Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

One month after Kangxi's death, it was the new year, which was also the first year of Yinzhen's accession to the throne, known as the first year of Yongzheng.

During this month, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was repairing and renovating the palaces in the harem, and was also organizing the enthronement ceremony for the ladies in the imperial residence.

Yinzhen gave the order to hold the wedding in a grand manner. In addition, the original queen had passed away, and the most favored concubine was the daughter of Longkodo, a close minister.

No one wants to miss even a single point, and naturally no one dares to cut any corners.

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Led by Tong Nuanyan, with Li standing sideways, and behind them were Gengjia, Song, Zhang, Niuhulu, Uya and others.

Tong Nuanyan was wearing an elegant and gorgeous dark red auspicious dress embroidered with gold thread and a phoenix on the side. She had a pair of kingfisher feather hairpins on her head, amber court beads in front of her body, and two sets of red coral court beads slung across her shoulders. She looked very imposing and noble.

Li next to him was wearing a dark blue wedding dress embroidered with flowers and birds, a hairpin decorated with pearls and jade, and the same court beads. Because he had been under house arrest for a long time, his face looked haggard, and his eyes were indeed filled with some resentment. He stared closely at Tong Nuanyan, who was standing a little in front of him.

Why was Tong Jia a noble concubine while she was just a concubine? The Fourth Master was so heartless that he confined her to his room for several months and only called her out for the canonization ceremony.

Tong Nuanyan was naturally aware of the malicious gaze coming from behind her, but she didn't care much. What was there for her to be afraid of when she had neither power nor external help?

As for the people after Li, their attire was certainly not as formal as that of the first two, especially that of Niuhulu, who was only granted the title of Changzai. Her auspicious attire and hairpins were the simplest.

Now, Niuhulu was terrified by everything in front of her. She didn't know how she woke up and found herself as Prince Yong's princess, and even a concubine.

That’s right, Niuhulu is no longer the same Niuhulu as before. She is the real Niuhulu Wenrui, not the Xinzi who traveled through time.

The recycling mole that Tong Nuanyan had placed at the beginning completely worked. Not only was the palace fighting system gone, but even the people in the body were forced out.

For this enthronement ceremony, Yinzhen personally sent Su Peisheng, his most trusted person, to preside over it. This was a great honor and also indirectly showed how much he valued Tong Jia.

Su Peisheng opened the imperial edict in his hand with a serious face, looked at everyone kneeling on the ground, and said quickly: "My Lady Concubine, the Emperor said you don't have to kneel."

Tong Nuanyan was slightly surprised, but it would be best if she didn't have to kneel, so she stood at the front with peace of mind.

Li clenched her hands in agreement. The Fourth Master actually favored Tong Jia so much that he was reluctant to even kneel down!

Su Peisheng secretly observed the reactions of the others, and then read out the imperial edict:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I believe that the Way originates from Heaven and Earth, that the beginning of Heaven must rely on the completion of Heaven, that the transformation of the nation and the state must rely on the internal affairs, and that you should be given a high position as a concubine. I hereby appoint you as a noble concubine, give you the title of Shu, and grant you the residence of Yikun Palace. I decree this."

Su Peisheng handed the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand respectfully to Tong Nuanyan with a smile on his face.

Tong Nuanyan stroked the edict, her heart calm. Then she smiled and gestured to Qiuyu who was waiting in the distance to hand Su Peisheng a bulging purse.

"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Su. The emperor even asked you to come to such a grand ceremony of enthronement."

Su Peisheng couldn't stop smiling. He quickly took the purse, looked at the other concubines who were still kneeling waiting to be canonized, and waved his hand.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for my kindness. Your Highness values ​​you, so he ordered me to come here."

Tong Nuanyan was naturally pleased and turned to face the concubines with a smile.

"Your humble servant/concubine pays respects to the Imperial Concubine. May the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good health and good health!"

No matter what everyone was thinking, they all had to bow to Tong Nuanyan because of their status.

Li, who was squatting and kneeling, felt even more aggrieved, but she had no intention of confronting Tong Nuanyan now, as she had no prince.

Thinking of this, she thought of Geng Jia, who raised Hongshi, and was also made a concubine! If she didn't have her own son, why would she be made a concubine?

"All of you, get up. There is no queen in the palace. The emperor ordered me to take charge. I don't want any murder to happen in the harem. Those who violate the rules will be severely punished!"

Tong Nuanyan withdrew her gaze from Li and glanced around, seeing how calm everyone was at the moment.

"Your Highness, I will follow your instructions and keep them in mind."

Tong Nuanyan then stood there the whole time and watched the others receive the imperial edict one after another. After the enthronement ceremony was over, it was already dusk, even though the sun was shining brightly.

As soon as it was over, Tong Nuanyan hurriedly left the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a group of servants.

Now they no longer live in the mansion. The older children all live with the prince, except for the youngest twin brother and sister who are still being raised by his side.

Yikun Palace.

Both the layout and location are top-notch, and even the name implies assisting the queen in managing the harem. In the entire harem, apart from the queen's Kunning Palace, the best are the Yiku Palace and Chengqian Palace.

Now that the Imperial Household Department has been slightly renovated and a few red camellia trees have been planted, plus many things purchased by Yinzhen himself, it can be said to be a golden house.

Tong Nuanyan came back with her people. Yinzhen, who was waiting inside and wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, came out with two children, and there were six chubby guys behind him.

She always felt that this scene was indescribably strange, as if the roles were reversed. When she came back from court, Yinzhen was waiting for her in the palace as his beloved concubine.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty..."

Before she could squat down, Yinzhen came up to help her up, patted her hands, and said with a smile:

"Yanyan, you don't have to bow to anyone. Come."

Yinzhen then picked up Jingxuan. The two-year-old Jingxuan was wearing a tender pink dress and wrapped her arms tightly around Yinzhen's neck.

"Ama, Ama, I want to fly."

The smile on Yinzhen's face became even wider. He threw his hands up, slightly lifted Jingxuan up and caught her again, while walking back into the house.

Tong Nuanyan shook her head with amusement and looked at Hongmin who was still there, and the other six children.

"Let's go in too. Your Ama is happy today."

As she spoke, she let the two-year-old Hongmin ride on her shoulders and picked up the six-year-old Jiaoyue and Hongyan in her arms. The other four children also happily surrounded their mother.

"Mother, Father called us here early today..."

"Mother, can't we really live with you? If Ama doesn't come back for us..."

"Mother, Aunt Jiying taught us a lot of things, but I don't understand some of them. Can you tell me about it tonight?"

Listening to the children talking to her one after another, Tong Nuanyan really felt that this was the distress of happiness, right?

The person behind him had already gotten used to the way his master raised children over the past few years, and had no reaction to Tong Nuanyan's behavior.

On the contrary, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the palace maids and eunuchs assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were extremely shocked, seeing the calm performance of others who had served the imperial concubine for a longer time.

I praised her in my heart, saying that she was worthy of being the follower of the most favored and the one who gave birth to the most children, and she was calmer than myself.

The Imperial Concubine was able to give birth to so many children, probably because of this kind of divine power. They must remember it.

Tong Nuanyan had no idea how much shock her act of holding the baby had brought to the palace maids. From then on, she would always see the little palace maids doing strenuous work, under the pretext of exercising their strength to give birth to babies.
