not to get close to the prince, but the prince has to come to me… I can’t refuse the prince.”
Wang Yu felt that Li Jiubao’s land was the best and it was growing well, so he ploughed it frequently. Although Li Jiubao was promoted to a concubine and gave birth to a pair of children, in the eyes of Wang Yu, she was no different from a woman in the palace, just giving birth. Tool-a useful tool.
What is the use of fertility tools besides having children?
If Li Jiubao has difficulty in giving birth, Wang Yu will not hesitate to injure the mother and protect the child.
Moreover, no one would think that there was anything wrong with Wang Yu doing this.
Regarding this, Wei Caiwei was helpless, she was pregnant, and she had to tell her to treat her body and not to touch anything outside-after the incident of Guanyin, Prince Yu did not allow Li Wei to enter the palace to visit Li Jiubao.
Wei Caiwei was sent away, and the nurse came in with her second sister who had just woke up. The little girl was white and sturdy, and she opened her arms to hug her when she saw her mother.
The second sister’s hair was also cut by Wei Caiwei, and her sons and daughters hadn’t been given a name or title, so they were kept in the palace in such a low-key manner.
Li Jiubao hugged her daughter and kissed her, and the soft ball was in her arms, which made people love her. However, she was still cruel and returned to the nanny, “You take her to the garden to play, I have something else.”
Li Jiubao heard his daughter’s babble disappearing at the door, went to the study, opened the desk and read half of the book, and from time to time he held up a pen to make transcripts. The handwriting was quite different from when he first entered the palace.
How can Israel serve people for long? Li Jiubao, whom everyone envy, has always had a deep sense of crisis. She is not reconciled to being just a bed tool. Other concubines learn to play the piano, sing, dance, massage, and all kinds of gentle little things. Li Jiubao has never stopped reading and practicing calligraphy.
She doesn’t know the use of learning these, but it’s better than doing nothing, being a pet that has been kept by people, and having a muddled life.
Born as a bricklayer in a slum, the only reading book in Li Jiubao’s family is an almanac. Her childhood sweetheart neighbor, Broker Chen, taught her to recognize all the words in the almanac, and be able to keep accounts and understand the contract.
Give her a book of sages and sages. Most of the words in the book can’t be understood, let alone the meaning. Li Jiubao was in the palace for six years, the child was born with one child, and the book was slowly gnawed, plus the guidance of a famous teacher. Now I can at least understand the meaning of the decree on the “Di Bao”.
“Li Fangfei, Mr. Zhang has sent a new copybook.” The maid hugged a stack of copybooks.
“Get it here quickly.” Li Jiubao smiled, which is more precious than the clothes and jewellery given by King Yu and Princess Yu. Mr. Zhang is called Zhang Juzheng, a native of Jingzhou, Hubei. He was born in a dignified two-ranked scholarship. He is a division of the Imperial College and has many students. He is also a lecturer in the Royal Palace of Yu.
Li Jiubao came from a humble background and was almost semi-illiterate. She worked hard to make progress and respected people with knowledge. During her self-study, Zhang Juzheng was instructed by Zhang Juzheng and she made rapid progress.
Therefore, when Xiaohuangsun was only three years old, Li Jiubao strongly recommended Zhang Juzheng to King Yu and read to Xiaohuangsun Kaimeng. Zhang Juzheng did his best to Xiaohuangsun, even drawing and making picture books by himself, entertaining and enlightening Xiaohuangsun,
Xiaohuangsun is only four years old this year, knows thousands of words, and can read by himself.
Li Jiubao opened Zhang Juzheng’s copybook, which was a template written by him, and asked Xiaohuangsun to follow it in red.
Li Jiubao attaches great importance to the education of the eldest son. She took the copybook and sent it to Xiaohuangsun’s study to urge her son to practice handwriting, but found that the study was empty, and only the **** who was studying with him was cleaning the brush used by Xiaohuangsun.
“Where is Sanlang?” Li Jiubao sneered. At this hour, my son woke up from a nap and had a great time reading under the window.
The **** hurriedly replied: “The princess just now led the kite to fly.”
In the back garden of the Prince Yu’s mansion, far away, I heard my son’s laughter and was very happy.
The little emperor is too young to fly kites. There are big butterflies, centipedes, beauties, big fishes and other kites flying in the sky. The kites are all set by maids and eunuchs. It is very lively.
There is a lawn in the garden with green grass like a piece of jasper with various bunting flags and holes. Princess Yu handed a stick with a bent bottom to the little emperor’s grandson and taught him to beat a pill.
The rules of beating **** are very similar to those of later generations of golf. It is called a “hammer” by hitting an egg-sized ball into a hole in the lawn and hitting it repeatedly.
Concubine Yu put a beating pill at the feet of Xiaohuangsun, pointing to the nearest hole with red flags in it, “You use this stick to poke the pill into the hole and you win.”
Concubine Yu pointed and waved the stick in her hand vainly.
Four-year-old children do not like to play, Xiaohuangsun followed the way of Princess Yu, swinging into a hole in one stroke.
“Come in! Wang Hao, I scored!” Xiao Huangsun cheered holding the stick.
Princess Yu ordered someone to put down another ball and pointed to a hole with a red flag a little further away, “You try this again.”
Xiao Huangsun was so excited to swing again. This time he used too much force and was in the wrong direction. The small ball and the red flag passed by, and then rolled uphill, then downhill, until he reached his knees with an eggplant pattern and water ripples. Stop before the woven golden horse skirt.
The smile on Xiaohuangsun’s face disappeared when he saw his mother and concubine Li Jiubao, and the wooden stick in his hand fell.
Li Jiubao came over and saluted Princess Yu.
Concubine Yu helped Li Jiubao up personally, “You are pregnant again. Take care of your body. Our hopes from Prince Yu’s Mansion are all on your belly. It’s windy today, so why didn’t you come out if you didn’t rest in the house?”
Li Jiubao said: “I went to the study in the afternoon to see how Saburo was writing. Who knows that Saburo is not there, I will come out to look for him.”
Li Jiubao said while looking at his son who was skipping class.
Little Emperor Sun knew that he was wrong, couldn’t bear the gaze of his mother and concubine, and instinctively hid behind Princess Yu.
Princess Yu stretched out her hand and touched Xiaohuangsun’s head to show her comfort, and smiled: “I asked him to come out, thinking that he likes kites. Today is a good weather for kites. He saw me beating a pill. Curious, I taught him a few times, it was not his fault, it was I who delayed his study.”
How dare Li Jiubao accuse Princess Yu, and quickly said: “Why is the princess entertaining and learning?”
Seeing the maid behind Li Jiubao holding a stack of copybooks, Princess Yu said: “Don’t push your child too hard. At his age, he needs to sleep more and run and sunbathe when he is growing up, in order to be healthy. Nothing is more important than Jiankang.”
“What’s more, Saburo knew a few thousand characters when he was only four years old, and he could read to me. The children of the scholarly family are not as good as him. He has already learned very well. People like us don’t expect him to be the champion in the future. When you’re tired of studying, let him go out to play and combine work and rest.”
Concubine Yu said that Li Jiubao, as a side room, could only listen, and did not dare to refute, “Yes.”
Li Jiubao came from the bottom, she hoped that her son would receive the best education, read the books of sages, and be close to the virtuous ministers.
As Princess Yu, who has given up childbirth, it is most important for the little emperor Sun Jian to live healthy and healthy. As the aunt, the prosperous descendants of Prince Yu’s mansion are all her credit. She doesn’t mind that Xiaohuangsun is shallow and mediocre-mediocre talents are easy to control.
Besides, children love to play by nature. A mother who is forced to study all day, and a mother who “saves” him out of heavy schoolwork to play, who do the children like better?
Li Jiubao has a natural kindness, and she will never be able to match it, only nourishment can contend with it.
Princess Yu pointed to the pavilion next to him, “Go over there and rest. I will teach Saburo to play a few balls, and it will not be too late for you to take him away.”
“Yes.” Li Jiubao retreated to the pavilion docilely, sitting in the windproof drapery, watching his son and the princess beating a pill.
Li Jiubao slowly stroked his unbelievable lower abdomen. Princess Yu obviously wanted to intervene in her son’s education, bring her son close to her, and renounce her biological mother. As the princess, she also has the right to do so.
But Li Jiubao is really unwilling to be just a fertility tool, endure the pain of several births, and give birth to a son for the princess! She was pregnant in October, and once she gave birth, she couldn’t recover after a month of confinement. It took her at least a year to give birth to a child.
She has given so much, but she is just a surrogate mother who can be abandoned at any time, just like a pill, she was punched in the hole, and there are many pill hoping to be beaten.
