Chapter 174 It's really weird
Xiuchun carefully wrote down these words and repeated them silently in her mind several times before she got up and left.
It is now more convenient for her to leave the palace than when she was in the Eastern Palace. As the most trusted female official beside the Queen, she has her own badge and can go out at any time.
After Xiuchun left, Jiang Wanyue did not rest either. She asked Mier to send someone to monitor the situation in Liufang Palace and report back at any time.
After Wei Fuxue gave birth, she was the first to get the news.
However, this news is indeed a bit unexpected.
"It's a daughter? Not a son?"
Jiang Wanyue couldn't hide the surprise on her face.
"Didn't the imperial physician say it was a son?"
Mi Er also looked puzzled: "I don't know either. Several imperial doctors have clearly said that the baby is a prince. I didn't expect that it would be a princess."
She wrinkled her nose and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Your Highness, do you think that the imperial physician was bribed by Concubine Rong and deliberately said that she was pregnant with a prince, hoping to use this opportunity to gain the emperor's favor?"
This is of course impossible.
How could Wei Fuxue have the ability to bribe the imperial doctors now? How many more could he bribe?
She was afraid that the imperial physician might not be able to arrive in time!
Every time the imperial physician went to take her pulse, Wei Fuxue would put on heavy makeup and cover her face, for fear of being recognized by her former identity.
She has been hiding in the past few months and dared not go out. Apart from the unstable fetus, the biggest reason is that she is afraid of being recognized.
"Perhaps the imperial doctors made a mistake."
Jiang Wanyue said this, but she didn't believe it in her heart.
If only one imperial physician made a mistake, it would be understandable. However, the physicians who diagnosed Wei Fuxue's pulse were all the best in the Imperial Hospital. How could they all be wrong?
This matter is indeed a bit strange.
Jiang Wanyue's mind moved and she suddenly stood up.
"The birth of the little princess is indeed a great joyous event in the palace, and I should go and see it. Mi'er, Xing'er, come with me to Liufang Palace."
Mi'er and Xing'er responded in unison.
Jiang Wanyue, along with a group of palace maids and eunuchs, walked out of Fenglai Palace, got on the phoenix chariot, and headed northeast.
The group arrived at Liufang Palace in a grand procession.
Jiang Wanyue got off the sedan chair just as Aunt Sun came out of the hall.
When Aunt Sun saw her, she walked quickly forward and asked directly without even bothering to greet her.
"Where's Xiuchun? Has she told the queen?"
Aunt Sun had a serious look on her face, and it was obvious that she was still angry.
Jiang Wanyue nodded lightly: "This matter, to be honest, it's my fault. I didn't explain it to her clearly, so she misunderstood. Godmother, don't blame Xiuchun, blame me if you want to blame someone!"
Aunt Sun raised her hand.
"Don't! You are the Empress now, I cannot bear the responsibility of being your godmother. Don't think of taking responsibility for Xiuchun's matter, it is clearly her own fault. As her master, since she made a mistake, it is my responsibility to teach her. If you really want to do this for her own good, you shouldn't protect her like this."
Aunt Sun's tone became solemn.
"In fact, there are some things I wanted to say some time ago, but now I have to say them. Now everything in the palace is stable, and you have many people around you to order around. I want to wait for Xiuchun to leave the palace."
Jiang Wanyue was shocked and blurted out without thinking.
"no!"
Aunt Sun raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, but didn't try to persuade her, she just said something.
"You don't have to refuse now. Think carefully about what is good for Xiuchun when you go back. I'll come to see you again in two days."
After saying this, Aunt Sun bowed hastily and left.
When the two were talking, the other palace maids and eunuchs all stepped away and did not hear their conversation clearly.
But Mi'er and Xing'er were close by and heard it.
Mier looked angry.
"How can Aunt Sun be like this! Even if she is Sister Xiuchun's godmother, she can't talk to the queen like this! It's too rude. Madam Jiang has never said this to the queen!"
Xing'er looked at Jiang Wanyue worriedly.
"Miss?"
Jiang Wanyue came back to her senses and her expression changed.
"Walk."
She walked into the hall first.
The next moment, two midwives came forward and saluted.
Jiang Wanyue only called after she sat down in the main seat.
"How is Concubine Rong? Where's the little princess? Bring her out for me to see."
"To answer the Queen, Concubine Rong was exhausted during childbirth and is now sleeping." The long-faced nanny took the initiative to reply.
Jiang Wanyue raised her eyebrows: "Exhausted? Was it difficult for Concubine Rong to give birth?"
"Yes, but fortunately there was no danger, and in the end the mother...daughter is safe. Sun Siyao has already checked it out, and it's nothing serious, but she has lost too much blood, so she needs to take good supplements in the future."
There was nothing wrong with what the long-faced nanny said, except for a slight pause in the middle.
Jiang Wanyue's eyes moved slightly.
She keenly captured the pause.
But before she could ask, the round-faced nanny came out with the wet nurse and two palace maids.
The wet nurse, holding the swaddling clothes, was pulled to the front by the round-faced nanny and bowed respectfully.
Jiang Wanyue didn't let the wet nurse finish her ceremony and started calling out directly.
"No need to be so polite. Be careful with the child. Bring the child here so I can take a look."
The nurse did as she was told, carried the child forward, opened a corner of the swaddling clothes, and revealed a cute little baby girl.
Jiang Wanyue looked at the child. His skin was fair with a rosy glow, his hair was thick, his eyelashes were long, and his cheeks were chubby. He was extremely cute.
only……
"Why is this child sleeping so soundly?"
Jiang Wanyue frowned.
Most newborn babies will cry for a while if they are suddenly away from their familiar environment.
She had never seen a baby so quiet right after birth.
Before the wet nurse could speak, the nanny at the side rushed to answer.
"Just now the nurse fed her, and the little princess fell asleep after she was full."
After saying this, she continued in a tone that did not stop.
"Just now, I have taken the little princess to see the emperor. The emperor was very pleased and gave the little princess a name on the spot."
Jiang Wanyue glanced at her.
"Oh? What name did the Emperor choose?"
The round-faced nanny took out the piece of paper and handed it to Jiang Wanyue in a flattering manner.
"Empress Rong has been sleeping and hasn't even seen it yet! Please have a look, Empress."
Jiang Wanyue opened the paper and saw three words.
Li Chengqing.
An ordinary name.
However, I wonder if the word "Qing" chosen by Li Ce was a random choice or had some other intention?
Clear, clear, pure...
"It's a good name. It shows that the emperor put a lot of thought into it."
Jiang Wanyue smiled slightly.
"Put this next to Concubine Rong's pillow! Thank you for your hard work, both maids. Come, give us a reward!"
She waved her hand, and Xing'er immediately came forward with two palace maids and presented the prepared gold and silver to the two maids.
The two men's eyes lit up, and they quickly took the box and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
"Empress Rong is weak, and the little princess needs someone to take care of her. One wet nurse is not enough, so I'll have to trouble two nurses to stay here for two more days. You can leave the palace after the third day of the bath!"
Jiang Wanyue stood up.
"Come here, clean up the side hall and give it to the two maids to stay in temporarily."
As she spoke, she pointed to the two palace maids who came with her.
"You two stay here and serve the two maids well."
