Summer in the North is the most beautiful time of the year. After a cool afternoon, Qingya took Cuihe and Xiyi to the grassland in the south of the city to practice swordsmanship. She and Xiyi faced each other with their wooden swords and fought. Two rounds later, there were waiting people on horseback heading here.
Cui He saw it first and called out: "Girl, look, that's our son Ori, why is he here!"
Qingya turned around and saw a handsome young man riding a horse hurriedly. The horse's hooves were beating fast. She put away her sword and said: "Hurry up and get on the horse. If he comes in such a hurry, there must be something going on at home."
Several people mounted their horses to meet with Orizi. They heard his shout from afar, and Qingya drove the horse faster.
"Girl, the eldest lady is about to give birth, please come back quickly!"
After hearing this, she anxiously waved her long whip away and hurried back home. She was covered in hot sweat and entered the room. When she saw that the outer hall was full of people, Kuike, Xianke, Wanyanyong, and the Prince Consort were all outside the curtain, separated by the curtain. After listening to her brother-in-law Tan Tan saying some comforting words, she ordered Wen Po and the maid.
The prince-in-law was already restless, but when he saw her running in smelling of sweat, he became even more angry and nodded at her eyebrows: "You damn girl is so playful. Your mother has to run out when she's giving birth. If you run around again, you'll be tied up." you."
"My uncle has been wronged. You asked me to go out and get some air on a horse, and now you are blaming me. From now on, I will not listen to a word of your words. I'll save you for talking."
"You... you're a dead girl! Sooner or later my old bones will be pissed off by you!" The prince-in-law glanced at her while supporting his bloated body, and then started walking around again. This gesture made everyone laugh.
"Uncle, please sit down! My aunt will give birth to the baby safely," Wan Yanyong came up to help him sit down, and he followed him and sat on the chair.
I could only hear the screams of pain from behind the curtain. The sound seemed like the pain of tearing, the pain of needles piercing the flesh.
"Madam, if you use a little more strength, you'll see the end!" Po Wen kept urging.
"I can't do it anymore,...I can't use my strength," her weak voice could be vaguely heard.
The unusually painful and ethereal shouts and sadness were deeply reflected in her heart. She was so scared that she trembled on the spot and stood upright in the hall, listening to her mother suffering the pain of motherhood. Xianke on the side had red tears on his face. Wanyanyong looked at him and lifted his head into his arms, then wiped his tears with silk.
"I want to go in and see my sister!" She was about to open the curtain.
"Oh, Qingya..., you're still young, so don't go in. Your brother-in-law and the senior female official are helping inside, so don't go in!" Wan Yanyong took her arm.
"I want to go, I want to be by my sister's side!"
No one could defeat her, so they could only let her go in. She looked at her mother behind the bed curtain, gritting her teeth and grabbing the quilt. She no longer looked human, with hair and sweat sticking to her skin, and the disgusting smell of blood permeated the entire delivery room.
She was frightened and ran out again in panic. She felt that her body was cold and she was sweating.
"Qingya, the lonely king told you not to go in, you must be afraid!"
She struggled for a long time, then ran in again, and simply went to her mother's side, held her hand and called: "Sister!"
Gongren looked at her through the curtain, smiled at her with red eyes and messy hair, and held her hands again, tearing and twisting them several times before hearing the crisp baby cry, and then, Gongren The limbs of a person who has passed out.
"She's born, she's born! Thank God, she's a young boy, very strong!"
Po Wen went out first to announce the good news, but people gradually disappeared outside the tent. After a while, basins of hot water were brought in and out to clean the newborn baby. Then he was carefully wrapped up in a quilt and carried out to the Prince Consort.
Only the high-ranking official was wiping the hot kerchief to wipe Gongren's cheeks. Tantan on the other side put her hand into the quilt, and Mo Ying also tidied up the messy kerchief.
But Qingya here had no intention of looking at the newborn, and suddenly rushed out of the curtain, shouting at the maids: "You bastards, my sister is still lying there without anyone taking care of her. Is this how you treat your mistress?" "
After hearing the scolding, the maids standing around took a few steps back, quickly entered the curtain and got busy. She scolded her again in front of the curtain.
Po Wen: "Thank God it didn't work in the end. It was my sister who was in pain. Why don't you thank her?"
"I know my mistake!"
She clasped her hands and walked into the inner room, looked closely at her haggard mother, and scolded everyone: "She has no eyesight at all. My mistress was in labor and was so painful that she was almost dead. Everyone looked at the baby." Let’s go, can’t we see it later?”
"Girl..., you said it already! We have already come in and done it, why do you need to say it again?" Suddenly a maid timidly said something while wiping her scissors.
"But you still want to talk back after saying a few words. If you don't accept it, I will release you from my relationship as master and servant. Someone comes and takes her body, gives her money, and sends her out of the house!" She was a little angry and hurried The maid who talked back.
"Girl, girl, calm down, slave, I don't dare anymore!" The maid knelt down and begged for mercy.
"You and I are not children. You are even ten years older than me. Since you dare to say such things, you must be able to bear the responsibility. Once I have said it, I will never say it a second time." She stood up and looked in person. Two maids invited her out.
She then said respectfully to the senior female official: "Auntie Gao, you are here today. Qingya has something to ask of me. I hope you will accompany me and pay more attention to the people around you. If there are people in the future who are as negligent as today and refuse to obey the discipline." Anyone who contradicts him will be sent out."
"You have to do things when you get money. My sister treats her slaves favorably and even cares the least. If because of this, everyone becomes arrogant, does not do anything, neglects and exceeds the rules, then they will be dismissed as the emperor Shenwen used to deal with redundant officials. "
"What you said makes sense, girl, I will definitely take care of it!" The high female official came and bowed.
The male relatives outside the house laughed and talked about her when they heard that she was not surprised at how she behaved and rewarded and punished in a moderate manner, which was quite like a mistress.
The Prince Consort held the newborn baby in his arms, stroking his delicate cheeks and nodded: "This damn girl also knows Emperor Shenwen's method of dealing with redundant officials. It's not bad. She talks like a mistress. When she grows up, He’s grown up! He’s grown up.”
"My uncle doesn't know that the second sister is really a mistress. Since the elder sister was pregnant, she had no time for housework, so the young wife has taken care of the house. She is in charge of the accounts. She is smart and careful, and she takes care of the accounts clearly. Even the smallest details can be remembered clearly," Kuike handed a cup of tea and placed it next to him.
The prince-in-law glanced at Wan Yanyong, who was calm, and patted his little nephew to sleep: "She! Everything is good, but she is confused about the relationship between children. She insists on liking that so-called King Qi. She is obsessed with it."
"Uncle, you've started again. It's not enough to nag in my ear every day. You also have to talk about it on the table, and you're not afraid of teaching Xian'er a bad lesson!" Qingya rolled out the curtain from the inner room, followed by Tantan. Out.
"Damn girl, my uncle is my father. What's the matter with you? I'm telling you, the New Year will be here soon. You and Lu'er should arrange the wedding as soon as possible. Don't wait for your father to come back and be angry! Then he will I won’t hold you back while I’m training you.”
She turned back and glanced at Wan Yanyong who was sitting upright, her mouth gradually became sour, and suddenly she went over to take the little brother from the hand of the Prince Consort and said: "Is it something I can do if I want to? It's not like you don't know that I How can I hold a happy event when my health has been so bad for a while?"...
"We can't let my brother marry a sick woman!" She swallowed some saliva and shook her little brother, not daring to raise his head.
"I felt unwell, so I hurriedly recovered. Because you were unwell, it had been delayed for a long time. Now that Chinese Valentine's Day has passed, Your Majesty has to choose a new day to pay tribute to His Majesty."
Wanyan Yong lowered his face and replied with a smile: "Uncle, the wedding date has been postponed. The lonely king has already told his uncle. As for choosing a better date, just wait until Qingya gets better!"
"Your Majesty is merciful, but please don't spoil this girl any longer!"
"Her health is very important, so don't be careful!"
"Okay, my little sister needs more rest, so I'll come back to see her later. You young people are in trouble. As for Xiao Wu's name, when your father comes back next month, let the old man pick it up by himself! Ouch! Hey! I'm leaving first!" He stood up, sipped his tea, and then got off the chair. After walking three or four steps, he almost lost his balance. Kuike quickly supported him.
"Uncle, please slow down!"
"Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I'm leaving, Your Majesty! I'll take my leave."
"Gu
Father, walk slowly! "
The Prince Consort swayed his body, waved his big sleeves, and walked out honestly. Qingya also calmed down, staring at the youthful flowers in the courtyard outside in a daze. The scenes of building nests and playing around also made her uneasy.
She shook the baby in her arms and had nothing to say. Kui Ke and Tan Tan took Xian Ke and left quietly, leaving only her and Wanyan Yong in front of the hall.
He waited for a long time, looked at her lowered eyebrows with a slight frown, and then sat down next to her.
"Qingya! When do you think it's best to postpone the wedding?" he asked.
"Actually, the solitary king has already prepared the gifts for his general Na. The people in the palace have sent them Zhai clothes and flower crowns. Her Highness the Queen has said that the proposed title will be Wan Kingdom. You will be graceful and graceful, and you will be calm and harmonious." , the best for Wan country! "
She turned her clear eyes and gave Cui He her little brother in her arms. Then she sat down and smiled and said, "Brother, it's actually good for us to be like this! We have a deep friendship and we are not in a hurry. What do you think?"
"But it's not good to drag it out like this! Everything has been arranged, and I'm just waiting for your nod!"
"You are not feeling well. You can take good care of yourself after you get married. We have the best imperial doctor in Prince Gu's palace. How about that?"
After asking questions three times in a row, she retreated and retreated, and he advanced and advanced again.
"Qingya, it's impossible for you and Brother Wang to do this. His Majesty's decree is like this. If we don't follow it, we won't have an easy time."
"Your Majesty,..."
He was so close that she could hear his breathing, and his broad chest was about to hug him. She touched the pearls hanging by her ears with her hands, smiled lightly, and ran out quickly, along the wooden corridor. They hid in a corner and huddled together with their shoulders shaking.
He chased her for a few steps, then stood on the small stone path and watched her sadly beside the bamboo spring. She was dressed in pink and wearing a light belt, looking like a willow. Next to the green bamboo in midsummer, she looked like a flower about to wither. He She didn't dare to move forward, and she couldn't understand why his love had caused her such great harm.
Xiyi stepped forward to comfort her, and she was willing to turn her head to talk to her.
Looking at him standing upright with pity, he whispered: "Girl, don't be too disappointed. I just got news that His Majesty King Qi was recalled by His Majesty a month ago. He will be arriving in the capital in the next few days!"
"Really?" She raised her head.
"It's absolutely true, but it seems that the Prince Consort has known about this for a long time, so he added a waiter at the door. The back door we often go to has been sealed. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you, my dear, to see the King again!"
