The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

As the due date was approaching, Rouyin was holding her round belly and drinking a bowl of mung bean soup. The cool and refreshing mung bean soup was very comfortable even without ice. After drinking it, Rouyin propped up her head in boredom and lazily flipped through the miscellaneous books in front of her. This was a wild and interesting miscellaneous book that the Fourth Master found specially because he knew Rouyin liked to read. Although it was not as interesting as the systematic movies, it was also interesting.

Rouyin slammed the books on the table and said, "Liu Qing, go call Song Gege and Li Gege to come over and play mahjong together." Liu Qing and the others looked at the coquettish concubine with amusement and responded one after another. Looking at the beautiful concubine, they estimated that even if Rouyin wanted the moon in the sky, they would have to find a way to pick it down.

Rouyin called Huarui: "Hualui, go and bring over the deck of green bamboo horse cards in the small storeroom." Rouyin had come up with this deck of horse cards the winter before last, but she didn't want to play with it because it was cold, so it was left gathering dust in the small storeroom. Now she was very bored, and because her due date was approaching, the maids had confined her to the east courtyard, and it was uncomfortable for her to just wander around the courtyard, so she remembered this deck of horse cards.

It was just the time when Yinzhen was in court, and there were still two hours before he left court. It was just the right time for him to play with his two sisters. Rouyin thought cleverly that it was not because Rouyin was afraid of Yinzhen, but mainly because it was the first child, Yinzhen was very nervous, and he would nag a lot when he was nervous, and Rouyin found him annoying. I don't know why Yinzhen in the biography was a quiet and cold-faced prince, but in her story he became a man who talked too much and made her helpless.

When the two princesses arrived, Rouyin's horse cards were already set, but she was short of people. Seeing Song and Li rushing over, Rouyin's fox-like eyes stared at them like stars at night. Facing the affectionate eyes of Fu Jin, Song and Li sat down on both sides of Fu Jin with a hint of inner joy. She secretly wondered why Fu Jin was pregnant but her beauty was not worn out at all, but instead had an extra gentle temperament.

"My two sisters, you have to play with me today, or you will lose all your cards to me." Rouyin winked playfully. Facing her teasing, Song Gege pretended to be scared and covered her mouth with a handkerchief. "Sister, you have to let me play. I have never played this horse card before." Compared with Song Gege, who was also from a family of bondservants, Li Gege was more favored at home. She smiled confidently, "Sister, why don't you pick a prize? Why don't you take out some of your brewed osmanthus honey as a bet? Ever since I drank it once from you, I have been thinking about it day and night. I hope I can get a taste with my card skills."

This amused Rouyin and she smiled slightly, "Sister Li has been eyeing me for a long time, and she is particularly coveting my osmanthus honey. I wonder if this card skill can be as ambitious as this?"

Li said proudly, "Fujin, just get ready. I've been playing cards since I was a child. If the emperor hadn't banned gambling, I would have won every day at home."

Seeing this, Song Gege also intervened, "Then the two sisters have to give way to me, I don't want to lose everything."

As Rouyin listened to their conversations, her mood became better. The maids also secretly noticed their master's good mood. They were originally a little unhappy about the arrival of the two princesses, but now they were somewhat relieved.

After Rouyin briefly explained the slightly modified way of playing Horse cards, the two princesses were not stupid and they roughly learned how to play after playing one round. Although Rouyin knew how to count cards, she felt that it took away the fun. Even so, the two princesses could not beat her at all. After two rounds, Li Gege lost more than Song Gege. She realized that Li Gege's card skills were probably the result of her family's teasing.

Li Gege, who had lost several games in a row, became interested and said, "I didn't expect that Fu Jin and Sister Song are so good at playing cards. I can't beat them at all." Hearing this, Song Gege and Rouyin avoided her and secretly looked at each other, their eyes full of laughter.

Pleasant little games always easily waste time. Rouyin guessed that the Fourth Master was about to leave the court, so she called the two of them back in advance, and also asked Nanny Wang to prepare a jar of osmanthus honey for each of them and send it to their rooms.

Ma Jia, the nanny sent by Concubine Tong Jia, had served the Empress Dowager before, and later accompanied Empress Hesheli in childbirth. When she was about to retire, she was sent by Concubine Tong Jia to serve the Fourth Prince's wife in the mansion. She was a little unhappy in her heart, but when she saw Rouyin later, she immediately disappeared her complaints. She had heard that the Fourth Prince was beautiful, but there were countless beauties in the palace, how many of them could be kept well? Now she had to say that she was really good. The Fourth Prince was not only born with a breathtaking beauty, but also talented and smart. When she arrived at Rouyin's palace, she was grateful every day for being chosen, which gave her such a good fortune.

Today Rouyin wanted to play cards with some concubines. She was a little disapproving at first, worried that they would harm her. But when she saw Fu Jin acting like a spoiled child to her elders, she couldn't stand it. Nanny Ma Jia could only watch the two concubines' movements with extreme vigilance. If they made the slightest move, she would chop off the evil hand. She kept thinking in her heart that it was no wonder that the Fourth Prince favored Fu Jin so much!

After the two princesses Song and Li left, Ma Jia was really relieved. Rouyin said to her in a helpless soft voice, "Don't worry, Ma, there are so many people in my room, no one will hurt me, and the Fourth Master has stipulated that everyone who comes here must wash and search their clothes, how could anyone be so bold as to come to me? Besides, Princess Song and Princess Li have been with me for so long, they will never have any ulterior motives." Rouyin suddenly thought of Li Jinglan, the bondservant of Li Lihui who was awarded to the Fourth Prince by Concubine De in the year when her original body was pregnant with Honghui. Her eyes darkened. She really hoped that she could understand and be honest.

"Fujin is still too kind. There are some vicious plots in the secrets of the backyard. Fujin should be more careful." Ma Jia said earnestly. Liu Qing and others who had no experience in this also secretly raised their vigilance after hearing Ma Jia's story. Rouyin had to listen obediently under the careful persuasion of several people.

On the other side, Yinzhen had just finished dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of Works, and he returned to the mansion in a panic. He walked straight to the first room of the East Courtyard of the Fourth Lady and stopped only at the door. Su Peisheng, who was panting behind him, chased Yinzhen in a hurry until his master stopped and tidied himself up.

Yinzhen asked Su Peisheng, "Is there anything wrong with my body?"

Su Peisheng replied: "My master has always been dignified and elegant." Perhaps the more he cared about his image, the more he paid attention to his image. Yinzhen lowered his head and sniffed his collar. He felt a little sweaty after being tired. Thinking of his young wife's sensitive sense of smell after she became pregnant, he frowned slightly unconsciously.

"Su Peisheng, go back to the bedroom and wash up before coming to the lady." Yinzhen said again.

"Yes, my lord," Su Peisheng answered respectfully again.

After a lot of trouble, Yinzhen finally entered the East Courtyard of Fu Jin. When Rouyin saw him, she ran over with some surprise.

Seeing his young wife jogging towards him with a big belly, Yinzhen quickly hugged her and said, "Slow down, Yin'er, I won't run away." Only after hearing Rouyin's assurance did he hold her and sit back on the soft chair.

Rouyin said, "Master, I miss you so much." Then she lowered her head and snuggled in Yinzhen's arms. Perhaps influenced by female hormones, Rouyin smelled the cool fragrance on Yinzhen's body and felt a full sense of security.

Yinzhen looked back at her tenderly: "Me too, Yin'er, did the children bother you today? Are you hungry? I'll ask Su Peisheng to prepare the meal first."

Rouyin nodded, stood up and prepared to sit at the dining table. After taking a few steps, she felt a little wet under her skirt. Before Yinzhen noticed, Rouyin said, "Master, I think I'm about to give birth?!"
