The Lu family is one of the eight great families of Haoyue Kingdom, and it is also a great family with a history of hundreds of years.

In a five-entry house in the west of the capital, a mother-in-law with a bitter expression stood restlessly at a corner door rubbing her hands and glancing out of the door from time to time.

Soon there was a knock on the corner door, and the mother-in-law hurriedly went over to open the door, and the man guarding the corner door had a relationship with the mother-in-law, so he did not embarrass the mother-in-law.

When I opened the door, I saw an old doctor with almost gray hair standing at the door panting, and the mother-in-law didn't care about etiquette, so she didn't even have time to say hello, so she directly pulled the old doctor's medicine box and hurried to the backyard.

The old doctor shouted again and again: "Slow down, slow down, the old man is about to lose his time." ”

The mother-in-law didn't look back, as if she could save a lot of time in this way, and replied anxiously: "Slow can't be slow, the fifth lady has been in childbirth all night, and she can't regenerate, what can I do." ”

Thinking that it was a matter of human life, the old doctor finally closed his mouth and wanted to continue complaining.

Who doesn't know that Lu Mingxuan, the fifth master of the side branch of the Lu family, is elegant and handsome because his mother is a good-looking Qingqi, so he is elegant and handsome, and he won the favor of the wealthy businessman Wen who came to the capital to do business, and finally was forced by his mother to marry a merchant girl and got a lot of money, just to pave the way for his brother and sister.

Now Lu Wuye's brother-in-law Lu Mingyuan has climbed into the Lu family's grandson branch and has become a four-rank official with real power, and his sister Lu Jingsi has become the side concubine of the emperor and his mother, and she still has a pair of children with real power.

And Lu Mingxuan himself is a clerk of the Qingshui Yamen, so the Lu family in this Xicheng side branch is not reused, if it weren't for the daughter-in-law Wen's strong dowry, I am afraid that their family would be suppressed by their mother-in-law like the concubines of the rest of the houses, and they would not even have any dignity.

Now that the Wen family is about to give birth, the whole Lu Mansion does not have a trace of joy about the arrival of a new life, but it is quiet everywhere, if it is not for the Wen family has always been generous, today I am afraid that it will be difficult to find someone to go out of the house to ask for a doctor.

Lu Mingxuan's mother-in-law is another family Qin family side branch of the Miss Yan, since she was a child, she has followed her mother to oppress her brothers and sisters, she is a sweet-hearted person, after getting married, she is even more different from her sister-in-law who oppressed her husband Lu Tianqiao's concubine and the rest of the concubine's children, and did not let the children of the concubine get in touch with high-end education, just let a few children go to the Lu family's clan school for a few years.

The Lu family has a total of six children, except for the eldest Lu Mingyuan and the second Lu Jingsi, two of whom are concubines, and the rest are concubines, if it weren't for the Qin family's birth Lu Jingsi injured his body and couldn't regenerate, Lu Tianqiao's concubine had no chance of giving birth at all, but the later concubines were pregnant with either miscarriages or gave birth to children who couldn't survive, and the old lady of the Lu family came forward to knock on it, and there were four concubines including Lu Mingxuan.

The third master of the Lu family, Lu Mingchao, and the fourth master, Lu Minghan, were all born by the girls in the room, and later reluctantly promoted to aunts, but the status is very low, the fifth aunt is even more embarrassing, and the last sixth is the youngest girl Lu Jingxin, and the only aunt was born from a good family. But they are all diligent and conscientious people, Mrs. Lu held her breath, and she was dismissed, and began to eat fasting and chant Buddha without asking about the world.

Wen's should have been produced at the beginning of next month, the Wen family is a famous silk merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, there is money, although the Wen family is also a concubine, but it is the youngest child, so it can be regarded as a collection of thousands of favors, plus the Wen family looked at Lu Mingxuan at the same time, but also through the name of the Lu family to make the business more prosperous, so the Wen family is also very generous to the foreign daughter, in addition to the marriage in the name of the marriage to send 500,000 taels of silver to the Lu family, but also gave the Wen family almost 100,000 taels of dowry, it can be said to be very rich.

But he also suffered from the 100,000 taels of dowry of the Wen family, and when the roadside concubine married into the Chengwang Mansion, she only brought a dowry of 50,000 taels to the past, and a concubine's daughter-in-law actually had a dowry of 100,000 taels, isn't this hateful?

Therefore, after the Wen family married in, she was set up every day and taught that it was the duty of a daughter-in-law, that a woman should teach her husband and children, that she should be filial to her in-laws, that she should love her sister-in-law and concubine, that she cared for her nephews and nieces, and that she was forced to hand over her dowry.

One will be the sister-in-law almost a little cloth, one will be what jade pendant the little son likes, and the other will be what supplements the roadside concubine needs, so that the Wen family has to take out the dowry again and again, and also reward the next person, in just one year, Wen's dowry has gone to nearly one-third.

This made Wen, who had been favored and spent a lot of money since childhood, a little frightened, and at the same time, he began to refuse all kinds of reasons for asking for her dowry, after all, Wen's own child was about to be born, and if they let them go down, within two years, her dowry would be gone.

Therefore, when Mrs. Lu once again gave birth to her niece and needed to find a piece of Hetian jade as a headdress, she didn't have time to buy a suitable one, and Wen's dowry happened to have a piece, so when Wen "borrowed", a room of people took it for granted that Wen should take it out, Wen refused.

And made it clear that her dowry would not be "borrowed" in the future, and when the people who asked them to "borrow" Wen's dowry would return the dowry as soon as possible, after all, her child was about to be born, and it would cost a lot of money.

The faces of the people in the room are not good-looking, after all, in their opinion, although the Xicheng Lu family is a side branch, but the Lu family is one of the eight great families of Haoyue Kingdom, and a merchant girl like the Wen family can marry in It is a high incense, and the dowry of the Wen family should be shared with them, not to mention that they are just "borrowing", as for when to pay it back, they have not thought about it at all, after all, it is a family, where can they be so angry.

But they completely forgot that the side branches of the Lu family are as many as cattle in the capital, if it weren't for the surname Lu, they wouldn't even be able to compare with the ordinary magnates, the Lu family's current big mansion still got the 500,000 taels of expansion and renovation, the Lu family's uncle's errands and the money for going out to socialize, and the dowry of the roadside concubine were all taken from the 500,000 taels.

Wen's dowry is already theirs for them, and now Wen's doesn't even "borrow" it, but lets them pay it back, isn't it a joke?

Therefore, the Qin family was charged with "disrespecting the mother-in-law and contradicting the eldest sister-in-law", and asked the Wen family, who was about to give birth, to kneel at the gate of Qin's Yihua Courtyard for one day.

After going back, the Wen family launched a difficult birth, but unfortunately Lu Wuye went out on business and followed the people from the yamen to check the poll tax and did not come back.

When the maid beside the Wen family begged in front of the Qin family, the maid beside the Qin family deliberately closed the door of Yihua Courtyard, and the girl of the Wen family had no way to ask for help, and there was no pair of cards that could get out of the house, so she couldn't even get out of the second door, and ran back to the Tianshan Courtyard where the Wen family was crying anxiously.

Although Wen's nurse has limited knowledge, she has been in a wealthy merchant and knows that money can make ghosts grind, so she asked the maids and mothers-in-law in Tianshan Courtyard to go out and ask for a doctor, and found a few rough mothers-in-law who had given birth to take care of it.

The people in Tianshan Courtyard are like headless flies, and even the courtyards of Second Master Lu and Third Master Lu have begged, but unfortunately everyone knows that the Qin family is determined to rectify the Wen family, and the old lady Lu has long stopped asking about the world, and they can't enter the courtyard of the old lady Lu.

And Wen's was about to lose his strength at this time, but fortunately, Wen's nurse Yu mother was experienced, so she prepared the ginseng soup early, and kept hanging Wen's energy.

The grandmother led the doctor to Tianshan Courtyard quickly, and Wen's maid hurriedly took the doctor into the house.

Yu's mother looked anxious: "Doctor, please take a look at my wife first, she has been having seizures since yesterday afternoon." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, let the old man take the pulse first." The old doctor walked over, took the pulse diagnosis pillow in the medicine box, and after Yu's mother opened the corner of the curtain and put Wen's hand flat, the old doctor began to carefully diagnose the pulse.

The Wen family has already been fished out of the water, with a tired face, but also a lot of regret, why didn't he hold back his anger at this time, and had a conflict with the Qin family for that little thing outside his body, Xianggong was not at home, if the child had three longs and two shorts, she really couldn't forgive herself for the rest of her life.

Wen obviously felt that the child in his belly was getting weaker and weaker, so he pleaded with a crying voice: "Doctor, please save my child, he hasn't opened his eyes to see the world yet." ”

"Madame, please relax, the child is nothing serious, Madame's fetus is very good, this time it should be affected by external forces, it was born prematurely, but the child is basically full-term, but it has not yet reached the time when the melon is ripe, so it will be dystocia for a while, the old man will prick a few stitches for you, let Wen Po push the acupoint for you, and the child will be born soon."

The old doctor's words were like reassurances, so that the people present finally put their minds at ease.

After that, the old doctor prescribed a prescription and asked people to grab the medicine, and at this time, the Qin family already knew that the Wen family's people had invited a doctor, and they couldn't pretend not to know anymore, so they sent a maid over to look at it, and conveyed the words of going to Tongbing when they were born, and left.

The Qin family has always been a person with a sweet face and a bitter face, and he will not leave a handle for others, so when Wen's subordinates go to grab the medicine and boil the medicine, no one is embarrassed anymore.

Wen, who drank the oxytocic medicine, ushered in heart-rending pain again, but Wen didn't shout out, she wanted to leave that breath and use it when the child was about to be born.

At the same time, when the Wen family experienced the first motherhood, the concubine Niangniang in the palace was also in the delivery room, screaming heartbreakingly, and the emperor was also nervously walking around outside the delivery room, this is not the first time the emperor has been a father, but it is the second time that his favorite woman has given birth, the eldest son of Qi Guifei, the three-year-old second prince Xuanyuan Lang also looked at the delivery room with a serious face.

In the afternoon, in the glow of the sky, the sixth princess of the royal family was born.

At this time, Wen used all her strength to give birth to her first child, a beautiful little girl.

It's just that the little girl just snorted softly a few times, and then fell asleep.

Wen thought that the child was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "Doctor, is my child bad?" ”

The old doctor hurriedly took the tightly wrapped bun, looked at it carefully, and then said with a smile: "This little girl is in good spirits, her calves are strong, and her body is strong, but now she is sleepy, and when she wakes up, I'm afraid she will be hungry." ”

Yu's mother also smiled: "The little lady is really big-hearted, and she still sleeps so soundly." ”

The old doctor also saw such a beautiful little girl for the first time, and said again and again: "This little doll will be blessed in the future, look at this sunshine, the little doll is really good at picking the time." ”

When Wen heard that his daughter was fine, he let go of that breath and fainted directly, so frightened that several mothers-in-law inside hurriedly shouted: "Madame has fainted." ”

The old doctor hurriedly checked, and then his face was a little bad, and Yu's mother also sank in her heart, and hurriedly stuffed the little doll to the nurse, and pulled the old doctor to the side: "But my wife is not good?" "When a woman gives birth to a child, she is passing through the ghost gate, and she can't complain about her mother's worries.

"Although Mrs. Lu Wu raised very well in the early stage, but this premature birth and dystocia is really bad, in recent years, I can't have children, otherwise it will affect the number of lifespan, but Mrs. Lu Wu is still young, if you meet a famous doctor in the future, you still have the opportunity to add younger siblings to the little doll." The old doctor didn't say it explicitly, if Mrs. Lu Wu wanted to have another boy, I was afraid that it would not work, at least his medical skills could not save Wen's life when Wen was pregnant.

The old doctor looked at the delicate little doll again, a little pity, not that the doll is a female doll, but a pity that their mother and daughter are afraid that they will suffer in the future, how can there only be one concubine in the Lu family, and the younger brother is afraid that there will be a bunch of them in the future, and this little doll will have to suffer.

Yu's mother originally thought that Wen's was in danger and prepared for the worst, but when she heard that she couldn't have children for the time being, Yu's mother's heart was always stable, as long as Wen's was fine, the little lady was fine, and she would find a famous doctor in the future, the Wen family had money, and were you afraid that you wouldn't find a good doctor?

Yu's mother made her own decisions and gave the old doctor fifty taels of silver, and the grandmother-in-law and his wife who found the old doctor also got a reward of twenty taels, and the rest of the people in Tianshan Courtyard were five taels each, and a few mothers-in-law in the delivery room were ten taels, and the maids and mothers-in-law in the rest of the yard were envious.

The birth of the sixth princess was accompanied by Xiaguang, so the sixth princess was named Princess Xiaguang as soon as she was born and was given the name Xuanyuan Ni'er.

On the second day, the lord of the Qin Heavenly Prison made a speech in the court on the auspicious omen of yesterday's glow: "Your Majesty, yesterday's glow is a good omen, and it is the heavens that bless my Haoyue Kingdom." ”

Which of the ministers present was not a human spirit, and after the Qin Tianjian was making the Lord say the auspicious omen, everyone knelt down and shouted: "God bless Haoyue, the emperor is sage, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Emperor Xuanyuan Haoran was of course overjoyed, and shouted three times in a row: "Good, good, good, all Aiqing is flat." ”

Guifei Niangniang gave birth to Princess Xiaguang, and she is the emperor's heart, and there are two princes, of course, some people want to pat themselves, the concubine Niangniang is from one of the eight great families of the Qi family, the daughter of the Qi family, noble status, and much favored, if it is not for the fact that Empress Yuan is the emperor's wife of the dregs and has helped the emperor ascend the throne, otherwise even if Empress Yuan is also from one of the eight families, she will also be abolished.

Therefore, under the gesture of the Qi family, many ministers asked to set up Qi Guifei as the imperial concubine, after all, it is such an honor to be able to give birth to a princess with auspiciousness, of course, the emperor himself also wants to establish Qi Guifei, but the Yuan family is not a vegetarian, although the Yuan Queen is not favored, but the Yuan Queen has the eldest son and two princesses, and is dignified and virtuous, how can the Yuan family be willing to suffer this loss.

Yuan Tang, the current head of the Yuan family, is the uncle of Empress Yuan, and he is a person with very good skills and reputation, and he was about to be moved when he saw the emperor.

Yuan Tang stood up and said loudly: "The minister has something to ask your lords, please ask the emperor for permission." ”

The emperor was a little worried about the empress's uncle, they were just too carried away, and they even ignored the Yuan family, a ruthless person who looked kind, but in fact, once provoked, he would never recover.

The emperor touched his nose a little stupidly, and deliberately increased the height of his voice, as if this could suppress the weirdness in his heart: "Yuan Aiqing, please speak." ”

The ministers who yelled the most also suddenly seemed to be dumb, quietly waiting to be asked.

Yuan Tang asked rhetorically: "Is the queen responsible?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, although the queen was too dignified and looked at everything, but this was just a model for the lady of the main room.

Yuan Tang continued to ask, "Is the queen sick?" Or is it unfair? Can't be in charge of the housekeeping of the palace? ”

Everyone continued to shake their heads, the queen was in good health, she was not harsh on the concubines and concubines, she strictly followed the rules, and she could pay for it herself if she wanted more.

"Then the queen has no heirs?"

Everyone shook their heads even more, the queen has a son and two daughters, which can be regarded as relatively capable of giving birth.

As soon as the Qi family heard Yuan Tang's words, they knew that it was difficult for Qi Guifei to be an imperial concubine, after all, this Yuan Guifei's position was really too strong.

Then I heard Yuan Tang snort coldly: "Since the queen has not made a mistake, has the ability and energy to deal with the internal affairs of the palace, and has three children, what qualifications do you have to slap the queen in the face and let the queen share half of the authority, the imperial concubine, that is the position that will be established when the queen is immoral or the queen is not competent to be in charge of internal affairs, and now Qi Guifei has just given birth to a child, and she will be the imperial concubine, so if Qi Guifei has three children like the queen, is it necessary to let Empress Yuan give up the position of queen? My Yuan family also has to make way for the Qi family? ”

These words are not to be taken lightly, if you slap the queen in the face and slap the Yuan family in the face because of favor, even if the Qi family is the same as the eight great families, the emperor will not be able to bear it.

The Qi family's face is not good-looking, after all, it is the same thing, but it is still very embarrassing for ambition to be said so nakedly and tear his face with the Yuan family.
