The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 428: Fainting
Regarding the pulse records of concubines in the palace, after the imperial physicians have taken their pulses, they would keep a backup copy in the Imperial Medical Office; at the same time, the imperial physicians would also submit a copy to Kunning Palace and present it to the empress. At this moment, Qinrou's pulse record had already been submitted to Kunning Palace and was in the hands of the empress. The empress was watching!

Yuanyan, who was serving on the side, was well-informed. Even without looking at the pulse case submitted by the Imperial Medical Bureau, she had already received the news that Concubine Nara had recovered from her illness.

Of course Huanyan was unhappy. The emperor had many concubines, many of whom had died, but servants follow their masters, and the servants in Kunning Palace had the same interests as the empress; therefore, Huanyan hated every concubine of the emperor who appeared in the harem equally.

Even though Yuanyan knew very well that these so-called favorite concubines were only short-lived, only ladies of noble status like the Empress and Concubine Niuhulu could remain standing.

Yuanyan was smart and knew who the pulse case sent by the Imperial Medical Bureau belonged to. Seeing the master looking through the pulse case sent by the Imperial Medical Bureau, Yuanyan said, "Concubine Nara is lucky. Earlier, I thought Concubine Nara might not make it, but now she has survived and recovered."

When this news came, Yuanyan was not very happy! But since it was a fait accompli, Yuanyan would not say anything wrong, so as not to become a loophole around the master and give others a handle on her.

"Speaking of which," Yuanyan continued, "the medical skills of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau have improved again. This time, I'm afraid the emperor will reward them well."

After all, Concubine Nara was so favored that during the time she was sick, the emperor not only took care of her all the time, but also sent the royal physician to take care of her day and night.

"Concubine Nara is indeed very lucky." The Empress looked at the pulse record in her hand and was able to spare a trace of her attention to talk to Yuanyan. She continued, "It is only right that the Emperor should give her more rewards; I will also give her more rewards!"

"Your Highness is the master of the six palaces, and this is what you should do." Yuanyan said. Your Highness has the responsibility to take care of all the six palaces. Now that Concubine Nara has recovered from her illness, it is only the generosity of Your Highness to reward the imperial doctors!
The queen smiled slightly, turned to look at Yuanyan, and said, "You are the only one who can speak."

Yuanyan pursed her lips and smiled. The queen's good mood turned worse, and she asked worriedly, "How is the fifth prince? And how is the second princess? What did the imperial physician say?"

Last year, when autumn turned to winter, the second princess fell ill. Unexpectedly, this illness was like opening a Pandora's box. Once she fell ill, she never recovered and was sick from time to time.

Before Concubine Nara fell ill, she was fine. But a few days later, the Second Princess fell ill again. She had been suffering for several days, and her little body had been taking medicine all the time.

The Fifth Prince also fell ill earlier than the Second Princess. The imperial doctors also sent waves of doctors to the Garu Mansion. The two imperial doctors in the palace's pediatric department were either in Garu Mansion or in the Second Princess's bedroom.

Really, there is no good time.

Not only did the Empress constantly look at and care about the pulse cases, but the Emperor also submitted several pulse cases to the Qianqing Palace over several consecutive days.

Kangxi was not in a good mood.

"Children are weak and cannot compare with adults. The cause of the disease is hidden in their bodies. Even if the servants take good care of them, they are bound to suffer from serious or minor illnesses. The Second Princess and the Fifth Prince are both too young. Their physical constitutions are not as good as those of adults. They cannot suppress the disease, which is why they get sick." Yuanyan said worriedly.

"Then ask the imperial doctors to take good care of them," the queen frowned suddenly, "Don't the emperor and I know that children are weak? They are all experts in medicine, and they can use good medicine at will. If there is anything, they can also ask the servants who serve them personally to do it. With such good conditions, can they not even take good care of a prince?"

Yuanyan lowered her head, also with an embarrassed look on her face, and whispered, "Princes and princesses have insufficient vitality in their wombs. The imperial doctors say that any child born earlier than a man or a woman has a defective constitution and is weaker and sicker than ordinary children. It is even more difficult to raise them."

To put it bluntly, the biological mother of the emperor and the heir is too old; her body has not yet developed to its best, and almost all the children conceived at this time are deficient in the womb. She will get sick without any external inducement, let alone a little inducement. There is nothing the queen can do about this. It would be best if the imperial doctors can give a reason. The royal family is different from other places. If the emperor is not married, he cannot rule the country. If no heir is born after marriage, the foundation of the country will inevitably be unstable.

For the sake of the country, if the harem has no heirs, it will cause turmoil in the court, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

The queen frowned and ordered, "Take good care of Concubine Ma Jia's baby. I remember she is about to give birth. And Concubine Li, pay attention to the baby in her belly as well."

The queen calculated that the baby in Ma Jia's belly was most likely a girl. The baby in Li's belly was still unknown, so she should keep it for now! If there was anything to come, she could be of some use.

"Don't worry, my lady." Yuanyan agreed and replied, "The imperial doctors are always taking care of her. And the nannies are also taking care of her."

Besides, there is still the Fourth Prince Saiyinchahun in the palace? Yes, since the Fifth Prince was born last year, Huanyan has disliked him. This dislike has exceeded her dislike for the Fourth Prince.

As a prince born to a concubine, Huanyan would rather Ma Jia, the concubine, be proud than let the fifth prince be well treated. Who asked this child to be born just a few days after the death of the second prince? He was born when the queen was in the most pain, and he also stole the limelight that originally belonged to the second prince and the master and the queen.

The Queen gave some instructions, and then at dusk, Qin Rou also came to Kunning Palace to pay her respects.

Now that she can get out of bed, Qin Rou doesn't want to be lazy anymore. Why bother!

The Queen saw her and smiled, "You are just getting well. I see that you still need to take good care of yourself. I was hoping that you would take some more time to recover. Why are you in such a hurry to come and pay your respects to me?"

The Queen did not send anyone to urge him, it was all up to him to do it voluntarily. But this is just right? He came to visit her every morning and evening, which was quite good.

Although the empress may not care much about the presence of one more person when paying respects in the main hall of Kunning Palace, the concubine is smart and comes to pay respects when she feels well, which makes the empress feel more comfortable.

Qin Rou replied politely, "I have gotten much better. The imperial doctors said that I just need to take good care of myself. I don't know how long I will have to wait for. I couldn't get out of bed before, so I had no choice but to ask for leave. Now that I have recovered, there is no reason for me to be lazy anymore."

I was not feeling well before and could not get out of bed, so I asked for leave! Now I have recovered from my illness. Although I am still a little behind, I cannot neglect the rule of visiting my parents every morning and evening.

"The disease will heal quickly, so it won't be a problem for you to rest for a few more days," said the queen.

Qin Rou said softly, "The Queen is generous, but I cannot push my limits; that would be a betrayal of your kindness and compassion."

"That's fine!" The queen said, "You have always been a quiet person, and you don't usually go anywhere. You can visit your parents every morning and evening, take a walk, take a look, and you will become more open-minded."

"Yes." Qin Rourou responded. She did not object to anything and took the opportunity to say:

"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness, especially during the days when I was sick. I was able to rely on the servants you sent to serve me."
