Chapter 1504? Providence
It was snowing, and the people of the capital ushered in the last day of the ninth year of Jiajing in the heavy snow, New Year's Eve. This was a festive day for family reunion, but Jiajing spent the rest of his life in pain. The imperial concubine He Zhier was about to give birth, but she saw red from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Six hours passed, but she still had no birth and had signs of difficult labor.
Jiajing also waited outside the delivery room for six hours. Before the drop of water was in, he was anxious. He listened to the increasingly weak moans and moans inside, Jiajing was so anxious that his heart was as if he was slashed. Empress Dowager Jiang had also been here three times. She had not eaten dinner at this moment, and she was still chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha in the Buddhist temple in the Cining Palace, praying for the Buddha to bless the peace of all and big.
In the Xu Mansion in Xiaofang, Xu Jin and Xie Xiaowan and other girls had no intention of having the New Year’s Eve dinner at all, and were nervously waiting for the news from the palace to come. I hope it would be a good news, not a bad news!
It was eight o'clock in the evening, and the entire Chengqian Palace was brightly lit. The palace maids and eunuchs were in and out like a lantern, but everyone was holding their breath and calm. Jiajing was walking back and forth like a trapped beast outside the delivery room. The snow was flying outside the house and the north wind whistled, covering up the sound of the delivery room, which was very annoying. However, although Jiajing was the Supreme Lord of the Nine Five, he had no right to order God to stop the wind and snow.
Suddenly, a faint cry seemed to be heard from the sound of wind and snow. Jiajing was so excited that he stopped and listened with his ears. Yes, it was the cry of the baby. The cry of the baby came from the delivery room. It was still faint at first, and then the cry became louder and louder. The loud cry of the baby broke through the sound of wind and snow and resounded throughout the palace.
Jiajing rushed to the door of the delivery room, slapped the door hard, and shouted Zhier's name. The door of the room opened. A nanny in charge of delivering the baby smiled and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the concubine gave birth to a white and fat little prince, and the mother and son are safe! Congratulations!"
Jiajing was so excited that he was about to burst into the room, and the old lady immediately stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, you have not cleaned up the dirty inside yet. It is unlucky to dirty the dragon body carefully."
It's a bad thing. If you block me again, I will make you unlucky. Jiajing pushed away the old maid's hand and rushed in. The palace maid inside was cleaning up the dirt. When he saw Jiajing breaking in, he quickly knelt down and saluted, saying that he would meet the emperor.
Jiajing walked to the bed in two steps in three steps. He Zhier was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his body covered with two quilts, his hair was still wet. Jiajing couldn't help but feel tight, but when he saw the slightly undulating quilt, he breathed a sigh of relief and called out: "Sister Zhier!"
"Emperor, Concubine He has been tossing for a day and is exhausted. Don't bother her, let her rest for a while." A gentle voice came from the side.
Only then did Jiajing notice that Concubine Shu was standing aside with a tired face, holding the red festive cradle, and couldn't help but feel moved: "Thank you for your hard work, let me see my son."
Concubine Shu smiled, lifted the swaddle clothes, revealing a pink little ball of meat inside. Jiajing looked closely for a moment and smiled and said, "This little bastard's hair is quite thick, but it's too skinny, which makes his mother trouble for a day, and I've been worried for a day, so it should be beaten."
Concubine Shu burst into laughter and said, "Who calls her son a little bastard, then the emperor himself has become..."
Jiajing laughed, probably because he was laughing too loudly. He Zhier on the bed was woken up, slowly opened her eyes and called out: "Master!"
Jiajing immediately turned around and rushed forward, saying happily: "Sister Zhier, you are awake."
"Baobao!" He Zhier said weakly.
"Baobao? Does Sister Zhier want to eat buns? I'll order someone to make it right away!"
"Baby, my son!" He Zhier said angrily.
Concubine Shu smiled and brought the baby in the swaddled clothes up. He Zhier struggled to sit up. The nanny next to her hurriedly held her down and reminded her: "The Concubine can't sit up yet, lie down quickly."
Jiajing also helped to press it. He Zhier gave Jiajing a blank look and sat down reluctantly. However, when Shufei lifted the cradle and let her see, her eyes instantly filled with love. She carefully reached out and touched her son's little face. When Jiajing wanted to touch it, she hit the back of her hand and said angrily: "You are not allowed to touch it. You have been standing outside for so long, and your hands are cold."
Jiajing retracted his hand depressedly, but there was a very smirk on his face: "Okay, I won't touch it, sister Zhier, don't be angry, I will warm my hands first!" After that, he really walked to the stove to dry his hands.
Concubine Shu was both funny and envious. After finishing her hands, Jiajing stepped forward and took the cradle from Concubine Shu's arms. After all, she was the father of two children, so she was still very skilled in picking up.
"Hehe, your eyes are like Sister Zhier, and your mouth is like me!" Jiajing hugged his son happily and said, "I have to think of a domineering and nice name."
Concubine Shu smiled and suggested, "This kid was born on New Year's Eve. If you have a nickname, just call it Jiaozi. As for Daming, the emperor can think about it slowly!"
Jiajing's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Duozi is good, I will call you dumplings from now on, Sister Zhier, what do you think?"
He Zhier nodded and smiled sweetly, "It's called dumplings!"
"Oh, when it comes to dumplings, I'm hungry!" Jiajing said, covering his stomach.
The old maid next to her smiled and interrupted, "The emperor has been standing outside for a day, and the water has not flowed in, so it's amazing if you're not hungry."
He Zhier felt warm when she heard this, and her nose was so sore that she said angrily: "Why don't you go eat something quickly, you'll have to eat milk as well."
"Yes, the little prince is going to have to have breastfeeding, and the princess needs to have a good rest. The emperor should go out quickly." The nanny advised.
Jiajing had no choice but to hand over his son to the wet nurse and leave the room. As soon as he walked out of the delivery room, he saw Empress Dowager Jiang and Empress Wu rushing to come.
"Mom is coming!" Jiajing said with a smile.
Empress Dowager Jiang asked anxiously: "Emperor, has the Ai family heard the news that the Imperial Concubine was born?"
Jiajing smiled and said, "I've been born, I'm a fat boy. The mother and son are safe. Don't worry about the queen!"
Empress Dowager Jiang smiled suddenly, and put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, okay, that's great. The Ai family will go in and see their good grandson."
Jiajing hurriedly said, "The emperor is raising breasts, and his beloved concubine also needs to rest. The queen of mother should come to see her tomorrow."
Empress Dowager Jiang gave Jiajing a blank look and said angrily: "You are a heartless person. Ai's family has been worried for a day. Now you can't see your good grandson!"
Jiajing had no choice but to smile and said, "Okay, okay, my mother wants to see it, but it's better not to stay too much."
Empress Dowager Jiang then turned angry and said, "The Ai family has its own qualities." After that, she entered the room happily.
Queen Wu congratulated Jiajing with a far-fetched smile, and then followed Empress Jiang into the room.
Jiajing touched his deflated belly and was about to ask someone to get some food to fill his stomach when he suddenly woke up something and called a small yellow gate to his side and ordered: "You go to the Beijing Palace to report good news."
Xiaohuangmen smiled and said, "Since this morning, the imperial concubine entered the delivery room, Prince Beijing sent someone to wait outside the palace gate, and reported the letter every half hour. It can be seen that Prince Beijing is quite concerned about the imperial concubine. I was just thinking about the safety of the imperial concubine and the son. Should the emperor send someone to the Beijing Palace to report the joy, so as not to worry about the prince and his family."
When Jiajing heard this, he felt warm and waved his hand, "You talk too much, go quickly. With the nature of King Beijing, the silver reward will be very generous!"
The little yellow party said happily: "Actually, the servant who rewards silver doesn't care. It's mainly because he can report the good news for the emperor, and the servant is happy!"
Jiajing laughed and said, "Have you ever been sucked in your mouth? You have to finish this errand and go back to the Ganqing Palace to serve me!"
The little yellow gate was overjoyed and left Chengqian Palace happily.
Let’s talk about the Xu family in the Xiaofang. When they learned that Concubine He had successfully given birth to a prince and that the mother and son were safe, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and were all over the place. Xu Jin let out a long sigh, Zhier gave birth to a prince, it seems that God’s will, it’s very good!
Bang bang bang...
The gorgeous fireworks exploded over the Beijing Palace, and the whole palace was filled with joy. At this hour, the New Year's Eve of Xu's Mansion really began!
"Hey, it seems that Prince Beijing has received the news!" As soon as the little yellow gate in charge of the announcement arrived outside the Xu Mansion gate, he saw the brilliant fireworks rising from the courtyard wall and hurried forward to knock on the door.
"Congratulations to Prince Beijing for being the uncle. Concubine He Guizheng gave birth to a prince at the beginning. The mother and son are safe. The emperor ordered a slave to come and announce the good news!" The little yellow gate entered the Xu Mansion and smiled and announced the good news to Xu Jin, Xie Xiaowan and others.
Xu Jin said in a spring breeze: "Thank you little brother, come here, please see the reward!"
