Chapter 209: Family Totem
In the Maple Pavilion, which is full of peony flowers, the strong aroma of peony flowers wafts through. It was mixed with blood, and the nose of the prickly person was slightly fanned.
Gonggong Feng's singing made the concubines in the palace stand up, facing the Yong'an Emperor Qi Qi, who was striding in at the palace gate, to greet him.
After a waiver, the concubines sat down again.
Lingxi lowered his head slightly and did not look at Emperor Yong'an.
This is the first time since she came out of the cold palace that she has officially met Emperor Yong'an for more than a month. Lingxi's hands in the wide sleeves couldn't help but be twisted together, and his heart was a little nervous.
The nervousness of her heart was weak, and she was afraid that Emperor Yong'an would see the clues.
Emperor Yong'an's eyes first fell on Concubine Ying's body, but when he turned his eyes, he fell on the somewhat detained Lingxi.
The head is slightly lowered, the hair is slightly drooping, there is some shyness between the eyebrows and eyes, the cheeks are ruddy, and the cherry lips are vermilion. Especially the little rouge between the forehead, which makes the whole person's makeup beautiful.
Emperor Yong'an looked at the bit of rouge, and remembered that there seemed to be a time when he dipped his hand in rouge between Lingxi's eyebrows and personally lit a red flower.
Concubine Ying's beautiful eyes turned twice on the bodies of Emperor Yong'an and Lingxi, and in the fainter and weaker shouts of Xiucairen, she pulled back Emperor Yong'an's thoughts, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the birth of Xiucai has been from the moment to the current time...... The concubines don't dare to call the shots......"
"Where is the Imperial Doctor?" Emperor Yong'an withdrew his gaze from Lingxi's body and asked.
After a while, Imperial Physician Han walked out of it, knelt in front of Emperor Yong'an, wiped his sweat and said, "Your Majesty, the dragon heir in Xiucai's womb is quite large, and this is already a dystocia. Please also ask the emperor to make a decision early......"
Emperor Yong'an pondered for a while and said, "According to the ancestral system." ”
After hearing the order, Imperial Physician Han kowtowed, turned around and returned to the inner hall, knelt outside the screen of the dormitory, and sang loudly after kowtowing, "Welcome to the prince!" ”
This voice is equivalent to sentencing the talented people to death.
A little palace maid walked out of the palace, knelt in front of Emperor Yong'an, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, the talented people insist on seeing Concubine Ying's mother......"
Everyone sitting there turned their attention to Concubine Ying.
Lingxi was also trembling, and looked up at the little palace maid. She and Concubine Ying's titles have different words, in the past, it was easy to distinguish between a concubine and a concubine, but now it is the same person, which is inevitably confusing.
Emperor Yongan also looked at Concubine Ying, and said indifferently, "Since she wants to see you, she must have something to say to you." Go and comfort her, and say, I sympathize with her hard work, and she is a meritorious man of Dashun......"
Concubine Ying stood up, and after blessing Emperor Yong'an, she turned around and entered the inner hall.
Xiucai was lying on the bed, and his lower abdomen was so painful that he was already unconscious. Looking at the grandmother holding the knife beside her, she said weakly, "I want to see Concubine Ying, otherwise, I will fight to the death and will not let you use the knife." ”
The grandmother didn't dare to disobey the words of the Xiucai, so she could only rely on the Xiucai and wait for the Yingfei Niangniang in the mouth of the Xiucai to come in.
Suddenly, Concubine Ying held Su'er's hand and covered her mouth with a lake-blue brocade and came in.
Xiucai looked at the gorgeous figure in front of him and sobbed, "Sister, sister, do you remember the jade pendant that my mother gave you?" ”
Concubine Ying raised her eyebrows, put down the handkerchief in her hand and walked into Xiucairen, and asked loudly, "Sister is confused, when did your mother give a jade pendant to the palace?" ”
Xiucai was stunned when he heard Concubine Ying's voice, and his mind cleared up a little. Looking at Concubine Ying's face, Xiucai waved his thin left hand, shook his head and frowned and shouted, "It's not this!" Concubine Ying! What I want to see is Concubine Ying, the ...... who used to train birds in front of the Queen Mother."
Concubine Ying's eyes were full of doubts, but there were so many grandmothers and palace maids present, she couldn't say anything, so she could only go out.
After a while, Lingxi came in with the lotus leaf's hand.
Lingxi stood one meter away from Xiucairen's bed, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, trying not to let herself smell the bloody smell that made her sick to her stomach, frowned and asked, "What is the matter with Xiucai people calling this palace in?" Sister Xiu still has to save some physical strength, and when the child is born, it will be fine. ”
Xiucairen's eyes were already blurry, listening to Lingxi's voice, she stretched out her left hand to Lingxi, and said, "Come here, let me see." ”
Lingxi didn't want to go over, but seeing that the palace maids in the hall were looking at her, she could only walk over. Taking off the veil, Lingxi's face showed a trace of sadness, she held Xiucairen's sweaty left hand, leaned down and said, "Xiucairen has something to say to me?" ”
Xiucairen's left hand was forceful, and he grabbed Lingxi's hand fiercely. She used all her strength to get herself up, and brought her sweaty face closer to Lingxi's slightly frightened face.
His eyes widened, and when he saw that the person who came was Lingxi, Xiucai Ren breathed a sigh of relief and lay back. Xiucai closed his eyes and said weakly to Lingxi, "You come here with your ears......"
Lingxi's face turned pale, and he put his ear close to the bloodless lips of the talented man.
"Do you remember the jade pendant that Madam Situ gave you?" Xiucai said softly, "The totem on the jade pendant is our Situ family's clan Teng. Only the eldest grandson of the Situ family has ...... Sister, that's our Situ family's clan Teng, our Situ family's ......"
Lingxi's hand trembled slightly, she held Xiucairen's hand back, and asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say?" What ......"
"Shh......h The wall has ears...... Xiucai swallowed his mouth and spit, and when he opened his eyes, it was already dark, "My child, I am unwilling to die...... Sister, my child will be brought to your palace to raise ...... Sister ......"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Lingxi was stunned by what he heard.
But Xiucairen's left hand was released.
Wen Po knelt on the side and said, "Concubine Ying, Xiucai's blood has collapsed, and if you don't use the knife, the dragon heir will not be ......."
The talented man in front of Lingxi closed his eyes, and his sweaty face was lifeless.
Staggering back, the spirit rhino retreated into the lotus leaf's arms. Looking at the overwhelming blood red in front of him, smelling the pungent and nauseating smell of blood, Lingxi's eyes fell black.
"!" Lotus Ye screamed.
Lingxi's right hand grabbed the hand of the lotus leaf, and opened his eyes to look at the midwife who was about to raise the knife. She said with a pale face, "I'm fine, I'm fine." You help me out. ”
The voice of the lotus leaf came out of the hall, and Yu Concubine stood up suddenly, and said to Emperor Yongan behind him with an anxious face, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ying's body has always been weak, and the concubine will go in and take a look." ”
Xian Guifei's face was also pale, and she stood up and said, "The concubine is very worried in her heart, so go in with Concubine Yu to have a look." ”
After Emperor Yong'an bowed his head, the two walked to the inner hall one after the other.
At this time, Lotus Ye had already walked out of it with a half-hugging Lingxi without a trace of blood on his face, Yu Concubine glanced at Pan'er, Pan'er hurriedly grabbed Lingxi's other arm, and worked with Lotus Ye to help Lingxi to the seat.
Concubine Ren was surprised, "What did Xiucai say to Concubine Ying to scare Concubine Ying like this?" ”
Lingxi took the hot tea served by the lotus leaf, trembled his right hand, and took a bite. After suppressing the fear in his heart, he raised his head and smiled weakly at Concubine Ren, and said according to the words he had thought in advance, "It's not me who is called Xiucai, it's Xian Guifei...... She was already confused, and pulled me to call Sister Xian......"
Concubine Ying stared at Lingxi's body, and did not expose Lingxi's panicked words, but raised her eyebrows and agreed, "It's confused, I called the wrong person twice." Concubine Ying turned back to Concubine Xian and said, "It's you who is called by Xiucai, why don't you go in and have a look." ”
Xian Gui Concubine's eyes turned red, and she hurriedly said, "Concubine, let's go in." ”
"Just two sentences, it won't scare you like this......" Concubine Rou raised her eyebrows and said, "Concubine Ying's body is really getting worse and worse." ”
"Back to Concubine Rou's words," Lotus Ye said to Concubine Rou, "Xiucai asked Concubine Yingniang to walk to the bed, looked at it and said that the person was wrong, and then, and then the blood collapsed......"
Concubine Rou looked at the spirit rhino and saw that the hem of the spirit rhino was really stained with blood. Covering his chest and said, imagining the scene of the blood collapse, he said in shock, "Don't say it's Concubine Ying, it's the palace, and the palace will be scared." ”
"If you don't feel well, you should go back to the palace to rest first." Emperor Yong'an looked at the depressed Lingxi, and there was a trace of heartache in his tone, "Send the imperial doctor to show you and prescribe two prescriptions for shock......"
Lingxi stood up with the lotus leaf, and just wanted to thank him, he heard a baby's cry in the dormitory.
The concubines sitting there all looked at the door of the inner hall, and Emperor Yong'an was no exception.
After a while, Xian Guifei walked out with a nurse, walked in front of Emperor Yong'an, knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, Xiucai gave birth to a little prince for the emperor...... Show talent, ...... died"
The concubines in the palace, whether they were sincere or false, all picked up handkerchiefs and wiped the corners of their eyes to show their condolences to Xiucai.
Emperor Yong'an stood up, walked in front of the nurse, looked at the little meat ball with a wrinkled face and cried loudly, and a trace of warmth was born in his heart.
He put his hands behind his back and said in a calm tone, "I once said that as long as one of the five of them can give birth to a prince for me, he will be promoted to the throne of concubine. I posthumously crowned the biological mother of the eighth prince, Xiucairen, as a concubine, and allowed her to be buried in the concubine's mausoleum. ”
Xian Gui Concubine kowtowed and cried, "The concubine thanked the emperor for his grace on behalf of the concubine." The emperor ......" Xian Guifei raised her head and said in a mournful voice, "The talented people called the concubines into the inner hall, just to entrust the eighth prince to the concubines to raise......
"You have been a mother, and Concubine Xiu is your own sister, and her royal son will be raised by you, I can rest assured." Emperor Yong'an stretched out his hand to help the noble concubine up, and said, "With your care, the concubine can also walk with peace of mind." ”
Snuggled in the arms of the lotus leaf, Lingxi shouted in the bottom of his heart, and the noble concubine was lying! When she left the dormitory, Concubine Xiu had obviously passed out due to a blood collapse, and the midwife had already gone under the knife, how could Concubine Xiu say to Concubine Xian to let Concubine Xian raise her child!
Concubine Xiu obviously handed over the child to her own care......
But looking at Emperor Yong'an's pity for the child, and watching the performance of the elegant concubine singing and writing, Lingxi choked in his throat and couldn't speak.
He gently pinched the lotus leaf's hand, and when the concubines congratulated Emperor Yong'an on winning the eighth prince, they whispered to the lotus leaf, "After sending me back to the Yongshou Palace, I directly invited the imperial physician to come." ”
After speaking, his eyes closed, and he tilted his head and fell into the arms of Lotus Ye.
There was a whisper of lotus leaves in his ears, and he said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang has fainted!" ”
