Chapter 212 Suspicion
Concubine Zhang's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and looks pointed, which makes Concubine Jin very happy.
According to folk sayings, a pointed belly means a boy, and Concubine Jin was hoping that Concubine Zhang would give birth to a prince.
The bigger Concubine Zhang's belly got, the more nervous Concubine Jin became. When the month was late, Concubine Jin didn't even let Concubine Zhang go out.
Huimin and Concubine Jing also exempted Concubine Zhang from paying her respects early on, and only told her to focus on the royal heir and rest in Yonghe Palace.
This is still a polite statement. After all, in reality, it is not much different to say that Concubine Zhang was under house arrest.
Concubine Jin was afraid that something might go wrong with her pregnancy, so she kept her from going out of the house and only allowed her to move around in Yonghe Palace. Even if she took a walk, there would be a bunch of people following her and watching her.
I heard Feng Da Ying say that every time he met Concubine Zhang, she always had a tired look on her face and looked really exhausted.
She suffered from severe morning sickness during her pregnancy, but for the sake of the prince's health, Concubine Jin forced Concubine Zhang to eat a certain amount of food. She ate and vomited over and over again, and her face looked pale.
In order to prevent the fetus from being too large during childbirth, as happened to Fu Cha Peiyun, Concubine Jin also strictly controlled Concubine Zhang's diet.
Everything you eat needs permission from Concubine Jin.
I also take a walk every day, but the route is planned and I can't afford to make a single mistake.
Concubine Zhang lived a depressed life. Although her body looked normal, her spirit and energy were not as good as before.
The bulging belly makes the person look even thinner.
Even when the concubines who were dependent on Concubine Jin met to discuss matters, gradually, Concubine Zhang stopped going.
Even when Concubine Zhang was present, her position was the farthest away from the other concubines, and she was surrounded by several palace maids.
Anyone who talks to Concubine Zhang has to be careful, and Concubine Jin stares at her closely, fearing that someone might harm the royal heir in Concubine Zhang's belly.
The end of summer was the due date for Concubine Zhang, and she would give birth in the Old Summer Palace.
The journey to the Old Summer Palace was very difficult for her, as she was squeezed together with Concubine Jin with her almost seven-month-old belly.
Concubine Jin had to keep her under her own nose to feel at ease.
Concubine Jin did this because she knew how depressed Concubine Zhang was, as she lived under surveillance every moment.
But the emperor still praised Concubine Jin, saying that she really cared about Concubine Zhang.
Concubine Zhang had no words to grievance.
Concubine Jin was very proud.
But Huimin knew that the emperor was speaking in a sarcastic way. Concubine Jin was from the Ulanara clan, and when the emperor wanted a fourth prince, he was unwilling to record it under her name. Now she was making such a big fuss to take care of Concubine Zhang's belly.
Everyone knows what we are seeking.
But it was the emperor who gave her the sterilization drug back then, so he must have felt a bit guilty about it.
Just turn a blind eye to her.
But the emperor would not allow Concubine Jin to have two children, an adult prince and a newborn child.
Concubine Jin's plan was to abandon one of the children.
But she doesn't need to make a decision so early.
After all, Concubine Zhang lives in Yonghe Palace. She is the mistress of Yonghe Palace and the child will definitely be raised by her. However, one adoptive mother is different from another. Whether the jade book will be changed or not depends on the emperor.
But the child has not been born yet, and the atmosphere between Concubine Jin and the Fourth Prince has become subtle.
Although Concubine Jin used to only treat the Fourth Prince as a tool and had little affection for him, at least they had the same goals and interests, so they helped each other.
But since Concubine Zhang became pregnant and moved to the palace, everyone with a discerning eye knew what Concubine Jin meant.
How could the Fourth Prince not know?
Their interests began to conflict and cracks appeared in their solid alliance.
But Concubine Jin is still hesitating. After all, she doesn't know whether Concubine Zhang's baby is a boy or a girl, so she can't give up on the Fourth Prince now.
Moreover, the fact that the Fourth Prince was too old to be tamed was a thorn in his heart, but his age had its advantages.
The newborn baby boy is really too young.
Concubine Jin was hesitant and her relationship with the Fourth Prince was barely maintained.
But Concubine Jin was also afraid that the Fourth Prince would intentionally harm Concubine Zhang's child, so she was always on guard.
The people in Yonghe Palace looked at the Fourth Prince and subconsciously protected Concubine Zhang.
This made the Fourth Prince very embarrassed.
The bigger Concubine Zhang's belly got, the more uncomfortable the Fourth Prince felt.
No matter how useless this noble lady is, she is still a daughter of an official family. Although she is from one of the five banners under the Han army, she is still a bannerman.
If she could give birth to a prince safely.
The Fourth Prince knew what kind of person Concubine Jin was.
In order to achieve her goal, she will do whatever it takes.
This woman was proud of her background and looked down on him from the bottom of her heart.
Not to mention that Concubine Jin looks down on the Fourth Prince, the Fourth Prince actually doesn't think much of Concubine Jin either.
If Concubine Jin had not been from the Ulanara clan.
If I didn’t need a foster mother of noble status.
The Fourth Prince thought.
Among the concubines back then, the Fourth Prince thought of Huimin, who was the best choice. The Fourth Prince thought Huimin had a good personality and did not look down on him. Her father was an important official in the court, so she was the best choice. Unfortunately, she already had the Seventh Prince.
Zhen Huan looked pretty good back then, she was kind-hearted, intelligent, and favored by the emperor. Unfortunately... we can only say that it was fortunate that she did not succeed.
The rest were a few concubines of the Manchu military banner.
The Fourth Prince has also thought about Concubine Lan. No matter which branch of the Fucha family she is from, if they really want to fight for it, they will definitely mobilize the entire family. Hongqing is a fool, so there is still hope for him to get in touch with Concubine Lan.
But the Fourth Prince had not expected that Concubine Lan doted on that fool like a big shot, and even after her son fell out of favor, she was still stubborn and refused to change her ways.
Not to mention Guaerjia, the Fourth Prince really looks down on her because of her brain.
After choosing and picking, there are only a few left.
The only person that the Fourth Prince is interested in and is willing to adopt him is Concubine Jin.
They were both second-best choices.
Concubine Jin doesn't like the Fourth Prince showing goodwill towards other concubines. She doesn't want the Fourth Prince to have contact with other concubines. She is also afraid that the Fourth Prince will use her as a stepping stone.
She even hated the Fourth Prince getting along with other princes and princesses.
He especially hates Hong Yao and Hong Xi, and he also hates Long Yue.
He was born in a humble family, but he was still picky and let him choose his mother. Concubine Jin felt from the bottom of her heart that it was normal for Concubine Xian and Concubine Wan to look down on the Fourth Prince.
If the Fifth Prince's mother was not still alive and was really weak, Concubine Jin would rather choose the Fifth Prince than the Fourth Prince.
At the beginning, when the emperor came to Yonghe Palace and heard the Fourth Prince calling "mother", the emperor looked unnatural.
How could Concubine Jin not know that the Emperor was thinking of Li Jingui? That matter was a taboo that the Emperor could not even mention.
Now, when Jinpin thought about the fact that the emperor associated her with Li Jingui, she felt angry. During that period, because of the Fourth Prince, the emperor came to Yonghe Palace less often.
When the Fourth Prince came to pay his respects, the Emperor, upon meeting him, looked disgusted when he heard him calling her "mother".
Concubine Jin also knew that the Fourth Prince wanted to show off in front of the Emperor, but the Emperor hated him and she would be implicated.
Concubine Jin was so upset that she told the Fourth Prince not to hang around in front of the Emperor. He should spend more time reading.
But this also made the Fourth Prince feel uncomfortable.
