Ajiu

Chapter 159
Under the gorgeous fireworks all over the sky, Ajiu and the crown prince held hands, full of tenderness.

It was a beautiful night and a night to remember for a lifetime. This was the first time in their lives that they spent New Year's Eve together, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

After the two of them had fun, they returned to the East Palace by car.After washing up and going to bed, they made out discreetly under the covers to celebrate the New Year.After being tender and lingering, they fell asleep with their necks together, and there were sweet smiles on the faces of Ajiu and the crown prince as clean as jade.

It's nice to be young.Young love is so beautiful.

The next day is Zhengdan, and there is a big court meeting, so you can't be lazy.The young couple got up early, the crown prince wore the crown of the crown, and Ajiu wore the clothes of Zhai, and went to the court meeting separately.Empress Zhang really became a loving mother-in-law, and gave Ajiu all the etiquette of congratulations. Ajiu thanked her with a smile, feeling relaxed.

After the court greetings and before the banquet, Ajiu paid New Year greetings to Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Lin, Lin Youhui, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Xu, and said hello to Mrs. Xiping and other seniors.When everyone saw her holding her protruding belly with a happy and lively face, they couldn't help laughing, "I'm going to be a child's mother, and I'm still so childish." Lin Youhui stretched out his hand to caress her belly, and asked softly, "My child? Are you making trouble? Did you sleep well at night?" Ajiu brags cheerfully, "It's all right. Mother, don't worry about anything, just wait to be a grandmother."

Princess Xiping and others expressed the hope that Ah Jiu would give birth to a brilliant little grandson.Ajiu smiled and said, "I will live up to everyone's expectations, I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations." Ajiu was in high spirits, and everyone was filled with joy.

After the banquet started, Ajiuluo sat down, and after Queen Zhang spoke, she left the banquet and returned to the East Palace. "I went to bed late last night, and woke up early this morning, so sleepy." Kuan took off his coat, went to bed comfortably, and tried to catch up on sleep.

Ajiu is probably the first princess in the palace to be able to sleep soundly during the festive season.

Leaving aside whether others have her kind of pampering, they certainly don't have her mentality and open-mindedness.

At the Zhengdan banquet, the princess left early, and no one dared to doubt her.Yasukuni made great military exploits, and his wife and the princess had a slight disagreement, so they were dispatched to the farm and have not been able to return to this day.The queen's natal sister-in-law was dissatisfied with the crown princess, she made a careless statement, and was deposed as a commoner, and could not enter the palace again for life.With these two examples, who would dare to speak again, not for their own sake, but also for their family and family.Knowing that the emperor's majesty is thinking of the emperor's grandson, why bother to use rules and etiquette to restrain the prince and concubine.The Crown Princess is really precious at the moment, she is so delicate.

"This is the only daughter of the Pei family. She is always a favorite in her mother's family. After marrying into the royal family, she will have the wind and the rain. It's really a good destiny."Noble birth, beautiful and dignified appearance, gentle temperament, profound knowledge, elegant manners, all these advantages added up, are not as good as a fate.

A smart girl is not as good as a pretty girl, and a pretty girl is not as good as a lucky girl.This has always been the case.

After the Zhengdan Festival, the palaces of the second and third grades of the junior high school began to entertain royal relatives and important officials of the court, and it was a splendid and prosperous place.On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there are lanterns everywhere in the palace, and the Aoshan Mountain outside the Meridian Gate is as high as [-] floors, decorated with gold and jade, and the lights are like star cloth, which is very extravagant.After the Lantern Festival, the year is over, and life is gradually getting back on track.

The first New Year after Ajiu got married ended happily.

In the spring, Ajiu Yue gradually grew up, but her body was not bulky, and she was still a little light. "Having a baby is a trivial matter for me!" When Mrs. Fang, Lin Youhui and others came to see her, they only heard her bragging, "Look, is your face still fair and delicate, and is your person still smart? Except My belly is bigger than usual and nothing else."

Usually the cowhide blows very loudly, but when the day comes and the engine starts, she knows what it's like to have a baby.

In the early morning of March [-]th, Ah Jiu woke up from her sleep, breathing in pain.This pain is wrong, never before!Enduring the pain, she gently stroked her stomach and asked the fetus softly, "Son, you figured it out, didn't you?" The crown prince who was sleeping next to her woke up and sat up sleepily, "Little sister, Were you talking to your son just now? Is he punching and kicking again? I play with him these days, and he doesn't pay much attention to me."

The crown prince lives a very regular life. He is busy with government affairs during the day and returns to the East Palace to accompany Ajiu at night.He likes to play with his unborn son. He often puts his hands on Ajiu's stomach and asks his son to kick him. However, in recent days, his son seems to be lazy and doesn't move easily.As a father, the crown prince felt quite neglected.

"He doesn't seem to want to play with me." Ajiu took a breath, "Brother Ten, he seems to want to come out."

The crown prince panicked, "Little sister, is your son really coming out?"

He knelt down to look at his wife's big belly, and discussed softly, "Son, don't worry, wait a moment, dad will send someone to go." After seriously discussing with his son, he kissed Ajiu on the face, " Little junior sister lie down obediently, don’t be afraid.” Ah Jiu is still a hero at the moment, giggling, “Brother Ten, I’m in good health, I’m not afraid.”

Before she could speak, a burst of inexplicable pain hit her, and she couldn't help crying.The crown prince had never seen her like this before, he hugged her distressedly, and asked repeatedly: "Does it hurt, does it hurt?" While comforting Ah Jiu softly, he raised his voice and shouted: "Come on!"

The entire East Palace was in a hurry.

The emperor sent a doctor and midwife to the East Palace early, and they lived in the East Palace and were on call at any time.The delivery room is located in the wing room on the left side of the dormitory. It is sealed, clean, and used. When there is any movement in the dormitory, the nurse and midwife will rush over to check it. They said calmly: "It's still early, don't worry. , help the princess to the delivery room."

The crown prince wanted to follow, but was stopped by the midwife, "There is no reason for a man to enter the delivery room. Your Highness, the crown prince, you should go up to the court, and when you come back from the court, maybe the crown princess has given birth safely." He supported one by one, and said with a smile: "Brother Ten has an early morning today, don't delay. Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm in good health..." Before the cowhide was blown, he couldn't walk the painful way, and his forehead was sweating.The crown prince was so distressed when he saw this, how could he bear to leave?

The servant quickly reported to Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace.Now it was Yin time, the emperor just got up, and the servants were putting on the uniform for him, ready to go to the court. Hearing that the princess concubine had mobilized, the emperor changed his mind, "I will be exempted from the court today." Instead of going to Fengtian Temple, change to Ciqing Palace .

Empress Zhang came faster than him, and she was already orderly directing, "Xiao Shi, you are not allowed to enter the delivery room, stay here with your mother. The medical lady and midwife are waiting inside, and the imperial physicians Huang and Lu are waiting in the East Palace, waiting for orders at any time." "The emperor came and surprised Empress Zhang, "What are you doing here, Your Majesty?" The emperor snorted, "I am the most blessed person in the world. I am sitting here, and no evil spirits or little ghosts dare to make trouble. , the little ten daughter-in-law will surely give birth to the grandson of the emperor in peace."

In front of Fengtian Hall, hundreds of officials gathered.When the time came, the emperor couldn't wait for a long time.Not only the emperor, but also the crown prince could not be seen.

what happened?The civil and military officials looked at each other in blank dismay.Your Majesty has always been diligent in administration, and the crown prince is even more punctual. Why did both father and son miss the morning court today?
A servant in Tsing Yi came over and said in a sharp voice: "My lord's dictation: the morning court will be canceled today, and if all the officials have important matters to announce, they will be punished by the cabinet." Yang Shoufu was the head of the cabinet ministers. The famous servant said, "May I ask Your Majesty and His Royal Highness what is the important matter to temporarily cancel the morning court?" What's the matter? This is, temporarily cancel the morning court, there must be an explanation.The servant smiled and told about the East Palace, but Yang Shoufu was speechless for a while.

Yes, Your Majesty, you are indeed the most blessed person in the world. With you in charge, no evil spirits dare to make trouble.

However, leaving all civil and military officials here...

The servant smiled hospitablely, "Boss Pei, Pei Tongzheng envoy, hurry up, His Majesty summons the two of you to the East Palace."

Elder Pei Ge and Second Master Pei hurriedly followed the servants away.

In this way, even if Yang Shoufu didn't say anything, the civil and military officials could guess what happened, and they started to talk about it, "Is the princess concubine going to give birth? Well, once the emperor's grandson is born, the country's foundation will be stabilized." "The emperor is old, and the crown prince is only nineteen years old. Although he has been involved in government affairs for a year or two, he is still immature. The birth of the crown prince at this time is of great significance.The empire needs an heir.

The civil and military officials looked enthusiastic, saying "Emperor Grandson" one by one.

No one thought about the little princess, and everyone thought it should be taken for granted.

Elder Pei Ge and Second Master Pei arrived at the East Palace and were taken to the inner hall.The emperor sat alone at the top, "Pei Qing, Zhonglang, I'll give you a seat without courtesy. I really can't see Xiao Shi's stupid appearance, so I kicked him away. You two come to sit with me for a while and talk about family matters." The crown prince was fidgeting, feeling sorry for his little junior sister who was suffering, and worrying about the suffering of his precious son. "It is so difficult for a child to be born. Tell me why." The emperor couldn't bear to see and hear, and sent him away. .

Elder Pei Ge was still as calm as ever, "Yes, Your Majesty." Second Master Pei smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, you should also drive this minister away, I guess he will look stupid after a while." The emperor was speechless for a while, " So, Zhong Lang and Xiao Shi will go as companions." Second Master Pei respectfully agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Xiao Shi, a young man under the age of 20, has no concentration. Zhong Lang is already in his 40s, so he will panic." The emperor looked at the back of Second Master Pei Qingjun, wondering.

"Zhong Lang is usually quite calm, but when it comes to matters related to his precious daughter, he will go wild." Pei Ge said apologetically.

The emperor commented: "It's still too young." Pei Ge agreed, "Isn't it true that you are only in your 40s, what have you experienced?"

Sighing at Zhonglang's youth, the emperor played a game of chess with Mr. Pei Ge.Pei Ge's usual chess skills are still very good, but today's chess game is staggered and out of order.Even the emperor, compared to usual times, is also far below the standard.

"The delivery room is the place with the most yin energy." Old Pei Ge was restless.

When a woman gives birth to a child, she steps into the gate of hell.

Girl, you have to be safe, you must be safe.

"What is the most yang?" The emperor frowned.

"A man." Pei Ge replied absent-mindedly.

man?The emperor quickly changed his mind.Men, there are plenty of men in the Pei family. Pei Kai has three sons and eight grandchildren. Standing in a row, these people must have a lot of yang energy.

The emperor decreed that all the males of the Pei family were called into the East Palace, and even Xiao Wu, who was just born, was also brought here.

When Lin Youhui entered the delivery room, Ah Jiu had already struggled several times, and her whole body was drenched with sweat.Lin Youhui held her little hand with tears in his eyes, "Ninny, your grandfather, father, and brothers are all outside, hoping that you and the emperor's mother and grandson are safe."

Ajiu was crying and shouting in embarrassment a moment ago, but now she became playful again, giggling, "Really, then I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations, and live up to everyone's expectations."

A burst of pain struck, and Ah Jiu felt a ray of light in front of her eyes, as if something flowed out of her body...

At noon that day, there was a loud cry of a baby in the delivery room.

The princess successfully gave birth to a baby boy, weighing seven catties, fat and cute.

The baby boy is the crown prince's eldest son, the undisputed heir to the throne.From the moment he was born, he was the grandson of the emperor.

The emperor who was waiting in the East Palace was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately named the emperor's grandson: Zhengyang.
