Chapter 254 Qian Concubine is Gone
The midwife held the swaddling clothes and let everyone take a look at the baby.
This again drew praise from the people around.
"Look at how long these fingers are. They will definitely be very kind and graceful in the future."
"The legs are so long, he will definitely grow up to be tall, like a prince."
"It's not good-looking for a girl to be too tall. Listen to me, a short stature will make your husband like you more in the future."
"Tall people are good-looking, and my future children will also be tall."
Ji Yunqing squeezed into the crowd and spoke in a loud and loud voice: "This child is good-looking. Look at his eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth. He looks exactly like the prince."
The child has just been born, and you're already talking about how the husband will love you and you want to have children with him in the future. Don't you have anything else to say?
The others were led by Ji Yunqing's words and began to praise him all at once, "This child really looks like a prince!"
"This child looks just like the prince!"
"Look at these ears, they are exactly like the prince's!"
After Ji Yunqing guided the conversation to the correct topic, he successfully exited the group chat and looked at the midwife.
"How is Concubine Qian now?"
She always remembers things from the past, but a greeting is also welcome right after giving birth.
Hearing Ji Yunqing's question, the midwife was stunned for a moment: "Concubine Qian is fine. She has been treated by the doctor. This is a great blessing. How can she not be fine?"
Ji Yunqing felt that this was awkward. She interrupted the midwife's endless attempts to express herself and said:
"Don't say that again. Being treated by a doctor is a blessing that anyone can have. The master of the mansion is not the kind of prince who treats people harshly."
The midwife's expression froze, and she then remembered that this was a noble lady from the royal palace, and any gold bracelet on her was worth a fortune. She was not a girl from their village.
A girl is not precious. If she is sick, you may not want to give her medicine, but it is not a pity to throw her away.
Ji Yunqing had already stood beside King Zhao and took the child from King Zhao's arms.
After holding the child twice, I felt that he was too heavy, so I put him back into the basket to play.
Ruirui is a good-tempered child. He won't cry or make a fuss no matter where he is placed. He is very well-behaved and plays by himself.
Concubine Qian was lucky. The court physician came in to examine her, wrote out a prescription, and gave her a few injections, which barely saved Concubine Qian's life and enabled her to give birth to the child with difficulty.
However, the court doctor also said: "Whether Concubine Qian can survive from now on depends entirely on luck."
Upon hearing this, King Zhao showed no expression, but just asked his servants to take good care of Concubine Qian.
If you need any medicinal herbs, just go to the warehouse and get them.
Three days later, Concubine Qian died quietly at night.
Upon hearing the news, Ji Yunqing's hazy sleepiness in the early morning suddenly disappeared.
"Why so sudden? Didn't you say the situation was fine a few days ago?"
Xuancao sighed: "Who knows? No one can tell about this kind of thing. It's a pity for the child. He was born without a mother."
"Fortunately, Concubine Qian took a few glances at the child before leaving, so she was lucky," said Nanny An.
Is this also considered good luck?
Ji Yunqing bit her lower lip lightly, feeling mixed emotions.
A life was still alive a few days ago. It was also a few days ago that she went out with a big belly. How come she is dead now?
This was different from the flower thief that day. Even though that thief died in front of her and was very close to her, she was only scared at the time and didn't feel much afterwards.
No matter how she seeks death, she would not die by picking other people's flowers and plants.
But Concubine Qian, the way she died...
Ji Yunqing didn't want to think too much about it.
As if she had sensed her master's thoughts, Nanny An comforted her gently, "Master, I'm afraid that Concubine Qian was manipulated by someone. In fact, as long as you are careful, there won't be much danger for a woman to give birth."
Ji Yunqing nodded: "Mammy, I know"
Giving birth to a child nowadays has risks, let alone in ancient times when medical methods were backward?
As if she had sensed something, when Xuancao went out and found a place where no one was around, Nanny An took the opportunity to persuade her: "Master, I'm afraid the young master will be a little lonely by himself, why don't you..."
Have another one while you are still young and pampered?
Ji Yunqing shook her head: "Mammy, if I give birth to another child, can you guarantee that it will be a daughter?"
Nanny An thought, wouldn’t it be better to have a young master?
"Mammy, you may be possessed by a demon. If I give birth to another boy, will the prince allow me to raise two?"
Especially since the princess has no children now.
Nanny An was speechless.
"Master, the prince loves you so much..."
"King Lie also dotes on Concubine Zeng!" However, Zeng Cheng had eight babies in one pregnancy, and King Lie gave them all to the concubine to raise.
Ji Yunqing frowned, looking at Nanny An who suddenly believed in love at such an old age, and said earnestly: "Mammy, if you want to get married and have children, just tell me directly."
She thought that Nanny An might be in a love-sick mood.
Nanny An was looked at with strange eyes by her master and was suspected of wanting to get married and have children.
She blushed with shame for the first time: "Master, what nonsense are you talking about? I didn't think..."
"Don't worry, Mammy. I'll find you a good one."
Nanny An repeatedly shook her head and refused: "Master, please forgive me. I don't want to be someone's stepmother. It's a thankless job."
She remembered her thoughts and said truthfully: "Master, it's not that I am talkative, but I am thinking that if something happens in the future, you only have the fourth young master as a child, I am afraid..."
She was not talking nonsense or intentionally cursing her master, she had just seen and heard too many such things.
Ji Yunqing was surprised that Nanny An could think of this.
However, the infant mortality rate in ancient times was indeed not low.
After thinking it over again and again, she shook her head: "It's not appropriate now, let's wait and see."
She had just given birth to a child a little over a year ago and needs to rest well.
Ji Yunqing wants to live a healthy and long life in his future.
Concubine Qian was just a concubine and didn't even have a proper funeral, but the palace paid for her burial in a place with good feng shui.
Because of her contribution in giving birth to the young master of the mansion, the mansion specially bought her a high-quality coffin.
When Ji Yunqing heard the news, he was silent for a while.
The winter wind made people's faces hurt, and the sudden drop in temperature seemed to have taken away the last trace of Concubine Qian in this world.
Now, apart from the little girl who is still in swaddling clothes, there is no trace of Concubine Qian left.
Later I heard that the little girl was taken by King Zhao and raised in the courtyard of King Zhao's concubine.
From then on, the child was Zhao's concubine's child.
Although it was a girl, Concubine Zhao was also very happy.
Everyone in Concubine Zhao's courtyard was filled with joy.
"Master, when you raise the fifth young lady in the future, the prince will definitely value you even more!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The prince has always valued our master. He was too reserved before, and he was busy with his affairs, so he didn't show it..."
"Nowadays, whenever something happens, the prince thinks of our master."
