Chapter 229: Having a Child
Outside the Prince's Mansion, Chi Xia wore gorgeous clothes and got off the carriage and returned to the mansion with a satisfied look.
She had just gone to attend the flower-viewing party held by Prime Minister Li Cheng's wife next door, but the purpose of her visit was neither to enjoy the flowers nor to make friends with the powerful, but to spread rumors about Chi Wan.
Recently, there was news in the capital about Chi Wan's inexplicable disappearance after being divorced, which was fabricated by her and Qingyun, and they were divided into two ways, Qingyun was responsible for spreading rumors in the market, and she was among the upper class, chewing her tongue in front of the rich wives.
They did this in order to completely ruin Chi Wan's reputation, to know how important chastity is for a woman, and people like Chi Wan who have been divorced are more likely to be used by Chi Xia to make a big fuss, and no matter how much she says, there are people who believe her.
Chi Xia is not too happy in her heart now, those rich ladies almost believed most of the words she said just now, and everything is going well in Qingyun's place at present, she wants to make Chi Wan unable to raise her head in front of everyone, and be squeezed in the entire capital, becoming a garbage that others avoid.
Thinking that as soon as Chi Wan left the gate of the prince's mansion in the future, someone would look at her with disgust, gossip about her behind her back, and even someone would throw rotten eggs at her and drive her away, Chi Xia was so happy.
But just as she was thinking about it, she only heard a series of hurried footsteps outside, which seemed to be faintly mixed with the woman's low sobbing, and the crying sound seemed to be clear.
Then, I saw that the prince broke in with a straight burst of anger, followed by his attendant, and the woman controlled by the attendant was Qingyun, she still had tears on her face at this time, and she whimpered and said vaguely: "Concubine ...... side"
Chi Xia stood up suddenly, and met the prince's vicious gaze, she was like a great enemy, and her whole person began to tremble with fear. The prince's coercion made Chi Xia almost breathless, and his chest was uncomfortable.
"You poisonous woman!" When the prince came up, he scolded, and Chi Xia only felt a pain in his heart when he heard the word poisonous woman.
"Why did you say that?" Chi Xia asked.
The prince motioned to his attendants and said, "Tell her what good her maid has done outside!" “
The attendant stepped forward with Qingyun, and as soon as he used his hand to kneel on Qingyun, the attendant said slowly: "The servant just went to the street and stumbled upon the personal maid next to the concubine who was chatting with others without knowing what she was talking about. ”
"What's the bad thing?" Chi Xia simply pretended not to know anything, since the matter had been revealed, it was best for her to clear up this matter with herself now, and not let the prince know that she was also involved in this matter.
The attendant replied: "She said that the eldest lady of the Chi family is not wanted, and her whereabouts are unknown after she was divorced, maybe she is ashamed to meet people because she has done something unseemly." ”
After hearing this, Chi Xia was surprised, she immediately stepped forward and slapped Qingyun hard, and yelled angrily: "Qingyun, this concubine really misjudged you!" How can you say such a thing outside! She is the sister of the concubine, even if the concubine has any grievances with her, it is not your turn to speak! ”
Qingyun bowed her head and was silent, only caring about crying to herself, so Chi Xia raised her head, hurriedly knelt down and said to the prince: "This matter is Qingyun's fault, it is the concubine who has no way to discipline the subordinates, and I implore the husband to hand over Qingyun to the concubine." ”
The prince looked at the scene in front of him, and his mouth made a smack sound, and he even clapped his hands.
Chi Xia was puzzled, only to hear the prince and he said mockingly: "Okay, I didn't expect you to like acting so much, concubine, do you want the prince to build a stage for you in the courtyard?" ”
"Husband...... What do you mean by that? ”
"Don't call me husband, I don't have a poisonous woman like you!" The crown prince suddenly pushed down Chi Xia, who was half-kneeling in front of him, and he had a lot of strength, and Chi Xia fell to the ground at once.
Chi Xia looked at the prince in disbelief, and the prince said, "Don't think I'm as stupid as you, so foolish. As far as your maid, how dare she go down and spread rumors about Chi Wan outside? ”
"Also, I don't believe that Prime Minister Li's wife will listen to what this maid said, she just came to remind me that she heard that something happened to Miss Chi, and thought that Miss Chi was my wife, so she came to express her condolences. Say, it wasn't you who did it! ”
Chi Xia has nothing to say now, she didn't expect this Prime Minister Li Cheng's wife to be so nosy, which can completely ruin her good deeds.
Chi Xia was powerless to quibble, seeing that the prince turned around and was about to leave, she hurriedly got up and grabbed the corner of the prince's clothes for a while, then knelt down, and shouted: "Husband, you listen to the concubine's explanation!" ”
"I don't want to listen!" The prince slapped Chi Xia with a backhand, and Chi Xia fell to the ground in response, and his stomach unfortunately hit the ground fiercely.
Chi Xia only felt that her stomach felt as if it was torn apart, and she held her stomach and groaned in pain: "My stomach ...... It hurts......"
Qingyun saw that her mother was injured, so she hurriedly crawled over and cried, "Concubine Fang, are you okay?" His Royal Highness the Prince, all this was done by the slave maid, don't blame the side concubine! ”
Seeing Chi Xia's unbearable pain, the prince realized the seriousness of the matter, he only wanted to punish Chi Xia and didn't want to kill someone. He hurriedly rushed to Chi Xia's side and picked her up, and then ordered the attendants, "Go and call the doctor." ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!" After the attendant received the order, he immediately went to invite the doctor to come, and after the doctor came, he saw Chi Xia still lying on the bed holding his stomach in pain, and the expression on the prince's face was cloudy, and his eyes revealed worry.
The doctor hurriedly checked Chi Xia's pulse first, he touched the pulse and suddenly raised his eyebrows, and immediately bowed to the prince on the side and said: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, Concubine Niangniang, she has been pregnant for more than two months!" ”
"What!" The prince was shocked, and Chi Xia, who was lying on the bed, was also surprised, she couldn't believe that she had a child.
The attendant on the side reminded: "Doctor, don't congratulate you first, the side concubine Niangniang accidentally bumped into her stomach just now, you hurry up and help see if there is anything wrong with the child!" ”
"Yes, yes, please avoid it."
The prince and his attendant went out and sat outside, and he still had the doctor's words of congratulations replaying in his head. Since he was drugged that time, he hasn't touched Chi Xia, and it's just one thing, and he actually has a child?
All of a sudden, he was going to be a father, and before the prince could buffer himself, the doctor had already walked out, reported the situation to the prince, and said: "The side concubine is fine, please rest assured that His Royal Highness the Prince." The old man also prescribed a few doses of fetal pills for the side concubine, so that the mother could take it on time. ”
"Got it, you stand down."
After the doctor left, the entourage also knelt down and congratulated the prince: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
However, the prince was not so happy, he was still in a trance at this time. He got up and went inside, and saw Qingyun and Chi Xia holding hands.
Chi Xia said happily: "Qingyun, you just heard it, the doctor said that the concubine has it!" ”
"Mother, the slave hears it!" Qingyun was still crying at this time, but it was full of happy tears, "Slave and maid, congratulations to the side concubine, congratulations to the side concubine!" ”
"No wonder the Japanese concubines always love to eat sour, and they are disgusting, it turns out that they are happy, I heard my mother say that the first three months are always bad."
"Concubine Fang, don't worry, you and the child in your belly will be safe and healthy."
Chi Xia turned her head and saw the prince standing at the door for an unknown amount of time, she was just about to get up from the bed, and the prince hurriedly stepped forward and signaled, "Don't move yet." ”
"Husband......" At this moment, this child is really at the right time, and he is about to do his mother a favor before he comes, "Husband, don't be angry, the concubine knows that it is wrong, don't blame the concubine, okay." ”
"Okay, but this maid can't let go, pull it down and hit five boards."
"Yes!"
This is almost the lightest punishment for the two of them, and after the entourage took Qingyun away, the prince and Chi Xia were left alone. The prince sat on the edge of the bed and took Chi Xia's hand, who lay on the bed and looked at the prince affectionately.
Chi Xia first broke the silence and said: "Husband, in fact, the concubine and her sister have no grievances as a family, but late that night, when I saw my husband confiding in my sister like that, the concubine was ...... Sad! ”
After saying that, Chi Xia began to sobb in a low voice, crying and crying. The prince didn't know how to comfort him, he stretched out his hand to wipe away Chi Xia's tears, and explained: "I was impulsive that night, and I did do something inhumane after drinking, and I swear never again." ”
"Is this true?" Chi Xia's eyes revealed a look of hope, and the prince must have nodded and said, "Seriously, now that we have children, I will be a father soon, how can it be child's play to say it." ”
Chi Xia's heart was warm when the prince said, she smiled happily and gently. At this moment, she was truly in love with the tall and handsome man in front of her, and her love for him was almost overflowing from her heart.
Chi Xia touched his stomach and said to himself: "Good boy, did you hear what your father said just now, you must have heard it, with you testifying for your mother, your mother will no longer be afraid." ”
Children are the best life savers, and it is easy to see from what happened just now. A woman who has a child, she is almost spoiled by a man in the palm of her hand, this time Chi Xia is really not afraid of heaven and earth, yes, even the crown princess is not afraid.
Now in the entire Prince's Mansion, only she is the biggest Chi Xia!
