Chapter 1074 Two Dragons Hover Over the Forbidden City

And Zhuang Gui gave birth to a concubine daughter.

Don't these two sentences have the same meaning?

Are there other differences?

However, seeing that the Queen Mother would not be able to coax her well for a while, Aunt Cui couldn't say much.

Save too many words and mistakes, but the atmosphere will be even worse.

Mrs. Zhuang Gui was tired all day and did not give birth.

The master and servant only cared about whether it was Elder Brother or Ge Ge.

No one cared about Zhuang Guiren at all, let alone her life or death.

Suddenly, the wooden door inside finally opened.

The queen mother stood up anxiously, thinking that she hadn't heard the cry yet, so she gave birth?

However, it is not the midwife who announces the good news.

Instead, there are court ladies in twos and threes, carrying basins of bloody water.

The queen mother frowned, and asked anxiously: "How is it going inside? It's been a day, why is there still no movement?"

A court lady held a water basin and said: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, Mrs. Zhuang Gui is the first child, plus the fetus grows bigger, so it is naturally more difficult to give birth than ordinary people."

"Can you see the head?" asked the Queen Mother.

The maid nodded, "I can see it."

"So can you tell if it's Elder Brother or Ge Ge?" The Queen Mother asked impatiently.

The maid shook her head, "You can't see it, you have to be born to know. Now you can only see the head, anyway, the hair grows quite thick."

"Queen Mother, did you hear that the hair grows thicker? Generally, boys have thicker hair than girls." Aunt Cui said with a smile.

The corner of the queen mother's mouth also evoked a slight smile, and she waved her hand to the maid, "Okay, go ahead and do what you are supposed to do, and be quicker."

"Yes." After the maid answered, she went out to change the water.

The Queen Mother also sat down again.

However, as soon as her butt touched the chair, she heard a particularly loud baby cry from inside: "Wow... woah... woah... "

Hearing this cry, the Queen Mother immediately stood up again.

She happily took Aunt Cui's hand and asked, "Is this the birth?"

Aunt Cui nodded, and replied: "You heard me right, this noble man is considered to have given birth. Empress Dowager, not to mention, this full-term baby cries louder."

"That's natural. When the Ai family was fourteen years old, the sound resounded throughout the Forbidden City." The Queen Mother said with experience.

Aunt Cui smiled lightly, and said to herself that when you were born the emperor, that resounded throughout the Forbidden City!

There are also two dragons hovering over the Forbidden City.

The master and servant just stood and waited for a while.

The two pairs of eyes wanted to see through the wooden door.

Not long after, a midwife came out with a colorful swaddle.

After seeing the swaddling baby, the queen mother's eyes sank.

Because only girls use the kind of swaddle with flowers.

Sure enough, the midwife walked in front of her, knelt down and said, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, Zhuang Gui gave birth to a special character."

Aunt Cui bent down, hugged Little Gege in her arms, and looked carefully.

"Little Gege is so handsome." She handed little Gege to the Queen Mother, and said, "Queen Mother, you can give me a hug too."

The queen mother didn't even look at it, she just snorted coldly and said: "It's the same as not being born, it's a waste of mourning."

Hearing this, Aunt Cui smiled awkwardly, hugged Little Gege in her arms, and said nothing.

Such is the case with this dynasty.

It doesn't matter whether rich or poor people don't like girls very much.

It's okay in the royal family, just don't wait to see the girl after giving birth, and will still raise it after all.

But the poor are different.

Anyway, no matter how poor the family is, there is no shortage of a pair of chopsticks for their sons.

But every breath my daughter takes is redundant.

Many people are born as a girl and give up.

They were either thrown in the barren mountains, or strangled to death and thrown into the back mountains.

There is even a folk place called the Abandoned Baby Tower.

Basically, they were abandoned babies who had died and were thrown there.

"Okay, since the childbirth has been done safely, Ai's family will go back to the palace first, and you will stay here to wait on Mrs. Zhuang after confinement, and then bring her back to the palace." After finishing speaking, the queen mother glanced at Aunt Cui.

The disappointment is real, after all, she belongs to the Wuya clan just like Zhuang Guiren.

Counting on the first son after ascending the throne, there is also hope in the future.

But even if you have a baby, no matter how dissatisfied you can't just ignore life and death.

It's just that I went back to the palace earlier, so it's pure if I don't see it.

Aunt Cui eye-catchingly handed Little Gege back to the midwife, and then left with the Queen Mother.

In the room, Zhuang Guiren finally worked hard all day to give birth to such a child.

Already slumped on the bed weakly.

His heart was heaving violently, and his mouth and nose were also breathing rapidly.

Because it was summer, her hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks and forehead, so she was in a mess.

But no matter how hard and painful it is, it is not as painful as hearing the empress dowager's ruthless words.

A pair of eyes that were scarlet from the tiredness of childbirth were already stained with misty tears.

The eyes are full of deep sorrow and helplessness in this dynasty.

Who made this Qing Dynasty where men are superior to women.

In the royal family, having a daughter is like not having one.

Because the royal family has paid attention to the marriage between Manchu and Mongolia for many years.

When she grows up, Princess will marry into the Mongolian tribe.

Therefore, she can even imagine how difficult the days ahead will be.

Although when she was in the harem, she often said that there might be a little princess in her stomach.

That was just to distract the harem concubines' attention and hatred.

But if she really gave birth to a princess, she would naturally be a little disappointed.

The first son after ascending the throne, if he said he didn't want to, that would be a lie.

What can she do now? I can only accept my fate!

How to put it, it is better to have a little princess than nothing.

And with her status, she couldn't raise the child under her knees.

When she is out of confinement, she has to find a safe nanny or foster mother for her daughter.

Thinking of this, she smiled self-deprecatingly.

If it is the first son after ascending the throne, he is not afraid that no one will take care of him.

Maybe those people in the harem are all vying for it.

However, she was born a princess.

I'm afraid those people in the harem don't want it very much, and even mock her.

Because she was the first to conceive after the emperor ascended the throne.

There have been rumors in the palace that she will give birth to the first son after ascending the throne.

Looking at it now, I am afraid that everyone will put their hopes on the empress.

Forget it, don't want to.

Zhuang Guiren closed her eyes, she was tired, too tired...

The Forbidden City in the early morning of the next day was exactly as Zhuang Guiren imagined.

As the Queen Mother returned to the palace, the news that Zhuang Guiren gave birth to Xiao Gege spread all over the Forbidden City.

And the Forbidden City was also staring at Ruoyin's stomach up and down.

Pin the hope of being the first son after ascending the throne on her.

Even the Empress Dowager ordered people to reward her with a lot of things to Yongshou Palace, and sent servants over every now and then to express condolences.

He also said that when Ruoyin gave birth, she must pray in Kunning Palace.
