Chapter 110: Liang's Production

That night, the imperial concubine called for water several times, and the next morning Chunjia went to the Xingxin Hall to watch things before dawn as usual, because there was no need to greet her now, Yun Fenghuang didn't get up until the sun was high, and she was sitting lazily in front of the dressing table After tidying up, Zhu E from the outside came in quickly and told: "Your Majesty, concubine Xuan has sent someone to say that the Liang family seems to have activated. Concubine Xuan has never given birth, and she is in a hurry now. I want to invite you to sit in the town!"

"Accounting, it's indeed these few days." Yun Fenghuang looked at the bronze mirror and told Qingdu, "Be quicker with your hands and feet."

Qingdu hurriedly combed her into a bun, picked out a few hairpins and put them on, and waited with others to change her dress. The chariot outside was ready, seeing the attendants coming out surrounded by the concubine Xian, he hurriedly Invite her to board the chariot.

In this way, we arrived at Jiangwu Garden, where Concubine Xuan lives, which is a fine house located in the maple forest. In autumn, the maple forest is so red that it will dye the fog in the forest into a crimson color, hence the name.

However, the royal family only came here in midsummer to escape the heat, and only the palace people who had been stationed for many years could see this kind of scenery.

At this moment, the maple leaves are green, and although the mist in the forest has not yet dissipated under the cover of dense branches and leaves, it is just a uniform milky white, like a snow-colored gauze, ethereal and vague.

People walk among them, adding a bit of ecstasy, as if they are going away with the wind at any time.

"The empress is here!" Concubine Xuan's dress is bright, her face is beautiful, she is standing under the door of hanging flowers with her sleeves rolled up, surrounded by mountains and mist, she looks like a fairy concubine, but the eagerness on her face dilutes the fairy aura, seeing the chariot fall , took the lead to meet her quickly, twisted her handkerchief, and said anxiously, "The people around Mrs. Liang have just reported that she seems to be giving birth. According to the imperial doctor's order, I prepared a delivery room for her early. At this moment, the person was sent in, but... she has been screaming, and I don't know what's wrong, I feel very worried when I hear it!"

Yun Fenghuang frowned and said, "Have Wen Po and the imperial physician arrived? What did they say?"

Concubine Xuan said: "Wen Po has already gone in, and the imperial doctor is still on the way...Wen Po said there was nothing wrong, but I was scared in my heart."

She turned slightly pale when she said this, as if frightened.

"What are you afraid of?" However, Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "When Mrs. Liang was sent to you from the palace, several imperial physicians took the pulse and said that both mother and daughter are fine. You are also taking good care of them these days. What could go wrong? It is difficult for women to give birth after all, but since Mrs. Wen said it’s okay, they must be more experienced than us who have never given birth. Calm down, follow me to the door of the delivery room and wait to be a mother and concubine stop."

Doesn't this lowly maid forget to shake the pot? ? ?

Concubine Xuan was so angry that she choked, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes."

In this way, she was not nervous anymore, and she began to think about how to shirk responsibility if Liang's birth did not go well.

After all, judging by Yun Fenghuang's appearance, if there is something wrong with the Liang family, maybe she will be charged with not taking good care of the emperor's heir right away?

While thinking about it, the second concubine arrived at the door of the delivery room, and sure enough there were screams from inside, high pitched and sharp, it sounded creepy.

Concubine Xuan's face turned pale when she just recovered, she looked at Yun Fenghuang, this Xian concubine was extremely calm, she was still turning her head and whispering to the accompanying palace servants to go back and borrow Yue Xiaozhu to fetch her a drink The usual tea came: "This is Liang's first child, I'm afraid it will take some time, so bring some refreshments by the way, I'm afraid I will have to sit here for a long time today."

"My concubine is really restless listening to Mrs. Liang's movements." Concubine Xuan couldn't help but taunted, "So I sent someone to invite the concubine Xian to come over as a companion. Don't worry about it, this composure really makes the concubine feel ashamed. After all, Mrs. Liang was also a member of the empress's palace, serving the empress for a while."

The implication is that Yun Fenghuang is harsh to the people below, Liang Shi is fighting for his life inside, and she still wants to eat and drink.

"Who told you that your knees are empty?" Yun Fenghuang said without raising his head when he heard the words, "I already have a pair of children in this palace, so why panic about the scene of childbirth? Mrs. Liang just entered now , Mrs. Wen didn't come out to say anything, so it can be seen that everything is going well. You are panicking now, so it's no wonder that you need to invite Ben Gong to come over to sit in charge - otherwise, when Liang Shi really starts giving birth, you won't pass out? By then Lili How can it be decent if there is no one outside to preside over the overall situation?"

Concubine Xuan gritted her teeth secretly, and said with a snort, "I'm just a concubine who belongs to me and others. Hearing Liang's movements, I think that if I give birth to a concubine in the future, I'm so terrified. My mother's fate is good, I always wait to make it ready-made." Concubine Mu, of course don’t rush!”

"What did you do to be so frightened at the thought of giving birth?" Yun Fenghuang responded calmly, "When the biological mother of the twins in my palace gave birth, she was not as flustered as you were. Then you will give birth in the future, but You must remember to invite Bengong, who is so fateful, to sit in your seat in time, so that your blessings will not be insufficient and you will not be a drag on the emperor's heir."

Concubine Xuan stomped her feet angrily—her nurse Yin saw that something was wrong, so she hurriedly pulled her into a corner to persuade her: "Everyone in the six palaces knows that a virtuous concubine cannot give birth, how could the empress and noble concubine not stab her with this matter? She can defeat the imperial concubine and compete with the empress, you must have heard such things over and over again, if the empress talks about this, how can she have nothing to say to you?"

"I really don't know how this lowly maidservant can please His Majesty?!" Concubine Xuan gnashed her teeth and said, "With such a background, Sister Shu is still shameless, and His Majesty actually praised her like this!"

Yin sighed, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, how can you praise her? It's just to learn from Ji's lesson, and she doesn't want to see a concubine from a noble daughter covering the sky with her hands in the palace. Therefore, she came from such a poor family. On the contrary, your concubine needs to be supported by His Majesty... You want to come from a poor family, and whoever sees you will be three points short first, or even if His Majesty praises you, he will not be able to support you in the ring!"

"But this Xiaoyun family is arrogant and jealous, isn't he throwing himself into His Majesty's arms?"

"According to what you said, I can't fight with her anymore?" Concubine Xuan took a deep breath, "Your Majesty is worried about our high-ranking concubines, and it's fine to flatter concubines from poor families... But why do you have to choose such an unruly one? Don't speak human words!"

Yin said: "That's not true. His Majesty's thoughts, the family has long guessed. He treats the harem as if he was in the previous court. He neither wants the noble lady to gain the upper hand, nor does he want to see the concubine of the poor family being too domineering. It is best for both sides. Check and balance, no one wants to monopolize the power! In this way, our relationship with Concubine Xian cannot be good. If that happens, His Majesty will not like it."

"The servant girl thought, Concubine Xian's attitude has been stumbling since we entered the palace, and she probably guessed what His Majesty was thinking."

"So whenever there is an opportunity, we don't have to be polite to Concubine Xian!"

Concubine Xuan said sadly: "I really want to make things difficult for her, but you see, it would be nice if Concubine Xian didn't make things difficult for me!"

Can't beat it!

what to do?

This Yin family has no choice but to comfort her master: "She can also take advantage of her words. After all, the daughter of the Xiao family does not appear on the stage... Her background and style, let's be honest, His Majesty has never appointed her." For the meaning of the future, even if there is, none of the former court officials would agree."

It seems that this is the only way to find a balance. Concubine Xuan looked up at the sky. After a long while, she forcibly endured her emotions, walked back to Yun Fenghuang, sat down with her, drank tea and ate snacks, waiting for news from Mrs. Liang inside— —Liang's first delivery was indeed quite tossing. It started around noon and dragged on until nightfall, when she cried and gave birth to a daughter.

Hearing that she was a little princess, Concubine Xuan's disappointment was beyond words, and then it became complicated: Raising a cheap prince would not compete with her future prince, but the problem is that the prince's weight is not as good as the prince's. The concubine in exchange for the marriage seems to be a bit of a loser?

Yun Fenghuang stood on the left and right and talked without pain in her back, but congratulated her with a smile on her face: "Concubine Xuan, look at your daughter, her eyebrows and eyes are exactly like your majesty, she must be a rare beauty when she grows up."

This little queen's facial features are indeed quite similar to her biological father, Concubine Xuan noticed this, and felt much more comfortable: People always pay more attention to children who look like themselves.

So this daughter should be more useful in fighting for favor or securing favor?

Thinking of this, her expression calmed down, and she looked at the baby for a while, then ordered the waiters to give rewards to celebrate the birth of her beloved daughter, and then discussed with Yun Fenghuang: "Liang's labor is quite hard this time, The concubine was thinking, should I mention her status?"

"It's a rule in the palace that concubines can be promoted even when they give birth." Liang's status is not high, so it's okay to mention it, let alone someone who went out of his own palace. It's up to us, let's report to His Majesty together later, and His Majesty will definitely agree."

This kind of matter should actually ask Empress Ji for instructions, but the Empress is not here, even if she is, the two of them, together with Concubine Rui, are now working hard to poach the Empress's corner, trying to find ways to grab the palace power from the Empress, with the Emperor's backing, why bother to follow the Empress's path?

"Since the mother and daughter are safe, I will go back first. The eldest prince and Zhaoqing are still young." Seeing that nothing happened, Yun Fenghuang got up to leave, and reminded Concubine Xuan not to forget to announce the good news to Chunjia, " Your Majesty should come to see the Second Imperial Daughter later, so I won't bother you here."

Concubine Xuan handed over the swaddle to the waiter, and personally sent her to the door. After performing a harmonious gesture of sisters, she went back to the inner room to think about what dress to wear to attract the emperor's attention?

When Yun Fenghuang returned to Borrowing Moon Xiaozhu, it was time to light the lamps, and the meal time was over.

Qingdu ordered people to take the reserved food to heat, and felt sorry for Yun Fenghuang: "Concubine Xuan is really out of shape, it's so late and I don't know how to give my mother dinner, and I have to come back now use."

"She felt that sooner or later she would be able to spread the branches and leaves for His Majesty by herself. Hearing the screams from Mrs. Liang, she couldn't help feeling afraid for herself." Yun Fenghuang said, "Isn't it because she was in a hurry and couldn't take care of it? Such a guts Well, if I deliberately find trouble for her and make up some tragic stories for her, I'm afraid she may not be able to conceive in the future."

However, she felt that it was inappropriate to deal with Concubine Xuan like this at the moment. Firstly, this person was not pregnant, and secondly, Chunjia was not a fool. Violent hands.

"Concubine Rui and the others didn't go to Jiangwu Garden today." Yun Fenghuang asked someone to call Chen Zhu over and asked, "Do you know why?"

Chen Zhu smiled lowly, and said: "Mother, it seems that those few people broke up, so Liang's childbirth, Concubine Rui, Mrs. Manya, and Yin Zhaoyi did not go there."

Yun Fenghuang asked curiously: "Why did you break up? Didn't Yin Zhaoyi offend her sisters?"

"What Yin Zhaoyi did that day really surprised Concubine Xuan Ruifei and Mrs. Manya, but didn't Concubine Rui just find an excuse to drag His Majesty to her place that night?" Chen Zhu said, "It seems that Concubine Xuan and the others got angry. , I think Concubine Rui and Yin Zhaoyi are the same thing..."

"What about Mrs. Manya and Concubine Xuan?"

Chen Zhu whispered: "Mrs. Manya is outspoken. She said in private that this is because Concubine Xuan is useless. She can't control the scene, so the sisters have to find their own way...Concubine Xuan heard, how can this continue?" go down?"

Yun Fenghuang was thoughtful: "These four were family friends before entering the palace. They grew up together, and their sisters and sisters are very affectionate. It would be too quick to break up."

"Your Majesty suspects that they have some conspiracy?" Chen Zhu immediately became vigilant.

Yun Fenghuang rested his chin and murmured: "It's hard to say, anyway, just keep an eye on it."

Chen Zhu quickly agreed: "The servants must have watched them!"

After thinking for a while, there was nothing else to do, so he waved his hand to let everyone retreat, leaving only the servants to serve.

She thought that Chunjia would definitely go to Concubine Xuan to see her newborn daughter this evening, and she would definitely not come over, so after freshening up, she went to the next room to see the eldest prince and Princess Zhaoqing, and then went back to her room placement.

Who knew that she would be quarreled not long after she fell asleep - it wasn't that Chunjia came suddenly, but something went wrong in Jiangwuyuan: Mrs. Liang is gone!
