Chapter 190: Giving Birth to a Son (Part II)
As soon as Concubine Hui began to suffer from labor pains, Queen Chen was the first to arrive, along with Ning Jieyu and the fifteenth princess Yimeng.
The fifteenth princess and the princess Chonghua are only half a year apart, but people do not have the aura of the princess Chonghua, and they look stupid and stupid.
Empress Chen's hand was placed on the small shoulder of the fifteenth princess, she glanced at Ning Jieyu, who was low-eyebrowed and pleasing to her eyes, and said to Concubine Hui with a smile, "This palace remembers that when Ning Jieyu was born and dreamed, it was very smooth, and Ning Jieyu took her to the palace to ask for peace, and the palace called them to come together, I hope you see her, the child in the belly can be born smoothly like her, don't toss for too long." ”
"Thank you for your hard work." Concubine Hui had just survived a period of pain, and it would be fine, so she cheered up to deal with Empress Chen. She touched the forehead of the fifteenth princess with a gentle smile, wrapped her arms around her, and suppressed the movement of her elbows as if she were nothing, so that she could not touch her stomach no matter what, and said: "This child's appearance is seven or eight points similar to Ning Jieyu, and his temperament is also well-behaved, so he is a painful one." ”
The fifteenth princess looked at Queen Chen with wide eyes, and then at Concubine Hui, a little dazed, but she still didn't dare to move, and was at the mercy of the two elders. looked subconsciously to find her mother, but Ning Jieyu just squeezed her handkerchief tightly and stood motionless in the corner behind Queen Chen.
Another burst of pain struck, Concubine Hui's face tense and covered her stomach, and she heard Queen Chen say to the fifteenth princess: "Yimeng, look, Concubine Hui has a baby in her belly. ”
Her tone was so soft that it almost made Concubine Hui feel that this was not Empress Chen. She subconsciously looked at the fifteenth princess, and saw that her eyes lit up with a light that was different from Fang Cai's sluggishness, as if she had received some kind of encouragement, and if she did the right thing, she could get delicious snacks.
"Mother?"
The voice of the eleventh princess came from outside the hall, but Concubine Hui's attention was still on the fifteenth princess, she subconsciously stood up, and the hand holding Yimeng's shoulder pushed forward, Yimeng was unprepared, and the little short leg stumbled and tripped herself to the ground.
"Yikes!" The maid beside Concubine Hui exclaimed in surprise and looked at Concubine Hui in surprise, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Concubine Hui was in unbearable pain, holding her stomach and unable to speak with an ugly face.
The fifteenth princess sat on the ground, howling and crying, Ning Jieyu clenched the handkerchief in her hand and held back without moving. Sui Yue helplessly helped the fifteenth princess up, "Is the princess okay?" ”
"Mother, what's wrong?"
The eleventh princess came in and was stunned when she saw Yimeng's little dot here, and it took a long time to recognize that this was her fifteenth sister. She looked at Empress Chen inexplicably, "The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." ”
"Excuse me, hurry up and accompany your mother! Yimeng, how did you fall. ”
Empress Chen said this, but she glanced at Concubine Hui reproachfully, stepped forward to wipe away the tears on the face of the fifteenth princess with a handkerchief, and expressed dissatisfaction with Concubine Hui's inexplicable behavior. "Ning Jieyu, you take Yimeng to the outer hall."
Ning Jieyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, stepped forward to salute Queen Chen and Concubine Hui, and beckoned to her daughter, Yimeng got out of Suiyue's hand, and returned to Ning Jieyu's side timidly, no longer crying, honestly not like a five-year-old child.
The mother and daughter retreated with the fifteenth princess silently, and Concubine Hui tried to adjust her breathing to relieve the pain, while explaining: "The concubine didn't mean to, she just missed it for a while......"
Empress Chen was displeased, but she didn't say anything when she saw that she was in imminent labor pain: "You have given birth, I won't say much about what you need to pay attention to, this palace is in the outer hall." ”
Empress Chen walked out of the inner hall, and the eleventh princess stepped forward to support Concubine Hui and asked, "Mother, how are you?" ”
"It's okay...... "After all, she is a person who has given birth, has experience, and is not so afraid.
The eleventh princess breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "What's wrong with Fang Cai?" ”
Concubine Hui shook her head strangely: "It's nothing, maybe I'm thinking too much." ”
The eleventh princess nodded: "Mother often thinks a lot after she is pregnant, and this will be about to give birth, so don't think about it." ”
Concubine Hui nodded, and the pain gradually subsided, "If it's a son...... It has to be a son! ”
………………
Qingru promised the news that Concubine Hui was about to give birth, so she asked Xiong Bao'er to go to Jiang Rin immediately, and she and Jiang Rin did everything possible to force Chen Rong, wanting her to tell the relevant news that Empress Chen assassinated Empress Chunrong and blamed Liu Zhaoyi, in order to find an opportunity to expose Empress Chen's ugly deeds.
If Empress Chen wants to do anything when Concubine Hui is in labor, it is a very good time.
Xiong Bao'er quickly came back with Jiang Rin's news, saying that Chen Rong was already on the verge of collapse and needed a little time.
Qing Ruxu pondered in her heart, so she first asked Qing Rudu to return to Du Ruoge, "Isn't it time for Miss Leng to go to the palace to see Princess Hanyuan today?" ”
"Yes, when the slave came back, she was asking people to prepare the car."
Princess Hanyuan no longer needs Leng Lingyu to be by her side to take care of her all the time, so Leng Lingyu only needs to enter the palace once every ten days and a half months.
Qing Ruxu heard her say this and immediately said: "Go quickly, let Miss Leng wait, let's enter the palace with her, Lan Zhou, help me change my clothes." ”
Everyone was busy, Lan Zhou was a little worried, and while changing her clothes for Qing Ruxu with neat movements, she said: "The birth of the concubine is a big event, and the girl will inevitably encounter any danger if she is so involved." ”
"You don't know, whether it's Jiang Rin or me, the grudge between me and Empress Chen will break out sooner or later."
At the same time that she and Jiang Rin were investigating Empress Chen, Empress Chen was also investigating the matter of respecting the heirs of the imperial concubines back then, if she knew about Jiang Rin's existence, the means would never be gentler than when dealing with Liu Zhaoyi, and the matter would definitely get out of control, and the Qing family would also be affected.
And the people who have helped Jiang Rin over the years can't guarantee that they won't fall into the palm of Empress Chen's hands.
Therefore, the purpose of Qing Ruxu and Jiang Rin is to make Empress Chen bear the consequences of her previous evil deeds before all this happens. At the same time, Qing Ruxu also has her own selfishness, that is, the agreement with the cloakman. At least until she figured out the details of the cloak, she couldn't be careless.
The secret of rebirth, maybe one day she will tell Jiang Rin to let him know, but definitely not now.
Lan Zhou couldn't quite understand Qing Ruxu's words, so she could only customize her again and again, so be careful. "I don't know if there are any people like Bao'er around Jiang Gongzi, they should all come over to protect the girl."
Qing Ruxu listened to her pun and said with a smile: "It should be gone." ”
Bao'er immediately said, "No, no, there are a few people like this girl who are so smart, cute and strong in martial arts!" ”
Lan Zhou glanced at her: "It's good to protect the girl!" ”
Bao'er gave her an expression of "the old lady can't be provoked", "Yes, yes, Sister Lanzhou, don't worry!" ”
………………
The labor pains in Concubine Hui's abdomen have been tight for a while, she is one of the few favored concubines in the harem, no one dares to slack off, countless palace maids inside and outside are busy, and Wen Po is also ready to wait for Concubine Hui to give birth.
At this time, the emperor accompanied the Queen Mother to hurry over and inquire about Concubine Hui's situation.
Suiyue said: "Back to the emperor, Wen Po said that Niangniang had given birth to a child before, as long as the child is in the right position and not too big, the second child will not be too sad." ”
Concubine Hui is cautious by nature, and has given birth to eleven princesses, pregnant for ten months, and eats very restrainedly, so as not to have a large and difficult birth.
The emperor nodded when he heard this, and his expression inevitably revealed a trace of expectation, "Okay, as long as Concubine Hui gives birth safely, everyone will be rewarded!" ”
"Emperor Xie!"
Everyone showed joy, hoping that Concubine Hui would give birth to a little prince to the emperor, and the emperor would definitely be happy, and the reward would definitely be more and more abundant.
There was a lot of joy outside, but the atmosphere in the inner sanctum was a little tense.
Concubine Hui was in pain, and she couldn't speak, and she vaguely heard Suiyue's voice, "You are also a stable woman?" Why haven't I seen you? ”
Before Wen Po could answer, the voice of the pity star said hurriedly: "Ah, Niangniang seems to be about to give birth!" Hurry up, the hot water is ready! ”
When Sui Yue saw Concubine Hui's face, she also became anxious, urging everyone to hurry up.
Concubine Hui was very sensitive, and she was still worried about the strange stable woman that Suiyue had just said, but she swept her eyes over, but she didn't see anyone, and just wanted to call Suiyue to come over and ask, but there was a sharp pain, she knew that the child was about to come out, and she was powerless to say anything, so she could only hold on to the bed tent and breathe.
"Mother, it's time, force, take a deep breath, use some force!"
The voices of the stable women rose and fell in Concubine Hui's ears, and she began to exert herself with all her strength.
She thought that this was the second child, and it shouldn't be as long as when she gave birth to the eleventh princess, but no matter how hard she tried, the child just couldn't be born.
Suiyue squatted beside the bed and kept wiping Huifei's sweat, "How is it?" Is it out? ”
Lian Xing kept staring at Wen Po and said, "No, no, I haven't seen anything...... Sister Suiyue, Niangniang is like this, why don't you call the imperial doctor to come and take a look? ”
The imperial physicians are waiting outside the hall in case of an emergency. Suiyue saw Concubine Hui's painful appearance, and advised: "You are watching here, I will go to the emperor." ”
As soon as the moon left, Lian Xing stepped forward and wiped off the sweat on her face for Concubine Hui, Wen Po continued to cheer up Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui gritted her teeth desperately, and suddenly felt a stream of heat flowing out below, and then heard a loud cry.
Concubine Hui's spirit was shocked, and her heart was overjoyed.
Immediately followed by another cry, but it was a little different from Fang Cai's voice, much weaker and thinner. Concubine Hui frowned, struggled to wave away the handkerchief of the star and looked up, and saw Wen Po holding the child over: "Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang, it's a little princess!" ”
Concubine Hui's face instantly froze: "Princess? Bring the child to me. ”
Seeing that Concubine Hui was not happy, Wen Po looked past with a sneering face, and brought the child in her arms to Concubine Hui.
Concubine Hui lifted the quilt and saw that it was really a daughter, her heart was empty, and the blood faded in an instant, and the stable woman was a little frightened for a while. "Mother?"
