The crown princess's baby is not the first child, she has already given birth before, as usual, it should be much easier to have experience than when she gave birth to her first child. But when the first child was born, the crown princess was born smoothly, and the child's fetal position was also very positive, although it was difficult because of the first child, but there was no turmoil in the end.

Today, the imperial physician in the East Palace came and went, in and out, with an anxious and panicked look on her face.

When they saw Fu Hui and the Queen Mother who appeared at the gate of the East Palace, the anxiety on their faces became more and more urgent. Compared with the anxiety of the people underneath, the silence in the delivery room has become a panicked fear.

Fleur's hand clenched her palm tightly, and her eyes looked at the delivery room without blinking, and she didn't dare to speak.

How can it be so quiet?

Although Fleur has never given birth, she also knows that giving birth to a child is a painful sound, and the mother will often scream in pain until the child is born.

She subconsciously looked at the Queen Mother, only to see that the Queen Mother's face was also frowning slightly, but she just stopped a stable woman and asked a few words: "How long has the princess been having a seizure now, and can the child's fetal position still come over?" ”

The two questions that the Queen Mother asked briefly were also what Furao wanted to know the most. Hearing this, she couldn't help but look at the stable woman.

The stable woman also didn't expect that she would be asked by the queen mother, so she was so frightened that her body trembled, and then she hesitated and replied intermittently: "Back to the queen mother, the crown princess has been more than half an hour away from the seizure, and the child's fetal position is ...... Fetal position...... The slaves are trying to adjust. ”

Generally, experienced Wen Po, when encountering this kind of difficult birth, if the time is earlier, there is always some way to correct the fetal position. But this can't be guaranteed, after all, the fetal position is not correct can only be known when the child is born, in case the child has fallen into the pelvis to come out, and then it is very important to adjust the means of stabilizing the mother, but God's will is more important.

Otherwise, there would not be so many women who died in childbirth.

But this, how dare Wen Po say it to the Queen Mother, this is the royal daughter-in-law, and she can carry a royal heir in her belly, but if there is still a way, she can't say this bad result, but she doesn't dare to put on a guarantee, after all, if it doesn't happen, isn't this a lie to the Queen Mother?

And Wen Po's specious answer, Empress Dowager Wen was naturally not satisfied in her heart, but she didn't say anything, just rubbed her forehead with her hand, sighed and said, "Go in and take good care of the princess." ”

Empress Dowager Wen didn't say anything threatening Wen Po, but this simple sentence was loud and sound, causing Wen Po's body to tremble, and her expression became more and more cautious, and she only respectfully saluted Empress Dowager Wen and Fu Yuan, and then turned around and entered the house.

After sending away Wen Po, Empress Dowager Wen looked at Fu Hui and said softly: "You are not married yet, don't go in, go to the hall to sit first, and the mourning family will go into the house to have a look." ”

Hearing this, Fleur nodded without objection.

She didn't come to make trouble, she naturally knew what she could do and what she should do at this time.

"It's important for my grandmother to go to see the princess first, and I'll go to the hall by myself."

Fleur hurriedly made a statement.

And Empress Dowager Wen was also a little unconcerned about Fu Hui at this time, and when she heard Fu Fu's answer, she nodded with satisfaction, and turned around and went directly into the delivery room.

After sending Empress Dowager Wen into the house, Fu Hui didn't immediately go to sit in the hall next to her, she actually preferred to wait at the door and wait for the news, at least if the child was born, she could know immediately.

But the pestle was not a problem here after all, and Fleur stood for a while, and was about to walk towards the next hall, when she suddenly heard a sound outside the door, and she turned to look. Empress Wen, the eldest princess of Jinyang, and His Royal Highness Zhao Jin'an, the third prince, all came over.

When the three people who entered through the gate saw Fleur, their faces were all stunned, obviously not expecting Fleur to be here.

However, the three of them also rushed over as soon as they received the news, and they didn't even change their clothes, and they didn't even care about the questions in their hearts at this time, and Queen Wen directly asked about the situation of the crown princess.

"Fleur, how is your sister-in-law?"

Fu Hui didn't enter the house, she didn't know what the situation was inside, but if she answered like this, Queen Wen would definitely not be satisfied, she thought about it, and said softly: "Fang Cai Wen said that it has been more than half an hour since the crown princess's seizure, and she is trying her best to adjust the princess's fetal position, and her grandmother has just entered the house. ”

As soon as Empress Wen heard this, her body couldn't help but shake twice, covered her face and said mournfully: "How can this be, Jin Yuan has already left, if something happens to the crown princess and his child again, what should I do!" ”

Over the years, Empress Wen has always acted in a measured manner and done things decently, but she has always been well protected. There is the queen mother to maintain, the emperor cares about the feelings, and the rights and heirs who have been in hand smoothly, in the end, they have not experienced any storms.

What happened during this period of time was too heavy for her, and the heaviness made her a little unable to support it at this time.

The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at Queen Wen like this, but she didn't say anything to comfort her, but just said to Zhao Jinyan: "Help your queen mother up!" ”

After saying this, she said to Queen Wen again: "If the imperial sister-in-law falls at this time, what should the crown princess and the little imperial grandson do inside?" At this time, the imperial sister-in-law should become the support of the crown princess. ”

"I ......"

Empress Wen took a deep breath, but it was difficult to hold up, she glanced at the eldest princess of Jinyang, and then at the room behind her, and said softly: "Imperial sister, I'll go into the house to take a look, and accompany the crown princess." ”

"Okay, sister-in-law go slowly, I'll take the child and wait in the next room."

Although the eldest princess of Jinyang accompanied her today, she has never liked the crown princess, and the princess is also afraid of her.

The words of the eldest princess of Jinyang actually made Queen Wen breathe a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that the eldest princess of Jinyang would follow her into the house.

However, Queen Wen's demeanor also caused the eldest princess of Jinyang to laugh at it. This imperial sister-in-law really doesn't know how to look at her eyes, and she can't tell the situation.

In fact, if Zhao Jinyuan was still alive, she would not want the princess to give birth to a child, especially the birth of a grandson, but now, if she loves her younger generations, or if it is not her own business, she still hopes that the princess can give birth to an eldest grandson, at least, so Zhao Jinyuan has an heir in this world.

But the eldest princess of Jinyang has always been indifferent to other people's opinions, and naturally she will not explain.

Seeing Empress Wen enter the house, she took Fleur to the hall next to her. Zhao Jinyan also followed.

The eldest princess of Jinyang seemed to ignore this nephew directly, and as soon as she entered the hall, she said to Fu Yuan: "Didn't you let you go back with your brother to rest?" Why didn't you come along? ”

"I ran into my grandmother halfway through, and I wanted to come and have a look."

Fleur's answer was simple.

The eldest princess of Jinyang only looked at her helplessly, and spit out a sentence for a while: "You!" ”

After the eldest princess of Jinyang said this, she didn't speak to Fu Rui again, and Fu Rui was not in the mood to talk much at this time, and the hall was quiet.

The mother and daughter sat down in the row of seats on the left, and Zhao Jinyan also sat down quietly on the right.

Although the East Palace was busy and chaotic, the palace people in the East Palace were very eye-catching, and as soon as the three nobles sat down, a group of palace people immediately brought snacks and fruits, tea and fragrant tea came in, and placed them on the small table next to the three of them one by one.

But obviously, at this time, no one will be in the mood to use this, they are all absent-mindedly holding tea and thinking about things.

The Queen Mother and the Queen entered the Crown Princess's house, but they never came out, and the delivery room was always quiet, so waiting was undoubtedly uncomfortable.

The more I looked forward to this child in my heart, the more unbearable the pain of waiting at this time became, Fu Hui sat next to the eldest princess of Jinyang for a long time, she really couldn't help it, and asked the eldest princess of Jinyang: "Mother, why is there no sound in the delivery room?" ”

When the eldest princess of Jinyang heard this, her eyelids lifted slightly, and she only re-covered the lid of the tea cup separated in her hand in the teacup, and then said: "The prince is gone, and no one will pity the princess when she calls it out at this time, so it is better to grit her teeth quietly and save some strength to have a child." ”

The eldest princess of Jinyang did not answer directly, and even a little yin and yang, but the meaning of the words was understood by everyone present, obviously the crown princess did not call, but it was a good thing.

Fu Rui thought about it, and wanted to ask again, but at this time, suddenly a sharp cry came from the delivery room next door, and Fu Rui and Zhao Jinyan stood up in shock, but they almost didn't rush out of the door.

And what followed was a burst of baby crying.

This burst of baby crying made everyone present stunned, even the eldest princess of Jinyang was no exception, she didn't expect that the princess would give birth so quickly, although this baby is not the first child, it stands to reason that it will be faster, but after all, the princess has a difficult birth, and it is common for others to give birth smoothly, and it is common to drag it on for most of the night or even all night. How many hours has it been for the crown princess?

But after all, it is a good thing to be born.

The eldest princess of Jinyang slowly stood up and said to Fu Hui: "Since we have given birth, then we don't have to stay here." ”

Furao was stunned for a moment when she heard this, she didn't know anything about it, she just knew that the crown princess was born, so she was going back? Furao was a little reluctant in her heart, she wanted to ask about the situation of the crown princess and the child, and she also wanted to see the child left by His Royal Highness the crown prince with her own eyes.

But for the eldest princess of Jinyang, it doesn't matter if the crown princess gives birth to this child, is she still alive? Is this child male or female? As long as she knew that the child was born safely, it didn't matter.

Seeing that Fu Hui was still hesitant and unwilling to leave, she couldn't help but nod Fu Fu's forehead, and said softly: "Okay, things are busy in the East Palace, isn't your pestle here an eyesore?" If you want to see the child, you can also watch it in the future. ”

After that, without waiting for Fleur's reply, he turned around and left.

Fu Rui looked at the chic and neat figure of the eldest princess of Jinyang, hesitated for a moment, but obediently followed.

Zhao Jinyan stood in place and watched the two leave, but he didn't follow, he came out of the hall and waited directly at the door of the delivery room, after waiting for a long time, the door creaked open, and the queen mother and the queen walked out from inside, as well as a nursing mother holding a densely wrapped baby.

As she walked, the Queen Mother said to the queen: "Okay, what are you crying about, the crown princess descended the emperor's grandson, this is a good thing, isn't your crying unlucky?" ”

"Queen Mother, Erchen knows, but Erchen is distressed......"

The queen's words were still unfinished, looking at the child in the nurse's arms, her eyes revealed infinite sadness.

The arrival of this child was what she had been looking forward to, and it was also what many people in the palace had been looking forward to, but it was not the right time.

Originally, he should have been the most respected and noble eldest grandson of the emperor, but now that the prince is gone, the East Palace will be dispersed.

Although he is still the eldest grandson of the emperor, when it comes to status, whether the prince is alive or not is completely one heaven and one earth.

When the queen thought of what the emperor said before, she felt uncomfortable.

Obviously, the prince has an heir, but why doesn't the emperor care about the prince's heir at all, and doesn't want to leave something for him.

Her complicated gaze slowly moved from the child to Zhao Jinyan's body, sighed softly, and finally hid the thousands of emotions in her heart, and said in a light tone: "Since the emperor has an order that he wants to see the child, then take it to the emperor now!" ”

Zhao Jinyan nodded and answered yes.

In fact, he was not so dull that he didn't even feel such an obvious love as the queen, but at this moment, everything he said was wrong, it was better not to say anything.

When he looked at the child in the nurse's arms with his usual indifferent gaze, he showed a hint of softness, but at the same time, there was also a little pain and melancholy, if his crown brother was still alive, how good it would be to be able to witness the birth of this child with his own eyes.

The sky sank, and in Cihua Palace, the Queen Mother had not yet returned, but the eldest princess of Jinyang beckoned the palace people to set up a meal.

The sumptuous meal was brought in and placed on the table by the palace people one by one, Xia Yuelang had already eaten happily, but Fu Hui was holding chopsticks and plucking the rice, and he didn't eat half a minute.

The eldest princess of Jinyang was most annoyed that others were not eating well, and when she saw it, she couldn't help but put a chopstick fish meat in the hibiscus bowl, and reminded: "Eat well, count what grains of rice." ”

Fu Hui came back to her senses and looked at the eldest princess of Jinyang with a look of displeasure. She was a little embarrassed on her face, and hurriedly picked up the fish meat that the eldest princess of Jinyang gave her and put it in her mouth, and saw that the eldest princess of Jinyang didn't stare at her anymore, so she breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to get distracted anymore, and ate obediently.

Halfway through the meal, Empress Dowager Wen suddenly came back from outside.

Although it is not winter at this time, the day is not cold, and when the Empress Dowager Wen walked in, the door opened, bringing in a gust of cold wind. However, before the people in their house could speak, Empress Dowager Wen had already opened her mouth and instructed the palace people below: "Burn the earth dragon, burn it warm." ”

Burning Dragon?

That's an exaggeration, isn't it? The rules of the palace clearly stipulate that it is not possible to burn the earth dragon fire wall at that time, although the emperor is filial, and the queen mother really wants to burn it without hindrance, but the queen mother has never been a person who is greedy for pleasure and wasteful, that is, the palace rules have no restrictions on her at all, and she will also abide by the palace rules. Sometimes the weather gets colder, but before it's time to burn the dragon, she at most has two charcoal stoves in the house to keep warm.

What's more, it's not cold today.

However, everyone's eyes soon saw the little swaddling baby in the hands of the nurse who followed behind the Queen Mother.

"This is the emperor's eldest grandson?"

Fu Yuan stood up with a little excitement, Empress Dowager Wen nodded, looked at the child's eyes with kindness, and said softly and slowly: "Yes, the emperor's eldest grandson is weak, but he has to be carefully raised." ”

She personally picked up the child from the hands of the nursing mother, slowly hugged it to Fu Hui and the eldest princess of Jinyang, and said softly: "This child, the mourning family has already agreed with the emperor, and the mourning family will raise it in the future." ”

"Is my grandmother raising you?"

Fu Hui had some doubts on her face, but when the eldest princess of Jinyang heard this, she nodded in agreement and said softly, "The queen mother is attentive, this child can grow up under the mother's knees, and there will be a guarantee in the future." ”

The eldest princess of Jinyang knew the emperor's meaning, and naturally knew that the emperor did not plan to pass on the throne to an emperor's eldest grandson, and this emperor's eldest grandson would be a prince in the future, although Zhao Jinyan may have remembered the prince's brotherhood, and he would not treat this emperor's eldest grandson harshly in the future.

But according to the rules, once Zhao Jinyan sits on the throne in the future, those people in the East Palace are estimated to follow the emperor's eldest grandson to live outside the palace. The eldest grandson of the emperor is still weak, and it will take at least ten years before he grows up, and it is difficult to guarantee that the crown prince will decline.

If the Queen Mother is willing to raise it herself, it will be a kind and guarantee for the emperor's eldest grandson.

"There is not much that the mourning family can do, and they don't want to meddle in this matter, after all, this child grows up peacefully, in fact, it is enough, but this child looks a little similar to Jin Yuan, and the mourning family is really reluctant to look at it."

As she spoke, Empress Dowager Wen reached out and opened the hood covering the child's head, and love appeared in her eyes.

The eldest princess of Jinyang and Fu Hui couldn't help but look at the child's little face, even Xia Yuelang was no exception. In fact, if you really want to say that this child looks like Zhao Jinyuan, it is not necessarily, after all, the child has just been born, his face is still wrinkled and red, and his facial features are crowded together and he can't see too much.

But after all, this is the prince's widow, and in his heart, it seems that the child really looks like a shadow of Zhao Jinyuan, and everyone is willing to believe it like this.

Fleur looked at it, her eyes couldn't help but be a little red, she wanted to stroke the child's sparsely hairy head, but she didn't dare, and finally only looked up at the Queen Mother and said softly: "Grandmother, can I often go into the palace to see this child?" ”

"Of course, you're her aunt."

Empress Dowager Wen replied with a smile, and whispered to Fu Hui: "Come, hug this child." ”

"I ......" Fu Hui was a little overwhelmed, she had never held such a young child, but when she looked up and saw the encouragement of Empress Dowager Wen and the eldest princess of Jinyang, she carefully took it from Empress Dowager Wen and put it in her arms.

Furui's posture was very stiff, and the eldest princess of Jinyang couldn't help but correct it with a smile, and teased in her mouth: "It's really not a mother who doesn't know how to raise a child, and she doesn't even know how to hold a child!" ”

Under the ridicule of the eldest princess of Jinyang, Fu Hui finally learned to hold the child.

At this time, the child in his arms suddenly opened his eyes, and his bright eyes met Fleur's gaze. Fleur was stunned for a moment, and a happy smile appeared on her face: "He's looking at me, he's looking at me!" ”

"This stupid child, the child has just been born, where can I see it?" Empress Dowager Wen smiled and leaned in, although she said that the child couldn't see it, she couldn't help but grab the child's little hand and tease it.

The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the child like this, and a trace of love appeared on her face and said softly: "There are indeed very few people who open their eyes when they are born, and the children of our family are smart." ”

Xia Yuelang's heart was itching when he watched from the side, and he couldn't help but want to hug the child, but everyone disliked Xia Yuelang's hairy hands, where would he let him hug him. The eldest princess of Jinyang rebuked with a dissatisfied face: "If you want to hold the child, you will hurry up and find a daughter-in-law to give birth to yourself." ”

"It's not fair, this child wasn't born by Fleur, why can Fleur hold it!"

Xia Yuelang covered his buttocks, which had been punched by the eldest princess of Jinyang, and screamed.

At this time, the door was suddenly slammed open, everyone in the house was stunned for a moment, and the child in Fleur's arms was also frightened and cried by the sudden kicking of the door.

Outside the gate, the princess with an angry face and a group of palace people who bowed their heads and confessed their sins and begged for mercy walked in.

Empress Dowager Wen and the eldest princess of Jinyang lost their smiles on their faces, and Empress Dowager Wen beckoned to the palace people who asked for sin, signaled everyone to retreat, and then looked at the crown princess, but she was not angry, and whispered to the princess: "What's wrong with you, you just gave birth to a child, the weather is so cold, the wind is so strong, it's not good to be a confinement child, go outside to blow the wind." I don't take care of my body. ”

For the first time, the crown princess did not have a respectful look, she looked at the child in Furao's arms in a daze, and muttered: "Give me back the child!" ”

The crown princess's expression was quiet and a little terrifying, Fu Rui was a little uneasy, and subconsciously took a step back, who knows if her actions angered the princess, or the princess had already planned. Suddenly, the crown princess rushed over, and her posture was not at all like a woman who had just given birth.

Everyone looked at the crown princess like this, and subconsciously wanted to go up to block it, but at this time, the crown princess suddenly fell to the ground by herself, and her mouth let out a wail.

Before everyone could react, a large area of bright red blood soaked the lower half of the crown princess's body.

This qiē happened in an instant.

The eldest princess of Jinyang was the first to come back to her senses, and hurriedly shouted at the palace man standing on the side: "Go and ask for the imperial doctor." ”

And the Empress Dowager Wen also hurriedly stepped forward to call the palace people to help the princess who fell to the ground, and others didn't know where the Empress Dowager Wen would stay in the delivery room when the princess gave birth. The princess was born in an improper fetal position, although she later adjusted the fetal position slightly by relying on her mother-in-law, but there was still some tearing at the bottom. Ordinary women have to take care of their children for a month after giving birth safely, and the crown princess has lost her blood like this, so she should recuperate well.

Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Wen wanted to raise the eldest grandson of the emperor under her knees, in addition to her feelings for the prince, she did not have the idea of sympathizing with their mother and son. She has seen the emperor's situation, and naturally sees that the emperor is afraid that he will not last long, if others ascend the throne in the future, the crown princess and her son have no reason to stay in the palace, and the orphans and widows go out of the palace to set up another palace, that is, the palace will take care of it, and life will definitely be sad.

But if the eldest grandson of the emperor is raised under her knees, the crown princess can naturally stay in the palace, although the queen mother has never liked the princess very much, but thinking about her grandson, thinking about her great-grandson is also relieved. Who knew that the crown princess would suddenly run out and make such a scene.

Although she was a little unhappy in her heart, she didn't blame the princess, who knows, here she still wants to help the princess up in person, but the princess suddenly struggled violently, stretched out a pair of blood-stained hands, and stretched out in the direction of the hibiscus, her breath was like a gossamer, but her eyes were bright and terrible, and she couldn't stop muttering: "Give me back the child, give me back the child!" ”

One by one, there was a terrible and sad scream.
