The Queen was personally in charge, which made Po Wen and the imperial doctor a little panicked. She was even more angry when she saw that Yuan Qingling had not left several times after being ordered to ask her to leave.
Around evening time, King Qi ordered people to secretly notify several princesses and asked them to come and take charge. Princess Wenjing, in particular, always knew the queen's intentions and could persuade the queen. Otherwise, she would keep pointing out things in the yard, which was very annoying.
After darkening, Yuan Yongyi's contractions began to become more frequent. Yuan Qingling asked someone to make a meal for her and told her to eat as much as she could to maintain her strength.
Yuan Yongyi is a martial arts practitioner. She struggled for several months in the early stages of pregnancy, but she slowly recovered in the later stages. Therefore, the pain of contractions was not unbearable for her.
At around 11:00 in the evening, when she was about to give birth, the Queen was in the cubicle outside the room, giving instructions in a deep voice. King Qi was waiting aside and was worried and anxious. When he heard her shouting and shouting, he wanted to cover her big mouth.
Yuan Yongyi began to hold back from screaming because Yuan Qingling asked her to hold back the strength to scream. However, when waves of contractions came and the baby was about to come out, she still couldn't help but scream in pain.
.
King Qi was frightened and said, "Oh God, God, I must bless you safely."
The queen glanced at him, "All women..."
"Shut up!" King Qi was in a panic, and when he saw that she was about to speak again, he couldn't help but scolded her with raised eyebrows.
The queen was startled, "What did you say?"
Princess Wenjing was busy and came over and said: "Mother, he is in a hurry. He is always like this when he becomes a father for the first time. Remember when you gave birth to me, didn't my father also seem to be in a hurry outside?
?You also told me."
"No, it's like this when you become a father for the first time!" The princesses came over and started talking, which made the queen speechless.
In the delivery room, everything went smoothly. After all, she was a martial arts student. Although she suffered some pain, the baby slipped out after a few efforts. Po Wen caught the baby, and the baby let out its first cry in the world.
"Give birth, give birth!" King Qi was so happy that he almost jumped up and shouted inside, "Fifth sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, are you okay?"
"It's okay, she's fine!" Yuan Qingling responded with a smile, picked up a towel to wipe the sweat on Yuan Yongyi's forehead, and praised: "You are amazing, you have become a mother."
Yuan Yongyi cried with joy and asked Po Wen to bring the child over and give her a look.
Before she could hold him, the queen's voice rang out, "Is it the prince?"
Mrs. Wen first let Yuan Yongyi take a look at the child, and then said to the outside: "Congratulations to the prince on the birth of the pearl!"
"Okay, okay!" King Qi was so happy that he almost cried. He wanted to open the door and go in, but was immediately stopped by Princess Wenjing. "Don't rush in and wait for a while."
The queen's face suddenly darkened, "Pearl?"
She stood up suddenly and said coldly: "You are useless after all. Don't worry, my dear, the queen will arrange a concubine for you when she gets back."
This was obviously meant to be heard by Yuan Yongyi, so it was very loud. She was very disappointed. If this child was a son, it would be the emperor's direct grandson. His status was extremely noble, but he unexpectedly gave birth to a daughter. She even felt that she had tried every means to get out.
It's all a mistake and a waste of time.
"Queen Mother!" King Qi was furious when he heard this, "How can you say such a thing? It's too much."
"Too much?" The queen's heart was already feeling like it was falling into an ice cellar. When she heard King Qi yelling at her in front of so many princesses, it only added fuel to the fire. She slapped King Qi on the face, "How dare you?
Dare you say this about your mother? Who wouldn’t give birth to a daughter? What’s the use of having a daughter? Aren’t you still a loser? If she can give birth to a son for you, at least she will be a legitimate grandson of the royal family. If she gives birth to a daughter,
Does the royal family need a daughter?"
"I'm missing!" King Qi choked with anger, turned around and pushed the door open.
When Yuan Yongyi heard these words inside, she was shaking with anger and tears were rolling in her eyes. She was a person who could endure injustice. It didn't matter if she was scolded. She couldn't bear to let her child be wronged. Her daughter had just been brought into the world and she was...
Her own grandmother was so disgusted that she felt it in her heart. When King Qi came in, she couldn't help crying.
King Qi hugged her, his eyes burning, "I'm sorry, don't care what she says, I won't marry any concubines, I won't take concubines, whether it's my daughter or my son, I love them all the same."
"Lao Qi, we can accept this grievance, but the child cannot!" Yuan Yongyi took a deep breath, then picked up the child beside the bed and looked at him, "Prepare the carriage and take me back to Yuan's house."
"What?" King Qi was shocked, "How can you leave now?"
Yuan Yongyi said: "I have made up my mind. If you don't send me away, I will leave with my child in my arms. If I don't leave today, things like today will continue to happen. I can't let my child suffer the slightest injustice from her. You
He is her son. If I marry you, there is nothing I can do if she is angry with her, but I gave birth to my daughter, and no one can bully her."
Yuan Qingling understood the meaning behind her words. If she went back to her parents' home to give birth today, it would be a big deal. Can the Yuan family just let it go? Why don't they get a complaint from Yu Qian and Chu Shoufu?
Although doing this will cause the queen a bit of trouble, to put it bluntly, she has become more and more like a mad dog recently and needs to be locked up and reflected on.
This may also be an opportunity for her, otherwise she will offend her father for some reason and end up in the cold palace or worse.
Therefore, Yuan Qingling was the first to stand up and support, "Okay, go back. Tomorrow is Ah Si's wedding, and you can also watch Ah Si get married."
King Qi was still a little confused, "Fifth sister-in-law, why do you say that?"
"Otherwise, it's not over. Lao Qi, listen to me. She's fine. Prepare your carriage, take measures to keep warm, and lie down for confinement all the way into the house." Yuan Qing said.
King Qi also understood in his heart. Looking at Yuan Yongyi's tearful eyes, and then looking at his newborn daughter who was like a dough ball, the sense of responsibility as a husband and father arose spontaneously, and he nodded resolutely, "Okay!"
The queen had already gone back to the palace, and did not know that Yuan Yongyi had returned to her parents' home. When she left, she evacuated all the people who had stayed here.
Princess Wenjing followed her all the way and persuaded her on the carriage: "Mother, what you did today has chilled the hearts of Lao Qi and his wife, and also chilled the hearts of your granddaughter. Do you understand?"
"Everyone is heartbroken, isn't this palace heartbroken?" The queen cried out, full of pain and sorrow, "I have been looking forward to it for a long time, hoping that she can give birth to a son, so that it can break the inability of other royal princes except the prince to give birth to a son.
If you cast out the curse of your son, he is your direct grandson, and your father will change his view of me because of this, and he will no longer be so contemptuous."
"Why don't you understand? My father is not looking down on you, but he is disappointed with what you have done. There are so many people in Prince Qi's palace today, and you are putting on such a posture, you are simply becoming the evil mother-in-law among the people.
A model, even my father will be angry."
The queen was confused and disappointed, but she still didn't take it seriously after hearing this. "Your father will not be happy either. I know that he is also looking forward to having a grandson. Well, it's good to see Yuan Qing Ling today."
Her belly is as round as a basket, so she must be a daughter. If she gives birth to a son, won’t she go to heaven?”
