Chapter 57: The Storm
In the palace, almost every pregnant palace concubine wants their child to be born at a good time.
For these people, a good time determines everything, so there are even people who spend a lot of money to buy Tongqin Tianjian to calculate a good time, and then look at this day to produce, of course, it is inevitable to use some drugs, which is not uncommon in the palace, it can only be regarded as a superstition.
For Shu Wan, she naturally didn't believe in this.
She doesn't believe that the child born on a good day will definitely get ahead and become the dragon and phoenix among people, if this is the case, everyone will simply get together to have children, and then all the children will grow up to become pillars.
But she doesn't believe in this kind of thing, there are always people who believe it, such as Xiao Guo and Rou Concubine, who are about to give birth, and they are trying their best to give birth in May.
As for why it was produced in May? Of course, because May is Wanshou Day, that is, Kangxi's birthday month, if it can really be the same birthday as today's saint, it will really be green smoke on the ancestral tomb.
Therefore, May is an excellent month, and Kangxi's birthday on May 4 is a day that can make people blush.
Xiao Guo's was about to give birth, and was poisoned, and he was very uncomfortable, on April 31, he couldn't wait for his stomach to hurt, and the palace maid on the side wanted to hurry up to ask the midwife and the imperial doctor, but was pulled by Xiao Guo's hand, "Don't go, the little brother of this little master must be born in May." ”
"But little master, it's not a way for you to keep delaying like this."
The little palace maid was in a hurry, if the noble little master really had a good one, in the end, it was not the burden of them who were slaves, hey, how could she have such a little master
Xiao Guo tugged on the palace maid's sleeve, his hands were clenched white, and the green tendons on his face burst out, it can be seen that Xiao Guo is suffering greatly now, but this is it, Xiao Guo still refuses to let go.
At this time, Qing Ruo, the personal palace maid beside Xiao Guo's side, came over and patted the little palace maid on the shoulder, "You all go down first, just keep me here, and when the little master survives, I will immediately send someone to invite the imperial doctor and the midwife." ”
Although the little palace maid was still a little uneasy, she glanced at Xiao Guo, who was crying on the bed, suspiciously, and could only go down in a huff.
Qingruo walked to Xiao Guo's bed and helped Xiao Guo up, "Little master, the slave brought you a bowl of porridge, you can eat some first to save your strength." ”
"Okay."
Xiao Guo endured severe pain under Qingruo's service, eating porridge one by one, waiting for the arrival of May.
-------------------------------------
Early in the morning of May 1, Shu Wan had just gotten up, and before she had time to get dressed, Zhiqiu came in and reported, "Little master, the one in Yikun Palace was born, and she is a little princess." ”
Shu Wan hummed lightly, Xiao Guo's baby is a princess as she expected, and it is really not easy for Xiao Guo's toss to be born until May.
"Are the congratulatory gifts for Guo Guiren ready?"
"Hui Niangniang, everything is ready."
"Then you will send the congratulatory gift of the palace later, and the palace is inconvenient because of its weight, so you won't go there in person."
"Yes, slave and maid."
Shu Wan yawned and chuckled disdainfully, Xiao Guo's swore that she was a little brother in her stomach, but now she has given birth to a little princess with all her efforts, I don't know how Xiao Guo's reaction is now, with Xiao Guo's temperament, Yikun Palace must not be demolished?
Sure enough, there was already a commotion on the side of Yikun Palace.
After Xiao Guo woke up, he found that he had given birth to a little princess, and he didn't believe it, and shouted frantically to the people around him, "You dead slaves, where did you hide the little brother of this little master!" ”
Qingruo hurriedly stepped forward to reassure, "Little master, you forgot, you gave birth to a cute little princess in ice and snow today." ”
"Bastard!"
Xiao Guo slapped Qing Ruo directly in the face, "This little master is obviously the little brother, how can he be the little princess?" You say, where is the little brother? ”
Qingruo, who was slapped for no reason, also held on so that the tears in his eyes did not flow down, and he covered his injured left face and said a little aggrieved, "The little master did give birth to a little princess, how dare the slave and maid lie about this." ”
"Ahhhh Get out of here, y'all! Get lost!!! ”
Xiao Guo obviously didn't want to accept this fact, and the body that had just given birth didn't know where it came from with such great strength, so he picked up the things around him and drove out the people who were waiting in the house.
The minions who had been waiting in the house all escaped from the house with their heads in their hands.
There was a burst of smashing sounds in the room, and it was terrifying to listen to.
"Presumptuous! Since you have just given birth, you should cultivate with peace of mind, what is the difference between this and the shrew in the market now? ”
A majestic and angry voice came from far and near, and everyone knelt down and kowtowed.
"Slaves/slaves see the emperor, the emperor is auspicious."
Kangxi strode in angrily, this morning he heard the news that Xiao Guo's had given birth, and originally wanted to comfort and care for a few words, but he didn't expect to see this scene.
Xiao Guo was even more stunned when he heard Kangxi's voice, and he didn't know where to put the pillow in his hand.
Seeing Kangxi, Xiao Guo hugged Kangxi's thigh and cried as soon as he lifted the quilt and came up, "Your Majesty, you must be the master of the concubine, it is this slave who replaced the little brother of the concubine with a little princess!" ”
Kangxi looked at Xiao Guo, who was crying at his feet, and his face was full of helplessness, and Xiao Guo didn't want to think about it, how could this stealing of dragons and phoenixes happen in the palace?
Liang Jiugong caught a glimpse of the impatient expression on Kangxi's face, and hurriedly motioned to the little palace maid on the side to step forward and help Xiao Guo up.
"Your Majesty, my little brother! Ask the emperor to save my little brother! ”
Xiao Guo cried heartbreakingly, as if someone had really stolen her little brother.
The body that had just given birth was still extremely weak, and at this time, the white obscene pants worn by Xiao Guo faintly revealed some bloodstains, Kangxi saw this, so he could only quickly order someone to ask for a doctor.
At this moment, Yi Concubine, who had been shrinking her head to be a quail, also appeared at the right time to comfort Kangxi, and Yi Concubine's soft voice really made Kangxi feel a lot better.
Who knew that Xiao Guo suddenly became hysterical as soon as he saw it, pushed away the imperial doctor who was diagnosing the pulse, and ran to Kangxi barefoot,
"Your Majesty, you must be the master of your concubine!"
Kangxi had already lost his patience, pinched his brows, and said in an unhappy tone: "What do you want me to do for you?" ”
Xiao Guo suddenly jumped up and pointed at the tip of Yi Concubine's nose, "Your Majesty, it was Yi Concubine who stole my little brother, it must be Yi Concubine who stole my little brother because of jealousy!" ”
When Concubine Yi heard this, she directly shouted that she was wronged, she didn't care what Xiao Guo gave birth to, she touched her lower abdomen, so that she wouldn't be jealous of Xiao Guo.
The two women did not give in to each other, Kangxi was really dizzy by the cries of these two women.
"That's it!"
Kangxi shouted, "It's so noisy, what is it like, Guo Guiren gave birth to the fifth daughter of the emperor, and he should be rewarded, and everything during the period..." ”
"But the emperor..."
After hearing this decision, Xiao Guo still wanted to say something, but Kangxi didn't give her this opportunity, seeing that Xiao Guo still looked stubborn, Kangxi didn't want to care anymore, and ordered the minions to take care of it carefully and then left, regardless of Xiao Guo's desperate shouting behind him.
Yi Concubine just glanced at Xiao Guo's lightly, and gave a few perfunctory words to the minions below, and then left with someone.
The more Kangxi thought about it along the way, the more angry he became, in fact, he originally thought that Xiao Guo had been wronged this time, and he also gave birth to a little princess, so it was better to promote Xiao Guo to a concubine.
Liang Jiugong, who knew all this, also sighed secretly in his heart, Guo Guiren's great future was lost by himself.
Zhiqiu, who was sent by Shu Wan to send congratulatory gifts, naturally saw this good scene, and immediately demonstrated it to Shu Wan and the others after returning to the Youyou Pavilion.
"Really? Did Xiao Guo really say that at that time? ”
Shu Wan took a handkerchief to wipe away the tears squeezed out of the corners of her eyes because she laughed too much, this little Guo was too whimsical, and he could still suspect that someone dared to do something like stealing a dragon and a phoenix.
This is in the palace, there are people staring at every grass and tree, not to mention a noble little brother or a little princess, I am afraid that Xiao Guo thinks that Xiao Brother wants to be confused, so he said such foolish words.
Zhiqiu nodded with a smile, "No, at that time, Guo Guiren's spicy slave and maid only learned five points, and Niangniang would definitely be surprised if she saw it with her own eyes." ”
Shu Wan's eyebrows are crooked, it seems that Xiao Guo's family really takes this palace seriously Guo Luoluo Mansion, and dares to act willfully and recklessly in the palace without regard to etiquette, do you really think that Kangxi will get used to her unconditionally?
This is good, the guilt that Kangxi had for Xiao Guo because of the poisoning may be consumed all of a sudden, plus this time Xiao Guo only gave birth to a little princess, although the little princess is also extremely noble, but in the end it is still not as good as Xiao Brother, I am afraid that the Guo Luoluo family, who have always supported Xiao Guo, will also reconsider whether to give up Xiao Guo and support Yi Concubine.
When it came to Yi Concubine, Shu Wan suddenly remembered another thing, Yi Concubine didn't seem to have many activities in the palace recently.
At the beginning, Yi Concubine was willing to support Xiao Guo's just to be able to borrow Xiao Guo's belly to give birth to a little brother for her, and now Xiao Guo has given birth to a little princess, Yi Concubine is very calm over there, I don't know what Yi Concubine is planning?
Shu Wan twisted a sour plum and put it in her mouth.
In fact, Yi Concubine was injured because of the Tao of the Yuan Hou and couldn't give birth, and now she has been recuperating for several years, and her body should have recovered long ago, in history, Yi Concubine also gave birth to Yinqi in December of the eighteenth year, and now Yi Concubine should be pregnant now.
However, Shu Wan didn't want to attack Yi Concubine, she was innocent, not to mention that although Yi Concubine was a little arrogant before, she only mocked her a few words at most, but there was no actual action.
She can still tell the difference between this, since Yi Concubine has not attacked her, then she will not take the initiative to take action.
It's just that in the future, the monitoring of Yikun Palace must continue to be strengthened, and there must be no mistakes.
Taking advantage of the matter of Yi Concubine, Shu Wan simply asked Xiaodouzi to go down to inquire about how many pregnant palace concubines were still hidden in this palace, and she had to prepare early.
