Chapter 420 Too Nervous

Early the next morning, Master Xie came to court with panda eyes and a swollen face, and praised the Queen Mother's actions for benefiting the people.

Has Xie Huai changed his

character? Yesterday, everyone was still eating and drinking together and cursing the Queen Mother, why did he change so much today?

Emperor Xuanwu looked at the wound on his face and couldn't help laughing and said, "What you said is very true, then the imperial examinations after the beginning of next spring will be left to you to arrange."

Xie Huai: You really know how to climb up the ladder!

Those officials who originally stood on the same side with Xie Huai all glared at him, and the feeling of being betrayed made them share the same hatred.

Xie Huai had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

But Jiang Yankun, that damned guy, put his arm around his shoulders warmly after the court session, as if they were good brothers: "Hey! Brother Xie, I have a day off tomorrow, you bring your sister-in-law to our house for dinner, and your sister-in-law will show you her cooking skills. Don't you like Jiangnan cuisine? Your sister-in-law is from Jiangnan, the local dishes she cooks will definitely suit your taste, it's a deal!"

"Did Xie Huai get beaten by the Queen Mother's people? Look how scared he is? Was he threatened?"

"Impossible, Xie Huai is a stinky piece of shit, he got beaten up a lot, the Queen Mother must have done him a great favor to make him change his tune so quickly, cunning old guy, he fooled us all."

"It turns out that he opposed the Queen Mother because he knew that the Queen Mother would give him benefits. Isn't this treating us all as cannon fodder? How can we live a good life in the future?" Their

worries were right.

Because Jiang Xinyue "gently" solved Xie Huai's problem, it was their turn to use iron-blooded tactics.

In the next half month, they no longer had the energy to oppose the new laws and policies of the Queen Mother, because something had happened in each of their families, and some people even lost their lives.

Officials in the court were replaced one after another, and gradually, no one dared to say a word of objection.

Jiang Xinyue's existence made them realize a cruel fact.

That is, those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish.

Reform requires bloodshed, but the blood shed is the blood of those who oppose the Queen Mother.

The day before Jiang Xinyue's due date, several officials who supported Concubine Shi as the empress were assassinated or investigated. Even the people were saying that the Queen Mother would not tolerate any voices that opposed her.

Concubine Shi was highly regarded as the empress, but I'm afraid she won't live long.

Jiang Xinyue ignored these rumors and waited for the birth of her child in Kunning Palace.

The emperor returned to Kunning Palace after the morning court session these days and stayed by her side all the time. He was really scared when Jiang Xinyue gave birth to the prince for the first time.

Nanny Xiang laughed at him: "Your Majesty, don't be too nervous. This will make the queen more scared. In fact, for a woman who has given birth, it will be much easier to give birth the second time than the first time. The Queen Mother has good innate conditions, and this baby will be easy to give birth to."

"Gee!"

The emperor covered his mouth with a painful expression: "I don't want to be nervous, but I really want to vomit."

Even when the court officials threatened him to remove Jiang Xinyue's power, otherwise he would not go to court, he had never been so nervous.

Because if any of the civil and military officials in the Manchu court were gone, his subordinates could be promoted to replace him immediately. The Great Yan Dynasty would not stop without anyone.

But if something happened to Yue'er, there was only one Yue'er in the world. If she was gone, she would be gone forever. There would be no such person in the world anymore.

Just thinking about it, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Jiang Xinyue was not afraid at first, but seeing him like this, her heart sank a little.

She frowned, a little irritable: "Why don't you go out! I'm even more scared if you're here."

The emperor said, "I really want to be with you here, but I... I'll wait for you outside. If you get angry and want me to be with you, just call me."

The pain of giving birth to the prince was still vivid in Jiang Xinyue's mind. Although she was mentally prepared this time, she was still very scared.

Nanny Xiang and several midwives were all comforting her: "Don't be afraid, your majesty. Take a deep breath and exhale. The pain has just begun and there is still a long time to go!"

"Yes, your majesty, the second birth is not as painful as the first. Don't be afraid. The little prince will come out in a flash, very quickly!"

Several people chattered to relax Jiang Xinyue's mood, and her heart, which had just been raised by the emperor, calmed down again.

She took a few deep breaths, and the pain was not so unbearable.

Outside the door -

Concubine Shi clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves, but there was a decent smile on her face.

"Bang!"

The maid from Kunning Palace was serving tea to Concubine Shi, but she tripped and fell at Concubine Shi's feet. The tea soaked her embroidered shoes and skirt.

The maid looked back and saw the maids from Chengqian Palace standing behind the emperor in an orderly manner.

She didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly begged Concubine Shi for mercy.

This was Kunning Palace's territory. Even if Concubine Shi was angry, she couldn't go crazy with the people in her palace at the critical moment when Jiang Xinyue was giving birth.

She didn't have the power to do so.

Concubine Shi smiled gently and helped the fallen maid up: "I'm fine, are you hurt? Get up quickly."

The maid stood up in surprise, but she didn't see Concubine Shi's vicious eyes looking at her eunuch.

Standing behind the emperor, Mu Qianqian, with her head lowered and her eyes covered by her heavy bangs, smiled, then retracted her expression and stood there without a trace of presence.

Concubine Shu, Concubine Liang and Ye Guiren were all very anxious. Yesterday, when the queen was playing cards with them, she cried out that her stomach hurt. The unprepared people hurriedly sent the queen back to Kunning Palace.

For this, the emperor scolded them all.

He also said that if the queen was in any trouble, he would chop off their gambling hands.

I swear to God, since the Second Princess was set to marry the grandson of the Princess of Yunyang after the New Year, Concubine Liang, as the concubine who was closest to the Second Princess, was busy as a top.

And the Queen Mother was busy reviewing memorials all day, so they hadn't spent a long time together.

It was not until the day before the Queen Mother gave birth that the Second Princess's wedding dowry was almost ready, and they made another appointment.

Who knew that it was such a coincidence that the Queen Mother's stomach began to ache before dawn the next day.

There are going to be several waves of happy events after the New Year!

The Second Princess is getting married, Xi Que is getting married, and it seems that the Queen Mother's younger sister will also marry into the General's Mansion after the New Year.

But the Second Princess is a princess after all. The Qin Tianjian calculated the best day. On that day, only the Second Princess was getting married in the whole capital. Ordinary people had to give way to the Second Princess in terms of marriage matters.

But the good days of several people are not far apart.

I'm getting off topic...

Why didn't the Queen Mother make any sound when she gave birth this time?
