Harem for a living

Chapter 84

Empress Dowager Ci'an's birthday banquet was quite grand, and I don't know if the emperor deliberately stood up for his own mother and wanted to overwhelm Empress Dowager Ci'an, so the birthday banquet was very grand, and the toss began early in the morning.

Before, Chen Manrou decisively handed over the palace affairs, so Concubine De led Concubine Liu and Concubine Han Wanyi to host the entire birthday banquet, and occasionally the Queen would give her ideas.Empress Dowager Ci'an and Empress Dowager Ci Ning originally wanted to take advantage of Chen Manrou's resignation to draw some power to them, but unfortunately the empress acted too fast, and arranged for Concubine Liu and Han Wanyi to go there that day.

However, these two have no decision-making power. They have to ask the queen first about the matters they want to manage, which is equivalent to the two secretaries arranged by the queen.

Fortunately, for the entire birthday banquet, the queen and Chen Manrou just needed to sit, and they only had to toss and turn to salute twice, so it wasn't particularly tiring.Although the Empress Dowager Ci Ning was unwilling, she did not find any reason to object. After all, this was the first time that the Empress Dowager had given her a full birthday after leaving the country. Who made her birthday not so coincidental?

After the Empress Dowager Ci'an's birthday in September, the Wanshou Festival in October will follow.

Chen Manrou got up early in the morning, had breakfast first, and then began to look for clothes and dress up. From noon to night, she had to spend time in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. She had to prepare in advance.

"Mother, it's not good." When Chen Manrou was considering which pink or blue one would look better, Cup Ting suddenly came in panting, with a depressed and dissatisfied expression on his face: "There is news from Ci'an Palace, saying It was Concubine Hu who started it."

"Now?" Chen Manrou was shocked: "Isn't it just over seven months?"

"It was said that Concubine Hu wanted to present the birthday gift to the emperor in person, and then she got out of bed and walked around, and then her fetus moved." Bei Ting quickly explained, and the corners of Chen Manrou's mouth twitched. She is in poor health, and she is probably going to be born prematurely, but unexpectedly, just getting out of bed and walking around can directly move the fetal gas.

"Have the emperor and queen gone?" Chen Manrou asked with a frown, her cup stopped and she nodded: "The emperor has ordered that no banquet will be prepared at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and we will prepare it in the evening. Madam, after all, Concubine Hu is in Ci'an Palace Those who live nearby, no matter whether the emperor and empress go or not, we have to go there."

"Clean up, let's go there now." Chen Manrou dropped the pink dress in her hand, and asked Xiangyue to help her change into the blue one. The weather was already a bit cold, so she added another sleeveless skirt. A, only then went out the door holding the hands of Xiangyue and Jinhuan.

The emperor and empress sat on the left, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an sat on the right. Empress Dowager Ci Ning did not come.In fact, if it wasn't for the presence of Empress Dowager Ci'an, the emperor would not have come here.

"Mother, Concubine Hu is giving birth to a baby for the first time, and it probably won't take long. You are getting old, why don't you go back and rest? When Concubine Hu's child is born, will I have someone tell you?" The queen said very gently and caringly, and the emperor nodded accordingly: "Mother, Concubine Hu is a little concubine, how can you be here to guard it yourself? It is enough to have a queen here."

"The emperor has a lot of things to do in the previous court, so let's go back and get busy. Ai's family has nothing else to do in the palace. Waiting here is just a waste of time. Besides, the queen is inconvenient. It is best not to approach the delivery room. , the queen will go back later."

Even if the Empress Dowager Ci'an wanted to fight for the imperial power, it was because she had been bullied by Ci Ning for decades, and then she turned around and wanted to show off.In her heart, she still valued the queen more, and more valued the child in the queen's womb.

That child is not only the queen's child, but also her direct grandson, her son's direct son, no matter what she doesn't want her direct grandson to have an accident.What's more, even if you came here, you will save face.Therefore, without waiting for the empress to express, she directly ordered: "Hurry up and help your master and empress go back to rest, she doesn't need to take care of here."

"The queen mother is considerate, and I am very grateful. However, I can't be proud of being favored." The queen smiled gently, even if she wanted to leave, she would have to wait here for an hour or two.She will never fall into the trap of others. It is the Queen's duty to take good care of the concubine.

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden scream in the room. Concubine Hu had already started, and the maids and nurses in the courtyard were also busy.The screams were endless, Chen Manrou's face turned pale, after a while, she stretched out her hand and squeezed Duyue's hand, then rolled her eyelids, leaned back on the chair and did not move.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, Your Majesty?" Dui Yue was very kind, and immediately shouted anxiously. The eyes of the Empress Dowager Ci'an and the Empress all focused on Chen Manrou. Seeing a baby once, right?"

"Going back to Empress Dowager, this is indeed the first time our empress has seen such a thing, and she is still pregnant with a child..." Said to Yue Yue with red eyes, Empress Dowager Ci'an frowned: "Then hurry up and help Concubine Hui Go back? Don’t scare Concubine Hui.”

Generally, women would not allow minors to be present when they gave birth, especially girls, for fear that it would cast a psychological shadow on them, and then they would have a difficult delivery when they gave birth by themselves.

So the queen mother is also worried, that is also a grandson, how can there be an accident?
The Empress Dowager spoke, and Concubine Hui also fainted, the Empress nodded quickly and said, "You guys, send Concubine Hui back quickly."

"Thank you, empress." Dui Yuehe and Jinhuan immediately saluted the queen, then helped Chen Manrou up, and two nuns came over, one raised his legs, the other raised his shoulders, Cup Tinghe and Wei Le supported him on both sides, for fear of Chen Manrou drop down.

After noisily helping Chen Manrou onto the sedan chair, she told Yue Yue: "Lift slowly, don't panic, don't bump your mother, and walk more steadily!"

"Concubine Hui's girl is sensible." The queen mother said something behind, and the emperor coughed lightly: "Queen mother, I still have some things to deal with, so I will go back first, and you don't have to stay here all the time, Concubine Hu. , go back and rest later."

"National affairs are important, the emperor hastened to go. The Ai family knew what to do, and will be back in a while." The Empress Dowager Ci'an waved her hand, and the emperor saluted and left.

Chen Manrou didn't open her eyes until Zhong Cuigong, and quickly brought her a glass of warm water to Yue: "Your Majesty, you scared the slaves to death just now. Are you okay now? How is your stomach? Do you want to call an imperial doctor?" ?”

"If you faint, you have to go through the whole process. You will go to the Tai Hospital later. If someone stays in the Tai Hospital, please invite them over. If not, you don't need to invite them." Chen Manrou took a sip of water, Suppress the fear in my heart.

In this day and age, there is not even a caesarean section, and you have to give birth by yourself. If there is a dystocia or something, your life will be lost.After thinking about it for a while, being afraid for a while, seeing the fright on Yue Yue's face, he immediately guessed the reason.

First sent Xiao Dingzi to ask for the imperial doctor, and then came back to comfort Chen Manrou: "Madam, Concubine Hu's situation is quite special. She was weak at first, but she fell into the water and broke her body. It's difficult to give birth, your mother is in such good health, you have been exercising in our Zhongcui Palace before, and you haven't even had a cough or cold all year round, and there is no one in the palace who is in better health than you."

"Besides, don't you believe in the medical skills of the slave girl? I have studied gynecology for many years before, and even the master of the slave girl said that the slave girl is better than the blue. When the time comes, the slave girl will definitely make you smooth Profitably produced."

Speaking to Yue, Chen Manrou's face finally calmed down.That's right, I'm in good health, and I'm helping Yue, so how could it be difficult to give birth?Besides, there are not a few people who are difficult to give birth to children.The people in Tai Hospital don't eat dry food. It is definitely not good for the emperor to die in the palace right now.

After thinking it through, Chen Manrou felt a little hungry. Since entering October, she was always hungry easily, and she didn't know if the child in her stomach was too hungry.Turning to look at the moon: "I'm hungry, I want to eat chicken oil rolls."

I was choked on what Yue was about to say, and it took me a long time to react: "Ah, okay, I will do it for you." As he spoke, he shouted: "Don't leave your mother, I'll go to the kitchen .”

As for Manager Ming's place, I have already told him not to open the door no matter who comes.

It's not long before lunch time, and I haven't done much with Yue, and I have to prepare lunch, but I can't miss lunch because of snacks.

I don't know if Chen Manrou is lucky, it's been three months, she doesn't have any symptoms of morning sickness, she eats deliciously, sleeps well, her condition is very good, even Mrs. Chen who came to visit the palace Sigh, Chen Manrou is really blessed, the child in her belly must be filial.

"Didn't you ask the imperial doctor for pleasure?" After eating, Chen Manrou was about to take a nap when she suddenly remembered this question.Yuyue was also taken aback for a moment, then frowned, it's been almost an hour, and the Tai Hospital hasn't been moved outside the palace, why Le has not come back yet?

"Xiao Xizi, Xiao Lezi, you two go and look for it." Chen Manrou ordered, and after the two of them agreed, they left Zhongcui Palace.Chen Manrou wasn't in the mood to take a nap anymore, no matter whether she was taking a nap because she was delayed by the above affairs or just got lost, it was a big deal.

Unexpectedly, after waiting anxiously for half an hour, Chen Manrou was about to send Xiao Dingzi and Xiao Chengzi out to inquire about the news, when Wei Le, Xiao Xizi and Xiao Lezi came back, all three of them were panic-stricken.

"What, did you get into trouble?" Chen Manrou stood up abruptly and asked, and Yuehe Jinhuan hurriedly supported her: "Mother, be careful, you have a little prince in your belly.",

Chen Manrou waved her hand, looking amused: "What happened?"

"Your Majesty, it's not us who caused trouble, but something happened to the Empress Dowager." Wei Le hurriedly said, "You don't know, but I scared the servant to death. Didn't the servant go to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial doctor just now? When I arrived at the imperial hospital, I found that there was still There are two or three imperial physicians, but none of them are particularly outstanding."

The imperial physicians with the best medical skills in Tai Hospital are Li Yuyi, Cheng Yuyi, and Wang Yuyi. Li Yuyi is good at gynecology, Cheng Yuyi is good at miscellaneous diseases, and Wang Yuyi is good at pediatrics.Of course, these three are not the top ones. The top imperial physicians Song and He are the emperor's exclusive imperial physicians.

If you go to Weile, you will definitely not be able to invite Song Yuyi and He Yuyi, and the best three are not there, so you can only pick two imperial doctors at will.
