On this day, winter was rising. Although there was snow in Chang'an City, the coldness of ten miles of ice still penetrated every corner of the market. Accompanied by the cries of the pickers and the laughter of children, Chongrenfang also gradually

When it gets lively, compared to a place where ordinary people gather, this place is considered a place with a lot of money. However, compared with Anxingfang and Shengyefang, which are either rich or expensive, this place still loses a bit of its heritage and charm.

momentum.

Looking around, there is a house located in a secluded area of ​​Chongrenfang. It looks low-key and wealthy. The word "Xu Mansion" is written on the door plaque. It is the famous Xu family of silk and satin merchants in Shiping County, Jingzhao County. Although there is no Chang'an in the house.

The mansions of the city's dignitaries generally occupy a large area, but they can also be called pavilions, pavilions, rockeries and lotus ponds. They are quite ingenious and have a unique feeling of a cave.

"Young Madam, come on, let's use our strength little by little -"

At this moment, the cautious and nervous voice of the mother-in-law came from the east courtyard of Xu Mansion. The maids in blue coats and skirts outside the courtyard were all coming and going in a hurry. Xu Hui, a young man in brown uniforms, heard the bursts of women's eating coming from inside the house.

There were sounds of pain and breathing, and a layer of forbearing worry appeared on Qingjun's face.

"Da Lang——"

Xu Hui, who was guarding the door, couldn't help but want to step in again. She sat on a bed decorated with rosewood, peonies and flowers. She was wearing a crimson pine and crane embroidered gold brocade jacket and skirt, and a green broken gold shawl.

The woman He, who had her hair tied up in a high bun and wore a red gold hairpin embellished with precious stones, frowned slightly and held a bracelet with one hundred and eight tourmaline and jade bodhi beads.

His hands tightened softly, and the next moment he leaned forward calmly and handed them to the stove to dry them, and lightly reminded in his words: "You can't help the bride giving birth, just sit here and wait.

It is even more disrespectful to behave like a young man who has not yet been crowned." (Note: After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the daughter-in-law was called the bride.)

Hearing the woman's slightly reproachful words, Xu Hui glanced at the tightly closed thick soft curtains, finally endured it, turned to his mother, cupped her hands and said, "What Aniang said is that my son is not stable anymore.

"

Having said that, Xu Hui glanced sideways at the soft curtain, but the tension and worry in her eyes did not diminish at all.

"It's just that it has been extremely difficult for Sanniang to give birth to heirs for her son and the Xu family these past years——"

Hearing that her son was looking at the untouchable woman in the room, Mr. He's eyes immediately darkened, and she said with a hint of indifference: "It is the duty of a woman to pass on the incense, you see.

Look at the Chen family and the Liu family who are close friends of our Xu family.

, the daughter-in-law of any family has not given birth to one legitimate son after another, but she was born with nothing but a daughter. We watched her marry for many years, and the love she had been married to for many years was already given to her without marrying a side wife and taking a concubine.

She has so much face, why does she have to work so hard?"

"Auntie——"

Just when the man frowned and was about to say something, the curtain suddenly became quiet, and all the sounds seemed to have stopped suddenly. Then the hanging curtain was suddenly opened by someone. Seeing this, Xu Hui rushed forward, only to see

It belongs to his wife Xie

The personal maid Zhilan walked out quickly through the curtain, her forehead was soaked with sweat in the cold winter. Even if she met him face to face, she only curtsied hastily and carried a large and deep red lacquer painted pomegranate pattern.

The food box should go outwards.

"Zhilan, how are you, young lady?"

Seeing the husband holding her in front of her, anxiously waiting for an answer, Zhilan finally couldn't help but shed tears and said: "The young lady has been in labor for too long, and she can't use her strength at the moment. The female gentleman is giving in."

The slave girl rushes to bring another cup of ginseng soup to replenish the young lady's strength, otherwise I'm afraid she will be in danger——"

After saying that, Zhilan didn't wait for the dalangjun in front of her, who turned pale and looked dazed, and immediately carefully picked up the food box in her hand and hurried out.

Seeing such a scene, Mr. He, who was sitting aside, looked even more ugly. He snorted unhappily and said: "Without the body of a noble lady, but still with all the pomp and circumstance, who can give birth to a child with her?"

Are you usually polite and pretentious and just think that this ginseng soup is pure water for free?"

"Aniang!"

At this moment, Xu Hui, who was standing outside the door, could no longer bear it. For the first time, she interrupted the scolding of her biological mother He, regardless of etiquette and filial piety.

When Mrs. He saw that her biological son, who was born in ten months of pregnancy, was actually married to a bride with a foreign surname, she frowned and embarrassed her in front of all the maids and women, so she couldn't help but stood up suddenly.

At this moment, the soft curtain was opened again. When He saw the deserted and expressionless face, he could only suppress the anger in his heart no longer.

"The mother needs to be clean. If the wife and husband can't do it, they'd better go to the side hospital and wait."

Mrs. He choked and turned pale at these unkind words, but the female gentleman in front of her was hired by the Xu family with a large sum of money to help Mr.

Made on top

Her attainments were so high that even the dignitaries in Chang'an City spent a lot of money to wait and see their fate before inviting her over. Therefore, facing her rudeness at this moment, she couldn't say anything, so she had to endure it and said

Sit back.

"Sir, Sanniang, how is Sanniang-"

After hearing this, Wan Zhuang glanced at the worried face in front of her and wanted to pull her away, but after thinking about the etiquette of men and women, she retracted her hand. She couldn't help but clenched her fists to suppress the nervous man. Although her expression did not change, her tone was reluctant.

He calmed down a bit and said, "If you want the young lady to be safe, please be patient and wait outside. The most important thing is not to delay me."

Having said that, no matter what the scene was outside, I immediately threw away my evening makeup and closed the curtain, turning around, and then I heard the sound of the door closing again from inside the curtain.

Xu Hui was left standing there in a daze, looking at the woven and embroidered curtains in front of her, her hands clenched and shaking uncontrollably, and there were tears hidden in her eyes.

About an hour later, the imperial guard outside the Suzaku Gate was still standing there like a stone sculpture, looking straight ahead.

At this moment, the sound of hurried hoofbeats and wheels running over stone bricks gradually grew closer and closer. The people guarding the city gate immediately followed the sound and saw a carriage rushing by at an extremely fast speed.

When they came, the guard immediately stepped forward to block the way and shouted: "Who is coming and where are you going?"

Seeing this, the officer driving the car had no choice but to pull the reins. Almost at the same time, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened by a hand, and the guard blocking the door saw two very familiar faces from inside the carriage.

"Madam Niannu, Madam Yunu."

Nian Nu and Yu Nu looked at the guards who were handing over to them. When their eyes met, they immediately took out the palace card of Li Zheng Palace and said eagerly: "Her Royal Highness the Queen is about to give birth. We are waiting to honor Wei Jieyu, Princess Yongning."

Order, summon the wife of the imperial officer and the imperial doctor to the palace urgently!"

When they heard that Queen Yang was giving birth, the guards who blocked the road for inspection were shocked. They knew very well how noble this prince of the Tian family was, who had the blood of the royal family and the blood of Taiwei Yang. If anything went wrong because of their obstruction,

All the people they were guarding today might not be able to survive even if they offered their heads, so when the leader saw this, he quickly clasped his fists and backed away, shouting hastily: "Quick, let me go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards behind him immediately retreated, and the official sitting in front of the carriage no longer waited, and immediately drove his horse away at a gallop, leaving only the wet tracks of the carriage and horses running over.

Watching the carriages and horses go away, the guards guarding the Zhuque Gate couldn't help but become nervous. According to Her Highness the Queen's delivery date, it should be nearly a month away. Why did she suddenly have an attack today? I just looked at the Queen's phoenix body.
