Chapter 175: Wife and Concubine (1)
Originally, it was said that the top and bottom of Prince Gong's mansion, even for the emperor's sake, would welcome Concubine Shu in quite decently, but at dusk, a soft sedan chair with red silk flowers had just been lifted through the side door of Prince Gong's mansion, and Lan Yi's amniotic fluid broke.
A strange and familiar feeling came, and she did not forget to tell Ruihua to take care of the bride, and then slowly lay down on the prepared delivery bed, accumulating strength.
The weather in May was already a little stuffy, Ning Fu ran a few times sweating profusely, boiling hot water, sending someone to call the Wen Po who had been set before, and someone to hand over the sign to invite the imperial doctor, completely leaving Concubine Shu behind.
Fortunately, the place where the newcomers live has been arranged, and Ruihua is older, and she has not forgotten this matter in her calmness, so after letting people bring Concubine Shu in, she sent someone to explain it again, and then guarded in the main house to help.
However, Lan Yi's fetus was unstable before, and the imperial doctor prescribed medicine to replenish the qi as soon as he came up, but after giving birth for half an hour, Wen Po suddenly said that it was bad, saying that the princess was afraid that she was going to have a difficult birth, and the child's feet came down first.
Chang Jue listened to this outside, almost going crazy, and he didn't remember that today was still his good day, and he was about to rush inside.
The little servants stopped him and begged each other bitterly: "The princess said that His Royal Highness has done too many unruly things for the princess, and they all say that the delivery room is unlucky for men. The princess said that if the minions didn't stop you, after the birth, you should greet the minions with a big board. ”
Chang Jue gritted his teeth in anger, only then did he know that Lan Yi had calculated all this, stood in place with his fists clenched for a while, and said, "Okay, I won't embarrass you, but now you immediately get up from the ground for me, go out to find it, and find me all the stable women in the capital, as well as the doctors who are good at midwifery!" ”
When the little servants heard this, they hurriedly did as they were told, and between running back and forth, they couldn't help but pass by Concubine Shu's house.
The wing room is newly cleaned up, because Lan Yi sent people to watch, the people dare not careless, the red silk is not as overwhelming as Chang Jue's wedding, but it also covers the entire bed. Lan Yi said that this was not trespassing, mainly to please a good omen.
Concubine Shu didn't wear a hijab, after all, she was not a wife, or she wore it, and Changjue would not have the kung fu to find a scale rod to uncover, she wore a gilded hairpin, and a few round pearls fell from both sides, which her mother personally gave her hairpin before she got married, saying that her dowry that year would bring her good fortune.
It's just that her hair is all combed up, and there are such pearls dangling on her cheeks, which makes her already round face more and more round, but fortunately when it comes to the chin, it is a little sharper, and it can finally be called "a little exquisite".
She is a few years younger than Lan Yi, the childishness between her eyebrows has not yet been shed, her eyes are not big, but she is warm and good-looking, and she looks like a girl who has not yet grown up. Because of the nervous day, it was inevitable that she would be a little tired at this time, and she was thinking about asking if His Highness would come, but when she heard the movement outside, she said to the maid next to her, "What's wrong?" ”
The maid's name is Bai'er, she is a maidservant to marry, naturally as a side concubine to take the maid through the door is not in accordance with the rules, it is really a marriage given by the emperor himself, and Prince Gong's mansion is kind, so he let him bring it. At this moment, Bai'er heard her master ask, and hurriedly said, "The slave and maid went out to inquire." ”
Concubine Shu waited boredly for a while, and when Bai'er came back, she hurriedly asked, "Did you hear about it?" ”
Bai'er said: "Miss, the princess is afraid that she has a difficult birth, and Her Royal Highness is asking people to invite the best Wen Po and Lang Zhong." ”
Concubine Shu blinked, "Difficult birth?" It seems like a terrible thing. ”
Bai'er lowered her voice, "Miss, difficult childbirth will kill people." ”
Concubine Shu gasped and stammered, "Then, do I have to go see the princess?" ”
Bai'er was older than her, thought about it, and said: "The slave maid thinks that you can go, the princess is very good at picking the day when she gives birth, today is a good day for the young lady, but she stopped her, Your Highness is anxious at this time, and must forget about you, according to the slave maid, you should show your face and fight for yourself." ”
There is another sentence in the back, Bai'er seems to be holding back and not daring to say it, Concubine Shu has been with her for many years, and she can see it at a glance, "You can tell me what you have." ”
Bai'er got a little closer and whispered: "Again, if the princess's fate is really not good, and something happens, it happens to be you who is by His Royal Highness's side, and it will be special to look at you at Your Highness." ”
Concubine Shu was ignorant, and muttered "Are we a curse", so she was pulled by Bai'er to change into her usual clothes and go all the way to the main house.
The specially arranged delivery room next to the main house is brightly lit, and the outside is orderly, but the people are trotting back and forth, and it is inevitable that the atmosphere is a little tense.
Concubine Shu thought in her heart that even at this time, the people who followed the princess knew how to observe etiquette, and it was really not easy, so she stepped directly into the threshold.
Her husband was standing there, with his back to her, with his hands behind his back, one of them clenched into a fist, looking very nervous, not burly but not thin. The way Ryuya should be.
Concubine Shu's heart was pounding, she took a step forward, curtsied, and whispered, "The concubine has seen His Highness." ”
Wei Changjue was about to rush in to accompany Lan Yi after a while, when he heard someone shouting to him, he lowered his head slightly and turned around to look over, first puzzled, and then frowned, "Are you Shu's?" ”
Concubine Shu nodded, pursed her lips and said, "The concubine heard that the princess was giving birth, so she came to take a look......"
"Come and see, what's the use? Are you a stable woman? Are you a physician? The annoyance in Changjue's heart, he finally found an outlet for pouring, and poured it out directly, "At this time, Lan Yi is passing through the ghost gate, and I haven't summoned it, what are you doing here?" ”
In one sentence, Concubine Shu was stunned, and the maid beside her was also a little confused.
It is said that His Royal Highness King Gong is a good-tempered person, even if he is with the adults who are officials in the same dynasty, he has never blushed, let alone treats the people around him. It's like the Concubine Chen Shu who was only recently mentioned, although she is not favored, she has never received a heavy word, why is this newcomer reprimanded when she passes the door?
Concubine Shu didn't dare to look at him anymore, lowered her head and stammered: "Yes, it's the concubine's mother, who instructed the concubine, saying that the princess, the princess is going to give birth, and after the concubine passes through the door, she must not be disrespectful to the princess, and the concubine is not very good here......"
"Shut up." Chang Jue shouted.
What do you mean by not very good? Lan Yi hasn't done anything yet, so it's not very good?
In fact, Concubine Shu is like a sister to him, looking at a small group, he can't have any love between men and women at all, especially if he can't speak, Chang Jue has no patience at all as soon as he makes contact, he waved his hand and pushed her out, "You go back to your own house now, don't go out for the next two days without my order." ”
Concubine Shu was dazed for a while, and then realized that this meant that on the first day of entering the door, she was going to be grounded!
She was so frightened that she couldn't cry, and she didn't know what she had done wrong, so she stood in place for a while, and said very timidly: "Your Highness, the concubine just wants to accompany you, and she also wants to visit the princess......"
Chang Jue suddenly raised his voice and said angrily: "Can't you understand what I said? Get out! The princess has nothing to do, so why do you need to visit?! You cursed the princess in and out of your words, what kind of heart is An! ”
The next moment, Lan Yi's heart-rending shout came from inside, Chang Jue seemed to have no foreign objects in his ears and eyes, and went directly inside, and someone stepped forward to stop him, so he asked people to "get out", it was really a terrifying appearance of God blocking and killing God and Buddha.
He said, "What do you know? Lan Yi is fighting for me inside, but you keep me waiting outside! Who has the final say in this Gong Wangfu?! You are presumptuous! ”
After a few entanglements and struggles, the little guys couldn't stop it, Chang Jue finally lifted the curtain and walked in, and the voice of the midwife's dissuasion came from inside, and Chang Jue's words came out again: "Lan Yi is like this, what do you care about auspicious and unlucky?" I couldn't be with her last time, and this time, I left her here alone, absolutely not! ”
Concubine Shu's legs were scared soft, obviously Changjue would not change her complexion suddenly when she was angry, nor would she roar loudly, but that gaze and tone would make people afraid.
The farce just now and Wei Changjue's words kept hammering on her, the taste in Concubine Shu's heart was inexplicable, she didn't know how to get out, it was probably the maid next to her who made a lot of effort, dragged her back, and dragged her back to her house.
"Your Highness, he, he has become disgusted with me." Concubine Shu's lips trembled, and it took a while for her to say this, and she followed this sentence, and her tears fell down like broken threads, "What should I do, I've only been here for the first day, and I've made a fuss like this, I'm really unlucky." ”
Bai'er was on the side, muttering, "Is it your bad luck, Miss, or is the princess deliberately targeting you?" It's clear that you're passing through the door today, but she's going to have a baby......"
"Don't say such things, whether to have children or not is decided by God, can she do it on purpose, princess?" Concubine Shu pushed Bai'er, "If you instigate me again, you will go back to Shu's house, and don't follow me in the future!" ”
Bai'er was a little anxious at this time, "Miss, the slave doesn't want to instigate you, the slave and maid feel sorry for you when you come out of the cabinet and encounter this kind of thing, so I can't help but complain." The slave wants to help you gain a foothold in the palace. ”
Concubine Shu said: "In this situation, how can I stand firm, and make it clear that in His Royal Highness's heart, there is only the princess, if the princess is not good, no one in this mansion can be good, you quickly put away your careful thoughts, and the road ahead, take one step at a time." Let's see how Concubine Chen did it? She didn't show her face all day. ”
