The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

After Qi Pei left, Concubine Qin suddenly felt a little bored, so she invited Concubine Hui to go for a walk in the imperial garden outside.Concubine Hui said that she was a little tired and wanted to take a bath, so she had to wait a while or let Princess Qin go by herself.Qin Wangfei thought about her aunt's bathing routine, so she couldn't get out for more than half an hour, so how could she wait?Then she said softly: "Then Miaozhen will go shopping by herself for a while and she will be back." Concubine Hui agreed, and ordered two calm old maids to follow, saying: "It's good to serve you, don't bump into it."

Not long after Princess Qin entered the Imperial Garden, she was suddenly stopped by a soft female voice: "Princess Qin, please stay!"

Concubine Qin looked back, but she was a beautiful woman in a palace costume with exquisite makeup and a beautiful appearance. In the evening, she was wearing a hazy purple luan tail dress and a moon-white plain brocade inlaid with silver silk borders hanging on her arms. The silk had cast a layer of sadness on her originally beautiful brows.

The court ladies who followed Princess Qin all knelt down and said respectfully: "I have seen Jia Cairen."

Only then did Princess Qin know that the person in front of her was Jia Cairen, the emperor's new favorite, who made her aunt's heart ache with anger.Although Qin Wangfei's rank is very high, but Jia Cairen is the emperor's concubine after all, Qin Wangfei could only bow slightly and said: "I have seen Jia Cairen."

Jia Yuanchun had been standing here for a long time.Although she is now a new favorite, she dare not touch the lice on the tiger's head, and go to Yixiu Palace to talk to Princess Qin, that Concubine Hui is very eccentric, if she meets her once in a while, she still wants to say some heart-piercing words. Is it sent to the door to practice others?Furthermore, with Concubine Hui watching covetously, the matter of begging Qin Wangfei will not go smoothly.After finding out that Princess Qin would go for a walk in the imperial garden and other places with beautiful scenery and flourishing flowers and trees almost every day after dinner because she was pregnant, Jia Yuanchun came up with this method and waited in the shade of flowers at the entrance of the imperial garden.

It seems that Jia Yuanchun's calculation was good. Qin Wangfei really came, but she was alone, and Hui Guifei didn't come out together. It's God's help!

Jia Yuanchun went up to welcome her, and said very amiably: "Oh, I have heard that Qin Wangfei is both talented and beautiful. When I saw her today, she is indeed very charming and charming."

Princess Qin's discomfort became more and more intense, but the other party was the emperor's concubine with a pleasant smile and an amiable attitude, so she had to suppress the discomfort and reluctantly replied with a polite word.

Jia Yuanchun said with a smile: "The princess is also here for a walk? It just so happens that I know that there is a unique scenery in the imperial garden that is worth seeing. Why don't we go and have a look together? It just so happens that I have something big or small that I want to talk to the princess about." .”

Princess Qin is very uncomfortable, but this kind of discomfort is not painful, but the feeling of boredom in the chest, which is a bit like early morning sickness. Jia Cairen probably meant that he felt that there were too many court ladies and it was difficult to talk, so he said to the following court ladies and servants with understanding: "Keep a little distance between you, so don't disturb Jia Cairen and I can talk freely."

Jia Yunchun couldn't help sighing in his heart: Princess Qin is gentle and considerate, much easier to get along with than her aunt.This group of slaves listened to her pleading words, and it is really not a shameful thing for her younger brother, who is a handsome Jia Cairen, to be imprisoned.

After walking to a relatively secluded place, Jia Yuanchun got to the point, but didn't notice that Qin Wangfei was already in a trance.

Because of his impatience and the fact that the sky was already dark, Jia Yuanchun didn't notice anything unusual, he held Qin Wangfei's hand and said, "I'm here today to ask the princess for a matter..."

"My incompetent younger brother, I don't know how to annoy the King of Qin, so Jin Yiwei was arrested and imprisoned. Seeing that the Lantern Festival is approaching, my parents almost cried to death, so I begged the princess to go to the King of Qin to mediate a few words. I will explain to my family that I must restrain my younger brother and not let him cause trouble again..."

It's a pity that Jia Yuanchun's words didn't have any effect at all. Qin Wangfei just listened to her words vaguely for a while, and couldn't hear the real meaning at all. .

Jia Yuanchun grabbed Qin Wangfei's arm and said earnestly, "Princess Qin, please..."

Princess Qin didn't answer, but fell softly into Jia Yuanchun's arms as Jia Yuanchun pulled her.

Only then did Yuan Chun feel something unusual. Looking down, Princess Qin's pretty face in the dim night seemed to have completely lost all color, and was so pale that she couldn't help screaming in fright: "Come on! ..."

About an hour later.

The outer hall of Yixiu Palace.

Jia Yuanchun knelt on the ground, almost crying into tears, his frail body shaking like fallen leaves in a strong wind.

The emperor said angrily: "If you cry again, get out!"

Jia Yuanchun's crying became extremely weak, like a wail of crying held in his throat, extremely sad.

After a while, Concubine Hui came out of the inner hall, and the emperor hurriedly asked, "How is your daughter-in-law? Did you faint because of the labor?"

Concubine Hui said sadly: "Why do you faint during childbirth? The nuns said that Miaozhen was definitely cured by someone. The average pregnant woman will suffer from pain at this time, but she will never be as straight as she is." Die over."

The emperor was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, he rubbed his hands, and asked, "Where is the seventh child? Why has it been passed on for half a day, and no one else has come?"

The servant tremblingly said: "Back to the emperor, Prince Qin went out early in the morning and hasn't returned yet. Even the housekeeper doesn't know where he went, and he's looking for it everywhere now."

The emperor scolded: "I will find time to go out and wander around. At this time, I can't catch people! My sons and daughters are here to collect debts, and I have to worry about everything. I really owe them in my previous life!"

Concubine Hui saw Jia Yuanchun in a blink of an eye, and immediately became furious, as if wishing to swallow her alive, she pointed at her and cursed endlessly, swearing at her every sentence.

Jia Yuanchun knelt on the ground, kept kowtow, and said in a voice that was almost hoarse from crying: "Your Majesty! The concubine really never did anything to Princess Qin! The concubine just met Qin Princess in the imperial garden, and said a few words." In a word, she suddenly collapsed, and my concubine hastily caught her body, and hurriedly brought her here, and the rest, my concubine doesn't know anything..."

The emperor believed this, saying that Jia Cairen and Princess Qin should have nothing against each other, and if Jia Cairen really wanted to do something to Princess Qin, he would do it secretly, so how could he be caught alive?

However, Concubine Hui had another thought. She said that Jia Yuanchun had been favored by the emperor, and she was already jealous of him. However, this person was about her age. However, this time my niece was unlucky, but it was a great opportunity to bring down Jia Yuanchun, how could I miss it?

Concubine Hui sneered and said: "I dare say you don't know! My niece and daughter have always been good, but when I met you, something happened! You must have made a fool of yourself..."

Jia Yuanchun had no choice but to fight back and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine was wronged...Maybe Qin Wangfei ate something by mistake or was tricked by someone before she met the concubine. It's just that the concubine is very unlucky. When she has an attack!"

Concubine Hui didn't hear this, she simply spit on Jia Yuanchun's face and cursed loudly.

The emperor must have been protecting Concubine Hui at such a time, but seeing that Jia Yuanchun was pitifully trampled by Concubine Hui, he waved his hand and said, "Stop talking! It bothers me! Just forget it if you have something to do. Can't get rid of it!"

After hearing this, Concubine Hui was dissatisfied, and cried, "Your Majesty, what does this have to do with my concubine? Does the emperor think that my concubine will harm his niece and daughter?"

The emperor said: "Who told you to bring her into the palace all the time? If something happened to her in her own palace, Lao Qi wouldn't be able to blame us!"

Concubine Hui couldn't help crying, the emperor ordered his servants to help her in, and said, "Okay, help the concubine go down to have a rest, my head is getting dizzy from the noise."

I don't know how long after that, while waiting impatiently, the hospital envoy came out tremblingly, knelt down and said: "I report to the emperor, I am humble and incompetent, please punish the emperor..."

The emperor grabbed his skirt suddenly and shouted, "What's going on? You should explain clearly!"

The court emissary's thin body trembled with fright, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, forgive me. The humble official thought that the princess should have taken some deadly drug, which is definitely not the reaction of a normal pregnant woman. Now the princess is weak. Nine out of ten, the vitality has been injured, but the birth canal has not been fully opened, and the child will not be born for a long time. If this continues, I am afraid that the princess and the child will..."

Concubine Hui rushed out from the inner hall again, knelt on the ground, hugged the emperor's feet, and cried, "No, Your Majesty, Miaozhen is only 17 years old, and the child can still be born..."

The emperor slumped and let go, closed his eyes and meditated in silence.

The court envoy fell down on the ground, got up at this moment, fell at the emperor's feet, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, this is not the time to be sad, you should make up your mind, otherwise, the child will never come out, the princess and the child I can't keep it. Your Majesty, look..."

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes, but drooped his shoulders tiredly, and said weakly, "Save the child. I hope that the seventh child will come. Don't blame me."

The court envoy hurriedly kowtowed, turned around and rushed towards the inner hall.

Later, the maidservants in the inner hall received the order of "the emperor's oral order, and the emperor's grandson is the first." They acted quickly and tactfully.

About an hour later, with a baby crying like a cat, the court envoy walked out quickly, knelt on the ground, and said, "Report to the emperor, the princess has given birth to a little grandson, but the princess... is dead... ...and...the little emperor's grandson who was just born...who can't see..."
