Pregnant women are not allowed to touch swords or even scissors...... Not only in today's era, in Zhang Shou's impression, there are also mothers-in-law or mothers who work hard to educate daughters-in-law or daughters. Of course, for the young man of his age, this taboo was not mainly a matter of good luck or not, but simply a problem of worrying that a pregnant woman would use a sharp weapon in case one of them missed and hurt herself.

However, for Concubine Yu, who had fought a bloody path with Jiu Niang on the eve of childbirth, and then both gave birth prematurely, the sword was not only a weapon for self-defense, but also another kind of spiritual sustenance for her.

Therefore, in Yonghe Palace, even if the two stable women who moved over early to serve, and the two medical women who had experience in serving mothers, were so anxious that they could not take away the short sword in Concubine Yu's hand. Although her face was pale with pain, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, Concubine Yu's hand still held the sharp weapon steadily, and she refused to listen to anyone's persuasion.

She heard a commotion outside, followed by Zhu Ying's familiar voice again, and immediately couldn't help laughing. Soon, with a rush of footsteps, the familiar girl pounced directly in front of her, calling Niangniang anxiously. Seeing that Zhu Ying's face was flushed with anxiety, she couldn't help laughing: "What are you afraid of, it's just to have a child, and it's not that I'm going to die!" ”

"!" Zhu Ying was so angry that her eyebrows stood up, "At this time, how can you say such an unlucky word!" And this sword......"

Seeing that Zhu Ying stretched out her hand to grab the short sword in her hand, although Concubine Yu was forced into a cold sweat by the high pain, she still refused to give it, until Zhu Ying said a sentence angrily, she was slightly stunned, and in a panic, she was snatched away the sword in her hand by the girl in front of her who had grown up since childhood.

"Even if something really happens, with me, I will guard you with a sword to ensure that no one from the cow, ghost, snake and god can enter! You can have a baby in peace! ”

Yuquan, who was following behind, couldn't help but hold her forehead by Zhu Ying's words, however, she had to be calmer after all, and asked Wen Po and the doctor girl at this time, and learned that Concubine Yu had started early, and now the pain had already attacked, but the birth canal had just opened, and she frowned, she was very unsure whether this was premature birth and imminent delivery, or if there was something else in the womb, or ......

Or maybe it's the worst possible – dystocia.

She took a deep breath with a complicated mood, but she didn't step forward to comfort anything, because she knew that Concubine Yu's character didn't need any comfort at all. She didn't point fingers, but instructed Wen Po and the medical women to prepare according to the plan in advance, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the palace attendants in Yonghe Palace were also calm.

Not to mention the biological mother of the third prince, the imperial concubine lives in the West Sixth Palace, and it is not so fast to come over, even if she is next door, her performance in case of trouble will not be much better than Concubine Jiang. So, before anyone arrived, she didn't think there was anything wrong.

However, in the past three years, there has been no import of Ding in the palace, and the child in Concubine Yu's womb, even if there is a master in the East Palace, it can't talk about much practical significance, but at least it can make up for the emperor's pain of losing a child. Both men and women are all a rare happy event. As for worrying about whether people will be as favored as the third prince when they grow up, it is too early.

The famous Zhao Wuling King I's reputation was ruined by Lichu, will the current emperor be like this, although she was also worried, but this is a matter of the future after all. The Queen Mother will not do anything to Concubine Yu, who is clearly favored at the moment, for the sake of the future......

However, Yuquan, who was trying his best to reduce his sense of existence, suddenly heard Concubine Yu's voice: "Yuquan Shanggong, where is Zhang Shou?" Didn't Yingying say that she would bring Zhang Shou to see me today? ”

Zhu Ying was about to answer, but Yuquan preemptively said: "He is with Concubine Jiang Niangniang, who is planning to rush over after hearing the news, and he should be behind us." Concubine Niangniang, do you want to see him now? ”

If it were to be replaced by another concubine, and at this juncture, then she would definitely give up seeing an outsider who had nothing to do with her, but Concubine Yu was Concubine Yu in the end, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and then she said in an undoubted tone: "Of course, I want to see him." I didn't expect to have any more children at my age, and I was lucky thanks to his mother. ”

At this moment, Zhang Shou and Concubine Jiang happened to be standing in front of the delivery room of Yonghe Palace. Even if Concubine Yu's voice was not too loud, under the premise that everyone else almost stopped breathing and tried not to make a sound, he naturally heard these words clearly. And before he could think about whether to use this as an opportunity to enter generously, Concubine Jiang on the side spoke.

"Master Zhang, since the concubine Niangniang said so, then you can go in." Just because she forgot the instructions of Qingning Palace in a hurry, she almost made a joke, Concubine Jiang was originally a little unnatural, but when she came over with Zhang Shou, she was casually talking to herself about the things of the four princes, and her mood had completely calmed down.

This is her son's favorite and most respected teacher, and he is not an outsider!

After Concubine Jiang said this, she smiled and opened the curtain herself. In the face of her enthusiasm and kindness, Zhang Shou only bowed down and thanked him, then calmed down, and quickly stepped forward and stepped over the threshold to enter.

Even if the palace people and the chamberlains of Yonghe Palace had long known that Zhang Shou was coming--they hadn't seen it before-but at this time, they really saw such a young man coming in from outside the door, it was very handsome, leisurely and extraordinary, and it seemed that he was three points more handsome than when he saw him before, some of them were heartbroken, and some of them quietly went to see Zhu Ying.

Compared with Princess Yongping, who is the daughter of the Son of Heaven, even if her background is unknown, Zhu Ying not only has two favors from the palace and the Zhao State Mansion, but also has such a husband, which is simply blessed. Princess Yongping is now even a taboo for the word marriage!

And Zhang Shou ignored the gaze that focused on him, and saw Zhu Ying come forward and grab him and walk to the bed, he saw a stable woman put down the curtain, and then was sent away by Yuquan shaking his head, he hesitated for a moment, and stopped three or four steps away from the bed.

Although he didn't shy away from the so-called rule that men can't enter the delivery room in these years - after all, a bunch of obstetricians and gynecologists in later generations were men, and there were men who felt sorry for their wives and went into the delivery room to accompany them, but they were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies - but Concubine Yu is not Zhu Ying, even if she is actually half a mother-in-law, he is not too close.

And when he opened his mouth to greet him, he said apologetically: "Niangniang, it seems that I came at the wrong time." ”

"No, you came at the right time."

Concubine Yu smiled very naturally, and when she saw Zhu Ying, who was sitting at the head of the bed, hurriedly came over to help her wipe her sweat, she continued to whisper: "I didn't expect that the child would move when you came today, it seems that he also wants to be born in this world as soon as possible." Ah Shou, your mother is the life-saving benefactor of me and Yingying's mother, and she and I owe her life. ”

Without waiting for Zhang Shou to disagree with this statement, she winked at Zhang Shou: "Now, Yingying is married to you, although this kind of thing can't be counted as me or Jiuniang to return your mother's love, after all, you are happy with each other, not just the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, but after all, we are also relieved because of your fate." ”

She took a light breath, and then said in a deep voice: "Yingying, you take Xiaoyue to my main hall bedroom, there is a box in the west corner, when you and Ah Shou go back, take the whole box with you." ”

Zhu Ying was about to refuse, but she saw Concubine Yu's eyes blazing, which was clearly unquestionable, Yuquan on the side was silent, and she saw that Zhang Shou hesitated for a moment but did not refuse, she thought about it and said coquettishly: "Okay, I'll go over and see, if there is anything in the box that we like and can use, I'll take it in a while, and the rest of the mothers will be left to Mingyue and her younger brothers and sisters!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Ying looked at herself after speaking, Zhang Shou couldn't help but give her a thumbs up - such a tacit and excellent good wife is really perfect.

Compared with simply rejecting Concubine Yu, which even has a little bit of kindness to entrust the future, an unseen approach like Zhu Ying is the best. And with his silent praise, Zhu Ying's eyebrows naturally fluttered, and Xiaoyue, who she had always been familiar with, went immediately.

Yuquan, on the other hand, stood by and watched quietly, without pointing fingers at all. After a while, she heard Zhu Ying's shouting from outside, why don't I be polite to Mingyue's girl...... And when she quietly went to observe Zhang Shou, she saw that Zhang Shou was joking with Concubine Yu calmly.

"Niangniang said before that I feel that I owe my mother, so if you give birth to a prince, why don't you also be a student for me in the future?"

Seeing that Concubine Yu was slightly stunned, he spread his hands with a smile and said, "Of course, immortals can't break between men and women, but if it's a daughter, isn't there still Yingying who can be a teacher?" This time the women's school opened, she said that she didn't want to care about it, and after she ran forward with great interest, it is estimated that she will not be able to retire in the future, so let her teach the little princess how to do it? ”

Concubine Yu's eyes lit up, and when she saw Zhang Shou smiling easily, she asked softly, "Do you mean it really?" ”

"Of course it's true!" Zhang Shou said seriously, "Yingying also said before that I am now a large number of students, and she also wants to accept a few." But the county lord of Hailing is quite interested, but it is estimated that he can't endure the hardships of martial arts, so he just defends himself...... If Niangniang is not worried about the little princess suffering in the future, then let Yingying be this teacher. ”

"Okay, okay." Concubine Yu was full of smiles between her eyebrows and eyes at this moment, and her whole person was completely relaxed, "When the child is born, whether it is male or female, it will be given to you and Yingying as students." If you have good qualifications, you will teach arithmetic and even those various knowledge, and Yingying will teach martial arts. If the qualifications are not good...... He is not bad at learning cooking skills from the king of Jiangdu. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shou once again confirmed that even if Concubine Yu was physically strong and her spirit had always been tenacious, but in the face of this production, she seemed a little pessimistic for some reason, otherwise she would not have entrusted her private belongings and even her children to them in advance.

Thinking of this, he said with a smile: "Niangniang is really open-minded, compared to you, the elders of those noble children in the Banshan Hall of the public school are not so enlightened. ”

Seeing Zhang Shou calmly talking about the gossip of the middle school students in Banshan Hall, a certain parent chased and killed the unsuccessful junior at home with a cane because his children said that they wanted to open a racecourse; If a certain family intermarries with a common people's family, it is like selling a daughter? What kind of son and son of a certain family went on a blind date several times, and he actually met a professional blind date girl......

met the same agent three times, which can be regarded as an alternative fate, and it is said that it is the daughter of a broken family.

Yuquan saw Zhang Shou talking with relish, as if he was gossiping with ordinary elders, and Concubine Yu's expression was gradually relaxed, and she asked a few words from time to time, while she breathed a sigh of relief, she also admired Zhang Shou's calmness.

After all, it has been an unwritten rule for a long time that men do not enter the delivery room, and no matter how close they are, they can only wait for good or bad news outside.

Zhang Shou changed his method to jump the topic, trying to make Concubine Yu think less, during which he saw Wen Po in and out of the curtain tent, and he had to take a few steps back so as not to get in the way. And soon, his helper returned. But I saw Zhu Ying come in briskly, and then said with a smile: "Ah Shou, Niangniang's box is so big, all of it is the books she has treasured over the years, and a few weapons!" ”

"Those books are all kinds of strange and strange things, literati notes, so she thinks that Mingyue, the girl who loves scriptures and historical articles the most, will not like it, as for weapons...... Hehe, the bright moon won't touch it anymore! There's even a set of armor in there, and I really wanted to put it out for you to see! ”

Concubine Yu's eyes suddenly showed brilliance, and the relaxed color just now disappeared, replaced by a little eagerness, and the person even grabbed the mattress and wanted to sit up like this: "Since you want to wear it, then go and wear it for me!" Although it is a few years old, it is well maintained, and it has never been worn outside, and it is not afraid of any bad spirits...... Quick, you're dressed up and show me! ”

Zhu Ying was slightly stunned, and then she didn't hesitate too much, said hello directly, and went back in a hurry.

And Zhang Shou saw that the stable woman standing in front of the bed suddenly looked sideways at Yuquan, and then the Qingning Palace Shang Gong looked at him and shook his head with an extremely slight amplitude. At first, his heart tightened, mistakenly thinking that Concubine Yu's current situation was very bad, but when he saw Yuquan's calm expression, coupled with the busy work and smell of a group of people just now, he thought about it again and couldn't help but think of another possibility.

It won't be ...... Concubine Yu's preparations before childbirth are going well, and she is about to give birth, so she needs him to avoid it?

Zhang Shou didn't have time to think about it, and immediately said with a smile: "I've never seen Yingying piercing armor." I've heard that armor is hard to wear, and even if someone helps, I think she'll be choking enough. Don't blame me, I'll go over and help her, and I'll let you appreciate what it is like to be in the world. ”

Seeing Zhang Shou nodding at Concubine Yu with a smile, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and passed with a gesture of help, Yuquan was suddenly relieved. You know, the squirming lips of the stable woman hinted to her that Concubine Yu's birth canal had opened five fingers, and she was about to open six fingers, so she didn't know what would happen next, so of course she hoped that Zhang Shou, a man, would understand the hint and avoid it quickly!
