I don't know if Prince Yu did something bad again. On the day of Xiaonian, I heard that the Rong family was looking at the girl everywhere and wanted to marry Rong Shi. ¡ª¡ªSong Yin got the news, and her heart was filled with ups and downs. She sat in front of the case in a daze for a while, comforting herself that Rong Shi trusted her heart, so she had nothing to worry about. It's just that the old lady and my wife have made up their minds not to hire her. They used to be so flattering, but now they are suddenly thrown into the quagmire. The warmth and coldness of human beings and the harshness of the world. She is young, and it is really an eye-opener to experience it.
"It won't be long, Guo Guiren's delivery date is just around the corner, and everything will eventually come to an end." She ignored them and steeled herself. The imperial kitchen brought in the amount of materials for the New Year's Eve banquet for her to review. She read the order: "Sixty-five pounds of pork, three vegetables and ducks." , twenty kilograms of mutton meat, fifteen kilograms of deer meatis this the amount for one table?"
The eunuch in charge of the dining room said: "Only the ingredients on the royal table of the Long Live Lord, as well as those of the empress dowager, empress and concubines, have been prepared in separate stalls. Please look through them later."
She nodded, feeling melancholy in her heart. Can the emperor still host this year's banquet? His energy is getting worse day by day, and if he ignores the government for many days, the government and the public will eventually become suspicious. He has been very diligent since he came to the throne, and his royal family is almost constantly attending to affairs. If it doesn't get better in the short term, the disease will definitely not be concealed. How can an emperor with no heirs retain people's hearts?
The Ministry of Internal Affairs does not care about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but there are still rumors that Prince Yu was implicated in the loan of official money by his slaves. At this time, Cheng Zi was 'handled' an errand to think about his mistakes in the palace, but although he was not at the military aircraft, he could not reach the Everywhere. He had already received the news about the construction of Zi Palace in Bingjiao Hutong. When he was talking to Ama that day, he mentioned it vaguely in his words. Knowing that he had a chance to win, he became more and more unmoved.
This is the situation now. It depends on who God favors more. If the emperor can wait until his elder brother falls to the throne and eradicates Prince Yu, then the throne will still be with this branch; if the emperor's body is not up to par and cannot wait for that moment, then the succession of the emperor's brother to the throne will be logical, and the sky in the Forbidden City will change. .
She held Chen Tiao and looked outside blankly. It was so difficult to support an infant emperor. Everyone had to grit their teeth and run forward. The emperor's edict should be ready by now, right? Has it been handed over to Bachelor Rong?
She closed the book and handed it back to him, asking the eunuch to watch and handle it. After returning from the imperial dining room, he met Ama at the gate of Longzong. He had just gone to Yangxin Hall to pay her respects. He looked up at her with a secretive expression.
The two men walked back slowly, Songyin said: "Look at the holy bow"
Shuming sighed, "There are only a handful of bones left. It seems that time is running out."
"Did you hear that the Minister of Military and Aircraft was summoned?"
Shu Ming shook his head, "I slept all day, and I didn't say anything when I went in. Lu Run took a look from a distance, and he probably couldn't breathe, and his mouth was wide open. To put it bluntly, it's better to die than do this. It's already this time, why do you have to drag me along? I can't keep you anymore, so why not pass the throne to Mr. Six, and everyone deserves to die and live their life, that's it."
The Tong family must not die. After all, they have never been enemies with Prince Yu. He is dissatisfied with the two things, that is, letting "Yu" enter the palace and promoting his status. It's the Rong family that's going to die. It's hard to say what will happen to them once Yan Sui comes to power.
"It's time to straighten things out, let their family be full of lustful wives!" Speaking of this statement, he was even more angry than Songyin. He was angry that his daughter could not get married before Rongsil. . For example, if the marriage falls through and one party starts a family first, the remaining one will definitely be abandoned. "Why are their families so impatient? Are they anxious to separate from the Tong family? Or are they bullying us for being difficult to marry, and want to see our jokes?"
Songyin saw that Ama was filled with indignation, but he was not so angry anymore. It is said that it is difficult to marry, but she is indeed difficult to marry. In the past, when I was an official, no mother-in-law could tolerate a daughter-in-law who could stand up to her as soon as she entered the door. Later, my reputation was so bad that I lost hope.
She smiled and said, "I can't get married. Don't you want me to be the housekeeper? Just like you, I will work as a clerk in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the rest of my life. Then I will choose a smart brother from the younger generation to take care of him and take care of the house." The karma is passed on to him.¡±
The statement said: "Yes, it has been passed around and passed on to others. I mean if you have a son in the future, it is better to pass it on to a nephew than a grandnephew. Besides, parents in the world have the same heart. Who doesn't hope that their children will be well? , I want you to be an old girl for the rest of your life?"
She snarled, "It doesn't matter whether you want it or not. Don't be serious. Who told you not to have a son!"
Speaking of the fundamentals, not having a son will always hurt, but you have gotten used to it too early, and don¡¯t force it in your life. Shuming walked into the Yamen with his hands behind his back and asked, "What are you going to eat for lunch today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a long "What's going on" came from behind. The eunuch from the respect room came to the front and said, "Go back to the adults.", news came from Jingqi Pavilion that Master Guo's water broke and she was about to give birth. "
"Hurry up and take a look." Shu Ming winked at Songyin, "Be careful and you can't make any mistakes." He turned around and asked, "Has the Emperor reported back?"
The eunuch said: "When we return to the General Manager Lu, he will definitely know about it by now."
Songyin hurriedly walked out, signaling to his cronies to pass the news to Rongshi as he walked. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. She had imagined this day countless times, but when it came to the end, she still felt urgent and at a loss. It is very common for a palace concubine to give birth to a child, but it is of great significance until now.
It was sunny for a few days at the end of the year, but then there was endless wind and snow, and the sky was also gray at noon. Songyin stepped up her pace and ran to Jingqi Pavilion. The people sent to serve her filed in behind her, and the cold palace that had always been neglected suddenly became lively. Master Guo's Enie and aunt had already entered the palace to accompany her one month before she gave birth. Although they were both wives, they were able to steer the family, and the palace was full of capable people. They seemed to have fallen into the heart of the sea. , no reliance. Seeing Songyin, he stepped forward and called the young manager, "Look"
Songyin reassured them, "It doesn't matter. The midwives are all carefully selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and are reliable. My wife and uncle just need to take a good look at the noble man and wait for the little master to land and carry him over."
Mrs. Guo said tremblingly, "I'm a little scared. Will the emperor come?"
Songyin slowly shook his head, "I can't come. There are rules in the palace. The emperor is waiting for news in Yangxin Hall, and then the eunuch will report to the emperor."
Entering the door and looking at Master Guo, she was lying there with bright eyes, "I'm about to give birth."
Songyin hummed, "It hurts a little. Just hold on and get over it."
"Can I have a princess?" She was still thinking about Concubine Hui's daughter, because she had met her once, and she wanted to have such a beautiful child so that she could dress her up in the future.
Songyin said: "It depends on God's will. If God wants the little master to achieve something, I'm afraid it can't be a girl. In fact, my brother is also very good, smart and capable. If he is older, he can protect Eni. .¡±
But she was worried, "What if he looks like a high-ranking official from Ximen?"
Songyin was stunned for a moment and realized that she shouldn't have read that kind of book to her, which made her mind confused. But I really can't say for sure whether the emperor's love for men will be passed on to his children But now is not the time to worry about this, the first priority is to let the children be born. She comforted her blindly, "Then why do you take what you say in the book seriously? They are all written for people to cancel. Please relax! What we are worried about right now is not this. We need to give birth to the little master safely first, and the rest We¡¯ll talk about it later. Take care of him and don¡¯t let him read random books like you, that¡¯s it.¡±
Guo Guiren was wronged and said, "You didn't bring those idle books to me."
She replied in a low voice: "It's not my fault. I won't let you see this in the future. You should calm down and give birth to the baby first!"
When the labor pain suddenly came, she frowned and took a breath of cold air, "No, you have to buy more for me later. I am lonely in the palace, and I have these notebooks to pass the time." Holding the red silk with both hands, she lowered her head. Looking at his belly, "You said giving birth to a child to someone I don't know very well, what am I trying to do?"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After entering the palace, isn¡¯t that how you live?
She squatted and wiped her sweat, "Don't think so much, just think about your princess! It won't be long before you can meet her."
She closed her eyes and nodded, "I'm not afraid. I have the strength and I will definitely be able to give birth to her."
Songyin exited and saw that the Forbidden Army was already guarding everywhere. When he looked at the door, he saw that Rongshi was there, holding a knife on his waist, with a bright red tassel hanging in front of his chest, fluttering in the wind. He looked solemn and nodded gently to her. She felt at ease, knowing that he was on guard. Regardless of whether Guo Guiren's baby is a boy or a girl, at least he can be kept safe and sound.
She turned around and ordered someone to bring a charcoal basin to the pavilion. Because the charcoal burned so intensely, the window of the delivery room had to be opened a slit for ventilation. She stood under the window and assigned the eunuchs to stand guard, "Keep a close eye, if there is even the slightest mistake, everyone will not survive. Everyone in the group must also pay attention to each other. If anyone is suspicious, the people from the guard office outside are waiting to invite you to the urn."
Everyone responded in unison. Her words were not only meant for those outside, but also for the people serving inside. Everyone should be careful, even if Prince Yu's people are mixed up, they would not dare to act rashly in this situation.
Looking at the ¡®door¡¯ again, he was no longer there, probably going south to ask for orders.
Songyin stood under the eaves, feeling fried in his heart. Her mother came in a hurry, everything was ready, and she was here to listen to the news. North KoreaHe glanced at the door and said, "How's it going?"
She said: "I just got into bed, and it's early!" She heard a mournful cry in the room, and her heart tightened. The wind started to pick up, and she stamped her feet, feeling that the blood on her body was frozen and she couldn't relax.
Shuming came closer and said softly: "I don't know what went wrong in Yangxin Palace. According to my wishes, it should be announced that the cabinet ministers have entered the palace to await orders, but there is no movement at all."
Songyin was surprised, "Master Rong didn't come either?"
"Who can come in if we don't have the will?" Shu Ming shook his head, "Long live the Lord, maybe he is ill and confused. This time, the Yangxin Palace is tied up. I don't know what the plan is."
"If the emperor doesn't give the order, I'm afraid Rong Shi won't be able to use his hands and feet." She suddenly felt horrified, "Amma, has Long Live Lord already"
Shuming stared and murmured: "No way Could it be that the secret is not mourning just waiting for Master Guo's pregnancy?"
Nothing is impossible. They are separated from each other when it comes to imperial matters. At this moment, Lu Run is probably the only one who knows the situation.
The wind was strong, blowing the red tassels on their warm hats on their heads, and Songyin stared at the door of the pavilion blankly with his sleeves inserted. Guo Guiren's screams came from inside, one after another, so terrifying. It seems that things are not going well. Two hours have passed and there has been no good news. Seeing that it was getting dark, the little eunuch held up the top pole to hang the lamp. The snow became heavier and passed through the warm light, making noises and scratching.
There are a group of people inside who are busy, and they are milling around outside. The birth of this child was not just about welcoming a new life, he carried the hopes of them all. The emperor desperately needed an elder brother, and so did they. It is easier to support a little emperor than to compete with Prince Yu.
There was a sudden clang, which startled people. Looking up, the young eunuch in the corridor opposite was carrying hot water into the palace. He accidentally knocked over the copper basin and hit the person's temple like a thunderbolt.
Shu Ming took a breath hoarsely, not wanting to scold his mother, gritted his teeth and said: "Shacai, what are you busy with? Is your buttocks itchy?"
Songyin looked back, she hadn¡¯t heard Guo Guiren¡¯s voice for a while, and wondered what was going on inside. Just when I was worried, I suddenly heard the cry of a child, which was shocking. Songyin hurriedly squeezed in, where several mothers were scrubbing their children's packages. She glanced at Guo Guiren, she was just tired, nothing serious. I asked him if he was a boy or a girl, and my mother said, "The young steward should go to the imperial court and speak to me. He's an elder brother."
¡°Whether he is my elder brother or not, I have to say he is my elder brother. She knew it, but she had to see it clearly. The child was wrapped in swaddling clothes, and Ma'er opened a corner to let her take a look. There was a small teapot hanging between the two weak legs. It was different from that of a girl, which meant that it must be a boy. She was overjoyed and told Mrs. Guo and her uncle to keep an eye on her, "I'll go back and tell the good news to Lord Long Live."
She came out of the palace and told her Ama, "It's my brother. I'll go to the Yangxin Palace."
"The clan's mansion is waiting for news at the inner left door. I'll send them away. You go first to announce the good news and see what the emperor has to say."
The clan mansion is in the hands of Prince Yu, and all births, old age, sickness and death of the entire palace must be recorded there. When a child is born in the palace, they are the first to be notified, regardless of male or female, so Prince Yu will soon get the news, and he will definitely be restless when he finds out that it is an elder brother. This was a critical moment. He was only one step away from the throne, and he would never let a child who sucked milk get the upper hand.
She walked up the aisle carrying a ram's horn lantern. The snow was so heavy and dense that I didn¡¯t even bother to hold an umbrella. Clusters fell into my collar, so I just curled my neck and moved forward. The door is locked at night, but as a rule, a passage is reserved for the concubine to give birth directly to the Yangxin Hall. She passed through the Jiaotai Hall and entered the Zunyi Gate. The emperor could no longer sit and rested in the Yanxi Hall. She hurriedly entered the hall, and there was a person standing under the crystal lamp, with his back turned, his figure as straight as a green bamboo.
Her feet slowed down a little, and he turned around. His thin side face looked a little haggard, "She's giving birth?"
Songyin hummed, "It's a brother. Mother and son are both safe. I'll call the master and tell him to be happy."
He nodded, "It's an elder brother"
As she followed him, she was surprised that there were fewer people in the palace than usual. She was confused and didn't know how to ask, so she opened the curtain and went in. The incense in the bedroom was so strong that it was almost choking. She tucked her nose and turned around to look at the bed. The emperor was lying on his back, with a lifeless face and thin cheeks. The young king who was once so glorious has become like this in just over half a year. Songyin's nose felt sore and she called him softly, "Long live the Lord"
He heard it,He turned his head slightly, with hope remaining in his eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice: "How is it?"
Songyin changed her tone to a brisk tone and said with a smile: "Congratulations to my master, Guo Guiren has added an elder brother to you. The slave saw that the elder brother was strong and dancing with his hands and feet. Say hello to Emperor Ama."
A smile appeared on the emperor's face, and his cheeks flushed even more because of his excitement. A breath rumbled in his throat, as if he was desperately trying his best to shout, "Ting Rang Ting Rang"
Lu Run crouched slightly, but did not step forward. He stopped two steps away and listened to the order. I saw the bright yellow figure on the bed half-sitting up as if reflecting the light, but it didn't look like sitting down. It was like a bent fire stick. It made a strange posture and stretched out its hand eagerly, "The edict issue the edict." ¡¡±
Lu Run hesitated for a moment, tilted his head slightly, his eyebrows were pure and sleepy, "You saidwhat edict?"
The emperor was stunned, and the expression on his face became weird. From enlightenment to despair, every frame was magnified.
Songyin¡¯s hair stood on end, fearing that he would fail. Why was there not even a single person in front of him who was in danger? She wanted to ask Lu Run, but suddenly she realized something. She didn't want to believe something, but she couldn't believe it. She had a vague premonition of failure. After all their calculations, it was of no use, but they still missed it.
The person on the dragon bed began to cough violently and spit out a mouthful of blood, staining the rich carpet of the Jade Hall in front of the bed red. Then the person fell down like a kite with a broken string, half of his body was on the bed, and half of his body was hanging on the edge of the bed, his arms were stretched out and swinging leisurely, and there was no more sound. .
