The rags were dirty, with traces of burnt yellow and some oil stains, which could not be wiped clean at all.

The queen took a step forward, wanting to get a closer look, but the nurse next to her hurriedly supported her, and secretly tugged on her sleeves, telling her not to get too close.

The nanny was a little unhappy. She felt that the queen mother had never given birth to a child. How could she show such a dirty thing to the queen.

The queen patted Mammy's hand, signaling her not to stop her.

Qiqige touched the rag with a surprised expression on her face.

"Huh? This rag looks familiar."

Aruna opened the big box she brought, "Niang Niang has a good memory. When you were young, you had a strange teacher. You learned the statistical table from him. This is torn from his tent. Look, this There are still a lot of tent fragments in the box!"

Qiqige clapped her hands and smiled, "I just remembered when you said that! Isn't this the teacher's word? He is crazy all day long. I didn't expect that he is still alive after so many years."

Aruna said apologetically: "Mother, Princess Naren did not find that person, but found an abandoned yurt by the river beach. The princess thought the words on it were strange, and she remembered your former teacher. She knew you I have been thinking about the teacher all these years, so I specially sent the tent fragments."

Qiqige sighed, "No news is good news, just forget it if you can't find anyone."

The queen persuaded: "Emperor Niang, auspicious people have their own appearance, your teacher will be fine!"

Qiqige sighed: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let me see what he wrote on the tent."

The writing on the tent is very messy, write a little here and a little there.In addition to Chinese characters and English, there are some strange symbols.

The emperor was interested in Western culture, and the queen also knew some of it under its influence.

She pointed at the rag and said with a smile, "Huh? Isn't this a Western character?"

Qiqige nodded, "That's right! It seems to say... you can't touch your belly in circles during the late pregnancy. This is a wrong way, and it will easily cause the baby's umbilical cord to wrap around the neck."

The Queen looked down at herself, her hands were circling around her belly.

She quickly put down her hand, feeling a little flustered, "This...no, I haven't heard of such a saying!"

Qiqige waved her hand, "My teacher's origin is unknown, so you don't need to listen to him about some things."

Below this piece of English is a piece of Chinese, which reads: Eat less sweet and greasy food in the late pregnancy. The world thinks that a newborn weighing seven to eight catties is healthy, but it is not the case, as long as it is within the range of five to eight catties, it is normal .If the fetus is too large, it is not good for the mother. Pay attention to diet control in the later stages of pregnancy.If you are a poor family, you don’t need to refer to this sentence, try to let pregnant women eat well.

Except for these two passages, the rest of this rag is full of strange symbols.

Everyone in the palace knew that the Empress Dowager worshiped a strange master when she was in the grassland.His master taught her to make statistical tables, and the queen mother taught the statistical tables to the late emperor.Up to now, almost every yamen has to make forms, and even the queen will use them to handle palace affairs. At the end of the year, it is time to make forms inside and outside the palace for statistics.

The queen knew that the master of the empress dowager had some supernatural powers, and she dubiously believed the words on the rag, but for the sake of the child in her womb, the queen was willing to verify it.

"Emperor Niang, can this piece of cloth be borrowed from my concubines?"

Qiqige said generously, "Of course I can give it to you, and I will give you the ones in the box. I just don't know if the contraindications about pregnancy written on it are correct. You can ask the imperial physician and midwife about it."

The queen smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Queen Mother, I will definitely keep these things safe, so that they will not be damaged in the slightest."

"It's all dead things. My respect for the teacher is not on this, as long as it can help you."

Qiqige managed to leave the rag behind, waved her sleeves and retreated.

After returning to Xian'an Palace and closing the door, Qiqige and Aruna Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really hard to fool people, in order to convince the queen, Qiqige specially made a box of rags, sent them to Horqin and then asked Naren to bring them back, and used the name of Teacher Qiqige to attract the queen's attention.

Everything else is easy to say, making rags is too difficult, and the difficulty is like making patina for the rockery in the Imperial Garden.

The cloths in the palace are all made of good materials, Qiqige rummaged through her belongings, and finally found a few old heavy green cloths from her dowry.

This kind of blue cloth is thick and rough, it is not used to make clothes, it was originally used to cover the outside of the sedan chair and carriage to keep out the wind and rain.Qiqige's sedan chair was naturally covered with cloth from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Qiqige's blue cloth was not the right color, and the material was not as good as that of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it was never used, and it was left in the warehouse for many years.

In order to make a fake, Qiqige first threw the cloth on the ground and rubbed it with dust, then smoked it and soaked it in vinegar.The fabric was tossed until it couldn't see its original shape, and Qiqige began to write on it.

Writing is also very particular, it must be written with black charcoal, there is no pen and ink on the grassland.The writing should not be too neat, so that others can understand it at a glance. This is someone who was idle and bored and scribbled on the tent.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, the content on the rag cannot be all about pregnancy, and some other knowledge must be added.

Qiqige has been pampered all these years, eating, drinking and having fun, and has almost forgotten the cultural knowledge learned in her previous life.She racked her brains and wrote down the Pythagorean Theorem, the reflection and refraction of light and other knowledge on the rags, and silently wrote a few ancient poems.

Looking at the finished product she kneaded, Qiqige secretly sighed in her heart: at her level, if she suddenly went back to modern times, she would only be able to enter the first grade of elementary school again.No!Maybe she can't even go to the first grade, and modern primary school students are also introverted, so she can only go to kindergarten.

Qiqige finally sent out the things that Qiqige worked so hard to forge, and the next step is to see what the queen does.

The queen first ordered someone to record the words on the rag on paper, and then showed it to the emperor.

The emperor likes to read and has a wide range of subjects. He has read many medical books, but he has never heard of the words that pregnant women should eat less sugar and less meat.

He ordered people to invite the imperial physician and midwife, and let everyone read the paper copied by the queen, and then discuss and express their opinions together.

After reading the paper, the imperial doctors discussed for a while, and finally sent one to stand up and said: "I report to the emperor and empress. I have been a doctor since elementary school, and I have some experience in acupuncture and prescriptions. As for the piece of paper you circulated to us Paper... I have never seen it in books before."

The emperor asked the midwife again, "What do you think?"

The midwives in the palace are all midwives who know medical skills and have taken the examination in the imperial hospital.

After discussing for a while, they stood up and said, "I would like to report to the emperor and empress. It is really not good for a fetus to be too big. It is really not good for pregnant women to eat too much in the late pregnancy, and to make up too much. As for the thing like touching the belly, the baby will wrap around the neck... ...The slaves have never heard of it, and the slaves dare not speak nonsense."

The emperor was not satisfied after hearing it, "I know there is no record in medical books, but you have rich experience, can't you deduce the truth of these words?"

The imperial doctor and the midwife knelt on the ground in fear. This was unheard of, and they didn't dare to guarantee it.

Qiqige didn't write much on the rags. She didn't study medicine, so she really didn't know much about pregnancy and childbirth.But in reality, there are too many bad habits, too many for her to see, and she must find a way to correct them.

The queen is now in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, and she can do some exercise appropriately.But the people around her were too careful, they were afraid that she would be tired and hurt, and they wished that the queen could stay in bed every day.

Another example is that there are ignorant concubines in the palace who squeeze the nipples of newborn children, and there are also leggings for the children. Isn't this all harmful to the children?

The emperor and queen could not hear the exact answer from the imperial physicians and midwives, and they no longer made things difficult for these people.

After the imperial doctors and the midwife left, the queen smiled at the emperor: "Your Majesty, the teacher of the queen mother is a strange person, maybe he is right? Anyway, it is not difficult to do this. It is nothing more than eating more light meals and less food." Sugar and meat. Walk around frequently every day and exercise. It is not difficult to do these things, I will try to do it first, and there is no harm anyway.”

The emperor also felt that the request on the rag was very simple, and the queen seemed to have no loss if he followed it, so he agreed.

The queen is a person with ideas. Although the nuns and maids she brought from her natal family disapprove of her doing this, she has made up her mind and will do it to the end.

Every day she walked around her palace in flat shoes for two quarters of an hour, and her diet was compared to that of the empress dowager.There are a lot of fish, eggs and milk, as well as whole grains, and the combination of meat and vegetables is a recipe set according to the orders of the imperial physicians.

The time soon came to May of the 13th year of Kangxi, and the Hesheli family was activated in the early morning. The Empress Dowager and Qi Qige came to Kunning Palace to accompany the delivery, and the emperor also came when he went to court.

The Empress Dowager held the beads and closed her eyes to pray for blessings. Qiqige couldn't help but go to the Buddhist hall to offer incense if she didn't believe it.Not to mention the emperor, he walked back and forth anxiously, wishing he could break into the delivery room to help Hesheli with his strength.

From the early morning until the morning, the baby's cry came from the delivery room.

The midwife smiled and held out the newborn to congratulate her, "Congratulations to the empress dowager, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the empress dowager, the empress has given birth to a strong elder brother!"

The empress dowager's face was full of joy, and she asked, "how is the empress?"

"Everything is fine, Empress Empress, but she is a little bit out of strength."

Hearing this, Qiqige breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, their mother and child were safe and sound, and there was no problem.

The Empress Dowager waved at the midwife, "Come on, let me hug the baby."

The midwife hurriedly put the child into the arms of the Empress Dowager, and the emperor came over to see his son.The child's face was wrinkled, his mouth was open and he was wailing, and he waved his little hands like an aggressive fighter.

The Empress Dowager embraced her great-grandson and loved her for a while, then she sent the child to Qiqige's arms, "Come, you too, come and hug her."

Qiqige waved her hands again and again, "No, no, he is too small and too soft, I dare not hug him."

The Empress Dowager said to the midwife: "Come and teach the Empress Dowager the posture, and I will put the baby in her arms."

The emperor also followed suit, "Emperor Niang, why don't you give it a try!"

When Qiqige saw this ugly child, she also liked it. She reserved for a while and nodded, "Okay, let me hug you."

The Empress Dowager carefully put the child into Qiqige's arms. The child lay in Qiqige's arms, closed his eyes and frowned, as if he was not satisfied with this embrace.

Qiqige gently touched the child's little hand, her heart softened into a puddle of water.

While she was smiling and looking at the child, her arms felt hot.Qiqige handed the child to the midwife, and saw a watermark on her lotus-coloured flag dress.

Qiqige: When we met for the first time, did you pee on me?very good!The golden lock you washed three times changed from solid to hollow!
