Chapter 284: Bringing Concubine Shun Home
Speaking of which, Concubine Shun and Zhao Huaiyuan, mother and son, have lived in the Princess's mansion for a long time. Song Qingwan has only visited them a few times occasionally. Now that the emperor has passed away, the Princess must have a lot of things to deal with, and she probably has no time to take care of Concubine Shun and son.
That's why Song Qingwan wanted to bring them to Prince Huai's Mansion. Besides, Zhao Youan had never seen his grandmother since he was born, so now was the time.
Song Qingwan quickly wrote a letter and asked Chunya to deliver it to the Princess's Mansion and hand it over to Concubine Shun that day.
After receiving Song Qingwan's letter, Concubine Shun was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Of course, she wanted to return to Prince Huai's Mansion, which was her son's residence.
In the Princess's Mansion, although people were very kind to her and Huaiyuan, they were, after all, living under someone else's roof, and it was not good to keep bothering others.
"Go back and report to your master. I will inform Jiayi tomorrow and take Huaiyuan back with me."
"Yes, your concubine."
After Chunya left, Concubine Shun couldn't wait to tell Zhao Huaiyuan the good news, but Zhao Huaiyuan was not as happy as he had imagined.
He and his sister have been playing together for a long time these days, and they have a deep relationship, so naturally they don't want to be separated.
"Mother, Huaiyuan, can you stay here?"
"Why Huaiyuan? Is it because you can't bear to leave your sister?"
Zhao Huaiyuan nodded heavily, and Concubine Shun sighed helplessly. Blood relationship is really a wonderful thing.
Zhao Huaiyuan and the little princess had been separated since birth, but after meeting again, they were no different from siblings who had grown up together. They stuck to each other and were very affectionate all day long.
Looking at Zhao Huaiyuan's pleading eyes, Concubine Shun's heart softened, and she couldn't help feeling distressed at this moment.
What should they do? Should they live here forever?
At this moment, a servant came to report that the eldest princess had returned, and Concubine Shun hurriedly took Huaiyuan out to greet her.
The eldest princess was covered in dust and looked exhausted. It was obvious that she was exhausted these days.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that Qing Wan's people came here, but is there anything wrong?"
"You came at the perfect time. I was just about to discuss this with you. Qingwan wants me to take Huaiyuan back to Prince Huai's mansion. What do you think, Jiayi?"
"Oh?"
The eldest princess nodded in understanding, without any surprise on her face. She knew that Song Qingwan would do this sooner or later.
At this time, Zhao Huaiyuan stepped forward, grabbed the eldest princess' sleeve and shook it gently.
The eldest princess touched Zhao Huaiyuan's head with a loving look, squatted down and asked softly.
"Huaiyuan, do you have anything to say to your aunt?"
"Huaiyuan doesn't want to go to his brother's house. Huaiyuan wants to be with his sister."
After Zhao Huaiyuan finished speaking, he let go of the little hand that was holding the eldest princess' sleeve, lowered his head as if he had done something wrong, and waited quietly for the eldest princess's reaction.
The eldest princess smiled softly at the child's anxious look, then reached out a hand and ruffled his hair.
"Huaiyuan, are you willing to live with your aunt in this princess's mansion forever?"
"What about mother? Is she coming too?"
"Of course your mother can't. Your sister-in-law gave birth to a little nephew for you, and you haven't seen him yet? Naturally you have to go and see him."
"Then the Princess Mansion will be Huaiyuan's home from now on, right?"
"Yes, in this case you will have to leave with your mother, and then be with your aunt, and of course your sister. Are you willing?"
"What if Huaiyuan misses his mother?"
"You can go back to the palace to have a look, but it seems that you will have to come back here in the future."
Zhao Huaiyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned around to look at Concubine Shun and found that Concubine Shun was looking at him with encouragement.
Zhao Huaiyuan turned back to face the eldest princess and nodded heavily.
"Huaiyuan is willing."
"Well, tomorrow my aunt will send someone to send your mother to Prince Huai's mansion, and from now on you will be with your sister and aunt."
A smile appeared on the eldest princess' brows, and a relieved expression appeared on her face. She then took Zhao Huaiyuan's hand tightly and stood up.
"Thank you sister-in-law for giving up the child with great reluctance. I will raise this child well."
"Jiayi, why are you so polite? Huaiyuan lost his mother when he was born. It is his blessing to be favored by you."
On the next morning, the princess sent someone to pack up Concubine Shun's things, and then had someone drive a horse-drawn carriage to take Concubine Shun to Prince Huai's mansion.
At this time, at the gate of Prince Huai's mansion, Song Qingwan was waiting at the gate with a group of servants. When they saw Concubine Shun's carriage turning the corner, A Rong shouted in surprise.
"Here it comes, here it comes, the imperial concubine's carriage is here!"
Soon, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Prince Huai's Mansion. Song Qingwan went up, lifted the curtain, and spoke to the people in the carriage.
"Welcome home, mother."
Concubine Shun walked out of the carriage with a smile on her face, held Song Qingwan's hand and stood at the door of Prince Huai's mansion. She looked at the plaque at the door with emotion on her face.
"I never thought I could live in my son's home in my lifetime. It's really God's blessing."
"Mother has been wronged these days. Please go in and have a rest. You'an is still waiting for you."
When Concubine Shun heard her grandson's name, her eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to walk into the palace.
Everyone followed him into the palace. A Rong walked at the end, closed the door, and went to the backyard with everyone else.
At this time, Zhao Youan was playing with a rattle in the flower hall. This rattle was brought back for him by Chunya when she went to the street to buy vegetables the day before. The child loved it very much.
"You'an, is this You'an? He looks exactly like Jin'er when she was a child, white and chubby."
As Concubine Shun spoke, she walked forward and held Zhao Youan in her arms. Zhao Youan was not shy and smiled innocently.
Song Qingwan sensitively caught the words in Concubine Shun's words, and she asked with some suspicion.
"Mother, what you mean is that Jin was also this fat when he was little?"
"Of course! When Jin'er was young, he was even fatter than You'an. I remember that I couldn't hold him when he was less than one year old."
After saying that, Concubine Shun turned around and continued to tease Zhao Youan. The grandfather and grandson had a lot of fun playing together.
But Song Qingwan gave up her grumbling in her heart. It turned out that this fat son inherited his father's fatness? Although she didn't know how Zhao Huaijin lost weight, it was really not a good thing for this boy to be fat all the time.
Well... Song Qingwan is a doctor, so she naturally knows that being too obese during a boy's adolescence will affect the growth and development of certain parts of his body. So should she control her fat son's diet?
However, thinking about how thin Zhao Huaijin was now, and that there seemed to be no problem with the size of a certain part of his body, Song Qingwan felt that she must be overthinking it.
I guess this child will get thinner when she grows up. Otherwise, how can she find a wife and give her a grandson in the future?
