Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 222: Chronicles of Yongzheng's Harem 20

Summer is over, fall is here, and the weather is starting to get cooler.

Just when everyone thought they could return to the palace, Yinzhen still stayed in the Old Summer Palace. The reason was that Concubine Nian was pregnant and was about to give birth, and riding in a carriage was too bumpy.

In autumn, Yinzhen came to the harem more often than in summer.

Jiayue's favor is not as great as that of Concubine Nian in the past, but she is considered the most favored one.

With a favor and a son, Concubine An has settled down. Those who want to compete for favor are all newcomers and cannot compete with Jiayue. The imperial concubine is still pregnant. Although she is jealous of Jiayue's favor, she has no time to deal with her.

The weather was cool, and these days were the most comfortable days Jiayue had experienced since her time travel.

In September, the wind in the Old Summer Palace became biting, and Concubine Nian gave birth prematurely.

When Jiayue got the news, she was painting in the study. When she heard the news, ink dripped onto the rice paper, wasting a piece of paper.

Putting down the writing brush, Jiayue stood up and said to Nanny Chen first: "The imperial concubine's baby was born prematurely. The imperial doctors have probably been called over. Hongzhao will have to take care of him. I will go there openly."

Nanny Chen: "Yes, Madam."

After saying that, Jiayue took Baochun out.

On the way, when they reached an empty place, she asked Baochun: "Why did the imperial concubine give birth prematurely?"

Baochun knew what Jiayue was worried about, and quickly explained: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine didn't encounter any accidents."

As he was talking, Baochun whispered, "The Imperial Concubine is weak. There have been rumors from the Imperial Hospital that she might have a premature birth. It is probably a normal premature birth."

Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid of these shady plots.

"That's right. Given the importance the Emperor places on the Concubine's pregnancy, the Concubine will not be blamed for any dirty deeds."

With Baochun's help, Jiayue felt much more relaxed.

Soon it was Tantan's turn. As soon as she arrived, she heard shouting from the delivery room. Yinzhen was sitting outside waiting, and the queen also came.

Concubine Xi, Concubine Yu, and Concubine Qi have not arrived yet.

These three people lived farther away, so the queen received the news first.

Yinzhen was so arrogant when the imperial concubine started the incident.

"See the Emperor, see the Queen."

When Yinzhen saw that it was Jiayue, he said gently: "Jingpin is here, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yinzhen: "Su Peisheng, bring a chair over for Concubine Jing."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When the Queen saw Yinzhen's attitude towards Jiayue, she realized that Yinzhen's favor towards Jiayue was not just because the Sixth Prince was clever.

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but look at Jiayue.

The face is still the same, but the temperament is more stable, more bookish, and gentler. Without makeup, the skin looks whiter and firmer.

Although she was not as delicate and fragile as the Imperial Concubine, nor as charming as Concubine Qi when she was young, looking at her reminded the Queen of a poem: "A man of culture is naturally elegant!"

Unconsciously, the once quiet person became a unique beautiful scenery in the harem.

The Queen came back to her senses and asked with concern: "The weather has started to get colder recently, is Sixth Prince okay?"

Jiayue replied in a gentle voice: "Thank you for your concern, Queen. Sixth Prince is doing well."

The Queen nodded: "Sixth Prince, you have taken good care of yourself. I also hope that the Imperial Concubine will give birth to a healthy prince like you."

Jiayue: "Your Highness, with the blessing of the Emperor and His Majesty, the mother and child will surely be safe."

The two of them exchanged polite greetings, and soon, Concubine Xi, Concubine Qi, Concubine Yu... and others arrived one after another.

The last to arrive was the pregnant Concubine An.

When he saw Concubine An, Yinzhen was in a bad mood. The childbirth was noisy, why did she come to join in the fun?

Although Yinzhen was in a bad mood, he was concerned about her pregnancy and spoke in a gentle tone: "Noble Lady An is pregnant, so why did you come here?"

Concubine An had no idea what Yinzhen was thinking. She felt that this was a sign of concern for her and thought that the emperor cared about her, which made her very happy.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I was worried about the Imperial Concubine, so I came to see her."

Yinzhen frowned slightly: "Su Peisheng, send someone to send Concubine An back."

His mind was on the imperial concubine in the delivery room and he had no mood to care about Noble Lady An. No matter what, he had to send her back first.

After speaking to Su Peisheng, Yinzhen explained to the stunned An Guiren: "You are pregnant, it is not convenient for you to stay here, go back and take good care of the baby."

Don't run around!

Of course, Yinzhen didn’t say the last sentence, after all, she was pregnant!

Ever since Jiayue stayed in the palace to take care of her pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy son, Hongzhao, Yinzhen no longer liked concubines who ran around while pregnant.

Of course, Yinzhen couldn't like people like Lin Changzai who were smart but not smart enough to put their intelligence into practice.

Lin Chang was inexplicably absent during that pregnancy. Did Yinzhen know about it?

He is not stupid. He is the ninth heir to the throne. How could he not know about the conspiracy?

But his mind was not on Lin Changzai before, and he had no idea that Lin Changzai was faking illness and pregnancy. The incident happened suddenly, and by the time he sent people back to the palace to investigate, the person behind the scenes had already cleared up all the clues.

It is not impossible to conduct a thorough investigation, but it would be too much of a fuss. For the sake of a self-righteous Concubine Lin, it is not worth it.

Since someone like Concubine An was right in front of him, Yinzhen was still willing to protect her.

Concubine An was pregnant with his child. He was just a little extreme in his love and hate, but he was not too cold-blooded towards his closest relatives.

Of course, in history, the fact that the Third Prince pleaded for his political enemies was, in his eyes, a betrayal and an irony.

The Third Prince's behavior was like trampling on his face. His own son did not even recognize him as a father, but instead he pleaded for mercy for his enemy. How would outsiders view him?

The Third Prince's final fate was a bit cruel, but it was not without reason.

Concubine An was sent back by Su Peisheng.

The rest of the people stared at each other in amazement, waiting at the door for the imperial concubine to give birth.

The screams in the room became more and more shrill, and the concubines sitting outside, as women themselves, could not help but feel something.

Those who have children recall the past, while those who don’t have children, to be honest, feel a little scared when they hear this sound.

It was almost dawn when the sound of a baby crying came from the room. Not long after, a nanny came out holding a child. "Congratulations to the Emperor, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine. Both the mother and the child are safe."

A smile finally appeared on Yinzhen's face.

"Okay, okay, where's the child? Bring him here so I can see him."

The nanny held the child closer, and Yinzhen took a look at the child. Just one glance, and Yinzhen's mood was not so good. The child was not very healthy. He could see it even before the imperial physician said it.

Yinzhen has not forgotten the cry and appearance of Hongzhao when he was born!

The smile on his face was still there, but the joy in his heart was less and more melancholy.

But he still found out: "The imperial concubine gave birth to a child safely. Each person who was honest and upright will be rewarded with three months' worth of silver. The midwives will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver each. Nanny Chen, who took care of the imperial concubine, will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver and a golden ruyi..."

The reward for assisting the imperial concubine during her childbirth was naturally greater than the reward for assisting Jiayue during her childbirth.

Jiayue thought it was normal, but this difference was noticed by some people who were concerned.

After Yinzhen finished talking about the reward, he looked at the sky and it was already evening.

"It's getting late, my beloved concubines, please go back!"

The queen took the lead and bowed to take her leave: "Then I will go back first."

Everyone: "I will take my leave."
