Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

"Fourth Master!" The Fourth Lady shouted nervously, and then kept staring at Yinzhen's face. They hadn't seen each other for several months.

However, Yinzhen only nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to pull her up, and comforted her: "You have worked hard in the past few months when I was away!"

Tong Nuanyan followed behind the Fourth Lady, calmly watching the affectionate scene between the couple. When she saw Yinzhen looking over, she smiled and greeted him:

"Fourth Master, are you tired? We have just started the trial of the week!"

The smile on the Fourth Lady's face faded a little, and her heart, which had originally been happy about Yinzhen's return, also became calm.

She wanted to say something, but Yinzhen came forward with a smile, stretched out his hand to pull Tong Nuanyan up, and looked a little puzzled:

"It's almost eight months, right? Are the twins in your belly making any noise?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was a little stunned. Prince Yong's concubine was actually pregnant with twins?

They didn't know it until now!

For a moment, the princes' wives all looked at Tong Nuanyan with envy and jealousy.

Tong Nuanyan: ...

She looked at the person in front of her with some surprise. There was obvious worry on his face, but there was more in his eyes that she couldn't understand.

Is Yinzhen using her as a shield? I just don't know what his intention is in pretending to accidentally mention the twins.

Yinzhen did have his own selfish motives.

Tong Nuanyan is already eight months pregnant. Revealing the fact that she is pregnant with twins at this time can not only lure out the people hiding in the dark, but also eliminate the need to worry too much about anything happening at this time.

Yinxiang was very surprised to hear that his dear fourth brother had not told him that his little fourth sister-in-law was pregnant with twins. Thinking of this, he spoke with an accusing look on his face:

"Fourth brother! You are so mean. Although you have fewer little princes than your other brothers, your fourth sister-in-law is pregnant with twins. Why didn't you tell me, your younger brother?"

These words reminded everyone.

Yes, the Prince of Yong has few children. It has been ten years since his marriage, and he only has three little princes. No wonder his concubine was so pregnant with twins.

Yinzhen felt a little warm in his heart. He didn't know what Thirteen was doing, but he was helping him in this way. Thirteen was so nice!

On the other side, Fourteen was in a bad mood. Seeing his fourth brother and Thirteen looking at each other like good brothers and smiling at each other, he felt sour and jealous, and his eyes were full of anger.

Tong Nuanyan looked at Fourteen's eyes and was about to sneer, so she quickly responded to Yinzhen's concern:

"I am fine, and the baby in my belly is also fine. Don't worry, Fourth Master. The imperial physician said that a twin pregnancy will give birth in September, most likely next month."

Most twins are born prematurely in the eighth or ninth month of pregnancy, and very few can be born full-term. Therefore, she prepared the delivery room early for fear of giving birth prematurely.

Fourteen's unhappiness was interrupted, and he became so angry that his face became gloomy.

Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by Tong Nuanyan's twins, the Fourth Lady secretly winked at Qiu Li who was standing beside her.

With a gentle smile, the Fourth Lady said, "Fourth Master, the twins are important, but Hong Zhao's birthday celebration is also important. Look, Hong Zhao is playing by himself."

Although she didn't want to talk about Hong Zhao, she didn't want to see Tong Nuanyan stealing the limelight.

Sure enough, Hongzhao, who was originally looking around at the red cloth, saw that no one was paying attention to him after Yinzhen came back and called out, so he sat on the ground and played with the gold, silver and jade items.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Hong Zhao was not afraid. He raised his little face, showing his four teeth to everyone, and smiled happily.

"Amma!"

Hongzhao threw away the jade pendant in his hand and took a closer look. It was the one that the Fourteenth Prince had just placed there. He picked up something else from the plate and walked towards Yinzhen with a thud.

Everyone looked closely and saw that it was an arrow.

The wedding lady quickly shouted: "Young brother, catch the arrow! You will win every battle in the future and never miss a target!"

Others echoed him, calling him the generals of the Qing Dynasty and the talented generals of the Qing Dynasty.

Yinzhen reached out and held Hongzhao's hand, then squatted down and touched his little head: "Well done, Hongzhao!"

At night, after everyone finished the banquet at Prince Yong's Mansion, they left one after another. Yinzhen also took Su Peisheng to Mingxue Courtyard first.

Although the highlight of today is Hongzhao's one-year-old birthday ceremony, Song Yurong gave birth to a daughter for him while he was on a business trip. No matter what, he had to visit her first.

But it was only two months, and Mingxue Courtyard seemed to have been abandoned for several months. There were a lot of weeds growing in the corners, and several elderly maids saluted with smiles on their faces.

"May Your Majesty live a thousand years and be blessed!"

Yinzhen looked at the group of people with a cold face. Su Peisheng saw this and hurried forward and shouted angrily: "How dare you! Is this how you, a bunch of slaves, serve the mother of the third princess?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several old maids were so scared that they immediately knelt down and cried out for their injustice.

Yinzhen didn't even look at her, said fifty strokes of the cane, and walked into Song Yurong's room.

Song Yurong, who was in the inner room, heard the noise outside and realized that the prince had returned. With the help of Sijing, she leaned against the edge of the bed with her weak body.

Just as she was about to get out of bed, she was stopped by Yinzhen who came in. He looked at Song, who was so thin that she looked like a ghost, and frowned tightly. The atmosphere around him became even gloomier.

"Is this how Fu Jin manages the palace? You are allowed to be bullied by these servants!"

Song Yurong remained silent. She had no evidence to identify anyone. She only knew that now that Yinzhen had returned, she would be safe. Those people would not dare to act so blatantly.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Yinzhen felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He could only reach out and hold Song's shoulders, saying dryly: "Don't worry, it won't be like this in the future!"

As he spoke, he thought of the Third Princess whom he had not met yet, and asked, "The Third Princess's full-month celebration was hastily held. I heard from Fu Jin that the Third Princess was born weak and it was not appropriate to hold a big celebration. When she turns one, I will definitely hold a big celebration for our daughter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yurong burst into tears and leaned on Sijing beside her with a moved look on her face. Yinzhen wiped her tears with his hands.

"As long as the prince treats our Third Princess well, I am willing to die."

Yinzhen's frown finally relaxed a little, and he said seriously, "Nonsense, for the sake of our daughter, how can you say such a thing."

He hesitated for a moment and spoke again.

"The third princess hasn't been named yet. Jinwen, how about calling her Jinwen?"

Song Yurong was smiling, but then she started to cough uncontrollably and soon she coughed up blood. Yinzhen's eyes were cold and he immediately sent Su Peisheng to invite the imperial physician.

A quarter of an hour later.

The imperial physician trembled as he withdrew his hand from feeling the pulse, with cold sweat oozing from his forehead. Facing the cold face of Prince Yong, he replied:

"Your Highness, Princess Song has been poisoned, and the poison is very severe. Although the poison can be suppressed with medicine, I'm afraid it will always be like this in the future."

He always looked sick. After hearing what the imperial physician said, Yinzhen closed his eyes tiredly and glanced at the imperial physician indifferently.

"Treat him well. I don't want to hear about the poisoning from anywhere else."

The imperial physician immediately knelt down to show his loyalty. He was a person secretly planted by Yinzhen in the Imperial Medical Bureau, so naturally he would not tell anyone about Yinzhen's affairs.
