Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

Tong Nuanyan had no idea what was going on after hearing this. Wasn't it a hint to her? Was she overstepping her authority by asking a question?

When the Fourth Lady was the housekeeper, she did not interfere at all, but now, with just one word, she was caught in the act.

"Replying to Madam, we maids and concubines were just concerned about the two sisters. The two sisters have been in the mansion for three days."

Zhang Gege, who was sitting on the right of Tong Nuanyan, spoke first. She had always followed the concubine, and now she had to step out to smooth things over.

The two newlyweds sat silently at the end. Geng Jia didn't dare to speak now. She began to regret it now. Before entering the mansion, she knew that this concubine had a high status and was extremely favored. Why did she suddenly say such a mean thing?

Only Nianhulu beside her had a slight gleam in her eyes, her hand tightly clenched in a silk handkerchief. Such a subtle movement was seen by the Fourth Lady above.

"I see. Now that everyone is here, let's get started."

As the Fourth Lady finished speaking, the two newlyweds came out from their seats and knelt in front of the main seat. After three kneelings and nine bows, the ceremony was considered complete.

"The maidservant Gengjia Miaoyan offers tea to the wife of the first wife. May the wife be blessed with good fortune and safety!"

According to her status and family background, the first person to offer tea was Geng Jia. She respectfully took a cup of tea from the tray held by a palace maid beside her, raised it above her head, and saluted with lowered eyebrows.

The Fourth Lady also gently brought the cup of tea over and slightly moistened her lips, then put it aside and took a bracelet from the plate that Qiu Li was holding.

Putting the bracelet on Geng Jia's hand, she also said a virtuous blessing, "Geng Jia, please always remember to give the prince more children."

Geng Jia's face turned slightly red, but at sixteen or seventeen she was still a little shy about this.

"Thank you, Madam. I will keep it in mind!"

Then he turned around and offered tea to Tong Nuanyan, but this time, he did not raise the tea above his head, but slightly upwards to parallel with his eyebrows.

"My maidservant Gengjia Miaoyan offers tea to the concubine. May the concubine be safe!"

Tong Nuanyan took it with a smile. Under the cover of her sleeves, the teacup didn't even touch her lips. She put it aside and took a box from Qiuyu behind her.

"Sister Geng Jia is both very pretty and elegant. I'm giving her two jade and ruby ​​hairpins, which are a perfect match."

Geng Jia loved dressing up, so she carefully took the brocade box and liked it very much at first sight. However, her expression changed a little, but she didn't dare to show it too much.

"Thank you for the reward, Concubine. I like it very much. Concubine is very thoughtful."

After Geng Jia finished speaking, she respectfully took three steps back and bowed to the other princesses. She also received gifts such as jewelry and cloth.

The next person to offer tea was Niuhulu. Her etiquette was more correct than Gengjia's, and it was obvious that she had put a lot of effort into it.

"I, the maidservant Niu Hulu Wenrui, offer tea to Madam Madam, and wish Madam Madam good luck and peace!"

The Fourth Lady treated them equally and gave her the same bracelet, which she put on Nianhulu's hand. She looked proud and happy, and the Fourth Lady showed a satisfied look.

"You and Princess Geng Jia entered the palace on the same day, it's the same. There are still not enough children in the palace, and continuing the lineage is the top priority!"

Niuhulu's face turned slightly red and she agreed with some shyness.

Similarly, when Niu Hulu offered tea to Tong Nuanyan, she pretended to do so, using her sleeve to block it and not touching the cup. Last time, she just smelled it and let herself...

Tong Nuanyan collected her thoughts, glanced at Niu Hulu who was bowing respectfully, opened the brocade box in her hand and handed it to her.

"Sister Niuhulu is very well-mannered and has a prominent Manchu family name. I'll give this gold filigree red pomegranate Bou Yao to her. I hope she will have many children and be blessed with good fortune."

Her face was still slightly red, and she maintained a squatting posture as she saluted. She respectfully took the brocade box with both hands and glanced at the Fourth Lady above her imperceptibly.

"Thank you for the reward, Concubine. I will keep your words in mind!"

Seeing her say this, without offending anyone, but inexplicably pulling out the Fourth Lady to block it, Tong Nuanyan actually looked at her with some respect.

This person looks a little strange! But I can't tell what's wrong. I'll have to ask Xia Xi to investigate when I get back.

After one round, both of them received many gifts, and the Fourth Lady once again spoke politely about sisterhood and the continuation of offspring.

A quarter of an hour later, when Tong Nuanyan was about to fall asleep, the Fourth Lady at the top finally let the people go with great satisfaction, and the group of people bowed and saw them off in unison.

When she was fully awake, she had already left the main courtyard and was walking back with Zhang Gege. Looking at Zhang beside her, she was satisfied. She decided to go back to Piaoxueyuan to deliver some things.

Just then, the group had already walked into the garden, and a sweet voice was heard from behind.

"Two sisters."

Looking back, it was Princess Nianhulu.

"Concubine Jian! When I saw you just now, I felt particularly close to you." There was a thin and small maid following beside Niuhulu. After paying her respects, she spoke as if she was surrendering.

As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person. Tong Nuanyan smiled and asked people to stand up. She seemed to be a completely different person from when she was serving tea.

"Does Princess Niuhulu have anything important to do?"

Niuhulu glanced at Zhang and the others beside her, obviously wanting to talk alone. Tong Nuanyan also wanted to see what she was up to, so she asked Zhang and the others to step back.

The two came to a rockery on one side, and as soon as they stood still, Tong Nuanyan felt a slight pain in her head.

He quickly used his mental power to intercept the invisible attack, and at the same time looked at Niu Hulu in front of him. At this moment, she no longer looked elegant and charming.

His face was grim, and it was obvious that he didn't expect to fail.

"who are you?"

Feeling some arc flashing in 805, Tong Nuanyan suddenly had an idea. Could it be...

"What? Princess Niuhulu is afraid of me with the palace fighting system?"

Sure enough, Niuhulu's expression flickered, and she did not comment on her words. Her originally pretty expression now became somewhat contemptuous.

After taking a leisurely look at Tong Nuanyan, she suddenly sneered and spoke to her in an extremely condescending manner.

"As expected of you, you are a time and space alien as described by the palace fighting system. What? After developing here for a while, do you think you can change history?"

history?

Tong Nuanyan was secretly shocked. This person was indeed not originally from this time and space. But it was a bit strange to say that it could not be changed.

According to data from interstellar research on black holes, after someone travels through space and time into a certain node, the space and time they are in is already a new world, and no matter how it develops, it will not affect the original space and time.

Seeing that she was not afraid of her words, Niu Hulu looked at her with a higher opinion. Now that she couldn't kill the person and Tong Nuanyan couldn't seize her system, she could only threaten her with harsh words.

"History cannot be changed. I am waiting to see you being devoured and expelled from this world!"

As Niuhulu was about to leave, her sleeve was suddenly pulled, and she stopped in place and almost fell backwards.

Tong Nuanyan held her waist with one hand and pinched her still round face with the other hand. With a chill in her eyes, she spoke word by word:

"You're the one who should be worried about exposing yourself so early."
