The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 12 The Wind Rises

Time flies, and Rouyin's belly grows bigger and bigger like an inflated ball. Her five-month-old belly is twice as big as that of her counterparts in the same month, which is shocking to see.

Rouyin held her round belly and walked slowly around the garden with the help of Nanny Wumu, who was sent by Concubine Tongjia. The timing was just right, as midsummer had just passed and the weather had turned slightly cooler. Now that she was pregnant and had free time, it was just right for her to take more walks and exercise.

Rouyin originally loved spicy food, and she loved it even more after she got pregnant. She suspected that the two babies in her belly also loved spicy food, and it was definitely not just her greed. Even though the Wang Madams knew that Fu Jin loved spicy food, they did not dare to let her eat too much. They could only limit the amount every day and coax their own Fu Jin to eat more after giving birth.

In fact, she took medicine to preserve the pregnancy, and the system had installed a protective halo that could monitor and protect the mother and child in real time. She knew that overeating would not affect her at all, but in order to reassure the maids and the master, she had no choice but to follow the common sense of pregnancy.

As the months progressed, Yinzhen became more anxious. Even Rouyin's previous advice was ineffective. He wished he could be by Fu Jin's side all the time every day. He even had to sleep on the floor alone at night for fear of crushing Rouyin. He often got up in the middle of the night to stare at her, causing Rouyin to wake up in the middle of the night and be frightened when she saw a standing figure.

When the emperor in the palace saw his fourth son, who was becoming increasingly thin, he reflected on himself and wondered if he had given the fourth prince too many official duties. He reduced the fourth prince's official duties appropriately and also rewarded him with many Chinese medicines and supplements.

During her pregnancy, Rouyin wore a light green loose skirt and sat on the swing that she had built the year before, swaying slightly. The cool autumn breeze on the cushioned swing was so comfortable.

Rouyin seemed to be leaning on the swing, but in fact, she was watching a movie on the system screen with great interest. Yinzhen came hurriedly at this time, and seeing Liu Qing and others who were about to report, he immediately pretended to shush and quietly hugged Rouyin, whose face was slightly plump. Rouyin consciously opened her eyes, "My Lord just came down from the court, and I should rest more..." Yinzhen gently blocked Rouyin's chattering mouth with his slender fingers.

Yinzhen stood up, picked up Rouyin and walked into the inner room, "Yin'er, why don't you sleep with your husband for a while." Rouyin looked at his dark circles and obediently lay down beside him. Unknowingly, she fell into a deep sleep.

When Rouyin woke up, it was not long before dinner time. She found Yinzhen sitting next to her reading a book seriously. Yinzhen noticed the moment Rouyin woke up and immediately called Su Peisheng to prepare dinner.

Rouyin looked at Yinzhen who was holding her attentively, and leaned obediently in his arms, waiting for meal.

Looking at the sour plum juice brought in advance by the kitchen, Rouyin licked her lips greedily. Yinzhen felt the temperature with one hand and immediately handed it to his lovely wife, scratching her nose lovingly. When all the dishes were served, he wanted to feed her everything. This phenomenon was not surprising in the Fourth Prince's mansion. Ever since Yinzhen fed his wife for the first time, Su Peisheng knew that his wife was someone who should not be offended even more than Yinzhen.

In the 29th year of Kangxi's reign, I don't know if it was because of the butterfly effect of Rouyin's arrival, but the prince became more and more anxious, frequently contacted ministers of the previous dynasty, and fought fiercely with the eldest prince. However, Kangxi was still strong. Although there were people who secretly supported the prince and some who stood for the eldest prince, there were more neutral officials. The minister Soetu from the prince's mother's family also acted more and more recklessly because of the prince's trust. Kangxi saw everything and became more vigilant and suspicious of the prince and the eldest prince.

But in the end, the prince's love for the prince prevailed. During a court session, the prince's party reported that the nephew of Minister Mingzhu, who was from the eldest prince's party, had occupied land and property. The prince's party was angry and took the opportunity to beat Mingzhu. Although Mingzhu's position as prime minister was not demoted, he was fined twenty lashes of the board, which almost took away Mingzhu's life. In this battle for the throne, the prince had a slight advantage, but what he did not expect was Kangxi's increasingly cold eyes when he looked at him.

Although the turbulent situation in the previous dynasty had little to do with the Fourth Prince, it still had some impact.

Yinzhen transferred twice as many guards to the eastern courtyard of the concubine's wife. Not counting the secret guards, the guards in public far exceeded the normal specifications of the concubine. But for him, protecting his wife and daughter was his duty.

Rouyin also felt the uneasy atmosphere in the palace, and told Liu Qing and others to go out as little as possible unless necessary to avoid causing trouble.
