C148 Love your daughter like her life
Shen Jiazhen's child was older than the first few months. He had already walked around steadily, but it was just that Shen Qi had yet to see him.
This was also the first time they had met, so Shen Qi naturally had to express her feelings.
Knowing that the Crown Prince had brought the County Lord to the Palace, the Shang Shu Manor was already prepared for him. Right now, the entire place was under the care of the Chui, with Xia Ying assisting by the side, the Lady Xu was no longer in charge.
Currently, out of the three daughters, the one who was the most unhappy was the one she doted on the most.
The Fifth Prince's body was weak, and had almost exhausted all of Shen Fei's energy. She was also secretly anxious in her heart, but was truly helpless as she could only watch on helplessly, unable to even comfort her daughter. Once she entered the palace, where would her freedom lie?
The thing that he couldn't bear to see was that he had neglected her. Even if Shen Qi hadn't returned to the capital yet, everything about her had already spread throughout the capital. Not only did he not lose his favor because he was born with a daughter, the empress dowager and the emperor both paid special attention to him.
But it just had to exist. Not only did it bestow the title of princess early, it also had a very auspicious title. This was enough to make people jealous.
To a princess, a county or two was already a boundless favor. Princess Changning actually had three counties, and all of them were fertile lands. There wasn't even a prince in the palace that could receive such treatment, yet he had given her a princess.
If a person's life depended on it, she had no choice but to say that her third daughter was truly lucky. Her father, brother, and the prince doted on her. Now, she had become famous in front of both the empress dowager and the emperor with a daughter that was very similar to Prince Duanren.
This kind of luck was something that others would be jealous of. If her eldest daughter also had this kind of luck, how great would it be! Sometimes, she thought to herself that giving her daughter's beauty to the eldest daughter wouldn't have to suffer so much.
So when Lady Xu saw Shen Qi, he looked at her with a strange expression, which made Shen Qi's hair stand on end. Why do you look at me so strangely?
In the past, he had completely disregarded her existence. But now, being stared at passionately like this caused Shen Qi to feel uncomfortable all over, and taking advantage of the opportunity while he was hugging his daughter, he walked to the side of the Prince, allowing the Prince to block the view of the Lady Xu for her.
Shen Weiyuan had been waiting for them to come since early in the morning, and Chui and Xia Ying also came out with smiles on their faces. The first thing they wanted to see was when she hugged them in her arms, the little girl had just woken up and was still in a daze.
Just as they were about to come over and greet their daughter, Duke Xian stopped them. He indicated to Shen Qi with his hand that they should not disturb his daughter.
Chui and the others were immediately left speechless. It was true that the rumors about the king making his beloved daughter his life were true, but they never thought that such a stern and cold person would be so meticulous in front of his daughter.
Shen Qi smiled at them, "She has just woken up, she is probably feeling a little uncomfortable, let's go in."
Chui and the rest nodded their heads, even the sound of their footsteps had become a lot softer, causing Shen Qi who was watching from the side to feel helpless.
After entering, he ordered the servant to bring water over, and Shen Qi helped him to wipe his face. As expected, he became more clear-headed, and suddenly realised that she was in a unfamiliar environment, and was still in a daze. She looked at the scene in front of her with a perplexed gaze, causing Shen Qi to be covered in blood.
"Look at the beginning, we're all from the Outer Ancestor's house. They all like you." Shen Qi smiled and talked to her.
He discovered that his mother and father were present. Those people who were looking at her also had a face full of smiles, so he gave them a smile.
"Princess, are you hungry? Get someone to bring her some egg soup. " Xia Ying smiled and asked softly.
Shen Qi waved her hand, "Don't worry, she ate quite a bit when she came, she should still be full now." As she said that, she reached out to touch her belly. It was still round as expected. She couldn't help but giggle when her mother touched her belly at the beginning. Now, she was completely awake.
Seeing her smile, the others couldn't help but laugh as well, "How many teeth does she have?" The Chui asked with a smile.
"Four, top two, bottom two." Shen Qi laughed.
When Xi Geer was her age, he only grew two. At that time, I was afraid there was still a problem. When speaking of children, Xia Ying had a common language.
It was only then that Shen Qi realized she had not seen the child, "Where's Xi Geer?"
"He should still be in the Old Ancestor's room. He still hasn't woken up when I come out." Xia Ying smiled.
"Then we should also go to see the Old Ancestor. We should also take the early stages to pay our respects to the Old Ancestor." Shen Qi said with a face full of smiles.
At this time, Shen Weiyuan led Shen Jia Yao and Shen Jiazhen to accompany Duke Yuan. Originally, Shen Weiyuan thought that Duke Yuan would not go over, but after hearing Shen Qi's words, he stood up too, and walked over to Shen Qi's side, reaching for his daughter.
Shen Qi also passed his daughter over with a natural look on her face. The people behind him couldn't help but look at her with a glint in their eyes, thinking that this wasn't the first time they had seen her do this.
As for the Canton Princess, she was not afraid of King Duanren's stern face. Not only was she not afraid, but she was also happy. She even waved her arms excitedly within King Duanren's bosom, making a "dada" sound as if she was calling for someone.
She had been like this for a while. At the beginning, Shen Qi had thought that she was calling him daddy, but after so long, it had always been a da, letting Shen Qi know that she was pronouncing it the same way.
However, King Xian was very happy. He thought his daughter was calling him daddy, so when the voice was first heard, people noticed that his expression became gentler. Even the curve of his lips became a lot more pronounced.
Chui and Xia Ying, who were standing behind them, looked at each other. This kind of Emperor Duan was really eye-opener for them. Let alone the two of them, even Shen Weiyuan and Shen Jiazhen were extremely surprised.
Now that he saw this, he was completely relieved. Although he had heard the rumors in the outside world, they were only rumors after all. He did not feel relieved to not see them with his own eyes.
Moreover, Duke Xiang was not young anymore, and had been empty since then. In fact, they had always been worried for Shen Qi, afraid that if she gave birth to a daughter, they would be ignored by the Duke.
Everything else was fine, but if the Prince or the empress dowager used this as an excuse to marry or arrange a room for King Duanren, they would have no grounds to refute. At that time, how would Shen Qi even know what to do?
When they found out that Shen Qi was pregnant, they were still rejoicing. Fortunately, they were in the Guanbei, far away from the emperor, so even if the empress dowager had any ideas, she wouldn't be able to control the Guanbei.
When they heard that Shen Qi had given birth to a daughter, they also broke out in a cold sweat for her, but they quickly calmed down a little. This was because Duke Xiang's attitude of importance was also due to the performance of the emperor and empress dowager.
Xiao Qi will always be happy, even if it's to compensate her, the heavens should let her be happy.
They did not know that when Lady Xu saw this scene, his eyes were even more reddened. If only he gave this to eldest daughter!
When Shen Qi's group arrived at the Old Ancestor's courtyard, there were already Mother Fang waiting outside. When they saw the esteemed wangfei, they immediately went forward to pay their respects with a smile.
"This old servant pays his respects to the princess consort."
Shen Qi supported him and said with a smile: "Mother Fang does not need to be so courteous, has the Old Ancestor been well all along?"
Mother Fang replied with a face full of smiles: "Alright, everything is fine.
Shen Qi nodded her head with a smile and then followed her in. When the old lady saw that Duke Yuan and his wife had come over together, she immediately got up to greet them, but was stopped by Shen Qi, "The Old Ancestor has already decided to kill us all. His Highness has just come over to take a look.
The old lady smiled even more sincerely. "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back." He then looked at the body in King Xian's arms. "This is Princess Changning, what a good child!"
Shen Qi hugged Chu Feng, "Chu Feng, this is your great-grandmother."
Chu Feng smiled at the old lady, giving her a great deal of face. Just as she was about to reach out to hug her, he remembered the princess' identity and retracted his hand.
After Shen Qi saw this, she smiled and passed Chu Chu Mu over. "Let your great-grandmother hug you, you should also be blessed."
The Old Granny immediately extended her hand to catch it with a bright smile. "But I don't dare. It must be that we benefited from the princess' good fortune."
At this time, the child next to the old lady walked over and looked at Chu Feng seriously, "Sister, I'll give it to you to eat." As he spoke, he handed the dessert in his hand to Chu Yu.
This was the son of Shen Jiazhen and Xia Ying. A one-year-old Xi Geer, who looked the same as Shen Jiazhen, who was cut from the same grindstone, also had a serious face and a little girl dressed in an adult's attire with a straight face. At this time, he also had the demeanor of a big brother, and voluntarily gave his snacks to his little sister.
Shen Qi was very happy when she saw it, she squatted down and looked at him, "How did Xi Geer know that this is a little sister?"
Xi Geer was not afraid, seeing Shen Qi's smiling face, he nodded and pointed to the beginning, "Little sister, mother says, little sister." This meant that his mother told him that this was her little sister.
Xia Ying explained with a smile, "I told him yesterday that I was going to have a little sister today. I told him not to bully her when the time comes, but he still remembers."
"Xi Geer is so smart!" Shen Qi laughed as she praised.
Xi Geer knew that Shen Qi was praising him, and he pursed his lips in embarrassment. Although his expression did not change, his ears were slightly red, almost turning Shen Qi into a wolf.
After having the initial stage, she had a bad taste. She especially liked to tease these little guys and see their adorable appearance.
Xi Geer looked at Shen Qi, and then passed the dim sum in her hand to the beginning, "Give it to little sister." "No," he said.
"Give it to her." Shen Qi pushed him forward, and encouraged him.
Xi Geer reached out his hand to the front, "Delicious!" he said, as if to seduce the beginnings.
This was the first time in her life that she had seen a child who was about the same age as her. She was immediately interested, and instead of taking the snacks Xi Geer gave her, she passed the one in her hand over. This was her way of expressing her love.
Xi Geer was a little helpless. He looked at Shen Qi and then at Xia Ying, not knowing what to do.
Xia Ying smiled and said, "I only gave it to you because I like you, sister."
Xi Geer was immediately happy, "I like it." He even smiled at Chu Yu, then took a small bite from his hand and pushed the rest to her, "Sister, eat."
The adults watched the two kids interact and did not interfere with them. Seeing that they liked it, the old lady put on the prepared gift for Chu Feng, a string of rosewood bracelet, polished very meticulously, "This is for the Guang Ze Temple where we asked the Master Guang Yun to open it for us. It's safe."
