Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 98 Yuanchun is pregnant and Daiyu enters the palace
On New Year's Day of the fourth year of Chengtai, Prince Yizhi, Prince Hesu, and the four kings with different surnames launched a joint remonstrance. Although it failed, it greatly embarrassed Emperor Chengtai and made him extremely disgusted.

It did force Emperor Chengtai to kill his son Yuan Qingzhe.

However, Emperor Chengtai played tricks on this matter.

He adopted Yuan Qingzhe as his son to the deposed Prince Yizhi, and then killed Yuan Qingzhe.

It has this meaning: I am not killing the son in my own name, I am killing the son in your name!

……

……

Time goes back to February of the fourth year of Chengtai.

On this day, Imperial Physician Lu and Wang Jiren came to Yuqing Palace together again, and Yuan Qingbai personally took them to the back hall.

The apse of Yuqing Palace is Yuanchun's bedroom.

The entrance to the bedroom was blocked by a red embroidered curtain. Yuan Chun was sitting inside the curtain, with Youshi, Qin Keqing, Wang Xifeng, Lingxue, Baoqin, Jindie, Ruizhu, Ping'er and others gathered behind him.

As the princess, Yuanchun wanted to have a happy marriage. This was a big deal, and Yuan Qingbai's female family members were very concerned about it.

Yuanchun stretched out a slender jade hand from the curtain, and the nails were not dyed with flowers.

She is dignified and virtuous, and rarely dyes her nails with flowers, which is commonly used by Youshi, Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng.

This time, Wang Jiren and Imperial Physician Lu were extremely cautious when checking Yuanchun's pulse.

When feeling the pulse, the two imperial doctors tilted their heads at a large angle, fearing that they would see Yuan Chun inside the curtain and make Yuan Qingbai unhappy, but they were looking forward to it, because once they found the happy pulse, Yuan Qingbai would be overjoyed, and they would probably get a reward.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's Ximai!"

Wang Jiren, who felt the pulse first, smiled.

"The prince is very happy, it is indeed a happy pulse!"

Doctor Lu, who took the pulse later, smiled.

Immediately from within the curtain came the chirping sounds of the female relatives congratulating Yuan Chun. Among them, Wang Xifeng's voice stood out. It was unclear whether she was sincere or not.

Finally, today, more than two years after Yuan Chun married Yuan Qingbai, she was diagnosed with joy!
Yuan Qingbai once again felt that his physique made it easier to have children.

In the original work, Yuanchun has been in the palace for many years, but it is not explicitly stated that she was pregnant.

Yuan Qingbai rewarded two imperial doctors and asked Lu Qian to send them out of Yuqing Palace.

The red embroidered curtain has been lifted up, Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Third Master, please comfort the princess, she is crying."

Yuan Qingbai stared at Yuan Chun, but Yuan Chun burst into tears, obviously crying with joy.

After Yuan Qingbai let everyone leave, he put his arms around Yuan Chun and asked, knowingly: "Why are you still crying after such a great joy?"

Yuan Chun said: "I am so happy."

Yuan Qingbai smiled and said, "I told you earlier that you don't have to worry about the pregnancy. It will happen sooner or later. No, the happy pulse will come out today."

Yuanchun said "hmm", raised his head and glanced at him: "Thank you, Third Master."

Yuan Qingbai smiled and said: "You should thank me properly. If I hadn't been quite capable in pregnancy, you wouldn't be here this time."

Yuanchun couldn't help but let out a "poof", thinking that this matter must be done by me.

Yuan Qingbai smiled and said: "I found out my happy pulse today. This is a great joy. To celebrate this, let's get drunk in the bar together tonight?"

Yuanchun couldn't help but let out a "poof" again: "Third Master just loves to tease me!"

Yuan Qingbai said: "I don't like to tease you, I love you first, and then I tease you."

Yuanchun: "..."

She couldn't help lowering her head, her face became hot and red.

She knew that her third master didn't often say sweet words, but this was the first time he said "I love you" to her. It could be seen that he was very happy when she found her happy pulse today.

Yuan Qingbai held her in his arms and stayed quiet for a while, then let her go and said with a smile: "I will report to the Emperor and the Holy One, and you will report to the Queen Mother and Queen He yourself."

Yuanchun said "hmm" and couldn't help but said: "Third Master, I want to ask you something."

Yuan Qingbai smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yuanchun raised his head and stared at him with crystal eyes: "On New Year's Day this year, I couldn't get along with the old lady from my parents' family."

"It's inconvenient for me to leave the palace, but can the third master let my old lady and madam from my parents' family come into the palace to see me? I miss you so much."

She really missed Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

She also missed Jia Baoyu. After all, before she married Yuan Qingbai, although she and Jia Baoyu were sisters and brothers in name, their relationship was somewhat like that of mother and son. The last time she saw Jia Baoyu, she returned to Ning in the year of her wedding. More than years.

But she is a virtuous person and knows that even though Jia Baoyu is still young, it is inconvenient for her to enter Yuqing Palace.

She knew that when Lingxue found out the Ximai pulse, she asked Yuan Qingbai to arrange for Fei'er and Cui'er to enter the palace.

Yuan Qingbo thought for a while and then smiled and said: "It's rare for a princess to ask me, so I won't refuse."

Yuan Chun's brows were filled with joy, and he stretched out his hand to pinch his sleeves in a coy tone, lowered his head and said, "Third Master is so kind!"

……

……

That afternoon, Lu Qian, the eunuch in charge of Yuan Qingbai, rode to Rongguo Mansion on Ningrong Street, accompanied by two eunuchs under his command.

Lu Qian has been to Rongguo Mansion many times.

The disciples of Rongguo Mansion did not dare to neglect him.

A disciple went into the inner house to report. Soon, Jia Lian and Lai Da welcomed Lu Qian to Jia Mu's Courtyard on the West Road of the inner house. Jia Lian then led Lu Qian into Rongqing Hall.

Jia Zheng worked in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Jia Zhu went to school, and Lai Da was the general manager of Rongguo Mansion.

The Rongqing Hall was very lively, with Jia Mu, Li Wan, Zhen Baofen, Lin Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Jia Baoyu and a group of maids and wives gathered together.

Zhen Baofen is Jia Lian's wife, and Lin Daiyu has only been in Rongguo Mansion for two months.

Because Lu Qian was an eunuch, Jia Mu did not let the girls avoid him.

Lu Qian saluted Mother Jia and got straight to the point: "I'm taking the liberty to disturb the old lady today because I want to congratulate the old lady. Just this morning, the princess's happy pulse was removed."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were immediately overjoyed, and most of the other people in the hall were also happy.

Youshi, Wang Xifeng, and Lingxue have all given birth to sons, but Princess Yuanchun has never been pregnant. This matter not only worries Yuanchun, but also worries the Jia family, especially Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang. Now it's better!

Jia Baoyu couldn't help but frown.

Even though he is still young, he already has his own opinions on women.

He thinks that it is good for a girl to be unmarried, but it is bad for a girl to be married, and it is even worse for a girl to have children.

Alas, my eldest sister is so good, but now she is going to have a baby.

Lu Qian added: "What's even more gratifying is that Third Master Bai has a message. Because the princess misses the old lady and his wife, she will send someone to take the old lady and madam into the palace tomorrow morning to fulfill her family's wish. Third Master Bai I also said that it wouldn’t hurt to bring more women and girls with me.”

As soon as these words came out, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were overjoyed again, and other female family members in the hall began to look forward to following them into the palace to have a long experience, including Li Wan and Sanchun.

Jia Baoyu became even more sad. He also wanted to see his eldest sister... Lin Daiyu didn't have much expectations.

Lu Qian told Jia Mu in detail about entering the palace tomorrow, and was about to leave without drinking tea.

Jia Mu hurriedly asked her maid to get a sum of money and reward Lu Qian. It was a lot of money, and the Rongguo Mansion was rich.

Lu Qian did not refuse and accepted the silver reward.

Lu Qian is a good eunuch, otherwise Yuan Qingbai would not promote him.

However, how many eunuchs don’t love money? For this kind of errand today, Lu Qian was rewarded with silver. In his opinion, it was appropriate. Even if Yuan Qingbai knew about it, he would not blame him.

After Jia Lian sent Lu Qian out of Rongqing Hall, the hall became lively. Some people congratulated him, some offered to follow up with the palace chief, and some took the opportunity to flatter Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang...

After some discussion, Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang decided to bring Li Wan, Zhen Baofen, Lin Daiyu and Sanchun, each with a maid.

Li Wan and Zhen Baofen were both Yuanchun's sisters-in-law, and Yuanchun had never met Zhen Baofen's sister-in-law.

Miharu is both Yuanchun's sister.

Jia Mu loves Lin Daiyu and wants Lin Daiyu to take the opportunity to meet Yuanchun and go to the palace to get to know her.

The maids who were selected all liked it, but those who were not selected were depressed.

……

……

Early the next morning, there were many vehicles and people in front of the Rongguo Mansion.

Jia's mother sat alone in a large sedan with eight people.

Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, and Zhen Baofen each took a four-person sedan.

Lin Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun were all riding in carriages.

Also accompanying are Jia Mu's maid Yuanyang, Mrs. Wang's maid Jin Chuan, Li Wan's maid Suyun, Zhen Baofen's maid Yan'er, Lin Daiyu's maid Zicuckoo, the maid Siqi who greets the spring, the maid who explores the spring, waiting for a book, and Xichun. The maid enters the painting.

A group of guards, soldiers and eunuchs headed by Zhao You took Jia Mu and her party into the palace.

After entering the palace, everyone in Rongguo Mansion was dignified and silent. In such a solemn Guidianlan Palace, even Jia Mu would be dignified, let alone others.

Yuanchun led Youshi, Qin Keqing, Wang Xifeng, Lingxue, Jindie, Ruizhu, Ping'er and others to welcome the female relatives of Rongguo Mansion.

The female relatives of Rongguo Palace and the female relatives of Yuqing Palace gathered together in Yuanchun's palace.

While the female relatives were chatting, Yuan Qingbai suddenly returned to Yuqing Palace and walked into Yuanchun's palace.

He saw so many beauties in the palace, including many golden hairpins from the original novel, all of them dressed up to make them look jealous and embarrassed, which made him feel a little dazzled.

Some of the female family members were surprised, while others were frightened.

Li Wan and Lin Daiyu were both a little panicked and a little embarrassed. They thought they would not see the crown prince Yuan Qingbai when they entered the palace today.

Zhen Baofen's eyes lit up. She had long wanted to meet the rumored prince, and now she met him.

Also surprised were Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Tanchun and the maids of Rongguo Mansion.

Yuan Chun, Jia Mu, and Mrs. Wang were all sitting. When Yuan Qingbai came, they stood up and saluted Yuan Qingbai, and everyone else also saluted.

After Yuan Qingbai returned the gift, he sat down side by side with Yuan Chun, and then looked at the female relatives in the hall, feeling interesting.

Youshi, Qin Keqing, and Wang Xifeng actually met Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and other female relatives of the Rongguo Mansion in such a way. It felt quite like the original novel.

The female family members of Rongguo Mansion looked at Yuan Qingbai.

Lin Daiyu was peeking at Yuan Qingbai, and secretly thinking in her heart: "I heard that this prince is a brave man, and now I see it."

Yuan Qingbai smiled at Jia Mu and said, "There are quite a few people here today."

Jia Mu said respectfully: "Yesterday, I got an order from the prince, saying that I can bring more women with me. It's okay to have girls."

"The female relatives in the house all wanted to follow her, not only to meet the princess, but also to learn more about her."

"You can come wherever you want. I've brought quite a few here today."

Yuan Qingbai smiled and said: "Yesterday, the princess found her happy pulse. I was very happy. I learned that she misses the old lady and mother-in-law, so I arranged for you to enter the palace today. I'm tired of you all making this trip."

Mother Jia hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please don't say this. We can't bear it. We can come here to see the princess today, and it's not too late to thank you."

Yuan Qingbai took another look at the female relatives of the Rongguo Mansion in the hall, and smiled at Jia Mu: "There are so many people here, some I have seen and some I have never met. I might as well introduce them all. I am interested in getting to know more of your family members. After all, we are all members of the same family."

Jia Mu immediately introduced her. She first pointed at Li Wan and said, "This is Princess Li, the daughter-in-law of her eldest brother Zhu, the princess."

Li Wan was a little embarrassed, but he still gave Yuan Qingbai a blessing: "Greetings to the prince."

Yuan Qingbai nodded and asked with a smile: "How is Brother Jia's health? Are you still studying hard?"

Li Wan was a little flattered and hurriedly said respectfully: "Back to the prince, he is in good health and has been studying hard. He will take the provincial examination this year."

Yuan Qingbai smiled and said: "I heard Brother Jia say that if he fails the provincial examination and the general examination one after another, I think he will win the examination this year and become a Jinshi next year."

Li Wan was even more flattered and his face turned red: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind words."

All in all, Jia Zhu is already twenty-one years old this year. Yuan Qingbai's method of keeping him alive has worked, but I don't know if he can survive in the long term.

When Mother Jia saw Yuan Qingbai looking at her, she smiled knowingly and pointed at Zhen Baofen: "This is Princess Zhen, the daughter-in-law of Princess Lian's second brother."

Zhen Baofen squatted down and said with a smile: "Greetings to the prince."

Yuan Qingbai smiled and nodded. Instead of chatting with Zhen Baofen, he glanced at Wang Xifeng.

Zhen Baofen is also beautiful in appearance, but she is a bit inferior to Wang Xifeng.

Zhen Baofen was disappointed. Huh, this prince didn't even say a word to me.

At this time, Jia Mu pointed to Lin Daiyu: "This is my granddaughter Daiyu. Her father Lin Ruhai is the salt inspector in Yangzhou."

Lin Daiyu was shy and coy and bowed to Yuan Qingbai: "Greetings to the prince."

Yuan Qingbai stared at Lin Daiyu intently. She was a young girl, but she did have two eyebrows that seemed to be frowned but not frowned, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be happy but not happy. She did look like she was suffering from a disease.

It has been almost seven years since he traveled through time, and he finally met Sister Lin today.

Yuan Qingbai smiled and said: "I look good at this sister, as if I have seen her before."

Lin Daiyu: "..."

I was surprised, how could this prince say what Brother Bao said when I first met Brother Bao!

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were also surprised.

Tanchun couldn't help but chuckle.

Yingchun and Xichun didn't dare to laugh at first, but when they saw Tanchun smiling, they laughed too.

Some maids from Rongguo Mansion also laughed.

Yuanchun was confused: "What is going on?"
