Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 41 Kangxi's Harem Wins Everyday

What followed was a series of events such as serving tea. It was all very uneventful and normal, with no accidents happening that shouldn't have happened.

Yinzhen had something to tell Dong E, so he sent everyone back.

Yinzhen: "Since Fu Jin has married me, she should be in charge of the household affairs. However, I think I will move out of the palace soon, so I will let Fu Jin take charge of the household affairs after I leave the palace."

Dong E understood that the Fourth Prince did not want her to be in charge of palace affairs before leaving the palace.

To be honest, she was very unhappy. As the legitimate wife, she could not be the head of the family. No one would take her seriously, not to mention that she could clearly feel that Yinzhen disliked her.

Such an opening gave Dong E a headache.

She tried her best to suppress the desire to argue. The man in front of her was the Fourth Prince, the future emperor. She couldn't quarrel with him, especially during their wedding period.

"Who do you plan to let be the housekeeper?"

"Since Fu Jin entered the palace, the affairs of the front and back yards have been taken care of by Concubine. She has done a great job, and the Emperor has praised her. For the time being, let Concubine take charge of the affairs of the back yard."

Dong E's smile could hardly be maintained, and she continued, "I see that sister Wu Su is about to give birth, and the housekeeper will inevitably be tired. Will this be bad for sister Wu Su?"

Of course Yinzhen knew that pregnant women should not be tired, but he was worried about Dong E! Who made her have a criminal record? She could have caused such a big incident during the selection.

"Fujin is thoughtful. Master asked Su Peisheng to help Wusu manage the household so that he wouldn't be too tired."

Dong E had nothing to say. She could see that Yinzhen did not trust her and was afraid that she would harm the children in the backyard.

Although she did have this plan, she would never be stupid enough to attack a pregnant woman at this critical juncture.

It is easy to give birth to a child but difficult to keep it alive. Sometimes a small cold can take a child's life.

Sighing in her heart, Dong E told herself to be patient. Since Yinzhen didn't trust her, what she should do now was to behave herself. She could only endure and wait, but she needed to have a child.

Thinking of this, Dong E's face showed a little more relief: "My Lord, you have considered everything very carefully. I will let my sister take care of the backyard first. When I was at home, I heard my mother say that it is not easy for a woman to get pregnant. I am very moved by your consideration for your wife and concubine.

How about this, pregnant women in the backyard don't have to come here every day to pay respects, so as to avoid being bumped on the road. In addition, I heard that the concubines in the harem only need to pay respects to the imperial concubine on the first and fifteenth day of every month. The rules of our backyard can't be bypassed by the palace. In the future, just come here once on the first and fifteenth day of every month."

Yinzhen didn't expect her to say such a thing.

It is the rule for concubines to pay their respects to the legitimate wife, even if they are pregnant. Yinzhen did not plan to ask Dong E to exempt concubines from the rule of paying their respects, unless the legitimate wife asked for it herself.

It can be said that Dong E was very tactful, which made Yinzhen feel a little better.

"Fujin, you don't have to be so tolerant."

Dong E smiled and explained: "It's not that I am tolerant, but I am also a lazy person. I hope you can help me."

Yinzhen had no choice but to nod and agree.

Because of Dong E's understanding, even though Yinzhen did not have a good impression of Dong E, he still gave her all the respect that a legitimate wife should have and stayed in her room for three consecutive days.

In such a difficult situation, Dong E began to plan how to break the impasse in the future.

But these have nothing to do with An Ning for now, she is now a regular customer.

In October, when the weather turned cold, Kangxi ordered his men to return to the palace.

Returning to Changchun Palace again, looking at the square house, An Ning felt suffocated. The Forbidden City was magnificent, but the living quarters of the concubines were not that good, which made people feel trapped. As soon as she came back, she began to think about when she could go out again.

People are always hard to be satisfied.

After two days of adapting, An Ning gradually got used to it.

Two months later, An Ning received the news that the Fourth Prince's concubine, Wusu, had given birth to a healthy baby boy. Kangxi was very happy to hear the news and immediately named the baby boy Hongyun.

Hearing the name Hongyun, I realized that this was originally the name of Concubine Li's son, but now it has become the name of Wusu's son.

The illegitimate eldest son is now eager to be given a name. It seems that Kangxi really hates his daughter-in-law Dong E.

As for Concubine De, she was even more "blatant". She gave out lavish rewards just to express her appreciation for Concubine Consort.

The reckless actions of Kangxi and Defei, the parents-in-law, made life in the Dong E family's backyard increasingly difficult.

She was not favored. Yinzhen was a man with a unique personality. If he loved her, he wanted her to live; if he hated her, he wanted her to die. Dong E had a very bad impression of him at the beginning.

In addition, his backyard was indeed flourishing, and no matter how well Dong E did, Yinzhen couldn't help but wonder if she had ulterior motives.

Knowing that Dong E's life was not going well, An Ning felt relieved.

Her pregnancy was well taken care of, and after returning to the palace, Kangxi still came to visit her often as before. Concubine Tong was tactful and knew that she was going to give birth in two months, so she was exempted from the visits.

Two months passed quickly and An Ning's due date was approaching.

An Ning was taking a walk and then she felt something wet.

"Chunlan, I am about to give birth. Go ask Madam Wulan to arrange for Madam Jisheng. Baiguo, help me to the delivery room."

An Ning gave the order very calmly. Chunlan and Baiguo just became nervous subconsciously for a moment, but they were not panicked at all. Then they did what they were supposed to do.

An Ning was helped into the delivery room, and Aunt Ulan also arrived with several midwives.

An Ning felt a pain in her stomach. She used to think that the most difficult thing in the world was the end of the world, but compared with the pain at this moment, she felt that giving birth was more difficult.

In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi has been very anxious recently. The reason is very simple, because the imperial physician said that An Ning is about to give birth.

Kangxi didn't even dare to go to the harem, for fear that one of the concubines would suddenly suffer from unbearable abdominal pain and cause a big commotion.

In the evening, he was reading a memorial absentmindedly, and then suddenly he felt a severe pain in his abdomen. Then the pain came in waves, and Kangxi knew that An Ning was probably about to give birth.

He hurriedly called out, "Liang Jiugong, come in."

Liang Jiugong came in hurriedly: "Your Majesty?!"

Kangxi's face turned pale. "I think Shupin is about to give birth. When someone comes to Changchun Palace, you go and watch them in person. Don't let anyone take advantage of the situation and harm Shupin and her baby. You must ensure Shupin's safety. Tell the public that there are important matters that the previous dynasty has to deal with. Do you understand?"

Liang Jiugong naturally understood, but looking at Kangxi's appearance, he couldn't help but worry: "I think the emperor is not well, do you want me to call the doctor over?"

He is a doctor, not an imperial physician, and he is kept in the Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi refused: "No, I can handle it."

Liang Jiugong: "Yes, I will definitely protect Concubine Shu and the emperor, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Sure enough, after a while, someone came from Changchun Palace to report that Shupin was about to give birth.

Liang Jiugong led his men to Changchun Palace with an anxious look on his face.

When he arrived, Concubine Tong also came.

"Your servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine. Long live Her Majesty."

Concubine Tong was not surprised to see Liang Jiugong, but she was a little surprised not to see Kangxi.

Kangxi did not have to be present when his concubines gave birth, but the favored concubines were always different. Considering how favored An Ning was, it was surprising that Kangxi did not come.
