Chapter 1: The Coming to the World
In the fourth year of Tianbao, after several years of war, the Zhongling Continent presented a four-legged situation, according to the east, west, south and north divided into the four countries of Dongyu, Xishu, Southern Jin and Northern Li, among which the Southern Jin was the strongest and the Northern Li was the weakest.
Soon the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty drove his own expedition, the Northern Expedition, the Northern Li was defeated, and became a vassal state of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
"King, the Southern Jin Dynasty has sent envoys again." A little eunuch said softly.
Gu Qiang, the king of Beili, stood on the city tower with his hands in his hands and looked at the people in the city, and asked in a low voice, "How much?" ”
"To ...... I want 100 ......" The little eunuch lowered his head and choked up in his voice, "This, this time I don't want a man, I want a woman in the age of cardamom, I say it...... said that it was going to be sent to the Southern Jin Dynasty Teaching Division. ”
Gu Qiang's right hand was clenched tightly, and he punched the red pillar next to him, since the defeat, the Southern Jin Dynasty has continued to enslave the people of Northern Li, driving them like pigs, dogs, cows and horses, and only last month did he take 500 young adults from Northern Li to serve in slavery in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and now he is ...... His eyes were moist and his eyes were filled with anger.
The little eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Wang, you are angry, you must take care of your body, seeing that Mrs. is about to give birth in the next few days, don't be angry." ”
Gu Qiang is over sixty years old, he has fought on the battlefield all his life, established Beili with his own hands, and married Zhuang Ji, the first beauty in Beili three years ago, and this soon-to-be-born child is the first, perhaps the only child he and Mrs. Zhuang Ji.
Thinking of Zhuang Ji, Gu Qiang's gaze gradually softened, "Go see Madame." ”
The little eunuch bowed his head and followed behind Gu Qiang, all the way to Mrs. Zhuang Ji's bedroom, and when he saw Gu Qiang coming, he hurriedly asked the maid to help him, got up from the soft couch in the hall with difficulty, and walked over with a big belly and staggering.
"Zhuang Ji, I've seen the king." Just as she was about to bend her knees, Gu Qiang hurriedly helped her up with both hands.
"Madame's body is inconvenient, so the ceremony will be waived." Gu Qiang said softly.
Zhuang Ji saw at a glance that Gu Qiang's eyes were slightly red, his face was tired, and he asked weakly: "What is the difficulty of the king?" He stepped forward leisurely and leaned on Gu Qiang's arms, "Would you like to listen to the concubine?" ”
Gu Qiang gently hugged her with both hands, "Last month, the Southern Jin Dynasty took away 500 strong men from my Northern Li, and today I sent an envoy to take away the woman who was 100 years old in my Northern Li and send it to the Southern Jin Dynasty Teaching Division." ”
"What?" Mrs. Zhuang Ji was startled, she didn't feel a sharp pain in her stomach, and beads of sweat immediately oozed from her forehead......
The maid ran to the door and shouted, "Someone! Go and get the doctor and the wife! Fast! Madame is going to give birth! ”
Gu Qiang picked up Zhuang Ji, took three steps and made two steps, and put her on the soft couch, and the maid, the stable woman, and the female medical officer rushed in, busy but not chaotic.
"King! Wait outside the house, we'll leave it to you! The female medical officer pushed Gu Qiang out and pulled the door of the dormitory with a "snap".
Gu Qiang was anxiously pacing back and forth outside the door, only to hear Zhuang Ji's heart-rending shouts in the house, every sound was like a sharp blade cutting at his heart.
Suddenly, the whole sky turned red, as if it were on fire, and a long "ahhh......hh
"Wow!" The door of the dormitory opened, and everyone in the house knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Congratulations to the king, happy to the son!" ”
The Son? God forbid! Endless Beili! Gu Qiang looked up at the fire-like sky, looked up to the sky and roared: "Auspicious rain from the sky!" Bless me Beili! ”
Gu Qiang hurriedly walked inside, took the child in Mama's arms, and carefully carried it to the couch, "Look, this is our son, look at him, how beautiful he is." ”
Zhuang Ji's face was pale, his whole body was weak and weak, he looked at Gu Qiang and the child in his arms, and smiled happily, "Please give the king a name." ”
"North City! Gu Beicheng! Gu Qiang looked at the son in his arms and smiled faintly, "He came to save my Beili!" Then he raised his head and his face sank, "Pass the order, today I have a princess in Beili, and unfortunately she died!" Mourn now! ”
On the same day, in the Huining Palace of the Southern Jin Dynasty, there was also a baby who was about to die.
At this moment, the queen led the crown prince and the concubines, as well as the ministers in charge of the history and ceremonies, in the courtyard outside the Huining Palace, waiting.
The palace people went in and out, and the maidservants kept carrying the blood basin from the inside, and Nan Xiao, the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty, grabbed a maid who had just come out, and asked sharply: "How is Concubine Hui?" What's going on inside? ”
The maid shook her head in panic, looked frightened, and replied crying, "Slave maid...... The slave didn't know either, but she saw Concubine Hui's non-stop bleeding......"
Nan Xiao pushed her away, and just as she was about to go in, she was stopped by several grandmothers and eunuchs, "Your Majesty! You can't go in, this is the land of blood, it's unlucky! ”
"Get out of the way! Get out of here! Nan Xiao wanted to push the group away, but he was still blocked by death.
Suddenly, the house sounded the cries of grief: "Niangniang...... The concubine ......"
A midwife's stable woman came out of it tremblingly, "plopped" and fell to the ground, and said tremblingly: "Concubine Hui, she ...... She's stinged! ”
The queen raised her eyes, glanced faintly at the door, and slowly lowered her eyes.
Nan Xiao staggered back, the little eunuch hurriedly held on, and he asked in a low voice, "That...... What about the kids? ”
"Child, child saved! It's a little prince! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Wen Po said urgently.
I saw a grandmother walking out of the house with a child in her arms.
"Why didn't I hear the cry?" Nan Xiao felt strange.
Mama bowed, "Back to Your Majesty, these three princes have been smiling since they came out of their mother's womb and have never cried." ”
Nan Xiao hurriedly brought the child over, took a closer look, and seemed to be really smiling, "Bury Concubine Hui according to the etiquette system." After speaking, he hugged the child and turned to face the people in the courtyard, "This is my third prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty." ”
Everyone knelt down, "The third prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose ......"
"Please give the name of the third prince!" The ceremonial officer clasped his head.
Nan Xiao thought about it, and the kid came with a smile, but he didn't say anything, "Let's call it Jinyan." Nan Jinyan ......"
"Congratulations to the Emperor! Congratulations to the Emperor ......"
Nan Xiao said calmly: "Spread the message! Concubine Hui entered the imperial mausoleum according to the system, and all the people who were responsible for delivering her babies today were martyred! ”
Sima General Lin Song rushed in with a group of soldiers in armor, surrounded the dormitory, and scolded: "Take all the people in the house away......"
"Your Majesty! The emperor spares his life! …… Spare your life......" the maids cried.
Nan Xiao glanced at the people in the courtyard, "Let's all be flat." He walked up to the queen with the child in his arms, handed the child to her, and glanced at her meaningfully, "In the future, Jinyan will be brought back to the palace by you to raise, the queen is the master of the harem, and she must set an example, don't let me down." ”
The queen curts, her chin bowed, "Yes!" The concubines obeyed. ”
"Father, is this my younger brother?" The prince looked at Nan Xiao with a childish expression.
Nan Xiao glanced at the prince, "You are the prince, you are more than six years old, and now you have a younger brother, you should be more diligent in the future, don't be greedy to spend your time in vain!" ”
The queen dragged the prince, and the prince was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and kowtowed: "The son knows his mistakes, remember the teachings of his father!" ”
"I hope you really remember!" Nan Xiao sighed.
The following year, Tanabata.
"Report ......!" With the sound of hurried footsteps, the sound came from far and near, and a small soldier rushed into Lin Song's camp tent and knelt on one knee, "Report to the general!" There was news from the house that Mrs. was about to give birth! ”
"What?" Lin Song looked excited, held the soldier's shoulders with both hands, and shook it, "Is this true?" ”
"Yes! Absolutely true! ”
The tent was boiling, and the commanders congratulated him! Lin Song didn't have time to agree, rushed out of the camp, turned over on his horse, and rushed to the Lin Mansion with a "driving" horse, and the escort team followed closely behind, all silver armor and white horses, and the momentum was like a rainbow!
"Jing'er! Jing'er! Lin Song held Fang Tian's painting halberd, ran into the house, and trotted all the way towards the backyard, "Jing'er, I'm back!" ”
When the housekeeper Uncle Qi saw him, he hurriedly ran over, "General, don't worry!" Madame, all is well! Just be patient. ”
Lin Song held Fang Tian's halberd tightly and threw it to the ground, and the road surface was instantly poked out by him, and the guards immediately followed, neatly arranged in the courtyard in front of Miaojing's bedroom.
After a while, there were bursts of intermittent baby cries floating in the house, and Lin Song felt that the sound was as pleasant as heavenly fairy music!
A mother-in-law walked out slowly with the child in her arms and whispered: "Congratulations to the general, you are a daughter!" ”
"How's Jing'er?" Lin Song asked anxiously, then reached out to hug the child, and retracted it again, "Forget it, I don't dare to hug it, I'm a rough person, how can I get hurt ......?"
"General rest assured, Mrs. has superb medical skills, and her body and bones are well recuperated on weekdays, but she is tired and has fallen asleep at this time." The mother-in-law replied softly.
Lin Song looked at the child in her mother-in-law's arms with a doting look on her face, and asked, "Did Jing'er name her?" ”
"Not yet, Madame will explain when she gives birth, and the name will be decided when the general comes back." The mother-in-law patted the child gently.
"Hmm...... Her voice is so good, her wife's name is Miaojing, it's better to ...... She's called Miao Yin! Lin Song was very satisfied with the name he had chosen.
"Lin Miaoyin......" the mother-in-law paused, "What a name!" ”
