Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

Time passed quickly, and the scenery of the palace went through two springs, summers, autumns and winters.

October of the 44th year of the Kangxi reign.

When the maple leaves were lush again this year, covering the palace with a layer of light golden color, the lively sounds of children playing broke the silence.

With the tacit approval of Prince Yong's Mansion, Piaoxue Courtyard underwent a reconstruction, connecting the uninhabited Hengyuan Pavilion next to it and merging it into Piaoxue Courtyard.

Tong Nuanyan now has six children, and the original courtyard is not big enough for them to live in. The Fourth Lady can only help to take care of things in a virtuous way.

A lot of things have happened in the palace in the past two years.

Prince Honghui was seriously ill last year. Because the Fourth Lady was eager for her son to become successful, Honghui overworked himself. He was sent to a Grade A hospital for treatment, but was told that he would be sick and weak from then on and should not overwork.

The Fourth Lady was devastated and remained silent for half a year. I heard that she has recently started to take care of her health and wants to have another child.

Last year, Concubine Li gave birth to another son, named Hongshi, who was very healthy. At the same time, her position was promoted to concubine.

However, Niuhulu and Gengjia, who entered the palace at that time, have never given birth to a child. Gengjia was not favored enough and failed to get pregnant, while Niuhulu got pregnant once but had a miscarriage for unknown reasons.

As for Uya, she may have come to terms with it and no longer wanted to compete for favor or children. Now she and Gengjia have come together and formed a small group.

Piaoxueyuan·Hengyuan Pavilion.

"Mother~, my brother Hongyan took my kite~"

Two little girls who were wearing the same style but different colors of small jackets and looked somewhat similar called Tong Nuanyan back from her memories.

These two are two of the triplets born to Tong Nuanyan, Hongxu and Hongyan.

A cute little girl, with a delicate face and delicate figure, smiled so hard that her teeth were showing and her eyes were not: "Mother, the kites of the fifth and sixth brothers fell down~"

Hongyan, who was wearing blue clothes, was unhappy. He was already feeling aggrieved because his brother had complained about him. When he saw his kite falling, tears started to fall from his eyes.

Tong Nuanyan quickly stepped forward and took him into her arms, gently wiping away the tears on his face:

"Hong Xu, if the kite falls, we will put it up again. If you don't like the kite, you can tell Madam or Mother. You can ask Hong Xu and only take his kite after he agrees. Got it?"

Perhaps it was because she had become a mother that her words became more verbose. After Tong Nuanyan's long string of words, she successfully stopped Hongyan from crying.

With tear marks still on her little face, she apologized to Hongxu in a low voice.

"Fifth brother...Fifth brother, I'm sorry~"

Hongxu realized his role as an older brother and hugged Hongyan with both hands. The two brothers patted each other and smiled at each other, and they seemed to have reconciled.

The pink ball pouted, feeling bored, and came over to hold Tong Nuanyan's hand:

"Mother, Jiaoyue is a little hungry and wants to eat the small cake made by Aunt Xia Han~"

That’s right, the one wearing the pink clothes is the younger sister of the triplets, Jiaoyue.

Xia Han is a cooking bionic person that was quickly snatched up by 805 last year. She is very good at making pastries and won praise from all the staff of Piaoxueyuan as soon as she arrived.

"How many did you eat today? Be careful of tooth decay."

Jiaoyue raised her head proudly and walked towards the main hall of Hengyuan Pavilion with Tong Nuanyan. On weekdays, the children had their meals in Hengyuan Pavilion.

Tong Nuanyan would often come over to dine with them, so she didn't seem unfamiliar.

Greeting Hong Yan and Hong Xu who were still playing, the four of them, mother and son, entered the main hall together, and Xia Han quickly prepared today's small cake.

"Red date and brown sugar cakes, strawberry cream cakes, and mango layer cakes are all the little masters' favorite foods."

Xia Han often wears dark-colored dresses. She looks like a cyborg in her thirties, and her appearance is rather plain.

"Thank you, Aunt Xia Han!"

Tong Nuanyan watched the three people happily eating the cake, and thought of the other three children who were now in school.

Hongzhao and Hongxi studied in the imperial palace's upper study room, while Xinyu was taught by Ji Ying in Hengyuan Pavilion. After Hongzhao and Hongxi came back from school, Ji Ying would also tutor them in knowledge.

evening.

"Mother, we are back. Today our son was praised by the Grand Secretary!"

Hong Zhao is now five years old. He has grown his hair into braids and his forehead is bald. Fortunately, his head was not flattened by sleeping when he was a child, otherwise it would not look so good.

Four-year-old Hongxi ran happily into the yard, followed by Hongzhao at a leisurely pace. The two brothers, one likes to wear purple and the other likes to wear orange.

"Mother, Third Brother is amazing. I didn't even understand what the Grand Secretary asked today, but Third Brother was able to answer it."

Hongxi was active in character and was not as good as Hongzhao in academics, but he had achieved some success in using bows and arrows at a young age.

"Your third brother is very good, so are you better at archery than your third brother? You two should learn from each other. You teach your third brother archery, and your third brother teaches you academics."

Hong Zhao and Hong Xi were listening attentively, and when they saw two people, one big and one small, walking out of Hengyuan Pavilion nearby, they immediately shouted towards the other end.

"Xinyu, what did Aunt Jiying teach you today? We taught you how to use the study room, how about what you taught Aunt Jiying?"

Tong Nuanyan was stunned for a moment, then she realized that the two boys were putting their knowledge into practice and shook her head in amusement.

After everyone entered the house, Qiu Yu looked at Tong Nuan Yan with some hesitation, and it was obvious that she had something to say.

After taking a look at the children playing, Tong Nuanyan took Qiuyu into the inner room.

"Concubine, there is news from Luomei Courtyard. I heard that Concubine Li can no longer have children."

Listening to Qiuyu's affirmative look, Tong Nuanyan was slightly surprised. This was the root cause of the disease she had when she gave birth to the seventh prince Hongshi last year. Could it be cured?

"Can Xia Xi confirm this news?"

Qiu Yu had been following him for the past few years, so he knew how powerful Xia Xi was. He nodded, confirming the authenticity of the news.

"Concubine, should we be on guard?"

Tong Nuanyan pondered for a moment and finally made a decision.

"In the future, you must be more careful with the food, clothing and expenses of the prince and princess. You must pay close attention to the new maids who came at the beginning of the year and make sure that none of them have second thoughts."

Since the modification potion ran out last year, the StarCraft Mall has not had any new related items for a long time, as if the server was shut down and could not be updated.

I can only be thankful that the things inside can still be purchased, and the monthly allowances are still there.

Qiuyu took the order and went down. Looking at her back, Tong Nuanyan felt that it had only been a short while since the peace in the palace was broken.

Just then, a four-year-old girl with a dignified demeanor walked in. She had a fair and rosy face and eyes that were exactly the same as Tong Nuanyan's.

"My daughter pays respects to my mother."

This is Xinyu. Among all the children, she is the most dignified. Ever since she started learning etiquette from Momo, her every move has been exceptionally dignified.

Tong Nuanyan once thought that she was brainwashed by the nanny. After a late-night talk between mother and daughter, she found out that this was what Xinyu wanted, so she had to let her go.
