A Crossover of Film and Television: Miao Miao's Life Transmigration

Because Su Luyun accompanied Hongli to the Yuanmingyuan, she had little freedom and could only stay in her own small courtyard. In order not to disturb the ladies of the harem, she tried to minimize the time she spent outside.

The Old Summer Palace was indeed a summer resort, and Su Luyun felt it was much cooler than her previous residence.

When the prince first arrived at the Yuanmingyuan, he had to go to the Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall every day to handle state affairs.

Su Luyun was much happier at Yuanmingyuan. She didn't have to pay her respects, and the emperor's concubines wouldn't even see a little princess like her. Su Luyun could just stay in her courtyard and do whatever she wanted.

Su Luyun began her happy life in the Yuanmingyuan. She would play chess, play the zither, and paint in her spare time. She even had the prince prepare a small kitchen for her. One of the second-class maids assigned to her, Keyue, was very good at making pastries.

Qingying indulged Aruo in stealing other people's pastries. The prince felt sorry for Su Luyun and compensated her by not only giving her her own small kitchen but also allocating Keyue to her.

Two weeks later, news came that Gao Xiyue was pregnant and was almost two months along.

The prince did not return to the Prince Bao's residence, since the emperor was still at the Yuanmingyuan and needed to attend court every morning. He only sent Wang Qin to the residence to deliver a reward to Gao Xiyue.

In Guiyue Courtyard.

Gao Xiyue continued to have the imperial physician help her recuperate, though she didn't have high hopes of conceiving.

Physician Chen respectfully took Princess Gao's pulse, his face solemn. He gestured for Princess Gao to switch hands, and a quarter of an hour later...

Finally, Physician Chen lowered his hand, a smile on his face: "The pulse is smooth and even, like pearls rolling on a plate. Congratulations, Princess Gao! This is a pregnancy pulse!"

Gao Xiyue's face was filled with shock, and she stood there, her mind still reeling.

Mo Xin was smarter than Gao Xiyue, and quickly asked, "Is it true, Imperial Physician? Is our Princess really pregnant?"

Despite being questioned repeatedly, Physician Chen remained unperturbed, nodding with a smile and saying, "Yes, Princess Gao is almost two months pregnant."

Mo Xin thought of the joke that Qing Ying, the concubine, had made because of her pregnancy, and quickly asked, "Imperial Physician Chen, how is our princess's health? And what precautions should be taken during her pregnancy? Please explain in detail, Imperial Physician Chen."

Physician Chen nodded and said, "Gege is in poor health and it is not easy for her to conceive. She needs careful recuperation. This old minister will prescribe a medicine to stabilize her pregnancy."

After speaking, Moxin led Physician Chen to the study to prescribe medicine and write down precautions.

Xingxuan looked at the still stunned princess and said happily, "Princess, you've always longed for a child, and now that child has finally arrived."

Gao Xiyue came to her senses and gently touched her belly. There really was a child inside. Qingying had been pregnant and given birth to a little princess a while ago, which Gao Xiyue envied.

The two women had entered the manor with the Fujin for many years, but she had never been happy. She was incredibly frustrated and was even mocked by Aruo as a hen without eggs. She had a fierce argument with Qingying, and Qingying's nonchalant attitude was an admission of agreement with Aruo's words and her sarcastic remarks.

Now she's finally pregnant, and her wish has come true. (Don't be surprised; that's how women in ancient times felt.)

Xingxuan continued, "After many years in the household, the princess is finally pregnant. The master is very worried. The princess should write to the master and tell him this good news."

Gao Xiyue smiled gently, her eyes sparkling with tenderness, and said, "Yes, Father has been longing for this child for a long time. If Father knew that I was doing well in the mansion, Father would be at ease."

"Xingxuan, go prepare some paper. I need to write a letter to my father, and also to the Prince. He will be very happy to know that I am pregnant."

"Okay, Princess."

After saying that, Xingxuan ran to get some paper. When Gao Xiyue was almost finished writing, Moxin took the pregnancy-preserving medicine and pregnancy precautions left by Physician Chen and went into the inner room.

"Princess, this is the prescription left by Physician Chen, and there are some other matters as well."

Mo Xin continued, "Princess, have you sent someone to inform the Fujin (the wife of the deceased) about your pregnancy?"

Gao Xiyue looked up and said with annoyance, "I was too happy just now and forgot to inform the Princess Consort. Moxin, go to the main courtyard and tell the Princess Consort later."

Fucha Langhua looked at Moxin, who was filled with joy, and said that Gao Xiyue was almost two months pregnant. She had to hold her hands tightly to keep herself from losing her composure.

Fucha Langhua generously rewarded Moxin and also asked Lianxin to go to her storeroom to select some gifts to send to Gao Xiyue later.

After everyone else had left, Fucha Langhua was in a daze. She had clearly given the gifts to Gao Xiyue and Qingying Linglingxiang, but she never expected that both of them would be pregnant.

Fucha Langhua thought of how Qingying had almost taken her place as the primary consort. Although Lady Gao was dependent on her, her father was the emperor's confidant and had more favor with the emperor than Lady Fucha. Her mind was in turmoil.

Su Lian comforted her, "Madam, don't worry too much. Even if you are pregnant, you may not be able to give birth. Why don't you write to Madam Fucha? Madam Fucha will surely have a solution."

Fucha Langhua felt a sense of helplessness. As she was thinking, a sudden pain came from her abdomen. She was very uneasy about this pregnancy. She had started burning mugwort in June, and the imperial physician also said that this pregnancy would be very difficult.

Qingying got pregnant more than a month earlier than her; it's only September now.

Su Lian noticed that Fucha Langhua's condition was not right, so she quickly sent a maid to fetch the royal physician and the imperial physician, and sent someone to fetch a midwife.

Su Lian led Fucha Langhua toward the delivery room.

Upon receiving the news, the women of the mansion all went to the main courtyard to guard it. Qingying was still in her postpartum period, and there was no one to oversee the mansion, so Gao and Jin were left to guard the courtyard.

Fucha Langhua endured pain and loneliness for a day and a night before giving birth to a little princess. However, the little princess died shortly after birth, and Fucha Langhua fainted from grief.

The next day, upon receiving the news, the prince requested leave from the emperor and returned to the Prince Bao's residence.

In the main courtyard, Fucha Langhua looked on with a sense of loss as she thought of the little princess who died shortly after birth. Her first child had also passed away just a few days after birth.

Thinking of this, Fucha Langhua silently shed tears. Had she done too many bad things, causing retribution to fall on this child?

Su Lian comforted her, "My dear wife, you are still in confinement after childbirth, you must not shed tears. Think of the Second Prince and the First Princess."

Su Lian managed to persuade Fucha Langhua to be a little happier.

The prince entered the inner room of the main courtyard and comforted her, "My lady, you can have more children, and you still have the second prince and the eldest princess!"

The prince and Fucha Langhua communicated through a screen. The prince said a few words, telling his wife to rest assured and recuperate, and to take over the management of the mansion once she was healthy.

The prince spent some time with his wife, then went to Fuying Courtyard to visit Qingying and the second princess Jingning, before spending some time in his study.

In the afternoon, at the Keigetsu Courtyard.

Gao Xiyue sat there unwillingly and said, "Your Highness, as soon as I returned to the manor, I went to see the First Consort and the Second Consort. I wonder when Your Highness will come to see me."

Xingxuan quickly teased, "Princess, you're pregnant, the Prince will definitely come to Guiyue Courtyard to see you."

Gao Xiyue touched her belly worriedly, murmuring, "The Princess Consort is healthier than me, but after giving birth, she..."

"I'm really worried about the baby in my belly, my health isn't good..."

Before Gao Xiyue could finish speaking, Moxin and Xingxuan understood what Gao Xiyue meant. Moxin had a sudden inspiration and suggested, "Princess, why don't we tell Master to find a female physician to take good care of you and help you with your pregnancy? What do you think?"

Gao Xiyue was very moved by Moxin's words and said, "Yes, I'll ask Father to find me a female doctor. Xingxuan, go and prepare the paper."
