Chapter 164: The Golden Year of Chang'an (23)

The smile on Yinghua's face and the hand holding the teacup froze in place, Kang Saburo glanced at her, suddenly lost his words, hurriedly changed the topic, and said to Mu Qing with a smile, "When will the little baby be born?" On the day of the three dynasties, a certain person will bring a golden basin to see. ”

Mu Qing quickly glanced at Yinghua, who was lost and depressed, and his heart sank, and he responded to Kang Saburo, "The wooden basin is complete, I am not a noble family here, the little doll's life is still shallow, and the golden basin is too precious, I'm afraid I can't hold it down." ”

Kang Saburo saw a good situation, and when he saw this situation, he laughed casually, then said that he was in a hurry, and got up to say goodbye.

Mu Qing stood up and sent it off slightly, and then looked back at Yinghua, her face had eased, and she drank tea casually.

"Yinghua, you have to understand, Erlang he ......" Mu Qing put one hand on her shoulder, and said half a sentence, but he didn't know how to continue, paused, and felt that it was better to tell the truth, some words sounded like a stick, stiff and heavy, but they could teach people not to go the wrong way. Erlang is now the second son of King Tang, and with his identity, the cluster of wives and concubines is common. As you know, it was about a prince in the future, and the backyard was even more luxuriant. Subsequently......"

"Then he will be crowned with a great treasure, and there are countless beauties in the three palaces and six courtyards, but he is attentive and self-controlled." Yinghua smiled slightly, and took her words, "Since ancient times, emperors have been ruthless, I understand this truth. Sister, rest assured, since I have made up my mind not to be a concubine, even if it is an honorable imperial concubine, it is not in my eyes. ”

Mu Qing nodded silently, sighed deeply in his heart, how could he rest assured, in the past, when he was young, he would still make a fuss if he was unhappy, but now that he is big, he will not make a fuss, I don't know what is hidden in this quiet and indifferent, I can't guess it, and it is inevitable to worry. Bijiro is such an unrelenting heart, and he refuses to let go of it after holding it.

"You're not young anymore, and since you have no intention of Erlang, that's great." Mu Qing suddenly had a broken thought, and said: "When your brother-in-law is free in a few days, I will discuss with him, find a suitable person, and I should also send you out of the cabinet." ”

Yinghua knocked over the teacup in his hand with a panicked expression, stared at her in disbelief, and then whispered with a little weakness: "Sister, don't talk to your brother-in-law about this, I, I think, I want to help him become a champion with my own hands, and I will talk about it when he steps on the throne." ”

After saying that, she was about to leave, Mu Qing reached out to help the fallen teacup, and inadvertently blocked her way, "If you plan like this, it's not bad, just wait for another three or two years, and when the big things are done, you can earn a job, and at that time, you will be able to raise your status and marry more decently." ”

Yinghua is a straight-hearted person in the end, where can she withstand her use of these words to provoke, immediately changed color, bowed his head and hurriedly ran away. Mu Qing was left alone to sit at the stone table and hold his forehead and sigh.

In the evening, Du Ruhui returned to the house, with the smell of alcohol, and his mind was clear. Mu Qing frowned, "Drink so much wine." ”

"There's not much, it's stained between the welcome and the push." He took off his robe and tossed it aside. Mu Qing took a plain dress and stood on tiptoe to put it on for him, but he took the robe and didn't wear it, and sat down with a tired expression.

"But tired of feasting?"

Du Ruhui shook his head, "Xue Ju of Jincheng County led the troops to occupy Fufeng County. It's a shame that you left Jinyang first, if it's a few days late, I'm afraid it will be ...... Thinking about it makes people panic. ”

"Isn't it, isn't it going to be another expedition in the blink of an eye?" Mu Qing's eyes widened, and she involuntarily put her hand on her belly, and she couldn't help but feel regret in her heart, she thought that he could accompany her when the child was born, but this idea was afraid that it would be in vain.

"Not necessarily that fast." He leaned down and stroked her lower abdomen, "Da Lang and Erlang are of the same heart this time, and they are about to take the opportunity to force the Zen Commander in the Daxing Palace to Li Gong, so he is willing to send troops to meet Xue Ju." ”

"Li Gong is willing to accept it?"

"I want to make a gesture, after all, the abolished emperor of Jiangdu is still there, and the old ministers are also there, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

"What if Yang Yu is willing to let in, but Li Gong refuses to accept it?"

"And I have to be persuaded." Du Ruhui didn't want to say any more, putting aside this, "What do you do, you just have to keep it in peace." ”

Mu Qing suddenly remembered the events of the day, and grabbed him again and asked, "Erlang is the little lady of General Yin's family?" ”

Du Ruyan was stunned for a moment, "You don't leave home, how do you know?" ”

"You don't care how I know, I have my own way, you just say whether there is such a thing."

"Kang Saburo's letter." Du Ruhui said with a smile: "The female relatives of the Yin family should have been filled into the court as maids according to the rules, but because General Yin was entrusted on his deathbed, Erlang was benevolent and respected General Yin, so he went to Daxing Palace to ask the little lady of the Yin family to come out, and intended to hold a feast, obviously to take a concubine, but in fact, it was to let outsiders know that although General Yin was not there, the Yin family still had to rely on, so as to teach the Yin family not to live too miserably after being separated. ”

……

After the Shangyuan Festival, the momentum of the cold wind is not as good as one day, in the blink of an eye, the whole Daxing City wakes up with the spring, in the fields on the outskirts of the city, after the famine of the last year, the first batch of seeds has been soothed, and the seedlings are growing gratifyingly. The city is in ruins, and the shops in the east and west seem to smell something, but all those that still have the strength to reopen are reopening one after another.

The Xinrong on his face covered up the turbulence in the Daxing Palace, the puppet emperor who had been on the throne for less than half a year did not enter the spring with the whole city, and even the time forgot him in the biting cold winter, the magnificent dragon chair seemed to be covered with sharp ice cubes, stabbing him not to sit or stand.

Yang Yu is weak, never thought of sitting on this dragon chair, just to save his life, to live a quiet idle life, but Tang Guogong pressed him on this chair full of spikes, now his two sons want him to stand up, give the dragon chair to Li Gong, Li Gong still pressed him to death, did not teach him to get up, forced him to cry without tears, if it is not for this identity, he really wants to ask you to raise your noble hands, let him live.

Seeing Xue Ju's army marching south step by step, the two sons of Li Gong, Yang Yu, and the Li family froze into an interlocking dead end, and it was clear that their hearts were all impatient because of Xue Jujin, but no one was willing to let go of this hand first.

is also restless, as well as Mu Qing in the low-key mansion without a plaque in Yongxingfang. After the Shangyuan Dynasty, Zhao Cang went to the house twice a month to check the pulse, and it was conclusively sure that the day of production would not go beyond the tenth day of April, but it was already April 15, and there was no movement at all. Ah Liu chattered all day long, but he also ran out of ideas.

The pot-bellied person can't walk, and he can't sleep peacefully at night, no matter how impatient Mu Qing is, his abdomen is flat and stable.

The two midwives who had already been looking for came to visit almost every day, and laughed that the baby in Mu Qing's belly was probably calm, and even the birth was not in a hurry. Hearing this, Mu Qing couldn't help but turn his head to look at Du Ruhui with a grudge on his face, isn't he talking about such a temperament.

On April 13, even those who were as stable as Du Ruyan could not hold back, and the two midwives were not allowed to return home, so they sent people to clean up a side room, and then sent people to the midwives' house to get the daily change of clothes and utensils, so that they could live in the house.

Although the two midwives did not know the identity of this family, they had also heard some things about the couple in the community, and knew that the lady who was going to give birth was a noble person who did not show the landscape.

It wasn't until April 15, when the fourth watch was about to pass, and when the fifth watch was approaching, Mu Qing lay down and leaned on the two brocade supports, and fell asleep for an hour in a daze, when a sudden constriction pain came from her stomach, which made her gasp and open her eyes suddenly, but the pain disappeared.

She lay down suspiciously, and after another moment, Shicai's pain hit again, and she sat up abruptly from the brocade again, waking up Du Ruhui beside her.

"I'm afraid it's time." She hesitated.

Du Ruhui jumped up from the bed, picked up the night lamp, looked at her in a daze, suddenly woke up, hurriedly put on leather boots, grabbed the robe on the shelf, and stepped out of the inner room in a few steps before he had time to put it on, and urgently called someone in the courtyard.

In a moment, the lights of the whole house gradually turned on, and the two midwives were still asleep, teaching Ah Liu to pull up, and when they heard that the lady was about to give birth, they were completely sleepy, and they were full of energy and rushed to the main courtyard.

Du Ruhui was about to lift his feet into the house, but was stopped by the midwife, "The blood in the house is heavy, I'm afraid of rushing, Ah Lang still doesn't want to go in." ”

He was still thinking about what kind of blood he hadn't seen, and he didn't plan to listen to the midwife's obstruction, so he raised his foot and taught Ah Liu to block it, "Ah Lang is useless even if he goes in, he didn't teach the two midwives to panic and have no intention of delivering the baby, but to make Qi Niang bad." And when this was effective, he did not want to go in any more, but sat down on a drum-shaped stone bench in the courtyard, and sat still.

The midwife entered the house to investigate, and said with a smile, "It's still early, and the lady has some strength to stay behind." So he sent someone to boil water and prepare a decoction for raising qi, and he was busy until daylight.

Mu Qing was already soaked in pain in the house, and he wanted to scream loudly at any time, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, only snorting a few times when he was in extreme pain, and he didn't know how long he would endure. Ah Liu was by her side and constantly wiped her sweat, and urged her to cry out if the pain was unbearable. Yinghua walked back and forth like headless flies in the courtyard, and although Du Ruhui was still sitting on the stone bench, his heart was already in turmoil.

A midwife came out to change the cloth, he jumped up from the stone bench, Yinghua moved one step faster than him, and grabbed the midwife's arm, "What is the situation with Sister?" Why don't you hear any movement? This, when will this be born? ”

The midwife suffered pain in her arm, and taught her to grasp her elbow tightly, and secretly complained in her heart, how could this little lady's hand have such strength, like iron tongs, she didn't dare to show it on her face, and only smiled curtly: "Don't worry, don't worry." The lady is still the firstborn at this age, so it will be harder, but the situation is good, and it is estimated that she will hold on for another three or two hours...... "R1152
