Chapter 72: Re-promotion
On the way back, Zhao Nuoqing was full of doubts in his heart.
Why did the queen suddenly apologize to her?
Could it be that because the prime minister was dismissed and investigated, the hatred in the queen's heart disappeared, so her conscience was discovered?
Just as he was thinking, suddenly, a heavy and deep bell rang throughout the palace.
Zhao Nuoqing was stunned, turned around stiffly, and looked in the direction where the bell came.
Jin He and Jin Miao, who were following him, were also stunned for a moment, and then Jin He suddenly said in a deep voice: "It's the death knell!" ”
Jin Miao said in surprise: "Who is it...... Yes? ”
In the palace, except for the emperor and queen and the queen mother, I am afraid that no one is qualified to let the death knell sound.
The bodies of the emperor and the queen mother are extremely tough, and the rest is only ...... The queen is alone.
……
Empress...... It's gone!
One thing happened one after another, which plunged the entire harem into a deathly silence.
The queen mother also fell ill because of sadness, and the emperor was also depressed, and he didn't enter the harem for a long time, and only occasionally went to Lingyun Pavilion to sit.
Concubine Yi and Concubine Jin have always helped the queen to assist in the six palaces, and the queen's funeral is still handled by the two concubines.
Until the queen's coffin was carried to the imperial mausoleum, Zhao Nuoqing was sullen.
Now that the queen is dead, and there is no one to threaten her life anymore, she should feel relaxed and happy.
However, she did not have such thoughts in her heart, on the contrary, she felt very sad.
Whether it is Concubine Shu or the queen, if she didn't know them, or if she was still a forgotten little talent, Concubine Shu and the queen were just high up to her, maybe she couldn't talk to someone in her life, then she wouldn't have such thoughts.
However, these people, they had really appeared by her side, or arrogant, or domineering, or coerced her, even so, she could not look up to the sky and laugh heartily, she only felt extremely sad in her heart, and even sighed.
However, she also knew that Concubine Shu deserved it, and the queen threatened her father's brother's life because of the resentment in her heart, so she was only slightly sad for a few days before she recovered.
Doctor Xu said that if he is in a bad mood, it will affect the child in his belly.
Since there is no heavy burden on her body, Zhao Nuoqing only feels that her mood is a lot better, and the days pass extremely fast day by day, the summer solstice and autumn come, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for her to give birth.
Before this, Xu Cairen first gave birth to a princess, and Lin Cairen and Guan Cairen were also three months pregnant.
There is no concubine in the palace, and all of a sudden, there are more heirs, and no new life has been born in the palace for a long time.
Every time she mentioned this matter, the Queen Mother gritted her teeth with hatred, feeling that she only gave poisonous wine to Concubine Shu, which was really cheap for her!
Zhao Nuoqing didn't know when she gave birth to the child, she only remembered that a second before she fainted, her lower abdomen was like being twisted by a knife, her eyes were black in pain, and she fainted in pain.
When she woke up again, she saw that the mattress and bedding on her body and under her body had been cleaned, and she had been scrubbed and changed into clean clothes.
Then I saw Jin Miao, Jin He, Moon Shadow, and Yuexia being busy going in and out.
Suddenly, Jin He found that she was awake, and while she stepped forward to check, she excitedly asked people to notify the emperor and the queen mother.
Zhao Nuoqing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his voice was already dry and hoarse at the moment, and the voice he made was like an ancient old man.
Seeing this, Jin He hurriedly stepped forward to reassure: "Master, don't worry, our second prince is healthy!" This son is breastfeeding at the nurse's place, the emperor was supposed to stay here to guard you, but was driven back by the queen mother, saying that you have just given birth and your body is weak, and the emperor's dragon qi is too heavy, which will hurt you, and now the queen mother is looking at the second prince in the side hall! ”
Zhao Nuoqing nodded, Jin He said a lot, she only heard the first few words.
She gave birth to a little prince, and she is very healthy!
As soon as the words fell, there was a slightly noisy footsteps outside, Zhao Nuoqing looked up, and saw that the emperor suddenly appeared at the door, and then strode in, his eyes were full of joy and distress.
Zhao Nuoqing was puzzled: "Weren't you driven out by the Queen Mother's ......?"
She stopped talking in time and didn't say the remaining words.
Seeing that Shen Bochen's cheeks were slightly red, he said: "The queen mother didn't let me stay in the hall, saying that before you woke up, I was afraid that I would hurt you, so I waited outside the hall, this is no problem, right?" I sent Su Quan to guard outside the house, and when I heard the letter you woke up, I immediately reported it to me, and I couldn't wait to rush in! Qing'er, you've suffered! You have made a great contribution to me and my Dazhao! ”
Zhao Nuoqing's face was said to be red, so she thought about changing the topic, she hadn't seen her child yet!
"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to see the child!"
As he spoke, there was another sound of footsteps outside the house, and he heard Mama Lan laugh and say, "It's coming!" The second prince is here! ”
The queen mother walked at the forefront with the second prince who had just eaten in her hands, and when she entered the door, she was not surprised at all when she saw the emperor sitting on the edge of the bed.
Also, the emperor walked around outside the Lingyun Pavilion, afraid that he would step on the bluestone bricks one after another.
How did the Queen Mother not know? It's just up to him!
The Queen Mother lovingly walked to the side of the bed and put the newborn baby in her arms into Zhao Nuoqing's arms.
She looked down and saw that fat doll with slightly reddened skin and a small mouth that seemed to be only the size of an adult's arm, she thought, was born by her?
He's so good-looking.
As soon as the little doll saw Zhao Nuoqing, she began to babble, and Zhao Nuoqing immediately took back the hand that had just been stretched out, and looked at the people standing in the room in embarrassment and panic.
Mama Lan is an experienced person, and the emperor was also brought up by her at the beginning.
I heard Mama Lan smile and say: "The second prince is so smart, he recognized her mother at a glance!" Look at our second prince, he's still laughing! ”
Zhao Nuoqing looked at the babbling little doll and found that he didn't seem to have any intention of crying, presumably, that was the meaning of happiness.
She couldn't help but feel a little proud, and said in her heart: That's nature, this is what she gave birth to herself!
In the Qingran Pavilion, the little princess Jiale had just eaten milk and was sleeping quietly in the cradle, and Yan'er walked in lightly from the house.
Seeing this, Xu Cairen beckoned Xiyue to come and take care of Princess Jiale, while he walked outside and listened to Yan'er's news of coming back.
When she heard that the emperor had been waiting outside the Lingyun Pavilion until Zhao Nuoqing woke up safely, a pair of slender hands were clenched tightly again!
She hatefully thought: Why is Zhao Nuoqing so lucky to give birth to a prince! And what she worked so hard to give birth to was just a princess!
When I thought about it later, the princess is good!
Since the child was born, she has also seen it, and now that she has the princess by her side, she will no longer be alone!
Shen Bochen gave the second prince a name, called Jing An, Jing Cong is the Jing character of the eldest prince Jing Xiao, An, is to hope that he is safe and sound.
Zhao Nuoqing likes this name very much, in this world, there is nothing more important than peace and security!
After Zhao Nuoqing finished his confinement, he was not far from the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is different from previous years, because there were too many unpleasant things in the first half of the year, but the second half of the year gradually continued to do good things, so the emperor and the queen mother discussed, it should be added to some happy events.
So it was decided that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the concubines of the entire harem would be promoted according to their merits and demerits.
Zhao Nuoqing was among those who were entitled.
