Two days later, it was the Chinese New Year's Eve of the 30th lunar month. According to the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang, this day is the day of the clan gathering, and the clans in Beijing, regardless of men and women, must enter the palace to participate in the banquet.
However, this banquet has been somewhat formalized after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Yunxi is not Zhu Yuanzhang, he is very affectionate even for his children and grandchildren, and he has a good relationship with most uncles and brothers, and it is impossible for him to have feelings for his uncles and brothers.
But it is formalized, and Yunxi also has to be held, one is to show that he does not violate the tradition, and the other is to talk to every adult clan, especially those who have little contact on weekdays, to enhance understanding.
And this year, Zhu Bai entered Beijing to pay tribute, and he had to hold a clan banquet.
But Yun Xi wanted to prevent a person from not participating in the clan feast.
"Xi Yao, you have a big belly, you may give birth at any time in the next two days, why bother to go to the party again, just let Xi Yi preside over it for you." Yun Xi said.
"Your Majesty, I haven't been born yet! I'll show up, say a few words to my sisters-in-law, and come back. Xi Yao said with a smile. It is the queen's duty to preside over the clan banquet, and although Xiyao already has such a big belly, she still wants to show her face and let everyone who can participate in the banquet know clearly: I am the queen.
"This, well, you show up, but don't eat or drink anything, just say a few words casually, and come back." Yun Xi said. He couldn't help Xiyao, so he could only agree, but he told him two words.
Of course, Xi Yao smiled and agreed. Yun Xi was still not at ease, so he called two of the imperial doctors and waited in the side hall of Jiaotai Palace.
Of course, the clan gathering was as chaotic as ever, even if Yun Xi came, everyone just saluted him, and then they were still talking in a mess.
It wasn't until Yun Xi announced the start of the banquet that everyone stopped talking and stood up together to toast Yun Xi; Yun Xi also raised the wine glass with rice wine in his hand in response.
Under the influence of Yunxi, the distilled liquor, which was once flourishing during the reign of the Mengyuan Dynasty, that is, the liquor of later generations, fell silent again and no one cared about it, and everyone began to drink fermented liquor again.
Yun Xi himself does not like to drink distilled liquor very much, for him, whether it is a liquor with a higher degree in the past life (including one or two thousand Moutai), or a liquor with a low degree of distillation and low degree in this life, he feels that it is not delicious, and he can't experience other flavors except spicy. So he quit drinking in his previous life, and he always drank rice wine or fruit wine in this life.
After three glasses of wine, Yun Xi said a few words, which roughly meant 'everyone eat and drink well', and then find someone to chat one-on-one.
According to the close relationship, the closest relationship between Yun Xi and Yun Xi here is Yun Xu, but Yun Xi is only ten years old and eleven years old, a little hairy child, Yun Xi fooled him with two casual words, and then ordered Zhu Ying to be called to him.
Zhu Ying is still the oldest of the princes who are still stranded in Beijing, and he will be nineteen after the New Year, and there were rumors that Yunxi and Zhu Ying had a bad relationship, so they did not give him a fief; Later, Zhu Ying said that he only wanted to stay in the capital and did not want to be sealed, so he clarified this matter. Some people despise him, but others agree with him.
Yun Xi looked at Zhu Ying and said to him, "Twenty-second uncle, can you change your mind now?" ”
Of course, Zhu Ying knew what he was talking about, and said, "I haven't changed my mind." ”
Yun Xi sighed. He was actually reluctant to let his uncles stay in the capital. Zhu Ying, Yun Xi, has no impression of his previous life, and he doesn't know what his descendants are, but according to the general law of things, there should be more children who don't learn and don't have skills when they don't have to work, and he wants to send them overseas out of sight and out of mind.
But Zhu Ying insisted on staying in the capital, so Yun Xi could only let him stay. 'It would be nice if your personality was reversed with Yun Wen'. Yun Xi thought. The only prince he wanted to stay in the capital was Yun Wen.
After that, the uncle and nephew chatted.
……
……
On the other side, Xi Yao was talking to Wu, the wife of Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang. Wu is the daughter of Wu Zhen, Marquis of Jinghai, the niece of Wu Liang, the Duke of Jiangguo, and the cousin of Wu Gao, Marquis of Huaiyin. In the twenty-third year of Hongwu, Wu Frame chased Hu Weiyong's remaining party, and his son Wu Zhong's title was removed, but Wu Gao survived, so she still has a mother's family with some energy.
Wu Zhong wanted to marry his youngest daughter to Xue Xiyang as his wife, but Xue Xian's husband and wife were difficult to decide, so they sent someone to tell Xiyao about the matter and asked her to decide; Wu Gao also knew that the final decision on the Xue family's major affairs was in the hands of Xi Yao, and it happened that the King of Xiang had entered Beijing to pay tribute, so he told his sister about the matter and asked her to help make peace in front of the queen.
Wu was naturally willing, so he said hard at this time: "Niangniang, I have also seen this little niece since I was a child, I met again a few days ago, she is very smart, and she is fifteen years old this year and Xue Qianhu (Xue Xiyang hereditary thousand households) is also on the same level. ……”
Xi Yao thought for a moment, and felt that Wu Zhong's family was not prominent, and he was related to the King of Xiang, so he should not commit Yun Xi's taboo, and decided to list this little girl as one of the candidates.
As soon as she wanted to tell the Wu family that she would bring this little girl into the palace for me to see in two days, she felt that something was wrong with her stomach.
She has already given birth to two children, and immediately realized: she is about to give birth!
She didn't care about talking to the Wu family, and said to Zhiyi: "Quick, help me back to the Qianqing Palace." Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, reacted, and said to Princess Wu of Xiang: "I'm sorry." He picked up Xiyao and walked out.
Wu Shi was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, he noticed Xi Yao's unswerving face, coupled with her upright big belly, and understood that she was about to give birth, so he immediately stood up and got out of the way and said, "Call the Imperial Doctor!" ”
Everyone who was talking to each other was startled by her voice, and then saw Xi Yao who was slowly walking out from behind under the service of the palace maid. Everyone immediately knew that the queen was about to give birth, and after Xi Yao walked out of the house, they chattered.
"Do you think the queen can give birth to a prince or a princess?"
"I think the queen's belly is round, and most of them are princesses. ……”
……
……
Yun Xi stopped chatting with Zhu Ying at this time, and was thinking about whether to have a good time with Zhu Bai first, when he saw Yun Zhi running over in a hurry, and said without waiting for Yun Xi to reprimand: "Brother Huang, the imperial sister-in-law is about to give birth." ”
"What!" Yun Xi screamed, and then became entangled: the banquet has just started for a quarter of an hour, and it can't be declared over now; In later generations, no one will blame him for hearing that his wife is going to give birth to a child and leave the table, but this era is likely to make everyone talk about it, and Xiyao's reputation is not good, and it is impossible for her to give birth to the eldest son now.
Although Yun Zhi's voice was not loud, several people in front of Yun Xi heard it. They also immediately noticed Yun Xi's tangled look, and secretly wondered that Yun Xi and Xi Yao's relationship was so good.
Zhu Bai also had a good relationship with his wife, and when he saw that Yun Xi was the emperor and had countless concubines who still had such a deep affection for the queen, he was immediately quite moved, and whispered next to his ear: "Your Majesty can pretend to be respectful, if a woman gives birth to a child, it won't take long for her to give birth naturally, and Your Majesty will come back after a while." ”
Yun Xi immediately knew that this was a reason to fool the past after hearing Zhu Bai's words, and gave Zhu Bai a grateful look, so he stood up and smiled and said to the other brothers that he would go to the toilet, and then went out of the main hall of Jiaotai Palace.
Yun Xi ran to the side hall as soon as he left the Tai Palace, and after a while, he ran to the side hall and saw dozens of palace maids gathered here, some of the palace maids kept going in and out of the hall with something in their hands.
Yun Xi saw that the waiter was at the door, grabbed her arm and asked, "How is Xi Yao now?" ”
The waiter was caught by him, but his face remained unchanged and said: "The midwife has come over and is giving birth to the queen inside; In the next room, there are three doctors from the Tai Hospital. ”
"What about the transfusions? Are you ready? Yunxi asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, there are eight people in total, all staying in another room, ready to donate blood at any time." The waiter said.
Yun Xi asked more than a dozen questions with a face, and the waiter answered them one by one without panicking.
Yun Xi also calmed down, let go of the hand holding the waiter, and sat aside to wait. After a while, the three Yunlan sisters, Min'er, Wenyuan, and Wenqi also came over to accompany Yunxi, and Xiyi had to replace Xiyao to host the banquet with the princess and princesses, and she had to get out and didn't come over.
Because Xiyao had already given birth to two children, and it didn't take long for the first two children to be born naturally, so he thought it would be the same this time, but the longer and longer and the palace maids who kept coming in and out told him that the situation was not good this time.
Yun Xi became nervous again, but he was not an obstetrics and gynecology doctor, so he couldn't help at this time, so he could only be anxious.
Before the end of the clan banquet, Yun Xi returned to the main hall of Jiaotai Hall and said a few more words, drank a few glasses of wine with them, announced the end of the banquet, and then hurried back to the side hall.
At this time, Siqi also came over. Because Siqi couldn't participate in the clan banquet, he simply took advantage of this time to sleep this year, and when he woke up, he learned that the queen was about to give birth, so he hurried over.
After a while, Xiyi also rushed over to accompany Yunxi.
I don't know how long later, the loud cry of the child came from the house, and the midwife also walked out with a happy face and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the mother and child are safe." ”
Yun Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood unsteadily and fell backwards, but fortunately, the eunuch next to him hugged him quickly, so he didn't let him fall to the ground.
Yun Xi patted his chest and said, "It can be regarded as a birth." Then he regained his consciousness as an emperor and said: "Each midwife will be rewarded with ten taels of gold, the palace maid will be added five hundred yuan, and the female official will be added to the rank of official." He asked Huang Fu to take out a gold bracelet and said to the midwife who reported the news, "I will reward you alone." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The midwife knelt down and said.
Yun Xi told the imperial doctor to take a look at Xi Yao's condition, and forced himself to walk in to take a look at his seventh child, unable to sleep.
