Chapter 405 Yixiu 83
"Qian Guiren is born, and both mother and child are safe!"
Upon hearing this, Yixiu quickly put on a smile and ordered someone to inform the emperor and the empress dowager about this matter. She also rewarded everyone in Zhongcui Palace. She and Concubine Xian looked at the little prince together to make sure that the child was healthy before leaving.
As soon as he returned to Yongshou Palace, he ordered someone to send the reward for Concubine Qian to her with three layers thicker.
"Finally, there's been a good thing going on in the palace recently. This child's arrival is just in time. I'm afraid his third-day bath and full-month celebrations will be grand."
Yixiu smiled and took off her jewelry and sat on the kang. Jianqiu, who was standing beside her, echoed her words: "Your Majesty is right. First, Imperial Noble Consort Dunhui passed away, and then Consort Shen was caught deceiving the emperor in front of everyone in Shoukang Palace..."
"Alas...After Imperial Noble Consort Dunhui left, Hongshi fell ill. When Minrong came over yesterday and I asked her about it, she said Honghui had gone to see him once, and he was utterly emaciated."
Speaking of Concubine Qi's death, Lian Yixiu had not expected this. Logically, her health was better than other women in the palace, but who would have thought that she would die of illness in the end.
As for Chen Meizhuang, she was even more miserable than in her previous life. On October 15th, everyone went to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor happened to be there. The Empress Dowager was originally concerned about the pregnancies of Concubine Hui and Concubine Wan, but suddenly Concubine Hui turned pale. After a few words of concern from the Empress Dowager, she said she had abdominal pain. She called the imperial physician and found that she had her period.
The chair was stained red, and while this was a minor embarrassment, deceiving the emperor was a major offense. The emperor hated being deceived, and in front of his mother, who was already resentful, he couldn't bear it any more. He demoted Concubine Hui to a concubine, sparing her life only for the sake of the Shen family.
Concubine Wan had pleaded for mercy on Shen's behalf twice, but now the emperor didn't even go to her place. I don't know why he went there yesterday, but he took in the official girl named Huanbi who was by Concubine Wan's side, and moved to Kepin's Chengqian Palace.
Yixiu had never imagined that the girl's wish would come true in this life, so she didn't mind helping her. Now, the emperor was happy to summon her and Noble Lady An, two "ritual masters," to his court.
She also recommended several Taoist priests who knew how to make elixirs to the bold Concubine Zhen, who had contacted her brother again. Each of them had some real skills and had been tested by her in her previous two lives. She guaranteed that the emperor would not be at all helpless in dealing with political affairs or women.
There are the profit-seeking Jiang brothers and Zhang Mi who turns a blind eye in the Imperial Hospital. Wen Shichu is devoted to Concubine Wan and Shen Da Ying.
In short, the emperor has recently felt that he can appreciate the beauty of bed more and more.
This winter is finally starting to get interesting.
…
"The roads are slippery in the snow, and you are seven months old now, which is a critical period. You can skip the greeting next time."
Yixiu, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but frown when she saw Zhen Huan's bulging belly and extremely thin body, which looked a little scary.
She didn't care about other people, but the look on Zhen Huan's face clearly said she was ready to be harmed.
Concubine Hua actually let her run away like this?
Turning my head to take a look, I saw that Concubine Hua's expression was also quite ordinary.
Is the feng shui of Jingren Palace bad? Why are the people living here all in poor health?
Thinking of this, Yixiu quickly told them to leave. No matter how they wanted to make trouble, they should not do it in her palace and should not involve her.
Zhen Huan left and took the sedan chair that Concubine Hua had specially arranged for her. She hadn't been feeling well recently. The frame-up of her sister Mei had dragged on until now, and there was no clue. Then there was Huanbi's sudden betrayal. Furthermore, she was still young, and the reaction to her first pregnancy was severe. The pain she was going through was unspeakable.
Zhen Huan's mind was in a mess along the way and she didn't notice that a big white cat suddenly jumped down from the palace wall. She was afraid of cats and was frightened. The cat jumped under the feet of the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair and caused a commotion.
With a "bang", the sedan slipped out of his hands and even turned sideways. The white cat was stimulated by the sound and showed its claws to hit the nearest person.
Zhen Huan held her belly with one hand, and the burning sensation on her neck reminded her that her face was likely to be disfigured.
What was even worse was that her stomach began to ache: "Liu Zhu, hurry up, I think I'm about to give birth..."
When Zhen Huan woke up again, she was back in her room. The strong smell of blood in the room made her heart tighten. Then she remembered that she had given birth prematurely. At the last moment before she fainted, she heard the midwife say that mother and child were safe.
Seeing that she had woken up, Liu Zhu, who was standing by, quickly called the imperial physician. As soon as Wen Shichu came in, Zhen Huan grabbed his sleeve and said, "My child, my child..."
Wen Shichu quickly consoled him, "Eighth Prince was born prematurely and is a little weak, but as long as he takes good care of himself, he will be no different from an ordinary person in the future."
Zhen Huan breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that the child was safe, but then she remembered the sudden wild cat and her scratched neck. She reached out to touch it but only felt a layer of gauze.
"The cat scratched you very deeply, but I will do my best to heal you and leave you with no scars."
"Thank you, I'm a little tired now..."
When Wen Shichu heard this, he quickly stood up and left, leaving Liu Zhu alone in the room.
"By the way, Liu Zhu hasn't congratulated you yet, young lady. Because you gave birth to the Eighth Prince, the Emperor has promoted you to Wanpin."
Zhen Huan didn't take her promotion too seriously, but instead asked, "Liu Zhu, did you tell Concubine Hua that I was attacked by a wild cat?"
Liu Zhu nodded quickly. "I told you this early in the morning, but the palace already has many cats to keep out rats, and the cat room also breeds some beautiful and famous cats for the masters to keep for fun. Cats are not like dogs, so Concubine Hua has been investigating for a long time but has not found any clues."
"Since that person has taken action, he will naturally not leave any traces."
Zhen Huan was not surprised by this, but without looking at the evidence, she realized that since she entered the palace, the only person who had been inexplicably hostile to her was Concubine Zhen.
What reasons do others have?
Zhen Huan thought so until she was out of confinement. Feeling depressed for a long time, she hurried to visit Mei Zhuang. On the way back, she ran into the Sixth Prince and two young eunuchs squatting on the ground under the rockery.
She couldn't help but reveal a kind smile on her face, and slowly walked over with Liu Zhu, but her expression changed when she got close.
"Cat, eat more."
I saw a little eunuch feeding dried meat to a big white cat, while the Sixth Prince was squatting on the other side and constantly touching the cat on the ground with his hands.
Sensing someone coming, the Sixth Prince quickly stood up. When the two young eunuchs saw her, they stomped their feet and drove the cat away.
"Empress Wan, cat."
The Sixth Prince was about to reach out to pull her, but Zhen Huan dodged him.
"Sixth Prince, why are you feeding the cat here?"
When Zhen Huan saw the Sixth Prince staring at her in a daze, she realized that her reaction was too big. Afraid of scaring the child, she quickly put on a gentle look.
"Mother, no, it's dirty."
"Mother is right. These cats run around outside every day. If Sixth Prince likes them, why not wait until they grow up before raising them?"
Zhen Huan coaxed him while looking at the two young eunuchs kneeling on the ground: "You are so brave, you dare to take the Sixth Prince to secretly feed the cat. If the cat scratches the Sixth Prince, can you bear the consequences?"
