[Qing Chuan] Have a meal in the harem

Yongshou Palace.

"Your Majesty, the thread needs to be stretched even tighter..."

The aunt in brown clothes guided her hand in hand, Yi Min followed the other party's instructions with a focused expression, and Qing Mei stood aside without daring to breathe.

"Your Majesty," suddenly a little palace maid came in to report, "Your Majesty Zhang has come to greet you."

When she was distracted, she shook her hand, and the half-wrapped petals fell to her knees, and the silk thread was also scattered.

Everyone "..."

Keep an eye on the nose, nose and heart, and don't look at the expression of the master who has failed more than a dozen times.

"Hey." Looking at her, and then at the pile of failed products beside her, Zhuo Yuan sighed.

Yimin: "..."

Her face was flushed, and Yi Min wanted to say something to make up for it, but found that she had used all the reasons she could find before, her neck, which had been stuck for a long time, finally slumped.

Picking up the handkerchief and wiping the sweat off her forehead, Zhuo Yuan comforted: "Forget it, I didn't ask you to do it yourself, just like last time, draw a good shape, and then let the next one do it That’s it, what to do to embarrass yourself like this.”

Pushing the thread material in front of her to the side, Yimin said depressedly: "I want to give you a surprise birthday gift, who knows..."

Who would have thought that you would suddenly come to Yongshou Palace today, return the stolen goods and get caught, and who would have thought that she still overestimated her hands-on ability...

He waved his hand to make people remove all the things, adjusted his mood, and then said: "Please invite Zhang Guiren in, be careful."

Zhang Guiren, with a big belly, walked in slowly with the help of the maid, and was about to salute when he saw Concubine Wen and the imperial concubine, but was excused by Yimin.

She looked at the other person's huge belly in awe, pointed to a chair with a thick layer of cushions and said with a smile: "You are pregnant, so you don't need to be polite, just sit down."

Zhang Guiren sat down and said with a smile: "Your Majesty looks more energetic today."

Everyone thought to themselves, they got angry just now, can they not be energetic?

Seeing that Zhang Guiren set his eyes on the noble concubine sitting next to Concubine Wen, he said with [-]% respect: "Originally, as soon as I found out that the noble concubine was here, I should have come to see her right away, but the concubine is heavy and took some time to go out. , I just came here slowly, please don't take offense, Madam."

I don’t know if it’s because she’s been pregnant for three years, or Zhang Guiren is a bit flustered after being pregnant. As soon as this remark came out, it not only cheated Su Ying, who lived in the Yongshou Palace, but also showed off her belly, and surpassed Concubine Wen to praise the noble concubine. mean.

Zhuo Yuan raised his eyelids and glanced at her, before saying after a long while: "Is there anything strange about this palace, this palace is here to visit Concubine Wen, not you, what's wrong? Is it possible that Mrs. Zhang doesn't know?"

As a noble concubine, even if the other party is pregnant with a dragon fetus, Zhuo Yuan should do what she wants, she looks away, "On this point, Mrs. Zhang should really learn from Su Xu, it's better if she doesn't come out to annoy her! "

The smile froze on his face, Zhang Guiren held his breath in his throat, wanted to cover his chest but didn't dare to provoke the imperial concubine, his face turned red from holding back.

The due date is just a few days away, and she has been working hard for seven months. Yimin was also afraid that something might go wrong, so she smoothed things over and said: "You only have these few days, pay attention to yourself, please be safe, and I will spare it all. This child feels distressed." Er Niang, with the current weather, confinement is not uncomfortable."

Someone started talking, Zhang Guiren didn't dare to argue with the imperial concubine, so he hurriedly walked down the slope and smiled meekly, "Thank you for your kindness, my concubine will definitely give birth to this child well."

Looking at the faces of the two of them again, he lowered his head and said in a soft voice: "Since the two empresses still have something to discuss, I will not bother you any more, and I will go back to the house first."

After she went out, Zhuo Yuan frowned, "Didn't Amin excuse me before?"

Yi Min Yuzu, "I didn't just ask her to greet her, I never asked her to greet her in the first place!"

Zhuo Yuan narrowed his eyes, "Is she like this these days?"

Yi Min nodded, she said helplessly: "This month she has been like this! Every day at noon to say hello, she won't listen to any persuasion."

Her legs are on her own body, and she has a big belly, so it's not easy for people to stop her. She keeps expressing her respect for Concubine Wen, and she feels uneasy if she is not allowed to ask for peace. Yimin is very upset. Those who didn't know thought she was intentionally torturing pregnant women!

Now it is February, after the empress refused to pay her respects, Yi Min only asked the little eunuchs below to sweep the snow once a day, because she was afraid that they would catch cold and get sick.

But Zhang Guiren can only clear a path for her in this way, and find someone to watch, so as not to fall on the ice and snow. As far as Yimin knows, there are two little maids who got cold when sweeping the snow , was very ill for two days!

For this reason, Yimin also specially asked the small kitchen to cook ginger soup, so that the maids and eunuchs of Yongshou Palace could drink two bowls every day. After all, the palace maids and eunuchs could not invite the imperial doctor, and when they got sick, they could only boil some medicine by themselves. .

Seeing her like this, Zhuo Yuan snorted coldly: "She thinks quite far."

Yi Min sighed and said: "So I didn't bother with her too much, she was just afraid that I would adopt her child, but it's not that I said I wouldn't hold her if I didn't hold her, it's the palace rules!"

In the Qing Palace, concubines below the rank of concubine could not raise their children by themselves, they had to be raised by the master. It was fine to have concubines in the palace before, but now that there is a master empress, they naturally have to follow the palace rules.

Moreover, if the princess is better, she can be raised in the concubine's palace, but if she gives birth to an elder brother, she will be born in the hands of a woman. Only once every ten days.

Even the fourth elder brother born to Concubine Rong and the fifth elder brother born to Concubine Hui were carried to the South Third Institute early in the morning, even Cheng Hu, the first son who died young, was no exception.

Yimin felt both sympathy and upset for Zhang Guiren, and Tong Zhuo Yuan complained in a low voice: "I don't want to raise her child either, it makes me look like a villain who robs her child."

"I've already made up my mind. If it's Elder Brother, forget it. If it's Ge Ge, then I'll open a room in Dongbei Hall with a wet nurse. If Zhang Guiren wants to go and watch, I won't stop..."

She smiled wryly, "I also told Zhang Guiren that she looked more relaxed, but she was still worried. She wanted to serve me every day. I also asked the imperial physician before, and the imperial physician said that she thought too much during pregnancy and was not good for the child." Well, I can't comfort her, so I'll let her go." Anyway, if I have something to do, I won't think about it.

Zhang Guiren runs to her place every day, but what's the use of that?She has done everything she can, and the palace rules are not something she can change!

Zhuo Yuan held her hand, "The original Da Gege was raised under Zhang Guiren's knees. At that time, Concubine Tong was also a concubine concubine in name, and there was no official position in Chuxiu Palace, so naturally there was no matter of adopting her. There is a gap."

Yimin also understands this truth, "She was not like this before she was pregnant, after all, she still has a heart for Er Niang. I think she will give birth in a few days, and I don't want to mess with her."

It's been about half a month at most, and it passed after gritting my teeth.

"Are the midwives, imperial physicians, and nursing mothers ready?" Although Zhuo Yuan had never given birth, he also arranged for several pregnant concubines when he was taking care of the palace affairs for the queen, and he was much more proficient in business than Yimin. .

Yi Min pointed her fingers and said to her: "The two midwifes lived in the apse half a month ago, and the imperial hospital has arranged two imperial physicians who are proficient in obstetrics and gynecology. An imperial physician stayed behind, the wet nurse prepared two, and the nurse also had two, all living in the East Palace..."

This is also when Zhang Guiren caught up. There are four pregnant women in the palace, and one of them is the queen.

In the harem, even pregnant women are divided into different categories. The best medical resources should be gathered in Kunning Palace, followed by Concubine Rong's Zhongcui Palace. Zhang Guiren and Zhao Jia are often there It's almost a wait.

Being able to discharge two gynecological imperial physicians is already due to the fact that Zhang Guiren is about to give birth.

Zhuo Yuan was not surprised either, she nodded and said: "There is nothing wrong, Amin, rest assured, Mrs. Zhang Gui was also born and raised, she must know it well, and she will not hurt her body."

"I know, I have run out of personnel, I have a clear conscience, and I can't control the rest."

From the beginning to the end, she was just following her heart and adhering to the mentality of being courteous to pregnant women. Otherwise, as a main empress, how could she really annoy Zhang Guiren like this?Even if she fails, Aunt Lu and the others are not vegetarians either!

Zhuo Yuan likes to see her frank look the most, with crooked smiling eyes, "Amin has the style of an ancient gentleman."

Yimin smiled lowly, she is not a gentleman, but she always remembers the education she received in modern times, and remembers the kindness and kindness taught by her parents.

The first 22 years of her life left an indelible mark on her body, and she was unwilling to give it up completely.

……

East side hall.

Back in his room, Zhang Gui said in panic, "I said something wrong!"

Qin Yu was also very helpless, "Young master really shouldn't have said that just now, everyone in the palace knows that the imperial concubine and Concubine Wen have a very good relationship, and it's not like no one provoked them, but the friendship between the two empresses is still getting stronger day by day. "

Guiren Zhang was very annoyed, "I didn't think about it when I said it, and I really didn't mean to provoke!" He just kept his guard against Concubine Wen in his heart, and brought out some of what he said, but he didn't want to anger the concubine.

"My lord, didn't Miss Wen say that she has no intention of separating you and my little master, besides, Miss Wen is so young, she will definitely have her own children in the future, so there is no need to adopt our little master."

Zhang Guiren's lacrimal glands are extremely sensitive during pregnancy, and the tears fell one by one, "I don't know in my heart, these days the empress is also very lenient to me, and I am grateful for the comfort..."

"It's just that whenever I think of my child calling someone else's mother, I feel very uncomfortable..."

She wiped her tears with a handkerchief, choked up and said, "Qin Yu, as soon as the imperial doctor told you that you were pregnant, I thought it was my big princess who came back. I haven't told anyone else about it, but in my heart I think it's a little princess..."

Thinking of the big Gege who was raised until she was three years old and could run and dance, Qin Yu also felt a little uncomfortable, but she still patted her little master on the back and said, "Maybe he is a little elder brother!"

No matter how good Ge Ge is born in this palace, he can't compare to Elder Brother!

……

In the evening, it began to snow.

Yi Min stood by the window and glanced, and said: "Ah Yuan, let's rest in Yongshou Palace tonight, it's getting dark and it's snowing again, I don't worry about going back like this, I made new clothes for you last time and haven't given them to you yet." You, just change it this time."

Then he said to Sang Ruo and the others: "Qingmei and the others still have a few vacant rooms over there, you can just stay for one night tonight."

Zhuo Yuan nodded with a smile, and asked Sang Ruo and Qing Mei to go to the room first to identify the door, she sat on the back of the room, and shared a plate of crystal plum cake with Yi Min.

"Doesn't Amin like children?" Zhuo Yuan asked, biting off the glutinous rice skin and eating the stuffing inside.

During the day, she wanted to ask, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Amin really avoided the child in Zhang Guiren's belly like a snake and a scorpion!Can't wait to go as far as possible.

The dim sum is small and exquisite, and Yi Min took one bite at a time, "It doesn't count, if I hold a child to play with me for a while, I like it too, but if I let me raise it, it won't work. I haven't prepared to raise a child yet." Prepare."

"Oh?" Zhuo Yuan looked at her with his chin up, his eyes were calm and gentle, "Is Amin afraid that he won't be able to protect him?"

Yimin thought about it, "A little bit, but I'm more afraid of letting him down, I'm afraid I can't be a good mother."

"How could it be?" Zhuo Yuan walked around the small table and sat next to his friend, putting his hand on her shoulder, "If A Min becomes a mother-in-law, she must be the best mother-in-law in the world!"

She thought so from the bottom of her heart, and her tone was extremely serious.

Yimin held her fingertips, "How can a child be so easy to raise? You must give him a healthy body, take care of his heart, teach him self-protection, teach him to be kind, teach him how to behave in the world, and give him a healthy body. Give him so much love..."

Zhuo Yuan's beautiful eyebrows and eyes are so soft that it is unreasonable. Only her good friend can say such prudent words.

But she still said: "But I really want to see a child who looks like Amin..." she whispered softly, as if she was acting like a baby.

Just as Yimin wanted to say "don't even think about it", she heard footsteps outside.

While concentrating on it, I heard Qingmei's voice, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhang has activated!"

Qingmei walked in a hurry, followed by Sang Ruo, "Madam, just now someone from the East Palace said that Mrs. Zhang is about to give birth!"

Yi Min took two steps forward and asked, "Has the midwife gone? There is also the imperial doctor, have you sent someone to look for it?"

"The midwife has already passed away, the imperial physician is still on the way, and the hot water in the kitchen is on the rise. Empress, don't worry, Zhang Guiren has just started it, and there will be a while..."

Yimin said: "Send someone to the empress to inform her that the imperial concubine is already here, and the road is slippery on a snowy night. Please, empress, take yourself first and don't rush over here. If there is any news, I will notify Kun as soon as possible. Ning Gong!"

"Send someone to Qianqing Palace to make an announcement. Needless to say anything else, just report to the emperor that Zhang Guiren is about to give birth." As for whether he will come or not, it is his own business.

Seeing that they were all going out, Yimin didn't go to Dongpei Hall immediately, but turned around and said to Zhuo Yuan: "It's cold outside, so don't go out, rest first."

Zhuo Yuan was already putting on his coat, "You have used my name to persuade the queen, of course I want to go out to accompany you, besides, as a noble concubine..."

Before she finished speaking, Yimin pushed her onto the bed, took off her half-dressed cloak, and covered her with a quilt. She had no strength to fight back.

"You've got it, at this point, the emperor won't come over," Yimin is sure of this point, let Kangxi rush over in the middle of the winter in the middle of the night, if it is still possible for the queen and concubine Rong, Zhang Guiren can forget it.

Kangxi is a person who values ​​status and family background very much at this stage, but Zhang Guiren has neither status nor family background, and his affection is not deep, so he is not worthy of his old man condescending to leave the warm bed on a snowy night.

For a child in the palace, before birth, the mother is more precious than the mother. After the birth, if they can grow up safely, that is the time when the mother is more precious than the child!

Smoothing her furrowed brows, Yi Min half-coaxed: "You just stay in the house and have a good rest, I just need to go to the town, there will be no problem..."

Zhuo Yuan was troubled, "But just in case..."

"There is no chance, even if there is something, you are not an imperial doctor, and you can't change anything if you go there, and you want me to be distracted and worry about your body, don't forget that your cold is not long..."

After all, Zhuo Yuan was finally left in the house, so Yimin put on a thick coat and headed for the East Side Hall.

On the way, I bumped into the imperial doctor who came in a hurry, and didn't give him a chance to salute, so she urged: "Don't be too polite, hurry up and see Mrs. Zhang, it's important!"

The road from the main hall to the east side hall is very clean, and there is not much snow.

Xing'er was holding a lamp in front to test the road. On both sides were Yulan and Yimin, who surrounded Yimin in the middle. Green plums and green willows respectively supported her arms to ensure that they would not slip.

A lamp was hung in the corridor, the light was yellowish, and as we got closer, the rustling sound drifted along with the cold wind.

Quickly came to the outside of the delivery room, concentrated for a long time, did not hear any movement, anxiously saw a palace lady coming out with a water basin, Yi Min had no time to think, grabbed her arm and asked.

"How's it going inside? Is Zhang Guiren okay? Why is there no movement?"

The palace maid said in fear and trepidation: "If you go back to your mother, the young master is still gathering strength..."

Qingmei also said at the side: "The midwife and the imperial physician didn't come out to report, so it means there is nothing serious, Madam, don't worry."

Knowing that she was overreacting, Yi Min let go of the little maid's hand and let her go to work, walked around the room twice, thinking that this was not the way to go, so she sat on the soft chair and pulled the handkerchief nervously.

Su promised to come at this time.

After paying her respects, she consciously stood behind Yimin, pinched her shoulders, and comforted her: "Sister, don't worry, Sister Zhang was born and raised, and mother and child are sure to be safe this time..."

"Why are you here?" Stopping Su's action of agreeing, Yi Min turned her head to look at her, saw that her clothes were a little messy, and a part of her collar was still exposed, so she knew that she got up from the bed.

Patting her arm lightly, Yimin said, "Go back, I can stay here, it's snowing outside, you remember to go back through the corridor, don't catch cold."

Su promised with a slight smile, "I'll stay with my sister."

Yi Min straightened her collar and said in a deep voice, "Be obedient, go back!"

Su Ying has always been soft-tempered. Seeing her serious face, even if he didn't want to, he didn't dare not to listen, so he had to follow her advice and leave.

After she left, Yimin also calmed down, and said to Luliu: "I'm afraid everyone is going to have a hard time tonight. You go to the small kitchen to make some bone soup tomorrow morning, and then go to the imperial hospital to get some medicinal materials to prevent wind and cold." Add it in, ginger soup is prepared day and night..."

"The servant has recorded it."

……

The night was getting colder and colder, and there were only three pots lit by the charcoal fire in the room. Yimin pressed her forehead, sleepy to death, relying on strong tea to wake up.

It has been almost two hours since Zhang Guiren started mobilizing. The eunuchs sent to Kunning Palace and Qianqing Palace have all returned, and Kangxi did not come as expected.

Except for footsteps and the voice of the midwife leading the delivery room, there was no other sound.Yimin quietly yawned again, wanting to stand up and move her numb legs.

I don't want to hear a baby cry as soon as I stand up!

Turn back sharply!

The numb legs almost failed to stand still, but Qingmei quickly supported her.

Yimin didn't care about these things, she walked quickly to the curtain, and bumped into the midwife who came out to announce the good news.

Just about to ask a question, but the speed of the exit did not overwhelm the other party, only the midwife said beamingly: "Congratulations, you are a little princess!"

At the same time, Yimin's voice just fell, "How is Zhang Guiren?"

The midwife was taken aback for a moment, but she was also very knowledgeable and quick to respond, and immediately replied: "Go back to your mother, mother and daughter are safe, little master Zhang is fine, and has already fallen asleep."

Yimin breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then quickly felt a little weird—how does this look like a husband waiting for his wife in the delivery room?

Bah, bah, bah, I don't want to steal Kangxi's role!

She immediately became dignified, put on the graceful look of the empress dowager, and said with a reserved smile: "This time, Mrs. Zhang gave birth to Gege successfully, thanks to the contributions of several mothers-in-law and imperial physicians, Luliu..."

Luliu came out with a tray of purses, first took out two embroidered peaches and distributed them to the midwife, and then took out one embroidered with orchids and gave them to the imperial doctor. A busy palace eunuch.

"Later, there will be a gift of thanks to all of you, but tonight, please be careful and don't make any mistakes."

Everyone has been rewarded, so naturally they should be rewarded again and again.

Yimin also didn't leave behind the imperial physician who was not present, in front of everyone, when she asked Luliu to give away the reward tomorrow, she remembered to give the imperial physician a copy as a thank you for her hard work during this time.

As for the purse, there is no one.If you didn't show up, what kind of appearance fee will you give!

After the baby was born, Yimin was no longer sleepy, she ran to the delivery room full of energy and took a look at Zhang Guiren, and saw that she was sleeping on the bed with a pale complexion, her hair was wet with sweat.

With a very soft voice, she asked Qin Yu, "Are you all right?"

Qin Yu also replied softly: "Mother, the young master gave birth very smoothly this time, it only took two hours, and now I am just tired, just take a nap and it will be fine."

The scalp tingled for a while—isn't it too long after two hours?She is too tired to sit outside!

Yimin glanced at Zhang Guiren with some admiration, left silently, and slipped into the small room next to her to see the newborn little Gege.

At this time, the two wet nurses had already arrived at their posts, and they were standing in front of the crib, watching Little Gege all the time, and when they saw Concubine Wen coming over, they immediately knelt down and saluted.

Putting up her index finger, signaling them to keep quiet, Yi Min gently moved to the bed, bent down to greet the little guy.

Newborn babies are ugly.

The little girl's face was flushed, her eyes were closed, her hair was sparse, her mouth was slightly open, her fists were tightly clenched, and she couldn't tell who she looked like.

Yimin laughed lightly, didn't dare to touch her, just tapped her nose with her fingers, and silently made a blessing in her heart.

——Grow up healthy, your mother-in-law loves you very much!
