Holding the Piano in the Red Chamber

As soon as this sentence was uttered, the entire imperial garden became quiet, so the next thing Baoqin told the maid was very clear.

"An Jie, you take the two of them to the sixth game, and replace two maids for Concubine Wu. Wen Jing, you go back with Liu Changzai, and tell Rong Xi not to bark before dinner." After finishing speaking, Baoqin rushed Liu Changzai smiled and said, "Either you go back first?"

Although Liu Changzai had never given birth to a child, he had seen life at home. He was lucky for two to three hours, and bad luck for two or three days, so he hummed softly and said, "Sister, be careful on the road." Then he simply turned his head and returned to Qixiang Palace.

The rest of the people were not under her control, so she quickly walked to Yikun Palace with Hui Ting who was waiting at the side.

Liu Guiren is the only one in Yikun Palace, who lives in the back hall, and is lying on the bed waiting to have a baby. The queen mother and queen are sitting in the main room. Seeing her coming in, both of them were happy and hurried Said: "Come and sit down."

Baoqin walked slowly to the Empress Dowager's head, sat down and asked: "How is it? I just saw the imperial doctor in the classroom, but what's the problem?"

"It's nothing." The queen mother waved her hand and said, "Fortunately, I didn't take the oxytocin drug at the beginning, so it's a matter of course."

Baoqin carefully looked at Shulan, seeing that her face was fine, she felt relieved, Shulan is someone who can wield a whip, so she would not be careless about such harmless accusations.

There are five rooms in the apse. The room where Zhenli gave birth is separated from the main room, and there is no loud noise, except for occasional groans. The water that comes out is still clear, which is good.

Not long after, Ruicheng also came over. He was not very busy in the afternoon. After hearing the news, he finished handling the affairs at hand and came over to take a look.But before she even finished her cup of tea, she was chased away by the queen mother, "A woman's family is giving birth to a child, what are you doing here, hurry up and do something important."

Ruicheng didn't object too much, he only said that the queen mother was bothering, and asked the queen again, and said that it was good to hold the hairpin on the head of the piano, and then left again.

However, after one wave was delivered, another wave came. The remaining concubines in the palace, except for two often present, all came.

There were five in total, led by Concubine Wu, and sat down separately after the ceremony.Concubine Wu said: "Empress Dowager, this woman is slow in giving birth, and sister Zhenli only started it in the afternoon, so it's still early. Why don't you go back and have a rest first, I will stay here with the Queen's sister, if there is any movement We'll let you know again."

Baoqin's eyelids twitched. Although what she said fit her identity, why did it sound so harsh?How old is Concubine Wu this year, to say such old-fashioned words, she really blinded her tender face that has just passed the jade years.

Really, the baby fat has not returned yet.

But the queen mother is in front of her, and the queen is also in front of her, so it's better for her to be quiet.

Not only was she hugging the piano, but Shulan's eyelids were also twitching. Although her temper improved a lot after giving birth, everything always came first and then came first. "Concubine Wu, you are still young and have little experience. Sit down and do your best."

Concubine Wu wanted to say something else, but Shulan said again: "Queen Mother, we will stay here at night, who will serve His Majesty? It seems that we should get a few more in the next draft."

After moving out the emperor, Concubine Wu stopped talking.It is better to guard Liu Gui and give birth to a child, or to wait for His Majesty's favor.

Concubine Wu was a little flustered, she was a concubine when she entered the palace, and the emperor loved her, so the next step was to take care of palace affairs.It's not easy to grab something from the queen, but it's not easy to grab it from the concubine.Just like these two court ladies, after taking her money and promising to give their family members an errand, they also obediently do things for her.

If you want to change her maid, there is no such thing as easy to change.

Thinking of this, Concubine Wu smiled triumphantly at Baoqin, and then saluted the queen mother and queen, "In that case, I will take my leave first. The queen mother should take care of her body, and the queen mother should not be tired."

Even today, Baoqin is still not used to this familiar way of greeting, so her eyelids twitched again, but unfortunately, Shulan saw it.

Shulan smiled, and didn't point it out, she said to the remaining concubines: "Okay, you all go too, or His Majesty won't be served at night."

This time I persuaded two more to go away, leaving Yuan Chun and Qing Mei, both of whom were thinking about their children, Yuan Chun said: "The empress dowager is here, how can I leave first, and besides, there are His Majesty's heirs inside, we two also Do your best."

It's not easy to persuade you to say such words, Shulan said: "Find a place to sit by yourself."

With these two people around, it was okay at first, but there are some things that cannot be said.Shulan didn't speak, and she didn't speak much while holding the piano. Within a quarter of an hour, the Queen Mother couldn't sit still. "Baoqin, you and Liangxue come to support me, let's walk around the house, after sitting for so long, my legs are going numb."

"Don't move, I'll give you a pinch." Baoqin squatted in front of the Queen Mother, and pinched the Queen Mother's legs.

Seeing this, Yuan Chun hated and was jealous, especially after squatting down with the qin in his arms, the golden hairpin on his head could be seen more clearly.She is a young lady who came out of the Duke's mansion, and she has bought good things. At first glance, the hairpin is not ordinary, so she just rewarded her... Hmph, Yuan Chun twisted the handkerchief, remembering the scene in the imperial garden, and put it on her handkerchief again. I swallowed.

Baoqin and Liangxue, one on each side, helped the queen mother up, and after walking two steps, the queen mother suddenly sighed: "Ah~ I had been guarding the whole night at the beginning, but now it's only been so long, and I can't sit down before two hours Living."

This is about the birth of the Ninth Prince last time? "Hey, that wasn't very relevant back then, but now that you are His Majesty's heir, you have to worry about it differently."

Liangxue also recalled: "That night, when I think about it..." After saying that, she shook her head.

The three of them sighed almost at the same time, looked at each other and laughed again.

Yuan Chun, who just watched and didn't understand at all, was itchy for a while, and couldn't get in at all.

"Old, old." The Empress Dowager sighed: "Baoqin, you stay here with Shulan, if you have any news, I will go back to the Palace of Compassion and Ning."

Baoqin said yes, and said: "Your Majesty, sleep well, tomorrow morning you will have a fat, white and tender grandson."

The queen mother left with a smile, and she did not forget to take the two obtrusive people away before she left, "Come on, Liu Guiren's room is small, you two send Ai's family back to the Palace of Compassion."

When only Baoqin and Shulan were left in the room, Shulan said: "The baby is not white and tender at all."

Baoqin was choked suddenly, and he didn't recover for a long time.

This side is considered harmonious and loving, but the two who were taken away by the Queen Mother over there were aggrieved and went home. They said it was a gift, but they really didn't say a word or do a thing.As soon as she entered the gate of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager said: "It's also delivered, you two go back to the palace, don't come out at night if you have nothing to do."

I'm almost crying, okay? The queen mother called herself me in front of Baoqin, but in front of them it was Aijia, who didn't even show a smile.It won't work if you turn back again. Didn't you hear the Queen Mother say that it's okay not to come out.

But to lose face in front of the Queen Mother is to seek death, Qingmei and Yuan Chun saluted the Queen Mother, and said in a low voice: "What the Queen Mother said is true."

Speaking of Qingmei, the Queen Mother had a good impression at first, she was gentle and gentle, but she didn't like her weakness and tears. Later, Ruicheng became the emperor, and she recovered without any medicine.What does this mean? It was pretended before.People's mentality is very strange. If you are still a concubine, or a concubine, the queen mother may not be so straightforward, maybe she can understand the difficulty of living in the harem, but now she is the queen mother, and she is the biggest in the palace. Qingmei's favorability dropped again.

In addition to Qingmei and Yuanchun's progress, who is Yuanchun?

Hasn't she done anything good since she entered the palace? She showed courtesy to the late prince. If it wasn't for the decree of the late emperor, the queen mother would not let her go to Ruicheng's backyard anyway. Later, Ruicheng vaguely mentioned a few Moth, the Rongguo Mansion where Yuanchun is located seems to be on the list, to be able to get along with such a person, Qingmei must not be so good.

The Empress Dowager washed her hands, took another two sips of ginseng tea, and said: "Go and tell them not to drink soup for two nights, and be careful that they will have swollen faces and legs tomorrow morning."

In Yikun Palace, Liu Guiren's voice was getting louder and louder, and people panicked when he heard it, and the mother came out to report: "My noble master is getting old, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to live." Hugging the piano couldn't help but feel a little nervous .

But Shulan smiled when she saw her appearance, and comforted her: "People in the palace always reply like this, especially women who give birth, three points are dangerous, and you can't wait to talk about seven points, so you have to prepare in your heart first, and then you will have a baby." Don't blame them too much."

Holding the piano a little more stable, thinking that this is indeed the reason, Zhenli is 27 or [-] this year, and she is still at the peak of her physical strength, so she must be able to give birth.

As Zhenli's voice changed from high to low, the water that came out also changed from clear water to pink bloody water, which officially started giving birth.

The two sat for one afternoon and one night, already half sleepy and nodding their heads to sleep.Holding the piano in a daze, he was suddenly awakened by Zhenli's high-pitched cry. Just as he sat up from the chair, the nurse came out beaming and said, "Report to Madam, the young master gave birth to a big fat boy, both mother and child are well."

Shulan was shocked and asked, "What time is it?"

"Three quarters of Yin Shi."

"Well, it's almost time to get up." Shulan ordered for a while, "Go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to find Xiao Hongzi, and tell him that Liu Gui gave birth to a son; when the delivery room is finished, ask the imperial doctor to come over and prescribe medicine. Baoqin, you Follow me to report to the Empress Dowager’s palace.”

After five o'clock in the morning, the sun rose from the horizon, and there was still a bit of chill in the air.Baoqin walked beside Shulan, looked at the sun who only showed half of his face, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "It's finally over."

Shulan turned her head to look at her very puzzled, such a beautiful scene, why did she just say this after holding back for so long?

Baoqin looked a little embarrassed, and said sternly: "Let's hurry up, I haven't slept all night, I'm sleepy."

Arriving at the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager just woke up, the same as the previous waking time, she was not at all affected by Liu Guiren and her child who was still in her womb, but after hearing the news from Shulan, the Empress Dowager still grinned .

"Reward!" For people who are not very relevant, the queen mother only needs to say this sentence, as for the reward, it is the eldest maid in her palace who should worry about it.

After asking about the health of the second prince and Liu Guiren, the queen mother suddenly said to Shulan seriously: "Liu Guiren is not qualified enough, I plan to take this child in and raise him, don't tell me about it, wait until she is better, and the child will be born in a hundred days." I'll talk about it later."

Shulan nodded, the queen mother looked at Baoqin again, Baoqin couldn't hold back and yawned, the solemn and serious atmosphere was destroyed at once, the queen mother herself was also happy, and said: "Okay, I know you won't say Go out, go back to sleep."

Baoqin was confused when she came out of the Empress Dowager's Palace. If it weren't for the two maids pulling her, she would have walked to the wall.When she returned to Qixiang Palace, even her face was wiped by others, she fell asleep directly on the bed.

I slept until the afternoon before waking up, only to hear the noise outside and the appearance of many people.Rong Xi stood on the side, said: "Your Majesty, Liu Changzai in the back hall is pregnant..."

This is a good thing, holding the piano to see Rong Xi's face is not very good-looking and said: "Why, the fetus is not good?"

Rong Xi shook his head, and said: "Liu Changzai said that she would move out, and Concubine Wu was also there, and said that she would take her back to the Empress Dowager."

This time I didn't twitch my eyelids anymore, and my head hurts from twitching.Hugging the piano and throwing off the quilt, she sat up, "Call for water to wash up, I'll go out and have a look."

The palace lady brought water, and a nanny came up to comb her hair, while Rong Xi stood aside and continued: "Please take a pulse this morning, the imperial doctor came out, I think the young master is still asleep, and it will be the same in the afternoon. But the news spread quickly, the Empress Wu came here at noon, I don't know what they said, in the afternoon Liu Changzai said that she would move out..."

This is really a bolt from the blue, Baoqin asked himself that he hadn't done anything to provoke Liu Changzai, and he didn't let anyone come to pay his respects every day, it was just that he took her out a little late, so it wouldn't mean that he would move out?The problem was still with the kid.

What did Concubine Wu tell her again?

It is a big deal to move to the palace, and Liu Changzai is pregnant again.Baoqin carefully recalled Liu Chang's actions in the past two or three months after entering the palace, but he still couldn't see anything.

You must know that Liu Changzai has faintly engraved the word "holding the piano" on his body since the draft. This is obviously a treasonous behavior that is not something she can do, and it is not good for her.

The Empress Dowager and Shulan wouldn't show her face because of this, she spent at least three out of five days in the Empress Dowager's palace, and she couldn't find anything wrong with serving the Empress Dowager, and Shulan, their friendship started from Shulan's bosom It started with the eldest prince, and he wouldn't fall out because of a person who only saw him two or three times a month.

What about the emperor?It is even more impossible. To put it bluntly, pinning hope on a man who can get all the women in the world is an act of seeking death, not to mention that the emperor is not a person who is nostalgic for the harem.

The more Baoqin thought about it, the more strange it became.

The nanny was still combing her hair, An Jie came in again, she was overjoyed when she saw Baoqin woke up, and said: "Young master is finally awake, if you don't wake up, Liu Changzai will follow Concubine Wu to the Palace of Compassion."

After hearing this, the movement of holding the piano slowed down. She stretched out her hand to block the maid who was about to apply powder on her face. She personally selected white fine powder and wiped it on the place that should have been shadowed, creating the illusion of a swollen face. He loosened up his combed hair a little while ago.

Hold down the two maids until the noisy voice outside the palace fades away, and then said: "You two follow me to the Palace of Compassion."
