Qi Concubine's Cultivation Notes in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 153

It is reasonable to say that the appetite in winter is better than that in summer, and with the addition of nourishing soup in winter, Nian's people will be nourished and plump, and their skin will be white, but in winter when they are imperial concubines, Nian's appetite is not very good. Occasionally seeing himself in the bronze mirror, his face became smaller. This winter was extremely cold, so Nian felt that his hands and feet were cold when he went out, so he let the charcoal fire heat him up and leaned himself in the room.

Nian stayed in the palace when the weather was cold. After a long time, he became tired and lacked energy. He yawned one after another. When it was the day to ask for his pulse, the imperial concubine realized that her menstrual period was delayed by ten days. It hasn't come yet.

"I said that Lazy had forgotten something, but it turned out to be this." The imperial concubine said triumphantly.The more I think about it, the more I feel that there is a small life in my stomach, and I plan to wait until the imperial doctor has ordered the Ping An pulse to replenish her body. She has really lost a lot of weight during this time. Although she looks good in clothes, she is hungry. My dear, she will feel distressed.

The imperial doctor who asked for Nian's pulse shook off the snowflakes on the cloak, and then the little maid beside the imperial concubine had already taken the cloak and hung it up.The brazier in the house was fully heated, the maids were all in thin clothes, only Nian Shi who was sitting on the seat

He smiled and said, "Is there a lot of snow outside?"

"Returning to your mother, it started to snow this morning, and it has already fallen all over the ground." The imperial doctor said, after only staying in the room for a while, he felt that the fire in the room was too strong, and even his body began to sweat.

"When the snow stops, I think it will be very beautiful to come to the imperial garden." Nian said with a smile, because of the guess just now, he was in a good mood, "Mr. Li, take your pulse."

Nian was thinking about what to prepare in the small kitchen, but he didn't notice that Dr. Li's brows were furrowed, and there was more and more sweat on his forehead. "Ma'am, is there any discomfort these days?"

"I don't have a good appetite, I can't eat much and greasy food." Nian said lightly, "Every day I always feel that I don't have much energy and I want to sleep."

The imperial physician only felt that Nian's pulse was fluctuating, probably because he was not used to living in the palace, his appetite was small and his body was cold, and he fell asleep at the same time. Thinking of this, the imperial physician calmed down and said: "Your Majesty, use some prescriptions that invigorate the spleen and stomach. Well, if it’s snowing outside, you can also walk around the palace.”

"What?" Nian frowned, "Mr. Li, isn't she pregnant? Could there be a mistake?"

The imperial doctor said: "The empress has a bad appetite, which causes her body to be cold and drowsy every day. The servant repeatedly diagnosed and confirmed that it is not a slippery pulse." I am pregnant.The fine beads of sweat on his forehead turned into sweat and rolled down his cheeks, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe off the sweat. "If the empress wants to..."

Nian's ecstasy became a joke. He thought he was pregnant, but in the end he got the reply from the imperial physician that he should take good care of his body. His face turned cold, and before the imperial physician finished speaking, he said: "I am tired, Qiuju will take care of my body." This Palace will send Imperial Physician Li off."

Doctor Li originally wanted to tell the imperial concubine to keep the brazier down, and if it was cold, she still needed to do more activities. At this time, she pressed the button and put on her gown, and suddenly she was in the cold wind. Shivering, sweating all over the house just now, and now being blown by the cold wind again, it is really uncomfortable.Being an imperial physician in the palace seems to be an honor, but in fact he is hanging his head. Fortunately, he reached the age before the Chinese New Year and left the palace.

Nian's expression was ugly in the room, he dropped two cups and swayed, Qiu Ju hurriedly supported Nian, "Niang Niang."

"It's nothing." Nian waved his hand, "It's just that my mood fluctuates too much."

Nian took the pills for invigorating the stomach and spleen, and he really felt much better. Although this time the moon letter days were shorter and the russet was darker than usual, he ate more than before, his complexion was not plump, and he did not continue reduce.The weather was getting colder day by day, and there were occasional coughing sounds in the Kunning Palace. Although the coughing was still there, it was much better than before.

Hongpan and Nala entered the palace to pay their respects, and they also talked about going to Concubine Wen to pay their respects. Hongpan found Li Yunting in private and said: "Concubine Wen's vision is different from others. If Er Niang gets something from her My idea, don't say anything, just tell your son." After thinking for a while, he added, "If something shocks the world, Er Niang will write it down."

Li Yunting nodded Hongpan's forehead, "The time you spend with Concubine Wen may not be as long as I spend with her."

Hong Pan smiled and said: "What Er Niang said is reasonable, it's because my son is worrying too much."

"Let's talk about it first. When I go to Concubine Wen's place, I often meet Mrs. Shang." Mrs. Shang is from the Niu Hulu family. After Kangxi's death, her status was also raised. "I'm afraid Concubine Wen doesn't have the time to tell me that she got it from Western books." Both Li Yunting and Hong Pan knew that such a statement was just Li Rulan's excuse.

"My son heard about it, and Erniang also taught them two pieces of Western Chinese." Hongpan said, "How well do they learn?"

"Concubine Wen is nothing more than Concubine Wen. Taipin Shang didn't like it very much at the beginning, but now she has found the fun, and it's easy to say. It's just passing the time in the palace." Li Yunting said, Kangxi died, and their concubine too There is no competition for favor among concubines, and they get along more harmoniously than before, and there is less tit-for-tat, and life feels a little dull. Learning Western language is the fun of Concubine Wen and Concubine Wen to pass the time.

"Er Niang is very good." Hong Pan said with a smile, "Just to remind you, if Concubine Wen doesn't get anything, then that's all."

Li Yunting nodded, "Your daughter-in-law doesn't look very well today, how is she doing now?"

Hongpan talked about Nala's expression softly, "I've been feeling unwell for the past two days, I've already invited the imperial doctor, and they said it's better to rest."

"Nonsense, then you still bring her into the palace?" Li Yunting frowned slightly and said.

"My son can't persuade her," Hong Pan said.

Hongpan hesitated a few times when he spoke this time, and Li Yunting said, "Is there anything else that can't be said?"

"No." Hongpan lowered his head and thought for a while, "I just want to talk about that imperial concubine, her good life is coming to an end." The human life that is about to die seems to be insignificant.

Li Yunting said indifferently: "I have been avoiding her all this time, it is not good to see her when I greet you in Kunning Palace, she is much thinner than before."

"Aren't you surprised?" Hong Pan raised his eyebrows.

"Your Ama is not a person who has lived under others for a long time. He cannot be constrained by Nian Gengyao all the time." Li Yunting said, "Even if Nian is gentle and harmless, like a lotus flower swaying in the wind, I'm afraid..." There won't be any good ending, not to mention that she is so arrogant now, and even plans to become a queen.

Hong Pan could understand Li Yunting's unspoken words. His Ama was so rational that he was almost cold-blooded. Such iron-blooded methods were suitable for a while, but they were not a long-term solution.Hong Pan said: "From now on, my son will not."

Li Yunting looked at Hongpan, said with a smile: "I raised you, I know."

The topic turned back to Nian Shi, Hong Pan said: "In fact, my son also hates the concubine's behavior. If Ama doesn't act again, my son will probably fight for Er Niang."

Li Yunting said: "It's not worth it to ruin other people's lives for this matter." After Yinzhen ascended the throne, Hongpan also had a faint dragon spirit. Quite serious, even his words and deeds, one action involves the lives of tens of thousands of people, such a cause and effect, what Li Yunting can teach Hongpan is to act cautiously, and to be cautious about small matters. You have to open up.

The two talked again for a while, and Hongpan also took Nalashi away. Li Yunting still remembered Hongpan's words, and told Nalashi: "If you don't feel well next time, don't hold back. Ask someone to take you with you." Just a letter, I know your filial piety."

Nalashi responded with a smile, his eyes were as bright as stars.

During the Chinese New Year, when everyone gathered together, both Wulanarashi and Nianshi's face were covered with thick powder, and at first glance they looked even older than Li Yunting.This discovery made Nian feel uncomfortable. Li Yunting looked at Nian, and the lifeless energy wrapped around her body was different from Honghui's, as if a heavy chain was tied around her neck, bending her spine.Li Yunting staggered her eyes and stopped looking at the imperial concubine in full dress.

This is Yinzhen's first New Year since he ascended the throne, no matter what he thinks in his heart, there is a smile on his face, and the feast is full of excitement.

The Laba porridge enjoyed by the Holy Majesty is a kindness to the officials. On the cold snowy night, the important officials and their family members are all on vigil, and they have to give thanks for the cold Laba porridge.The little eunuchs shuttled between the palace and the capital with food boxes, and snowflakes fell from the sky.

After saying the auspicious words, everyone withdrew from the Kunning Palace, and the noble concubine returned to her own palace from the Kunning Palace, her body was still stiff, and when she took off her makeup, her lips were a little black. "Niang Niang." Qiu Ju is now the most sympathetic person among the maidservants, and said with some worry: "The servant will rub your hands and feet for you, and you will be warm after a while, and the bed will also be warm. When your body is warm, go to sleep. Enough."

"You've done a good job." Even if Nian Shi fell ill today, he would not invite the imperial physician to touch Yinzhen's bad luck. He could only hope that he would not get sick.

Qiuju called the little girl, and applied hot water to Nianshi, then rubbed Nianshi's hands and feet for about a quarter of an hour, and sure enough, her body was much warmer.

After Nian fell asleep, she had a fever on the second day. On the first day of the first lunar month, she was unwilling to invite the imperial physician, so she asked her mother to go to Kunning Palace to take a leave of absence. wrapped himself up.
