In recent days, the emperor was busy looking at spring plowing reports from various places and did not enter the harem.
Instead, he summoned Shen Chuliu to accompany him once.
Now Shen Chuliu is very familiar with this matter.
A few days later, the emperor sent word that he would set off on the first day of April for half a month.
In fact, I just went to see the farmland around Qingliang Mountain.
It doesn't count as a summer vacation. If you want to escape the summer heat, you can't leave so early.
This time there was really only one concubine following me.
The queen didn't know what her mood was, but she didn't do anything anyway.
But no matter what, this also confirms that Yi Fei does have an idea.
But no matter how you think about it, this time, Yi Fei offended many people.
It's just that I didn't know that she was going to be pregnant. Now that I know, I feel that she is a bit desperate.
On March 27th, Yi Chongyuan still took action.
Less than nine months old, premature birth.
It was morning, everyone had just left the Queen's Palace, and some people had not yet walked back.
After learning the news, they all rushed to Yichongyuan's palace.
The emperor had something to do after the morning court today, so he didn't come too early.
Yi Chongyuan was in great pain, and she was in severe pain.
The queen had prepared the imperial physician and others, so everything was ready, just waiting for her to give birth.
Doctor Mi went in to take a look and came out to report that everything seemed to be fine now, but she was about to give birth in less than a month, so Yi Chongyuan had to endure hardships.
This is strange to say. Generally speaking, if it is a premature birth, it should be quick.
Everyone was just confused and didn't say anything.
By the time Qi Yixiu arrived, it was almost noon, and it was very busy inside.
After everyone paid their respects, the emperor asked the queen for news.
The queen didn't even hide anything, she told everything.
The emperor frowned and nodded. Yi Chongyuan watched this baby closely. The queen is also watching, so nothing will happen.
But now it seems that her own constitution is not suitable for pregnancy.
This pregnancy was very bad.
After noon, there was sudden movement in the inner room.
First, Yi Chongyuan screamed in pain, and then she remembered the baby's cry.
The cry was very loud. But apart from the crying, the inner room was silent for a while.
After a long time, I heard Yi Chongyuan ask: "Are you a boy or a girl?"
Then Wen Po responded in a panic: "It's the prince."
Yi Chongyuan suffered so much that she didn't realize that this was wrong for a while.
The people who heard it outside all looked at each other, they were afraid that there was something wrong with this prince.
Qi Yixiu sat, his face visibly darkened.
Soon, Po Wen came out to announce the good news: "Congratulations to the Emperor and Empress, Empress Yi Chongyuan has given birth to the prince. Mother and son are safe."
"Except for the queen, everyone should go back." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
Everyone knew there was a problem and did not dare to stay, so they all left.
Qi Yixiu stood up: "Tell me, what's wrong with the child?"
The stable ladies hurriedly knelt down and said: "If you want to reply to the emperor, the prince, he... he..."
Po Wen couldn't tell.
"You haven't said it yet?" the queen yelled angrily.
"Going back to the Emperor and the Queen, the Prince has blue spots on his back... on his neck, and... on his face..." Wen Po was trembling.
birthmark.
It's not really a big deal for a child to have a birthmark, but if it's all over the back, neck, and cheeks, it's absolutely unacceptable for a prince. This is tantamount to having already lost your position as soon as you are born.
Moreover, the more ugly the birthmark is, the more unclean it is, which means that Yi Chongyuan was not clean when she was pregnant.
This naturally has no scientific basis, but this is how the ancients viewed it.
Especially this child was born in the middle of the day.
Qi Yixiu glanced at Po Wen and said, "Bring her here."
Po Wen agreed and hurriedly went in to take out the wrapped fourth prince.
The child stopped crying after being unswaddled and slept soundly.
Although he is less than a month old, he is quite a good child.
It's a pity that there is a small blue spot on the face, which is just in the eye socket, and there are three or four small spots on the neck. And the entire back spreads to the shoulders, which is a whole piece.
Blue spots will also become larger as a person grows up, and they will not be covered on the neck and face in the future.
Doctor Mi looked at Qi Yixiu and hurriedly came over to check: "Back to the emperor, this spot... cannot be removed. I can only try my best to prepare ointment and ask the fourth prince to apply it. I just hope that the spots on my face will not get deeper."
The queen looked at the fourth prince and sighed: "What a good child."
"The fourth prince will be taken to Ruiqing Palace to be raised from now on. Queen, please arrange everything he needs. Since he can't be removed, there is no need to take medicine for the time being." Qi Yixiu's face was ugly: "Yi Chongyuan does not need to see this child in the future. ”
After that, he stood up and said, "I still have something to do, so the queen should go back early. She hasn't eaten yet and her health is important. As for the queen mother, just say that the fourth prince is not easy to see now, and we will talk about it later."
"Yes. Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry to go back. If any of you go to Fuyang Palace or Fenghua Pavilion to send a message, Your Majesty will go have lunch first," the Queen said.
The closest ones here are these two palaces.
"No need, I'm going back, and the queen should go back too." The emperor waved his hands, obviously not in the mood.
The queen agreed and said nothing this time.
After sending Qi Yixiu away, the queen said calmly: "If the child born after Yi Chongyuan is not well-born, I will not reward you. According to this palace, the fourth prince will be raised in Ruiqing Palace in the future. If anyone in the palace dares to say a word, Killed on the spot."
"yes."
"Empress! What happened to my concubine's child!" Yi Chongyuan rushed out holding the slave's hand.
And the fourth prince had already taken him away.
"You are still in confinement, take a good rest." The queen said calmly.
In fact, the ancients were particularly taboo about these things. The emperor did not demote Yi Chongyuan, even if it was to give her the last dignity.
From now on, this woman will no longer be able to sleep with you.
The emperor will definitely feel disgusted.
If a child is born like this, it would be better to have his legs and arms broken.
"The Queen..."
"Yi Chongyuan, do you still want to preserve the dignity of your ninth concubine and live a good life in the future? Or do you have to make a fuss today and ask the emperor to demote you? I will ask you again, are you really willing to support the four concubines? Prince? Do you think the emperor is unclean when he sees you?"
This uncleanness does not mean that she is not innocent, but that her body is unclean.
"How could it be? How could I..." Yi Chongyuan listened and did not dare to say anything more.
I don't dare... I don't dare to raise that child.
"It's not like I won't see you again in the future, just take good care of her." The queen waved her hand.
The queen sent a message, and the emperor also sent a message. Now everyone in the palace knew that the fourth prince had a problem.
It was certain that Yi Chongyuan had fallen out of favor, and the Queen Mother did not express any emotion.
There are no rewards from the emperor or the queen, and there is no need to think about promotion.
This made it obvious that Yi Chongyuan was a disgraced person.
Unless she has some means from now on, it will be difficult for her to stand up.
But at any rate, she is still in the ninth concubine's position, so she won't be unable to survive.
In the Leshou Palace, Zhizhi rubbed Concubine Kangde's legs: "Master, you see, this is not her retribution."
"Yes, so what if she gives birth to a child? I want her to suffer for the rest of her life."
