Gongdou?I read files infinitely, crying emperor

Chapter 150
Because the concubine's delivery date was approaching, Xianfu Palace had made careful preparations. With just one order, the empress could be sent to the delivery room, and everyone would perform their duties...

But no one expected that Xibi would run to Qiankun Palace in the middle of the night.

No concubine has ever given birth in the Qiankun Palace, and the people who work here are mainly eunuchs. When they heard that the concubine was about to give birth, they couldn't help but get confused - where will she give birth?The ancients not only required women to contribute to their family and country, but also regarded the place where they gave birth as an unclean and inauspicious blood chamber. How could a mother be allowed to give birth in this important place of the Palace of Heaven and Earth?Immediately, someone hesitated and asked whether the concubine should be sent to a nearby palace.

"presumptuous!"

Xie Zhixing was furious: "Xi Bin's water has broken and it is not appropriate to move. How dare you harm her and my child!"

There was no real chaos in the Qiankun Palace, it had to be a place controlled by the emperor.

The palace officials were not ministers of the previous dynasty and had not learned too many old and pedantic rules. They were not afraid of anything but taking the blame.There was an emperor who took full responsibility and punished them without any punishment: "I understand, I will prepare now."

Xie Zhixing's eyes swept over everyone present, and finally fell on Yinglu:
"Write down the names of all the people on duty in the Qiankun Palace today, and do not discuss the matter of Xi's birth. No matter who asks, tell them that Xi's situation is urgent. I will disobey and take a day off to review the memorial in the study. ,"

He paused:
"Prince Duan is here to discuss matters with me."

……

Prince Duan was preparing to come to the morning court, and was soon summoned to the palace. The person who came to greet him was Su Yinglu. Everyone knew that this father-in-law was the most trusted by the emperor. Seeing the anxiety under his respectful tone, He also heard that Sheng Gong violated the peace, and he also became nervous: "The Emperor's Holy Gong violated the peace. He only needs a day's rest, and he also has to take charge of the medical affairs. This makes my brother feel very distressed... Eunuch Su, please tell me the truth." So, what happened to the emperor?"

emperor?The emperor is very lively!
Yinglu couldn't tell the truth and said vaguely: "The emperor just caught a cold yesterday."

"Can the emperor rest for the rest of the day if he catches the cold?"

Prince Duan didn't believe it.

He still has some understanding of his eldest brother's character.

A slight cold could not prevent him from going to court. If it didn't work, he would send important ministers to the Qiankun Palace to submit the report. It is really suspicious that this only affected him.

"My lord, don't ask. You will know when the time comes."

Prince Duan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and his steps became faster.

As a result, he finally arrived at Qiankun Palace, but there was no sign of the emperor in the study. He suddenly became suspicious and was about to get up. Yinglu asked him to sit down politely: "Your Majesty, the emperor has a decree. What do you want to do here?" Anything goes, but you can’t go anywhere.”

Ah this...

Prince Duan: "Isn't the emperor trying to raid my home?"

This posture seems to have him under control, and then search his house.

Having said that, Prince Duan is not very afraid. He is not afraid of slanting shadows even though he is upright. He also believes that the emperor brother will not treat him like that.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, but I don't dare to talk nonsense without the Emperor. In short, I think the Emperor just wants you to prove that he has been discussing matters with you in the study today."

After receiving the assurance from Manager Su, Prince Duan breathed a sigh of relief: "It is my honor to be able to get my younger brother. I hope the emperor is fine."

……

The news of Concubine Xi's birth in Qiankun Palace spread throughout the harem like wings.

The reactions of the concubines of the Sixth Palace reached an unprecedented high degree of unity at this time. First, "It's almost the same day", and then "Huh?? Why is she in the Qiankun Palace??"... Qiankun Palace, then they are not good I went, but the Queen and the Queen Mother should go. I wonder if I should go to Jianzhang Palace to pay my respects today?

If you go, it's a trivial matter to go in vain. If you don't go, it's a big mistake to be found out.

The concubines all thought so, coupled with the raging heart of gossip, the Jianzhang Palace was full of people early, they sat and waited for a while, thinking that they would not be able to wait for the queen, but in the end they waited until the queen's expression was worried. Qiankun Palace is back.

"The Empress, did the concubine activate it in the Qiankun Palace? I thought the concubine would stay there."

Concubine Wei couldn't hold back her damn curiosity.

The queen gave her a cold look: "The emperor is discussing matters with Prince Duan in the study and does not allow the female relatives of the harem to enter the Qiankun Palace. The concubines are under the care of the emperor, so you don't need to worry."

Everyone understands.

No wonder the queen's face looked so foul, it turned out that she was driven back.

"Since the emperor wants to discuss matters in the Qiankun Palace, why don't we just move the concubines out? There is no way the Queen Mother would allow a baby to be given birth in the Qiankun Palace. The empress should also fulfill her duty of persuasion."

Concubine Wei continued.

Since she was promoted to the concubine, she has become more confident in speaking. In addition, the queen has lost her palace power, and she is of the concubine type. She is not afraid of troubles. The Sixth Palace also thinks this is true.

The queen looked at her and said in an arrogant tone:

"In that case, Concubine Wei, go to Qiankun Palace and talk to the Emperor."

Concubine Wei sneered: "Then again, this matter must be managed by the Queen Mother."

Before the Empress Dowager got up to drive to Qiankun Palace, Xie Zhixing sent Yinglu to go there first, so that the Empress Dowager didn't have to come over, he had his own sense of propriety.

The Queen Mother still wanted to go, but was persuaded by Yinglu.

……

In the delivery room, Yun Jiao has not moved since she was born. People around her come and go, all waiting on her.

When I realized that I didn't wet the bed, but my water broke, I felt a faint pain in my abdomen after realizing it.

"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, the Emperor is responsible for everything, and the experienced midwives in the palace will arrange the delivery. Your Majesty, the mother and child will be safe."

Xueya held her hand.

Yun Jiao: "I'm not afraid."

"Your Majesty's hands are shaking like sieves."

"It's your hands that are shaking."

Yun Jiao gently broke away from her.

Sure enough, her hand was very steady, it was Xue Ya's that was shaking.

What Yun Jiao is not afraid of the most is surgery. She feels very calm. In ancient times, giving birth was like going through the gate of hell, but she could go back and suffer more at worst.

"emperor!"

"Your Majesty, this is the blood room, you can't come in..."

A bright yellow figure walked in, and Wen Po and the court lady were about to kneel down, but Xie Zhixing waved his hands away: "Do your part well, no one has seen me, if I get in the way of you taking care of Concubine Xi, just directly Tell me, I forgive you."

Everyone in the delivery room was in turmoil.

Even the queen does not have the treatment of the emperor accompanying her during childbirth.

This is not something to show off. If word gets out, it will harm the emperor's reputation, and the concubine will be labeled as a demon concubine who brings harm to the country.

"I sent Prince Duan to the study room and told the public that he and I were discussing matters and that the female family members of the harem would not be allowed to enter the Qiankun Palace."

Xie Zhixing explained to the confused Yun Jiao.

In "Deep Palace", he saw that the characters manipulated by Yun Jiao were often stabbed by Mrs. Wen because of his lack of scheming during childbirth. Eight out of ten times he would be stabbed. This made him feel uneasy, and he had to sit down on the spot. .

What's more, in this critical moment, he also wanted to be by Yun Jiao's side.

Although the rule set by the past dynasties is that men cannot enter the delivery room, the rule was set by the emperor. He is also the emperor now. If he wants to change it, why can't it be done?However, Xie Zhixing immediately thought that he insisted on restructuring, and the courtiers did not dare to scold him, so they would scold Yun Jiao. He did not want to see her suffer criticism, so he chose this curved method to save the country.

One of the older-looking Wen Po stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please sit next to the empress. The slaves can deliver the baby here."

They only take care of the second half.In the upper part, one is to wipe sweat and pass towels, and the other is to give soup and medicine to help strengthen. These emperors can do it themselves if they want.

The emperor cannot be left standing alone.

Yun Jiao was shocked to see the emperor sitting down next to him and said to him: "Your Majesty, a woman will bleed a lot during childbirth, and the scene will be ugly. I'm afraid I might scare you."

Xie Zhixing asked, "You're not afraid, so why should I be afraid?"

It makes sense, and Yun Jiao can't refute it.

"I still want the emperor to only see my beautiful and glorious side."

He was even more disapproving: "I don't only love this side of you."

Wenpo, who handed the towel, almost stumbled and fell. She bit her cheek until it was swollen before she could bear the surprise.

With the start of labor, Yun Jiao's face was gradually wet with cold sweat. Xie Zhixing who was sitting next to him seemed calm, but depressed like the eye of the storm before the storm.Yun Jiao turned her head, held the emperor's hand, and said solemnly: "Your majesty, it still hurts a little."

Po Wen turned around and said, "The position of the fetus is very correct. If you can't exert your strength, just take a sip of ginseng soup to boost your energy."

Xie Zhixing held her hand tightly: "When you give birth to this child, regardless of male or female, I will promote you as Concubine Xi."

Yun Jiao hummed.

After a while, the pain became more intense, and her nails dug deeply into his palm: "Your Majesty, I feel that being a concubine is not worthwhile. I want to be a noble concubine."

Xie Zhixing had really thought about the position of imperial concubine for her.

He once thought that he could fake an assassination attempt and let Yun Jiao save his life, so that he could be promoted to a noble concubine to block Yuyou's mouth... It was really not possible to seal the concubine now, and he didn't mind taking the pressure, but I'm afraid she won't be able to get rid of her reputation as a beauty.

However, when he lowered his head and saw her sweaty face, he felt so soft.

"Okay, I promise you."

……

For the two emperors and concubines, these were destined to be extremely long hours.

Po Po Wen felt that Empress Xibin had a good life. There were few noble masters in the palace who had such a smooth birth.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is very happy! Your Majesty gave birth to the second prince safely!"

Mammy hugged the second prince to show the emperor and give him a hug.

Xie Zhixing glanced at her: "Jiaojiao, take a look and I'll ask them to take her down and take care of her."

He helped Yun Jiao sit up, fed her some decoction, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

She looked at her newly-born baby, but didn't see any reason for it, and agreed to let her nanny take it and take care of it. The palace maid and nanny who would serve the little prince in the future were already prepared, so Xie Zhixing didn't have to worry about that kid.Yun Jiao leaned on him and whispered: "Your Majesty, I think the baby is a bit ugly, so I should just follow you."

Being a mother for the first time, Yun Jiao felt uneasy.

But she felt that maybe the hormones hadn't started to work hard yet. She just looked at the baby and couldn't taste the surging maternal love.She thought so, but didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear that others would say she was not a competent mother.

"Then just follow me. You don't have to worry about the child, I will take care of it. Thank you for your hard work. Just take good care of yourself from now on."

Xie Zhixing held her in his arms.

At this time, Yun Jiaopin came up with the advantage of the emperor accompanying the childbirth. She couldn't rely on Po Wen!
Being hugged by him, she felt like she had transformed from a mother into a loved girl again.

"...it hurt just now,"

Yun Jiao muttered sullenly, with a strong nasal voice: "It hurts more than I imagined, he is the child I gave birth to with great effort, but I didn't want to hug him just now, and I didn't want to I'm sorry for breastfeeding myself."

When she was reading novels, the heroine would secretly breastfeed.

But what she was thinking just now was "I'm so tired that my hands can't work hard" and "Fortunately, the emperor asked someone to take the baby down", and she just wanted to lie down and do nothing. She was so useless. Could it be that she couldn't be taken care of well? Baby?Yun Jiao expressed her confusion intermittently. Every word she said would discredit her.

"You have not sorry anyone, you are my great hero,"

Xie Zhixing's other hand gently covered her mouth to prevent her from blaming herself. He asked her, "Have you made any progress in your knowledge during the ten months of pregnancy?"

"...No, every time I want to read an article to Concubine Wei, I pretend to have fetal pressure."

"Since you didn't take the time to learn and understand the truth, how can you become mature because of a childbirth? There is no necessary relationship between the two. The kind of person you were before giving birth to him will be the same after giving birth. You My responsibility has been completed here. You are so brave that I am proud of you. It is my responsibility to teach him and raise him into a man who can stand alone."

The emperor was like a mountain beside her. If the sky fell, he would hold it up.

The self-blame weighing on Yun Jiao's heart gradually dissipated, replaced by sleepiness. She leaned against him and fell asleep soon.Xie Zhixing waited until she fell asleep before getting up and going out.Before leaving, she did not forget to tell Xue Ya: "Take good care of your mistress. Don't rush her to get up. Stay as long as you want. If you have any questions, ask others to do it. Concubine Xi can't live without you. When she wakes up, she won't see a familiar face." Will be scared."

"...This slave takes orders."

When Xue Ya knelt down to thank her, she still couldn't believe it.

Just the imperial concubine? ? ?

The emperor promised the position of concubine as soon as he opened his mouth? ? ? ?

……

Also confused was Prince Duan.

He was called over and stayed in the study as long as Yun Jiao was born.

Finally, when he saw the emperor's brother walking in full of vitality, he immediately stood up and saluted, but was held up before he finished: "Second brother, I can only ask for your help this time."

Hearing this tone, Prince Duan immediately became excited.

"Your Majesty, I will never give up even if I die!"

"I just entered the delivery room to accompany Concubine Xi to give birth to the baby. This matter will be harmful to her reputation if it spreads. Therefore, I want to tell the public that when she gave birth, I and you were discussing things in the study. Now that mother and child are safe, I can let go of one thing."

"..."

what?
Just for this kind of thing?

Prince Duan was the most traditional man in ancient times. He knew that a woman giving birth was like going through hell, but he rewarded her with a huge reward afterwards. There was no need for a husband to accompany her, not to mention that a man could not help after he went in!

However, Prince Duan never doubted any of the decisions of the emperor: "I obey the decree, is the imperial concubine safe? Congratulations to the emperor on the birth of the prince!"

Prince Duan was equally shocked when he mentioned the position of the noble concubine.

But who does the emperor like?

What the emperor likes must be good.

Then his imperial brother added: "When I think of the child who taught Concubine Xi to suffer so much, I feel bad in my heart, but it is her child after all. I have also thought about it, and I will call him Chengzuo."

……

Zuo means blessing.

In "Chen Qing Biao", there is a sentence "the family is declining and the fortune is poor", which refers to the poor fortune.

But it has another meaning -

In "Dongdu Fu", "The former Wang Mang rebelled, and the Han Dynasty was short of Zuo." Zuo refers to the throne.

Not to mention how great this blessing is, whose child will be called to inherit the throne!
