Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

Chapter 60: Diagnosing a Pregnant Pulse

It was November and heavy snow had already begun to fall. The entire capital city was covered with a thick layer of snow, making it difficult to travel.

Prince Yong's Mansion.

In the snowy courtyard, Tong Nuanyan wrapped her small cloak tightly around her body and looked at the chubby Hong Zhao lying on the couch.

Hong Zhao's face was flushed at this time, and he was obviously very warm. Hong Zhao, who was nearly five months old, had become very strong at this time and could roll over very skillfully.

When Hong Zhao turned over for the first time, Tong Nuanyan was so excited that she tossed and turned on the couch, making Hong Zhao lie on his stomach and turn over again.

Hongzhao finally pouted and started crying, and Yinzhen, who had just experienced a drunken kidnapping two days ago, just happened to come in.

His face immediately turned gloomy and he looked at her with disapproval. Then he played the role of a loving father and hugged his son and coaxed him with heartache.

Tong Nuanyan was immediately turned into a bad person. Fortunately, Hongzhao was easy to coax. He didn't stay in Yinzhen's arms for long before he started to make a fuss and look for his mother.

The one who immediately became unhappy was Yinzhen. Since that time, Yinzhen came to Piaoxueyuan frequently, under the pretext of letting Hongzhao get to know him better as his father.

Only Tong Nuanyan knew that Yinzhen was honest at night. Wasn’t it because he had been kidnapped once and developed a new world?

But this was exactly what Tong Nuanyan wanted.

Suddenly, for nearly half a month, Yinzhen had been resting in Piaoxue Courtyard. Other people in the palace were secretly resentful. But they had to put on a smile when paying respects on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. It was really frustrating.

Tong Nuanyan didn't care about their thoughts and lived a very comfortable life. She had a great time having hotpot from time to time in the winter.

Yinzhen didn't doubt anything. Hot pot has existed as early as the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, it was called a shuangyang pot. It was renamed warm pot in the Tang Dynasty and simply called hot pot in the Song Dynasty. It has become even more popular in the Qing Dynasty. In winter, many families will make hot pot.

Tong Nuanyan was looking at the little man on the couch with a smile in her eyes. She saw him trying hard to turn over, but his round body could not move and he tried for a long time but failed.

Seeing that he started to pout again, Tong Nuanyan didn't dare to watch and reached out to help him. She saw him turning over to face the beam and shouting "Ah Ah".

"Xia Xi."

Tong Nuanyan no longer paid attention to Hong Zhao on the couch. She called out softly, and a middle-aged woman dressed as a nanny immediately came in from outside the door. It was the bionic man Xia Xi.

"Owner."

Tong Nuanyan touched the cloak made by the robot Chunxiu and asked calmly, "Anything happened recently?"

Of course, what she was talking about was Yinzhen's other women. Regardless of whether she had other ideas or not, she had to be on guard in advance.

"Master, Tingyuxuan's Liang Gege's pregnancy seems unstable, and a few days ago we invited a doctor to come and protect the pregnancy."

There was no emotion in the voice, and Xia Xi's wrinkled face was expressionless.

Tong Nuanyan was half-lying on the chaise longue, and said in confusion: "Liang? Is the secret recipe for having a child given by her family so useless? Song took the recipe I gave her, how is she now?"

Xia Xi's eyes flashed red, and she said coldly: "Master, I secretly took the medicine residue and studied it. Liang's prescription is extremely strong. It directly stimulates the uterus and ovaries to ovulate, and can quickly complete ovulation, fertilization and implantation."

It turned out to be the case.

Using this method is also accelerating your own life and harming your body.

Tong Nuanyan closed her eyes. If she didn’t have this interstellar mall, she might still need this kind of prescription. She was not afraid of this kind of harm when practicing supernatural powers.

Motioning Xia Xi to continue, Tong Nuanyan lay back on the chaise longue. It was most comfortable to lie down in the house on this winter day.

"…Song's pregnancy reaction is so severe that she can hardly eat. Her body functions are weak and she didn't recover for half a year after her last miscarriage. She is suffering from pregnancy."

Tong Nuanyan sneered: "She has always wanted a child, and I helped her. She should be grateful to me. She would rather suffer this."

She had no sympathy for Song. Of course, anyone who dared to plot against her would have to pay the price. It was impossible for her to let Song give birth to a child safely. Her revenge had just begun.

Then he remembered something: "By the way, can you find out anything in the palace?"

Xia Xi knew what she was asking, and immediately said, "Mrs. Tong is pregnant."

Tong Nuanyan smiled with satisfaction. That inferior multiple-birth pill could directly take her life, which could be considered revenge for the original owner. Multiple births and difficult deliveries would also absorb the mother's nutrients faster. Could Tong Nuanyan still hold on until the birth?

……

December of the thirty-ninth year of the Kangxi reign.

The capital city welcomed the end of the year once. Although it was the beginning of the month, every mansion began to hang big red lanterns in the house.

The New Year atmosphere has already begun.

It was a relatively ordinary day in Prince Yong's Palace until a voice of congratulations broke the tranquility of the palace.

"Congratulations, Concubine, you are already one month pregnant!"

An elderly imperial physician knelt down and bowed, then started talking about the good news. He had never expected that he would find out such a happy news just by doing his monthly routine of checking the patient's pulse. He would definitely receive a reward.

Tong Nuanyan also pretended to have just learned about it, with a tone of disbelief, and then said happily: "Qiuyu, reward!"

Qiuyu really didn't know that the third prince Hongzhao, born to the concubine, was only five months old, but she was pregnant with her second child so soon. She hurried into the inner room and brought out a tray.

There was exactly one hundred taels of silver on it. The imperial physician kowtowed excitedly to express his gratitude. He was just a person with little presence in the Imperial Medical Bureau, so only tedious tasks like taking the patient's pulse would fall on him. It was the first time he received such a large reward, so it would be strange if he was not excited.

"Thank you for the reward, Madam. If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave."

The imperial physician held the reward silver in his hands and said with a trembling voice that after seeing Tong Nuanyan waving, he couldn't wait to walk out. This one hundred taels of silver was equivalent to half a year's salary of the Imperial Hospital!

"Your servant/your servant congratulates the concubine, congratulations to the concubine!"

Qiuyu called all the servants in Piaoxue Courtyard, and they all knelt down and congratulated loudly. Everyone was in high spirits, and even the two robots smiled, albeit a little stiffly.

Everyone in Piaoxue Courtyard congratulated from the bottom of their hearts. This master had followed the right person. It had only been a short time since she gave birth to the third prince, and she was pregnant again right away. She was a blessed person, and they had a bright future ahead of them.

Especially the three eunuchs Wang Chengyun, who had only been with Tong Nuanyan for two months and had not received much in rewards. However, they were happier than anyone else to have a new little master so soon.

"Everyone, get up. Everyone in Piaoxueyuan will be rewarded with two months' monthly salary!" Tong Nuanyan's face was also full of smiles. Now that she is pregnant with twins, she needs to unite Piaoxueyuan into one.

"Thank you, Concubine, for the reward!"

Qiuyu then dismissed everyone else, leaving only her and Yunxin.

"My Lord, the prince doesn't know that you are pregnant yet. Do you want to send someone to inform him?" Qiuyu couldn't stop smiling, but she didn't forget the business.

Tong Nuanyan restrained her smile and said to Yun Xin on the other side: "Why don't you go quickly?"

Yun Xin was slightly stunned, and only reacted when Qiuyu tugged at her sleeve. She quickly retreated happily. She wanted to tell the prince the good news as soon as possible!

Front yard study.

At this time, Yinzhen was reviewing the family files of the Ministry of Revenue in the room with a frown on his face. Since he was promoted to king, he has been accustomed to handling matters according to the law, impartially and fairly, which has offended a small number of officials.

But he didn't regret it. Even if it happened again, he would still make the same decision. Before he could think further, Su Peisheng walked in briskly from outside the door.

Yinzhen asked calmly, "What's the hurry?"

Su Peisheng bowed and said quickly, "Your Highness, Yun Xin from Piaoxue Courtyard came to report that Concubine Tong is one month pregnant!"

Yinzhen put the scroll down, his eyes filled with joy, "Really?"

"It is absolutely true! It was said by Yun Xin of Piaoxueyuan herself, and it was confirmed by the imperial physician who just diagnosed Ping'an's pulse. I dare not speak nonsense."

Su Peisheng also had a smile on his face, and at this moment he looked even happier than Yinzhen, the father next to him.
