Chapter 264: Not Happy
However, everyone was puzzled. She was the first one to sleep with him before, and she was promoted because of this. Now she is unhappy? Han Xiaoyi couldn't sit still for a long time, so the birth was not that slow, but it was very painful.
She had been tortured by the child recently and had no energy or spirit, so she prepared some ginseng slices to hold in her mouth from the beginning.
At noon, the emperor had just arrived and the baby was born.
But after it landed on the ground, it couldn't cry or make a sound. If it wasn't still breathing, it would have been considered a dead fetus.
The midwives looked at each other in bewilderment, and patted the baby upside down a few times.
Only then was the child heard crying faintly.
Compared to the noise made when the previous princes were born, this was just like a cat's meow.
Qi Yixiu's face suddenly turned dark.
The midwife came out after packing up and announced the good news: "Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Empress, Han Xiaoyi has given birth to a prince, and both mother and child are safe."
Qi Yixiu didn't say anything.
Although he really didn't want to pay attention to Han Xiaoyi because she stood on the side of Empress Dowager Feng, the child was his and he couldn't be happy about the way it was.
Seeing the emperor like this, the queen tried to smooth things over by saying, "Okay, reward her."
"Congratulations to the Emperor, and to the Empress." Concubine Kangde took the lead.
Qi Yixiu then waved his hand and said, "Reward."
Everyone sat and waited for the midwife to bring the child to the Emperor, Empress and Queen Mother.
All I saw was a wrinkled child, so thin that he was unbearable to look at, wrapped in a cloak, and not moving at all.
It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it. Once he did, Qi Yixiu's face turned pale.
I just forced myself not to say anything. After all, the child had just been born, and if I said something unlucky, I was afraid that the child would not survive.
But seeing this situation, everyone was thinking that the child might not grow up.
After looking at the child, Qi Yixiu held his nose and said a few words of encouragement.
There was no mention of promoting Han Xiaoyi.
The Queen said, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince is weak. I will ask for an order on his behalf. How about keeping him with Han Xiaoyi for the time being? Wait until he is a little healthier before we talk about it."
Generally, if a child is destined to be raised in Ruiqing Palace, he or she will be taken away when the child is one month old.
Since the emperor didn't say where the child was sent, it was most likely to Ruiqing Palace.
"The Queen is considerate, so let her stay with Han Xiaoyi for half a year." This is considered a special favor.
The main reason is that although the third prince, who was born prematurely, was relatively weak, he is now in good health. He just coughs easily in spring and autumn, probably because of his lung problems.
But the imperial physician also said that the older he gets, the better it will get, and by the time he is in his teens, he will be the same as other children.
But right now, no imperial physician dares to guarantee that this child can be kept alive, let alone raised well.
When the emperor and empress left, everyone else left too.
Shen Yu, who was walking at the end, felt extremely happy.
If Han Xiaoyi hadn't used the fetus to plot against her, the child might not have ended up like this.
Damn it! After Han Xiaoyi gave birth to the child, her whole body ached and she listened to people coming and going outside.
The emperor did not promote her.
She bit her lip and asked someone to bring the child to her, but she was also terrified that she might not be able to raise the child.
The nurse advised, "It's getting cold lately, so you'd better not move as much as possible. The Seventh Prince is born with a weak constitution and is most afraid of the cold. The servants have made all the preparations, so it's best if you let the Seventh Prince lie down like this for a month."
"It's all up to the nurses. As long as the Seventh Prince is well, you will all be rewarded. Don't worry, I will not treat you unfairly." Han Xiaoyi said, "I will follow your instructions in everything."
The wet nurses agreed with a smile, but they were also unsure.
Han Xiaoyi closed her eyes and thought, if she wasn't promoted now, she would be promoted during the Chinese New Year.
She is a talented person.
Saito… can’t raise children, but he’s always close to them.
The child is weak. Who knows? Maybe the emperor will show mercy to him when the time comes.
But she was so exhausted that she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
Shen Chuliu returned to Cuiyunxuan, changed her clothes and had a meal, then hugged her chubby and healthy eldest son and sighed: "Fortunately, our Yan'er is a strong little guy."
"Oh, master, you too, how can you compare yourself with our Sixth Prince? It's so bad." Zi Rui couldn't stand hearing that.
Shen Chuliu laughed: "Yes, yes, you are right, I was wrong."
The Sixth Prince put his hands on his mother's face and rubbed it.
Shen Chuliu laughed: "Are you taking advantage? Call me mom."
The Sixth Prince naturally wouldn't do that.
It's only been more than ten months, and although he has the desire to speak, he can't speak for a while.
After being held for a while, the energetic Sixth Prince became unhappy and wanted to move around, sit and play with toys, or crawl. Anyway, he couldn't sit still.
He shouted Ahhhhh and wanted to move.
Shen Chuliu directly threw him to the wet nurse.
"The emperor is angry today. I rarely see his expression change like this." Zi Rui said.
"How can you not be angry when you see your child like that?" If it were an ordinary man, perhaps he wouldn't be angry, but the emperor had so many people who could give birth to children for him, and they all gave birth well, but she couldn't. How could he not be angry?
In ancient times, if a child had any problems, it was usually the mother’s fault.
Han Xiaoyi was the same. She took the initiative, but also lost it.
It will probably not be easy to be favored in the future.
"No matter what, it's a happy event. Just reward according to the rules." Shen Chuliu said.
"Hey, Zizhu is ready. Don't worry, Master." Zirui smiled and said, "I'll just ask someone to deliver it later."
Zizhu was ill these days, so she wasn't around to take care of me.
"Well, you guys take care of Zizhu and tell her to take good care of her. You don't have to rush to serve me."
"Master, don't worry. Zizhu wouldn't dare to come here unless she was fully recovered. The Sixth Prince is still so young." Zirui said.
"Well, she's loyal. She's just sick and it's not convenient for her to be here. You guys can take care of her. If you're afraid of contact, just take care of her by yourself. Anyway, we have enough people here."
"Well, I asked Suihong to take care of her. Suihong won't come over these days. But Zizhu will be well soon."
"That's good." Shen Chuliu stood up: "I wanted to go to appreciate the plum blossoms today, this is great, forget it, let's go tomorrow."
The emperor is unhappy, and it would not be appropriate for her to be heartless.
"Then let's go tomorrow. There's no rush anyway." Zi Rui helped her return to her side.
"It's getting late. You should take a rest."
Shen Chuliu agreed and indeed felt sleepy.
But unexpectedly, plum blossoms didn't show up today, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent some perfume and hair oil.
Among them is plum blossom fragrance.
Shen Chuliu dropped a few drops on his cuffs, and sure enough, there was the fragrance of plum blossoms, which was refreshing and pleasant to the smell.
After a while, Yuanxiao replied that there was also one for Han Xiaoyi.
This kind of extra thing, of course, is not something that everyone has. This is a tribute from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Although it was definitely for the concubines to use in the end, it didn't matter who it was given to. It just depended on who it was given to.
Now, even though Han Xiaoyi's child was not born in good condition, she still gave birth to a child, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs would not miss out on trying to please her.
Meow.
