Chapter 1097: Being a ox for a child

"Congratulations!" Cao Yong had no choice but to congratulate him after hearing the news.

It seems that the Sixteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince have a very good relationship. Last year, the Sixteenth Prince only gave birth to a young princess. It took only a year and a half to get pregnant again.

The Sixteenth Concubine is about the same age as the Sixteenth Prince and is also a thirty-year-old. In this world where women were married in their teens, they are already considered middle-aged.

The wife of a powerful family, when she reaches this age, often has to bear the sorrow of watching her husband pamper her young concubines, and starts to stay alone in the empty room, eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's place for the next life.

However, the Sixteenth Concubine won the day when the couple supported each other through more than ten years of hard work.

It can be seen that the Sixteenth Prince was really happy and said happily: "I hope to add a little prince. If my children are in pairs, it is just a word 'good'. If it is a little princess, it doesn't matter, it will be reborn in the future."

There are two princes in the palace, one princess, and one is already a half-good. However, it is obvious that the "good" mentioned by the Sixteenth Prince obviously refers to the legitimate son and daughter of the Sixteenth Prince.

In the palace of the princess, the princesses was no longer the daughter of the sixteenth prince. Among the three children of the princesses, only the fourth princess who landed last year was born in the 16th princesses.

Looking at the sixteenth prince like this, Cao Yong was a little stunned.

In this way, it seems that he has given up treating Hongpu as his heir. If Hongpu was young and his mind was immature, he would not know the impact of this change on his life. Hongpu is now twelve years old, a half-girl, and has been spoiled for these years.

If the father and son are not dealt with well, they will turn against each other.

Cao Yong and the Sixteenth Prince have been friends for many years and know that he looks casual but actually has a strong sense of feelings.

No matter how cold the fifteenth prince was to him, he never complained about him. Even if he could not change the fate of the fifteenth prince to "guard the tomb", he would take good care of the fifteenth prince's family.

Prince Zhuang Taifu Jin relied on his seniority and suffered a lot in the past two years, but he mostly endured it. It was because he inherited the royal palace and became the heir of Taifu Jin; and because of his weakness, Prince Zhuang's mansion lost the wealth accumulated by two generations, and felt guilty.

Li Fangxian killed the two legitimate sons of the Sixteenth Prince because of jealousy. The Sixteenth Prince still could not execute the woman he had loved, but just moved out of the palace to ban the matter.

Li Fangxian died of illness, and the sixteenth prince also felt guilty about her two sons.

Although this is a bit sorry for the Sixteenth Concubine, Li Fangxian was his first woman and the person he once loved truly. Li Fangxian's paranoia was also due to his youthful and frivolous handling of housework.

What made the Sixteenth Prince change his mind?

Although Cao Yong was confused, he did not ask questions. These were the family affairs of the Sixteenth Prince. When the Sixteenth Prince was willing to say it, he was willing to be an audience; when the Sixteenth Prince kept silent, he would not inquire about it.

The Sixteenth Prince just told Cao Yong the good news of his wife's pregnancy, and did not have the intention of talking in depth, because it caused a hidden pain in his heart.

His eldest son was born on the fourth day of the eighth month of the year of Renchen and died on the same day. If he was still alive, he would be thirteen years old this year, more than a month older than Cao Yong's eldest son Tianyou.

Every autumn, the Sixteenth Concubine would cry a few times. Because she had three legitimate sons, two died in August and one died in September.

The Sixteenth Prince really regrets it.

He originally disagreed with Buddhism and the like, but now he is offering sacrifices to the small Buddhist temple in the royal palace to save his young children.

After seeing Taifu Jin's trouble for his wife, he realized how difficult it would be for his wife without a legitimate son. This is still his situation. If he is gone one day, what will his wife do?

Under the instigation of Taifu Jin, Hongpu's treatment of his mother became increasingly alienated.

The sixteenth prince finally understood the irreconcilable contradiction between his wife and children. His wife could not hold back the pain of losing her son and took the initiative to get close to Hongpu. Under the instigation of someone who is interested, Hongpu blamed his biological mother for her loss of favor and illness on his legitimate mother.

The Sixteenth Prince knew that this mess was caused by himself, but he wanted to mediate but had little effect.

In this way, he could only make a decision between his wife and his beloved concubine son.

When the emperor proposed to marry Hongpu, the sixteenth prince discovered that his son was already a young eagle and would eventually grow up, leave his protection, spread his wings above the nine heavens. He would marry and have his own small family.

The one who accompanied me through the rest of my life was my wife.

He already owe her a lot, and it should be time to compensate.

I was still thinking about waiting for when the concubine gave birth to a child and took her to the name of the Sixteenth Concubine. Unexpectedly, God felt sorry for him, so the Sixteenth Concubine became pregnant again...

Compared with the Sixteenth Prince's "Three Happinesses", what Cao's Mansion next welcomes is the autumn wind and autumn rain and killing people.

Tianbao was sick and started to have a cough and fever. He invited the imperial physician to come, just saying "external wind evil".

Chu Yu and Li stayed for two days and tried every means to relieve Tianbao's fever.

Unexpectedly, the fever had not subsided, and Tianbao began to vomit and have diarrhea.

The originally white and fat child, after only two days of tossing, his eyes lingered, making people feel sad.

Several imperial physicians who specialize in pediatrics in the Imperial Hospital invited him to visit him, and even Mr. Fang Zhong came here, but the result was heartbreaking. He only talked about his duties and destiny.

Chu Yu's eyes were swollen into walnuts. Cao Yong, who is the one who is my brother, also asked someone to take leave from the Ministry of Revenue. The couple moved Tianbao from Lanyuan to Wutongyuan and guarded him day and night.

Looking at the dying young son, Cao Yong felt powerless. Listening to his son shouting "pain", Chu Yu covered his mouth with a veil, and tears fell.

Although Cao Yong did not shed tears, he also tasted the feeling of his heart being cut by a knife.

Tianbao's illness became like this, and other children in the mansion were worried everywhere. However, the imperial physician had already instructed that Tianbao's illness was easy to get out of the ordinary, and adults were not in trouble, but children could not get close to each other.

Because of this, even if they were worried about Tianbao, Wutongyuan became their forbidden area.

Cao Yong sat by the kang, wanting to tell his son a story, but he didn't know what to tell. Sun Wukong? The gourd baby? Although there are so many children in the family, he suddenly realized that his attention to his youngest son was so unreasonable.

He didn't know what stories his youngest son liked to listen to, or what his youngest son liked to do.

He just clumsyly held the medicine bowl and coaxed his son to take medicine.

"Bloody..." Looking at the black medicine soup, Tianbao shrank into Chu Yu's arms and said with tears.

Next to the kang, there were many pottery swords that children liked, as well as a few boxes of candied desserts. Chu Yu softly coaxed his youngest son, wanting him to take medicine obediently.

Although Tianbao was kept in Lanyuan, Li was not a person who was abusing children, so even if he was unwilling to do so, he would not cry and make trouble like the children next to him.

He just turned around, hid his little brain in Chu Yu's arms, and used silence to protest his dissatisfaction with taking the medicine.

In the end, there was nothing left, so Cao Yong held his little shoulder and forced himself to go down half a bowl of medicine while he was crying.

Tianbao cried heartbrokenly, looking at Cao Yong, as if he was looking at the unforgivable enemy.

Therefore, every time I take medicine, it becomes a tug-of-war between father and son.

Tianbao vomited and cried, and he got wet his clothes every time and was sweating all over.

Cao Yong was leaping his temples by the sharp crying. He put his slap on his youngest son's butt several times. He wanted to teach him a lesson, but he was still reluctant to leave.

However, it was also the three troubles this day that made Tianbao, who was originally terminally ill, gradually gain strength. From the beginning when he was given medicine, he could only cry and his eyes turned pale. Now he was able to kick people and push people, which obviously made a lot of progress.

When he turned red with his face and added tooth marks to Cao Yong's tiger's mouth, the imperial physician finally changed the new words when he came to take the pulse again.

Although it is not as dangerous as acne, it is not easy for this child to pull himself in, let alone Tianbao's illness this time is so dangerous.

Cao Yong and his wife finally breathed a sigh of relief; Li, who ate vegetarianism and prayed for his grandson, also let down his hanging heart.

"This brat, when he gets better, I want to serve the family law. Tianyou, Hengsheng was sick when he was a child, so he was not so harsh." Seeing his youngest son becoming more and more intimate with his wife and becoming less and less "liked" him, Cao Yong couldn't help but say angrily.

Chu Yu did not agree this time, but instead expressed his grudges for his young son: "Be more patient, isn't Tianbao sick? He has grown up so old, how many times have he held him?"

When Cao Yong heard this, he was speechless.

The eldest son Tianyou carries the hope of his family, so he will inevitably pay more attention to it; the second son always has a difficult life, is well-behaved and sensible, and is particularly pitiful, so he must be more painful; the birth of the youngest son Tianbao only solved the situation of the Cao family's indifference and added icing on the cake.

Cao Yong, a father, did neglect a lot of his young son. In order to prevent his mother from being lonely in her later years, he handed over Tianbao to her mother for raising her, and did not fulfill his father's duties.

"Does this kid like anything?" Cao Yong asked his wife embarrassedly: "I took him bitter medicine for several days, and I'm afraid he's holding a grudge, so I have to coax it."

"I like living things, Tianyou, Hang Seng bought a pair of rabbits outside, just for his younger brother." Chu Yu replied.

Although both father and mother are connected with their children's blood, the former is just a sound of joy, and then they wait for the melon to ripen; the latter is to be pregnant for ten months before giving birth.

In the world, there are fathers who are neglected in their children, but few mothers who are cold-hearted.

Cao Yong walked around the ground several times, but he didn't know what to change to coax his son. It's definitely not possible, there was no vaccination at this time, and the child was naughty, so he wasn't a joke when he bites it.

At this time, he happened to see the clock on the Baibao Pavilion, patted his forehead, went out to send someone to the foreign goods shop of the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, and then went to the front door, and exchanged a lot of things over.

At the same time, the birds came out to report the time clock, and the Western villains danced after opening the sound box. These are foreign things. There are also local tumblers, shadow puppets for shadow puppets, puppets for puppet shows, etc.

These things are all movable. Although they are not as vivid as living things, they are just right in Tianbao's mind.

There is a boy's crisp laughter in the upper room in Wutong Garden.

As Cao Yong "dedicated treasures" again and again, Tianbao gradually became closer to him.
