Chapter 15 Double Happiness Comes to the Door

The imperial concubine Zhou had just been pregnant for seven months, and she was supposed to give birth to a child at full term in mid-November. At that time, it was already very cold in the capital. The imperial concubine was worried that the confinement in winter would be windy, so she asked the palace people to arrange the warm pavilion of the side hall of Fengxu Palace in advance. Coincidentally, as soon as the warm pavilion was arranged, she gave birth to a child in advance. Now it just comes in handy.

On the south wall of the warm pavilion, there is a small and small fine-edged lattice window, which is pasted with a smoky pink shadow veil, which can not only breathe, but also keep out the dust. When the weather is cold at night, close the partition door outside the lattice window, which can just block the wind and keep warm, which is very convenient.

The imperial concubine only gave birth yesterday, and she just woke up today, and she was still very weak, but she couldn't wait, and she hurriedly let people hug the newborn little prince.

Babies born seven months prematurely are very weak.

However, the imperial concubine seemed to be prepared, not only was the warm pavilion spotlessly cleaned, but also prepared a lot of pediatric holy hand doctors, Wen Po, rǔ Niang and nurturing grandmothers to serve on the side. Now it's all coming in handy.

Looking at the child in her arms, the imperial concubine carefully looked at his eyebrows, lifted the swaddling clothes again, looked at the birthmark on his back, nodded slightly, and secretly rejoiced in her heart.

"Imperial concubine Niangniang, the fourth prince is going to breastfeed." Hongdan, the eldest palace maid of Fengxu Palace, stepped forward softly and reminded the imperial concubine Zhou.

The imperial concubine reluctantly held the child, and without raising her head, she said that the palace would feed him the first milk first. As he spoke, he asked Hongdan to close the curtain, and the imperial concubine leaned against the head of the bed, untied her middle coat, and put the baby on her chest.

The baby had exerted enough strength to suck two mouthfuls of milk, and then fell asleep again.

The women of the Great Qi Dynasty fed their babies, and they all listened to the words of the first Princess Anjun of that year, even if they wanted to use a nurse in the future, but the mother tried her best to drink the first sip of rǔ juice to the child. It is said that there is something magical in this first sip of rǔ juice that can make the baby not give birth or get sick less in the first half of the year.

After so many years, the women of the Great Qi Dynasty were convinced of this statement, so most of the babies of the Great Qi Dynasty ate the precious Chu Rǔ.

When the imperial concubine saw that the child was asleep, she didn't wake him up to continue breastfeeding, but just hugged him to her chest and let him fall asleep close to her mother's arms.

When Emperor Hongxuan visited the four princes, he heard that as soon as the imperial concubine woke up, he carried the four princes to the warm pavilion, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and started to go to the warm pavilion of the side hall.

The palace people guarding the door of the warm pavilion hurriedly curtsied, and persuaded her in a soft voice, Your Majesty, the warm pavilion is a place for confinement. Your Majesty is better not to go. ——When the imperial concubine finishes her confinement, it is not too late for His Majesty to come again. ”

Emperor Hongxuan didn't care at all, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and said that I had entered the delivery room before. - Confinement room counted? He smiled and entered the room of the warm pavilion.

When the imperial concubine heard Emperor Hongxuan's voice, she hurriedly asked people to open the curtain, smiled at Emperor Hongxuan, and asked His Majesty to forgive her sins. The concubines could not get up and give a big salute to His Majesty. ”

Emperor Hongxuan smiled and waved his hand, and said You sit down, don't wake up the child. As he spoke, he came to the bed side of the imperial concubine and sat down, leaning over to look at the four princes in the imperial concubine's arms.

The extremely small and thin black head leaned against the imperial concubine's white middle coat, and the sound of breathing was so weak that it seemed to be nothing.

Emperor Hongxuan remembered that the queen gave birth to three full-term and strong princes, and couldn't help but feel more pity for the four princes in front of him, and gently shook the hand of the imperial concubine and said, "Your child is not easy to get, give him a nickname 'Yi'er". When you grow up, everything will go smoothly, and it will be easy. ”

When the imperial concubine heard this, she felt even deeper in her heart, and choked up and said that with His Majesty taking care of him, he was already much more blessed than other children. - Yi'er is an excellent name, not only to be a small name, but also a big name. ”

Emperor Hongxuan, of course, squinted his eyes and said with a smile that after he became a prince, he would be called 'Prince Yi', which was also very bad. ”

When the imperial concubine heard this, she changed color, and she didn't care about the postpartum weakness, put the child on the bed on the side, struggled to get up from the bed, knelt down for Emperor Hongxuan, and begged; "As soon as this child was born, he was in trouble. His Majesty still wants to exalt him like this, and the concubines are afraid that he will not be able to bear it, but he will lose his life. He was born with a bad foundation, in this life, if he can grow up smoothly, the concubine will go to the Taimiao Temple to worship the ancestors and make a vow. Don't dare to hope for anything else. - Besides, the rules handed down by our Great Qi Dynasty from Emperor Taizu are that even if they are princes, they will only be crowned as kings of the county, and no prince is allowed to cross the line of kings of Anjun. If His Majesty gives him the title of prince, others don't say it, King Anjun is there, but they have no face. ”

Emperor Hongxuan really didn't think about it so much. He looked at the child's weak appearance, felt that most of them could not be raised, and thought that if he died young, he would be given the title of "prince", which was also the meaning of appeasing the imperial concubine.

But the imperial concubine is a mother in the end, and she would rather the child not be prosperous and rich, but also want him to grow up safely.

Emperor Hongxuan was moved by the heart of the imperial concubine's fist and beloved son, so he no longer insisted on what he said before, the Tao depends on you, and it depends on you. ”

The imperial concubine burst into tears and laughed, and with the support of Emperor Hongxuan, she slowly changed her sitting posture and leaned back on the big pillow.

The two talked for a while, and Emperor Hongxuan remembered another purpose, frowned and asked about your fall in the imperial garden yesterday, and the referee's room in the palace has already been decided, saying that it was a rough sprinkling palace maid on the queen's side, and she had a dispute with the aunt in charge, and in a fit of anger, she poured the oil on the bluestone road in the imperial garden, wanting to make the aunt in charge fall. Who knew that the queen suddenly asked you to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, and you became the 'scapegoat' of the aunt in charge. When it came to the word "scapegoat", Emperor Hongxuan had some sarcasm in it.

The imperial concubine hugged the four princes who were asleep on the side to her chest again, patted them gently, but said in her mouth, Your Majesty, the concubine dares to guarantee with her life, and this matter has nothing to do with the queen. - It's just a coincidence. ”

Emperor Hongxuan looked at the imperial concubine for a long time, and saw that her eyes were firmly fixed on the child, and she couldn't leave for a while, and he was even more sorry for her in his heart, and said that the queen was careless, not smarter than you, and the matter ended here. But don't worry, I won't let you suffer this loss in vain. "Right now, whether it was the rough palace maid who sprinkled and swept away, or the aunt in charge who had a dispute with her, they were so frightened that they committed suicide. - There is no proof of death.

The imperial concubine's heart moved, she looked up at Emperor Hongxuan and said with a smile, Your Majesty, this is wrong. The queen mother is a pure heart, and the concubine is the nine-hearted? I actually realized another meaning in Emperor Hongxuan's words.

Emperor Hongxuan has always been a smart person for the imperial concubine, and now his last trace of doubt has disappeared, and he is busy reassuring the imperial concubine and saying that it is I who said. Don't be angry with me. "Yizhen is the name of the imperial concubine. Emperor Hongxuan took out the title of the two of them when they were newly married, and wanted to make up for the leakage just now.

The imperial concubine understands Emperor Hongxuan very well. In his position, it is proper to doubt all those who can be doubted, even those who see it with their own eyes.

"Your Majesty, what is it? - It's good to say that there is a misunderstanding, the concubine is not a person with a small belly, and she will not hold a grudge against His Majesty for the rest of her life. The imperial concubine quipped.

Seeing that Emperor Hongxuan was a little embarrassed, the imperial concubine changed the topic casually and asked, Your Majesty, how is the draft going? I heard that the 150 high-ranking ladies who came to Beijing to participate in the re-election have been waiting in Beijing for almost two months. ”

Emperor Hongxuan was not in a hurry, he looked sideways into the warm pavilion when he heard this, got up and walked to the window, looked out the window through the smoke and pink shadow veil, and said Don't worry. The queen is definitely going to recruit them into the palace for re-election. Yan shook his head, and looked very speechless to this queen.

The imperial concubine chuckled. Whether the queen is really stupid or clumsy has nothing to do with her.

It's just that Emperor Hongxuan seems to have forgotten that behind the queen, there is also a Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, but it should not be underestimated. It's not like her mother's family was slaughtered by Empress Dowager Pang, and there is no reliable mother's family. But fortunately, there is no Pei Shufan in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and the imperial concubine feels slightly happy when she thinks about it, but she is not as jealous of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion as before.

Emperor Hongxuan sat here for a while, and then drove to the imperial study to approve the folds.

After saying so many words, the imperial concubine felt exhausted, so she also took a nap.

A few days later, when the third was washed, because the fourth prince was still very weak, he did not take it to the main hall to accept everyone's congratulations.

Pei Shufen, Marquis of Ningyuan, took the opportunity to enter the palace to wash the four princes, and personally came to the door of the warm pavilion of the side hall of Fengxu Palace, gave a big gift to the imperial concubine and the four princes, and gave a jade carving of Nanshan Immortal Weng ornament, which is a good omen for a long life.

The imperial concubine doesn't accept anything else, but this is the one that means "longevity", and she can't refuse.

Pei Shufen saw that the gift was delivered to the recipient's heart, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she said to the imperial concubine in the house, the imperial concubine Niangniang, the concubine did not disturb the imperial concubine's rest, so she retired. ”

The imperial concubine raised her voice in the house and said that Marquis Ning Yuan had a heart. Wait for the confinement in the palace to finish, and then invite Ning Yuanhou into the palace to talk. ”

Pei Shufen was busy and went to the queen's palace to say goodbye.

The queen was looking at the list of draft re-selections, very angry. Seeing Pei Shufen coming in, the queen threw the list in her hand into Pei Shufen's hands, Dao Ning Yuanhou, help the palace to take a look, do you want to take those noble girls? ”

Pei Shufen pursed her lips and smiled, carefully looked through the roster and looked at it, the queen has her own decision, how dare the concubine help the queen to make the decision? - But the concubine thought that among these people, they always had to be well-behaved if they were not from obvious backgrounds. Otherwise, relying on the prominence of her mother's family, it is enough to give the queen and the imperial concubine a headache. ”

A word reminded the queen, she took the roster, looked at it again, but this time she saw something different, and immediately drew a circle on the name of Chen Yilan, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changxing.

The following is free: wordy, as of today's latest chapter, the two main lines of this article: a bright line, a dark line are out. The bright lines will be written plainly, and the dark lines will always be written in a subtle way. Maybe in the finale, the dark line will be turned into light, or it may be like "Smoke and Cold", and it will be written in a clear article at the end, because I don't want to destroy the overall style of the story.
