Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

It was already evening when we returned to Tong Mansion by carriage. Longkodo and his wives and concubines were waiting at the door.

As soon as the carriage in front stopped, the people at the door hurried to greet them.

"What a good daughter you are, my father. I, Longkodo, have two good daughters!"

Hearing Longkodo's joyful laughter, Tong Nuanyan realized that Tong Yuyan was also retained, but she didn't know whether she would enter the palace as an imperial concubine or become a prince's wife.

"I, your daughter, pay my respects to your father. Your father is so great, and so should your daughter!" Tong Yuyan is a little proud now, not as gentle as before. Well, she is just a teenage girl, and no matter how hard she tries to pretend to be gentle, she can't control herself.

Li, a concubine, couldn't stand it. She couldn't help but sneer before she even entered the house: "Some people, they haven't even gotten married yet, but they're already pretending!"

As she spoke, Li glared at Tong Nuanyan. Longkodo, who was walking in front, turned around and said, "Oh, my little ancestor, if you have something to say, go inside and talk. What are you talking to the child here?"

Li relied on Longkodo's favor and was arrogant, rolling her eyes at Tong Nuanyan.

"Auntie Li, no matter how you disliked me in the past, it doesn't matter, but now, you have no right to interfere in my affairs! My mother is still the concubine of the Tong family, and now, I am about to enter the prince's residence. No matter which prince's harem I enter, I am also a member of the royal family. Auntie Li will also greet me when she sees me in the future!"

As Li's face became increasingly ugly, Tong Nuanyan's smile grew deeper.

After saluting Longkodo next to him, he turned around and left, regardless of how Li was making a fuss and cursing behind him. After all, it was Longkodo who was embarrassed when a concubine cursed the daughter of the mansion at the gate of her own home.

Looking at Li who was swearing all the time, Longkodo regretted for the first time that he doted on her too much. He brought Li back from the brothel because of this reason. When doing things, Li would say vulgar words, which was more exciting, so he doted on her a little more. He didn't expect that Li would become so lawless now.

"That's enough! Have you made enough noise? Do you want to make a fool of yourself again? Someone, send Li back and put her under house arrest for half a year!"

Longkodo quickly ordered someone to take Li away to avoid losing face.

The next day, at dawn, the eunuch sent by the palace to deliver the imperial edict arrived.

Tong Nuanyan hadn't gotten enough sleep at all, and Yun Xin woke her up to dress up, and followed Longkodo and his wives and concubines to the main courtyard to greet them.

"Your servant Longkodo obeys the order!"

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Tong Yuyan, the legitimate daughter of Longkodo, the Deputy Commander of the Zhenglan Banner Mongolian Army, is beautiful and graceful, with a calm and gentle appearance, and a quiet and elegant demeanor. By the order of the Empress Dowager, I decree that she be granted the title of noble lady. This is the order! Noble lady Tong, accept the order!"

"Impossible, you must have seen it wrong! Don't I want to be the prince's wife?" Tong Yuyan was young after all, and in just two days, her hidden temper was exposed.

"Yuyan! Stop talking nonsense! Ah, this eunuch, I am sorry for offending you just now. Yuyan, no, Concubine Tong was just too happy and didn't react for a while. Concubine Tong, thank you quickly!"

Longkodo stared at Tong Yuyan, fearing that she would make another murderous move. Fortunately, Tong Yuyan valued her life so much that she thanked him reluctantly.

Tong Nuanyan was watching this farce and had already been fighting with 805 celestial beings in her mind.

"805, I remember from the remaining historical records that there was no niece of Empress Xiaoyiren in Kangxi's harem, right?"

[Host, according to the data, there is indeed no such person, but we cannot rule out the possibility that the data has been damaged, and we still know too little about this dynasty.]

At this time, the eunuch who announced the imperial edict did not leave, but took another imperial edict from the young eunuch behind him.

The father-in-law's eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped at the top of Tong Nuanyan's head. Because Tong Nuanyan had just knelt down with the main group to receive the order, she had not relaxed at all, so she was particularly eye-catching.

"Princess Tong, please accept the decree! The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Tong Nuanyan, the concubine daughter of Longkodo, the deputy governor of the Zhenglan Banner Mongolia, is virtuous, dignified, polite, chaste and gentle. The Empress Dowager has shown her great kindness and grants her to the Fourth Prince Yinzhen as his concubine. This is the decree! Concubine, please accept the decree and thank her for the grace."

Perhaps because Tong Nuanyan had been kneeling just now, her father-in-law's attitude softened.

"Your humble servant Tong Nuanyan bows to thank His Majesty. Long live the emperor!!"

"Please get up quickly, Concubine. The wedding will be on the first day of next month, which is a good day for everything. Please make good preparations at Tong Mansion."

Facing Tong Nuanyan's smiling expression, his face suddenly turned dark when he looked at Tong Yuyan.

"As for Concubine Tong, a nanny will come to take you to the palace in three days."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Looking at Yun Xin beside her, she quickly took out a bag of silver and stuffed it into the father-in-law's hand. "This is for tea, father-in-law."

Tong Yuyan is still sad now, how can she have the energy to please a eunuch?

The eunuch weighed the silver in his hand and was a little surprised to find banknotes inside. He pulled Yun Xin over with a smile on his face, chatted with her for a few words, and then said that he was going back to the palace.

More than half a month later.

Tong Mansion on Beijing Street is particularly festive today. All the dignitaries living on this street know that today is the auspicious day for Longkodo to marry his daughter, so they came early with gifts. Some of them came to make friends with Longkodo, while most of them came to make friends with others even though they could not get close to Longkodo.

Tong Nuanyan's yard is filled with magenta decorations. The concubine is having a wedding, but they cannot use pure red, only magenta and bright red.

Yun Xin inserted a bright red velvet hairpin with the pattern of the three elements of happiness and longevity into the hair of the peerless beauty in front of her.

"The princess looks so beautiful in her wedding dress. Now she looks so beautiful in just red. I really want to see the princess in bright red. She will definitely look even more beautiful!" Yun Xin was still laughing with a bright smile.

"Well, whether it's Pinhong or Zhenghong, it's a marriage granted by the emperor, so we just need to live our lives well."

"Bring the veil here, I'm going out."

Yun Xin supported Tong Nuanyan all the way smoothly. The wedding maids watched from the side. As long as nothing went wrong, they would not come to interfere, but they still had to accompany Tong Nuanyan out.

Longkodo had been waiting at the gate for the Fourth Prince to arrive with the wedding procession. When he saw Tong Nuanyan coming out, he quickly stepped forward and said to the wedding nanny: "The Fourth Prince hasn't arrived yet, why did you let the princess come out?"

"Father, it's okay, the Fourth Prince is coming soon."

Tong Nuanyan also asked 805 to investigate before coming out. When she reached the door, the wedding procession led by the Fourth Prince arrived.

I saw a handsome man of eight feet tall, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose and thin lips. He was wearing a magenta wedding suit and riding a majestic horse.

The only thing that ruins her appearance is the half-moon hair and the rat tail. It is really ugly. If it weren't for the good looks of the Fourth Prince, it would be really unbearable to look at.

Tong Nuanyan was using her mental power to comment recklessly and did not notice that Yinzhen had dismounted and was approaching her.

A slender, strong hand with distinct joints reached out.

"Tong Ergege, let's go."

What is unexpected is that the Fourth Prince, who was thought to be always cold, should have the voice of a mature uncle, but why does his voice sound so boyish? In order to make himself sound mature, he even deliberately lowered his voice.

Tong Nuanyan put her hand on Yinzhen's big hand, and when Yinzhen shook his hand on one side, she turned her hand over and interlocked her fingers.

Noticing that Yinzhen was stiff for a moment, Tong Nuanyan quickly shared it with 805.

"805, you see, Yinzhen doesn't know the various routines of society, right? Trick him well and urge him to take good care of his health, otherwise where will my child come from?"

The more Tong Nuanyan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
