The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 291 Envy

Because of the management of the house manager and the support of Xu Wanning's money, Erlang Ping's full moon banquet was quite successful.

There were a lot of female relatives here today. Xu Wanning was already pregnant for the third time, so everyone was not surprised. What made these female relatives curious was Jingshu, the eldest son of the Duke's family.

Jingshu has rarely gone out to socialize since she became pregnant, but the news that she is pregnant with twins has already spread throughout the aristocratic circle.

How can these female relatives suppress their gossiping thoughts?

Coming here to watch Brother Erlang Ping's full moon ceremony is the next best thing, and everyone is even more eager to see the state of the prince's wife.

But this distinguished wife of the Crown Prince only came to have her breasts ordered before the banquet. She was still protected by a large group of servants and women. Looking through her single clothes, her belly was indeed swollen higher than that of ordinary pregnant women, but her face was She still looks pretty, but her appearance has not lost even a single bit due to pregnancy.

Being able to join the famous Zhenguo Palace, being protected by a heroic and heroic husband like Li Ling, and now pregnant with twins, how could Jing Shu not be jealous of her good fortune.

All the female relatives were very sad to see it, but they could only swallow the sour water in their stomachs.

Zhao Yuan'er is a simple-minded person and has always been at odds with the two ladies of the palace. Just as Jing Shu was escorted away by the servants and wives, she couldn't hold back her yin and yang anger and said: "This prince's wife is so arrogant. She is pregnant." She is so delicate that she even ran away from my nephew's full moon banquet just in time for the occasion."

Xu Wanning's sister-in-law, Mrs. Guo, happened to be sitting at the same table as Zhao Yuan'er. After hearing her divisive words, she couldn't help but reply: "The princess is wrong. The wife of the crown prince in this mansion has always been on good terms with my aunt. When I gave birth to this child, my uncle was away on business and was away from the house, so the prince's wife was in charge. It can be seen that the closer the relationship is, the less need to be constrained by face-related matters."

Zhao Yuan'er sneered and echoed: "Haha, there is no cat in this world that doesn't eat fishy food."

Princess Jin pretended to be surprised and said: "I have heard people in the palace mention this matter."

At this moment, Jingshu, the daughter of the Shen family who was recognized by everyone as having a good life, felt unwell as soon as she came back from outside. Eminem quickly helped her go to bed to rest.

"It's time to give birth." After saying that, Li Ling patted his wife and comforted her softly: "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Seeing the two of them making sarcastic remarks to each other, Mrs. Guo smiled and said: "I heard my aunt say that although Gong Ji has been in the palace for more than half a year, the eldest son of the Li family has not touched her. "

Jingshu was pregnant with twins, so it was naturally more difficult. Now that it was time for her to give birth, Li Ling was taking great care of his pregnant wife.

Li Ling replied: "The eldest brother and the third brother were greeting you in front. I didn't trust you, so I came back early."

Jingshu nodded towards Li Ling.

Princess Jin gently waved her fan and said with a smile: "Tell me, this daughter of the Shen family has a good life. Not only can she marry into a noble family, but she is also favored by her husband. Now she is pregnant again. Wow, she is really the best in this world. All the good things have been taken over by others."

As soon as Guo said these words, the other female family members were silent for a long time.

Li Ling knew that his wife was always cautious, so he replied: "I, Li Ling, have worked for Da Qi through life and death. I have never asked for privileges from the imperial court based on a little merit like those generals. This time it is just because my wife's birth of twins is more risky than ordinary childbirth." , I just invited the imperial physician to take charge, I don’t think there’s anything inappropriate about this.”

These noble ladies have never heard of a man who would not touch his concubines even when his wife is pregnant.

As soon as Zhao Yuan'er heard this, she immediately spoke up again: "What do you mean by doting alone? Doesn't Princess Jin not know that the emperor gave a palace concubine to the eldest son of the Li family last year?"

If he had been touched by Li Ling, it would be impossible for him to become an artist in the palace.

As soon as Guo said these words, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the table.

After a while, Li Ling also came back from the front yard. Seeing his pregnant wife's face looking tired, Li Ling felt distressed and said, "Are you tired? I told you before that you don't have to go over. Look at you, but you won't listen."

Before she could calm down, Li Ling saw that his wife was acting strange and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?"

Zhao Yuan'er said sarcastically: "Mrs. Xu is really powerful. She even knows about such things?"

Li Ling sat on the edge of the bed, gently caressed his wife's bulging belly with his big hands, and said softly to the child who was about to be born: "Good boy, don't make your mother work too hard. Be obedient, and Daddy will take care of you."

I love you."

Seeing Li Ling coming over to chat again, Jing Shu smiled at him and said, "I went over to take a look and then came back. How could I not take a look at Erlang's full moon banquet? But you, why aren't you greeting me in the front yard? How could you be like this?"

Will you be back soon?"

To be honest, this child was hard-won. At the moment when she was about to welcome them, Jingshu only had expectations in her heart, but she didn't have the slightest fear.

As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, Jingshu suddenly felt a sudden movement in her belly, followed by bursts of cramping pain.

Mrs. Guo glanced at the superficial Zhao Yuan'er indifferently, and said with a sneer: "It's not that I have magical powers. It's just that I came to visit my aunt a few days ago, and happened to hear her mention that Sister Zhuang has reached the age of enlightenment and wants to hire a master.

i for

She recommended several female masters of red chess and chess, and she said that there was already a lute master in the palace, and it was the concubine who was given by the palace. I heard that the concubine was given to the heir of the Li family by the palace, so I reluctantly

I couldn't help but ask around out of curiosity."

After waiting for quite a while, Princess Jin sighed and said: "I really didn't expect that there really are such dedicated people in this world as mentioned in the book. This daughter of the Shen family, hey! She is really lucky."

As she said that, she showed a smile that looked like she was gloating over someone else's misfortune: "How dedicated I am to the heir apparent of the Li family, haha, that's all."

Zhao Yuan'er couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Mrs. Guo and closed her mouth in a sullen voice.

Jing Shu looked at Li Ling's nervous look and said with a smile: "The delivery date has just arrived. I think it will take a few more days. The imperial doctor is responsible for the errands in the palace. You are so anxious to invite him.

If I don’t give birth for a while, if I delay the affairs of the nobles in the palace, wouldn’t it be a sin for us?”

As he said that, he supported his wife to lean on the soft pillow and said softly: "The delivery date is in the next few days, so we must be extra careful. I have invited Dr. Zhang to come to the house to take charge, and I have also arranged some important errands."

Everything has been explained, I have applied for leave with the Holy Father, and I will be waiting at home for the next few days for you to give birth."

Although Li Ling is a military general, he has silently learned what he should do at this moment a long time ago.

Li Ling stood up and called Amu Ziyun and others. When everyone heard that Jingshu had activated, the women suddenly became panicked.

Li Ling was extremely calm. He calmly ordered everyone: "Ah Mu will go to the inner room to accompany the wife first. When the wife gives birth, the mother will also stay by her side. Ziyun went to the side hall to invite the two midwives.

, Danzhu went to the front yard to invite Doctor Zhang to the outer room, Bilu went to boil hot water, and Granny Li took out the swaddling clothes and other things that had been prepared."

At this moment, Li Ling, the general, seemed to be more experienced than the experienced midwife.
