The trend of the world, divided for a long time, will be divided for a long time, the war and chaos of the world is divided into five countries, Chu, Nan, Wu, Wei, Yan, according to the history of the five countries of the year of the title is only more than 300 years ago, it is really ashamed, more than 300 years, each country has experienced only a handful of dynasties.

The winter moon of red plum blossoms should be a happy time for the family, but it is also invincible to the smoke of gunpowder, the beacon fire is even smoke, the bitter cold winter, the people of the war-torn five countries are in dire straits, and the joy of the year is gradually moving away with the sword and sword shadow and the sorrow of triumph, waiting for the drift.

Chu State, the country with the strongest strength and the most state-owned assets among the five countries, the brave and good fighting Zhenghu Iron Cavalry Elite 80,000, the iron halberd wings of the death as home to support the lion 30,000, the prince of Chu Gongsun Yuting is the well-known king of heavy soldiers, but also on horseback to lay down half of the country, Gongsun Yuting is not only good at fighting the enemy, its first wife, the king of Chu, was also born in a family of military generals.

In the territory of Chu State, in the hunting paddock of the Wang family, the fast horses are fast, and the people and horses of each color are chasing the wild deer released by the king, flying arrows, shuttling between the woods, and the fast arrows in the paddock have no eyes, the king of Chu has spoken, and the person who hunts this thing gets the first prize, not only as the first master of riding and archery in Chu State, but also has the opportunity to make a request to the king, so everyone will be full of energy, and it is bound to win.

The leader is the military generals and the horse archery masters, followed by the king of Chu and several princes, although the king of Chu fell behind his courtiers, but he smiled proudly, that is, to encourage the princes behind him to catch up, or to let everyone without a trace.

Everyone was in high spirits, and the deer would be in their hands, but from a distance there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, which was very different from the regular sound of horses' hooves in the paddock.

"Why are you in such a hurry? But something happened in the palace? ”

Several soldiers looked at the waist cards of the people who came, and only then did they dare to let them in.

"Big brother Law...... Go to ...... Report to the king, the queen is about to give birth, please return to the palace quickly"

The person who came was a harem male official, and the sharp voice was mentioned in the mouth of the noise, Xu was in a hurry, and he was still out of breath when he spoke, but his eyes were looking for the figure of the king in the paddock.

The ......soldiers in the paddock did not dare to slack off, and rode their horses to gallop away with the large number of men and horses.

"Newspaper... The king, there is a message from the palace, the queen is about to give birth, please return to the official as soon as possible."

The soldiers on duty in the enclosure did not dare to leak a word and spread the news from the palace to the king of Chu.

The soldiers who arrived in a hurry frightened the wild deer that was already tired in front of them, and when the military generals of the dynasty just aimed at it, the arrow had already been shot, but it only injured its hind legs.

"This king is going to add Xiaojiu, Zhong Aiqing guessed that it would be a prince or a princess?"

The king of Chu, who was not confused, was refreshed, took the bow and crossbow and handed it to others, turned over from the horse, removed the heavy armor on his body, and looked at everyone with a kind look, waiting for them to answer.

"King, I don't dare to speculate about the queen's mother's holy womb, but according to the old minister, if it is a prince, it is the sixth prince, if it is a princess, it will be ranked as the ninth child, whether it is a prince or a princess, it is the supreme blessing of my king."

Everyone didn't dare to guess the heirs of the Huang family alone, so they discussed for a while before they dared to choose one person to reply to the words of the king of Chu.

The King of Chu suddenly laughed when he heard this, turned around and shook his head, he didn't think so, the child had not been born yet, how could he know that it would be the blessing of the Chu State?

"That's it, don't guess, Zhong Aiqing will accompany this king back to the palace to find out, right? Ordered someone to bandage and release the wounded wild deer, and it is not appropriate to kill on the side of the happy event."

After the king of Chu explained, he turned around and got into the carriage that had been waiting for a long time, and the people behind him did not dare to slack off, and the horses followed closely behind the carriage, the bows and crossbows on their backs were not unloaded, and the mighty team of men and horses left the hunting ground together.

The military general who had almost succeeded the wild deer glanced back before leaving, and his faint gaze swept over the soldier who had just reported the news, and he saw that the soldier was trembling with fright, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.

The cold sun shines on the road back to the palace from Wujian Mountain, the cold wind is howling, there are few pedestrians on the road, the horse prepared by the carriage of the king of Chu is a rare golden-hoof horse in the palace, the journey is naturally fast, and the brigade behind the carriage is only a hundred meters behind, fortunately, everyone has a good eye for picking horses today, and it is easier to do so.

Nearly dusk, the king of Chu arrived at the palace with everyone, after entering the palace and passing the palace, the carriage finally stopped, the king of Chu hurried to the harem without any instructions, because the harem is the dormitory of the female dependents, there is no special permission, and the men next to him are grounded, so the group of people who came back all the way had to stop.

As soon as the king of Chu entered the door of Zhilan Palace, he saw that the palace ladies were busy running in and out, and the queen was sleeping outside the palace, standing in a circle of the imperial female doctor and Wen Po, next to the concubines who came to care, everyone saw the king of Chu coming in, and they were all anxious to kneel down and salute, but they were stopped by him early with a wave of their hands.

"Excuse me, how is the queen doing?"

The king of Chu, who had just come back from outside the palace, had not changed his anger, so he anxiously asked the female doctors, and the concubines standing on the side still had pleasant faces, but they didn't look at them since the king of Chu came in, and their faces were inevitably not good-looking, in fact, who doesn't know what these dozens of titled mothers are thinking? Although the queen's birth was a happy event and everyone celebrated, many of these people dressed up and deliberately wanted to attract the king's attention.

"Back to the king, although the queen is the second child, the situation is not very optimistic, but the ministers have found a way, and they have changed colleagues a few times, and the situation has been basically stable, please rest assured."

An elderly female doctor hurriedly stepped forward to explain the situation, sweating profusely, presumably just came out of it, the king of Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then remembered that he was still wearing a hunting robe, and elegantly took off the hunting robe on his body, and the sharp-eyed housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to put on a winter velvet cloak for him, and the concubines behind him bowed their heads slightly in frustration.

"My sister's body has always been very good, everything will go well, the king has just come back from outside the palace, he must be tired, besides, in the cold winter and the moon, it is cold outside, it is better to go to the side hall to rest first"

The concubines were led by the concubines of the Chu State, only to see that she was dressed in light pink, slightly light powder, with an embroidered winter velvet cloak, which was particularly eye-catching among the many flowery concubines, she stepped forward and saluted slightly, smiled lightly, and in a faint but concerned tone, the King of Chu smiled and nodded.

"It's really embarrassing for you to accompany this king to suffer from the cold outside, so let's go in and wait!"

The king of Chu finally looked at the concubines, and a group of beauties who couldn't help the wind stood up elegantly in the cold wind.

"The concubine thanked the king for his care"

The concubines who were shivering in the cold wind were waiting for the King of Chu to care, no, there was concern, but I didn't know who it was.

Approved by the king, everyone generously followed him to the side hall to continue waiting, the queen was walking outside the palace did not stop, bringing hot water to the charcoal basin, it is said that it is necessary to ensure that the house has been warm, this mother can not be windy, in addition to the doors and windows to watch, but also to keep sending hot water in, this time there are a lot of errands of the ring.

Time gradually passed, the sky was dark, the lanterns in the palace were also lit, the brightest place in the palace tonight must be the queen's Zhilan Palace, almost the entire palace can use the lanterns are hung here, layer after layer of big lanterns will illuminate the Zhilan Hall as if it were day.

The king of Chu, who was waiting in the side hall, did not eat the tea since he came back, and after several persuasions, he symbolically ate some dim sum, while others did not even dare to touch the dim sum, and dozens of beauties accompanied him to be hungry, but no one was unhappy.

After nightfall, it was even cooler outside, and I don't know when the sky began to drift snowflakes, until the palace ladies who entered and exited the Zhilan Hall were almost white, although everyone said that they were resting in the side hall, the king of Chu did not rest for a moment, walking back and forth, and he didn't know what to do in the dormitory across a few inner rooms.

At this moment, a few lightning flashes flashed in the sky that was originally floating with snowflakes, like a heavenly axe breaking through the sky, and then the thunder that resounded through the clouds frightened everyone into a cold sweat, and the wind was raging, whistling, rolling up the cold wind and snow.

The wind was too strong, the lanterns outside the hall shook violently, the Duanshui palace ladies were caught off guard, the water basin fell, the hot water was sprinkled all over the ground, and the snow that had just fallen melted in an instant, and the frightened palace ladies were busy cleaning up, and a few thunderbolts flashed in the sky.

After the storm and lightning, it happened that a small palace hurried over to the side of the dormitory, only to see that the little palace was still young, but also smart, and learned that the king was waiting in the side hall for the hard work, so he gave a congratulatory gift.

"Congratulations to the king, happy princess"

Xiao Gong'e said excitedly while saluting.

"Congratulations to the king, happy princess"

Everyone in the side hall saluted and congratulated, and the palace ladies outside the hall happened to leave their work and made a big salute.

"It's a princess, this king has another princess, hahaha... Good! Very good"

The king of Chu was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he hurried to the dormitory of Zhilan Hall and left a group of concubines with their own thoughts.

The concubines and concubines in the palace with the support of the ladies, lively out of the Zhilan Palace, everyone out of the door of the Zhilan Palace and then their own salutes and left, originally, everyone's purpose is just to try a luck, now it seems, I don't know whether it is the luck of the queen, or the charm of the newborn nine princesses.
