Chapter 114 Mixed
Meng Xinghe didn't dare to delay, and under Huai Xu's urging, he set off without even having time to change his clothes.
Although there were a lot of people along the way, everything was in good order. Palace lanterns lit up slowly, illuminating the entire palace with bright lights.
When Meng Xinghe arrived, the main hall of the Pepper House was full. Empress Dowager Lu and Qin Zhi were already sitting there waiting.
After crossing the threshold of the main hall of the Pepper House, everyone except the palace servants and eunuchs who nodded their heads and lowered their eyebrows looked up at Meng Xinghe, which made her heart tremble.
Meng Xinghe lowered his eyelids to hide the panic in his eyes, stepped forward quickly and saluted:
"I have seen the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health and may Your Majesty be well!"
"Get up."
The Queen Mother didn't even glance at her.
Qin Zhi waved his hand casually and asked Meng Xinghe to stand up.
She raised her head and was about to ask about the Queen's condition, but she saw Concubine Zhen Lu Xinyin, who was standing behind the Queen Mother and Qin Zhi, constantly shaking her head and winking at her. Meng Xinghe immediately shut her mouth and consciously retreated behind Lu Xinyin.
Lu Xinyin turned slightly and nodded at her.
After standing still, Meng Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief and gave Lu Xinyin a grateful smile.
Standing behind the crowd, she looked around quietly and realized that she was the last one to arrive except for Fu Mengli who was about to give birth.
Do you guys run that fast?
Noble concubines and above can ride in a sedan chair, as long as it is faster.
It is understandable that Li Xihua of Yueshi Palace and Yan Shuer of Changchun Palace live close to each other.
What about Jiang Lanzhi of Yilan Palace and Shi Qingzhang of Lanlin Palace? They lived so far away, but they ran faster than her? Were they calculating the queen's due date and always on guard to prepare for the sprint?
Fortunately, he was not scolded. Meng Xinghe sighed again in his heart.
The Queen's first birth was not only a major event for the royal family, but also a major event for the military.
After the Queen's move, none of the court officials who received the news could sleep. They were probably more worried than if they could have children themselves.
"The Queen will start tonight, and after midnight it will be the first day of the first lunar month. This kid really knows how to pick dates!"
The Queen Mother sat there, drinking tea non-stop. Her face was slightly anxious, and her expression seemed both sad and happy.
Queen Shen Ningyue is her daughter-in-law, but not only is she her daughter-in-law, she is also the queen mother of Dayong.
When an ordinary concubine gave birth, the empress dowager could not care and the emperor could not be present, but it was different when the empress gave birth.
When the empress gave birth, even if the emperor fell asleep in the middle of the night, he would be pulled out of bed and forced to accompany her outside the delivery room. The emperor would have to accompany the empress for a day and a night. After the legitimate heir was born, the emperor would immediately go to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth.
How important is it for the queen to give birth to a son? Empress Dowager Lu, who was born in a humble family and entered the palace, has never seen the orders of court officials. She was promoted to empress dowager after only nine months of being the queen because of her son. She was not favored by the previous emperor in her early years, but her position was stable because of her relatively good fertility. She only knew the concept of "importance" but did not have much real feeling.
What the Queen Mother cared about was that she felt Qin Zhi seemed to care about Shen Ningyue. If anything went wrong during Shen Ningyue's delivery, it would be no joke. She secretly glanced at her always cruel emperor son Qin Zhi.
Qin Zhi's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and the rhythm seemed to touch the hearts of everyone present.
"Have you arranged the matters concerning offering sacrifices to the heavens, the earth and the ancestors?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming somewhat tense, the Queen Mother asked.
"In reply to the Queen Mother, everything has been arranged."
Seeing that His Majesty had no intention of paying attention to the Queen Mother, Zhang Deli stood up and answered.
The Queen Mother said nothing more. After Zhang Deli finished his reply, he looked up and saw a young eunuch outside the hall waving at him frantically. From afar, he saw that the young eunuch looked like someone from the Yutang Palace. His heart skipped a beat. He replied and walked quickly towards the young eunuch with big strides.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, Noble Zhi has also started the movement." After whispering a few words, Zhang Deli hurried into the hall to report.
"Noble Concubine Yi!"
"My concubine is here."
"The Jade Hall is now in your hands. Go quickly."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away."
Meng Wuyue didn't say much and took her people to Yutang Palace.
