[Quick Wear] Puhua Fairy is blessed with a long pregnancy
Chapter 5: Queen Tong Jia's Blessing of Pregnancy
Kunning Palace
Although it was still early, most of the concubines had arrived.
No one was sure of the temperament of the new Tonggia princess. Moreover, as soon as Tonggia princess entered the palace, her status was equal to that of concubine Niohuru. Many concubines did not dare to offend her easily and did not dare to arrive later than her for fear of bringing bad luck to her.
Several concubines were chatting at the bottom. Suddenly, Concubine Nara smiled and said:
"I wonder if you sisters have heard about it? It was rumored that Princess Tongjia was extremely beautiful before she got married. She must have been a top-notch beauty. No wonder His Majesty picked her up right after she entered the palace."
As she spoke, she had a hint of sadness between her brows and continued:
"I wonder if old people like us can still gain His Majesty's pity."
As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly aroused the emotions of everyone present.
They didn't care about the fact that there was one more person in the palace, but this new person would obviously be extremely favored, so they could not ignore it.
Thinking that their already scarce opportunities to see the emperor would be further compressed, many concubines became more and more panicked.
"Princess Tongjia is of noble status and is also the emperor's cousin. This kind of affection is naturally incomparable to us."
Concubine Nara sighed.
Hearing this, everyone felt even more uncomfortable.
As a result, everyone started talking even more, and some added a few more remarks, both overtly and covertly, with the intention of adding fuel to the fire, hoping to find a fool to test the true nature of this Tonggia princess.
Seeing this, Concubine Wang Jia looked at Concubine Nara, who had disappeared again after bringing up the topic, and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, sighing:
"Sister Nara doesn't have to worry about having the Fifth Prince. After all, she still has a child named Cheng Huan, so she is confident. Unlike my sisters, we don't have the good fortune that Sister Nara has..."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Concubine Nara. After all, her child was the only two surviving princes of His Majesty. Even if he was in poor health, he was still alive.
When Concubine Nara saw everyone looking at her, her smile froze. Everyone knew that the Fifth Prince was sent out of the palace shortly after he was born. She felt very sad, but Concubine Wang Jia was bringing up this matter with her. It was like she was poking her in the face.
She hated it in her heart, but she had been in the palace for a long time, so she reacted quickly and soon burst into tears:
"I am naturally happy to be pregnant with the Fifth Prince, but as a mother, I am so worried about his weak health that I can't sleep well all night. I just hope that the Fifth Prince grows up safely..."
Seeing this, everyone just felt bored.
Concubine Dong drank a cup of tea and seemed to be unable to hear the quarrel. She looked outside with a worried look on her face:
"It's getting late now. The Queen and Sister Niu Hulu are both sitting here. I wonder if Princess Tong Jia encountered something on the way and got delayed..."
Hearing this, Empress Hesheli, who had been watching from the sidelines, smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Sister Tong Jia just entered the palace. She must be exhausted from serving His Majesty last night. It's not too late to come now. Everyone wait a little longer. Don't worry."
This sounded nice, but it raised the hatred level again. The concubines instantly became more wary of Sheng Huan.
"Princess Tongjia is here!"
Just then, the eunuch's shrill voice was heard outside the house.
Upon hearing the voice, all the concubines immediately looked towards the gate, wanting to see whether this Tonggia princess was as beautiful as the rumors said.
Looking up, I saw a peerless beauty walking in from the door.
The beauty was dressed in a light green palace dress, with an ethereal appearance and unique temperament. She walked forward step by step with a light body and graceful steps.
At this moment, even though they knew it was an enemy, everyone could not hide their admiration for the beauty. After the admiration, they felt a strong fear.
"I pay my respects to Princess Tongjia. May you live long and bless me."
The concubines came back to their senses from their astonishment, and immediately stood up and saluted.
"No need to be so polite." Sheng Huan raised his hand slightly, then looked at Concubine Niohuru who was to the lower left of the Queen.
Although Concubine Niohuru was also a concubine, she was the daughter of Ebilun, one of the four great ministers. Her family was indeed good. Although something happened to her now, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and she still enjoyed the treatment of a concubine.
The two looked at each other and performed a half-blessing to each other.
Now, it’s time for today’s important part.
Sheng Huan looked at Empress Hesheli who was sitting high on the throne. It was the first time they met, so Sheng Huan performed the full blessing ceremony with full courtesy.
"Your Majesty, the Empress, may you live in peace and happiness."
Empress Hesheli looked at the woman in front of her. She had actually seen her before. Compared to before, she had obviously grown up. She had a beautiful face and a unique temperament. The more she looked at her, the more beautiful she became. Even she couldn't bear to look away, let alone the Emperor.
Thinking of how she had lived in fear over the years, and her body being weakened by having children and even losing them, she was only in her twenties, and sometimes she could see the haggardness on her face through the mirror.
The girl in front of him was still as old as a flower bud, about to bloom, delicate and beautiful. Although there was only a four-year age difference between them, it seemed like a generation difference.
Suddenly I feel very jealous of this injustice.
Sheng Huan could feel the malice coming from Queen Hesheli in an instant.
But she didn't care too much. After all, there were almost no concubines in the palace who had good intentions towards her, so she had to be on guard against them.
The queen didn't wake up, she just held the teacup and drank, seeming to be distracted.
No one dared to make a sound or give any warning. After all, everyone knew that this was a show of power from the Queen to Sheng Huan.
Everyone stood by and watched the show.
"Empress, I have always been weak and easily sick. Your Majesty is my only relative in this palace. If I were to fall ill, I would naturally have to talk to Your Majesty."
Sheng Huan's body swayed, and she seemed to be about to faint. Her words seemed gentle but were also threatening.
After all, she did kneel for quite a while, which exceeded the normal time for the full blessing ceremony. It was not her fault. If she told others about it, there were so many concubines, palace maids and eunuchs here, and it was not certain who would keep the secret for the queen.
After all, it was just the first time they met. Knowing that the other party was weak, he dared to make him kneel in disguised form of punishment.
If you say too much, people will just say that the queen is intolerant.
No one expected that this Tongjia princess would be so strong.
Everyone knew that she didn't have to be humble because of her status, but no one expected that she would not tolerate being wronged.
