Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

"Sister Shen, is it really the queen who harmed my child?" Chungui said in confusion.

"I don't dare to conclude this matter, Chun'er, you just need to remember that both Lingrong and Qi Guiren belong to the queen. Both the queen and Lingrong have harmed your sister Wan, and Qi Guiren's father falsely accused Huan'er's father. , causing the Zhen Mansion to be ransacked and exiled." After pondering for a long time, Shen Meizhuang finally told her the cruel truth.

"Sister Shen, I understand. Is Sister Wan too favored? Sister Wan and Hongluo also want to hurt Sister Wan, right?" Chun Guiren asked.

"Yeah!" Shen Meizhuang responded in a deep voice.

"If I can't take care of you all the time in the future, you should be more careful yourself, especially the mausoleum, and stay farther away. You have lost your child, and the emperor must be very fond of you. At this time, you should seize the opportunity and be more careful. I wish you some grace." Shen Meizhuang said warmly.

"I understand, Sister Shen." Chungui whispered.

"There will be children in the future. Only with more grace will it be easier to conceive children. But in the future, we will not be able to be like before. We must learn to protect ourselves and our children."

Shen Meizhuang tried to comfort her and finally saw her calm down.

Xia Dongchun had expected that Chungui's miscarriage would be revealed. After all, the emperor only wanted a result, so it was natural to regret it. Even at the family banquet on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor drank a few glasses of wine.

Perhaps it was because there were successive births of dragon heirs in the palace and miscarriages among concubines were rare, so there was a period of gloom and gloom.

I don't know whether the emperor was upset because Chungui had lost her child during miscarriage, or whether he was sad because he remembered Wanbi's miscarriage before she left the palace. Xia Dongchun thought secretly.

There was a heavy rain in the afternoon, the air was fresh, and it was no longer stuffy. The lotus flowers in the lake were all in bloom, fresh and natural, and breathtakingly beautiful. The emperor sent an order to hold a lotus appreciation banquet at dusk in a small building in the middle of the lake, and invited all the palace concubines to attend.

Xia Dongchun thought that there might be something lively today, so he arrived at the lake early and took a boat to the small house in the middle of the lake.

The small building in the middle of the lake is a pavilion built in the middle of the lake. There is a lotus viewing pavilion built outside. Today, the banquet is held in this pavilion.

The lotus flowers in the lake were really blooming lively. In summer, winter and spring, they were riding in small boats and passing through the lotus bushes. Even she, who was innocent, felt that this moment was quite poetic.

When they arrived at the small building in the middle of the lake, they saw Hui Concubine, Jing Fei and Chun Guiren standing under the pavilion admiring lotuses together.

"Sister Concubine Jing, Sister Shen, Lord Chun, you are here early." Xia Dongchun greeted.

Then they greeted each other.

"Sister Chang Concubine came early, and we have just arrived." Concubine Jing said with a smile.

“The earlier you arrive, the earlier you can appreciate the beautiful scenery.”

A few people chatted for a while, and then saw that everyone was arriving one after another, so they took their seats together.

However, I met Qi Guiren, who had not been seen for a long time. I heard that she was fined and grounded by the Queen as soon as she arrived at the Old Summer Palace. It has been more than a month now.

Mr. Qi is actually thinner than before. Instead of being round and round, he is now somewhat lovable, but his complexion is not as good as before.

After a while, Concubine Nian arrived.

The low-ranking concubines stood up to pay their respects, and Shen Meizhuang also blessed her with an indifferent expression.

Concubine Nian glanced sideways at everyone, and then sat down next to Concubine Duan.

"Concubine Duan, long time no see." Concubine Nian said coldly.

"My dear concubine, when you see your concubine, you should salute and say hello." Jixiang said angrily.

"I'm just not polite, what can you do to me?" Nian Shilan said coldly. "You..." Ji Xiang was furious.

"Good luck." Concubine Duan stopped her.

"It's been a long time indeed. How is Concubine Nian?" Concubine Duan's voice showed no emotion.

"I'm not in any serious health condition, but Concubine Duan looks much better than before, thinking she has a daughter."

Concubine Duan did not answer.

"I am not as blessed as Concubine Duan. I don't have to go through the pain of pregnancy and childbirth to get a princess for free. My blessings and wisdom are smart and cute. I am connected by blood. I have suffered so many things in the past." The pain is worth it just to look at your own child, don't you think so, noble concubine?" Nian Shilan bit her tongue with hatred at the word 'concubine' and said sarcastically.

"Although Wen Yi is not my biological son, he is the emperor's son after all, and I regard him as my own." Concubine Duan said with a normal expression.

"Yes, they are all the emperor's heirs, but if you weren't the emperor, you could have had your own children. The emperor could have many heirs, and that's how you and I will be in this life." Suddenly, Nian Shilan said quietly.

At this time, the emperor and queen arrived.

Everyone stood up and saluted, then sat down.

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan and asked, "What did you and Concubine Duan say just now? I see you are not happy."

"Talking to Concubine Duan about Fuhui, the child has started to make trouble recently. I haven't slept well at night recently, so my face has become worse." Nian Shilan said lightly.

"Why is Fuhui still making noise at night? I was staying at your place that day, but I heard him cry a few times. Ask the Imperial Hospital and the wet nurse to think of some ways to prevent you from having trouble sleeping every day." Your Majesty Concerned.

"Being a mother is never easy. Fu Hui's wet nurse took good care of her. But when I heard Fu Hui cry, I became worried. I had to get up and hold her to comfort her. I remember that Wen Yi often made noises at night when he was a child. For a while, she often vomited milk, and then she told Concubine Duan about it." Nian Shilan said.

"Concubine Duan has never been a biological mother. Wen Yi was already older when she came to her, but when she was raised in your palace, she often vomited milk," the emperor said.

"Cough cough cough..." Concubine Duan suddenly coughed, as if she was choking on the tea in her hand, but her face darkened.

"Whether she is a biological mother or not, the mood of a mother is the same. She just hopes that her child will be healthy and safe. When Wen Yi caught wind and cold and developed a high fever, the imperial concubine also stayed in front of the bed with her clothes untied, forcing herself to endure the pain. Fallen." Shen Meizhuang suddenly said.

Because of the emperor's words, the queen and concubine Jing both looked a little worried. After hearing Shen Meizhuang's words, they felt better.

"Oh, look, the water lilies are slowly blooming." Concubine Jing suddenly pointed at the lake and said in surprise.

The sun has set, the moonlight is like a hook, and gradually there is a hazy moonlight mood.

Directly opposite the pavilion, there are several water lilies that are quietly blooming at this moment.

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Concubine Jing and were fascinated by the beautiful scenery in front of them.

"There are colorful lotuses in the south of the Yangtze River, and the lotus leaves are everywhere~"

Everyone was lost in thought when they suddenly heard a burst of melodious singing.

"Where did the singing come from?" Qi Bin asked in surprise.

Everyone was curious, but An Lingrong's expression changed. He turned around and looked around, and sure enough, Rui Guiren was nowhere to be seen.

A small boat was slowly approaching with red lotuses and lotus leaves. On the bow of the boat was a woman wearing cool dance clothes and a veil, dancing gracefully and singing a ditty. The song everyone heard just now came from this.
