The prince chatted with Shen Qiuyu for a few words, and then said with a smile: "By the way, you don't know yet! My cousin's wife, Ye, is also pregnant. I heard that she was found to be pregnant on the same day as you. My cousin has a good tongue. It’s really tight and has never been mentioned in front of me. I only found out about it when others talked about it.”
Shen Qiuyu smiled slightly, feeling sour and jealous at the same time.
Ye Qinglan is actually pregnant! She is pregnant with Gu Xinian's blood! How could Gu Xinian let this woman be pregnant with his child...
The prince didn't notice Shen Qiuyu's sudden strangeness, and smiled to himself: "Looking at it, you and Mrs. Ye should have given birth together. If you give birth to a son and Mr. Ye gives birth to a daughter, we will simply decide on the baby." relative… …"
"No!" Shen Qiuyu opened his mouth subconsciously. After seeing the prince's surprised eyes, he realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly smiled to make up for it: "It's hard to say whether it's a boy or a girl. Maybe I'm giving birth to a daughter. The child Ye gave birth to is a son! It is also possible that all the children are boys or girls. It is too early to decide on the baby, and it will not be too late to wait until the children are born."[
The fact is that she is not willing to let her "son" marry the daughter of Ye Qinglan! After the prince ascends the throne, her son will be the prince of the Western Song Dynasty and the most noble person in the world. Ye Qinglan's How could my daughter be worthy of being the future crown princess?
...Concubine Shen, you really think too much!
The prince just said it casually, and when he saw Shen Qiuyu's reluctance, he felt happy in his heart. After all, Shen Qiuyu and Gu Xinian had a relationship before. He wished they would turn against each other. If they became in-laws, they would inevitably have contact in the future. opportunity. If it brings back memories of old feelings or something like that, it will make people feel unhappy.
...His Royal Highness, you are actually thinking too much!
After the prince left, Shen Qiuyu's smiling face suddenly disappeared.
She sat there stiffly with a cold face, not moving for a long time. Ye Qinglan's bright smile and Gu Xinian's gentle smile kept flashing through her mind. Thick jealousy surged in her heart. She almost couldn't control herself
The maids are all smart people with raised eyebrows and wide eyes. When they see this posture, almost no one dares to come forward. Even though Concubine Shen is usually so elegant, calm and gentle in front of others, she is not easy to take care of in private. .The methods used to punish the servants are so cruel and spicy that it makes people shudder when thinking about it. So whenever Concubine Shen is in a bad mood, the maids would like to hide away...
After a long time, Shen Qiuyu calmed down again. If he attacked the child in Ye Qinglan's belly at this time, he would probably anger Gu Xinian, and it would be bad if he made the prince unhappy again. The most important thing now is "Give birth" to the child safely.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiuyu said calmly: "Go and ask Mother Qiu to come over."
When Shen Qiuyu stayed at Dingguo Palace, she only had a ten-year-old maid, Yun'er, and Mother Qiu. Over the years, the number of people serving her has increased and decreased, and only in this courtyard There are more than a dozen maids, and there are no fewer than five or six stewards. But Yun'er has always been the most trusted maid around her. Mother Qiu is her most trusted and respected mother in charge. All secret matters are basically covered. I leave it to Mother Qiu to do it.
Mother Qiu is almost fifty years old this year. Her hair is already a little gray, but she manages it neatly and neatly. Her small eyes are shining brightly, and she greets Shen Qiuyu respectfully: "I have seen Concubine Shen..."
"Okay, there's no need to be so polite." In front of Qiu's mother who watched her grow up, Shen Qiuyu lost a bit of her condescension and arrogance. After rejecting all the maids, she lowered her voice and asked, "Qiu Mom, how is Yoona now?"
Although there were no outsiders in the room, when this topic was brought up, Mother Qiu also naturally lowered her voice: "Yooner has been suffering from severe morning sickness these days and can hardly eat anything. I just went to see her outside the house yesterday. I also quietly brought a lot of supplements over there."
Shen Qiuyu hummed. She had never been pregnant and didn't know much about women's reactions during pregnancy, so she didn't care about the matter. She asked the most important question again: "When you went out, you didn't arouse anyone's suspicion. Bar! "
Mother Qiu responded affirmatively: "No, I have been out of the house three times in the past two months, and each time I specially chose the time for dinner. I went out quietly through the back door, and it was almost late at night when I came back. So I’m sure no one noticed.”
Shen Qiuyu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine if no one pays attention. Especially be careful of the Crown Princess. Don't let her notice any clues." Of course, having a child through borrowed money is not a glorious thing. If someone notices it, not only will the success be in vain. , will also completely anger the prince. Her ambition to be the queen will be completely in vain. Therefore, this matter must be done very secretly. Not only must it be hidden from the prince, but also from the shrewd Mo family.
Shen Qiuyu originally hoped that a child would pop out of her belly, but it has been almost eight years since she married into the Prince's Mansion. The children of other concubines were born one after another, but there was no news about her belly. Time After a long time, she realized something in her heart. She was probably the kind of woman who was born unable to have children. But she really needed a son, so she thought about it day and night, and finally came up with the idea of having a child through surrogacy. As for the candidate, of course she had to He turned to the maid whom he trusted most, Yuner.
Yoon'er has been open to serving the prince two years ago, but she has always been drinking the avoidance soup. Shen Qiuyu secretly changed the soup for her years ago, and specially selected days when Yoon'er was prone to pregnancy to serve the prince. Go to bed. Yoona's belly is really good, and there will be some movement within a few months.
Shen Qiuyu was overjoyed, secretly bribed Doctor Wang, and then put on such a good show. As for Yoona, she was quietly sent out of the house by Qiu's mother on the night she found out she was pregnant, and was kept in a hospital under the pretext of being seriously ill. "Recuperate" in a very secluded courtyard. In order not to arouse suspicion, even the maid who serves Yoona's food and daily life was specially bought from Yabozi. The maid had no idea who she was serving.[
As for Shen Qiuyu herself, she stayed in the yard every day and pretended to be pregnant. In order to make her body look like she was pregnant, she secretly wrapped a circle of cotton around her abdomen from the third month of her pregnancy. .When the "month" gets older in the future, I will have to sew a small pillow or something and stuff it into my clothes...
No matter how carefully Shen Qiuyu planned, when things came to an end, she deeply felt the thorniness and danger of the matter. Now there are only four people who know the inside story, besides herself, there are Yoona and Qiu's mother. , plus Dr. Wang. When "nurturing the fetus", he even had to hide it from all the maids and women in the yard. This was really not an easy task.
Apart from anything else, just the little things like getting dressed and undressed every day, she used to be taken care of by the maids, but now, she has to dress and undress herself, and she has to try her best to do it as naturally as possible, without arousing anyone's suspicion. Now she still has to do it. Okay, after all, it’s just a few circles of cotton. It’ll be a real headache when you stuff the pillow in the future…
I won’t go into that. The real difficulty is during childbirth. You need to find a few reliable midwives, and you must not reveal the slightest hint of it. You also have to calculate the right time to start, and wait for Yoona to take the baby into the house as soon as she gives birth. Come on. All this must be hidden from the Crown Prince and Mr. Mo...
There are so many complicated things that need to be prepared in advance. Shen Qiuyu seems to be quietly raising her baby, but in fact, she has never stopped planning in her mind.
At this time, she also deeply felt that there were not enough manpower around her. There were many maids and women in the yard, and most of them were loyal to her. But no one knew whether there were informants secretly bribed by the Mo family. , the only people she can truly trust are Yoona and Mama Qiu who have been following her...
Shen Qiuyu's eyes flickered and he fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Shen Qiuyu was silent, Mother Qiu did not dare to speak, so as not to disturb her thoughts. After a long time, Shen Qiuyu whispered: "Mother Qiu, you will find some reliable midwives tomorrow. Stay here. Four of them are in my yard, and I will secretly pick two experienced ones to live with Yun'er. Remember to give them more money to keep their mouths shut."
Mother Qiu nodded in agreement, and then whispered: "After Yoon'er is born, will we deal with the two midwives..." No matter how much money you have, you may not be able to seal your mouth. It's better to keep it clean. Only by taking action can you solve the problem once and for all.
Sure enough, there is a slave just like a master! When Mother Qiu mentioned the two lives, she was just as relaxed as mentioning the nice weather today.
A cold and stern light flashed in Shen Qiuyu's eyes: "Don't think about this urgently for now, wait until the child is born. If it is a baby girl, there is no need to go through so many twists and turns. If it is a baby boy, it will be done more neatly. .”
Mother Qiu responded, thought for a while and then said: "That Doctor Wang is really too greedy. He had secretly given him five thousand taels of silver notes before, but when he came to ask for Ping Anmai a few days ago, he unexpectedly said Revealing the intention of asking for money..."
"I'll give him whatever he wants." Shen Qiuyu ordered without changing his expression: "The more he takes, the more he will try his best to cover me up. This money must not be saved."
"But if this continues, I don't know how much money it will cost until the child is born safely." Qiu's mother knew Shen Qiuyu's private house well: "Although you have saved a lot of private house over the years, you bought Xiao Tao last time. It cost a lot of money. This time it will cost more than half, so from now on..."
"From now on, when I have a son, who else will be my opponent in the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion? A little money is nothing." Shen Qiuyu took over the words calmly: "In the future, when His Highness ascends the throne and becomes emperor, that I don't have the energy to take care of the Sixth Palace at all. Who else could I take the position of Queen?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote and vote monthly. Your support is my biggest motivation.
