Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 276 Kangxi Concubine Ping 13

The next day, after Kangxi left, Wu Lingzhu stroked her belly and listened with a smile as she listened to Xiaobai chattering about the story of the Crown Prince's defense breaking in Yuqing Palace.

The prince was unaware of this, but he was hardly innocent.

In the first life, the prince found out about it later, but because she was not favored, Kangxi didn't care and he didn't think there was anything wrong.

The fact that his defense was broken now was simply because the situation was beyond his tolerance.

After listening, Wu Lingzhu called Chunying and said, "The people around the prince may not be doing well recently. Find someone to help him and the eldest prince. Find more things for Concubine Hui to do. People tend to become restless when they are idle."

Chunying said excitedly: "Yes, Madam."

Wu Lingzhu's pregnancy has indeed concerned many people.

In Chengqian Palace, Imperial Noble Consort Tong is ill.

Over the years, her life was more of a superficial glamor. She did not have the child she prayed for, and Kangxi did not give her the position of empress.

Due to Depin's "interference", the relationship between the adopted mother and son was not as harmonious as in Wu Lingzhu's first life.

Depin is not the Concubine De who is sure of victory. Now she only has two sons. Although the Sixth Prince is raised by him, everyone knows that his future is foreseeable at a glance.

She then turned her gaze to the Fourth Prince.

Two mothers are fighting for one child. With sincerity and falsehood, real and fake, real and fake, the Fourth Prince is like a sandwich. His situation is even worse than that of Wu Lingzhu in his first life when only one mother cared about him!

Since Concubine De would make her presence felt from time to time, Kangxi did not show much favor to the Fourth Prince.

He also doesn't like being a judge.

Imperial Concubine Tong: "Concubine Yi is so lucky! It's better for this child to be her own."

"My queen, would you like me to have someone give Concubine De to..."

Imperial Noble Consort Tong interrupted her: "It's easy to deal with Concubine De, but what about Yinzhen? There is no impenetrable wall under the sky. His adoptive mother harmed his biological mother. If he knows about it, the affection we have had for each other for so many years will be gone. Forget it!"

Of course it is easy to deal with an unfavored concubine, but she has to consider Yinzhen's thoughts.

The nanny was indignant: "The Queen treats the Fourth Prince no worse than her own son. Concubine De is just using the Fourth Prince. How can the Fourth Prince not understand this?"

"He may not understand, but blood is thicker than water. Besides, the emperor will not allow his son to be unfilial."

Both adoptive mother and biological mother are mothers.

She has the grace of raising her, but Depin also has the grace of giving birth to her!

Wu Lingzhu's pregnancy went relatively smoothly. Of course, two noble men rose to prominence during that time, and she fell out of favor before she even gave birth to the child.

Before winter came, Wu Lingzhu successfully gave birth to a son, the fourteenth child.

The reason why it was relatively smooth was mainly because someone didn't want her to give birth to the child safely. She didn't show herself and directly exposed the person behind the scenes to Kangxi, who solved the problem.

To some extent, this child was born under the personal care of Kangxi.

Kangxi had many children, but he failed to give birth to even more children, most of whom could not be born.

The Chuxiu Palace was in a mess. Kangxi had been waiting for almost two hours. Imperial Noble Consort Tong just opened her mouth to advise: "Your Majesty, you have to attend the court tomorrow. I will be here to guard it. Why don't you go back and rest first?"

Kangxi: "I will wait a little longer."

Imperial Noble Concubine Tong said no more. Kangxi would not be present when all concubines in the harem gave birth, and even if he was, he would not necessarily be there for the whole process.

Just as she was lost in thought, the sound of a baby crying was heard from the delivery room. After a while, the wet nurse came out holding the child and congratulated her, saying that both mother and child were safe. Only then did Kangxi relax.

Here is the whole process of Wu Lingzhu giving birth.

After Kangxi gave the reward, he looked at the child and left.

The next day, when Wu Lingzhu woke up, he felt severe pain in his body.

"Haru Ying, where's the child?"

"My lady, you are awake. The baby is being looked after by the wet nurse. You have slept for a long time. You must be hungry. The kitchen has been cooking all the time. Would you like to eat something first?"

"Yes, I am indeed hungry. Ask the kitchen to prepare some food and bring the child over. I haven't even had a close look at him yet!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Chunying was particularly lively and happy today. After all, no matter how favored a concubine is in the harem, she would always feel a little empty if she didn't have children.

When the Fourteenth Prince was born, Wu Lingzhu's favor finally came into reality.

The children arrived before the food.

Wu Lingzhu hasn't held a child for a long time, and she only teased the Seventh Prince but didn't get too close to him.

Looking closely at the child's face, it was wrinkled and ugly.

Her thoughts went back to her first life, when that child was even thinner than this one.

It doesn't seem like she loves her child very much. She is more of an obsession with her child, and this obsession is mixed with her unwillingness to not be able to control her own destiny.

It's still love, but it's not as pure as before.

Fortunately, she doesn't force herself and just gives as much love as she can.

Seeing this, the wet nurse smiled and said, "I have seen many newborn babies. The fourteenth prince's eyebrows and eyes are all good-looking like the emperor and the queen. When he grows up, he will definitely be lovable."

Born in an imperial family, appearance is not very important, but the child is good-looking, which sounds nice and Wu Lingzhu likes to hear.

"Madam Ji Yan, you have taken great care of this child. I will not treat him unfairly."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is my blessing to be able to take care of the emperor."

Wu Lingzhu was generous. Not only did she settle her family, she also gave them a lot and never lost her temper. With a master like this, she would naturally not have any second thoughts and would naturally be devoted to the young master.

Chunying went out and came back in, bringing food: "The kitchen has stewed chicken soup, would you like to have a bowl first, Madam?"

The weather has turned cold, but the smell of chicken soup makes me feel warm inside. I smile and nod: "Okay, bring it over!"

As he spoke, Wu Lingzhu gave the wet nurse a look and the wet nurse took the child over.

The child was neither sleeping nor crying. Perhaps he sensed his mother's complicated mood and looked particularly well-behaved.

After dinner, Wu Lingzhu asked the wet nurse to take the child out.

Nothing unexpected happened during the confinement period.

Out of confinement.

Then comes the full moon banquet.

At the full moon banquet, Kangxi had someone announce the imperial decree that named the fourteenth prince Yinju.

And a series of rewards, there are two in the Royal Manor alone, and there are countless study treasures, calligraphy and paintings, ornaments...

Everyone who attended the banquet could feel the favoritism.

Kangxi was already in his thirties and would be forty in a few years. The eldest prince had already married and had a daughter, so he was old enough to become the emperor.

Looking back, the average age of emperors in history was not old, usually around 50 or 60 years old. Having a son at this age was considered a middle-aged son, that is, a youngest son.

He felt that it would not interfere with the affairs of state, and since she was capable, he wanted to favor her more.

Wu Lingzhu was the only one in the harem who was sincere to him. He did not ask about the prince's drugging, and he also had a desire to make up for it.

So his preference is natural and legitimate.

But this preference has a different meaning in the eyes of bystanders.

As we all know, the most famous event in the Kangxi reign was the fight for the throne among the nine heirs, not the fight for supremacy among the nine dragons.

There were so many capable and talented sons competing for the title of "successor", but none of them actually took action to kill Kangxi and perform the Qing Dynasty version of the Xuanwu Gate Succession Law.

Kangxi's sons all have a bit of a father-obsession with themselves.
