Although there is no direct evidence pointing to Concubine Shu of Hehuan Palace, in order to avoid suspicion, Concubine Shu actually met the Queen Mother early the next morning, and invited herself to go out of the palace to practice and pray for the first emperor.

There was no conclusive evidence, and it was inconvenient for the Queen Mother to punish her, but in order to give Yufu Palace an explanation, the Queen Mother made up her mind after discussing with Song Chen. A few days later, the Qinzheng Palace issued a holy decree to deliberately allow Concubine Shu to leave the palace, so with a few carriages, there was a lack of master in the palace.

Although this matter can only go so far and the real culprit has not been found, Chu Xue was not discouraged, but on the contrary, she saw a glimmer of hope. She still remembers the days when she was first pregnant, and Qijing once confirmed that Li Jiaoyun had been in a coma for more than six months when she was pregnant with Song Qi, and she was also in a dystocia during childbirth......

She is even more sure that Li Jiaoyun was also a bad plot for Xu Jinhe back then.

But although she understands this matter, if she wants to use it against Xu Jinhe, it is still not feasible, because there is no evidence.

Although this qiē must be indispensable to Liao Zhong, the former palace doctor, but now that person is not in the palace, she is a deep palace woman, and it is difficult to even go out of the palace by herself, how to find the person outside the palace?

Outside the palace?

Her mind raced, and she suddenly had an idea. Touching Gao Long's pregnant belly, she remembered that when the child was born, the mother could come to the palace to visit, and then she could ask the parents outside the palace for this matter.

After detoxifying the poison of sleep devouring, Chu Xue's spirit improved greatly, seeing that it was already May, and it was getting closer and closer to the delivery date estimated by the imperial doctor, she was excited and nervous, waiting for the arrival of the child all the time.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, Chu Xue finished her breakfast and took a walk in the imperial garden, and when she came back, she saw that the three girls of Ruyue, Jinyu, and Huixin were planning to make zongzi, and materials such as zongzi leaves and glutinous rice were placed on the stone table in the courtyard. She suddenly wondered that she had never wrapped zongzi before, so she wanted to reach out and try it. Wait for it to be wrapped, if it is delicious, I will also send a few to Song Chen.

So she washed her hands and sat down.

At first, it didn't look like it, but after three or four of them, it gradually took on a shape, and she was overjoyed and became more serious.

When she got to the eighth, she really had a decent green dumpling in her hand, she was very proud, and raised it to show off to a few girls, "Look at this, isn't it very good?" ”

The master of his own family occasionally shows the lively side of the girl, and the few of them are about to be praised, but they suddenly see her smiling, and they are stunned.

Ruyue immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it ......"

"Yue'er, I seem to be about to give birth...... she looked at Ruyue with wide eyes, and as another hot current gushed out from under her, she confirmed her guess and said, "It seems that the water is broken......"

Ruyue immediately took action, commanding Yanling Qijing to help her into the hall, and sending someone to invite Cheng Zizhen and Wen Po.

Chu Xue cautiously moved into the hall and lay down, anxiously waiting for the faint pain, and after a while, the imperial doctor and Wen Po rushed over.

After the imperial doctor and Wen Po checked her pulse, they determined that she was about to give birth, and in addition to preparing immediately, they did not forget to comfort her carefully.

She knew that this was the only way to become a mother, Li Jiaoyun and her mother had told her, although it was very painful, but she could get through, she also believed that she could, while comforting herself, she also spoke softly to the child in her womb, "Child, you are about to come out, we are about to meet, don't be afraid, work hard with my mother." ”

With the arrival of the imperial doctor and Wen Po, after a while, Song Chen also rushed over from the Qinzheng Palace, because he wanted to avoid it, he couldn't get to her, only comforted her through the door of the inner hall, "Xue'er, I'm here, don't be afraid, I'm with you outside." ”

She was not very painful at this time, Wen Po said that the first child would have to survive about five or six hours from pain to birth, she was worried that he would wait too long to avoid fatigue and delay political affairs, so she raised her voice to persuade him, "Your Majesty, the concubine is fine now, I heard that the child will have to wait for a while when it comes out, you go and rest first, and you will come back when the concubine is about to give birth, okay?" ”

Hearing her voice was quite steady, Song Chen was a little relieved, but he still refused to leave, and waited in the outer hall for a while, until he heard that a minister was waiting for an order in the Qinzheng Palace, so he was willing to go back.

The pain struck, gradually from light to severe, from sparse to dense, Chu Xue could bear it at first, but when more than four hours passed, and her waist was so painful that she wanted to be twisted, she finally couldn't help but shout. The four stable women comforted her together, saying that the more pain it was, the sooner the child would come out, and she must work hard, she gritted her teeth and nodded, trying her best to resist the more intense and frequent severe pain.

The summer days are long, and it is already night at this time, and it has been five hours, and suddenly, a stable woman said happily after checking it, "Niangniang, the time has come, you work hard!" ”

She nodded, she was so painful that she couldn't speak, but she still remembered the method that Wen Po had taught before, and concentrated on gathering all her strength to work in one place.

This seems to be the most difficult long-distance run in her life, she closed her eyes tightly, and felt that her eyelids were dim, she seemed to hear that Song Chen was back again, and she was anxiously comforting her outside, but she couldn't pay attention to it at all, and tried her best to endure the pain again and again.

I don't know how long it took, as if she was about to be tired and unconscious, she suddenly heard the surprised voices of the stable women, "Come out, come out, Niangniang work harder, the child's head has come out!" ”

She seemed to grit her teeth, and finally after a long period of holding her breath, she felt an empty abdomen, and then listened to the good news, "Okay, okay, Niangniang, the child has been born, you have given birth to a little princess, congratulations Niangniang!" ”

She finally relieved herself and breathed a long sigh of relief, and with another pain in her stomach not long after, the placenta was also delivered, and her task was finally completed.

She closed her eyes in peace of mind and fell asleep.

Song Chen waited anxiously in the main hall, half an hour ago he hurriedly finished dealing with the affairs of the previous dynasty, and he didn't even bother to eat, so he immediately rushed over, and when he entered the door, he had already heard Xue'er's shouting in the inner hall. Although he already has four children, this time, he is sincerely worried. Because at the moment, it was the only Xue'er in his heart who was dying in pain, the little life that was about to be born, was their first child, he usually couldn't see her crying, but at this moment her cry was in his ears, so how could he not be worried?

Besides, this child has only been ten months since he arrived, but he has already experienced too many things, and he can't let their mother and son have any more accidents.

Just when the king was frowning and anxious, suddenly a loud baby cry came from the inner room, his eyes lit up, and then he saw a stable woman come out of the inner hall, knelt down in front of him and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, Concubine Yi gave birth to a little princess!" ”

His heart was half gone, and then he asked, "How is Concubine Yi?" ”

Wen Po hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the mother is very good, and the mother and daughter are safe!" ”

The heart hanging high has landed steadily.

A moment later, the door of the inner hall was opened again, and another stable woman walked up to him with a dragon pattern brocade quilt in her arms, and said on her knees: "Your Majesty, this is your little princess." ”

He cautiously stretched out his hand and took the brocade quilt into his arms with the small things in it, and looked at it carefully.

The pink and soft ball is his daughter, the daughter that Cher gave birth to for him. Although the little guy has only been born for a quarter of an hour or two, he is not crying or making trouble at the moment, and is carefully looking at the world with dark eyes, including his father who is looking at him tenderly in this world.

Her mouth is small, the luster pink is like her mother's, her eyes are dark and bright, like the most precious pearl in the South China Sea, although the little man was just born, but because she was well raised in her mother's belly, she was not wrinkled like an ordinary child, but very stretched, such a delicate face, except for the big and round eyes, look closely, in fact, more like him.

He was full of tenderness, and after staring at it for a while, he smiled and said, "Okay, good, everyone in Yufu Palace today has a reward!" ”

A deep voice came, and the baby baby blinked her dark eyes, just looking at the source of the voice, her father.

~~

As soon as Chu Xue woke up, she saw Song Chen's handsome face.

"Awake?" He asked softly.

She smiled and nodded lightly, and asked, "Your Majesty, what time is it?" ”

"It's almost halfway there." He replied, and gently cut the hair on her forehead.

As soon as she nodded, she quickly asked, "Where is the child?" ”

He knew that she was nervous, so he hurriedly comforted, "I just took it to the Queen Mother to see, and the nurse is looking at it now, the child is fine, rest assured." ”

She breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face again.

"Hungry? I asked people to cook porridge and eat some? ”

From the morning to now, she has only eaten one breakfast, and then when she was in pain, she only hurriedly drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, and then she used up her strength, and she was indeed a little hungry at this time, she nodded and hummed, and then said: "The concubine wants to see the child." ”

"Okay, I'll bring it to you." When his words fell, the maids in the palace immediately got busy, Yanling went to find the nurse to hold the child, and Ruyue went to serve her porridge.

Song Chen took matters into his own hands, put a soft pillow on her back, and helped her sit up a little, and as soon as she adjusted her posture, she saw the nurse take the child in and hand it to her.

She opened her hand to take it, like Song Chen just now, hugged it in her arms and looked at it carefully. The little one was full of milk at the nurse's place, and now she was sleeping soundly, she looked carefully at her little facial features, small face, and couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.

This is the first flesh and blood relative that God has given her after so many years, this is her child, the child who has been raised in her womb for ten months, this is her child with him. There are too many sighs in her heart, and feeling the heavy weight of the little guy at the moment, she really realizes that she has a child and she is a mother.

This year, she was eighteen years old and became a mother for the first time.

Ejiao longan porridge had also been served, and Song Chen waited for her to look at it for a while before reminding softly, "Let's eat something first, the coming day will be long, and it will be enough for you to see later." ”

She smiled and finally handed the baby over to the nurse. Song Chen personally took the porcelain bowl in Ruyue's hand and fed her spoonful by spoonful.

She obediently opened her mouth, and after eating a bowl of porridge, she said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine only gave birth to a daughter, will you regret it?" ”

Song Chen handed the bowl to the people around him, and took the handkerchief to wipe her mouth before saying, "Fool, do you think I will regret saying such things now?" ”

She was stunned, shook her head, and said half-truthfully: "The concubine doesn't know." ”

Knowing that she was tempting again, but this time he couldn't bear to laugh, so he just hugged the person into his arms and said: "As long as it is my child, I will never regret it, I have three sons, but in the past there was only one daughter Ning Ning, and now there is finally another one, it is too late for me to be happy, how can I regret it?" ”

She nodded in his arms, and listened to him again: "Just now while you were asleep, I thought of a name." ”

She looked up at him, and he smiled slightly, "Le." ”

Her eyes lit up, and she said, "Le? ”

He nodded and said, "I hope she will be safe and happy in her life." ”

"Hmm." She also nodded and said, "The concubine will give the child the name of the emperor." ”

He said: "Okay, since you like it too, I will plan a title for her tomorrow in the Ministry of Rites, and when the moon is full, I will announce it to the world." ”

Tell the world that his beloved woman gave birth to a precious daughter for him.
