After the wind and waves in the palace were quiet for half a month, it was lively again.

It turned out to be the second prince's concubine and side concubine, who were pregnant at about the same time, and after ten months of pregnancy, the front and back feet were in labor.

After the concubine Hu was diagnosed and pregnant, the journey was smooth, and even on the day of labor, she successfully gave birth to the eldest son of the second prince in less than three hours.

And the side concubine Liao since she was found to be pregnant, Rao is pampered, cared for or moved fetal gas during pregnancy, rumors in the palace say that in order to compete for favor, Liao's even pestered the second prince during pregnancy, which will move the fetal gas. Liao lay in bed for several months, not daring to move easily every day, drinking three meals of fetal pills a day, and finally survived until the day of delivery.

As a result, she was in pain for three days and two nights, almost collapsed in blood, and struggled to give birth to the eldest daughter of the second prince.

Liao glanced at his daughter and closed his eyes in a state of detachment.

When Hu gave birth, the queen came to the palace of the second emperor to sit in town.

Listening to the loud cry of a baby in the hall, the queen and the second prince stood up almost at the same time.

"The queen is very happy, and the second highness is very happy." A crack opened in the door of the temple, and a midwife rushed out to announce the good news to everyone waiting outside the temple. "The second princess gave birth to a brother, who is very strong."

Hearing this, the queen and the second prince both smiled and climbed the corners of their mouths.

Liao, who was lying on the bed with his stomach in his hand, suddenly had a throbbing pain in his stomach.

The palace maid she sent out to inquire about the news of Hu's birth came back, and the Liao family endured a burst of pain in her abdomen and stood up.

"Did Hu give birth?" Liao Shi was sweating profusely, took a few deep breaths, and then reluctantly asked.

"Back to the side concubine." The palace maid knelt down with a puff, lowering her head and not daring to look at Liao's face. "The head has already been born."

"Hu Shi is lucky, he was born in less than three hours." Liao asked. "Was she born a boy or a girl?"

"It's a boy."

"What?!" After hearing this, Liao Shi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, and she exclaimed that she couldn't hold it anymore and fell on her back.

After Liao fell, his body bent in pain.

Fortunately, the midwife given by the queen was waiting on the side, and the palace maid immediately went to invite the grandmother over.

When the midwife came over, Liao was already holding his stomach and screaming in pain on the bed, and the light-colored bedding under his body was dyed blood.

"Concubine Fang, don't move." When the midwife saw this shape, she knew that Liao was afraid that she was about to start, so she hurriedly ran to the bed in three or two steps and held Liao's body. "Concubine Niangniang, you listen to the slave maid, you have already seen red under your head, I'm afraid you're going to give birth."

"Mama?" Liao's severe pain, coupled with the knowledge that the Hu family not only gave birth ahead of her, but also successfully gave birth to the eldest son of the second prince, under the heavy blow, Liao's face was as pale as paper and ugly. "Please help me, be sure to give birth to the child in my womb."

Liao said as he raised his hand and clasped Mama's arm.

"Don't worry, the side concubine, the slave was sent here by the queen to help the side concubine give birth smoothly." The midwife is experienced, and at this time she still speaks calmly and does not show the slightest panic. "The side concubine listened to the slave maid's words, tried her best to straighten her body, and then the slave and maid will take a look at the situation."

After listening to the midwife's words, Liao gradually settled down, slowly let go of the hand that was tightly clasped by the mother, and tried to straighten up and breathe slowly.

Seeing this, the midwife got up and walked to the end of the bed, lifted Liao's dress, and carefully inspected her situation.

After seeing it, the midwife got up and instructed the palace maids in the palace to take out all the things that had been prepared on weekdays according to her daily instructions.

The palace maids and chamberlains who served in the Hu family hall received the rewards from the queen and the second prince happily.

The queen herself went into the inner sanctum and embraced the newborn child. The second prince was also very happy, because all the princes under the knee of Emperor Chu except for the youngest sixth prince, Xiao Jun, who was not yet married, the other princes all had their own children soon after they got married.

Although the fifth prince is only a girl, he at least blooms first, and sooner or later it will always bear fruit.

Look at the eldest prince who is only a month away from his marriage, his concubines have already given birth to two sons-in-law for him. And his eldest son is still the eldest grandson of Emperor Chu, and he is also the only one among the emperors and grandsons who has won the title and title, and he has many honors.

But when he came here, the main concubine, the side concubine, and the two concubines in the palace didn't even have good news.

After a few years, Feng Shui finally took turns. The side concubine in his palace was the first to get pregnant, and then only a month later, the concubine also came with good news.

Although it is gentle and coquettish, some of the arrogant concubines Hu are not as pleasing as the side concubines Liao.

But the eldest son is indeed more noble than the eldest son, and the second prince selfishly hopes that his first son can be born by the concubine Hu.

Fortunately, the heavens follow people's wishes, and the Hu family really gave birth to her eldest son.

And the Liao family, who was in labor and struggling in the side hall, no one could think of it for a while.

It was also on the second day, when Liao's was about to give birth but could not give birth for a long time, the midwife could only send a letter to the queen.

"That's it, in the end, it's also the blood of the second prince." The queen has been immersed in the harem for many years, although she has never won over Emperor Liu's concubine when it comes to competing for favor. But between the harem concubines, she doesn't know how many methods she can and can't use.

The Liao family thought that he was proud, but the queen didn't see it.

It's just that the Hu family didn't find out that she was pregnant at first, and the queen just didn't point it out for the sake of the Liao family's bloodline with the second prince.

But the Hu family later came out with good news, and the queen was also worried that the fetus in her womb did not know the male and female for the time being, and she never said anything to the Liao family, and her attitude towards the two was impartial.

But as the queen of the main palace, her attitude is actually more inclined to the second prince and concubine, and she even promised in private that if the Hu family and the Liao family are in labor in the future, when the Hu family gives birth to a daughter and the Liao family gives birth, she will give the son of the Liao family to the Hu family to raise.

However, now that the Hu family has given birth to the eldest son, it doesn't matter whether the Liao family's child is male or female.

"Jinxiu, I watched the Hu family give birth last night, and now I'm really tired." When the queen heard that the Liao family had a difficult birth, she was not going to go to see the situation, but said to Jinxiu. "Liao's side, you go and run for me, let someone take the sign of Zhaoyang Palace to ask the imperial doctor, you stay on Liao's side for me, wait for her to give birth to the child and then go back to Zhaoyang Palace to reply."

"Yes, as the Queen Mother instructs." After hearing this, Jinxiu turned her head and called the palace maid who was waiting outside to come in. "A few of you come in, the queen mother was very tired last night waiting for the second princess to give birth, and now you are waiting for the queen mother to change clothes and rest."

Liao went to the Tai Hospital, and then led the Tai Doctor to Liao's place.

The midwife didn't sleep all night, and her eyes were bloodshot and she took the imperial doctor to see Liao's.

The imperial doctor took Liao's pulse and shook his head vaguely at the midwife.

"Splendid girl, the condition of the concubine inside is not very good." The Imperial Physician came out and spoke to Jinxiu. "I wonder what the queen has planned?"

"The queen mother instructed, please ask the imperial doctor to do his best to ensure the safe birth of the side concubine and the fetus in the womb." Jinxiu then lowered her voice and said. "When necessary, you just need to keep the side concubine safe and sound."

The queen can explain this, not because she thinks that the Liao family is very important. But now that the second prince has an eldest son, it is not in a hurry to take the matter of the heir. But Liao was born in the Earl Mansion of Yongchang, and his mother was the youngest daughter of Princess Qinghe. You must know that Emperor Chu attaches great importance to blood kinship, and Liao's life is naturally more important than the child in her womb.

The imperial doctor got the order and immediately returned to Liao's side.

In the end, Liao gave birth to a girl.

When the queen heard the news, she only gave the things according to the courtesy, and waited for three days before she glanced at the girl.

The Hu family gave birth, and her palace was naturally full of people.

She needs to be confined, and she can't personally entertain a group of visitors. Most of the visitors were female dependents, and the second prince could not entertain them. The second prince had no choice but to go to the Liguo Mansion and personally took the Duchess of Liguo into the palace to accompany the Hu family.

Duchess Liguo learned last night that her daughter gave birth in the palace, and she couldn't sleep all night, and the second prince came to invite her into the palace.

After entering the palace, the Duchess of Li Guo was full of anxiety and anxiety, and when she saw her daughter with a normal face and her grandson crying loudly in swaddling clothes, she immediately disappeared.

After Emperor Chu gave birth to a son in the Hu family, he also gave a rich reward.

Emperor Liu's concubine also prepared a generous gift and took Xiao Xuan to visit the Hu family.

"Quickly invite the imperial concubine and the second princess in." Because of what Xiao Xuan said to her in the Imperial Garden that day, the Hu family's impression of Xiao Xuan is very good.

She was still resting in bed, and when she heard the palace maid report that Emperor Liu had brought her daughter to see her, she immediately got up and ordered someone to welcome them in.

What Xiao Xuan said, Duchess Liguo also heard Hu relay it. It is undeniable that her daughter's original unhappiness has indeed changed since she met Xiao Xuan that day. Moreover, since the Hu family was pregnant, Emperor Liu's concubine was also generous, and sent gifts several times.

Duchess Liguo also specially went to the door to greet the two, and after greeting the two of them, she also praised Xiao Xuan and praised her.

Xiao Xuan listened to the words of the Duchess of Liguo, and couldn't help lowering her head, revealing a shy smile.

"Where can I deserve such praise from my wife." After Emperor Liu Guifei sat down, she smiled and greeted the Duchess of the same country. "My daughter was spoiled by me and her father when she was young."

"Where is the imperial concubine?" Duchess Li Guo smiled. "Her Royal Highness the Second Princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, beautiful and sensible, she deserves to be favored by her mother and Your Majesty. Earlier, my daughter who was not angry was thanks to the enlightenment of the second princess. ”

"It's just a child's casual nonsense." Concubine Liu Huang smiled kindly and said. "The second princess is a blessed person when she looks at it, and the future will be smooth. My daughter just said it later, but she was lucky, and she just happened to be right. ”
