Except for Huangfu Liyuan, who was leading the troops, almost the entire palace of the general's palace was dispatched.
When they arrived outside the palace gate, Huangfu Lingfeng discovered that another exquisite and luxurious carriage had arrived before them. Two familiar people stepped out of the carriage, none other than Princess Wuyang and her mother, Princess Pingle.
As soon as the two parties met, Mrs. Huangfu who got off the carriage was surprised at first, and then understood: "The eldest princess also entered the palace under the order?"
Princess Pingle nodded: "I heard that the Queen has a stomach attack."
"Fortunately, it's already passed the time of birth, so being born on the first day of the first lunar month is considered a lucky draw." Mrs. Huangfu smiled, "The ministers used to worry about the unreliability of foreign princesses. In my opinion, this empress is the real gift to the East.
A person who brings good fortune."
The two of them quickly entered the palace without much exchange of greetings.
Princess Wuyang and Huangfu Chuchu followed in. Huangfu Lingfeng ordered Rong Zhanhe and the guards to wait outside the palace, and he followed in immediately.
Mrs. Huangfu and Princess Hepingle hurried into the palace. From a distance, they saw that the emperor was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. They hurriedly stepped into the palace door and saluted the emperor, but they couldn't help being surprised.
This emperor has been cold and indifferent since he returned to Dongyou. He doesn't care about anyone in front of him or behind him. His temperament is as cold as iron, and he almost never loses his temper.
Unexpectedly, all his calmness was destroyed once the queen gave birth.
But it's normal. When a man encounters this kind of thing for the first time, he will be a little bit embarrassed. When he has more sons and daughters in the future, he won't care anymore.
"Your Majesty." Princess Pingle saluted and asked proactively, "How is the Queen?"
"Nothing happened." Sicang turned around and saw the two of them. He calmed down and said calmly, "You two go in and take a look."
Mrs. Huangfu comforted her: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Wen Po is experienced. The Empress has always been in good health, so there won't be any problems."
What Si Cang wants to say is that even if there is no big problem, I heard that women will experience labor pains when they give birth, and just now a woman said that labor pains do not necessarily last long. Some people have long periods, some have short periods, and some can hurt for up to two days.
Days and two nights.
When he thought of this, Si Cang couldn't help but feel worried, fearing that Yun Zishu would also be in pain for two days and two nights.
"Your Majesty, please relax." Mrs. Huangfu smiled, "It is said that children born in the first month of the first lunar month are born with precious life and a smooth life. Your Majesty should be happy."
Si Cang was silent for a moment: "It's too early to be happy now. I won't be happy until I'm sure both mother and child are safe."
Mrs. Huangfu's mouth twitched slightly, "My wife and the eldest princess will go in and take a look. Your Majesty, please be patient and find a place to rest for a while."
After saying that, the two hurriedly walked towards Nuange.
"Your Majesty." Yuan Hai stood outside the palace, "Master Huangfu wishes to see you."
Sicang turned around and walked out. Huangfu Lingfeng was in the pavilion outside the palace. When he saw Sicang approaching, he respectfully bowed as a monarch and a minister: "Your Majesty."
"It's so late, please go to the palace."
"It is the duty of ministers to share the emperor's worries and relieve his labors." Huangfu Lingfeng saw that he was anxious and unbearable, and comforting him would not be of much use at this time, so he suggested: "May I accompany the emperor in the next game?"
Sicang was not in the mood and shook his head slowly.
"Do something else to divert your attention, so that it won't be too painful." Huangfu Lingfeng said, "Otherwise——"
Before he could finish speaking, Sicang walked quickly into the palace.
Huangfu Lingfeng looked at his obviously panicked steps and silently swallowed back his unfinished words.
Sicang watched the maids coming in and out, and asked worriedly: "How is the queen?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a suppressed cry of pain penetrated his eardrums. Si Cang's heart tightened and he subconsciously wanted to break into Nuan Pavilion. By chance, a nun came out and saw him breaking in. She screamed: "What are you doing, Your Majesty?"
You can't come in!"
Sicang was unprepared and was pushed out by her. Then with a "bang", the door of Nuange directly hit his nose.
Sicang took a step back and was stunned for a moment.
There was a low hiss in the Nuang Pavilion. If Si Cang hadn't had good hearing, he would have almost missed it. He could imagine how much pain Zishu felt now, and the pain made his heart clench into a ball.
Huangfu Lingfeng stood in the pavilion outside, looking at the dark night sky. Most of the bright fireworks had ended, and only sporadic fireworks exploded in the sky occasionally, scattering like umbrellas. He sighed in his heart and said
It is true that a hero has a hard time being a beauty.
The noble and majestic king of a country is in chaos just because the queen gives birth to a child. How can he still have any composure?
This night was destined to be a torment for Sicang, and it was almost like a year. The sounds of "hot water", "scissors", and "harder" came from the Nuang Pavilion. The sounds of hissing came and went, and sometimes there was a cup of hot water.
When he went in, the palace maids came out with blood in their hands, which made him flustered.
He couldn't help but want to break in several times, but he was worried that he would cause trouble to them, so he had to control his legs.
Until the sky was bright, and with a cry of "Wow", Po Wen cried out in surprise: "Baby, baby, the queen has given birth to a prince!"
Sicang's clenched hands suddenly loosened up, his palms were covered in cold sweat, and the heart he was holding fell halfway to the ground.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty! The Queen has given birth to a little prince!" Po Wen came out to announce the good news, "The Queen and the little prince are both safe."
Si Cang snorted, and the remaining half of his heart also dropped, and asked majestically: "Can I go in now?"
"Not yet, please wait a moment, Your Majesty." Wen Po turned around and walked in. Several Wen Pos quickly cleaned the newborn baby and wrapped it in thick swaddling clothes before Mrs. Huangfu carried it away.
He went to the outer hall and gave the emperor a look, "This is the little prince, he looks very much like the emperor."
Sicang asked: "How is the queen's condition?"
"The queen is fine." Mrs. Huangfu said with a smile, "She is just a little weak after giving birth. Once Mrs. Wen cleans up the queen, the emperor can go in and accompany the queen."
Sicang raised his hand to take the infant child, lowered his head and looked at his face, "Is this the child of me and the queen?"
This is a really good question.
Mrs. Huangfu's expression was subtle, and she wanted to reply to him, this is not your child, could it be someone else's? Besides, except for the queen, there is no other woman giving birth to a child in the Nuan Pavilion, how can they suddenly conjure up a child?
However, considering that the other party was the king of a country, he couldn't say anything disrespectful, so he gave up.
Fortunately, Si Cang soon realized that he had asked a question. His eyes fell on the child's face. Duan Xiang looked from left to right, but he didn't see anything about this wrinkled little face that looked like him: "Madam just said that he looks like him."
Like me?"
Mrs. Huangfu's words were concise and concise: "They are carved from the same mold."
Yeah?
Sicang was confused. Why didn't he see how this face, which was smaller than an adult's hand, looked similar to his?
