Xuanzong carefully held the tender baby in his hands. What was strange was that the newborn baby, whose eyes were tightly closed, suddenly opened his eyes and smiled!
That smile was so shallow, because the emperor and queen's eyes were always fixed on the baby, so although the smile was shallow, it fell clearly into their eyes.
"This child is very destined for me."
Xuanzong suddenly felt soft in his heart: "This time when the Tang Dynasty went to war with Tubo, his imperial sister made great contributions on the border. For such a small child, I can't reward him. I can only reward the fish that gave birth to him safely."
Concubine Yu De is already one of the four concubines!
Apart from her, the queen, only the seat of the noble concubine, the first of the four concubines, was vacant.
Could it be that the emperor wanted to make Sister Yu a noble concubine?
In this way, isn’t it too eye-catching!
The queen was stunned for a moment, but after spending so many years with Xuanzong and his wife, she knew that this man was always resolute and resolute, and no one could question his decisions.
The queen hurriedly responded: "No matter where Sisi goes, she can make a big splash. She has made great contributions in the battle between Tubo and Tang Dynasty, so she should be well rewarded."
"Then I have made an agreement with the queen. When the child is one month old, I will make Yu'er a noble concubine."
Xuanzong hugged the newborn child and then handed it to the queen to hold.
The queen, who had never given birth to a child, looked at the infant child and her heart was filled with tenderness.
Spring was coming, and the weather was exceptionally good when the baby was born.
But the spring morning was also a bit cool, and it was not easy for a newborn baby to be exposed to the wind for too long. The queen held the baby in her arms and showed it to the imperial doctor who came over to see the baby, and then gave it to the wet nurse who was waiting aside.
When the child was about to be born, an imperial doctor was rushing back from the frontier. The next day, he took the safe pulse of Concubine Yu De and prepared herbal medicine.
Po Wen also said that Concubine Yu De did not suffer much when giving birth to the child, but the queen was still uneasy. Watching the servants bring out a basin of blood, she stepped towards the threshold of the delivery room.
"I am going to see Sister Yu on behalf of the Emperor!"
Before the prince was born, there were great doctors taking care of him. Concubine Yu De did not suffer much when she gave birth to the child.
The child was born safely. She was a little tired, but her energy was better than other concubines when they just gave birth.
At this moment, she was just about to squint her eyes and take a rest, when she saw the queen came in in person, and Concubine Yu De hurriedly got up.
But the queen had already stepped forward to support her: "No need to be polite, you are suffering, I just came to see you, please rest quickly."
"I don't feel any pain at all."
Concubine Yu De held the queen's hand movedly: "With a queen like my empress presiding over the Daming Palace, the concubines will not have to suffer, and the sisters in the harem will also live well."
"If this child can be born safely, I would like to thank the Queen for taking care of her in every possible way."
Concubine Yu De said softly: "It is the empress who has taken care of the harem so well. Over the years, the sisters in the palace have been in harmony, and there is no shortage of anything in each palace. They all say that once you enter the palace gate, it seems like the depth of the sea. It should be a difficult life here, because my concubine, even though Si Si’s child has been away as a doctor for seven years, is living a very comfortable life.”
"Except for a few who just entered the palace from the draft, the palace has been in harmony over the past few years."
The queen spoke to her in a gentle voice: "It's just that the current situation in the Daming Palace is not entirely due to this palace, but also because of Sisi's child."
"Thanks to that child, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't understand."
"A queen who expects the emperor's love will definitely make mistakes."
Empress Wang smiled and gently held Concubine Yu De's hand: "Over the years, I and the Emperor have played the harp and played the piano in harmony, each performing his duties. I have let go of my obsessions, and everything is smooth in my heart."
"It was that child who tried his best to plan for me and gave me a new life."
Queen Wang put her hand on her shoulder and said, "So my sister is in my heart, but she didn't come out of a mother's belly. I treat my sister sincerely and hope that my sister will live well."
"With the empress and the sisters from all the palaces taking care of me, I couldn't be more comfortable."
The queen also found it strange that white hair had grown on her temples, but Concubine Yu De's appearance had not changed much.
She is still as innocent and ignorant as before, and she is as lovable as the child Sisi. She is very happy just looking at her, and I want to cherish her from the bottom of my heart.
The two talked about Li Si Xu, and Concubine Yu Def was talking to the queen affectionately: "Sisi also said that when I give birth to her emperor's brother, she will definitely be able to come back. Seeing that she will be in the capital in the next two days. But the emperor's sister hurriedly hurried away, and the emperor's son in my concubine's belly was so naughty that he couldn't wait for his emperor's sister to come out on his own."
"I am also looking forward to her return. I have not slept much in the past few days. I accompanied the emperor to watch Sister Yu all night last night. My sister gave birth to the child safely. My heart has returned to reality. Now I feel a little better. Feeling sleepy."
The queen glanced at the cherry branches in the glass vase on the table: "Spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. The cherry blossoms in the Manna Palace are about to bloom. It's time for our tenth princess to come back."
"Your Majesty is ill, why bother keeping me here all night?"
Concubine Yu De was very moved. She held the queen's hand tightly and said, "My queen, please go and have a rest. If you have broken your body and bones, you will not know how distressed your child will be when he comes back. Even my concubine will feel distressed as well."
"Your clever mouth is as sweet as our tenth princess. I just go back and rest."
While the queen was talking to Concubine Yu De, Concubine Xian and Concubine Gaocai arrived.
Concubine Yu De was about to give birth. In fact, Concubine Xian and Concubine Gao had been waiting all night. They wanted to come to the Manlu Hall to accompany her, but Xuanzong said that so many people would disturb Concubine Yu De's peace.
So they both sent their maids and women to watch and inquire. When they learned that Concubine Yu De had given birth to a prince safely, Concubine Xian rushed over with the food she had carefully prepared.
It happened that Gaocairen was also wandering at the entrance of the main hall, wanting to see Concubine Yu De, but he was afraid that she would disturb her after giving birth to a child.
This time I bumped into Concubine Xian, and I happened to take advantage of her to deliver food to Concubine Yu De, so I took the opportunity to come together.
After hearing the news about the arrival of Concubine Xian and the talented scholar, the queen was reluctant to let go of Concubine Yu De's hand: "Look, each of them is more anxious than me. I guess that Concubine Huangfu Shu and Concubine Yang will get the news soon." , we have to come to see our little prince, with them guarding you, I can go back and rest for a while..."
Concubine Yu De had a hard night of giving birth. After eating the confinement meal carefully prepared by Concubine Liu Xian, she felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.
Li Sixu hurriedly returned to Chang'an City, and entered the Ganlu Hall of the Daming Palace in the dust. Her mother-in-law had given birth to the emperor's brother safely and fell asleep soundly.
She lay down next to the crib and looked at the wrinkled little emperor brother who had just been born.
When Nanny Wei and Yaoyao learned that she was back, they were so excited that they wanted to wake up Concubine Yu De. Li Sixu looked at the exhausted mother-in-law who had fallen asleep on the bed, and made a shushing gesture towards Nanny Wei and Yaoyao.
"Don't wake up the concubine!"
Li Sixu smiled softly: "Sisi lie beside her bed for a while, waiting for her to wake up."
