Chapter 95: The eldest son of mixed blood
After Xu Qing finished dealing with the affairs of France, he hurried back to London, England, non-stop, because he heard that Queen Isabella was about to give birth, and this was his own child, so he couldn't ignore it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBecause this child will become the king of Spain in Xu Qing's plan in the future, it is an important part of Xu Qing's plan.
Although the current status of this child is illegal, as the situation changes, who knows the future! As long as the strength is enough to break through the so-called morality of Europe, then it is very possible that this child will become the rightful heir. Therefore, Xu Qing attaches great importance to the dream of becoming the world's grandfather.
"How's Isabella?" Xu Qing asked.
"Minister Xu Qing, please rest assured, in Buckingham Palace, we have invited the best doctor to deal with it, and we will definitely handle the matter very properly." Said the maid at Buckingham Palace.
Xu Qing looked at Buckingham Palace and hurriedly said, "Go and let people disinfect with alcohol, otherwise it will be easy to breed bacteria, which will be troublesome." “
"Alcohol, sanitization?" The palace maid didn't quite understand this gameplay.
Xu Qing quickly explained: "Disinfecting with alcohol and allowing doctors to wash their hands with alcohol can greatly reduce the risk of postpartum infection and greatly improve the survival rate of mothers." ”
"Huh? I'll go right away! The palace maid said.
As a woman, the palace maid naturally knew the importance of this, and Buckingham Palace was quickly disinfected with alcohol. Queen Victoria was also very impressed.
"Minister Xu Qing, how do you understand this, the whole world is very worried about postpartum infection, you actually know this?" Queen Victoria asked.
Xu Qing didn't bother to explain that in this era, it is almost very dangerous for women to give birth. Even if the European theory of disinfection and immunity has not been able to come up, its own method is already advanced. It can improve maternal survival and reduce the risk of infection, which is very beneficial.
Soon, Queen Isabella was about to give birth, and Xu Qing, a man, had nothing to do. Especially if he doesn't know medicine, there really is no good way to do it except to be in a hurry.
"Isabella is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, giving birth at this age is a big risk!" Xu Qing thought helplessly.
Xu Qing paced back and forth in Buckingham Palace, and there was no good way. After a full two hours, the good news finally came.
"Minister Xu Qing, Queen Isabella gave birth to a son, mother and son are safe!" The palace maid had good news.
Xu Qing quickly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank God, there were no bloody plots and any difficult births." “
Xu Qing came to Queen Isabella and saw his newborn child. Xu Qing picked up the child, this child obviously has the characteristics of both Eastern and Western races, such characteristics are Xu Qing's son at first glance, and it can't be faked.
"I have a son, well, I have a son!" Xu Qing was also very happy to say.
He was a man in two lives, and he had a son for the first time, how could this not make him happy. When he was a diplomat for more than ten years, the discipline of diplomats was very strict, and he could not marry a foreigner in a foreign country, and he had been stationed abroad for more than ten years, so he had almost no time to find a wife, so naturally he had no son. But now that he has a son, he feels that he really has a continuation of his offspring. Although this son is of mixed race, he is also his own son.
"Your Majesty, look, this is our son!" Xu Qing said.
Queen Isabella immediately picked up her son, this is a child born in October, every mother attaches great importance to her child, this is inevitable. Because it is not easy for a mother to give birth, she cherishes every child very much.
"This is our child, our child!" Queen Isabella, who is still a big Lori, said excitedly.
Xu Qing nodded and said, "That's right, this is our child, our child." ”
After having a common bloodline, the relationship between Xu Qing and Queen Isabella was completely integrated, which is also the role of the common bloodline. How a pair of men and women can completely get closer to each other, the common blood is the most important link, and whether there is a common blood has a huge impact on the relationship between a pair of men and women.
"Our children, our children!" Queen Isabella said excitedly.
"Your Majesty, it's better to hand over the child to Minister Xu Qing quickly, it's impossible for you to bring this child back to China!" Countess Eugenie, next to her, said.
Queen Isabella's face was a little bitter, although this child was born to herself, and maybe even the European nobles knew that this child was their own, but Queen Isabella could not bring this child back to China, and could not give him a real legal identity. This child will always be an illegitimate child, and illegitimate children have no status, this is a common European morality. Even if Queen Isabella were the head of a nation, it would not be possible to challenge the accepted morality of the whole of Europe.
So this child can be born, and even everyone in Europe can be regarded as not visible, but this child must not be made public. Once it is brought back publicly and given an identity, the consequences are unimaginable. So this child will never see the light, and may never be able to truly call Queen Isabella "mother".
Not being able to call one's own child "mother" is something that makes any mother very uncomfortable.
"Her Majesty?" Eugenie still hastened to remind.
Queen Isabella is still a little reluctant to give up her children, and she has to leave her as soon as her child is born, which is a cruel fact for a mother. Maybe she will be able to see her again in the future, that is also an unknown, so she is reluctant to hand over the child.
Xu Qing said to Hu Ling: "Hu Ling, I will return to China soon, and it is not convenient for me to return to China with this child. I'll ask you to take care of him, you foster him in our legation in Europe, how about you take care of him for me? “
Hu Ling immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely take good care of him and will not disappoint Lord Xu!" ”
Hu Ling came over and wanted to take the child, but Queen Isabella hugged her tightly, obviously not thinking of giving the child to Hu Ling. Queen Isabella looked at Hu Ling very frightened, obviously unwilling to let this woman take care of the child for herself.
Of course, Queen Isabella understands the relationship between Xu Qing and Hu Ling, and Hu Ling is obviously one of Xu Qing's women and one of her "rivals". Let your "rival in love" take care of your children for yourself, so how hard your children have to suffer! For a monogamous Europe, it is difficult to imagine having another woman with her husband take care of her own children, and her own children may have to suffer.
Xu Qing understood Queen Isabella's worries and lost directly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. In China, when it is inconvenient for the biological mother to take care of her, she can be given to her husband and other women to raise. This is very normal in our China, when the biological mother dies prematurely, or it is inconvenient to take care of her children in person for some other reasons, she will let her husband's other wives and concubines adopt and take care of her, and there will be no discrimination. ”
Hu Ling hurriedly promised: "Your Majesty, I will definitely treat this child as my own, and there will be no mistreatment, don't worry!" ”
Hu Ling feels that there is no problem, it is inconvenient to take care of his biological mother in China, and it is generally adopted by her husband's other wives and concubines as adoptive mothers, and this Hu Ling will not feel inappropriate. So of course Hu Ling doesn't mind helping Xu Qing adopt the child born to Xu Qing and other women, and Hu Ling will not reject it, even in ancient times, this was a symbol of "virtuousness"!
However, Isabella is still a little worried, this game has never been experienced!
"Your Majesty, rest assured, rest assured, this child is also my child, will I let him suffer?" Xu Qing asked.
Queen Isabella then remembered that this child was also Xu Qing's child, and Xu Qing, as a father, couldn't let his child suffer, right?
Queen Isabella handed over the child to Hu Ling, who took the child and immediately promised: "Lord Xu, Your Majesty, I will definitely raise him well, don't worry." From today onwards, he is my child, and I will never treat him badly. ”
Queen Isabella still said, "Will I see him again?" I want to meet in the future, but I don't know what year it is. ”
Xu Qing and several women around him sighed a little, this is also politics, it is normal for mother and son to meet, and no one will say anything. But when politics is involved, the consequences are unimaginable. It is unknown how long it will be before their children are born and will leave their mothers, and even how long they will be able to see each other, or even whether they will be able to see each other in this life. This is also the cruelty of politics, and international politics is even more cruel, and it is necessary to exclude most of the family affection.
Queen Isabella looked at her child and said, "Let Mother look at you again, and we don't know when we will be able to see each other in the future." Can't we see each other for ten years, twenty years, or even a lifetime? ”
Isabella took the initiative to plead: "Miss Hu Ling, I hope you will take good care of him in the future, if you dare to treat him badly, I will definitely not let you go!" ”
Hu Ling was taken aback, but Hu Ling quickly understood that as a mother, who doesn't care about her children? Especially if he is still in charge of taking care of his rival, there must be more concerns, so Hu Ling didn't say anything.
Hu Ling just smiled sincerely at Queen Isabella, it was actually meaningless to say anything at this time, but a sincere smile could resolve the conflict, this Hu Ling followed Xu Qing of course understood.
Queen Isabella saw Hu Ling's sincere smile, but she also trusted Hu Ling. Although Hu Ling didn't make any promises, because it was useless to say anything, after all, the relationship between them was not so simple.
"Your Majesty, I'll go change the child's clothes, I'll take care of it!" Hu Ling took the initiative to say.
Queen Isabella nodded, she knew that this time her child had left her, and she wanted to meet after not knowing how young it was. But there is no way to do this, because her and Xu Qing's identities are different. It is impossible for her to bring this child back to Spain, let alone give her child a legal identity, and Isabella does not have the ability to challenge the entire European moral system, so she can only choose this outcome.
"It's a pity that I, as the king of a country, have too many concerns. How nice it would be if I wasn't the Queen! Queen Isabella thought.
It is precisely because she is the queen that this is so embarrassing, and if she is not the queen, she naturally will not have these problems. If she is just an ordinary woman, she can do without any scruples and take her children home directly. But she is a queen, and the queen's identity certainly brings power, glory, and prominent status, but the same power, glory, and identity also build shackles one after another, completely restricting her freedom and making her unable to do whatever she wants.
Now that her child is about to leave her as soon as she is born, she doesn't know if she can see each other again in this life, which makes Queen Isabella very worried and painful.
Xu Qing saw Queen Isabella's pain and said directly: "Don't worry, sooner or later, I will take our children to Spain, and in Madrid, Spain, I will openly call you a doctor mother." I will tell the whole world that he is our child, our child. I will one day tell the world that he is not an illegitimate child, it is me Xu Qing, the son of the Queen of Spain, and I will take him to Madrid and let him really call you 'Mother'. ”
Queen Isabella was excited in her heart, if what Xu Qing said was true, how good it would be.
"Is it really possible?" Queen Isabella asked.
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, I must be able to!" ”
Xu Qing knew that he had to give Queen Isabella a "hope", as long as there was hope, then there would be the motivation to persevere. After all, Xu Qing will return to China soon, if Queen Isabella is not given hope, then how can she be "guarded like jade" for Xu Qing? Xu Qing doesn't believe that there will be anything truly and absolutely guarded in the West, so Xu Qing can only give Queen Isabella a hope, so that she can really feel hope, and she will always remember Xu Qing and be able to resist other marriages.
"Your Majesty, within fifteen years, I promise you that within fifteen years I will definitely take him, personally with our children, and call you mother in a dignified manner!"
Xu Qing gave a promise with a number, and Queen Isabella immediately said, "Really? Fifteen years, fifteen years. Okay, I'll wait for you for fifteen years, you must promise me that within fifteen years, you must let him have a real identity. ”
Hearing the number "fifteen years" gave Queen Isabella an insistent emperor. Fifteen years later, she's only in her early thirties, which isn't too big, so Queen Isabella has a goal, so she has the motivation to persevere.
