The tenth day of the second lunar month was the day when the concubine was brought into the Prince of Yu's mansion. Jiang Changning sent someone to deliver gifts as usual and did not pay much attention to it.
In the afternoon, Jiang Changning was sleeping soundly when he heard someone whispering in the room, ". Fainted, tea. Didn't work."
"It's the same."
".The imperial physician is pregnant.month."
"Who's pregnant?" Jiang Changning asked.
"Princess, you're awake." Xiulan and Shufei put down their work and came to serve.
"Who is pregnant? She hasn't told you yet." Jiang Changning sat up and asked.
Su Fei answered hesitantly, "It's Princess Yu."
The princess got married earlier than Princess Yu, and she and the prince were in love, but she was not pregnant. She was worried that the princess would be sad if she knew that Princess Yu was pregnant.
"How many months?" Jiang Changning put on his shoes and got out of bed.
"It's been almost two months. Today, at the wedding hall for taking a concubine, Princess Yu suddenly fainted before she even drank the tea offered by Fang. Prince Yu sent someone to invite the imperial physician, who examined her pulse and found out that Princess Yu was pregnant." Shu Fei said.
Jiang Changning paused for a moment while buttoning her bun.
The palace would check the patient's pulse once every half a month.
With the pulse-taking skills of the imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital, they would have definitely diagnosed Zhao Xifang was pregnant long ago.
But Zhao Xifang kept it secret, and when she was about to take in a concubine, she suddenly fainted, which was obviously a way to intimidate Fang Youting.
Before the ceremony was completed, Fang Youting became an awkward presence in Prince Yu's mansion.
Zhao Xifang is pregnant and cannot do too much work, so it is unknown how long the tea serving will be delayed.
I wonder how Fang Youting will break this situation
Having lived with Fang Youting in the palace, I knew that she was no less thoughtful than Chen Yi. I'm afraid the backyard of Prince Yu's Mansion would not be as quiet as it is now.
During the Lantern Festival, I wanted to involve the Zhao family, but unfortunately I failed. But it doesn’t matter, there will be opportunities in the future.
Jiang Changning smiled faintly and said, "Shu Fei, the fact that Princess Yu is pregnant is a happy event. I am neither envious nor sad. You don't have to worry about this. If you find out about what happened outside, you must report it to me, understand?"
"I understand. Please forgive me, Princess. I shouldn't have thought about it so much." Su Fei lowered her head and said.
"It is not good for either the child or the mother for a woman to get pregnant at such a young age. Your Highness is understanding and would not let me suffer this." Jiang Changning explained.
Xiulan and Shufei were both surprised and delighted. It turned out that this was the reason why the princess had not been pregnant for four months after marrying into the palace!
Jiang Changning's words were confirmed the next day. Concubine Lu in the palace had a miscarriage and gave birth to a fully formed baby boy.
Lv Xiujie was petite and young, and was not suitable for bearing children at all. However, she got pregnant anyway. As the fetus in her belly grew bigger, the mother's body could not bear it, and she had a miscarriage.
In the palace, Lu Xiujie cried so much that she fainted several times.
The emperor still had some affection for her and came over to comfort her.
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me. I have been taking good care of my pregnancy, so how could I suddenly have a miscarriage? There must be a reason." Lu Xiujie made the complaint with great scheming.
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly." The emperor said hatefully.
He had few children, and after finally having a son, he lost him again. He was no less sad than Concubine Lu.
What he felt more was anger. He would never let off anyone who dared to attack his offspring.
At this time, the chief eunuch came in and reported the good news to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Doctor Fang took Concubine Su's pulse and confirmed that Concubine Su is one and a half months pregnant."
The emperor was overjoyed, "Good, good, God bless you."
As he said this, he stood up, left Lu Xiu Ju, who had just suffered a miscarriage and was heartbroken, and went to visit Concubine Su.
"Your Majesty." Lu Xiujie looked at the back of the man who didn't even turn his head with resentment, and suddenly smiled silently, with a bit of madness in her expression.
My mother said that men are fickle.
Especially the emperor, who is the ruler of the world, is the most unfaithful and ruthless.
People's sorrows and joys are not the same. Lu Xiujie is very sad, while Su Wanyang is very happy.
The emperor also promoted Su Wanyang's position from a seventh-rank concubine to a sixth-rank talent, and moved her to the Yanzhiyuan of Yanqing Palace.
The emperor also asked Lu Zhaoyi to take care of her, "My beloved concubine has always acted properly. I will leave all matters concerning Concubine Su to my beloved concubine."
Su Wanyang was recommended to the Emperor by the Queen and is on the Queen's side. Although Lu Zhaoyi and the Queen cannot be said to be enemies, they are not too close either.
But the emperor handed Su Wanyang to her, and Lu Zhaoyi could not refuse, and had to accept the order with a smile, "I will definitely take good care of Su Cairen and let Su Cairen give birth to a baby boy for Your Majesty safely."
"Good, good, good." The emperor was very happy.
The queen was almost angry to death. She grabbed the teacup on the table and was about to smash it to the ground.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." The trusted female official knelt down to persuade her, "Your Majesty is helping your Majesty."
"What do you mean?" asked the Queen.
"If His Majesty had asked the Queen to take care of Concubine Su, Concubine Lu would have certainly tried to make Concubine Su miscarry. Now that His Majesty has handed Concubine Su over to Concubine Lu's care, Concubine Lu will not dare to mess around, and Concubine Su's pregnancy will be stable."
The queen thought about it and realized that it made sense. She smiled and said, "You are right. I was wrong."
In the afternoon, more good news came.
Wu Jiaoxing, who was recommended by Concubine Cui, had been pregnant for more than a month, and the emperor generously promoted her from Wu Xuanshi to Wu Cairen.
The Emperor intends to move Wu Cairen to Yanqing Palace and hand her over to Lu Zhaoyi so as not to trouble two masters for the same matter.
Concubine Song came over upon hearing the news, "Your Majesty, I think Lady Wu is kind and amiable. I beg Your Majesty to let Lady Wu move to Chengxi Palace and let me take care of her myself. I will do my best to ensure that Lady Wu can give birth to Your Majesty's son smoothly."
The emperor thought about it for a moment and agreed, "Wu Cairen will be left in the care of my beloved concubine."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will live up to your trust." Concubine Song bowed.
Concubine Song was happy, but the Queen was furious. The tea set could not be saved and was smashed to pieces.
The Emperor entrusted Concubine Su to the care of Concubine Lu, and Concubine Wu to the care of Concubine Song. How much does he not trust her as the master of the harem
The queen has no children and is not favored by the emperor. What she does is really boring.
The queen was so angry that she swept everything on the table to the ground.
No, the position of queen belongs to her, no one can take it away from her.
The queen's eyes became firm, "Someone come."
The trusted female official came in and said, "My lady, what can I do for you?"
"Come here." The queen called her to her side and whispered a few words, "Go out of the palace immediately and do it."
"Yes." The trusted female official stepped back two steps and looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. "My lady, I will have someone come in to clean this up."
"Yes," the queen nodded.
Each government office knows something about what's going on in the palace through the people they have stationed in the palace. Some are happy while others are worried.
Do you think Ningning is pregnant? No, there are many people who are pregnant, but Ningning is not.
