Chapter 110: The Prince is Born
The emperor is on an expedition, and the queen mother has to take care of the virtuous concubine. There are many public affairs in the www.biquge.info of the Pavilion, and the emperor had to summon Concubine Shu back and let her assist in the affairs of the harem. Ji Feicui is about to give birth, this is a major event in the palace, and it is also a major event for the Ji family.
After Ji Zhongting and his wife received Moyu's letter, they hurried back with a big burden, they thought it was Moyu, what was the matter? As a result, when I came back, Mo Yu stayed in the Jade Immortal Palace in a dignified manner, but it was Ji Jade, ready to give birth. Since they have come back, they have to wait for Ji Feicui to leave after they are born.
On this day, Mo Yu summoned Ji Zhongting into the Jade Immortal Palace and sent him back, and the two of them talked about it for a long time, as for what they were talking about, no one knew except the two of them. I only knew that Ji Zhongting's expression was not very good when he left the Jade Immortal Palace.
On September 15, it was night, and Concubine Xian suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach in the middle of the night. Everyone in the palace knows that this is the concubine who is going to give birth, but fortunately, the midwife has already arranged for the Ciming Palace, and she is not panicking. He summoned the imperial doctor into the palace overnight to prevent accidents.
The lights in the Ciming Hall were bright, the palace maids and eunuchs were busy in an orderly manner, and the doors in the hall opened and closed, closed and opened. A group of concubines, including Mo Yu, were waiting outside the hall, listening to the shouts coming from inside the hall. It turns out that it is such a terrible thing for a woman to give birth to a child!
Concubine Shu looked at the closed door and said worriedly: "It's almost dawn this day, why hasn't it been born yet?" I lost my strength to shout. ”
Concubine De sat aside and said, "Concubine Shu has never given birth to a child, of course I don't know." Concubine Xian is the first child, so it will naturally be harder. ”
"Didn't Concubine De also never give birth to a child? How do you know so clearly. Concubine Shu said angrily.
"What Concubine Shu said is that this palace has never given birth to a child. But now that Jingde is under the knees of this palace, he will also have a dependency in the future. ”
Mo Yu lowered her head, secretly thinking about Concubine De's words. Concubine Shu has no children, and even if the emperor dies in the future, it will inevitably accompany the fate of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha. But Concubine De is different, although Princess Jingde is not her own, she is raised under her knees, and she will also be the princess's mother in the future, and she can live in the palace as a concubine.
"You two stop arguing." The Queen Mother said solemnly, listening to the screams in the middle of the night, and the two of them were still buzzing in her ears. "If you're tired, go back to the palace and rest."
"The concubine doesn't dare." Shude and the others apologized one after another, the Queen Mother is still sitting here, how dare they go to sleep!
I don't know how long later, when it was almost dawn, a baby's cry came from the room. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, their eyes falling on the door that was about to open.
Everyone was looking forward to the opening of that door to see if Concubine Xian was dead or alive. In fact, they don't care about the virtuous concubine, they care about the child, and the gender of the child.
The door was finally opened, and Concubine Xian's personal palace maid Xiao Yue appeared at the door of the room, bowed down and said crisply: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, Concubine Xian Niangniang gave birth to a prince." ”
"Thank God, thank you Bodhisattva, thank you ancestors. My Zhou country finally has a queen, and Zhou has a queen. The Queen Mother clasped her hands together, and her happy face showed her jade face. Mo Yu looked at everyone, Concubine De was expressionless, and Concubine Shu was a little lost. The first prince of the Zhou State was born, and several families were happy and some were sad.
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."
"Reward, all reward." This is the emperor's first son and the queen mother's first grandson. The Queen Mother said happily.
Mo Yu turned her head, looked at Biyue behind her, and nodded invisibly. Biyue was bright, and in the joy of everyone, she quietly withdrew from the Ciming Palace.
It wasn't until the sky was bright that Mo Yu returned to the Jade Immortal Palace, and Ji Fei naturally didn't see it. The midwife said that the woman who gave birth to the child was very bloody, and everyone here was a noble person, and it was unlucky to see the blood. So the Queen Mother asked them to step down and ordered all the palace maids and eunuchs to take care of them.
I slept until the afternoon, and when Moyu woke up again, it was almost time, and after a simple dinner. Except for Biyue, the rest of the people in the hall were dismissed.
"How's it going?"
Biyue leaned into Mo Yu's ear and said softly: "Niangniang, the second young master said that it was a girl who sent it out." ”
Mo Yu closed her eyes in despair, the Queen Mother and the Ji family still used this step after all, this trick was too dangerous. If nothing happens, it's okay, glory and wealth, and a lifetime of inexhaustible enjoyment, but if it happens, it will be a great sin to destroy the nine clans! When the time comes, the corpses will be piled up like mountains, and the blood will flow like a river, leaving a stench for thousands of years.
Seeing that Mo Yu didn't say a word, Biyue said worriedly: "Niangniang." ”
Mo Yu opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, only you know about this matter, if you want to live, don't let the third person know." You can't even dream at night, you know? ”
Biyue nodded seriously, the secret affairs of the palace, even if you know it, you must treat it as if you don't know, otherwise you can only be killed and killed. "Mother, I understand."
"Hmm. In the future, do things as usual, don't show clues. In addition, pay attention to Xiangrong, she knows some details, I'm afraid she said that she leaked her mouth, you look at her. Also, in front of Tian'er, be on guard. ”
Biyue's eyes widened in shock, and she said, "What Niangniang means is that Tian'er is ......"
"She is a friend or an enemy, but in our palace, the most important thing to guard against is her."
Biyue thought for a while, and slowly digested what Moyu said, if it is a friend or an enemy, then it can't be the Queen Mother or Concubine De's person, and it can't be Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu disdains to spy on others. Then there can only be one answer, that is, Tian'er is the emperor's person, and only the emperor is the one who can't know the truth. Biyue said tentatively: "Could it be that Tian'er is, the emperor's ......?"
"It's good if you know, don't make a noise. In addition, you go tomorrow to announce your will and let the second young master enter the palace. ”
"Yes, Niangniang, Biyue obeys."
On the second day after Concubine Xian gave birth, the Ji family was led by Mrs. Ji and entered the Ciming Hall with all kinds of supplements and children's applications. Seeing the little prince in the arms of the nurse, the concubines also brought their own gifts to visit the emperor's first child. Mo Yu looked at the smiling faces of the old lady and the queen mother, and secretly sarcastic in her heart, knowing that it was not her grandson, but she still had to pretend to be happier than anyone else, is it interesting?
However, the child is really cute, with a dizzy smiling face, fleshy arms, big black eyes, and mouth foaming from time to time. Mo Yu reached out and gently pinched him, it was soft, and it felt good. I heard the queen mother smile and said: "Concubine Li, you also have to work harder, the mourning family hopes that you can hold the grandson you gave to the mourning family!" ”
Mo Yu smiled, looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Children and mothers are all about fate. I'm afraid, the fate of the concubine hasn't arrived yet! ”
"Concubine Li's words are indeed reasonable, if you don't have a chance, don't care too much. The emperor's affection for you is incomparable to anyone. Concubine De said nonchalantly, "But this kind of thing is not easy to say, maybe your good days are not far away." When the time comes, the emperor will not spoil you to the sky, haha. ”
There was a frolic sound in the hall, whether it was true or not, no one knew. Mo Yu smiled silently, quarreling in front of so many people, Concubine De doesn't want to lose face, she still wants to save face! The women in the palace are most jealous of other women getting the emperor's favor, just like there is a saying, if you can't talk about grapes, you can say that grapes are sour. But with Moyu's understanding of Concubine De, she is not a woman who is easy to put her thoughts on her face, what happened this time? Such obvious hostility, even in front of the Queen Mother, did not shy away from it.
After seeing the child, the people of the Ji family offered to say goodbye. Ji Zhongting and his wife said that they still wanted to catch up with Moyu, so they followed Moyu to the Jade Immortal Palace.
After Tian'er served tea, he walked out, and only the three of them were left in the hall. Mo Yu sat them down and said with a smile, "Where did you go this time?" ”
Zhao Danxiu smiled and said: "Xianggong took me to Chang'an, wow, it's so lively there, much more lively than our Tokyo." I've also seen a lot of strange-looking people! Curly hair, blue eyes, and different clothes than we do. ”
"That should be the Hu people, during the Taizong period, there were brothers and friends with foreign countries, and many foreigners came to Chang'an to play or do business. Later, he didn't go back, married a woman from our Central Plains, and formed a family. So, the people you see look a little different from us. ”
Zhao Danxiu was puzzled, "Sister, have you been there?" How do you know so much. ”
Mo Yu smiled and said, "I have been there secretly before. ”
"Oh" Ji Zhongting said meaningfully, "It turns out that the most restless person in our family is here!" Even I have been deceived by your appearance. No, you lied to me, and you have to make amends. ”
Mo Yu patted his arm and said, "You dare to make amends, you deceived me of so much silver, and it was spent so quickly?" ”
"It's not that I spend more, it's your brother and daughter-in-law who spend more."
Zhao Danxiu snorted coldly, slapped him on the shoulder, and said angrily: "What do you mean that I spend more, you spend more." You always buy this and that, and when you buy too much, you can't take it, and you throw it away. ”
Mo Yu looked at their small appearance, Danxiu is not afraid of Ji Zhongting at all now, maybe they are familiar and intimate, maybe the two of them are originally people with the same personality, so they can talk together.
After fighting for a while, Zhao Danxiu realized that there was another person in the house, so he settled down awkwardly and apologized: "I'm sorry, sister." We're used to it. ”
Mo Yu shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm very happy to see you like this." ”
"That's good. Oh, by the way, Niangniang, just now in the Ciming Palace, I always felt that this Concubine De Niangniang was weird, as if it was not the Concubine De Niangniang I knew before. ”
Ji Zhongting pushed her daughter-in-law, and said solemnly: "You don't interfere in the affairs of the palace." Zhao Danxiu immediately covered her mouth after hearing this, and after being reminded by her father-in-law, she reacted, although it was the relationship between her sister and her younger sisters, but it was really not their turn to talk about the harem.
"Your father-in-law is right, it's better for you to interfere less in the affairs of the palace. I know it. ”
Ji Zhongting said worriedly: "Sister, the people in the palace are sinister, you should be careful, in fact, I still suggest that if you can ignore it, don't care." ”
Mo Yu knew what he was referring to, and said softly, "I'm just trying to minimize the damage as much as possible, even if I don't care about anything, I won't be able to leave it alone in the future." ”
In fact, she is right, once the East Window incident happens in the future, who can be alone! Ji Zhongting said to his daughter-in-law: "Danxiu, go for a walk outside!" My sister and I have something to say. ”
Zhao Danxiu looked at her father-in-law, and then at her sister, knowing that they didn't want her to know something, so she simply went out. Mo Yu looked at her relaxed back and said, "I'm sorry for dragging you into the water." ”
"Sister doesn't have to apologize, you're right, none of us can be alone in this matter. I just think that we have to deal with the aftermath of the sins they have done. Is the honor of the family really that important? If you don't succeed, you will succeed. Their ideas are ridiculous and terrifying. ”
"Back then, the Great Holy Empress of Heaven was able to kill her daughter with her own hands, what would they not dare."
Ji Zhongting snorted coldly and said, "But they don't have the courage and ability of the Great Saint Empress!" They're too self-conscious. ”
Mo Yu poured him a cup of tea and sighed: "Okay, don't complain, this matter has been settled, we have to take care of it to the end." Mo Yu stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What about the child?" ”
"That morning, sure enough, someone went out from the North Palace Gate with a big food box. Luckily, I sent someone there to wait. They had wanted the child to float down the river, but I followed him, and when the man was gone, they went and fished him up. I have been sent to a friend's house to foster care, and I told him that I gave birth outside, because I have just gotten married, so it is not good for the child to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Hey, sister, why do you think they are very likely to go out from the Beigong Gate? ”
So far, that's all it takes. It was a girl who was sent out of the palace, which shows that Ji Feicui gave birth to a girl, and most of the current children in the palace are stealing dragons and turning phoenixes. If Ji Feicui gave birth to a boy, then the one who sent it out must be the boy who brought it in.
"Ciming Hall is the closest to the North Palace Gate, of course the sooner this child is sent out, the better, if the journey is too long, what if the child cries halfway, so I said that they are very likely to go out from the North Palace Gate."
"Oh, I see, it's reasoning again. I think you can be friends with Liu Chenxuan, and the two of you must be very interesting together. ”
Don't, the emperor has already treated her like that in one night, and then Liu Chenxuan, her red face is really genuine. Mo Yu shook his head and said, "You don't hurt me." Hey, although Danxiu is very aggressive, but there are fine in the thick, don't let her find out the clues. In addition, secretly send someone to keep an eye on your friend, know the person and the face, don't even run away with the child when the time comes, things will be very troublesome. Mo Yu admonished.
Ji Zhongting nodded and said, "What my sister reminded me is that I will do it when I go back." It seems that in the recent days, I can't go out of the capital anymore. ”
"You've been out long enough, you can't stay in the capital all the time. The Ji family doesn't matter, and the Zhao family should also have an opinion. I see, this time, you will definitely not get any benefit from your father-in-law. ”
Ji Zhongting propped his chin with both hands, and said distressedly: "Don't mention the benefits, you almost dragged me to kneel in their ancestral hall!" ”
Mo Yu smiled, "I guess too." ”
"Hey, sister, then again, this child was brought back, but what will I do in the future? You can't let her be my illegitimate daughter all the time, right? ”
"I don't have a perfect solution to this problem, you can let me think about it!"
Perhaps, it is not a blessing to let her be someone else's child and have no worries for a lifetime. (To be continued.) )
