Chapter 48: The Queen
"This condition is too insincere. Qi Zongwen smiled and said, "Do I want you to do something, and you still don't want to?"
"Then what kind of color does Your Majesty want?" Qin Yunyi asked.
Qi Zongwen drove the horse to Qin Yunyi and whispered in her ear, "If you lose, give me the strap of your bandeau." β
Qin Yunyi glanced at him, "Your Majesty is too confident, do you think I will definitely lose?"
Because it was a game, there were still many people nearby to cheer for the game, and the princess touched her stomach and whispered, "It's really a bad luck that this kid came, otherwise I could have gone to play polo." β
"Yo, look at what she said. When the county lord heard this, he said to Princess Xin, "For the sake of playing, the children are too troublesome." β
The princess knew that she was speechless, and the princess said happily, "She married in, and she has always been very quiet, I thought she was born like this, it turned out that she didn't find a fun-loving partner." β
"Isn't it the same when you were young, in order to be able to continue playing polo, you have to hide it from the emperor when you fall off the horse, for fear that the emperor will not allow you to play again. β
"It's not interesting, why are you still tearing down the stage in front of juniors. Changkang smiled and said, "It's a pity that my daughter is not like me, she is born quiet and does not like to move, Changle has not liked to move since she was a child, but Jiaying is not like her, I look at her posture is quite presentable." β
"It's been a long time since the palace has been so lively. Princess Xin said, "In the end, Your Majesty is still young and has the energy to play, so it is better to get closer to the clan relatives at this time." β
"It's just a joke. Changkang smiled and said, "Play polo with the ladies and dependents." β
"Your Majesty wants to see their strength first. Princess Xin said, "Otherwise, if you fight with the guards, even if the guards want to let it, it will not be too obvious." β
They watched happily, there had been a back and forth on the field, His Majesty's team scored first, and King Li passed by Princess Li's side, "Will you fight, you have to come to join in the fun." β
"Don't lose the face of this king later. β
"Maybe who's going to be disgraced. Princess Li snorted lightly, King Li's death early, King Li's son inherited the throne before he was a minor, the first emperor took pity on him, he was raised in the palace and the princes in general, and when he became an adult, he was married out of the palace, and everyone envied her good luck, and she was the princess when she got married.
Who knows her suffering, it's her favorite polo, which she has only touched for the first time in five years.
She drove the horse, so she warmed up first, and waited to see what she was capable of.
In the second round-trip, she went straight to the king of the courtesy, and the two horses went hand in hand, and as soon as the stick was extended, she snatched the ball, and then galloped all the way to score.
King Li looked at her back in a daze, unable to believe it.
"Look at it again, King Li, we're going to lose. "The Twelve Princes said that he has not yet gotten married, so naturally he has no title and is called by rank.
Qin Yunyi discussed the countermeasures, and asked the county lord of Jiaying to go to His Majesty, Princess Li to the Twelve Princes, and she and Concubine Ying to the Prince of Li and the Prince of Zhong, so that His Majesty could not treat his niece, the Twelve Princes could not treat his sister-in-law, and the Prince of Li and the Prince of Zhong could not treat the little sister-in-law.
"Aren't you relying on your identity to cheat?" Qi Zongwen first smiled at Qin Yunyi and shook his head, and then said to the younger brothers beside him, "What's the matter, if you continue like this, you will really lose to the female stream." β
King Li also froze, "Little Twelve, you will stop Jiaying later, Your Majesty, you can be optimistic about the concubine and the concubine Ying, I will deal with my princess, and the task of scoring goals will be handed over to you." He said to the prince of Chung.
Of course, they can't really beat women, but it's just a fun, but not necessarily obsessed with winning or losing, in the end, His Majesty only cares about going to the horse race with the concubine to show affection, Concubine Ying consciously received a blow, and she is also happy, the lord of Jiaying has no physical strength, and the second half is also fishing, and in the end, it turned out to be King Li and Princess Li who played a real fire and did not let each other.
Qi Zongwen looked at it almost, "Okay, let's stop here today." β
"Who won?" he asked the eunuch who kept the score.
"It's exactly 10 to 10. The eunuch trotted all the way and said.
"It seems that everyone is evenly matched. Qi Zongwen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, are you serious about playing polo?" Qin Yunyi smiled angrily, she turned her head to Princess Li and said, "We'll play by ourselves another day, and we won't take them to play." β
"Okay. Princess Li said with a smile in her eyes, "Wait for the mother's arrangement." β
At the end of a polo game, Qi Zongwen and Qin Yunyi went back with a smile, and took a bath together, King Li and Princess Li's way back was divided into two ways, Qi Zongwen laughed when he heard about it, "King Li usually doesn't look like a stingy person." β
"The little two are vindictive. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "It's my fault." β
I shouted casually, she said that she would fight, then she, how do you know that it can cause conflicts between their husband and wife. β
"What does it have to do with you. Qi Zongwen said with a smile, "King Li didn't know that the princess could play polo before today, and she played so well that she couldn't lose face for a while." β
"It would be nice if they played a few more games of polo at home. β
Qin Yunyi put his arm around Qi Zongwen, "When I first arrived at the palace, His Majesty also took me to run horses and play polo. β
"Speaking of which, how did Your Majesty know that I would fight?"
"Then naturally, hand me the stick. β
"Your second brother said that. Qi Zongwen said, "You don't know, I've seen you play polo with your second brother." Qi Zongwen only casually talked about the past, and after speaking, he noticed that Qin Yunyi's mood had changed, and he suddenly understood what he had just said.
He slapped the water a little awkwardly.
Between the two of them, they never mentioned the past of the Qin family.
Qin Yunyi was caught off guard when she heard her brother, she was a little distracted, seeing that Qi Zongwen was embarrassed because of her, she didn't have any other thoughts in her heart, she leaned on Qi Zongwen softly, "My polo is taught by my second brother." β
"But Your Majesty, in fact, I have always been curious about how you made friends with my second brother. Qin Yunyi asked.
When Qi Zongwen was thinking about the wording and was about to return, Han Xing reported outside the screen, "Your Majesty, there is news from the palace, the queen mother is about to give birth." β
Qi Zongwen stood up from the water with a bang, "Isn't it time yet?"
"It was said that on the day His Majesty left the palace, the queen mother was a little bad, these days have been bleeding intermittently, and the imperial doctor said that it could not be delayed any longer, otherwise it would
In the stillbirth, after obtaining the opinions of the queen and the queen mother, the imperial doctor prescribed oxytocic drugs to the mother. β
"Why doesn't anyone come back and forth?" Qi Zongwen said, Qin Yunyi got up and took care of himself, and took clothes for His Majesty to wear, "Your Majesty is asking so much now, where does Chief Manager Han know." β
"The queen mother gave birth, Your Majesty still has to go back to the palace. β
Qi Zongwen thought for a while, the queen's first child, if he didn't return to the palace, he might not be able to point out any rumors, "Then I will go back, you are in the palace." β
"Your Majesty returns to the palace, don't rush back. Qin Yunyi said, "Why don't you have to come back after the queen washes three times." β
Qi Zongwen nodded.
The queen is about to give birth. When this news spread throughout the palace, all women's hearts were very complicated, if the queen was the prince, she would definitely be made the prince, and if she ascended the throne safely in the future, the queen would become the queen mother, and the situation in the harem would change in the future.
The queen lay on the bed, sweating all over her body, her hair wet and sticking to her scalp, "Ahhh β
"Queen Mother, it's not time for pain yet, you must be sorry to do it. Wen Po persuaded her.
"Your Majesty, is Your Majesty back?" the Empress asked, taking her hand.
"Niangniang, someone has already been sent to inform Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will be back soon. Chunzhi soothed her, "Niangniang must cheer up." β
"The imperial doctor said that this fetus in this palace, can it be born safely?" the queen asked, she had asked this question countless times, and when it came to the end, she still wanted to ask this question.
"Isn't the imperial doctor guaranteed, as long as the mother can be born smoothly, there will be no problem. Chunzhi said, "Now that the fetal position is correct, the mother will listen to the words of the mother-in-law, and when it is time to exert force, the prince will be born safely." β
"The crown prince of this palace. The queen smothered her mouth with a hideous face.
"Your Majestyβ"
The Queen Mother also came to Ditai Palace to sit down, "All of them are waiting for the skin, if the queen has any mistakes, none of you can escape." β
When Qi Zongwen arrived, the queen had been screaming for two hours, and her voice was hoarse and difficult to read.
"The queen's fetal position is positive, but now the birth canal has not been opened. "The imperial doctor is sweating on his forehead, and this hard work is similar to that of the queen who is giving birth.
"Why is the queen so miserable?" Qi Zongwen asked.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's the same with women giving birth. The Queen Mother persuaded, "Your Majesty and the mourning family are waiting for the good news of the queen." β
From mid-day until almost sunset, the child's cry came from the delivery room, and Wen Po came out with the swaddling clothes in her arms, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the queen mother gave birth to a princess like a flower and jade." β
"It's good to be born. Qi Zongwen said, he leaned back in his chair, sat stiffly for an afternoon, listened to the screams of the afternoon, and didn't know how many thoughts he had turned in his heart, and for a while he thought of the screams of Concubine Yao when she was giving birth prematurely, and he was worried about whether it would be a bad result.
"It's good to be born. Qi Zongwen said sincerely, "How is the queen?"
"The queen mother is unconscious. Wen Po said, "The imperial doctor is showing the queen mother." β
His Majesty looked at the second princess, and the mourning family went in to see the queen. The Queen Mother got up and said.
It's good to give birth to a princess, it saves her a lot of effort, but in order to stop the queen, the next step still has to be done.
She entered the delivery room, the queen was still unconscious, Wen Po was cleaning her body, and when she saw the queen mother coming in, she hurriedly bowed her head and saluted, only her eyes flickered.
The Queen Mother sat on the side of the queen's bed, "Poor thing, there is no trace of blood on the little face, Imperial Doctor, does the queen matter?"
"The queen mother is just out of strength, and when she rests well, she will naturally get better. The Imperial Doctor bowed his head and said.
"If there is any prescription for warming and tonicing, if there is no good condition in the hospital, let people go to Yushou Palace to get it. The Queen Mother said.
"The slave and maid thanked the queen mother for her grace. Harueda Furi said.
The Queen Mother nodded, and under the cover of her sleeve, she sprinkled some white powder on Wen Po's hand, and then got up and said, "The mourning family is not here to delay you." β
Chunzhi hurriedly sent the queen mother out, and Wen Po took the opportunity to put those white powders into the queen's body with fish intestines.
