The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 146: Delivery is approaching

Time flies, winter is coming to an end, the ice and snow have not melted, but the midday sun is warm.

The heavy snow piled on the branches of the red plum trees planted in the courtyard of Wangyueju seems to indicate that winter is still here and the severe cold is not far away.

This month is the day when Nanxiang entered the palace last year.

Rao thought that at that time, she was still a new concubine in the palace. She didn't expect that she would change so much in just one year.

Not only did many life-threatening things happen, but Nan Xiang also changed from her original arrogant and immature personality to calm and noble. In addition, because of her pregnancy, many concubines and ministers wanted to have a good relationship with her, just to get her to say a few good words in front of the emperor. However, Nan Xiang never paid attention to anything Gu Junshen did.

This is her basic principle. She has her own things to do, which is to take care of her pregnancy with peace of mind.

It has been more than nine months since I became pregnant.

Her belly was as big as a ball, a circle bigger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman.

Sometimes she didn't dare to look at her belly for fear of being scared.

When you stand up, you need the help of several people and you must be very careful.

As the months went by, her daily entertainment included checking the safety of the baby in her belly.

She was more willing to trust her own judgment than the imperial physician's.

As early as a month ago, Aunt Ruolan and Lan Ji had prepared everything she needed for delivery.

The dormitory where Nanxiang lived was also decorated like a delivery room.

She also told the two of them some of the wonderful uses of alcohol, so that they would have a clearer understanding of its uses and would not be in a rush on the day of delivery.

Gu Junshen also changed from visiting Nanxiang every few days to accompanying Nanxiang every night, but Nanxiang had difficulty moving and could not turn over.

He could only sleep on the couch. It was really unfair for him as an emperor to have to sleep in such a place.

In fact, Nan Xiang also felt that it was a bit cheap to see this. She had told him countless times, but Gu Junshen never listened.

Every time I come, I sleep on the couch.

Gradually, Nanxiang became numb and let him go.

After the assassin appeared last time, Gu Junshen arranged a team of Jinyiwei to patrol outside Wangyueju every day.

This made the palace maids and eunuchs who passed by terrified every time.

Nanxiang felt very safe.

She did not go out either, but walked around the inner courtyard of the palace, moving at a moderate pace.

……

Jingren Palace.

Queen Chen was staring at herself in the mirror with a frown on her face.

"Caizhi, do you think I have aged a lot? I am one year older."

Chen's tone was somewhat sad, and she felt sentimental as she looked at the crow's feet gradually appearing on her face.

"Your Majesty is still graceful and beautiful."

Caizhi spoke softly, not quite understanding what Queen Chen was thinking at the moment. Chen was only in her twenties, at the prime of her life.

"Forget it! Is there any movement from the person at Wangyueju?"

Chen's tone immediately turned fierce, and when she looked at herself in the mirror, she actually had a more maternal temperament.

Generally, most of the concubines in the harem have given birth when their babies are nine months old, and the imperial physicians and midwives will feed them medicine to induce labor.

Now she waits day and night for Song Nanxiang from Wangyueju to give birth, but after waiting for such a long time there is no movement. Instead, her belly gets bigger and bigger. It is said that it is bigger than that of ordinary pregnant women.

When she heard this, she was scared to death and thought Nanxiang was pregnant with a monster.

(The nine-month mark here is a little inaccurate, because the medical care in the ancient palace could not accurately determine the exact time. The nine-month mark they heard in their minds was actually full-term.)

"Empress! There is no movement! The Jinyiwei outside are patrolling back and forth, and they don't look anxious. I think it's still early." Caizhi said in a low voice.

"You continue to have people keep an eye on her. If she gives birth, inform me immediately. I am the queen, so I must be the first to arrive."

Queen Chen gave the order with an evil smile on her face, as if she was planning something, which made her extremely excited.

Caizhi couldn't help but frown when she saw her queen had a strange smile on her face recently. She felt a little worried, but she didn't say anything.

After squatting down and responding, he left the inner hall.

……

Chaoyang Palace.

The virtuous Concubine Huang was wrapped in a thick cotton robe, holding a heating stove in her hand, and her body was shivering constantly.

"My queen! Do you need me to call the imperial physician?"

Seeing that Concubine Xian was shivering from the cold, Luqi couldn't help but ask.

"I'm fine. Just add more charcoal."

The virtuous concubine Huang said coldly that her body had become like this since she was awakened by a nightmare the day before yesterday. She always shivered uncontrollably from the cold.

She attributed all the suffering she had endured to Nanxiang.

If Nan Xiang hadn't used some means to intimidate her that time, she wouldn't have developed this nightmare habit now, and would always be frightened awake in cold sweats.

It's rare that I get enough sleep at night.

"Yes!" After hearing this, Luqi immediately turned around and added charcoal fire for Concubine Xian.

"and many more!"

"I asked you to check on the movements of the person in Wangyueju. Is there any movement now?"

The virtuous concubine thought of something and asked.

She thought, since Nanxiang made her life so miserable, then let her suffer more during childbirth.

"Your Majesty! There is no movement!"

Luqi turned around and replied.

"It's almost full term now. Why did it take so long?" Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian frowned slightly and couldn't help but think for a moment.

"Your Majesty. What if the month reported by Concubine Shu was too early? In fact, it is only eight months now."

"That's a possibility. Please continue monitoring."

As Concubine Xian spoke casually, she felt sleepy.

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Gu Junshen sat upright on the dragon throne. Compared to a while ago, he now had a more calm temperament.

Every gesture and movement reveals the majesty of a king.

All this is thanks to his official struggles with the officials in the court over the past six months.

When faced with any official who resisted his decisions, he would always design a plan to make them make mistakes, and then he would seize the loophole and take advantage of it.

He has grown a lot now.

In addition, as he was about to become the father of two princes, he made himself look more stable.

"How is Concubine Shu's health now? When will she give birth?"

Gu Jun asked in a deep voice, looking at the imperial physician sharply, fearing that he might be lying.

"Your Majesty! Lady Shu, the baby is only a few days away from full term. As for when the baby will be born, I have no idea."

The imperial physician knelt down and spoke.

"So, you have to check the imperial concubine's pulse every day. If you find any problems, you must report them in time. Otherwise, I will hold you accountable."

There was a hint of warning in Gu Junshen's eyes, which made the imperial physician shudder.

"I accept your order!"

……

Wangyueju.

After a hearty meal, Nanxiang felt a sour pain in her waist, and the baby in her belly became more active.

She guessed that she was about to give birth.

She immediately instructed Kikuhei who was picking up the leftovers.

"Juping, go and ask Aunt Ruolan and others to prepare early. I might be giving birth soon."

As she spoke, she involuntarily supported her increasingly sore waist.
