The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 65

The matter of swallowing powder was settled due to the suicide of the court lady Juxiang. Although there was no direct evidence pointing to Concubine Shu of the Hehuan Palace, to avoid suspicion, Concubine Shu met the Queen Mother early the next morning and asked herself to become a monk outside the palace to practice. Pray for the late emperor.

There is no conclusive evidence, and it is inconvenient for the queen mother to punish her, but in order to give Yufu Palace an explanation, the queen mother discussed with Song Chen and made a decision.A few days later, the Palace of Qinzheng issued an imperial decree to specifically allow Concubine Shu to leave the palace, so along with several carriages, there was another master missing in the palace.

Although the matter can only go so far and the real culprit has not been found out, Chu Xue is not discouraged, but instead sees a glimmer of hope.She still remembers the first few days when she was pregnant. Qi Jing once confirmed that when Li Jiaoyun was pregnant with Song Qi, she fell into a coma for more than six months, and she was also dystocia during childbirth. This symptom was just like taking swallowing powder...

She was even more sure that Li Jiaoyun was also the one who made a mistake in Xu Jinhe's plot back then.

But even though she understands this matter, if she wants to use it against Xu Jinhe, it is still not feasible, because there is no evidence.

Although all of this must be inseparable from the former government doctor Liao Zhong, but now that person is not in the palace, she is a woman in the palace, and it is difficult for her to go out of the palace by herself, how can she find the person outside the palace?
Outside the palace?

She turned her thoughts and suddenly had an idea.Rubbing Gao Long's pregnant belly, she remembered that when the child was born, the mother would come to the palace to visit, and then she could leave this matter to the parents outside the palace.

After detoxifying the poison of Bian Mian San, Chu Xue's spirit improved greatly. Seeing that it has entered May, and the delivery date estimated by the imperial doctor is getting closer, she is excited and nervous, waiting for the arrival of the child all the time.

On the fifth day of May, Chu Xue finished her breakfast and took a walk in the imperial garden. When she came back, she saw Ruyue Jinyuhuixin and the three maids who were planning to make zongzi. Materials such as zongzi leaves and glutinous rice were placed on the stone tables in the courtyard. .She was suddenly curious, she had never made zongzi before, so she wanted to reach out and try.I'll wrap it up later, and if it's delicious, send a few to Song Chen.

So she washed her hands and sat down too.

At the beginning, it was not very good, but after three or four wraps, it gradually took shape. She was elated and became more serious.

When the eighth bag was wrapped, she really had a decent green rice dumpling in her hand. She was very proud and held it up to show off to the girls, "Look at this, isn't it very pretty?"

Occasionally, my master would show the lively side of a young girl, Ruyue and the others were waiting to be praised, but suddenly they saw her smile froze and froze.

Kisaragi immediately realized something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what's wrong with you? Is it..."

"Yue'er, I think I'm about to give birth..." She opened her eyes wide and looked at Ruyue, and with another burst of heat gushing out from under her body, she confirmed her guess and said, "It seems that the water broke..."

Ruyue acted immediately, commanding Yanling Qijing to help her into the palace, and at the same time sending someone to invite Cheng Zizhen and Wen Po.

Chu Xue moved into the palace carefully and lay down, anxiously waiting for the faint pain, and after a while, the imperial doctor and Mrs. Wen rushed over.

After the imperial doctor and Mrs. Wen checked her pulse, they confirmed that she was going to give birth. In addition to making preparations immediately, they also did not forget to comfort her carefully.

She knows that this is the only way to become a mother. Both Li Jiaoyun and her mother have told her that although it hurts, she can get through it. She also believes that she can do it. While comforting herself, she also whispers to the child in her belly , "Son, you are coming out soon, we will meet soon, don't be afraid, work hard with mother."

With the arrival of the imperial doctor and Mrs. Wen, after a while, Song Chen also rushed over from the Qinzheng Hall. Because he wanted to avoid taboos, he could not come near her, and only comforted her through the door of the inner hall, "Xue'er, I'm here, don't be afraid, I'll accompany you outside."

She is not in great pain at this time, Wen Po said that it takes about five or six hours for the first child to go through from pain to birth. She was worried that he would be tired and delay political affairs if he waited too long, so she raised her voice to persuade him, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The concubine is fine now, I heard that the child will have to wait for a while, you go and rest first, and come back when the concubine is about to give birth, okay?"

Hearing that her voice was calm, Song Chen felt relieved, but still refused to leave. After waiting in the outer hall for a while, he didn't want to go back until he heard that there were ministers waiting for orders in the Qinzheng Hall.

The pain came, gradually from mild to severe, from sparse to dense. Chu Xue could bear it at first, but when more than four hours passed and her waist was so painful that she wanted to be twisted, she finally couldn't help shouting out. Voice.The four women comforted her together, saying that the more it hurts, the sooner the child will come out, and she must work hard. She gritted her teeth and nodded, trying her best to resist the more intense and frequent pain.

The days of summer are long, and the night is already falling. Calculated, it has been a full five hours. Suddenly, a steady lady checked and said happily, "Mother, the time has come, you should use your strength!"

She nodded, she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak at this time, but she still remembered the method taught by Granny Wen before, she concentrated her energy and exerted all her strength in one place.

This seemed to be the most difficult long-distance run in her life. She closed her eyes tightly and felt that the outside of her eyelids was yellow. She seemed to hear Song Chen coming back and comforting her anxiously outside, but she couldn't understand it at all. Endure the pain and do our best.

I don't know how long it took, as if she was about to lose consciousness due to exhaustion, she suddenly heard the surprise voices of the women, "It's out, it's out, madam, work harder, the child's head has come out!"

She seemed to be gnashing her teeth, and finally after holding her breath for a long time, she felt empty in her abdomen, and then she heard the good news from the mother-in-law, "Okay, ma'am, the baby is born, you gave birth to a little girl." Congratulations, princess!"

She was finally relieved and let out a long sigh of relief. Not long after, there was another pain in her stomach, and the placenta was delivered. Her mission was finally completed.

She closed her eyes in relief and fell asleep.

Song Chen was waiting anxiously in the main hall. He had just finished dealing with the affairs of the previous dynasty in a hurry half an hour ago. He didn't even have time to eat, so he rushed over immediately. cry.Although he already had four children, this time, he felt really uneasy.Because at this moment, the only Xueer in his heart who is dying of pain inside is the little life that is about to be born. It is their first child. He usually hates her crying the most, but at this moment, her cry of pain is right next to his ears. , How can he not feel uneasy?

Moreover, this child has only been ten months since it was born, but it has already experienced too many things. He can't let their mother and child have any accidents.

Just as the king raised his brows anxiously, suddenly there was a loud cry of a baby from the inner room, his eyes lit up, and then he saw a stable woman coming out of the inner hall, knelt down in front of him and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Concubine Yi!" Give birth to a little princess!"

His heart was half lost, and he asked, "How is Concubine Yi?"

Wen Po hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Your Majesty is fine, mother and daughter are safe!"

Gao Xuan's heart finally fell to the ground.

After a while, the door of the inner hall was opened again, and another Wen woman walked up to him with a brocade quilt with dragon pattern in her arms, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is your little princess."

He carefully stretched out his hand, took the brocade quilt and the small things in it into his arms, and looked at it carefully.

That pink and soft ball was his daughter, the daughter Xue'er gave birth to for him.Although the little guy was only born for a quarter of an hour or two, he is not crying or making noise at this moment, and is carefully looking at the world with his bright black eyes, including his father who is watching him tenderly in this world.

Her mouth is small, and the lustrous pink color is like mother's, her eyes are dark and bright, like the most precious pearls in the South China Sea, although the little person was just born, but because she was raised well in mother's belly, there is no harm. The wrinkled appearance of ordinary children is very stretched, and such a delicate face, except for the big and round eyes, actually looks more like him when you look closely.

He was full of tenderness, and after staring at it for a while, he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, everyone in Yufu Palace will be rewarded today!"

A deep voice came, and the infant blinked her bright black eyes, only looking at the source of the voice, her father.

When Chu Xue woke up, she saw Song Chen's handsome face.

"Are you awake?" he asked softly.

She nodded lightly with a smile and asked, "Your Majesty, what time is it?"

"It's almost halfway through the hour of the day." He replied, and lightly combed the hair on her forehead.

Just as she nodded, she hurriedly asked, "Where's the child?"

He knew that she was nervous, so he quickly comforted her, "I just took her to show the queen mother, and now the nurse is watching, the baby is fine, don't worry."

She breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face again.

"Are you hungry? I asked someone to cook porridge, can you eat some?"

From morning until now, she only ate one breakfast, and when she was in pain, she only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge in a hurry. She exhausted her strength just now, and she was indeed a little hungry at this time. The concubine wants to see the child."

"Okay, I ordered someone to carry it." After he finished speaking, the maidservants in the palace got busy immediately, Yanling went to find the wet nurse to hold the baby, and Ruyue went to serve her porridge.

Song Chen personally put a soft pillow on her back and helped her sit up a bit. As soon as she adjusted her posture, the nurse brought the baby in and handed it to her.

She opened her hand to take it, and like Song Chen just now, she held it close to her arms and looked at it carefully.The little guy was full of milk from the wet nurse, and is now soundly asleep. She carefully looked at her small facial features and face, and couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.

This is the first flesh-and-blood relative God gave her after so many years, this is her child, the child that has been raised in her belly for ten months, this is her and his child.There were too many sighs in her heart. At this moment, feeling the heavy weight of the little guy, she really realized that she had a child and she became a mother.

This year, she became a mother for the first time.

The donkey-hide gelatin longan porridge has also been brought over, and Song Chen waited for her to look at it for a while before reminding softly, "Eat something first, the future will last, and you will see enough in the future."

She smiled, and finally handed the baby to the wet nurse.Song Chen personally took the porcelain bowl from Ruyue's hand, and fed her spoonful by spoonful.

She opened her mouth obediently, and after finishing the bowl of porridge, she said softly: "Your Majesty, my concubine only gave birth to a daughter, will you regret it?"

Song Chen handed the bowl to the people around him, took the handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and then said, "Fool, do you think I will regret it if you still say such things now?"

She was startled, shook her head, and said half-truth, "I don't know."

Knowing that she was probing again, but this time he couldn't bear to tease him, he just hugged her into his arms and said: "As long as it is my child, I will never regret it. I have three sons, but in the past there was only one daughter, Ning Ning. Now Finally another one came, and it's too late for me to be happy, so why would I regret it?"

She nodded in his arms, and heard him say: "Just now, I thought of a name while you were asleep."

She looked up at him, and he smiled slightly, "Le."

Her eyes lit up, and she said, "Happy?"

He nodded and said, "I wish her a safe and happy life."

"En." She also nodded, and said: "The concubine thanked the emperor for giving the name to the child."

He said: "Okay, since you like it too, I will propose a title for her at the Ministry of Rites tomorrow, and after the full moon, I will announce it to the world."

Announced to the world that his beloved woman gave birth to a precious daughter for him.
