As soon as he arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Chu Yiqing felt a stomachache. However, he calculated the days and found that there was still more than a month until the delivery date. Chu Yiqing thought that the bumps on the road had caused the tire pressure, so he was about to let Lei Lei go.
I gave her some anti-fetal medicine, but I didn't expect that when I got out of the car, I just felt wet all over my body.
"Madam, the amniotic water has broken!" Fortunately, Xu Zhi has been following Chu Yiqing these days. When he saw the situation in front of him, Xu Zhi knew something about it and quickly told Chu Yiqing to lie down in the car and not move, letting people
He went to the mansion and carried Chu Yiqing onto the soft couch, then carried him into the room.
At this time, Li Huang was accompanying the emperor in the imperial study room in the palace. Now that it was almost the New Year, he had to offer sacrifices and pray for blessings. He was discussing with the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household, when he saw Lei Yuan hurriedly came to give him a blessing.
The emperor saw the gift and said anxiously: "Report to the emperor, Prince Concubine, Concubine Chu is about to give birth!"
Li Huang stiffened and quickly put down the memorial in his hand. He didn't even bother to salute the emperor. He turned around and went out with Lei Yuan. As he ran out, he asked: "How is the situation? Is it going well? Lei Lei and Xu Zhi are both here.
Okay? No, no, you can go to the palace and find some experienced nuns, preferably those from the Queen Mother’s palace!"
Lei Yuan responded quickly.[
Li Li also stood up, his face full of excitement. Thinking about it, he hadn't heard the cry of a child in this palace for a long time. He wanted to take a look, but he couldn't hold back his face. Finally, he sat down again and looked back.
Yang Xin said: "Keep talking!"
Yang Xin was about to continue talking when Wu Yi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is really interested in this Concubine Chu. When he heard that Concubine Chu was going to have a baby, he even forgot about etiquette!"
Li Li frowned and was speechless.
Yang Xin hurriedly said: "That is the grandson of our Li Kingdom, so the prince is naturally interested in you!" After Yang Xin finished speaking, he turned to Li Xin with clasped fists and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, you are going to be the emperor's grandfather again!
His Royal Highness is so cute, I believe this little grandson must be just as good!"
When he thought of A Bao's strange spirit, Li Li slowly frowned. These days, A Bao often came to the palace, and his relationship with A Bao became much closer. That day he went to the Queen Mother's palace and caught up with the Queen Mother.
When eating the fried pancakes, he stepped forward and tasted one, and it was Ah Bao who served it himself. Thinking of the delicacy of the pancakes and Ah Bao's filial piety, Li Li felt sweet in his heart! He was getting old too.
In the past, he killed brothers and killed brothers, and he did a lot of bad things. Now that he has children and grandchildren around his knees, it can be considered that God has treated him well!
When Wu Yi saw the emperor frowning again, he knew that Yang Xin had destroyed him again this time. He frowned and was about to say something else, but was pushed into a corner by Lu Youli and others.
Wu Yiqi's face turned red, but there was nothing he could do.
After leaving the imperial study, Yang Xin and Lu Youli walked in front, chatting and laughing, while Wu Yi walked behind with a dark face. As they were walking, they were stopped by someone.
"Is it you?" Wu Yi raised his eyes and glanced at the person, his face even more ugly.
The visitor's name is Teng Shikai, the son of Teng Mingyi, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites. He has been working in the Ministry of Rites as a fine dining official, in charge of banquets, food, food, livestock, and prison affairs. He has not had much contact with martial arts before.
"Master Wu, now that Lu Youli has been appointed as the Minister of Rites, he has joined forces with Yang Xin and others, and two-thirds of the people in the court are already the prince's people. Looking at his humble position, Master Wu should also be aware of current affairs and become a hero!" Teng Shikai smiled.
said.
Wu Yi frowned, slapped Teng Shikai on the face, and cursed: "Are you here to make fun of me too? You are so brave!"
Teng Shikai covered his face, suppressed his smile, and said quickly: "My lord has misunderstood, Shikai wants to defect to you!"
Wu Yi felt a little regretful about the slap. After all, Teng Shikai was also an official, and he was wearing a sixth-grade official robe. If his behavior was looked at by Lu Youli, an old stubborn, he might have caused some trouble.
Come!
Wu Yi thought deeply, stared at Teng Shikai and asked, "Do you really want to defect to me?"
Teng Shikai nodded quickly, "I just wanted to attract your attention, but I didn't expect to make you so angry!"
Wu Yi snorted coldly and asked: "Just now you said that two-thirds of the people in the court belong to the prince. Why don't you go to the prince and come to me?"
Teng Shikai quickly said in a low voice: "My father had some grudges with the Hua family before. Now the head of the Hua family, Chu Yiqing, has become the crown prince's concubine. Who doesn't know about the crown prince's concubine's love? I'm the official.
I have been working in the position of Jingshan Qingli Department for ten years, and I don’t want to be so mediocre anymore, so I came here to join Mr. Wu!"
Teng Shikai was still waiting and watching before. After all, the emperor's trust and favor for Prince Huang were far greater than those of the second and sixth princes. But later he learned that the crown prince's concubine was Chu Yiqing, who had robbed property with his father in the Hua Mansion.
He knew that if he relied on the prince, he would have no hope of promotion in his life, so he immediately switched to join the martial arts sect.[
When Wu Yi heard Teng Shikai talking about Huafu, he suddenly remembered Hua Qi, the son of Huafu, whom Wu Fangting had mentioned to him. He thought about it and suddenly had an idea.
Besides, Li Huang hurried back to the Prince's Mansion. At this moment, Chu Yiqing was already in pain in the room. Xu Zhi stayed by his side, while Yingrun and Maixiang had already heated up the hot water and were ready.
Urine sheets, quilts, etc.
"What's going on?" Li Huang heard the shouting clearly outside the room, and was about to rush inside, but was stopped by Tenglong and Leiting.
"Master, this is the delivery room, men are not allowed in!" Lei Lei said in a low voice.
Just as Li Huang was about to say something, he heard Chu Yiqing's shrill cry coming from the room. Li Huang couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, and he stepped forward regardless of Lei Ting's obstruction.
"Prince, please be patient. This is how this woman gives birth. She steps into the gate of hell with one foot. This is how everyone comes here!" The two nuns sent by the Queen Mother have also arrived.
He stopped Li Huang and said this before going in.
"Dad, dad, what's wrong with mom?" Po ran over from the backyard, followed by Ade and Yayoi.
"It's okay, it's okay, your mother is going to give birth to a younger brother!" Li Huang whispered. Listening to Chu Yiqing's screams, his heart felt like a cat scratching his head, but he still tried his best to comfort A Bao, "Hurry back.
Read a book, wait until your brother is born, and then daddy will call you back!"
"Dad, can't I stay outside my mother's room? I'm scared!" Abao's tears fell unconsciously as he listened to Chu Yiqing's screams.
Li Huang's heart trembled, he hugged A Bao, and whispered: "A Bao, daddy promises that mother and little brother will be safe and sound. Go back to your room to study. You are here, your mother is here."
I’m even more worried about you!”
But Abao hugged Li Huang's neck tightly, unable to move, his little body trembling.
"Ade, take the young master back to the room!" Li Huang ordered coldly, and forcefully took A Bao's little hands off his neck.
Abao burst into tears. My mother had never shouted like this before. She must be in great pain!
A De stepped forward and lifted A Bao up. A Bao angrily slapped A De on the shoulder and called Chu Yiqing, "Mother, mother!"
Abao's behavior made Li Huang feel even more sad.
"Master Abao, my mother is always like this when she gives birth to a baby. My mother was like this when she gave birth to a little brother!" Yayoi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her dark eyes and said, "Young master is making such a fuss, and my wife is in the room.
After hearing this, you will still be worried about the young master!"
Abao suddenly paused, lay on Adei's shoulder obediently, and stopped shouting.
Yayoi stretched out her hand, grabbed Abao's hand, and whispered: "Master, you will have a brother soon. This is a fate given by God!"
Abao listened quietly.
Li Huang watched from the side and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He was very guarded against Yayoi at the beginning. Even when he arrived in the capital, he sent people to keep an eye on him secretly, for fear that he would do something to harm Abao, but now it seems
, this Yayoi can really take on big responsibilities in the future.
After Abao left, Li Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before he finished breathing, he heard Chu Yiqing scream again.
"One clear!" Li Huang could no longer care about anything at this moment, opened the thunder and dragon that were blocking him, kicked open the door like crazy, and entered the delivery room.[
In the room, Chu Yiqing had already opened the bone seam, and her whole body was shaking with pain. When she put it on last time, the child just came out, so she didn't feel much pain, but this time it was different from the last time. Every time
She could feel the labor pains clearly.
"Aunt Chu, hold your breath. Yes, that's it. Okay, it's almost done!" Xu Zhi held Chu Yiqing's hand tightly and kept encouraging Chu Yiqing.
"Ah!" When another contraction hit, Chu Yiqing couldn't help but cry out again, her whole body shaking with pain.
With a sound of "Bang!", the door of the room was kicked open. Xu Zhi and several nuns quickly looked back and saw a figure coming in like the wind and rushing to the bed.
"Sir, why did you come in?" Xu Zhi shouted anxiously. This delivery room is a filthy place, and it will hurt the luck of men, especially Li Huang, a man with great power. Not to mention the delivery room, it is also a woman.
The confinement room is also far away.
The two nuns who came from the palace also screamed in horror.
"Shut up!" Li Huang shouted impatiently. He grabbed Chu Yiqing's hand and shouted eagerly: "Yiqing, Yiqing, are you okay?"
Chu Yiqing was so painful that he was covered in sweat. He lay on the bed and looked at the man's anxious face. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Huang, I'm fine, but it hurts!"
"I know, I know, if I stay with you, you won't feel any pain!" Li Huang held Chu Yiqing's hand tightly.
Xu Zhi looked at Li Huang's deep affection for Chu Yiqing, and his heart moved. He never asked Li Huang to get out, but continued: "Auntie, the baby is about to come out, please use more force!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and held Li Huang's hand tightly. After experiencing severe pain, his body suddenly became lighter.
There was a loud cry of a baby.
"Oh, the Crown Prince is very happy, he has a little grandson!" Before Xu Zhi could step forward, the two men from the palace silently stepped forward and picked up the child.
"Yiqing!" Li Huang ignored the child and just called Chu Yiqing's name.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Chu Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief. It was more difficult for her to give birth than to bomb a gangster's nest. If it weren't for her strong body and being a multiparous woman, this obstacle would be difficult.
, she really didn’t know if she could go there.
"Okay, okay, let's not have any more babies!" Li Huang whispered, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock just now.
Chu Yiqing smiled slowly and said, "Please take a look at our son!"
Li Huang then turned around, looked at his chubby son, and said happily: "He is cute and tight, and his face is as round as a big apple, but he is not like A Bao when he was a child!"
Chu Yiqing also took a look at the child. It was indeed red and white, not as wrinkled as when Abao was just born.
"This child is blessed!" Chu Yiqing whispered. This time she was pregnant, which was not as good as the last time Chu Yiqing was pregnant. She ate and drank according to what she knew, and she was in a happy mood, so
This child will smile with his lips stretched out as soon as he is born.
Li Huang held the child carefully, leaned against Chu Yiqing, and whispered: "This time I finally saw our child being born with my own eyes. What do you think we should name him?"
Blessings can only be regarded as a small fortune. Since he is the grandson of the emperor, his name should naturally be somewhat domineering.
"You make up your mind!" Chu Yiqing said with a smile, "I chose Abao's name, and I'll let you choose it this time!"
Just as Li Huang was thinking about it, he heard Lei Lei reporting from outside: "Master, Madam, someone from the palace is here!"
Li Huang was startled and then pointed out: "This news spread very quickly. The child has only been out for a quarter of an hour. Did the father know about it?"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "You have been away from the Prince's Mansion for so many years. The population of this Prince's Mansion seems simple, but for such a big mansion, there are naturally areas that you cannot control!"
Li Huang nodded, having already understood what Chu Yiqing meant, but at this moment, he had no time to worry about it. The people in the palace were still waiting outside, so he hurried out.
"Prince, the Emperor was very happy when he heard that his grandson was born. He specially copied a picture and sent it as a title for the little prince!" The person who came was none other than Xiao Fuzi. He stepped forward with a smile and opened the imperial edict.
, there is a word "Gong" in it.
Li Huang frowned, "Gong"?
Seeing the expression on Li Huang's face, Xiao Fuzi quickly explained: "The Emperor said that this is respectful, humble, and polite. I congratulate the Crown Prince!"
Li Huang asked someone to take over the words and said softly: "Okay, I will thank my father for this prince!"
Xiao Fuzi naturally responded quickly.
Li Huang also asked someone to give the reward to Xiao Fuzi, and at the same time, he sent the two nuns sent by the Queen Mother back to the palace.
In the Queen Mother's palace, the Queen Mother was naturally overjoyed when she heard that her little grandson was born. However, when she heard that Li Huang entered the delivery room regardless of her own body, her face darkened.
"The Queen Mother, I should not say something that I shouldn't say. Back then, the emperor loved Concubine Qing so much, but he only stayed outside for a day and a night. Where did he enter the delivery room to accompany Concubine Qing in giving birth? Now, I am watching, and the prince is not interested in this.
The love shown to Concubine Chu far exceeds the love the Emperor showed to Concubine Qing back then!" One of the nuns said in a low voice.
The Queen Mother said coldly: "Huang'er loves that Concubine Chu more than once or twice. It's just a matter like this. It's better not to tell the Emperor, so as not to upset the Emperor!"
After being scolded, the nanny didn't dare to say anything anymore, so she quickly responded.
After nightfall, the nun walked to the back door of Ci'an Palace and knocked gently. After a while, a person who looked like a palace maid opened the back door and entered Ci'an Palace.
"Go back and tell Concubine Wu that the Queen Mother's current attitude is unpredictable even to the old slave. Please make preparations early!" the nanny said in a low voice.
The palace maid quickly agreed, and after looking around carefully, she walked away.
Two quarters of an hour later, the palace maid hurriedly entered Concubine Wu's chamber and whispered something in Concubine Wu's ear. Concubine Wu's eyes darkened and she asked coldly: "Then Nanny Su has served the Queen Mother for twenty years.
How dare she say that she can't figure out what the Queen Mother means?"
The maid hurriedly said: "I saw that Aunt Su did not lie. A few days ago, the mother-in-law of Su's mother-in-law had trouble, and it was the empress who stepped in to settle it. Naturally, she did not dare to do her best! Now that Aunt Su said this, I am afraid that the Queen Mother's heart is
She was bribed by His Highness the County Prince! I heard that the Queen Mother likes His Highness the County Prince very much!"
Concubine Wu said bitterly: "Chu Yiqing's belly is really impressive. One or two of them are actually the emperor's grandsons. It's a pity that there are many women in Qian'er's house, but none of them have the belly to live up to their expectations!"
The palace maid hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, isn't there still Master Yan? I heard that Master Yan has made a lot of progress in his studies recently!"
"Don't mention that scoundrel!" Concubine Wu said bitterly.
The palace maid was startled and stood aside in shock.
Only then did Concubine Wu realize that she had made a mistake and said coldly: "Okay, go down and have someone go to Qian'er's house and call for counselor Jin!"
The palace maid hurriedly responded.
Soon, Jin Tengjing entered the palace. This time, he was not as high-spirited as last time. He was the one who brought Chongwen into Prince Qian's palace. Now Princess Qian, Qi Yunluo, was taken advantage of by Chongwen and almost released Li Yu who was imprisoned in the cold palace.
Come out, Li Qian will naturally not let him go!
"See you, Concubine Wu. Good luck to Concubine Wu!" Jin Tengjing bowed and saluted, but did not get up for a long time.
"Okay, get up quickly!" Concubine Wu waved her hands and said, "I know that you feel uncomfortable, and Qian'er punished you because he values you, so don't be angry!"
Jin Tengjing hurriedly said: "It was Jin who was careless for a moment, and allowed Chongwen to take advantage of the loophole, and the princess... In short, it is Jin's fault. The prince fined Jin, and Jin did not dare to have any complaints!"
Concubine Wu nodded and said: "But you are Qian'er's life-saver after all, Qian'er still trusts you the most!"
Jin Tengjing then stood up.
"Do you know about Chu Yiqing's birth of the imperial grandson?" Concubine Wu paused and asked suddenly.
Jin Tengjing nodded and said: "The emperor personally gave me the name Gong, and now it has already spread throughout the capital!"
"Nowadays, the prince's lineage is getting more and more prosperous, but Qian'er's lineage is..." Concubine Wu sighed.
Jin Tengjing paused and said hesitantly: "Empress, there is something that Jin doesn't know whether to say or not!"
Concubine Wu nodded and said, "You can just say it!"
"Actually, when Jin first arrived at Prince Qian's Mansion, he checked Prince Qian's pulse. Before that, Prince Qian took medicine indiscriminately in order to cure his eyes, and his body was severely damaged, especially...Jin felt that
"Look, it will be very difficult for the prince to have an heir!" Jin Tengjing said hesitantly.
Concubine Wu's eyebrows twitched, she leaned forward and asked, "Have you told anyone else about this?"
Jin Tengjing shook his head: "This matter is important, and Jin will never talk nonsense!"
Concubine Wu breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "In that case, I will not hide the truth from Counselor Jin. I already knew three years ago that Qian'er cannot have a son!"
Jin Tengjing was stunned and looked up at Concubine Wu.
"Back then, Qian'er's eyes were hurt by Hua Fei. In order to cure his eyes, I collected many folk remedies. Who knew that these folk remedies actually damaged Qian'er's body? When the imperial doctor diagnosed and cured him, I thought it would heal him. There was a glimmer of hope, but I didn't expect that one hundred concubines in Prince Qian's palace would actually become pregnant in the past three years, and even the only heir..." Concubine Wu's eyes darkened.
Jin Tengjing's heart was moved, but he knew that the more people there were, the more dangerous he would become even though he would become the confidant of Concubine Wu and Lord Qian. He immediately said: "But Jin has never given up on treating Lord Qian. Maybe one day …”
"I can't wait!" Concubine Wu said coldly, "Now that Chu Yiqing has given birth to another son for the prince, even the queen mother is becoming more and more partial. I am worried that if there is no action, Qian'er will never be able to turn over!"
Jin Tengjing quickly asked: "What does the empress mean..."
"Seven live and eight don't live. This Li Gong was born in eight months, and he may not be able to grow up even after he is born!" Concubine Wu said with a cold smile.
"Your Majesty means..." Jin Tengjing frowned and whispered, "But the Prince's Mansion is tightly guarded, and Chu Yiqing is not a good person. If we want to take action..."
"There will always be a way!" Concubine Wu sneered.
At night, Blessing suddenly cried loudly. The nanny Xu who had been raising him in the house hurried forward, picked up Blessing, put it on her chest, and stuffed her nipple into Blessing's little mouth, but I don’t eat blessings at all.
"What's wrong?" Chu Yiqing woke up from his deep sleep and motioned to Mrs. Xu to bring the child over.
"I don't know what happened, but I suddenly started crying and refused to take milk!" Mrs. Xu said anxiously, and quickly brought the child to Chu Yiqing.
Chu Yiqing unbuttoned the placket on his chest, but Blessing immediately picked it up with his two small hands and sucked it up desperately.
"It turns out that I want to recognize my 'breast'!" Mrs. Xu said with some uneasiness.
"It's okay, it will get better as time goes by!" Chu Yiqing said softly, touching the thick hair on Little Blessing's head, and couldn't help but curl up his lips and smile.
This boy is really lucky, but Abao has never had a bite of her "milk"!
"Mother, please come!" When Mrs. Xu saw that Little Blessing had stopped crying, she stepped forward to take it. Who knew that as soon as she took Little Blessing and put it on her chest, Little Blessing burst into tears.
"I'll do it!" Chu Yiqing smiled and accepted the blessing, which immediately stopped crying.
Mrs. Xu said worriedly: "What can we do? The young master doesn't want to eat the slave's milk!"
Chu Yiqing was also a little surprised. She just gave her colostrum to Blessing. Could she accept "milk" at such a young age?
