After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

In a blink of an eye, the sage had been out of Beijing for half a month.

The heat of summer also dissipated slowly, and the leaves on the treetops fell more and more day by day, and the women and eunuchs who were busy sweeping did not touch the ground.

Sister Feng's pregnancy is already nine months old, and according to an experienced midwife, she will give birth in about half a month.

The delivery room in Minghui Hospital had been set up two months earlier, and Nanny Lu would personally check it every day.

And Liu Ye, no matter how busy these days are, he will always ask Sister Feng about her situation when she comes back.

Occasionally, I come back early, and I will go to Sister Feng's place to sit and sit.

It's just that on this day, before noon, Liu Ye came back in a hurry. First, he sent someone to Sister Feng's place, and asked Nanny Lu to control the Minghui Courtyard, so that no one could take advantage of the loopholes.

Then, he sent someone to call the concubine Wang and Concubine Wu to the main courtyard, and told them to guard the door of the mansion, no matter who came, don't open the door.

He took out the token to mobilize the guards in the mansion, handed it to Wang Hao, and solemnly entrusted: "The safety of the entire mansion is left to Wang Hao!"

He Shi was very tired, but he had to pull himself together, and took the token: "I will definitely live up to the prince's entrustment."

"Yeah." Liu Ye said, "With the princess sitting in the mansion, I don't have anything to worry about."

When he turned to Concubine Wu, his expression became much colder: "This is an extraordinary period. I don't care what you have done in the past. These days, everything will be arranged by the princess. If not, I don't mind giving Yuan'er They change a mother!"

That's a lot to say.

Concubine Wu was taken aback, and she became more and more jealous towards the concubine, but put away all those small thoughts for the time being.

—Hmph, the days are long.He Shi, let's wait and see!

Sister Feng didn't know what was going on at all, but felt that the atmosphere in the mansion suddenly became tense in the past few days.

"Nurse Lu," Sister Feng involuntarily clenched Nanny Lu's hand, trying to find a sense of security, "Did something happen outside?"

Nanny Lu smiled relaxedly: "The prince is responsible for the affairs outside, and the concubine is responsible for the affairs of the house. Now, master, don't think about it, just calm down and give birth to this little ancestor. It is serious."

Sister Feng is not stupid. Hearing this, how can you not know that something really happened?

She also knew that with her current body, she shouldn't think too much, but her heart couldn't stop scratching and panicking.

She always felt that something big was about to happen.

But what's the matter?

Sister Feng couldn't help rubbing her temples, suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, thinking of her previous life, it was about this time...

The crown prince died, and Liu Ye suddenly became a new saint.

Sister Feng suddenly pressed her chest, her eyes widened in surprise and joy.

"What's wrong, Master?" Mother Lu was startled by her, and asked worriedly.

Sister Feng turned her head to look at her, opened her mouth, but shook her head again.

——This kind of thing is undoubtedly not to be told to people.

"Mommy, I'm fine."

"Really?" Nanny Lu was worried.

"It's... ouch!"

"What happened?"

This time it wasn't just Nanny Lu, Xi'er, An'er and the others also dropped their jobs and surrounded her.

Sister Feng clutched her belly, showing pain on her face, and said intermittently: "I... I seem to be about to give birth."

"what?"

Everyone was startled for a moment, and then there was a burst of jumping.

It was still Nanny Lu who was steady and quickly stabilized the situation: "Xi'er, you go to find Po Wen. An'er, Le'er, help the master to the delivery room."

Then, she asked two little maids to boil hot water, and sent Ping'er to the main courtyard to report to He Shi.

The He family came quickly, but only asked about the situation, and explained some more, leaving behind a hundred-year-old ginseng, and hurried away in a soft sedan chair.

Nanny Lu noticed that her face was very pale, and she still supported her stomach with her hands from time to time, obviously her condition was very bad.

Nanny Liu supported Mrs. He the whole time, and the anxious expression on her face couldn't be concealed at all.

Nanny Lu quickly lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes, and complied with Mrs. He's instructions one by one, and thanked the concubine's old wild ginseng for Sister Feng, and sent Mrs. He away respectfully.

Over there, Sister Feng was walking back and forth in the delivery room supported by An'er.

One of the two midwives was checking the delivery bed, and the other was encouraging Sister Feng to walk more.

"The side concubine is the first child, and it's not that fast. If you walk around more, the birth canal will open faster. If the side concubine has an appetite and wants to eat something, I can have it delivered right now. This life My child, it’s a laborious job, only when you are full and have strength can you suffer less.”

Sister Feng had given birth in her previous life, so she naturally knew that the midwife said good things, so she told the little girl to go to the dining room and get her a bowl of shredded chicken noodles.

Seeing that she was obedient, the midwife breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The old slave has touched it just now. The concubine's fetal position is very upright. When the birth canal is opened to the ten fingers, the birth will be smooth."

It just so happened that the labor pains had passed, Sister Feng wiped off her sweat, and said to the midwife: "Thank you two sister-in-laws for your trouble, when I give birth, I will definitely repay you both."

What she promised at this time was naturally an extra reward.The two midwives looked at each other and hurriedly thanked: "Then thank the side concubine first."

This is also a promise in disguise, and he will do his best.

Sister Feng felt more at ease.

Not long after, a big bowl of hot shredded chicken noodles was brought up, and Sister Feng ate half of the bowl with side dishes.

Wen Po watched from the side, chanting Buddha's name with joy.

Sister Feng began to have labor pains at noon the day before, and it was not until the early morning of the second day that the birth canal opened to the ten fingers, and Sister Feng also felt that she was about to give birth.

The two midwives worked together to help her to the delivery bed, took off her trousers, and covered her with a thin quilt.

"The side concubine should not yell indiscriminately, so as not to waste energy, listen to the old slave's command and use force."

Nanny Lu stood by, and Xi'er and the other little girls were kicked out.

******

"Princess, it's not good, there are rebels breaking through the door!"

The leader of the guards hurried into the main courtyard and asked Princess He Shi to make up her mind.

He Shi got up abruptly, because he got up so violently, his head became dizzy for a while, and he was about to fall.Nanny Liu hurriedly supported her, and said worriedly: "Princess!"

He Shi shook his head slightly to her, took a deep breath, and said, "Go, go to the front yard."

Nanny Liu hesitated to speak, knowing that she couldn't persuade the concubine, she swallowed her words in the end, and changed the sentence: "Do you want to call side concubine Wu?"

Call side concubine Wu over here, in case the princess can't hold on anymore, there is still something to do.

He Shi coldly refused: "No need."

With Wu's personality, if he didn't come to cause trouble for her, he would be Amitabha. How could he expect her to do anything?

Grandma Liu had no choice but to help Mrs. He into the soft sedan chair, and asked someone to call the doctor who had been invited to the mansion.

"You don't need to call a doctor," He Shi stopped her again, "The side concubine Wang is giving birth, so I can't do without a doctor."

"But Wangfei, your body..." Liu Nanny felt very distressed.

He Shi said: "Since the lord has entrusted me with this mansion, he trusts me. There must be no mistakes in Wang's birth!"

Liu Mama's tears were about to come down: "Listen to the princess."

Mrs. He hurried to the front yard in a soft sedan chair, took out the token given by the sixth master, first boosted morale, then promised a big reward, and then comforted everyone, saying that the rebellious army is already in a hurry, as long as They survived until the prince came back, and they won.

Many of these guards are orphans, and their married wives work in the mansion.

Even if it is to protect their wives and children, they will do their best.

Therefore, even though the rebel army was very aggressive, the situation stabilized quickly.

He shi breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered people to go to the kitchen, urging to make a lot of meat pies and broth, so that the guards could replenish their strength in time.

Seeing this, the guards had nothing to say, and they all fought hard against the chaos.

"Brothers, the rebellious army has run out of arrows. Let's bring some more good archery skills, and we will give them a gift in return!"

A small leader shouted loudly, and the morale of the guards was lifted. Immediately, a dozen or so shooters stood up, armed with bows and arrows, and climbed up the wall with him.

He Shi said to the guard leader beside him: "Remember this person especially, and those who follow him. When the prince returns, there will be a lot of rewards."

"Yes."

The leader of the guards was also a capable person. After he complied, he read He Shi's order loudly so that everyone could hear him.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

This old adage applies no matter what.

With He's encouragement, the Zhongjing Palace finally survived this wave of strong attack.

But at this time, Master Liu was being detained by General Yuan, who was sent by the sage to quell the chaos, so he didn't know what was going on outside.

The only thing he knew was the sentence he heard from General Yuan:

"The prince conspired to rebel, and was ordered by the saint to eliminate the rest of the party."

As a well-known prince-party, Liu Ye was naturally included in the rebellion.

Thanks to him being a prince, General Yuan didn't dare to neglect him. After the Ministry of Household Affairs detained him, he just found a small room and detained him on the spot. He was not missing food or anything.

After the sixth master passed the initial period of panic, he began to worry about the prince.

He has been with the prince since he was a child, and he really knows this brother very well.

Over the years, the teachings of the tutors and teachers, the attention of the sages, and the appreciation of all the officials have lifted him to a height that ordinary people can hardly match.

This height also constrains him at the same time, and even he himself demands the highest standard all the time.

——He is the prince of the Great Xia, carrying the expectations of his father, he must not let his father down!

The sixth master used to worry that one day, if the sage felt that the prince's power threatened him, he would suddenly lose his fatherly face and become a strict king.

How big a blow will this be to the prince?

And this day has finally come.

However, it was because of the placement of a kneeling mat when offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple that the saint suddenly exploded.

Perhaps, for the saint, this is the result of enduring the prince many times.

But for the prince, who was so envious of his father, this was a sudden thunder that caught him off guard, and he couldn't even deal with it in time.
