Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 291 Envy

Because of the management of the house manager and the support of Xu Wanning's money, Brother Erlang Ping managed the full moon banquet quite successfully.

Today, there are many female relatives coming. Xu Wanning is already giving birth to her third child, so everyone is not surprised. What makes these female relatives curious is Jingshu, the prince’s wife.

Jingshu has rarely gone out to socialize since she became pregnant, but the news that she is pregnant with twins has already spread throughout the circle of ladies.

How can these female relatives suppress their gossiping thoughts?

Coming over to watch Erlang Ping's full moon ceremony is the next best thing. Everyone is even more eager to see the state of the prince's wife.

But this distinguished wife of the Crown Prince only came over to have her **** ordered before the banquet. She was still protected by a large group of servants and women. Through her single clothes, she looked at her belly, which was indeed higher than that of ordinary pregnant women, but her face was She still has a beautiful face, but her appearance has not lost even a bit due to pregnancy.

Joining the prestigious Zhenguo Palace, being protected by a heroic husband like Li Ling, and now pregnant with twins, how could Jing Shu not be jealous of her fate.

 All the female relatives were sore about it, but they could only swallow the sour water in their stomachs.

Zhao Yuan'er was a simple-minded person, and she had always been at odds with the two ladies of the palace. Just as Jing Shu was escorted away by the servants and wives, she couldn't hold back her yin and yang anger and said: "This prince's wife is so arrogant, she is pregnant." She is so delicate that she even ran away from my nephew's full moon banquet just in time for the occasion."

Xu Wanning's sister-in-law, Mrs. Guo, happened to be sitting at the same table as Zhao Yuan'er. After hearing her divisive words, she couldn't help but reply: "The princess is wrong. The wife of the crown prince in this mansion has always been on good terms with my aunt. When I gave birth to this baby, my uncle was away on business and was away from the house, and the prince's wife was in charge. It can be seen that the closer the relationship is, the less need to be concerned about face matters."

Zhao Yuan'er couldn't help but roll her eyes at Mr. Guo and shut her mouth in a sarcastic manner.

Princess Jin gently shook her fan and said with a smile: "Tell me, this daughter of the Shen family has a good life. Not only can she marry into a noble family, but she is also favored by her husband. Now she is pregnant again. Wow, she is really the best in this world. All the good things have been taken over by others.”

As soon as Zhao Yuan'er heard this, she immediately spoke up again: "What a favor? Doesn't Princess Jin not know that the emperor gave a palace concubine to the heir of the Li family last year?"

Princess Jin pretended to be surprised and said: "I have heard people in the palace mention this matter."

As she said that, she had a gloating smile on her face: "I thought the heir apparent of the Li family was so dedicated, haha, it's nothing more than that."

Zhao Yuan'er sneered and echoed: "Haha, there is no cat in the world that doesn't eat fishy things."

Seeing the two of them making sarcastic remarks to each other, Mrs. Guo smiled and said: "I heard my aunt say that although Gong Ji has been in the palace for more than half a year, the eldest son of the Li family has not touched her. "

As soon as Guo said these words, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the table.

 Zhao Yuan'er said sarcastically: "Mrs. Xu is really powerful. She even knows such things?"

Mrs. Guo glanced at the superficial Zhao Yuan'er indifferently, and said with a sneer: "It's not that I have magical powers. It's just that I came to visit my aunt a few days ago, and happened to hear her mention that Sister Zhuang has reached the age of enlightenment and wants to hire a master. I recommended several female red chess masters to her, and she said that there was already a harp master in the palace, and it was the concubine given to her by the palace. I heard that the concubine was given to the heir of the Li family by the palace. I couldn't help but asked out of curiosity."

If he had been touched by Li Ling, it would be impossible for him to become an artist in the palace.

As soon as Guo said these words, the rest of the female family members were silent for a long time.

These ladies have never heard of a man who would not touch his concubines even when his wife is pregnant. After waiting for quite a while, Princess Jin sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that there really are such dedicated people in this world as mentioned in the book. This daughter of the Shen family, hey! She has such a good life."

At this moment, Jingshu, the daughter of the Shen family, who was recognized by everyone as having a good life, felt unwell just after returning from outside. Eminem quickly helped her go to bed to rest.

Not long after, Li Ling also came back from the front yard. Seeing his pregnant wife's face looking tired, Li Ling said distressedly: "Are you tired? I told you before that you don't have to go over. Look at you, but you don't want to listen."

Jingshu was pregnant with twins, so it was naturally more difficult. Now that it was time to give birth, Li Ling was even more protective of his pregnant wife.

Seeing Li Ling coming over to chat again, Jing Shu smiled at him and said, "I went over to take a look and then came back. How could I not take a look at Erlang's full moon banquet? But you, why aren't you greeting me in the front yard? Why are you like this?" Will you be back soon?"

Li Ling replied: "The eldest brother and third brother were greeting you in front. I didn't trust you, so I came back early."

As he said that, he helped his wife lean on the soft pillow and said softly: "The delivery date is in the next few days, so we must be extra careful. I have invited Dr. Zhang to come to the house to take charge, and I have also arranged some important errands." Everything has been explained, I have applied for leave with the Holy Father, and I will be waiting at home for the next few days for you to give birth."

Jing Shu looked at Li Ling's nervous look and said with a smile: "The delivery date has just arrived. I think it will take a few more days. The imperial doctor is responsible for the errands in the palace. You are so anxious to invite him. If I can’t give birth for a while, if I delay the affairs of the nobles in the palace, wouldn’t it be a sin for us?”

Li Ling knew that his wife was always cautious, so he replied: "I, Li Ling, have worked for Da Qi through life and death. I have never asked for privileges from the court based on a little merit like those generals. This time it is just because my wife's birth of twins is more risky than ordinary childbirth." , I just invited the imperial physician to take charge, I don’t think there’s anything inappropriate about this.”

Li Ling sat on the edge of the bed, gently caressing his wife's bulging belly with his big hands, and said softly to the child who was about to be born: "Good boy, don't make your mother work too hard, be good, and Daddy will take care of you." I love you."

As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, Jing Shu suddenly felt a sudden movement in her belly, followed by bursts of cramping pain.

Before she could calm down, Li Ling saw that his wife was acting strange and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?"

Jingshu nodded towards Li Ling.

"It's time to give birth." After saying that, Li Ling patted his wife and comforted her softly: "I'm here, don't be afraid."

To be honest, this child was hard-won. At the moment when they were about to be welcomed, Jing Shu only had expectations in her heart, but she had no fear at all.

 It seems that Li Ling is a military general, but he has silently learned what to do at this moment a long time ago.

Li Ling stood up and called Amu Ziyun and others. When everyone heard that Jingshu had been activated, the women suddenly panicked.

Li Ling was extremely calm. He calmly ordered everyone: "Ah Mu will go to the inner room to accompany the wife first. When the wife gives birth, the mother will also stay by her side. Ziyun went to the side hall to invite the two midwives. Danzhu went to the front yard to invite Doctor Zhang to the outer room, Bilu went to boil hot water, and Granny Li took out the swaddling clothes and other things that had been prepared."

At this moment, Li Ling, the general, seemed to be more experienced than the experienced midwife.
