On the sixth day of the first month of June, Xiao Mo invited ministers and their families above the second grade to congratulate Xia Man's birthday.

Early in the morning, the Ministry of Internal Affairs got the will to arrange many matters for the palace banquet in Qingning Garden.

Because Xia Man is the protagonist of today, she couldn't sleep lazy, so she got up early, and Xin'er groomed her and put on makeup, and her sleepy eyes were hazy, and she heard Xin'er asking what kind of bun she wanted to comb.

"If you have guests today, it's not too simple, just comb your hair in a bun." Xia Man usually pulls a bun at will, and then a hairpin is enough, but now he has to comb a complicated bun, so he sighs very much at Xin'er's good craftsmanship.

After about a cup of tea, the hair bun was combed, and some decent hairpin rings were put on, and the makeup was cleaned up.

"Fortunately, on this day, if you dress up like this every day, how tiring it will be." Xia Man gathered his shirt and covered his round belly, before taking the handle of the fan, and Xin'er helped him onto the sedan chair.

The Yun clan took the cloak and followed aside, and went to Qingning Garden together.

It was only half a tea time from Liangyi Palace to Qingning Garden, and when Xia Man's sedan chair arrived, Xiao Mo and everyone were already waiting early.

"Sit here." Xiao Mo helped Xia Man to the chair on his right hand before letting the concubines pay their respects.

As soon as the ceremony was finished, Zhou Jinge arrived, Xia Man was about to get up to greet him, and he heard Zhou Jinge say: "The concubine is pregnant, you don't have to get up, and it's a birthday, happy and happy, today, I will give you a glass tree, I wish you peace and joy." ”

As soon as Zhou Jinge's words fell, the concubines paid their respects again, and Xia Man asked Xin'er to put away the green trees before saying, "Thank you to the queen." ”

Zhou Jinge smiled, blessed Xiao Mo, said goodbye, and sat down.

"Open the table, sing and dance into the ......" The palace people got Xiao Mo's will, and with a long sound, they called the dancing girl waiting outside the garden in.

The sound of silk and bamboo started, and the dancing girls rushed in, waving their light silk sleeves one by one, twisting their soft waists, which was very eye-catching.

Xu is outside the garden is not as good as inside the hall, the air is a little cold, Xia Man's nose is itchy, and he sneezes lightly, Yun Shi saw this, and hurriedly put the cloak on Xia Man, Xia Man was not easy to refuse, so she fulfilled her wish.

Halfway through the singing and dancing, Xiao Mo leaned on his body, approached Xia Man, and said, "Can your body stand it?"

"It doesn't matter." Xia Man smiled and quipped, "I see that the dancer who is leading the dance has been watching you, don't you have any thoughts about you?"

The person leading the dance is the famous dance Linglong in the city, and the evaluation of her on the rivers and lakes is only one sentence: "The posture is exquisite, and it is ecstatic." ”

"Probably those courtiers think that I have few people in the harem, and the heirs are thin, so they want to choose a few beauties for me." Xiao Mo was not interested in dancing Linglong, and drank wine by himself.

Since ancient times, there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, Xiao Mo is only five in the harem now, and there is only one daughter of Xiao Yun, in the eyes of the courtiers, he is really a little anxious, even Zhou Chang always taught Zhou Jinge not to be jealous, to choose some concubines for Xiao Mo, who knew that Xiao Mo refuted them one by one, and the courtiers guessed that Xiao Mo might be tired of the official women, so they specially looked for a dancing girl like Wu Linglong, and wanted to try Xiao Mo's preferences.

"Your courtiers are so sweet." Xia Man smacked his lips and looked like he was watching a play.

Xiao Mo Xia Man in the upper seat was chatting, and Liu Wuwu in the lower seat was holding the wine glass tightly, his eyes were full of jealousy, and the incense he took from his aunt was used several times, but every time he saw Xiao Mo, it was a short moment, and he didn't succeed, today, maybe it's an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Liu Wuwu tidied up her clothes and stepped forward and said: "The concubine congratulates the concubine, congratulates the emperor, and wishes to ......."

Before Liu Wuwu could finish speaking, Xiao Mo interrupted: "Concubine Liu has a heart, go down." Xiao Mo is also gentle to the harem, but he has a prejudice against Liu Wuwu, and he doesn't want to meet her, let alone talk much.

Seeing Xiao Mo's indifferent attitude, Liu Wuwu smiled awkwardly before returning to his seat.

During the conversation, the singing and dancing were closed, and the dancing Linglong stepped forward with broken steps, and said in a coquettish voice: "The slave dance Linglong sees the emperor, and now I see the emperor's heroic appearance, and it really deserves its name." ”

Xiao Mo raised his eyes and looked at Wu Linglong, who could be called a beauty, but unfortunately, he had no background, "Get the reward and step back." ”

Hearing this, Wu Linglong bit her lip tightly and asked unwillingly: "Is it because the slave is a dancing girl that she can't get into the eyes of the emperor?"

Xiao Mo had a headache and said, "Yes, how can anyone enter my harem." ”

"Then why can she enter, she used to be a maidservant." Wu Linglong pointed at Xia Man, with a look of disdain.

At the beginning, the concubine was canonized by Xia Man of the Qin family, and only a few people knew that she had been a maidservant, but now that Wu Linglong said it, it naturally aroused the curiosity of many courtiers and family members in the next seat, and they all looked at Xia Man.

"Bold! The daughter of the Qin family is also something you can slander, come on, drag it down!" Xiao Mo's eyes signaled, and some palace people scolded him, and then, the imperial guards escorted Wu Linglong down.

It was a small turmoil, and it would subside if Wu Linglong was taken away, but Yun stood up and laughed to himself.

Before everyone could react, they saw the Yun clan pointing at Xia Man and said, "You impostor, you dare to call the Qin family's daughter, joke!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Mo stopped coldly.

Yun Shi was not afraid at all, and said: "Although she looks the same as Miss, Miss is raised by me since I was a child, and she is by no means Miss." ”

Xia Man's heart trembled, his brain buzzed, and he saw that everyone in the next seat began to whisper, and in a trance, it seemed that he had moved fetal gas, and his stomach suddenly throbbed, so as not to worry about Xiao Mo, he had to protect his stomach, hold on, and began to think of countermeasures in his mind.

"You're an old fool." Xiao Mo looked at the Yun clan coldly, with a warning in his eyes.

Yun's eyes suddenly turned red, like a bloodthirsty wolf, he spat viciously, and almost roared: "It's her!" It must be her, kill Miss, she is not Miss!"

As soon as Yun's words came out, everyone talked even more, and even more, they had already made a gesture of watching the play.

Xiao Mo saw that Xia Man's expression was not good, so he dispersed the banquet in advance, issued a strict decree, and let the Yun family be detained, so he took Xia Man to leave Qingning Garden in a step.

Along the way, Xiao Mo didn't ask about Xia Man, only held her hand tightly and wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead.

The throbbing pain began to be frequent, Xia Man gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "It hurts." ”

Xiao Mo saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly asked Qianying to invite Qianying to Liangyi Palace, and passed a few imperial doctors and midwives, and for a while, Liangyi Palace was busy.

"What's going on?" Qianying rushed back from the border to participate in the banquet, but when he arrived in the palace, he was invited to the Liangyi Palace, and as soon as he entered the palace, he saw Xia Man shrinking into a ball in pain, and Xiao Mo was anxiously comforting on the side.

"I'm afraid I'm going to give birth." Xiao Mo stroked Xia Man's stomach, trying to relieve her pain.

"It's only been seven months!" Qianying was a little surprised, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he hurriedly stepped forward to give Xia Man a pulse, this pulse, only to feel bad, and said: "Let people prepare some ginseng soup, and ......"

Qianying wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Mo was worried about Xia Man, and asked, "What else?"

"The fetus is not full-term, and she seems to have smelled oxytocic drugs, and she is restless, I am afraid that it is dangerous and dangerous, and it is likely that one corpse will die twice." Qianying took out the silver needle, pierced it according to Xia Man's Quchi acupoint, Taichong acupoint, and Taixi acupoint, and smelled it carefully, sure enough, Xia Man had the smell of oxytocic medicine, and said, "Throw this cloak out." ”

Xiao Mo threw away his cloak, uncharacteristically calm, grabbed Qianying's wrist, and said word by word: "The fetus is resigned to fate, but she must live." ”

Qianying was stunned for a moment, knowing the meaning of Xiao Mo's words, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I'll give her an injection first." ”

The silver needle was pricked, Xia Man began to see red, and the midwife hurriedly prepared the items and began to deliver Xia Man.
