Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1781

The entire capital city was immersed in the joy of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, and the young master's mansion was particularly crowded.

None of the good friends wanted to celebrate the New Year at home, and they all quietly flocked to Tinglan Courtyard to wait for news.

It's noisy outside.

Shi Anxia drank half a bowl of medicine and gave an order, "Nan Yan, tell everyone to go home for the New Year. If there is any news, we will notify everyone one by one. You don't have to stay here."

Nan Yan was gone for a while, and came back to report that the elders of the Shi family had all gone back, and no one could persuade the rest. The people from the first, third, and fourth branches of the Shi family were all here, and even Lord Zhao's wife was waiting and refused to leave.

Not to mention the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, the Qin family, the Wei family, and Wei Cailing also stumbled into the warm room early in the morning in a carriage holding their youngest son.

Nan Yan pursed her lips and reported, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on a private visit in disguise and is now waiting for news in Doctor Shen's courtyard."

Hearing this, Shi Anxia stopped forcing him and just ordered, "Hot tea, fruits, and cakes are indispensable. When lunchtime comes, the table must be laid out in a presentable manner."

Yao Sheng couldn't help but said, "Xia'er, I've already arranged all this. Just focus on having the baby and don't worry about anything else, okay?"

Shi Anxia nodded obediently, saying "OK", and then asked, "Bei Hui, has the wet nurse arrived?"

Bei Hui replied, "Ten have been born. Old Madam Tang meant that she would choose a few after you give birth."

"No, choose now." Shi Anxia acted a little more decisively than usual.

Everyone looked at her.

She touched her face and asked, "Are there any words?"

Everyone turned their heads away again.

Tang Chujun was a little afraid of his daughter now. With her son-in-law's life or death uncertain, his daughter became tough overnight, sticking to her words and being so stubborn that there was no room for persuasion.

She heard Liang Yanbing and others say privately that it would be good if they could save one child at most.

Tang Chujun was now in a state of confusion and at a loss. She also felt that if she could keep one, she would be thankful. How could she be greedy?

Therefore, you can choose one or two suitable wet nurses after the baby is born. Otherwise, if you choose too many, they will shirk their responsibilities and that will not be good.

But the look on my daughter's face showed that she was going to choose all three children.

If all the wet nurses are selected and the child dies...how terrible would that be?

Tang Chujun didn't say what he was thinking and just followed his daughter's will.

As they were talking, a group of young women in plain skirts walked in slowly with their brows lowered and their eyes submissive. They stood in a row in front of the couch, with their hands folded in front of their stomachs, in a respectful manner.

Shi Anxia leaned against the hidden bag, and began to look at the first woman, carefully examining each one in turn. She looked very slowly, from the silver hairpin on her hair to the embroidery on her skirt, from the mole on her earlobe to the calluses on her fingertips, leaving nothing out.

"Hands," she whispered.

Upon hearing this, the women all stretched out their hands, palms facing up. Shi Anxia leaned forward slightly, first looking at the lines on their palms, and then motioned for them to turn over their hands.

She examined very carefully, even paying attention to the half-moons on the edges of the nails.

She asked some tricky questions to test everyone's adaptability and character. Then she picked six people to stay, one of whom was Liu, the daughter-in-law of Wang Mama, the Protector of the State, and the other was Luo, the daughter-in-law of Zeng Mama.

Zeng Mama is Dongxi's aunt. She had always felt bad about Dongxi's failure to get the job done, and always felt that she was unreliable in the eyes of the princess. She never expected that the princess would send someone to find her when selecting a wet nurse.

She arranged for her own daughter-in-law to be in there and mix in with the group of wet nurses without letting anyone know beforehand, just to see if the princess would like her.
