Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 212: Chronicles of Yongzheng's Harem 10

Soon, the head maid of Jingren Palace came in with seven young women as fresh as flowers. Everyone paid their respects to the Queen according to the rules, and then paid their respects to the ladies in each palace according to the rules.

The process went very smoothly. After the ceremony, the queen gave a few admonitions: "Since you have entered the palace as concubines, you have all learned the rules. I hope that you will serve the emperor wholeheartedly and abide by your duties. I am looking forward to you giving birth to children for the emperor."

Everyone said in unison: "Yes, Queen."

The queen smiled and nodded: "Well, let's sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, Queen."

After talking about the newcomers, the queen looked at the old people in the palace and smiled more kindly: "The newcomers are like this, and those who served the emperor in the palace in the past are even more like this. There are many vacancies in the harem now. If anyone can get pregnant and give birth to a child safely, I will definitely ask for the promotion of my sisters."

After the Queen finished speaking, Concubine Qi couldn't help but smile and said, "Noble Concubine Nian, please hurry up. The Queen is so generous. If you are promoted again, you will become the Imperial Noble Concubine!"

The Queen's face froze, and Concubine Nian couldn't be happy either.

Concubine Qi's instigation was superficial and childish, but the Queen was really afraid that Concubine Nian would give birth to a prince one day, and Yinzhen would be so happy that he would make her an Imperial Concubine.

After all, Yinzhen had made exceptions for Concubine Nian many times before, and Concubine Nian used many things that only the Imperial Concubine or even the Queen could use.

The position of Imperial Noble Consort is the same as that of Vice Empress. Generally, an Imperial Noble Consort only exists when the Noble Consort is about to die, or the Empress has made a mistake, or there is no Empress.

Unless Concubine Nian was about to die, the Queen didn't want to see any of these situations.

Concubine Nian thought of the daughter who died at birth and the child who was not born.

Both of them had no expression on their faces, and no one was willing to get involved. They just drank tea or ate snacks.

Concubine Nian glanced at Concubine Qi and said, "The Queen is very generous. It's a pity that Concubine Qi may not have this blessing."

Concubine Qi couldn't laugh anymore.

She was two years older than Yinzhen and had long stopped serving the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber. Naturally, giving birth to a son and getting a promotion had nothing to do with her.

Concubine Qi finally forced a smile and said, "Then I will wait and see when the blessing from the Imperial Concubine will come."

Concubine Nian said calmly: "I am young and I can always wait."

When the queen said this, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Concubine Nian herself may not realize it, but sometimes her words and actions do challenge the dignity of the queen.

That was almost enough for the greetings, and soon the queen found an excuse to let everyone go back.

After the concubines left, the queen's face darkened. She returned to the room and asked casually, "Let's make the news of Concubine Nian's pregnancy known! Since you are pregnant, you should take good care of the baby and don't monopolize the emperor and prevent the new bride from giving birth to more children for the royal family."

"Yes, Madam, I will arrange it immediately."

As for the Imperial Concubine, a hint of coldness flashed in the Queen's eyes. If Yinzhen really did that, then don't blame her for being ruthless.

She didn't dare to kill the emperor, but as a concubine born in the Han Army Banner, she had many ways to make life difficult for her.

After the new bride entered the palace, Yinzhen stayed alone in the Yangxin Palace for a few days before he began to visit her. During this period, the news that Concubine Nian was pregnant spread.

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Nian frowned: "Didn't I tell you not to spread it for the time being? What's going on with the news outside?"

"Your Majesty, calm down. I checked and found that it was the Imperial Doctor Cheng who examined your pulse at the Imperial Hospital who was careless and let people know that he had prescribed pregnancy-preserving medicine to Yikun Palace, which is why the news spread."

Imperial Concubine Nian frowned and said: "That Imperial Doctor Cheng's medical skills are average, and I didn't expect that he is also useless. This pregnancy of mine cannot afford any mistakes. Send a message outside the palace and ask mother to help arrange a useful imperial doctor.

As for that imperial physician Cheng, check him out. If he is fine, have him leave the palace! If he is not careful, he will not live long even if he stays in the palace."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Now that the news has spread, let's ask the imperial physician to come over and tell the emperor the good news."

"Yes, ma'am."

In the afternoon, in the Yangxin Palace, Su Peisheng came in to announce the good news.

"Your Majesty, the Yikun Palace has reported that the Imperial Concubine is pregnant and it has been over a month."

When Yinzhen heard this, he immediately laughed.

Concubine Nian was his favorite, so naturally he wanted to have a child with his beloved woman, whether it was a boy or a girl.

He immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go to Yikun Palace to see the imperial concubine."

Su Peisheng smiled and bent down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Yinzhen arrived at the Yikun Palace. When Concubine Nian saw him coming, she hurried forward to salute him, but Yinzhen quickly stopped her and supported her, saying, "You are heavy, so you don't need to salute. Sit down and talk to me."

Imperial Concubine Nian said coquettishly, "It's less than two months old, it's not serious, Your Majesty doesn't need to be so careful."

Yinzhen disagreed and said, "We can never be too careful with our children."

Concubine Nian became even happier when she heard this.

After sitting down, Yinzhen asked: "What did the imperial physician say? Is the child okay?"

"Everything is fine, but because of last year's pregnancy, I need to take pregnancy-maintaining medicine for a few days. It's not a big deal."

Yinzhen felt bad when he thought of the unborn child: "Take good care of your pregnancy. I will tell the queen that you don't need to come to pay respects during your pregnancy."

Concubine Nian was moved, but with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes, she asked: "Will this be a bad thing?"

"Jingpin's pregnancy wasn't good at first, but Hongzhao is very healthy, which shows that rest is effective."

When Concubine Nian thought about Hongzhao, she felt that he was indeed a lovely child. However, the child was not hers, but the child of her ideal husband and another woman. She could not be happy at all.

She lowered her head: "Your Majesty is right. As long as the Queen doesn't think it's inappropriate, it's fine."

"The queen is magnanimous and will definitely not say anything."

Concubine Nian smiled and said: "Then I will listen to Your Majesty. Thank you for your consideration."

After accompanying Concubine Nian to have lunch and coming out of the Yikun Palace, Yinzhen said, "Let's go to the Jingren Palace."

Su Peisheng: "Let's go to Jingren Palace!"

When they arrived at Jingren Palace, the empress saw Yinzhen and respectfully stepped forward to salute: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"You don't have to be so polite, Queen."

The Queen stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the emperor and empress sat down, Yinzhen spoke up and explained his purpose: "The empress should know that the imperial concubine is pregnant!"

The queen smiled and nodded: "I already know the rewards that should be given. I have sent someone to deliver them to Yikun Palace. The Imperial Concubine's pregnancy last year was really heartbreaking. Now that she is pregnant again, I am happy for her sister!"

Yinzhen followed suit and laughed: "Yes, it is indeed worth being happy about, but because the imperial concubine had a miscarriage last year, she needs to rest for this baby. I want the imperial concubine to not have to pay respects before giving birth. What do you think, Queen?"

The smile in the queen's eyes disappeared for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

Jiayue's rest during pregnancy was a special case. After all, her fetus was unstable and could not be faked. She was on the verge of losing it several times.

Furthermore, it was the Queen who first said not to allow Jiayue to pay her respects, which demonstrated her kindness and magnanimity.

Strictly speaking, Yinzhen's words embarrassed the Queen.

"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I was thinking. Originally, I wanted to ask the imperial concubine not to come and pay respects during her pregnancy. Since Your Majesty has spoken first, there is no need for me to say anything more."

Yinzhen nodded: "I feel relieved that the queen is in the harem."
