Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 44 Embarrassment
Seeing that it was almost noon, and there was no news from the inner hall, all the concubines waiting in the outer hall became a little impatient.

"Why is there no news yet?"

"Yeah, I don't know what happened to the person? How long has it been?"

"When I first came here, I could still hear Song Yuyi moaning, but now I haven't heard Song Yuyi's voice for a long time."

Everyone was discussing in a low voice, not very optimistic about Song Yuyi's situation in their tone.

At this moment, a baby's cry came from the room. Although it was a little weak, it was indeed the voice of a baby.

Everyone's discussion stopped for a moment, and then there was another burst of low discussions and murmurs.

"gave birth?"

"Finally born."

"I don't know if it's a little prince or a little princess."

Jiang Man listened to the discussion in her ears and observed the expressions of everyone quietly.Envy and jealousy are intertwined on most people's faces.

But there are also accidents, such as Hu Meiren, Lu Meiren and Ji Zhaorong, Hu Meiren's face is full of joy, as if she is sincerely happy for Song Xiuyi, the bitterness on Lu Meiren's face flashes past, and then returns to indifference, while Ji Zhaorong is restless With tension.

Jiang Man couldn't help looking at Ji Zhaorong twice more, wondering if the maid serving Ji Zhaorong noticed her gaze, and whispered something in Ji Zhaorong's ear, Ji Zhaorong froze for a moment, and the expression on his face disappeared, but His complexion is still not good-looking.

Jiang Man also looked away, lowered her head and studied the ground.

It stands to reason that Song Xiuyi gave birth, so no matter what, someone had to report to them who were waiting in the outer hall, but after a while, no one came out from inside, could it be that they were forgotten?Or did you say something else?

Emperor Yong'an and Concubine Jiang Gui did not come out either.Thinking of the weak cry of the baby, Jiang Man couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the baby?
It's not that she was expecting something wrong with Song Xiuyi's child, she was just making a reasonable guess.If she was really looking forward to something, she was even more looking forward to Song Xiuyi giving birth to a healthy little prince.

At that time, the eldest prince born to Ji Zhaorong will occupy the eldest son, and the third prince born to Song Xiuyi will have the grandfather Song Shangshu and the great-grandfather Song Taifu who once served as the emperor's teacher.

In this way, the second prince caught in the middle will not attract too much attention.

She never thought about letting the second prince fight for anything. Her only hope is that the second prince can grow up safely. In the future, it would be best if he could have a rich fief and be an idle prince.

About another quarter of an hour passed before there was any movement from inside.

Jiang Man raised her head and found that it was Emperor Yong'an, followed by Concubine Jiang Gui and Concubine Wei De.

Jiang Man's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly lowered her head.

However, there were still people who stepped forward to find a sense of presence without winking.

"Your Majesty, how is Elder Sister Song? The concubine and others are very worried." Seeing Emperor Yong'an coming out, Chu Baolin hurriedly straightened his clothes and hair, regardless of his low status, and went up to meet him.

It had been a while since she had seen Emperor Yong'an alone, and with the fact that she was rejected for giving snacks before, she was afraid that she would be rejected by Emperor Yong'an just like that.

Emperor Yong'an gave Chu Baolin a cold look, and walked out without saying anything.

Jiang Man happened to be standing on the outside. Seeing this, she shrank herself back again, not wanting to provoke Emperor Yong'an's eyes at this time.

But the sky failed, seeing that Emperor Yong'an was about to walk in front of her, Jiang Man's stomach suddenly groaned a few times.

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Man, and Emperor Yong'an also stopped.

Jiang Man clutched her stomach, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and slip in.

A smile flashed in Emperor Yong'an's eyes, he looked back at Jiang Man, and said: "I think all the concubines are hungry after waiting all morning, so go back to the palace for dinner."

Emperor Yong'an left after finishing speaking, and the eyes of all the concubines looking at Jiang Man have changed from watching a joke to jealousy.

Especially Chu Baolin, with those eyes that wished to eat Jiang Man, but it was no wonder that she was not feeling well for anyone, and eagerly leaned forward to express, the emperor didn't even give an extra look, Jiang Man didn't do anything, But the emperor stopped to rescue her.

Concubine Jiang also took a deep look at Jiang Man, then looked away, and said to the concubines: "Okay, everyone is tired all morning, let's go back and rest."

Everyone waited all morning, and now they called back without knowing anything, and someone couldn't help asking: "Young Concubine, how is Song Yiyi, is the baby a little princess or a little prince?"

Concubine Jiang glanced at Jiang Cairen who asked this question, and said expressionlessly: "Song Yuyi gave birth to five princesses for the emperor, and she is currently recuperating."

Concubine Jiang was obviously unwilling to say more, and the rest of the people did not dare to ask any more questions. After Concubine Jiang, Concubine Wei De and others left first, the rest of the people also dispersed.

After walking some distance from Minser Palace, Wan Dong whispered to Jiang Man, "I'm afraid the fifth princess has some deficiency." Otherwise, Concubine Jiang would say that Song Yuyi gave birth to a healthy little princess, and that the emperor and the others came out of the inner chamber. Sometimes his face will not be so ugly.

Jiang Man has always had an unlovely expression since her stomach growled just now, but now she just nodded without energy when she heard what Wan Dong said.

The original intention of Wan Dong to say this was to divert Jiang Man's attention and prevent Jiang Man from continuing to be embarrassed, but seeing Jiang Man's lack of interest, he knew that he had failed.

Wan Dong could only continue to speak, "Master, you don't need to care about it. You see, the emperor not only didn't say anything, but also rescued you. It's too late for the concubines in the palaces to envy you, so who would laugh at you?"

Jiang Man let out a long sigh, it wasn't a question of whether someone laughed at her.No matter whether others would laugh at her or not, she herself was the first to die of embarrassment.If I had known that she should have listened to Lianqiu's advice this morning, at least eat something to make a cushion, and if she ate a few bites this morning, she would never have the embarrassing scene just now.

As soon as Jiang Man returned to Yufu Garden, she went into the inner room, lay on the bed and buried her face in the quilt, Lianqiu held onto Bandong worriedly, and asked in a low voice, "Master, what's wrong?"

Just as Wan Dong was about to speak, Jiang Man said: "Don't say it." Because her face was buried in the quilt, Jiang Man's voice sounded a bit muffled.

Lianqiu became even more worried, and looked at Wandong inquiringly, and Wandong gave Lianqiu a comforting look, shook his head and said silently: "It's okay."
