Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

Xia Dongchun never felt that her fourth elder brother was innocent. On the contrary, she only felt that this prince, who had finally become a great treasure in his previous life, was unfathomable.

But all his fortunes in his previous life also depended on Concubine Xi, the concubine who died outside the palace.

Concubine Xi gave birth to a twin and was in charge of the Sixth Palace. She had the same position as the deputy empress. Her mother's family was the Niu Hulu clan, and she was assisted by Prince Shen. The fourth elder brother is recorded as the son of Concubine Xi, and it is only because of his mother that he has a son.

The third elder brother is stupid and the fifth elder brother is stubborn. In the battle for the reserve position, only the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother, and Concubine Xi is willing to recommend him, can he have the last laugh.

However, no matter in the past life or in this life, Xia Dongchun never denied the plans of the fourth elder brother.

Not to mention that when he first returned to the Forbidden City, he went to see the emperor every day, and when he was not allowed to be summoned, he deliberately sought out concubines who were favored and had nothing to do. Who was Shen Meizhuang? Behind her is Shen Zishan, the co-leader of Jeju. It must be said that the fourth elder brother is really vicious.

He studied in the study room with the third elder brother. He was obviously much better than the third elder brother, but he knew how to hide his edge.

Then when I looked at politics, I found that he was obviously smooth, but he had a reputation for being upright. Why? Just imitate his emperor Ama.

Looking at the third elder brother, he has never understood the principle that hard work can make up for failure. He also listened to E Niang's guidance and gained a reputation as a virtuous and modest man, and he was actually very proud of it. Little did he know that what the emperor hated the most was hypocritical people like his eighth brother, and he unknowingly touched the emperor's back.

As for the fourth elder brother's poisoning this time, although the plan was a bit clumsy, it almost involved Qi concubine and her son. But the fourth elder brother finally understood the emperor's intention, so he acted like a good boy and asked concubine Qi to come to apologize. He shook hands with the third elder brother and made peace, and prepared rewards and gifts for the innocent palace residents of Changchun Palace.

This move not only complied with the emperor's wishes, but also subtly won people's hearts, but Qi concubine and her son had no way of noticing.

But today, there will no longer be Concubine Xi who stirs up troubles in the harem, and the emperor has no shortage of heirs. Until now, the emperor has no intention of finding an adoptive mother for the fourth elder brother, let alone his poisoning this time, which has greatly damaged the image of the fourth elder brother in the emperor's mind.

In this situation, it would be difficult for Fourth Prince to stand out among the many princes.

But Xia Dongchun had never underestimated the fourth elder brother, but she had to assist Concubine Jing to support the sixth elder brother no matter what.

First of all, the sixth elder brother's status in the emperor's heart is extraordinary. Although he is young now, he is also smart and diligent.

Secondly, Concubine Hui also firmly supports Brother Six, as well as the maternal clan behind Concubine Hui.

Thirdly, her seventh elder brother has no competition. If the sixth elder brother becomes the Dabao and Concubine Jing becomes the queen mother, Xia Dongchun, mother and son will also be treated well.

Now that the fourth elder brother's poisoning has been settled, Concubine Jing, Hui Fei and others have also seen the scheme of the fourth elder brother, and they are also wary of him.

After this incident, the emperor has ordered people to start preparing for the third and fourth elder brothers to leave the palace and build a mansion. Naturally, it cannot be concealed. The residences of the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother need to be sited, and usually the existing ones are chosen. Rebuilding or remodeling a vacant mansion is naturally a big project.

If you want to build a palace, the prince must be granted a title. The level of the title means the level of the starting point.

Even the third elder brother also understood the importance of it, so the two of them worked hard and started to work hard. They put a lot of thought into their homework or observing politics.

Chungui's fetus has been pregnant for nearly four months, and the weather is very hot. Pregnant women tend to have hotter body and mind, which makes it more difficult to bear.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has limited ice, and the Emperor has a decree, so Chungui will use it first.

Since the nobles use more ice, there will be less ice for the nobles. Naturally, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not deduct the cost of concubines.

Jinbin and Zhang Changzai were still favored and lived together in the Old Summer Palace.

Yungui people are less favored, so they live in a more remote place, and ice is often not enough. Fortunately, the place where they live is cooler, so they only need to use ice during the hottest time at noon, so it is not too difficult. On this day, Xia Dongchun heard from Ging Guo that Princess Jinghe had been having a hard time recently, so Concubine Hui used the excuse to invite the emperor several times.

Xia Dongchun was a little surprised. Shen Meizhuang was never someone willing to take the opportunity to invite favors. Even if he was ignored in the past, he would not bow his head and submit.

Now that the emperor has been resting at Concubine Hui's house for several days in a row, the queen mother is naturally happy to see the results.

Xia Dongchun thought about the concubine Jing's place a few days ago, when Dr. Wen came to check the concubine Jing's pulse. Shen Meizhuang looked so cramped at that time. Now that she thought about it, she felt that something was wrong.

In her previous life, she only learned at the end that Shen Meizhuang was having an affair with Imperial Physician Wen, and they even gave birth to a child.

But the old fact was too long ago, and she had not thought of it before. Now that she suddenly recalled it, she felt a little frightened.

So what if I recall it? Some secrets are only suitable for rotting in the stomach.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the emperor wanted the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet to be more lively this year, so Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Hui got busy half a month in advance.

On this day, it was suddenly heard that Concubine Hui fainted while preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, so Xia Dongchun rushed to visit her.

When they arrived at Concubine Hui's residence, Imperial Physician Wen was diagnosing Shen Meizhuang's pulse. The Emperor had also arrived early. Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing were also preparing for the family banquet with Concubine Hui.

After diagnosing the pulse, Wen Shichu came over and bowed to the emperor, "Congratulations to the emperor, Concubine Hui is one month pregnant."

"Is this true?" the emperor asked in surprise.

"Weichen has carefully examined Concubine Hui, and she is indeed more than a month pregnant. It's just that the weather is hot now, and the concubine has been a little tired in the past few days, so she suddenly fainted."

"Oh, Concubine Hui is pregnant. This is such a happy event." Concubine Jing said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Concubine Hui." Concubine Duan also smiled.

"Now Sister Hui Fei can be lazy, but she has to work hard for the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine." Xia Dongchun also joked.

The room was filled with joy, but whether it was an illusion or something, Xia Dongchun felt that Doctor Wen, who was looking down at the side, looked a little solemn.

Xia Dongchun had no time to care about anything else, but he had a vague conclusion in his heart.

Shen Meizhuang no longer needs to participate in the preparations for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, but after all, he can't be idle, and he still has the palace affairs at hand.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone gathered in Haiyan Hall for a family banquet in the palace.

In the midst of the excitement, Yun Gui suddenly stood up, bowed to the emperor, and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, I feel unwell today, so I asked the imperial doctor to see me. The imperial doctor said that I have been sick for a month. is pregnant."

The main hall, which was bustling just now, suddenly fell silent.

"Oh? Mr. Yungui, are you telling the truth?" the emperor asked in surprise.

"I dare not lie to the emperor. I have been feeling particularly unwell these past few days. I thought it was just the bitter summer due to the lack of ice. Today I asked the imperial doctor to take a look and found out that I am pregnant."
