Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

The end of July in the thirty-ninth year of the Kangxi reign.

On an ordinary and sunny day, a crimson sedan quietly entered the prince's residence.

A pretty girl in the sedan quietly opened the curtain, and watched herself enter the Fourth Prince's backyard so peacefully. Her inner ambition burned fiercely. She thought in her heart that one day she would be successful here and become the most favored woman in the Fourth Prince's backyard!

Not to mention that there was no splash when Uya entered the backyard, Tong Nuanyan at the Piaoxue Courtyard was holding Hongzhao in her arms and looking at the two uninvited guests in front of her.

"Why did Zhang Gege and Su Gege come to Piaoxue Courtyard?" Tong Nuanyan thought to herself, this must be related to Uya's entry into the backyard today, otherwise these two people would not come here in such a group.

Zhang Gege's words were full of sourness as soon as she opened her mouth: "Concubine, that Wuya Gege is the niece of Concubine De. That's what you said the other day, right? What if the Fourth Master likes this distant cousin of his very much?"

As she spoke, Zhang Gege nudged Su, who was silent beside her. Ever since she lost her son and fell out of favor, she had been staying in the yard all day long and not seeing anyone. No one knew how Zhang Gege had persuaded her to come over.

Su coughed a few times in a pretentious manner and said softly, "Concubine, you are also aware of my current position in this mansion. If Uya Gege gains power, I will have no place at all."

Seeing that Tong Nuanyan was still sitting on the couch teasing Hongzhao and didn't care about what she said, she sobbed again: "Concubine, now that the main wife is under house arrest, the only one who can manage the backyard is the concubine. Uya Gege was so high-profile that the Fourth Master made an exception and took her as a Gege. Are you really going to let her be so proud?"

Zhang Gege, who was watching her rant, was particularly happy. She didn't even need to be the bad guy, she just needed to agree with her. If Uya Gege became favored, she would have even less favor and status.

Tong Nuanyan looked up at them. Such low-level thoughts were too obvious. There were very few people who used their real names to trip up others these days, but there were two of them in Yinzhen's place.

She looked at them expectantly and then said, "Uya Gege has just entered the palace and has not done anything wrong. What reason does this concubine have to punish others? Or are you planning to kill two birds with one stone?"

In an instant, Zhang and Su knelt down in panic: "Concubine, I really didn't mean that. It's just that I can't stand this kind of seductive woman who seduces the Fourth Master."

Zhang Gege thought quickly and anxiously stated her reasons, but Tong Nuanyan naturally would not believe such nonsense. Zhang Gege was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. She was domineering in front of others, but as soon as it was her turn to be punished, she would start to be submissive.

"The Fourth Master knows how Uya Gege gained his favor, instead of making trouble here. Each of them will be fined one month's salary, and this will not happen again!" Tong Nuanyan did not want to listen to the two people's explanations anymore. As for Uya Gege, her identity meant that she would not receive too much favor, so just let her be a transparent person.

"Yes." Zhang Gege and Su Gege accepted the punishment reluctantly. They didn't understand why the concubine had no sense of crisis, and they didn't know how much Yinzhen resisted Uya's identity.

Seeing the two men leaving in a hurry, Qiuyu asked tentatively: "Concubine, what about Princess Uya?" In her heart, she agreed with what the two men said. Princess Uya was indeed too high-profile.

"As for the Uya clan, we should follow the rules. No need to be too harsh or too lenient. She is not worth anything." After saying that, Tong Nuanyan stopped thinking about it. It was destined to happen. Why should she be a bad person?

Night was the first good day for Wu Ya to enter the backyard. She had met the cowardly Liang concubine in Tingyu Courtyard a long time ago. She was not very pretty, and was about the same as her, both of them looked like weak beauties. This made Wu Ya more confident that she would be favored. If the Fourth Prince liked this type, her chances would be greater.

Yinzhen was a little tired after a day's work, and said that he would promote himself to the rank of prince after solving the disaster relief problem. This task was assigned as early as mid-July, but the emperor father delayed promoting his title. Instead, he praised the prince for his efficient work in the court.

Such things were suffocating for him. He could not question why the promise was not fulfilled, nor could he complain why the prince could still receive the greatest praise when he was not the main force. He understood that it was because he was the prince, just because he was the prince.

"Su Peisheng, go to Piaoxueyuan." Whenever he felt upset, he would feel relaxed as long as he thought of Yanyan. With Yanyan by his side, he didn't have to think about these troubles all the time.

"My Lord, today is the day that Princess Uya enters the backyard." Su Peisheng reminded carefully. According to the rules, he should stay with Princess Uya for three days. All the women in the backyard, even concubines, will be favored on the first day they enter the backyard.

"Did Uya enter the backyard today?" Yinzhen asked with a frown. He only promised to give Uya a position because of Concubine De. He had the final say on when to favor her!

"Go to Piaoxue Courtyard!" After saying that, he got up and walked out of the study, heading straight towards Piaoxue Courtyard, ignoring Su Peisheng who was following him.

Tong Nuanyan from Piaoxue Courtyard was coaxing Hongzhao to sleep at the moment. She had no idea that Yinzhen, who was supposed to go to Tingyu Courtyard, would come here, so she turned off the lights early and went to bed with Hongzhao.

When Yinzhen didn't come to Piaoxueyuan, Tong Nuan would personally put Hongzhao to bed, so as to cultivate the relationship between them as mother and son.

When Yinzhen arrived, he saw the pitch-black Piaoxue Courtyard. After groping his way into the bedroom, he went straight to the bed and hugged Tong Nuanyan's waist: "Yanyan, it's me."

Tong Nuanyan almost launched a supernatural attack because he touched her, but luckily he spoke, so she didn't expose her strength in front of Yinzhen. She felt very guilty for a moment.

"Yinzhen, shouldn't you be in Tingyu Courtyard?" Then, Tong Nuanyan remembered that Yinzhen should go to Tingyu Courtyard to find Uya, so why did he run to Piaoxue Courtyard in the dark?

"What's wrong? Yanyan doesn't want me to come to Piaoxueyuan?" Looking at Yinzhen's dangerous eyes, Tong Nuanyan felt like laughing, but then she suppressed the corners of her mouth.

"No, it's just that today is the first day that Uya Gege enters the backyard. According to the rules..." Before Tong Nuanyan finished speaking, Yinzhen put his hand on her lips and whispered, "Yanyan, there's no need to mention her. I'm not going anywhere today. I'll stay here."

Tong Nuanyan knew that Yinzhen had started to act like a child again, and she felt helpless: "Hongzhao is still sleeping next to us, why don't we sleep together as a family of three today?"

Yinzhen came here because he was tired and upset, so he had no objection to this suggestion. He just carried Hongzhao to the bed and lay down with Tong Nuanyan in his arms.

She felt a little sympathy for Hongzhao, thinking that it must be really difficult for Hongzhao to grow up and have to endure his father's jealousy.
