Chapter 36 Peach Blossom is merciful
May is the best time of the year, coinciding with the yard of Xifu begonias also bloomed, clusters of pink flowers and bones, since I was favored, the yard has added a lot of novelties, rose stands, jasmine thresholds, peony Jiaojiao Yan Yan Dou prosperous.
The queen's illness is also good and bad, but she has been sleeping a lot lately, and she thinks that she is sleepy in spring and lack in autumn, so she just avoids asking for peace every day, and she is also at ease.
After using tea in the afternoon, I leaned on the agarwood couch and rested for a while, when a thunderstorm sounded, followed by the sound of dripping rain, and after a while, it rained heavily.
I woke up from my sleep, turned over, the thin jacket on my body fell, Fufeng got up and closed the window, and the begonia flowers in the yard were knocked off by the rain.
"Okay ***, how can it thunder?" I asked lazily about Fufeng,
Fufeng gently closed the window, and just wanted to speak, a person hurriedly came in the courtyard, dressed in a cyan palace dress, his hair was wet and knotted, and he rushed into the inner room with a wet body.
When he knelt on the ground, he kowtowed, and said silently: "Niangniang, help." ”
I glanced at this palace maid, I didn't know each other, I didn't know which palace it was, Fu Hui said pityingly: "Why didn't you come out without an umbrella?" Look at your wet body. ”
The palace maid choked up slightly and said: "Niang Niang save my master, I am the winter guard next to the waste concubine Jian Concubine, who knows that Concubine Jian will give birth this afternoon, it has been more than two hours and still can't give birth, I am afraid that my life will be in danger if I go on like this, Concubine Jian Niangniang said that I want to see you." ”
When I heard this, I fell asleep and asked, "Isn't there still a month left, why did you give birth prematurely?" ”
"Since my mother was pregnant, her physical condition has been worse day by day, and she has been in a trance all day long, and she is often awakened by nightmares in her sleep." Shoudong said helplessly.
"Quick, go to Changchun Palace." I said to Shou Dong that Fleur had put on a trench coat and an umbrella, and hurried over.
My nervous heartbeat quickened all the way, I clenched Fu Hui's hand, and said in my heart: "Concubine Jian, don't have an accident, I haven't told her her identity yet, I originally planned to arrange for her to meet Eniang after she gave birth safely." I thought to myself, and instinctively quickened my pace.
Pushed open the door of Concubine Jian's palace, a smell of blood mixed with a strange fragrance, Concubine Jian's low cry rang in her ears, and the palace maids who came and went brought out basins of blood and water.
I suppressed the feeling of nausea in my heart, and Fleur said beside me: "Niangniang, the delivery room is bloody, you haven't given birth, so don't go in." ”
I nodded, and stood there looking at the palace maid in a hurry, Concubine Jian's cries came and went, and she looked in great pain.
The old lady with blood on her hands came out of the inner room, her face was full of sadness, I knew that the situation was not good, and I entered the inner room and came to Concubine Jian's bedside despite Fu Yuan's obstruction.
Concubine Jian's face was wet with sweat, extremely white, as if she had no strength at all, and the midwife said in a crying voice: "Niangniang, what do you say about this, I can't use any strength, I've been bleeding a lot for a long time, what can I do?" ”
I was even more anxious than this stable woman, thinking that I shouldn't mess up, Concubine Jian opened her eyes with great difficulty, and said, "Good sister, I know you will come, why are you the only one?" The flattery and flattery I used to have in the past are now scattered, but the people I usually hate come to look at me. ”
I knew that she was talking about Yun Guiren and others, so I couldn't help but sigh in my heart and said: "To be a woman, you have to have this calamity, if you are a prince, you don't have to go to the cold palace if you want to come." ”
The corners of Concubine Jian's mouth rose, smiled softly and bitterly, and said, "Good sister, if I don't go to the cold palace, won't we have to continue fighting for the rest of our lives?" ”
I gently stroked the wet hair that Concubine Jian had attached to her face, and Concubine Jian's "good sister" made my sad tears overflow in my eyes, and I didn't look at Concubine Jian and hid my tears.
"You exert your strength, when you give birth to a child, the grievances and grievances between us will be written off," I shook Concubine Jian's slender hand.
Concubine Jian nodded with tears in her eyes, and Wen Po said happily: "Niangniang, come out quickly, work harder!" ”
I glanced at Concubine Jian happily, her painful face was distorted, and her mouth was low, and Wen Po showed her head from the covered brocade and said in surprise: "Niangniang, the child is out, come out, just work harder, after this time, I will enjoy the blessings in the future." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, so that I could stand firm, I smiled and glanced at Concubine Jian and said, "It's okay, I'll be able to see little brother soon." ”
Suddenly, the steady woman said anxiously: "Oh no, Niangniang, it's stepping on Padmasambhava." His face was sweating from nervousness, and his voice was not loud, but he had palpitations when he listened.
"What?" Fleur and I were surprised to say it almost at the same time, this.... Although I have never given birth, I also know that it is a reverse birth, and the child's foot comes out first.
How is this good, I have no idea for a while, the emperor should have gotten the news now, presumably he won't come, who did it.
"Protect the child, do you hear it, protect the child." Jian Concubine said angrily, "What's the use of keeping my broken body, this child is my life, and, Sister Jin, I want to ..... Goodbye, the emperor. ”
Wen Po nodded and said, "Niangniang, then let's hurry up, if we delay any longer, I'm afraid the child won't be able to save it." ”
Wen Po invited me out, saying that I couldn't see this kind of scene.
I took an umbrella and rushed out, I was going to find the emperor and beg him to come and see Concubine Jian. I didn't dare to walk, I was afraid that if I walked slowly, I would never see Concubine Jian again.
Listening to the little young man of the Yangxin Palace, he said that in the afternoon, Ruguifei would come to invite the emperor to come, I didn't hesitate to go straight to the Yongshou Palace like a concubine, and said in my heart: "Yujue, you must hold on, you must ......." In a hurry, the umbrella in my hand was blown away by the wind, and I didn't bother to pick it up.
The palace maid who guarded the Yanbo Hall saw that I was embarrassed, and when I explained my intentions, the palace maid was reluctant to pass it on, and said arrogantly: "What does she care about Jian Concubine, this time the emperor and the concubine have already taken a nap and rested, we can't afford to disturb the emperor and the concubine for a sinner!" ”
I stroked my wet hair and said, "You little palace maid dare to talk to this palace like this, but you are also a palace maid in the palace of the concubine, I don't know how my sister can ** such a rude slave!" ”
When the palace maid heard me scolding her, she lost her arrogance just now, and had to stop me and refuse to let me in.
My nameless anger came out, and I kicked the palace maid very hard: "This palace has no time to take care of you, it's best to get out of the way obediently!" The palace maid was in pain, and looked at me with an embarrassed face on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Jin has something important to see," I knelt directly outside the door after kicking the palace maid and shouted in a raised voice.
The door of the hall squeaked open, "Sister Jin?" What's wrong with this, and what's the matter with braving the rain? I looked up and heard the lazy voice of the concubine, dressed in a gold satin bandeau and a white gown over it, revealing the snow-white skin in front of her neck and chest.
"If the concubine is auspicious, this time I came to Concubine Jian, Concubine Jian is already in labor, Wen Po said that it was difficult to give birth, Concubine Jian hopes to meet the emperor..... "I am not humble or arrogant.
Ru Guifei took a look at the gauze on her body and said, "If this palace is not mistaken, you and Concubine Jian have always been at odds, how can you ..... for her?"
Before I could speak, Concubine Ru glanced at the palace maid who was kneeling and was kicked by me, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her words changed: "How can such a gentle person as Concubine Jin still do it, hehe.."
"Ru'er, what's wrong, I just seem to have heard Concubine Jin's voice." The sound of Yongyan just waking up came from the room.
Rugui Concubine said gently: "Your Majesty, it's Concubine Jin, I don't know what happened to Concubine Jin's sister, and the concubine is also asking." ”
I knelt in the rain, the slightly cool rain made me unable to open my eyes, "Yongyan, Concubine Jian is about to give birth, Concubine Wen said that it was difficult to give birth, Concubine Jian wants to protect the child in her womb, please Yongyan or go to see Concubine Jian!" "I kowtowed on the cold tiles.
I will not easily call him by name, and if the concubine is present today, I will have the heart to fight with her.
Yongyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Yujue, you go back, I won't go to see her, I will treat her child well." Yongyan's voice revealed desperation.
"But....." Before I could open my mouth, Yongyan's voice came from the other side, "I have loved her for four years, but she killed my prince, I have been merciful to her, if you are begging me to let her see her, I will let her die a good death." The words rang in my ears, and the words poked into my heart.
Ru Guifei said lightly: "Know the times and be Junjie, you go back." Then he turned and departed, and the doors of the temple were closed, keeping me out of the rain outside them.
I wiped a handful of tears and rain angrily, even if it was a bitter pleading, there was no point, I got up and rushed back to Changchun Palace.
When I arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace, I heard a sharp baby cry, I happily entered the house, Fu Hui held my cold hand and said: "Niangniang, why is it so cold, you are back, what about the emperor?" Fleur shook her head when she saw me, and immediately understood.
I lifted the curtain and walked into the inner room, where there was a swaddling baby beside Concubine Jane's delicate body, with a faint breath, just staring at the child.
I quietly wiped away my tears and pretended to be happy and said, "Congratulations sister, is it a prince?" ”
"It's a little Gege," Shoudong said softly, and I carefully picked up Xiao Gege, and a warm feeling of love welled up in my heart.
Concubine Jian said in a weak voice: "It seems that the emperor will not come, am I dying?" ”
"Maybe the emperor is busy with government affairs, and when you get well, the emperor will definitely come to see Xiao Gege and you." I said comfortingly.
Concubine Jian shook her head and said, "Give her a name, I beg you, this child will be handed over to you after I die, you are still young and can't raise her, just find a better Eniang for her, I'm afraid that my identity will affect her future,"
I nodded with tears in my eyes, "Let's call it Xueci, Xiao Gege will definitely be a beautiful and kind woman when she grows up." ”
Concubine Jian nodded, sighed and said: "Creation makes people, I didn't expect that the person who accompanied me before I died was you, you have to be careful like a concubine in the future, you are not her opponent at all." ”
I cried silently and took Concubine Jian's hand and said, "You can't die, my identity is yours, and you are Yujue." ”
Concubine Jian didn't seem to hear me, and said to herself: "Am I getting ugly now, the emperor said that I am not the innocent little girl I was four years ago, I still want to dance the wide-sleeved fairy dance again, to show the man I love, but it's a pity ......"
When Concubine Jian said the word "pity", she choked in her throat and slowly closed her eyes.
Xue Ci, who was originally quiet, suddenly howled and cried, Shou Dong and several palace maids knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, I hugged Xue Ci tightly, and the tears finally fell.
Yu Jue, the man who said he loved you and loved you the most refused to see you until you died.
In the spring of four years ago, the catkins on the shore of Taiye Lake were flying, and there was a woman dancing lightly, like the moon flying Qiong, and the butterfly powder was in the first tune. The woman's face is like a peach blossom, and her smile is like a year of water, and there is no going back.
Jane Concubine Guan, 薨.
