The crown princess had been in labor for a whole night, and the midwife stuffed ginseng slices into her mouth for the fifth time, and shouted into her ear, "Your Majesty, push harder, you're almost there!"
The crown prince's mind has been blurred, she can't even scream, she shakes her head slightly, and she is about to faint.
If you really faint, the two children in your stomach will be suffocated to death, and the adults may not be able to keep it. The midwife was very worried but she didn't dare to speak out. While pressing the princess's belly hard, she turned her head to look for Nanny Song.
"Come here, talk to the master to wake her up, if this really passes, everyone in the room will have to..." She gestured on her neck.
Nanny Song hurriedly stepped forward to wipe the master's sweat, racking her brains to think of words, such as 'His Royal Highness is waiting for you outside', 'The emperor has been looking forward to it for a long time', 'If something happens to you, wouldn't it be the revenge of your relatives? "Hurry up" and so on, the princess did not respond, and her eyelids became heavier.
Suddenly, Nanny Song had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "Mother, do you still remember the dragon and phoenix lottery that Miss Xiang'er drew? She said that all the gods and Buddhas in the sky are blessing you with her hands. We are now in Baiyun In Guanli, maybe the Taoist ancestor is watching us from the sky! Bamboos turn into dragons and phoenixes into the sky, and Daoguang shines on all evil spirits. With the Taoist ancestor blessing you, those evil spirits will never hurt you, and you and the two little emperors and grandchildren will be safe It's all right! This is God's will, it's God's will! Madam, if you work harder, the little grandson will come out in the next moment!"
The princess kept drooping her eyelids at first, but she suddenly opened her eyes wide in the last few sentences, chewed the ginseng slices in her mouth hard, swallowed the ginseng juice, screamed and kept pushing hard. When people are most desperate, they always ask for help from the gods and Buddhas they believe in, and the princess is no exception. With the hint of signing in front of her, she suddenly surged with infinite hope and strength, and she came back to life at the moment of dying, fighting for a future for herself.
The sky was slightly bright, and the prince stood on the porch all night.
The drizzle had stopped at some point, but the remaining sky-blue smog enveloped the entire mountaintop. The lofty and steep mountain peaks in the distance were looming in the billowing smoke, and the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful.
Suddenly, a gap was opened in the thick clouds, and golden light poured down from the gap, projecting on the top of a mountain. The colorful halos melted layer by layer, making the sky blue all over the mountain come alive.
The brilliant light was so dazzling that several Dragon Scale Guards turned their heads to look at it, and immediately showed stunned expressions.
At that time, there was only a shrill scream in the delivery room, followed by two loud and clear cries, and people kept shouting 'I gave birth, I gave birth', and their voices were full of intense emotions of weeping with joy.
The prince hurried to the door, only to see Nanny Song holding a baby wrapped in a cloth towel in each of her left and right hands, crying and laughing, "Congratulations, Your Royal Highness, this is the little prince, this is the little princess, please take a look. Everything is fine for the Crown Princess, please rest assured!" She leaned over, revealing her two bright red faces in her arms.
The prince stretched out his hand, really didn't know which one to hug first, the boulder hanging in his heart crashed to the ground, making him quite dizzy.
But at this time, countless fine halos were rendered, covering the entire Baiyun Temple in colorful divine light. Several Dragon Scale Guards pointed to the mountain peak surrounded by a circular rainbow not far away and shouted, "Daoguang shines everywhere!" , Auspiciousness descended from heaven, this is the birth of the Son of Destiny!"
When everyone looked up, they were fascinated by the wonderful sight of nature, and the words "Daoguang Puzhao" kept echoing in their minds. Nanny Song regained her senses from her trance, hurriedly hugged the child and knelt down cautiously, and shouted, "Thank you Daozu for blessing the empress and the two grandchildren, thank you Daozu!"
When she said those words to encourage the princess, her heart was pounding, and seeing this brilliant and gorgeous Daoguang, she was so excited that she almost burst into tears. These two children are soul boys given by Taoist ancestors, and they will be extraordinary in the future!
The prince bent down to pick up the children, and slowly walked out of the eaves, allowing them to be completely bathed in Daoguang. With the baptism of divine light, all disasters will be far away from them.
Long Linwei knelt down one after another, shouting "Congratulations to the prince, auspiciousness from heaven" and other words.
The so-called Daoguang is nothing more than a circular rainbow formed by the refraction and diffuse reflection of light through clouds and fog. However, in the eyes of the ignorant ancients, it is undoubtedly a miracle.
In the delivery room, the midwife opened the window a crack, helped the princess up to let her enjoy the once-in-a-hundred-year spectacle, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the Daoguang shines on all evils and recedes, and the person behind this is not sure what to do now." You're slapping your hands and feet. You can sleep peacefully."
The princess smiled briskly, closed her eyes and fell asleep. Although her lower body was in pain like tearing, it was the sweetest sleep she had ever slept since she was pregnant. With Daozu's blessing, she was finally safe.
After the news came back to the capital, the emperor was ecstatic, and sent several urgent orders to the prince to send the princess and the two little grandchildren back immediately. How happy he was, how much he hated the black hand behind the scenes, secretly ordered Yu Pinyan to investigate the matter thoroughly, and would rather kill by mistake than let it go. Yu Pinyan took advantage of the situation and reported Shen Miaoqi's suspicion of being the blood of the Marquis Mansion, but the emperor really didn't take it seriously, and said that he could take her away as soon as she cleared her suspicion, and he pretended that he didn't know anything.
Yu Pinyan gladly accepted the order.
When the princess woke up, the Baiyun Temple had not been lifted, and everyone was detained in the courtyard for investigation. Because the emperor issued an urgent edict, the prince prepared a comfortable and warm carriage, and the coachman hurried back to Beijing slowly.
When the Crown Princess left, she did not forget to take Old Madam Yu back with her, and ordered Nanny Song to deliver her to the gate of the Hou Mansion in person.
Two hours later, Nanny Song was still very excited. She grabbed Old Madam Yu's hand all the way, described the bright scene illuminated by the light, and sighed again and again, "Miss Xiang'er is really a spiritual person, so many signatures , she just won the dragon and phoenix lottery, especially the last line of the lottery. I was stunned, standing in the yard, jumping and screaming..."
The old lady discussed with her enthusiastically, and was also looking forward to the miracle. It's a pity that she got up late, and only saw a lingering afterglow.
Time flies by, and the Hou Mansion will arrive soon. Nanny Song graciously helped the old lady into the house, and asked someone to carry several large boxes of expensive gifts, which she said were brought to Miss Xiang'er by the empress.
Mrs. Pei also took advantage of the old lady's favor, and took the next carriage down the mountain, otherwise she would be stared at by a group of dragon scale guards all day long, and she would definitely get sick from fright.
The two said goodbye at the three-way intersection, Mrs. Pei hurried back to the house to wash up, and the old lady went straight to the west wing to visit her granddaughter.
"Old ancestor, why are you back?" Yu Xiang raised her head and muttered sleepily.
It was three quarters past and she was still lying on the bed sleeping late, she was wearing nothing on her upper body, and she was wearing a pair of smoky green bloomers, and the quilt was partly lifted, revealing her half-drawn white and tender arms, letting the sunlight outside the window shine. The shining shimmer is really confusing.
The old lady went over to fix the quilt for her, straightened her disheveled hair, and scolded, "Lazy girl, what time are you still lying on the bed, get up quickly! You don't know, the princess concubine gave birth prematurely!"
Yu Xiang was fully awake, propped up her upper body and asked, "What happened? A boy or a girl?"
"I gave birth to dragon and phoenix twins, the horoscope is good, and the auspiciousness is sent down from the sky..." The old lady recounted the story of Daoguang's shining from Nanny Song, pinched the tip of her granddaughter's nose lovingly, and said with a smile, "My granddaughter is indeed a little lucky star! Let the old ancestors see if the soaking on the back is done."
Yu Xiang brushed back her long hair and said, "It's much better after applying the medicine. Ancestor, don't be happy, I want to tell you something embarrassing..."
The old lady was still smiling at first, but at the end her face was so gloomy that she could drip water.
Yu Xiang rubbed the corners of her eyes, and complained with a bit of tears, "The Fang family has humiliated me so much, you have to make the decision for me, my ancestor!" After saying that, she blinked her cat pupils, and tears fell down her eyes. It's so pitiful.
The old lady poked her forehead, dumbfounded, and said angrily, "Put the cat pee away. I don't know your virtues yet? It's good that I didn't scold the Fang family boy so bloody and angry."
Yu Xiang wiped away her tears, and smiled shyly, "How can I relieve my hatred if I don't scold him to death. Old ancestor, you should drive them away quickly, and live in the Hou's mansion for no reason."
"Okay, the old ancestor made people drive them away." The old lady rubbed the top of her granddaughter's hair and sighed, "Men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. After all, Mrs. Pei married the wrong man. Those salt merchants Stealing the emperor's silver, living a life richer than the emperor, and even praising all the officials of the salt government, don't you know that the richer you are, the closer you are to death. This time the crown princess and the two little emperors Sun was killed, the emperor was suffocating and had nowhere to go, so he should take them out. I watched the Pei family grow up back then. When I was young, I was quite gracious. I was immersed in the noisy and flashy places like Yangzhou Having been promiscuous for several years, she looks like a vulgar business woman who has no experience, hey... "
The old lady shook her head and sighed for a while, seeing that it was late, she repeatedly urged her granddaughter to get up, then went back to the house and ordered Mama Mama to call Yu Siyu.
Yu Siyu knelt down tremblingly, and was about to open her mouth to appeal, but the old lady asked in a deep voice, "Hello, your wings have grown hard, and you can even do such scandalous things as meeting men in private, and even bring people into the boudoir. The family is so good that you will marry it even if you pay for Qingyu?"
Yu Siyu gritted her teeth, kowtowed and said, "The granddaughter doesn't care if the Fang family is good or not. The granddaughter just loves Mr. Fang. Since my reputation has been ruined, I ask my ancestors to help me."
Yu Siyu once heard Mrs. Pei describe the situation of her family. Not to mention the clothes and jewelry she wears are priceless, even the food is exquisite. A simple plate of fried rice with eggs costs fifty taels of silver to make. The hen that lays eggs eats fine powder made from ginseng, astragalus, Atractylodes macrocephala, red dates, etc. every day, and it is indeed extremely rich. Besides, Fang Zhichen still has such an orchid and majestic tree with a bright future, which is exactly the appearance of a beloved man that she has imagined countless times in her mind.
If I miss Fang's house, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a better place in the future.
The old lady laughed angrily, and said slowly, "What do you mean Qingyu has been destroyed? I will deal with Qingya later, and Qiu Shi, Taohong, and Liulu will definitely not publicize this matter. Why is it ruined? You don’t want it yourself, right?”
She smashed the teacup in her hand, and scolded, "How come you are such a shameless thing in my Yu Mansion!"
Yu Siyu's forehead was red and swollen and he didn't know how to repent. He kowtowed over and over again, "I beg my ancestors to be fulfilled, I beg my ancestors to be fulfilled, my granddaughter has nothing else to think about, please beg my ancestors to be fulfilled this time, I will remember you for the rest of my life The good…”
The old lady pondered for a while, then said in a cold voice, "Since you have made up your mind, I have no choice but to make it happen. After one month, I will personally go to the door to discuss marriage with Mrs. Pei. I don't need you to remember my favor, I just hope you don't Temporary repentance... "
"The granddaughter will never regret it!" Yu Siyu promised impatiently.
The old lady stared at her for a long while before waving her hand to let her go out.
Mother Ma asked worriedly, "Old madam, you really married the young lady to the Fang family? How did this happen?"
"How can we not do it? The murder of the little emperor's grandson has aroused the emperor's anger, and he will definitely resort to thunderous means to clean up the inside and outside of the court. After three months, the salt tax case will have been settled, and the Fang family must not be able to escape. Fang Zhichen just got it I'm afraid that his fame will be used to pay for his crimes. He became a commoner and ruined his official career. I don't need to worry about the emperor jealousy of my Marquis, but I can marry Yu Siyu. Didn't she come here crying and begging? And fulfilled her."
Ma Momo was speechless for a while, feeling both hateful and pitiful for the young miss. If she didn't make trouble like this, she could have married into a wealthy family and lived a stable life. If the old lady is really determined to promise her to the Fang family, it will be hard in the future.
