Chapter 232: Chronicles of Yongzheng's Harem 30
After hearing what the Queen said, Concubine Nian's face turned ugly and she was furious. She had no place to vent her grief over losing her child. No matter how sad she was, she knew she couldn't do that to Yinzhen.
Then he yelled at the Queen: "It's not the Queen who lost her child, how can the Queen empathize with her? Get out of here, are you all here to laugh at me? Get out of here..."
Everyone looked at Concubine Nian with fear in their eyes, thinking that she might have gone crazy.
She was a favored imperial concubine, but she spoke to the queen like this in public. She must be crazy.
The Queen's face suddenly lost expression. The child, her Honghui, was the pain of her life.
Thinking of this, her eyes became wet, and she lost her composure and said to Yinzhen, her voice choking with sobs: "Your Majesty, Concubine Nian is grieving over the loss of her son, so I will take my leave first."
When Yinzhen heard the Queen's voice, he also thought of the child. Honghui was a good child. He was his first son and the eldest son.
It is understandable that the imperial concubine is sad, but it is unreasonable for her to lose her temper at the queen.
But seeing the Imperial Concubine in such a state, Yinzhen couldn't scold her. It wasn't because he was reluctant, but because he couldn't provoke the Imperial Concubine.
Yinzhen said to the queen: "The imperial concubine was provoked and her words were inappropriate. When she wakes up, I will ask her to apologize to you."
The Queen heard his partiality and hated Concubine Nian even more, but on the surface, she understood: "No need to apologize, I also lost my child, I understand, I will take my leave."
Yinzhen nodded and the queen left.
After the queen left, the remaining concubines could not stay any longer and took their leave one after another.
Jiayue followed everyone out of Yiku Palace and was about to go see Concubine An when she received news that Concubine An had a difficult delivery and was afraid that her condition was not good.
There had been news that Concubine An was pregnant with a princess.
Jiayue hasn’t gotten started yet, so there’s nothing to be seen, but it’s a difficult birth!
It seems normal to fall, give birth prematurely, and then have a difficult delivery.
When the Queen got the news, she went straight to Concubine An.
Everyone was unable to "comfort" the Imperial Concubine, so they could only "care" for Concubine An who was having a difficult delivery.
As soon as I arrived at the palace gate, I heard Concubine An's screams. In the yard, palace servants were coming and going, carrying basins of blood.
Not long after, a person came out of the delivery room and asked, "Empress, Concubine An is having a difficult delivery. Should we save the mother or the child?"
To save the older or the younger, is this question easy to answer?
The answer is of course easy. Of course it is to protect the children. The concubines entered the palace and became the emperor's women. The ostensible reason was to continue the royal family's lineage.
The queen was silent for a moment before she said, "...save the child!"
"Yes, Queen."
Everyone waited outside for about half an hour, and Concubine An was still in labor. Yinzhen came. After he coaxed the concubine to sleep, he came over after learning that Concubine An was in labor. After all, the child Concubine An was giving birth to was also his.
"May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."
"Get up, how is Lady An?"
The queen stood up and replied with a pale face: "They said it was a difficult birth. They asked whether to save the adult or the child, and I said... they said to save the child."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's face became even uglier. He naturally hoped that the mother and son, or the mother and daughter, were safe. He couldn't say how much he liked Concubine An, but she was his woman after all.
"Tell the imperial physician to do everything possible to save the master."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Another half an hour later, the sound of a baby crying was heard in the room, but the sound was not loud.
Then there was a panic, saying that Concubine An was bleeding.
After a busy period, the imperial physician saved Concubine An. The delivery room was then opened and the midwife came out holding a child.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Concubine An gave birth to a princess. Concubine An just had a severe hemorrhage and was rescued. She can only rest in bed from now on."
The midwife's words were very interesting.
First of all, An Guiren gave birth to a princess.
Secondly, although Concubine An’s life was saved, she was too weak to support the princess.
Yinzhen and the queen both took a look at the baby in the cradle. The baby was premature and weak, and they both sighed in their hearts.
Yinzhen sighed, fearing that he would suffer the pain of losing his daughter again.
The Queen sighed, because she knew that Concubine An was useless.
The Ulanara clan does not lack a princess, and Concubine An will not be able to give birth to children in the future.
In the next selection, Yinzhen would not allow Ulanara to send in another concubine.
At this time, Concubine Mao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it is my fault. Concubine An lives in my palace, and I failed to take good care of Concubine An."
Yinzhen looked at Concubine Mao, his first woman and the mother of his first child.
Yinzhen was more tolerant of her: "How can I blame you? Concubine An knew she was pregnant, but she still ran around everywhere. It's not your fault."
Yinzhen thought of their two daughters who had died young, and also of the princess that Concubine An had just given birth to.
If Concubine An had been obedient and given birth to a princess, it would not be impossible to give her a position as a concubine for the Queen's sake. But she was always restless and gave birth prematurely.
Yinzhen now hopes that all pregnant concubines can behave as obediently and low-key as Jiayue.
Concubine An had a difficult delivery. He felt sorry for the child, but he couldn't help but blame her for being restless and wandering around.
Concubine Mao: "I hope Your Majesty doesn't blame me."
Yinzhen: "Noble An is not physically fit to raise a child, and she is from your palace, so you should raise the princess!"
Concubine Mao looked as if she was overwhelmed by the surprise, and even had a bit of disbelief on her face: "Your Majesty really wants me to raise a princess?"
Yinzhen knew that she would never be able to raise the two children, and he felt bad. He nodded and said, "I'll leave the princess to you. Concubine An is frivolous and ignorant. I can rest assured that you can raise her."
The people on the sidelines watched Concubine Mao's performance, and Concubine Qi rolled her eyes to the sky, but in the end she didn't say anything.
The queen was in no mood to raise a premature princess.
The matter was decided so happily, and no one told Concubine An who was still sleeping in the delivery room.
However, Yinzhen seemed to have thought of something and added: "After all, Concubine An is the princess's biological mother. Every day, someone brings the child to Concubine An so that she can see the child."
Maopin's smile paused, but she quickly returned to normal: "Even if your Majesty doesn't say it, I will not let Concubine An not see her child."
But if Lady An herself doesn't want to see him, then she can't blame others.
After listening to Concubine Mao's words, Yinzhen returned to the Yangxin Palace.
The queen also asked everyone to disperse.
On the way back, Jiayue reunited with Yubin again.
Jiayue sighed: "Seventh Prince is gone, and the princess born to Concubine An doesn't look very healthy. Tell me, why is it so difficult to raise children in the palace?"
Yupin also looked deeply moved: "Yes, there are always countless surprises in this deep palace."
"Seventh Prince is weak and he didn't provoke anyone, but something happened. He is really cruel. I really hope that the emperor can quickly find out the real culprit. Otherwise, even Hong Zhao and I will not be able to sleep well."
Yupin nodded: "Yes, we can always find out the real culprit. Even if the emperor can't find it, the imperial concubine has lost her son, so we can always find it out."
Jiayue looked at Concubine Yu meaningfully. With Concubine Yu's help, Imperial Concubine Nian could indeed find the desired result. By using the power of others, Concubine Yu did not want to confront Concubine Xi. Concubine Xi had something on her, but Imperial Concubine Nian's favor and family background were enough to make Concubine Xi unable to resist.
Yubin noticed Jiayue's gaze, but just smiled and pretended not to notice.
The relationship between the two is now very tacit. They haven't talked about forming an alliance, but Yubin is betting big.
