Chapter 12: Production is Coming
The former dynasty and the harem returned to their former tranquility, and Kangxi was no longer obsessed with finding the otherworldly soul. He just thought that night was a dream, and he suppressed the matter in his heart and began to summon his concubines to sleep with him again.
The first person to be summoned was Concubine Yi, and she was the one who slept with the emperor for three consecutive days. For a while, Concubine Yi was so favored that everyone in the palace looked at her with awe.
After Concubine Yi served the emperor in bed, Kangxi began to order people around at will. He had to give respect to the Imperial Noble Concubine, and could not forget the gentle and considerate Concubine De. In short, except for those who were particularly unpopular or were forgotten after serving the emperor in bed once, almost all the concubines in the palace had their turn.
Where is Yuying?
Kangxi was so absorbed in the beauty that he had no idea there was a young concubine waiting to be summoned by him.
Yuying's life was no different from before. Concubine An had long given up the idea of letting her compete for favor. Concubine Yin and Concubine Miao, who were not on good terms with her, were also not favored, so they only made a few sarcastic remarks occasionally, but it didn't hurt. Concubine Zhang Jia, who was on good terms with her, was still happy to feed her every day. As for Yuying, she was always afraid when she saw her belly getting bigger day by day.
As for competing for favor? Sorry, Yuying has forgotten about it.
Please, who is this? Yuying looked at Zhang Jia's belly and smiled strangely. This is the future permanent vice emperor! As long as she holds on tightly, when Yongzheng ascends the throne, is there any need to worry that her life will be difficult in the future?
"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Zhang Jia looked at Yuying's increasingly weird smile and couldn't help but speak worriedly.
Yuying finally woke up from her sweet dream. She looked at Zhang Jia's belly with shining eyes and excitedly held her hand. "Sister Zhang Jia! From now on, you are my biological sister! The baby in your belly is my biological nephew!"
Zhang Jia was no longer surprised by Yuying's sudden enthusiasm, and let Yuying hold her hand.
After all, Yuying has been like this since she became pregnant, so she didn't think much about it and just thought that Yuying also wanted a child.
"Sister, you will have your own children in the future!" She even kindly patted Yuying's hand in return.
Yuying pouted, but didn't refute her. But in her heart she couldn't help but refute, bah, bah, she didn't want to have a child, she just ate and drank every day and took care of her health, trying to live longer than Kangxi, a happy retirement life was waving at her!
As for the ambitions she had two months ago, Yuying had long forgotten them.
All things are difficult at the beginning, as long as you are willing to give up. She should just be an honest salted fish. She doesn't have the diamond drill, so she should not take on this porcelain job.
Perhaps everything is destined. God let her travel through time, perhaps just to let her witness with her own eyes the tragic scene of the future battle for the throne of the Nine Dragons.
Yuying stopped thinking and looked at Zhang Jia's belly. The only two future winners were right in front of her. She must hold on to this golden thigh!
"Sister...good sister, let me touch your belly, let me get in touch with my future nephew!" Yuying blinked at Zhang Jia with a longing look.
Zhang Jia blushed, she had never seen such a straightforward woman, since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the former dynasty advocated Chinese studies, advocated the Manchus and the Han people as one family, and the women in the harem also learned the gentleness of the Han women and put away the heroic and valiant set on the grassland. But the person in front of her, clearly looked like a Jiangnan woman, and her temperament was comparable to that of a Manchu woman.
"Sister, you...you touch me." She has always been a coward and has never refused anyone, not to mention that she is facing a person with no bad intentions. Sometimes she wonders why her sister looks so, so servile? It must be an illusion. She shouldn't think of her sister like this in her heart. Why does she think so in her heart?
Zhang Jia looked tenderly at the woman who was caressing her pregnant belly, and even thrust out her belly to make it easier for her to touch.
Yuying felt the touch of her hands, and her mind had already flown away. My dear nephew, I watched you being born. When you grow up, don't forget to be filial to your mother and me.
Yuying was touching her soft pregnant belly, but suddenly she felt the person next to her stiffen. She looked up and saw that Zhang Jia's face had turned pale and cold sweat was streaming down her forehead. Frightened, Yuying immediately let go of her hand and jumped away.
"Sister...sister, what's wrong with you?" Yuying asked cautiously.
"Sister, I...I'm about to give birth..."
“Ah——” Yuying had never seen anyone giving birth before, and she was completely stunned, “This…this…”
Qingtao and Qiuhua, who heard Yuying's panicked voice outside the door, hurried in, only to see their two mistresses, one lying on the couch holding her stomach, and the other standing aside and spinning in place.
Seeing Qingtao coming in, Yuying was like seeing a savior, "Qingtao! Come quickly! Sister Zhangjia is about to give birth!"
The two people who had just come in were stunned for a moment by the sudden news, and only reacted when they heard Yuying speaking.
Qing Tao immediately went out and called for help, "Help, help, Concubine Zhang Jia is about to give birth!"
When Qing Tao shouted, two maids came out from next door immediately. They were the maids specially invited by Concubine An to take care of Concubine Zhang Jia's baby.
The two maids took one look at the current situation and made a decision.
"Move the concubine into the delivery room first."
"Send someone to get the imperial physician and the midwife, quickly!"
"Has anyone gone to report to Concubine An?"
Yuying was originally standing there in a daze, but she immediately responded after hearing this: "I'll go, I'll go!" While running towards the main hall, she did not forget to instruct Qingtao, "Qingtao, you stay here and see if you need help. I'll go find Concubine An and will be back soon!"
Concubine An was looking at the account book in the palace when she heard the shameless Wei Ying's voice coming from far away, "Concubine An... Concubine An!"
When Yuying saw Concubine An, she was still catching her breath and was about to speak.
“…”
Then I heard Concubine An ordered: "Come here, serve tea to Wei Ying." Then she looked at Yuying, "Slow down, why are you in such a hurry? Fortunately, this is in my palace. If you were outside and accidentally bumped into someone, I wouldn't be able to save you!"
Yuying took a deep breath and hurriedly stopped him, "Wait a minute - I don't want tea! Why drink tea at this time! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come with me to see Concubine Zhang Jia! She is about to give birth!"
After saying that, he started to pull the person away.
"How dare you!" It was Nian Xue, the senior maidservant beside Concubine An. "How can you push the Majesty around?"
The sudden scolding made Yuying come to her senses. Yes, she had forgotten that she was in the Qing Dynasty, which had a strict hierarchy.
"Back off!" Concubine An shouted at Nianxue to leave, then stood up and took Yuying's hand. "Alright, don't be afraid. It's Nianxue who's being nosy. I'll punish her for you later. Didn't you just say that Concubine Zhang Jia is about to give birth? This is the most important thing right now. Let's go over there quickly!" She turned around and told Nianxue, "Send someone to report to the Qianqing Palace and Yikun Palace!"
Then he took Yuying out.
Yuying seemed to have finally come to her senses, "My Lady, don't blame Sister Nianxue, it was me who lost my sense of proportion."
When Yuying and Concubine An arrived outside the delivery room, the midwife had already gone in and the imperial physician was waiting nearby.
Yuying stretched her neck anxiously, trying to listen to the movement in the delivery room, but she could not hear any sound. She could only turn around anxiously, but she heard Anpin's laughter and looked over at a loss.
"Why are you so anxious about Concubine Zhang Jia giving birth?"
Yuying wanted to say that this was no ordinary child, but my future golden thigh, but fortunately her mind was still there, "Sister Zhang Jia treated me very well, she suffered in there, but I could not help her at all."
Yuying was really anxious. It was said that giving birth was like going through the gates of hell. This was true even in modern times when medical care was advanced, let alone in the Qing Dynasty when everything was backward.
