Chapter 486 Niu Shi Niang Gives Birth to a Daughter
Fu Zhonghai looked at her panic with a smile, and said calmly: "The food is prepared outside, shall I ask someone to bring it in?"
Zhan Yunfu: "...Okay."
She is too embarrassed to go out for dinner now.
The maids came in one by one with food, placed it on the table without looking around, and then left in an orderly manner.
Zhan Yunfu tidied herself up and sat down at the table.
Fu Zhonghai pointed to the table full of food and said, "Eat first. You must be hungry."
While Fu Zhonghai was enjoying his meal, there was a weird atmosphere in the courtyard of Princess Cui Yanyun.
She was not stupid. After taking charge of the household expenses, she knew everything about the mansion.
His Majesty came incognito and stayed in my mother-in-law's yard for the entire afternoon. He didn't leave until it was dark and even asked for dinner...
Since everyone has been through this, she didn't find it strange.
But people in the world don’t think so. If the news gets out, it will be a big disaster!
"Sister-in-law, eat! Why don't you eat?"
"Chengji, you eat too."
Niu Shiniang, with her big belly that was about to be born, sat at the table with her legs spread out, eating heartily, and did not forget to greet Cui Junjun and Ao Chengji.
Lady Cui glanced at the heartless Niu Shiniang, then at her son who always ate elegantly, and sighed in her heart, but kept a gentle smile on her face.
"Eat it. Have you had any reaction in the past two days?"
Niu Shiniang paused and felt it carefully: "No reaction."
"My stomach feels like it's dropping these past two days. I urinated a lot today and went to the toilet several times..."
Cui Junjun's expression changed: "What did you say?"
She was used to her sister-in-law's vulgar language, but these words were frightening.
Cui Junjun looked up at the maid next to her and said, "Go and ask her to come over and take my pulse to see what's going on."
The midwife on standby at the mansion arrived quickly and asked Niu Shiniang to lie down for examination.
Niu Shiniang quickly finished the food in the bowl and then lay down.
The midwife was shocked when she touched her and said, "She's about to give birth! Madam Ningyuan, don't you feel any pain?"
Niu Shiniang was also stunned: "I have been in pain these past few days, but the pain is not severe, it only comes and goes, so I didn't take it seriously..."
The midwife seemed to have heard a fairy tale: "Does it hurt a lot?"
How is this possible?
Niu Shiniang nodded as a matter of course: "Compared to being attacked by swords and spears, it's far worse."
Midwife: ???
Can you compare it this way?
The female general is awesome. The baby is about to be born, but she is like nothing happened. She eats and walks as usual...
While sighing, Lady Cui asked someone to notify Doctor Niu who was already in the mansion, and at the same time had Niu Shiniang carried to the delivery room.
Niu Shiniang struggled to get off the ground: "No need to lift me, I can walk over by myself."
When Zhan Yunfu heard that Niu Shiniang was about to give birth, she ran away without caring that Fu Zhonghai was still in the mansion.
"Shi Niang is about to give birth, I want to go and see..."
Fu Zhonghai thought about Ao Shengying's appearance and wanted to go and see her, but etiquette did not allow it.
He thought about it, called the secret guards hiding in the dark, asked them to keep an eye on him and report back at any time, and then he quietly returned to the palace.
The most courageous female general of the Tianwu Dynasty walked into the delivery room with ease. In just one hour, she gave birth to a baby girl weighing 8.2 jin!
Hearing the midwife's loud and regretful announcement of the good news, Niu Shiniang breathed a sigh of relief: "Does he look healthy?"
Midwife: "That's natural."
Listen to how loud this cry is?
If you hadn't seen him with your own eyes, you would have thought he was a prince just by hearing his voice.
Are all female generals so powerful?
As the midwife left, the news spread quickly as if it had wings.
The major families all made their own speculations and murmured to each other; some felt sorry for Niu Shiniang and Ao Guangchun, while others gloated over their misfortune.
The wife of Marquis Ningyuan gave birth to a daughter, so naturally she could not inherit the title of Marquis Ningyuan.
If I can't give birth to another son, I'm afraid the title will fall to Ao Chengji...
After going around in circles, could it be that the title of Marquisate is still not retained by Ao Guangchun's branch?
So, what shouldn’t be kept by Ao Guangchun cannot be kept.
"If you ask me, the title of Ningyuan Marquis should be given to the young master to inherit."
"The young master has been sensible and well-behaved since he was young, and he is also good at studying. He has also won the favor of His Majesty, who keeps him by his side every day..."
"Look, God is on the young master's side too."
"If Ningyuan Hou knew about this, I'm afraid he would want to take a concubine, right?"
"Marquis Ningyuan is not a serious person. He already married one wife, so it's normal to have three or five more..."
"Will the wife of Ningyuan Marquis agree to this? She won't be chopped to pieces by a knife, will she?"
The ladies of various noble families who were waiting to eat melons prepared gifts, thinking of going to Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion to "congratulate" (eat melons) the next day.
The next morning, before the ladies of the various families arrived, a team of guards walked out of the palace, carrying various rewards and went straight to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.
The Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion opened the middle door to welcome the angel, firecrackers were set off, incense tables were set up, and the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree announced in a shrill voice: the daughter born to the Ningyuan Marquis' wife will be given the title of county princess.
The rewards were carried into the mansion like water, leaving everyone stunned.
The girl who was just born last night got a title today?
Not only a title, but also so many rewards?
What does this mean?
Some people were curious and went to see the princess's reaction.
However, Lady Cui's face was filled with gratitude and awe. She knelt down along with the wife of Marquis Ningyuan, and there was nothing wrong with her actions.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace..."
At the same time, Emperor Tianwu, who had been locked up in the harem for a long time, finally agreed: he was willing to marry.
But in order to reduce expenses and unnecessary palace fighting, he only married one empress, and no longer selected concubines or beauties.
But Emperor Tianwu also put forward conditions.
First, there is no age limit for the selected women, but they must have a clean family background and be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
Second, once on the candidate list, three generations must be thoroughly investigated to see if they have violated any laws or disciplines. If so, they will be removed from the list and their family will be convicted according to the law.
This kind of statement has existed in the past, but it was just a formality and no one took it seriously.
All the major aristocratic families and civil and military officials began to consider which girl in their family would be suitable to compete for the position of empress.
In just one day, a sorted list was delivered.
Fu Zhonghai looked at the list in front of him and grinned.
He handed the list to Lu Shangfu: "Check."
Lu Shangfu cheered for these cannon fodders in his heart and went down respectfully with the list in his hand.
…
The Tianwu Dynasty was in turmoil, and Xiao Yingchun finally received news that her grandfather had woken up.
After waking up, the first thing grandpa did was to ask about the situation.
When he learned that Xiao Yingchun had paid for the expenses, but his biological son Ge Chuncheng had not paid, he was stunned for a long time before he said, "I want to sell the house."
When the grandmother heard this, she became anxious: "Old man, this is the only house we have left. Where will we live if we sell it?"
Grandpa looked at grandma steadily: "Do you still want to live with Xie Gang?"
Grandma’s expression froze: Of course she didn’t want to, but... why did she have to sell the house?
Grandpa asked again: "If this house is not sold, and we go back, are you sure Xie Gang won't come?"
grandmother:……
Based on Xie Gang's behavior when interacting with them during this period, she could almost conclude that Xie Gang, who was desperate, would come back.
He just disappeared for a while because he didn't want to serve the old man at the moment.
“So, our house is no longer habitable.”
Grandma thought what he said made sense, but she asked, "Where are we going to live in the future?"
Apart from my son, there is my granddaughter Xiao Yingchun.
On my son's side, all his children live at home and there is no extra room.
The villa where Xiao Yingchun lives has money and space...
If he lived in Xiao Yingchun's villa, Xie Gang would not dare to cause trouble, right?
