On the evening of the second day of midautumn in the seventh year of Chunjia, along with the last rays of the setting sun's afterglow disappearing into the earth's lawn, Yue Xiuyuan, who was born prematurely and nearly struggled for her life, gave birth to Emperor Chunjia's firstborn son.
Less than seven months of the baby landed almost the whole is blue and purple, eyes closed, small face wrinkled, Yun Feng Huang think this is probably the world's ugliest little child and he did not say a word!
You can't save it. Bury it.
This idea just turned in her heart, but the next doctor took the child over, some patting, actually came out a weak baby cry.
"Did you hear that?" Empress Yuan had been bracing herself for the day and had long been unable to eat anymore, hearing this, her eye sockets, which had been almost dry from crying, reemerged in tears, and asked Yuan Neemiang, who had already passed out, "The child is alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Yuan Neemiang didn't move a muscle.
The Empress Dowager slightly calmed down, Yun Feng Huang had already knelt down and softly said, "Concubine congratulates the Empress Dowager, happy to have the Emperor's eldest grandson!"
She took the lead, the entire maternity ward are congratulatory sound, the empress dowager tears stop can not stop, and is crying, and is laughing, resting on the dipping willow arm between the hands, can not stop trembling, shivering, said, "I did not expect ... mourners also have to hold on to the grandchildren of this day!"
Dipping willow is also tearful, nodded his head vigorously, actually unable to speak since Chun Jia ascended to the throne of the wedding, this palace concubines pregnancy in the minority, due to a variety of reasons miscarriage but more, then the son of heaven to bide their time, Empress Dowager Yuan and Queen Qu are deeply locked the palace door, to the empress of the ji a latecomer still trembling with fear and trepidation, the temple is the Prince Regent, Ji's, Zheng's, and Cui Wan's temples; the harem was Ji's and Zheng's harems.
Yuan Liniang always said that these years have been too torturous, in fact, for Empress Yuan, for Chunjia is not?
Empress Yuan even once thought that the momentary greed of the year, need to use Chunjia step on the dust of Xiaozong to pay back.
Just filial piety at that time, the former dynasty and the harem in order to his knees childless worry, is the first emperor's own life childless, the consort even gave birth to three princesses, no one is a male heir.
Chunjia is ...
Until this moment, even though this child was born prematurely, even though he might not live for long, even though the cry was so weak that it seemed as if it would stop anytime, anywhere, Empress Yuan still had a feeling of relaxation as a big stone fell from her heart.
Her royal son will not be left without an heir.
After this child, more children will gradually be born.
Those royal heirs will be more robust, can certainly grow up smoothly, in full cry her "royal grandmother. Three or two can be noisy inside and outside the spring lethargic palace is not peaceful, may be a little bigger will also be hooked up to fight for favor ... These things for many people is very common and even bored, for the empress dowager, but is thirsty for a long time and can not be obtained in the fireworks of the world.
Empress Dowager Yuan a long time to stop the tears, see cloud wind Huang still kneeling on the ground, busy hand pulled her up, softly said, "good child, this day, but hard work you."
The Empress Dowager said so, clearly having eased up from her excitement.
Yun Feng Huang dare not be slow, pursed lips a smile, "Palace this moment do not know how many people want to see a small prince and can not get, concubine dipped in the light of the Empress Dowager, but more than his majesty also saw a small prince, joy dipped in the cheap is too late, where to hard?"
These words reminded Empress Dowager Yuan and asked her left and right, "Where is His Majesty? The child is too small, don't carry him out into the wind, let His Majesty come in and take a look at the door."
As a result, a palace maid went out and quickly came back, awkwardly saying, "Back to the Empress Dowager, His Majesty has already left just now, and before he left, he also asked someone to come in and advise you to go back to the palace to rest for a while, and when the result comes out, he will then send someone to notify you!"
"... "The original compassion on Empress Yuan's face instantly froze.
Dipping willow in the side want to say something and then stopped his mouth, in fact, just when Chun Jia left to send people in to persuade the empress dowager, she was next to her, just at that moment the empress dowager's mind is all on Yuan Neimiang, pressure did not pay attention.
She understood Chunjia's intention, and it wasn't so much that she purely didn't care about Yuan Neemiang, but it was just like everyone else thought before, thinking that Yuan Neemiang, this child, would not survive.
So simply do not see, and do not see Yuan Linniang this moment of sadness and pain, and when you hear the bad news later, it is not so difficult.
The reason why he advised the Empress Dowager to go was also because he was afraid that Empress Yuan would not be able to eat if she saw it.
Standing in Dipping Liu's position she was in favor of Chun Jia, after all, in her eyes, Empress Yuan was more important than Yuan Neemiang.
But for Empress Yuan, even though Chun Jia was raised by her as her own son, this kind of demeanor made her feel, somewhat coldhearted.
"Could it be that something happened in the previous dynasty?" Do not say Yuan empress dowager, even this moment for the Yuan neemiang not die but also gave birth to the emperor's eldest son hated to the bone cloud wind Huang, are a bit unable to look down, dry cough, spoke out to round the scene, "empress dowager, perhaps his majesty had to leave, but afraid of the crowd eye miscellaneous ..."
The muscles on Empress Dowager Yuan's face twitched for a while, and only after a while did she faintly say ''That's also true. However, I am not inquiring about political matters, so I will not inquire. Turn back, and then let someone go to report the joy to the Emperor's son."
She turned her head to look at the little imperial son who was still being held by the eunuch, and a touch of sadness passed between her brows, saying, "The little imperial son's breast name will be ... called Beaver Slave."
The group was silent for a moment before saying, "Yes."
At this time the royal heir, before landing is usually not in a hurry to take a name.
One is to let the Chintian Supervisor according to the birth date and eight characters counted, circled the category, and then asked the emperor to the imperial pen; the second is afraid of not being able to stay.
Yuan dowager queen just so did not mention this matter at all, the result suddenly gave the little prince a milk name, obviously think, Chunjia this cold, eighty percent is not going to bother for this child, let alone take the name took the name, less on the heart, after that, if the child can't keep it, it's just sad.
Chunjia refused to even wait outside the labor room for a result, let alone anything else.
Of course, the empress dowager used "civet slave" as the baby prince's breast name, probably because she hoped that this child could be like the civet cats that can be seen everywhere in the palace, grow up robustly, and live on peacefully.
"The hour is late, I should go back." After giving the child, who is both her eldest grandson and nephew, a nickname, the Empress Dowager also lost interest, and after whispering instructions to Yuan Zhu and the others to take care of Yuan Neemiang's mother and son, she got up, "If there's anything that you need to do, feel free to send someone to the Spring Lazy Palace."
"Empress Dowager." Yun Feng Huang busy said, "You have been busy for a long time, a quasi tired. This side of the concubine will take care of, if there is something or let them go to the splendor Qing Palace! Concubine let people keep the light, day and night, all into!"
She said this rather bitterly, she didn't want to worry so much!
But there was no way, these words of Empress Yuan were basically meant for her to hear, and if she still wanted to continue to act as Empress, she couldn't help but make things right.
After all, had the Empress not claimed to be ill, the matter of taking care of Yuan Neemiang's mother and son would have been the Empress's part.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager smiled slightly at her words and nodded, "True Concubine has always been filial, and so be it, I will rely on you."
Yun Feng Huang sigh of relief, know that this is the Empress Dowager still support themselves to preside over the harem, let the Empress "sick", busy to leave the Qing are care, and let Calyx go back to the gorgeous Qing Palace transferred Xie Heng Yu over the town, they are leading on the Qing people, assisted the Empress Dowager's arm to go out, "Concubine to send you back. "
"... In fact, back then, when Neem Niang was only sent to the mourning family, the mourning family did not like her." Empress Dowager Yuan acquiesced to her request, a group of people out of the main hall, boarding the carriage, but suddenly invited Yun Feng Huang together.
Although Yun Feng Huang was puzzled, he still obeyed the order and accompanied the Empress Dowager to the phoenix carriage.
She thought that the empress dowager had something to urge herself, just the body has been silent, until the ceremonial battle out of the Dendrobium Palace, the empress dowager Yuan suddenly opened her mouth, "If it were not for the fact that the mourning family was not good at that time to turn over with Yuan, I really would like to send the person back and let them change one of the other one."
Yun Feng Huang, "..."
She was still analyzing why the empress dowager had to say this, why she had to say it to her, and why she said it at this time, but the empress dowager had already continued, "The first is that she was born really too ordinary, even the mourning family is not as good as ... how to be worthy of the imperial son who was powdered in his infancy?"
Although it is said that a wife should marry virtue, for Empress Yuan, who has no children of her own, her adopted son is her only child, and she treats him as if he were her own with a mother's love for her son, she of course feels that her son deserves to be matched with the best girl in the world.
Especially Chunjia is not only from the clan, his own appearance is also quite outstanding, but also intelligent and filial, considerate and wellbehaved.
Empress Yuan felt that this son of hers was good at everything and was simply the best child in the whole world!
It was only natural that an ordinary talented and beautiful girl of the family would not be good enough for him.
As a result of Yuan Neemiang's looks, any random maid of higher rank in the royal residence could compare her to her.
Nor was she just dissatisfied with this niece's looks, "The second is that she is impatient, the mourning family spoke to her parents for the sake of the Emperor's son to take her down to play, and in just a little bit of time, she bit the Emperor because she wanted the Emperor's son's things the Emperor wasn't willing to give them, and bitten the Emperor's son!"
The key thing is that she also threatened Chun Jia not to tell Empress Yuan, and Chun Jia really didn't dare to say anything.
Afterwards, the person who served Chunjia found out and reported it to Empress Yuan for fear of being held responsible.
Yuan was heartbroken and angry, hold down the anger, pulling the young Chunjia slowly ask the reason, then Chunjia milky voice said, "cousin said, children can become the son, mother consort can be the future of the Imperial Consort, thanks to Yuan, children if you make her unhappy ... "
The following words are no longer necessary to hear.
Empress Yuan was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she forced herself to appease him and send him away, and closed the door and dipped her head to cry with Willow for most of the day.
Wiping away her tears, she saw Yuan Neem Niang again, so she restrained all her pickiness, gentle and loving, indulgent and generous, and more dear than her own mother - Empress Dowager Yuan closed her eyes and said slowly: "At that time, the mourning family was of course uneasy and kind to her, thinking that it would be best to give birth to a son-in-law anyway, but if she can't give birth, it's just right." I thought it would be best if she could give birth to a son, but if she couldn't, it would be a good time to settle the score and let Yuan return the favor with interest. It is also counted that the mourning family and the emperor's son, did not suffer those years of aggression in vain!"
Yun Feng Huang lowbrow obediently dare not make a sound, said my mother only said that you condone the more capricious Yuan Neemiang, afraid of Yuan Neemiang do not have good intentions, but do not want you even Yuan's also counted on.
If it were not for Chunjia's unexpected ascension to the throne and the need for Yuan's solidarity, it is likely that Empress Dowager Yuan would have questioned Yuan about her "laxity in teaching her daughters".
It's no wonder that Yuan Cistaniang, who is also a niece, seems to be more understanding, but is not as favored by Empress Dowager Yuan as Yuan Neemiang, who is more aggressive.
It's fitting that Empress Yuan has been displeased with Yuan for a long time.
"It's just a pity that the mourning family overestimated themselves." Empress Yuan didn't care about her thoughts, sighed and said quietly, "Nearly twenty years of time, even a dog or a cat would be unable to give up. I do not think so heartless, even if all these years I have been thinking, when the time comes, this disobedient and troublemaking niece will be thrown out to exchange for some benefits ... but as she said, when the time comes, I can not let go of it .... "
She opened her eyes, did not bother to look at Yun Feng Huang, only miserable smile, "It is really a pro niece, all of these think they are ruthless, but at the last moment, retreating from the battle."
Seeing Yun Feng Huang lowered his head, a look of fear, Yuan Empress Dowager hooked up her lips and pacified, "Saying this to you, there is no other meaning. This ... neem mother is quite unsettled, the mourner's heart ... is also turning over. At this moment, but very much want to find someone to say these words. Originally should talk to the emperor child, but coincidentally he is not in, also can only pull you to listen. You do not dislike the mourning family people old, just love nagging!"
"Your Highness is taking concubine as one of your own." Yun Feng Huang hurriedly said, "Concubine's heart is only happy, how could I dislike it?"
Empress Yuan softly said, "You are very lucky, although the origin is not high, but at least the clothes and food without worry, the most important thing is that you have a good mother in law, she taught you very well. So good that even if you rush into battle and give the Empress a share of the worry, you are also doing a decent job ... If you have Ji Ling Zi's origin, I think it must be a lot more outstanding than her."
"These words tonight, there is no need to spread them abroad, and you should not think too much about it the Neem Niang has been deliberately taught to be bad from the beginning by Mourning House, not to mention a consort, she is not even able to be a Vassal Consort."
"I hope that after today ... she can, as you said, come to her senses, and in the future, take the child to live well."
While talking, the phoenix carriage had already arrived at the Spring Lazy Palace.
Yun Feng Huang hurriedly helped Empress Yuan to go down.
Empress Yuan did not immediately enter the palace room after landing, but still took Yun Feng Huang's hand and whispered, "Dendrobium Palace is left in your care, I am very relieved."
"Concubine will not live up to the trust of the Queen!" Yun Feng Huang took a deep breath and respectfully said, "Also, Your Highness, concubine would like to ... well ... the birth of the emperor's eldest son, this kind of happy news, concubine would like to ask for a coincidence, and go to congratulate his majesty again by myself, can I? "
Empress Yuan gave her a deep look, a touch of satisfaction showing in her eyes, "Go."
She knew that Yun Feng Huang meant to personally persuade Chun Jia to be nicer to that mother and son in Dendrobang Palace.
At least pretend to be good.
This is considered to be a softening for Empress Dowager Yuan on behalf of Yuan Neemiang in the future, she will be an honest consort with a child, and will not target Yunfeng Huang anymore as well as a politely promised support better than Ji Ling Zi.
The pitches that were made.
