Chapter 1 Birth

"Drink the oxytocic pills!" said one of the midwives in an irritable tone.

"But, he's only been eight months. The woman wept.

Two midwives came up and tied her up and forcibly gave her medicine, and the midwives put a veil in the woman's mouth and began to put the woman in the fetal position.

"The child is too big, and the fetal position is a little off, I'm afraid it's not good!" The midwife inside hurriedly panicked. Helplessly, Lang Zhong took the drape and went in, only to see that the woman's face was pale, half of the bed was stained with blood, and the hand holding the needle bag was trembling.

"Zhang Langzhong, what are you trembling about!" the midwife shouted, and Langzhong came back to his senses and administered the needle to the woman.

Two or three hours later, a loud cry of a baby boy sounded, and the woman fainted in pain, and no one took care of the woman anymore, and the child was packed up, and the group hurried out of the house. Lang Zhong took one last look at the woman and closed the door, full of sins and sins.

The woman lay on the bed, her mouth still covered with a veil, the sweat on her forehead gradually ceased, the bed was covered with blood, her expression was uneven, her face became whiter and paler, and the next night she was secretly buried in the barren mountain with a roll of cool mats.

The rain on summer nights always comes very quickly and violently, and even if the summer rain brings coolness, it is still very dry.

"Quick, move faster. The man in the carriage kept urging.

The dark, damp, narrow alleys were blocked by the carriage, and the rain was still pouring down.

An old woman about fifty years old was holding a newborn child, and a slave next to her was holding an umbrella, and the two of them tightly protected the child, fearing that the child would be exposed to the rain and being discovered, and walked towards the back door of the annex of the Ye Mansion of the Shuai Mansion as fast as possible. Behind is followed by a master and an attendant about forty years old holding an umbrella for the master.

"It's coming, it's coming. The people inside peeked through the crack in the door, and their voices were unstoppable joy.

"Why did you suddenly ask for it today?" the old man patted the rain on his body, and his tone was a little complaining.

"Is it someone who has believed?" the old woman tugged at herself.

"Yes, don't worry, the midwives who delivered the babies came from our house. After a while, they were all sent away. An old woman hurried back.

"Master, this happened suddenly. Dongjing returned to Jibao, saying that Ye Shuai had won the battle, and the class had returned to the court in advance, and his wife had prepared to take the medicine to induce labor in advance. Mother and daughter are safe. The attendant just handed over a clean robe and explained.

The two of them each waited for the old lady and the old man to change their clothes.

"When it is about dawn, the old man and the old lady will come in from the back door to the front door. ”

"Be quicker with your hands and feet, send the baby girl to the Zhuangzi outside, and when she is a little older in a few years, she will be sent back to your hometown as soon as possible, so that she can find someone to raise her." Don't be disadvantaged, after all, we are still the descendants of the Li family. "The old man felt a little indebted.

"Yes, the master has explained it many times, and the little one has always remembered it. ”

The maid was also comforting the old lady, "Don't worry, old lady, everything is fine, Mrs. has been pretending to be unwell these days, today happens to be the first day of the new year, Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye both went to Puhua Temple to pray for Mrs. He said he would come back in three days, but I'm afraid I'll be back early tomorrow morning. Everything was planned. ”

"That's good. The old lady's heart was settled.

As soon as the sky was bright on the second day, the two elders came together as if they were coming from the house, looking anxious about their daughters.

When Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye came back in the middle of the morning, it was already a scene of teasing Sun's warmth. Seeing her daughter-in-law leaning weakly on the bed, Mrs. Ye felt a little guilty in her heart.

"Thank you for your hard work this time. ”

"It took nearly seven years for my daughter-in-law to give birth to a child for the Lin family, it's really ......," Li Ji of the Li family covered his handkerchief and cried silently.

"Good boy, don't cry. I can't see tears in the confinement. Old Lady Lin hurriedly comforted, "Fortunately, Ye Xiu is coming back soon, I thought that this war would take a year or two, but I didn't expect it to be decided in a few months." ”

In the outer hall, Old Lady Lin was very happy when she looked at her grandson, and her laughter penetrated powerfully.

"It's a strong child, hahaha, hug it, don't get tired. ”

"The old man is really eccentric, it is not false to say that it is a relative of the next generation, when I gave birth to Ye Xiu, I just gave birth to only say one sentence, why is it so ugly?" Mrs. Lin teased the old husband towards her daughter-in-law.

Under the comfort of Mrs. Lin and her mother, she stopped crying slightly. Her eyes were completely floating outside, her mind was uncertain, and she was in a trance, Mrs. Lin only thought that she was tired, and hurriedly arranged for the girl's mother-in-law to wait for Li Ji to rest.

The news that the old grandfather finally got a grandson instantly spread throughout the entire Beigu Wangdu, and Zhong Mingding's food family came to give a good gift, and the scholarly family was inevitably in a hurry, and it was like a market for a while.

A few days later, Ye Shuai returned triumphantly, recovering all the lost land in the west in seven months, and the northern court of the king of Beigu was congratulated at the city gate. Ye Shuai wore armor and a sword and followed Queen Beigu into the court, which attracted many people to sigh.

Above the court, Ye Shuai Ye Xiu is extraordinary, and every word is heroic and arrogant.

The king of Beigu looked at the letter of peace presented by the envoy of the western border, and Beigu Tingxuan did not want to fight again, the war of more than ten years, the treasury was not only empty and difficult to support, although eight out of ten victories suppressed most of the people's grievances, but they were also full of complaints.

"What do you say?"

Naturally, there are those who are willing to fight again and destroy the country in one fell swoop, and some people say that consolidating the country's foundation is the first priority.

After saying something, the king of Beigu agreed to sue for peace.

After Ye Xiu returned home, he looked at his son, wrote his name and handed it to Ye's father, and then looked at his wife Li Ji, and went to the barracks to rectify without saying a few words.

Li Ji burst into tears, she didn't see her daughter who was pregnant for more than eight months, and she couldn't be happy when she looked at the child she was holding next to her, and then looked at her husband's cold attitude, how could she feel at ease. There is no other woman who has a plump state after giving birth, and she has directly passed the step of postpartum recovery, and she is thin, her face is sallow, and she is about to fall after a few blows of the north wind.

"The Imperial Doctor, but it doesn't hurt to say. Old Mrs. Ye looked at her daughter-in-law, and she really didn't look good.

"With all due respect, Mrs. Shuai's body is no longer suitable for birth and raising, and worrying too much will always hurt her body. "The doctor said it mildly. Old Madam Ye thought to herself in her heart. Li Ji heard it inside, and suddenly became conscious.

A month later, Xiyang Kingdom presented, treasures and grains, cattle, sheep and horses were naturally no longer a problem, and there was also a stunning woman, Ling Xueji. Also with a letter to the secretary.

In November, the palace soup spring, the warm spring beauty, the emperor's heart, the wonderful person on the side, the harem alone, the previous dynasty instability followed.

In particular, the queen is from Ye Mansion and is also the only daughter of Ye Guogong, the old lady Ye, and Ye Mansion is in power to the government and the opposition, and has repeatedly failed to admonish her. was already dissatisfied, and his daughter's letters told him about his suffering, and he was even more resentful.

During the New Year's Festival, Ling Xueji was canonized as a lady. Three years later, he was promoted to the throne and raised the only child under the knee of the Northern Court Xuan. This undoubtedly declares that the only child under the knee of the king of Beigu recognizes a favorite concubine as his mother, not his wife, Queen Ye. It also added fuel to the flames of those reactionary people, but the king of Beigu ignored them and started a few years of non-court.

Two years later.

"Quick, go find Mama Hu. Ling Xueji endured the pain in her stomach and hurriedly sent the slave to find someone.

"What's wrong with Mother?" Beigong Mingye was still young, only seven years old, watching Ling Xueji caress her waist, biting her pale lips, and sweat like soybeans on her forehead falling straight down.

"Ming Ye is obedient," Ling Xue Ji endured the pain, "Go outside first, if anyone comes, they must say it out loud, you know? ”

"Hmm. Beigong Mingye nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Queen, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth over there, and I'm sending people full of people in the palace to find Mama Hu. ”

"So many midwives don't have to find Mama Hu who accompanies them?"

"Yes. ”

"The rest won't work, will it?"

"I'm afraid yes. The servant smiled.

"Then look for it, send more people to look for it, but don't find it. Queen Ye Si took a sip of tea.

"Yes. ”

From the morning to the middle of the night, Grandma Sun hurriedly arrived at Ling Xueji's palace. During this period, people came to see many times, but they were blocked by Beigong Mingye.

King Beigu rushed back from the barracks outside the city overnight, and Ling Xueji gave birth to the child for a day and a night, and after giving birth, she was bleeding profusely, and she almost didn't even save her life. King Beigu sealed the gate of Ye Si's palace, and all the slaves and maids related to this matter were killed, and the people in the center of the incident lost hundreds of lives for a while, up to the imperial physician guards, down to the slaves and maids who passed the word, all of them did not escape, and the people in the palace were panicked for a while.

Ye Si walked back and forth in the dormitory uneasily, and sat quietly on the chair for a while. He raised his head slightly and wept bitterly, what he has been doing all these years, I am afraid that I am detained in the palace, and I really forget myself. Got up and walked to the dressing table, where no servants served.

Emei is deep and light makeup, and the mouth is like Zhu Dan adding sleeve fragrance.

The double earlobe ring is bright jade, and the king of white and red flowers.

Double phoenix dragon flower crown, red jacket and black skirt with long placket.

The tassel step rattle bell, and the young are all delusional.

Ye Si finished putting on his makeup, knelt upright behind the main entrance, and waited for King Beigu. Ye Si's beauty is a little grandiose.

When it was past ugly, the door creaked open. The moonlight outside came in, and the people who followed the king of Beigu looked at this scene, silently lit the candles in the house, closed the door and quietly retreated.

King Beigu looked at Ye Si, the husband and wife were also in love, how can there be no reason for love, but the little affection in the emperor's heart has been dissipated by the endless court forces, the two looked at each other, and what they left behind was hatred, disappointment, resentment and jealousy, and there was no love for their youth.

"The king comes up," Ye Si changed his title, "I know what it is for, whether it is to be abolished or killed, and I have no complaints." ”

"Don't want to defend anything?"

"The king doesn't want me to have a queen, does he want a woman from the Liang Kingdom to give birth to a son?" Ye Si's voice was questioning, with a cold tone, with pain, "Does the king really not know when I do?"

The throat of the Northern Lonely King rolled, and the shadow shook for a moment.

"I remember that the first king gave me to marry you, and on the day of the wedding, I asked the king, but the king really married me, does the king still remember it?"

The king said, "The days and months of marriage are long." Although the voice was small, it still entered the ears of the Northern Lonely King.

The attendant closed the door, and the door of Queen Ye Si's palace has never been opened.

At noon on the second day, Ling Xueji woke up, and the person who reported the good news said that it was a daughter, and her eyes were hopeless.

The King of Beigu hurriedly came and personally served Ling Xueji to take medicine. Ling Xueji drank the medicine one by one, and the attention in her heart slowly settled.

"Your Majesty, child?"

"The child is very good, there is nothing, you can raise it with peace of mind. ”

"Lone has made it clear that the queen will be on the throne endlessly, and she will be banned in the palace forever. ”

"Isn't it too much?" Ling Xueji pretended to persuade.

"No, it won't. "Obviously, the King of Beigu is taking advantage of this matter to suppress the power of the Ye clan.

"The king should go up and get busy, just let Mama Hu come. ”

Mama Hu came in with the soup woman and put it at Ling Xueji's feet, carefully covering it.

"Madame, close the window over there, and don't let the wind in. ”

"Alright, alright, let's go down. Mama Hu dragged the people in the house out before sitting on the edge of the bed.

"It's taken so much effort, but it's a daughter. What's the use of having a daughter?"

"Madame relax, and my daughter is also good. ”

"Alas. Ling Xueji couldn't help but sigh.

"Mama, did you send the incense over there?"

"Send it over, don't be naughty, madam, everything is in the old mamma I think. ”

"By the way, I forgot to ask Mama what happened the day before yesterday. ”

"Someone was holding it. "Five words.

"Now all our hopes are pinned on an adopted son. Ling Xueji was a little helpless.

"Madame still treats His Royal Highness Ming Ye as well as before, for the future, after all, the grace of nurturing is greater than the sky. ”

"In the future? Mama really has a future?" Mama Hu was shocked.
