After spending another half day in Yong'en Palace, watching the dusk fall in the west, Lin Cairen's birth canal has not been fully opened. Wen Xiaotu thought to himself, okay, I'm afraid I won't be able to give birth today - even if the child is born today
Even if he could land, Wen Xiaotu would not stay and work the night shift.
Rubbing the center of his eyebrows, Wen Xiaotu stood up and said seriously: "It's getting late. Lin Cairen is here to be taken care of by the imperial doctor and the midwife. You should go back and rest. It won't be too late to come back tomorrow."
Xin Ruozhi breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, as a concubine gave birth, she didn't have to stay awake and spend time in front of her. Xin Ruozhi was really afraid that the little empress would continue to come after dinner. After all, she was the associate concubine, and the empress was already here.
How can she be lazy? Only when the queen rests can she rest!
But Concubine De hurriedly smiled and said: "I am really worried, I am willing to stay and take care of you."
Wen Xiaotu raised his eyebrows: Are you too diligent?
Xin Ruozhi: Concubine De's coveting of the emperor's heir is really undisguised!
Being looked at directly by the empress and the concubine Xian, Concubine De couldn't help but feel guilty, "Concubine, I also have good intentions. Could it be that the empress can't trust me?"
Wen Xiaotu said calmly: "Isn't Concubine De still responsible for the marriage of Princess Jiashan? Lin Cai and the emperor's heir can't escape, so why are you staring so closely at them?"
Concubine De smiled coquettishly, "Concubine..." Concubine De was speechless for a moment.
Wen Xiaotu waved his hand: "Okay, let's all go back and rest!"
After walking out of Yong'en Palace, Wen Xiaotu was about to board the Feng Yu when he saw a young eunuch running over in a panic, "Queen, my Baolin has just activated!"
Cui Baolin is also giving birth?
Wen Xiaotu was stunned, how could they all get together, "I remember, Cui Baolin's due date is more than half a month away! Why did it suddenly start?"
The little eunuch hesitated and said: "Ms. Baolin... I just accidentally had a fetal movement."
Wen Xiaotu frowned, showing displeasure: "How do you servants serve you? With so many people, how can you even cause her to have fetal contractions?!"
The little eunuch was so frightened that he kowtowed quickly: "It's not that the slaves are not careful, it's the lady who went to the court room... she used too much force..." The little eunuch's voice quickly dropped, and his face became a little embarrassed.
Wen Xiaotu: ...It’s just that the pooping force is too strong, so the baby is going to come out too?
This... I really can't blame the palace maids and eunuchs below.
Wen Xiaotu coughed and glanced at the Xiande Second Concubine beside him, and as expected, he also found an indescribably complicated expression on the second concubine's face.
She quickly told Xiao Yinzi: "Hurry up and urge the imperial doctor and midwife to come over!" - Lin Cai and Cui Baolin each have two midwives, so even if they give birth at the same time, they are not afraid of shortage of manpower.
At this moment, Wen Xiaotu had no choice but to show off to Yanxiu Palace first.
Cui Baolin screamed fiercely in the west side hall. Jiang Meiren, who lived in the east side hall, was directing the palace attendants in Yanxiu Palace. When she saw the queen and the second concubine arriving, she hurriedly came up to greet her, "You have caused trouble for the queen, Cui Baolin...
She didn’t mean it…”
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly coughed and said, "I'll spare you the trouble." - Don't mention this, it's too tasteful.
Wen Xiaotu looked at Yanxiu Palace and it was in good order, so he didn't delay for too long. He told Mei Jiang to be more attentive and went back to Fengyi Palace directly.
She is already hungry!
When he returned to his palace, the sky had completely darkened. Fengyi Palace was brightly lit like daylight, but he saw the emperor sitting on the couch in Dongnuan Pavilion. Under the candlelight, the emperor's face looked a little gloomy.
Emperor Mingzhao helped Atu up, who was bowing and bowing, and said, "Why do you have to go there in person?" - You came back so late.
Wen Xiaotu could only say: "Didn't Cui Baolin suddenly start the attack? Otherwise, my former concubine would be back after dark."
Of course, someone had reported these things long ago. The emperor sighed and said, "Let's eat first." After working all day, Atu must be hungry.
As a queen, she had to maintain table manners, but Wen Xiaotu still ate a little faster. The emperor Mingzhao saw this and felt distressed and sad at the same time, and his mood was indescribably complicated.
In the evening, the emperor didn't bother her to get into bed, and the two of them slept under quilts all night.
It was slightly bright the next day, and Wen Xiaotu got up. She didn't sleep well last night because she was thinking about Lin Cai and Cui Baolin.
But seeing that the emperor was already being served by eunuchs and put on regular clothes, Ming Zhao frowned: "It's still early, let's sleep a little longer."
Wen Xiaotu shook his head hurriedly: "How can I still be in the mood to sleep in?"
He hurriedly called people in to help him change clothes and wash up, while casually asking: "Is Lin Cai and Cui Baolin having a baby?"
Aunt Qiu Sang helped her put on a thick gold-woven phoenix gown, and said with a smile: "Go back to me, Lin Cairen hasn't had any results yet, but Cui Baolin gave birth late last night."
Wen Xiaotu was stunned. Cui was the one who started this late.
"Are you giving birth to a prince or a princess? Is Cui Baolin okay?" she asked hurriedly.
Qiu Sang's smile became even brighter: "Mother and daughter are safe, please rest assured."
Mother and daughter? Cui Baolin gave birth to a daughter? She is the fourth princess?
He nodded and said, "Let the imperial physician nurse her back to health. The expenses will be the same as before. There is no need to rush back." A few months ago, Wen Xiaotu had ordered that Lin Cai and Cui be paid.
Baolin proposed a level of case fee respectively.
After he was properly dressed and had breakfast with the emperor, Wen Xiaotu asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to Yong'en Palace to have a look? I'm afraid Lin Cairen is about to give birth."
Ming Zhao looked away and said, "I still have government affairs to be busy with."
Wen Xiaotu slandered: It’s just an excuse.
"Then I will send you to your Majesty." - Get out of here!
Ming Zhao choked and his face turned purple.
After driving away the emperor, Wen Xiaotu quickly rushed to Lin Cairen's Yong'en Palace.
It was a coincidence that although she came not too early - Concubine De and Concubine Xian were already here, she came at the perfect time. She had just sat down when the sound of a baby crying came from the west side hall.
"To report to the Queen, Madam Lin has given birth to a little prince." The midwife came to report, with a cautious look on her face.
Wen Xiaotu thought to himself that he is a son, and Lin Cairen is somewhat lucky. In the future, when the child opens a palace and becomes a king, and after the dog emperor dies, he can go to his son's house to retire.
She nodded: "Okay, you have done your best, and each of you will be rewarded with three months' salary."
The midwife who delivered the baby was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.
Wen Xiaotu then ordered: "Xiao Yinzi, go to Qian'an Palace to report the good news to the emperor. I will go to the Queen Mother to report the good news myself."
Concubine De immediately said: "I, my concubine, will go with you."
Wen Xiaotu's black line is like a dog-skin plaster that cannot be removed even if it is removed.
Xin Ruozhi curled her lips, Concubine De was going to the Queen Mother to ask for credit!
Wen Xiaotu had no choice but to say to the second concubine Xiande: "Then let's go to the Yinian Palace together."
