Throughout March, except for the queen's waiting to give birth, there were no other major events in the Old Summer Palace. There are Hongyan who take care of all the trivial things in an orderly manner, and no one dares to block the emperor and queen at this time, and they all look at the movement of the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, most people understand that only when the queen's mother and son are safe, can they be good.

But there are always people who can't see the good of others, but people's hearts grow in their stomachs, and others can't easily see them.

On this day, after Concubine Chun took the sixth elder brother to ask for peace in Ningchun Hall, she did not go back to her residence, but came to Concubine Jia's palace. Almost everyone forgot about Concubine Jia, who was also pot-bellied, although her belly was not as big as the queen's, and she was already high and began to have difficulty moving. But since the early stage of pregnancy, she was ordered to stay in the house, and she couldn't go out at will, except that her diet and daily life were all satisfied according to the specifications of the pregnant concubine, which was tantamount to being under house arrest, and this lonely and depressing day was no different from going to prison.

Concubine Jia has not seen a fresh person for ten days and half a month, Liyun these palace maids and eunuchs can still come out to get something or go to kowtow on behalf of the master, and occasionally go outside to breathe, Concubine Jia has been locked up here for a few months, and suddenly saw Concubine Chun, even if she has always disliked her, her eyes are shining, and she finally sees the faces of people other than palace maids and eunuchs.

"The Queen Mother wants me to visit you, ask if you are okay, what you want, just ask." Concubine Chun said politely, her eyes looked up and down Concubine Jia, she had only given birth to a princess not long ago, and she understood the state of the pregnant person very well, and couldn't help asking, "Sister's complexion doesn't seem to be very good." ”

Concubine Jia said stiffly: "The concubine is very good, and the imperial doctor also said that the mother and son are safe, why does the concubine look bad?" ”

Concubine Chun came today, it was indeed the Queen Mother's casual remark to let her take a look, and she herself had the heart to "remind" Concubine Jia of something, seeing that this woman still had the same face as before, she couldn't give birth to half a sympathy and pity, and only said: "Since the imperial doctor said yes, I can go to the Queen Mother with peace of mind." Now that the queen is about to give birth, I am afraid that they will all revolve around the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, and they will neglect the affairs of their sister's side, at this time, they naturally have to take care of each other, if you have anything, just let Liyun pass a word. ”

"When was the queen born?" Concubine Jia was full of curiosity about the outside world, "It's not that she was born at the end of March, why hasn't she been born yet." ”

"I don't know about this, now the Changchun Immortal Pavilion has no details, it is all the concubines who are in charge of it, others can't intervene, and the Queen Mother doesn't allow us to visit, and I haven't seen the Queen for a long time." Concubine Chun said, looked at Concubine Jia again, and said with a smile, "Sister, this belly is pointy, like another little brother." ”

Concubine Jia turned her face away and said proudly: "Whether it is a little brother or a little princess, I will hold the child tightly." Concubine Chun's face changed slightly, and sure enough, Concubine Jia said vigorously, and asked in person: "Niangniang, why did you lose the child by mistake and let that little slut pick up the cheap." ”

"I have two elder brothers, the emperor is afraid that I won't be able to take care of it, so he entrusted Ling Concubine to take care of it, what did you miss and lose the child, where did you hear it?" Concubine Chun sneered and refused to admit that she had dropped her daughter.

"Yes, as a mother-in-law, even if you are against your own life, you can't let your child be hurt." Concubine Jia knew that Concubine Chun had a hard mouth, and deliberately teased, "I'll just say, what kind of heart do those people have, arrange the concubine Niangniang like this." ”

Concubine Chun coughed lightly and said: "Having said that, Concubine Ling's body doesn't seem to be very good, and the emperor cares about her so much, maybe she won't want her to give birth in the future. Younger sister...... You have to watch your children. ”

Concubine Jia's face changed, and she said angrily: "I don't have such a good sex as you, if she dares to beat my idea, I will not hesitate to do my best." ”

Concubine Chun smiled faintly: "Then you have to have your life to fight." ”

Concubine Jia's beautiful eyes revealed uneasiness, she didn't go out for a few months and didn't see anyone, not to mention being forgotten by people outside, I was afraid that I didn't know how to gain a foothold even if I went out. She didn't give birth until the summer, who knows what the situation was in the palace at that time, a woman with no background and no heirs, all the way from the official woman to the head of the three concubines, maybe when the child in her womb fell to the ground, Wei Hongyan was already on an equal footing with herself.

"Be careful." Concubine Chun got up to leave, and looked at Concubine Jia meaningfully, "Now in the palace, the sisters are asking for self-preservation, aren't they?" ”

Seeing Concubine Jia's eyes full of anger and jealousy, Concubine Chun was satisfied, Concubine Jia could be forgotten by everyone, but she couldn't let her forget Wei Hongyan, they were suffering from falling out of favor, and they were abandoning and forgetting by their beloved men, but Wei Hongyan was living more and more chic, why?

Concubine Chun knew in her heart that maybe someone else would replace Wei Hongyan soon, but she couldn't tolerate the scenery of others in front of her, she would no longer be stupid to argue with the emperor, nor would she ask Wei Hongyan for her daughter back, she would sit on the side and watch her offend everyone, she would no longer get the emperor's love, so she could only look forward to the glory in the future.

In any case, she still has a son.

Having a son is the biggest capital of a royal woman, even the queen can't escape this bondage, now the little life in her womb is about to be born, whether it is a man or a woman who determines the future of the entire royal family, many people are nervous not about whether the queen can be safe for the mother and son, but about the future of other elder brothers, this is the case with the pure concubine, Concubine Jia must also have something in her heart, and now the most peaceful and indifferent is only Concubine Yu.

The days passed, there was still no movement in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, to the seventh day of the fourth month, everyone's patience was almost worn out, because of the order of the emperor and the Queen Mother, all the movements in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion were not allowed to be spread, no one knew how the queen was now, this day was another empty day, the emperor came to accompany the queen at night, Hongyan saw the two talking, she retreated.

Hongyan has already been extremely tired, these days the Buddha is taking care of Concubine Yu, she is back to Pinghu Qiuyue at the moment, Concubine Yu is also about to return to Kyushu Qingyan, the two met halfway, that is, under the dim firelight of the lantern, you can also see her blue eyes, Concubine Yu persuaded: "Don't wait for the mother to be born, you are also broken, these days have been staying in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion in the morning, it is too hard." ”

Hongyan shook his head: "It's just a few days, if the mother and son can be safe, the concubines will not work hard in vain." It's hard for you to take care of the little princess every day. ”

Concubine Yu smiled: "I still miss Yongqi's childhood, I went to school in the blink of an eye, and now I take care of the Buddha, like back to that time, I am happy." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a fire on the way from which Hongyan came and quickly approached, and when she got closer, she heard hurried footsteps, and rushed to the front of her, it was the little palace maid under Qianya, panting and telling the two mothers: "The queen mother is about to give birth." ”

When Hongyan left the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, the queen didn't move at all, this said that she was about to give birth, and sure enough, the imperial doctor was calmer than anyone else, and she was really anxious to give birth to a child. When Hongyan and Concubine Yu rushed to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, the emperor was still in it and didn't come out, Qianya hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The emperor said that he won't leave, he wants to accompany Niangniangsheng, and it is useless for the slave to persuade him." ”

Concubine Yu said: "The emperor and Niangniang lost their second elder brother, it is not easy to this day, the emperor refuses to leave, I am afraid that no one can persuade him." ”

Hongyan also said: "The Queen Mother will be here soon, let the Queen Mother and the Emperor go up and talk, don't panic, listen to the arrangements of the Imperial Doctor and Wen Po, all the things have already been prepared, and the message will be ordered to all the Imperial Doctors of the Imperial Hospital to return to the Old Summer Palace to listen to the instructions." ”

The palace maids and eunuchs came and went in a hurry, and the imperial doctors came one after another, seemingly flustered but orderly, Concubine Yu watched coldly from the side, knowing that all this had been arranged by Hongyan a long time ago, and secretly admired it in her heart.

The emperor couldn't persuade him, Hongyan and Concubine Yu went in to see the scene, and when they saw the emperor holding hands, the queen was so painful that her eyes were closed and she couldn't speak, the emperor anxiously stayed aside, and the two of them retreated silently. And as soon as she went out, she saw He Jing running from Ning Chun Tang in a hurry, Concubine Yu wanted to stop her, but Hongyan let her in, and sure enough, the princess retreated not long after entering the door, Hongyan whispered to Concubine Yu: "That child understands, there is no need for us to be less, she will also understand that no one can insert this time." ”

He Jing ran to them and asked worriedly, "The emperor's mother looks so hard. ”

Concubine Yu has experience, so she naturally persuaded: "It's like this when you give birth to a child, and you will experience it when you become a mother in the future, don't be afraid." ”

Soon after, the queen mother's sedan chair finally arrived, and Jing was running, the queen mother's sedan chair swayed and naturally walked slowly, the palace maid and eunuch hugged the queen mother into the door, she glanced into the courtyard, saw that there was no panic here, but there was no emperor, without waiting for the queen mother to speak, Concubine Yu first explained: "The emperor is worried about the mother, and refuses to leave the delivery room, I am afraid that at this time, only the queen mother can persuade a sentence or two." ”

The Queen Mother frowned and didn't speak, and went straight to the queen's delivery room, and suddenly saw Concubine Ling following Concubine Yu, Xu was anxious, and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Everyone knows that since the queen is pregnant, the affairs in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion are all taken care of by the concubines, but the queen mother is now asking her what she is doing here, Hongyan couldn't answer, and looked at her in a daze.

"There's no need for you here, kneel down." The Queen Mother gave a cold order, then led Hejing and went straight to the door, and everyone followed to the door, and after the Queen Mother entered, they all turned to look at Concubine Ling.

Concubine Yu knew that Hongyan was wronged, and persuaded softly: "The Queen Mother will come out soon, if she still sees you, maybe she will say something, this time she is anxious about the queen's mother, and naturally no one is pleasing to the eye." You go back first, we can't help anyway, if there is any news, I will have someone pass it on to you immediately. ”

Hongyan worked hard to support her to this day, and finally waited for the merit to be completed, and the queen mother drove her away with a word. It's too fake to say that she can't be cold, but what qualifications does she have to be cold? Ruyin had already said that she had no other way but to endure.

"It's all ready here, what the mother needs them to do, just tell them to do it." Hongyan finally explained, "The concubine will retire first, if there is any news, I hope that Niangniang will send someone to inform me." ”

Concubine Yu sighed lightly: "I know, Niangniang will definitely be safe for mother and child." ”
