Chapter 234: Chronicles of Yongzheng's Harem 32
Concubine Xi was sentenced to death, which happened very suddenly.
When the queen found out, she was also stunned.
"Seventh Prince and Concubine An fell down. Could it be Concubine Xi's fault?"
She hasn't found out the result of this matter yet, but after careful investigation, she has already traced it back to Concubine Yu. It seems that Concubine Yu and Concubine Xi do have something going on.
"Go to the Yangxin Palace. The emperor ordered the death of Concubine Xi. It was so sudden that he didn't even tell me."
The Queen knew that Concubine Xi was restless, but she didn't know to what extent.
But even if Concubine Xi was wrong, a huge mistake, the Queen could not be happy facing such a sudden incident, because as the Queen, she was completely unaware of it.
This was an offense to her.
The queen went directly to the Yangxin Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you."
Yinzhen finally came back to his senses from his anger: "Let the queen in!"
His tone was very tired. He knew why the queen came, but he didn't like being disturbed at this time.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Queen came in, greeted her, and then asked, "Your Majesty, I wonder what crime Concubine Xi committed that made Your Majesty so angry that you would sentence her to death without any regard for the Fourth Prince?"
Even if she was really the one who harmed the Seventh Prince and Noble Lady An, she should have been informed. She was stunned when she received the news suddenly. Was Noble Lady Nian's child really that important?
Yinzhen frowned and said, "Why is Yupin's Hongzhou always so naughty? Concubine Xi used a secret medicine on him. Concubine Jing almost had a miscarriage, and Concubine Xi did it. In the first year of Yongzheng's reign, Concubine Guifei's pregnancy was also caused by Concubine Xi. And not long ago, the Seventh Prince and Concubine An..."
Having said this, Yinzhen could no longer speak, as these were all his children.
The order not to implicate Nianhulu's maternal family was only given out of consideration for the Fourth Prince's face.
After hearing this, the queen's face turned pale. She really didn't expect that Niuhulu was such a cruel person.
"This... is also due to my incompetence. I didn't realize that Xi... Niu Hulu was such a vicious person."
"I didn't notice it, so it's only natural that you didn't notice it. She seemed too honest and loyal in the past. Let the queen take care of her funeral! Since she's a commoner, we should hold a commoner's funeral."
The Queen naturally understood what a commoner's funeral was like after hearing Yinzhen's disgusted tone.
"It's easy to deal with the commoner Niu Hulu, but does the Fourth Prince need a mother?"
Yinzhen shook his head: "He is not a child anymore, let him live with the prince for the time being! The queen should warn the servants not to neglect him."
"Yes, I understand."
After coming out of the Yangxin Palace, the Queen had a blank expression on her face. Concubine Xi fell down too quickly. After returning, she said, "Check Concubine Xi. I want to know how she was discovered."
"Yes, ma'am."
When Yupin learned that Concubine Xi had died, a hint of smile appeared in her eyes, and she murmured softly: "Sister Concubine Xi, don't worry, I, your sister, will help you take good care of your Hongli."
Her son Hongzhou had a reputation for being naughty, and Hongli, as the elder brother, was too smart, which would have embarrassed his younger brother.
Concubine Nian did not find out the truth about Concubine Xi, but Yinzhen's actions have revealed a lot.
"Niuhulu, my son! It's unjust for you to go!"
Concubine Xi is dead, but the Fourth Prince is still alive!
When his mother was alive, she protected him very well. Now that his mother is dead, he has left many enemies.
For example, the well-known Concubine An and Concubine Nian.
For example, only a small number of people know about Concubine Yu and Jiayue.
There are enemies both overt and covert. If the Fourth Prince can break out of such a harem, he will be truly a star sent from heaven!
The Fourth Prince was indeed intelligent, but he was just one person and was still too young. Yinzhen also had a prejudice against him. The possibility of him ascending to the throne was really slim. It was even difficult for him to stay alive and healthy.
Concubine Xi harmed others, and she died, making it impossible to seek revenge. The Fourth Prince could only suffer on behalf of his mother.
Jiayue knew the whole story, but she was still a little shocked when she learned that Concubine Xi was sentenced to death. She really admired Concubine Yu for doing this, she just beat the girl to death!
In this game, Concubine Yu was naturally not innocent, but if she was too innocent, she would appear not innocent. Yinzhen still treated Concubine Yu the same way, but he was more patient with Hongzhou.
In his eyes, there is a difference between being born naughty and having one's temperament changed by being drugged.
She recovered the bionic spider that was left with Concubine Xi, and also found a way to get the jade Guanyin back.
Just like that, Jiayue's life returned to peace.
In the fourth year of Yongzheng's reign, Concubine Nian became pregnant again. This time, there were no accidents from pregnancy to delivery, but she still gave birth prematurely. There was no secret behind it, it was simply because Concubine Nian was in poor health.
Concubine Nian gave birth to a sickly prince prematurely.
Yinzhen began to seek comfort from Jiayue and Hongzhao again.
Hongzhao was about to enter school, and Yinzhen liked his intelligence and cleverness very much.
"Let's arrange for Hong Zhao to go to the study room next month!"
"I will obey your Majesty."
In this way, Hong Zhao, who was less than four years old, began his learning career.
After Hongzhao entered school, Jiayue felt empty.
"I didn't notice Hong Zhao around me all day before, but now that he's enrolled in school, I'm starting to get used to it."
"Young eagles will always soar in the sky, my lady, this is a good thing."
"I know, never mind, bring me the book!"
"Yes, ma'am."
While eating lunch at noon, a feeling of nausea came over me.
"What happened to the braised pork that the kitchen made today? It was too fishy."
Baochun was stunned. The food had been checked. She had tested the braised pork for poison in advance. It didn't smell fishy! Suddenly, an idea came to her mind.
"My lady, are you pregnant?"
Jiayue was stunned: "Pregnant? Impossible."
She has always been conscious of contraception. It is true that she has the space to save her life, but the process of pregnancy and childbirth is not comfortable at all.
No, no.
Baochun continued, "Logically speaking, the Madam's period should have come two days ago."
"It can be too late!"
"Your Majesty, you didn't feel sick when you ate before! The braised pork is the same as before, not very fishy. Otherwise, I'd better ask an imperial physician to check your pulse!"
Jiayue nodded: "Okay, just say I'm not feeling well."
"Don't worry, Madam. I know what to say."
Jiayue doesn't want to get pregnant, but everyone in Chuxiu Palace wants Jiayue to have more children. More children means more blessings. With more children, not only will her status be improved, but the future will also have unlimited possibilities.
After Baochun left, Jiayue took her own pulse and then fell silent. She was really pregnant.
As expected, there is no 100% effective method of contraception. We can only blame her for being too healthy.
Otherwise, considering the frequency of Yinzhen's visits and her conscious use of contraception, it would be a miracle that she could still get pregnant!
It would be fine if she didn’t get pregnant, but since she was pregnant, Jiayue would naturally give birth to the baby.
The imperial physician came quickly, felt her pulse, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are pregnant. It has been more than a month. Your Majesty is in good health, and the baby is also healthy."
Jiayue nodded and said with a smile: "Baochun, give the imperial physician some money for tea."
Baochun smiled and said, "Yes, Madam."
After sending the imperial physician away, Jiayue said, "Send the news to the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Empress. Since she is pregnant, there is no reason to hide it. Oh, and by the way, give everyone in Chuxiu Palace three months' confinement allowance to add to the joy."
The harem is now relatively stable without Concubine Xi.
"Yes, Madam, I will send someone to announce the good news and the reward will be distributed."
Baochun went out, and soon the whole Yanxi Palace knew the news of Jiayue's pregnancy.
Not long after, Yinzhen, the Queen, and the Queen Mother also heard the news.
