Chapter 400: The First Merchant of the Royal Family

The room was stuffy, and Yuan Xi's eyes widened, and he could only see Aunt Yu and Mother Zhong yelling at her. Aunt Yu also had a layer of sweat on her face, and looked at Mother Zhong anxiously.

"If you push harder, you'll be coming out. ”

Yuan Xi looked at her, his eyes were a little blurred, and his waist was sore, as if he was about to break. Suddenly, she screamed, and there seemed to be a foreign object in her body that had detached from her mother's body. Immediately, she heard Mother Zhong's cheers, and Aunt Yu also cried happily.

"It's a prince, a healthy little prince. Mother Zhong shouted at her: "Niangniang, how loud do you hear the little prince crying?"

Yuan Xi looked at her weakly, watched Mother Zhong cut off the umbilical cord, washed the blood of the newborn baby with water, gradually wrapped it in a thin quilt, and hugged it to Yuan Xi.

The baby was small, only weighing five pounds, Aunt Yu leaned down and touched the baby's cheek, his little face was red and hot, like a freshly cooked red-skinned egg.

"He has no teeth. Won-hee smiled, causing a pain in his lower back.

"Children are born toothless. Aunt Yu said with a smile.

Mother Zhong put away her smile and said solemnly: "Aunt Yu, now that the prince has been born, you can take advantage of the night to go out of the palace and take the prince back to the Wei Mansion, the emperor has already arranged it for you." Let's just say that Niangniang is in labor suddenly, and you are going back to Weifu to go to Laoshan Ginseng to give Niangniang a hanging. ”

Aunt Yu hugged the child and froze for a moment: "No, if you want to take him away, you shouldn't hug him." This is the eldest son of the emperor, how noble his status is, how can he grow up among the people?"

Mother Zhong said urgently: "Aunt Yu, it is not easy to save the prince's life at the moment, what do you care about the eldest son and the second son?"

Yuan Xi pushed Aunt Yu and said softly: "Aunt take him out of the palace first, anyway, the two children are siblings and similar in appearance, so we will find a way to change them back in the future." ”

"Yes. Aunt Yu nodded and took the child out.

Rong Zhan had been looking forward to this child for a long time, and when he saw Aunt Yu coming out with a baby in her arms, she hurriedly greeted her. The father couldn't get enough of the child, and Rong Zhan hugged him, as if he was hugging the rising sun.

Aunt Yu looked outside the palace, the sky was not very bright, and Aunt Yu said: "Your Majesty, let the courtiers take the prince away, it will change later." ”

Rong Zhan stared at the soft doll and said, "This is the eldest son, and if you want to find a way to get it back in the future, you will name the prince Xiao Yu." Yu, bright also. ”

"Xiao Yu, it's a good name. Aunt Yu hugged the child tightly, and the imperial physician Wang fed the child a little soothing soup. The baby licked until it was a little bitter, wrinkled, and swallowed its little tongue.

"Knock the prince into a small wooden box, and if you encounter a city gate to check it, take my token out of the city. Rong Zhan took the pass token from his sleeve and handed it to Aunt Yu, and asked Qin Shun to send her.

There was silence in the room for a moment, Rong Zhan subconsciously wanted to go inside, Wang Nianen hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Your Majesty, before the second son of the emperor is born, you still can't go in, this is the rule." ”

Ling'er brought a basin of hot water to the room and asked Zhong's mother, "It's time to wake up the people in the palace, right?"

Mother Zhong nodded: "The Queen Mother will also go over there to say hello." ”

Rong Zhan waved his hand: "Everything else is a trivial matter, hurry up and send someone to invite Wen Po." ”

Mother Zhong quickly threw all the blood-stained white cloths she had used before into a basin and took them to the backyard to bury them. Back in the dormitory, Ling'er had already arrived with Wen Po.

Wen Po quickly checked Yuan Xi's condition, and they were a little puzzled, this prince is about to show his head, why did he think of calling Wen Po?

Yuan Xi glanced at Wen Po and said weakly: "It's because Bengong doesn't understand, and when the pain is really unbearable, he remembers to call someone." ”

Yuanxi took the responsibility over, and Wen Po didn't say anything, so she had to give Yuanxi a step down: "It's not surprising, the queen mother is the first child, she has no experience, and it is common to miss the hour, but the mother doesn't have to worry, the slaves and maids are all veterans of midwifery, and they will definitely be able to help the mother give birth smoothly." ”

The little palace maids of Zichen Palace were groggy and beaten from the bed by Ling'er, and they were startled when they heard that the queen was in labor. At such a critical time, they slept so deeply, if the emperor blamed them, how many heads did they have enough for the emperor to cut off?

Wen Po stretched out her hand to probe and said to Mother Zhong: "Niangniang has been breaking the water for a long time, right?"

Mother Zhong was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Wen Po helped Won-hee's knee and pressed it on her stomach a few times, and a piercing pain hit her abdomen, and she couldn't help it for a while and screamed.

Mother Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand: "Niangniang, for the sake of the little prince, you must hold on." ”

A few Wen Po were a little puzzled, this was just the beginning, how could she say such a thing, as if she knew that the queen would not be able to stand it. After only a while, a few stable women believed that Zhong's mother's worries were not unreasonable. With their shouts shaking the mountains, the queen couldn't exert any strength.

"Niangniang, don't just shout, you work hard, if you don't work hard, the prince will suffocate in his stomach. ”

Mother Zhong hugged Yuanxi's upper body and shouted, "Niangniang, if you work harder, you must not give up." ”

Won-hee leaned on her arms, but she felt exhausted, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Mother Zhong's eyes were impatient, if Yuanxi couldn't give birth to this child safely, then another child who had been sent to the people would have no chance of survival. If the mother and child die, the children of the people will not be able to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors for the rest of their lives.

"Niangniang, for the sake of the little prince, you hold on a little more!"

I don't know how long Mother Zhong shouted like this, Yuan Xi vaguely heard the door knock, and Aunt Yu returned to the dormitory with a box in her arms.

"Haven't you given birth yet?" Aunt Yu asked Zhong's mother.

Mother Zhong shook her head: "Seeing that I am exhausted, Aunt Yu, what can I do?"

Aunt Yu hurriedly opened the box, and inside was a small celadon bell containing ginseng pieces. Mother Zhong pinched a piece and sent it to Yuan Xi's mouth, and said, "Niangniang, it's Aunt Yu who is back." ”

Aunt Yu changed shifts with Mother Zhong, stepped forward to support Yuan Xi's body, and said, "Niangniang, the Queen Mother is already outside." Thousands of pairs of eyes in the entire Chu Palace are staring at you, you must not relax at this time, the little prince is still very weak, he will not be able to save him except relying on you at this time, if you fall, he will not survive. ”

I don't know if it was because the ginseng film played a role, or if he was stimulated by Aunt Yu's words, Yuan Xi held back his strength from somewhere, shouted hysterically, and fell heavily on Aunt Yu.

"It's going to be like this, it's going to be again. A few women shouted.

Aunt Yu whispered in Yuan Xi's ear: "The emperor named the little prince, called Xiao Yu, Niangniang, for Xiao Yu, for Xiao Yu, you try again." ”

Xiao Yu, Yu Zi, Hitachi, the Son of Heaven is the day, the person established by the Son of Heaven is the important weapon of the country, and the prince is also. Rong Zhan hoped that she would give birth to a prince of the country to Da Chu.

"The Emperor's ......"

She struggled down as hard as she could, and the force seemed to split her in half, and she screamed in pain. She fell heavily on Aunt Yu, like a dying fish.

"It's born, the prince is born!" the women cheered. The palace maids in the palace bowed down one after another: "Slaves and maids congratulate the queen on her joy." ”

gave birth to her second child, Won-hee was already exhausted, so drowsy that she couldn't hear what the palace maids said. She only remembered that Rong Zhan ran towards her, and he seemed to say something to herself happily, but Yuan Xi only felt the sound of waves in her ears, and the darkness surged towards her like flowing water, and there was silence.

The queen mother saw that she gave birth to a baby boy, and her heart fell to the ground, and the emperor finally had a successor.

"Your Majesty, give the prince a name. The Queen Mother hugged her grandson, and her face bloomed with joy. The next generation met very cordially. It's a pity that the first emperor couldn't see the birth of this child.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor had already given the prince a name, called Xiao Yu. Aunt Yu smiled.

The Queen Mother looked Aunt Yu up and down, and said with a smile: "You are the Yu family, the head mother of the Wei family." ”

Aunt Yu lowered her head slightly and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, the courtesy is none other than the Yu family." ”

The Queen Mother stared at her for a while, and said, "The Wei Mansion has a merit in finding medicine for the mourning family, and you are also a merit in taking care of the queen." According to the mourning family, it should be rewarded. ”

Rong Zhan was taking care of Yuan Xi, but when he heard the Queen Mother say that she wanted a reward, she turned around and said, "What does the Queen Mother want to reward?"

The Queen Mother stared for a long time and said: "Wei Dongshu already has an official position, and if you look at the mourning family, you can give him a knighthood." Weifu was loyal to the monarch and patriotic, so he was named a loyal marquis, and his wife Yu was crowned a first-class marquise, and the bounty was golden. What does the emperor think?"

Rong Zhan said with a smile: "Since the queen mother said it, I should allow it." ”

The Queen Mother looked down at a box of ginseng slices on the table, pinched some in her hand, and sniffed it. I felt that the taste was a little different from the ginseng slices used in the past, and the taste was particularly strong.

"Doesn't this look like an ordinary wild ginseng?" said the Queen Mother.

Aunt Yu blessed her body and said, "The Queen Mother Mingjian, this is indeed not an ordinary wild ginseng. It was the husband of the courtier's wife who bought it from the northern country, and seven taels were ginseng, and eight taels were treasures. This old ginseng is even more rare, weighing nearly a catty. The husband said that the queen's mother was weak and was afraid that when she gave birth, she would be exhausted, so she asked the courtiers to bring this treasure ginseng into the palace and hang her strength for the mother. ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "It's rare, it's really rare." ”

Aunt Yu said with a smile: "If the Queen Mother can see it, the courtiers will go back and ask the husband to go to the north to buy for the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother laughed loudly for a while, put the ginseng piece in the box, and turned to look at Rong Zhan: "Emperor, Yu's words have reminded the mourning family." The mourning family wants to reward the Wei Mansion with one more thing. ”

"What does the Queen Mother want to reward?" asked Rong Zhan.

The Queen Mother looked at Aunt Yu and said: "The Wei Mansion has been doing business for generations, looking for treasures but not hiding them privately, loyal to the monarch and the country, and it is really a model of business. How about asking the emperor to give him a gold plaque?"

"What's the word?" Rong Zhan asked again.

The Queen Mother raised her chin slightly and said, "The first merchant of the royal family!"
