Chapter 264 The Princess Has a Bad Temper (2)
"Sixth Princess, Her Majesty the Empress is pregnant." Rong Momo said with a smile as she approached Wangyou after she finished her practice.
"Mother is pregnant! Let's go see her!" Wangyou threw aside the handkerchief she was using to wipe her sweat and ran towards Kunning Palace like the wind, with the palace servants following closely behind.
"Mother! Mother!"
"You silly child, keep your voice down, don't disturb your mother." Emperor Qianlong couldn't stop smiling.
"Father, Mother is pregnant now. How many months along is she?"
"It's only been a month. You can take its pulse later."
Before Qianlong could finish speaking, Wangyou darted into the inner room, grabbed her mother's wrist, and took her pulse. It was indeed a month along, and the pregnancy was very stable. They had finally been waiting for their little brother.
In such a short time, the Fifth Princess arrived.
Compared to Wangyou, the Fifth Princess Zhiyao was a proper young lady from a respectable family. Wangyou was a mischievous little monkey who climbed trees, walked birds, learned medicine and martial arts from a young age. She did everything well. Compared to the lively and active Wangyou, the Fifth Princess Zhiyao was too quiet.
But personality is something you're born with, and Wangyou didn't think about changing it. Anyway, with her in this life, Zhiyao will definitely be able to live a free and easy life.
In fact, Wangyou still had some regrets. She originally thought that if she didn't want to be the emperor, she could train her sister, but it turned out that Zhiyao was completely unsuitable for it. She could talk to her about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she was completely clueless about national politics. Over time, Wangyou gave up.
The baby in her mother's belly will likely be a healthy little one. If only it were Ying Zheng, she wouldn't need to train him. But Wangyou has been examined, and the soul fluctuations are not normal; it's just the soul of a newborn infant, so it still needs proper guidance.
After confirming her mother's pregnancy, Wangyou went to the Imperial Hospital again and rummaged around. Although she couldn't do metaphysics, she still dabbled in medicine. She came up with quite a few things, such as those that could promote intellectual development, detoxify, and temper the body.
However, this was the first time that the intellectual development program for the child had been implemented. After all, Emperor Qianlong was always eager to get his hands on it, and how could such a thing be given to the children of other concubines?
Young Yongji, still a tiny bean sprout, had no idea of the fate that awaited him after his birth.
"Sixth Brother!"
“You’re the sixth one!” Wangyou said bluntly.
Looking at his daughter's puffed-up face, Qianlong touched his nose sheepishly. "Um, Wangyou, I'm planning to go hunting in a few days. Do you want to come?"
"Go, of course I'll go! I'm going to beat your Baturus to a pulp!" Wangyou said with a grin.
"Alright, then I'll be waiting." Emperor Qianlong laughed heartily. It was rare for his daughter not to argue with him today; congratulations!
As the saying goes, a person's bottom line can be changed. Just like Emperor Qianlong and Wangyou, before Wangyou was born, Emperor Qianlong required his children to be disciplined, generous, and filial.
After Wangyou was born, the first thing Qianlong heard Wangyou say to him was, "You're the sixth son!"
Emperor Qianlong knew back then that this girl was not to be trifled with, and later experiences proved it. Compared to the Fifth Princess Zhiyao, Wangyou was much more intelligent, almost to the point of being supernatural. Therefore, Emperor Qianlong was very fond of her.
Then, without realizing it, the bottom line for forgetting worries will be lowered infinitely, while the treatment of those in the same industry will rise sharply, after all, it all depends on the contrast with their peers.
Compared to the mischievous Wangyou, Zhiyao is a beautiful and kind-hearted fairy, whom the elders naturally adore. Of course, they also love Wangyou very much; after all, who wouldn't like a lively child?
Besides, Wangyou never implicates others, and she always speaks with reason and evidence. In particular, Emperor Qianlong, who is often criticized, gets used to it after a while.
Over time, Qianlong would start to be sarcastic and playful, like calling someone "Sixth Prince" or something similar. He knew Wangyou didn't like it, but he just liked to call him that anyway, which was probably a source of amusement for his father.
Seeing the father and daughter start arguing again, Zhiyao and the Empress were quite helpless, but they were already used to it. Rong Momo went directly to arrange the preparation of lunch.
They'll definitely be hungry after they finish choking, which will be just right.
"Mother, Fifth Sister, are you going to the hunting grounds?"
"I won't go. You should have fun with your father," the Empress said with a smile, after all, she was pregnant.
"Sixth Sister, I'm not going either. I'll stay in the palace to take care of Mother." Zhiyao had no interest in fighting and had already refused before; she was just letting Wangyou know this now.
Wangyou did not comment on this, after all, the Empress Dowager adopted Prince Yu's daughter Qing'er last year, and Zhiyao and Qing'er had a very good relationship. The two were exactly like daughters of noble families. Now, it seems that the Empress Dowager does not intend to go.
……
"Today's first place in the hunt deserves a generous reward from me!" Emperor Qianlong declared triumphantly.
"Father, I'm definitely taking this reward!" Wangyou said confidently, dressed in red riding attire.
"Listen to this! This is my daughter's first time participating in a hunt. You all better not lose to my daughter!" Emperor Qianlong said with a loud laugh.
A gunshot rang out, and the group rode their horses into the dense forest.
Wangyou rode her horse at a leisurely pace to the edge of the hunting grounds.
"Has the sixth princess simply admitted defeat?"
"Probably not, they're probably just figuring out the best way to get in."
Wangyou originally intended to go hunting, but the thought of using the blood of the animals she had shot made her too lazy to move.
So, Wangyou observed the terrain, then solemnly took out a packet of medicinal powder from her bosom and sprinkled it evenly in a circle. After that, Wangyou took out a flute and quietly began to play it.
What are you doing?
Everyone was puzzled, and those inside the hunting grounds suddenly discovered that the prey had vanished; not a single one could be found.
Those outside the hunting grounds suddenly felt the ground shake, and then saw herds of wild animals rushing out.
There were bears, tigers, and even a pack of wolves.
These are not animals that should be in the royal hunting grounds.
"Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!" Li Yu's voice was hoarse.
But then a scene that left everyone speechless appeared: these prey obediently walked into the circle that Wangyou had drawn and then lay down peacefully.
"Wangyou, what did you just do?" Emperor Qianlong asked with great curiosity.
"I just sprinkled some animal-attracting powder and played a requiem," Wangyou said with a smile. "But Father Emperor, your hunting grounds are not safe. There are such large prey as bears. Luckily you didn't have time to go in, or you might have lost an arm or a leg."
"How dare you curse your own father like that? I've already sent people to investigate," Qianlong said irritably.
"By the way, Father Emperor, how's the firearms research going?"
"I must say, if the problem of firearms easily exploding is solved, their power will be far greater than that of cold weapons. I have decided to expand the firearms battalion, find more talent, and research firearms," Qianlong said earnestly.
"That's good. Father, when you have time, please have someone keep a close eye on those foreigners. After all, those who are not of our race are bound to have different intentions. My people have sent word that there are armed troops on the other side of the ocean." Wangyou became much more serious when talking about serious matters.
"Honey, can I talk to you about something?"
