Chapter 10 March Palace Change
Since Chen Mu Ke got married with Tao, this is the first time he has entered the Tao's yard so early. It goes without saying who he came for. The people of Qi and others are angry, and Dong Qixiu's eyes are scrutinized.
Tao stood up with a smile and said, "Master Lao San, please accompany me to have a cousin Dong for a while. I'll go to the clean room first." After that, Tao took his servants out and left the space for the pair of dogs who had different thoughts and wanted to hook up with a gangster. They would not let the two find all kinds of disgusting excuses to drive her away and take the opportunity to hook up together.
Mrs. Qi said disagreeably: "Grandma, aren't you giving that bitch named Dong a chance?"
Dow smiled but said nothing.
The cold winter is coming, the north wind is cold, and the city is quiet.
It is approaching the New Year, but there is not much New Year atmosphere in Jindu City. On the 26th day of the 12th lunar month, the emperor suddenly fainted, which caused panic among all the civil and military officials in the court. Although the emperor appointed the crown prince, in recent years, the emperor has been quite afraid of the crown prince, and instead favors Prince Rui, the son of Concubine Yi. Prince Rui took the opportunity to win over many ministers and has great power in the court. His grandfather and two uncles are both leading generals, and their power cannot be underestimated.
Tao was not worried about the national demise at all. She knew from her dream that the emperor would not die this time. After King Rui successfully usurped the throne, he also served as the Supreme Emperor Bintian for six years.
Because of the emperor's affairs, this New Year was very depressing and there was not much joy. The imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital were vented and four of them were already questioned. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the emperor finally woke up. In order to add to the joy, the Shangyuan Festival, which was originally cancelled, was held as usual. Tao asked Tao Kan to sell the festival goods prepared by him and make a fortune.
On the morning of the 19th day of the first lunar month, Tao sat on the warm kang pillow, watching his two sons placing chess pieces with affection. Jinbao hurriedly walked in, "Grandma, come out..." Seeing that the two young masters were also there, he quickly swallowed the words back.
After the wet nurse took Shen Bomi down, Tao turned his eyes and looked at Jinbao, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Last night, someone saw the third master enter Miss Dong's room and come out this morning." Jin Bao lowered his head and did not dare to look at Tao's face.
Tao was stunned at first, and then laughed. It was only a month, only a month, and the two of them hooked up. In the dream, they were not so fast. They just rolled together on February 12th, on the 12th day of the Flower Festival. They were caught on the spot. They were angry and almost miscarried. Then, she was obviously wronged, but she was sent to another village by Chen's mother to a different village to wait for delivery.
"Wuhan, let your mother take someone to clean up Guixiangyuan." Tao said with a faint smile.
Mrs. Qi said unhappily: "Grandma, that's the second big yard in the third room, and that kind of person is not worthy of living in such a good yard."
Tao smiled, "She is the new favorite of the Third Master. If she doesn't live in that yard, where do you live?"
Mrs. Qi spoke heavily and went out with her cheeks.
After a while, Chen's mother's maid, Zhenzhu, came and asked Tao to come over. Tao held the hand warmer and slowly went to Xuanziyuan. Entering the East Warehouse of Xuanziyuan, Tao saw Dong Qixiu kneeling in front of Shen's mother.
"Please to your wife." Mrs. Dou said with a slightly bent down her knees.
Chen's mother raised her eyelids and looked at her, saying, "You have a big belly, so there is no need to be so polite. Sit down and have something to tell you."
Tao sat down next to him as he spoke, lowered his eyebrows and looked soft. Even though Chen's mother had always been dictatorial, it was difficult to speak out at this time. After all, this was not a glorious thing. After a while, Tao asked, "Madam called me, but for the sake of cousin Dong and the Third Master?"
"You already know." Mother Chen smiled awkwardly.
"Madam, the third master's nature is known. The third master is not that...." Tao deliberately vaguely said the word "urgent" and said in front of Shen's mother that Chen Muke was not good, which would cause Shen's mother to be disgusted.
Chen's mother knew how to choose the reputation of her cousin's niece and her son's reputation. Tao asked in a sigh, "But no matter what, since the matter is born, it must be resolved. Cousin Dong is the niece of his wife, and is a cousin of the third master. Unlike those who carry it in from outside, let Cousin Dong be a good concubine, above all the concubines. The wife thinks it's good?"
Dong Qixiu was shocked. Tao was too calm, not quarrel or make noise, and he solved the matter in an understatement.
Chen's mother didn't expect that Tao suddenly became so "sensible". The threatening words she had thought before were useless. So she followed Tao's wishes and asked Dong Qixiu to be Chen Muke's concubine.
With Tao being so generous, Chen's mother naturally would not discourage her face. No matter what, Chen's mother was also a legitimate wife. She was too proud of her concubine and belittled her own identity. Without the banquet in her dream that made Tao feel so humiliated. Dong Qixiu was wearing a pink dress and knelt in front of Tao and gave her tea.
Tao did not make things difficult for Dong Qixiu, so he took the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Auntie Dong, I will serve the Third Master well in the future."
"Yes." Dong Qixiu lowered her face, and her eyes were full of unwillingness.
Dong Qixiu's residence in Guixiang Garden caused dissatisfaction among other concubines, especially his former beloved concubine, Aunt Rao. Tao only did not know how to raise their fetus without knowing it.
March soon entered. The atmosphere in Jindu City seemed calm, but in fact the undercurrent was surging. Mr. Shen and Shen Muke became extremely busy, leaving early and returning late.
On the 20th day, Tao Kan made an excuse to take Shen Bomi's brothers to the Tao family. Early in the morning on the 26th, Jin took people into the Chen Mansion. Tao was relieved when he saw Jin. Now it was different from his dream. The Tao family was not in trouble and she was not sent to another village. This time she would definitely give birth to a child smoothly, and her daughter would not be taken away by Chen Muke, and her daughter would not die in vain.
In the evening, the pain of Tao became more and more dense. Jin personally helped her into the delivery room she had prepared. Tao was a mother of the mother. After half an hour of pain, the palace opened three fingers.
"Grandma, use force, grandma, use force." Wenma shouted.
I don’t know if I took too much pregnancy medicine or had too much supplementation. The child had not been born for a long time, but Dow was a little exhausted, sweating profusely, and gasping with his mouth wide open, like a dehydrated fish.
"Ah!" Tao shouted, feeling something slipping out of his body.
Wen Po cut off the umbilical cord and looked at the bloody baby, but was shocked. He wrapped three umbilical cords around the child's thin neck. He quickly untied the umbilical cord. The child's breath was weak. After cleaning it, the child's breath continued intermittently.
Seeing that Wen Po didn't carry the child over for a long time, Jin frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Carry the child for me." Tao's voice was filled with infinite anxiety. She insisted on falling asleep, just to see her baby daughter with her own eyes.
The woman with fair face turned pale, wrapped the child into the cradle, and handed the child to Dow with her hands trembling. Dow took the child, and before her smile could bloom, she realized that something was wrong with the child, "What's wrong with my daughter?"
"Grandma, the girl left as soon as she was born." Wenpo stuttered.
"No, it's impossible!" Tao screamed in a daze. How could her daughter die at birth? She clearly remembered that after her daughter was born, she opened her black eyes and looked at her. When she was taken away by Chen Muke, she cried a few times. How could she die at birth?
Dow fainted after being hit, but her hand did not loosen and she still hugged the child tightly.
"Grandma!" exclaimed by Mrs. Qi and the people who served in the house.
Jin gave birth to four children, and was relatively calm with experience. He carried the child away, pinched the Tao people, and ordered: "Zhaocai, go and bring the ginseng soup. Hutie Qi, pinch your grandma's tiger's mouth."
