Chapter 101, the little princess
Hao Ming walked all the way to the West Sixth Palace, after all, Bai Guiren's position did not have a shoulder warm sedan chair to sit on, if Xi Ming sat on the shoulder, she had to follow behind. Instead of that, let's walk back slowly.
Bai Guiren said quietly: "The day when Concubine Hui launched is too coincidental!"
Hao Ming nodded: "Yes, if she didn't plan it in advance, I'm afraid no one will believe it." ”
Bai Guiren sneered: "Concubine Hui is never stupid, if she really waits for more than nine months to give birth, her body will be weaker and the fetus will be bigger, and she is afraid that it is very likely that she will die twice!"
Hao Ming smiled and said: "It's just that she also knows that she needs to prepare for early labor induction, so she begged the emperor to let Mrs. Gao enter the palace to take care of her." ”
Bai Guiren's face turned a little colder: "Mrs. Gao has only been in the palace for three days, but I'm afraid that it may not be all ready, but I just watched the mother go to Changchun Palace with the recovered concubine to ask for peace, so I was in a hurry!!"
Hao Ming and Bai Guicai had just walked out of the Chengqian Palace, and as soon as they entered the Yongxiang of the East Sixth Palace, they saw the emperor's Luan Yu coming towards this side, and even in a hurry. It can be seen that the emperor heard that Concubine Hui had launched, so he hurried over.
Ming was busy with the retreat side of the Bai Guiren, saluting and saying goodbye.
The emperor saw that it was a sound and immediately asked Luan Yu to stop, "Shu Concubine?" He glanced at the Chengqian Palace not far ahead, and asked, "Shu Concubine came out of the Chengqian Palace?"
Yu Ming nodded and said: "The concubine saw that Mrs. Gao commanded the people of the Chengqian Palace in an orderly manner, and the concubine had no experience, so she couldn't help much, so she didn't add to the chaos." ”
The emperor is suspicious of this biocy. As soon as he heard the sound of "orderly", he felt that Concubine Hui's premature birth was up for discussion, and his face sank.
Bai Guiren smiled and said, "Actually, Concubine Hui has been seven months old. Premature birth at this time will not be a big problem. ”
Because it won't be a big problem, why don't you give birth earlier? The emperor thought in his heart, and he was already quite unhappy.
Sending off the emperor, Ming Ming and Bai Guiren looked at each other and smiled, and the cooperation of Fang Cai can be regarded as intimate.
After returning to Chuxiu Palace, Yu Ming instructed Xu Jinlu to pay attention to the situation of this Chengqian Palace at all times. Although the seven-month-old fetus is much smaller than the full-term fetus. But she was weak and had little strength, so she didn't give birth for a whole day. Although the emperor was worried about this child, it was impossible to leave government affairs alone after all, so at noon, he was persuaded by the queen. He left the Chengqian Palace. It's time to return to the Heart Hall and wait for news.
In the evening, the eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office carried the Qingluan sedan chair to Chuxiu Palace. I came to pick up the noble people to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to sleep.
Hao Ming scolded the emperor on the spot, Concubine Hui was still calling him to death in Chengqian Palace to give birth to a child, he didn't forget this stubble thing!! Nima, what shit!
"Niangniang......" Bai Guiren looked at Hao Ming's unhappy face, and couldn't help but look a little more cautious.
Hao Ming hurriedly smiled at her and said, "Concubine Hui is still giving birth, she has been tossing for seven or eight hours, and she will be born at night." So you have to prepare for the worst. "-- Worst-case scenario. It's just carried away and didn't serve to sleep.
Bai Guiren's eyebrows frowned, and he also showed a little worry. She saw Wan Fu, "The concubine understands. ”
Ming smiled at her, "In this case, you can go quickly." Don't waste time!"
"Yes. Bai Guiren saluted again, and then followed the eunuch of the worship room.
This night is destined to be sleepless. He took out the Yongzheng notebook, took a piece of purple light ink, and gently grinded a thick and smooth ink in the fine inkstone, and then called Banxia to light the agarwood that calmed the mind and calmed the mind, and then began to write the word.
The handwriting is completed with a single stroke.
The hour hand on the pendulum clock moves inch by inch.
At night, when it came to the second watch, I didn't wait for the news that Concubine Hui was about to give birth, but I heard the news that Bai Guiren was back. She went to bed, but she came back quite quickly, it seems that the emperor came according to the rules and didn't keep her much.
Hao Ming instructed the Chuxiu Palace dining room to stew a cup of nourishing ginseng and black chicken soup for Bai Guiren, and told her to sleep early. And Hao Ming is really sleepy, and there is really no news from Chengqian Palace, but I am afraid that Concubine Hui is having a difficult birth.
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as he got up, Xu Jinlu came in panting and reported: "Born, born!! Chengqian Palace was born this morning, and she gave birth to a little princess!"
"Oh?" Mingming hooked her lips and smiled, Concubine Hui did not hesitate to give birth prematurely, and tried her best to give birth to a little princess, but I am afraid that I don't know how annoyed I am.
Xu Jinlu said again: "And according to the imperial doctor, the little princess was born with a very weak cry, like a kitten humming! I'm just afraid of ......" Xu Jinlu lowered his voice, "I'm afraid it's not a big one." ”
Naturally, she already knew this, as early as last year when she was in the Old Summer Palace, the emperor told her that fifty percent of Concubine Hui's fetus might not be born, and fifty percent might not be able to raise it. What's more, this child was born prematurely!!If Concubine Hui is willing to grit her teeth and continue to lose her already weak body and survive until full-term, there may still be a glimmer or two of hope. It's a pity that Concubine Hui didn't do this, and she was also afraid of death.
That's why the emperor got angry, so he summoned Bai Guiren to sleep.
From this point of view, although the emperor cares about Concubine Hui, he cares more about the child in her belly!
On this day, when Ming took Bai Guiren to Changchun Palace to ask for peace, he saw that although the queen was tired, she seemed to be in a very good mood. It's no wonder that Concubine Hui gave birth to a little princess, and she was a little princess like a little frozen cat, and of course the queen was happy.
The queen smiled and said: "Concubine Hui gave birth to a little princess for the emperor, which is the joy of the palace!"
The concubines who came to ask for peace for a while were also happy, and they looked happy.
The queen only said "little princess", but never called "third princess", and the meaning of this can be seen. Children who die prematurely are not included in the order of teeth. And Concubine Hui's daughter doesn't look like she can be raised.
Chengqian Palace.
Concubine Hui, who was in a postpartum coma, finally woke up faintly at this moment, and as soon as she woke up, she shouted: "My child!
Mrs. Gao was holding the one who had just fallen asleep in her arms, only a little more than four pounds, just like a kitten, Mrs. Gao sighed and hugged the child.
Concubine Hui's face was full of excitement and turned into worry: "Why is the child so thin?!"
Gao Shudao: "Premature children are naturally smaller. ”
Although Concubine Hui was worried, she couldn't help but hug the child, and looked carefully, the newborn child, her face was red, and she didn't grow eyebrows, so she was naturally a little embarrassed, but Concubine Hui was very precious.
Gao Shuren saw it in her eyes and was a little unbearable, but she still had to remind: "Ming'er, this child is a little princess." ”
Concubine Hui's body trembled, and she almost threw the child in her arms out, she looked at Gao Shuren in disbelief: "Eniang, you, what did you say?"
Gao Shuren's face was full of pity: "This is not a little brother, it's a little princess." ”
Concubine Hui trembled her hands, lifted the swaddling clothes on the child's body and looked at it, her face suddenly seemed to be dead, and then she sat on the bed slumped, "In the past seven months, I have suffered a lot, but I only gave birth to a little princess?" Immediately, tears fell, "No wonder, the emperor didn't come to visit......"
There was a bigger blow, and Mrs. Gao didn't dare to speak for a while. Only gave birth to a little princess, it is enough to make Concubine Hui lost, if Concubine Hui knows that this child is congenitally deficient, I am afraid that I don't know what it looks like.
Mrs. Gao sighed again and again, "It's better to have a princess than nothing." ”
Concubine Hui sobbed lowly, "But my body, it is impossible for me to be pregnant in the future! In order to give birth to this child, I have endured all the hardships in the past seven months, and I have carefully recuperated in every possible way, but my body is still losing even more!
Gao Shuren had no choice but to say: "Ming'er, you have a high position, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you can raise the sons of other concubines!"
Mrs. Gao's suggestion was indeed a good idea, but Concubine Hui was extremely sad at the moment, and she only held the child and cried blindly.
The sound of Concubine Hui's crying finally woke up the frail child in the swaddling clothes, and the child was crying in a low voice, thin and small, like a cat humming. Even if Concubine Hui hadn't given birth to a child before, she immediately saw that something was abnormal, "This child ...... Why are you so weak?!"
Gao Shuren's face was painful, "Ming'er, you have to be mentally prepared, this kid ...... How long it can stay depends on the will of God. ”
"!!No," Concubine Hui exclaimed, "How is this possible?!" -- although she was very disappointed that this was not an elder brother, but in the end, it was a piece of flesh that fell from her own body, how could she not pity it?
"No!!I don't believe it!!E-niang, go and call the imperial doctor!!Use the best medicine!!This child will definitely be raised!!" Concubine Hui cried and screamed, already hysterical.
Concubine Hui's little princess did not baptize three times, because the little princess started a high fever in the evening of the next day, even if the doctor tried his best to treat it, but the child could not eat much milk, let alone bitter medicine? Moreover, the child's digestive function was not sound, even if he ate it, he could not digest a few points. By the morning of the fifth day, the child was finally not breathing.
Children who die early, especially those who die only a few days after birth, cannot have a large funeral. On this day, it was raining lightly, and the sky was dark and gloomy, as if we were crying for this unfortunate child born in the royal family.
As the middle palace, the queen had to personally handle the funeral of the little princess, so she sent someone to take the small coffin to Chengqian Palace to collect the little princess's body. But Concubine Hui went crazy and hugged the child who was already cold, and refused to let go, and finally wore the body of the child, ran wildly all the way in the eternal alley of the palace, and broke into the front of the emperor's heart palace, although there were guards who stopped her from breaking into the heart palace, but Concubine Hui lost money after giving birth, and was overly sad, and it was raining, and she fainted outside the heart hall with the child in her arms.
How can such a thing not alarm the emperor? (To be continued......
