Wishful Things

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager." The inner eunuch hurriedly saluted, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, a letter has just been sent from the palace, saying that Concubine Ronggui is about to give birth..."

And it is said that Yangshui was broken first, so the situation is a little tricky.

Emperor Qingming's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he immediately stood up.

This unborn child is very important to him, and Concubine Rong's birth is also a major event that he values ​​most recently.

"It's such a big happy event, you have to go back to the palace to have a look." The queen mother followed suit.

Although she didn't care about this matter at all, she still had to do the look of surprise full of anticipation.

"Yes." Emperor Qingming replied, "Queen Mother, let's visit Jingrong another day."

"Ma'am is leaving now?" Princess Jingrong hurriedly grabbed the Queen Mother's hand, her eyes full of reluctance.

"I'll come back sometime." The Queen Mother patted the back of her hand, and said in a warm voice: "Remember to eat well, and don't always make children angry with Jiaojiao."

The eldest princess reluctantly nodded her head and watched the Queen Mother and Emperor Qingming leave.

"Farewell to Your Majesty, Empress Dowager."

Xu Mingyi, who was standing in the outer hall, saluted.

The queen mother looked at her again, and nodded slightly with a smile.

Xu Mingyi was slightly taken aback.

The empress dowager recognizes her?

Or maybe he guessed her identity - after all, in Manjing, Jiaojiao is only a friend of her age.

However, the expression of the empress dowager smiling and nodding just now somehow made her feel a little familiar...

It seems to have a similar feeling to someone...

Who is it?

Xu Ming was engrossed in his thoughts, when a friend's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Zhao Zhao, did you hear that just now, Concubine Rong Gui is about to give birth."

Xu Mingyi came back to his senses and nodded.

"heard it."

"I don't know if I can give birth to a prince." Princess Yufeng said: "If it is really a prince, the tail of the Rong family will really go up to the sky."

Xu Mingyi smiled.

If you say that, you are destined to go to the sky.

In Yongfu Palace, everyone was busy up and down.

The queen stood guard outside the delivery room, orderly commanding the palace people.

Although she is inexperienced in childbirth, she has profound experience watching the concubines in the harem give birth.

"The Emperor is here—"

The inner eunuch's singing came, and the queen got up from her chair to salute.

"What's wrong?"

Emperor Qingming asked as soon as he stepped into the outer room.

"For the first child, it is inevitable that it will be slower." The queen said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

It's useless to be anxious, after all, he doesn't have the ability to go in and give birth by himself.

Emperor Qingming nodded and looked in the direction of the delivery room frequently. He seemed to be calm and calm, but there were many emotions in his heart.

He has not had an heir for ten years——

Time passed and the sky gradually darkened.

Concubine Rong's voice in the delivery room became weaker and weaker, as if she had exhausted herself.

Seeing the palace maids going back and forth holding the blood-stained water basin, Emperor Qingming, who had been waiting here for a long time, gradually began to be unable to sit still.

He wanted to say to the midwife in charge of the delivery, "No matter what, we must keep the child", but when he got to the point of his mouth, he didn't say it because of the name of Renjun.

He thought that those midwives must also know what to do—

When Emperor Qingming felt restless, he suddenly heard the surprised voices of midwives in the delivery room: "It's born, it's born!"

"Out!"

Soon, a midwife walked out quickly, and said with a happy face: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has given birth to a little prince!"

Emperor Qingming paused for a moment, and his heart was excited——

"Okay...rewards! Everyone in Yongfu Palace has rewards!"

After saying that, she turned around and walked in front of the queen, and said with a smile, "Did the queen hear that? It's a prince, and we have another prince."

"..." The queen nodded.

This really stumped her, she really didn't know how to answer this, so as to show that she was not so thick-skinned.

The news of Concubine Rong's birth spread quickly.

In Yongfu Palace, there were stacks of congratulatory gifts from all over the place.

On this day, Concubine Rong was leaning on the bed, while being fed soup by the palace maid, while listening to her confidant mother read the gift list.

"Your Majesty, do you want to accept all of these?" Mammy asked softly.

"Why not accept it?" Concubine Rong asked casually.

The mother was deliberating, and was about to say something, when suddenly a maidservant came in and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is here."

Concubine Rong frowned slightly.

"Prince?"

What is he here for?

From the moment she gave birth to the child, knowing that she was a prince, some thoughts could not help but quietly changed.

"It has been five days since the little prince was born, and it is reasonable for His Royal Highness to visit the younger brother." The confidant mother glanced at her noble concubine, with a hint of reminder in her tone.

Concubine Rong gave a faint "hmm".

The prince was quickly invited in, and talked with Concubine Rong through the screen in front of the bed.

"These are some little gadgets from my childhood. I kept them all the time. I specially sent them to my fourth brother today." While the prince was speaking, the eunuch beside him handed a box to Concubine Rong's confidant mother.

The mother smiled and held it in front of Concubine Rong, opened the box, and saw that there were rattles, red gold rattles and other things inside, all of which were well preserved: "Your Majesty, look—"

Concubine Rong twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Your Highness has a heart."

The confidant mother came out from behind the screen, and asked with a smile: "Does Your Highness want to see the little prince?"

The prince's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he nodded quickly.

Mammy led him into the compartment.

Looking at the little baby lying in the cradle, the smile in the prince's eyes grew wider.

very nice!

It can be seen that this must be a very healthy child.

Not as hopeless as he—

Sister Xu was right, the imperial concubine really gave birth to a younger brother for him.

With this younger brother, the royal father no longer has to worry about the matter of heirs, and finally someone can take over the position of the crown prince from him.

Or he was too happy, and when his mind was agitated, his throat suddenly felt a little itchy, the prince turned around quickly, covered his mouth with his sleeve and coughed a few times.

"I'll see my fourth brother some other day." He said to the nanny, "When he is older and the weather is warmer, I will take someone to carry him out to play!"

Mammy smiled and nodded.

The prince's heart is simple and pure, it can be seen that he really likes the little prince.

After the prince left, Concubine Rong reprimanded her confidant in a low voice.

"How can I take him to see the child... His sick body, what if he gets sick! He coughed like that just now, I was terrified to hear that..."

"His Majesty's disease is caused by the fetus, it is an old disease, the imperial doctor said, it will not be passed on..."

"That's not auspicious! I think he can't sit still..." Concubine Rong sneered and said, "If you want to fight, you have to see if you have the life."

Mammy's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, you must be careful with your words..."

In the past, the empress would not say such a thing, but it's not important to confine herself to confinement, so she lost her mind?

It is said that monstrous wealth and charming eyes, this is not a good omen——

Mammy lowered her voice to remind, Concubine Rong waved her hands annoyed, seeing that there was no one else in the inner room, she said: "Okay, don't talk about that—didn't you say there was a letter from there?"

When it came to the letter, Mammy looked around without a trace, and took out the letter paper hidden in her sleeve.

...

It is night, the moon and stars are sparse.

In Zhen Guogong Mansion, in Xi Garden, Xu Mingyi suddenly woke up from a nightmare.
