Traveling to the ancient harem

Daxia Dynasty

The third house in Maoer Hutong in Beijing has a tall gatehouse, a large house with five entrances, and a small garden, which shows the wealth and splendor of this family. The family of Huang Congmin, the Minister of Rites, lives here. The Huang family is also a well-known family in Beijing. The reason why it is famous is that in everyone's memory, it has been a single-line family for three generations, at most five generations, and the Huang family has been a single-line family for ten generations. The sons of the Huang family are all handsome and smart and good at reading. From the father of Minister Huang to his son Huang Mingli, there are also three Jinshi in the family. The ten generations of single-line family have become a topic of conversation among the people in Beijing. As for Huang Mingli, he married Chen, the granddaughter of Mr. Chen, the chief wine of the Imperial College. She was born in a famous family and was gentle and polite. She treated Huang Mingli as an equal. The most amazing thing is that she broke the Huang family's taboo of only one son for ten generations and gave birth to the eldest son Huang Zixuan and the second son Huang Zihong. Now she is pregnant with her third child and will give birth in the next few days.

"Master, do you think our wife is pregnant with a granddaughter? May God bless us, may Guanyin Bodhisattva bless us, and let our wife give us a beautiful granddaughter." The old lady clasped her hands together and muttered to Master Huang while praying.

"Okay, okay, stop repeating it. It makes me dizzy." The old man was a little annoyed. "You said how many times a day you recite it. Have you forgotten the time when you were worried that your wife wouldn't be able to give birth to a grandson?"

"What are you talking about then? We already have two older grandsons. Why don't you think about it? If we had a delicate and soft little granddaughter, then we would also be a family with great aunts. Oh, I can't think about it. Just thinking about it makes me feel that the clothes made for our little granddaughter are not enough. I have to keep an eye on Aunt Li and ask her to make more sets, otherwise my dear granddaughter will have no beautiful clothes to wear when she comes." The old lady muttered as she walked out in a hurry.

"This old woman." Huang Shilang couldn't help but laugh. But thinking about it, I'm really looking forward to it. The Huang family's little granddaughter, the Huang family has been daughterless for ten generations. Maybe with God's blessing, they can really welcome this dream girl. Thinking about it really makes me happy.

Mrs. Huang, Chen Yuanyuan, was walking slowly in the yard with a big belly. She was going to give birth in a few days. As a mother who had given birth to two children, she knew that moderate walking was good for childbirth. The maid Baozhu supported her and kept reporting to her.

"Madam, the old lady just went to the sewing room again and asked Madam Li to make more clothes for the young lady."

Chen smiled helplessly. Her mother-in-law was so temperamental that she didn't even know whether it was a boy or a girl, but she prepared all the clothes for little girls. If it was a boy, she would be so disappointed.

"The old lady said that this baby must be a little girl. She has asked the second young master many times, and he always said it was a little sister. Children speak the truth."

"That's what she said, but she really hopes it's a little girl. My husband was still talking about it when he went out today. Maybe when he comes back today, he will see the little girl he has been thinking about so much."

"That's right. Today is a day off, but the chronicle that the Master and his team at the Hanlin Academy are working on will be sent to the Emperor in a few days, and the Master is the one who is in charge of reviewing it, so he has to work overtime."

"Baozhu, help me into the house. I feel a little tired."

"Okay, ma'am, please slow down and be careful with your step." Stepping onto the steps of the flower hall, Madam Huang's upright body suddenly swayed.

"Baozhu, I might be about to give birth."

"Hongyu." Baozhu called the second-class maid who followed behind her, "Quick, quick, quick, go and tell the old lady that she is about to give birth. Also, go and invite the midwife. She has already told her about it. Also, go to the front yard and find a servant to invite the master back and tell him that the lady is about to give birth."

Chen was not in a hurry. Having given birth to two children before, she knew that things would not go so fast. She continued to walk slowly with Baozhu's support towards the delivery room that had been prepared in advance.
