"The empress wants her to be above Concubine De?"
Concubine Liang felt that it was awkward: "I entered the palace at the same year as Concubine De, and it took seven or eight years of hard work to become a concubine. Counting the days, she will have a baby in February or March next year, and it will only be one year and nine after all. Months. In less than two years, she has become the second among the four concubines. The speed of promotion is probably not even comparable to that of Concubine Li and Concubine Shu!"
Empress Zhu sighed: "At this moment, Concubine Li's family is too prosperous, which is her advantage and her fatal flaw. If Concubine Shu was not the daughter of the Wu family, I would be more afraid of her, but she is the Queen Mother's relative. My niece is an ambitious daughter of the Wu family, and her life as a concubine has come to an end. Jiang Xinyue... Jiang Xinyue is different from them all."
She does not have a prominent family background, and there is no life or family decline between her and the emperor.
She has beauty, wisdom, and all the beautiful qualities that the emperor loves.
She knows how to show weakness, advance and retreat, is quirky and considerate, and will never do anything to embarrass the emperor.
Even when the emperor released Jiang Yuan from the cold palace, she did not express any dissatisfaction.
You know, the person who forced Concubine Zhen to eat cakes mixed with arsenic was "Jiang Yuan"!
Of course, I don’t know if Concubine Zhen complained to the emperor about her coquettish behavior in private.
How could the emperor not cherish such a wonderful person?
"Empress!"
They all raised their hands to open the bead curtain, and a wave of heat hit them, melting some of the ice basin before the collapse.
This forced Empress Zhu to complain about Concubine Li.
This year, the Qintianjian predicted that the weather would not be too hot, and there was no need to go to the palace to escape the heat. The result was not the case at all. The Qintianjian official who predicted the weather was a disciple of the Song family. The reason why he said this was because Concubine Li did not want to travel and travel. .
Finally, the emperor found out that the weather was not right, and was going to take the concubines from the harem to Qinzhou, okay! Another corruption case involving a magistrate broke out, and the implications were so wide that the emperor couldn't escape from it at all.
Now all the officials in the court who had helped the Song family were in danger, and instead wanted to please the Jiang family and the Jiang family.
If it weren't for Concubine Li, they would have already spent the summer in Qinzhou with the emperor. Why would they have to stay in the capital to endure the scorching heat?
"Empress!"
While Empress Zhu was thinking, Fen Rui had already walked up to her and whispered a few words in her ear. Empress Zhu was slightly surprised: "Concubine Shu gave birth in Hexi Palace?"
Isn’t Concubine Shu’s belly only six months old?
After hearing this, Concubine Liang's eyes immediately lit up, and she was eager to go with Empress Zhu.
Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhen faced each other, and now there was a good show.
Hexi Palace——
"Ah-ah... I won't give birth! I won't give birth anymore ah ah..."
Listening to the screams coming from the side hall, Jiang Xinyue admitted that she was a little frightened.
In later generations, when women give birth to babies, they can choose to have a caesarean section if the fetus is too large, with painless and anesthetic injections.
Even if the birth is natural, lateral incision can be made to ensure the safety of the fetus and mother.
But this was the ancient times of the imaginary dynasties, and the level of medical skills was not up to standard at all. Even when a woman had difficulty giving birth, doctors were not allowed to enter the delivery room, because at this time, the only people who knew medical skills were men.
If a woman's body is looked at by a man other than her husband, her life will be ruined.
That's why so many women died in childbirth among the people.
There are a few female doctors in the palace, but most of them only do odd jobs in the imperial hospital and are familiar with some pharmacology. Unless they are particularly talented, women who can be called geniuses will be favored by a few imperial doctors and teach them medical skills. .
Hexi Palace has always been under the care of Imperial Physician Yan, and Imperial Physician Yan's only daughter Yan Xinyi happened to have obtained the true biography of Imperial Physician Yan.
There were constant screams in the palace. Jiang Xinyue had already let Aunt Li and Aunt Xiang in, but no one close to her, including herself, came close to Concubine Shu.
In special times, she was afraid that people would take advantage of the chaos to frame her.
Doctor Yan's heart was beating wildly. He looked at Jiang Xinyue for instructions, and asked anxiously: "Mother, do you want me to treat Xinyi..."
"Need not!"
Jiang Xinyue raised her hand to stop what he was about to say: "Concubine Shu was born prematurely. The fetus has already formed. She also ate too much greasy food during pregnancy, causing the fetus to be too large. The situation is very dangerous. With Xinyi's ability, it is not enough." To cope with it. The Queen Mother is not an easy person to get along with, so it is best not to let Xinyi get involved. "
In fact, Imperial Physician Yan also thought so, but he was also afraid that if Zhenbi gave birth in the future, he would want his daughter to go in and keep an eye on her, so as to avoid any special circumstances that would make it inconvenient for him to enter.
With his daughter dictating the symptoms inside, he could also come up with countermeasures outside. With the tacit understanding between father and daughter, they would be able to ensure that Empress Zhenbi gave birth smoothly.
If her daughter assisted Concubine Zhen in the future and someone found out that she failed to save Concubine Shu at this time, the Yan family would also be in great misfortune.
With Concubine Zhen's words, he felt more at ease.
Concubine Zhen is a person who behaves appropriately, so she said no need to do so. If others look up the old accounts in the future, I am afraid that the emperor will already know the reason for the matter.
Large basins of blood and water were brought out from the side hall. Jiang Xinyue's face turned pale, but she couldn't hold back.
It wasn't until Emperor Xuanwu's voice came closer that she let Magpie and Shuangjiang support her and sat down in a chair nearby with a weak look on her face.
Before her butt touched the seat, the emperor was already in front of him. He looked at Jiang Xinyue for a while, and after making sure that she was frightened and weak, he turned to ask Imperial Physician Yan: "How is the child in Concubine Shu's belly?"
Seeing that he did not ask about Concubine Shu, but instead asked about the child in Concubine Shu's belly, Imperial Physician Yan thought that the emperor paid special attention to it, so he replied under great pressure: "Your Majesty, there are already medical girls and Po Wen inside to help Concubine Shu. During the delivery, Concubine Zhen also asked Aunt Li and Aunt Xiang to take care of Concubine Shu. Wei Chen looked at the situation and was afraid that it would not be good. Concubine Shu’s child is too big and it will not be easy to give birth!"
"ah--"
There was another high-pitched scream of pain, and Concubine Zhen muttered. Emperor Xuanwu immediately covered her ears: "Magpie, Shuangjiang, take your queen down to rest, as long as I'm here."
Magpie and Shuangjiang were grateful and hurriedly carried Jiang Xinyue, who was exhausted, to the main hall.
After leaving the gate of the side hall and out of sight of the emperor and Wang Dequan, Jiang Xinyue stood up from the arms of Magpie and Shuangjiang, ran back to the dormitory quickly, and asked them to close the gate of the dormitory.
Then he said: "Ask Imperial Physician Yan to prescribe two prescriptions for soothing the nerves and nourishing the fetus, and asked Xiao Xuanzi to go to the Imperial Hospital to get them. After a while, the Queen and the others came, and Jiang Chuan stopped her, saying that I was frightened and the fetus was unstable. The emperor asked me to have a good rest."
Magpie quickly ordered to go down.
When Empress Zhu came with Concubine De, Concubine Liang, Jin Zhaoyi, Ye Guiren and Jiang Cainu, Jiang Chuanban took them directly to the emperor.
