Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

On the evening of the Fourth Lady's birthday, Yinzhen went to the main courtyard to have dinner and spend the night as usual.

As for Li, it was not known whether Yinzhen had noticed anything, but he had not visited her for more than a month. Yinzhen seldom went to the backyard. He only visited the Fourth Lady on the first and fifteenth days of the month, and spent the rest of the days staying overnight with the two pregnant women, Tong Nuanyan and Su.

Piaoxueyuan was the place most often visited for dinner. Li had no choice but to let Yinzhen go there a few times on the pretext that Hongyun missed his father, but he always left after sitting for a while.

Fallen Plum Courtyard.

Because it was the Fourth Lady's birthday, Li, who was dressed very delicately, sat in front of the dressing table. Her personal maid Dongying helped her remove the ornaments on her head. Seeing Li Qinya's silent expression, Dongying said carefully: "Madam, today is the Lady's birthday, and the prince also went according to the rules. Don't be angry."

Listening to Dongying's words, Li Qinya's mood did not improve. She said in a muffled voice: "This birthday is a rule. The Fourth Master hasn't come to my place to spend the night for a month. Is this also a rule?"

Dongying didn't know how to answer this, so she could only comfort him by saying, "Maybe the prince is busy with official duties, and hasn't the prince visited other princesses' rooms?" The other princesses he mentioned naturally did not include the pregnant Su, whom Yinzhen had visited several times.

"Other princesses? That bitch Su took advantage of her pregnancy and shamelessly seduced the Fourth Master to her courtyard. Tong Jia is not a good person either. I gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the Fourth Master, and Hongyu died young. She only became a concubine now. She took advantage of her family background and was granted marriage by the Emperor, and she came in as a concubine. Why?" As she spoke, Li Qinya's face was ferocious, full of jealousy and resentment.

Dongying felt very distressed when she saw Li Qinya, who was a little crazy at the moment. Fortunately, she and Concubine were the only ones in the room, and no one saw Concubine losing her composure like this. "Concubine, Concubine Tong just has a good father, so Lord Beile favors her a few more times. It's also because she is good at conceiving, and she got pregnant immediately after a few times."

"Yes, a good father and a good family background are enough to make me far behind. It's my fault that I don't have a good family background and a good father." Li Qinya said, the crazy look on her face disappeared, and she let the tears flow.

"Concubine, please don't be like this. Be careful not to hurt yourself by crying. You still have the little prince to rely on." Dongying quickly brought up Hongyun. Every time Li Qinya was feeling sorry for herself, only Prince Hongyun could be used to divert her attention.

Sure enough, when Li Qinya heard about the little prince, her fighting spirit was rekindled in her eyes. She still had Hongyun. As long as Hongyun was there, her favor would still be there! No one could take away this favor, she would not allow it! Thinking of this, Li Qinya's eyes flashed with resentment again. She couldn't move Tong Nuanyan, but she could still move Su!

On this day, the Fourth Lady arranged midwives for Tong Nuanyan and Su according to the rules, saying that the two were only one month apart in pregnancy, so it would be better to arrange them together. Tong Nuanyan didn't care about this. Anyway, she would not use the people arranged by the Fourth Lady. So she wrote a letter to Longkodo to send in two maids. Together with the nanny robot Xia Xi, it would be enough, and there was no need to worry about the safety of delivery.

Su happily went to the front yard to express her gratitude. Although she didn't dare to gossip anymore, she still acted like a smug person to everyone except Tong Nuanyan, and she wished that even the dogs passing by would know her smugness.

Snow Courtyard.

In May, many flowers were planted in the courtyard, among which the most gorgeous was the peony, which was as beautiful as a jade and fragrant as a pearl. Tong Nuanyan really liked this flower, and she would sneak out in the middle of the night to infuse two of the white peonies of the fragrant jade variety with a little supernatural power, making the two peonies bloom very plumply and much larger than other peonies.

At first, everyone thought it was a different species with a larger bud, but later, they couldn't help it. On the day when Xiangyu blossomed, the whole Piaoxue Courtyard was filled with the fragrance of peony flowers, which was fresh and elegant, very refreshing. Later, they found that the flower was as big as a wooden basin. Just when everyone was panicking and thought that the flower was going to become a spirit, they were scared to death.

Tong Nuanyan came out helplessly to clarify that the flower bloomed so beautifully because there was enough fertilizer in the land. It was just an ordinary flower and there was no sign of it being a spirit.

Look, now that the flowers are in bloom, Yinzhen, who is busy with government affairs, has come to admire them.

Amidst a sea of ​​flowers, two snow-white peonies were pure and elegant, attracting everyone's attention. No other colorful flowers could be seen.

"The most beautiful woman in the world is Xi Shi, and the most beautiful flower is the peony." Yinzhen started with a line from Bai Juyi's poem, and it was obvious that he liked these two flowers very much. Tong Nuanyan smiled, but did not answer.

Yinzhen hadn't heard Tong Nuanyan's voice for a long time, so he turned around to look at her. Unexpectedly, the sight of the beauty and flowers in front of him was even more beautiful. For a moment, he didn't know whether the flowers were more beautiful or the person was more beautiful.

"She is as pretty as a peach in spring, and as pure as a chrysanthemum in autumn. Yanyan is beautiful, and I think she should be as pure as a fragrant jade in late spring, absolutely flawless." Yinzhen looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes full of amazement, and his words were sweet.

Tong Nuanyan pretended to be shy, pulled Yinzhen's sleeve with her hand, and said angrily: "Fourth Master, there are servants all around here, and it makes people uncomfortable to be praised."

Looking at Tong Nuanyan's shy appearance, Yinzhen seemed surprised. Usually it was Tong Nuanyan who spoke boldly and he himself felt ashamed. But now it was the other way around. He signaled Su Peisheng to take people away with a look and took her into his arms.

"I didn't expect Yanyan would be so shy. How do you think I should be punished?" Yinzhen stared at her with his affectionate almond-shaped eyes, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

His pair of phoenix eyes seemed very cold when he was usually dignified, but as long as he smiled, he made people feel particularly affectionate. With eyes like these, if you were not self-satisfied, you would think that you were his favorite.

Tong Nuanyan looked into his eyes with a smile, trying hard to ignore the fast and slow beating of her heart. She leaned close to Yinzhen's ear and whispered a few words, which made Yinzhen's ears turn red and a little annoyed.

"What does Yinzhen think of this punishment?" Tong Nuanyan looked at his red ears with a smile, feeling very proud in her heart, as she had finally turned the tables!

Yinzhen saw her smug smile and knew he was being fooled. He didn't care about being embarrassed and said lightly, "Okay, I'm waiting for this punishment. When does Yanyan plan to punish me?"

This is bad. Tong Nuanyan never thought that Yinzhen would actually agree to this shameful punishment. If she helped him, wouldn't she be implicated as well? Tong Nuanyan's smile was a little stiff:

"Yinzhen, how about I change one now? You see, I'm more than seven months pregnant, it's really inconvenient." It was the first time that Tong Nuanyan felt what it felt like to shoot herself in the foot. She could only say that she regretted it!

"Then, we can do this... It's also OK." Yinzhen said that he hadn't had meat for almost two months, and since Tong Nuanyan was teasing him like this, he should at least have a side dish, right?

"Wait until Yanyan gives birth to the baby, and then punish me slowly?" Yinzhen asked, but his tone was unquestionable.

When she woke up the next day, Tong Nuanyan was almost unable to speak, her hands were very tired, and she felt extremely regretful.
