Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight of the two Hans standing side by side
Liu Xiu was stopped by Liu Huang and walked back and forth anxiously outside the hall.
Liu Huangze has been murmuring, saying that the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law have come out, hoping that the two elders will be alive in heaven, bless their daughter-in-law, and give birth to the Liu family's heirs safely.
In the West Palace, Xu Xiling came uninvited and sat with Yin Lihua in the main hall, waiting for news.
Everyone in the harem was very concerned about the child in Guo Shengtong's belly. If it was a boy, Guo Shengtong's status would be greatly improved. If it was a girl, it would be insignificant.
Seeing the maid Xueying coming back from outside, Yin Lihua asked: "Xueying, is Guo Gui alive?"
Xueying shook her head and said: "Not yet! It's been more than half an hour, and the baby hasn't been born yet!" After a pause, she whispered in a low voice: "Could it be..." She glanced at Xu Xiling, but there was no words in the following words.
Keep talking.
Yin Lihua frowned and suddenly remembered something. She turned around and walked to the inner room. She found a brocade box from the cabinet and opened it. There was a red pill inside. wavv
She looked at it, handed it to Xueying, and said, "Xueying, send it to Guo Guiren immediately!"
When Xueying saw this brocade box, she was startled at first, and with an anxious look on her face, she said, "This is a life-saving elixir given to Madam by Mr. Yan!"
Yin Lihua smiled calmly and said, "I don't need it anyway, so I'll give it to Guo Guiren!"
"lady……"
"Send it away!" Yin Lihua didn't like Guo Shengtong that much, and even felt a little repelled and disgusted, but she didn't want to see Guo Shengtong have an accident due to childbirth.
Xueying was Yin Lihua's personal maid, so she naturally knew her master's temperament. She couldn't resist Yin Lihua, so she could only take the brocade box, turned around and walked out gloomily.
"Stop!" Xu Xiling suddenly said, calling Xueying, and then she stood up, snatched the brocade box from Xueying's hand, and then stuffed it back into Yin Lihua's hand, saying "Are you crazy?"
He looked at Yin Lihua with his eyes, and said in a cold tone: "I have to remind Madam that it is best to put away Madam's sympathy now!"
Yin Lihua looked at Xu Xiling in surprise and confusion. Even before, she could clearly feel Xu Xiling's rejection of her, but on the surface, Xu Xiling was still polite to her.
After she came to Luoyang, Xu Xiling's vague feeling of rejection towards her disappeared. The relationship between the two became much closer. She had never seen Xu Xiling treat her with such an attitude.
Seeing the surprise and confusion on Yin Lihua's face, Xu Xiling sighed secretly, pointed to the brocade box in Yin Lihua's hand, and asked: "Madam, send this elixir to Guo Guiren. If Guo Guiren is fine, that's all."
, once Guo Guiren has an accident, does Madam think she can still explain it clearly? "
It's up to you how naive you are outside the palace. The worst thing you can do is be laughed at. But if you are naive inside the palace, you may not even know how you died.
When Xueying heard this, she immediately reacted. She shivered and said urgently: "Madam, Xu Yeting's order is reasonable. Madam must not send this elixir to Ah Ge now!"
Yin Lihua looked at Xu Xiling, then at Xueying, slowly put down the brocade box in her hand, and murmured: "Mr. Yan said that this is a life-saving elixir."
Xu Xiling laughed angrily. She said meaningfully: "The efficacy of this elixir is not important. The key is that this small elixir is enough to make people realize it. In the palace, no matter who it is,
, everyone should be extremely cautious and walk on thin ice. If you cannot do this, you will be harming others and yourself by entering the palace."
Yin Lihua looked at Xu Xiling and slowly sat back on the cave. She was silent for a long time. Seeing this, Xueying felt sad and was about to go up to comfort her. Xu Xiling held her back, shook her head and said, "What?
There is no need to persuade. You have to think clearly about this kind of thing. No matter how much others say, it is useless." As she spoke, she looked at Yin Lihua again and said quietly: "Now that Madam has no heirs, you can still do whatever you want.
, if something goes wrong, the most you can do is to pay for yourself, but when Madam also has an heir, by then, Madam will not be the only one who has to pay for it?!"
Her words shook Yin Lihua's body, and she sat there blankly, unable to recover for a long time.
Ah Ge.
Liu Xiu had been waiting outside the hall for an hour, but only Guo Shengtong's intermittent screams could be heard in the hall. At this time, Liu Xiu was already anxious, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Now he really wanted to rush in and see what was going on inside.
Liu Huang also kept wiping her sweat. She did not forget to comfort Liu Xiu and said: "Don't worry, Emperor. Grandmother, I will definitely protect the descendants of our Liu family!"
How can Liu Xiu still believe this now? If Aweng’s mother really had a spirit in heaven, she would have protected her eldest brother, second brother and second sister!
He originally wanted to ask Liu Huang whether it was so difficult and painful for his eldest sister to give birth, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered that his eldest sister didn't have a child yet!
Just when he was upset, Liu Huang suddenly remembered something and asked: "Axiu, have you built a shrine for Aweng and Amu?"
Liu Xiu frowned and said, "Not yet!"
Liu Huang clapped his hands and said, "Aweng and my mother must be angry with you!"
Liu Xiu held her forehead, sister, are you still telling me this now? Liu Huang was about to ask Liu Xiu why he didn't build a shrine for his parents. At this time, he heard Wen Po's exclamation suddenly coming from the main hall: "Give birth!"
The baby is born! The noble lady is born!"
At the same time, the cry of a baby could be heard in the hall.
Liu Xiu was shaken, and without saying a word, she strode into the main hall. Entering the lobby of the main hall, she saw three Wen women walking out of the inner room. The Wen woman in the middle was holding a little girl who was crying loudly.
baby.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! You are a little prince! Mother and son are safe!" After hearing this, Liu Xiu's heart, which had been in her throat for a long time, finally fell back into her stomach.
He quickly stepped forward and looked down at the swaddled baby. It was very small, not even half as long as his arm. His little face was wrinkled and red from crying. His eyes were narrowed into a slit, but
The little guy was very strong, grinning and crying loudly.
Liu Xiu carefully took the child from Granny Wen's arms and looked down. For some reason, his eyes became hot and tears rolled in his eyes involuntarily.
"Thank God, our Liu family has a successor!" Liu Huang was standing by, thanking the gods of heaven and earth, and thanking his parents and even his ancestors for their spirits in heaven.
She sighed repeatedly: "It is the great ancestor who has blessed me! It must be the great great ancestor who has blessed me! This child will be blessed in the future!" As she spoke, she pulled Liu Xiu's clothes and said: "Axiu, give the child a name quickly.
!”
Liu Xiu held the child in one hand, raised the other hand, rubbed his eyes with the cuff of his sleeve, calmed down for a while, stabilized his emotions, and said: "Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement. This child, let's call him Liu Qiang."
!”
After hearing this, except for Liu Huang, all the Wen Po, palace maids, and chamberlains present knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Liu Xiu waved his hands to everyone, turned his head and said, "Zhang Kun!"
"My servant is here!" Zhang Kun hurriedly stepped forward.
Liu Xiu said: "Today, all the servants of Age will be heavily rewarded!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Liu Xiu was happy to have a son, and Zhang Kun was also happy. He grinned, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing. Looking at his excitement, he was no less excited than Liu Xiu.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!" Everyone present looked happy when they heard this. The emperor himself said that the reward would be a small amount of money, so how could people be unhappy?
Liu Xiu asked: "Is Mr. Guo okay?"
"Replying to your majesty, your Majesty is fine. It's just that it took a long time and you are too tired."
"I'll go in and take a look." Liu Xiu carried the baby and walked into the inner room. He walked straight to the bed and looked at him lying on the bed, his face was pale, and his whole person looked like Guo Shengtong who had just been washed. Liu Xiu was on the bed.
Slowly sit down.
Feeling that someone was coming next to her, Guo Shengtong slowly opened her eyes and saw it was Liu Xiu. Her eye circles turned red and she choked weakly: "Your Majesty!"
"I'm here!" Liu Xiu held Guo Shengtong's cold little hand and said softly: "Shengtong has suffered."
"The prince? Your Majesty, our prince..."
"Here!" Liu Xiu carefully placed the baby next to Guo Shengtong. Guo Shengtong turned to look at it, tears streaming down his face. Liu Xiu held Guo Shengtong's hand tighter and asked with concern: "Is there something wrong with my stomach?"
Does it hurt?"
Guo Shengtong shook his head, looked at the baby next to him, his tears flowed more fiercely, and said intermittently: "Why is he so ugly? He neither looks like your majesty, nor does he look like a concubine..."
Hearing this, the Wen Po, the eldest maid, and the little maids present almost laughed out loud. Liu Xiu was amused by Guo Shengtong's words. If she hadn't seen that she was too tired now, he would have wanted to take her and the child together.
Hug them together.
Liu Huang laughed out loud, walked to the bedside, rolled his eyes at Guo Shengtong, and said: "My silly sister-in-law, babies always look like this when they are born. When Axiu was first born, she was even uglier than Aqiang.
It looks like a little monkey that has lost its hair, but now, Axiu still looks like a talented person!"
Liu Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, you won't expose my shortcomings!"
Guo Shengtong said blankly: "Aqiang?"
Liu Xiu explained: "I gave my child a name, Liu Qiang, which is taken from 'Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement'. Does Shengtong still like it?"
Guo Shengtong nodded happily, looked at Liu Xiu, and said softly: "As long as it is a name given by my husband, all my concubines will like it."
Liu Xiu stretched out her hand to smooth Guo Shengtong's messy hair, then picked up the handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat on her face.
Liu Qiang, the first child of Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong, is also the eldest son of Liu Xiu. In ancient times, because Qiang had the same pronunciation as Jiang, Liu Qiang was usually written as Liu Jiang in history books.
Liu Xiu was happy to have a son, and there was a successor to the royal family. Everyone in the government and the public was excited. However, only five days later, a shocking news reached Luoyang, and Liu Yong proclaimed himself emperor in Suiyang.
Although it had long been known that Liu Yong had the intention of proclaiming himself emperor, when the day actually came, the Luoyang court was quite shocked, and people felt chills in their hearts.
In the past, the Luoyang court and the Red Eyebrow Army were at odds with each other, and one could accuse the Red Eyebrow Army of not being orthodox to the Han Dynasty.
Although the Red Eyebrows elected Liu Penzi, a descendant of the Great Ancestor, as the emperor, everyone can see that Liu Penzi is just a puppet and has no real power in the Red Eyebrow Army. It is reasonable for the Luoyang court to use this to attack the Red Eyebrow Army.
There is evidence.
But things are different when Liu Yong becomes emperor. First of all, Liu Yong is indeed an authentic descendant of the Han Dynasty, after Liang Xiao Wang Liu Wu, and like Liu Xiu, he is not a puppet emperor, but a local force that truly holds military and political power.
summit.
Now with Liu Yong proclaiming himself emperor, the direct consequence is that there are two Han Dynasties in the world.
