In the thirteenth year of Tianze, on a winter evening, the snow in the Forbidden City was like goose feathers.

The side hall of the Xianyang Palace of the East Sixth Palace came from the woman's hoarse screams, and Concubine Li invited Concubine Cheng to come over because she wanted to prepare for the New Year's Festival.

The people in front of the emperor also came early in the morning to spread the word, asking the imperial doctors and midwives to ensure the safety of the emperor's heir.

Concubine Cheng's face was tired, and the Hu family started before dawn, tossing for five or six hours, and the birth canal had not yet opened, so I was afraid that I would have to survive.

Concubine Cheng was busy drinking a cup of strong tea to refresh herself, Concubine Jin was infected with a cold in winter, she coughed badly these days, and Concubine Li was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, didn't this errand of taking care of the concubine's birth fall on her head?

Since the summer day in the Daxuan Palace, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Hu Meiren has fallen out of favor.

This Xianyang Palace was cold in front of the door, that is, early in the morning, the virtuous concubines, the concubines and a few Jieyu came to take a look and left.

Although there was no need for Concubine Cheng to go to the side hall to take care of Hu's production, Hu's crying and screaming were terrible, and Concubine Cheng was extremely sleepy, but she couldn't squint.

Fortunately, Hu's birth was smooth, and the birth canal finally opened in the second half of the night, and when the dawn came, the baby's cry was also heard in the side hall.

Concubine Cheng, who had stayed up all night, heard this voice, like hearing the sound of heaven, "Is it a prince or a princess?" ”

The midwife happily came to the main hall and kowtowed: "Back to the mother's words, Hu Meiren has just given birth to a healthy little prince, and this child has fallen asleep from exhaustion. ”

Concubine Cheng said in her heart, this Hu family has a bit of luck.

This child, if it is a princess, the Hu family is afraid that there will be no chance to turn over.

The emperor has always loved his heirs, and for the prince's sake, it is difficult to guarantee that this Hu family will not have a chance to turn over and regain favor.

Thinking of this, Concubine Cheng felt a little disgusted in her heart, and she ordered the chief eunuch beside her: "Go quickly and report the good news to the emperor and the queen mother." ”

Now that the mother and son are safe, she can finally retire.

Concubine Cheng didn't bother to ask Hu Meiren how she was, so she put on a sable cloak to keep out the cold and left Xianyang Palace.

The news of Hu Meiren's birth soon spread throughout the Sixth Palace.

At that time, Wei Jiashu had just woken up, and her delicate face was full of laziness, "Oh? Gave birth to a son? ”

She didn't care what happened to the Hu family, anyway, after unloading, she didn't have to be taboo and had revenge.

Ying Luo's face was worried, "The Hu family is so blessed that he actually won a man in one fell swoop." The slave maid was worried that she would borrow her son to restore her favor, which would be detrimental to her mother. ”

Wei Jiashu looked lazy and calm, "She won't have a chance to regain her favor!" ”

Aunt Yingluo secretly wondered, why is the mother so determined? The Hu family is also a rare beauty, and now she has given birth to an heir for the emperor, a man...... After all, I like beauty.

Yongqing Palace.

The virtuous concubine had just used the breakfast, and when she heard the good news that Hu Meiren gave birth to a prince, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and with a son, she had the opportunity to regain her favor, and the Hu family could continue to compete with the concubine.

The virtuous concubine was suddenly a little sour, but the Hu family was lucky, and if there was no master, no one could take away the son.

"Let Yuzhu'er do her best, and the palace will not treat her family badly." The virtuous concubine whispered to her henchman Mama Yunxi.

"Yes, sissy."

Xianyang Palace.

After Hu Meiren gave birth, she held on to her extremely tired body, and saw with her own eyes that she gave birth to a prince, so she fell asleep.

This sleep is a whole day.

Until, when night fell again, Hu Mei woke up leisurely.

Yu Zhu'er, the confidant palace maid, hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and bent her knees: "Congratulations to the little master, our eighth prince is crying loudly, and his body is so strong!" ”

Hu Meiren was weak after giving birth, and a beautiful face was pale and dark blue, but it was still difficult to hide her charm, "Quickly bring the Eighth Prince to the palace to take a look!" ”

Yuzhuer was stunned, only the main lady can call herself "this palace", the little master is still just a beauty now, even if she gives birth to a prince, she must only be promoted to one level at most, that is, Jieyu's position, and she is still not qualified to enter the main hall.

Yuzhu'er didn't hear it, hurriedly retreated, and instructed the nanny to bring the eighth prince in.

The newborn child, covered in red, was wrapped in a big red cloud satin swaddling clothes, and looked ugly.

Hu Meiren was so happy that tears filled her eyes, "It's not in vain that I have been quietly raising the baby for so long, but I was born peacefully." ”

Saying that, Hu Meiren gritted her teeth with hatred, "That Wei's family, didn't you just invite favor with your son to regain the emperor's favor!" ”

It's no wonder that Hu Meiren thinks so, when Wei fell out of favor with the emperor, the six princes were taken by the nanny and nurse to ask for peace in front of the palace, and even the six princes stayed in the emperor's bedroom for one night.

Many concubines in the harem envy Yuxue, the sixth prince of the good concubine, who is cute, well-behaved and sensible.

Although there are as many as seven concubines in the harem, the first few princes who have been enrolled in the first few princes, the emperor is more strict than loving, and the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince are all young, but they are not as lovely as the six princes. It's normal, after all, the good concubine is as beautiful as a flower, and the children born are naturally extraordinarily beautiful.

The four princes were raised under the knees of the concubines, and they could see the imperial father from time to time, and the five princes and the seven princes behind were more and more ignored by the emperor because of the low position of their biological mothers.

Hu Meiren looked at the red Eighth Prince, and said confidently: "The redder the child is born, the fairer it will be when he is out of confinement." My Eighth Prince will definitely be more well-behaved and lovely than the Sixth Prince. ”

Wei Jiashu was too lazy to move, so he didn't rush to take revenge. So it was said that Hu Shi'an had finished the confinement steadily.

In the fourteenth year of Tianze, although the second birthday of Meat was not as grand as when it was the first birthday, the princesses of the princes in the palace gave birthday gifts, and even the prince asked someone to send a good inkstone. The younger princes and princesses were sent congratulatory gifts by their biological mothers.

Only Hu Meiren did not give birthday gifts to the sixth prince for the eighth prince.

Well, it doesn't matter, Wei Jiashu is not uncommon anyway.

On the afternoon of her birthday, Concubine Jin's second prince Xiuzhong, Concubine Cheng's third prince Xiuyi, the eldest princess of Qian Concubine, and Ji Jieyu's second princess all came in person, and the young princess was held by her biological mother, that is, Hui Concubine, Qian Concubine, Ye Meiren, and Luo Cairen.

Rourou's little birthday was very lively.

At the small birthday banquet, Hui Concubine drank several glasses of rose wine, and soon her cheeks were red, drunk and smoked, "This palace is really envious of the good fortune of the good concubine, although there have been twists and turns over the years, but the good concubine has always been the most favored by the emperor, and even the six princes were born so exquisitely and lovely." ”

Gu Cairen persuaded in a low voice: "Sister, if you drink too much rose wine, you will be intoxicated." ”

Concubine Hui smiled bitterly, "After all, it is our sister's blessing." ”

The virtuous concubine glanced at her two daughters, who were still young, and were sitting on the table with the three princesses in front of her, and couldn't help but feel sour, "Yes, a good sister is really blessed. ”

Concubine Qian smiled and said, "Actually, it's good to have a daughter." "—it's better than having empty knees.

Wei Jiashu then answered: "The eldest princess of Sister Qian's sister is becoming more and more slim. ”

The eldest princess was born in the spring of the first year of Tianze, full of calculations, and is not yet thirteen years old, but in terms of virtual age, she is already fourteen. According to the law of this era, in two years, it will be time to get married.

Concubine Qian smiled and said, "But isn't it! Last year's spring skirt was turned out this year, and it was shortened again, and I was asking the needlework maids in the palace to be busy widening the bottom of the skirt. ”

Hui Concubine, who had a burgundy face, couldn't help but pout: "The skirt is short, just lose it and make a new one!" Concubine Qian has been mending for another three years, and she is inevitably thrifty! ”

Concubine Qian's smile froze instantly, her face was instantly a little embarrassed, and even the face of the eldest princess on the table next to her was a little chilly.

Wei Jiashu shook his head secretly, Concubine Hui had drunk too much, and she was too unobtrusive. Hui Concubine said "thrifty", but in fact, she mocked the stinginess of the concubine.

If you have money, who wants to treat your own daughter badly?
