Yan Wan is reborn as a legitimate wife: Curing Ruyi's Douyi syndrome

Gyeongin Palace

Yingpin and Kepin came to accompany Ruyi, and Jiangzhou took her pulse.

Yingpin and Kepin used to be close to Ruyi and looked down on other concubines. Now few people in the palace are willing to pay attention to them. After much thought, the two decided to get involved with Ruyi again.

Yingpin smiled and said, "I heard from the Imperial Observatory that the Imperial Noble Consort's baby is an auspicious one, and it will definitely be a prince."

The warning from the Imperial Observatory was expressly prohibited by Hongli, and only the auspicious son in front was heard.

Ruyi's smile faded slightly as she said, "The Emperor has complete faith in the Imperial Observatory, but I think it's better to just listen to it and not take it seriously."

Concubine Ke continued, "The Imperial Observatory says that your majesty's baby will definitely be a prince. Your majesty is truly blessed."

Ruyi laughed and said, "It's better to listen to Imperial Physician Jiang than to the Imperial Observatory."

Jiang Zhou nodded and said, "The Imperial Concubine's child is doing well, but as the months get older, you need to be careful when sitting or getting up. I'm afraid the child might be born prematurely."

Ruyi was surprised and asked, "How early?"

Jiang Zhou: "I'm afraid it will be soon. However, this baby is already seven months old. If the delivery goes smoothly, the little prince will be born safely. But the queen needs to be careful."

Rong Pei nodded and said, "It's always better to be careful."

Ruyi laughed and said, "Little Brother, you also said it was Little Brother, and the Imperial Observatory also said it was Little Brother. Is that true?"

Jiang Zhou: "Whether it's accurate or not, it's always 50% accurate."

The three of them laughed.

Ruyi smiled and said, "Do you really need to tell me this?"

Yingpin smiled and said, "In my opinion, the Imperial Noble Consort is blessed with great fortune, so she must be a prince."

Ruyi: "You are also a blessed person. Is Jingxuan well behaved?"

Jingxuan was the seventh princess born to Yingpin. In this life, there were no more concubines in the uterus, such as Wei Yanwan and Jin Yuyan. Yingpin kept the child, and Jingxuan became Yingpin's biological daughter.

Yingpin smiled and said, "He's very good. He doesn't cry or make a fuss. He just doesn't get too close to me. I guess he's too young."

Ruyi nodded and said, "The child is still young, and will definitely be close to you in the future."

Yingpin nodded and said, "I accept the good words of the Imperial Noble Consort."

(A Baozi said that all the children born to A-long will be counted in the order, so I will change it. Concubine Zhe’s second princess will be counted in the order, Jingse will be the third princess, and the rest will be postponed. Concubine Mei’s brother will not be counted in the order. You all know the reason...)

……

Gyeongin Palace

Ruyi went into labor, groaning in pain. Three maids were outside, holding basins of water, chatting. Ruyi's fetus was in an abnormal position and had to be turned before delivery. The maids were useless.

Nanny A: "You said that Imperial Doctor Jiang was right. The Imperial Concubine is indeed in premature labor. Counting the date, she still has more than a month to go."

Matron B: "The Imperial Concubine's fetus is in an abnormal position. This is a difficult birth."

Nanny C: "Nanny Tian here is the most experienced. She should be the one to correct the fetal position."

In the delivery room, Nanny Tian was sweating profusely as she turned Ruyi's baby over. Strangely, there was no movement in Ruyi's baby, just like the one before Concubine Shu's baby.

Grandma Tian felt a wave of despair. No way! How could she be so unlucky? To have a sick fetus twice?

Ruyi was turned into the right position by Grandma Tian. She was sweating profusely in pain and screaming in agony. Why didn't anyone tell her that childbirth would be so painful? Her stomach felt like a knife was twisting it.

Inside the Nuan Pavilion

Hongli paced back and forth restlessly, and the empress dowager sat silently, listening to Ruyi's hoarse cries in the delivery room.

Hongli said anxiously, "Wang Qin, I can't go into the delivery room. Can you call a nanny to ask why there's still no movement?"

Wang Qin: “Yeah.”

The Empress Dowager comforted him, "Emperor, don't worry. This is the Imperial Noble Concubine's first child, so it will take a while."

Hongli sighed, "But this child is only eight months old. We don't know what he will be like once he's born."

The Deputy Envoy of the Imperial Observatory said: "Your Majesty, I have calculated that the time when the Imperial Concubine's fetus began to move is also extremely auspicious. The Imperial Concubine's child will surely be an auspicious child, invaluable."

Hongli nodded and said, "Okay, if it's a princess, I will immediately confer the title of Princess Gulun. If it's a prince, I've even thought of a name for him, Yongji, to continue the family lineage."

The deputy envoy of the Imperial Observatory flattered him, "Ji, the emperor chose this name, which shows how much he values ​​it."

All the palaces are waiting for news.

Xianfu Palace

Fucha Chuying leaned back on the couch and asked, "It's already dawn, is there any news from the Imperial Concubine?"

Ah Ruo whispered, "I heard that she's been trying to give birth all night, but she hasn't given birth yet."

Lin Ruoyao gloated, "As the saying goes, seven lives and eight lives, I'm afraid the Imperial Concubine's pregnancy is in danger."

The plan of Concubine Zhe and the other two was made in secret without telling anyone else, but Ruyi's popularity was really bad, and the concubines who disliked Ruyi all gathered around the three of them.

Although Lin Ruoyao did not join the three-person Avengers Alliance, she could barely be considered a non-staff member. She often got together with Concubine Shen and others to plot against Ruyi. Now she was eagerly running to Concubine Zhe to wait for news.

Gyeongin Palace

Jiang Zhou asked anxiously outside the delivery room, "I've drunk a few bowls of this labor-inducing medicine. The dragon fetus may be young, but it's not too late. Why is there no movement yet?"

When Hongli heard Jiangzhou's question in the warm room, he nodded. The empress dowager couldn't bear it anymore and had gone back. Only Hongli and Su Lujun were still enduring.

When Hongli saw that Ruyi was unable to give birth to this baby, he asked Wang Qin to let Jingqin take charge of the government on his behalf. Since Jingqin won the battle against Junggar, the voices in the court opposing Jingqin's attendance at the court became smaller and smaller.

When Jingqin returned to Beijing this time, she was able to attend court with Yonghuang and Yongzhang. Since Hongli was unable to take time off due to Ruyi's birth, Jingqin was entrusted with an important task.

(It's quite sad. Jingqin put in a lot of effort to be able to stand in the court like the prince without any effort.)

Ruyi was in pain for a whole day and night and could not bear it any longer. She closed her eyes and fainted.

Grandma Tian exclaimed, patting Ruyi's face and shouting, "Your Majesty, you can't faint! If you faint, the prince won't be able to get out! Your Majesty! Wake up quickly."

Ruyi closed her eyes quietly, unwilling to wake up.

Ruyi didn't care about anything. She fainted and let others do the job. It was the same when the cold palace was poisoned and when the deer blood wine was drunk.

Seeing that she couldn't wake Ruyi, Grandma Tian shouted, "Doctor Jiang! Your Majesty! The Imperial Concubine has fainted!"

Hongli was drowsy and was awakened by Grandma Tian's shouting. Su Lujun also stood up and exclaimed, "Your Majesty!"

Hongli asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Lujun said anxiously, "The Imperial Concubine fainted. You can't faint during childbirth. If the mother has no strength, how can the child be born?"

Jiang Zhou hurried in and reported, "Your Majesty, I request your permission to perform acupuncture. Your Majesty has fainted, which is not conducive to childbirth."

Hongli: "Then go quickly!"

Jiang Zhou: "Yes."

Jiang Zhou hurried into the delivery room again, picked up a needle, and inserted it into Ruyi's painful point.

Ruyi was awakened by the pain and looked at the midwives with a confused look on her face.

Grandma Tian was indeed very experienced and shouted, "My Lady, listen to me and push hard. The baby will be out soon."

Ruyi endured the pain and listened to Grandma Tian's orders.

The child was finally born, and Ruyi fainted again.

Grandma Tian was frightened when she saw the child with purple bruises in her arms. She looked at the maids around her. The maids were all startled and looked at each other in despair.

Hongli noticed that there was no sound in the delivery room and asked, "Why is there no movement? Is she giving birth?"

Su Lujun asked in confusion, "Why is there no sound of a child crying?"

The curtain of the warm room was lifted, and Jiang Zhou and the maids stumbled in and knelt down with sad faces.

Everyone: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Hongli was anxious: "What's wrong?"

Nanny Tian trembled and said, "To answer the emperor's question, the imperial concubine had a difficult labor and it took a long time before she gave birth to a little prince."

Hongli breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother? That's good."

The deputy envoy said: "He is indeed a young prince."

Nanny Tian said sadly, "But, but the little prince was already dead when he landed."

Hongli: "How come?"

Nanny Tian trembled and said, "Your Majesty, when the labor began, the little prince didn't move in the Empress's belly. Moreover, the Imperial Concubine just fainted again, and now the Empress is having a difficult and premature labor, so... so..."

Seeing Hongli was devastated, Su Lujun pressed on, "What about the Imperial Noble Consort? How is the Imperial Noble Consort?"

Jiang Zhou: "The Imperial Concubine fainted due to exhaustion during childbirth. I have given her some ginseng soup. She will be fine after a short rest."

Su Lujun said thankfully: "It's good that the Imperial Concubine is fine. The little prince has already been in trouble, and the Imperial Concubine must not be in trouble!"

The deputy envoy of the Imperial Observatory and several maids took Su Lujun's words to heart.

Hongli said in grief and indignation, "How could my little prince be like this?"

Hongli looked at the deputy envoy of the Imperial Observatory again, walked up to him and gave him a hard kick, then asked, "Didn't you say that this baby is an auspicious child?"

The deputy envoy of the Imperial Observatory was kicked by Hongli. He was glad that he had observed the celestial phenomena last night. He had calculated that he would suffer a bloody disaster today, so he wore thick clothes and entered the palace.

The deputy envoy of the Imperial Observatory quickly got up and cried, "Your Majesty, I did calculate that the Imperial Concubine's pregnancy is an auspicious one, but I also said that this pregnancy is in conflict with the Imperial Concubine's."

The maids all begged for mercy.

Nanny A: "Your Majesty, we have done our best, but the little prince was already in an abnormal position in your womb!"

Matron B: "Your Majesty had a difficult and premature birth, and we servants cannot guarantee a safe birth!"

Matron C: "The queen has fainted, and we servants can't help..."

Everyone was talking at once and trying to put the blame on Ruyi.

The deputy envoy of the Imperial Observatory also jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to say this. The young prince died at birth, but the Imperial Concubine only fainted due to exhaustion. Doesn't this prove my motto: the son dies but the mother lives?"

Grandma Tian whispered, "Your Majesty, please forgive my boldness. There is a folk saying that if a woman dies after giving birth, it means that the mother has a hard life and has brought bad luck to the child..."

Hongli said angrily, "You are talking nonsense and you dare to slander the Imperial Noble Consort."

Nanny A echoed, "Your Majesty, we dare not. This is indeed a popular saying!"

Matron B continued, "If the mother dies and the son lives, it is the son who brings disaster upon the mother. If the mother lives and the son dies, it is the mother who brings disaster upon the son!"

Seeing these people acting beyond their normal abilities and becoming increasingly bolder, Su Lujun quickly stopped them, saying, "Shut up! Is that what you should be saying? You're not doing your job properly and yet you're still being stubborn. Get out of here! Anyone who isn't doing their job properly will be fined three months' salary!"

Everyone left quickly.

Hongli turned his back, beat his chest and stamped his feet, and did not care about Su Lujun's strange behavior.

Su Lujun stepped forward to comfort him, "Your Majesty, there's no need to take these people's words to heart. They're just trying to save their lives. The Imperial Concubine is getting older, and it's not easy for her to have children."

Hongli turned around and stared at Su Lujun and asked, "Do you also think that Ruyi was wrong in this matter?"

Su Lujun knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, I never said that. Childbirth is like going through hell for a woman, so how can you blame the Imperial Concubine?"

Hongli turned away and left. Su Lujun knelt on the ground with her head down, saying nothing.
