Kangxi Harem Ⅰ: Green Years

Chapter 121 (28) The Empress Gives Birth to Zi An Fengwei (Part [-])
[The queen gave birth to another dragon son, but she saw that Dahong was in danger;]

[Rong'er was worried about the safety of the phoenix, and the king angrily criticized the imperial doctor. 】

Rong'er was eating breakfast in the early morning, Qiu'e came in and told Rong'er happily: "My lord, the queen's master is about to give birth, the midwife has already entered, and the imperial doctor is waiting."

Rong'er put down the bowl and chopsticks, feeling extremely happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Really? That's great, let's go, let's go and have a look, and hope that the queen can give birth to a prince.

Rong'er arrived at the gate of Dongnuan Pavilion in the main palace, and saw four imperial doctors waiting at the gate, and two maids guarding the outer gate. After seeing Rong'er, they greeted Rong'er together, and Rong'er asked the court lady: "Your Majesty ?”

"Returning to my lord, I have already sent someone to report. The reply said that the emperor is in the court, and he will report after the court." The maid replied respectfully, Rong'er looked at it and asked: "Where is Jing'er?"

"Back to my lord, Jing'er is in the warm pavilion waiting for the empress to give birth."

Rong'er nodded and waited outside the door, she wanted to guard the queen so that she could see the child sooner.

The queen's painful birth sound came from inside the room, which made Rong'er think of the pain she had experienced not long ago, thinking of the prince she had never even met, the greatest wish of a woman in her life is her husband and children, But these women in the harem can't grasp both. The emperor is the emperor of the world, and thinking of the three sons he gave birth to before, although he gave birth to three children, but because he is a dragon son and his status is low Unable to raise her by herself, she can't help but feel very powerless, and this kind of life must continue in this harem... Rong'er lost his mind when he thought about it.

"Little Master Rong!" Until someone called softly, Rong'er saw clearly that Aunt Su Ma Lagu next to the Empress Dowager was coming.

"Aunt Su." Rong'er hurriedly got up and called out respectfully. Although Aunt Su Mala was only a court lady, since she had been with the Empress Dowager since she was a child, and she was also a person who had gone through three dynasties, everyone in the palace respected her very much. , even the emperor and queen mother are courteous to her.

"The empress dowager heard that the queen was about to give birth, so she sent the old slave over to watch over her. When the queen gave birth safely, she asked the old slave to spread the good news back." Aunt Su Ma smiled and explained her purpose, " What is Young Master Rong thinking? He was so engrossed in thinking that he didn't even see the old slave come in."

"Oh, it's nothing." Rong'er smiled lightly, and said sincerely: "Rong'er just remembered the child who didn't even see what he looked like, I hope the queen can give birth safely this time. So miserable."

After hearing Rong'er finished speaking, Aunt Su Mala looked at Rong'er with distress and said softly: "Master Rong has indeed suffered a lot of pain this year, don't think about it, it will get better, everything will get better."

Rong'er smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your comfort, Auntie, Rong'er will forget, will forget."

Aunt Su sighed softly: "There are too many things happening in this palace this year, and even the old slave is in grief. It is conceivable how sad the Empress Dowager is. Letting the old slave guard is also the ancestor's wish for peace of mind." .”

"The empress is so nice, God will bless her, she will be fine at all." Rong'er said as if praying.

"Yes, the Buddha has long eyes." Aunt Su Ma said firmly. Since she served the Empress Dowager every day, La Aunt Su Ma also believed in Buddhism very much.

Reader question explained:
1. Does Rong Xian’s fast one-year-old mentioned here mean almost one year old? Didn’t Rong’er just give birth to Changhua just over 20 days ago? Because it was premature, then September plus these 20 days is just enough for ten years. One month! So when should Rong'er be pregnant? Is there something wrong?
Answer: Rong Xian was born on the sixth day of May in the 12th year of Kangxi, and the empress was born in the beginning of May in the 5th year of Kangxi. As written above, the queen is due to give birth, so she is almost one year old.

And Rong'er was pregnant with Changhua, the time of conception in the article was August of the 12th year of Kangxi, and the time of giving birth was April of the 13th year of Kangxi, which was more than nine months. That's right, because Yuetong said in the article that Rong'er was born prematurely.

2. The queens of the Qing Dynasty only lived in the East Nuan Pavilion of the Kunning Palace for 3 days when they were newly married. Afterwards, they moved to the Chuxiu Palace. The Kunning Palace was a place of worship and sacrifice in the Qing Dynasty, but it was the queen's bedroom in the Ming Dynasty
Reply:

Yuetong can be sure that there is nothing wrong with Kangxi's empress, at least the first two empresses are firmly settled in Kunning Palace.

In "Kangxi Veritable Records", when the first two queens died, the original words were clearly recorded: the queen died in the "Kunning Palace", only Datong did not write it, so Yuetong wrote it according to historical materials, and there is no mistake.

Yuetong tended to change Kunning as a sacrificial place during Yongzheng. It was also during Yongzheng that the emperor's residence was also changed from Qianqing Palace to Yangxin Palace. The emperor did not live in Qianqing Palace, and it was reasonable for the empress to live in Kunning Palace.

Another: Chuxiu Palace: In the early Qing Dynasty, it was only occupied by ordinary concubines. Later, because the two empresses of Emperor Jiaqing lived here, the status of Chuxiu Palace has been greatly improved since the middle and late Qing Dynasty.
