Chapter 354 Premature Birth
"It's a premature birth. Is it seven months or eight months?" Shen Chuliu asked Zizhu.
Zizhu replied: "My Lord, it's probably less than eight months."
"It's the fourth day of the new year. Check it out carefully." Qi Yixiu frowned. The child was born prematurely for no reason and there was no mention of what happened to Concubine Qian. He had to investigate.
"I'll go and see." After saying this, he raised his foot to leave. No matter what, it would be unreasonable for him not to go to see the concubine who gave birth to a prince.
"Your Majesty, it's already this late. Concubine Qian has given birth, and it's time for me to go. It doesn't matter if you wait a little longer. You can have the meal after it's served. It's so cold, you don't have to have cold breakfast all day. It would be nice to have something warm." Shen Chuliu tried to persuade him to stay.
Qi Yixiu thought about it and nodded, without refusing.
Shen Chuliu certainly didn't bother to delay this much, but as a concubine, it was her duty to care about the emperor, so she ate the meal quickly after it was served, and then she got up with the emperor and went to Yongning Palace.
In her eyes, this dog emperor is Yan'er's father, so of course he should take good care of Yan'er and raise him up.
Putting aside feelings, as a concubine, I naturally cannot omit what I should say.
If Concubine Qian gave birth at this time, she would not try to keep her, but since she had already given birth, the emperor was more important.
In Yongning Palace, the Queen and others have arrived one after another.
In this situation today, I naturally don’t have to greet people in the morning.
Shen Chuliu came in and first paid his respects to the queen and several concubines.
Concubine Feng and others also paid their respects to the emperor.
After paying respects, Concubine Feng laughed and said, "This Concubine Qian keeps cutting in on us. Now that she has given birth herself, it's hard to believe it."
The emperor was too lazy to refute this, so naturally everyone agreed.
No matter what, Concubine Qian gave birth to the tenth prince, and he was born almost a few days after the sixth prince.
After this, no one knew how to calculate the birthdays of the two princes.
Shen Chuliu also thought of this, but she guessed that the Queen would not ask the Tenth Prince to celebrate his birthday at this time.
I'm afraid it will either be earlier or later, at least one month.
Qi Yixiu went to see the Tenth Prince, but did not go in to see Concubine Qian. He just said a few words to comfort her through the door and gave her rewards.
After the Emperor gave his rewards, the Empress gave hers, and then the two Empress Dowagers also received their rewards.
The two first-rank concubines were also rewarded.
As for the people below, they are just sending gifts.
Before Concubine Qian was stripped of her title, she was thinking that once the baby was born, she would be promoted to the first-rank concubine.
That can suppress Concubine Feng Shufei and Concubine Kangde!
But I didn’t expect that the title would be revoked later.
But she also thought that once the child was born, she could restore her title. Who knows, if the emperor was so happy, he might even promote her.
But now that the child is born, the emperor only talked about rewards and did not mention the title at all, let alone promotion.
But no matter how uncomfortable she was, now that the child was born, if the emperor insisted on not giving her a promotion, it would be difficult for her to get it herself, right? She would offend the queen again.
Only after she gave birth to the child did she have time to think about these things.
However, the New Year was approaching, and the emperor and the empress had no time to take care of her except to order the Yongning Palace to serve her well.
The newborn tenth prince is still young, so it is naturally impossible to take him out to celebrate the New Year.
Everyone was very busy throughout the year, and when it came to the routine reward of palace lanterns on the 15th, it was almost the same as in previous years.
There are still only a few favored ones. Concubine Qian thought she would not have any lamps this year, but she gave birth to ten princes and finally got two.
In Cuiyunxuan, the mother and daughter brought back four lanterns and hung them in the yard.
Even though the Sixth Prince had no energy left due to his love of play, he was exhausted during the past half month.
I quickly washed my little feet and went to bed.
I didn't have time to play with the lights until the next day.
He not only plays in Cuiyunxuan, but also goes out to play.
Shen Chuliu naturally agreed, but said: "Don't light a fire when you go out to play, otherwise it would be bad if something happens."
The Sixth Prince had no obsession with lighting the lantern, since it was daytime, so he just ran away with the lantern.
Yu Lou and several new eunuchs followed behind.
Now that the Sixth Prince has grown up, when he goes out, he is usually followed by eunuchs.
Because Yulou was smart, he was the one who served the Sixth Prince most of the time, and Shen Chuliu felt relieved.
It had also been agreed that Yu Lou would go to Ruiqing Palace to serve for a few years, and during those years he would receive double the monthly salary.
Yu Lou said that one portion would be enough and he was willing to serve the prince.
Shen Chuliu insisted on giving him two copies.
In addition to serving the prince, he also has to train a few decent young eunuchs so that when he returns in the future, the Sixth Prince will not be short of people around him.
Of course, when the Sixth Prince is a few years older, if he still likes Yu Lou's service, then he can continue to serve him.
The Sixth Prince ran to Ruiqing Palace with a lantern. He started coming here regularly since last autumn.
The fourth prince and the fifth prince are the same age as him. Although they are not very close to each other in daily life, they are of similar age so they can still play together.
The main thing is that when there are good things, children can’t help but show off.
For example, this lamp.
In Ruiqing Palace, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince also had their own lights, so they did not feel inferior when the Sixth Prince came.
The three brothers can have fun together.
The Sixth Prince was the biological son of Jing Zhaoyi, and the servants in Ruiqing Palace could only fawn on him, so how could they dare to treat him poorly? But such fawning was too glaring in the eyes of the Second Prince.
I don't know if it's because of his mind or what, but he feels that these servants are not so attentive to him. What's the reason for the Sixth Prince? The Fourth Prince was also raised from a young age, and he is bolder and more unrestrained than the Fifth Prince.
I'm not having enough fun right now, so I need to think of some new ideas.
"Sixth brother, do you want to go to the zoo? I heard there are a lot of interesting things there!"
"Okay, okay!" The Sixth Prince agreed without hesitation.
This is nothing. When the princes go to the zoo, someone will follow them.
Yu Lou didn't stop him, but just followed closely.
Shen Chuliu repeatedly stressed that no matter where you go, you must bring someone with you. Otherwise, you are not allowed to go.
But all the children in the palace are the same, no one will run around without someone to take with them.
The second prince and the third prince are grown up, so naturally they will not go out with their younger brothers.
So in the end the three princes went together.
Because a lot of new animals came to the menagerie at the end of last year, the princes had been talking about it for a long time.
When I got there, I found that the eldest princess was also there.
She also brought her study companion Jiang Zilan.
Jiang Zilan is already thirteen years old this year, and she has indeed made a lot of progress compared to before.
Although he still looked arrogant, at least he had restrained himself a lot.
After everyone greeted each other, they walked in together. Because the weather was still cold, the smell here was not bad.
The young eunuchs also cleaned up diligently, so the environment was good.
In late autumn last year, four little tiger cubs were sent in.
A big tiger died in a fight, and a litter of little tigers, less than half a year old, were sent to the palace.
Can you keep the monthly ticket for next month for me? And the one who voted for diamonds, I just found out about such an event, you guys can do whatever you want, I can't compete for it, if you have any, just give me a few, if not, forget it.
