The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 195
The queen gave birth to this child, and the analgesic attack began at the second quarter of the third day of May in the 13th year of Kangxi.

On this day, there were countless imperial physicians and obstetric nurses inside and outside the Kunning Palace. The emperor got the news, left the court and rushed to the Kunning Palace to guard.

The two midwives who recited the song of joy were waiting at the side. The "happy pit" for burying the little prince's placenta had already been dug, and the chopsticks, red silk, gold, silver, eight treasures, etc., which symbolized the queen's soon birth to a precious son, were placed in the wedding hall. In the pit, just wait for the queen to give birth smoothly.

Except for Concubine Yi, Wan Lai and Rong Yue, the other concubines in the Six Palaces, because of their lower status, inevitably offended the emperor's heir, so they just stopped outside the palace gate and greeted a few words from a distance to express their affection.

This Kunning Palace was full of people, so it was lively, but the Yanxi Palace on the other side, where only the nobleman Li Xiyu lived alone since Yunshan's death, was extremely quiet.

The news of the Queen's birth was brought to her by her servant Yin Zhu.

Yinzhu held a bowl of white fungus bird's nest soup and handed it to Xi Wei, who was leaning on the warm seat and looking out the window to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the garden flowers. She seemed to be in a good mood, humming a little tune, with a contented expression on her face.

"My lord, the stomach of the Kunning Palace is moving." Yin Zhu handed the bowl to Xi Wei, who was overjoyed and sneered a few times, and put the steaming bowl of white fungus and bird's nest soup along the window sill Sprinkled all over the floor: "This is really excellent news, Yun Changzai, you can feel at ease when you learn about this."

Yin Zhu lowered her head, and said a little uneasy: "My lord, this fact is too dangerous. If there is something really wrong with the empress, it must be a major matter to calm down the palace. If the emperor investigates thoroughly, it is inevitable that we will not be involved. Come."

Xi Wei smiled, and said slowly: "The two princes who died long ago, the nobles, put up a cover, and the Qin Tianjian celestial phenomena made their remarks. If this happened, others will only rely on him, Wu Sangui. Come on, what does it have to do with us?"

Yinzhu pondered and said: "But my lord, the nun who gave birth was willing to do so much because we threatened her with her only son outside the palace. If she survived, why didn't she confess to us?"

Xi Yan caressed her forehead hair, and the round agate grains on the armor were even brighter against the sun: "If she only cared about her own life, she should have given me to the queen in the morning. As a mother, after all, you are thinking about yourself. Child. Besides, murdering the queen is a serious crime that would implicate the entire family. She made such a big detour, not only did she fail to save her own child, but instead took the lives of the whole family, do you really think she is stupid?"

Hearing what Xi Ye said, Yin Zhu let out a long sigh of relief, and her expression gradually praised: "It's also my master's idea, thinking that the queen's fetal position is not correct, so she ordered the mother to massage the queen's cervix again and again. The technique is tightened and smaller, and now the fetal position is correct, but the cervix was not dilated during childbirth, and even if an offspring is born, it is likely to be fatal from blood collapse."

Xi Wei glanced at Yinzhu, her eyes flashed with stars, and she smiled charmingly: "What do I know, I only know that there is a karma and reincarnation in this world. What can we do if we are given a chance to see each other? It is not her retribution."

In the Kunning Palace, the empress' pain has lasted for more than two hours. The emperor sat in the main hall, listening to the empress' moaning in pain, and hurriedly paced back and forth in the hall: "It's been so long, why hasn't there been any movement at all?" ?”

Concubine Yi calmed down, took a sip of hot tea and persuaded, "Your Majesty, giving birth to a woman takes a lot of time, even three or five hours, that is common, don't panic, just wait for it."

The emperor sighed with some unease: "There was something about the honorable person before, how do you want me to feel at ease?"

Wan Lai naturally understands how important the empress's son is to him, and his anxiety now is probably more about whether the emperor's heir will be safe and single.

She got up suddenly, and respectfully bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the empress has given birth before, and the mother and child will be safe, and I will give birth to another son for you."

Several people were talking, but when they heard the empress's miserable cry in the dormitory, there was a burst of resounding crying of a baby.

The emperor was overjoyed, rubbing his hands and wandering at the door of the bedroom, not long after, the mother wrapped a baby in bright yellow swaddling clothes and left the bedroom.She knelt down with joy on her face, and said solemnly: "Congratulations to the emperor, the empress has given birth to a little elder brother!"

"Elder brother? Is it really elder brother?" The emperor was overjoyed, and quickly hugged the baby from the mother's hand.

The baby was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the sky is full and full, which is really a blessed appearance, so he held the baby in his arms for Concubine Yi, Wan Lai, and Rong Yue to look at, and said with a joyful smile: "This child is because of Wu Sangui, the southwestern star." The catastrophe is under control, and now I am born in peace and so blessed, I am really happy to see it."

Seeing the cuteness of the baby, Rong Yue couldn't help but take off her armor and touched the child's immature face: "It's pleasing, and my concubine looks at it and loves it from the bottom of my heart. It's really a great joy for the emperor to have a son with the empress again For the matter, why not give the child a baby name first?"

"Baby name." The emperor thought for a moment, and the light in his eyes confirmed: "That is 'Baocheng'. May the gods and ancestors bless him to grow up safely."

Concubine Yi smiled and called the baby's nurse, and teased him with her eyebrows: "Baocheng, do you like the baby name your Emma gave you?"

Before saying this, Baocheng suddenly cried bitterly, and even made a fuss in the emperor's arms, the nanny hurriedly took Baocheng from the emperor's arms.

Seeing this, Wan Lai laughed and joked: "Look, Your Majesty, Baocheng doesn't like the baby name you gave him. He called him twice and then started crying like this."

The emperor smiled heartily, his eyes fixed on Baocheng's body and never left: "Since you don't like it, can you please allow your mother-in-law to come up with a baby name for you later?"

When the emperor said this, Baocheng cried even more fiercely.

Concubine Yi showed doubts on her face, and asked the nanny: "But what's wrong with the child, and why is the cry so terribly?"

The nanny was also puzzled, she touched Baocheng's swaddle and replied: "The imperial doctor said it was safe, and he didn't urinate and soak the cloth. In fact, it is normal for a child to cry at birth. The louder the cry, the better it will be." It seems that the prince is in better health. Don't worry, the emperor, the old slave will first hand over the elder brother to the nursing mother, and the empress is very tired after giving birth, may the emperor go and see?"

The emperor nodded heavily: "Naturally, the empress has worked hard."

Somehow, as soon as the word 'Queen' was mentioned in the mouths of the crowd, Baocheng would cry endlessly.

When everyone was puzzled, the door curtain of the side hall was suddenly lifted, and the rest of the midwife and the imperial physician staggered, their foreheads dripping with sweat, and they all knelt down in mournful faces: "Your Majesty, it's not good! Empress Empress, Empress Empress, she is bleeding!"
