Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

Of the two fragrant jade peonies in Piaoxue Courtyard, Yinzhen eventually sent people to dig up one, saying that he would present it to Kangxi. At this time, Yinzhen still hoped that Kangxi could see his son. Although he claimed to be the most idle person, he never made any mistakes in his work.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

When the ministers in the hall saw Kangxi coming, they hurriedly bowed, as if they had trained in advance, and shouted "Long live the emperor" in unison. Liang Jiugong, the chief eunuch beside Kangxi, stood in the corner, bowed slightly, and avoided the ministers' bowing.

"Please stand up. It is June now and the whole Qing Dynasty is suffering from floods. After a few days of discussion, do you have any good ideas?" Kangxi sat on the dragon throne, looking down at his ministers with an unreadable expression.

There was total silence in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. No one dared to come out to talk. When the Minister of Revenue Chen Yanjing saw that no one came out, he snorted coldly and came out to shout, "Your servant Chen Yanjing has something to report."

"allow."

"Your Majesty, the disaster situation is unpredictable now. The silver in the national treasury is being transported to the disaster area in waves, but not a penny is available to replenish the damage. I beg you to go to the wealthy areas to raise funds for disaster relief!" After Chen Yanjing finished speaking, he knelt on the ground.

"The treasury has no money? Disasters require money, food requires money. Now that crisis has come, the treasury has no money. Where did the money go?" Kangxi's low voice came, calm but with the pressure of an emperor.

For a moment, all the officials knelt on the ground like Chen Yanjing, and cold sweat dripped onto the ground on the faces of the timid officials.

"Then tell me, how can we solve the problem of silver now?" Kangxi asked the ministers below, suppressing his anger, as if he would go crazy and kill someone in the next moment.

No one dared to speak, and they all knelt on the ground. Chen Yanjing pleaded again: "Your Majesty, please allow me to go and collect donations!"

"Prince, what do you think?" Kangxi looked at Yinreng who was standing aside and asked.

The prince was stunned for a moment, then after quick thinking, he replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that Mr. Chen's proposal is reasonable, but it is only a drop in the bucket! Therefore, I think we should start with the officials. I believe that everyone will be happy to donate to the disaster area!"

After the prince finished his long speech, some officials flattered Kangxi and said they were willing, while most of them had stiff expressions and were dissatisfied with the prince in their hearts.

Kangxi looked down and weighed the options in his heart before saying, "If there is no better way, we will do as the prince says. In addition, Chen Yanjing and Zhang Tingyu will escort the grain to the disaster area!"

Yinzhen looked at the crown prince's smug face and Kangxi's somewhat gloomy expression, and knew that his chance had come: "Father, I have something to report! It can solve this crisis!"

"Oh? Tell me quickly!" Kangxi looked at Yinzhen who was confident, and confidence suddenly surged in his heart.

"My Lord Father! At the beginning of the year, you asked me to be responsible for cooperating with the cotton clothing factory outside Beijing. Now it is summer, and the profits of the cotton clothing factory have been calculated, a full eight million taels of silver!" Yinzhen narrated in an orderly manner, and the figures he said directly shocked all the ministers.

"Eight million? In just half a year?"

"Is it the factory in the suburbs of Beijing that has just been open for half a year? How can it have such a huge profit?"

"Fourth Prince, are you trying to ease the situation by coming to frame us?"

A group of ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were talking at once, completely forgetting that Kangxi was sitting above them, and repeatedly questioned the profits reported by Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, this is the account book that I compiled. The profits and losses are all on it. If you take all of them out, it will be worth 10 million taels!" Yinzhen took out a memorial from the sleeve of his court robe and handed it to Liang Jiugong who walked forward. What he said shocked everyone again.

"That's right, the net profit is 10 million taels. Then as you said, take out 8 million from it and use it for disaster relief. The prince will be in charge, and you will assist, with Chen Yanjing and Zhang Tingyu helping. How about it?" Kangxi still had selfish motives. At this time, he loved Yinreng in his heart. Although this matter had nothing to do with the prince, he still gave him the position of backbone.

"Your son obeys your command! Assisting the prince is my son's duty!" Yinzhen ignored the uncomfortable feeling in his heart and said words against his will!

"Okay! After the disaster is dealt with, Yinzhen will be promoted to a prince! Hahahahaha! They are all good princes of the Aisin-Gioro family!" Kangxi laughed out loud. He didn't make Yinzhen a prince last time he dealt with corruption, but this time he solved a big problem again and gave the backbone to Yinreng. The title of a prince was used to make up for it!

"Your humble servant thanks His Majesty Father!" The Crown Prince, Yinzhen and the two adults knelt down and accepted their assignments.

a few days later.

At the beginning of June in the 39th year of the Kangxi reign, Tong Nuanyan, who was eight months pregnant, was lazily lying on a lounge chair in the yard. Yun Xin and Qiu Yu were massaging her and feeding her fruit. The fruit was from the fruit supermarket that had refreshed the mall in June. The fruit could not be used to open a store and could only be used by the customer.

['Fruit Supermarket' from the Andromeda Galaxy: a beautiful and dazzling emerald ring.

1. A must-have for all Andromeda Galaxy residents!

2. Just put in a little energy to exchange for fruit!

3. It cannot be used as a store, this is a personal property! 】

You only need to transfer supernatural powers into the ring every day to eat a lot of fruits. As for the source of the fruits, all the servants in Piaoxueyuan have been injected with potions and are loyal to Tong Nuanyan, so they will naturally say that they were transported from a farm in the suburbs of Beijing. Anyway, the farm does send a batch of sanitary napkins every once in a while, and no one knows what is put in them.

Tong Nuanyan sighed comfortably. This day was so comfortable. The only problem was that the watermelon was not chilled. Qiuyu refused to chill it, saying that it was for the sake of the baby in her belly.

"Qiuyu, has anything happened in the institute recently?" Tong Nuanyan asked while eating the watermelon fed by Yunxin.

"Concubine, the weather has been getting hotter recently, and the princesses and concubines rarely go out. But Princess Su often visits Concubine and stays there for the entire afternoon." Qiuyu thought carefully about what had happened in the past few days. Only Princess Su had gone out.

"Is it Su who's going out? She's also seven months pregnant, right? Her belly looks as big as mine at eight months." Tong Nuanyan said, knowing in her heart that it was because of the supplements.

"Xia Xi! What's going on in Luomeiyuan recently?" Tong Nuanyan called out Xia Xi who was invisible in the corner and asked.

"Master, Luomeiyuan has placed a midwife in Su's place!" Xia Xi said without any sadness or joy, and answered with an electronic sound.

Yunxin and Qiuyu looked at this elusive wet nurse with curiosity. Xia Xi seemed to be non-existent at ordinary times, but she would appear instantly when the concubine called her.

"Oh? Midwife? Her plan is about to collide with Fu Jin's. One wants to kill the mother and keep the child, and the other wants to kill two children with one corpse! I wonder who will win?" Tong Nuanyan smiled, feeling that this matter was becoming more and more interesting.

"Master, I don't think so. The midwife arranged by Li is from the Ulanara family!" Xia Xi replied, and told a secret that no one could guess!

"Someone from the Ulanara clan? Does the lady know about it?" Tong Nuanyan was shocked. Why would Li employ someone from the Ulanara clan?

"I have investigated, but I don't know yet. The true face of Su will only be revealed on the day she gives birth! Master, there is one more thing. Some time ago, the midwives and wet nurses sent by the concubine had some shameful powder on them. Do you want me to..."

As Xia Xi spoke, he made a spatula motion with his hand on his neck, making it clear what he meant at a glance!

"No need, during the days before the due date, you can hypnotize them and let them sleep for a few days!" Tong Nuanyan shook her head. Since she couldn't find any fault now, she couldn't just kill people.

Yunxin and Qiuyu listened quietly beside them, their hands movements became gentler, but their hearts were calm.
