Qing Fu Jin

Chapter 162 Pain
In March of the 52nd year of Kangxi, it was Kangxi's 60th birthday, also known as Longevity Festival.

Kangxi believed that: Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there have been three out of 190 people who have claimed the title of emperor, "the one who enjoys Zuo for as long as I do."Therefore, it was decided to hold a grand longevity celebration.

The preparations for the Longevity Festival naturally started a long time ago.The colorful shed set up for the celebration extends from Xizhimen to Changchun Garden, which is 20 miles long.

There is also a special regulation from the Ministry of Etiquette, which believes that this year is the [-]th anniversary of longevity, which is unusual and comparable, so from the first day of March, Beijing officials have all worn python robes and mended gowns, breaking the routine of only wearing court clothes for seven days.

Among the series of longevity celebrations, the grandest and most eye-catching one is the Qiansen Banquet promised by Kangxi himself.Elderly people all over the world, who are over 65 years old, regardless of officials or civilians, can come to the capital to participate in the banquet in Changchun Garden.

Ling Bo's father, Mi Sihan, is over 90 years old and a veteran of the court. He has made great contributions and has always been valued and trusted by Kangxi. There is no doubt that he is qualified to participate in the banquet of thousands of seniors.

Everyone originally thought that this was a grand and significant celebration, and had no other ideas.But today, Yarjiang A entered the palace and met Mi Sihan, and Mi Sihan used the reason that he was not yet 65 years old to tell him not to come to the Thousand Seniors Banquet, but to play at home by himself.

The same is in-laws, why Mi Sihan can go, but he Yarjan can't.

Yaerjiang was unconvinced, but Mi Sihan pushed him back with a single sentence.

"When I was killing people on the battlefield, you were still breastfeeding in my mother's arms!"

Yaerjiang'a was instantly killed, retreated in defeat, and went home sulking.

Ling Bo couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and said, "Just for this?"

Bo Zhe nodded: "Just because of this, I went all the way home from the palace in anger, and even scolded people when I entered the door."

Ling Bo was speechless, sighed and shook his head.

"Ama is already in his dozen years, why is he still like a child? He usually gets along very well with Ama and me. The two of us are like old enemies. When we meet, we don't feel comfortable without bickering. Why are we so upset today? Are you serious?"

Bo Zhe said: "It is said that the older a person is, the weaker his heart is. Although Yue Zhang's words are vulgar, they are also true. When he went to the battlefield, I, Ama, was probably a young boy. I was already a head shorter than him. Even though we were married Well, they are in-laws of the same generation, and the father-in-law is still respected after all, but usually the two of them can talk and don't care about it. Now that the father-in-law pierced the window paper, Amma couldn't hold back her face, and she had nothing to refute, so naturally she just I can go home sulking."

Ling Bo said: "Actually, Ama is also on the edge of her head. The Qianshou Banquet said that it invites elderly people over 65 years old, but it must be accompanied by princes and ministers. How can the emperor miss him?"

That's what he said, but Yaerjiang'a really got into the horns, and refused to attend the banquet of thousands of seniors no matter what.

The reason is still because of Mi Sihan's words.

"If you want to participate in the Banquet of the Thousand Elders, let's talk about it when you are old. Don't think that you can increase your seniority with an old face."

Ling Bo was also very helpless, his old man's mouth was poisonous enough, so Yaerjiang would be willing to go, because if he did, he would become thick-skinned.

As a result, on March 27, Kangxi held a banquet in front of the main gate of Changchun Garden to entertain ministers of the Eight Banners, officers and soldiers, and idlers over 65 years old. Of course, other young princes and officials were also indispensable.

In fact, Yarjan'a was among those invited, but he was angry with Mi Sihan and himself, so he refused to go.

What's the matter, you old people drink and have fun in Changchun Garden, and I can find a place to drink and have fun by myself.

With this kind of childish idea in mind, Yaerjiang called his friends, called a group of people to the restaurant and came back again, and agreed not to return if he was not drunk.

At this time, Ling Bo has entered the period of waiting for delivery. According to the doctor's diagnosis, it is expected to give birth in three to five days.Wenpo and the imperial physician are already on standby, embroidering books and Ruidong are circling around her day and night, just waiting for her to start labor pains.

Today is the same, there are servants in the courtyard, and there are people in the house.

As usual, An Zhuxian came to her place to do needlework and chat with her, but he didn't say anything interesting. She had giggled to herself a dozen times while embroidering a flower.

"I said what's wrong with you today, what are you secretly having fun with?"

Ling Bo looked at her curiously.

An Zhuxian held his cheek with both hands and pressed it, then suppressed his smile and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of some funny jokes."

Before she finished speaking, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

Ling Bo said inexplicably: "Does any of you know what's wrong with her? Brother Jin, come here."

Brother Jin is An Zhuxian's girl, and she was the first to see Xia Ziyu's face clearly.

"Let me ask you, what's the matter with your princess? What makes her so happy?"

Brother Jin chuckled lightly and said, "So you don't know about Shao Fujin? Our emperor's [-]th birthday, on the Longevity Day, honored a group of eight-banner disciples. The uncle of the Wusu family, I don't know what meritorious service he has made. Having benefited from his sister's honor, caught up with the emperor's enfeoffment, and raised his title, now he is not the Duke of Fengen Town, but the son of Gushan."

Ling Bo was pleasantly surprised: "There is such a thing? It seems that it is also a good luck. In other words, your Ge Ge has the foresight."

An Zhuxian blushed, bit her lower lip and bowed her head, embroidering blindly.

However, Ling Bo rolled his eyes, and said again: "But what does this have to do with your family Ge Ge? It doesn't matter if he is promoted to a noble, that is his business. Why is your family Ge Ge so happy?"

"sister in law!"

An Zhuxian threw away the needle and thread in his hand, and became coquettishly coquettish.

Ling Bo hurriedly raised his hand to cover her face and said, "Don't rush at me, go shy at others."

Xiushu, Ruidong and others all laughed.

Brother Jin also said: "Young Fujin made fun of our Gege, don't you know that before that, Fujin looked down on the uncle of the Wusu family, and said that unless he got promoted, he should not think about our family's Gege. Now he has really become a baby girl, and with the addition of his sister's relationship, he doesn't look shabby anymore, the prince let go yesterday and said that as long as Ge Ge is willing, he will agree to get married with the other party."

Ling Bo clapped his hands and said: "No wonder, I said that today I saw a radiance of happiness in her heart, and the feeling is that a good thing is coming."

This time, An Zhuxian didn't feel coquettish, but blushed, grabbed the embroidery in his hand, and tugged it once and for all.

Everyone knew that she was acquiescing, and they couldn't help winking and laughing at each other.

Ling Bo also laughed twice, feeling vaguely that something was wrong with his stomach, frowned slightly, and put his hand on his swollen belly.

Xiu Shu just smiled, and saw her complexion change, and hurriedly said vigilantly: "What's wrong with Shao Fujin? But it hurts?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, they took the matter at hand to one side, and their faces became more serious.

Ling Bo quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't make a fuss, maybe it's the same as before, just a little bit of pain."

After entering the expectant period, her stomach would occasionally hurt, but the doctor said that this is a normal phenomenon, unless it is a continuous labor pain, otherwise it is not really about to give birth.

However, this time, it seems to be different from before.

As soon as Ling Bo finished speaking, his stomach hurt again, and it didn't show any signs of subsiding.

"En..." She moaned a little, and hugged her stomach with both hands.

"Young Fujin!"

Xiushu kept looking at her, and seeing her face change, she knew that the pain hadn't subsided, so she hurriedly supported her.

At this moment, Ling Bo felt that the pain seemed to be like ocean waves, attacking him wave after wave, sometimes faint and sometimes sharp, and suddenly a hot current gushed out from between his legs.

"This time it seems to be for real."

She said this in a little panic, with a hint of bewilderment and bewilderment.

That heat flow must be because the amniotic fluid has broken.

When Xiushu heard her words, he squatted down immediately, lifted her skirt and took a look, and exclaimed, "I'm red! I'm red!"

Ah!
Everyone turned pale with fright, threw away their belongings one after another, stood up and turned around in a hurry, not knowing what to do.

Although An Zhuxian was mentally prepared, he didn't know what to do, so he could only nervously say: "I'm going to have a baby, what should I do?"

At this moment Ling Bo could only groan in pain and couldn't talk anymore.

On the contrary, Xiushu and Ruidong, after all, have seen two production scenes with Ling Bo, one was at Fucha's house, when Fu Huisheng was with Zhuo; When Er Gege.Although it was their own master who gave birth this time, which was more important than any other time, the two girls were still stable.

Xiushu had already called the girl to come over, and worked together with Ruidong to lift Ling Bo to the bed, and then called again and again, giving a series of instructions.

"Both of you go and call the two stable women and the imperial physician."

"Both of you, go to boil hot water immediately and prepare clean handkerchiefs and scissors."

"You two, hurry up and get the swaddling clothes ready."

"You went to pick up wild ginseng slices and send them here."

Although the embroidered book was sweaty, it was orderly. A series of orders came down, and the girls who received the orders all went to carry out their tasks.

An Zhuxian grabbed the veil and asked, "What about me? How can I help?"

The embroidered book said: "Of course Ge Ge also has a task. You should hurry up and inform Fujin, saying that Shao Fujin is about to give birth. Then tell people to go to the palace and come back with the guests immediately, and inform Lord Baylor and the prince to come back as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, I will notify you immediately."

Immediately, An Zhuxian felt that he had received the most important task, so he dragged Jin Ge and ran out the door.

All of a sudden, the whole yard started to operate in an orderly manner like a clockwork machine. Everyone had their own responsibilities, and it seemed messy but not chaotic.

Wen Po has already entered the inner room, and the imperial physician is also waiting in the outer room.

Xiu Shu and Rui Dong stayed by the bed, helping Wen Po and cheering Ling Bo up.

The girls carried hot water, scissors, handkerchiefs, wild ginseng, etc., and shuttled back and forth non-stop.

Limbo began to moan and cry rhythmically in the room.

She had seen Fuhui give birth and Li Shi gave birth, but only when she gave birth herself did she truly appreciate the pain and hardship a woman goes through to give birth.
