474 Xiao Qi (three more arrived.)
This night, the Queen Mother hurried to set up a family banquet in Ningshou Palace, so that everyone could come and reunite with Hejing, who had always been tired of such entertainment, but for the sake of her husband, she had to coax her grandmother to be happy, and she had to cope with it. It's just that Hongyan vomited because of the joy, Fo'er didn't feel at ease to leave her, and she couldn't come to talk to her sister properly, and the next morning, her sister was about to leave the palace.
As soon as the cherry came early in the morning, the princess went out, and Hongyan sighed: "Where did she go, if I can find it, I want her to help me send it and respect." ”
But the Buddha really came to send her sister, but the people on the Queen Mother's side have not dispersed, the Buddha was afraid of Ningshou Palace, so she followed from afar, and finally waited for the people of Ningshou Palace to retreat, and Jing was already about to leave the palace, she just didn't want the three palaces and six courtyards to come to see each other, and the noise was a headache, so she rushed to leave early in the morning, but she didn't expect the Buddha to call her behind her.
"Why did you get here?" This sister, Hejing is loved, and she couldn't talk well last night, knowing that it was because Hongyan was uncomfortable, so she also persuaded her at this time, "Sister is leaving, you go back early, my sister will entrust Concubine Ling to you." ”
Buddha nodded again and again, opened her mouth to say something, but stopped talking, and seeing her hesitate like this, he took the initiative to ask, "What do you want to say?" ”
"Sister, the emperor misses you." Fo'er frowned slightly, and told He Jing seriously, "Huang Ama always mentions his sister, sister, how about coming back to see Huang Ama often?" ”
He Jing smiled: "You came to see me off, just to say this to me?" ”
Fo'er nodded, lowered her eyes and said, "Sister, I went to Changchun Palace to worship incense for Eniang last time, and when I met Huang Ama there, I saw Huang Ama shed tears." Huang Ama said to Huang Eniang that he failed to take care of you, and Huang Ama was very sad. ”
He Jing straightened out the tassels running in the bun for her sister, and there was something crystal dangling in her eyes, but she couldn't agree to Fu'er's request, and said with a smile: "Sister's home is in Horqin, where your brother-in-law is, where is my sister's home." Huang Ama is not sorry for his sister, nor is he sorry for Huang Eniang, Fo'er don't worry, my sister understands everything in her heart, but I am the one who got married, I am your little nephew's mother, and in this Forbidden City, it is no longer my home. ”
"In a few days, it will be the death day of the emperor's mother." Buddha said, "Sister won't stay a few more days?" ”
"I went to Changchun Palace last night." When it comes to her mother, even though it still hurts, but after so many years, there will never be such a strong pain as heartbreaking, and she understands that she is a daughter, and what qualifications do she have to ask others, always thinking about her late mother. She smiled bitterly, "What am I going to do when I stay, look at the people in this palace, and forget my Eniang completely?" ”
Buddha didn't know what to say, and he Jing patted her head with a smile: "You are a blessed child, my sister is different from you, you are so good that the concubine will be satisfied." My sister doesn't have a blessing, Fo'er will enjoy it for me. ”
He Jing said, she was about to leave the palace, her child was still in Horqin, she had to go back and wait for her husband to come home, she also knew that a few days would be the death day of Eniang, but what she could see was only the world's forgetting of Queen Fucha.
Hongyan later learned that her daughter was going to send Hejing, and seeing that the child was worried, she carefully asked the reason, and felt more and more sorry for the gentleness and kindness of the Buddha, and spent her time enlightening her, and the little girl let go of the sorrow in her heart a few days later. On the day of the queen's death, Hongli did not bring any sons, but took the Buddha to Jingshan, which made the palace people talk about it for a while.
This spring came late, when I came back to my senses, I had already hurried away, it was May in a blink of an eye, Hongyan's belly was getting bigger and bigger, on the day of the Duanyang Festival, Wei Qingtai and his wife were taken into the palace to visit Concubine Ling, and the Yanxi Palace was an endless family fun.
On the side of Chengqian Palace, because of the grace of the concubines since the beginning of spring, the gifts piled up everywhere at the Duanyang Festival were full of houses, and Mrs. Sutu came into the palace, and her daughter asked her to choose what she liked and take it out, as if it was the style of the favorite concubine.
Mrs. Sutu picked some valuable things to take away, and soon the nurse came with the little princess in her arms, the ten-month-old child became more and more robust, no longer crying, and laughed when she saw people, Mrs. Sutu held it in her arms and teased, Xin Concubine looked indifferently on the side, and when Huiyun took the palace maids to retreat, Xin Concubine asked her mother coldly: "This is not your granddaughter, you also like it?" ”
Mrs. Nasutu was startled, looked up and looked around, and Concubine Xin said coldly: "Don't worry, it's all gone." ”
She stepped forward, and the little princess was smiling at her, but Concubine Xin was indifferent and disgusted, frowning and said: "She is really getting stranger and stranger, Princess Hejing is right, this child is probably like her father, if it is like her mother, I can still look familiar." ”
Lady Sutu asked tremblingly, "What are you talking about, Princess, but your daughter?" ”
Concubine Xin shook her head: "E-niang is really good at self-deception, do you really treat her as your granddaughter?" This child doesn't look like the emperor and me, in fact, people with eyes can see that others dare not say it, the queen mother thinks it's boring to say it, and in the past, Concubine Jia opened her mouth and said, I told her to shut up forever. But the last time Princess Hejing came back, the first time she held the child, she said no, and said that the queen's daughter was her own sister at first glance, heh......" The more she said, the more excited she became, pointing to the little baby and saying, "When she grows up and grows up, she has a completely unfamiliar face, what should I do?" ”
Mrs. Sutu protected the child, as if she was afraid that her daughter would rush up to do something to the child, and the daughter became more and more excited, and seemed to have the convulsions again, Mrs. Sutu hurriedly said: "What are you afraid of, let's have another one that looks alike." ”
But I didn't know that this sentence poked the sore spot of Concubine Xin, she suddenly began to cry, shook her head and said: "The emperor doesn't touch me, how can I give birth?" That person is going to give birth, she's going to give birth. ”
Concubine Xin pointed to Yanxi Palace, others looked at the scenery of Chengqian Palace, but Concubine Xin knew that she was not even as good as a finger in Yanxi Palace, she suddenly regretted her original decision, the path that Concubine Jia asked her to choose, why didn't she choose the path that Concubine Jia wanted, if Concubine Ling gave birth to a son this time, she really had no future.
Although in the days after that, Chengqian Palace is still beautiful, but people will not forget Yanxi Palace, Concubine Ling from the discovery of pregnancy to the present, the emperor's meticulous care, almost the same as the former Fucha Empress when she was about to give birth, although the emperor is surrounded by all kinds of concubines, but Yanxi Palace is still the most important place, I heard that even a sip of water there is for the drug test eunuch to taste first.
Naturally, all this is a rumor, in fact, Hongyan lives a life that is no different from before, but outsiders can't see the situation in Yanxi Palace, so it is rumored that Hongyan is miraculous, and Hongyan spent October smoothly under the care of Imperial Doctor He.
In July, when the autumn breeze was getting cooler, on the afternoon of the Midyear Festival, Hongyan broke the amniotic fluid and began to have labor pains, and after a flurry at first, everything was prepared in Yanxi Palace, and Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu had experience in childbirth, so she quickly calmed down.
When the emperor arrived, Hongyan had already been sent to the delivery room, and according to the rules, the emperor was not allowed to enter, but Hongli wanted to take another look at Hongyan, and under the arrangement of Concubine Yu, as few people as possible saw it, he let the emperor in.
Hongyan has been tortured by the continuous invasion of labor pains and sweating profusely, but because he is too looking forward to and excited, he did not show a painful expression, and he can still laugh when he sees Hongli, and blames him: "If you have to come here, the people outside should say that the concubine is not, the emperor will go out quickly, and the people here will be bluffed so much that they can't show it, how to help the concubine have children." ”
Hongli saw that she was in such good spirits, and it was not interesting for her to worry too much, so she said a few thoughtful words, and she went out in the end. But why did he call the imperial doctor and Wen Po to him, and said with a tense face: "In case anything happens to Concubine Ling, you must protect the adult, no matter what, Concubine Ling can't be fine." ”
Concubine Yu was on the side, and said with a smile: "The emperor is too nervous, my sister is fine, where are you like this, I hope that Hongyan will go smoothly." ”
Hongli smiled awkwardly, and walked around under the window, until he found himself like this, so that everyone had to stand outside with him, and then took the Buddha to the side hall to rest, and waited, and the hour passed by by a few faint moans of pain in the room, and most of the time it was quiet and unsettling.
In Ningshou Palace, the Queen Mother sat quietly under the window, Mama Hua had already come twice, both saying that Concubine Ling was still alive, and Concubine Xin followed into the door at this time, the Queen Mother raised her eyes to look at her, and said coldly: "The emperor has been by your side most of the time in the past few months, why is there no news?" Now that she has given birth, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future. ”
Concubine Xin bowed her head and said nothing, how she had spent the past few months, and she didn't want to say it to the Queen Mother. Unconsciously, standing in front of the Queen Mother for an hour, Concubine Xin felt soreness under her feet, and finally someone ran in, Mama Hua listened in front of the door, and then came to tell the Queen Mother happily: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, Concubine Ling gave birth to a little princess, and the mother and daughter are safe." ”
The Queen Mother was stunned, and then she actually smiled, full of victorious attitude: "Just a daughter?" ”
In Yanxi Palace, the baby's cry was ecstatic, Hongli broke into the house, and the nurse carefully hugged the princess to the emperor, and said: "Long live the lord, look at it, the child who opened his eyes at birth is really rare." ”
Hongli hugged the soft little thing, for fear that he would hurt her, Buddha turned around behind him, and said anxiously: "Huang Ama, let me see Xiao Qi." ”
Before giving birth, Hongyan agreed with the emperor that if she gave birth to a daughter, counting the early death, she would be the emperor's seventh daughter, whose nickname was Xiao Qi, and if she gave birth to a prince, it was naturally decided by the emperor and the queen mother.
