Fujin's due date is getting closer and closer, and the prince is becoming more and more uneasy. Fujin gave birth to his first child at the age of thirty-eight, is it really worrying? Yun'er was only eighteen years old and the pain was like that, would Fujin hurt even more? The prince felt that he was a sinner, and he couldn't replace it at all for letting a woman suffer so much! Women are very delicate and have to endure the hardships of childbirth. At that time, there was no solution, and it was not a matter for husband and wife not to live together, and I didn't expect Fujin to get pregnant at all, so I was really happy and worried. Wen Po, who often comes to the house to check the fetal position regularly, repeatedly told the prince that Fujin's fetal position is very positive, and the child is not as big as Fujin's side, and Fujin's body shape is good, so there should be no problem with childbirth. The mother Wen who delivered for Fujin this time is the one who delivered for Yun'er, they all have many years of experience in delivering births, and the prince is a little relieved.

But Fu Jin herself is not too nervous, she is going to be a mother herself, what a thing she yearns for, she has been looking forward to it for 20 years, and finally looking forward to it! She is a woman who is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, she looks very squeamish, but she is actually very resilient and able to endure hardships. She thought, "No matter how much it hurts, it will hurt like Yun'er, right?" When the time comes, you can have a child as cute as Xuan'er to hold in your hand. Her own child is naturally loved with confidence, and she doesn't need to listen to others' nonsense, so she is very stable in her heart, and she is not as serious as Yun'er's reaction during pregnancy.

Counting the days, Fujin's due date should be more than ten days in the winter month, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Of course, the conditions of the royal palace were much better than those of the commoners. The ground in the house is the geothermal heating that later generations said, and the Qing Dynasty is called the earth dragon, so the house is very warm and there is no smoke. This kind of heating method can only be found in the Forbidden City, the palaces of the kings and the emperor's ministers.

Everything that should be prepared is ready, just wait for Fujin to give birth once he arrives.

On March 18 in the spring, Fujin's cousin Tong Jinya, that is, Emperor Shunzhi's Concubine Tong, was only fifteen years old and gave birth to three princes. I have been married for almost 20 years, and I haven't seen a child. Now, I am thirty-eight years old and have my first child. It's a little late, but it's better than nothing. Again and again, Fu Jin turned to the gods and bodhisattvas for help, asking them to bless him to give birth safely. People say that a woman who has never given birth to a child is not a real woman, and she became a real woman when she was almost forty years old.

A few days before giving birth, Fu Jin had a real dream: he dreamed that a large, white lotus flower fell into his arms, and there seemed to be a girl giggling in the lotus, which sounded very good. Then a snow-white snowflake fluttered and swirled in front of her eyes. As soon as the morning dawned, Fu Jin told the prince. The prince was very happy: "This is a good sign, you will definitely be able to give birth to a girl doll as beautiful as you!" ”

Finally, it was time for the melons to ripen and fall, and Fujin had a "red" phenomenon since the morning, and the three stable mothers and grandmothers who had been waiting for a long time immediately entered the "first-level combat readiness state". Fujin's bedroom is the delivery room, everything is ready to stop, the stable women are in place, this day is the sixteenth day of the winter moon.

The sky began to fall with goose feathers, and a cold wind blew, and the cold wind turned into a violent wind, with a whistling cry, mixed with snowflakes flying all over the sky, wrapped in a biting cold, swirling between heaven and earth.

The house was as warm as spring. Women who have not given birth to children are not allowed to serve here, and only the three Wen Po and Mama Zheng and Mama Liu, who serve closely in Fujin on weekdays, are in the delivery room. Mama Zheng prepared two rings to be tied to the head of the bed, allowing Fu Jin to pull when he was in pain; A clean handkerchief was also prepared for her to bite with her mouth when she was in labor, so as not to suffer from the sequelae of toothache in the future. Yun'er was also prepared at that time, but it was useless for her to shout.

The women gently comforted and instructed: "Fujin, you don't have to be afraid or nervous, it's best to relax your whole body." You have practiced kung fu, you are in good health, you are in good shape, you are conducive to production, listen to the slaves and maids when to exert yourself hard, you will soon be able to give birth. Fu Jin nodded.

The labor pain began, and Fu Jin bit the veil to prevent himself from humming. Because she clearly remembered what Yun'er yelled and screamed when she gave birth and scared the prince into something, it hurt anyway, why should both of them be in pain? When the pain passed, she wiped her sweat and smiled: "But that's it." ”

The prince was waiting in the Dongnuan Pavilion, there was no movement in the delivery room, but he was scared: Why is there no sound? I said in my heart: "Xiu'er, it's okay for you to shout when you're in pain!" What does it mean that there is no movement at all? ”

Yun'er was allowed to come out, her mood has been very stable recently, she hasn't been sick for a long time, and she is exactly the same as a healthy person. Her errand is to go to the door of the delivery room at any time to listen to the news, and then come back to tell the prince, can the dignified prince wait at the door of the delivery room? Yun'er wanted to go in and have a look, but the door was plugged in, so she could only stick to the crack of the door and listen, and Fu Jin lowered her voice. Hurry back and tell the prince: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt much." ”

The prince's head was sweating, his heart was like a worm biting, and his throat was dry, so he kept drinking tea. If you drink too much tea, you have to go to relieve yourself. While he was relieved and the doctors were talking together, Yun'er went to the door of the delivery room to listen to the news, and seeing that no one cared, she hurriedly stuffed a small piece of yellow paper into the crack of the door.

As soon as the prince came back and sat down, he saw a stable woman rushing out of the door in a panic, shouting with a crying voice: "Lord! Fu Jin is not good! ”

The prince's eyes immediately turned black, his legs were weak, and he finally entered the delivery room with Yun'er's support. I saw that Fu Jin's legs were flat, his eyes were closed, and his breath was weak. There was not a trace of blood on his face, his cheeks were blue, his lips were black and purple, and he was completely lifeless.

The prince rushed over desperately and shouted, "Xiu'er! You can't leave the second brother, you can't! Oh my God, how could this be! The prince couldn't stand still, knelt on the edge of Fujin's bed, held her cold hand tightly, and almost howled: "Xiu'er! Embroidery! You're back! How can you live without your second brother! ”

The prince's eyes looked at the three stable women like a sword, as if he wanted to poke a few holes in them: "Didn't you say that everything is okay in Fujin?" The fetal position is very positive, everything is good, what is going on now!

The mothers were frightened, and knelt down involuntarily: "Lord Wang......" They don't know how to explain to the prince, they are still fine, why did they suddenly change.

Yun'er was so panicked that she didn't know what to do, she regretted it so much that she wanted to hit the wall! She only heard Qing'er say that with this talisman paper, Fujin would not give birth to a boy, and no one would compete with Xuan'er for the position of the son, so she believed it, she didn't want Fujin's life!

With tears on her face, Yun'er went to find the yellow paper that was so small that no one paid attention to it, it was a charm! She's going to tear it up, destroy it, burn it, and bring Fujin back to life! However, the paper was gone. The imperial doctors all came in, checked Fu Jin's pulse, and shook their heads and sighed one by one.

The prince was almost dizzy, he couldn't bear such a blow, beat his chest and feet, and screamed wildly. Staggering, rushing out the door, screaming pathetically into the vast night sky: "Oh my God! Give me back my embroidery! I'm a sinner! Let me go for her! ”

"Disciple Huikong, don't be sad, you're here for the teacher!" Like a heavenly immortal sound, Master Ganlin's voice sounded peacefully in his ears. The prince was stunned, stopped crying out, and turned to a tearful surprise: "Master! He stepped down to his knees: "Master! Save the disciple's embroidery! The disciple has kowtowed to you! With that, he kowtowed in the snow.

Master Gan Lin was cold with snowflakes on his shoulders, and bent down to help the prince who was already unable to support himself: "Huikong, hurry up and see Madame!" ”

"Oh!" The prince woke up suddenly, and led the way into the delivery room in front. Wen Po saw a young monk enter the delivery room and shouted. The prince ordered: "You go out first!" Wen Po went out with great doubts, and Yun'er also went out.

The master did not ask the imperial doctor to go out, but said to the prince, "You guys lean against the wall and be wronged first." As he spoke, he picked up the futon that Fujin usually used for meditation, and sat down opposite the place three steps away from Fujin. He said, "Don't speak, everybody." Then facing Fu Jin, crossed his legs, closed his eyes, made a few very soft movements, and then faced each other with his left hand and right palm, hanging on his stomach, and chanting words in his mouth.

Everyone saw it, and wisps of gossamer-like black qi slowly emerged from Fu Jin's nostrils, ears, and eyes, gathering towards Master Ganlin's two palms, forming a black air mass, churning. Suddenly, this black gas turned into a black ribbon, flew out of Master Gan Lin's palm, passed through the window paper, and rushed out.

The prince saw that Fu Jin's face slowly returned to the same jade-like face as before, but he didn't wake up. Master Gan Lin took out his crystal box from his bosom, opened it, dropped two drops on each corner of Fujin's mouth, and then said to a physician: "This gentleman, please plug the hole in the window, the mother is afraid of the wind." Go back and let the mothers come in and continue to give birth, and the child will be born soon. ”

At this time, Fu Jin opened his big beautiful eyes, looked at the frightened prince in confusion, and looked at Master Gan Lin who was smiling at him. recognized it at once: Isn't this the Master Gan Lin who saved the prince in the Chinese army's tent back then? He must have saved himself again. I was busy getting up and kowtowing to Master.

Master Gan Lin smiled and said, "Disciple of Jingquan, you don't need to be polite, the little life in your womb is still waiting to come to the world for a visit." ”

The stables came in and shouted in surprise when they saw Fu Jin resurrected: "Oh my God, this master is an immortal!" ”

Master Gan Lin didn't pay attention to what the stable women said, and said with a smile: "Go on, Huikong, let's go to the East House to talk." ”

When he arrived at the Dongnuan Pavilion, the prince arranged the master in the right position, knelt down and kowtowed, I don't know how much he kowtowed, anyway, he kowtowed vigorously. He kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Master!" Thank you, Master! Master Gan Lin couldn't pull it, and several imperial doctors finally stopped with the help of it.

Master Gan Lin said, "Huikong, Master is not saved by everyone, but by saving people who are destined. Those who have done a lot of evil will be able to save Master Yangshou when he arrives? So don't do this, Master knows your mind. Today's snow is a good omen, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, your daughter's name is Xue'er, this is also a person with Buddha fate. Master also wants to rescue a disciple who has a difficult birth, don't pass by, maybe you will pass by here the day after tomorrow, come to visit again, and ask you to lift your right foot. ”

The prince inexplicably raised his right foot, and it turned out that the yellow paper was stepped on by the prince. Master Gan Lin pinched down the piece of paper and said to Yun'er, "Madam, please burn it." ”

Yun'er hurriedly took it, agreed in a panic, and turned around to leave. Master Gan Lin caught up and whispered, "You must burn it, otherwise you will never recover!" ”

Yun'er's face turned pale and nodded again and again. When she returned to the room, she threw the rune paper in her hand into the brazier, along with the dozen of the same rune paper that Qing'er gave her. The spell burned in the brazier, emitting a strong stench and a strange squeak. Yun'er was so frightened that she hid in the corner of the bed, covering her nose and trembling.

These runes were given to Yun'er by Qing'er before the prince brought her back from her mother's house this time. Tell Yun'er to burn one if there is anything that can't be done, and he will be able to turn evil into good fortune. But this time Yun'er didn't do what Qing'er said, because that small rune paper almost killed Fujin, and Yun'er's trust in Qing'er was greatly reduced!

The prince was waiting for the news of Fujin's production, and did not pay attention to what the master said to Yun'er. After sending off the master, the prince sat down and waited with peace of mind. Fu Jin came back to life, and the prince knew that she no longer had to worry about her life, so she was very relieved, but her stomach hurt. I only heard Fu Jin scream loudly three times inside, and there was a baby's coquettish cry. The prince let out a long breath and put his heart back in his stomach.

"Born, born! It's a personality! The mothers and grandmothers shouted the good news with joy.

Yun'er came again like a thief, and she was very happy when she heard that it was a person, but now she is really happy, not because Fujin gave birth to a daughter, and there is no threat to Xuan'er's position as the son, but because Fujin is safe and sound, and there is no danger to his life. The child was also born smoothly, regardless of the boy or girl, and the safe arrival of the world was what all the people of that era were looking forward to. It seems that she is not controlled by Qing'er all the time, she also has a time when she is conscious, and she is a normal person at this time, otherwise how can the prince say that she is a cat and a dog for a while?

This incident made Yun'er think a lot, and her biggest confusion was, is Qing'er really good for herself? It seems that people who are good for others should not be too arrogant, you want others to listen to you, and you can't refute everything you impose on others, in case what you do is wrong. Isn't it wrong to listen to you? Is that also for the good of others?

"Lord Wang, Fang Fujin, and the two Imperial Doctors, you can come in!" Mother Wen said happily.
