Chapter 297 Knowing People
This was Qin Liuse's first time giving birth, so it was quite difficult.
After lunch at noon, it was almost evening and the sun was setting in the west.
Qin Liuse was so tired that he fell into a deep sleep, unaware of anything.
Although she was unconscious, news of her affairs spread quickly from Zhaoyang Palace without her knowing anything about it.
The news spread quickly in the harem. Before dinner time, almost the entire harem knew that Qin Liuse had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
Some people know it quickly, and some people know it late.
As early as when Emperor Yongjia and Concubine Xiao De came back from the Autumn Eve Banquet, some "interested people" had already sent their own people to guard outside the Zhaoyang Palace, waiting to get their first-hand information.
So after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, everyone returned to the palace. Not only could they not take a nap, they couldn’t even have a cup of tea in peace.
Concubine Xin Shu was one of those who sent her father-in-law to Zhaoyang Palace.
Chuxiu Palace was not far from Zhaoyang Palace, so after returning to Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Xin Shu would send someone over to ask after half an incense stick of time.
It seems that he is even more nervous than Qin Liuse himself.
Concubine Xin Shu was so restless that she even went to the Buddha to pray and beg the gods not to let her give birth to a good baby.
One hour and then two hours passed, and there was still no news from the other side.
Concubine Xin Shu was so happy that she thought it would be best if the Buddha could show his power again and never come out again!
Who knew that after waiting and waiting, when the eunuch ran in from outside, he heard the news, "Replying to Concubine Shu, Concubine Qin over there has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl!"
The young eunuch ran all the way here, out of breath, and spoke incoherently.
When Concubine Xin Shu heard this, she thought she had misheard.
"What did you say?"
"Qin, Qin Zhaoyi, Zhaoyi, gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl." The young eunuch could tell Concubine Xin Shufei was unhappy, and his eyes were trembling as he said this.
Concubine Xin Shu was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't know how to react for a moment, because she hadn't digested the news yet.
But after a moment, he recovered and said, "Twins, boy and girl?"
The young eunuch lowered his head again and said, "Yes, they are twins, a boy and a girl. The fifth prince will come out first, followed by the princess."
Concubine Xin Shu was furious and exploded, "I already said they were twins, boy and girl. Do I need you to tell me that the prince will be a princess? Do you think I'm as stupid as you guys?"
"Get out! Get out now! Don't let me see you!"
The eunuch was trembling all the way back, and he knew that his job was not an easy one. So after hearing what Concubine Xin Shu said, the eunuch ran away, not wanting to offend Concubine Xin Shu.
Concubine Xin Shu was so angry that she couldn't sit still.
One hand was placed on the table, clenched tightly, and it felt like he was about to choke on his breath.
"How can they be twins?"
Concubine Xin gritted her teeth and said, "I worked so hard to give birth to two babies, but they are not as lucky as her one!"
Seeing Concubine Xin Shu like this, the maid hurried over to help her with her back, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. We have everything we need. If Your Majesty wants a little prince tomorrow, then Your Majesty will have more children than her, and she will have won."
Concubine Xin Shu was now a little calmer, but she felt a pain in her forehead. "Did he just say, Your Majesty, has the Emperor been guarding there until now?"
The maid shook her head, indicating that the eunuch did not say anything.
But in fact, it is not difficult to know that Emperor Yongjia rushed over before the Autumn Festival Banquet was over, and now the sun was about to set when the eunuch came to report the news.
It was obvious that the emperor had been with her until now, but the maid just pretended that she had never expected it.
The news that Qin Liuse gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, was more interesting than the previous news that someone was banished to the cold palace.
Therefore, after a concubine like Concubine Xin Shufei got the first-hand information, the news quickly spread throughout the harem.
Liu Yiyi, who always had a good temper, overturned the dinner that was on the table when she heard the news.
This was the first time she got so angry that the maid serving her was so scared that she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Liu Yiyi took great pains to dress up today, intending to stand out from the crowd.
Who would have thought that Emperor Yongjia didn't even take a glance at her. Now he came back, rested for an afternoon, and was still wearing the same clothes, but he heard the news that Qin Liuse had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
At this moment, Liu Yiyi really couldn't eat a single bite of food.
She had a miscarriage, so why was Qin Liuse able to get pregnant, and even pregnant with two babies at once? It was hard to imagine how proud she would be now.
And Concubine Li Xian, who had the time to tease Concubine Xin Shufei at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, now couldn't even smile.
As happy as I was just now when I teased Concubine Xin Shu, I feel as uncomfortable now.
She was in the mood to tease Concubine Xin Shu like that because she was thinking that at worst she would just give birth to a prince, and she was not the only one with a prince in the palace, so Concubine Li was in the mood to make trouble for Concubine Xin Shu.
But who would have known that God would not only give her a noble prince, but also a princess.
Concubine Li Xian almost couldn't breathe. She held her head and asked the maid to help her sit down on the side.
When the maid asked her if she wanted dinner, Concubine Li angrily said, "Do you think I can eat now?"
Regardless of whether Concubine Li could eat or not, Emperor Yongjia stayed in Zhaoyang Palace for dinner tonight. He even had one extra bowl because he was in a good mood.
After dinner, Emperor Yongjia returned to the eastern room of the main hall. Qin Liuse had not woken up yet.
Emperor Yongjia sent the wet nurses to carry the princes and princesses to the west room for fear of disturbing Qin Liuse.
Qin Liuse's complexion at this time was better than when she had just given birth. After enduring ten months, she finally gave birth. Now that she was asleep, her brows and eyes were much more relaxed.
But the wound still hurts, and I frown from time to time. I don’t know if it’s because of the pain or I’m dreaming.
Qin Liuse had a pomegranate-patterned headband with a red background and gold thread on her forehead. Emperor Yongjia reached out his hand and gently stroked her face with his fingertips, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Qin Liuse slept soundly and vaguely thought she was giving birth to a baby, but in a daze, she seemed to know that she had given birth and could go to sleep.
After repeating this over and over again, I opened my eyes again and still couldn't adapt to the light in the room.
Qin Liuse slept so soundly that she didn't know what time it was. She just felt warm and sore all over, and occasionally felt uncomfortable.
She looked at Emperor Yongjia in a daze, as if she was trying hard to recall something.
Seeing her like this, Emperor Yongjia spoke first, "Tonight is the autumn night, you should enjoy the moon, but this year, you can only lie here."
Qin Liuse was awakened a little by his smiling words. Looking at the gold ball pendant on the bed curtain, she remembered that today was Mid-Autumn Festival. She did not go to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at noon because she was worried that she was about to give birth. Unexpectedly, she really gave birth.
Thinking of the two children he had never met, the first thing Qin Liuse said was, "Where are my... children..."
She half opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything loudly, either because she was too thirsty or because she had exerted too much force during childbirth.
