Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Chapter 259 Hongjin?

Although she and Yinreng had not used contraception since Feng Sheng'e was officially enlightened, she had not been pregnant for more than a year, so she did not worry too much about it.

In addition, with so many things happening in the past two years, she didn't focus on the issue of pregnancy. Unexpectedly, Nanny Sun said that she might be pregnant!

In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Feng Wenyuan, the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital, came to the Eastern Palace with his medicine box and the eunuch.

After half a stick of incense.

Under the worried and expectant gaze of everyone, Feng Wenyuan congratulated with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Princess, you are pregnant."

"I just took your pulse and confirmed that you are now nearly two months pregnant."

Everyone in Huaqing Palace bowed and congratulated the Crown Princess.

"Congratulations, Princess. Congratulations, Princess, on being pregnant again."

Wanyu smiled brightly and said, "Madam Sun, go find Wang Shun in the front yard and ask him to go find the prince himself and tell him the good news."

"Also, all those who serve the master in the front courtyard and back hall will be rewarded with three months' worth of monthly silver."

"The rest of the palace ladies will be rewarded with monthly silver."

"After I give birth safely, I will reward you handsomely!"

When everyone heard that there was a reward, they were even happier.

He kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude for the reward.

Wanyu smiled and said to Feng Wenyuan, "I would like to trouble you, Doctor Feng, to protect my pregnancy in the future."

"Don't worry, Imperial Physician Feng. I will never treat you unfairly."

"Xia Lu, Imperial Doctor Feng has diagnosed my pregnancy. I'll give him three large purses as a reward!"

Xia Lu said respectfully, "Yes."

Then he took out three purses embroidered with exquisite patterns and handed them to Doctor Feng.

Yuqing Palace is a purse reward, with three levels of rewards: large, medium and small.

The large purse was made of the finest fabric with the most exquisite pattern, and contained ten taels of silver.

A medium-sized purse made of ordinary cloth with a common pattern, containing five taels of silver.

The small purse was made of ordinary cloth without any pattern, and contained two taels of silver.

Doctor Feng was overjoyed. "Thank you for the reward, Crown Princess. I will do my best to take good care of the baby in your womb."

As the prince's trusted imperial physician, he would often come to Yuqing Palace to check the pulses of his three masters.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have always been generous, and he always has a big purse in his pocket when he plays the peace card.

So he knew the weight of a big wallet.

Three big purses are thirty taels!

The annual allowance of silver promised to the master was only thirty taels.

【Good luck this time, I made a lot of money! 】

I hope that good things like this will happen more often in the future.

.........

After seeing off Doctor Feng, Wanyu touched her belly with a happy smile on her face.

Not long after, Crown Prince Yinreng returned to Yuqing Palace with a solemn expression and quick steps.

After he entered the back hall, his solemn expression disappeared instantly and he excitedly hugged Wanyu from behind.

"Xiao Yu'er, we are going to have a baby again."

As he spoke, he rubbed her forehead with his chin lovingly.

Wanyu turned around and looked at the man holding him, nodding at him with a smile on her lips.

"Ah."

"Baocheng is going to be my father again, and Fengsheng'e is going to be my brother."

"Is Baocheng Gao happy?"

Yinreng grinned, unable to hide the smile on his face.

"Happy!"

At this time, Yinreng had completely forgotten the advice his father had given him on being a king: do not show your emotions on your face, and do not let others know what is on your mind.

Amidst Wanyu's exclamation, he picked her up and walked towards the soft couch.

He gently placed her on the couch, carefully took off the flower pot soles on her feet, and then took a thin blanket and placed it on her legs.

"You are not even in March yet, and it's still February. The weather is cold, don't catch a cold."

Wanyu said with a smile: "I know."

"It's not my first pregnancy. I have experience now."

Yinreng smiled foolishly and said, "We can't be careless about that."

"Knowing that he's going to be a big brother, Feng Sheng'e must be happy."

"By the way, when Zhang Xi just said you were pregnant, Khan Ama also knew about it."

"Khan Ama is very happy to know that you are pregnant again."

"These days Khan Ama has been telling me about the contents of the Twenty-Four Histories."

"We happened to be discussing the Book of Jin today, and Khan Ama felt that this child had a connection to the character 'Jin,' so he suggested that if the child is born a prince, he should be named 'Hongjin.'"

(The "Twenty-Four Histories" is a collective term for the twenty-four official histories of ancient China, also known as the "Official History." These include "Records of the Grand Historian," "Book of the Later Han," "Records of the Three Kingdoms," "Book of Jin," and "Book of Song." They date from the legendary Yellow Emperor period to the 17th year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign in the Ming Dynasty. They cover various aspects of ancient Chinese politics, economy, military affairs, thought, culture, astronomy, and geography.)

Seeing that the young lady's expression was not right, he thought that she also liked this word, so he continued to speak.

"'Jin' is mentioned in both the Tuan and Xiang chapters of the Book of Changes."

"The Tuan says: 'Jin' means to advance. Light emerges from the earth, flowing smoothly and beautifully into the great brightness; it advances gently and moves upward."

(Translation: Jin means progress and ascent. As the sun rises above the earth, all things on earth obey and depend on the sun to grow, growing gently and upward.)

"The Xiang says: 'Brightness comes out of the ground, it represents progress; the gentleman uses it to make his virtue known."

(Translation: The sun rises from the ground, symbolizing progress; a gentleman should also display his noble virtues.)

(Both the Tuan Zhuan and the Xiang Zhuan are important components of the Book of Changes. Together with the text of the Book of Changes, they constitute the rich connotations of the Book of Changes. The Book of Changes includes the Zhou Yi, the Lianshan Yi, and the Guizang Yi, of which only the Zhou Yi has been preserved.)

At this time, Wanyu didn't listen to Yinreng's nonsense at all.

A sentence kept playing in her mind:

From now on, the little prince will be named Hongjin!

From now on, the little prince will be named Hong Jin! !

From now on, the little prince will be named Hong Jin!!!

It was like a bolt from the blue exploding on her head, shattering all her beautiful illusions.

It was not until this moment that she realized that she was actually following the same path as the Crown Princesses in history!

Hongxi, Hongjin!

Aren’t these the names of the two surviving sons of Crown Prince Yinreng in history?!

She thought she had been changing the fate of the Eastern Palace and the future of Baocheng and the children, but it turned out to be all her delusion?

She has been moving forward unconsciously under the turning of the gears of history, and has not broken through the shackles as she thought!

She broke out in a cold sweat on her back.

Then he suddenly grabbed Yinreng's hands, stared at him with his eyes, and spoke with rapid breathing.

"I disagree!"

"Not Hongjin!"

"His name is not Hong Jin!"

"Baocheng, his name is not Hongjin, I don't want him to be called Hongjin!"

"Promise me! Promise me! Okay, Yinreng?"

"Please, please!"

"Go tell Khan Ama not to call him Hongjin!"

Feeling the stinging pain on his wrist, he looked at the young lady staring at him with wide eyes, her face showing an extremely anxious and crazy expression.

Yinreng was very worried, so he hugged the person in his arms and comforted him repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, not Hongjin."

"Don't worry, if you don't like it, we won't use this name."

"Don't worry, I'll find a way. If you don't like this name, we can change it."

Wanyu said stubbornly: "Promise!"

Although Yinreng didn't know why the concubine was so opposed to this name, he still nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I promise!"

After receiving Yinreng's assurance, Wanyu suddenly burst into tears.

She hugged Yinreng's waist tightly, crying silently in his arms and sobbing softly.

"You promised me, so you have to keep it, understand?"

"Otherwise I won't forgive you."

Yinreng hugged her trembling body tightly, patted her back gently, and carefully calmed her sudden outburst of intense emotions.
