Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

Thinking of this, Tong Nuanyan felt relieved. Fortunately, she used her supernatural powers to control the poison in the first place and no disaster occurred.

Tong Nuanyan carefully placed her hand on her belly. This was her fourth child. She had been in this era for less than eight years, and she already had so many blood-related children.

"Don't worry, Yanyan. The imperial physician said that the pregnancy is promising. Just take good care of yourself in the next two months."

Yinzhen suppressed the gloom that flashed across his eyes, not wanting to reveal his dark side in front of Tong Nuanyan.

Everyone in Piaoxue Courtyard, who had been wiping their tears and keeping silent, knelt on the ground in unison after hearing Yinzhen's words:

"I, your servant, will serve Concubine Jin well!"

Yun Xin's tears were streaming down her face. Qiu Yu in front of her was not much better, and her eyes were red.

After all, she was by the concubine's side when the incident happened, but she did not notice something was wrong at the first time. It was her dereliction of duty, and she thought the prince would punish her severely.

He never thought that he would be able to make amends for his crime and stay by the side of the concubine to serve her well.

"Get up, everyone in Piaoxueyuan has done a great job this half-moon, and I'll reward you with the March monthly allowance!"

For a moment, everyone in Piaoxue Courtyard was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Concubine!"

Tong Nuanyan fell asleep due to exhaustion as she watched, and she only felt that someone was tucking her in the quilt while she was sleeping.

...

The farce in Prince Yong's Mansion could never be concealed from the palace. Kangxi, who was in the Qianqing Palace, was very angry and rarely doubted his own judgment in his heart.

At first, he was quite satisfied with the legitimate daughter of the Ulanara clan, and he had also considered choosing a wife for Yinzhen. Who would have thought that fifteen years later, things would turn out like this.

Kangxi closed his eyes, returned to his desk, and was about to write a decree to depose the Fourth Lady, but then stopped.

No, no!

He weighed it in his mind. Not many people knew about this. If he ordered its abolition, who knows what kind of rumors would arise. He couldn't do that to save the royal family's reputation.

It cannot be revealed to the Tonggiya clan, as the Tonggiya clan is now very powerful. Concubine Xun has no children, and only the fourth prince's concubine has given birth to children with both Aisin-Gioro and Tonggiya bloodlines.

Compared with other princes, it is not difficult to imagine which side Tong Jia will stand on, so he can only suppress the matter.

However, this might discourage the fourth son.

He also thought of Concubine De who was still under house arrest. As a biological mother, she hated her son, and as his father, he had to save face and not take action.

After all, I still feel sorry for the fourth brother.

"Liang Jiugong, let the fourth brother come to see me."

Half an hour later.

When Kangxi saw Yinzhen, who looked extremely haggard, he bowed and said nothing, but coughed.

"Old Four, what are your plans for the Ulanara clan?"

Yinzhen's expression became even colder and harder, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. He just clenched his hands into fists under his sleeves and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Replying to Your Majesty, the Ulanara family was married to you by Your Majesty. Logically, I should also consider her as your legitimate wife."

After he said this, the hall suddenly became very quiet. Although his trusted eunuchs were waiting by his side, it was so quiet that even the eunuchs dared not breathe heavily.

Looking at Yinzhen kneeling below, Kangxi didn't know how to react for a moment. The fourth brother said this clearly, directly indicating that he could not disobey the emperor's order. It was obvious that he noticed his intention to let him go.

This inevitably made him a little angry.

"Old Four, are you blaming me?"

A cold and solemn atmosphere surrounded the entire hall. The haggard man kneeling in the center slowly knelt on the ground.

"I don't dare."

The young man who said he didn't dare did not show any fear on his face. He remained lying on the ground with a calm tone.

The atmosphere gradually began to drop to freezing point, and finally it was Kangxi who sighed first with guilt.

"Ulanara has a bad character and evil intentions. She should be deposed as a concubine, but since this concerns the reputation of the royal family, we should announce that she is seriously ill!"

Listening to the majesty of the emperor above, Yinzhen's tense body relaxed a little, which made Kangxi notice it a little, and he felt even more guilty.

"I would like to thank the Emperor for his help. I have now imprisoned Ulanara."

Kangxi rubbed his temples, thinking of the confined Concubine De, and suddenly wanted to know what his son was thinking:

"Did you go to see Concubine De during these days of house arrest?"

The people below were silent for a while, and their tone was still calm: "Mother was confused for a moment, please forgive me, Father."

This made Kangxi look at him with a higher regard. He thought that even after being treated like that by his mother, he could still beg for mercy. This kid was really too sentimental.

"You don't blame your mother?"

"I dare not. I have not grown up with my mother. My mother hates me, but I dare not be unfilial!"

After hearing these words, not only Kangxi was shocked, but Liang Jiugong who was waiting nearby also felt pity.

At the same time, another idea arose in Kangxi's mind.

After the conversation that day, Concubine De was under house arrest for two months. She was released at the request of the Fourteenth Prince, but her favor was not as high as before.

Tong Nuanyan, who had recovered well, was quietly taking care of her pregnancy in Piaoxue Courtyard, and from time to time she continued to cultivate relationships with her six children.

As August approached, preparations for the forty-fifth-year Mulan Hunt were completed.

The gate of Prince Yong's mansion was once again crowded with a group of beautiful ladies, all of whom came out to see Yinzhen off.

Tong Nuanyan was only four months pregnant and her belly was slightly visible, but it was not noticeable because she was wearing a loose Manchu dress.

The six children were all with Tong Nuanyan at this time. Compared with the three children of Concubine Li, Tong Nuanyan's children were obviously more enviable.

There was a small figure following Li, it was the seventh prince Hongshi, who was only one and a half years old and was very curious.

He was seen staring at Tong Nuanyan. Li wanted to make him look away but there was no way. So she just didn't bother with it since there were so many people around.

Yinzhen looked around and finally set his sights on Tong Nuanyan in front of him.

"Wait until I come back. You are pregnant now, so don't worry too much about housework. I will take you there next year."

He always knew that Tong Nuanyan wanted to go out. He had originally planned to take Yanyan and the children with him when the Emperor took the princes to hunt. But now that Yanyan was pregnant, she couldn't take her along.

On this trip, Yinzhen brought Honghui and Hongyun with him, but did not bring any concubines, so there were only two carriages and a group of guards.

"Okay, Master, don't worry. My pregnancy is being taken care of by Doctor Xu, so you can rest assured."

Doctor Xu is Yinzhen's confidant. Tong Nuanyan said this because she didn't want Yinzhen to go hunting and worry about her all the time who is far away in the capital.

Only then did Yinzhen turn his gaze to the rest of the people, but the tenderness in his eyes was not as deep as when he looked at Tong Nuanyan.

Li held her handkerchief tightly, but did not dare to reveal it at all at this moment, and the others felt very jealous.

Watching the team go away, Tong Nuanyan turned around to look at the others. The Fourth Lady was imprisoned, Yinzhen went to Mulan to hunt, and she was the one with the highest position in the entire palace.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Li a few more times. She still remembered how Li had plotted against her in the past!
