Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

Chapter 26 26. Night meeting with Concubine Hua
  When Xia Dongchun was promoted to Chang concubine, she also had to move to the main hall of Yanxi Palace. Taking advantage of Xia Dongchun's light body, the servants were already carrying their belongings here and there on weekdays. They just waited for the main hall to be properly arranged and the last of Xia Dongchun's people to pass by.

Finally, before the Holy Master returned to Luang, Xia Dongchun moved to the main hall. The next step was to pack up and wait for the second day of September to greet the Holy Master.

The main hall is much larger than Rouyue Hall, and all the furnishings and regulations were deliberately changed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in order to please the Chang concubine who was promoted to concubine just one year after entering the palace and became pregnant.

On the second day of September, Yongzheng sent someone back in advance to send a message, so that Xia Dongchun did not need to greet him or say hello, and could just stay at Yanxi Palace with peace of mind.

Near noon, news came from outside that the emperor and his concubines had returned to the palace to settle down. Since the emperor has made it clear, there is no need to welcome him or say hello, so Xia Dongchun can feel at ease.

She was ordered to pass on the meal, and now she eats more, so the meals are much richer and larger than before.

Yu Xin was afraid that her stomach would be enlarged and she would eat uncontrollably in the future. She was also afraid that she would gain too much weight during pregnancy and that it would be difficult for her to recover after giving birth. Whenever she ate, she would stand aside and watch closely, wondering if she could eat it. When he was seventy percent full, he immediately ordered people to take away the meal without even saying hello.

Yu Xin is familiar with medical science and has given birth, so she naturally understands the truth. Most of the time, there is no need to take special supplements in the early stages of pregnancy. Even if there are more supplements, most of them will be supplemented by the mother. The fetus will only need a lot of nutrients in the last three months of pregnancy. Even if In this way, you can't nourish too much, otherwise it will be difficult to give birth to a large fetus and the birth will be very difficult and dangerous.

Under Yu Xin's supervision, Xia Dongchun was about to pick up her chopsticks and start eating when a majestic voice sounded outside the door.

"Why didn't you wait for me and started eating first?"

Hearing the sound, Xia Dongchun hurriedly stood up and walked to the door, saluting. Yong Zheng saw that she was getting up more violently, and he quickly bent down to help her up.

"Why are you so anxious? I'm here and I won't run away. I'm so reckless. I don't look like a mother-in-law."

Xia Dongchun's face turned red, and she smiled shyly and said, "Of course the emperor will not run away, but I have been separated from the emperor for a long time, so it is natural for me to be anxious to see the emperor."

Yong Zheng smiled when he heard this and pinched Xia Dongchun's nose, holding her hand and walking to the dining table to sit down.

"You are pregnant, why are there not a few meat dishes on the table? How do you serve them in the imperial dining room?" Yongzheng glanced around and saw that there were only a few meat dishes on the table: braised black-bone chicken, watermelon and shrimp, and steamed turbot. There were only a few meat dishes left on the table. The food was all vegetarian, and I couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The imperial kitchen is dedicated to everything. I specifically ordered it to be lighter. Firstly, I have morning sickness occasionally and cannot eat anything too greasy. Secondly, I am afraid that the child in my belly will not be able to eat it." No matter how much, I ate it all on my concubine. Your Majesty, please don't vent your anger on the imperial kitchen. I will just eat more in the future." Seeing that he was angry, Xia Dongchun hurriedly opened his mouth to defend.

"In this case, there is no need to force yourself to eat more. I will ask the imperial kitchen to keep it ready at all times. If you feel hungry, you can just pass the meal to you at any time regardless of the time. Who will take care of your fetus in the Imperial Hospital?"

"It's the imperial physician Wang Shunyi. Your Majesty doesn't know. Imperial physician Wang took care of my concubine's fetus very carefully and properly. There are many things that need attention during the pregnancy. Imperial physician Wang explained everything in detail one by one. He was very dedicated."

"Since you think he is good, then just use him. It's just that Wang Shunyi seems to be relatively inexperienced. If I don't appoint another doctor to you, you can just give advice to Dr. Wang from the side. The Queen recommended Zhang Mi to me. I think Imperial Doctor Zhang is good."

Xia Dongchun's heart beat wildly when he heard this, but he suppressed his uneasiness and said slowly: "I have also heard that Dr. Zhang has superb medical skills. It's just that Dr. Zhang is the doctor who serves the Queen. If I delay the Queen because of my concubine, The empress and phoenix are in good health, but the concubine is really uneasy. If the emperor is worried that Dr. Wang is not good at taking care of the concubine, why not point out Dr. Wen to give him some advice. Dr. Wen is naturally experienced in taking care of Sister Wan and giving birth safely. Besides, Sister Wan The emperor gave birth to his sixth elder brother in one fell swoop, and I also want to be blessed with such a blessing."

Yong Zheng looked at Xia Dongchun's blushing cheeks due to shyness, and listened to her tell her little thoughts. He laughed heartily and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Okay, then it's up to you. Wen Shichu took good care of Wan Bin's pregnancy, and she is useful. But Wan Bin gave birth to the sixth brother. I would rather have your baby be a princess. My baby will be prosperous. The concubine will definitely be able to raise the princess well."

"Regardless of brother or princess, as long as it is the child of my concubine and the emperor, I will raise it well. By the way, Ling Yun's child has already come to pay my respects to me. I will take care of my brother and Ling Yun. Thank you for your attention." Xia Dongchun said while serving dishes to the emperor.

"Oh? I remember that kid. It's not all because of my praise. That kid really lived up to his expectations. He's still young but doesn't fall behind in the slightest. He can be said to be a handsome young hero. He is a talented person."

This was a very high praise, but Xia Dongchun didn't believe it entirely.

"It's not as good as the emperor's praise. I know that the emperor understands that I miss my family in the palace, so I promoted Ling Yun. Your Majesty, don't worry, I will give you advice and tell him to practice diligently and not to slack off for a day." , I cannot disgrace my concubine in front of the emperor, otherwise I will not be able to see the emperor again."

Hearing this, Yongzheng laughed in a low voice and said, "Of course I feel sorry for you leaving home and entering the palace, but your nephew does have some real skills. He must have learned that skill since he was a child." "Your Majesty has a discerning eye, and I, my lord, are very wise. My eldest nephew Xia Lingyun and my second nephew Xia Tengyun have both been taught by a strict master since they were young. These two children have been very naughty since they were young. They climb high and low, wield knives and guns, and often make chaos in the house. Jump. The elder brother saw that the two of them were weak and it would be too difficult for them to study, so he invited a master to teach them kung fu. Unexpectedly, the two of them found it very useful. They followed the master to practice Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, and they never complained about hardship. Today Ling Yun can be favored by the emperor, and finally has the opportunity to 'repay the emperor's favor on the golden stage, support the jade dragon and die for the emperor'." Xia Dongchun said calmly, and Yong Zheng also listened to his heart.

"Nonsense, there is no taboo for someone who is immortal and wants to be the mother-in-law. Why is it that I am surrounded by mountains of swords and seas of fire?" Yongzheng pretended to be angry.

"My concubine made a mistake, but it doesn't matter whether it's a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​fire. My brother often teaches his nephews that if they serve the king one day, they can't blink even if they go up mountains of swords and seas of fire."

Yong Zheng nodded: "Well, your brother Xia Wei is also a good person. He has always fulfilled his duties and done well in his errands. Okay, let's not talk about them anymore. You should eat more quickly. He only focused on picking up food for me and didn't see you. Eat a few more bites." Then he picked up some vegetables for Xia Dongchun.

After the meal, Xia Dongchun felt a little sleepy, and Yong Zheng also wanted to take a nap. The two took off their clothes and lay on the bed. Xia Dongchun rested on Yong Zheng's arm and stared at the tent on the top of the bed in a daze.

"Do you like the title I chose for you?" Yong Zheng said after a while.

"I like everything the emperor gives to me. Prosperity, prosperity, and prosperity. Such good intentions mean that the emperor values ​​me. Sister An also got a good title, and I am happy for her." Xia Dongchunrou vocal channel.

"My concubine is always willing to consider others. I am not wrong about you."

When Yongzheng left, Xia Dongchun had not yet woken up from her nap, so she told her servants not to wake her up, then got up and returned to the Yangxin Hall.

Not long after the emperor left, Xia Dongchun woke up. According to the rules, she should go to Jingren Palace to pay respects to the empress, but the emperor just told her to stay in Yanxi Palace. She didn't have to make this trip, and she would not be in a good position, and she would have to bear some risks. .

At night, Xia Dongchun had a simple dinner and reclined on the couch with her eyes closed to rest while Yu Xin massaged her.

Late at night, Xia Dongchun got up and tidied up a little, and took Yu Xin to Yikun Palace.

The maid from Yikun Palace welcomed her in. Concubine Hua was already waiting for her.

Looking at Xia Dongchun's already very obvious belly, Concubine Hua's eyes became intense. If others didn't understand her dedication to pregnancy, they would probably be frightened by her eyes.

Xia Dongchun bowed politely, and Concubine Hua gave her a seat.

"My sister is really a blessed person. I feel sorry for my sister because she was banned from going to the Old Summer Palace with me. Who would have thought that my sister was secretly raising a baby in the Forbidden City. This shows that my sister is capable." Concubine Hua said lazily.

When Xia Dongchun saw that there was only a little fragrance of flowers floating in the palace, she knew that Concubine Hua had indeed stopped enjoying the fragrance, and she felt relieved.

"Your Majesty can see through my concubine's subtle tricks at a glance. It has been nearly three months since I delivered the medicine. I believe your Majesty's good news will be soon."

"I have tested your medicine and have been taking it, but you are so courteous for nothing. How can I believe that you have no evil intentions?" Concubine Hua's sharp eyes pierced her, with a bit of hesitation and defensiveness.

"My Majesty, there is no need to worry about it. I have always admired you, and your Majesty knows it. Furthermore, by chance, I know the true face of the Queen, and I am filled with fear. I am the only one in the palace who can compete with the Queen. I just want to seek protection from the empress. Besides, the empress is in her prime and is favored by the emperor. There is no other place where I need my attentiveness, so let me give you the gift my empress wants most." Xia Dongchun Looking directly into Concubine Hua's eyes, she said calmly.

"It's not surprising that the queen is so talkative and has a snake heart. It's natural for you to seek my protection. If this success is successful, your benefits will naturally be indispensable. If it fails, I won't blame you. I'm afraid that I have already missed it. She has reached the most suitable age to be a mother-in-law." Concubine Hua felt a little sad.

"My Majesty, don't worry, success or failure will be known soon. However, I still need to remember that all spices must be banned, and everything that can enter the palace must be carefully inspected. Furthermore, I have one more thing to ask of you. , I hope the empress will approve it."

"Just say it."

"I beg your empress, no matter whether it comes true or not, don't tell anyone about my gift of medicine, including the emperor. If it comes true, please ask your empress to protect me, and you don't need to show it publicly, as I will secretly do it." At your service.”
