After dawn the next day, Xue Hengzhao and others had breakfast at the Prince's Mansion.
Before going back to the palace, he made a special trip to Lan Ning's side. After a night, both mother and son were in good condition, and Grandma Qi and Xue Hengzhao were completely relieved.
Since everyone was in front of her, Lan Ning couldn't explain anything to Xue Hengzhao alone, so she said, "Go back and say hello to the empress. She said that we are all well here, so don't worry about it."
Aunt Qi also said: "The prince and concubine have a good time to rest and recuperate. We went to the palace to announce the good news."
Granny Ghost left as early as midnight yesterday. Although everyone didn't know why she left so early, they thought that it might not be a bad thing for such a person to leave early. People would probably discuss her if they saw her.
When Xue Hengzhao and Nanny Qi returned to the palace, Concubine Fu had just had breakfast and was about to go to the Queen's Palace to pay her respects as usual.
Aunt Qi's face was full of smiles: "Congratulations, congratulations, empress! The fifth prince's concubine gave birth to the emperor's grandson at midnight last night. Both mother and son are safe. I wish you congratulations!"
Concubine Fu almost didn't sleep all night. When she heard the news, she couldn't help but feel happy at the corners of her eyes and brows.
He kept saying: "Okay, okay! As long as it's safe!"
So he called Wei Zhong again: "The Queen, as I said when I went over to say hello, Your Majesty is going to court now. You just need to tell Eunuch Shang. Remember not to be too happy."
Concubine Fu was able to live a relatively peaceful life in this palace, largely due to her low profile.
She doesn't like to show off, let alone compete for the limelight, which has saved her from a lot of trouble.
Also staying awake all night was the Ma family. People in their mansion had been snooping around the Fifth Prince's mansion.
Wait until daybreak and come back to report to Ma.
“It was going on over there until midnight yesterday, and it stopped in the latter half of the night.
When Dr. Zhou came out, his servant came up to inquire about it. It was said that the fifth prince's concubine had given birth to a boy. "
When Ma heard this, his eyes widened.
I was so frustrated and angry that I couldn't say a word.
"This fifth prince's concubine is really lucky. Isn't it difficult to give birth?" Linghua said from the side, "Who went to deliver the baby?"
"None of the midwives in the capital who have heard of the baby dare to go." The messenger said, "The little ones are guarding not far away, and those who went to invite the midwives came back empty.
Only one was picked up, a beggar woman. Doctor Zhou also said that she was the one who delivered the baby. "
"They found a beggar woman to deliver the baby, are they crazy?" Ma's maid Xiaocao looked disgusted, "How embarrassing!"
"They probably felt embarrassed, so they sent the woman away early.
The person guarding the back door said that the woman left before midnight and there was no one to see her off. " said the messenger.
"Although the woman I found was unworthy, but since she was treated so coldly after using her, it shows that Lan Ning and the others are just pretending to be kind and kind." Ma said coolly.
But no matter what, Ma was still unhappy.
No matter how thrilling Lan Ning's delivery was, she finally gave birth to a child, and he was the emperor's eldest grandson.
Although she still refused to give up, thinking that she would take action again if she had the opportunity in the future.
But this time, he was finally discouraged.
The Fifth Prince's Mansion was naturally in a happy mood. The housekeeper called the servant who traveled long distances and asked him to go to Longxi to announce the good news to the Fifth Prince.
They also killed sheep and geese to prepare for the emperor's grandson's bath.
Before noon, the palace had already sent people to deliver many rewards.
After the emperor came to court, he was naturally overjoyed when he heard about the birth of his eldest grandson. He said he would reward her with tens of thousands of colorful silks and satin (Emperor Jiajing once rewarded Princess Yu with 100,000 pieces of silk for giving birth to his grandson).
Because of the birth of the emperor's eldest grandson, everyone in the fifth prince's residence felt that their faces were bright, and they were very happy when they came in and out.
The housekeeper stood at the second door, watching everyone carry the rewards inside, while telling everyone to be careful.
"If we don't have enough manpower, call some from the backyard." The housekeeper said, "Everyone who can walk can come over."
Immediately someone went to the backyard to call for help, and after a while more than twenty people came.
"Why don't you see Mr. Hu?" The housekeeper frowned.
"I was drunk and sleeping there, and I couldn't wake up no matter how I screamed." The person who went to call said, "It's a piece of mud and can't be supported on the wall."
This Hu Laoba is the most useless servant in the house.
Just because his parents are both old people in the house, and they are both diligent and honest. As the only son like him, he just works in the house.
He has been spoiled by his parents since he was a child. He has always been lazy and easy-going, but he is also smooth-talking and can deal with it.
The old couple died two years ago. Before they died, they begged the housekeeper to take care of Hu Laoba.
Since the housekeeper had a good relationship with Hu Laoba's father, he agreed and assigned him to the backyard. He usually turned a blind eye.
Who would have thought that Hu Laoba has no self-awareness and is becoming more and more of a jerk.
The housekeeper has long since not wanted to keep him, but he hasn't found a suitable opportunity yet.
This time I heard that he was drunk and lazy early in the morning, so I went to the backyard in person, had someone tie him up, and poured cold water on him to wake him up.
"You stupid thing! You really think you are an uncle! The house is so busy that you can't even find anyone to spare. Instead of getting up and working, you get drunk and fall asleep!"
Tell you, I won’t let you show up here today, pack your things and get out! "The steward cursed.
But Hu Laoba still argued, "Isn't it because I was happy that I got drunk? Why should you be angry about such a happy event?"
"Come here and give him a few whips. I'll see if he's still happy!" The housekeeper asked someone to beat Hu Laoba, and then said, "Don't let him go. If we tie him up for a day and a night, wouldn't he be happy to lie down?" Let him lie down as long as he can!"
Hu Laoba was given a whipping, his hands and feet were tied, and he was thrown into an empty room. In order to prevent him from shouting, his mouth was even gagged.
The next day, a steward brought someone over, bundled his luggage and clothes into a package and threw it on the ground. He untied the rope and said, "Let's go quickly! There are no idle people in the house, and your mother's little popularity is not enough." It has also ruined you. May you be blessed in the future!"
Hu Laoba angrily picked up his luggage and limped out of the house through the west corner door. The door slammed behind him.
He stopped, looked back, spat hard, and murmured: "I don't want to leave you here, I have my own place to stay! Now that your control is in your hands, this is called Tianwujue." Where is the way of man!”
After saying that, he tightened his clothes and walked away facing the north wind.
Ma became ill for no reason. She only felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, sore eyes and bitter mouth.
I asked the doctor to tell me that it was liver qi that was not feeling well, and he prescribed a prescription to relieve the heat.
Ma looked at the prescription and sneered: "This medicine contains Coptis chinensis. Do you think it's not bitter enough for me?"
At this time, the housekeeper from their house hurriedly came in. Ignoring Ma's frown, he stepped forward and said, "Master, I wish you this."
Then he spoke a lot in Ma's ear. After hearing this, Ma was overjoyed, tore up the prescription and said, "Is there such a thing? In this case, why do I need to take medicine?" The disease has healed."
