Volume 3 Edge Chapter 42 The Prince
This winter, the Forbidden City seemed to be exceptionally cold. Outside the window, you can only hear the heavy snow falling continuously, and it is white. Flying snow drifted past the window, covering it in a thick layer of white.
Chunxi lay quietly on the warm couch, covered with a thick fox fur. He didn't wear his hair in a bun, his loose hair was draped over his shoulders and covered with a rabbit down hat, and not a single crack could be found. Only a white face was still outside, revealing a shallow smile.
It is getting closer and closer to the expected time of labor, and Dr. Lu said that it is a matter of these two days. She was lying on the bed, thinking that she hadn't gotten out of bed for a long time, and wanted to see what it was like outside. Naturally, no one would allow her to go out, and in desperation, Mu Hui and Fu'er had no choice but to help her sit on the warm couch. Through the window, you can take a look at the snow-white world outside.
Pregnant women are always sleepy, and in less than half an hour, they have fallen asleep deeply.
When she woke up again, it was already night, and there was more Xuan Ye beside her, who was sitting by the stove reading a book, and when she woke up, she hurriedly put down the things in her hand, sat beside her, and asked her in a low voice, "Do you want to eat something?" ”
Chun Xi shook her head, she didn't feel hungry, but Xuan Ye still asked someone to bring something in and feed her personally. I really couldn't swallow it, so Xuan Ye was willing to stop. Accompanied her for a while and coaxed her to sleep.
On the afternoon of the fourth day of the lunar month, Chunxi felt an unprecedented pain. Immediately, the midwives and imperial doctors who had been in the side hall of Yikun Palace for a long time entered the dormitory.
After the doctor diagnosed, he said that the child was about to be born, so he left a group of midwives and female dependents, and the rest withdrew.
Within half an hour, the fetus moved, the amniotic water broke, and the entire Yikun Palace fell into a state of high tension. The palace ladies went in and out, carrying basins of hot water. There was a hissing and lung-splitting shout from inside, as well as Mu Hui and Fu'er beside them pretending to be calm and calm.
They never took half a step away, and at this time, their eyes and hearts moved with them. There can't be any mistakes, and no bad people can be allowed to take the opportunity to hurt Chunxi and her soon-to-be-born child.
Outside the dormitory, Xuan Ye stood in the snow, and Liang Jiugong, who was holding an umbrella beside him, persuaded him over and over again, but it was completely useless. The man was not allowed to enter, he could not accompany his lover at such a moment, then at least, outside this wall, no matter how heavy the wind and snow, he would be here with her.
Standing outside with him was Han Ji, who could have gone in to accompany her, but before Chun Xi told her not to let Han Ji see such a scene, which was not good. Therefore, Han Ji resolutely stayed outside the door, waiting for the birth of the child.
In the main hall in front, the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, the Empress Dowager, Concubine Yun and others were also restless, accompanied by a roar, and their hearts were also uncomfortable.
Fortunately, this child did not torture his mother too much, and in less than an hour, he was born safely.
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Concubine Yi has just given birth to a little brother." Although he already knew that Chunxi would give birth to a boy, at this moment, when he heard the midwife come out to report the news, the joy from the bottom of his heart increased several times.
Xuan Ye stepped into the house in three or two steps, and Han Ji also walked in. A large piece of "slow down ......" came from behind him, and he didn't realize it.
Looking at the sleeping Chun Xi on the bed, Xuan Ye had mixed feelings. Sit beside her and gently caress her sleeping cheek.
"Niang Niang is just tired." Mu Hui said with a smile, a sentence like a reassuring pill, which made Xuan Ye's heart that had been tense fall.
Mu Hui sent the small lump in her hand to him: "Your Majesty, let's take a look at the little brother first." ”
"Wow wow......" The child's cry was like thunder, Xuan Ye took the child in surprise, held it in the palm of his hand like a treasure, looked at him gently, and coaxed him not to cry. This kind of patience is exactly what a father must have, and the moment he saw this child, he suddenly had the feeling of being a first-time father.
This child is not the eldest son, nor is it the first child he and Chunxi have, but it is the one they really protect and expect. Therefore, his arrival is enough to make everyone excited.
Han Ji stood on the edge of the bed, watching this scene and couldn't help but shed tears. Such a scene also made her, who loved decency so much in front of people, no longer have any defense.
Touched is no longer enough to explain the mood at this moment. She was so happy, happy that this child was born. His arrival was undoubtedly a gift from heaven and gave Chunxi another happy beginning.
Xiaozhuang also came in with a group of people, and when he saw the little brother crying "wow" in Xuan Ye's arms, he felt extremely funny. I had the experience of holding a child early on, but at this moment, it seems that I don't know what to do with the child. summoned Su Mo'er and asked her to hold the little brother and coax her, so as not to make the child cry hoarsely.
Where is Xuan Ye willing to let go, Su Mo'er also laughed when she saw this, and stepped aside.
Look at Xuan Ye like this, Xiaozhuang is also energetic, what is this great-grandson, she has never seen it. His grandson held the child and refused to let go. Originally, Xiaozhuang entered the door to sit on the warm couch outside, but he also stood up at this moment, and he didn't let anyone help him, so he walked to Xuan Ye's side, looking at the little one in his arms gently and kindly.
"This child is more like Chunxi, obviously a boy, but he is so soft." Xiaozhuang said, and took a closer look: "But children can't be qualified, maybe they will grow up and look different." The little one was born so handsome, and it's amazing to grow up. ”
Xiaozhuang's praise made Xuan Ye even more happy: "No matter what he looks like in the future, he is my son, and he is the blood of my love Xinjueluo family, so he should naturally have the demeanor of the royal family." Huang Eniang, please rest assured, Chun'er will definitely give birth to him. ”
"The concubine will not fail in her mission." A faint voice came from behind him.
As soon as Xuan Ye turned around, he saw that she was looking at herself with a smile, and hurriedly sent the child in her arms to her, without the appearance of being reluctant to let go just now. Moreover, as if she was afraid that she would not understand, she insisted on holding the child into her arms, so that she could see the little face as soon as she lowered her head.
With her head down, she took the child from his hand. Tears fell suddenly. His safe birth was the most beautiful thing for her. What she lost, she can finally protect it again.
It's as if time has stopped, and the happiness of this moment will never be dissipated.
"Your Majesty, do you have a name for your child?" Chunxi looked at the child for a long time before raising her head lightly and asking him.
"I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't make up my mind. In a few days, Rong Zhen will think about it. "Xuan Ye has indeed been distressed for a long time, this name is a scholar, and their son should be more attentive.
The mourning family thought of a word. Let's not talk about it today, when the emperor feels that it is still not good, he will ask the mourning family again. Xiaozhuang smiled and took people away, Chunxi had just given birth to a child, and she still needed a good rest, so many people were around, but it was not good.
On such a happy day today, it is natural that some people are happy and some are sad.
In the Chengqian Palace, Concubine Tong on the throne is still dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the pale yellow robe makes her more graceful and luxurious. The seven-headed phoenix hairpin on her head was gorgeous and exquisite, gently swaying slightly with her movements.
The fists clenched in both hands kept loosening and clenching. There was still the only glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that the imperial doctor's prediction was wrong, and that something would happen to the one in the Yikun Palace after giving birth.
But in the end, she was disappointed, not only did she not hear any good news, but she also heard the answer she least wanted.
"Niangniang, Yi Concubine just gave birth to a little brother in Yikun Palace, and both mother and son are safe."
The concubines and concubines sitting below were expressionless. They didn't speak, because they all knew that not speaking at this time was the right choice.
Endless anger came from the heart, Tong Guifei's hand clenched fiercely and then let go, and with a wave of her hand, the teacups and fruit plates placed on the table were all shattered.
"She actually gave birth to a son." She regretted it so much at the moment, regretted that she didn't have a more refreshing way to miscarry, she regretted that her heart was a little more tolerant, and she regretted why she was looking forward to an impossible fact?
The hall was silent, and no one dared to breathe loudly.
"There is also a fourth elder brother in the hands of this palace, although he is not my own child, but he must be better than her son. There is still one year, and another year there will be a chance to stand up. This year, I must let Chunxi fail. The fierce voice was almost said by Concubine Tong Guifei gritting her teeth, how much she hated and how painful, I'm afraid only she knows.
"Why hasn't your stomach moved after so long?" As soon as the words changed, Concubine Tong suddenly looked at the restless concubine on the side.
She has never dared to speak out, and when she heard Tong Guifei's question, her whole person felt cold. She also wanted to be a mother, but no one gave her this opportunity.
Although it is the same as Chunxi, he is in the concubine position, but it is different in the end. She can count the number of times the emperor has recruited her to bed. If she could also be as favored as Chunxi, maybe she wouldn't have to sit in this Chengqian Palace so aggrieved and endure Concubine Tong's anger.
"Niangniang, the concubine knows everything. The concubines have few virtues, so naturally they have no chance. However, that Lan Guiren was still pregnant with a child in his belly, and he should give birth in two months. Whether it's a man or a woman, the concubine will ask him to come over again, okay? She didn't know if Concubine Tong was satisfied with such an answer, because Concubine Tong had no other expression on her face except anger. But after listening to her words, she didn't continue the topic.
"Big brother's schoolwork still has to be taken care of, since he is not valued by the emperor, in the end, the child still has to be taught well, so that the emperor likes it." As soon as Concubine Tong's cold voice came out, Concubine Hui had no choice but to nod her head in agreement.
She was helpless, she just couldn't do it. Children are her only hope, and she naturally sees them more than anyone else.
The position of the crown prince has long been impossible, but since they are not concubines, and there is no dispute for the throne, then at least among the existing children, her son should have the appearance of the eldest son. (Palace's Gate.. /31/31987/)--
