Mao Gui understood what she meant and sighed without saying anything. After a while, Wei Jingxuan remembered something and said with an ugly face: "Where is Xiuyan? Where is she? Has she been sent out of the palace?"
"Master, don't worry, the second lady is sleeping in the house." With that, Mao Gui recounted what happened last night in detail, and then said: "Fortunately, the second lady was smart and took a risk. Looking at the emperor, he seemed to believe it.
Second Young Lady, so I called Second Young Lady to the Yangxin Hall to pray for blessings."
"It's a pity that it's just a blessing." After saying this, Wei Jingxuan said with some annoyance: "What happened this time is all her fault for not listening to me and bringing back the cat of unknown origin."
"Second Miss didn't know that things would turn out like this. What happened this time was probably just an accident." Before Mao Gui finished speaking, Wei Jingxuan sneered: "Do you think this is an accident?"
Mao Gui's cheek twitched slightly and he whispered: "Is there someone intentionally causing harm?"
"First, Lin Changshou and the others came to deliver umbrellas by chance, and then Xiuyan picked up a cat. Then, the cat suddenly attacked you, causing me to be frightened and give birth prematurely. Although I can't guess the reasons.
, but I’m sure it’s definitely not as simple as a coincidence.” After speaking, she was already a little out of breath. After all, she had just given birth and even though she had a good sleep, it was impossible for her to regain her strength so quickly.
Mao Gui said softly: "Master, we will think about these things later. The most important thing now is to recover. I will help you to rest for a while."
Wei Jingxuan nodded, letting him wait for her to rest, and soon fell asleep again. When she woke up, it was already late, and many people in the palace came to congratulate her on giving birth to the little princess. Suddenly, Yongshou Palace
It was very lively, but it was impossible to tell whether they were laughing or scolding behind these beautiful faces.
What Wei Jingxuan was most worried about was Wei Xiuyan's case. She had no choice but to wait for the decree from the Yangxin Palace to come, so she could only wait uneasily.
In addition to the concubines in the palace who came to congratulate in person, Kunning Palace and Changchun Palace also sent congratulatory gifts. It was not until dusk that the excitement gradually dissipated. The nurse brought the baby over, and Wei Jingxuan just glanced at it and gave up.
, but Wei Xiuyan held her in her arms and teased her for a while. The fact that the baby was a girl really made her disappointed. She still feels this way, and she doesn't even want to look at the newly born child.
After Wei Xiuyan handed the child back to the wet nurse, she glanced at the closed palace door and said worriedly: "Sister, when do you think there will be news from the Yangxin Palace?"
"From before to now, you have asked me no less than three times. If the emperor does not send someone to convey the decree, it is useless for us to be anxious. We should just wait." With this, Wei Jingxuan said to the wet nurse standing aside:
"The little princess was born prematurely and is weak. You must take good care of her. If anything goes wrong, I am the only one to ask questions."
"My slave, you obey." The wet nurse was about to go down when the palace servant's shrill voice came to her ears, "The emperor has arrived! The fourth elder brother has arrived, the sixth elder brother has arrived, and the twelfth elder brother has arrived!"
Hearing this, Mao Gui and Qiaoyu hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, then clapped their sleeves and knelt down to salute Hongli, who was striding forward, "I would like to say hello to the emperor, and to the fourth elder brother, the sixth elder brother, and the twelfth elder brother!"
"Your Majesty." Seeing Hongli enter, Wei Jingxuan held Wei Xiuyan's hand and was about to get down to salute. Hongli stepped forward, held her down and said, "You just gave birth yesterday, and your body is the weakest. You need to rest."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Jingxuan responded gratefully, and immediately said: "Mao Gui and the others have told me what happened last night. I feel really guilty for making the Emperor worry about me."
After Hongli sat down in the chair that Mao Gui had brought, he said warmly: "You have worked so hard to give birth to a princess for me, why should you feel guilty? No matter what, I hope you and your daughter are safe."
While they were talking, Yong Xun and the others were already surrounding the wet nurse, teasing the baby. Yong Xun shook the little hand, raised his head and said with a smile: "Huang Ama, I really got it right. Your Majesty."
The concubine gave birth to the Nine Emperors Sister."
Wei Jingxuan was already unhappy because she was giving birth to a girl, and it was even more harsh to hear his words now. However, she always kept her emotions in check, and said to Hongli with an apologetic face: "I am useless, I have been
I have given birth to little princesses for several times, and I am really sorry to the Emperor for not being able to give birth to a dragon son for the Emperor."
Hongli patted her hand and said, "Whether it's the prince or the princess, I like them all."
Yongxun smiled and said with narrowed eyes: "Yes, that day in the Yangxin Palace, didn't Huang Ama just say that he likes the emperor's daughter even more? If the empress can give birth to the emperor's tenth daughter, the emperor's eleventh daughter, then
That’s even better.”
Wei Jingxuan smiled weakly, wishing to drive Yong Cang out immediately. He was deliberately trying to make her troublesome. Only the prince was qualified to inherit the throne. No matter how good the princess was, she would only get married in the end and had no chance of becoming the throne. The concubines in the palace,
Who wouldn't expect to have a baby brother when she was pregnant with Liujia, not to mention that she had already given birth to two daughters in a row.
Yongxun took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, placed it on the little princess, and said: "This jade pendant was blessed by a senior monk and can protect people's safety. It is most appropriate to give it to the Nine Emperor Sisters." After him, Yongrong and Yongrong
Cang also took out the gifts they had brought and gave them to the Nine Emperor Girls whom they met for the first time.
"My brothers are so considerate, and I can't thank you enough. With the love of you brothers, she will grow up safely." After hearing this, Hongli said to the wet nurse: "From last night to now, the little princess has been able to grow up safely."
fine?"
Since Hongli came in, he had never looked at Wei Xiuyan directly. The latter was secretly anxious. Hearing these words, he quickly said: "Let your Majesty know that Dr. Wang has seen the little princess before and said that she is thinner and thinner."
"Otherwise, there is nothing serious, and there are folk girls praying for the little princess, so she will grow up safely without any illness or pain."
Hongli glanced at her and said calmly: "That's good."
Wei Jingxuan took advantage of this opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, although I have already given birth to a little princess, Xiuyan has only been in the palace for three days. Now let her leave the palace. I am really reluctant to let her go. Can you... let her have more time?"
How many days will I stay with my concubine?"
Hongli nodded and said, "I have thought about this as well. It just so happens that the prayers at the Yangxin Palace have not been completed yet, so I would like to allow Xiuyan to stay in the palace for eight more days, so as to alleviate your pain of missing your loved ones."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" As he spoke, the baby held in Yong Rong's arms suddenly began to cry. Wei Jingxuan said with concern: "Why are you crying? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Xiuyan, go and hold the little princess."
Come."
Wei Xiuyan responded, came to Yong Rong, and said: "Brother Six, let the daughter of the people come and hold the little princess."
