introduction
On the night of July 14 in the sixth year of Jingde, the lights in Zhaoqing Palace were bright, and the groans of Concubine Yu's labor pains came out of the hall intermittently. Emperor Jing sat upright in the east hall, unconsciously rubbing the jade plate in his hand, revealing a little irritability.
Gonggong He kept glancing at the little eunuch at the door and sent him to the bedroom to inquire about the situation. The little eunuch went back and forth several times, shaking his head every time he came back.
"Master, work harder! It's time. Aunt Liu Mei was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, so she could only hold Concubine Yu's hand tightly, eager to lend her all her strength.
"I ...... I ran out of energy. Concubine Yu's hair was wet with sweat, and she was stuck to her pale face, she felt that she was weak, and she was afraid that the child would not be born.
The pregnancy is less than a month, but I don't want the fetal pain to stop tonight, so the doctor came to see it and said that it was about to give birth. Emperor Jing heard the news and hurried to Zhaoqing Palace, but his face was solemn.
People say that the new life of the 15th of July is ominous, and the children born on the day of the opening of the ghost door are resentful ghosts. If this is an ordinary people's family, it is fine, but the royal family cannot touch this statement. What's more, there is evidence from the former dynasty who was born in the middle of the Yuan Festival to mourn the emperor, but it is difficult to believe it or not.
Concubine Yu has been in the palace for five years, and it was easy to survive to her current position, and now that she is pregnant, the position of the four concubines after giving birth to the prince is within reach. It was a good future for the mother to rely on her son, but she didn't expect the child to come out on this day.
Liu Mei took the ginseng soup and fed Concubine Yu, and said in a calm and firm tone: "If you don't have strength, you have to work hard!" Master, the left is only this hour. In this hour, you are born with grace and glory, and if you can't be born, there is no hope in this life. You can't let this go! ”
I don't know if it was the ginseng soup that worked, or Liu Mei's words that aroused Concubine Yu's fighting spirit, she was ruthless in her heart, and she bit her lip as if she was fighting, and she bit her lower lip so much that she was bleeding.
Her child can't be born on July 15, or everything will be ruined!
"Saw the head!" The midwife shouted, and even her voice was grinning with excitement. Concubine Yu was so painful that she couldn't hold it anymore and cried out loudly. After this sound, she felt that something had escaped from her body, and then there was a loud cry.
"Prince! It's a prince! ”
After running back and forth for I don't know how many times, the little eunuch finally rushed into the east hall and knelt in front of Emperor Jing to say hello loudly. Emperor Jing raised his head suddenly, looked at Gonggong He with a complicated expression.
Gonggong He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he bent down and arched his hand unhurriedly: "Say hello to the emperor!" The little prince was born at three o'clock on the 14th day of the seventh month. ”
Emperor Jing's gloomy face finally cleared up, and he walked towards the dormitory with his head held high. The midwife took the child out, Emperor Jing looked at his fifth son, put the jade plate that had been rubbed all night into the swaddling clothes, and said happily: "It's a good child!" He Dezhong, spread my will, and named Concubine Yu as a virtuous concubine, and was named Yu. ”
The joy that comes after the twists and turns is always more impressive than the immediate joy, and more exciting than the usual. Gonggong He sang the promise, with the usual friendly smile on his face, secretly thinking that Concubine Yude's birth was a blessing in disguise, and it seems that she will have to be close to Zhaoqing Palace in the future.
The eunuchs of the palace are also human spirits, kneeling on the ground with hulala, and saying joy repeatedly. Emperor Jing waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Meritorious, reward!" ”
After sending Emperor Jing away, Aunt Liu Mei hurriedly turned back to the inner room of the dormitory, and was about to say hello to Concubine Yude, but saw that Concubine Yude was still frowning, and a suppressed moan came out of her mouth, looking very painful.
Liu Mei was shocked, "Niangniang, but what's wrong?" The slave and maid called the imperial doctor in. ”
"Don't!" Concubine Yu De grabbed Liu Mei's hand tightly, looked at her with teary eyes, there was still a little blood on her chapped lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "Liu Mei...... And one more. ”
The sound of the third watch of the child came from afar in Yongxiang, and the mid-year festival arrived.
