Resourceful beauty

Chapter 250 Confusion
"Didn't you say you want the one in the middle of the month? Why is it so many days earlier?"

As soon as he entered the outer study room of King Yong's mansion, he heard Chang Gui, his entourage, coming to answer, saying that there was a commotion in the Qingxin hall, and it seemed that the princess was about to give birth, so King Yong sat up in shock.

Chang Gui is also a married person, and he knows a little bit about women's childbearing. He immediately smiled and said: "Master, as the saying goes, it is normal to have a few days earlier and a few days later. Today is the beginning of September. Eight, it should be about the same."

King Yong's face was serious, and after a while, he raised his eyes and asked Changgui, "That child, how are you doing these days?"

Chang Gui was stunned for a moment, then he realized who he was talking about, nodded and said: "According to my master's order, I settled down in the east house, and found two wet nurses to take care of me, they are all proper people, and then I went from Eight fifteen or sixteen-year-old maidservants were selected from the family of the Wangfu to go there."

Nodding his head, King Yong stood up and walked around in the study room. After a while, he looked back at Chang Gui and said, "Go to the house over there, and quietly bring the child in and send it to... ...Send it to Qingxintang, be sure to cover your eyes and ears, so that no one can see it. In addition..."

Seeming to be a little nervous, King Yong put his hands together and rubbed them together for a long time before he said in a low voice: "Don't let the child make any noise. If necessary, you can use some soothing incense to let him sleep for a few hours. But, be careful, Don't hurt him, bring him here as soon as possible."

After following King Yong for so many years, Chang Gui can probably guess a little bit about King Yong's thoughts. At this moment, what King Yong wants to do with this order, Chang Gui understood after a little thought, and immediately a layer of back came out. sweat.

Not daring to look into King Yong's eyes, Chang Gui lowered his head and replied, "Young one, let's go."

King Yong responded, Chang Gui turned and opened the door, and walked out quickly.

If a woman's childbirth is not going well, it may take a few days or nights; if it goes well, it may take a few hours. Fortunately, it is already evening at this moment. If it is broad daylight, she wants to bring a child into the mansion without attracting attention. I'm afraid it won't be easy.

After leaving the study room, he raised his eyes to glance at the dim sky, Chang Gui's feet were hurried, and it seemed like a drum was beating in his heart.

After sitting alone in the study for half an hour, King Yong got up and opened the door of the study, and went straight to the Qingxin Hall.

Qingxin Hall is the second courtyard of Prince Yong's Mansion. It is located in the center of King Yong's Mansion. It was also the new house where King Yong and Concubine Yong got married. However, over the years, Concubine Yong lived alone most of the time. Rarely come here.

Stepping into the courtyard at this moment, looking at the delicate, beautiful and elegant entrance, King Yong felt that it was very strange.

The East Wing Room was set up as a delivery room. At this moment, when people came in and out, they could occasionally hear the commanding voice of Mrs. Wen and Princess Yong's cry of pain. In the yard, King Yong's side concubine and several other concubines had already arrived, with expressions on their faces. Anxiously waiting.

"My concubine has met the prince..."

Hearing the sound of the courtyard door, everyone turned their heads and hurried over to greet King Yong.

King Yong waved his hand, "This king is here, you all go back and rest."

In front of outsiders, King Yong's smile was warm and gentle, but when he returned to Prince Yong's mansion, no matter whether his servants or concubines, they seemed to be terribly afraid of him.

After hearing King Yong's words, the concubines didn't hesitate any longer, they were led by King Yong's side concubine, and went back to their own rooms.

After a while, the huge Qingxin hall became quiet, only the movement in the east wing room became louder and louder.

He lifted his feet to the main room and sat down, and when the servant girl served tea, King Yong waved his hand to signal her to back down.

Sitting alone for a long time, looking around at the furnishings in the room, the strange feeling in King Yong's heart became more and more familiar, and he couldn't even remember the last time he stepped here.

The prince and concubine are deeply in love with each other. The concubine has only had a baby three months after she got married, let alone King Xuan and Princess Xuan. , Why did you have such a trouble with the princess?
If this child is a son, it's okay, but if it's a daughter, I'm afraid I will become the laughing stock of Shangyang City again, right?

King Yong thought a little angrily.

While thinking wildly, there was a sudden commotion in the east wing room, thinking that Princess Yong was about to give birth, King Yong stood up eagerly, and looked around the courtyard gate.

The one who came out of the east wing was a midwife.

Panicked up the steps, the nun bowed her knees and saluted: "My lord, my concubine's fetal position is not going well, and now there are signs of dystocia. I dare to ask my lord, if it comes to a time when I have to, should I protect the elders or give birth?" Baoxiao?"

King Yong hesitated for a moment and asked, "I don't know if this child is a boy or a girl?"

"This……"

The nun hesitated and said: "Look at Wangfei's bosom, she seems to be a young lady."

Xu was afraid that his words would offend King Yong, so the mother hurriedly knelt down.

After struggling in his heart for a long time, King Yong waved his hand, and the nanny stood up and went down the steps with a face full of embarrassment. Two tiny words came to her ears: "Bao Xiao".

With peace of mind, when the nanny walked to the east wing, her steps became a little lighter.

Lanterns were hung in the yard, and King Yong came back to his senses, only to find that the sky was completely dark, and the dim light shone through the lanterns, and there were a few shadowy shadows on the ground. On the side, Princess Yong's voice has become lower and lower.

Taking a deep breath, King Yong paced back and forth under the eaves of the corridor. After a while, the courtyard door rang softly. Chang Gui probed in and took a look. Seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, he quickly walked into the main room with a basket.

Under the small quilt in the basket, a child with thick hair was sleeping soundly, with a pair of small fists tightly clenched on both sides of the head, making one's heart soft just by looking at it.

Stretching out his hand to touch the child's soft face, King Yong was about to say something, when a woman's shrill cry came from the side of the East Wing, followed by a baby's delicate cry.

After a cup of tea, the door of the side room opened, and the midwife who had been talking back and forth just now came over with a bright red swaddle in her arms, "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, the wangfei gave birth to a young lady."

There was no smile on King Yong's face, "How is the princess?"

"The concubine hurt her body during childbirth, and now she has passed out, but it's not a problem, it will be fine after a few days, the prince can rest assured."

The nanny replied, she glanced at the child in Chang Gui's arms, she didn't seem surprised at all.

King Yong took off his belt and threw it into Changgui's arms, "Go to the palace to announce the good news. Concubine Yong has given birth to a young master. Please give me a name from the king."

"Yes."

Chang Gui and the midwife exchanged the two swaddling babies in their arms, put the little baby girl back into the basket, and Chang Gui galloped out.

"My lord, if the princess wakes up, how should I explain?"

Shaking the swaddling baby in her arms and patting it gently, the nun asked a little nervously.

"When she wakes up, the king will come and break up with her. As for you, there are those who have served in the delivery room just now, take care of your eyes and mouth."

After speaking, King Yong stepped out with great strides.

An hour later, Chang Gui came back from the palace, along with the servants of the House of Internal Affairs.

King Yao gave the child the name Zhong, and according to his seniority, the child was named Chu Xingzhong, followed by rewards and gifts from King Yao, Queen Zhou, and the lords of the palaces.

After accepting the gift, King Yong returned to the Qingxin Hall.

Everything in the yard was in order, the panic just now was gone, the door of the East Wing was wide open, and there was still a slight fishy smell in the air, but it was covered by the strong incense in an instant.

Concubine Yong has been moved back to the main room. When King Yong stepped into the inner room, he saw Concubine Yong leaning against the bedpost, and coldly ordered the nurse to take away the baby beside her.

"Where's my child?"

All the servants in the room retreated, Princess Yong stared at King Yong with a frosty face and asked.

Glancing outward, as if to see the figure of the nurse, King Yong smiled and said, "Isn't the child being carried to be nursed? The princess will see you in a while."

"Where is my child? My child..."

Shouting sharply, Concubine Yong picked up a soft pillow and threw it at King Yong with all her strength, her eyes were red and swollen, and her eyes were already stained with a touch of blood.

As the two sat and stood, they became deadlocked, and there was a dead silence in the room.

After a while, Concubine Yong lay down on the bed crying and begged: "Please, give me back the child. Please..."

Thinking that the wrinkled child was also his own flesh and blood, King Yong felt soft, and sat down on the side of the bed, "She is the eldest daughter of this king, how can this king wrong her? Just bear with me for a while. , the king will definitely arrange it."

"Arranged? How to arrange?"

Looking up at King Yong in resentment, Princess Yong smiled with tears on her face: "I don't know where to find such a bastard, and he has become the eldest son of Prince Yong's mansion, let alone let my daughter live outside, why? , why?"

"He's not a bastard..."

Stabbed by Princess Yong's words, King Yong's expression sank, he glared at Princess Yong fiercely and said: "He is the son of this king, his own son. You'd better remember this for me, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, King Yong's expression softened a little, and he actually smiled a little, "From now on, he will be our son, Wangfei, don't forget."

Saying that, King Yong got up and was about to leave, but Princess Yong cursed behind him, "Chu An, I hate you, one day, I will make you pay for it, one day..."

His face was gloomy, but King Yong didn't turn around, and left the main room with great strides.

It was already early in the morning of the second day when Fang Ruxuan got the news.

After ordering Ding Xiang to prepare a congratulatory gift, and asked Dexi to send it to Prince Yong's Mansion, Fang Ruxuan turned her head and asked, "This time, the empress is happy."

"Isn't that right? I got the news yesterday, and the reward went down. The queen even went to the Yiyuan Hall to ask the king to give her a name. Otherwise, how could it be so fast?"

Su Ye responded.

Knowing such a big event, she must go to Fengming Palace to congratulate Queen Zhou. Fang Ruxuan washed and dressed properly, and went to Fengming Palace with mulberry and mulberry leaves.
