Chapter 63: Premature Birth

"How does this soup taste bitter today?"

Li Shenlan felt that the taste was wrong as soon as she took a sip, and she couldn't help but vomit out when she was nauseous before.

"When I made it today, I found that the honey was gone, and when I went to the imperial dining room to get it, it was said that it was out of stock, so the old slave took the sugar instead. The taste of white sugar is not as sweet as honey, and it does not cover the bitter taste of amaranth when you think about it. ”

Li Shenlan also knows that there is this flavor in this medicinal soup, and the taste of amaranth is not delicious. With a lot of Chinese medicine in it, it is easy to be bitter and astringent.

In order for Li Shenlan to drink the medicine well, Mama Cao put a large spoonful of honey in it every time she boiled it to cover up the bitter taste.

"Hey, it tastes terrible."

Li Shenlan is not squeamish, but her appetite is not good during pregnancy, but this time she was angry with Yin Chen, and she looked at the bowl of soup and got angry.

Seeing this, Mama Cao's eyes darkened invisibly, and then she stepped forward and coaxed with a smile:

"It's bitter, it's hard, even if it's not for herself, it's for the child in the belly. Seeing that it was about to give birth, it would only be a month to count and drink more with my fingers. ”

Li Shenlan looked at the bowl of soup and sighed helplessly, thinking of the child she was about to be born, she could only pinch her nose and drink it.

It's better to say that it's a bad day, but since the day of the fight, Li Shenlan locked herself in the palace again and never went out again. Counting the past few months in the palace, I have knitted three pairs of socks and four tiger hats for the child.

"There's no fuss in the palace when He An goes back, it's really boring."

Concubine Xiang said while eating lotus root soup, since she returned to the temple with An, she either ran to the queen or went to Li Shenlan. Anyway, no matter where you go, the whining in your mouth is not at all unstoppable.

"It's not that I'm talking about you, He'an has been gone for less than five days, and you yourself have calculated how many bowls of soup you have come to me."

Hearing this, Concubine Xiang's eyes glanced at her, and her face was full of unhappiness.

"How can I talk, I'm not bored. Besides, it's lotus root flour that you drink, and it's not your placental soup, so it's your pick. ”

Li Shenlan was also helpless, but she didn't feel bored when she said it. After all, with someone with you, life goes by much faster than staying alone.

"You say, are you born a boy or a girl?"

"I won't talk about it, boys and girls are good, they are all good boys of mine."

Concubine Xiang felt bored, thinking that she had made a bet with the queen at the beginning, and the queen bet on her daughter and her son, which was a deal of ten taels of silver.

"It's been strangely tight lately, obviously that Wang Jieyu used to be the best at finding fault with you, but it's very stable this time."

Speaking of this, Li Shenlan remembered that when she asked Bang Chun to investigate what Shen had done to her, Bang Chun said that Wang Jun'er was probably not clean. It's just that there has been no evidence, and nothing has been done in the past few months except for provoking himself that day.

Seeing that Li Shenlan didn't squeak there, Concubine Xiang continued to talk to herself.

"At the beginning, we were still worried about whether Mama Cao would be bought, but little by little, there was no clue.

Eh, do you think Wang Jun'er will change his ways? ”

Concubine Xiang said and scooped a big spoonful of soup into her mouth, and she didn't hear Li Shenlan's reply for a long time, and was about to look up and taunt her a few words, but saw that she was frowning and covering her stomach.

"Shen Lan! Shen Lan! What's wrong with the stomach? Qin Yin, go and pass on the doctor! ”

Li Shenlan saw Concubine Xiang approaching her and grabbed her hand. I wanted to tell her that I felt the child shaking badly, but I couldn't say anything when the words came to my mouth.

Concubine Xiang moved Li Shenlan to the bed with Zhang Luo and Shuqiu, but her hand was wet.

It's the amniotic water that breaks!

"Mama Cao! Mama Cao! Fast! Hurry up and get ready! Lan Zhaoyi is about to give birth! ”

When the queen received the news, she was sitting in the house embroidering a belly pocket for the child, because she didn't know whether it was a man or a woman, so she used red, and both men and women wore festive clothes.

Knowing that Li Shenlan was about to give birth, the queen was stunned and almost pricked herself with a needle.

"How could you be born at this time, isn't there more than 20 days left?"

"The slave and maid don't know, Concubine Xiang was still there at the time, and the amniotic fluid was broken and was now alive."

The queen has experience in giving birth, and she also knows that it will hurt for a while before giving birth, but how can the amniotic water break when she sits well.

"What about the emperor? Has anyone informed the emperor? ”

"I've been informed, and I guess I'm rushing there now."

"Okay, let's get over too. Xiyan, if you go to the Tai Hospital, no matter how good or bad the doctor is, you will be called to Yongfu Palace! ”

Before the sunset could respond, the queen had already raised her feet and ran without a trace.

Li Shenlan was dying of pain in bed at this time, like a stick constantly beating her stomach.

"Niangniang, keep insisting! Hold on! ”

Harvest Qiu is just a little girl who doesn't understand these things about giving birth, and Mama Cao said that she would wait for Li Shenlan to hurt a little more before the child could be born. So at this time, Shuqiu could only stay by Li Shenlan's bedside and cheer her on.

Li Shenlan was almost unconscious from pain, so she watched Shuqiu kneeling beside the bed, but she couldn't hear what she was shouting.

My eyes were covered with sweat from pain, and I gradually seemed to be unable to see even the top of the bed curtain. When people are at their most vulnerable, they only want to be accompanied by a familiar person.

"Hunan ...... Go and find my sister...... Yes! Go find ......."

In a word, I was tossed and said intermittently for a long time. Fortunately, Harvest Autumn is a clever one, and he understands the meaning and hurriedly goes out to call Concubine Xiang.

Concubine Xiang once accompanied the queen to give birth, so she naturally knew Li Shenlan's difficulty. After receiving the letter, he hurried in, and when he saw Li Shenlan's corpse, he was so anxious that he almost cried.

"Shen Lan, don't be afraid of me here. Mama said that she had to feed you something to have the strength, and I asked people to boil porridge and bring it to you when it was cooler. ”

Not to mention that she is hungry, Li Shenlan doesn't feel anything other than pain now. called Concubine Xiang, just to tell her one thing. It is said that giving birth to a child is a life of nine deaths, Li Shenlan is afraid of an accident, and Yin Chen chooses to give up the child when something happens.

Children are all for mothers.

"Guaranteed...... Keep your child ......"

Li Shenlan finished instructing with a humble breath, only to feel that all the strength on her body was taken away from her. For a moment, she seemed to be relaxed like never before, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier.

I really want to go to sleep like this......

Seeing that Li Shenlan fainted, Concubine Xiang rushed to Mama Cao without caring about the fire in other nests, she didn't care if she couldn't open her fingers under anything, she just wanted Li Shenlan to be well. If the child will affect Li Shenlan's life, she will never have this child.

"Mother, the time hasn't come yet......"

"If you can't get anything, Shen Lan will faint, and it's hard to guarantee that she won't die of pain, and! You went in and took a look from the beginning to the end, how do you know if the hour has come! What kind of heart do you have! ”

Concubine Xiang didn't care about anything else, she saw that Mama Cao didn't go in for a while, and she was angry and scolded in front of the Queen Mother.

"Queen, the concubine in the palace has not given birth to you in the end, go in and see what happened to Lan Zhaoyi."

The Queen Mother spoke, and the Queen went in with her skirt. When he came out again, his face was extremely ugly.

"Mama Cao, you said that you can give birth when you open ten fingers, and the imperial doctor is now prick a needle in it to wake up, and the palace is almost over, why do you still say that the time is not enough."

Mama Cao didn't expect the queen to go back and see, after all, the concubine gave birth to the imperial doctor and couldn't look at the bottom, except for the midwife, no one went to see it.

Wang Jun'er gave her an order for a while, but she probably didn't expect the queen to know this.

Concubine Xiang was so angry when she heard it, Li Shenlan gave birth suddenly, and for a while there were only Mama Cao and a stable woman who was not familiar with her hands in the palace. Mama Cao has a lot of qualifications, and no one doubts that she said that she would wait. If he hadn't made trouble for the queen to go in and take a look, I was afraid that Li Shenlan's life would be really worried.

said that it was too late, and then it was fast, Concubine Xiang rushed to the door in a few steps, pulled out the guard's sword, and put it on Mama Cao's neck.

"Mother's life! The emperor spares his life! ”

"You can't pick up the baby!"

Mama Cao hurriedly kowtowed and admitted her mistake, only saying that it was because she knew the effect of the medicinal spoon, but she didn't expect Li Shenlan to open her fingers so quickly. Then he rushed in in a panic, and the imperial doctor woke up Li Shenlan and retreated.

Seeing this, Concubine Xiang threw the sword to the ground, and when she took a look, she saw that Yin Chen was still sitting there looking down at the ground.

This has been the case from beginning to end, and Concubine Xiang found out at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, if something really happens, you will definitely save Shen Lan." The queen mentioned it again.

Yin Chen didn't speak, but still sat there. No one noticed that his left hand had already clenched into a fist, as if his veins were about to burst.

Li Shenlan's screams sounded in the house again, mixed with Mama Cao's shouts, which made people sweat when they heard it.

Li Shenlan felt that she really had no strength at all, and Mama Cao on the side kept shouting, saying that it was almost there. But it seems that he has been squeezed dry, so it is better to die like this.

The sweat in front of his eyes was stained with his hair, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

In a trance, there seemed to be a figure floating by, and Li Shenlan opened her eyes and found that there was a thing like a marquee in front of her.

Uncle Song was drinking tea and playing chess, and Mother Song was cooking old hen soup in the kitchen.

Li Shenlan wanted to look at it twice, but in an instant, it turned into Li Yunshan's face again, and he smiled treacherously and asked himself why he hadn't found the cause of Li Mingjin's death.

Before Li Shenlan could answer, Concubine Xiang's face appeared in front of her again, and she called her name nervously and eagerly, saying that the child was about to come out. Li Shenlan wanted to open her mouth to tell her that she was so tired that she was really running out of strength......

And the moment this idea was first revealed, Yin Chen's face appeared in front of him, tender as water, and he unswervingly told himself that even if the child is gone, it doesn't matter, you must keep yourself, everything in the world is inferior to yourself......

Li Shenlan's consciousness was sometimes sober and sometimes blurred, remembering that she had heard the older generation say that before a person dies, the important people in his life will pass in front of him like a marquee.

So, I'm going to die.

"! When you see the head, you can work harder! ”

When Shuqiu saw Li Shenlan's eyelids slowly sinking again, and when the crying pear blossoms brought rain, she suddenly remembered Bang Chun's instructions when she left the palace.

She said that Li Shenlan cared very much about a pearl flower, and when she saw it in the autumn, she hurriedly rushed to the dressing table to rummage through it, and she remembered that the pearl flower was put away by Li Shenlan a few months ago.

"! Lo and behold! The emperor is waiting for you, you work harder! Please! ”

Li Shenlan saw it, the bead flower, the bead flower that Yin Chen put on his head from the vendor.

I don't know if I thought of the past, Li Shenlan's eyes suddenly opened a lot, and she came back to her senses, and finally screamed again.

As a scream echoed through the air, it was the loud cry of a baby......

Before falling into a coma, Li Shenlan realized that her child had come to this world!

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to the Emperor and Queen, she is a little princess!"

When Mama Cao knelt in front of everyone with the child in her arms, Yin Chen looked up at her violently, and then looked at the child, and the joy in her eyes could not dissipate for a long time.

The queen is also very happy, after many years, this palace has finally ushered in a new life, a princess, a pearl to be held in the palm of her hand.

When the Queen Mother saw that it was a princess, she finally relieved the breath she had been carrying. For her, the gender of the child is the most important, although there is no grandmother who does not love the child, but if it is a boy, she will never show mercy.

"Your Majesty, give the child a name."

The queen took it, her eyes were gentle, and she seemed to be able to pinch out the water, and she had experienced the taste of losing her child, so she would naturally cherish this treasure even more.

"Let Shen Lan take the child's name, and I will give her a title."

The newborn has never been titled since he came up, and He'an's title is because she was the eldest daughter of the emperor at the time, but this child was also named as soon as she was born, and it can be seen that Yin Chen loves her arrival.

The Queen Mother has no opinion, after all, she is just a princess.

"According to the emperor's wishes, what kind of title will be set?"

For a while, everyone's attention was on Yin Chen, and they wanted to see how much favor this emperor would give to this child.

"Princess Shengping, how is it?"

Prosperity and peace, peace and joy. The former speaks of the state, the latter of life.

"Living peacefully in this peaceful and prosperous world is really a great implication."

The queen sighed, but she was also sincerely happy for this child.

Seeing that the Queen Mother had no objections, the title was decided.

Concubine Xiang went in early in the morning to see Li Shenlan, and the imperial doctor said that she had to sleep for a while, and then she came out stupidly.

"How is Lan Zhaoyi?" Yin Chen asked.

"The doctor said that his body is too weak, and he has to sleep for a while."

Thinking of Fang Cai's incessant screams, Yin Chen looked at Sheng Ping and sighed. Fortunately, the mother and daughter are safe.

"Spread my will, Jin Zhaoyi Li is the concubine, and when Princess Shengping is full moon, she will be honored with the same book."

When Li Shenlan woke up again, she didn't know what time it was, and it was dazzling outside. Shuqiu hurriedly rushed in when he heard the sound, and then hurriedly called Concubine Xiang in.

"Wake up, are you hungry?" Concubine Xiang was still holding the child, and saw that Li Shenlan woke up and began to open up again.

"Where's the kid?"

Li Shenlan didn't have much strength, but when she saw Concubine Xiang hugging her, she wanted to hold it up and take a look.
