Chapter 130 Mei Zhuang and Son
Shen Meizhuang is content now that she has a son. Although Hongjun is weak, he has been smart since childhood.
Shen Meizhuang suffered a lot when she was pregnant with Hongjun. This child was born with great difficulty.
No matter how much Shen Meizhuang loves him, it’s never enough.
And since the child was born, the emperor has loved him very much.
Not only did he often personally inquire about Hongjun's health.
Hongjun was so ill that the emperor had to come and accompany him.
Shen Meizhuang also worked hard to win the emperor's favor. Although in the palace it is said that a mother is honored by her son, it is also true that a son is honored by his mother.
The more favored I am, the better Hongjun's future will be.
I have to say that Hongjun is indeed a fast learner.
As far as Huimin knew, this child could speak earlier than the other princes.
Huimin and Shen Meizhuang have a good personal relationship, and Hongyao and Hongjun are born with a small time difference.
Huimin and Shen Meizhuang also often take their children out for walks.
The emperor likes to see brothers being friendly and respectful to each other, and he is very satisfied with their actions.
The two children were placed on the bed, and Huimin and Shen Meizhuang just looked at the children and chatted.
Hongjun was in poor health and seldom met strangers. Shen Meizhuang was worried that it would be bad for him to stay in the house too often, so she felt more at ease having Hongjun playing with her.
Seeing Huimin bringing Hongyao here today, Shen Meizhuang also came early to greet them.
"Min'er, you came early today."
"Mei Zhuang, the Eighth Prince is up. Hong Yao has been asking for his younger brother since early morning. Look, he has come to bother you so early."
After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang laughed even more happily.
"The two brothers are so in tune with each other. Hongjun is thinking about his brother even in his dreams."
"This child is not in good health and rarely goes out. I dare not let him have much contact with strangers. Every day he is surrounded by familiar eunuchs and palace maids. Only his brother Hongyao plays with him."
Shen Meizhuang's words were sincere. In fact, some palace concubines also felt that the Eighth Prince was weak and unlucky. They were afraid that their children would get sick, so they did not want their children to have contact with Hongjun.
Just like Cao Qinmo, she wished Wen Yi would stay away from Hongjun.
But Huimin knew that Hongjun had a weakness from birth, and it was not an infectious disease, so it would not be contagious to other children.
Hongyao also needs someone of the same age to be with. In the future, when he goes to the study or something like that, he will also need a familiar brother to accompany him.
And Hongjun was a good choice. Hongqing himself was suffering from dementia, and the other princes in the palace were either too old or being kept in the Old Summer Palace.
Huimin also forced a smile to smooth over what Shen Meizhuang had said.
"Hongyao and Hongjun are brothers, and we sisters entered the palace together. With mother's love, how can they not have a good relationship?"
Shen Meizhuang felt even more comforted after hearing Huimin's words. Yes, she and Min'er had such a good relationship.
Shen Meizhuang looked at Huimin, who was smiling and talking, and said with emotion:
"Luckily, we have you and Huan'er in this palace. The three of us sisters are together, so we don't feel lonely in the Forbidden City. If I were alone, I don't know what to do."
Speaking of Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Recently, the Emperor has been favoring Concubine Jin and has been somewhat neglecting Zhen Huan.
She has been depressed these days and seems to be at odds with the emperor.
In fact, Shen Meizhuang was somewhat dissatisfied with the half month that Concubine Jin was favored alone, but later the emperor also went to someone else.
The place he could go was Zhang Changzai, who was recommended by Concubine Jin.
What? The harem became the world of her Ulanara clan.
Usually the emperor favors only one person, and the empress dowager also advises her.
But this favorite concubine was a woman from the Ulanara clan, so the empress dowager fell ill and did not say a word.
Fortunately, after a month, the emperor must have gotten a little bored, so he went to Concubine Qi's place, and a relatively balanced situation was restored.
But when the emperor went to Suiyuxuan to find Zhen Huan again, Zhen Huan started to act out in a bad mood towards him.
It’s nothing that the emperor dotes on her.
But if this continues, it will always cause dissatisfaction from the emperor.
When Shen Meizhuang found out, she couldn't help but worry about her.
Huimin came to see her today, and Shen Meizhuang wanted to discuss with Huimin and persuade Zhen Huan.
Huimin guessed what Shen Meizhuang meant, so she avoided answering and instead looked at the two princes who were having fun on the bed.
Hongjun was very happy. He clapped his hands, laughed and called his brother.
Huimin looked at her own Hongyao, who actually loved his younger brother. When she saw his younger brother trying to stand up but accidentally fell down, she went to hug him, but he was not strong enough and they fell on the bed together.
They were both confused, but the bed didn't hurt, so Huimin wasn't worried.
Watching the children's interaction, Huimin had something in mind.
"Look at them. They didn't cry even after falling down. They were laughing."
"My children..."
Shen Meizhuang was worried that the two children would hurt themselves, and was slightly stunned when she heard Huimin say that.
"Yes, they are having a great time. Let's go and get the two kids. Otherwise they will be unhappy."
By the way, how you feel is your own feeling. If you worry too much about it, you might end up making things worse.
She shouldn't interfere in how Zhen Huan and the Emperor get along.
Shen Meizhuang figured it out and put her mind at ease.
Huimin saw that she had figured it out and hinted at something.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Although we, as mothers, care about them, it is not good to interfere too much."
"Hongjun, isn't it?"
As Huimin spoke, she did not forget to call Hongjun.
The child was smart, and when he heard someone calling him, he let out a cry.
Seeing that it was Huimin, he knew that this was Hongyao's mother, and he shouted happily:
"Salty, brewed, mother."
Seeing Hongjun like this, Shen Meizhuang also smiled.
He smiled as if relieved from a heavy burden. Yes, in the palace, this would be his support for the next life.
The most important thing is to take good care of Hongjun.
Shen Meizhuang thought it through more thoroughly and was grateful to Huimin.
"You still live thoroughly."
Huimin did not respond to this comment and only said:
"No, it's just a loving mother's heart. After all, I carried this baby for ten months and went through many hardships to give birth to it. Mei Zhuang must understand this very well."
"We who have entered the palace, if we want to leave in the future, we have to think about our sons leaving the palace to build their own houses, and then be taken out of the palace to be raised in glory like the concubines of the previous emperor."
Speaking of leaving the palace, Shen Meizhuang's face showed some hope.
"Yeah, it's been a long time since I last saw the glory days."
"No matter how beautiful the Forbidden City is, looking at it every day is too..."
Shen Meizhuang paused and changed her words, "Too familiar, too familiar..."
"Day after day, life is so familiar and scary."
After hearing what Shen Meizhuang said, Huimin knew that she couldn't say anything further, so she took the initiative to change the subject.
"How come it's the same day after day? Look at us brothers, we are different every day, and our lives are changing too."
Shen Meizhuang looked at her son and also felt motivated. She smiled and said:
"Yes, there is still some hope. Our Hongjun and Hongyao will be waiting for us when we leave the palace in the future."
Both of them understood each other tacitly and kept the words deep in their hearts. There was no need to make it clear that some things just needed to be understood by everyone.
