Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 58

"Has the emperor not come yet?" The queen looked at the gradually gloomy sky and asked worriedly.Du Shi gave birth, if there was an emergency, she would enter the delivery room if she couldn't say it.And at this time, the emperor needs to make up his own mind. Because of the special situation, it is not easy for her to make a decision.But now the emperor is nowhere to be seen.

"Returning to the words of the mistress, the emperor is currently in the Linzhi Palace, the second prince has a fever, and the imperial doctor Li is helpless. The empress Zhaoyi has been crying in her arms with the prince. She is completely panicked. The emperor is accompanying their mother and son."

The second prince was born before the full moon. As the only little prince in the empire, his birth gave his mother and concubine a taste of the value of a mother and a child.

The Li family, who was promoted to Ronghua because of her meritorious service in conceiving an heir, was promoted to the third rank, Empress Zhaoyi, who is now the highest-ranking concubine besides the empress and Ning Shuyuan.

It is different from the fact that the Queen of the Palace has no children and the family is low-key, and it is also different from Ning Shuyuan who ascended to a high position because of the premature death of the eldest prince;It is because of the second prince that Li Shi has obtained another title after she has been in the palace for so many years.

The emperor personally bestowed the word "De", on the one hand to thank the Li family for giving birth to a prince for her, and on the other hand to show her status with this word.

De Zhaoyi was still in confinement when she got the word, the queen sneered when she heard it, "It's really ironic, for a person who doesn't know what etiquette is to use the word 'de' on his face, the emperor is getting more and more angry. It makes people laugh.”

Sure enough, before confinement, the little prince had a fever.When the queen heard the little eunuch's return, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Mommy, besides the emperor, who else is in Linzhi Palace?" The queen frowned, "It's just that I'm sick at this time."

Not getting sick early, not getting sick late, just in time for Du's delivery, this Li Shi didn't know if he heard something?
"Miss Ning Shuyuan has already rushed to Linzhi Palace after learning about it. Lady Zhaoyi did not send anyone to report to Guanju Palace. I think she was worried that you, Mistress, would not be able to get away from taking care of you in Yaohua Palace, afraid of delays. The little prince's condition should be reported directly to the emperor."

Madam Hu's words were ingenious, not only answered the queen's doubts, but also indirectly told everyone that the Li family was still as disrespectful as before.

"The little prince gave birth at full term and has always been very healthy. Why did he suddenly have a fever?" The queen asked worriedly, "Such a small child, who is not yet full moon, has suffered so much. How does the nanny take care of it?"

The queen's words already carried a hint of anger, "It's okay to not take care of the wet nurses of the prince. It just so happens that because of their birth, the palace has chosen a lot of wet nurses, and the wet nurses will send them to Linzhi Palace in person in a while, so that De Zhaoyi chooses for herself."

"Your servant knows. Niang Niang, what about now, good master?"

"Wait, send someone to urge the emperor. Sister Jia is the first child, and she was born prematurely. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat. Let the emperor decide for himself."

The queen sneered in her heart, she might not be really nervous about Li Shi on weekdays, but this time she rushed to care about their mother and child, those who didn't know really thought that Li Shi was the only one out there.

"Little sister has been out for a while, have you visited the sixth princess today?" The queen asked the white beauty who was quietly standing aside.

"When I came here today, it wasn't time to pay my respects to Empress Jieyu." Bai replied in a low voice with her head bowed.

"Why, you don't see the princess on weekdays?" The queen said indifferently, everyone was thinking about fighting, which was really annoying.

"Your servant doesn't mean that. I can go to Zhongcui Palace every morning and evening to pay my respects. The lady Jieyu didn't stop my servant from seeing the princess." Bai paused for a moment, then said, "It's my servant's bad luck. Most of the princesses are sleeping during the day. It is normal for children to sleep often."

"After all, you live in the West Sixth Palace, so it's inconvenient to travel around every day. How about this, starting tomorrow you will move into the side hall of Zhongcui Palace and live with Sister Lu, so it will be convenient for you to take care of the Sixth Princess with your sister."

"Thank you, Empress, for your grace." Bai Meiren wept with joy, but her heart was a little vigilant. The empress was afraid that she and the Du family would not be able to control her front line, and she also wanted to make herself and the Lu family fight because of the sixth princess.But it's okay, if I look at Lu Shi, I don't think she dares to fight for favor with the child like Li Shi.

Children who can't stand the torment are like Li Shi, so that's okay.If a child who is not doing well gets sick, it will be worth the candle just in case.

In this life, I only have Xiaoliu as a child, as long as the child is good, I don't need anything else.The Lu family is different, the Lu family behind her may not know what kind of moth will come out.I have to pay more attention to the Lu family and the Lu family for Xiao Liu's sake.

"Okay, put away your tears, those who don't know think I bullied you."

"Master and empress have always been kind, no one in the palace will praise you. The servant thanked the empress for her good intentions." Bai quickly wiped away her tears and complimented the queen.

The Queen and Bai Shi in the west hall are talking, and Shi Niang and Liu Niang Ruhua are also whispering in the delivery room over there.

"Sixth sister, have you made all the arrangements?" Ten Niang was a little nervous, after all, this matter is of great importance.If one is not good, they will all lose their heads.

"Sister, don't worry, our people won't take action again unless it is absolutely necessary." Liu Niang signaled to Huahua to replace Mrs. Wen.

"Sixth brother is fine. The empress has arranged people around them to restrain them. My sister can give birth with peace of mind now. My sister has no choice but to keep it from you. I will tell you all about it after you give birth."

"Do you know if you are in the painting?" Shi Niang saw Liu Niang's eyes were clear, and the worries just now disappeared, so she realized that Liu Niang had tricked her into going there.

"She doesn't know. Only the prince and I know the whereabouts of Sixth Brother. As for the rest, sister doesn't have to worry. It's all arranged."

"Sister, what did you do again?" Seeing Liu Niang's calm look, Shi Niang was a little worried.As the sixth sister, she has always been safe, and only when she is desperate, will she look calm and leisurely.

"Sister, don't ask, anyway, it's a way to delay the time for you to give birth safely. As long as my sister can give birth safely, my prince will worry about it later." Liu Niang didn't say any more.

"Master, hurry up, this servant will help you rub your stomach, it may hurt a little, please be patient." Wen Po said while rubbing Shi Niang's stomach, the fine pain suddenly interrupted Shi Niang's conversation with Liu. What my mother said.

"My lord, just call out when it hurts you." Ruo Min was sweating nervously on Shi Niang's side.

"Miss, the bird's nest porridge in the small kitchen is ready." When Ruhua went to call Mrs. Wen, he casually went to the small kitchen to serve bird's nest porridge.

"Leave it alone, I can't eat it." Ten Niang endured the pain and said weakly.

"Your Majesty, let's eat some later. I'm afraid the little prince won't be able to come out for a while. You can eat something so that you can give birth." Wen Po persuaded.

"Eat as much as you want. Mammy said that you will have no strength later." Ruhua scooped up a spoonful of porridge with a soup spoon and brought it to Shi Niang's mouth.

Shi Niang took a mouthful of the bird's nest porridge, and slowly drank half a bowl of porridge under Ru Hua's service.

After that, the only sound left in the delivery room was Shi Niang's occasional moaning voice, depressing and painful.

Liuniang and Renhua Ruomin accompanied Shiniang silently, not talking.

"Your Majesty, the good master of Yaohua Palace is about to give birth. Mistress, please show me." Xiao Luzi hurried in from outside the palace and whispered in the emperor's ear.

Before the emperor could speak, he heard Li's anxious voice in the inner hall, "Emperor, don't cry, mother and concubine will not let you have trouble!"

"Let your mistress make up her own mind. She knows what to do, so I won't go there." The emperor flicked his sleeves, ready to enter,

"Quickly spread that Imperial Physician Zheng came to Linzhi Palace to treat the second prince."

"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zheng..." Xiao Luzi hesitated, "Most of the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital are already in Linzhi Palace, only Imperial Physician Zheng is waiting in Yaohua Palace."

"Xuan, ask Imperial Physician Li to exchange with Imperial Physician Zheng. Imperial Physician Zheng is good at pediatrics. Du Shi can wait, but my son can't wait."

"Boom..." As soon as the emperor's words fell, there was a muffled thunder in the air, and the sound was loud.For a moment, the second prince, who was feverish and whimpering, was so frightened that he burst into tears.

Xiaoluzi was startled, is this a warning from the sky?He didn't dare to say any more, he only showed his eyes to the emperor.

The emperor glared at him, waved his hand and asked him to go to Yaohua Palace to call someone.

"It's cold at night. My sister was injured when she gave birth to the sixth daughter. Why don't you go back and rest. I have news and I will send someone to notify you." The queen said to Bai, suppressing the worries in her heart, and began to think of ways to support her. Kai Bai's.This Mrs. Bai has been to Yaohua Palace since Mrs. Du started mobilizing in the afternoon, and she has not left every inch of the night, which made it difficult for her to find a chance to make a move.

"The empress should take care of her health. The slaves are not in the way. My sister is still passing through the gate of hell in the palace. I don't deserve to be by my side." Thinking of the words of Jia Guiren's sister, Bai Shi accepted the queen's words calmly.At a time like this, the queen must never be allowed to enter the delivery room.

"Since that's the case, let the little palace man cook a cup of red bean barley porridge for my sister, so that my sister can replenish her vitality."

"Cook a piece of yam porridge for your empress, it will nourish your energy and nourish your face, it will be of great benefit to your empress." Bai ordered to the maid beside her.

"Yes." The palace people took orders and left.The queen and the Bai family tied in the first round, and the two sat in the hall silently drinking tea together.

"It's windy, and this old slave brought you a cloak." Madam Hu tied the belt for the queen, "This cloak was given to you by the emperor when the master entered the palace."

"It's been so many years, and the wind has never stopped. It's just never been so raging in April." The queen tightened the cloak on her body, "I hope sister Jia and their mother and child will have great fortune."

As we spoke, several bolts of lightning flashed across the night sky. Accompanied by rumbling thunder, the queen strolled to the window, opened it, and stared blankly at the dark night outside.

"The rain is coming soon, empress beware." After a while, fine rain fell from the sky.

"Congratulations, empress, congratulations, empress, the good master gave birth to the little prince, the third prince is five pounds and three taels." Liu Niang happily carried the little prince out of the delivery room door, and handed it to the queen.

"This child knows how to choose the time." The queen took the child, "The eighth day is a good day. Just after he was born, he solved the problem of spring drought for your father Huang."

The queen said with emotion, before she finished expressing her emotion, she saw the emperor hurried in from outside.

"Did you give birth?" The emperor trembled slightly, and he didn't know whether it was because he was cold from walking all the way outside, or he was afraid of encountering the most difficult situation for him.

"Boy or girl?" the emperor asked cautiously.

"The one in the master's arms is my elder brother." Liu Niang also replied cautiously.

"Your brothers and sisters have worked hard." The emperor changed the subject unnaturally and bluntly. He said to Liu Niang, "After Shi Niang is finished giving birth, the eighth brothers and sisters should go back home. The eighth brother went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to ask me for you several times but failed, almost Make me mad."

"Your maid obeys the order." Liu Niang had nothing to say, she could only thank her.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the empress, Jiagui gave birth to a princess, and the mother and daughter are safe." Wen Po hugged the little princess who was in the swaddle of Dahong, and saluted the emperor respectfully.

"Female, female, daughter? Is it really my Xiao Qi?" The emperor's mood suddenly changed from the valley to the top of the mountain.

"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your mistress, the third prince brought spring rain when he was born, and even brought his younger sister, the seventh princess. My younger sister gave birth to dragon and phoenix twins for the emperor. This is the blessing of my royal family and the great beam!" Bai Meiren Kneel down to congratulate the empress.

"Good, good, good, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious! God bless the beam!" The emperor said good words three times in a row, hugging the little princess and not letting go.

This is not his first daughter, but the daughter he is most looking forward to.For her, all those worries and plans before were worth it.Without her, he would not know how much pain his heart can bear.Holding the soft body of his little daughter, the emperor slowly calmed down, "How is Mrs. Jia?"

"If you go back to the emperor, Mrs. Jiagui lost her strength after giving birth and has passed out." Wen Po knew the emperor's worry, "Don't worry, your majesty, this is a normal phenomenon. Mrs. Jia is in good health, mother and child are safe. The two princes and daughters are also in good health .”

"That's good." The emperor said to Xiaoluzi beside him, "The decree is that the eighth princess will reward the emperor's heir with 80 South Pearls and a gold medal. Everyone in the Yaohua Palace will reward three months of money. People wait for rewards for two months."

"Your majesty is wise. You have rewarded the eighth younger siblings and servants, but you have forgotten our great hero. I can't stand for my sister Jia." The queen was relieved, Du Shi is indeed a lucky person.The royal family's unique dragon and phoenix twins can't be exchanged for no amount of honor and favor.

"I wanted to wait for her to wake up before proclaiming the decree. Since the queen said so, let's reward it together." The emperor looked at the little princess in his hand, and then at the little Douding in the queen's arms, "Yaohua Palace is a nobleman. The Du family has made great contributions to the country, and has been promoted to the fourth rank to be full of glory, and the prince and princess will be enshrined in the Jin Dynasty after the full moon."

"The concubine thanked the emperor and empress for their kindness on my younger sister's behalf." Liu Niang bowed down and was completely relieved.The younger sister can be regarded as a head, and she suppressed the sisters of the Liu family of Nalan family in one fell swoop, and was promoted to the fourth rank of Chonghua, the first of the three Chonghua.

"Sisters and sisters, it's thanks to you these days." The queen raised her hand, and then said to the emperor, "Sister Yijia's previous level of children cannot be brought by herself. Now that she has been promoted, if she takes care of her own children, the ones here Naturally, there are not enough people. Why don't the emperor allocate some people to the three of them, mother and son, so that my sister can feel at ease."

"Xiao Luzi will take Ru Hua to handle this matter in person." The emperor ordered to the queen, "The queen has more time to take care of their mother and child. It's time for me to go to court."
