Chapter 64: The Missing Midwife
Yu Qing waved her hand, she didn't think that the emperor had taken a fancy to herself, how could the big devil and the big boss who was uncertain take a fancy to herself, she only punished herself for kneeling some time ago, and she was poisoned by someone because of heat stroke, it's just too miserable.
"Impossible, Concubine Zhen, this emperor can give me gifts, I'm afraid I think I have worked hard to visit you in Tsinghua Garden, you are still pregnant with his child, those gifts are nothing to him, just give them to him!" Yu Qing said disapprerovingly.
Concubine Zhen didn't believe her statement, and said: "For example, what if the emperor really likes you and wants to make you a concubine?" ”
"Impossible. Concubine Zhen, don't think about it too much, if the emperor takes a fancy to me and wants to make me a concubine, how can he make me a palace maid.
Are you pregnant, worrying too much and liking to think cranky? Yu Qing said with a smile.
She had never thought of this, and she didn't want to stay in the palace, let alone be a concubine for the emperor, what a terrible thing it was!
Yu Qing felt that maybe Concubine Zhen was pregnant and worried too much, and she liked to think crankily.
In modern times, pregnant women are very prone to depression, what prenatal depression, postpartum depression, to put it bluntly, is because of thinking too much, and there are some worries about it.
Because depression in modern society cannot be cured, people with depression will always want to commit suicide, and they must persuade Concubine Zhen more.
Concubine Zhen also felt that if the emperor really fell in love with Yu Qing, he would directly seal the concubine, and let Yu Qing be a palace maid.
But to be able to come to Tsinghua Garden to visit him, this kind of welfare holiday is not something that ordinary palace maids can have.
Moreover, how could ordinary palace maids get the emperor's thoughts and rewards, so Concubine Zhen felt that most of the emperor really took a fancy to Yuqing.
Yu Qing saw that Concubine Zhen was still contemplative, and Yu Qing felt that she couldn't let her think like this, there would be problems, so she hurriedly spoke.
"Concubine Zhen, you said that a rich and rich man, he is already rich and rivals the country, because there is a subordinate who waits for his wife very carefully, so he is happy and rewards this subordinate with a hundred taels of silver, do you think it is normal?"
Concubine Zhen thought for a while and said, "It's normal, a hundred taels is nothing, if you spend a hundred taels of silver to make your subordinates serve better and more loyal, it's worth it!" ”
"That's right! You said that these gifts given to me by the emperor are not like a rich man, a hundred taels of silver is just a drizzle for him, and even more so for the emperor.
The world is the emperor, so give me some gifts, I should want to serve you more carefully in this Tsinghua Garden, and treat you better, so that you can give birth to the little prince safely, which is more important and important to the emperor! Yu Qing explained.
Hearing this, Concubine Zhen was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, she agreed.
"Also, Concubine Zhen, I don't want to stay in the palace, I want to go out of the palace and live a free life!" Yu Qing said.
She wants to do a small business outside the palace, see the life of the ancients, see the ancient rivers and lakes, and see the prosperity of the ancients.
Otherwise, what is the point of spending your life in this palace surrounded by high palace walls!
Concubine Zhen smiled helplessly.
"How can we have a free life as women, you are just getting married when you leave the palace, and after you get married, you have to marry and teach your children, and you must not show your face, there is no difference between you and being in the palace.
Moreover, the food, drink and enjoyment of the palace are at least the best, and there are many people who serve themselves, but marrying an ordinary family, there is no such a good life. ”
Yu Qing pursed her lips, she didn't agree with what Concubine Zhen said, she didn't want to live this so-called good life, she was just a caged bird.
In addition to making the emperor favored, he also had to give birth to the emperor, and he also suffered the jealousy and framing of other caged birds, which was simply terrible.
However, Yu Qing agrees with Concubine Zhen that marrying into a big family outside the palace must be about the same time, either a palace fight or a house fight, so what's the point.
As a modern person, Yu Qing would never want to live such a life, and she could not understand the thinking and lifestyle of ancient women.
Although I have crossed over, it does not mean that I will compromise.
Seeing Yu Qing's big grin, Concubine Zhen felt that this little girl still likes to be whimsical and always thinks of something unrealistic.
It's like a free life after leaving the palace, which is completely a dream.
Seeing this girl's hopeful appearance for the future, Concubine Zhen couldn't bear to interrupt Yu Qing's imagination.
However, if you just let Yuqing leave the palace like this, you will inevitably have to suffer some hardships, it is better to stay in the palace all the time, with this girl's ghost cleverness, she will definitely have a good life.
Concubine Zhen glanced at Yu Qing, just now Yu Qing told herself categorically that the emperor didn't like her, and now she wants to persuade her, but she can't say it directly, so let's be tactful.
"Yu Qing, you see that this palace is actually good." Concubine Zhen said to Yu Qing.
But then, her eyes darkened a little, she lowered her head, and said with a look of frustration: "But, no matter how good it is, I am also alone." ”
"Okay, what's going on?" Yu Qing felt that her head was big when she looked at Concubine Zhen like this, she was obviously coaxed just now, why did she come again after such a while?
Concubine Zhen sighed, and said to Yu Qing with a particularly sad look: "In this harem, there is no fuel-efficient lamp, even if I do everything possible to avoid them, but trouble will still find my head." My parents are both outside the palace, and they have been in for a few years, and they haven't seen them. ”
"Don't worry, Concubine Zhen, when you give birth, the emperor should let your parents come in to accompany you." Yu Qing was relieved when she heard her say this.
It turned out to be such a trivial matter, and I thought something was wrong. In this harem, they have all lost their freedom, and how many of them can do whatever they want.
"Even if we meet, it's not like we're about to separate, where can I always be by my side?" Concubine Zhen looked a little crying, and she was a little distressed when she saw it.
She also knows why the emperor loves Concubine Zhen so much.
"Don't worry, that's how everyone came, it's nothing."
Although Yu Qing persuaded her like this, she also knew that what she said was not convincing at all.
I haven't been a mother in the palace, and I haven't intrigued with others, so I naturally don't know how painful it is to be isolated here.
"Yuqing, or you can stay with me, anyway, with me, we are also companions." Concubine Zhen looked at Yu Qing with tears shining with eyes, as if she had pinned all her hopes on Yu Qing.
When Yu Qing heard her say this, she felt that her head hurt a little. She yearns for freedom, and naturally she will not be willing to stay here and be slaughtered.
Therefore, for Concubine Zhen's proposal, Yu Qing refused without hesitation: "I don't belong here, this is not my home, I don't like here." ”
Seeing Yu Qing's resolute rejection of herself, Concubine Zhen sighed and hinted again: "Our sisters are connected, and when the time comes, the two of us will join forces, and we won't be able to do whatever we want?" ”
Yu Qing shook her head, and once again refused: "Concubine Zhen, I ...... I won't be involved in the battle of the harem. ”
When she said this, Yu Qing couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Although I don't want to, it often backfires, and now I'm getting deeper and deeper.
Seeing that Yu Qing had made up her mind, Concubine Zhen knew that she couldn't keep her, so she sighed, "Then I wish you what you want, before leaving, come over and accompany me more." ”
This request is reasonable, not excessive.
Yu Qing wouldn't refuse, so she nodded, and agreed with a smart look in her eyes: "Okay, I want to see how cute this little bean in your belly is?" ”
"Well...... Then the day I give birth, you will come, right? Concubine Zhen still felt that Yu Qing was by her side, and she would feel at ease.
How many children in this harem were not born, and she died first, she hadn't heard of it.
It is precisely because she knows this clearly that she feels how important it is to have someone she trusts to help her.
"Of course."
Yu Qing nodded, looked outside, it was not early, and said: "You can rest assured that you will raise the baby, I will go back first, and when you give birth in a few days, I will come over to accompany you." ”
"Okay, then you can go back first." Concubine Zhen said goodbye to Yu Qing, and Yu Qing went out.
A few days later, Yu Qing heard that Concubine Zhen was about to give birth. remembered that he had promised Concubine Zhen to accompany her, so he hurriedly packed himself up and went to Concubine Zhen's palace to wait for Concubine Zhen to give birth.
When she went, Concubine Zhen's amniotic fluid had broken, she was lying on the bed, covering her stomach with one hand, it hurt, sweat trickled down her cheeks, and finally fell to the ground.
Yu Qing stood beside her, looking at Concubine Zhen in such pain, and suddenly felt unbearable. It's all so painful, but he still wants to give birth to this child for the emperor without hesitation......
At this moment, Yu Qing only felt a little pitiful. In order to make the emperor have mercy and gain the favor of a man, he did not hesitate to use his life as a bet, and his mother and son were expensive.
However, when she was thinking wildly, the palace maid was in and out next to Yu Qing, busy with her work.
However, for a long time, Yu Qing didn't see the midwife......
Yu Qing couldn't help but feel strange, the emperor was willing to let him come to see Concubine Zhen, was he reluctant to give Concubine Zhen a midwife? Is it possible to let Concubine Zhen give birth to herself?
Frowning, Yu Qing walked over, looked at Concubine Zhen's sweaty appearance, and couldn't help but say, "Wait, just bear with it." ”
When Concubine Zhen heard the familiar voice, she barely opened her eyes, and when she saw that it was Yuqing, she was actually relieved in her heart and said, "You...... You, here. ”
After saying this, Concubine Zhen began to wail again, her stomach hurt so much that she was about to explode, and she even felt that the child in her stomach couldn't hold it anymore.
"What about the midwife? Where's the midwife?! Seeing Concubine Zhen's painful appearance, Yu Qing couldn't help but hold Concubine Zhen's hand and shouted at the side.
