Chapter 094: Peace
Tong Xue was taken aback, but this was the side hall of Kunning Palace, not a place where she could be rude at will.
Therefore, she just stood on the ground with her eyes down, anyway, there was a big matter, and her grandmother was in front, and it was not her turn to come forward.
If she behaves bably, she will lose her identity as the eldest daughter of the Yuanhou Mansion.
The Queen Mother was very satisfied with Tong Xue's performance, and the smile on her face became more and more genuine, making her look not at all like a person in power, but more like an amiable old lady.
The Queen Mother was originally instructed by Jinshang to say such a sentence against her will.
After all, her eldest grandson, Zhu Yousheng, the prince who has been born successively, is only fifteen years old, and it is too early to talk about marriage.
Since his death, he has not been established today, and he has not accepted a newcomer into the palace for many years, and the palace is empty, and the heirs are not rich.
Nowadays, there are only five children under the knees: the crown prince, the eldest princess, the second prince, and the third prince and the second princess born from the imperial concubine.
Among them, the crown prince is the eldest, the second prince is thirteen years old, he has been weak since he was a child, and he is also thin, half a head shorter than the third prince who is one year younger.
Therefore, the Queen Mother seemed to say a sentence casually, which was a bit sincere, a little joking, or a tentative meaning, depending on how the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion would figure it out.
After all, the title of a princess or a crown princess, the heavenly family is not unaffordable, as for whether Dingyuan Marquis has the courage to accept it, and how to accept it, it is a matter that needs to be considered.
In this way, even if the Lu family died in childbirth in the end, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was blown up by the eldest princess of Yuanjiang. So what, the daughter of the Tong family married into the heavenly family and became a high-ranking princess, just a marriage contract, a grand wedding, will suppress all doubts.
What kind of monarch and minister are centrifuged and secretly killed? People are obviously very good! They are all married to their sons and daughters!
One sentence blocked all the accusations.
And if the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion chooses to refuse, it is also an ignorance as a courtier, what is wrong with the Heavenly Family?
The Queen Mother's move is not high.
After Tong Xue sorted out the key points. Suddenly, I regretted it. Today, I took the liberty of entering the palace with Mrs. Dingyuan.
It's strange that she doesn't know if it's a past life or this life, she has heard that the palace is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones.
The Queen Mother smiled. The granddaughter of the courtier's wife is the most stubborn, and she is even more of a monkey at home. And only in front of you. to behave decently. Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis diverted from the topic in three or two sentences. The daughter-in-law is in labor, and the courtier's wife will retire until the mother and child are safe. Then enter the palace to say goodbye to the mother. ”
"Well, let's go! The mourning family really likes this little girl, and if they are free, they will invite her to come to the palace to live with the mourning family for a while. ”
"It is her blessing to be proud of the queen mother's blue eyes." Mrs. Dingyuan Hou said with a smile, and when she turned to Tong Xue, her tone was much more stern, "Don't thank you yet!" ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Tong Xue obediently bowed to the Queen Mother.
After the grandfather and grandson got into the carriage, Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis had a tense face and didn't speak for a long time, I don't know if it was because she was worried about her mother or the Queen Mother's joke.
The atmosphere in the carriage became extremely oppressive for a moment.
Tong Xue couldn't help but raise the curtain and urged the coachman to hurry up with the carriage.
When the two rushed back to the courtyard, the imperial concubine had already arrived.
Wearing an ordinary dress, with a grandmother and two palace maids, she is no different from the wives of ordinary people.
The two hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Mrs., don't be so polite!" The imperial concubine was busy with the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan, holding a handkerchief in her hand, staring nervously in the direction of the delivery room.
Tong Xue moved lightly to General Weiyuan's wife, and asked in a very low voice, "Grandmother, how is my mother?" ”
General Weiyuan's wife moved her lips, took a light breath, and said slowly and in a low voice: "The blood collapsed, and I was thinking about stopping the bleeding." ”
After a while, I saw a girl come out with a basin of blood.
Tong Xue only felt that it was dark in front of her, and she was busy holding the arm of Cai Lan on the side.
"Girl!" Cai Lan let out a low sigh and looked at her worriedly.
Tong Xue shook her head.
She held Cai Lan's arm with her left hand, and her right hand was hidden between the wide sleeves, and she tightly held the string of earthy yellow wooden beads on her wrist with a strange texture and ordinary texture, and the images she had seen in her dreams crossed her mind like lightning, leaving a rumbling echo like rolling thunder.
Tong Xue only felt dizzy for a while, and suddenly let go of the bead string, and then felt better.
She gritted her teeth and stared at the door of the delivery room.
After a while, another girl went in with a basin of clean hot water, and after half an hour, it was replaced by a basin of red blood water.
Lu's fine moans gradually sounded in the delivery room, like a weak kitten, suffering greatly.
"Hard! Inhale! Hard! Out! The midwife commanded methodically.
"It hurts!" The mother clutched her father's arm and cried out in pain.
The father clenched his hand into a fist and shoved it into his mother's mouth
Although Tong Xue did not enter the delivery room, she "looked" what it looked like inside according to the movement.
It was almost exactly what she saw in her dreams.
With the passage of time, her heart seemed to be wrapped in a thousand silk threads, and the hands that were originally holding Cai Lan instead twisted their fingers with each other, and the fourth basin of blood was brought out, Tong Xue couldn't help but put her hands together to her chest, closed her eyes, and prayed sincerely.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, all kinds of immortals, Tong Ajin, pray to you, please leave my mother alive. Ah Jin is willing to do a good deed every day, reduce his life expectancy by 20 years, or even 30 or 40 years, and only ask for the safety of his mother. ”
Although she knew that the gods couldn't hear the suffering of the world, Tong Xue couldn't help but close her eyes and prayed in her heart over and over again.
"Wow!" Two hours later, as the setting sun filled the land, the baby's cry could finally be heard in the delivery room.
Another long hour passed, and the door to the delivery room was finally opened from the inside.
"Congratulations to Mrs. Tai, Mrs. General Hexi, mother and daughter are safe." Wen Po wiped the sweat from her face, squeezed a smile on her face, and said with a little anxiety in her heart.
"Congratulations to Mrs. Tai, Mrs. General Hexi!" The imperial concubine also said sincerely on the side.
Tong Xue had already run to the delivery room.
With a strong smell of blood on her face, she walked lightly to the delivery bed, where her father raised his hand to push the sweat-soaked hair on her forehead to the sides for her mother.
"Ah Jin, are you here?" Tong Jingxuan heard the movement, turned his head and looked at Tong Xuedao with a gentle expression.
Tong Xue nodded, her face was cold, and she raised her hand to wipe her eyes.
"Come and take a look at my sister, ruddy and ruddy, just like when you were born, but a little small." (To be continued......)
