Chapter 108: Nurturing
Following behind a female official in a dark brown coat, Li Fei walked quickly and soon arrived at the Chengping Hall where Concubine Shu lived.
Zhao Yanheng was wearing a dark blue python robe and sat on the right side of the red treasure inlaid screen couch, his elbows were on his knees, his hands were clenched into fists against his jaw, his teeth were clenched, and his face was frosty, even if Li Fei came in, his state had not changed, he was cold and solemn, his eyes were nothing, and Zhao Yanheng was like two people in front of Li Fei in the past.
The emperor sitting on the left side still maintained the prestige of the first meeting, and after Li Fei knelt down, he said, "You go in, it's Concubine Shu who wants to see you." ”
Li Fei stood up, washed his sweaty face and hands on the side, and then followed a doctor into the delivery room, Zhao Yanheng's eyes were expected to come, mixed with some pain and confusion, Li Fei couldn't stay, turned around.
A south-facing delivery room is set up with a triple curtain tent, the outermost layer is equipped with gold and silver basins, swaddling clothes, nurses and nannies, is ready to pick up children, the second floor of several tables are covered with a lot of medicinal herbs and bottles and jars, next to the kneeling two white hair and beard of the imperial doctor and two fifty or so doctors, even talking and comparing in a low voice, the innermost, a wide pear blossom wood cloud pattern delivery bed, under the melon stretch red brocade quilt, lying a small weak woman, her sideburns, forehead, neck is completely soaked in cold sweat, her long black hair is braided into a thick braid and rolled on the side of the neck, her face is a little puffy, her cheeks are a little spotted, her face is pale and bloodless, but she still has a beautiful state, calm eyes and a forbearant look are the most tempting at this moment.
If the production is a woman who walks through the ghost gate, and the woman who walks towards the ghost gate with such a demeanor has a thrilling charm.
Mama Cheng next to her said softly, "Miss Li, you come closer." ”
Li Fei agreed, walked directly to the edge of the bed and bowed, and looked at the concubine on the bed.
Mama Cheng wrenched her hot fear and wiped her eyes for Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu gasped twice, her eyelashes that had been condensed into clusters flashed, and her voice seemed to be dripping with blood: "It's a neat child!"
Li Fei was sad when he heard this voice, but he didn't shed tears, moved his legs back a little and kowtowed heavily, and said, "The little girl will not give up." ”
Concubine Shu closed her eyes, her head moved down slightly, and a man in his thirties knelt beside Li Fei, close to Li Fei straightened up and wanted to avoid it, and then he thought that in a place like the delivery room, husbands and sons were not allowed to enter, and those who could come in could only be the waiter, not a man, and he straightened up before leaning down again.
"Gonggong He, sue the emperor......" Concubine Shu's voice was too hoarse, and she stopped her pronunciation unclearly.
"Ginseng soup!" He Jin roared in a low voice, and then lowered his momentum and said: "The slave is here, what does Niangniang have to tell the emperor." ”
Concubine Shu was poured a bowl of ginseng soup, her chest rose and fell violently, and she said coldly and detachedly: "If I die, don't leave my son in the inner palace to be raised by other concubines, and give it to the seventh ......."
"This ......" The adult prince raised his younger siblings, there is no such precedent in this dynasty, but at this time, Concubine Shu said what she should say, and He Jin bowed her head and promised.
The pain distorted Concubine Shu's facial features, and she screamed, "Get out!"
This sentence was said to Li Fei, and Mama Cheng bowed her head to Li Fei, who was kneeling on the side, and explained, "Miss Li, please go out." ”
Li Fei hurriedly got up and retreated, and retreated to the curtain tent, only to hear Concubine Shu shouting miserably: "Your Majesty, you must promise your concubines...... Don't give it to another woman!"
In and out of only a dozen breaths, the atmosphere of near death made Li Fei burst into a cold sweat, Li Fei then He Jin also came out of the delivery room, the two faced the saint together, and the emperor said urgently: "What did Concubine Shu say?"
Just a few words, not missing a word, and adding a little concubine's absolute demeanor, this is the meaning of Tuogu, concubine Shufei has a difficult birth, the emperor said loudly that both are guaranteed, but the second half of the sentence said weakly, it is really not possible to protect the small, so there was immediately a concubine Rou was crowned as a concubine, and Li Fei crossed the royal road into the West Garden.
Zhao Yanheng endured the pain in his heart on the low couch and did not move, in case the concubine died, the brother of the same father and mother was the most reliable, but this kind of thing is not in line with etiquette, and the daily life of the royal family is still regulated by heavy etiquette. If the emperor dies, the remaining underage princes and princesses are entrusted to the successor to the throne, which is in line with the etiquette system, and now this kind of thing, Concubine Shu put forward this kind of request for motherly compassion when she was dying, but Zhao Yanheng can't be emotionally charged with this kind of request for etiquette, the emperor is not dead, the father is still on the top or the elder brother is on top, of course the father will place the child properly, so Zhao Yanheng can't move.
No one could move more and interfere with the emperor's choice, Li Fei lowered his head and tried his best to ignore his sense of existence.
Sure enough, the emperor listened to Concubine Shu's request, but did not promise, and the emperor said that this kind of thing is not something that can be agreed to coaxing.
There was a long, suffocating silence, and the atmosphere was stiffer than before.
The emperor sat at the back and was depressed, and he couldn't stand it anymore, Feng Chengen, who was standing on the side, persuaded in a timely manner: "The emperor has been guarding for a day, not resting, and his body and bones have been broken, and the lady concubine is also distressed." ”
The emperor's spirit is like an epiphany that blooms at night, and it will soon wither, Zhao Yanheng is shaped there like an ice sculpture, without moving, Feng Chengen and He Jin took turns to persuade twice, and the emperor looked at his lost son and Li Fei, who had been standing, and drove away.
A large number of people followed, Li Fei approached Zhao Yanheng, put a cushion at his feet and sat down, resting his hands on his knees, his head resting quietly on his knees, and accompanying him through this moment of difficult days like a knife.
Zhao Yanheng slowly touched Li Fei's head, and said with tears in the corners of his eyes: "It's not like this, it's not like this!"
His mother Tang is arrogant and cold on her face, but she has actually exhausted all means to protect the holy favor, and even exhausted herself for this fishery, and she looks like a woman in her early twenties in her early thirties, skin care and slimming use a bunch of things that hinder the inside, and she has to dance and play a song from time to time to make the emperor happy. His mother, not a dignified and elegant lady, but a bewitching and sultry concubine, such a body and bones, in the previous life, his mother conceived Taihe, and was born in eight months, Taihe was born prematurely, and was born with weakness, the doctor said that careful care and raising to the age of ten can be no different from ordinary people, but his father is the emperor, and his brother is also the emperor, and he was raised until he was seven years old and died early, so this time he had already made preparations, estimated the days when Taihe came, persuaded her mother to break some strong things, and nourished her body with warm medicine, and cleaned out a group of suspicious palace people, and his mother hid her pregnancy for more than three months before it was announced, every day only cares about the fetus in the womb, this is also the emperor's last child.
Then the process finally deviated from the original trajectory, this time Taihe was conceived in October, and the melons were ripe, and as a result, his mother had a difficult birth.
It turned out that it wasn't like this, it turned out to be too good, her mother was very good, the eight-month-old fetus was also small, and it was born in an hour, and now he changed it to full-term delivery, and she can't give birth!
It's not certain that my sister can protect it, but my mother is going to get in!
Is this mocking his prophets?
Maybe he was wrong, he didn't come back too peaceful, and he shouldn't have been at the mercy of this kind of thing that he was not familiar with.
But Taihe died early, he had a chance to change, how could he be indifferent!
Zhao Yanheng gasped in pain, his teeth rustled, and the meridians on the side of his neck beated.
Li Fei raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Zhao Yanheng's eyes, supported his face with his palm down, and said, "Concubine Shuniang is very calm, there is no pain and fear in her eyes!"
"Really?" Zhao Yanheng still blamed himself.
Mother and sister, he wants them to be well.
Li Fei's gaze fell softly on Zhao Yanheng's face, and he nodded: " My mother was also very difficult to keep me, the third month of the fetal gas, I had to give up my grandmother and a group of them, in Chengdu I had to hide in the small courtyard of the Lin family, almost lay down for four months before giving birth to me, just for that little me, put the best youth into it, but also to deal with the three religions and nine streams in the market, the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods on the mountains worship the handle, and raise a sick seedling to be as healthy and healthy as I am, it is according to the gold, but I am good, healthy, peaceful, I can live arbitrarily, is my mother's greatest satisfaction。 ”
"The same is true for the concubine, she is willing to break her bones for the sake of the child!"
"It is natural to feed a generation from generation to generation, and if you die of injury for this, you have no regrets!"
Zhao Yanheng took a deep breath, and his heavy head smashed on Li Fei's shoulder.
Li Fei hugged his stiff shoulders, and the two of them maintained this posture of snuggling up to each other to support each other.
The child was born safely, she was a princess, five pounds and eight taels, her hands and feet were complete, her cry was loud, she was examined by the doctor, and her body was very healthy.
Li Fei returned home that night, and when he returned to the house, he did not have the treatment of the royal road, and he walked twice the distance around Beiwang Mountain, the Yuqin Mountain House was brightly lit and quiet, and Song Duofu walked over with Xiao Tao's hand stiff and straight.
Li Fei's eyes fell on her lap.
Xiao Tao said distressedly: "My girl knelt in front of the Bodhisattva for four hours, and made a vow......"
"Okay, don't talk about this!" Song Duofu interrupted Xiao Tao's words, and said hurriedly: "How is it, how is Concubine Shuniang?"
Song Duofu's life leaned on Cheng Anguo, the Cheng family relied on the Xiangwang Mansion, Cheng Anguo's mother entered the palace again in five months to serve the concubine, Mrs. Cheng said that their marriage should be discussed after the concubine gave birth safely, so today is so dangerous, Song Duofu is also scared to death, kneeling in front of the Guanyin Bodhisattva seat that their family asked from Baoquan Temple to pray sincerely.
"Give birth to a princess!" Li Fei said in a depressed spirit: "Because the labor has been delayed for too long, the lady concubine has a fever after giving birth and is unconscious!"
Postpartum fever is puerperal fever, and one of the four women who died in confinement after giving birth died of this disease, and this disease is still troublesome, and the disease can last for more than ten days, and the mother is also very sinful.
