466: I'm About to Give Birth

No matter how rumors spread outside, the prince and the emperor could not help but pretend to be deaf and dumb. As time went by, these people understood that both the majesty and the prince were protecting the princess.

The princess really has a good father.

His Majesty has always been brooding over Su Chun's death, and now the guilt has been transferred to Su Chun's daughter. Not only did he make her the crown princess, but he also doted on the East Palace alone and did not even include anyone in the draft.

This makes many families who want to send their daughters to the East Palace feel uneasy. Su Chun has been dead for many years, and looking at the scenery of the Crown Princess, it makes people want to send their daughters there even more.

Even with Su Xinyi's reputation and toughness, he could be treated like this by His Royal Highness. His daughter is gentle and virtuous, and her future future will definitely be good.

If this draft doesn't work out, there will be another one, and they can afford to wait.

Su Xinyi didn't care about the ups and downs outside. The royal family's etiquette for accepting concubines was relatively simple. Prince Jing's Palace and Prince Wu's Palace did not have any big arrangements for accepting concubines. The Ministry of Rites followed the regulations and carried the people in with a sedan chair.

A few days after Su Xinyi took in Prince Jing's concubine, she asked Grandma She to visit Tu Jingjia in Prince Jing's Mansion. It was not a high profile, but people in Prince Jing's Mansion knew what they should know.

Mother She came back and replied to the Crown Princess: "Princess Jing looks very good and is in a good mood. Princess Rong sent a storyteller over, which made Princess Jing laugh all day long. Princess Jing asked the old slave to tell you, Don’t worry, life is going well now.”

Su Xinyi looked at Aunt She in surprise and asked, "Mr. Storyteller? This is a good idea. I'm sorry that the princess can think of it. It's good."

"Yes, Crown Princess, you can rest assured now." Grandma She also thinks that Princess Rong's move is good. Most people can think of it and can't do it. Who dares to send a storyteller to the mansion, but behind Princess Rong's back There was a free-spirited Prince Rong, whom most people did not dare to provoke, and even several princes walked around him.

In this way, Princess Rong didn't have so many scruples about giving it away.

Su Xinyi looked at Nanny She and asked softly: "What about Concubine Yan?"

Aunt She knew that the Crown Princess would ask this, so she also lowered her voice and said with a smile: "I knew you were worried, so I shamelessly asked Princess Jing. The Princess said that Concubine Yan is very peaceful these days. There was no commotion. Moreover, His Highness Prince Jing did not like Concubine Yan very much. His Highness Prince Jing stayed there for several days when Concubine Yan came in. "

Su Xinyi didn't quite understand what he said. He looked at Nanny She and asked, "Nanny, what do you mean by King Jing?"

If he didn't like him, he wouldn't have brought him into the house in the first place. If he liked him, he wouldn't be pampered much after he entered the house, which was strange.

Aunt She shook her head, "It's hard to say, old slave, but with the presence of the virtuous concubine in the palace, the empress will definitely remind Prince Jing not to embarrass Princess Jing. Maybe now he is worried about the princess being pregnant, maybe Prince Jing was the one in the beginning. For the sake of responsibility, the old slave is not sure."

Su Xinyi felt that what she said made sense, and she could not interfere in other people's affairs, so she said to her, "It's best for now. As long as King Jing loves Princess Jing, that's enough."

As for whether Tu Jingjia wanted King Jing's heart or not, Su Xinyi couldn't help with this matter. The only thing she could do was to protect the face of Tu Jingjia, the princess.

"What the Crown Princess said is that if you are as careless as Prince Xiang's Mansion, you will have your hands full."

Su Xinyi also laughed, "That's not true, but since no one entered Prince Xiang's Mansion this time, Princess Xiang's life will be easier."

Aunt She coughed lightly and shook her head, "It's hard to say. I heard some news that His Royal Highness Prince Xiang has been staying with Fuyun recently, and Princess Xiang rarely sees people on weekdays."

Su Xinyi:......

Without Li Ji and King Yi controlling the overall situation behind the scenes for King Xiang, this soft-eared person could no longer be controlled.

However, You Xiangzhi is not a soft persimmon. I am afraid that she is not in a hurry now, but is waiting for the opportunity.

Su Xinyi had no time to talk about the affairs of Prince Xiang's Mansion. Seeing that the Crown Princess was not very interested, Grandma She talked about another matter.

"The old slave also heard something, and the Crown Princess will definitely be willing to hear it."

"What's going on?" Su Xinyi was indeed intrigued by Grandma She, and looked at her with a smile and asked.

"It's a matter in Prince Wu's Mansion. The old slave heard that Concubine Zhou was punished by Princess Wu for having a fetal infection. Concubine Pei contradicted Princess Wu to protect the child in Concubine Zhou's belly. Princess Wu was furious and grounded Concubine Pei. . However, Mrs. Wu Anhou soon learned of the matter and reported it to Concubine Ruan Ming. Concubine Ruan Ming sent her nanny out of the palace to scold Concubine Wu. "

Su Xinyi was quite surprised. She didn't expect that the one causing the most commotion would be Prince Wu's Mansion.

Will Pei Huiran confront Ji Yun over a concubine?

I'm afraid Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong.

Sure enough, none of the girls in the Pei family are simple.

Thinking of this, she looked at Nanny She and asked: "Princess Xiang and Concubine Pei are cousins. Since they have entered the royal family, Princess Xiang has not supported Concubine Pei?"

Grandma She shook her head, "I haven't heard of it."

Su Xinyi let out a "tsk" sound, looked at Aunt She and smiled: "These cousins ​​are nothing more than that."

"What the Crown Princess said is that when Wu'an Hou Mansion pushed Princess Xiang out, she had no good intentions and wanted to send her into the harem. Princess Xiang is not stupid. The reason why she remained silent was probably because she wanted to use Wu An Hou's help. However, things went wrong in the end, and I heard that the two families were not happy, so it’s not surprising that they don’t have much contact now. "

Su Xinyi said with a smile: "It will be very lively in the future."

"Just wait and see the big show."

Su Xinyi was in a good mood. It wasn't that she wanted to see other people's jokes. In fact, these people were also waiting to see her jokes. Don't think she didn't know that Mrs. Wu'anhou was going out to ruin her reputation this time.

After the draft, the capital suddenly became quiet.

The caravan had already set off, and Su Xinyi saw off his two cousins, hoping that they would return safely.

Mu Xing went to Duogan, but no news came back.

As time goes by step by step, Su Xinyi's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and in the past two months, the marriages of several young masters in the Duke's Mansion have also been decided.

Su Bei chose Wei, the daughter of the Minister of Industry, Su Ju decided Zhang, the daughter of the Minister of Taichang Temple, and Su Chu decided Luo, the daughter of the Imperial Academy.

The one with the highest family status is Su Bei's fiancée Wei, but the Ministry of Industry is the lowest among the six departments. She is in charge of construction and does not have much power. Taichang Temple is in charge of sacrifices and rituals in the ancestral temple, and the Imperial Prince supervises scholars. They are all in-laws with no real power.

It’s not good for people to keep an eye on the several marriages in the Duke’s Mansion. No one expected that the Duke’s Mansion would decide on these marriages. With the current momentum of the Duke’s Mansion, there is also a princess in the family, so the marriage should be better. Aristocratic families are the right ones, but the marriages between the Duke and the Duke are all civil servants with no real power in the court.

Su Xinyi was also surprised. Although he had known about this plan in his family for a long time, he never expected that the marriage arrangements for his brothers would be so low.

It wasn't that Su Xinyi looked down upon her future sisters-in-law, but she was afraid that her brothers would feel wronged.

She was worried, so she wrote a letter back home to her mother to inquire more about it.

The fourth lady's letter was sent back very quickly. Su Xinyi read it and let out a long sigh after reading it. The letter said that the marriage of several brothers was the idea of ​​his grandfather, and that the Duke's Palace was now too focused and should not be publicized. Besides, Although the selected girl's family background is not obvious, the family has carefully inquired and there is no one with a blemish on her reputation.

Su Xinyi held the letter and fell into deep thought. Among the first brothers in the family, the eldest brother and the second brother were the quickest to show up. Especially the eldest brother Su Yi, who followed Shang Junyan back south and was rewarded by His Majesty. The second brother had to do several errands. The official positions will also come down. As for the next few brothers, they will naturally compete with each other. They will have to lie dormant for at least a few years. If they want to make a difference, it depends on the opportunity.

Therefore, at this time, marriage is the most important thing. It is right for the family to choose a wife for them rather than focusing on family background and focusing on character.

Now that Su Xinyi knew the family's plan, she felt relieved. Her grandfather must have thought more carefully than she did.

She is getting heavier and heavier now, and her delivery date is very close. Every day, Grandma She will accompany her to walk around the garden to eat.

The delivery room in the East Palace also began to prepare, and everything was in order.

After entering June, Su Xinyi felt that it was getting harder and harder day by day, even though he was a martial arts practitioner. He couldn't sleep well at night, and even His Highness was also having a hard time.

She also advised him to go to the front hall to rest, but Yan Junchu refused.

The weather in early June already had the dryness of early summer. Su Xinyi shook her fan and checked the accounts of the East Palace. Zhu Chanyi found out she was pregnant in May. The Queen was very happy. Now King Rong was detained by the Queen, and he was not allowed to take advantage of it. What other thoughts does the daughter-in-law have on her mind when she is pregnant?

For fear that her son would be plotted against, the Queen specifically asked Your Majesty to send him to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

On the day when King Rong came to the East Palace to complain, Su Xinyi was so happy that he saw a joke. King Rong was laughed at by Su Xinyi, and he suddenly felt that he couldn't hold it in his face, so he left again angrily.

It's interesting when I think of Su Xinyi.

In addition, what is surprising is that Prince Wu's Pei Huiran was found to be pregnant in April. In comparison, Ji Yun, the Princess of Wu, was simply slapped in the face.

There is good news everywhere in the royal family. The emperor is in a good mood. He caught a cold in spring and recovered in less than half a month.

But it was because the old man in the Duke's Mansion was too old that a cold spell lasted for two months before he recovered.

Su Xinyi has been worried because in her previous life, the old lady had lost her temper due to the cold. She asked His Highness to send an imperial doctor to the Duke's Mansion for diagnosis and treatment. His Majesty was also very concerned after hearing about it. The Imperial Hospital worked hard and finally got the result. Su Xinyi was very happy.

When Yan Junchu came back, he saw Xin Yi sitting in the study, frowning and not knowing what he was reading. He walked over gently, looked at her and said, "Why are you coming to the study again? The doctor said, you are now Can’t sit for long periods of time.”

Su Xinyi raised his head when he heard Yan Junchu's voice, calmed down, and then said: "I just came in a while ago, but His Highness came back early today."

Su Xinyi stood up, and Yan Junchu took her hand and walked out, "There are fewer official documents today. How do you feel today? Has the imperial doctor come to check for pulse?"

Su Xinyi felt that she was about to give birth, and the prince was even more nervous than she was. She smiled and said, "The hospital does not dare to neglect. We come here every day to say hello. My pulse is very good today, so you don't have to worry."

How could Yan Junchu not be worried? Su Xinyi was worried about the old man's illness every day, and she lost a lot of weight. Finally, the old man recovered from his illness, and she felt better now. , and I didn’t see a few ounces of meat growing.

"That's good..." Before Yan Junchu could say anything, he looked at Xin Yi's eyebrows and frowned, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

Su Xinyi felt a sharp pain in her waist and abdomen, and her face suddenly turned pale. She held His Highness's hand tightly and was about to say that nothing was wrong, when she heard His Highness shout, "Mr. Xuan!"

The prince's shout made the whole East Palace tense. Nanny She happened to be away. Su Xinyi took a breath and felt that the pain was not so severe. She said to His Highness: "It's okay. I don't feel any pain now."

Yan Junchu carefully helped Xinyi into the inner hall and asked her to sit down. He said with a stern face: "You always don't care. How can you be okay?"

The pain just now made her face pale.

Su Xinyi was about to speak when she suddenly felt the previous severe pain again. There were beads of sweat on her forehead.

The imperial physician came.

Yan Junchu hurriedly asked someone to come in to check her pulse. After checking her pulse, the imperial physician immediately said: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is about to give birth."

Su Xinyi was stunned, and then she suddenly realized and looked at the prince and said: "Maybe this is the wandering pain that Nanny She said..."

She had no experience and didn't know that this was a sign of childbirth. Nanny She did tell her, but she didn't think about it for a while.

The prince held Su Xinyi's hand tightly, and immediately asked someone to clean up the delivery room. Then he looked at the doctor and asked, "How is the Crown Princess now? Why is she in so much pain?"

Su Xinyi is a very pain-tolerant person, but this time her face turned pale with pain, which shows how much pain it was.

The doctor:...

Which woman doesn't feel pain when giving birth?

But since His Royal Highness asked this, he certainly wouldn't dare to answer like this. Is he going to die?

The doctor hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, this is all normal. Just wait for the midwife to come and take care of it. Don't worry."

Su Xinyi also looked at the prince and said, "What the doctor said is right. Madam She also told me so. Your Highness, don't worry."

Yan Junchu had never experienced such a situation, so how could he not worry? His face turned pale, but he didn't want Xinyi to worry, so he could only nod stiffly.

The midwife came on a hot wheel and helped the Crown Princess into the delivery room. Yan Junchu was locked outside the door.

Nanny She hurried back after hearing the news. She was old and out of breath. She didn't even bother to greet His Highness. She just pushed the door open and went in.

Yan Junchu didn't care whether Nanny She was rude or not. Seeing Nanny She go in, he was relieved. He then made time to send someone to the Queen to tell her that the Crown Princess was about to give birth.

After thinking about it, he asked someone around him to report to the Purple Palace. He stood outside the delivery room, pacing anxiously, feeling that the days were passing like years. How could it be so slow?

Moreover, he heard that other people screamed miserably when giving birth, but why didn't his wife make any noise?
