The more approaching the delivery period, the more pressure Guan Suyi feels. It is not from his own fear, but from outside rumors and persecution. Now everyone is looking forward to her being able to become a man in one fell swoop, as if the country's Jiangshan Sheji is all pinned on her belly. Even the empress dowager, who stayed at home, visited Jiaofang Palace several times. She appeared to be kind, but in fact, she urged her to protect the dragon's womb and to give birth to the eldest son for the emperor.
If Guan Suyi hadn't been born again, if she hadn't experienced all kinds of hardships and became stronger, she would have tossed and turned now, having trouble sleeping and eating, lest her belly would fail and give birth to a baby girl. However, she understands the pain of losing bone and blood, so she cherishes everything now. Whether this child is a son or a daughter, it is a gift from God and the most precious gift to her. It is too late for her to appreciate it, so how can she dislike it.
Facing everyone's ardent expectations, or vicious curses, she survived the ninth month and had a seizure in the early morning one day.
Emperor Shengyuan has been very nervous recently. He slept very lightly at night, for fear of an accident with his wife and children; he was not stable during the day, even if he was in court or dealing with government affairs, he would make Jinzi report safety every half an hour; mentioning, almost tied the lady under her eyelids, not allowing her to take a half step away from him.
Whenever he saw her walking back and forth in the temple with her huge belly on her head, he would be apprehensive, and occasionally he would have the idea of not letting his wife have children in the future. From vomiting faintly at first, to swollen legs and sleepless nights, she suffered too much and suffered too many sins. In the end, she still had a life-and-death difficulty to overcome.
Because of the anxiety in his heart, he woke up almost at the moment Mrs. attacked, and ran out to call someone in a panic. Fortunately, several imperial physicians were all on standby in the Jiaofang Hall, and immediately arranged the delivery room and had the empress be carried in.
Emperor Shengyuan's robes were messy and his face was pale. He heard his wife's painful moans. He almost rushed into the delivery room several times, but was stopped by Jin Zi and Bai Fu. The queen mother and others came to visit Jiaofangdian with lanterns one after another, with anxious expressions on their faces, but it was unknown what they were thinking.
"Your Majesty, go back and change your clothes first. Jiren has their own celestial appearance, and the empress and the little prince will be safe and sound." Shen Jieyu comforted her softly.
Emperor Shengyuan was reluctant to leave even one step, but he would not appear disheveled in front of other women. He asked Bai Fu to bring a robe over and put it on on the spot. His strong and powerful body was wrapped in a dark black shirt, his shoulders were broad and his waist was thin, and his tall and straight posture gave people a great sense of deterrence.
The concubines and concubines, who still had the time to pay attention to the queen, glanced at him one by one, feeling more and more regretful for their foolishness to avoid him. Fortunately, Emperor Shengyuan stared straight at the delivery room, and had no time to talk to others, otherwise he would definitely drive away all the women who were not interested in drinking.
As the night faded and the dawn dawned, the lady's moaning didn't stop at all, instead it became more and more mournful. He couldn't help walking back and forth at the door, almost stepping on a few holes in the floor tiles.
Bai Fu saw that he was about to go to court, and then stepped forward to remind, "Your Majesty, all adults are still waiting in the Golden Palace, why don't you go to court and come back?"
"What court?" Emperor Shengyuan said anxiously, "Let them all disperse, and I want to accompany my wife."
Bai Fu knew that he could not persuade His Majesty to return, so he had to go to send the ministers, and just walked out a few steps, he heard him shout again, "Wait, tell the emperor and Taichang the news of the madam's attack, and stop by the emperor's mansion to take care of the mother-in-law and Taichang. Old Madam Zuo is brought into the palace. If Madam leaves the delivery room, she will definitely want to see them."
Bai Fu complied with his promise and walked quickly. When the ministers learned that the emperor was waiting for the birth of his first-born son, they all expressed their understanding of the dismissal of the dynasty, and they also prayed in the direction of the Jiaofang Hall, wishing the queen mother and son all peace.
Hearing his colleagues shouting "little prince" one by one, Mr. Guan shook his head and sighed, "Nowadays, the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty are sure that Yiyi is pregnant with a male child, and I am afraid that the emperor has high expectations. If she becomes a male in one fell swoop, it would be unexpected. There are no surprises; if it is a daughter, I am afraid that the emperor will be extremely disappointed. The more favored he was in the past, the more disappointment and criticism he will fall after. I hope Yiyi has the blessing and can give birth to the eldest son smoothly. "
Father Guan shook his head and said, "The odds of having a son and a daughter are half and half. It's hard to say. It's good to have a son, but if you have a daughter, we have to explain a few words to her, so that she must be stable."
"She's stable." The old man said firmly, "Let's go, go back and prepare for the meeting ceremony of the great-grandson." The two were silent all the way, with some joy, but more anxiety and worry.
After tossing for a long time, Guan Suyi finally gave birth to the child when evening came. In order to protect this bone and blood, she did not dare to slack off when raising the fetus, the nourishing nourishment, the activities of the activity, the body bones were stronger than before, and the fetal position was extremely positive. It only took half a day to give birth to the first child, and it was considered very smooth.
Granny Wen patted the baby twice, wiped the child clean, and wrapped it in a swaddle. Then she knelt down with a stiff smile, "Congratulations, Madam Hexi, she is a little princess."
Guan Suyi said weakly, "Are you still healthy?"
"The little princess is very healthy and full of breath!"
Only then did she smile with relief, and she raised her arms with all her might, "Let Ben Gong hug the child."
Granny Wen hurriedly handed the child to her pillow and complimented her greatly. Although he was not a master, he might be disgusted by the emperor, but he was the eldest daughter and the honor of the princess, so they definitely did not dare to neglect her. I thought I could get a lot of rewards this time, but it seems that all of them have gone to waste.
The palace servants serving in the delivery room were very anxious. The birth of a child by the queen was supposed to be a great event, but the emperor was nearly thirty years old and had no children, so he was eagerly looking forward to the birth of a boy. Now that things have backfired, it is certain that the emperor is disappointed. I hope he will not show it in person and embarrass the queen.
Seeing that the child was safe and healthy, Guan Suyi relaxed her heart and slowly fell asleep. Several stable mothers you push me, I push you, they dare not go out to report. If it wasn't for the emperor hearing that there was no movement in the room and asking louder than louder, they would have wanted to flee.
The concubines and concubines felt something in their hearts. Although they didn't show it on the face, they all gloated and laughed inside. Especially Shen Jieyu, who let out a suffocating breath, secretly said: Although the rumors of the past few months failed to overwhelm the queen, she lost her mind and had an unexpected miscarriage. But God was on Ben Gong's side anyway and didn't let her give birth to the eldest son first. What would the emperor do if he heard the news? I'm afraid you'll have to throw up your sleeves and leave on the spot? For the sake of this child, he can even violate the principle of being a gentleman in the kitchen, which shows how much high expectations are placed on him. The eldest son and the eldest daughter, although there is a word difference, the treatment is a world of difference!
Several stable wives bravely walked out of the delivery room, raised their children with both hands, and forced a smile, "Report to the emperor, the empress gave birth to a little princess, and now both mother and child are safe."
Emperor Shengyuan didn't even look at the child. He walked around the mother and walked into the delivery room. He saw the lady lying on the bed with a pale face, her head was dizzy, and she poked her breath with trembling hands. Then she sat on the edge of the bed with weak legs and feet. She buried her face in her neck and took a deep breath. No one knows how he got through it. The wife is in pain, and he will only suffer more than her; if the wife is afraid, he will only be more afraid than her. He thought of his mother who had died tragically, and heard his wife's continuous screams. He almost kicked the door of the room several times and ordered her to die.
He hugged her tightly, and the fear dissipated little by little.
The emperor didn't even look at the little princess, which made Granny Wen, who was kneeling on the ground, very flustered. The concubines and concubines were happy in their hearts, but they all showed sympathetic expressions on their faces, and whispered, "Poor to see, you were rejected by the emperor as soon as you were born."
Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Zuo stood behind them, feeling as if their hearts were burning with fire, but due to the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, they did not dare to complain, let alone come forward to visit without authorization.
The queen mother stretched out her hand and wanted to hug the little princess, but was quickly taken by Jin Ziyan. The queen mother didn't care about a servant, she just smiled faintly, as if she had foreseen the end of the queen's disfavor. How about being the emperor? Still can't have a son? Unlike her three daughters-in-law, the fetuses are all male grandchildren.
Shen Jieyu coughed and was about to hand over the gift and say a few beautiful words, but she saw the emperor rush out like a whirlwind, and ordered, "Jinzi, Minglan, hurry up and cook the chicken soup, Madam will drink it when she wakes up! Mother-in-law "Old madam, I'd like to trouble you two to stay in the palace to take care of madam for a while, and make her feel at ease."
Then he picked up the child with trembling hands, and asked in a trance, "This is my little princess?" He wanted to hold the child tightly in his arms, but he was afraid of hurting her delicate skin. She was so small, her skin was red, and although her face was wrinkled, she was so cute.
Jin Zi taught him how to hold the child, holding back a smile, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, although the little princess is delicate, as long as you have the right posture, you won't hurt her."
Emperor Shengyuan held the child and stood stiffly in the same place like a wooden man. He wanted to shake it, because he was afraid that she would be dizzy; he wanted to kiss, because he was afraid that the beard would pierce, but he didn't know how to express his emotion and love. No one knew that, rather than a son, he hoped that his wife would give birth to a daughter for him, fully inheriting his wife's intelligence and beauty. The two of them will accompany the child from a small bean to a slim girl, and the process must be full of joy and warmth.
He will treat the child as a jewel in his palm, and even if she wants the stars in the sky, he will definitely pluck them for her.
Emperor Sheng Yuan's eyes were flushed, he slowly raised the little princess, put his ear beside her little face, listened to her weak but steady breathing, and said in a hoarse voice, "This is my little princess, named Chaoyang, titled Zhenguo, Ten thousand households in Shiyi! Baifu, bring the four treasures of the study, I want to formulate a decree to grant amnesty to the world, recall all sinners and refugees, and ask them to pray for the princess of Zhenguo! Reward, everyone in the palace will be rewarded!"
Titled Zhenguo, 10,000 households in food towns, just born to be a prince, this is not like being disappointed and disgusted! Everyone was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to react, and they all knelt down and kowtowed.
The queen gave birth to a daughter, which was far beyond everyone's expectations, but what was even more incomprehensible was that the emperor did not feel disappointed in the slightest. Instead, he lavished rewards and announced it to the world. It took more than a month of joy for him to slowly recover. normal.
The women in the harem were all stunned. At first, they thought that the emperor was to support the queen, so they pretended to be happy, but after a long time, they had to accept the reality: the emperor seemed to like his daughter more than his son, and held the little princess in his arms all day long. In his arms, his posture was more skilled than that of the queen and the wet nurse, and he changed diapers and washed the little clothes and trousers for the little princess by himself.
Once in court, he secretly took the little princess there. Fortunately, the queen found out in time and hurriedly asked Jin Zi to stop her, so there was no joke. The courtiers often saw the emperor flipping through the memorials while holding the little princess in his arms, shaking and coaxing, from disbelief to numbness, and from numbness to accustomed to it.
However, within two months, the news that the emperor loved his daughter like his life spread to everyone, which made the concubines in the whole palace hated, powerless, painful and desperate, and the Guan family breathed a sigh of relief.
However, there are always people who refuse to stop. On this day, the eldest princess entered the palace with a dark face to ask for an interview, followed by a few old people with crane-haired looks and a beautiful girl in full dress. Emperor Shengyuan was holding Guan Suyi, and Guan Suyi was holding Huo Chaoyang. The family of three lay happily under the grape trellis to enjoy the coolness.
"Hugna? Who?" Guan Suyi asked anxiously.
"My mother's niece." Emperor Shengyuan explained, "Ever since my mother was framed to death, the Hu family never interacted with me again in order to protect myself. I searched for the truth several times, but they were unwilling to admit it. , and gave me a lot of wrong clues, which made me more and more wrong. The Queen Mother sent me the ukiyo-e and sent me the ukiyo-e, which solved my doubts. Since then, I have changed my surname to Hu, but never again Don't go to the family home to find relatives." Talking about the past, Emperor Shengyuan was in a very bad mood, and when he saw his daughter's innocent smile, he quickly became happy again.
"Then she entered the capital at this time, I'm afraid it's not as simple as recognizing her relatives? Let's go and have a look." Guan Suyi took her daughter and kissed her. Seeing her husband bring his face close, he also smiled and kissed.
When the three entered the main hall, they saw that the Queen Mother, several princes and concubines, and the little grandson had also arrived, and they were talking to the old people with a very respectful attitude. A young girl sat under the eldest princess, her blue eyes were extremely deep, as if she could capture the soul.
"What kind of wind blows several clan elders?" Emperor Sheng Yuan helped his wife walk over and sat down, not even leaving a corner of his eye for the girl. The girl's expectant expression turned gloomy, her head bowed slightly, and she remained silent.
Even though the old people were highly respected in the clan and said that they were right, they didn't dare to make a fuss in front of Kunal, who was the monarch, and quickly stood up and saluted. The girl also bowed down and bowed, with a graceful voice.
"Does the emperor still remember, this is your cousin Hugna." One of the elders said, "I heard that you have no children under your knees, so I sent Hugna to serve you. Her body is full of the queen mother. Blood, the combination of the two of you will surely give birth to the purest descendants of blood."
Before waiting for Emperor Shengyuan to answer, another person said, "I have already inquired about it. Although the Queen was born in a noble family, the family has been passed down from generation to generation. In this generation, they have only one daughter, and their blood has been cut off. It can be seen that the Guan family's women do not It is good to have a good life. It is still unknown whether you can give birth to a direct son for the emperor. In order to prevent the blood of the royal family from withering, please also ask the emperor to favor his concubines. A well-bred one can be delivered right away.”
It was not the first time that others had given the Kunarsai woman in front of him, but Guan Suyi still felt angry, disgusted, and helpless. As a "virtuous queen", not only can she not refute, she even has to help persuade a few words, but who can understand her pain like a knife
No, Kunal understands. Not only can he understand, but he will try his best to protect her, so even if he is angry and disgusting, she can endure it. Just thinking of this, a large hand quietly reached out and patted her stiff knee, causing her to lower her eyes and smile.
"Several clan elders can manage my harem, but they can't control my trouser belt. You can send as many women as you want. Anyway, they are all widows. They don't mind, and I don't care." The princess said in annoyance, "I'm sorry, madam, for letting my daughter hear such nonsense. I will pay attention to it in the future."
Guan Suyi shook her head and smiled.
"But the queen can't give birth to a son..." A clan elder became anxious.
"Not to mention that the queen is still young, she will be able to give birth to many children for me in the future, even if she can't give birth, what does it matter?" Emperor Shengyuan hugged the little princess and spoiled him, "The Jiuli tribe once gave birth to three matriarchs who led the way. My clan expands the territory and fights in all directions; not to mention the distance, just look at the imperial sister, and her ability is not inferior to any man. If I have no direct son in the future, I will establish a princess, what do you think of the imperial sister?"
Guan Suyi was stunned, and looked at her husband dumbfounded, but he was hugged into his arms with a long smile, and declared, "I don't want sons in this life, you rest your mind."
The eldest princess, who had always had a gloomy face, suddenly clapped the table and laughed, "Canonization of the crown princess? You are so brave! If the queen remains childless, the army in this hall will be the sharpest weapon in the crown princess's hands!"
Several clan elders were stunned by his shocking thoughts, and their persuasion was fruitless, so they had to leave in a hurry with the girl whose face was ashen. These words, Emperor Shengyuan had no intention of concealing them, but they spread to the whole palace in a short time. Only then did the concubines determine the emperor's attitude, and then fell into despair.
I would rather have a princess than a concubine, the emperor is really giving up on the queen! However, this infatuation, they had a chance to get it! Sorry, sorry!
Some courtiers persuaded, some impeached, and some remained silent, but the emperor killed as long as his heirs, which was not a serious matter for the Han people who valued his descendants, and it stopped over time. After two years, the queen became pregnant again, and finally gave birth to a prince, and then there was no news. The emperor never favored other concubines, but only held a pair of children in the palm of his hand and loved them.
Princess Zhenguo looks like a queen, and His Royal Highness looks like Emperor Shengyuan, but her temperament is completely opposite. Princess Zhenguo is good at wielding knives and guns, and was taken to the military camp by the eldest princess when she was less than ten years old. His Royal Highness, however, is very well-behaved and honest, and his mind is incomparably smarter. At the age of six, he was taken to the imperial study by the emperor to manage administration, as if he could not wait to hand over the heavy burden on his shoulders.
Guan Suyi has sons and daughters, and a husband who never leaves her. She has no regrets in this life.
