Chapter 424 The Queen Is Born
"The empress is about to give birth, so many people are waiting and watching." Wantong sighed: "Brother and they have been under a lot of pressure these past few years. Fortunately, I have the real power to lead the army. They still have one or two scruples. The emperor also protects the Wan family. We really don't have that kind of heart
Otherwise, just the verbal criticism of these literati would be enough for Wan Shi to drink a pot.
But, who can believe that Wan Shi didn't have that thought?
Wantong stayed here that day, and the next day, the person from the second room came. I haven't seen her for many years. The second sister-in-law is much older, but her niece Wu Li'er has grown up. She was only eight years old when she left, and now she is fifteen. It's too late.
After the two sides met, Wu Youwei saw his little nephew and grandson again.
After meeting, he followed Wu Mingde to school together.
The rest of the people opened the ancestral hall at home and worshiped their ancestors.
It means that Wu Youwei, the parent, has returned, and Wu Qiong is now a good scholar in the Imperial Academy, and will soon be elected officials.
Everyone gets together for a reunion dinner, and after the meal, the family sits together, which is regarded as a reunion.
Wu Youwei praised his little niece, she is 15 years old, so he has been in the Ming Dynasty for 16 years...
Wu Mengshi is showing her family: "Nowadays, many people ask me about Li'er, but I don't dare to say that you are dead if you don't come back, I only want you, as an uncle, to nod before you consider the marriage.
"Second sister-in-law, you'd better wait." Wu Youwei said, "The current situation in the court is unclear, so it's better not to make a decision lightly. Or find a juren, and wait until he passes the Jinshi examination before proposing marriage and getting married. At least he will stay in the capital for three years, no matter what happens in three years, he will have a child, and you can rest assured by then.
Wu Li'er blushed with embarrassment, pleaded guilty, and went to the backyard to play with Wu Yi'er. When talking about marriage, girls usually avoid it.
"I... well, her elder brother has a colleague, and there is a younger brother in the family who is about the same age as Li'er." Wu Mengshi said: "The family has a hundred acres of fertile land, and farming and studying have been handed down to the family. Now it is a juren."
"You want to give Li'er to their family?" Wu Youwei frowned: "What's your name?"
"Fang Jiakang." Wu Mengshi said: "His father is Zuo Tongzheng Fangxian."
Speaking of it, the second wife of the Wu family has climbed high.
"Not good." Wu Youwei shook his head, because there seems to be no such person in history?
And the portal is not quite right either.
Wu Mengshi actually likes this marriage very much, but she is not an ignorant woman and child. When she heard her uncle say no, she immediately said: "There is also the third son of Mr. Jiang's family who was sentenced by the imperial hospital."
"Too hospital?" Wu Youwei frowned even more: "There is less contact with that place."
The ancient imperial physicians were so hard-working, they were simply cannon fodder in Gongdou.
Wu Mengshi made several proposals in succession, but Wu Youwei vetoed them all.
"Let's talk about it after I ask Zhong Ming to check it out!" Wu Youwei said, "Now that the court is unstable, if you get implicated..." But it will be a matter of a lifetime.
Wu Mengshi didn't dare to continue talking about her daughter's marriage.
"Anyway, the child is still young, so it's time to get married at eighteen." Wu Youwei comforted her instead: "Besides, I just came back, and I don't know what official position I will have next.
Wu Mengshi also thought about it, if the uncle can be promoted, wouldn't the daughter be able to find a good husband's family?
Thinking about it this way, she was even less dissatisfied.
On the second day after the reunion, Wantong took Wu Youwei back to his mansion in the capital.
His place was always guarded and packed out before his return.
After entering the door, everything seemed as if they hadn't left, Wu Youwei was filled with emotion: "What the family cleans up is clean."
Just as Wantong was about to say something, the steward Wanfu ran in outside: "My lord, sir, there is news from the palace, empress, start it!"
"Isn't it still a month away?" Wantong was startled, and then all kinds of thoughts rushed into his mind. Who made the secret move to make the empress give birth prematurely?Or do you want to embezzle the past and let the eldest sister take the blame?or...
Wantong thought a lot at that moment.
Wu Youwei heard the news and said: "Then you want to enter the palace?"
Wantong gritted his teeth: "No!"
The empress gave birth, but not his elder sister, so why go in?
And it's plainly suspicious.
"Then accompany me to pack the books at home." Wu Youwei stepped forward to hold his hand: "How about it?"
Wantong saw the calm Wu Youwei, and you finally got a little calm: "Okay."
Wantong stayed at home to accompany Wu Youwei to sort out the books, but Wanfu butler was taken aback for a moment, and then quietly withdrew.
The palace was in chaos.
Because Zhaode Palace does not manage palace affairs, Wan Zhen'er is only responsible for taking care of her own children, while the other women are really jealous and fighting for power and profit during the empress's pregnancy.
A lot of scheming was staged in the palace, which annoyed Emperor Xianzong very much.
On this day, I heard that the empress had given birth prematurely, and Emperor Xianzong finally broke out!
"Is that how you share your worries for the queen?" Emperor Xianzong looked at the concubines who were kneeling on the ground and crying in the rain: "What use are you for?"
"My lord, my concubine and others... really didn't do it on purpose..." The leader was Concubine Guan.
Since she was unable to conceive and bear children, her status in the palace was dispensable.
So she couldn't look past any pregnant concubine!
But that's a concubine, not a queen!
They really didn't mean to quarrel in front of the queen!
Who knew that the empress would give birth prematurely when she got angry?
They just want to hold on to more power, no love, no children, can't they have rights?
As a result...the empress gave birth prematurely.
They... just knelt in front of the Kunning Palace to plead guilty.
"Kneel down, the queen is fine, you are fine, if there is anything wrong with the queen, you can go and accompany the queen!" Emperor Xianzong closed his eyes with a cold face.
He closed his eyes and meditated.
The queen gave birth prematurely, so he came here. The queen is no better than others. The mother of a country gave birth prematurely in the harem. How much does it damage the dignity of the royal family?
Even the queen mother was alarmed, and sent the old lady beside her to check on the situation.
Wan Zhen'er came over after a while.
At the same time, Concubine Ji and Yanran came with her.
"My lord, the imperial concubine is here." Eunuch Huai En reminded Emperor Xianzong in a low voice when he saw the imperial concubine walking in.
But eunuch Wynn didn't say anything about Concubine Ji who was following behind, because he knew it, and it was useless to say it. The emperor would definitely not notice Concubine Ji.
Hearing that Zhen'er was coming, Emperor Xianzong opened his eyes and saw Zhen'er looking at him worriedly: "My lord, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I'm angry." Emperor Xianzong stretched out his hand and pulled her to sit next to her: "You also came to see the queen?"
"Well, in Zhaode Palace, I heard that the Empress Dowager was activated, so I came to see if Zhen'er can help?" Wan Zhen'er said softly: "The children have been sent to Qingning Palace , ask the empress dowager to take care of it."
Wan Zhen'er looked at the women kneeling outside who were staring at her helplessly: "Are they making you angry?"
"Hmm." Emperor Xianzong felt that with Zhen'er by his side, his whole body became energetic: "The empress was pissed off by these people and gave birth prematurely."
As soon as he saw the elders, Emperor Xianzong's child lost his temper and began to complain to Wan Zhen'er: "I let them kneel, the queen is good, they are good, the queen is not good, they will not be good! "
"Isn't it their fault that the empress gave birth prematurely, but you have to wait until the empress is born?" Wan Zhen'er thought for a while: "Why don't you let them go back, lock up their own palaces, and wait for the empress to deal with it personally?"
In fact, Wan Zhen'er was afraid that they would make trouble at this critical moment, and the harem's tricks were endless, since these people were dishonest, let them settle down.
She believed that the queen would definitely want to personally deal with them who caused her to give birth prematurely.
At the same time, it can also make the emperor out of sight and out of mind.
"Have you heard what the imperial concubine said?" Emperor Xianzong glanced coldly: "Go away! Go back! Who dares to leave the palace gate without authorization and enter the cold palace to accompany Empress Wu?"
Everyone was clever, kowtowed one after another, got up and hurried out of Kunning Palace.
When they got out of the emperor's line of sight, they all stared at each other, like fighting cocks, with thorns all over their bodies, but gnashing their teeth.
This confinement will take at least a month, because after the queen is born, she will be in confinement for a month, and then she will take charge of palace affairs again.
And the manpower they arranged with great difficulty, I am afraid that all of them will be affected.
They couldn't complain about Concubine Wan Gui's move, but they couldn't thank her either.
Concubine Ji was the only one left among these people, because she came with Concubine Wan Gui. Unfortunately, Emperor Xianzong only had Concubine Wan Gui in his eyes. Ji Yanran stood in an inconspicuous corner just like when she was a court lady. Inside, silently watching Emperor Xianzong whispering to Concubine Wan Gui.
What he was thinking about was his own son, who could run back and dance now.
"Everyone doesn't let me worry about it. The queen just started here, and everyone came here in a hurry. It turned out that they had quarreled in Kunning Palace in the morning, and they left without stopping. The queen was angry. These people ah , why are you not as good as you?" Emperor Xianzong was depressed, was it because he only cared about their beauty and neglected their upbringing?
Another point is that they are very well informed!
"Everyone is also concerned about the empress." As long as they are not blocked by the empress and they are really yelling in Kunning Palace, there is still room for maneuver.
With so many women, not all of them are troublemakers, and some of them are good. It's just that honest people are bullied, and they don't usually explode, but it suddenly explodes, which is surprising.
Isn't it surprising that they even dared to quarrel in Kunning Palace.
There are many people waiting outside, and the people in the delivery room are not relaxed.
"Young lady, work harder, the little prince is about to come out!" The nanny held the queen's hand to encourage her: "Think about the rest of your life!"
"Nurse, it hurts so much!" Queen Wang was sweating profusely, her face was pale, her stomach was bulging and moving.
I never knew giving birth was so painful!
She saw Wan Zhen'er giving birth one after another, and others were also giving birth, so she thought it was easy to have children.
Now I have to admire them, it hurts too much to have a baby!
"Is there any pain in having a baby?" The nanny hurriedly comforted her: "It won't hurt after giving birth!"
At the gate of the palace, people from the Wang family are already waiting. They want to enter the palace, but now is not the time to go in, so they can only ask someone to ask again and again, is there a baby?
From noon to night, it was already dawn and everyone was sleepy." When a baby's cry sounded, Emperor Xianzong woke up and fell asleep sitting up.
It's just that after waking up, she knew that she had given birth, and suddenly squeezed Wan Zhen'er's hand tightly.
Wan Zhen'er understood what he meant. If the Queen had that fate and gave birth to a prince, he would be Daming's legitimate son, and the position of the East Palace must belong to him. The future Emperor of Ming Dynasty would also be in his pocket.
But the emperor wanted to be his eldest son, but it was... difficult to do.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Empress has been born!" Dagong's daughter, who was in charge of assisting the midwife, ran out with a beaming face.
When Wan Zhen'er saw her coming out, her eyes sharpened... Is this a big heart?
In it for a long time and a night, the hair is not messed up, the youthful beauty and the beaming face are really brilliant.
It's a pity that Emperor Xianzong was not interested in the eye-catching palace daughter. He just asked coldly, "Is it the prince or the princess?"
Dagong's daughter was stunned: "I don't...don't know yet, I just want to come out to announce the good news..."
She just wanted to show her face in front of the emperor.
