The Queen of the TV Series: Take turns to sit in my house this year
Chapter 45 Feng Ruozhao 16
However, no matter how heartbroken Zhen Huan was, the emperor's treatment of the harem only stopped there.
As winter came, a heavy snow covered the Forbidden City in silver. After a short period of confinement, Zhen Huan gradually came out of the pain of losing her child with the comfort of Concubine Hui.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to continue to indulge in the pain of losing her son, but now there are several high-quality Chunyuan figures in her harem.
Ning Guiren, who was born as a horse trainer and slave, was a substitute for Chun Yuansheng and was surrounded by Nian Shilan. During the period when Nianpin fell out of favor and Wanfei was ill, she became the emperor's favorite person.
Rou Changzai, a maid-in-waiting in the Old Summer Palace, was the soul substitute of Empress Chunyuan, and perfectly captured the charm and temperament of Empress Chunyuan when she was young.
Mi Changzai, who was born as a geisha, was the dance stand-in for Empress Chunyuan, and her back view was very similar to that of Empress Chunyuan.
With these three people around, if Zhen Huan continues to be depressed, it is hard to guarantee that she will not be forgotten by the emperor.
Besides, her enemies are still alive and well. If she doesn't cheer herself up, who will help her get revenge?
Of course, the most crucial thing is the latest news that Concubine Hui brought to her when she came to see her today: the tribes on the border are ready to move, and she is afraid that the previous dynasty will use military force again.
The Emperor is about to appoint the Nian family to his position, so how long will it take for Concubine Nian to regain his favor?
As for the Empress, the end of the year is approaching and the Emperor is going to entertain members of the royal family and close ministers. As the mother of the country, the Empress has no obvious faults, so how can she not attend?
Zhen Huan's two biggest enemies are about to make a comeback, and she can no longer remain depressed.
Soon, Concubine Wan regained favor thanks to her prayers in the snow.
There is only so much favor in the harem, and there is only one emperor. Zhen Huan got more, so naturally others got less.
As Zhen Huan herself said: To have all the favor in one body also means to have all the resentment in one body.
She had to serve the emperor and fight back against the collective attacks from Concubine Yi, Concubine Li, Concubine Fang, Mi Changzai and others. She was somewhat overwhelmed by the power in the palace, so she asked the emperor to let Concubine Hui help her manage the palace affairs.
As long as it did not involve the affairs of the previous dynasty, the emperor always agreed to her request.
Concubine Hui was right. Not long after Zhen Huan regained favor, Nian Gengyao led his troops to war again.
As Nian Gengyao's most beloved sister, Nian Shilan naturally regained her former favor.
From what the emperor said, it seems that he wants to restore Concubine Nian to the throne during this year's New Year's Eve.
Zhen Huan was extremely angry, but she could do nothing about it. Who told her that she didn't have a good brother who could fight?
But before Concubine Nian was restored to the throne, the Forbidden City was hit by a catastrophe - plague.
The plague came with great force and infected many palace maids and eunuchs in just a few days, and even some concubines were unfortunately infected!
For a time, people in the Forbidden City were in panic and everyone felt insecure.
Fortunately, Dr. Gu Changqing, who joined the Imperial Medical Bureau last year, is very experienced in dealing with the plague. This Dr. Gu is also a fellow student of Feng Ruozhao's trusted Dr. Huang Wenye.
Therefore, after the epidemic broke out in the palace, Feng Ruozhao summoned Gu Changqing and Huang Wenye to study the prescription day and night. Relying on his memories of his previous life, Feng Ruozhao pointed out the general prescription, and then Gu and Huang worked together to increase or decrease the medicinal materials and consider the dosage. After half a month, Feng Ruozhao brought the two of them and the epidemic prescription to solve Fat Ju's urgent problem.
Pang Ju immediately ordered the Imperial Hospital to prepare the medicine according to the prescription and distribute it to everyone in the palace.
As the medicinal soup was distributed, the plague was gradually brought under control. Everyone in the capital breathed a sigh of relief, especially the palace servants and the common people in the capital, who were filled with gratitude to Doctor Gu and Concubine Jing.
As a result, Gu Changqing and Imperial Physician Huang were promoted to the positions of Left and Right Judges of the Imperial Hospital, and Feng Ruozhao herself was elevated to the Manchu Army's Plain White Banner by imperial decree. Because of her meritorious service and the fact that she was the only one to be elevated, Yixiu, though displeased, was unable to stop it.
(After Zhen Huan's miscarriage, the Emperor discovered that Zhang Mi, the former director of the Imperial Hospital, had colluded with the Empress to murder concubines, and he "accidentally" fell into the water and died on his way to work.)
Once the plague is over, New Year's Eve will be approaching.
On the 28th day of the 12th lunar month in the third year of Yongzheng's reign, the pregnant Wu promised to give birth before New Year's Eve. Feng Ruozhao waited outside the delivery room for nearly six hours and finally heard the baby cry.
"Congratulations, His Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Mrs. Wu, for the safe birth of a little princess!"
The midwife came out of the delivery room holding the baby and told Feng Ruozhao the good news.
Feng Ruozhao opened the baby's swaddling clothes and saw an ugly red-skinned monkey, and laughed.
"This child looks healthy," he said, and then he covered the baby with swaddling clothes and asked the wet nurse to take the baby and take good care of it. Then he asked, "How is Wu Da Ying?"
"Don't worry, Madam. Wu Da Ying fell asleep due to exhaustion, but he is fine."
"Okay, Concubine Wu has given birth to a daughter. The people in Xianfu Palace will be rewarded with a monthly salary. Hanzhu, you and Eunuch Xia will go and tell the emperor the good news."
"Yes, Madam, I will go and tell the Emperor the good news right away."
Ruyi also quickly stuffed the prepared wedding money into Xiao Xiazi's hand.
Wu promised that the delivery would take too long, so the emperor came and stayed for half an hour before returning to the palace, leaving Xiao Xiazi here to wait for the results.
Feng Ruozhao stayed up all night, and the emperor must have gotten up and washed up by now. If Hanzhu and the others walked quickly, they should be able to report the good news to the emperor before he went to the grand court meeting.
As Hanzhu and Xiao Xiazi left Xianfu Palace, the ladies in other palaces also received the news - Concubine Wu of Xianfu Palace had given birth to a princess.
In the Yikun Palace, Concubine Nian was awakened by the noise outside and flew into a rage, "It's just a daughter, is it worth them being so happy?"
But despite saying so, Nian Shilan was actually envious to death. She leaned on the bed, tears streaming down her face, "Why can others give birth, but I can't?"
Songzhi felt very sad when she saw this.
In Jingren Palace, the Queen's face was as gloomy as water. Jianqiu could only comfort the Queen. After all, she was just a princess, and her mother was from a bondservant family. She would not amount to anything. Besides, giving birth to her was a small matter, but whether she could be raised to adulthood was another matter!
Huichun even suggested that Wu Da Ying had a low rank and according to palace rules, she could not raise a princess personally. The Queen Mother of Xianfu Palace, Concubine Jing, already had the Sixth Prince, and the Sixth Prince had always been in poor health. Concubine Jing was already very busy taking care of the Sixth Prince and managing palace affairs, and she was afraid that she would not have the energy to raise another princess.
The queen thought this was a good idea. Although she failed to abort Wu's pregnancy, there was still a long way to go. Being able to give birth did not necessarily mean that she could raise the baby.
However, no matter how happy the master and servant were in their discussion, it still depended on whether Feng Ruozhao agreed.
The emperor's decree came quickly because Feng Ruozhao had asked him for mercy before. If Wu agreed that this baby was a daughter, she would raise her in Xianfu Palace and she would be willing to be the little princess's adoptive mother. After the little princess was born, Wu would take care of her personally so that she and her daughter would not have to endure the pain of separation.
The emperor thought of how he was raised under the name of Empress Xiaoyi Ren and how he had always had a rift with the empress dowager. He did not want his children to suffer the same hardship as him, so he agreed.
When Hanzhu and Xiao Xiazi went to the Yangxin Palace to report the news, the emperor had even written the imperial edict, but had not yet stamped it.
Upon learning that Wu had successfully given birth to a princess and both mother and daughter were safe, the emperor was overjoyed. He immediately stamped his seal and asked Su Peisheng to go to Xianfu Palace in person to convey his order.
So just as the Queen's people arrived at Xianfu Palace to take the little princess away, they met Su Peisheng who delivered the imperial decree - Wu was promoted to Changzai for her contribution in giving birth, and was given the title: Xi.
The little princess was raised by Concubine Jing and did not have to be sent to Qianxi Wusuo before she was six years old.
Jianqiu was filled with anger as she listened to the imperial edict. This Concubine Jing was actually trying to make trouble for their master!
His gaze crept up on Xi Changzai, who was crying with joy, and the malicious look made Wu shudder.
