Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

After the banquet in the front yard was over, Tong Nuanyan asked Qiuyu to direct the other palace maids to clean up the mess, while she carried Hongzhao back to Piaoxue Courtyard. Hongzhao slept soundly all the way, and it was an hour later when he woke up.

Tong Nuanyan sat on the couch, with Yun Xin, who looked distressed, massaging his shoulders behind him. "Concubine, there are too many things to do today, and I am scared just looking at you."

Tong Nuanyan knew that she was talking about the guests, but she herself was not too worried: "What are you afraid of? For today's banquet, these are all trivial matters. Not to mention the Eighth Lady's family, even if the Eighth Prince is unhappy with me, he will have to endure it. I, Tong Jia, am called Tong Banchao for no reason. They still have to consider their own connections."

In addition, everyone knew that Yinzhen and the Eighth Prince had a bad relationship, and today it was the Eighth Prince who suddenly provoked him. Could it be that she could be blamed? Not to mention that the Eighth Prince's mother was of humble origin. Although she was favored by Kangxi, she was not made a concubine until more than ten years after giving birth to the Eighth Prince because of her birth, and she lived under the nose of Concubine Hui.

The Eighth Prince was also quite favored by Kangxi. At the age of 17, he was conferred the title of Prince together with Yinzhen, Yinqi and other princes. However, his biggest problem was also obvious, that is, his birth. Therefore, no matter how much Kangxi loved Liangpin, he made her a noble concubine for more than ten years before conferring the title of concubine.

Yun Xin seemed to understand, but could only continue to press her shoulders in silence. She didn't understand these things, but she just had to listen to Concubine Concubine. Then, as if she remembered something, she said, "Concubine Concubine, Concubine Concubine has been under house arrest for a month. I heard that she needs to change a batch of tea sets every few days."

Tong Nuanyan smiled and said, "Ulanara is unwilling to accept this. Her plan failed and the Fourth Master suspected her true identity. Even if she is confined, her control and prestige over the backyard will be reduced by half. How can she accept this situation?"

Tong Nuanyan reached out and used the golden fork to pick up a piece of watermelon and put it into her mouth, enjoying Yun Xin's massage very comfortably. Yun Xin listened to her words and disliked the Fourth Lady from the bottom of her heart, and even wished that she would be grounded forever.

"By the way, how is Honghui? Ulanara is under house arrest, so how is he, a three-year-old child, doing?" Tong Nuanyan thought of the child again. Maybe he was very well protected by his mother. When she saw him before, she ordered the nanny to carry him back after walking for a while. She had a very ordinary impression of him.

Yun Xin couldn't answer. She had never paid attention to the other children of the prince. In her mind, it would be better to pay attention to Prince Hong Zhao. As soon as Qiu Yu came in, she saw her tangled face and quickly answered:

"Concubine, I heard from the sisters in the kitchen that the nanny beside Prince Honghui often told her," Qiuyu looked at Tong Nuanyan hesitantly, and continued when she saw that she had no reaction.

"They said that it was you, Concubine, that prevented the mother and son from meeting each other, and that the prince would not like them as long as you were around." Qiuyu was very worried when she heard it at first, but Concubine did not mention these two people, so she did not want to bring up this troublesome matter.

Tong Nuanyan was about to say something when she heard Hong Zhao babbling from the other side of the bed. She had no choice but to ask Yun Xin to pick Hong Zhao up. Then she looked at Yun Xin's back and said, "Qiu Yu, are you sure these are true? Don't let others use you as a knife."

Qiu Yu thought about it carefully again and felt that this was impossible: "Concubine, my sister grew up with me since childhood and would never deceive me with this matter."

"Xia Xi." As soon as Tong Nuanyan spoke, a dark shadow quickly rushed in from the doorway. Qiu Yu was watching from the side in amazement. Although it was not the first time that she knew that Xia Xi's skills were extraordinary, she was still surprised every time she saw it.

"Master. Do you want me to go to the front yard and keep an eye on that nanny?" Xia Xi, the bionic man, has an amazing control over Piaoxue Courtyard. When Tong Nuanyan knew her ability, she thought that if it was an enemy, she would have to bleed heavily. Fortunately, Xia Xi, the bionic man, is absolutely loyal to her. With such a great help, it is as easy as a fish in water.

"Well, don't let anyone find you. Observe for a few days to see if it's true." Tong Nuanyan took Hong Zhao from Yun Xin's arms, gently coaxed him who had just woken up and was crying, while giving orders to Xia Xi.

A few days later, the news brought by Xia Xi confirmed the rumor. The nanny beside Honghui was indeed teaching him to hate Tong Nuanyan. And Tong Nuanyan didn't even need to tell Yinzhen about this in person, because someone had already complained to him first.

And that person was Wuya Xiruo, whom I met in Yonghe Palace ten days ago.

"Concubine, I heard that you have seen this Princess Uya. I wonder if she is beautiful?" Because the Fourth Lady was under house arrest for half a year, Tong Nuanyan became the housekeeper of the backyard. These princesses often came to pay their respects to her. When they heard that Yinzhen was going to marry a princess, they couldn't sit still.

The one who asked the question was Zhang Gege, who was not very favored. She had always been ostentatious and loved beauty, but contrary to her usual style, she wore simple and elegant clothes and spent a lot of effort on her makeup. If you look closely, you can see that her makeup is very similar to that of Liang Yue, Liang's concubine.

"Uya Gege is a distant relative of Concubine De, and she is also a beautiful woman with an elegant and graceful appearance." She naturally had a deep impression of this woman whom Concubine De wanted her to bring back, but she did not expect that this time Concubine De introduced her to be brought back when Yinzhen went to pay his respects. She did not know specifically how she convinced Yinzhen.

“The beauty praised so highly by the concubine must be very good. Concubine Liang, your current favor will soon be divided by others. Others will be princesses as soon as they come, but you, after being favored for a long time, are still a concubine.” Princess Zhang couldn’t stand Concubine Liang’s pitiful look, as if she was bullied by others.

Sure enough, Concubine Liang was about to cry, with tears on her face, and said pitifully: "If, if Uya Gege enters the backyard, I won't be able to see the Fourth Master anymore, Zhang Gege, I hope you can help me."

Tong Nuanyan listened silently. This concubine Liang had not been seen for a few months and had changed drastically. No one knew whether it was her nature or if she had been stimulated by something. She looked pitiful and mocked others.

"Liang! How dare you mock me?" After saying that, Zhang Gege wanted to raise her hand to slap him, but Qiuyu grabbed her arm.

"Alright! Piaoxue Courtyard is not the place for you to make a scene. Uya Gege will move into the backyard tomorrow. This concubine has already decided where to go. Uya Gege will live in Liang Shiqi's Tingyu Courtyard. No one lives in your front room yet."

Actually, Tingyu Courtyard is of average size, with only three rooms in total. The smallest one is for servants, and the other two are slightly larger than Su's house. In addition to the bedroom, there is also a relatively large space for a round table. It is said that the more favored you are, the better the treatment, but it also depends on the family background and the position obtained in the early stage. Otherwise, why are there so many people who care about their origins?

Concubine Liang wiped the tears from her face and accepted it in silence, only expressing her protest by tightly clenching her handkerchief.
