676

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Chinese New Year's Eve has passed.

I don't know if it's because this winter is so cold or what, people don't seem to have the mood for the previous year.

Not to mention Wei Yining, who has been on the road, and Zhong Ye, who is on the front line.

Since he knew the news that Wei Yining had gone out of Beijing to find Wei Hongan, Zhong Ye sent several cronies to pursue Wei Yining all the way, and secretly protected her after finding her.

The road is far away, and he doesn't know if those people have found Wei Yining until now, but he prays in his heart every day for God's blessing, so that Wei Yining can find his younger brother safely.

At the same time, the harem has been basically peaceful in recent days. All the masters seemed to have made an appointment, and no one stirred up trouble, so there was peace.

Because the emperor has received good news in a row, coupled with the peace of the harem, he is happy.

And he didn't go to court before the Shangyuan Festival, and he really spent a few days idle.

On this day, I was having dinner with the queen in Fengyi Palace, and Bai Shun, the head of Cuiming Palace, hurried over, and the queen took the lead in putting down the chopsticks and asked, "So urgent, but Concubine Li is about to give birth?" ”

"Emperor Qi, our mother is crying out for pain, she should be about to give birth." Bai Shun panted and said, the weather was so cold, he was still sweating all over his face, which showed how fast he ran.

"Did you call the Imperial Doctor?" The emperor got up and asked.

"I've already gone to invite," Baishun said while wiping his sweat: "But our master is very afraid, and the slave thinks that His Majesty and the Queen Mother will have a backbone if they go." ”

"When did Concubine Li start hurting?" The queen asked.

"Just now, Niangniang felt uncomfortable after only taking a sip of soup." Bai Shun said in detail: "The slave thought that he was affected by the air conditioning, so he hurriedly brought the hand stove. But the mother said no, the stomach hurt more and more, and I was afraid that I was going to give birth. ”

"It will hurt to give birth for a while," the queen said calmly, "At this time, abdominal pain will begin, at least until midnight." Concubine Li is the first child again, so she is afraid that she will toss until the second half of the night. Your Majesty don't worry, the Imperial Doctor should have arrived. The midwife has been living in Cuiming Palace for a long time, so you better use the dinner first, otherwise you won't be able to eat if you go over there and make a fuss, and besides, you will wait in vain. ”

Whoever wants the emperor but is not at ease, and he doesn't even eat, he has to drive Cuiming Palace.

When the queen saw him like this, she had no choice but to follow, and she was inevitably a little unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

When I arrived at Cuiming Palace, the lights inside were brilliant, and the female eunuchs of the Imperial Doctor Wenpo Palace were shuttling back and forth, and Concubine Zeng Li's cry of pain was clear in the courtyard.

When everyone saw the emperor and queen arrive, they all knelt down to say goodbye.

The emperor said impatiently: "When are you still making these false tricks!" How is Concubine Lifei now? ”

"Your Majesty, the fetal position of the mother is not correct, and it is a little tricky." Imperial Physician Zhao said.

"Oops, that's not a small matter." After hearing this, the queen said, "Is it Lisheng or Hengsheng?" ”

Normal children are born with their heads down, the fetus with their feet down, and the horizontal ones with their stomachs horizontally, usually with their arms coming out first.

"Queen Qiyu, it is a birth." Imperial Doctor's Road.

When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but rejoice in her heart, this Lisheng was the most troublesome, and she usually thought that Lisheng's child was ominous.

But on the surface, she pretended to be very anxious and said, "How is this good? You have to think of a safe way. ”

The emperor was even more anxious when he heard this, and ordered: "I don't care what method you use, I must keep Concubine Li's mother and son safe!" Otherwise, pull out the noon gate and behead! ”

The doctors and women were suddenly frightened, the matter of giving birth was to go around in front of the ghost gate, and no one could guarantee that the children and adults would be safe during the delivery process.

What's more, Concubine Li's baby is destined to be difficult to deliver.

But the emperor's order is difficult to do, they can only do their best.

Get to work quickly.

"Your Majesty, let's go to the side hall and wait." The queen thoughtfully stepped forward and took the emperor's hand and said, "There are many people here, and the smell is pickled. ”

But the emperor shook off her hand and said, "The queen will go by herself!" I'm just waiting here. ”

The queen had a jade bracelet on her hand, and her wrist hurt, but she couldn't have a seizure, otherwise it would mean that all her previous efforts were wasted.

"The emperor is worried about Concubine Li's sister, the concubine is here to accompany you." The queen said gently.

"The queen has worked hard," the emperor said with some apologies, "I know that you are the most virtuous, and Concubine Li also has a lot of care from you, but I am very upset now." ”

The emperor's attitude made the queen feel better, and said politely: "The concubine understands that with the emperor in charge, Concubine Li will definitely be safe." ”

Time passed minute by minute, and the blood and water were brought out one after another, and Concubine Li's voice was hoarse, but the child was still not born.

The imperial doctor Wen Po became more and more panicked, and the emperor became more and more anxious.

"Your Majesty! The concubine is sorry for you! Concubine Li howled and cried inside: "The concubine really can't hold on!" ”

The emperor was terrified when he heard this, and he didn't care about taboos, so he went directly into the inner room.

Concubine Zeng Li's hair was scattered, her face was full of tears and sweat, and her lips were white.

After seeing the emperor, tears rolled down like broken beads, and he called out weakly, "Your Majesty!" ”

"Don't be afraid, concubine, I'm here!" The emperor hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Concubine Zeng Li's hand, and took her into his arms.

"Your Majesty, I can't do it." Concubine Zeng Li shook her head tiredly and said, "The concubine has no strength at all. ”

"Don't be afraid, you'll be fine." The emperor comforted softly: "As long as you are safe, I will promise you whatever you want." ”

At this time, the queen had already come in, and after hearing the emperor's words, her heart was cold.

But the emperor completely left her aside, and Concubine Zeng Li was the only one left in her eyes.

The queen suddenly felt that she was redundant, and the grace she felt these days suddenly became very ridiculous.

The palace maid brought the boiled ginseng soup and gave it to Concubine Zeng Lifei to drink, and the doctor used acupuncture, and Wen Po simply rode on Concubine Zeng Li's body.

After tossing and turning for nearly an hour, the child was finally born.

With a cry of "wow", Concubine Zeng Li fainted with all her might, and the emperor was also too worried and his legs were weak.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! It's a little prince. The midwife, who was close to collapse, held the newborn child tightly and handed it to the emperor.

"Great!" The emperor was radiant, as if he was ten years younger all of a sudden: "Everyone is rewarded!" I want to give amnesty to the world again! Call the people of the Ministry of Rites! I want to make Concubine Zeng Li the imperial concubine, and the fifth prince as the king of Zhao! ”

"Your Majesty!" The queen on the side couldn't help but exclaim, and then realized that she was out of shape: "Sister Concubine Li's body is weak, let her rest first." It's not too late to mention the matter of Jin Feng in the future,"

The title of imperial concubine has been empty since she became the queen, although she is not a queen, but she is also very noble, and she is generally given this title before the death of a concubine who has an heir.

And now the four princes, none of them has been crowned king, Concubine Zeng Li's child has just been born, and the emperor is actually going to crown him King Zhao.

It's no wonder that the queen can't accept it.
