Chapter 51

Cheng Qiangong

Behind the magnificent and colorful double-sided embroidered phoenix wearing the peony screen, Concubine Tong half leaned on the exquisitely carved six-tailed flying phoenix bed. Put the white silk on Hao's wrist to check the pulse through the white silk.

All the palace servants held their breath, not daring to make any movements, for fear of affecting the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis.Mammy Dong kept staring at the imperial doctor's expressionless face, her body tensed and she dared not breathe. When she saw the imperial doctor asked Concubine Tong to change her other hand, her heart also hung up.

Finally, just when all the palace people felt that they were going to die, the imperial doctor suddenly knelt down with a happy face, "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, your pulse."

"Doctor Wang is sure it's the Xi pulse?" Concubine Tong asked nervously and cautiously, holding her breath, fearing that the pulse would change the result.

"Emperor's pulse is shallow, but it's like a bead, and I'm sure that it's a happy pulse, and it will last for a month."

Just as Imperial Physician Chen was served by Guo Luoluo in secret, Imperial Physician Wang also entered the palace as an imperial physician through Tong Jia's way, so he was naturally loyal to Concubine Tong.

"Congratulations, empress!" Sijing's palace maids, Dong Momo and others all exclaimed in low joy, congratulating Concubine Tong Guifei in busy voices.

Concubine Tong Guifei was already overwhelmed with joy at this time, she saw a gentle and gentle smile on her clear and refined face, and a smile overflowed in her bright phoenix eyes, her whole body seemed to be shocked by the shocking happy event, and her body and mind were immersed in happiness.

Small hands like white jade caressed her flat stomach, there was a child here, her and her cousin's child!She couldn't believe it was true. She had been looking forward to it for 12 years, and she finally had a child who was related to her cousin's blood.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty..." Dong Mama saw Concubine Tong smirking in a dazed manner and hurried forward to wake her up without saying a word.

"Mammy?"

"Ma'am, Imperial Physician Wang is still here."

"I lost my composure, Imperial Physician Wang, I have a fetus in my womb and it will be fine."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Majesty's pulse is steady and strong. If your Majesty is healthy, the fetus will be fine."

"Prince Wang is pregnant, but there are some taboos that need to be paid attention to. Please trouble the doctor to tell the mother carefully."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this is the responsibility of the Weichen. It's not a trouble. The Weichen will prescribe a prescription for the mother to prevent pregnancy, and I will write it down clearly. I also ask the Empress to write it according to the Weichen. It is only necessary to pay attention to the miscarriage.”

This is the emperor's heir whom the Tong family has been looking forward to for so long. If he accidentally fails to save the life of his family who was born in a dragon, it will be over.

Concubine Tong naturally heard the truth in Wang Taiyi's words, "Wang Taiyi can reassure them as much as possible, this is the child I have been begging for so hard, and I will give up my life to give him a safe birth."

No one knew how much she had paid for this child, no one could understand her expectations for this child, and she would not regret even taking her life for this child.

After listening to Imperial Physician Wang explaining the food and drug taboos for pregnant women and all the things that are unfavorable to pregnant women and how to protect the pregnancy, Madam Dong personally sent Imperial Physician Wang out before going back.

Concubine Tong Gui still sat and leaned on the bed in the dormitory, her hands still stroking her stomach.

"Your Majesty, if you are tired from sitting for a long time, you'll be fine. You'd better lie down and rest."

"Mommy, I'm pregnant. Here's a child..." Concubine Tong looked up at Nanny Dong, with tears of joy overflowing from her eyes.

How could she not know the pain in her master's heart, but in this harem, it is not only her own master who suffers. "Your Majesty, don't worry, the tears will stop soon. This is a happy event, don't cry away your luck!"

"En!" After listening to Madam Dong's words, Concubine Tong stopped crying immediately, fearing that crying would take away the blessing of the child in her womb.

"Mommy, I have sent someone to tell my cousin that I am pregnant. Tell my cousin quickly. My cousin will be very happy if he finds out that I am pregnant."

This is her and her cousin's child, thinking of the past friendship between the two, and thinking about the happy life together with her cousin and their children in the future, the happy smile on Concubine Tong's blushing face bloomed like a spring flower, and she was very happy. is charming.

"I sent Xiao Zhangzi to Qianqing Palace to announce the good news in person." In fact, Madam Dong did not agree with the news that her master was pregnant immediately. In her opinion, she would have to wait at least three months after the pregnancy was stabilized. It's more appropriate to come out again.But my mother-in-law insisted on making Long Live Lord happy, and she, a slave, couldn't stop her.

"I don't know if this baby is an elder brother or a little princess. If it is an elder brother, it will be fine. If it is an elder brother in the future..."

"Young lady be careful, the current crown prince is the crown prince!"

Mammy Dong really frightened Concubine Tong into a cold sweat.The words of her family's own son really made their master and servant walk around the gate of hell. If people hear these words, I am afraid that the master will not be able to keep the dragon fetus.

Who in the palace didn't know that Long Live Lord valued the crown prince the most. A few days ago, just because a little eunuch didn't take good care of the crown prince, the crown prince fell and broke a little skin, not even bleeding.However, the Long Live Lord was furious and killed more than a dozen servants who were serving the prince.

"Your Majesty, don't mention this before the words of the Long Live Lord, and you should never have such thoughts again. You should know the crown prince's position in the heart of the Long Live Lord, Your Majesty. If you let the Long Live Lord know that the Empress has such thoughts, I'm afraid..."

"No, I absolutely don't allow anyone to hurt my child." Concubine Tong woke up as if a pot of cold water had been poured on her head, "Don't worry, mama, I just had a nightmare, and I know what to do what."

Yes!She actually forgot that the Long Live Lord was still guarding against her Tong Jia clan, otherwise how could she still be just a noble concubine!In the future, the identity of the niece of the Empress Dowager is no less than that of Hesheli and Niu Hulu, so why can't she be a queen!
"That medicine is really good medicine. I can conceive after only one return to the palace. It's a pity that there is only one medicine. It would be great if I could have a few more medicines." Second child, unfortunately.

"Your Majesty is now pregnant and you must not think about it too much. It is a great blessing to have such a magic medicine. Your Majesty can think about Yipin Madam!"

For this medicine, several nails buried by Queen Mother Tong have been exposed. It should be enough to have such a medicine.

It's just how a slave Dong Mama can understand the ambition of a high-ranking concubine. If she has not been able to get a noble concubine Tong, she may be satisfied. Now that she has a way, she naturally wants more.

"No, I can't wait to see that slut Yipin envious and jealous of Bengong." Yipin and she were ridiculed by the harem as hens that don't lay eggs, and now she is pregnant as she wished. Yipin is the only hen that doesn't lay eggs, and she will fight back this time.

"Mommy, Yipin's illness should be cured. If I'm sick for a long time, I'm afraid my cousin will be suspicious. After all, I'm from the Guo Luoluo family." In the harem, apart from her and Niu Hulu's family, Yipin's sisters were the highest born. My brother valued Guo Luoluo's family very much, and she couldn't let her cousin find out that Yipin's illness was caused by her.

Concubine Tong's main hall invited the imperial physician and there was a congratulatory voice, how could Wu Ya, who was also in Chengqian Palace, not know.

"Qiuli, let's see what happened in the main hall?" Wu Yashi was grounded in the hall and couldn't go out, seeing Qiuli seeing Dim Sum coming in, she ordered her to check.

"My lord..." Qiu Li looked at Wu Yashi anxiously with a look of embarrassment on her face.

"What is hesitating?"

"Just now the imperial concubine invited the imperial physician to diagnose the happy pulse." Qiu Li said timidly, not daring to look at Wu Ya.Ever since the incident with Yin Guiren and Wen Guiren, her young master has become more and more terrifying, just a glance can make her heart beat.

"Concubine Tong Gui is pregnant!!" Wu Yashi stared at Qiu Li with disbelief.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Tong Guifei, who has been in the palace for more than ten years and has been laughed at by a hen that does not lay eggs for more than ten years, is pregnant. This is too unbelievable!
"Yes, it's been a month, and all the slaves in the main hall are so happy." Qiu Li secretly envied her, but the slaves of the imperial concubine are different.

It's just that she didn't expect that she carelessly forgot to hide the envy in her tone, and her face turned cold when Wu Yashi heard it.

"Why, are you envious? You don't like this young master, but you also want to climb high to become the concubine's slave, don't you?"

A piercing gaze slanted towards Qiuli, causing Qiuli to kneel down on the ground trembling all over in fright. "Young master calm down, slaves don't dare to have delusions."

"It's better to be like this, let's go down!" It's just a slave who dares to look down on her.But in an instant, Wu Yashi, who had a fierce look on his face, changed back to a gentle and submissive look.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Tong Gui was pregnant, and her little hands were clenched tightly, and there were bloodstains.

A few days ago, she just got a letter from her family, asking her to find a way to raise her little elder brother under Concubine Tong Gui's knee, so as to improve her little elder brother's status.Although she didn't want to, she had to admit that the adopted son of the imperial concubine was much higher than the son of the wrapped concubine.This background is also a kind of capital, if her little elder brother can become the adopted son of the imperial concubine, it will undoubtedly increase his bargaining chips in the future.

What's more, Concubine Tong may be promoted to a higher position, maybe the imperial concubine, or even the queen.At that time, her little elder brother will be half a legitimate son, and his status will only be half a rank lower than that of the crown prince.

But before she could decide whether to raise her little brother under Tong Guifei's lap, Tong Guifei was pregnant. If Tong Guifei gave birth to her little brother, what would happen to her brother?
No one knows better than her that Long Live God values ​​family background. Although Long Live God seems to dote on her, when he mentions the coat servant, the contempt in his eyes doesn't even bother to hide it.If her little elder brother was only the son of a concubine, he would be completely disqualified from the competition.

Long live God has grounded her for almost two months and hasn't seen her once, and he is very fond of Yin Guiren and Wen Guiren, two lowly slaves. She already has a faint feeling that Long Live God treats her less than before. It is even more difficult to get promoted.

The only way out now is to raise the little elder brother under the knee of Concubine Tong Gui. At that time, not only can the status of the little elder brother be improved, but she can also take this opportunity to win the sympathy and favor of the Lord Long Live.

Wu Yashi's eyes became vicious, so Concubine Tong...

Qianqing Palace

"Long Live Lord, Xiao Zhang from Chengqian Palace is here to see you."

"Call!" Concubine Tong, what's the matter?Kangxi put down the imperial brush in his hand, and looked in the direction of the palace gate with cold eyes.

"The servant kowtows to the Lord Long Live."

"What's the matter, concubine?"

"Congratulations, Long Live Lord, the imperial concubine and empress are happy!" Xiao Zhangzi said overjoyed.

"What did you say?" Concubine Tong Gui is pregnant?Kangxi looked at Xiao Zhangzi in surprise, he must be in a daze.How could her cousin be pregnant! ?He has obviously...

"Long live, the imperial concubine is happy, the imperial doctor said it has been a month!"

"Okay, I got it, Liang Jiugong picked a few new tribute treasures from my private treasury and sent them to the noble concubine. You go back and tell the noble concubine that I will go see her when I am done with my political affairs!"

"Hey!" Xiao Zhangzi backed away nervously.He heard that Long Live Lord seemed very surprised that there was no hint of happiness in his voice.Doesn't Long Live Lord not want the imperial concubine to conceive?Xiao Zhangzi's heart was pounding, and he didn't dare to think about it any more.

"Liang Jiugong, drive to the Palace of Compassion!" After Xiao Zhangzi left, Kangxi approved the memorial for a while, and couldn't stand it anymore. He threw the memorial on the dragon case and called Liang Jiugong to prepare his chariot!
In the Palace of Mercy Ning, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was half leaning on the couch with her eyes closed, spinning the red Buddhist beads in her hand.Aunt Su Ma quietly walked up to Xiao Zhuang and whispered: "Ge Ge, the Long Live Lord is here!"

"Huh? Xuan Ye? Xuan Ye came to look for Ai's family at this time..." Could it be that her grandson encountered a difficult problem again? "Well, let him in."

"Grandson pays respects to Emperor Mama."

"Hehe, Xuanye is here, hurry up, get up and sit down at Ai's house."

"Emperor Mama..." Kangxi didn't know what to say for a while, the imperial concubine was his cousin after all, and she was pregnant with his child.He knew how much his cousin was looking forward to this child, and he couldn't bear to let her down.

"What? What happened to the grandson of Ai's family, come to Ai's family to hear about it!"

"Huang Mama, my cousin is pregnant." Kangxi said cousin instead of Concubine Tong, because he wanted to remind Xiaozhuang that he also had affection for Concubine Tong.

It was difficult to make a decision at the time, and Kangxi needed someone to analyze and bear for him, and this person was his imperial grandmother who was the most suitable person.

"Concubine Tong, it's a good thing to conceive, it's the emperor's blood." Xiao Zhuang's eyes were all over the palace. She knew about Concubine Tong's pregnancy as early as Wang Taiyi came out of Chengqian Palace, but she didn't want to interfere.The emperor has grown up and has his own ideas, and she doesn't want to offend her grandson.

"But Baocheng..."

The Tong family can't have another elder brother!

If there is another elder brother from the Tong family, I am afraid that his ambition will become bigger and bigger.If so, it will threaten his prince Baocheng.Baocheng is his legitimate son, the crown prince he valued, and he will never allow anyone to threaten Baocheng's status, not even his mother's family!If the crown prince is moved, the country will be unstable, which he cannot allow.

"Baocheng is the crown prince. With you as the emperor protecting him, who would dare to touch him. Besides, the imperial concubine has only been pregnant for one month, and I don't know if she is a man or a woman. Xuan Ye, you are too worried."

No matter what, you have to wait until three months to know whether it is a man or a woman before making a decision. If you leave it to the noble concubine, you can also calm the heart of Tong Guifei and stabilize Tong Jiashi.

"What Mamo said was that the grandson didn't think well."

Hey, I hope it's a princess, which can also fulfill my cousin's wish.If it's an elder brother, he... Let's talk about it later.

Kangxi chatted with Xiaozhuang for a while and came out of the Cining Palace and went directly to Chengqian Palace to see Concubine Tong.

Concubine Tong was pregnant with a dragon fetus, which made the concubines of the six palaces jealous, and now the Lord Long Live rushed to see her again, and the concubines in the harem tore countless silk brocade handkerchiefs.

Concubine Yi in Yikun Palace heard the news of Concubine Tong's pregnancy, she was out of breath and fainted for a while, so panicked that Xueli Xuetong and the others almost ran out to ask for the imperial physician, and returned to Concubine Yi who usually didn't pay much attention to it. The nanny stopped the two of them, and gave Yipin a pat on the back, and Yipin was relieved.

"Your Majesty, how are you doing? Don't scare your slaves." Xue Li was so anxious that tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Sister Sydney, don't listen to this old bastard, why should we hire an imperial physician, if something happens to your mother, even if we have a few heads, we won't be able to cut it off!"

"You don't need to call the imperial physician, I'm fine." Yipin who came over quickly stopped Xuetong from calling the imperial physician, looked up at the nanny who was helping her and said:

"Mommy is right, you can't call the imperial physician. If it is reported that I am dizzy at this time because the noble concubine is pregnant, how will everyone in the sixth palace see me, and how does Long Live God see me!!"

No matter what, she can't ask the imperial physician at this juncture, otherwise it will soon be reported in the harem that Yipin fainted because she was jealous of the imperial concubine's pregnancy. How could she let the incident that ruined her reputation happen now.

"You are?" Ever since her nanny passed away from illness, she has been unwilling to use a nanny to serve her, so the nanny assigned by Yikun Palace are all doing rough work, and they can't get close to her.Now it seems that Xueli Xuetong is still too young and not calm enough, maybe she should keep a nanny by her side to remind Xuetong and others.

"The servant girl is Nanny Lan who is in charge of the needle and thread." Nanny Lan had worked in the palace for decades and naturally knew that this was her chance, so she knelt down to reply humbly.

"Nurse Lan did a good job just now, so you can stay by my side to serve you from now on."

"Thank you for your grace!"

"Xuetong, go and boil a bowl of medicine for Bengong. I feel that my body is much better. I must take care of my body as soon as possible." After getting the medicine, she was waiting for the opportunity of Lord Long Live to call her to bed, but she didn't expect that She became ill the next day after receiving the medicine, and the illness lasted for a month.If it wasn't for her illness, how could Tong Jiashi be ahead of her.

Since it's later than Concubine Tong, it doesn't matter, who gives birth to elder brother is the most important.

"Sydney, you go and check according to the number of people. I always feel that Concubine Tong's pregnancy is strange." Her intuition has always been accurate, and she always feels that Concubine Tong's pregnancy must have something to do with her.Otherwise, she hadn't conceived for more than ten years but she conceived when she was sick.

Yipin suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly sent all the palace people out to look at the hidden compartments where she kept her medicine, and sure enough, the medicine in one of the hidden compartments was gone.

"Tong Jiashi, I will never die with you in this life!" Yipin said while clutching the only remaining medicine, her eyes were red with anger, and she gritted her teeth with hatred.

Tong Jiashi dared to bury nails beside her and steal her medicine. If she found out who it was, she would kill him alive.
