Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

Not to mention how distressed Ulanara was in the main courtyard, Song Yurong, who was the center of the topic, heard such rumors while she was in confinement after giving birth. She was almost unable to get up due to anger and flew into a rage in Mingxue Courtyard.

"Who on earth is so vicious as to curse the newly born Third Princess like this!"

Her thin and withered hands were trembling as she supported herself on the bed. Her face, which had been thin due to pregnancy, had recovered in the past few days and was no longer pale, but had a slight blush on it.

A maid with a dark blue wound on her forehead came forward and let Song Yurong's frail body lean against her. She felt indignant and distressed for her master: "Princess, there is no good person in this palace. Because the prince is not here, even the third princess's third-day bath was held in a shabby manner..."

"do not talk!"

Song Yurong interrupted her personal maid, she saw it all. In this palace, people who were not favored and had no family background would suffer in life. She would never let her daughter suffer with her, never!

The one with the injured forehead was Sijing, who kowtowed desperately on the day Song gave birth. Seeing that Song Gege was unwilling to listen to her anymore, she had to wipe the sweat off her face silently. It was almost June, the weather was hot, and it was even more difficult to endure the confinement period without ventilation.

"What do you think? When the Fourth Master comes back, will he like the Third Princess?"

Song Yurong's eyes were filled with hope, but her tone was uncertain and a little lonely. Noticing that her attitude was not right, Si Jing, who was patting her back, quickly spoke to comfort her:

"What are you talking about, Princess? The Third Princess is also the prince's child. You can see that the prince treats Princess Huai Ke very well."

Hearing Si Jing's words, Song Yurong smiled a little, but then she didn't know what she was thinking about. She retorted with a sad tone, "But the Fourth Master didn't pay much attention to Jin Yao, who was born to Concubine Liang. What if the Fourth Master treated the Third Princess the same way?"

She is now worried all the time that Yinzhen dislikes the Third Princess. Sometimes she feels that Yinzhen will treat the Third Princess better than Huai Ke, and sometimes she feels that he may not be as good as Jin Yao. She has been asking the same question for several days.

No matter how Sijing answered, Song Yurong had other reasons to refute. She had no confidence in the Third Princess, or in other words, she had no confidence in her own weight in Yinzhen's heart.

Si Jing had no choice but to answer for a while. After hesitating for a long time, she realized that Song Gege didn't care about what she could say, so she returned to the original topic:

"The Third Princess is now being raised in the main courtyard of the Fu Jin family. I just hope that Fu Jin will treat the Third Princess better. After she is out of confinement, the Fourth Master should be back soon. I wonder if the Third Princess can be raised by his side."

As she spoke to herself, tears welled up in her eyes, filled with resentment: "If it weren't for the fact that Fu Jin and Li were competing for favor and harmed the baby in my belly, I wouldn't have given birth to a daughter until now!"

"Gee, you can't cry during confinement. Take care of yourself!"

It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything. Once she said she was worried about her health, Song Yurong became even more angry, her eyes seemed to be filled with poison: "Why should I worry about my health? A pair of scissors will make me never be favored again~"

The horrible centipede-like suture scars on her lower body made her feel sick just by looking at them. She felt that the future was gloomy and the only person she could count on was the Third Princess.

Sijing also started crying, but he still tried his best to persuade Song Yurong.

In just three days, the rumor became more and more rampant. Not only did it say that it was only a month old, but it also spread the Feng Shui theory that a mother would harm her son. From the birth date to the location of the courtyard, the rumor was fully confirmed.

When Tong Nuanyan found out about it, she was preparing things for Hongzhao's first birthday. Seeing Yunxin looking at her hesitantly as if she wanted to say something, she knew that this girl couldn't hold back her words.

She propped her chin with one hand, half-closed her eyes, and glanced at Yun Xin lazily, "Just tell me what you want to say?"

Yun Xin heaved a sigh of relief. She had wanted to share this with her master for a long time, but Tong Nuanyan had never been interested in gossip, so now she finally let him speak:

"Master, you don't know that it's being rumored everywhere in the palace that the third princess's biological mother is unlucky for her!"

Tong Nuanyan was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes would be exposed so quickly. No matter who that person was, she wanted Song Yurong to die. The royal family's heirs must not have a mother who would kill them. She wanted to make a big fuss and let the emperor know so that Kangxi would take action.

Her eyes became sharp and she curled her lips in a scornful smile: "Oh, didn't Fu Jin stop the rumors?" If Ulanara wanted to stop it, it would be impossible that she had not taken any action until now.

Yun Xin looked stunned. She exchanged glances with Qiu Yu who was waiting beside her, shook her head and said, "I haven't heard that the first wife has given any order."

Qiu Yu pondered for a while, then carefully followed Yun Xin's words and said, "Master, Fu Jin didn't stop them. I think she has some unknown purpose, or she wants to see who can't sit still."

Her words reminded Tong Nuanyan, who guessed Ulanara's purpose: "You mean? Fu Jin wants to kill two birds with one stone by taking this opportunity?"

Qiuyu nodded at her, which made her heart sink. According to Qiuyu, the Fourth Lady did not want to catch the person behind the scenes, but wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of the biggest worry in her heart.

The people they want to get rid of are none other than Li or Tong Nuanyan.

But she snorted again. The person behind the scenes wanted to use Kangxi's hand, and the news would surely spread to the palace. Wouldn't every prince who left the palace to set up his own residence have a few spies of the emperor?

"You don't have to worry too much. Keep an eye on the people below and try to go out less in the next few days."

Yun Xin and Qiu Yu bowed with a serious face after hearing this: "Yes, we obey your orders and will never let anyone catch us doing anything wrong!"

Fallen Plum Courtyard.

Li was having lunch with Hongyun and Huai Ke. She personally picked up many dishes for Hongyun and sat next to him. Huai Ke, on the other hand, sat at the farthest seat and ate in silence.

Watching my mother pick up food and feed my younger brother affectionately, watching her wipe my younger brother's mouth affectionately, it would be a lie to say I am not envious. I don't know when my father will come back, but every time he comes, my mother treats him very well.

Whenever Ama came, my mother would dress her in new clothes, pick up food for her affectionately, and smile gently at her. It would be great if Ama could always stay in Luomeiyuan.

After Li Qinya finished feeding her baby son, she saw her maid came in with a smile on her face and whispered the rumors in the mansion into her ear. She couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Hongyun and Huai Ke looking over, he immediately arranged for the nurse to take the two children away. He then walked around the room a few times and sat down again. He couldn't help but smile and asked Dongying beside him:

"Is the news accurate?" Seeing Dongying nodding, she couldn't help but show joy on her face, and said proudly: "Song Yurong also has this fate, which is really refreshing. However, she has been with the Fourth Master earlier than me, and she always opposes me. Don't you think of her background?"

Dongying also looked very proud and agreed with what Li Qinya said.
