Chapter 23: Pregnant
The Daling Dynasty attaches equal importance to Buddhism and Taoism, and many people believe in Taoism, and even set up a special Qintianguan in the palace to assist the emperor in dealing with related Taoist matters. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 According to the calculations of the Qintianguan, the day of October 23 is extremely high and suitable for sacrifice.
Because this year is only the third year of Emperor Xiang, not the whole year of five or ten, the queen does not need to accompany him. And from the thirteenth, for ten days, the emperor began to fast and bathe, and no longer went to the harem until the sacrifice was completed on the twenty-third. On the night of the sacrifice, the emperor also invited the princes and ministers to eat gizzard meat in the front hall of the Tianyou Palace, and at the same time, the queen led the harem concubines and the ladies to raise wine and pray in the apse to pray for the blessing of the dynasty.
It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful, it has been raining intermittently since the 18th, and so on the 23rd, Duanmuchen packed up early in the morning, and went to the square altar and round altar on the outskirts of the city to worship the heaven and earth, the sky was even darker and scary, and when he arrived at the sacrificial site, it was pouring rain, and because of the solemnity of the sacrifice, Mu Lin could not go forward to hold an umbrella for Duanmu Chen, and jumped his feet in a hurry.
Duanmu Chen felt that it didn't matter. He was dressed in a golden dragon robe and wore a crown of sixteen strings of glass beads, and walked slowly to the round altar in the heavy rain, according to the ritual to worship the sky, and then walked to the square altar to sacrifice to the ground, and then there will be special personnel to perform the sacrifice again.
Who knew that after the completion of his three bows and nine bows to the ground ceremony, the rain stopped, and the sky gradually cleared, and when the whole sacrifice was completed, it was already a blue sky, and even the sun came out of the clouds.
The ministers and onlookers who witnessed all this were shocked, and someone shouted: "Long live my emperor!" The gods appear! Everyone knelt down in unison and cheered: "Long live my emperor!" The gods appear! ”
And the old Taoist of Qintianguan trembled with excitement, and kowtowed to Duanmu Chen and said, "This is a good omen!" Great auspicious sign! The emperor must be the emperor of the ages, the son of destiny! ”
Everyone loves to listen to good words, although Duanmu Chen is complimented every day, but at this time, in the face of the sudden auspicious signs, in the face of the chanting of tens of millions of people, and in the face of the praise of the Taoist, he still feels very happy.
After maintaining a good mood and returning to the palace, before I had time to rush to Tianyou Palace, I heard better news.
Zhen Jieyu is pregnant!
It turned out that when she was asking for peace in the morning, the queen stayed with Concubine De and others about the sacrificial banquet in the evening for a while, and then the concubines had breakfast in the queen's palace, but when Jiang Yan picked up a cup of fresh milk, she just took a sip and vomited it all, and the queen was also startled, thinking that someone had drugged and called the imperial doctor to come for a consultation, only to know that it was because she was pregnant for nearly two months.
Duanmu Chen, who was reported to know the news, couldn't help laughing, and said directly in front of a group of princes and important ministers: "As soon as there was an auspicious omen during the sacrifice, this child came, which shows that this child is extraordinary!" ”
Seeing that the emperor was happy, these people were also willing to say a few more good words, and praised "this son will be blessed with deep blessings" and "blessed by God" and so on.
The more Duanmu Chen listened, the happier he became, after returning to the palace, he was too busy with government affairs, and later prepared for the sacrifice, he hadn't seen Jiang Yan for a long time, who knew that she was pregnant! This was a big surprise, and coupled with today's sacrifice, Duanmu Chen looked forward to this child even more.
Waving his hand to let the others wait in Tianyou Palace first, he took Mu Lin and the two little eunuchs and walked directly to Yonghua Zhai.
Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something, and Duanmu Chen instructed Mu Lindao: "Go back and show me all the drawings of the vacant palace now." ”
Mu Lin responded, and instantly understood that this Zhenjieyu was going to be a great blessing.
At this time, Jiang Yan was not in a good mood at all, who would tell her why it was so uncomfortable to be pregnant!
A few days ago, I just felt stuffy in my chest, I didn't want to eat anything, and I didn't have an appetite when I had breakfast at the queen's this morning.
And from morning to now, it has been five or six hours, Jiang Yan can't eat anything, vomit whatever she eats, and can only drink saliva into her stomach.
"0039 ah ......" Jiang Yan lay wilted on the soft couch: "How can this be......"
0039 also scratched his head: [Everyone's physique is different, you this, this, I don't know ......]
With a notification, Duanmuchen strode in with a happy face, and saw that Jiang Yan was about to get up and salute, so he hurriedly held her down: "I heard that you are pregnant as soon as I came back, Yan'er, I am really happy." ”
looked at her carefully again, frowned, and said, "Why is your face so bad?" So uninspired? Woods! Go and ask Imperial Doctor Liu to take a look! ”
"No need for the emperor." Jiang Yan pressed Duanmu Chen's hand and said with a smile: "In the morning, Imperial Doctor Wang has already come to see it, and the concubine is a bad joy." ”
"Bad joy?" Duanmu Chenyou looked at her carefully, and turned his head to look at Pei Lan, who was standing on the side: "You come on." ”
"Back to the emperor, in the morning, the imperial physician came to see the master, saying that the pulse is very good, calm and powerful, the slippery pulse is already obvious, and the master's health is also good, but people are different, and the symptoms of joy are also different," Pei Lan paused, or knelt down and said: "But the master has been losing his appetite when he came in, and from today from morning to now, he can't eat anything, and he has to spit it out when he eats it, and the slave is really worried, and he begs the emperor to call the imperial doctor to take a look." For Pei Lan, if Jiang Yan can win in one fell swoop, her goal will be closer, so she really attaches great importance to Jiang Yan's belly.
"Perran!" Jiang Yan frowned and reprimanded: "Imperial Doctor Wang, as the holy hand of the gynecology daughter, said that I am very healthy, you are ......."
Duanmu Chen interrupted her and said, "Pei Lan is also for your good, and I also think what she said is very reasonable, so let Imperial Doctor Liu take a look." Just to reassure me, okay? ”
"Good is naturally good," Jiang Yan pouted, "But the concubine is not happy." ”
Duanmu Chen smiled: "Playing with a child's temper again, I'm about to be a mother, but I can't be willful anymore." ”
When Duanmu Chen first said that he wanted to invite Imperial Doctor Liu, Mu Lin had already let his apprentice Xiao Qiangzi go, and while he was speaking, Imperial Doctor Liu was dragged by Little Qiangzi and ran away.
After tidying up the messy clothes, Imperial Doctor Liu was stopped by Duanmu Chen as soon as he wanted to bow down: "There is no need to be polite at this time, come and show Zhen Jieyu." ”
After careful consultation, Imperial Doctor Liu replied respectfully: "Niangniang has been pregnant for nearly two months, her body is very healthy, and her pulse is also excellent, I don't know what is wrong?" ”
Pei Lan hurriedly bowed down and told Jiang Yan about the situation, and said, "The slaves and maids are afraid that the master and the little master in the womb will be hungry, so I asked Imperial Doctor Liu to think of a way." ”
Duanmu Chen also stared at Imperial Doctor Liu with burning eyes.
"This, it is common for women to be pregnant and happy, to a certain extent, the more powerful the joy, the healthier the baby," Imperial Doctor Liu scratched his beard: "There is an ancestral recipe pickled green plum there, which is harmless to pregnant women, and can alleviate the symptoms of joy, if the emperor can trust the minister, try it." ”
Duanmuchen nodded, signaling that Xiao Qiangzi would go with Imperial Doctor Liu to get green plums later, and Imperial Doctor Liu continued: "If Niangniang wants to eat something sour or spicy, it's okay, since I'm vomiting a lot now, I don't have to care too much about what I should eat and what I shouldn't eat, it's best if I can eat it." ”
Jiang Yan nodded in response, Duanmu Chen patted her hand and said, "I still have to go to Tianyou Palace, and I'll come to see you later." Let Xiao Qiangzi take the green plums, you can try a few, if there is anything you want to eat, you will order it to go down and let someone make it for you. ”
"Your Majesty, don't worry." Jiang Yan took his hand and shook it: "The emperor should hurry up and go to Tianyou Palace, it's almost dark at this time." ”
Duanmuchen instructed a few words, instructed Imperial Doctor Liu to come to Jiang Yan every day to ask for a safe pulse, and asked Mu Lin to find a few reliable pregnant mothers as soon as possible, and then left Yonghuazhai step by step.
The green plums taken out by Imperial Doctor Liu were huge, pickled and juicy, Jiang Yan only felt that she was going to drool when she saw it, and tasted two, the sweet and sour ones were very delicious, and the feeling of nausea was also suppressed a little, and the happy Peilan hurriedly brought out the bird's nest porridge that had been prepared earlier, and Jiang Yan ate a small half bowl in one go.
Pei Lan recited Amitabha Buddha and put away the jar of green plums, Jiang Yan only felt funny when she saw her like this: "You don't have to be so nervous, you can't eat or starve your children for a few days." ”
"Master, don't talk nonsense! The master will be able to eat and sleep well, and give birth to a fat prince safely. Pei Lan smiled, and went back to prepare some small snacks that were easy to reduce, so that Jiang Yan could eat them whenever she wanted to.
Jiang Yan smiled helplessly, so she had to go with her.
When Duanmu Chen came to Yonghuazhai again, Jiang Yan was already in a daze and was about to fall asleep. After being woken up by a burst of greetings, she rubbed her eyes and said, "It's so late, the emperor is resting in the Qiankun Palace, why bother to come all the way." ”
Duanmu Chen asked people to take off his coat, fell on the collapse, hugged her and kissed her, and said: "The banquet ended late, I was afraid that I wouldn't want to come over again for fear of disturbing you, but there is something I still want to ask you about." ”
Stretched out his hand and asked Mu Lin to take a booklet over, flipped it over to Jiang Yan and said: "These are a few palaces that are still vacant, I chose them, these three patterns are the best, and they are close to the Qiankun Palace." Look at which one of the pictures is in the picture, and I'll have someone fix it right away, and you'll be able to move in before the year. ”
Jiang Yan sat up half-embraced by him, took the booklet and looked at it, only to see that the three names were circled by vermilion pens, namely "Muyuan Palace", "Xiuyun Palace" and "Fengyang Palace", according to the direction, they are all in the southwest of the Qiankun Palace, and they are also very close to the queen's palace, so he smiled and said: "Thank you for the emperor's trouble, I look very good." ”
"In this case, choose this Fengyang Palace, I remember that there is a small garden in the backyard of this palace, you can also go for a walk. Moreover, there are many halls in this palace, and it is convenient for children to live in the future. Duanmu Chen obviously had a choice, and he was very excited to reach out and turn a few pages, and find out the entire palace layout of Fengyang Palace to Jiang Yan: "Look here, there is also a big osmanthus tree, although the front yard is not big, but it is enough for you to live by yourself." There is also a separate cottage on the west side, which is just right for you to make a kitchenette. ”
"Your Majesty......" Jiang Yan looked at Duanmu Chen blankly, what did he mean by this......
Duanmuchen kissed her forehead again, put her down and lay down, and stood up: "Then tomorrow I will issue an order to prepare for your relocation to the palace." It's not too early now, you go to bed first, you don't have to wait for me. After saying that, he called Shangmu Lin to go to the clean room.
