Queen Xiaozhuang's personal maid: Su Malagu

Chapter 38
(1)

The Eighth Prince passed away.The little prince who was less than one year old, who was the heir to the throne three months after his birth, who was loved by thousands of people like his mother, died of a heart attack.This was definitely a huge blow to Huang Taiji and Concubine Hai Lanzhu.

Concubine Chen cried and cried all day long, unable to accept this fact at all.The emperor is also depressed, and has no intention of going to the court to be a director.The entire palace was plunged into grief, and the harem was even more lifeless. No one dared to say a word, and even walked softly, not daring to speak loudly.

Bumbutai hadn't left Yongfu Palace since the day the eighth prince died, because she was pregnant, so she didn't even have to attend the eighth prince's funeral.Su Mo'er came back after participating and said, "Concubine Chen cried to death."

Bumbutai said nothing.

"I'm a lot haggard, and the emperor and empress seem to be a lot older." Su Mo'er said again.

Bumbutai picked up a cup of tea and took a sip with no expression on his face.

"The noble concubine Mu Zhong cried very sadly, but I don't think she may be crying for the eighth prince. And that concubine Batma Sushu..." Su Mo'er stopped and glanced at Bumbutai.Bumbutai sat in another position and nodded towards Su Mo'er.

Su Mo'er knew that Bumbutai wanted her to continue talking.

"She was still the same as before, cold and shed a few tears."

"Hmph!" Bumbutai sneered, "She should be very happy."

"Your Majesty thinks that the Eighth Prince..." Su Mo'er was unwilling to say the word "death".

"I think it should be related. Didn't the three-month-old prince of the wooden clock also died of illness?" Bumubutai suddenly looked at Su Mo'er after finishing speaking.

"Go and find out if it's also a heart attack."

Su Mo'er nodded and said, "Your Majesty, let's lie down and rest for a while, don't think about anything, and take good care of your body."

Bumbutai got up, and after Su Mo'er helped her to bed, she gave some instructions to Nanny Wang and Jiu'er before leaving Yongfu Palace.

Su Mo'er first went to Linzhi Palace, trying to find out about the kind-hearted Yan'er, but she didn't know that Yan'er was not there, and she said that she had been sent to Yanqing Palace for several months.Su Mo'er went to Tai Hospital again.

As soon as the old doctor saw her, he asked, "Concubine Zhuang, is your health okay?"

Su Mo'er nodded.

"Concubine Zhuang is about to give birth, you have to take care of her carefully." The old doctor said again.

Su Mo'er still nodded.She kept looking at the old doctor, and the old doctor was a little scared by her.

"Why?" The old doctor turned his eyes to one side.

"Did the little prince born to the noble concubine Mu Zhong last year also suffer from heart disease?" Su Mo'er asked.

The old doctor was taken aback.

"This... this humble minister doesn't know." Although the old doctor tried his best to conceal his panic, he still couldn't escape Su Mo'er's eyes.

"Same as the Eighth Prince, it shouldn't be a coincidence." Su Moer said, turned and left.

"Serve Concubine Zhuang well, and contact the midwife early." The old doctor said behind Su Mo'er.

Su Mo'er didn't speak.Let the midwife live in Yongfu Palace now until Bumbutai gives birth smoothly, which is something she also thought of.There are too many things happening recently, and Bumbutai's mood is very affected, and she is worried.

Su Mo'er hurried to Yongfu Palace, she was always thinking about Bumbutai in her heart.As soon as she arrived at the gate of Yongfu Palace, Su Mo'er saw the people from Qingning Palace.

"Could it be that the empress is here?" Su Mo'er thought about it, and ran in quickly.

Just as he was about to enter Bumbutai's room, Queen Zhezhe came out.

"May the queen be blessed and safe!" Su Mo'er hurriedly saluted.

"Where are you going? Your mother is about to give birth, and you are still running around?" Queen Zhezhe said sharply.

Before Su Mo'er could speak, Bumbutai said, "Empress, it was my concubine who sent Su Mo'er to the imperial hospital."

Queen Zhezhe didn't say anything else, she glanced at Su Mo'er: "I'm so kind to wait on you, what's the matter with your mother, I just ask you."

While agreeing, Su Mo'er said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is about to give birth, it will be better for the midwife to live in Yongfu Palace now."

Queen Zhezhe agreed without hesitation.After Zhezhe left, Bumbutai asked, "I guess you didn't get the result?"

Just as Su Mo'er was about to answer, she said, "Let's put it down first, and we can just guard against it."

Bumbutai has her plan, and now she has not yet reached the time to "attack", she can only defend now.The death of the eighth prince caused the queen to pin her "mission" on her.This time I came here, took a lot of supplements, and asked her if she wanted to add a few girls.

Bumbutai refused.She knew that in the harem, she must not be too arrogant, otherwise she would be jealous.If you become the target of others' jealousy, you may lose everything.

Late on the third night of the midwife's stay in Yongfu Palace, Bumbutai developed labor pains.Su Mo'er, who had been by her side all the time, called Jiu'er to go to the imperial hospital to call the old doctor, and at the same time called the midwife.The midwife came in in a hurry, and after an inspection, she covered her mouth and yawned and said, "It will take a while, the labor pains have just begun."

Su Mo'er wanted the midwife to stay by Bumbutai's side, but Bumbutai asked the midwife to go back to sleep first.The midwife's eyes were drooping just now, and she became more energetic in an instant. She gave Su Mo'er a few words and went out.

Su Mo'er looked at the pale Bumbutai who was sweating all over in pain, and was very anxious, and sweat oozes from his forehead.

"It's okay, it's just like giving birth." Bumbutai endured the pain and said with a smile.

"Let the midwife come in." After Su Mo'er finished speaking, she asked Jiu'er to call the midwife, but Bumbutai stopped her again.

"I know, it's still a long time before the birth, it's useless to call now, watching her dangling, I feel annoyed." Bumbutai said, holding Su Mo'er tightly Her hand hurt, so she pinched Su Mo'er hard.

Although she has given birth to three princesses, Bumbutai is still very nervous and scared this time.This nervousness and fear, in addition to the childbirth itself, also worried about whether the child will be a prince or Princess.

The old doctor came in in a panic, felt Bumubutai's pulse, and said the same thing to the midwife.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, everything is normal, and it will take a few more hours."

Su Moer felt relieved.She asked Jiu'er to take the old doctor to wait in the next room, and whispered to herself: "Did this Wang Momo tell the emperor and queen about the news of the mother's going to give birth? Why is there no movement outside?"

On the day when Concubine Chen gave birth, the entire harem was boiling, and the emperor and queen went to Guanju Palace to wait early, but when Bumbutai gave birth, there was silence outside the door.

Su Mo'er complained for Bumbutai in her heart.

Right here, she heard a rush of footsteps outside. "The emperor is here?" Su Mo'er was overjoyed, and whispered to Bumbutai.Bumbutai smiled: "Give me my hair quickly."

Su Mo'er stroked back the hair that was sticking to her face, and wiped her face with a hot towel.

"Help me up!" Bumbutai said, struggling to get up.

"Your Majesty, it's better to lie down, the emperor won't blame you." Su Mo'er said.

Bumbutai smiled and lay down again.

"Is it coming soon? Has the midwife arrived? Why are you standing there stupidly? Why is this palace deserted?" Queen Zhezhe's voice came from outside the door, and Su Mo'er and Bumbutai showed disappointed expressions at the same time.Bumbutai smiled sadly and closed his eyes tightly.

"He won't come, why did I forget? He only has Concubine Chen in his heart, how could he have me?" Bumbutai whispered to himself softly.

"Mother, you..." Su Mo'er didn't continue, because she didn't know what to say, but she just held Bumbutai's hand even tighter.

"What's the matter?" Queen Zhezhe stepped into the room.

Su Mo'er hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Where's the midwife? And the imperial doctor, where are they? Didn't they call?" She looked around, seeing that Bumbutai was only surrounded by Su Mo'er and two other little girls, and shouted loudly.

"The empress, the midwife and the imperial physician have arrived, and they said that the empress will be waiting in the next room for a few more hours." Su Mo'er said hastily.

"Let them all come over and watch at the door. Why is it deserted everywhere for such a big event? Light all the candles and light them up. This harem needs some festive events to cheer it up!" Queen Zhezhe said.

"Empress, you feel sorry for this concubine, and this concubine loves it. But it's only been a few days since the incident with the eighth prince, let's forget it! Besides, I don't know whether this concubine is pregnant with Princess or the little prince..."

Bumbutai stroked his belly, tears streaming down his face.

Bumbutai kept biting her lips and weeping. The pain caused her tears, sweat and blood from her lips to pool together.Su Mo'er's hand was already bleeding from Bumbutai's pinch, and Queen Zhezhe walked up and down the room nervously.The old doctor standing outside the door also had sweat dripping from his forehead.

The palace was very quiet in the middle of the night, but the Yongfu Palace was brightly lit. The maids and eunuchs all gathered around Bumbutai's room, with their ears pricked up and their necks stretched out, hoping to hear the cry of the baby, and even more hope to hear a sentence "It's the little prince."

In the harem, being favored by a concubine means that the people around the favored concubine are favored.And in the harem full of beauties, there are only a handful of concubines who are always favored.But if a little prince is born, even if she is not favored again, this concubine doesn't have to worry about being thrown into the cold palace.

The mother of one's own family is expensive based on the child, and the servants around her can also "raise the tide and lift the boat".Therefore, the servants of Yongfu Palace, big and small, all stared nervously at the bedroom where Bumbutai gave birth.

Bumbutai was so painful that he was about to faint, but the midwife remained calm.While directing the maids around her to take this and that, she observed Bumbutai.

"How? How is it?" Queen Zhezhe also had sweat on his forehead.

For more than a year, Zhezhe's mood has experienced a contrast between heaven and earth.Concubine Chen, who is most favored by Huang Taiji, gave birth to the little prince and was made the crown prince by the emperor, which made Zhezhe extremely excited.However, the little prince who was less than one year old died young, which made her excited mood fall into cold water again.She began to feel afraid, if the three of their aunts and nephews failed to give birth to a son for Huang Taiji, would she still be able to hold her position as queen?Even if they can sit still, can the mission of the Horqin people be completed?

She can't ignore the sadness and pain of Concubine Chen of Guanju Palace, but what worries her the most is Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace.Concubine Zhuang, whom she had neglected before, brought her hope again.

"Your Majesty is about to give birth." The midwife said, and began to panic.

"Is giving birth soon? Hurry up!" Zhezhe trembled nervously.The maid brought a chair and put it in front of her: "Empress, sit down..." Before the maid beside her finished speaking, Zhe Zhe stared back.

"My lady, work hard! Work hard! Come out soon! Come out soon!"

The midwife's voice, together with Bumbutai's screaming in pain, hovered over Yongfu Palace, and the entire Yongfu Palace was immersed in a tense atmosphere.

"Ma'am, don't stop, work hard! Work hard!" the midwife was still yelling.

"Ah! Ah!" Bumbutai's piercing cry continued.The pain made her almost pass out, and she even gave up trying.

Zhe Zhe sat down and stood up in his seat anxiously; stood up and sat down again.

"Empress, the emperor has sent someone here." A maid came in and whispered to her.

Bumbutai, who was feeling a little discouraged on the bed, seemed to have heard this sentence.She stopped yelling and turned her head towards the door.Su Mo'er's nose was sour.

"Your Majesty, try harder, the little prince will be born soon, the little prince will be born soon." Su Mo'er whispered into Bumbutai's ear.

Bumbutai's eyes widened, and she yelled, "Yes! The little prince is about to be born! The little prince is about to be born!" She clenched one hand tightly, and pinched Su Mo'er with the other. arm, then took a deep breath and gave it a hard push.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!" A crisp baby cry came from the midwife's hand.

"What? What?" Queen Zhezhe hurried to the bed.

Su Mo'er had already seen the baby's gender, she shouted: "It's the little prince! It's the little prince!"

"Little prince! Really... really small... little prince!" Empress Zhezhe was so excited that her mouth began to tremble.

"Congratulations, empress empress, congratulations, concubine Zhuang! It's the little prince!" The midwife said loudly after taking a deep breath.

The old doctor outside the house let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Little prince! It's the little prince!" These words spread from Bumbutai's room to the ears of maids and eunuchs outside the room, then to the attendants sent by the emperor, and finally to the emperor.

"What? Concubine Zhuang gave birth to a little prince?" The emperor sat up from Concubine Chen's bed.Concubine Chen's face was pale, she covered her head under the quilt, and the quilt was trembling slightly...

"Yes! It's the little prince! Congratulations to the emperor! Congratulations to the emperor!" The people outside said again.

Huang Taiji got out of bed and stood in front of the window.Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, he murmured: "As soon as my Eighth Prince left, the Ninth Prince came again. The fortune of our Qing Dynasty has arrived!"

After muttering, Huang Taiji shouted: "Come here, give the Ninth Prince the name Fulin!"
