1185. The Empress Gives Birth to a Baby
The time has come for Empress Lee so-sook to give birth.
At this time, she was drenched in sweat, lying in her bedroom, and her pretty face was already distorted in pain.
In his mouth, he was constantly scolding Zhao Dongting. Of course, it was Zhao Yu who came out of her mouth.
This only made the old mothers who delivered babies in the palace look so weird.
Listening to Li Xiushu's scolding, of course they can know who the child's father is.
Originally, the emperor's sudden birth had already surprised them greatly, after all, there was not the slightest rumor about the empress's pregnancy in the palace before.
And the child's father turned out to be the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, which made them even more surprised.
The empress was actually pregnant with the child of the Great Song Emperor?
Rao is these grandmothers usually don't care about national affairs, and at this time, I can't help but think about whether this Xixia will be surnamed Li or Zhao in the future.
The empress did not have the rest of the children.
And at the current age of the empress, no matter how she behaves, it doesn't look like she will have another child.
The child in her womb, whether male or female, will inevitably take over the position of Emperor of Western Xia in the future.
Anyway, Xixia already has her as an empress, and it will not be an uncommon event for another empress to appear.
And outside the gate of the dormitory, Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuan Ting also looked strange.
Li Xiushu's pregnancy, Helian Cheng is aware of it. And Zhongsun Xuanting is the nephew of Zhongsun Qifu, and he is trusted by Li Xiushu, so he naturally knew about it later.
After all, Li Xiushu can hide it from anyone, and it is impossible to hide it from Zhongsun Qifu.
On the occasion of Li Xiushu's delivery, Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuanting could only stand at the door of the dormitory to guard in person.
Outside the hospital, there are hundreds of cronies surrounded by two people.
No one is allowed to approach the Empress's dormitory without being summoned again.
From time to time, the two would look at each other.
But no one said anything.
What they are thinking in their hearts now is probably what the grandmothers in the dormitory are thinking.
The empress is really inscrutable.
At her age, she was actually married to the emperor who was far from the age of the Great Song Dynasty. and conceived this heir, I don't know what the empress thinks in her heart.
The only thing that is certain is that the empress could not be married to the Great Song Emperor because of her love for him.
The relationship between the subjects was not so simple, let alone the two emperors.
The empress must have her intentions.
I don't know when, suddenly there was a weak but extremely sharp scream in the dormitory.
Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuan Ting were slightly moved.
Then I heard the cry of a child.
"It's raw!"
Helian City whispered.
Then he and Zhongsun Xuan Ting looked at each other, and their eyes were complicated.
The birth of this child does not know what impact it will have on the future of Western Xia.
And in the dormitory, there was also a grandmother's voice sounding, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, he is a prince." ”
Mama carefully held the baby who was still covered in blood with her hand, cut the umbilical cord, put it in front of Li Xiushu, and showed it to Li Xiushu.
Li Xiushu's pretty face was almost bloodless.
At this moment, all the charm and majesty disappeared.
Sweating, she looked at the baby in front of her, and the corners of her mouth pulled into a very thick smile. The eyes are full of maternal brilliance, and they are extremely soft.
The baby in front of her only made her look as if she couldn't see enough.
Until Mama reminded her, "Your Majesty, it's time to take the prince down to wash his body." ”
Li Xiushu still just said, "Wait, let me see." ”
Mama said, "But like this...... The prince will be infected with the wind cold. ”
This is not a hot summer, and in a plateau like Western Xia, the climate is even drier and colder.
Li Xiushu heard this, and hurriedly changed her words: "Then take him down to clean it quickly, don't pay attention, don't let the prince be infected with the wind cold." ”
"Yes."
The old mother hurriedly took the baby and was about to go out.
And when the rest of the grandmothers were about to wipe Li Xiushu's body, they found that the emperor had fallen asleep with a satisfied smile.
This made them look at each other, but no one dared to wake up Li Xiushu.
Outside the house, Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuanting were still standing at the door.
The prince was taken out, and they all saw it.
The appearance of such a prince in Western Xia is of course a good thing for them.
After all, women are emperors, and they are not so justifiable after all. There will always be some people who will not be convinced.
And when the prince ascends the throne in the future, this hidden danger may also disappear into invisibility.
Even, as soon as this news spreads, it will immediately have some impact on the situation in the DPRK and China.
Of course, they are not sure whether the empress will make this matter public. That's why the two of them are still guarding the door.
They still have to ask Li Xiushu about this matter. In this way, I may also command the soldiers who are guarding outside.
After a while, Mama carried the baby back to Li Xiushu's bedroom.
When they passed by the door, the eyes of Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuanting were moving with the baby.
Then they looked at each other and smiled.
When the prince was born, they were guarding the door, which is not a kind of qualification and honor.
After the prince takes power, they can also be said to be the ones who watched the prince be born. This will be more or less beneficial to their future promotions and so on.
And judging from the current situation, it is also a wise decision for the two of them to choose to help the empress.
The empress quelled the rebellion on Lizhou East Road and other places, suppressed the big families, and her prestige was much stronger than when the previous emperor was there.
Western Xia was also more like a country than before.
Their Helian family and Zhongsun family, in a short time, should become the two most prosperous families in Western Xia.
Li Xiushu, who had just fallen asleep in the dormitory, seemed to have a sense, and woke up not long after the baby was carried to the room.
The first thing she did when she woke up was to look to the side.
When I see the baby, a thick smile appears on the corner of my mouth.
When she was in the Yuan Palace, due to Kublai Khan's age, she actually never thought that she would be able to have children in her life.
Giving birth to a child at her current age is enough to be considered an old child in this era. The love for this baby in my heart is afraid that it will be beyond measure.
A grandmother said: "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids will wipe your body for you." ”
Li Xiushu gently agreed, and let the grandmothers do it, her eyes just stared at the baby, and there was no movement of a second.
This means that Zhao Dongting is not here, if he is here, I am afraid that he will not be able to help but say a few words.
Looking at Li Xiushu's appearance, it looks like she will dote on this baby too much in the future.
After a while, Li Xiushu suddenly muttered to herself, "What should I give it a name?" ”
"Li Wang......"
"Not good, not good."
"Li Jiande ......"
"It's not good."
“……”
The ladies in the house were afraid to speak.
"Li Walk, Xiao ......"
The moment the name was spoken, Li Xiushu's face seemed to show some satisfaction.
Then she asked the ladies in the house, "What do you think of the name Li Goxiao?" ”
The grandmothers looked up at her, and their faces were strange.
Li Goxiao......
Isn't this Li Zhao?
Go to Jiaxiao, it is exactly a Zhao character.
No one would have thought that the emperor would have the word Zhao in the name of the prince.
This sensitive word also made them dare not answer easily.
Li Xiushu didn't get an answer for more than a while, and she didn't blame, she just looked at the baby, and didn't know what to whisper to the baby.
It took about half an hour for the grandmothers to clean up the palace.
The grandmother who went out with the doll before said: "Your Majesty, Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuanting are still waiting outside. ”
"Hmm."
Li Xiushu finally took her eyes off the baby, "Announce them in!" ”
Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuanting entered the house.
When she saw Li Xiushu lying on the bed, she kowtowed.
Li Xiushu looked at the two of them and only said: "No one is allowed to spread the news of my birth of the prince." ”
Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuanting received the order.
Li Xiushu said again: "Helian City, his wife should be about to give birth, right?" ”
Helian Cheng showed a slight puzzled look on his face, but still replied: "Back to the emperor, the inner man is indeed about to give birth. ”
"Hmmm......"
Li Xiushu groaned slightly, "Then when my wife gives birth, I will send someone to send the prince home." He said that his wife had given birth to twins. ”
Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuan Ting were all moved.
