Harem for a living

Chapter 201

Chen Manrou thought for a day, and finally came up with a very safe solution.Someone invited the emperor, and Chen Manrou expressed her thoughts—the empress dowager is always in poor health recently, so she wanted to find some people to copy Buddhist scriptures for the empress dowager.

Tang Wan'er is the niece of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, so naturally Tang Wan'er has a part in this glorious and great task.Since Tang Wan'er wanted to copy Buddhist scriptures, she naturally couldn't let the girl from the Pei family accompany her, so the girl from the Pei family was immediately sent out of the palace.

The emperor looked at Chen Manrou inscrutably, and Chen Manrou felt a little guilty, so he nodded with a smile and said: "I originally thought that the Empress Dowager's health has been a little bad in the past two years, maybe the feng shui in the palace has changed. I am planning to invite several masters to come to the palace to do rituals. Since Zitong has such a good idea, there is no need to invite those masters. Just let Tang Zhaorong and the others copy Buddhist scriptures, and then send them to Fahua Temple, ask eminent monks to consecrate them, and then invite Just come back and worship.”

Chen Manrou smiled and nodded: "Well, I feel that Tang Zhaorong and the others must be very happy to pray for the Queen Mother. On weekdays, Tang Zhaorong and others are also very filial to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother..."

The emperor smiled and nodded: "You don't have to worry, I will greet you at the Empress Dowager's place, you just have to rest assured to raise your baby, and give me a white and fat prince someday, just as smart and cute as Xiaosi."

Chen Manrou blushed and didn't answer, if a little princess was born, it would still be her mother's heart.

After coming out of Yongshou Palace, the emperor went directly to Ci'an Palace.Afterwards, the imperial decree came out, because to pray for the Queen Mother, all the concubines had to start copying Buddhist scriptures. Each person had to copy at least a hundred volumes. If you copied more, you would be rewarded. If you copied less, the emperor did not say, No one dared to ask.

In order to ensure that there will be no typos or smudges on the Buddhist scriptures, the emperor even said that he will conduct spot checks occasionally, and if there is any disrespect, hum.

Chen Manrou finally breathed a sigh of relief, now she didn't have to go to pay her respects, nor was she asked to be greeted by others, let alone listen to Tang Wan'er and the others passing some news from time to time.Even if you want to take a walk in the Imperial Garden at this moment, it will basically not be a big deal.

Because all the concubines are busy copying Buddhist scriptures.Although the emperor said that only one hundred volumes is enough, but the emperor also said that more than one will be rewarded.Even if there is no reward, in order to make a good impression in front of the emperor and queen mother, they have to exceed it.

Well, even if they don't care about those rewards, or the good impression of the emperor and queen mother, but others are doing the best, if you just copy a hundred volumes and stop writing, it's not just a matter of not having a good impression.

The days are getting better, Chen Manrou is just feeling better, Huai Xiang is still not feeling better, because summer is here.

Chen Manrou felt uncomfortable if there was too little ice basin, and if there was too much ice basin, I was afraid that the child would feel uncomfortable. In just a few months, Chen Manrou lost a lot of weight.The emperor now has to go around the Yongshou Palace every day, looking at Chen Manrou's stomach with a bit of worry in his eyes.

Finally endured until October, the weather began to cool down slowly, and Chen Manrou had new troubles—swelling all over her body, when she pressed down with a finger, a pit would appear on her body, it took a long time to recover, and her skin became transparent It's not that the skin is too good, but too much water.

Chen Manrou took two steps, and her body ached terribly.But she doesn't move around, her stomach is too big, and she is worried that it will be dangerous during childbirth.Xiao Wu will never leave Chen Manrou's side at all right now, she will follow wherever Chen Manrou goes.

And Xiaosi also goes back and forth between Chongwen Hall and Yongshou Palace every day.He will not go back to the South Third Institute until the key is released.

Mrs. Chen handed over the signs more and more. Under the worry of a group of people, Chen Manrou gave birth prematurely.The original expected date of delivery was in November, but at the end of October, it suddenly started.

That day happened to be the first day of the Longevity Festival.

The emperor was accepting the congratulations from the officials, and after hearing the report from Chief Manager Ming, he even ignored the feast after the congratulations from the officials, turned around and went to Yongshou Palace.Chen Manrou has been helped to the delivery room, with four big maids outside guarding her, and four big maids inside. In addition, there are Wen Po and midwife who Chen Manrou prepared early. Even Li Yuyi has been guarding outside with a medicine box on her back. up.

"How is it? How is the queen?" The emperor rushed in and asked, Li Yuyi quickly got up, and before he could salute, the emperor grabbed his arm: "Didn't it say that there is still one month? Why are you starting now? The queen Are you injured?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the empress is fine. I have checked the pulse of the empress before. The empress's fetus is too large. The mother's body can't bear it now, so the premature birth has no external cause."

Doctor Li hurriedly said, but as soon as the words came out, the emperor became more nervous: "The fetus is too big?"

Originally, the emperor didn't know what an oversized fetus meant, but during this period of time, he came to Yongshou Palace every day. After hearing a lot, he naturally knew that an oversized fetus was not a problem for pregnant women. good thing.

Facing the emperor's black face and low pressure, Li Yuyi could only choose nice words to say: "The empress is in good health in the past, and nothing will happen to her."

The emperor was about to say something when he suddenly heard Xiao Si's voice: "Father, where is the queen mother? How is the mother queen?"

"Why are you back?" The emperor frowned, and Xiao Si was still anxious and worried, and said casually: "I heard they said that the queen mother is going to give birth, so I asked my husband for leave. How is the mother mother now? It's dangerous ?”

The emperor didn't have time to answer, so he heard a cry from the side: "I want my mother, woo, mother, is my mother sick? Where is my mother? I want my mother?"

The emperor was furious: "Who sent the fifth princess here? Where is the nurse? Where is the mother?"

Several nuns rushed over quickly, one hugged the fifth princess, the other hurriedly made amends, the emperor was about to get angry, but Xiaosi waved his hands and said, "Don't you hurry up and send the fifth princess back? Is it possible that you still have to wait here?" ?”

Xiao Wu broke away from the nanny's hand and came over to hug Xiao Si's leg: "I won't go, brother, I want to see the queen mother, what's the matter with the queen mother? Is the queen mother sick?"

Xiaosi reached out and rubbed her head: "It's not that the mother is sick, but the little brother is about to be born. The mother is in the house. You can go back and wait first, okay? Have a meal, sleep, and when you wake up, you can see the mother." and little brother."

Xiao Wu didn't want to, but it happened that there was a shrill cry from the room, Xiao Wu trembled, and even Xiao Si's face turned pale.The emperor quickly reached out and hugged Xiao Wu: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Wu, can you go back to sleep first? The emperor promises that your mother and queen will be fine, and you will have more little brothers later."

After coaxing and persuading, and finally with the nanny's forceful pull, Xiao Wu was finally taken away.The emperor originally planned to get Xiao Si away as well. After all, Xiao Si is not yet ten years old, and the queen's screams in the room are too shrill. Not smooth.

It's just that Xiao Si is more stubborn, and he shows filial piety, saying that only by knowing how painful it is for the mother to give birth, can he be more filial to the mother in the future.

The father and son stood guard at the door, the emperor walked from left to right, and Xiao Si walked from right to left, they bumped into each other, the emperor looked down, Xiao Si rubbed his head, and then went on to circle each other.

"Doctor, it's been an hour. When will the queen be born?" The emperor was very irritable, and Li Yu was very helpless: "Your majesty, your mother was in good health in the past, and there must be nothing wrong. Wait, Weichen will make another prescription."

It is useless to prescribe it, and there is no pulse or anything at the moment, and Li Yuyi can only prescribe a midwifery medicine based on experience, or a mild and nourishing medicine, and no one will cook medicine for it.At this moment, there are two big ladies in the small kitchen staring at the medicine stove without blinking their eyes. The life-saving medicine that is boiled in it is only used at critical times. How can these ordinary medicinal materials occupy the medicine stove.

What's more, it is a trivial matter for a mother to give birth to a child for an hour or two, and it can only be called dystocia after a day or two.

However, Doctor Li did not dare to say this, the emperor's expression was already ugly enough.

But Li Yuyi didn't expect that he really had the potential of a crow's mouth.Chen Manrou's child was not born in a day.In the early morning of the next day, it was time to go to court, and the voice in the delivery room gradually died down, and the child had not yet been born.

The emperor didn't move, and he didn't have to go to court for these two days.The Empress Dowager Ci'an couldn't stay there anymore, she didn't like Chen Manrou, and Chen Manrou asked all the women in the harem to copy Buddhist scriptures, which reduced the number of times Tang Waner went to bed. .

However, this time she had to come because the queen had a dystocia.She still cares more about the piece of meat in the queen's belly, and she is even more unwilling to spread the words that she doesn't care about her daughter-in-law. The most important thing is that the emperor has already lost a queen. Come out, for the sake of her son's reputation, she has to come and have a look.

It's not that he didn't think about getting rid of the empress and the child in her womb at once, but Tang Wan'er's status is too low now, and it's not Tang Wan'er's turn if the empress dies, so Empress Dowager Ci'an can only come to Yongshou Palace.

"How is the queen?" The emperor asked sharply with red eyes, and Li Chun, who came out with a water basin, hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty can't hold on right now, and I beg the emperor for help!"

Empress Dowager Ci'an hurriedly said: "There is still a hundred-year-old ginseng in Ai's house, hurry up and bring it here for the queen to use."

The emperor also immediately remembered, and immediately turned his head and said: "Liu Cheng, go and get that ginseng from my private treasury."

Liu Cheng didn't ask specifically, and rushed to Qianqing Palace to open a private treasury.Xiao Si rubbed his eyes, wiped off his eyeballs, and looked up at the emperor: "Father, the queen mother will be fine, right? The mother queen must be reluctant to part with me and Xiao Wu, and also the father, so the mother mother will be fine, right? "

The emperor rubbed Xiaosi's head, and nodded vigorously after a long time: "Yes, your mother will definitely miss us, she will be fine!"
