Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

Chapter 12 12. Pregnant
  It started to snow in the early morning, accompanied by the howling cold wind. Before long, half a foot of snow had accumulated on the ground.

The road was slippery in the snow, so the queen sent someone to deliver the message without paying her respects.

Xia Dongchun had a good sleep and it was already dark when she got up. Thinking that she would not say hello today, she simply cleaned up and handed over breakfast.

Eating breakfast, listening to Mo Shuang reporting what happened at last night's family dinner.

"It was a great family dinner last night. Cao Guiren suddenly suggested that we go to Yimei Garden to appreciate the plum blossoms. The emperor heard that the plum blossoms in Yimei Garden bloomed early this year, so he took all the masters to Yimei Garden to light up the lights to enjoy the plum blossoms. It snowed heavily yesterday. There was snow in the garden, and Gui Fucha couldn't walk unsteadily and fell down. In a panic, he bumped into Gui Guan beside him, pushing Gui down too. Unexpectedly, Gui Gui saw the red at that time, and the emperor immediately ordered someone to tell the emperor. All the imperial doctors in the hospital temporarily placed Wan Gui in the warm pavilion of Yuqing Palace. The imperial doctor diagnosed and treated Wan Gui and said that Wan Gui was just over a month pregnant and it would be difficult to save the baby after falling and seeing a red dragon fetus. The emperor ordered the imperial doctors to do their best to save Wan Gui's baby. . The noble Fucha turned pale with fright, and the emperor immediately stopped the noble Fucha."

"Then Wan Guiren's fetus can be saved?" Xia Dongchun was shocked to hear this, and she was glad that she had avoided it yesterday. If she had gone to the banquet, she might have been involved in something.

"Three imperial doctors worked together to diagnose and treat Wan Guiren, and finally saved Wan Guiren's fetus, but the situation was very bad. If you were not careful, the fetus might not be saved, and you had to stay in bed until it was three months old. Now Wan Guiren is still alive. Place it in Yuqing Palace and don’t dare to move it. The emperor ordered that no one should disturb it.”

"It stands to reason that the road was slippery on a snowy night, and it is understandable that the noble Fucha would slip and fall. As for hitting the noble Wan, it may not be intentional. It may be an accident." Xia Dongchun said.

"Noble Fucha has indeed been complaining. At one time, she said that she was walking unsteadily and slipped, and at the other, she said that someone tripped her under her feet. Moreover, the person closest to Noble Fucha at that time was Empress Li, but somehow she bumped into someone across the way. Concubine Li’s noble lady.”

"At the family dinner last night, it was Cao Guiren who suggested going to Yimei Garden?" Xia Dongchun sensed something was wrong.

"Exactly."

"Okay, I see."

It was Cao Guiren who proposed to go to Yimei Garden. It was Li Bin who was walking next to Fucha Guiren, but he bumped into Wan Guiren who was standing across from Li Bin. Fucha Guiren also said that someone tripped her. When these pieces of information were connected, Xia Dongchun I don't think this was an accident.

Once again, I was glad that I didn't go to Nalaoshizi's family dinner yesterday. If this incident had happened to me, I might have ended up worse than the noble Fucha. After all, I didn't come from a wealthy Manchu family.

Wan Guiren's dragon fetus was saved, so the Fucha noble would not be confined for too long. If Wan Guiren had raised her well, it would be okay to dismiss the matter as an unintentional mistake.

But will the Queen let Zhen Huan go? The biggest danger now is the queen.

If you want to gain a foothold in the palace, family background and favor are important, but if you can give birth to royal blood, it is not only the icing on the cake, but also a timely help.

Xia Dongchun naturally wanted to give birth to an imperial heir, but since she did not want to be the first among the newlyweds to give birth to a dragon fetus, she had to help Zhen Huan keep the child. With Zhen Huan's favor, giving birth to a dragon fetus would inevitably lead to promotion to the throne. A pregnant woman would definitely be promoted to the throne. A concubine who is pampered and has a family will naturally stand out in the palace and attract most of the attention of the palace. Now that she can think of this, the Queen and Concubine Hua must also be able to think of it. If they try their best to prevent Zhen Huan from giving birth to a child, how can she, Xia Dongchun, fight back.

How did Princess Longyue of Zhen Huan give birth smoothly in her previous life? Xia Dongchun tried hard to recall the details. I just remember that Zhen Huan interrupted the concubine ceremony due to the incident of Chunyuan's old clothes, and was banned from Suiyuxuan. She was pregnant but didn't know it. She was not feeling well and could not call for an imperial doctor. It was Liu Zhu who desperately hit the guard's knife and called him. Imperial physician.

Zhen Huan is so smart. Through the incident of Chunyuan's old clothes, she already understood that the queen was responsible for it, so she clearly asked the queen to take care of the dragon fetus, and then she successfully gave birth to Princess Longyue.

What if the Queen is also asked to take care of the dragon fetus this time? Xia Dongchun thought. Although this move is very risky, there are countless pairs of eyes in the palace staring at the child in Zhen Huan's belly. Now there is no other choice but to take one step at a time.

I took Ginkgo and went to An Lingrong's Wanyitang. It was approaching noon, and the heavy snow had already lightened up, but it showed no sign of stopping.

An Lingrong was doing embroidery when he came in, looking at something like a baby's bellyband. Xia Dongchun understood that this was prepared for Zhen Huan's children.

"Sister is here, please say hello to sister." An Lingrong put down his work and blessed himself.

"My sister is busy, please don't disturb her."

"Don't bother me. Sister came just in time. Lingrong is feeling bored."

"I heard about Wan Guiren and I was quite worried about her. However, the emperor did not allow us to go and see Wan Guiren, so I came here to discuss things with you."

Speaking of Wan Guiren, An Lingrong also looked a little sad.

"Sister Wan suffered this accident just after she was pregnant with a dragon fetus. My sister suffered a lot, but now she has been saved easily. The emperor naturally cherishes her."

"Sister, do you think this is an accident?" Xia Dongchun asked.

"To be honest with my sister, if it were just about what happened last night, Lingrong might believe it was an accident, but..."

An Lingrong was about to speak but stopped, Xia Dongchun asked Ging Guo to close the door, and said bluntly, "I won't beat around the bush. Yesterday I complained of illness and didn't go to the family dinner. This morning I just listened to Mo Shuang's report, and I realized something was wrong. This is not a simple accident, my sister must have thought so too."

"Sister, I don't know. Sister Wan was diagnosed with a happy pulse by Dr. Wen a few days ago. Because she is only a month pregnant, she plans to wait until the dragon fetus is firmly seated in the third month of pregnancy before reporting it to the emperor and empress. Only the mausoleum can do this." Sister Rong Hemei and a few people in Sister Wan's palace knew about it, but they didn't expect that something like this would happen yesterday."

"So that's the case, then it makes sense. Cao Guiren proposed to go to Yimei Garden to appreciate the plum blossoms. Before Fucha Guiren fell down, he was walking closer to Li Bin, but he bumped into Wan Guiren who was across from Li Bin. This Cao Guiren The nobleman and concubine Li are all from Concubine Hua's side."

"Lingrong also thought of this, but if it is true as we guessed, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. It is really a vicious plan. So is the rich and noble man involved in it?" An Lingrong pondered.

"It is not yet known whether the noble Fucha is innocent, but nowadays, it is easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Now that Concubine Hua and her party have taken action, there is no guarantee that one plan will fail and then another."

"Then... what should we do? Sister Wan managed to keep the baby with great difficulty. This is Sister Wan's first child. The emperor loves Sister Wan so much, so he must also value this child very much."

"Guiren Wan is the most favored among us. He is almost as equal as Concubine Hua. On weekdays, Concubine Hua and others make things difficult for her in every possible way, and now it is even more difficult. For now, I am afraid that I have no choice but to seek the protection of the Queen. .”

"The Queen?"

"Exactly, the Empress is the master of the harem, and she is the only one who is above Concubine Hua. Besides, I have heard that the Empress is quite knowledgeable in medicine. If you go to ask the Emperor, for the sake of Wan Gui and the dragon fetus, the Emperor should agree. Agree."

"Sister, what you said makes sense. Lingrong still needs to discuss this matter with Sister Mei. If you really want to ask the emperor, I'm afraid Sister Mei will have to come forward."

"What my sister said is absolutely true, and my sister was also reckless, but I was really worried about Wan Guiren, so I had the courage to tell my sister my guess. If Hui Guiren and my sister had better countermeasures, it would be great. "

"Sister's words are serious. Lingrong knows that her sister is pure and kind-hearted. Now Lingrong is worried that no one will discuss the countermeasures. Sister really came in time. Lingrong thanks her for telling her directly."

"I'm a straight-tempered person. It's really uncomfortable to hold things in my heart. I'm afraid I'll scare my sister. Now that I'm telling you, it's good if my sister believes me. If you have any other doubts, just discuss it with Mr. Huigui. Okay, sister. Go ahead and get busy, sister is back." Xia Dongchun stood up and left.

"Sister, please stay for lunch."

"No, I think Rouyuetang has already prepared it. There is no need for my sister to send it away."

After saying that, he took Ginkgo back to Rouyue Hall.

Looking at the snowman piled on the porch yesterday, I don't know who found a piece of cloth to cover it, but it looked like a cloak. With the cold wind, it actually had a bit of a chilly feel. Xia Dongchun was happy to see it.

After lunch, she saw that the snow outside had stopped, and Mo Shuang advised her to do some exercise after lunch. Summer, winter and spring had nothing to do. Thinking of the snowman at noon, they took a few little girls to build another snowman next to the original snowman.

The new snowman was slightly smaller, but still about half a person tall. The two snowmen stood there, and Xia Dongchun felt very good looking at them.

"You are all alone, now it's better, you have someone to accompany you." Xia Dongchun said to the snowman.

Qiaoer smiled and said, "Little Master, tomorrow we will build a snowman doll, and we will be a family of three."

"Well, that's a good idea. Let's build a snowman tomorrow." Xia Dongchun said happily.

"Speaking of the baby, I don't know how Wan Guiren is doing. When I was at the house, I heard my sister-in-law say that pregnant people should relax their emotions. A good mood is of great benefit to the fetus. Wan Guiren was also frightened last night. , I am lying in bed now, so I must be in a bad mood." Xia Dongchun seemed to suddenly remember it, and said with a worried look.

"The young master has been worried about Wan Gui for a whole day. Now Wan Gui's place must be in good condition. As soon as the baby is firmly seated, the young master can go to visit Wan Gui." Ging Guo was waiting on the little snowman and picked up the Xia Dongchun said.

At this time, Mo Shuang opened the curtain and came out, taking the stove for Xia Dongchun. Before she spoke, she knelt down respectfully.

Xia Dongchun was startled and turned around to see Yong Zheng standing quietly not far away. A few people were so immersed in the game that they didn’t know when Yongzheng arrived.

Xia Dongchun blessed himself and saluted, "I'm here to greet the emperor. I didn't know that the emperor was coming. I'm being rude."

"It doesn't matter, let's get up. The heavy snow has just stopped, and you don't feel cold after all." After saying that, he helped Xia Dongchun up and walked towards the house together.

"Your Majesty, you don't know. This concubine has not been afraid of the cold since she was a child."
