The cold palace suddenly became lively, Zheng Zhong took some palace maids and maids to clean the palace room, the bedding curtains on the idle bed were replaced with new ones, and the room was also cleaned clean. The things for eating and drinking were also replaced with new ones, and they were cooked in the pot every day to remove the bacteria. Hot water is constantly boiling in the furnace throughout the day in case of emergency.

Song Jun was also put on clean new clothes, and there were people waiting for her to eat and sleep, Imperial Doctor Jia asked for a safe pulse three times a day, and the midwife often came to listen to the fetal heartbeat, but felt inconvenient, so she said to Zheng Zhong: "Da Changqiu, I am used to being here alone, and suddenly there are more people, but I feel uncomfortable." You let the people who are okay go, I'm nothing. ”

"Niangniang, Doctor Jia said, your delivery period is these few days, take care of your birth again and again, don't move around, don't move your emotions. Lao Chen's meaning, Niang Niang is a golden body, although she has suffered a little, it will be good to raise it for a while. ”

Song Jun sighed, looked at the distance, the window that had been replaced with green smoke and gauze paste, and looked like this, only to see that the shade in the garden was like water, the courtyard was deep, and everything was green. People say that mothers are more expensive than children, and whether she can return to the palace again through this child, she doesn't hold out hope, she just hopes that this child can be born safely. Now things are wrong, the palace is not what it was then, and the emperor has lost trust in himself, so what can he do when he returns to the palace? I am accustomed to this kind of peaceful and quiet days, no one disturbs, and the child in my belly, often talking, I feel that my heart is full of happiness.

She stood up, suddenly felt something strange in her abdomen, and hurriedly sat down on the bedpost. Zheng Zhongzheng was talking to her, but he saw that there was something wrong with her, and said, "Niangniang, what's wrong?" ”

Song Jun took a deep breath. The pain came in waves, and he said slowly: "I guess I'm going to give birth." Suddenly there was a pain in my abdomen! ”

"Alas, how good is this, come on, hurry, help Niang Niang lie down, Imperial Doctor Jia. Come on. Doctor Jia! Zheng Zhong shouted, and the maids and attendants in the womb of the house all panicked and hurried. Gone of an inch.

"Don't mess around, it's just labor pains, it's okay, Da Changqiu. You tell the attendants to withdraw, leaving a few maids to wait by the bedside. Boiled water outside and waited, let Wen Po and Imperial Doctor Jia come in, close the doors and windows, and go to tell the emperor and the queen mother. She gritted her teeth but had a clear mind. Step by step in order!

Zheng Zhong came to his senses at this moment, closed the doors and windows as instructed, and called Wen Po and Imperial Doctor Jia to come in. He and Yi Ying's attendants went out of the hall, leaving only the maids waiting beside them.

He also sent someone to inform the emperor and the queen mother. The hectic times have finally passed.

Doctor Jia asked for a pulse and said, "Niangniang, I should be giving birth today, the minister goes out to boil medicine, Niangniang, please cooperate with Wenpo."

Song Jun nodded with a smile and said, "I saw my mother give birth several times when I was a child, and I still know these things, thank you to Doctor Jia." ”

There was not a trace of wind in the air, and it was so stuffy that it seemed to be breathless. The sweat on his forehead kept dripping down, even if the maids kept wiping it with silk scarves, it was useless, his whole body was covered with sweat, and the whole person seemed to have been drenched in a storm, and he was covered in *. Song Jun only felt the pain coming in waves, and gritted his teeth.

Liu Zhao got up early today and went to the Jiade Hall to ask for peace, and the Empress Dowager Dou just coughed, and when she saw him coming in, she said, "You all go out, I'll talk to the emperor." ”

Liu Zhao came over, greeted the Empress Dowager Dou, and sat next to him, "The queen mother's complexion has been much better these days, and the sons are thinking about taking the queen mother to Ganquan Palace to play these days!" ”

Empress Dowager Dou patted his hand and said, "I heard that it was the third watch day last night?" I'm too tired, please, I can't bear to ask you to come over every day! ”

Liu Zhao said: "Greeting my mother, even a small family is also the duty of a son." What's more, it's our heavenly home. The son came to wait for his mother, and he had some family fun! The affairs of the civil and military officials have been arranged, we will go to Ganquan Palace this autumn, live there for a while, the scenery is good, we will not see anyone for three days, we will be our own family, and the sons and daughters will also have to be close to their mothers, and try their best to be filial. ”

Empress Dowager Dou was raised by him, leaned on some big pillows, took a sip of tea and said: "When the first emperor was here, he also took me to Ganquan Palace several times. I also took you to hunt in Ganquan Palace, you were still young at that time, the small bow and arrow were so long, it was interesting to look at, this person was big, and the arrow was big. At that time, your father always held you on his lap and taught you with his own hands, and it seemed like a long time ago. ”

Liu Zhao saw that Empress Dowager Dou was sad, so he smiled and said: "Queen Mother, I still remember the matter of my father's emperor and his ministers!" ”

"Yes, why don't you remember, when I'm older, I often think about what I didn't have before, and the more I think about it, the more I think about your father and emperor, he is good to me." Liu Zhao's heart was sour, so he stopped answering, and said after a while: "Zheng Zhong has built a hundred beast gardens in Ganquan Palace, I heard that there are all kinds of animals, when the time comes, go and see." ”

"Oh, I haven't heard of this, the mourning family has only seen hunted dead things, and they haven't seen them alive in a garden, but there are tigers?" Liu Zhao saw that the Empress Dowager Dou was interested, so he said: "Yes, there are elephants, they say that they came from the south to pay tribute, and there are peacocks, I heard that they are beautiful, and-" As soon as he said this, he suddenly saw Wang Yin'er hurriedly come in to report, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, I heard that Song Guiren is about to give birth, and he is in pain, come and ask the emperor to show me, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

Before Liu Zhao could speak, Empress Dowager Dou said: "This is a big deal, the emperor should go and see it, after all, it is the blood of the royal family, or the emperor's first child, you can't ignore it." Mourning family and the emperor go together! Liu Zhao nodded, helped the Empress Dowager Dou to stand up, and ordered: "Bei Yuan, I and the Empress Dowager will go and have a look." ”

Song Jun bit her lip tightly, and she didn't even have the strength to shout. Wen Po kept shouting in her ear: "Niangniang, harder, harder, take a deep breath, harder!" ”

She was not weak, and the life of the royal family, she didn't enjoy it for a few days, and she was sent to hell. On such days, in order for the child to be born smoothly, she will not let herself be lazy every day. She cooks and does laundry, cleans the yard, does everything, and insists on walking around the yard more than a dozen times a day. But the food provided to her was so bad that she might not even smell the pigs and dogs, but she endured it, but it burned her body. Her strength was running out little by little, she felt so tired, and she really wanted to sleep well!

In the outer hall of the Cold Palace, on the golden beast lampstand, several lights dragged Liu Zhao's figure on the ground of the blue bricks. He stood with his hands in his hands, looking out at the bare courtyard. He didn't expect that the cold palace was so hard, this was still a specially repaired house for the sake of production, and it was still dilapidated, so before, how did she live alone. Thinking of her busy figure dragging her heavy body, I felt very sad. Song Jun, am I not good to you? How can you do such a stupid thing, otherwise I still spoil you and love you the same, how could you let yourself and the emperor suffer like this!

Imperial Physician Jia walked over and said respectfully and with a hint of hesitation: "Report to the emperor, the minister has done his best, Song Guiren has no strength due to his weak body, I am afraid that this child will not be born, the minister thinks, do you want to, only protect the child-"

Liu Zhao turned around abruptly and stared straight at him. Imperial Physician Jia was startled and hurriedly lowered his head. He hated Song Guiren and almost imprisoned him in an incident that almost cost him his life, but as a medical officer, he didn't want her to die in childbirth. The emperor's temperament has always been introverted, and he can rarely guess his thoughts, at this time, he was stared at like this, he couldn't help but be drenched in cold sweat, and said in fear: "Your Majesty, the minister means-"

"It's not interesting, you listen, let people go to the Tai Hospital to find someone, the mourning family wants to see that Song Guiren and the children are alive and well, if one of them has an accident, the mourning family will let you all be buried with you." Before Liu Zhao could speak, Empress Dowager Dou had already stood up and said.

"Whoa!" Imperial Physician Jia's face turned pale with fright, and he asked someone to find other imperial doctors, Liu Zhao said: "Queen Mother, do you want to go to the Taimiao Temple to pray for blessings, or do you want to burn incense and worship the heavens?" ”

"Your Majesty, the mourning family never believes in heaven, only in people, if Song Guiren's life should not be extinguished, God will not accept her. Your Majesty, don't worry, the mourning family has confidence in this child, she can survive this pregnancy in this cold palace alone, there is a strong one that others don't have, wait, wait, the mourning family can trust her! Empress Dowager Dou looked at the inner hall, although it was separated by heavy curtains, it seemed to penetrate, and her eyes were blazing.

Liu Zhao was inspired by the Empress Dowager Dou, and his spirits were also lifted. After a while, the medical officers of the Tai Hospital arrived, and they were about to give a salute, Liu Zhao waved his hand and said, "No need, go in and have a look!" The crowd rushed in.

Song Jun's eyes were closed, his face was covered with sweatdrops, and his face was as white as paper, without a trace of blood. Wen Po took her hand and said: "Niangniang, the emperor and the queen mother are waiting outside, as long as you give birth, this child is the emperor's first child, you have made a great contribution to the royal family, work hard, grit your teeth and give birth, otherwise the child will be in danger if he holds it for too long." Fast, hard! ”

Song Jun's pain was numb, she barely opened her eyes, and saw a room full of people looking at her, everyone was anxious, she smiled bitterly, gritted her teeth, tried her best, and heard Wen Po shouting: "Niangniang, hurry, hurry, I saw the child's view, come and use your strength again!" ”

But she had no strength, she only felt someone feeding something to her mouth, she opened her eyes, and saw Xiao Huixin looking down at her, her eyes full of tears. "Nobleman, this is ginseng soup, replenishing vitality, the emperor specially asked the slave maid to wait for Niangniang, Niangniang, come, drink it, use your strength again, just once."

Song Jun smiled weakly, Xiao Huixin, she wanted to call her name, but she didn't make a sound, she drank the ginseng soup in one go, and used it hard again, "Ah-" After a sharp shout, the last wave of pain hit like a tsunami, she bit the quilt fiercely, and for a moment, she heard the baby's cry, "Wow-wow-". Her eyes went dark. and plunged into boundless darkness.

Wen Po picked up the child, cleaned the child with a silk scarf, and said with a smile: "Tell the emperor and the queen mother, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, you are a prince!" Everyone cheered and came to the outside room, but saw that Liu Zhao had sat on the couch like a prostration, and the Empress Dowager Dou said with a smile: "The mourning family heard it, it is a prince, the emperor, this is a big event, and the whole country should celebrate it!"
