The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1238: good omen
Chapter 1238 Good omen
When the Bai family was on the verge of the abyss in the middle of the night, Bai Qingyan not only protected the Bai family, but also got the opportunity to go to the battlefield.
Even now, Shen Jingzhong still feels shaken when he thinks of the shocking things Bai Qingyan had done.
When Shen Jingzhong came back to his senses, he saw General Lu holding his official uniform and turning around and hurried away. He hurriedly asked, “General Lu, where are you going?”
“Draft an edict! Go back to the palace and summon the Minister of Revenue to discuss the issue of food and fodder!” General Lu did not even turn his head.
It is inevitable that food and supplies must be sent before troops move forward.
Regardless of whether Bai Qingyan was really planning to attack Yan or was just pretending to scare Yan, they had to make full preparations.
At this time, Bai Qingyan was injured and had given birth to a child, and was on the verge of death. It was not the time for them, the ministers, to argue with Bai Qingyan about right and wrong.
Moreover, Bai Qingyan is the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once the emperor speaks, there is no reason to take it back. General Lu gained Bai Qingyan’s respect and sat in the position of general in order to share Bai Qingyan’s worries!
Besides, as Wei Zhong said, even when the Bai family was facing life and death, Bai Qingyan never did anything wrong because of anger. He believed in the emperor he was loyal to.
Now the entire court is staring at Bai Qingyan’s belly. As for whether Bai Qingyan will give birth to a boy or a girl… most ministers don’t have much concern. After all, Bai Qingyan is the empress. Even if she gives birth to a princess, she can be the crown princess. What the court officials are worried about is that Bai Qingyan will give birth prematurely and whether she can give birth safely.
When Bai Qingyan decided to ascend the throne, many officials were moved by his words about unifying the world…
Take the position of Minister for example. Being the Minister of the Great Zhou and being the Minister of the whole world, although both are officials of the same rank, are actually different.
Most of those who can become officials are smart people, and they all understand that if something really goes wrong with Bai Qingyan’s delivery this time, the hope of unifying the world that their Great Zhou has just seen will most likely be shattered. Then, in their lifetime… they may not be able to see the unification of the country.
However, they are still alive and serving as officials in the court, and they all want to try their best to witness the unification of the country by the Great Zhou Dynasty with their own eyes!
Old Lady Dong, who had been staying at the Dong Mansion in the capital city, could no longer sit still. She knelt in front of the Buddhist shrine and kept counting her rosary beads.
Originally, the daughter-in-law Song came to see Old Madam Dong and wanted to go into the palace to take a look, but Old Madam Dong did not want to cause trouble by going into the palace, so she prayed for Bai Qingyan in the mansion.
Old Madam Dong knelt for the entire night. The personal nanny beside her did not dare to persuade her to stop, but just knelt with her.
Her mother-in-law had not yet rested, and Song had been anxious all night. She drank countless cups of strong tea and sat restlessly in the front hall waiting for Dong Qingping to come back with news.
Even Dong Tingzhen, who was preparing for an exam, was restless and came to the front hall every hour to ask her mother if there was any news from the palace.
The early sun jumped out of the rolling clouds, and the golden light illuminated the golden-tiled eaves of the imperial palace in the capital city… When the lotus base and red pillars appeared, the sea of clouds was filled with rosy clouds, and the purple-gold light seemed to flow in the clouds, attracting many people to climb up and look towards the east, wondering why there would be such a strange phenomenon today.
The officials of the Imperial Observatory also hurried up to the towering platform with double eaves. Seeing the auspicious sign of purple and golden clouds flowing in the east, they immediately thought of Bai Qingyan who was giving birth in the palace.
“What a good omen! This is a great omen!” the official of the Imperial Observatory shouted, “This is a sign of the birth of a wise and enlightened ruler!”
In the palace.
“It’s born! It’s born!” Chuntao and Chunzhi cheered happily in the delivery room, “The big girl is born!”
The fifth lady, Madam Qi, who had been waiting outside the delivery room, quickly put down the strong tea in her hand, stood up, and walked quickly to the door of the delivery room with Madam Liu and Madam Li.
“Abao is fine!”
“Are the mother and child safe? Is he a prince or a princess?”
“Sister-in-law! Is Abao okay?”
The three of them asked almost at the same time.
“Mother and child are safe! It’s a boy!” Mrs. Dong’s relieved voice came.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qingyan cried out in pain in the delivery room, and the three of them suddenly became nervous.
“Sister-in-law! What happened to Abao?” Fifth Madam Qi asked loudly. She couldn’t help but put her hands on the partition, wanting to rush in to take a look.
The midwife still had her hand on Bai Qingyan’s belly and shouted, “There’s one more! There’s one more! Your Majesty is pregnant with another one!”
“Twins!” Fifth Madam Qi’s hands tightened, thinking that Bai Qingyan had been giving birth all night, and was afraid that Bai Qingyan could not hold on, so she asked loudly, “A Bao, do you still have the strength?”
“Quick! Bring the thick ginseng soup here! Quick!” Liu turned around and shouted to the nanny beside her.
Bai Qingyan was in pain for a whole day and night, and her mind went blank for a while. But when she thought of Ayu… When she thought of Ayu covered in blood in her dream, and Xiaoqi whose whereabouts were unknown, she gritted her teeth and tried her best.
“Wow……”
Inside the house, the little prince was already drinking milk from the wet nurse’s breast, and the little princess was born with a kitten-like cry.
Bai Qingyan was so tired that he collapsed on the bed.
The midwife quickly wiped the little princess’s body clean, wrapped her in the swaddling clothes that had been prepared long ago, and handed her to the wet nurse to feed.
Mrs. Dong had no time to look at her grandson and granddaughter. She was busy wiping Bai Qingyan’s sweat with a handkerchief. She choked up and her tears fell: “It’s all right! It’s born!”
Bai Qingyan gasped for breath, too tired to hold on. He glanced at his two children and said in a hoarse voice, “Tell the person who brought back the military report to come to the palace immediately… immediately! I have something to ask!”
Knowing that her daughter missed her brother and sister, Dong also missed them, but she also knew that she could not persuade her daughter, so she just hugged her daughter tightly and kept praying to God not to be so cruel to her. Her son had just returned, and they had not yet officially recognized each other, so she did not want to let them be separated again.
After the midwife cleaned her wound, she was transferred from the delivery room to the bedroom.
The wet nurse fed the baby, and Bai Qingyan’s aunts held the child in their arms.
Fourth Madam Wang held the little princess in her arms, and glanced at the little prince in Second Madam Liu’s arms. She couldn’t help but sigh: “These two little ones are so cute! I have never seen such beautiful little ones at birth!”
“Yes, she is even more beautiful than when Abao was born!” Fifth Madam Qi smiled and looked in the direction of Bai Qingyan, but saw that Bai Qingyan looked solemn. She then remembered that when Bai Qingyan gave birth to the child, she had to arrange troops to destroy Xiliang and guard against Yan State. Then she thought of Bai Qingyan falling off the carriage after reading the military report, and she asked the question in her mind…but she didn’t dare to ask, “Sister-in-law, but what happened to the children in Xiliang?”
When Fifth Madam Qi said this, the other ladies’ backs suddenly tensed up.
