Chapter 115 Grievance
"My dear, please be patient and don't shout now."
Fu Mengli's head was covered in sweat, with messy black hair scattered on her neck. She looked extremely disheveled and had completely lost her usual composure.
She took a deep breath and endured the waves of pain that came like waves hitting the rocks.
"Where is His Majesty? I want to see His Majesty." Fu Mengli bit her lips lightly, tears welling up in her eyes, blurring her vision.
"My dear, please stop talking and save your energy. If the pain is unbearable, just bite the towel.
The delivery room is filthy, Your Majesty cannot enter."
The midwife handed the clean, boiled and wrung-out cloth to Fu Mengli's lips.
"I just want Your Majesty to wait outside." Fu Mengli turned her head away and said persistently.
"Then I will ask Meihua to wait for His Majesty outside the palace. Your most important priority now is to give birth to the royal heir." Faced with Fu Mengli's rare willful words, Qingxue, the head maid of Yutang Palace, had no choice but to comfort her.
"Your Majesty, I want to know if Your Majesty is in the Queen's Pepper Room." The uncontrollable grievance was surging in Fu Mengli's heart and could not be calmed for a long time.
Qin Zhi told people not to inform Yu Tang Palace about the Queen's move, because Fu Mengli, the noble lady of Yu Tang Palace, was also expecting her baby and might give birth at any time. However, with just a casual glance at the bustling scene in the palace, she could guess that it was the Queen who was about to give birth.
Fu Mengli was in so much pain that she was a little dazed.
His Majesty granted her residence in the Jade Hall and always treated her with tenderness and consideration.
Knowing that she is not good at talking, I allow her to do as she pleases;
Xiao knew that she loved guqin, so he gave her all four guqins in the palace collection: Frosty Night Bells, Sea Moon Clear Glow, Forest Fairy Hidden, and Crane Cry Clear Sky.
His Majesty liked to sit beside her and listen to her playing the piano. He once held her in his arms to listen to the wind and enjoy the rain, and drink tea together. She could lean on His Majesty quietly.
She was just a concubine, and His Majesty was a wise and capable monarch. A concubine should have flattered the emperor, but His Majesty never cared about her aloof temperament and her taciturnity. He could even understand her thoughts without making her feel uncomfortable.
Fu Mengli thought that she admired His Majesty, and His Majesty should also be affectionate towards her.
But who made her give birth to a child and bump into the Queen?
How can a concubine's illegitimate son compare to a queen's legitimate son in the eyes of the world?
What's more, Your Majesty is not cruel to the Queen.
Historical books have mentioned "the great favors in the Pepper Room and the Jade Hall". The Pepper Room is the Queen's residence, and the Jade Hall is the residence of the favored concubine. Is it destined that the Jade Hall and the Pepper Room will be in conflict?
It is true that the Central Palace has great authority and power, but there is no such thing as the favor in the Jade Hall. There are many proud people in the palace. It is true that the Jade Hall is the residence of the favorite concubine, but she, Fu Mengli, is not a favorite concubine at all.
She doesn't want to fight, but is she willing not to fight?
If she loses her original heart and the purity that Your Majesty loves, not only will Your Majesty be tired of her, but she will also be tired of herself.
She didn't care about status, beauty, or noble lady. The Queen's decree was a waste of time. She hoped to receive His Majesty's imperial decree. Whether she was promoted or demoted, it was all His Majesty's grace. Why should the Queen go to such lengths?
After just a moment's thought, Fu Mengli felt that she was being unreasonable, but she couldn't help but feel angry because of the pain.
"Noble Lady Zhi, please rest assured and give birth. The Empress has also started labor. His Majesty cannot leave, so he specially sent me to your Yutang Palace to support you."
When Meng Wuyue rushed to Yutang Palace, she saw that Fu Mengli, who was usually cold and quiet, was actually throwing a tantrum and wanted to look for Qin Zhi. She frowned and spoke loudly.
She could understand Fu Mengli's desire for Qin Zhi to accompany her, but what did it have to do with her? It wasn't her who stopped His Majesty from coming.
As long as she ensured that the palace maids, eunuchs, midwives and imperial physicians in Yutang Palace could serve the noble lady of Yutang Palace in an orderly manner and help her give birth to the royal heir, she could go back.
Fu Mengli's red eyes could no longer hold back the tears that were growing bigger and bigger, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
His Majesty will not come.
It would be fine if the queen gave birth to a daughter, but if she gave birth to a princess, would she be able to live up to the expectations of the whole palace? Would she be worthy of the attention that His Majesty paid to her?
In a trance, Fu Mengli seemed to see a winding river, which was hazy and not quite clear.
