Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

A few days later, at the end of June, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. No matter how many ice basins were placed in the house, they could not cover the hot temperature. The palace maids seemed to have been fished out of the water, all wet.

"How come this weather is even hotter than last year's summer heat? It's unbearable."

In the main courtyard where the Fourth Lady was, everyone came to pay their respects to her. Zhang Gege wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and talked to everyone about the hot weather.

"I don't know about that. In previous years, I found an icy food on the farm that was very helpful in cooling down the body. But now that I'm pregnant, I can't eat ice anymore." Tong Nuanyan's abilities were becoming more and more advanced, and she could already maintain a constant temperature, so she didn't sweat much.

The Fourth Lady is in high spirits now. Li has been under house arrest these days, Su was disliked by the Fourth Master for drinking an oxytocin drug, and even Tong Nuanyan, who was like a thorn in her eyes, rarely hangs out. She is so happy. It would be even better if Tong Nuanyan was like Su.

Thinking of this, the Fourth Lady couldn't help but laugh in front of everyone. The sharp-eyed Zhang Gege immediately asked, "Father? What good idea did you come up with that made you so happy? Can you tell me?"

"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about whether Concubine's method is good or not. How about Concubine find one for us?" The Fourth Lady restrained her smile and turned to Tong Nuanyan.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her expectantly, Tong Nuanyan smiled slightly: "Why bother with so much trouble, Yunxin, go to the kitchen and give the instructions." It was impossible to ask her to lower her status and do it herself, so she just gave a few instructions.

The Fourth Lady looked at them and didn't know what to say, so she just drank tea and chatted with everyone to pass the time.

A quarter of an hour later.

Yun Xin came back with a few maids, holding a few bowls of smoothies with some seasonal fresh fruits added on top. Although there was not much fruit in each serving, just a few pieces, it looked good.

"Fujin, this is the food I was talking about - smoothie. You can all try it. It's very refreshing." Tong Nuanyan smiled and asked the maids to distribute it. She sat in her seat without moving.

The fourth lady observed carefully, and after a long while she picked up the porcelain spoon and scooped a spoonful, slowly put it into her mouth, and immediately shivered from the cold: "This smoothie is really good. After eating it, I don't feel hot anymore, but a little cold instead."

Tong Nuanyan looked at the Fourth Lady in surprise and said, "Lady, it seems that you can't eat too much of this smoothie. If you feel cold after eating it in the hot summer, it's because your body is cold. Eating too much is not good for your body."

Hearing this, everyone who was eating smoothies stopped eating and put them down one by one. Zhang Gege was the first one who couldn't sit still. She had a cold body and had been unable to get pregnant for several years after entering the mansion. In addition to not being favored, it was also because of her cold body that made it difficult for her to conceive.

"Concubine, did you do this on purpose?" Zhang Gege looked unhappy and started yelling regardless of anything.

Tong Nuanyan glanced at her and said indifferently: "Zhang Gege, this smoothie is good for cooling off, but I didn't force you to eat it, right? As for the cold body, I also said that it will be fine if you eat less."

Zhang Gege was speechless and could only look to the Fourth Lady for help. Unfortunately, the Fourth Lady's face was not looking good either. She pretended not to see her eyes. Seeing that everyone was absent-minded, she simply dismissed the greetings and went straight back to her room.

On the way back, I passed by a small garden and saw a few people acting suspiciously.

Tong Nuanyan asked 805 curiously: "805, who are those people in the garden?"

[Host, the information obtained from the scan is that the person is from Su Gege's side courtyard.] 805 obviously didn't know much, he only got the basic identity information, and he didn't know the rest.

"Yunxin, go ask those people what they are doing in the garden?" She had no choice but to ask Yunxin to go and ask. She found a shady place here to wait so that she wouldn't be exposed to the sun.

After a while, Yun Xin came back: "Concubine, these people are from Su Gege's courtyard. They were ordered to pray for the young prince's soul to be reborn here, and they are preparing to burn paper."

"The palace does not allow private salvation. Gege Su acted on impulse. These people don't understand?" Tong Nuanyan was curious about their train of thought. Gege Su didn't take good care of herself after giving birth, but was so bold as to perform a salvation in broad daylight.

"They said that Su Gege must be liberated and they dare not disobey orders." Yun Xin said this, feeling resentful in her heart. Who could be so fearless as to privately liberate Su Gege in broad daylight?

"Forget it, let's go. There are too many people here and it's only a matter of time before someone reports us to the Fourth Master." Tong Nuanyan said, and she noticed that there were a few princesses in the corner who had just come from the main courtyard. They would not miss the opportunity to put down Princess Su.

The due date is almost here these days, and I’m almost nine months pregnant.

As expected, in the afternoon, news came that Zhang Gege had reported Su Gege for performing a private ritual to liberate the souls of the dead. Su Gege was put under house arrest for three months, and Zhang Gege was also put under house arrest for a month because of this incident. Zhang Gege never thought that after reporting someone, she would also be implicated.

Tong Nuanyan was leisurely eating watermelon in Piaoxue Courtyard, listening to the interesting stories that Yun Xin had heard, and was very happy.

As soon as Yinzhen, who was outside, entered the courtyard, he saw this scene.

The pretty jasmine flowers in bloom were scattered around, with their small petals scattered on the edge of Tong Nuanyan's skirt. With the pink and bright red flowers next to them as a backdrop, she looked particularly delicate and beautiful. It was roughly the case that people were more delicate than flowers.

"Her fragrance is sweet, her skin is tender, her cheeks are more beautiful than flowers, her fingers are like peeled onion roots, and her mouth is like red cinnabar. Her every frown and smile is captivating." As soon as he opened his mouth, Yinzhen spoke like a poem. This is worthy of such a beautiful scene.

"Greetings, Lord Prince. Why does Yinzhen start praising me right away? I feel embarrassed." Tong Nuanyan stood up and saluted with a smile, but was stopped by Yinzhen. She did not salute and had to talk about other things.

"This is the truth. Yanyan is so beautiful that she can be praised in any poem!" Yinzhen carefully protected Tong Nuanyan's belly and helped her into the inner room step by step.

"Yinzhen is always coaxing me. My figure has changed during pregnancy. What if I want to develop yellow spots like ordinary pregnant women? " Tong Nuanyan couldn't help but want to tease him, but also wanted to know how he would answer.

"How could that be? My beauty is so stunning that she can captivate the whole country. And don't I look at appearance first?" Yinzhen said as he gently turned Tong Nuanyan to face him and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"My Yanyan is beautiful no matter what, and I like her." Yinzhen let her lean into his arms, and he was firm in his heart and repeated this sentence silently several times.

"I believe in you, Master." Tong Nuanyan said, rubbing her little face gently against Yinzhen's hard chest. She just didn't believe what he said, and she wouldn't take Yinzhen's words seriously, but she had to remember it, just in case she needed it someday.

After bathing and finishing their dinner, they took a walk in the yard together to digest the food, with their hands gently clasped together, as if Tong Nuanyan was the only one in the entire backyard at this moment.

"Yinzhen, who do you think the child will look like when he is born?" It was rare for the two of them to be like this, and Tong Nuanyan was the first to break the silence and asked.

"It doesn't matter who she looks like. If I give birth to a princess who looks like Yanyan, I will definitely treat her like a treasure, the apple of my eye."

"Will it not hurt if it's a prince?" Tong Nuanyan said depressedly. A few days ago she was talking about giving birth to a prince, but now she is fantasizing about the appearance of a princess. What a changeable person!

"How could that be? I love all the princes and princesses. They are all my children." Yinzhen said helplessly and once again took the little hand that had been freed.

"Hiss!" My stomach suddenly started to hurt. Is I about to give birth?

"Yanyan! How are you?" Yinzhen also became anxious, but he did not think of delivery, but thought it was a miscarriage.

"I, hiss, Yinzhen, I'm about to give birth! Call someone quickly." My stomach ached slightly, and my hips began to feel like they were being torn apart, with the pain coming on and off.

"Someone come here, the concubine is about to give birth! Get someone ready!" After shouting, Yinzhen picked her up horizontally and rushed into the bedroom.

"Lord Prince, the delivery room is unlucky, you should go out first!" Xia Xi and Yun Xin who came over advised.
