[Quick Wear] Puhua Fairy is blessed with a long pregnancy
Chapter 23: Queen Tong Jia's Blessing of Pregnancy 23 (revised)
On the first day of January in the twelfth year of the Kangxi reign, the weather was fine, with a gentle breeze, and it was also a good day chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory for the grand ceremony of conferring titles on the six palaces.
On this day, Sheng Huan was busy like a top in his wedding attire.
Worshiping gods, comforting ancestors, ladies kneeling, the procedures were so complicated that when it was all over and he returned to Jingren Palace, Sheng Huan didn't feel tired physically, but he did feel tired mentally.
After all, there are too many processes, they are too solemn and too boring.
Fortunately, she quickly adjusted her mood by smelling the fragrance of flowers on the way back. As expected, there is nothing that can't be relieved by smelling fresh air.
"Master is tired today, have a cup of tea and take a rest." Ting Xin hurriedly brought the teacup over. He knew that his master was very tired today.
Several young palace maids also helped Sheng Huan massage his legs and shoulders.
"I have been out for so long today. How are the princess and the prince?" Sheng Huan asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Master, don't worry. The princess and the prince are both fine. The wet nurse just finished feeding them not long ago. I just went to check and the young masters have all gone to bed." Tingqin took over the shift from the little palace maid and came forward to massage Sheng Huan's shoulders.
Tingqin is the head maid of Jingren Palace and is skilled in medicine, so Sheng Huan did not take her to the enthronement ceremony today and asked her to stay to take care of the three children.
Sheng Huan still believed in her loyalty.
Of course, she did not put all her hopes on Tingqin. In addition to her, she also arranged for Puhua to look after her and to inform her in time of any disturbance.
"Is the hot water ready? I'll go take a shower. I'm covered in the scent of candlelight, and it won't be good for the child."
"Master, rest assured, the hot water has been prepared."
Sheng Huan nodded when he heard this and got up to take a shower.
After everything was done, Sheng Huan went to see the children. The three children were almost two months old and had already undergone obvious changes. They had grown up and were no longer wrinkled like ugly monkeys.
It looks better too.
Sheng Huan's eyes were filled with smiles. He was indeed her cub. That's what she said, how could her cub be ugly?
"Qing'er."
At this moment, a deliberately lowered voice came from behind, and the next second, Sheng Huan was hugged from behind.
She didn't move, perhaps because she was afraid of waking the child, and even lowered her voice on purpose.
"Why is my cousin here?"
"Come and see you...and the baby."
Kangxi rested his chin on the woman's shoulder, his nose surrounded by the faint fragrance coming from her, which was so good that he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
He rubbed the woman's fair and soft neck. The clean and light fragrance made him feel extremely satisfied. At this moment, his brows, which had been furrowed due to the political affairs of the previous dynasty, relaxed. Kangxi could not help but sigh.
Sheng Huan let Kangxi hug her. She noticed that he was in a bad mood but didn't say anything. She just waited silently for him to calm down.
After a long while, Kangxi regained his energy. He also felt Sheng Huan's kindness and was touched.
What happens next is a natural thing.
When making love, Sheng Huan was thinking that she only had three cubs in this world which was still too few. Her Puhua clan could give birth to about 20 to 100 cubs at a time. Not only that, the higher the cultivation level and the longer the Puhua lived, the stronger its ability to produce seeds would be. It could be said that every year it produced more seeds than the previous year.
But now, due to her human body, she could only conceive three babies before, which made it seem like she had a genetic defect. If other elves knew about this, they would laugh at her to death.
Well, Sheng Huan still maintains his reputation in front of his friends.
Besides, Sheng Huan felt that although Kangxi seemed to like her very much now, it was inevitable that he would turn against her in the future, so she had to make plans early.
Therefore, Sheng Huan decided to have more children. After all, they were a royal family, and having more children was not a bad thing. Moreover, there was only one prince, Baokang, and he would be unable to support the family alone in the future.
Anyway, for her, giving birth is extremely easy, not as tragic as for humans or other creatures, so she might as well give birth to more children, it won't be a loss.
However, the human body is different from her original body and cannot accommodate too many embryos. The maximum number of embryos this body can withstand is four, so four will be fine.
At the end, Sheng Huan received four high-quality seeds and fell asleep directly in Kangxi's arms.
Before going to bed, she was quite surprised that Kangxi still hadn't mentioned to her that the Queen Mother wanted a child.
Since he didn't mention it, she would just continue to pretend she didn't know.
After Sheng Huan fell asleep, Kangxi did not sleep. He propped up his head and looked at the woman in his arms.
Her cheeks are rosy and she is beautiful and charming.
The more Kangxi looked at it, the more he liked it, and his heart was filled with emotion.
Then, inevitably, I thought of the Queen Mother's desire to raise a child.
He sighed inwardly, wondering how should he tell Qing'er about this?
When Kangxi thought of this, he felt conflicted and embarrassed.
At this time, Kangxi did not realize that if it was someone else, he would never have such a conflicted thought. A verbal order would be enough. There was no need to keep it in his heart for so long and not find the right method.
There is an example in the palace. The fifth prince, who was married to Concubine Hui, was sent out of the palace by Kangxi. He never asked for Concubine Hui's opinion, and he didn't even care what Concubine Hui thought of him.
……
Kunning Palace
"Master, don't think too much and have some food." Biqing consoled her. After all, Queen Hesheli didn't eat much today.
"I can't eat it."
Empress Hesheli rubbed her forehead. She felt tired physically and mentally, and her stomach was very hungry. However, although she was obviously very hungry, she had no appetite at all.
After all, thinking about today's grand enthronement ceremony, she had already been furious when she saw Concubine Tong wearing auspicious clothes and accepting the worship of the ladies of honor. Why would she eat anymore?
After all, her premonition was right. As soon as Concubine Tong entered the palace, the harem structure changed dramatically. Now, in just a short year, she has been promoted to a concubine. What's even more frightening is that she has three children.
"Master, you are the queen. No matter how high Concubine Tong's status is, she cannot surpass you." Seeing this, Bilan hurriedly comforted her.
Upon hearing this, Queen Hesheli shook her head bitterly.
If there weren't a rule in the harem that "a queen cannot be given the title of Imperial Noble Consort", she was really afraid that Concubine Tong would soon become Imperial Noble Concubine Tong. By then, would she have to avoid her spotlight?
"You tell me, when will I be able to have a child? If I don't, my family won't be able to stop me..."
Empress Hesheli touched her still empty belly. Two months had passed and she was still not pregnant. In addition, with Concubine Tong's promotion, her family felt that she was too useless.
The family even found a nanny who had left the palace to teach the concubine's sister the rules of the palace. They had no intention of meeting her at all, and it seemed that they were determined to get her into the palace.
What's even more disgusting is that the previous one sent a message asking her to find a way to let her concubine sister enter the palace, saying that she could adopt the child if she gave birth. Empress Hesheli was extremely disappointed but there was nothing she could do. Now the emperor ignored her for unknown reasons and only went to Kunning Palace to rest on the first and fifteenth day of the month. How could she have a child so soon?
If this continues, no matter how many medicines she takes, it will be useless.
When Empress Hesheli thought of this, she became more and more anxious and impatient, so much so that she decided that she must take action as soon as possible.
She couldn't bear it any longer. If she continued to endure it, her concubine's younger sister would enter the palace. If she continued to endure it, Concubine Tong would climb over her head.
The princess is fine, but the prince must not be allowed to stay.
Babies are prone to dying, so how can you blame her?
Queen Hesheli made up her mind. She rubbed her aching temple and asked:
"Biqing, how is the investigation of the wet nurses of the Third Princess, Fourth Princess and Sixth Prince going?"
Upon hearing this, Bi Qing lowered her voice and said, "Master, there is no way to break through with the other wet nurses. However, it is possible to bribe Lin, the wet nurse who feeds the third princess."
She paused and continued:
"Master, don't think that Nanny Lin is just feeding the third princess, but Concubine Tong has always kept the three children together. If they want to fight, it doesn't matter. If they are properly controlled, the three children may be..."
Biqing didn’t finish her words, those who understood will understand.
Queen Hesheli nodded: "Continue."
"Madame Lin's husband and brother committed a crime outside and were put in jail. Now her family is asking for help everywhere, and even wants to hand a letter to Madame Lin in the palace. Master, this is the best time." Biqing said slowly with a dark look in her eyes.
After hearing this, Empress Hesheli thought for a moment before saying, "Tomorrow is the second day of the Chinese New Year."
"My Lord, it is the second day of the Chinese New Year."
There was a gleam of light in Queen Hesheli's eyes:
"The second day of every month is the day when the palace maids meet their families. Biqing and Bilan, do you think Nanny Lin will go?"
Her blue eyes flickered slightly: "Madame Lin hasn't seen her own son for a long time. How can we let go of such an opportunity to see her own son?"
Bi Qing also said, “I’m sure Nanny Lin will know what to do if she knows what happened at home.”
Empress Hesheli chuckled when she heard this, and a cold look flashed across her eyes: "Okay, Biqing, you will handle this matter. Tomorrow you will send a maid who looks unfamiliar to her to tell her that if she wants to save her husband and brother, I want to see her sincerity and the result I want to see."
She paused:
"If she dies, I will have people rescue her husband and brother, and settle her relatives. Tell her that the prerequisite is that she will take full responsibility after the incident. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen to her son who was born a few days ago and her family."
"Master, don't worry. If Nanny Lin is a smart person, she will know what to do." A hint of deep meaning flashed across the blue eyes.
The corners of Queen Hesheli's lips curled up, as if she had seen the happy result.
……
Zhongcuigong
The former concubine Nara, now Concubine Hui, sat on the chair, admiring the armor on her hands and seemed reluctant to let it go.
"Master, the people in Chuxiu Palace have been arranged." Qinshu, the personal maid, stepped forward, her voice so low that it was barely audible.
"Okay, I understand." Upon hearing this, Huipin's eyes flickered. She touched the long armor in her hand, as if she was touching some priceless treasure, and talked to herself.
"Duanpin, Duanpin, I'm waiting for you to take the bait, please don't let me down..."
Her Fifth Prince is the Emperor's only prince. If the Sixth Prince is not eliminated today, he will definitely be a serious threat to her son in the future.
But she doesn't have to dirty her hands for this, because there is a ready-made Concubine Duan.
Concubine Duan had no idea that Concubine Hui, who had been very close to her a few days ago, had already pointed the knife at her vitals.
But that's how the harem is, with undercurrents, every step is thrilling, and people's hearts are like devils. No one knows how the person who smiles at you in normal times will ruthlessly stab you in the back.
……
The next day, after Kangxi got up, he did not disturb Sheng Huan. He changed his clothes and washed up quickly, then went to the cubicle to check on the three children.
The three children have woken up, their eyes are wide and watery.
When he saw Kangxi come in, he seemed a little curious, and kept babbling randomly, not knowing what baby talk he was saying.
Kangxi was amused: "The Emperor is going to court, you guys should be good and don't disturb your mother, she was tired last night, you know..."
Kangxi's fatherly love was almost overflowing. He touched the three children's little faces respectively, and finally told the palace servants to take good care of them before leaving.
When leaving Jingren Palace, Kangxi looked up and felt that the layout here was too small after all.
Originally, when Qing'er entered the palace, he was preparing for Chengqian Palace.
However, due to some reasons and the fact that Chengqian Palace had not been repaired yet, it was not decided in the end. Later, when he was going to raise Qing'er, she became pregnant again, and it was not good for her to travel during pregnancy, so Kangxi had to give up the plan. Now it should be put on the agenda anyway.
"Liang Jiugong, has Chengqian Palace been decorated?" Kangxi asked. After all, with an extra year to slowly repair it, it should be better than expected.
"Your Majesty, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came a few days ago and said that other places have been prepared, but the new places that Your Majesty has ordered will take some time." Liang Jiugong said.
Liang Jiugong had known for a long time that Kangxi wanted Concubine Tong to move to Chengqian Palace, so it was no surprise that he asked, as he had been keeping an eye on the progress of Chengqian Palace.
Kangxi nodded and said: "Keep a close eye on them and make sure they don't pass off inferior goods as good ones or engage in fraud."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Ministry of Internal Affairs knows that it was your idea, so they dare not be lazy. I've been keeping an eye on them too." Liang Jiugong said hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, Kangxi nodded, slightly satisfied.
