Chapter 15: Orange Creek's Birthday
The next day, the emperor deliberately took Orange Creek out of the palace, saying that it was her birthday, and took her out to relax. From the emperor's accession to the throne to the present, no concubine has ever won such an honor.
Sitting in the carriage out of the palace, Orange Creek was so excited, and the carriage traveled for a long, long time. A fragrance came to her nose, she lifted the curtain, her eyes were full of spring, and a sea of flowers came into view. "Wow! It's so beautiful! I've never seen such a big field of flowers. ”
"Do you like it?" The emperor looked at the Orange Creek full of surprise.
"Of course, it's a fairyland." Orange Creek played with the fluttering butterflies with her hands, happy as a rabbit.
The carriage stopped suddenly, "Your Majesty, it's here." "The eunuch reported.
Orange Creek couldn't wait to jump out of the car, and the emperor also followed, he retreated, took out a box, put it in Orange Creek's hand and said, "Today is your birthday, I want you to have a happy day, this is a birthday gift for you, open it and see, do you like it?" ”
Orange Creek opened the box and screamed, "Wow! Camera, is this a camera? I didn't expect to see this kind of thing here, it's great! ”
"Camera, this name is good, it will be called a camera in the future, I heard that this is a Western photographer, it is very peculiar, click, the figure was photographed in, only this one, specially left for Yingying as a gift." The emperor picked up the camera and taught Yingying how to use it there.
"Come on, Your Majesty, I'll take a picture of you!" Yingying propped up the camera stand and began to fiddle. After playing for a while, picking a lot of flowers that could not be seen in the palace, several people had a great time moving to the carriage.
Then I went to watch Peking Opera, although Orange Creek is not too good at appreciating Peking Opera, but it is also very energetic. Later, I went to visit the lanterns together. The emperor ate rock sugar gourds with her, and took a river lightboat to swim in the lake, and at the end of the day, both of them were exhausted.
Orange Creek is already very satisfied, and it is really happy to have such a birthday here. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the palace, the emperor gave himself another surprise, and the emperor put a hundred Kong Ming lanterns for Orange Creek in the back mountain, each of which was full of blessings to Orange Creek. Looking at the sky full of Kong Ming lanterns, Orange Creek was a little moved. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for letting me have such an unforgettable birthday."
"All kinds of thoughts, just to make you smile." The emperor looked at the smiling Orange Creek, and thought to himself: I hope you keep your original intention, and you like to be clean and clean, and you don't fight or rob.
Kong Ming lanterns floated all over the sky, and every concubine saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts.
"What is the emperor doing here? Is it to be announced to the whole world? Concubine Xiang pointed to the Kong Ming lantern in the sky and muttered to herself.
The queen was so angry that she didn't eat dinner, "After I became a country, I haven't enjoyed such grace, she, a Zhaoyi, why should she favor the harem alone, and I still tie this broken cotton bag every day." The queen tore off the cotton bag from her stomach and threw it on the ground and stepped on it fiercely.
"Mother, you can't do it, you can't do it, if you are seen, it will be troublesome." Yun Ling picked up the cotton bag and patted it with her hand, "Come on, the slave maid will tie it for you, bear with it again, and the green plum will be born in two months." ”
"How is she, how are the children?" The emperor raised his arms and asked Yun Ling to tie a cotton bag for her, and asked about Qingmei's situation by the way.
"Niangniang rest assured that everything is normal, but the child is a little naughty, Qingmei said that it has been making a fuss recently." Yun Ling replied while sorting out the queen's clothes.
The emperor spoils Orange Creek every day, for Orange Creek, these are nothing, but like a child playing at home, there is nothing to care about. But she didn't know that for a high-ranking emperor, it was a great honor to be able to let go of the identity of the Ninety-Five Supreme and do this for a woman. Maybe the emperor really moved his heart this time.
There is still a month before the delivery, one day, Qingmei suddenly had abdominal pain, and the queen did not dare to rush to the imperial doctor, and after several hours of pain, Qingmei suddenly bled from the lower body, and the child was born prematurely. Yun Ling personally delivered the baby, "Niangniang, I gave birth to ......" Yun Ling vomited and reported to the queen outside the light yarn.
"Born, Brother or Gege?" The queen was a little excited, she was walking around outside the light veil, she was anxious, she stopped and asked eagerly.
"Yes...... Be...... It's an elder brother......" Yun Ling held the newborn child with her blood-stained hands, her hands trembling with fright, and her speech became stammering.
"Brother, take it out and I'll see, there is finally a child in this palace!" The queen was a little overwhelmed with excitement.
Yun Ling trembled her hands and showed the child to the queen, "Niangniang, it's a stillbirth." ”
The queen sat down on the ground and said to herself: "Stillbirth, stillbirth, is it really fate, God, why are you so unfair, I am the queen of the Qing Dynasty, can't I just let you give a child?" ”
"Mother, let's think about what to do! Do you want to inform the emperor? Yun Ling asked intently.
The queen got up from the ground, sat on the chair, lowered her head and thought for a long time, "Let's hide the matter first, how can the children of this palace be so inexplicably gone, I have to think of a plan." ”
"What about the green plum? I'm still asleep! ”
"Secretly send it out of the palace, my brother will help me dispose of it, and bring that guard with me." After the queen finished speaking, she glanced at the stillborn again, and shook her head very unwillingly.
The queen has been wondering, what kind of way to think of it? The next day, as usual, she walked in the Imperial Garden with a fake belly. As she walked, she saw Orange Creek playing with Ping'er in front of her, and she suddenly had an idea and walked towards Ping'er who was running wildly.
