Chapter 371 Retiring in the palace

While the Prince’s Mansion was bustling with activity, the Jixiang Garden was also busy setting up banquets.

Unexpectedly, Jiamei was sitting, and suddenly her stomach hurt.

This disturbed everyone, Chuan'er picked up Jiamei and went back to Haichuan Pavilion, followed by Qiao Mai and the others.

The housekeeper hurriedly arranged for someone to invite Mrs. Wen, and Qiao Mai directed the maid and woman to arrange the delivery room.

She took Jiamei's pulse and looked at her belly. The fetal position was normal, the baby was not fat, everything was normal, and there was no problem with the natural delivery.

Half an hour later, Grandma Wen came, and without leaving the house, Qiao Mai sat on the side holding Jiamei's hand and explained to her the things to pay attention to during the birth.

Jia Mei was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. This kind of pain really made her uncomfortable. She cried and shouted while listening to her mother-in-law and nodding her head.

Like that, don't mention how pitiful it is.

Qiao Mai sighed in her heart, there was no way, even a fairy gave birth, and she had to go through this, no one else could replace her.

Two hours later, there was a cry of a baby in the property, Jiamei gave birth to a son for the Qiao family, and half a quarter of an hour later, Jiamei gave birth to the second son for the Qiao family.

Qiao Mai held the two children in each hand, and put them on the crib that had been prepared earlier.

"Jiamei, you gave birth to two boys for the Qiao family at once, thank you for your hard work."

"This is what Camry should do"

Qiao Mai came to the bed, stroked her forehead lightly, and put a pill in her mouth.

"Take a good rest, sleep for a while, I made people cook a medicinal diet, and eat some later."

Jiamei smiled obediently at Qiao Mai, "I know mother."

Qiao Mai watched Mrs. Wen tidy up, and handed over a hundred-liang silver note, "Thank you, I'll go to the front and have a glass of wedding wine before leaving."

"Thank you princess"

The midwife left, and only Jiamei's personal maid was left in the room, so Qiao Mai got up and went out.

Looking at the people looking at her outside the door, "I gave birth to two boys, and they all went to the wedding bar in front. It's a bit cold, so I won't hold the children out."

"Haha, two boys have been born, your Qiao family has a son, haha, congratulations"

"Congratulations, congratulations, let's go. Go ahead and drink. If you don't get drunk, you won't return. No one is allowed to leave today. If you drink, you will stay at my house."

The emperor and queen of the Prince's Mansion heard that Jiamei had given birth to two babies, and immediately ran to Jixiangyuan after the banquet. They didn't dislike the **** delivery room. When they entered, they first looked at Jiamei who was sleeping soundly, and then looked at the two grandchildren. .

The two of them really became happier the more they watched, and the emperor named the two unnamed boys as county kings.

As for the title, wait until the name is given before sealing it, and first make a verbal promise before saying it. This can be regarded as a gift for the child.

On the first day of March, Jixiangyuan had a double happiness, married a daughter and got a grandson.

But the royal family, why not, marry a daughter-in-law and get grandchildren.

That night, Yuan Jiaqi, as the grandfather of the children, named them Yuan Beichen and Qiao Tianxue. These two names were named in memory of the north.

One surnamed Yuan and one surnamed Qiao, he was relieved to see that his wife had no objection.

It is said that Chuaner should have changed his surname to Qiao because he was a married man, but Qiao Mai didn’t humiliate him, and kept giving him the surname Yuan. Now that he has two boys, it would be correct if the full surname was Qiao.

Actually, it doesn't matter to Qiao Mai, it's not his blood, and the surname can be whatever.

The only person with her own blood was married. If she didn't tell, no one would know that Linger was her blood.

After the names were chosen, the emperor issued a decree. One was named the king of Chenjun and the other was named the king of Xuejun. The kings of the Qiao family were all hereditary.

I have to say that the emperor's will is special only to Fu Wang's family.

Ling'er returned home, accompanied by the crown prince. They brought several carts of gifts, some of which were for Jiamei and the child, and some of which were to honor Qiao Mai and Yuan's family.

The back door banquet was also very lively. The prince told his father-in-law and mother-in-law that he and Linger would live in the East Palace of the palace in the future.

Because the prince has to take care of the court affairs, the princess will live there to accompany him, and the prince's mansion and the East Palace can live at will.

At the same time, the old emperor was also paving the way for the prince, and drove all the ladies who had princes in the palace to the palace, which was their son's residence.

These things should have been done within a hundred years, after the crown prince ascended the throne, but he couldn't wait.

I felt that there were too many women in the harem, so I hurriedly dismissed them while he was there.

Not only these, those women in the cold palace were also dispatched to Ganye Temple to become monks or nuns. Those who have no children can leave the palace as long as they want to, and they will be given a part of money to find a place for them to retire.

Those who don’t want to go out of the palace can live in the palace for the elderly, but usually all the food and clothing expenses of the empress will be halved.

At the same time, a group of older court ladies were also released. As a result, the palace became much deserted and many palaces were left unused.

The queen was even more lazy, directly throwing the management of the entire palace to Linger.

In today's palace, it's just her and Ling'er, and there are no more women competing for favor. The old emperor learned how to keep in good health. Except for the queen, he is not close to women.

When the queen is fine, she always sighs from time to time. She gave birth to a daughter who is better than the emperor's son.

The emperor's son still wanted to fight and grab, but his daughter married a good husband's family, which not only made her sit in the back seat, but also won the exclusive favor.

Obtained a son, became a prince, and married a good daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law's natal family is extremely powerful. She doesn't have to worry about anything. She learns how to keep healthy with the emperor. This kind of life is really beautiful!

Days passed, and the weather was getting warmer and warmer. Jiamei soon gave birth to confinement, so she took the baby to Yuexian Pavilion to chat with her mother-in-law.

After finishing the arrangement of the palace, the old emperor completely handed over the government affairs to the prince. He idled all day and took the queen to Jixiangyuan, even watching the children and bringing them meals.

Occasionally, I stayed for a few days, and learned the correct way of keeping in good health from Qiao Mai.

Qiao Mai taught the two a set of boxing techniques. When they woke up every morning, they would punch once first, and then do other things.

Life is very regular, the emperor found that, not to mention the food, after living in Jixiangyuan for a few days, the body feels much better than the palace.

So he and the queen lived in Jixiang Garden for a longer time, and then they didn't want to leave, and Qiao Mai didn't chase them away.

Anyway, there are plenty of rooms, so you can stay as long as you want.

When they were free, they still sat together and discussed the tea ceremony. Qiao Mai hadn't done much research on this aspect. They also specially consulted the masters of the tea ceremony, and drank Kung Fu tea when they were free.

Seeing that the rainy season is coming again, the emperor is more worried about the river channel dug in previous years.

"My mother-in-law, the rainy season is coming soon. I am worried about the people in the south. How about asking Xian'er to take a long vacation for the family. How about we go on a tour south together?"

"Are you assured to let him take care of the government by himself?"

"There are sacred beasts protecting the country in the palace, and you have sheep and rats here, so there should be no problem in the capital, right?"

"Naturally no problem"

"Then what are you waiting for? Even though I am the king of a country, I haven't traveled around my own country yet. Why don't we take this opportunity and let's look around together. It just so happens that Rui'er has never been out of the house. Let's go together? Huh?"

The emperor looked at Qiao Mai expectantly, "You don't dare to go out alone, do you?"

"Hey, with you here, even without guards, I can rest assured."

"Okay, then no guards?"

"That won't work, no matter what, I have to be served by someone. I'm used to it. I can't let me cook by myself in the wild. I'm already old."

“It’s never bad if you don’t exercise”

"The queen brings two, and I bring two, do you and your family bring them together?"

"No, my man can do everything, so can I"

"That's it, go south in three days? Then how about we go to the north by water? I haven't seen snow yet?"

"Fine!"

Qiao Mai is really convinced by the emperor, and she is in control of everything. However, she also wants to go out to relax. She happened to travel around Daming with her husband, and then she will go to long-term retreat.

She is not planning to stay in the capital, but to return to Tianshui Town.
