Chapter 274: The Goddess of Childbirth: Legend of Zhen Huan (4)
The emperor was not sure how many times it would take for the queen to get pregnant, so he stayed overnight for five days in a row until his body could no longer take it, and then he rested for a few days.
But the new bride has already entered the palace, and it would be unreasonable not to favor her. Moreover, there is Concubine Hua who is obsessed with him. If he favors Concubine Hua, she will inevitably get pregnant. Just when the emperor was in a dilemma, Su Peisheng trotted in.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xia has fainted." Normally, such a trivial matter should not be told to the emperor, but this matter is really outrageous.
During the incident of catching cicadas in the Imperial Garden that day, neither Zhen Huan nor Shen Meiyu said a word, but Xia Dongchun kept complaining. All her words of resentment were written down by the honest palace maid. When Concubine Hua asked about it, the little palace maid told her word for word.
Because Xia Dongchun was disrespectful to Concubine Hua, she was punished by Concubine Hua to continue catching cicadas in the Imperial Garden. The cicadas in the Imperial Garden kept chirping all day, so Xia Dongchun was not allowed to eat that day. For five days, she had not eaten a grain of rice except for some soup, so she fainted from hunger.
Hua Fei did not expect that Xia Dongchun would be honest at this time. Of course, she did not know that the three of them saw Fu Zi's body in the well in the imperial garden that day and were all frightened.
Of course the Queen would not let go of this guy who slandered Concubine Hua. Besides, whether it was the incident with Fu Zi or the incident with Xia Dongchun, they were all done by Concubine Hua, so it could not be considered slander. What the Queen had to do was just to give the Emperor an opportunity to make use of the issue.
As the person who accompanied the emperor out of the palace, the empress knew very well that the emperor did not want to give Hua Fei a child. However, because of the existence of Chunpin, this child would definitely be there and would definitely be kept.
But even if there is to be one, it must be after the queen's legitimate son. It is precisely because the queen knows all this that she must make this trip.
"Your Majesty, the Empress wants to see you." Xiao Xia Zi didn't see her master coming out, and saw the Empress looking for the Emperor, so she hurried in to report.
"Please come in, Queen." The emperor was almost excited. After being married for many years, he knew the Queen just as she knew him.
"Greetings to the Emperor." The Queen bowed, and when she saw the Emperor extending his hand to her, she quickly placed her hand in the Emperor's palm and stood up.
"Your Majesty, the palace maids in the Imperial Garden reported that they found Fu Zi who had been missing for a long time, and Concubine Xia fainted from fright." It was not a nice thing to say that she fainted from hunger, so the Queen had no choice but to say that she fainted from fright.
"Concubine Hua is becoming more and more reckless," the emperor sighed, and the queen knew that the emperor had listened to her.
"I think that Concubine Hua's intention was to teach Concubine Xia a lesson for being disrespectful to Concubine Chun. It's not a big deal, but it's a pity for Fuzi."
"It's because I doted on Concubine Hua too much." The emperor's words seemed to be self-blaming, but in fact he had already attributed all the mistakes to Concubine Hua. Sure enough, the queen began to join in.
"How could the emperor be wrong? After all, Concubine Hua is too young." She is young and therefore hot-tempered, and does not know her limits.
The emperor and the empress tacitly determined Hua Fei's guilt, and using the Xia family and the upper three banners to shut up the Nian family and neglect Hua Fei. As compensation, Hua Fei's palace power remained unchanged.
I don’t know what Concubine Hua was thinking, but the emperor and the empress were both pleased and relieved. That night, the emperor favored Lady Borjigit with ease.
Lady Borjigit did not speak Manchu or Chinese, and the maids who served her all came with her from Khorchin. From the very beginning, she had planned to make a mascot.
Faced with the emperor's favor, noblewoman Borjigit could be said to have been perfunctory throughout the whole process. The emperor had no interest in it and just dealt with it hastily. Shi Yi, who was watching everything, gave a very bad review.
However, the residual souls of Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er in the space were ready to move, and it seemed that they were very satisfied with this mother body. Shi Yi sent the two residual souls into the body of Noble Borjigit.
In Yiku Palace, Concubine Hua was standing barefoot on the ground in her pajamas.
"Songzhi, did I really do anything wrong? It was clearly Xia who spoke rudely first, and I was just admonishing Concubine Chun. Why did the emperor get angry with me?"
"Your Majesty is certainly not wrong. It was because the Queen went to the Yangxin Palace that the Emperor ignored Your Majesty."
"Yes, it's all the Queen's fault." Concubine Hua's face changed and she looked towards the direction of Jingren Palace fiercely.
In Jingren Palace, the queen caressed her belly. She had a premonition that a life would be born here. When she thought of having a child, the queen couldn't stop smiling.
"Tomorrow, ask the kitchen to make some easy-to-digest snacks. I want to leave some for Chunpin to eat together."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jianqiu was happy to see that the Queen was living a comfortable life.
The next day, noble lady Borjigit paid another visit to the empress. After accepting her teachings, she returned to her own Yonghe Palace, which was the former residence of the empress dowager. It was allocated to her only to appease her as a mascot, and it also meant that the emperor would not favor her too much.
Noblewoman Borjigit didn't have any ideas. She brought a lot of money when she came, so she was not afraid of a hard life. She would learn the language slowly if she didn't speak it. She had nothing to do anyway, and it would be even better if she was lucky enough to have a child.
Listening to the palace people around him speaking in a language he could not understand, Borjigit walked back with determination, looking forward to the future.
The one who was favored on the second day was Noble Lady Fucha. In front of the emperor, Noble Lady Fucha was gentle and considerate. Facing the beautiful Noble Lady Fucha, the emperor was also a little interested in her. Shiyi waited for the remnant soul to react during this time, but the remnant soul did not react at all.
Just when Shi Yi was about to give up waiting and pick one at random, a residual soul moved. Shi Yi took a look and his eyes went dark. This was the residual soul of Yongzheng. Wuhu, this is in trouble.
I gave birth to myself, I am my own father.
Shi Yi didn't even dare to think about it. After putting the residual soul into Noble Lady Fucha's body, he slipped away in a hurry. The residual soul would not have complete memories, and the child born would naturally not recognize that the emperor was himself. However, Shi Yi still felt embarrassed for the future seventh prince.
While the emperor favors new people, he cannot neglect the old ones. It took two months for one round to end. During this period, the emperor would occasionally visit Concubine Hua, but he never favored her otherwise.
Hua Fei was sad every night, in contrast, the Queen's Palace was bustling: "Cousin, try this, this is the pot sent by the Queen Mother. It's getting colder today, eat some pot to warm your body."
"Thank you, cousin." Shi Yi smiled and two dimples appeared on her face. Otherwise, she would say that she liked the queen. As long as there was profit to be made, the queen would treat her as an ancestor and worship her.
The queen was content with the joy of feeding her little cousin, and the emperor beside her did not mention anything about not talking while eating or sleeping. The three of them seemed like a real family of three.
"The Queen, please try this mutton." The Emperor liked light food, so he cooked a separate pot with less spiciness. This resulted in the mutton having a strong fishy taste, so the Emperor wanted to give it to the Queen.
