Jia Yao of the Red Chamber

Chapter 62 The eldest princess gave birth to a daughter

Jia Yao's body became heavier and heavier.Since the day Baodai got married, when Jia Yao felt the little guy in her belly move for the first time, Mo Lanchang and Jia Yao, the silly parents, felt the little baby stretching fists and feet in Jia Yao's stomach several times.

These days, Jia Yao has experienced more and more the pain of childbirth, her back hurts unbearably after sitting for a long time during the day, and she is too tired to stand up.This is not bad. When I sleep at night, I can't turn over at all, I just feel pain all over my body.Moreover, when Jia Yao fell asleep, she would wake up suddenly as if falling from a high altitude.Then couldn't fall asleep for a long time.Now that it's winter, Jia Yao is becoming more and more lazy.The old queen mother thought about the cold weather and slippery roads, so she spared her and the eldest princess concubine greetings as early as the beginning of winter.Jia Yao doesn't even go out of the courtyard now. She reads a book and writes a word during the day, and feels tired and flustered when doing anything.So idle, even the appetite is not very good.Sometimes the punctual meals are not eaten properly, and we need to have some snacks when we are free. As a result, we don't have much appetite for the next meal.

Seeing her suffering, Mo Lanzhang just felt distressed. Now that it's cold winter, he has fewer affairs and can spend a lot of time with her.Jia Yao has become more fond of acting like a baby recently, and said that if she can't eat enough, she has to be fed by Mo Lanyan herself, and she also wants Mo Lanyan to read and enlighten their children.The two became more and more gluey, clinging to each other every day, as if they were on their second honeymoon.Occasionally, the fetus responds a little bit, and the two parents who become parents for the first time seem to have gained a lot of benefits, and they can be happy for a while.Mo Lanzhen likes to put his head on Jia Yao's stomach, where there is warmth and pulsating sound, which often brings him a special and soft touch unique to blood.

It's December, it's the end of the year.Now the eldest prince and Mo Lanyan both have titles, and they both left the palace to build a mansion.Concubine Rong and the Fourth Prince looked worried.Concubine Rong couldn't help but couldn't maintain her composure these days, she couldn't stop jumping around to invite favors from the emperor.And because the eldest prince has an heir, he managed to win a little bit over Mo Lanyan, but he didn't expect that the third prince's concubine would quickly pull back that weak advantage with her stomach full of vigor.Now the eldest prince only hopes that his concubine will be a grandson, while Jia Yao will be a girl.He would not dare to do other things. First, he did a stupid thing at the end of last year, which offended the emperor. Second, he knew that although Mo Lanyan looked honest, his abilities were not weak. Yes, if he took his child to attack, maybe he would do something to his own child.After all, even a father would not dare to take risks with his children, and the eldest prince could only blame his power and beg the gods and Buddhas.

With a lot of things to do, Mo Lanchang naturally became busy again.And because he had been working in the official department for half a year, he had to report to his father and emperor a year ago, and report a charter.If it is sorted out, it can be said to be another credit.No matter how much the emperor delays the matter of the prince, he has gotten older in recent years, and he will have to settle this matter next year.To put it bluntly, if something happens one day, and the crown prince has not been established, there will be chaos in the court?

There are many people in the court who have already faintly favored Mo Lanyan, not only because he has the highest title now, but also because the emperor had already taken the Zhen family to the sword last year.Although Xie's family is still used heavily, the matter of Zhen's family must have been firmly established in the emperor's heart.Otherwise, why would the eldest prince be a county king in his name!Of course, the assassination that Mo Lanyan encountered while working in the south of the Yangtze River will be a royal secret forever, and the title of prince and his subsequent errands in the official department have already been compensated.Besides, those ministers and the queen mother and concubines in the palace will never know.They would only think that the third prince went deep into the south of the Yangtze River, did a good job of solving corruption, and won the emperor's eyes. What's more, the emperor started to favor the third prince.

The grand concubine's due date was set at December by the imperial physician, which was originally her regular day.No matter how stupid Concubine Rong is, no matter how indignant she is at the fact that the eldest prince concubine will give birth to No.1 of the third generation of the royal family, she will not do anything.At any rate, she knew that the emperor and the empress dowager above were all staring at this child, even if she did something, the only ones who would be hurt would be her and her Feng'er.On the day that the imperial physician had planned long ago, it was neither too early nor too late, after noon, the eldest prince and concubine started.

The mother-in-law and the imperial doctor had been arranged by the queen mother long ago, and there were also in Mo Lanzhang's mansion, who were waiting to deliver her grandson.Jia Yao's sources of news are also sensitive now, the eldest princess concubine has been activated for two hours, and she also got the letter.Although everyone knows what the inside looks like, the surface should still be complete.After sending people to greet her twice, Jia Yao stopped thinking about it.Of course, she didn't want the first imperial concubine to give birth to her first grandson, but at this time, she couldn't hope that there would be anything wrong with the eldest imperial concubine.She still has one in her stomach, so she can't have any immoral thoughts and hurt her child again.

It can't compare to the anxiety of the old queen in the palace who is confident and trustworthy.Jia Yao spent the afternoon snack steadily, and asked Taoxi to support her increasingly cumbersome body, and went to bed to take a nap.

Perhaps because it was the first child, the first concubine took an extraordinarily long time to give birth.In the evening, Mo Lanchang came back, and the two had dinner together. Mo Lanchang took a children's enlightenment book and read it to Jia Yao's pregnant belly. The news came that there was no one yet. result.Jia Yao wanted to wait, but Mo Lanzhang advised her to go to bed early, "It's a definite number, why wait? Now that you are heavy, you would sleep less these days, don't delay because of this."

Mo Lanyan looked at it plainly, and he definitely couldn't like this child.It's just that such a child won't make him nervous or anything, the left and right are about to be born, so he is really his father's first grandson, at most, he can win some liking, it won't affect the overall situation.Seeing Jia Yao thinking about it now, she also knew it was for him, and felt touched in her heart.Going up to pinch Jia Yao's little nose, "We'll know what's going on when we wake up tomorrow. Let's take a break earlier."

Jia Yao stepped forward to kiss him with great effort, and Mo Lan quickly supported him.He personally helped Jia Yao wash up with a half hug and half hug, and helped her change her pajamas.After everything was settled, Jia Yao was asked to lie on the bed with a straight posture, watching Taoxi take a small quilt and fold it under Jia Yao's waist in two layers, and then covered her with a quilt.Turning around to go out, Jia Yao held him back, "It's so late, I haven't slept yet. Do you still have to work?"

Mo Lanyan lowered her head and rubbed her forehead lightly, "I just went to sort out some business. Do you want me to accompany you? Be good, go to bed first, I'll go to the study for a while, and I'll be right back."

Jia Yao had no choice but to let go and tell him to go.I closed my eyes for a while, but I just couldn't sleep in a daze.For a moment, it seemed that people outside said that the eldest princess concubine had given birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, and for a while, someone came to call her.She said that she was about to give birth, and heard the sound of the baby crying, which seemed to come from afar, and also seemed to come from her own stomach.For a moment, she felt that it was like a dream just now, and she seemed to understand a little bit in her heart, remembering that Mo Lanyan was in the study, and she didn't know what time it was, whether he came back or not.I touched it, but it was empty.

Jia Yao became more conscious, but felt that her body was very heavy and she couldn't get up.She stretched out a hand, and the two paper-patterned apricot branches who had kept her watch at night hurried forward and asked her what she wanted in a soft voice.Jia Yao shook her head, "Help me up, bring me a cup of tea, my mouth is very thirsty."

Two paper-patterned apricot branches came up to help her one by one, and the other went to mix tea with a suitable temperature. It was black tea that warmed the stomach and slept peacefully, and contained some warm and nourishing medicinal materials.It was simmered all night, specially prepared for when Jia Yao was thirsty or hungry in the middle of the night.After taking a few sips, Jia Yao licked her lips that were no longer dry, and asked, "But it's night? How long have I slept?"

Xingzhi pulled the quilt for her, covering her shoulders, "Princess has only been asleep for two minutes, and I don't seem to be very stable, always frowning. But I don't feel well."

Jia Yao stopped talking and leaned on the pillow without feeling sleepy.After staring blankly for a while, Mo Lanzhang came in swaying her arms and legs.He thought Jia Yao was falling asleep and was acting cautiously, but he didn't expect to come in and see his wife leaning on the pillow with her eyes wide open.I couldn't help being taken aback. "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet? Didn't you all lie down when I left?"

Jia Yao raised her hand, acting coquettishly about to hug her.Mo Lanyan's outer robe was still covered with cold air, so she didn't dare to go over immediately.He took off his coat, changed into a warm home coat, and then went to hug Jia Yao, "Even if you can't sleep, I will tell you some news. You have been looking forward to it all day."

Seeing Jia Yao's eyes wide open, Mo Lan smiled, "I also just got the news that the eldest emperor's wife is finally born, she is the eldest granddaughter of the emperor."

Hearing this, Jia Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing, but after thinking about it, she felt unethical.The eldest prince and the eldest concubine definitely want a boy, so maybe they are depressed now!It's like she also wants a boy more, but after thinking about it, she said, "This is also good, let's bloom first and then bear fruit. The boys and girls on the left and right are the No.1 of the father's grandchildren." , so honorable!"

Mo Lanzhang nodded, "That's not it. Boys and girls are fine. It's just that you should go to sleep, so what if you give birth to a baby, in my heart, it can't compare with ours. You sleep less later, call He's not feeling well, but be careful he's making trouble with you!"

Jia Yao only felt that the matter in her heart had been put aside, and that Mo Lanchang had also returned, so she was by her side right now.The drowsy drowsiness came back again.Mo Lanzhang turned around and asked Xingzhi and the others to watch outside, and supported Jia Yao to sleep.Xu was familiar with the temperature by her side, and Jia Yao fell asleep quickly.After a while, the breathing became longer.

Mo Lanyan looked at her tired face, but she was still thinking about the affairs of Chaozhong Palace.

Concubine Rong is now planning to find a good kiss for her precious son.The mother and son were flattering by his side every day, and his always "kind" father also looked more and more pleasing to Mo Lanfeng, and wanted to send him an errand in the Ministry of Rites.Next year, Mo Lanfeng must be getting married anyway, and the news of which Concubine Rong is targeting has not yet been revealed.And the eldest prince has been honest recently because of the child that is about to be born.But I don't know what will happen after giving birth to a daughter.

With Jia Yao's own brother in the household department, it is impossible for the eldest prince to completely control this place.The Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River has collapsed, and there are still a few small families attached to the Xie family, which can't do much.And the first princess gave birth to a girl, and the Xie family who originally wanted to send another girl to the first prince probably became more active.

The disagreement between the eldest branch of the Xie family and the second branch is the root buried by the previous generation.Although these years have been tied together because of family glory, each has its own thoughts.Xie's family also has his people, who were handed over to him by his mother before she passed away. They have been buried next to the eldest wife of the first branch for many years, so they are useful.But it's very hidden.He has never done anything else, and in the past two years, he has only secretly encouraged the eldest wife of the second branch of the Xie family to send her daughter to the eldest prince. "Don't say that the glory is given to their family members."

I just don't know if the eldest prince will accept it.If he doesn't understand this idea, Mo Lanzhang will let the chess piece continue to be buried.It's just more difficult to deal with.It's just that the eldest prince is probably in a hurry now, and it's not impossible to tie the Xie family closer to him.If it is really as he envisioned, then he will wait for the eldest concubine and her younger sister to fight each other, and the first eldest branch of the Xie family and the second second son branch will slowly separate.

After sorting out the general idea here, seeing that Jia Yao was still sleeping soundly, Mo Lanyan finally fell asleep slowly.

Everyone in the palace has not yet fallen asleep, and each has their own concerns.

Now that the emperor has a granddaughter, although she is not as good as a grandson, she is still happy after all.The three daughter-in-laws on the left and right still have one in their stomachs.Doctor Ju said it should be a boy.In fact, the imperial doctor diagnosed the fetus in the belly of the eldest concubine as a boy, but it was still... But the emperor didn't want to think about it, he just thought that he would have a grandson no matter what.He also knew that he was getting old, and now he would see that his third son was okay, and his mind was almost settled, but he could only be relieved when he finally saw his grandson with all beards and tails.

I will soon be able to accompany you, Yuan'er... Through the flickering candlelight, the old emperor seemed to see the person he cherished the most, happily and innocently riding a horse on the endless grassland, far surpassing him, and Urgently reining in the reins, she turned her head and smiled at him, "Brother, why are you so slow!"

Maybe it's really old, I often think of him recently.Sitting on the high throne, the exhausted old emperor sighed heavily, and covered his face with his wrinkled hands.

And the old queen in the deep palace was also tossing and turning.The eldest grandson gave birth to a great-granddaughter, and she should have been disappointed.But there was a faint joy in my heart that couldn't be explained to outsiders.After all, it is the old man who is partial, no matter what, he thinks that the first great-grandson is the son of the third emperor's grandson-in-law.

If... She was thinking in the dark night, if the granddaughter-in-law of the Three Emperors gave her a precious great-grandson, then she would give Mo Lanzhang the concubine Wula Yunrong, the daughter-in-law of the Wula family who is about to reach her age... Things, it's okay to take it slow first.

Having made up her mind, the old lady closed her eyes.She likes Jia Yao, but no matter how much she likes her, she is no more than Wula Yunrong, who has the same surname as herself. She just hopes that Jia Yao won't disappoint her.At that time, for the sake of the great grandson, she will not treat her badly for the time being.

Left and right my body is fairly healthy.When Jia Yao's child is older, she will watch Mo Lanyan marry a girl from the Wula family.I haven't planned anything for the Wula family in my life, so I have to fill in a layer of protection for my mother's family before I go.
