Chapter 255 Added another little princess

Jiankang Palace.

"Your Majesty, Wu Meiren has a seizure and is about to give birth!" After hearing the report from the palace maid, Anu went into the palace to remind Li Jingfu.

Li Jingfu was reviewing the memorial. After listening to his words, his hand shook and a drop of ink fell on the memorial. He couldn't care about the smudged memorial. He put down the ink pen and asked eagerly: "It's not that the date has not come yet, why?" Just had an attack?"

Anu stepped forward to help Li Jingfu up and replied: "I heard that the palace maid said that Wu Meiren got up early for a walk and slipped in the garden."

After that, he added: "There was heavy dew in the garden early in the morning, probably because the road surface has not dried yet."

Li Jingfu sighed inwardly after hearing this, "Then let's go and take a look."

To be honest, he has many sons, and he doesn't really care about whether he has any more children. It's just that this child was born to him in his later years, so he naturally pays more attention to it and doesn't want anything to happen to the child.

When the emperor arrived at the harem, the courtyard where Wu Meiren lived was already busy, and Wu Meiren's cries of pain could be heard from time to time in the delivery room.

Hearing this, Li Jingfu frowned, "What's the situation inside? Why hasn't the baby been born yet?"

"Your Majesty, women don't give birth so quickly. They have to take some time." The nun in charge of the birth ran over and replied.

Li Jingfu wanted to say that since it was not so fast, he would go back first, but before he could turn around, he saw Anu directing the palace maid to bring in chairs, coffee tables, fruits, snacks and tea. The preparations were so complete that he was embarrassed to throw them away.

After setting up the chairs and sitting down, Li Jingfu waved to his grandma, "Go and do your work quickly. Don't hang around here. It annoys me just looking at you!"

The screams coming from the delivery room from time to time made Li Jingfu's heart beat with fear. It was too scary for a woman to give birth.

"Anu, the queen and several concubines used to have such a formation when they gave birth?"

Anu nodded helplessly, "A woman's delivery is like passing through the gate of hell. If she's not careful, she will die."

Li Jingfu frowned and listened to the screams coming from the room. He rubbed his forehead and wondered if his heart had softened as he got older. Otherwise, why would he have come to the door of the delivery room to listen to the woman giving birth? Scream?
When he was young, he didn't go to town when the princess or her concubine gave birth.

"Your Majesty, how is my sister?"

When Li Jingfu heard the question, he turned around and saw that it was the former Aunt Wang and now the Concubine Xian.

"How did you come?"

Concubine Xian came forward and bowed to Li Jingfu before standing behind him and saying, "I have nothing to do in the palace. When I heard that my sister was having an attack, I came over to see if I could help."

As he said that, he looked at Li Jingfu, but he didn't expect that the emperor was also here.

Recalling that when she and her sisters gave birth, Li Jingfu never stood outside the delivery room door, but he never expected that this newly minted beauty would be so lucky to have the emperor personally guard her.

Li Jingfu nodded: "You are serious."

"This is what I should do as a concubine. The Queen is not in the palace. As an old man, I have to keep an eye on the harem for you, Your Majesty."

After saying that, Concubine Xian wiped the sweat from her forehead. It was obvious that she came all the way in a hurry. She advised: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. These are all things that women must go through to give birth. It will take several hours to give birth. If you have anything, Just go and do your work first, my concubine is here to watch."

Li Jingfu felt uncomfortable all over when he heard the high and low screams in the delivery room. After hearing Concubine Xian's words, he happened to borrow Poxia's donkey and said, "Okay, you'll have to work hard here. I'll go back to review the memorial first."

Anu cleverly stepped forward to help Li Jingfu up, and Concubine Xian hurriedly sent the emperor off.

But before Li Jingfu could step out of the hospital, a shrill cry of pain came from the delivery room, which frightened him so much that he staggered. If Anu hadn't been holding him, he would have fallen to the ground.

"what happened?"

Anu looked at Concubine Xian with questioning eyes.

Concubine Xian was about to find out more about the situation when she saw the door open and a nanny running out of the delivery room.

She hurriedly ran to Concubine Xian and said in horror: "Mother, mother"

"Oh! Stop calling me mother. I can't give birth to an old girl like you. What's going on inside? How is the mother doing?"

Concubine Xian was so anxious that she stuttered. She was really anxious. Didn't you see that the emperor's eyes were widening?
Grandma said in a trembling voice: "Mother, inside, the mother's feet came out first!"

"The feet came out first!" Concubine Xian was so frightened that her face turned pale and she collapsed on the chair.

Grandma sighed sadly: "Yes, only one foot comes out. If we want to keep the baby small at this time, we can only push the little foot in and forcefully turn it around. This process has little impact on the baby, but it is extremely harmful to the mother. possible"

Concubine Xian looked at Li Jingfu who had left and returned with a troubled expression, "Your Majesty, look"

Li Jingfu's face was extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words: "Keep me safe!"

Concubine Xian was so frightened that she trembled all over. She turned her head and shouted at her grandma: "You are not deaf, are you? You should understand what the emperor just said. Please go in quickly and protect the little prince!"

"Oh oh oh, slave, come in now." Mammy has encountered this situation many times when delivering babies. When the emperor said that she would take care of the baby, she felt confident.

It is far easier to keep a baby alive than a baby, and they will have no worries about the mother.

Next, amidst the screams of the mother, the baby was born. As the baby's cry came from the delivery room, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, the door of the delivery room opened, and the nanny came out holding a swaddling baby, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are a little princess."

"Princess?" Li Jingfu didn't seem to expect that it was a girl. Joy flashed across his face, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Let me have a look."

Concubine Xian, who was standing nearby, raised her eyebrows and took two steps forward to congratulate the emperor.

As for the mother, there was a tacit understanding that no one mentioned it. After the child was born, she didn't hear anything from the mother, and she was probably dead.

Li Jingfu cared deeply about the little princess, so he said calmly: "It's a grand burial."

Concubine Xian and Anu looked at each other and silently wrote down the matter.

Li Jingfu handed the little princess to his aunt and said, "She was born without a mother and is a poor child. From now on, she will be raised in the palace of a wise concubine."

Concubine Xian seemed to have expected it, and agreed calmly, "Si'er has not come back from the capital. It just so happens that I have nothing to do. I will definitely take good care of her as my own child."

Li Jingfu nodded: "I will have to work hard for Concubine Xian from now on."

"This is my concubine's business. It's just that the little princess is raised in my concubine's palace. If the queen knows about it." "I will write to her to explain the situation. You don't have to worry about this. Just take good care of the child." .”

With the emperor's guarantee, Concubine Xian happily took the little princess from her mother's arms and kissed her.

In the past two days, the courtiers found that the emperor's face was full of youth, which made it obvious that there was a happy event in the family. As for the sacrificed mother, no one mentioned that it was the emperor's bad luck.

Taking advantage of the emperor's happiness these days, Zuo Pushe stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the rebels have been put down recently and there is no war in the country. Should we prepare to move back to the capital before the snow falls?"

Li Jingfu knew that it would be a matter of time before the country was pacified and he would move back to the capital. However, he was not sure when would be the best time to move back to the capital, so he looked at Zhang Shidao, his former aide Mr. Zhang.

"It's only a matter of time before we move back to the capital, but we don't need to move there in such a hurry. If we want to move back with our troops and people, it must be complicated. Why not delay for a few months and wait until spring next year before moving back to the capital? " Zhang Shi said after weighing the situation.

Zuo Pushe was very dissatisfied with Zhang Shiduo's opposition to him, so he questioned: "There are empresses and princes in the capital who can take care of everything. I wonder what Mr. Zhang has to worry about?"

Zhang Shisao glanced at Zuo Pushe, turned to the emperor and said: "It is only a short time after the autumn harvest. Presumably the Queen and the Crown Prince in the capital are preparing for the defense along the Great Wall in autumn and winter. In this case, let's not rush in. Return to the capital."

The implication is that in autumn and winter Beidi rushed to the pass to grab grain. In order to avoid accidents and for safety reasons, it was best for them to miss this time and go back.

At this moment, Li Jingfu also thought of the border defense along the Great Wall. Although Dayu had now put down the rebellion, he was not yet so arrogant that Dayu's soldiers and horses were invincible.

"Zhang Aiqing is very considerate. In this case, in order to prevent the prince and the queen from being distracted from defending the enemy, we should stay in Jiankang and not cause trouble for them. But everyone should still prepare. When the spring comes next year, we will Let’s set off.”

The emperor disagreed, and no matter how impatient the courtiers were, there was nothing they could do. The distribution of benefits in the Gyeonggi area would probably make the queen grab all the money, and she would probably have no more soup to drink when she returns next year.

Li Jingfu looked at the unwilling expressions of the ministers and was too lazy to pay attention. Instead, he talked about another matter, "In the capital, the queen is busy with infrastructure construction every day. The highway and railway from the capital to Lingnan were tendered some time ago. You have to eat hard food every day. Gotta find something to do.”

When the ministers heard this, their hearts started to lift.

"We can't rely on the Queen to help repair this section of the road from Jiankang to Beijing. You can also do some work. Starting from tomorrow morning, everyone will donate money and materials to try to build it all the way and join the Queen's construction team as soon as possible."

As soon as Li Jingfu finished speaking, the legs of the ministers in the court became weak. In the past, the court discussed all national affairs, but now the court discussed how to extract money from their pockets.

"Your Majesty, if you need money or a life, you can take it at any time!"

Some people couldn't stand this wave of harvesting leeks and stood up to speak out.

The emperor thought about how to plunder them all day long. Going to court was equivalent to losing money, and losing money was equivalent to killing their lives. Therefore, Dayu's going to court was equivalent to asking for money and life.

The ministers couldn't stand it when they thought of the money looted by the emperor during this period.

"Your Majesty, even if you run errands in the inn, you will still have an income in a month. However, we come to court every day before dawn. As a result, our salary for a month is not worth a penny, and we have to pay for the dowry of our daughter-in-law. How do you think this is happening?"

Li Jingfu said with a dark face: "Don't cry about being poor, you can say that you are all rich enough to stay rich!"

These words did not give any face to the ministers.

Yu Jiankang and other court officials had long since died.

Today's ministers are actually a group of polite scum who are corrupt and bend the law. It is more practical to expect them to govern Yu the Great than to believe that a sow can climb a tree.

As the queen said, Dayu's foundation stone was rotten, so instead of repairing it, it would be better to dig the foundation and build it again.
-
Very few properties in the capital have been repurchased by various forces. Of course, Xia Jing also left a batch of properties for future rewards to meritorious ministers or for arranging arrangements for royal relatives and foreign relatives.

These remaining industries are undoubtedly superior in terms of location and quality.

On this day, Xia Jing accidentally wandered to the Imperial Academy of the former capital, a beautiful mountainside outside the capital, with tall trees and few buildings. It was a quiet and quiet place for reading.

It's just that the teachers and students of the Imperial College have not returned yet, and almost everyone on the entire campus has disappeared, making it seem too lonely.

After wandering around for a short time, Xia Jing saw a middle-aged man practicing boxing on the hillside. She found it strange to see him practicing boxing in a long shirt.

When she walked over, the man had already stopped.

"Sir, you are sweating."

Hearing someone reminding him, Ji Jingming turned around and smiled politely: "Madam, do you know that I am the gentleman here?"

Xia Jing pointed to the robe he was wearing, "Only Mr. can dress like this when practicing boxing."

Ji Jingming lowered his head and looked at his clothes, and said with a chuckle: "Madam, you have good eyesight. My surname is Ji and my name is Jingming. I am the gentleman here. Madam, why are you here today?"

"Just take a walk." After saying that, Xia Jing pointed to his robe, "It's windy in the mountains, and sir is already sweating. It's better to change clothes first, lest your body loses its temperature due to the mountain wind. Wind chill.”

Ji Jingming smiled calmly, took out a robe from the bag next to him and put it on his body, "This way you won't be afraid of catching the cold."

"What temperature did the lady just say? Do you mean body temperature?"

Xia Jing nodded slightly: "In your case, it refers to body temperature."

"How can you tell the temperature without being a professional doctor?" Ji Jingming instantly turned into a curious baby, asking questions one after another.

Xia Jing: "You can use a thermometer to measure it. The freezing point is zero degrees and the normal body temperature is 37 degrees. Generally, 36 degrees is considered normal body temperature."

Ji Jingming's eyes shone now, and his whole person was filled with vitality. "What is a thermometer?"

Xia Jing realized at this moment that this gentleman was very interested in everything she said, which showed that he was an exploratory person.

So, she started to tell them the purpose of the thermometer and how to deal with it if it broke.

"What you are talking about is somewhat similar to the internal combustion engine made in Lingnan. It expands when heated and contracts when cooled." Ji Jingming said.

Xia Jing's eyes lit up when she heard what he said, "Sir, you actually know that heat rises and cold shrinks. How many years have you been here? How many students have you taught?"

"Hahaha!" Ji Jingming was amused by her question, "How could the Imperial College be allowed to teach these miscellaneous subjects in a serious place of study? Apart from teaching students in the first year here, I have been managing other affairs of the Imperial College since then. "

"Is it because you are more interested in miscellaneous studies that the Imperial College does not dare to let you teach students?" Xia Jing pursed her lips and asked.

Ji Jingming admitted generously, "That's right. The main reason is that the students who come to the Imperial College to study are all here for fame!"
