[Quick Wear] Puhua Fairy is blessed with a long pregnancy

Chapter 2: Queen Tong Jia's Blessing of Pregnancy

On the second day of March in the eleventh year of the Kangxi reign, the sun slowly rose from the east in the early morning, bringing warmth to the slightly cool early spring.

Sheng Huan got on the palace sedan and was carried into the Forbidden City.

They marched along the way and got off the sedan chair when they arrived at the place. Soon, a palace servant came to lead the way.

"Please follow me, Princess Tongjia."

Sheng Huan nodded slightly.

When they arrived at Jingren Palace, the eunuchs and maids in charge of Jingren Palace were already standing at the door to greet them with all the palace servants.

When they saw Sheng Huan coming, the palace maids immediately knelt down to greet him.

"Your servant/servant pays respects to the master, may the master live long and healthy."

The voices were uniform and very respectful.

Sheng Huan's eyes wandered among the palace maids, but he did not see the Uya in the original owner's memory.

Yes, there was still some time before Uya entered Jingren Palace as a maid.

She raised her hand slightly: "No need to be polite, stand up."

"Thank you, Master."

"Master, you must be tired after traveling so far. Let us take care of the remaining things. Let us wait on you and help you rest."

The head nanny, Nanny Li, said respectfully.

No one standing here was disrespectful, at least on the surface. After all, before this Tong Jia princess entered the palace, she was the Emperor's cousin. Seeing how close the Emperor was to her mother's family, he knew that this was a good job.

Sheng Huan nodded and stroked the apricot-yellow cattail flowers on his temples, but his eyes lingered on Nanny Li meaningfully. This person was the one who frequently mentioned surrogacy in the original owner's memory and was also the one who recommended Uya to her.

In her memory, Nanny Li and Wu Ya seemed to have a very good relationship. Thinking of this, her smile became softer, she retracted her gaze and said in a gentle voice:

"Lead the way."

"Yes, Master, please follow me."

Nanny Li breathed a sigh of relief. The lady clearly didn't look stern, but for some reason, the softer her smile was, the harder it felt to fool her.

I always feel that this master is not like what Wu Ya said, because everyone pampers him and he seems to be calculating, but in fact he is very naive and even too arrogant.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like that!

When Sheng Huan looked at her, Nanny Li even felt inexplicably guilty.

Sheng Huan looked at the high wall, pondering the situation.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the concubine system was not yet perfect. Now that Sheng Huan entered the palace, others called her Tonggiya Gege, unlike other concubines who were called concubines.

In the harem, the original owner's status was indeed high, second only to the queen, and even on par with the concubine Niohuru who had entered the palace for many years. This was all the honor Kangxi gave to the original owner. After all, she enjoyed the treatment of a concubine and could bring two maids with her when she entered the palace.

Now the two maids, Tingxin and Tingqin, helped Sheng Huan into Jingren Palace.

Jingren Palace has been very well restored. It is still early spring now, but the palace is full of flowers. Entering the inner palace is even more eye-catching.

The room was filled with gorgeous jade articles and newly decorated with gold ornaments, porcelain, and screens that were a common necessity for a concubine. It could be said to be extremely luxurious.

The luxury is a bit too much and needs to be tidied up. At least the main and the secondary should not be confused.

Sheng Huan walked into the main hall and took a look, then entered the inner bedroom. Well, the style of Jingren Palace is almost the same, luxurious in every way.

She sat down at the table to rest and continued to look around.

Tingxin and Tingqin were ordered by her to make the bed. The two maids grew up with the original owner since childhood, so they naturally knew how to make the bed and what the best thickness was.

Nanny Li brought the tea over with a tactful look.

"Master, please have some tea."

Sheng Huan looked at the surroundings, thinking about how to design it to make it look better. He hummed softly, took the teacup, lifted the lid, and took a few sips.

After resting, Sheng Huan gave the palace maids a lecture according to the rules, and after receiving gifts from the Grand Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Queen and others, he began to instruct the palace maids to tinker with the decorations in the house.

Luxury is fine, but not too much.

After the redecoration, the palace still looks luxurious, but the luxury is also elegant, making it look much more high-end and no longer like a nouveau riche.

Not long after Sheng Huan had finished his meal and woke up from his nap, someone from the Qianqing Palace delivered Kangxi's reward.

Liang Jiugong smiled and bowed respectfully:

"Princess Tongjia, you have just come to the palace and you must be tired. His Majesty has asked me to come and see you. He also told me to tell you to get ready tonight and that His Majesty will come to see you later in the evening."

"These are Nanny Wan and Nanny Guan. They are here to serve the princess and prepare things for her."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Wan and Nanny Guan stepped forward and bowed to Sheng Huan in a dignified manner:

"Old slave Wanxin/Guan Maya has met Princess Tongjia, long live the Princess."

Sheng Huan also smiled and called out, seeming a little shy, but with a hint of happiness in her shyness:

"Thank you, eunuch, and the two maids for making this trip."

Liang Jiugong said hurriedly: "I am not tired at all. It is my honor to be chosen by His Majesty to come to Jingren Palace."

Sheng Huan smiled and winked at Ting Xin. Ting Xin understood and immediately stepped forward and stuffed a purse into Liang Jiugong's pocket.

Liang Jiugong pushed back slightly and said, "Tong Jia Gege, this, this is not possible."

"Why not? Just take the money for a cup of tea, Eunuch Liang, and go buy some tea."

Liang Jiugong secretly weighed the purse, and the heavy feeling made his smile even more friendly:

"Then I would like to thank you, Princess. I have been out for a while now. I still have to serve His Majesty. Your Majesty, please prepare well. I will take my leave now."

"Then I won't bother Eunuch Liang. Listen to my heart and see him off for me."

"Yes, master."

……

News spread quickly in the harem. As soon as Liang Jiugong left, all the six palaces in the east and west knew that Kangxi had turned over the name card of Tong Jia princess who had just entered the palace that night.

Kunning Palace

"Master, there's news from the Qianqing Palace that the Emperor has turned over the sign of the Jingren Palace tonight."

Queen Hesheli looked at the account book in her hand and was slightly stunned when she heard this.

"Master..." The personal maid Bilan looked at Empress Hesheli in a daze, not knowing how to comfort her.

Queen Hesheli put down the account book in her hand and sighed for a long time:

"It's only a matter of time. We all know that Tong Jia Gege is the emperor's cousin. She will enter the palace sooner or later. How can she avoid being favored by the emperor..."

Having said that, Empress Hesheli understood that Princess Tonggia's entry into the palace would mean a major reshuffle of the harem's power, and Princess Tonggia was destined to be a strong rival.

As long as Tong Jia Gege doesn't make any mistakes, she is destined to live a carefree life.

Empress Hesheli touched her belly and felt a pain in her heart when she thought of her legitimate son who died young. However, she forced herself to suppress the grief. She only hoped that she could get pregnant as soon as possible.

Only in this way can she secure her position as queen.

It’s a pity that after taking so many pregnancy-preserving medicines, there was no movement at all.

She only hoped that this Tongjia princess would be the same, as it was difficult for her to get pregnant, like most women in the harem.

Otherwise, once she gives birth to a child, it will be her biggest threat.

……

Knowing that Kangxi was coming tonight, Jingren Palace suddenly became lively, comparable to Chinese New Year.

Everyone was full of enthusiasm. After all, they were following a good master, and they would probably be favored by the emperor on the day they entered the palace. Who would not be happy?

Sheng Huan entered the inner room, and Nannies Wan and Guan began to remove Sheng Huan's makeup and prepare for a hot bath.

During this period, Sheng Huan sorted out the situation of the royal heir in the palace.

Kangxi had been on the throne for nearly eleven years, but there were still few children in the palace. It was difficult for concubines to get pregnant, and even if they did, most of them could not give birth to the baby and had miscarriages for unknown reasons. Even if they did give birth, most of them were sickly and looked difficult to raise.

The Imperial Medical Bureau had no other options but to keep the patient alive with medicine and leave the matter to fate.

There are only two princes and one princess alive in the palace.

They are the Second Princess, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince.

Because they were too young and Kangxi was afraid that he could not raise them, he still hadn't given them names.

The Second Princess and the Fourth Prince have been weak since birth. Now they are constantly taking medicine and their cries are weak. The palace has already prepared for their deaths.

As for the fifth prince, he was born better than his older brothers and sisters. However, Kangxi was afraid that he could not be raised in the palace, so he sent him to be raised at the home of Galin, a minister outside the palace, just a few days after he was born.

With so few offspring and most of them unable to be raised, this would destabilize the country. How could Kangxi not be anxious?

Sheng Huan frowned slightly. It was just the right time to be pregnant, which would be good for her.

After all, getting pregnant and having a baby is not difficult for her, whose real body is Puhua. On the contrary, it is quite simple.
