one month later—

"Ah—" In the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in the main room of the east courtyard with the door tightly closed, there were bursts of urgent cries of pain.

"Hurry up, hurry up, bring hot water, you go prepare silk, scissors, where is the midwife, why hasn't the midwife come yet?" In the room, an elderly mother stood guard in front of the bed, separated by a silk-like Looking at the white curtain, I saw a young woman lying inside, clutching the red tie flower satin hanging from the top of the curtain, moaning in pain.Chanting.

Outside the room, all the maids in the Prime Minister's Mansion have been dispatched. Today, Minister Xinna's wife is about to give birth to the Crown Princess of Xuanye Kingdom, the future queen.As a result, all the maids tensed up, fearing that there would be a slight mistake or omission, fearing that their lives would be lost.

Several servant girls came and went in a hurry to boil hot water, prepare scissors and cloth, and invite the midwife.The minister, Leng Zhong, drove into the palace to invite the imperial physician himself.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts..." the woman groaned in pain on the bed.Moaning, her messy hair was sticky on her face due to the sweat overflowing from her forehead, her delicate face was distorted, and the waves of severe pain in her lower abdomen made her screaming more and more hysterical.

"Madam, if you hold on, the midwife will be here soon, and the master will go to the palace to invite the imperial physician, and she will be back soon." The old lady on the side was busy comforting her, but with the experience of someone who had experienced it, she felt something was wrong, but she still couldn't The hostess comforted her and said: "Ma'am, stand up, how can childbirth be painless? Ma'am is a lucky person, the young lady who will be born will be the Crown Princess, the future queen..."

"Ah... ah... I, I... I can't do it..." The woman shouted louder, her complexion gradually turned pale from the previous blush, the blood on her lips faded, and her lips curled up. Between the legs, the scarlet and glaring red dyed the snow-white bed satin, shocking.

The old woman noticed something was wrong, she quickly lifted the quilt, and saw that the quilt was already bright red, she yelled in horror: "Why... how could this happen? ..."

The maids outside the yard were stunned when they heard the voice in the room. At this moment, the panting midwife hurried over with her skirt, and said as she ran, "Oh, the old slave is late, hurry up, Prepare something"

The midwife hurried into the delivery room, only to hear a bloody smell rushing towards the shop, and the maids who were following the preparations were frightened, trembling slightly into the room.On the bed, the woman's screams became more and more sharp, and she was almost in a state of madness. She waved her hands, her appearance was hideous, and the old woman who was waiting on the side was so frightened that she couldn't persuade her to do so.

"Ma'am, cheer up, hurry up, hold down the hands and feet of Madam, so that the crown princess can be born smoothly." The midwife also knew that the situation was not good, but she had to keep the young one first, otherwise the whole family would be in danger. Human lives are in danger.

When the maids heard this, they all knew that saving their lives was the most important thing, so three or five rushed up in an instant, and ruthlessly held down the woman's hands and feet.However, the woman screamed more and more miserably, but after a while, her voice gradually weakened, and she was as angry as a thread.

"The imperial doctor hasn't arrived yet, it's too late." The midwife looked at the bloodstains on the woman's legs and knew that it was too late. As soon as she got up, she stood up and pressed the woman's stomach, pushing down hard.

The woman was pressed by her, and screamed again, but the midwife said: "Ma'am, don't blame the old slave, if there is any mistake in the princess, it will be the old slave and the whole family, even the relatives." Master can't escape the crime of extermination of the family", he said, and called a few more people to help.

Such a chaotic scene made the maids standing outside the door pale with fright. If the princess died young, they would surely escape the death penalty, so several people ran into the room to help, and the others were guarding the house. No one is allowed to enter the yard.

As time passed, the cries of pain in the backyard gradually weakened, and finally, it was dead silent.Everyone's hearts were lifted, and the other concubines in the backyard turned pale and trembled when they heard the sound. Fortunately, a loud cry of a baby finally came from the room.

With this sound, everyone almost held their breath until the midwife was overjoyed and ran out with a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, and said loudly: "It's auspicious, it's auspicious, my wife gave birth to a daughter, but what about the current crown princess?" ", with this sentence, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and almost collapsed to the ground.

However, when everyone was jumping for joy, the old woman in the room came out in a hurry, she was covered in blood, and said in a trembling voice: "Madam... Madam is gone"

As soon as this sentence was uttered, before everyone recovered from their joy, they heard wailing outside the courtyard, and someone shouted: "There is news from the palace that the emperor has passed away..."

The emperor passed away... Several news in a row left everyone dumbfounded, but the hands of the midwife trembling while holding the baby in her arms, she looked down at the little baby who was carrying the pink and jade carving, and said tremblingly: "Little girl!" ...Miss is the queen..."

In the prime minister's mansion, this princess, who was already extremely noble in her mother's womb, has become a queen since she was born.

Emperor Xuande of the Xuanye Kingdom died in Lingxiao Palace on the second day of the spring equinox in the third month of Xinmao.The watch was stopped for seven days, Dongling was buried, the whole country mourned, and the filial piety was held for six years.

Three months later, the prince ascended the throne.

In the Jinling Prime Minister's Mansion, the white silk tied with flowers on the high-hanging gilt plaque has been removed, and the elegiac couplet gifts from relatives and officials inside and outside have also been removed one by one, because the new emperor's ascension to the throne cannot be tainted with bad luck.

In early May, the sun was shining brightly.A bright yellow chariot cleared the way for more than a thousand imperial guards, idlers gave way, and vendors evacuated their stalls. On the wide streets of Jinling City, only the sound of gongs was heard, and the majesty and majesty of the restaurants on both sides crowded the window sills to watch. All the people were silent.

Today, the newly enthroned new emperor came to the prime minister's mansion to visit the baby queen who had been accused of being the crown princess in the womb of the late prime minister's wife.

In the prime minister's mansion, the maids and servants were in a mess, flowers and grass were placed on the corridors and pavilions, the scenery was tied with silk, and a big red carpet rolled from the inner courtyard to the gate.Strings of red lanterns are hung on the gate of the mansion, two stone lions with their heads held high are tied with red silk and satin on their chests, and countless rare flowers and plants are placed in front of the gate.

Prime Minister Leng Zhong and his three sons, Leng Wenyan, Leng Zixuan, and Leng Zhantian.And all the family members in the backyard rushed to the front of the mansion to greet them. When they saw the horses and chariots marching to the door, they kowtowed to the ground and said: "I, Leng Zhong, lead all the family members to welcome the emperor's holy driver. I don't know the emperor The imperial driver went on a patrol, but he was not prepared enough, so please ask the emperor to punish you."
