On the Self-cultivation of the Concubine

The grass grows and the warblers fly, everything recovers, the weather in Kyoto becomes warmer, and the catkins begin to fly.

Xie Xuan sent the guards of Xie's family to guard the gate of Chenshen Palace, ordered people to tidy up the house, and then sat in the hall to receive Princess Ding.

After a conversation that seemed to be warm and tender but actually turbulent, Concubine Ding said her intentions, "This is the most experienced midwife nanny invited from Huaijing City, hoping to assist the nanny in the palace to help Concubine Yue give birth smoothly. "

Xie Xuanzhao held the tea cup, drank tea slowly with downcast eyes, and did not express his opinion. Princess Ding gave the maid beside her a wink, and the maid hurriedly brought in the midwife who was waiting in the outer corridor.

The nanny was a bit old, but fortunately her legs and feet were still strong, and she still held a small bundle in her arm.

Princess Ding saw that she was standing there, looking around, without saluting, and quickly reminded her, "Mother Jiang, this is the Empress Dowager, hurry up and say hello."

The nanny seemed taken aback, "The empress dowager is so young!"

Princess Ding's eyes became impatient, she turned to Xie Xuanzhao and said, "This nanny is from the common people, and she doesn't know etiquette, please forgive me."

Xie Xuanzhao put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the old lady in front of him, his eyes were indifferent, but his heart was actually turbulent.

Princess Ding looked at Xie Xuanzhao's uncertain face, fearing that she would refuse in person, and said: "Madam, this is also for the sake of the new king, and all civil and military officials are watching. Palace, for all to see."

Xie Xuanzhao gently put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at her with a half-smile, "Are you threatening me?"

"How dare I be a concubine." Princess Ding quickly lowered her head, showing a look of sincerity and fear, "This is for your consideration."

"If that's the case, just stay. If you don't worry, you can leave another maid to serve the nanny, so as not to say that this nanny was bought by Chenshen Palace." Xie Xuanzhao stood up, without waiting for Princess Ding to respond, " Alright, let’s do this, you can step back.”

Concubine Ding was treated carelessly, although she was annoyed in her heart, but her goal had been achieved, so she no longer cared about it, and she really left one of her confidant maids before she left.

Xie Xuanzhao entered the back room, walked around the screen, and saw Liu Qinglan still sitting beside the waterside basking in the sun, feeling at ease, then looked at Yan Mo who was standing aside, "The midwife sent by Princess Ding is already waiting outside, you Go entertain me."

Yan Mo didn't have the slightest precaution, she saluted in response.

"This place is really nice, your master will live here from now on?" A familiar and startling voice.

"If there are no accidents, it should be like this." Lulu's voice was considered.

"Where's Miss Yanmo?" asked a question full of eagerness and anticipation.

"I'll wait in the back. I'm afraid I can't come over." Lulu's reserved and guarded voice.

"That's fine, I'll go over and have a look, and take a look at my 'beautiful daughter' by the way."

"Madam, you can't..."

After Lulu saw Yan Mo coming out from behind the screen, she stamped her feet, looked at her helplessly for help: Concubine Yue's magical old mother is here again!

Yan Mo's heart was powerless to support her forehead, but she still kept a smile on her face, "Old lady, why did you enter the palace?"

"Haha, Miss Yanmo, long time no see." Jiang Wenwen, who had just slept for a whole winter and finally came out of hibernation not long ago, walked over vigorously, with the small bundle on her arm crumbling.

Yan Mo had no choice but to reach out to support her, and help her back to her position by the way.Then I found out that I hadn't seen her for a few months. This amazing old lady seemed to be much younger, and she didn't even walk tremblingly.

Jiang Wenwen reached out and hammered her leg, and said with a smile, "I'm here to be a midwife."

"..." Yanmo and Lulu looked at each other, although there were many doubts in their hearts, the worries they had been worrying about these days were easily resolved.

Willow branches brushing the water by the lake, Liu Qinglan reclined on the rocking chair, only to hear a familiar voice, "Let me take a look."

She sat up quickly, and standing in front of her was the snake that she hadn't seen for a long time. She looked surprised, "Have you finished your hibernation?"

Jiang Wenwen helped her to sit back, and looked at her with a smile, "In just such a short time, you are going to be a mother. It's unimaginable."

Liu Qinglan stroked her abdomen tenderly, with a little pride on her face, "This is the doll of me and Sister Beauty."

"Understood." Jiang Wenwen looked at her amusedly, "After the birth, I'll see if it's Xiao Feifei or a baby."

This question did not keep them waiting for long.

One morning when the peach blossoms were blooming all over the branches, Liu Qinglan grabbed Xie Xuanzhao who was about to go out, and the animal's natural sensitivity told her that she was going to give birth today.

Xie Xuanzhao hurriedly stayed by her side, and ordered Yanmo and Lulu to prepare hot water and handkerchiefs, while the two midwives came over.

Xie Xuanzhao said: "It's good for Madam Jiang to stay, Nanny Gao, you go to the porch and wait first."

This high nanny is the wet nurse of Xie's family, who has also delivered many children of Xie's daughter-in-law. She is loyal and obeys Xie Xuanzhao's orders immediately.

Jiang Wenwen stood aside, looking at Little Fairy Liu lying on the bed, "Fei Fei gave birth in March and April, and you are going to give birth so soon, so it can be seen that there is little Fei Fei in your stomach. Otherwise, you will become a real baby." Bar."

Xie Xuanzhao held Liu Qinglan's hand tightly, and kept wiping off the cold sweat on her forehead with a silk handkerchief.

Liu Qinglan tried her best to show a smile, "I have a feeling that the baby is going to come out of this belly."

"?" Jiang Wenwen felt incredible, "Really?"

Liu Qinglan nodded seriously.

Jiang Wenwen immediately looked at Xie Xuanzhao, "Empress, can you deliver babies?"

Xie Xuanzhao's forehead was also covered with sweat, and he held hands with Liu Qinglan, "I have never delivered a baby."

"It's okay, you just do as I tell you, now you lift Xiao Liu's skirt first."

Xie Xuanzhao took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and followed Jiang Wenwen's instructions step by step.

"Don't worry, ma'am, this is Xiaoliu's first child. It is healthy and young, and it is nourished by demon power and spiritual power in its body. This child will definitely be born smoothly." Jiang Wenwen wrung out the towel soaked in hot water, and then gave birth to Liu Qinglan wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

As she said, the process was very smooth, and there was no stalemate for a long time. When Yan Mo and Lu Lu brought the second pot of hot water, the baby was already crying on the bed.

"It was born." Yanmo and Lulu shook hands excitedly, stood at the door and smiled at each other.

Xie Xuanzhao picked up the newborn baby with sweat profusely, and put it into the swaddling clothes prepared in advance under Jiang Wenwen's guidance.

This child was supposed to be born in four months, and was nourished by the demon power in Liu Qinglan's body, so he was born along with his siblings. The baby in the swaddling baby was small, and it cried loudly with its eyes closed, but its voice was quite loud.

Jiang Wenwen said: "Empress, this is a fusion of your flesh and blood, so like you, a woman's yin energy is integrated, so it must be a baby girl."

Xie Xuanzhao also had a premonition in his heart that the marriage of this woman would also give birth to a girl.She put the little baby beside Liu Qinglan, "She is our new king, there is no doubt about it."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and said to Yanmo: "You spread the news, Concubine Yue gave birth smoothly, and the new monarch is born. From now on, the empress will be established."

Yan Mo's face became serious, and she bowed in response.

After they all retreated, Xie Xuanzhao just sat beside the weak Little Fairy Liu and held her hand, "Qinglan, thank you for your hard work. Look, this is our little doll."

Liu Qinglan raised her watery eyes, glanced at the baby who was still closed, and smiled softly. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt pain in her abdomen. She held Xie Xuanzhao's fingers, "It seems that there are still It didn't come out."

Xie Xuanzhao hurriedly handed over the baby to Jiang Wenwen to take care of, and then went to check it out later, the little beauty on the bed gradually changed into its original shape.

Liu Qinglan's cat paws grabbed the pillow and said, "It changed by itself, I can't control it."

"That is to give birth to a cub, which is fused with your flesh and blood, just like yours." Jiang Wenwen stood beside him and explained, "When the little Filipinos come out, don't change back to your original shape, or You have to lick their fur so that they can be smooth and beautiful when they grow up."

Liu Qinglan was unable to support her forehead, "Understood, let's talk about it after you come out!"

Xie Xuanzhao had already climbed onto the bed, knelt in the middle of the quilt, and followed Jiang Wenwen's instructions to start a new round of delivery.

I don't know why, delivering the baby this time is much more joyful than before. Xie Xuanzhao watched the little snow-white milk beasts come out one by one, the deeper the smile in his eyes, the brighter his eyes.

Liu Qinglan curled up, watching the beauty queen put the little snow balls into her arms, she counted them, there were three little ones in total.

Xie Xuanzhao rolled her sleeves, her hair was disheveled, her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and her hands were still stained with blood, but she didn't want to go anywhere, and she was not in a hurry to tidy herself up. Instead, she looked down at the little snow-white beasts on the quilt, and couldn't put it down.

"Qinglan, quickly lick their fur." ​​Xie Xuanzhao suggested while wiping with a towel.

Liu Qinglan followed her advice and licked all her cubs.

Xie Xuanzhao looked at the litter of little pups tenderly, and finally just caged them in his palace skirt, watching them sleep obediently on his body.

At this time, the little baby girl had been cleaned and put into swaddling clothes again. Jiang Wenwen walked over with her in his arms and put her into the empress's arms as well.

So Xie Xuanzhao sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the little doll in both hands, and three little snow balls lay on the spread out palace skirt.

Looking at this warm and loving scene, Liu Qinglan felt a lot less tired from giving birth.

"Mother and daughter are safe, and the next step is to take care of them." Jiang Wenwen said with a smile beside him, "I don't seem to have anything to do here, so I'll go out and explain to Princess Ding and the others first."

Xie Xuanzhao quickly thanked her, and invited her to come back later, and even live here for a long time.

Jiang Wenwen was naturally very happy, because it meant that he could see Miss Yanmo often.

After a lot of tossing, Xie Xuanzhao had to go to the front hall to give an explanation to the officials even if he was reluctant to give up.

So she raised the baby with Liu Qinglan in Chenshen Palace for three days. After the little empress finally opened her eyes, she carried this daughter with phoenix eyes that resembled hers to the front hall.

When the ministers heard that a queen was going to be installed, they were all horrified and felt that they could never agree.

Xie Xuanzhao stood above, and said: "This is a close relative of the royal family. If she is raised as an emperor since she was a child, I believe she will become a wise emperor, and she will not be worse than the little prince."

"Throughout the ages, there have been very few queens, which is really shocking."

"This is also a special situation, and we have to do it as a last resort. Besides, it is not without precedent. There have been empress dowagers in this dynasty. Why can't it work here?"

While discussing, the little baby in Xie Xuanzhao's arms suddenly woke up and began to cry loudly.

The officials stopped discussing for a while, looking at the newborn, Xie Xuanzhao walked down step by step with her in his arms, and finally stood still, allowing the officials to see clearly the appearance of the baby girl.

"These eyes..."

"She actually inherited her grandmother's eyes."

Xie Xuanzhao smiled slightly. The emperor's mother and his aunt were also daughters of the Xie family, but not every daughter of the Xie family was lucky enough to have these beautiful phoenix eyes.Therefore, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and people have rumored that the daughter of the Xie family has phoenix eyes, which means that she has the unspeakable wealth and fate of the phoenix, and is inseparable from the most noble family relationship in the world.

Xie Xuanzhao said: "This is God's will. This little princess is blessed with good luck, wealth and auspiciousness. She is born with a destiny. It is better for you ministers not to change it rashly."

After some discussions, the officials finally accepted this reality, and the dynasty ushered in the first queen.
