MTL - The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon-Chapter 302 303: give birth
Chapter 302 303: Birth
"Bold! Why, you dare to disobey what you say?" The queen mother slammed the table angrily.
Zhang Maoquan's heart trembled, and he broke out in a cold sweat. Why is Meng Jiuchang's grandson not here yet? He can't stand it alone.
If he dares to let Nanny Yao in, if there is something wrong with Song Zhaoyi, there is no need for the empress dowager to clean him up, the emperor will be able to skin him when he comes back.
"The servant dare not, the empress dowager forgives the sin." Zhang Maoquan bent down and replied, but he did not move to make way, "The servant is just following orders."
At whose order?
The people present knew it well.
The queen mother didn't expect the emperor to be so guarded against her. At this moment, she became angry and said: "Come here, drag this ignorant dog to Aijia!"
"Slow down!"
Concubine Shu came in with Feng Yunjin, Han Jinyi and others. She was imposing under the costumes, and she led everyone to salute the queen mother, "My concubine greets the queen mother."
Han Jinyi and others saluted and greeted them.
The Queen Mother frowned and looked at Concubine Shu, "Concubine Shu, what are you doing?"
Concubine Shu and the Empress Dowager have always had a weak relationship. At this time, the Empress Dowager did not call out, and Concubine Shu was not the one who wronged her. She stood up and smiled and said, "The concubine just thinks that Zhang Maoquan is the emperor's steward. If the empress dowager treats him like this, I'm afraid the emperor will not be able to explain it. Besides, Song Zhaoyi risked his life inside to give birth to a child. How can the empress dowager fight here? Doesn't it make Song Zhaoyi unable to give birth with peace of mind?"
Concubine Shu didn't look at the empress dowager's ugly face after she finished speaking, and said directly to Zhang Maoquan: "I haven't thanked the queen mother yet. When the emperor comes back, you can go to your majesty to apologize. For the sake of Song Zhaoyi's birth today, I will spare you for a while."
Zhang Maoquan immediately responded respectfully, thinking that Empress Concubine Shu is good at speaking, if she was so good earlier, Song Zhaoyi would have suffered a bit.
Concubine Shu found a seat and sat down very comfortably, then looked at Feng Yunjin and the others and said, "Don't stick around like a piece of wood to obstruct the eyes of the Empress Dowager, and if you don't take your seat, can someone invite you?"
Feng Yunjin and the others held back their smiles, and took their seats with panic on their faces, but they were relieved in their hearts. Concubine Shu's aura is so strong today.
The Empress Dowager's complexion became more and more ugly, so Concubine Shu didn't look at it.
She is one of the concubines with the highest status in the harem, and the other concubine Wan doesn't care about anything. Her father is the right minister, so she is confident in both her family background and her own status.
Facing the queen mother, it is really worthwhile.
The main reason is that she doesn't want to curry favor with the Queen Mother, so she is naturally fearless.
The empress dowager’s complexion has not yet calmed down. Other concubines who got the news came one after another. Wang Zhaorong and Qin Wanyi arrived one after another, followed by a group of people. For a while, Concubine Shu could not be called by name. When there were more people, the hall became a little crowded.
Qin Wanyi's eyes kept looking towards the direction of the delivery room, and she could faintly hear the voice from there, but the voice was suppressed and not very clear.
I don't know what to do.
Concubine Wan was the latest to come, and her complexion was not very good. After seeing the queen mother and saluting, she said: "I have caught a cold for the past few days, and fell asleep after drinking the medicine. The concubine is late, and I ask the queen mother to forgive me."
The Empress Dowager waved her hand to let people sit down, and smiled very kindly at Concubine Wan, "Since you are not feeling well, what are you doing here? Look, this hall is full of people, and there is no shortage of you. It is the right thing to take care of your health."
Concubine Wan knew that the Empress Dowager had something to say when she heard this, she frowned slightly, not wanting to get involved, she just said softly: "The emperor is not here, the concubine must take good care of Song Zhaoyi, otherwise how will the concubine explain to the emperor after the emperor returns to the palace."
Although Concubine Wan doesn't care about things, she is one of the second concubines after all. If something happens to Song Yunzhao, then she and Concubine Shu will be the first to suffer.
She found it troublesome, but there was nothing she could do.
Concubine Shu was delighted to hear Concubine Wan's words, and looked at the face of the Empress Dowager, feeling a little relieved. The Empress Dowager's mind was similar to her own before, and she didn't know what to think.
The empress dowager didn't want to talk anymore when she was unhappy, she pursed her lips and sat on the head, and the hall became quiet.
Concubine Shu only hoped that Song Yunzhao would give birth soon. She was a little uneasy that the Queen Mother could hold her back so well.
In the delivery room, Nanny Yu didn't care about the outside affairs, her eyes were a little anxious, why was she so slow?
Nurse Fan reached out and touched Song Zhaoyi's stomach, her expression slightly solemn.
Mother Qiao said from the side: "The birth canal hasn't opened yet, if this continues, adults and children will be in danger."
The doctor girl glanced at Qiao Mama, "I've already made birth-inducing soup."
Song Yunzhao didn't expect that giving birth would be so painful and difficult. She was already showing signs of losing strength, and even thought that the heroine couldn't compete with her. The world in this book will have her die in childbirth to make room for the heroine, right?
Dream.
Song Yunzhao held his breath, and even asked Nanny Yu for something to eat. How could he gain strength if he didn't eat?
Even if she really has something, she can't fall on the delivery bed.
Pots of **** water were brought out, and pots of hot water were brought in. The movements in the delivery room made people worry. The sun gradually moved westward, and Concubine Shu couldn't sit still.
The queen mother is quiet at the moment, with a relaxed expression on her face.
Qin Xiyue sat at the head of Wang Zhaorong. In the past, the two were in the same camp, and their relationship was naturally harmonious. However, since the fall of the Wang family, Wang Zhaorong and Song Yunzhao got closer, and the two of them naturally became estranged.
Qin Xiyue didn't say a word in front of Wang Zhaorong, for fear of showing her signs.
Wang Zhaorong doesn't have time to take care of Qin Xiyue now, they have different positions now, and she doesn't want to recall what they have done together before.
Feng Yunjin's palms were sweating, and she looked at Han Jinyi. The two were very anxious, but the queen mother and Shu concubine were as stable as a mountain, and their concubines were of no importance. They could only pray in their hearts, hoping that Yun Zhaoneng's mother and child would be safe.
Concubine Shu was very anxious, but seeing that the Empress Dowager was able to hold on, she felt that she couldn't admit defeat, so she kept a straight face.
Concubine Wan herself is not feeling well today, so she doesn't care about it, but seeing the posture of these two, other people naturally dare not speak casually. The hall is quiet and can only hear the indistinct sound from the delivery room.
After more than half an hour, when Concubine Shu couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to let people go in and have a look, there was a loud baby cry.
gave birth?
Concubine Shu let out a long sigh of relief, seeing that no one came out to say anything bad in the delivery room, then Song Yunzhao should be fine too.
Concubine Shu turned her head to look at the Queen Mother almost subconsciously, and happened to catch the fleeting haze on the Queen Mother's face. She sneered in her heart, but with a big smile on her face, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, Song Zhaoyi, mother and child are safe, it's really a happy event."
Although I don't know whether the baby will be a prince or a princess, Concubine Shu can say whatever it takes to pierce the Empress Dowager's heart, which is really happy.
Song Yunzhao had better give birth to a little prince, otherwise she would always feel a bit disadvantaged in such a confrontation with the queen mother today.
