Chapter 264: Save me and the child
At first glance, I thought Fujin was confessing his love to Si Age.
Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, his cheeks turned red, and then he said, "It's fine if Fujin likes it."
Lu Zhi was a little excited: "I really like it."
"When I was a child, for a while, I really liked playing with mud. I made a lot of pottery figures and gave them to Ah...Enie, but she was not happy."
"I also ordered my servants not to take me to play in the mud anymore. But I will still play secretly when I find the opportunity, and sometimes my brother will accompany me."
"It wasn't until Amma found out and made me kneel in the ancestral hall all night. After that, I stopped pinching Tao Ren'er."
Little Fujin lowered his head and admired the clay doll's expression, feeling a little lonely.
In fact, what Lu Pheasant told was not the story of her original life, but the story of her previous life.
That was a rare act of willfulness in her childhood.
Unexpectedly, the gift from her lover would bring back her long childhood memories.
In fact, at that time, grandma just didn't like her playing in the mud and soiling all the clothes made of good materials.
When she grows up and becomes a parent, she will naturally know how troublesome it is for adults to have children playing with mud.
If she could still play in the mud now, she would definitely put on coarse clothes and a leather apron, preferably barefoot, so Aniang would not stop her.
I think of Empress Lu in her life, she was smart, decisive, calm and persevering, with few moments of innocence.
Now, she is afraid that she will never be able to regain the rare innocence and simple happiness that she had when she was a child.
In the underworld, there is no mud for them, King Kong Peony, to play with, only resentful spirits and residual thoughts.
"Come to think of it, the pottery figures that Fujin made when he was a child are definitely not as good-looking as these two dolls, right?"
Lu Pheasant: "Who said that? I said I hired a skilled craftsman. I wonder if it's my own craftsmanship? That's why I couldn't afford it and didn't dare to give it to me."
"If Fujin doesn't believe it, why don't I take you to the cement workshop tomorrow and we can compare."
"Competition is a competition."
The cement workshop is still a secret of the imperial court, and Si Age was able to enter because he was the master of method and contribution.
Although Lu Pheasant had seen pictures of prosperity in later generations on small TVs, he had never experienced it in person.
She was also a little curious and wanted to see this indispensable thing that was widely used in infrastructure construction by later generations.
"Then get some rest early. Tomorrow Fujin will get up early to go to the palace to pay his respects."
What the young couple didn't expect was that their agreement would not be fulfilled tomorrow due to something else.
*
Ningshou Palace.
Greetings as usual.
The original position of Empress Hui was replaced by Empress De.
However, the Empress Dowager has always been a kind person. If she does not change her attitude towards the fourth concubine, the other concubines will naturally follow suit.
Probably except for Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi, who are very concerned about it, no one else has any interest in it.
Whoever becomes the first of the four concubines is a big difference to them.
Even De's concubine Wu Yashi, because she was born as a pantry manager, was better able to understand the ordinary operations of the palace people, and she was more organized in giving orders when things happened.
The entire palace was even more obedient to the orders of Yonghe Palace.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, so the Queen Mother asked a few questions about the arrangements for the ice basin.
Seeing that he was about to leave after paying his respects, suddenly there was a noise outside.
The Queen Mother frowned: "What's going on outside?"
For how many years, her Ningshou Palace has been pure, what else could cause trouble for her?
Soon a nun went out to inquire and came back: "The Queen Mother, the maids from the Chengqian Palace came over and said that the concubine Wang had already launched the attack at night. But until now, Po Wen and the imperial doctor have not gone over yet."
"The concubine Wang...has fainted once. She doesn't know the condition of mother and child. It's very dangerous."
"Didn't you say that the delivery date is still seven or eight days away? Why is it so early?" The Queen Mother immediately asked, "Concubine De, do you know about this?"
Concubine De shook her head: "Back to the Queen Mother, I have neglected my duty. I will rush to Chengqian Palace to deal with the aftermath."
"Please be at ease, Queen Mother. The concubine Wang's pregnancy is fine now. The imperial doctor is checking Ping'an's pulse every day, and everything is fine."
"You have indeed neglected your duty. Now is not the time to care about it. You have been taking care of the concubine Wang's fetus, and you are the most familiar with it. Go ahead and call us immediately if anything happens."
"Yes, I understand."
Concubine De was the first to leave.
Sifujin followed closely behind.
The Queen Mother waved her hand: "You all go down. If you have nothing to do, you will have to go to Chengqian Palace to disturb the concubine Wang's birth. Let's disperse."
Even though the Queen Mother personally gave the explanation, the other three concubines, Concubine Chu Xiu and Concubine Xiao Tong Jia also came in a hurry.
Concubine De was just one step too early. She stayed outside to deal with the "concerned" concubines.
Si Fujin entered the delivery room that the concubine Wang had arranged a long time ago.
Concubine Hui took the lead and said: "Concubine De, you are confused! Sifujin is still young and she has never given birth. Why did she let her enter the delivery room alone?"
"The concubine Wang is in a dangerous situation right now. When these four blessings entered, she was frightened first. How to prevent her?"
Concubine Yi also said: "Yes! Why does Min Bin happen to be ill at this critical moment? This matter is really a coincidence."
Concubine De said: "Concubine Min has always had a bitter summer. She had some symptoms of heatstroke and sweating a while ago, and I am afraid that it will affect the concubine. I ordered her not to visit the concubine every day for the time being."
"Previously, Si Age's concubine was also frightened when she gave birth for the first time. Si Fujin took care of her alone that day, and the mother and daughter were safe. Si Fujin is experienced."
"The Concubine Wang always likes to be quiet. If we all go in, we will disturb her. For now, it is better to wait for the imperial doctor and Po Wen to come over and see the specific situation of the Concubine Wang."
Concubine Hui said: "Yes! Why is the Ministry of Internal Affairs delaying the official business so much? Didn't Wen Po prepare it early in the past? Concubine De, are you not dedicated enough?"
Concubine De sighed: "I also sent people to the Hirazon side to urge me several times. He just said that he couldn't find the right person. He was so anxious that he asked me to find the person by myself."
"As for the Taiyuan Hospital, today there is no one on duty for those who are out of the palace and those who are out for treatment."
"It's strange to say that these days, I am worried about the birth of the concubine Wang, so I don't dare to sleep too deeply at night. Only last night, I slept particularly deeply, and I almost didn't make it in time to say hello in the morning."
Concubine Yi shouted: "No way? Could it be that Concubine De was afraid of taking on her responsibilities, so she thought of an excuse in advance?"
Concubine Hui agreed: "Concubine Yi is right. It's just that Concubine De's excuse is too clumsy. How can anyone believe it?"
Concubine De: "Well, now is really not the time to worry about this. Aunt Su, go to the imperial hospital again. If there is an imperial doctor who has returned, order him to come over immediately."
"Yes, concubine."
In the delivery room, the smell of blood was overwhelming.
The concubine Wang could no longer shout.
The maid beside her knelt down and cried so hard that she couldn't breathe.
The concubine Wang was lying on the bed dressed in plain clothes, with a frighteningly big belly.
His face was covered with sweat, his expression was miserable, and his eyes were a little distracted.
Seeing something was wrong, Lu Pheasant stepped forward and called her: "Concubine Wang, wake up. How do you feel?"
Concubine Wang finally faced Jiao: "Yes, it's Sifu Jin..."
"Finally, someone is here."
"Quick, save me and the child..."
