Zhuo Qihua

There was no one else present, Zhuo Ji stretched out his hand to grab the Queen Mother's hand, the Queen Mother immediately squeezed him back and asked, "Is there anything important you want to tell the old man?"

Zhuo Ji took a deep breath: "Queen Mother, the little guy in my stomach, maybe, it's time."

"Ah!" The queen mother screamed and was about to get up, Zhuo Ji hurriedly grabbed her, "Mother!"

The queen mother was anxious: "What do you do with such a big matter!" The queen mother's anxious words were covered back by Zhuo Ji's other hand.

Zhuo Ji said: "It's just a mobilization now, and it's far from the time of birth. The military parade must not be over at this time, so don't alarm Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Bai Shitong and the others have arranged the delivery room of the Wanci Pavilion early in the morning. My fetal position It's true, the water is not broken now, and I should give birth normally. There are at least seven or eight hours. I don't want to hide it from His Majesty, but His Majesty can't leave suddenly during the military parade. Your Majesty, only you can hold back and hide it from Your Majesty now Let Bai Wenpei, Chen Jiao, Xiaohui, Bai Shitong and Wei Yingshi prepare, let Chang Jing and Haoyue come and change my clothes. Let Lin Yi go to Chengqingmen. Your Majesty."

The queen mother's tears flowed, she pulled Zhuo Ji's hand: "It's this time, you are still thinking about the emperor!"

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty is the emperor, he represents the Mata country, so many people are watching, His Majesty can't have the slightest abnormality."

The queen mother shed tears and nodded: "Okay, I will listen to you, I will listen to you. I will go out and make arrangements." The queen mother held Zhuo Ji's hand tightly: "Shun, promise me that you will be safe."

Zhuo Ji: "I promise you."

The queen mother wiped her tears and went out. Soon, there was a commotion outside.Chang Jing, Aunt Hua and Liu Haoyue rushed in, Zhuo Ji raised his hand, "Don't say anything, just change my clothes." Although he was calm on the surface, Zhuo Ji himself had no clue.

Huayang Palace, Yunyue Palace, Yuxian Palace, Shuli Palace... Huangguixie, Deguixie, Xiguifei and Mingjue got the order of the Empress Dowager and immediately went to Shoukang Palace.Huangguixie, Deguixie, Xiguifei, and Mingyu are all in the fog. If something urgent happens, the queen mother will issue such a decree.Usually when the queen mother has something to do, she just asks people to pass on the news. Yizhi is used here, which is definitely an important matter.Huangguixie, Deguixie, Xiguifei and Mingyu didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to Shoukang Palace, and none of them sat down.

When they arrived at the Shoukang Palace, the four of them were startled when they saw the empress dowager's eyes were red.The Queen Mother didn't wait for them to ask, she immediately said: "Shun Xi is about to give birth. Your Majesty is parading at the moment. You must not mess up your majesty's itinerary at this time and attract suspicion. Go to Xiangfu Palace immediately!"

Mingyu froze for a moment, turned around and ran away, not even letting Agui help him.Deguixie and Concubine Xigui stopped breathing, and they also turned around and left.De Guixie was startled, Zhuo Ji was about to give birth in less than seven months!What is Zhuo Ji's identity? The Dragon Heir Society he is pregnant with has only such a short pregnancy period!

The royal concubine who didn't know the inside story was more worried about the safety of Zhuo Ji and Longsi, and immediately ordered: "Pass down the decree of my palace! Danyang Palace is banned! The concubine of the harem is not allowed to leave the palace at will without the order of my palace! Rebellion! The clan and wives in the palace will all leave Danyang Palace within half an hour, and those who stay will be punished as treason! The daughters and buddies in Shoukang Palace all leave too!"

The atmosphere in Danyang Palace became tense immediately after Huang Guixie made a decree.No one knows what happened, only what may have happened at present.

Candidates who live in Shoukang Palace are required to leave Danyang Palace within half an hour.Everyone didn't care about packing their bags, they only brought their valuables with them, all of which were sent out of Danyang Palace by the palace servants.The imperial family members and wives who entered the palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother, Huang Guixie and others also left the palace in a hurry.They were panicked and didn't know what happened suddenly.

Xiangfu Palace, not long after Mingjue, Deguixie, and Concubine Xigui arrived, Qin Zhongyi led people to block the road from Xiangfu Palace to Wanci Hall.Zhuo Ji changed into his maternity clothes, and was escorted by Jin Dashi, Liu Haoyue, and Mingyu, and got into a soft sedan chair to go to the Wanci Hall.Deguixie stayed in Xiangfu Palace for the time being, while Concubine Xigui returned to Yuxian Palace. She wanted to go back and change into convenient clothes. By the way, she packed up the baby's clothes and utensils they had prepared and took them to Wanci Hall.Huang Guixie also went back to the palace to change into comfortable clothes. The Empress Dowager had already changed into the clothes and went to the Wanci Hall, and then Huang Guixie would go directly there.

In Jiangfang Palace, Qi Yiguo asked nervously: "Could it be that something happened earlier? Your Majesty and His Royal Highness are going to have a military parade today, so there won't be another..." Qi Yiguo didn't dare to say anything.

Tong Yifeng: "Don't scare yourself. The guards have made a mistake once, and they won't make the same mistake again."

At this time, Tong Yifeng's palace servants came in: "Master, the imperial concubine's eldest maid is here, and I want to see you alone, master."

Tong Yifeng: "Call her in quickly."

Qi Yiguo and the servants in the house all went out.

Zi Yuan hurried in, and after saluting, she said quickly: "Zhaochen, by the way, she is about to give birth, and the master ordered the slave to report to you, asking you to change into convenient clothes immediately, and take the things prepared for the little highness to go to Xiangfu as soon as possible." palace!"

Tong Yifeng's expression changed drastically: "I know now! I'll be there right away!"

Zi Yuan saluted and left in a hurry.

Tong Yifeng immediately called someone to come in to change his clothes, because it was the Longevity Festival, and the concubines in the palace were all dressed up, so it must be inconvenient.

After Ziyuan left, Qi Yiguo came over: "Yifeng, what happened?"

Tong Yifeng: "Hurry up and get the clothes you prepared for your highness."

Qi Yiguo was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath, Tong Yifeng said, "You want me to go over to help first, you wait for the news in the palace, don't let it go outside."

Qi Yiguo nodded sharply: "I know! Me, I'll go get it now!"

Qi Yiguo ran out holding his skirt, and Tong Yifeng couldn't care less about how dignified he was.While packing up things, Tong Yifeng's heart sank. It's only a few months before the baby is going to be delivered, and the little Highness will be fine.

Inside the Wanci Hall, Mingyu and Deguixie supported Zhuo Ji to walk around the room.Zhuo Ji was barefoot, the thick carpet would not cool him down.His feet were swollen badly, and Mingyu and Deguixie who had given birth were startled when they saw Zhuo Ji's appearance and the size of his belly. If they didn't know the month of the baby in their womb, it would be enough It's the month!

Aunt Hua brought over a bowl of chicken noodle soup: "Master, you have something to eat."

Mingyu and Deguixie helped Zhuo Ji to sit on the sofa, Zhuo Ji was sweating from the pain.But this is just the beginning.Thinking of the pain during the official delivery, Zhuo Ji felt very unconfident about herself.

Lin Yi hurried all the way to Chengqingmenwai Street.The general in charge of the security guard of the military parade was very surprised to see him.After going forward to salute, he asked, "Does the Lin Nei Dutong have something important to do?"

Edward Lam: "I have something important to see Your Majesty."

The general looked distressed: "Unless there is an order from the military department, the general will not be allowed to go."

Edward Lam: "How much longer?"

General: "The celebration phalanx has not yet left. After the procession, His Majesty will take a carriage to inspect it. It will take about an hour."

The Mata country has now accepted the existence of clocks from top to bottom, but the current clocks are still table clocks.Those who have a desk clock at home start to use the latest hours, minutes, and seconds to count time, and those who do not have a desk clock still use the original timekeeping method.Therefore, in the palace, there are often noble lords who talk about hours and minutes, but most people outside the palace still talk about hours and moments.

Edward Lam: "Then I'll wait!"

Seeing that Lin Nei Dutong had no plans to go to the military headquarters to ask for a letter, the general murmured again.He thought for a while, and returned to his inspection post, but he still called for some instructions.

Lin Yi waited anxiously outside the cordon for the military parade to pass. About two sticks of incense, someone rode over.Lin Yi heard the sound of the horse's hooves and looked for the sound. The man on the horse reined in his horse and came straight to him after getting off: "Cousin!"

It's Lei Cong.

The Firearms Battalion has a phalanx consisting of a hundred people today, and it has already finished walking, and the next step is to wait for His Majesty's inspection.Lei Cong is not leading the team today, he is responsible for the safety near Chengqing Gate.After receiving news from his colleagues, Lei Cong became a little anxious when he heard that his cousin was coming.He knew that his cousin had been in charge of the safety of Xiangfu Palace in the palace for the past few months, so if his cousin came here at this time, there might be something wrong with Xiangfu Palace!

Lei Cong came over and asked, "Cousin, do you have something urgent to see His Majesty?"

Lin Yi: "The Empress Dowager ordered me to meet Your Majesty after the military parade is over."

After a moment of surprise, Lei Cong's eyes suddenly widened.

Lin Yi: "If you can see my father, just say, I'm here. The Empress Dowager ordered you not to disturb Your Majesty's military parade."

Lei Cong nodded vigorously and said, "Cousin, leave this matter to me, you should go back quickly!"

Edward Lam: "I'll wait."

Lei Cong got on his horse and hurried away.On the tower of Chengqing Gate, Emperor Yong'an waved to the phalanx passing below, and the crown prince waved along with him. The deafening "Long live your majesty, your highness, thousand years, long live the Damata Empire" resounded through the sky.Those who witnessed the military parade of the Matata Kingdom for the first time were all shocked and moved with emotion——Damata Empire, the well-deserved number one country in the world!

Lei Cong went up to the gate tower, passed through officials who were allowed to watch the military parade from the gate tower, came behind his uncle, and whispered: "Military Defense Chief!"

Lin Xieshan turned around, saw that it was Lei Cong, and immediately asked in a low voice, "What's the matter!"

Lei Cong whispered, "Cousin is here."

Lin Xieshan's eyes were wide open, and his expression became solemn: "Where are the others?"

"My cousin said that the Empress Dowager's orders are not to disturb His Majesty's military parade."

Lin Xieshan guessed whose Yizhi it was, he quickly explained to Lei Cong, and Lei Cong left immediately.King Wu, who was beside Lin Xieshan, asked, "What happened?"

Lin Xieshan shook his head, and King Wu stopped asking.

The last phalanx passed by, and Emperor Yong'an was about to leave the tower amid another shout of "Long live Your Majesty", boarded a four-wheeled open carriage for inspection, and borrowed the army of the Mata country.Emperor Yong'an had a happy smile on his face, as did the crown prince and King Qi.As soon as Emperor Yong'an was escorted by the eunuchs and walked into the stairwell, Lin Xieshan quickly stepped forward two steps, passed the crown prince and King Qi, passed Zhang Xian and Feng Xi, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! Lin Nei is here."

At that moment, the wind seemed to freeze.The expressions on the faces of all the people around him who heard this sentence were collectively stiff. Emperor Yong'an suddenly turned his head and stared at Lin Xieshan in astonishment.Lin Xieshan: "The empress dowager ordered that you not disturb your majesty's military parade."

There is no need for Lin Xieshan to speak bluntly, Emperor Yong'an growled: "Prince!"

"My son is here!"

"You go! The next thing is all up to you! Zhu Qing cooperates with the prince! I want to return to the palace! Return to the palace immediately!"

No one persuaded His Majesty, Emperor Yong'an went down the stairs as fast as he could.As soon as he got off the tower, Emperor Yong'an saw Lin Yi who was already standing with Lei Cong.Lin Yi knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty! The Empress Dowager ordered that Your Majesty return to the palace immediately after the military parade."

Behind Lin Yi and Lei Cong was the elephant of Emperor Yong'an. Obviously, Lin Xieshan had already guessed that His Majesty would never wait until the military parade was over after learning about it.Emperor Yong'an strode over and got into the car directly: "Go back to the palace!" Feng Xi and Zhang Xian followed up with panicked faces. Is he going to give birth? !

Lam Yik didn't say it explicitly, but everyone present knew clearly that Chu Chu was about to give birth!Shi Yu grabbed Nian Qing beside him: "This, it's only been a few months!"

Xiang Ren had already turned his horse's head and was about to leave. Lin Xieshan said to the prince who was equally anxious and unprepared to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by his father: "Your Highness, please prepare for the inspection immediately, and I will accompany you."

The prince tried his best to calm down, and said to Lin Xieshan: "Chief of the Army and Defense, we will settle the battle quickly, and we will save all the steps that can be saved in the future."

"Yes!"

He is about to give birth, who is in the mood for a military parade.But the military parade is a big event and cannot be stopped halfway.Lin Xieshan quickly explained to the prince what he needs to do next, and at the same time, someone has already rushed to report the army that will be inspected later, and the inspector has changed from His Majesty to His Highness the Prince.

Emperor Yong'an asked Lin Yi who was driving the car when he got on the elephant leg: "What's the situation with Shunxi now? How long has it been?"

Lin Yi: "When I came out, I only had abdominal pain. I said it was early labor pains, and it was far from the time of delivery. The Empress Dowager ordered me to report to His Majesty after the military parade."

Emperor Yong'an clenched his fists with both hands: "It's Shunxi. It was Shunxi who asked the Queen Mother to come forward. Can he bear it?"

Lin Yi: "I haven't seen Chu Chu."

Emperor Yong'an: "Hurry up!"

Many people noticed that Emperor Xiangren left the field.Everyone was still wondering why the emperor's elephant had left suddenly, and they were even more surprised after a while.The person who appeared on the open carriage for the review turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!Standing behind His Royal Highness is Lin Xieshan, Chief of Military Defense and Duke of the Sui Dynasty.The general in charge of the military parade came to His Highness the Crown Prince's carriage in another open four-wheeled carriage. After the military salute, he loudly told His Highness that the soldiers for the review were ready.His Royal Highness also gave a military salute, thanking the general for his hard work, and then announced the start of the review.

Above the square, the slogan "His Royal Highness Chitose, Defend the Mata State" resounded.Emperor Yong'an, who had gone far away, heard it.But he has no time to pay attention to whether the prince can successfully complete the military parade, his whole heart has already flown to Danyang Palace and Xiangfu Palace.

In the Wanci Hall, Zhuo Ji was supported by Deguixie and Mingyu. He could bear the pain now, but he was already beating a drum in his heart.Bai Shitong, Wei Yingshi and Chen Jiao led three groups of people to check upstairs and downstairs, inside and outside the delivery room, to ensure that everything was safe during delivery.Bai Wenpei and Chang Jing were disinfecting the delivery room for the second time, and Zhuo Yi, Zhuo Er, and Zhuo San were inspecting the medicines and tools that the master would use when giving birth for the third time.Huang Guixie has not come over for the time being, he is going to sit in Danyang Palace.

Concubine Xi quickly walked in: "Zhuo Ji, come and eat something."

Zhuo Ji's stomach contracted intermittently, and he lost his appetite.But it was still early, and when he didn't eat raw, he would collapse due to lack of physical strength.The noodles were cooked by Concubine Xi herself, and it was Zhuo Ji's favorite chicken noodle soup when he was unwell.

Deguixie and Mingxie helped Zhuoji sit down, and Mingxie wiped off the sweat from Zhuoji's forehead with a handkerchief.Zhuo Ji didn't want to talk at all, took two bites, and then stopped to take a few breaths.Both Deguixie and Mingjue have experienced it, and they understand that he is suffering now.Concubine Xi Gui was directly anesthetized for caesarean section, but after waking up from the caesarean section, the pain was so painful that she was half dead. At this time, she couldn't say any words of encouragement, she could only say: "Eat slowly, don't get burned."

After barely eating a small bowl of chicken noodle soup, Zhuo Ji couldn't take it anymore.The queen mother didn't want to put pressure on Zhuo Ji, so she waited for news in Shoukang Palace.There is still a while before Zhuo Ji's official birth, she will go there later.The Empress Dowager was very anxious, and she had no appetite for lunch, so she ate some casually.

An eunuch hurried in: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has returned to the palace!"

The queen mother stood up abruptly: "Go to the Wanci Pavilion!"
