The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 86 Yinti Has Changed (2)

For Yinti's active and unintentional approach, the Empress Dowager naturally liked him very tightly, reached out and touched Yinti's head, and said with a smile: "Good boy, Great Grandmother misses you too."

Saying so, the Empress Dowager rolled up her cuffs slightly, took a jade bracelet from her right hand, took Yinti's white and tender wrist, and put it on for him, "Grandmother has nothing to give you, this Just put the jade bracelet away."

The emperor looked at the scene in front of him, stared at Yinti and thought for a moment, then looked at Concubine Zhao and said softly: "Yinti seems to have lost weight a lot."

Hearing this, Concubine Zhao hurriedly put down her wine glass, and explained to the emperor: "Back to the emperor, my concubine has never neglected to take care of elder brother. It was elder brother who said that he ate too much meat when he was young, and he was a little fat. Some are unhealthy, so I planned my own diet, mainly vegetarian dishes on weekdays, and naturally lost a lot of weight after a long time."

In this regard, Yinti looked at the emperor, nodded obediently twice, and took the initiative to agree: "Huang Ama, it is my own proposal. Don't misunderstand Mrs. Zhao. During this time, my son has not only restricted his diet, but also strengthened his diet. After exercising, my physical condition is much better than before.”

The emperor was obviously stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help sighing: "It's really unexpected that Yinti is so self-disciplined now."

Seeing the group of people above chatting happily together, Yinfeng below remained unmoved.He was raised in Qianqing Palace, although the outside world said that he was brought up by the emperor himself, he was the most honorable son, and his personality was most similar to the emperor's, so he deserved his name as a prince.

But no one knew that the emperor was busy on weekdays and had little time to take care of Yinreng. Most of the time, Yinreng was taken care of by the eunuchs and imperial guards of Qianqing Palace. The so-called emotion also made Yinreng feel no wavering in his heart when he saw this picture of the intimate relationship between family members.

Concubine Yi looked at Yinreng who was standing alone in the center of the hall, motioned Jiaorong to get closer, and asked softly, "Is this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Why does he look so withdrawn?"

Upon hearing this, Jiaorong looked at Yinreng, and couldn't help thinking of what she had experienced in Qianqing Palace a long time ago because of serving Yinreng.Thinking of this, Jiao Rong pursed her lips and said, "After the death of Empress Renxiao, His Highness the Crown Prince has always been in a closed environment to grow up. Only someone told him how to become emperor, but no one cared whether he was happy or not. A child who grows up in such a state will naturally not learn how to handle things."

What's more, the Hesheli family's cultivation, sustenance and protection of Yinreng are too extreme. They instill in Yinreng all the time how he should win glory for his mother for the family. For a four or five-year-old child, it is really It's too depressing.

Then, all the princesses were brought up.The eldest princess Yuejun was not born to the emperor, but was adopted by the late emperor before the emperor ascended the throne. She is the orphan of his elder brother, and now she is also raised under the knee of Concubine Zhao. She has a calm and dignified personality, very much like an eldest princess.

The second princess, Yueqing, is the daughter of Ma Changzai. On weekdays, Ma Changzai pays much more attention to the prince than the princess. As a result, the second princess does not have a strong sense of presence in the harem, except for festivals. The emperor himself may often forget the existence of this princess.

As for the third princess, Yueyan, since her biological mother Zhaochang did not have a high status and her family background was not prominent, she did not receive much preferential treatment.

The Empress Dowager likes children very much. Looking at the gentle princesses around her, she suddenly remembered something. Her eyes swept to the concubines below, and finally her eyes stopped on Ma Changzai: "The Ai family heard that the third prince It's almost a hundred days since I was born, but Ai's family hasn't seen her yet."

Hearing this, Ma Changzai smiled, slowly got up from the wooden chair, and said to the Empress Dowager, "Changsheng fell asleep after eating today, and the concubine does not want to burden the palace servants again." I coaxed him over and over again, but I didn't bring him. When I have time in the future, my concubine will definitely take Changsheng to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager herself."

Regarding this, the Empress Dowager nodded slightly. Although she didn't speak, she acquiesced to Ma Changzai's answer.Just when the Empress Dowager was about to look away, Ma Changzai's smile suddenly widened, and he added: "However, my concubine has a happy event to tell the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

As soon as they heard the word "happy event", everyone present raised their heads, put down the cups in their hands, looked at Ma Changzai, and fell silent.The emperor also held the wine glass, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Happy event? Why is there a happy event?"

Ma Changzai looked much better than before, at least her face no longer looked exhausted and frustrated, but also had a little smile on her face. Her voice was also louder, with her head held high and full of confidence: " Your majesty, my concubine is happy."

At this moment, the concubines below subconsciously let out an exclamation, discussing why Ma Changzai was pregnant so frequently, and their eyes were full of envy.But smart people like the emperor and Jiao Rong frowned slightly at this moment.

It was less than half a year since Ma Changzai gave birth last time, and this time she was pregnant with her sixth child. Even if Ma Changzai was still young, she might not be able to bear such a high frequency of births.

But she herself seemed to be very optimistic, with a rare expression of joy from the heart and blush on her cheeks.

The Empress Dowager lived in the Old Summer Palace for a long time before, and she didn't know much about Ma Changzai's past experience. After hearing Ma Changzai's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: " Pregnancy is indeed a happy event, you are pregnant again just after giving birth to the prince, it is really a blessing."

Jiaorong looked at Ma Changzai's eyes and narrowed her eyes slightly. Concubine Yi entered the palace late, and she didn't know the complicated situation, so she silently glanced at Jiaorong, noticed what was wrong with her, and asked, "What's the matter?" ?”

Jiaorong glanced at Concubine Yi, and after thinking for a moment, she said softly: "It is well known in the palace that Ma Chang is pregnant, but her children never live long, and she is not physically strong. Consecutive births are too exhausting for the body, and Ma Changzai's reckless birth one by one may threaten her own health sooner or later."

Regarding this matter, the emperor seemed to have the same idea as Jiao Rong in a tacit understanding. He watched Ma Changzai's face become a little complicated, and then asked calmly, "Has the imperial doctor seen it?"

Ma Changzai smiled like a flower blooming again, and responded: "I have seen it, the concubine has been pregnant for nearly a month, and the fetal image is very stable."
