Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

Chapter 61: Before the Storm

Yinzhen got an accurate answer, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise. He smiled and said, "Let's go to Piaoxueyuan."

When he thought that Tong Nuanyan was pregnant with her second child in less than two years, his heart was filled with excitement. He already had three princes, so it would be great if he could have another one.

Su Peisheng led the way in front, and Yinzhen walked in a hurry. He was extremely excited along the way, but it did not show on his face.

As soon as he entered Piaoxue Courtyard, Yinzhen discovered that everyone in the courtyard was in high spirits.

"Master, the prince is here."

Wang Chengyun saw Yinzhen from afar and went into the house to report. When he saw Yinzhen walking towards him, he knew without hesitation that it was because of the concubine's pregnancy.

Tong Nuanyan looked at him with admiration. This man was quite clever. Once the potion was digested, she would have someone capable enough to use.

Just as she was about to get up and go out to greet them, a handsome and charming voice rang out: "Don't move! You are pregnant, so there is no need for these empty formalities."

"Thank you, Fourth Master. How come you're so fast?"

Hearing her ask this, Yinzhen raised his lips and leaned close to her ear and whispered, "After hearing Su Peisheng's report, I was thinking about him, so I came faster."

The servants behind them were very perceptive. Seeing the two people clinging to each other, they quietly left the room, leaving only the two of them.

Yinzhen walked in with a smile, took Tong Nuanyan's hands, sat back on the couch, and then looked at her lower abdomen again.

"What did the doctor say?"

Tong Nuanyan was pulled into his arms, looking gently at Yinzhen's strong shoulders, and replied softly: "The imperial physician said that I am one month pregnant, but he didn't say anything else."

Yinzhen gently patted the back of her hand and listened to her carefully. After a moment of silence, he said, "Since the imperial physician didn't say anything, the baby should be healthy. Why don't we invite an imperial physician who is proficient in gynecology?"

Yinzhen didn't mean what he said literally. Liang and Song in the palace were both frail, and their condition became even worse after they became pregnant. Both of them were extremely thin.

He knew in his heart that neither of them might be born, and even if they were, they would be weak babies with a high chance of dying.

Therefore, he must take good care of Tong Nuanyan's baby.

Tong Nuanyan saw that his face turned unhappy after he asked, and she had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't ask any more questions, she just smiled and replied:

"Yinzhen, our child is healthy and will be fine."

Noticing that she changed her address, Yinzhen took a long breath, then smiled and gently patted the back of her hand.

"Why don't we invite an imperial physician who is proficient in gynecology to come and reassure Yinzhen?"

Tong Nuanyan raised her head with a smile and looked at Yinzhen.

Yinzhen felt warm in his heart, and he pulled the girl into his arms again, showing her warmth and tenderness.

……

The main courtyard of Tingyuxuan.

Wu Ya angrily smashed the teacup in the room. The teacup fell to the ground with a loud "bang", and tea and broken porcelain pieces splashed everywhere.

The beautiful face of a young girl looked ferocious at this moment. The maidservant beside her stepped forward tremblingly to persuade her:

"Hey, be careful not to get too angry."

After listening to this, Uya turned around and looked at her viciously. She felt in her heart that everyone was laughing at her. After being granted the title of Prince of Yong for more than half a year, she now received almost no favor.

She was kidnapped several times before, and Prince Yong was not on my side. After all, I was his distant cousin, and he had only come twice in half a year.

Even if she wanted to get pregnant, she couldn't. And there were so many pregnant women in the palace, which made her feel extremely unfair. Why!!!

Wu Ya looked towards the side courtyard with resentment. That was where Liang lived. She would never accept her fate like this!

The eastern courtyard of Mingxueyuan.

Su Gege looked at her own residence. It was so simple that she could see the entire place at a glance. She stroked her belly in a daze.

When she was pregnant, everyone sided with her and gave in to her. Even the Fourth Master, who was still a prince, often gave her precious gifts.

Now he is really a tiger in the open and being bullied by a dog. His food, clothing and other expenses are not even as good as those of the favored maidservant around the concubine!

Tong Jia clan!!

Whenever she thought about the day of delivery, when Yinzhen didn't care about her at all and took away the concubine in front of everyone, she felt extremely hateful.

It's all her!

Why can she get so much just because she is pregnant?

Her little brother is gone, and she can't rely on her family, so she must find a way to get pregnant again!

……

three months later.

Early March of the 40th year of the Kangxi reign.

Snow Courtyard.

Tong Nuanyan was wearing a spring outfit of moderate thickness, a light green cheongsam embroidered with forsythia flowers. Her belly was slightly bulging, but it wasn't very obvious unless you looked closely.

Hong Zhao, who is more than nine months old, is crawling on the blanket. Xia Xi is watching him closely and protecting him at the first possible moment.

Because Tong Nuanyan was pregnant with twins, her belly was much bigger than that of ordinary pregnant women, which made people in the palace suspicious of this pregnancy.

Therefore, today she planned to ask the imperial physician to come and take her pulse. The four-month pregnancy should be able to diagnose twins.

Just when I thought of this, an old man wearing a dark robe and a red tasseled hat came in from outside the yard. He was the imperial physician arranged by Yinzhen.

"I wish you the best of luck, my lady."

He called himself a humble official and was a Han Chinese imperial physician. Tong Nuanyan waved her hand, motioning him to come over and take her pulse.

The imperial physician took out a pulse ointment from the medicine box and placed it on the table. Tong Nuanyan put her hand on it. He then took out a handkerchief and placed it in Tong Nuanyan's hand and began to take her pulse.

After pondering for a while, the imperial physician showed a look of delight, and to confirm his idea, he took the patient's pulse again.

Then he was overjoyed and said, "Congratulations, Concubine, you are pregnant with twins!"

Tong Nuanyan was delighted, pretending that she didn't know either, and quickly asked Wang Chengyun beside her to help the imperial physician up, and then said: "I thought you had eaten a lot recently, so your belly would be bigger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman, but I didn't expect it to be twins."

The imperial physician was very happy. He had to go and tell Prince Yong the good news, so he quickly said, "The concubine is pregnant with twins now. We need to be careful about everything, especially the food. There should be someone in charge."

Tong Nuanyan smiled and said, "Of course, it was the same when I was pregnant with Hongzhao. Everyone below knows what to do. Then, Imperial Physician, I'd like to trouble you to tell the Fourth Master the good news. He will feel more at ease if you go."

The imperial physician waved his hands quickly and said, "Please excuse me, Concubine. It is my duty to announce the good news to the prince. I will take my leave now."

The imperial physician took a few steps back respectfully before turning around and leaving.

Everyone in Piaoxue Courtyard was very excited when they learned that their concubine was pregnant with twins. Just as they were about to congratulate her together, Xia Xi hurried into the inner room from outside.

"Master, Liang gave birth prematurely."

Tong Nuanyan looked at her in surprise. Liang had been pregnant for eight months and the fetus looked very stable. Even if the fetus was not very stable, it should not be a premature birth at this time.

"what happened?"

Tong Nuanyan asked in a low voice, there must be other reasons.
