Chapter 173: The Queen Gives Birth

Alas, the two ladies in this palace are more resentful than ghosts. ”

"Who said no, the queen mother is much more merciful, I heard that Shi Guiren sealed the concubine position, and the queen mother also said that it is not easy for many people to survive in the palace, and the emperor sealed their positions and rewarded them, which is excellent, saying that the emperor should have done this a long time ago."

The queen mother of Jingren Palace is not having a good time.

When the sun set on the other side of the mountain, night covered the entire Chen Kingdom.

It was a very quiet night, after the handover of the palace maids and eunuchs of Jingren Palace, the palace maids on duty at night stood at the second gate and looked at the moonlight in the sky.

The moonlight was very dark that night, and there was not a single star.

The moon hung in the clouds like a dusty cloth, as if the wind was blowing and the moon was about to disperse.

The queen has reached the month, and the due date is still five days away.

The imperial doctors have already arranged shifts, and as long as Jingren Palace needs it, they can dispatch people to prescribe and diagnose the pulse for twelve hours a day.

According to the rules, the two midwives selected from outside the palace have been in place, and they live in the side room in the backyard of Jingren Palace half a month in advance, so as to deliver the queen and the concubines.

I heard that one has 30 years of experience in midwifery, and the other has 40 years of midwifery experience.

It's an old employee.

Before staying in Jingren Palace, the Queen Mother called the two grandmothers to Cining Palace, and also told them that Jingren Palace's fetus was not trivial, so they must be careful.

The two grandmothers knelt in the Cining Palace and said that they would not dare to slack off.

The Queen Mother held a meeting with the doctors of the Imperial Hospital, and asked them to just come up with the means of their lives, no matter what good medicine they used, to ensure the safety of the queen and the concubines.

On the night of November 12, Jingren Palace was really busy.

Not long after the unitary time passed, after the queen mother ate a piece of cold cake, she faintly felt a stomachache and scrubbed her body with warm water, and the pain became more and more serious.

Imperial Physician Zhang served the queen throughout her pregnancy, so she naturally knew how powerful it was. Fortunately, before the queen mother was about to give birth, the palace had already rehearsed many times.

Gui Yuan hurriedly pulled up the heavy curtains, while asking the palace maid to prepare warm water, scissors and other things, while helping the queen mother to lie on the spacious soft couch, and asked the little eunuch to call the mother who delivered the baby.

Mama hasn't arrived yet, but Concubine Wei has arrived first.

"Is my sister going to give birth?" Wei Concubine held her round belly, looking very worried about the queen.

The queen's forehead oozed beads of sweat the size of beans, and her face was sallow against the high soft pillow.

Originally, her stomach hurt very much, and when she saw Concubine Wei coming, the queen's heart was also panicked. It's like a child trafficker coming.

"Sister, don't worry, I have already told those two grandmothers, when my sister gives birth to a child, they will say, the child is mine, I will treat my sister's child well in the future, and I will not let him suffer a little grievance. When the time came, he became the crown prince, he ascended the throne as the emperor, and his sister was the queen, and he was also promoted to the queen mother. My sister's great kindness, I can't repay it in this life, and I will repay my sister in the next life as a cow and a horse. ”

"But...... If you are pregnant for ten months and have nothing to say, ......"

"Sister rest assured, my sister has already thought of a countermeasure."

"What countermeasures?"

"When the time comes, let Imperial Doctor Zhang say that my sister is not pregnant, but has fluid in her abdomen, so she has a big belly and poop, and he misdiagnosed it."

"But ......"

said that the doctor misdiagnosed, and the doctor was afraid that he would not be able to do it in the palace.

The queen is always unbearable.

"Sister, when you come to this point, there is no way back. At Doctor Zhang, I will give him a thousand taels of silver, which is enough for him to support his family. Besides, the emperor is merciful, and when the time comes, our sisters will intercede for Imperial Physician Zhang, maybe he can still be on an errand in the palace. ”

Beads of the queen's sweat dripped down her lips.

She silently gritted her teeth, thinking about Concubine Wei's words.

After she became pregnant, it seemed that there was a thread that kept leading her forward.

Her IQ is not as good as that of Concubine Wei.

Now, there doesn't seem to be a better way.

After all, if she doesn't do what Wei Concubine wants, Wei Concubine will look for death and life, and then not only will her only sister be gone, but the Wei family's face will also be gone.

The queen's heart was a little heavy.

Imperial Physician Zhang knelt outside the curtain and whispered, "The minister is willing to obey the queen's wishes." ”

"I'll do what Concubine Wei wants in a while."

"Yes."

Although the imperial physician was reluctant to let the queen suffer such a grievance, he could not disobey the queen's intentions, so he could only sigh secretly in his heart.

There was a smile in the corner of Wei Concubine's eyes.

"Oops—my stomach hurts." Concubine Wei wore her cotton bag and lay down beside the queen: "Sister, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth." ”

"Ahh Wei Concubine shouted.

The painful voice of the concubine came out of the main hall, and the palace maid and eunuch held a basin of water and a towel and secretly prayed, praying that she and the queen could give birth to a child safely.

The queen's stomach also hurt badly, but the concubine Wei was wearing a cotton bag and lying beside her and screaming in pain, and she shouted very realistically, but she couldn't get the queen. For a while, she just watched Concubine Wei shouting, she forgot that there was a sound, she just gritted her teeth and endured it silently.

The beads of sweat the size of the bean wet the queen's brocade robe, and the dark purple brocade robe embroidered with daffodils was dripping with sweat.

Gui Yuan silently took a cotton handkerchief to wipe the sweat on the queen's forehead.

When Concubine Wei saw it, she picked up the tea on the small table and splashed it on her own face.

Concubine Wei's hair, face, and neck were covered with tea, as if she was sweating.

The queen frowned and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh that her sister was talented.

Wei Concubine's pain seemed to be ten times heavier than her.

On the delivery bed hangs a long red veil.

According to the previous training session, this red yarn was suspended from the beam of the house and used for production.

If you don't have the strength to give birth, you can pull this red yarn and sit up hard.

Before the queen could touch the red yarn, Wei Concubine had already wrapped the red yarn around her wrist and moaned: "It hurts, sister, I'm dying of pain, I'm dying." ”

The midwife came over and counted the objects brought by the palace maids one by one, and on the wooden plate were two bowls of inducing soup, as well as rolling pins, scissors, cotton cloth and other things.

Chen Guo has the custom of drinking the soup that gives birth.

When the poor people worship the Buddha before their deaths, they will drink a bowl of fragrant ash soup, which is regarded as giving birth.

Of course, the lady in the palace does not use this set, but uses the medicinal materials that are born, and they are ready for use after being boiled by the Tai Hospital.

The queen drank the birth soup with Wei Concubine, and Wei Concubine was in pain.

Instead, the queen froze and quietly watched the performance of the concubines.

Gui Yuan saw that although the queen was sweating in pain, she didn't squeak, and she was very distressed: "Queen Mother, if it hurts, you can scream, don't bear it." ”

The queen nodded silently.

When a woman gives birth to a child, it is almost a ghost door.

Kangxi's wife, Empress Xiaochengren, her daughter Princess Heshuo Wenke, and the original partner of the great poet Nalan Xingde, Lu, all died in childbirth.

When the Queen Mother heard that Jingren Palace was about to give birth, she sat in the main hall of Jingren Palace with her little crutches.

Through the heavy curtains, hearing the high voice of the concubine, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh: "How difficult it is to open branches and leaves for the royal family." When Concubine Wei gives birth to a child safely, she should also be promoted. ”

I didn't hear the queen screaming from beginning to end, and the queen mother asked again: "Why doesn't the queen squeak?" Did you faint in pain? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the queen mother is gritting her teeth and insisting."

The queen, who usually can't help drooling over a piece of pastry, can grit her teeth and insist at the critical moment of giving birth.

The Queen Mother was a little moved.

In the end, it is the daughter of the Wei family.

The Queen Mother kept fiddling with the Buddha beads in her hand, and asked Aunt Guan to incense Guanyin Niangniang.

But after waiting for more than two hours, the queen and Wei Concubine still failed to give birth to a child.

The two midwives knelt out: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother...... I'm afraid it's a difficult birth. ”

"When I delivered King Yue back then, it was also the two of you, and the mourning family believed in your craftsmanship. The womb of the queen and the concubine is related to the lifeblood of Chen Guo, and now the lifeblood of Chen Guo is in the hands of the two of you, and the mourning family is only allowed to succeed, not to fail. ”

The midwife is ruthless, so she can only use a rolling pin.

There was a smell of blood inside the curtain.

The midwife had blood on her hands.

Bright red blood sprayed onto the heavy curtains, and the beige curtains were red one by one, like winter plums.

The midwife raised a rolling pin and put it on the queen's stomach: "Niangniang, you bear with it, the slave will roll your belly for you." ”

The cold rolling pin fell on the queen's stomach, and the queen's stomach twitched, and she was a little scared.

The midwife pressed the queen's bulging belly with a rolling pin and rolled it down, and the queen couldn't help crying because of the pain and fear.

Large swaths of blood flowed down the queen's body.

The warm blood, gurgling outward, wet the cushions, wet the queen's brocade robe.

The blood flowing out of the coo is like the life of the queen, little by little, the queen's face is getting whiter and whiter, and her lips are white, because she endured the pain, she has not screamed, but now she wants to scream, but she feels that she has no strength in her body, and she is lying on the wide bed like a ghost, looking up to see the beige white tent hanging low, and the red veil is floating to make people sleep.

The queen felt that her eyelids were so heavy that she was about to fall asleep.

In his ears was Guiyuan's voice: "Queen Mother, don't sleep, Queen Mother-"

Imperial Physician Zhang checked the queen's pulse through the curtain, and he was also frightened: "The queen's blood is not good, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold ......"

Concubine Wei looked at the queen's bulging belly, and then looked at the queen who gradually wanted to close her eyes, and couldn't help but grab the midwife's arm and whispered, "Are you two okay?" If the queen has three long and two short, I am afraid that the two of you will not be able to get out of the palace gate. ”

"Slave maid...... The slave and maid should do their best, but when they delivered the wife of the prince's family in the city, they encountered a difficult birth, and they were born after rolling it out, but the queen mother could not give birth to this fetus, it can be seen that the queen mother will not use force, the queen mother, you have to sit half-sitting, grasp the red yarn and work hard. ”

The queen only felt that her eyes were becoming more and more chaotic, and the voice of Mama was floating in her ears, as if it were real and illusory, and she tried to grasp the red yarn, but she did not have any strength in her hands.

Gui Yuan's eyes were red on the side: "You two can't deliver babies, but the queen can't use force." ”

"Slaves and maids have delivered so many mothers, and no one is as hard as the queen, and there is no way for slaves and maids."

"Don't say it, you guys keep rolling it quickly, no matter what, you have to keep the royal bloodline." Wei Concubine gave the midwife a look.

The midwife understood in her heart, and held the rolling dough and pressed it on the queen's stomach.

Hearing Gao Rang say that the queen of Jingren Palace was about to give birth, and the midwife had already gone to serve, Du was relieved.

Chen Guo is backward, there is no modern delivery conditions, at this time the woman gives birth, and half of the mother and child can be safe, even if it is burned high incense.

She was worried about the safety of the queen, and went to Jingren Palace at night, where she happened to meet the queen mother and several concubines sitting in the palace.

The imperial doctor in the hospital was so anxious: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother has a difficult birth, and now she has lost too much blood." ”

"Your Majesty, the midwife is watching inside, and the ministers have boiled a medicinal soup for the queen to boost qi and replenish blood, and now the medicinal soup has also been poured down, but the woman gives birth to a child, it is not an overnight thing, if it can't be reborn, I'm afraid it will ......."

The emperor came, and a female half-fairy who danced the great god in the courtyard danced even more happily.

This is the atmosphere group produced by Chen Guo.

The female half-fairy held a red drum in her hand, wore a black robe barefoot, painted red and yellow on her face, and beat the drum in her hand while jumping, chanting words in her mouth: "The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother manifest her spirit, drive away evil spirits and shelter, the evil spirits go away, the heavenly spirits are spiritual, and the earth is spiritual..."

When the emperor was there, there were few such feudal superstitions in the palace.

When is it, when the life and death of the queen mother are uncertain, the female half-fairy is still here, and she almost stepped on Du Zhiyan, if it is placed in normal times, she will scold her twice.

Du Zhiyan also thought that the female half-fairy was noisy, and only gave the female half-fairy a cold look, and the female half-fairy was still quite eye-catching, so she packed up the red drum and ran away with the burden.

When the concubines saw that the emperor had arrived, they saluted one after another.

The queen in the curtain was lying quietly with a weak breath, and the voice of the concubine shouting pain was wave after wave: "Queen Mother..... Queen Mother....... I'm going to die of pain....... it hurts so much......"

Concubine Wei shouted in pain, and she seemed to be fine.

It's the queen, I can't hear her movements, I'm afraid that there will be more than luck.

Gotta go in and have a look.

Du only said that he was going to lift the curtain.

Before the curtain opened, a bloody breath came to my face.

The concubines had already grabbed Du Zhiyan's robe.

"Your Majesty, although it is dangerous for a woman to have a child, it is also the path that every woman must take, and the emperor is a man, so he cannot enter. lest they collide. ”

"Yes, the emperor, the woman has a lot of blood and light in childbirth, the emperor is the Son of Heaven who is the Ninth Five, the Son of Heaven is precious, and the emperor can't go anywhere where there is a disaster of blood and light, your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon's body."

Hell blood light.

Du only said that if he was afraid, he would pinch the eldest aunt every month.

Now the queen is afraid that it is dangerous, and she can't ignore the queen's safety.

Before the emperor went to Beiding, he also specially told Du Zhiyan that she was optimistic about the queen's fetus, and she could not live up to the emperor's trust. Now this child, if she can protect it, she wants to protect it, and if she can't protect it, she still wants to protect it.

Du only said that he insisted on visiting the queen, but the queen mother couldn't sit still: "Why doesn't the emperor listen to persuasion, the queen and Wei Concubine are giving birth, if the emperor goes in and is infected with blood, he will be guilty, if the emperor has a good one, what should the people of Chen do?" ”

Du only said a word.

and he spoke of the people.

Every time he talks to the people, the emperor will obediently comply.

Fortunately, Du only said that he was a fake emperor.

The Queen Mother wanted to kidnap the people, but she didn't kidnap them.
