Yu'er has been lying down for the summer, because she is pregnant, she is very afraid of heat. Chu Sheng felt sorry for her, so he asked the Internal Affairs Office to supply ice to the palaces in advance, and even ordered the Jinxiu Palace to use it first. Because it was earlier than in previous years, the ice reserves of the Internal Affairs Office were not enough, and in addition, the Splendid Palace had to receive more every day, and the rest of the palaces could only share less.

In the Yingyue Palace, Chen Lixin complained while shaking her fan: "She is delicate, as if no one has ever conceived a child!" ”

Li Xiyue, who was on the side, sneered when she heard her say this, and said sarcastically: "If you have a stomach, don't you see that you are delicate!" ”

Chen Lixin didn't care and continued: "Niangniang, you just let her give birth to this child?" ”

"What else can I do if I don't let her go? If you have the means, you can do it. ”

"!" Chen Lixin had no choice but to put the fan on the table.

"Okay, don't worry, I'm afraid that someone is more anxious than us at the moment, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, she is safe and can raise the child is unknown. But you hurriedly think about how to win the emperor's heart! ”

"What can I do if the emperor doesn't come?" After saying this, the two of them were silent, thinking that the emperor had not entered the gate of Yingyue Palace for some days!

In the middle of summer, the blazing sun seems to roast the earth. Yu'er couldn't lie down on the bed anymore, and it was Su'er's birthday in a few days, and she was racking her brains to think about what to give her a gift.

In the evening, Shiyu'er couldn't sit still and wanted to go out for a walk, but now she was busy persuading her, saying: "Little master, you have a big belly, and it's so hot outside, don't go out!" ”

"If I don't go out for a walk, I'm just afraid I'm going to get sick!" Saying that, I don't care if I want to say it again, and I walked out with a big belly.

In the middle of summer, the breeze is warm, the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the clouds a faint pink, and the air is mixed with the fragrance of flowers. Unconsciously, he walked to the Butterfly Palace, and since the last goodbye, he hadn't seen Xin'er for a long time, so Yu'er walked in with Jinxin.

"Why is my sister here? Didn't it give you a good rest? Xin'er saw Yu'er coming, hurriedly put down the pen in her hand and stepped forward to help.

Yu'er sat down on the embroidery stool with her hand and said, "Are you practicing calligraphy?" ”

"I'm not doing anything, I'm writing and playing!" Xin'er replied while letting the maid serve tea.

Yu'er took a big sip of the teacup, choked and coughed, and now she was busy patting her on the back.

"What is my sister doing in such a hurry?" Xin'er also stepped forward and blamed.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I'm a little thirsty after walking for half a day." said with an apologetic smile and continued: "By the way, it will be Su'er's birthday in two days, and I am worried about giving her a congratulatory gift, and the usual jewelry and jade always can't get into her eyes." ”

"Sister Su is really happy, there are always people in the palace who are worried about it!" As he spoke, he was a little gloomy.

Yu'er heard her say this and knew that she must be missing her family, and she was so sad by Imperial Doctor Zhou before, so she took pity and took her hand, saying, "You are the same as my own sister in my heart!" ”

"Sister......" Xin'er was moved to call softly, and suddenly remembered something, and then said: "By the way, Sister Su is a good piano, I have a piano score here, can you still see it?" So saying, he asked the maidservant to fetch it.

Yu'er's eyes lit up when she held the piano score in her hand, although she was not good at the piano, but she still knew it, this is the "Minghu Piano Score", which was made by everyone in the pre-Qin Dynasty, I only heard Xu'er mention it, it is said that it has been lost, but I didn't expect there to be a manuscript here.

"Where did you get such a rarity?" Yu'er asked in surprise.

"I like to read books since I was a child, and I don't remember where I got this sheet music from, so I brought it from home when I entered the palace." Xin'er smiled when she saw that Yu'er liked it.

"You've really helped me a lot, and Su'er must be so happy to see it! Then I'll give it to her first, and I'll come back to see you another day. With that, he walked out quickly with his heart.

Xin'er shook her head and shouted behind her, "Sister, don't worry, slow down......"

On the day of Su'er's birthday, because of the precedent of Yu'er, the queen took a few little masters to the Splendid Palace on her own, and because Xin'er was friendly with the two sisters on weekdays, she was also in the Splendid Palace. When the queens came, the three of them hurriedly bent their knees to say goodbye.

The queen laughed and said, "Get up, sit down, we are all here to give you a congratulatory gift!" The three of them got up and said hello one by one, and finally Xia Chongyi saluted to the three of them. Yu'er glanced at Xin'er quietly, but she didn't see anything wrong with her and put her mind at ease, thinking that she had already walked out.

Then everyone began to send congratulatory gifts to Su'er, and the queen rewarded a pair of Ruyi, gold and jade texture. Shufei is a string of coral bracelets, bright red in color, full and round. Li Xiyue sent a jade Guanyin, and Guanyin's gift is also a good sign. Chen Lixin is also the main lady now, and she should come, but today she said she was sick, thinking that she didn't want to see them. The rest of them are just ordinary jewelry.

When it was Xin'er's turn, I saw her smile slightly and said, "The concubine's congratulatory gift will be good soon!" So saying, he asked the maidservant to spread out the rice paper on the big table. Xin'er bent her knees slightly and continued: "The concubine has nothing to do, I know that my sister is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has the courage to give you a pair of words, right?" Su'er hurriedly took a step closer and replied: "It's good that the heart has arrived, I am happy with whatever you send!" As he was talking, someone from the palace announced, "The emperor has arrived!" "A room full of people is busy standing up to pick up the driver.

"Today's birthday, she is the protagonist, don't care about me, as long as she is happy!" As soon as Chu Sheng entered the door, he saw everyone and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty~~" Su'er called him shyly, Chu Sheng didn't care, he still looked at her with a smile on his face. Then he asked, "What are you all playing?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Zhuang Baolin is about to write a subtext for the concubine!"

"Oh? My harem is full of talented women. As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Xin'er, who was standing in front of the table, wearing a dark silk palace dress in lake blue, with clean and delicate makeup on her face, and a pair of big eyes that were even more smart and lovely at the moment.

Yu'er and Su'er glanced at each other, and when they saw the emperor's appearance of losing his soul at the moment, they knew that Xin'er was really interested this time. Xin'er rarely wears such a bright color, only to see her holding a pen in one hand and a sleeve in the other, revealing a white jade-like forearm, and the cuffs are even more delicate tender yellow trim. With the light movement of her wrist, the butterfly on her head swayed slightly, like a fairy flying among the flowers. After a while, four smart characters appeared on the snow-white rice paper: Huifeng and Chang!

Chu Sheng approached, looked at it seriously for a while, and praised in surprise: "I didn't know that your handwriting was so good!" Xin'er spoke, her tone was light, neither delicate nor happy, as if she was just the most ordinary person in front of her, and replied: "The emperor praises falsely!" Then he asked Su'er, "Do you like it?" Su'er nodded again and again and said, "Naturally, I like it." As he spoke, he asked the little eunuch to send it to the Internal Affairs Office and told them to frame it well.

"I am very pleased to see that you are so harmonious and blind date, Li Fu passed on my will, Jin Jinxiu Palace Situ Xu gave Rong Hua the number Li, Jin Dieqi Palace Zhuang Xin'er was a beloved, and gave the number of joy!"

The two of them hurriedly knelt down to receive the order of thanksgiving, and the rest of the people also congratulated the two of them.

Today's protagonist is still Xu'er, Chu Sheng was by her side all night, and the concubines left and returned to the palace after a while.

Yu'er saw that the moonlight was just right, and she couldn't bear to live up to it, so she said to Xia Lin: "It's still early, go out for a walk." ”

"Yes!" Charlene replied obediently.

"How's it going?" Yu'er was the first to ask.

"Although it is not common to see the emperor, compared with the original days, it is already one day and one place, and the concubines are deeply satisfied!" Yu'er saw that she said so, but in the end it was a little gloomy, she was not from a good background, and the emperor forgot about her after a while, just now I saw that the concubines were all outstanding, and it seemed that it was even more difficult to get ahead. Tonight, the moonlight is like water, Yu'er stretched out her hand to the sky, her delicate nails shone slightly, she withdrew her hand and smiled softly: "A hundred flowers bloom is the best, if you are alone, I am afraid that someone can't wait to cut the flowers." Grow long in the future, recharge your energy! As he spoke, he took Jinxin's hand and walked forward, leaving only Xia Chongyi and a cicada who were stunned in place.

Sure enough, as the two sisters expected, since Su'er's birthday, the emperor has been resting in Dieqi Palace four or five times out of ten, and Xin'er has been promoted again and again to be a happy beauty! Yu'er was naturally happy for her, and often went to her palace to sit.

After chatting on this day, Xin'er asked, "Look at my sister's belly, I'm afraid I'm about to give birth, right?" ”

"Well, it's almost there, Imperial Doctor Zhou said that there are still more than a month before the delivery period, and he has already ordered someone to prepare!" Yu'er touched her round belly with a loving face.

"In a month?" Xin'er was silent in thought.

"What's wrong? Are the days bad? Yu'er asked worriedly when she saw her like this.

"Isn't it the emperor's birthday in a month?"

"I remember what you said, and it is."

"If this child is born with the emperor one day, it will be a really good omen." Xin'er said with a look of surprise on her face.

"What a coincidence!"

"I can't tell!" Yu'er didn't take it to heart, and she was a little worried when she said this, if this child was really a prince and had a birthday with Chu Sheng, she was afraid that there would be more disasters than fate.

The annual Wanshou Festival, like the Spring Festival and the Winter Solstice, is a big day for the Great Zhou Dynasty to celebrate, and the palace began to prepare early. At that time, the emperor will feast on hundreds of officials in the calyx building, and the officials of the feudal territories from all over the country will also come to Beijing to pay tribute and present congratulatory gifts.

On this day, Yu'er was a little uncomfortable when she got up early, and her stomach ached faintly, she also had such a reaction a few days ago, and Imperial Doctor Zhou came to see it and only said that it was a normal phenomenon that she was about to give birth, and Yu'er didn't take it to heart. When Chu Sheng's feast in the Calyx Tower was over, he was supported by Jinxin to attend the emperor's inner court banquet in the Qianhe Palace.

Yu'er has participated in this palace banquet more than once or twice, and she has long been unfresh, but now she feels more and more bored with a big belly. Looking at the surrounding warblers, Yanyan tried her best to please the appearance, and she only felt tired, but such a feast could not sweep away the emperor's interest, so she tried her best to endure it. The pain in the abdomen has not been relieved since the morning, but has become more and more severe.

Seeing that his master's face was a little wrong, Jinxin hurriedly approached and asked, "What's wrong with the little master?" Do you want to go back and rest first? ”

"It's okay, just wait. The emperor is so happy not to ruin his fun! After waiting for a while, I saw that Chu Sheng was very happy to push the cup and change the lamp today, and it seemed that this banquet would not end for a while. Yu'er only felt that the abdominal pain was a little unbearable, and she knew that it would be okay to wait any longer, so she stood up with a big belly and bent her knees slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is pregnant and it is a little uncomfortable to sit for a long time, and I also ask the emperor to atone for the concubine and let the concubine go back to the palace first." After saying that, Yu'er only felt a layer of sticky sweat all over her body.

Chu Sheng didn't speak yet, but the Queen Mother opened her mouth first and said, "What's wrong with Yu Jieyu?" But it's about to give birth? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine only felt some abdominal pain, and wanted to go back to rest for a while." Yu'er's face was a little pale at the moment.

"Is it really okay? I see that your face is not good! Chu Sheng was slightly drunk, listening to Yu'er say this, showing a worried face.

"It's good for the concubine to go back and rest, the emperor doesn't have to worry!"

"Good! Then I'll send you back! As he spoke, he asked Li Fu to send a dragon to wait outside the hall. Yu'er wanted to excuse herself, but the abdominal pain was unbearable, so she had to go out along with the words, and when she passed by Su'er, she saw her worried eyes and nodded slightly to her.

Back in the palace, Jin Xin helped her lie down and asked Qiushui to pass on the imperial doctor. At this moment, large beads of sweat were oozing from Yu'er's forehead, and the abdominal pain was even worse. Zhou Mingli then arrived, and he didn't care about the number of courtesies, he stretched out his hand to put his wrist on his wrist and frowned slightly, and said, "Little master, I'm afraid that you are about to give birth, so quickly pass on the mother-in-law." ”

"What, how can it be so coincidental?" As she spoke, a sharp abdominal pain made her instinctively arch her body.

"This childbirth event can't be accurately predicted, Weichen only knows that it is in these days, who would have thought that it would really be so coincidental to be in time for the Wanshou Festival."

"But is there any way to delay it a little longer, and it won't be Halloween anymore!" Yu'er was already speaking intermittently in pain.

"Little master, when is it, you are still thinking about this, quickly pass on the stable wife, otherwise the dragon fetus will be in danger!" As he spoke, he didn't care what Yu'er said, and shouted outside: "Hurry up, please Wen Po, the little master is about to give birth!" Then he turned his head to Jinxin and ordered: "You go to the Qianhe Palace to report to the emperor and queen, the little master is about to give birth!" ”

"Yes, slave and maid are going!"

When the emperor arrived, Yu'er had already begun to shout heartbreakingly. It turns out that giving birth to a child is really so painful, as if the whole body is about to crack, who would not cherish this child in exchange for life!

Chu Sheng was walking around anxiously outside, this was not his first child, but he was more nervous than seeing the queen give birth to a child for the first time. The queen was much calmer, and persuaded while drinking tea: "The emperor doesn't have to be so nervous, giving birth to a child is like this, I'm afraid it's not so fast, the emperor has only drunk a lot of wine, it's better to sit down and drink some tea to sober up, and see the little prince in a while!" When Chu Sheng heard her say this, he stopped pacing back and forth, sat down beside the queen, picked up the teacup and took a big sip. After about an hour like this, Yu'er hadn't given birth to a child yet, and she was about to faint in pain, but she knew that if she really fainted, she was afraid that the child would be really dangerous, so she had to grit her teeth and hold on, and in the end she didn't even have the strength to scream. Seeing that there was no sound inside, the emperor couldn't sit still anymore, got up and grabbed a girl who came out to change the water, and asked loudly, "How is Jieyu?" Are you all right? The little girl was so frightened that she knelt down and replied: "Back to the emperor, Wen Po said that the little master's firstborn child is big, so it is difficult to give birth, but it is not a big problem, bear with it again, the little prince will be born!" Chu Sheng's heart finally let go of a little when he heard her say this.

After another half an hour, the cry of a child of "Wow~Wow~" finally came from the dormitory. Chu Sheng stood up suddenly, and his face showed a strange flush, which showed how excited he was at the moment. The queen closed her eyes slightly, she only felt that the smell of blood in this room was extremely unpleasant, she really couldn't help it, she couldn't help it, she couldn't smash everything in front of her, set the house on fire, or simply raise her feet and leave, but unfortunately she couldn't, she could only sit quietly, with a loving and happy smile on her face.

Wen Po took out the wrapped child and handed it to the emperor, knelt down to congratulate him, and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to Niangniang, Yu Jieyu gave birth to a little prince, mother and son are safe!" ”

Chu Sheng was happy and only knew that he was smirking, or the queen was the master of rewarding everyone present, and came to see the child in the emperor's arms, the newborn child's eyes were tightly closed, and his little face was full, and he was sleeping quietly at the moment, not knowing that he had come to this cruel world.

"Your Majesty, give the child to the nurse, and the concubine will accompany you in to see Yu Jieyu."

"Good!" Chu Sheng carefully handed the child to the nurse, lifted the curtain and entered the dormitory.
