The Virtuous Concubine

The Yuanyangs were still whispering here, but Jingyi over there was suffering from unbearable abdominal pain because she had drunk enough of the "abortion-preserving medicine" that Doctor Gu had carefully prepared over the past few days!

Dachun was so anxious that she ran to the main hall. At this time, she only remembered that Malu was the backbone of the entire Yonghe Palace, and only with the presence of Concubine De, Jingyi would be safe.

Dachun's shout interrupted Nalan's words.

It's funny to say this sentence, it's actually "I want you to be my legitimate wife and never suffer any grievances again."

When Malu heard Dachun's cry, she immediately held down Nalan and went to Jingyi's residence with her bulging belly.

Jingyi was pale and groaning in pain on the bed. Malu gave birth twice. After counting the frequency of contractions, she immediately ordered the palace maids to prepare hot water, towels and other items, and asked the eunuch to ask the imperial physician Gu to come again and bring the prepared midwife.

Doctor Gu rushed over and after a careful diagnosis, he found no signs of the labor-inducing drug, so he bowed and confessed: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my poor care. Concubine Zhang Jia's condition... was affected by the drug when she was conceived, and the fetus... can only stay in the mother's body until this time."

Malu suddenly became anxious: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You never mentioned it to me before!"

Doctor Gu had no choice but to kneel down and made the excuse that the development of the fetus in the womb could not be predicted with complete accuracy, and that he had already reminded him of this and it was written in the pulse record, but it had just been too long.

After talking about his books for a long time, he finally said, "Although the situation is critical, as long as we handle it properly, there is still hope that both mother and child will be safe."

Malu only regretted that Rong Ji was not around, but he could not change his generals at the last minute, so he could only nod and say, "Doctor Gu, you must do your best to ensure that mother and child are safe. You are not allowed to write anything about being affected by the drug, understand?"

Jingyi and Dachun naturally understood that this was to protect the child's status and avoid being looked at and suspected by others. This was a God-given child, a treasure that everyone had been looking forward to, not a regret after a deliberate plan.

Jingyi's face was already covered in tears from the pain, and after hearing these words, her tears burst out even more.

Empress!

Jingyi gritted her teeth and said with difficulty: "My Lady, I understand. I...I will not give up."

Malu quickly asked someone to wipe her sweat. It wasn't that she didn't want to wipe it herself, but her current belly made it difficult for her to bend over, not to mention the bloody smell from Jingyi's side, which was too irritating for her as a pregnant woman.

After all this tugging, Malu's face turned pale. Seeing this, everyone urged her to go back and rest. They were also pregnant women, so how could they work so hard?

Malu also felt that she could not hold on any longer, so she had to return to the main hall. However, she still ordered Bai Xia to bring all the midwives in Yonghe Palace to the side hall, and asked Bai Fu to stay here while Bai Xia gave orders outside.

Jingyi was her first child and she was born prematurely, so she couldn't be neglected. The midwife that the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared for her must be better than the one for Jingyi. When she was not around, the side hall couldn't be without someone in charge.

After arranging everything and returning, Malu saw Nalan hiding in the corner of the inner room, and finally relaxed: "I didn't have time to look at you carefully before, you look so strange today."

When they first met, Nalan wore guard uniform and riding and archery uniform, but after they fell in love... I only saw him wearing eunuch uniform and night clothes.

This is the first time I’ve seen Yaotong’s new skin.

Nalan then seemed to come back to life, and turned around lively for Malu to see. Malu couldn't help laughing when she saw him showing off like that.

Compared with Rong Ji, who appears cold and noble, Nalan has his own elegance and grace.

As they spent the years together in such peace and quiet, Nalan couldn't help but think of the topic they had not finished before.

If Malu could be his wife, marry her in a formal ceremony, with a phoenix crown and a red bridal robe...

In spring, I can take Malu for an outing, in summer, we can stay at home to enjoy the rain and cool off, in autumn, we can stroll along the trails, in winter, we can drink hot wine and appreciate the plum blossoms, and we can hug each other on the porch and watch the snow.

He might be able to write a masterpiece that would allow future generations to pass on their harmony and beauty, or he might be so happy that he wouldn't write a single word.

Thinking of this, Nalan couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat and shed tears for the possibilities he had missed.

Malu was also surprised when he saw it: "What happened?"

Nalan smiled and blinked away the tears that had not yet flowed out of his eyes, and said, "I was thinking about what our wedding ceremony should be like."

With Nalan's current strength, the wedding ceremony, the position of the principal wife, and not being wronged, each one of them is too far away.

Malu's eyes were also a little hot, she could see that Nalan was serious. But she also understood the difficulties involved, so she just regarded it as the sweet words of daily life, which would be blown away by the wind.

She snuggled in Nalan's arms, rolled her eyes, and said, "Wedding ceremony... it's easier said than done. There are so many obstacles between us. Why don't you find an opportunity to make more achievements? Then don't be a guard anymore, but a prince's teacher. When the child grows up, he can see you every day, and I will be satisfied."

After hearing this, Nalan felt sad and bitter in his heart, and felt that he was filled with the tiny wishes of the little woman in front of him.

Once a teacher, always a father - she is secretly letting the child recognize her as the biological father!

At this moment, Nalan was overwhelmed by such tenderness and a bold ambition surged in his heart: "If you become the queen, there will be a ceremony to crown you! Compared with ordinary wedding ceremonies, it can be considered comparable."

Malu was shocked at first when she heard Nalan's words, but she couldn't help but chuckle after she reacted: "I thought that people who become fathers would be more stable, but I didn't expect you to become more frivolous. The position of queen is not something that can be obtained casually. I have never had such extravagant hopes."

After thinking for a while, Malu added: "What's more, although the enthronement ceremony is glorious, it's not you standing next to me, so what's the point of glory?"

Nalan had worked hard to climb to the position of Concubine De, but she was completely unaware of the hardships she had gone through.

And isn’t it said that Kangxi was unlucky in marriage?

Of course, she didn’t know whether Kangxi was really unlucky in marriage or not. After all, few people in the world knew Kangxi’s horoscope.

But what is certain is that being Kangxi's legal wife would not have been a good ending. Kangxi was suspicious by nature, so how could he allow others to sleep soundly beside his bed? Even if it was his own woman, he would not allow it.

If she really became the queen, her children would definitely be bullied to death.

Besides, if the Nalan family really had this ability, they would have supported Concubine Hui to ascend to the throne and made the eldest prince the legitimate son long ago. How could it be possible for me, a concubine of the Nalan family who has no blood relationship with the Nalan family and has the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince ahead of me, to get my turn?

Seeing that there was no change in Nalan's expression, he knew that this stubborn bull was thinking of something tricky again.

Malu smiled slightly, her eyes full of tenderness: "I know how you feel about me, and your words are enough. It's good for us now, and there's no need to yearn for those unattainable things."
