The little lady in the dining room

128 Birth
As soon as the incident spread to Zichen Palace, everyone in the imperial court felt that they were caught off guard!

——Twelve hours a day, it’s not good to pick a time, but it’s this moment!Even when His Majesty was discussing matters with the courtiers in the Zichen Palace, he was better than now. It is the early court, so it is impossible to just invite people out like this.

Moreover, not only His Majesty is present at the morning court, but also Mr. Chen Jijiang and Mr. Chen, who is in charge of the imperial court, have also gone with him.Several court ladies frowned and considered for a long time, and finally the most courageous one said first: "Go to Mr. Xu!"

In fact, the other three thought the same way.If she doesn't say it, they will have to say it sooner or later.

So the four of them rushed to Xu Shishui's residence together with Dousha and Fugui in front of Xueli. Xu Shishui almost spit out a mouthful of water after hearing the general idea.

Miss Ruan really knows how to pick her time.

He also inevitably panicked, knowing that everything related to Mrs. Ruan was very important.She cried a lot during the southern tour, and he suffered a full eighty boards—thanks to his master's care and the executioner's willingness to save face, even though the eighty boards were still badly injured, in fact he was still injured. In comparison, it was similar to Zhang Shishi's injury.

As for really sticking eighty... Hehe, then he must have confessed his little life.

After that, Xu Shishui asked for leave to recuperate from his injuries, and after he recovered from his injuries, he also "asked for leave to recuperate", which is what Feng Chen Jijiang meant.Because Chen Jijiang didn't know whether His Majesty still wanted to see this man, he could only leave him alone, which was better than causing trouble.

Xu Shishui didn't expect that after resting for a long time, he suddenly stabbed him with an errand...it was such a big deal!

He calmed down for a while with a slightly pale complexion before he finally managed to calm down, and asked Dou Sha: "What did the imperial doctor say? How is Miss Ruan?"

"The imperial doctor said that the lady's condition is quite good." Dou Sha said truthfully, after a pause, she added, "But after all, such a big matter..."

She couldn't tell what she was worried about, but in short, it was a big deal, and she panicked.

Xu Shishui calmed down: "Anyway, prepare the ginseng soup first, it will take a lot of effort. Go back to Liugeyuan, what if the lady wants to use you?"

Dou Sha now has no idea at all, what he says is what, and immediately agrees with "promise".

Xu Shishui looked at Fugui again: "Go, go to the Xuanzheng Hall and wait, when His Majesty comes out, you will report it in person!"

Fugui also answered "No", turned around and jumped up like a smoke, barely avoiding a somersault over the threshold.

Thinking about what to order next, Xu Shishui's heart was tense.Quickly weighed the importance several times in my heart, and then looked at the big court ladies: "Choose twenty strong eunuchs, and see all the ways that the harem can come! How dare one of them want to touch the Liugeyuan?" Yes, just lock it up and wait for the peace here before we talk about the next thing!"

The faces of the ladies in the palace were shocked when they heard this, and just about to persuade him to think about it, he already walked out with his head bowed and his hands behind his hands.A few people look at each other, it's better to do it first!

Xu Shishui walked out of the courtyard gate, facing the gate of the main courtyard of Liugeyuan.

His eyes moved a few zhang to the south, the courtyard gate on the left is now more frequent for palace people to come in and out, it seems that the delivery room is set up here.

He went straight to the south courtyard.

In the past few months, he has not been in a hurry, knowing that it is not a problem for him to be "hanging out" like this - there is no shortage of eunuchs in the palace, and the position under the master's hand has never been for him.He has been hanging out for a long time, and sooner or later a newcomer will come up, and sooner or later he will be able to push him.

At that time, there is really no way out.

He had long wanted to find another chance for himself, but he never did.Now, this opportunity has come...

When Xu Shishui arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he realized that he had nothing to get his hands on. Just now, he was too eager and came straight here.Right now, I can only wait at the door.

I hope that the arrangement just now is correct, it is better to be able to enter the eyes of His Majesty and Master, then he will have a way out.

Xu Shishui was thinking about it, and at first he heard a child crying diagonally behind him—it wasn't a baby who had just made a sound.

He walked to the gate of the main courtyard and took a look, his heart brightened again.

In the Xuanzheng Hall, the early court dispersed at Si Shi.

The courtiers sent off the holy car with big gifts, and the emperor walked out of the palace gate steadily.There were still three or five steps left to finish the long steps, but the eunuch who was waiting at the bottom came up to meet him as if he couldn't wait any longer.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Fugui fell to his knees as soon as he arrived in front of the emperor, kowtowed hurriedly, raised his head and said, "The lady is about to give birth!"

Chen Jijiang's heart shuddered, and he raised his eyes a little to see that His Majesty's face turned pale, and he walked around the back of the palace without saying a word, his feet felt like wind.

The emperor didn't say a word all the way, and his expression was so solemn that he was not going to wait for the child to be born, but was going to the execution ground.All the palace servants didn't dare to say anything, they just followed with their heads down...

The moment they stepped into the gate of the south courtyard of Liugeyuan, a sharp and immature cry of a baby came to their ears, and everyone was relieved.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty." The midwife knelt down and kowtowed to congratulate, with a happy face, "This is..."

"How is Sydney?" The emperor looked at her congratulating her as if he hadn't heard the congratulations. He swallowed back the midwife's words, and quickly reacted with joy, "Mother and child are safe, and the lady is not bad."

The palace people who were close could almost hear a sigh of relief clearly.Xie Zhao let go of the clenched fist in his sleeve, his fingers touched the greasy sweat in his heart, finally smiled a little, and walked towards the house.

The room had just been tidied up, and although the blood-stained bedding had been replaced, it was still thrown on the floor and could not be taken away in time.When the palace people saw the holy car arrived, they quickly kowtowed, and the emperor walked straight to the couch without stopping. After a closer look, the mother and son were in almost the same condition.

——Beside the pillow on the couch, the baby in swaddling was crying vigorously; a little further in, Xue Li was lying on his side, patting and coaxing him while wiping tears, the two tear stains on his face could not be wiped clean As soon as he looked up and saw him, the rush became even stronger in an instant.

He sat down on the side of the couch with a wry smile, and her free hand immediately stretched out from under the quilt to hold his hand. He shook it back, and immediately heard her choked up and said to him: "Really... pain."

As soon as this sentence came out, her tears broke the embankment, and they fell non-stop.Xie Zhao hurriedly called the nanny to take the baby away, sat on the pillow by himself, put his arms around her shoulders and let her lean on his lap, but he didn't know what to say.

This mood is too complicated.He originally thought that he must be happy when welcoming the birth of the child, but he was only thinking about what to do if she had a dangerous life during the journey just now.

Even during the ten or so steps, he was in a trance, confusedly feeling that he was going to the small courtyard where the imperial guards were trained...

Everything was familiar, the familiar busyness, the familiar noise, and then he couldn't help imagining that the scene of coming to report the bad news in a while would also be familiar.However, it wasn't Mrs. Lu's bad news that was reported, it was hers.

Those pictures were too terrifying, only he knew how long the apparently fast journey just now felt to him.

Seeing her well now, he was overwhelmed with emotion again—this time it seemed to be complete joy, but he didn't know what to say.

He squeezed her hand, which was warm; touched her cheek, which was also warm.

Naturally, she didn't know what kind of wild thoughts he had just now, she just lay on his knees and wiped tears: "It hurts so much! Every bone hurts! Even the joints hurt!"

Xue Li inexplicably felt so wronged—even though she knew in her heart that she would have to go through this, and it was for her own child, she was still wronged.

She wiped her tears on his skirt like revenge: "It scared me, I was about to give birth in my dreams... I was so afraid that I would die! Your Majesty is neither here nor Ayao, if I die, there will be no one by my side." people……"

She also complained a bit messily, as if whatever she said was important, the most important thing was to express these grievances through words and tears.

So she didn't care about whether he answered or not, she whimpered for a while...

Until he kissed her thin lips.

"...Hmm!" Xueli stopped talking, and stared at him with wide-open almond eyes.

After "watching" for a while, she realized that she was tightly encircled by his arms, and then felt that he was trembling all over.

"I'm terrified too." His lips moved to her ear, whispering with a little self-mockery.After being quiet for a while, I laughed dumbly again, "It's good that you are fine. I just thought of Mrs. Lu..."

She was also afraid because she thought of Mrs. Lu!
Xueli Shuer was aroused a little "heart-to-heart" feeling, moved and lingered in his arms for a long time, wiped away her tears, turned her head to look at Dousha, and asked her where Ayao was.

"Diji has been clamoring to come here." Dousha leaned over and sighed with a smile, "When I woke up and heard the noise here, I was clamoring to come here, crying so hard that the four nannies couldn't coax them together, and then Master Xu just rushed over ...It's better to do tricks for Di Ji."

When Xue Li heard this, she immediately asked someone to bring A Yao over.A few breaths after the word spread, Ah Yao rushed in quickly, threw herself on her first, then climbed onto the couch nimbly, and was about to get under the quilt.

"Ayao, Ayao, goodbye..." Xueli hurriedly stopped her.Although the quilts had been replaced with clean ones, she still smelled of blood, and she didn't want Ah Yao to smell it.

But Ah Yao doesn't care!Qiang got into the quilt and hugged her arm tightly as soon as he lay down, coaxing her while wiping his tears: "Mother don't cry, mother don't cry..."

This silly child, who is crying?While teasing, Xue Li hugged her distressedly, and coaxed her softly, "Oh, my mother is fine. You will have a younger brother in the future!"

On this day, Xie Zhao put aside everything and stayed with her in Liugeyuan.Just don't delay the business, it's the same for him to cook after she fell asleep, don't rush for a while.

Sydney's energy is really good. After taking a nap, I feel hungry. I asked the small kitchen to deliver dumplings. I ordered chicken, mushrooms and fresh shrimps, and more vinegar!

In fact, she also wants to eat chili peppers, but she bears it when she hears that it will return milk. Although the nanny has already chosen it, she still wants to feed it by herself every now and then, after all, it is her child.

Half a minute later, the dumplings arrived, and there were two whole plates, obviously not prepared for one person.So after the couch table was set up, Sydney generously pushed a plate of dumplings to the emperor, eating together had a better appetite.

smell good……

It is steaming hot, with the aroma of noodles and stuffing overflowing together, coupled with the sour aroma in the vinegar dish, it really whets Sydney's appetite intolerable!
As soon as she rolls up her sleeves and holds the chopsticks, she will hold them, she has the heart to sweep away the clouds...

Reluctantly, as soon as he ate twelve, the nurse stepped forward and took the plate away with a blessing.

The doctor looked serious: "Lady, you can't eat too much during the confinement period. Overeating is not good for your body. Please bear with it."

Xue Li stared at the plate of dumplings: "..."

Xie Zhao, who was still eating with peace of mind, looked up, continued to eat with chopsticks in his right hand, and patted her on the back with his left hand: "For your own good, be obedient, just eat less and eat more."

In the end, Sydney snatched two dumplings from his chopsticks to satisfy his hunger, and touched his stomach with a satisfied face: it is not suitable for the sudden flattening, but it is still very comfortable to eat!

The eldest son of the emperor was born safely. Sydney didn't know how the harem reacted. Anyway, everyone in her Liugeyuan was refreshed.

She also specially invited Xu Shishui to have a cup of tea.Thank him for trying to coax Ah Yao that day, otherwise, she would still feel sad when her son was born and her daughter cried to death.

Xu Shishui also thanked her in his heart, if she hadn't happened to be born at that juncture, he wouldn't have been able to return to the palace to work so smoothly.So Xueli asked someone to make tea for him to drink, but Xueli wanted to give him another thank you gift, but he refused to accept it.

He turned his head and wanted to do tricks for A Yao, but A Yao was not interested in watching...

In the past few days, Ah Yao has been around his younger brother's nanny.His nanny is also four, and she will follow whoever is holding him, her eyes are full of excitement, and if she wants her to eat well, she has to carry her brother to a nearby place where she can see her.

It was funny for Xue Li to see her brother standing beside her as if he could follow into a samadhi for a long time, and covered her eyes several times with malicious intentions to block her sight.After letting go again, Ah Yao was also embarrassed, turned around and came to rub her again, and then asked a bunch of questions about her younger brother.

For example, when will my brother grow up?How big can it grow?Can you play with me?Will it be taller than me?
These Sydney can answer.The only time she was stumped was when A Yao suddenly asked her, "Where's my sister?"

What, what sister?Where is my sister?
Xue Li was momentarily at a loss when asked, A Yao touched her stomach with her little hand: "Mother said there are younger brothers and sisters, but now there is only a younger brother?"

Sydney: "..." No, child! ! !

They used to say "brother and sister" because they didn't know whether they were male or female, but what they really meant was "younger brother or younger sister".But Ah Yao seems to have understood that "there are younger brothers and sisters", and now seeing the younger brother, he wonders where the younger sister is.

So Sydney explained the matter to her dumbfounded, and by the way explained the usage of the word "or" in detail.

A Yao nodded and said, "That's it." While feeling a little disappointed, Xue Li hugged her, comforted her and said, "Don't worry. You want a younger sister, and mother will give you one later."

"No!" Ayao raised her face and immediately refused, her eyes full of worry, "Mother hurts so much! I don't want my sister anymore!"

Living in Liugeyuan is quite comfortable day by day, it seems that more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the sky is gradually getting warmer.

In mid-April, the name was decided, and the word Yuan was taken from the Ministry of Water.When Xie Zhaolai told Sydney to name it, he also said another thing: "It's almost [-] days, what should I do with the [-]-day banquet, I want to hear your ideas."

Xue Li, who was sitting at the table eating three silk spring rolls, was taken aback, almost choking on the crispy skin.

She said to herself: I have no idea about this...

She has been through too few such banquets, and if she really wanted to ask something feasible from her, she probably could only say "Listen to Your Majesty".

Fortunately, the emperor had thought of two ways in advance, and seeing that she had no idea, he said the two first and asked her to choose one.

He said: "One is congratulations in front of the harem. Clan relatives and officials hold a banquet in Hanyuan Hall, and the harem holds a banquet in Roujia Palace. This is grand enough, but the disadvantage is that you probably have to go to the banquet in the harem." , although the main purpose of the crowd is to congratulate you, there is no way to avoid many etiquettes."

Sydney listened to him while gnawing spring rolls, but she didn't say whether this method is good or not, so she asked him first: "What about two?"

"Second, don't mention the harem at all." Xie Zhao said flatly, "Only the clan and courtiers are allowed to hold banquets. According to the rules, they always bring the main wives of each mansion. If there is no main wife, they bring the concubine who is in charge of the mansion. I don't want to It is also in accordance with the rules to mention the harem, only hold a banquet in the Hanyuan Hall, and you will only use it in the Hanyuan Hall."

Sydney thought about it, and this sounded easy.But still did not choose, and asked again: "Which one do you think is better, Your Majesty?"

"There are pros and cons to each..." Xie Zhaoqing clicked his lips, leaned casually on her couch, folded his arms and thought for a while, then said, "I really have to choose, I think the second one is better. It seems a bit Wronging Ah Yuan, but he is still young and doesn't even remember things, the courtiers... don't think that I don't care about this son just because of this time."

After all, there is the status of the eldest son of the emperor.After careful consideration, Xie Zhao felt that it was better to wrong his son a little bit than to let the mother go to the harem.At that time, he will still have to deal with the banquet in the Hanyuan Palace. If someone in the harem makes things difficult for her, he really can't make it in time.

Sydney nodded thoughtfully, threw the last piece of fried spring roll into his mouth, then took a new one, sat on the edge of the couch and "clicked" off a small piece, and fed it to him while saying: "I think so. ...This will not work. The hundred-day feast is a blessing, to celebrate a long life, so it is not important whether the adults will despise him. It should be the first consideration...It is what we do as parents to do our best , Best for him."

"Do you want to congratulate me?" He smiled as he tasted the spring roll in his mouth, shook his hands and said to himself, "That's fine, as long as you don't have to worry about dealing with the harem, I will also arrange someone to protect you."

"But I want to congratulate you, and I really don't want to deal with the harem." She put her chin on his chest and put on a face, "I'm cheating, I'm unreasonable", and then the smile disappeared, and she asked him seriously, "If the two Changing three seats, is it a bad rule?"
