Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

Regardless of whether anyone noticed Yinzhen's unnatural expression, to others, Yinzhen always had no expression in their eyes, and it was not noticeable that he had a gloomy face now.

Over there, the Fourth Lady was happy thinking that Concubine De still paid attention to her as the legitimate wife, and she forgot about the relationship between Yinzhen and Concubine De, and began to become proud. Concubine De valued her, which was a disguised support for her, which was naturally a slap in the face of the other concubines.

Tong Nuanyan suppressed the smile on her face. That peace locket might become a thorn in Yinzhen's future. The fact that the Fourteenth Prince's infancy items could be kept for twelve years was the greatest pain for Yinzhen, who was also his biological son.

Yinzhen was silent for a moment, staring at the peace locket worn around Honghui's neck, then looked at Hongyun and Huai Ke who were sitting on the right rear, and said, "Mother, Hongyun and the others also want to congratulate Mama. Hongyun, Huai Ke, come quickly." As Yinzhen spoke, he stretched out his hand and beckoned Hongyun and Huai Ke to come forward.

Huai Ke looked at Concubine De timidly, with some fear on her face. As a girl and with a lowly mother, she had rarely seen this mama since she was born. She was five years old and had not seen as much as Hong Yun, who was three years old. This also made Concubine De look like a stranger, so Huai Ke was naturally afraid. Hong Yun was a little braver because of his young age. He directly crouched down from the chair, pulled Huai Ke's sleeve and came to the center.

"I wish Mama a happy dream." Li Gege had taught her this sentence several times. Although it was simple, it was correct and could be memorized by a three-year-old child. Therefore, when this blessing came out, Concubine De smiled a little.

"Good, good, good, your dream comes true. Li is very thoughtful." Defei smiled and praised Li Gege who was not present, which made people ignore Tong Nuanyan who was present. Tong Nuanyan didn't care. She didn't care about this kind of suppression and intimidation.

Yinzhen looked back at Tong Nuanyan who was sitting next to him. Seeing that she didn't care much, he didn't say much. Besides, since Li had made a great contribution to childbirth, it was not excessive for Defei to praise her a few words.

Tong Nuanyan continued to drink tea in silence. At this moment, she was still thinking about the cosmetics of Xueyue Pavilion. How could she care about such a prestige? [Host, we can start production after the Mid-Autumn Festival. ]

[Let someone send a few sets to the palace first, and don't let Longkoduo go through them again. We should avoid him in the future.] Tong Nuanyan thought that she should not trust Longkoduo too much after all, and she should arrange a robot as a servant for shopping, otherwise she would not be able to explain the source of her things in the future.

[Yes, host, 805 will let No. 805 deliver it personally. As long as the host sends someone to receive it at night, it will be fine.] said that there were only two robots around Tong Nuanyan. One of them was a craftsman robot, a low-level robot Chunxiu, who made clothes and embroidered every day. The other was Xia Xi, an all-round bionic man who was not very useful at present.

Tong Nuanyan was still thinking, while everyone present started chatting. Yinzhen didn't say much and just sat there drinking tea in silence, while Defei and the Fourth Lady seemed to have met each other too late. It was obvious that the last time Tong Nuanyan and the Fourth Lady came together, their relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very stiff, but this time it got better?

"Mother, look at me, I actually forgot about Sister Tong. I shouldn't have done that. Please forgive me." The Fourth Lady looked at Tong Nuanyan who was silent and absent-minded, and said with great remorse. However, the smiling Concubine De gradually restrained herself, took a sip of the Yuqian Longjing on the table, and then looked at Tong Nuanyan.

De Fei smiled lightly, then pressed her temples: "I am old, and the people around me didn't even remind me, so I let Concubine Jin sit there like this." De Fei looked at the senior palace maid beside her with a reproachful look on her face, and her words were also blaming, but her expression was indeed teasing and not serious. The senior palace maid also smiled faintly and said: "It's my fault. I saw that the queen and the fourth concubine were chatting happily, and I forgot about it."

Tong Nuanyan looked at the three servants who were singing the same tune and belittling her, pretending she didn't hear anything, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are joking. I thought you didn't want my gift. If that was the case, it would save money. I didn't expect you would still give it to me. Sigh."

Seeing Tong Nuanyan's distressed look, Defei felt inexplicably better: "I'm glad you have this intention. What kind of gift would make you so distressed?" Then she didn't even look at the Fourth Lady beside her.

Tong Nuanyan took a brocade box from Yunxin's hand. The box was exquisitely carved with exotic colored shells. Seeing that Concubine De was a little curious, Tong Nuanyan slowly opened the box: she saw a small translucent glass bottle in the box.

"This looks like perfumed dew, it's not a very rare thing. Although it's difficult to make, you can buy it with money." The Fourth Lady was the first to sneer. She didn't expect that Tong Nuanyan, a daughter of the Tong family, would regard this perfumed dew as a treasure.

"Oh, Fu Jin guessed wrong this time." Tong Nuanyan said, watching Yinzhen and Defei become curious, and even the three children kept looking at the bottle on the brocade box.

Tong Nuanyan began to introduce the bottle: "Legend has it that a thousand years ago in the Han Dynasty, there was a beautiful woman with a unique fragrance. When she was born, her fragrance spread a foot away. When she grew up, her fragrance could be smelled from two feet away. Some people say that her fragrance is as light as lotus, while others say that it is as strong as laurel. After this beautiful woman grew up, she used a special method to extract fragrant water from the water that touched her body."

Before Tong Nuanyan could explain how this bottle of perfume came from, the Fourth Lady broke the silence: "Sister Tong, you've said so much, isn't this still perfume?"

De Fei was obviously attracted by the story told by Tong Nuanyan, and was a little unhappy with the sudden interruption of the Fourth Lady. "Ulanara, let her finish her words first." Then, regardless of the smile on the Fourth Lady's face, De Fei was really nice to you when she needed you, but she didn't even give you face when she didn't need you.

The key point is that even Yinzhen spoke up at this time: "Could this bottle of perfume be the one extracted by that woman?" Yinzhen thought that if it was a perfume from a thousand years ago, wouldn't it become smelly if it was opened now?

Tong Nuanyan smiled and glanced at Yinzhen, then spoke again: "That's not the case. This bottle of fragrance is extracted from red lotus according to the method of this Han Dynasty woman. If you drop it on the skin, it can keep the fragrance for two days. I named this bottle of fragrance dew 'Zhu Yao'. I wonder if the Empress Defei likes this gift?"

Tong Nuanyan came directly to Concubine De with the brocade box, took out the bottle of turbid demon from it, and dripped a drop on Concubine De's outstretched left hand. The fragrance slowly spread, and soon, the whole main hall of Yonghe Palace was faintly filled with this fragrance.

The smile on Concubine De's face grew bigger and bigger, and her attitude towards Tong Nuanyan also changed. She began to feel satisfied now. However, Tong Nuanyan didn't know about this, and even if she knew, she wouldn't take it to heart. This bottle of perfume was just a low-quality perfume that she had just urgently exchanged from the mall, and even the story about the Han Dynasty woman was made up on the spot and did not exist at all.

"I like this gift very much. Bring Hongzhao to let me see him. I haven't seen him for more than half a month. Is Hongzhao being taken good care of by you?" After receiving the gift, Defei's attitude became much better. She asked to see Hongzhao's voice, and Tong Nuanyan naturally did so.

After chatting for a long time, it has now gone from Si time (10 o'clock) to Wu time (11 o'clock). At this time, he was lying in Tong Nuanyan's arms, wearing a small dress embroidered with giant pandas, his mouth moving smackingly, and his eyes and eyebrows, which were somewhat like Yinzhen, were staring at Defei in front of him without blinking.

Defei looked at the little baby, and the love in her heart could not be restrained from overflowing. She didn't know what was going on, but she took Hongzhao from Tong Nuanyan's arms and gently coaxed and rocked him. Everyone else was stunned. Defei had never held Yinzhen's child, and even Honghui, the legitimate son, did not have this treatment. But Hongzhao became an exception.

"Hongzhao is so adorable. Concubine Tong took good care of him. His little arms are so strong. Hongzhao will meet his emperor father at the dinner. The emperor must like this child." Defei smiled and shook Hongzhao, who was amused and laughed happily.

At this time, the senior palace maid beside Concubine De came out to remind her: "Your Majesty." She was holding a tray with three safety locks of the same quality on it. I guess they were used to reward other children who did not receive any rewards.

Sure enough, Concubine De glanced at Tong Nuanyan with a faint smile, put Hongzhao back in her arms, then picked up one of the safety locks and put it in Hongzhao's arms: "Hongzhao is still young now, this safety lock can be regarded as a blessing. When he grows up, he will naturally get something better."

What Defei said was very meaningful. In this era, there were too many children who died young. Even in the royal family, there were many children who died young. Children would not be given a name until they were six years old. For example, Hongzhao is now the third prince, but he should have been the fourth prince. However, Hongyun, who was second, died at the age of two. Therefore, Hongyun became the second prince, and Hongzhao became the third prince.

"It's getting late, it's already noon, serve the meal. You can go pay your respects to the Empress Dowager in the afternoon, and then go to Jiaotai Hall to attend the banquet in the evening." After distributing the peace locks on the tray, Concubine De felt that it was about time, so she said the last sentence and stood up and walked towards the round table in the center of the main hall.
