Chapter 584: Preparation

The prince chatted with Shen Qiuyu for a few words, and said with a casual smile: "By the way, you don't know yet, right?" My cousin's wife, Ye, is also pregnant. I heard that I found out that I was pregnant on the same day as you. My cousin's tone is really tight, and he never mentioned it in front of me. I only learned from other people."

Shen Qiuyu smiled slightly, and her heart was sour and jealous.

Ye Qinglan is pregnant! She was pregnant with Gu Xinian's blood! How could Gu Xinian let this woman conceive his child......

The crown prince didn't notice Shen Qiuyu's strange appearance in an instant, and said with a smile to himself: "Look at it like this, you and the Ye family should be born together." If you give birth to a son by then, and the Ye family gives birth to a daughter, you will simply set a doll ......"

"No way!" Shen Qiuyu subconsciously opened his mouth, and only after seeing the prince's surprised eyes did he realize that he had lost his words, and hurriedly smiled and remedied: "It's not easy to say about this birth of a boy and a girl." Maybe I gave birth to a daughter, and the Ye family gave birth to a son! It is also possible that all the births are boys or girls. It's too early to say that it's too early to set the baby pro, and it's not too late to wait for the children to be born. ”

The fact is that she is not willing to let her "son" marry Ye Qinglan's daughter at all! After the crown prince ascends the throne, her son will be the crown prince of the Western Song Dynasty, and he will also be the most noble person in the world. How can Ye Qinglan's daughter be worthy of being the future crown princess?

…… Concubine Shen, you really think too much!

The prince said it casually, and when he saw that Shen Qiuyu was reluctant, he felt happy in his heart. Shen Qiuyu and Gu Xinian had a relationship before after all. He wished that the two would turn against each other, if they became in-laws of his children, they would inevitably have the opportunity to contact in the future. In case it recalls the recollection of old feelings in my heart or something. But it makes people feel unhappy.

…… His Royal Highness the Prince, in fact, you are thinking too much!

After the prince is gone. The smiling face that Shen Qiuyu had been holding on suddenly disappeared.

She sat there stiff with a cold face, not moving for a long time. Ye Qinglan's bright smiling face kept flashing in his mind. There is also Gu Xinian's gentle and shallow smile. The thick jealousy swelled in her heart, almost making her unable to control herself

The maids are all clever people with raised eyebrows, and almost no one dares to come forward when they see this posture. Don't look at Concubine Shen, who is so elegant and calm in front of people on weekdays, and has a gentle temper, but she is not easy to serve in private. The methods of rectifying the subordinates are ruthless and spicy, and it makes people shudder when they think about it. So as long as Concubine Shen is in a bad mood, the maids are eager to hide away......

After a long time, Shen Qiuyu calmed down again. At this time, if he attacked the child in Ye Qinglan's belly, he was afraid that he would anger Gu Xinian. It would be bad if it upset the prince again. The most important thing now is to "give birth" to the child safely.

Thinking of this, Shen Qiuyu lightly ordered: "Go and ask Mother Qiu to come over." ”

When Shen Qiuyu lived in Dingguo Mansion, there was only a ten-year-old maid Yun'er by her side, and this Qiu's mother. Over the years, the number of people serving around her has increased unabated, and there are more than a dozen maids in this courtyard alone, and there are no less than five or six stewards. Ke Yun'er has always been the most trusted big girl around her, and Qiu's mother is her most trusted and most important housekeeper mother. All the secret things are basically handed over to Qiu's mother to do.

Qiu's mother is almost 50 years old this year. His hair was already a little gray, but he was very neatly tidy. A pair of small eyes flashed with fine light, and respectfully greeted Shen Qiuyu: "The old slave has seen Concubine Shen'......"

"Okay, don't be so polite." In front of Qiu's mother, who watched herself grow up. Shen Qiuyu also lost a little bit of arrogance, and after retiring all the maids, he lowered his voice and asked, "Mother Qiu." How is Yuna doing now? ”

Although there were no outsiders in the house, bring up the topic. Qiu's mother also naturally lowered her voice very low: "Yun'er has a strong morning sickness reaction these days, and she can hardly eat anything." The old slave only went to see her outside the house yesterday. I also quietly brought a lot of supplements over. ”

Shen Qiuyu snorted. She was never pregnant. I don't know much about the woman's pregnancy reaction, so I don't care about it. Then he asked the most important question: "When you went out, didn't you arouse the suspicion of others!" ”

Qiu's mother replied affirmatively: "No, the old slave has been out of the house three times in the past two months, and each time he deliberately chooses the time for dinner." I went out quietly through the back door again, and when I came back, it was basically late at night. So it's safe to assume that no one is paying attention. ”

Shen Qiuyu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that no one pays attention." Especially beware of the side of the crown princess, she must not be allowed to detect the clues. "Of course, it is not a glorious thing to give birth to a child in the womb, if it is detected, it will not only fall short, but also completely anger the prince. Her ambition to be the queen has completely come to naught. Therefore, it has to be done very secretly. Not only to hide from the prince, but also from the shrewd Mo.

Shen Qiuyu originally hoped that a child would pop out of her belly, but it has been almost eight years since she married into the prince's mansion, and the children of other concubines were born one after another, but there was no news of her stomach. After a long time, she also realized something in her heart. She's probably the kind of woman who can't be born with children. But she really needed a son, and after thinking about it day and night, she finally came up with the idea of having a child in her belly. As for the candidate, of course, you have to find the big girl Yun'er who you trust the most.

Yun'er opened her face to serve the prince two years ago, but she has always been drinking the soup to avoid the child. Shen Qiuyu secretly changed the decoction for her since years ago, and specially chose Yun'er to sleep with the prince on days when she was prone to conception. Yun'er's stomach was really angry, and there was movement within a few months.

Shen Qiuyu was overjoyed, secretly bought off Imperial Doctor Wang, and then performed such a good show. As for Yun'er, she was quietly sent out of the house by Qiu's mother as early as the night she found out she was pregnant, and "recuperated" in a very secluded courtyard in the name of having a sudden illness. In order not to make people suspicious, even the maid who served Yun'er's diet and daily life was specially bought from Ya Pozi. The maid didn't even know who she was serving.

As for Shen Qiuyu herself, she stays in the yard every day and makes it look like she is raising a baby. In order to make his body look like he was pregnant, he quietly wrapped a cotton cloth around his abdomen after three months of pregnancy. When the "month" is older in the future, you will have to sew a small pillow or something and stuff it into your clothes......

Even if Shen Qiuyu planned carefully, when the matter came, he deeply felt the thorniness and danger of this matter. Now there are only four people who know the inside story, in addition to herself, there are Yun'er and Qiu's mother, plus a royal doctor. When "raising a baby", you even have to hide it from all the maids in the yard, which is really not an easy thing.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the little things like dressing and undressing every day used to be served by maids, but now, she has to dress and undress herself, and she has to try her best to be natural, so as not to arouse anyone's suspicion. It's okay now, after all, there are only a few loops of cotton wrapped around it. When the pillow is stuffed in the future, it will be a real headache......

That's not to say. The real difficulty is when you are about to give birth. If you want to find a few reliable midwives, you must not show the slightest hint of rhetoric. You have to calculate the right time to start, and when Yun'er gives birth to a child, she will be carried into the house immediately. This qiē had to be concealed from the prince and Mo's ......

There are so many complicated things that need to be prepared in advance, and Shen Qiuyu seems to be quietly raising the fetus, but in fact, he has not stopped thinking about it in his mind at all.

At this time, she also deeply felt that there was not enough manpower around her. There are many maids and women in the yard, and most of them are loyal to her. But no one knows if there is any eyeliner that was secretly bought by Mo's family, and the only people she can really trust are Yun'er and Qiu's mother, who have been following her......

Shen Qiuyu's eyes flickered, and he fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Shen Qiuyu was silent, Qiu's mother didn't dare to speak, so as not to disturb her thoughts. After a long time, Shen Qiuyu said in a low voice: "Mother Qiu, you will find a few reliable midwives tomorrow." Leave four in my yard, and secretly pick two more experienced ones to live with Yun'er, and remember to give more silver to seal their mouths. ”

Qiu's mother nodded in response, and said in a low voice: "After Yun'er is born, will you deal with the two midwives...... "No matter how much silver you have, you may not be able to seal your mouth." It's better to do it cleanly and neatly, so that it can be done once and for all.

Sure enough, what kind of master there is, what kind of slave there is! When Qiu's mother mentioned the two lives, it was as easy as mentioning the good weather today.

A cold glint flashed in Shen Qiuyu's eyes: "Don't be in a hurry to think about this for the time being, wait until the child is born." If it's a baby girl, you don't have to go through so many twists and turns. If it's a baby boy, do it cleanly. ”

Mother Qiu responded, thought about it and said, "That Imperial Doctor Wang is really too greedy. He had secretly given him a silver ticket of 5,000 taels before, but when he came to ask for peace a few days ago, he revealed the meaning of asking for silver......

"Give as much as he wants." Shen Qiuyu's face did not change and ordered: "The more he receives, the more he will do his best to cover up for me." This silver must not be saved. ”

"But if you continue like this, until the child is born safely, I don't know how much money it will cost." Qiu's mother knows Shen Qiuyu's private room well: "Although you have saved a lot of private houses over the years, it cost a lot to buy Xiao Tao last time." This time it will take most of it, so ...... in the future."

"In the future, when I have a son, who else will be my opponent in the inner courtyard of this prince's mansion. A little silver is nothing. Shen Qiuyu took over the conversation lightly: "In the future, His Royal Highness will ascend the throne as the emperor, and that sick man will not have the energy to take care of the six palaces at all, who else will be the queen?" (To be continued......)
