Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

Although Zhen Huan's departure from the palace to practice cultivation was a major event that shocked the harem, it was not spread for long after the emperor and the queen mother deliberately suppressed it. Qi Concubine was reprimanded by the emperor as a long-tongued woman for making unreasonable comments about Wan Concubine's departure from the palace. Everyone in the later palace knew that the emperor did not want to mention this matter, so they only dared to discuss it secretly in private.

Concubine Jing has the sixth elder brother, who protects her like an eyeball every day, and has to personally handle all the food and daily life. However, within a month, several servants of Xianfu Palace were dismissed. By now, everyone knew that Concubine Jing had no regard for Liu. Brother's love is like a treasure.

The emperor recently intended to let the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother join the rotation of the six ministries in the court, and often let the two elder brothers sit in the Qinzheng Palace to observe the emperor's political discussions with the ministers.

Unbeknownst to others, Concubine Qi was overjoyed. Even though her position was not high, her son had grown up and was the eldest son of the emperor. She thought her foundation was solid and solid.

Sure enough, after the two elder brothers sat in on the political affairs for ten days, it became known that the third elder brother had a reputation for being studious, inquiring, and respectful to his ministers. However, the fourth elder brother was unknown. Concubine Qi was even more happy. Every day when she paid her respects at Jingren Palace, she had to wear her pigtails. Up to the sky.

The Queen felt like a lump in her throat and a light on her back when she saw Qi Concubine's proud look. But he also knew that Concubine Qi was stupid and that the third elder brother was not as talented as he was. If the Queen took action, Concubine Qi and her son would be the easiest to deal with.

When Xia Dongchun heard about this, he just curled his lips and smiled. The third elder brother was dull and the fourth elder brother was smart. This was the reputation of the two elder brothers when they were in the study. It made no sense that after entering the court, the fourth elder brother became unknown, while the third elder brother was rumored to be Come out with great fame.

There is only one possibility, Xia Dongchun thought, the fourth elder brother is hiding his clumsiness. Not only that, maybe the third elder brother is famous, and the fourth elder brother can also help him.

Although it is too early to discuss a heir apparent, there are many elder brothers in the harem.

The backgrounds of the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother are not enough.

The fifth elder brother is naughty again.

The sixth elder brother was raised in the Jingfei Palace.

The seventh elder brother was born to Concubine Chang.

The eighth prince was raised by the queen.

There are still concubines named Hui, and the concubine Nian is still pregnant with a dragon fetus.

I don’t know how many princes and princesses will be born in the future.

Qi Concubine's mother's family was withered after being convicted, her status was not high, and she was not favored by the emperor.

Xia Dongchun felt that Qi Concubine was happy too early, and she didn't even know that the third elder brother was being used as a gunman.

If Xia Dongchun knew Qi Bin's true thoughts, it would be even more unbelievable.

Now the position of the fourth concubine is still vacant, and Qi Concubine has always had the idea of ​​​​resetting her position.

The third elder brother performed well. Perhaps the emperor would be happy and reinstate her as a concubine. Concubine Qi would laugh out of her dreams.

Since the queen raised the eighth prince, she has been much colder to concubine Qi and the third prince. She prefers the Ruigui people who are pampered but have no children, who are not threatening and can work for her.

In Jingyang Palace, An Lingrong was sitting quietly mixing incense.

Bao Que was waiting on the side, and there was also a palace maid Yan Xin beside her. The queen saw that there were few people around her, so she specially asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to recruit her.

"Yan Xin, go to the flower house and get some scarlet fan roses. I heard they are a new variety cultivated by the flower house."

"Yes." Yan Xin hesitated for a moment, then took the order and left.

"Little Master, you have almost used the incense before. Do you want to continue using it?" Bao Que asked.

"Of course I have to use it, otherwise, how can I keep the emperor." An Lingrong said calmly without raising his head.

"How dare you, slave? This incense is so effective. I wonder if this incense will harm the emperor and your health?" Bao Que asked hesitantly.

An Lingrong was a little sad, "You don't have to worry about this. I have no choice but to use these dirty things. You just need to know that you and I will both be prosperous and suffer."

"My servant has no second thoughts about my little master. It's just that the little master is favored now. If I can conceive a dragon fetus as soon as possible, I can rely on you." "It's not that you don't know that the queen always sends her a baby soup, even if I I tricked myself into conceiving a dragon fetus, and the queen will not let me give birth to it." An Lingrong's eyes were filled with sadness.

"But my little master, without a child, he has nothing to rely on. He is always under the control of the queen. This is not a long-term solution." Bao Que said sadly.

"In this way, at least I have favor. Before, I had nothing and was trapped in the palace. Only the queen was willing to promote me. If I can't be used by her, I'm afraid even this little favor is a luxury."

"There is no need to say these words in the future, and other words should be avoided."

"This slave knows." Bao Que said helplessly.

An Lingrong's thoughts wandered far away, remembering the year when she first entered the palace. What she had at that time was probably something she would never be able to get her hands on in this life.

Thinking of Zhen Huan, An Lingrong's mood became more and more complicated. Concubine Wan, who had been enjoying great success in the past few years and had won the Holy Heart, had such a miserable day.

Thinking of her past grievances at Suiyuxuan, she might be happy about Zhen Huan's fate, but she clearly felt the pain in her heart.

An Lingrong was favored, and the emperor issued a decree a few days ago to restore her status as a noble lady.

Xia Dongchun knew that An Lingrong had already tasted the sweetness of following the queen.

As April enters, the wind becomes softer and gentler. It is neither cold nor hot. It is the best time of the year.

As expected, Concubine Nian's fetus was not kept to term, and now it was only eight months old, so she took action.

There were people from the emperor in Yikun Palace, so Xia Dongchun couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Folks often say that "seven live and eight don't live". It seems that many people in the palace were waiting to see whether Nian Shilan could successfully give birth to a child.

Yu Xin said: "Before term, the longer the fetus survives in the mother's body, the healthier the body will be. 'Seven live and eight dead' is not so accurate."

Xia Dongchun has settled down a little. If Concubine Nian can give birth successfully this time, how many people in the palace will be happy and how many will be worried.

After the emperor was busy with government affairs, he rushed to Yikun Palace to wait.

The queen originally wanted to live with her husband and stay with her husband, so she also went to the Yikun Palace to take charge. Unexpectedly, she was kicked back by the emperor.

After Concubine Wan left the palace, the Queen even had some delusions. She sometimes felt that she and the Emperor looked like husband and wife without Zhen Huan.

The concubine Nian had a difficult delivery, which was extremely dangerous. After struggling for a day, she finally gave birth to a thin prince at nightfall.

The emperor was overjoyed and immediately named her Fuhui, and the Queen Mother also sent someone to visit her.

Then the emperor's order came out that Concubine Nian was injured during childbirth, so she took a double confinement period. No one was allowed to disturb her until the confinement period.

Nian Shilan really suffered a lot.

I often had fetal movements during pregnancy, which was particularly difficult for me, so I stayed in bed to recuperate. Unexpectedly, the fetus was still more than six months old, and the condition became worse and worse. I had to burn moxa to keep the fetus, which could only last until eight months.

The imperial doctor had long asserted that Concubine Nian's fetus could be kept alive for eight months at most. Any longer than that, it would only damage the mother's body, or even cause the death of both mother and child.

Unable to do so, I had no choice but to keep the pregnancy until August and expedite the delivery early.

Even so, Nian Shilan had a difficult delivery and struggled in the delivery room for a day, during which she wanted to give up several times.

Finally, after giving birth to the emperor's ninth elder brother, he forced himself to look at the child and then fell into a deep sleep.
