In the bedroom, the imperial concubine on the bed was already sweating from the labor pains. She was inexperienced and had no idea what would happen next. She had never suffered so much before. Apart from the pain and discomfort, she had no idea what would happen next.
How about it? The emperor had issued a decree to invite Mrs. Tong to the palace to accompany him, but suddenly it was more than ten days early. Even if he went outside the palace overnight to invite his wife, it would take some time to arrive.
Lan Qi came in in a hurry. When the imperial concubine saw her, she had just recovered from the pain. She panted heavily and looked at the woman with the same big belly. She smiled bitterly and said: "You are so powerful. How dare you give birth to such a painful thing? I can't.
I never want to have children again.”
"Your Majesty, don't talk too much, breathe slowly, it will only take a few hours, and you will be fine. When you see the child jumping around in the future, you will not be able to remember the pain today at all." Lan Qi tried her best to comfort her, but the imperial concubine was again
A sharp pain hit me. In the pain, I could faintly hear someone outside saying, "Brother Si, you can't go in. Brother Si, be obedient."
Lan Qi also heard it. When she was hesitating, she heard the imperial concubine say: "Go and tell Yinzhen that I'm fine. Don't let him in."
"yes."
"Wu Yalanqi." The imperial concubine suddenly called her by her first and last name. Lanqi listened blankly, "The imperial doctor said that women are on the line between life and death when giving birth. If I can't survive, Yinzhen will be yours.
"
Lan Qi pursed her lips and looked at her, not knowing what to say, while the imperial concubine gasped for breath and said: "If I really can't survive it, you must take good care of Yinzhen, don't let him be wronged, don't let him be
Brothers bully me, my son must be the best, he will definitely be the best prince."
These words make it seem as if the imperial concubine is the biological mother of the fourth elder brother, and Lan Qi is just the adoptive mother who will take over in the future. Maybe Lan Qi would feel uncomfortable about this in normal times, but now the person in front of her is on the verge of life and death. She is because
She loved that child so much that she said these words. Not only did Lan Qi not care, but she was also moved by the imperial concubine’s sincere love for the child. She nodded repeatedly and said: "I listen to you, I am the queen, but the fourth elder brother loves you so much."
You, are you willing to leave him alone? Giving birth to a child is not like going to the guillotine, it’s not that scary. I am taking my fourth brother outside, waiting for your good news."
The imperial concubine's face was full of impatience, as if she was worried about teaching Yinzhen to Lan Qi, and seemed unwilling to die just like that. Before Lan Qi could walk out the door, she heard the imperial concubine was so weak and was still scolding the midwives.
: "Give the baby a good job for me, otherwise you won't be able to live."
Hearing this, Lan Qi felt inexplicably relieved. The imperial concubine still had such spirit, so nothing big could happen to her. As soon as she came out, Yinzhen came up to her and asked, "Empress De Fei, what's wrong with my empress?"
Lan Qi comforted him: "Your Majesty is going to give birth to a younger brother and sister for Fourth Elder Brother. Can you wait with me for Fourth Elder Brother? Your Majesty asked you to wait for her good news. Does Fourth Elder Brother want a younger brother or a younger sister?"
But the little guy took Lan Qi's hand and walked to the side hall, and said seriously: "My younger brothers and sisters all like it. It's good that E Niang is fine. E Niang is working hard."
Lan Qi felt sour in her heart. She wished her son could love her like this, but she felt very happy about it. Her Yinzhen was so kind and lovely. The imperial concubine herself had a bad temper, but she taught her son so well.
Earlier, so many people doubted her, and even instigated relationships with each other from time to time. The imperial concubine finally managed to save herself from making these people laugh.
Concubine Rong saw Lan Qi coming out and quickly took her to sit in the side hall. Without asking how the imperial concubine was, she asked Lan Qi if she felt uncomfortable. She smiled and said, "The imperial concubine is like that and she still has the strength to curse."
, of course I’m fine.”
"She scolded you?" Concubine Rong asked in surprise, "What did she scold you for?"
Lan Qi smiled and said: "What you are scolding me for is scolding the midwives for being clumsy and warning them to be careful with their heads."
Concubine Rong clicked her tongue and said, "You are the empress after all. Anyone else would be frightened to death. How can I be in the mood to blame the servants?"
After waiting for a full hour, there was no sign of anything going on inside. I only knew that the imperial concubine was getting weaker and weaker, and was no longer able to scold others like the leader. Yinzhen also fell asleep on Lan Qi's lap, but
Just as he was about to ask the wet nurse to take Brother Si away, the little guy woke up and asked nervously, "Are you okay?"
Lan Qi could only continue to take care of him personally. Later, Mrs. Tong came to the palace overnight, and the imperial concubine had her own mother by her side. She was no longer so hesitant and afraid. Although it was painful, things went smoothly. Lan Qi and Concubine Rong were waiting outside again.
After more than an hour, when Concubine Rong was persuading her to go back and rest, the baby's cry finally came from inside.
Both of them were overjoyed, but immediately calmed down nervously and continued to wait for the news. Yinzhen woke up sleepily, heard the cry of the baby, raised his head and asked Lan Qi: "Empress De Fei, you are my little brother
?”
A maid from the inner palace came out to spread the news and said happily: "The Imperial Concubine is very happy. She has given birth to a little princess. Mother and daughter are safe."
Concubine Rong and Lan Qi both breathed a sigh of relief, and Concubine Rong asked repeatedly: "Is your mother okay?"
"The imperial doctor said she has suffered from exhaustion and collapse. There is no postpartum hemorrhage, and there is no pulse disorder. Don't worry, ladies and gentlemen." After saying this, the palace maid turned back and was busy asking for help. It took more than half an hour to stop.
Concubine Rong and Lan Qi led the fourth brother in. The concubine was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. She opened her eyes and saw them coming in. When she saw Yinzhen rushing toward her, a gentle smile appeared on her weak and pale face, and she gently touched Yinzhen.
Zhen's head said: "Why don't you go to bed so late? I'm going to be angry. Go to bed quickly."
"Eniang, are you still in pain?" Yinzhen saw his mother's expression was so bad. Even a child knew what being sick meant. He rubbed the imperial concubine's arm with tears in his eyes and murmured distressedly, "Eniang, don't feel any pain. I'm obedient.
.”
Mrs. Tong came over with the baby in her arms, leaned down to show it to Yinzhen, and said with a smile: "Look, brother four, this is the little princess, brother four's little sister."
Yinzhen looked at the little baby with his eyes closed curiously. The newborn baby was not very good-looking. He frowned slightly and said childishly: "My sister is not good-looking, not as good-looking as my mother-in-law."
Everyone in the room laughed. The imperial concubine coaxed him a few words and then had the child taken away. Concubine Rong and Lan Qi came forward to congratulate him. They looked at the pot-bellied Lan Qi like a winner, obviously.
He had no strength to speak, but he still maintained a sense of pride and said: "Yinzhen and I are destined to be mother and son, and no one can break it up. Go back quickly, and hang around my place with your belly full. If the emperor wants anything,
You're relying on me."
Concubine Rong pulled Lan Qi, but in fact Lan Qi would not talk back or refute anything. If the imperial concubine did not do this, they would be surprised. After the two congratulated each other, they left. Concubine Rong told Qinglian some things, and sent
People sent news to Cining Palace and Ningshou Palace, and finally sent Lan Qi back in person. He felt relieved when he saw her lying back down, and said with a smile: "What the Imperial Concubine said is true. If you make any mistake, the Emperor will contact you."
I have to rely on it too."
Lan Qi scolded her: "Sister, can't you bully me too? You've worked hard too, so go and have a rest. Tomorrow, you have to go to Cining Palace and Ningshou Palace."
Concubine Rong tiredly supported her waist and sighed: "People say that those who are capable work hard, but I am so stupid that I am busy all day long." She glanced at Lan Qi and said, "In a few years, please help me."
Lan Qi smiled and said nothing and asked Huan Chun to see Concubine Rong off. When Huan Chun came back, Lan Qi was so sleepy that she almost fell asleep. She quietly put down the curtain, but suddenly she heard her master say: "The Imperial Concubine's
The imperial doctor also said that this princess will not live long, but she is not very sad. The emperor feels relieved when she is like this. And I was so heartbroken last year that I must have caused a lot of trouble to the emperor."
Huan Chun was stunned and said softly: "Master, why did you remember this?"
"A year has passed and I still remember my daughter's appearance clearly, as if it was yesterday." Lan Qi choked up slightly. She didn't know why she was in the mood now. She protected her belly with both hands and said, "There is a baby in my belly."
Just be a daughter, my daughter will definitely come to see you again."
Huan Chun held the tent and saw his mistress Chu Chu pitiful. He smiled and asked, "Actually, your Majesty wants to be the emperor, right?"
Lan Qi suddenly opened her eyes and smiled shyly: "If you don't tell me, will I still think you are mute?"
At dawn the next day, the news spread that the imperial concubine of Chengqian Palace had given birth to the little princess ahead of schedule. Neither the Queen Mother nor the Queen Mother were disturbed last night. They were surprised when they found out about it in the morning. The Queen Mother secretly
He said to his mother: "Concubine Rong is becoming more and more responsible. She can take care of these things by herself. Please watch her steps for me and don't interact too much with people like Concubine Hui. I'm still looking forward to it."
She will take care of the palace affairs with Lan Qi in the future."
Naturally, the good news of the birth of the imperial concubine was rushed to Mulan Paddock. The emperor only received the news that the imperial concubine had given birth to a little princess one day later. Mongolian princes and ministers congratulated each other and prepared to celebrate lively in the paddock.
In this way, the day to go back and forth from Luang is no longer hasty, and the day to return to Beijing has not been set yet.
For those who like the grassland, they are happy to be at ease here. Of course, there are also those who are not accustomed to the soil and water here. Seeing that they don’t know when they will return, they will inevitably have complaints in private. And for Jue Chan, he is as gentle as Shen Wan
Being in the same place, whether we see each other or not, is torture.
That night Xiang He was whipped severely by Jing Concubine, but such a thing would bring embarrassment to the emperor, and no one dared to report it to the superiors. The noble Jue Chan suffered the loss because he was inexplicably tortured by Jing Concubine. Others
She had little contact with her, so naturally everyone avoided her. Tong Bin was kind-hearted and would visit her from time to time. When asked about Jing Bin's affairs, Jue Chan had no intention of seeking justice and just treated her in a perfunctory manner.
At this time, Tong Bin came to see her again and brought her fresh fruits. She said that the imperial concubine in the palace had given birth to a little princess and that the emperor was going to hold a bonfire party. Tong Bin smiled bitterly: "Thankfully it was cold at night on the grassland, otherwise
It's so hot to burn a bonfire on a hot day. My sisters are going to go that day, so you should go too, otherwise you'll be at a disadvantage if you stay here alone and something happens."
