Transmigrated into a Qing Dynasty concubine and asked the system to help me raise my children
Chapter 7 Yongzheng's First Wife 7
The Fourth Prince stayed in Lady Fujin's courtyard for half a month. Nanny Kong walked in and out with her head held high, and even Grape and Pomegranate had glows on their faces.
Shen Jiang, however, had a worried look on her face, for no other reason than that she was afraid of getting pregnant.
Given the frequency with which the Fourth Prince sleeps with her, it is only a matter of time before she gets pregnant if this continues.
But this body only shows her age of fifteen, and she doesn't want to have a baby so early.
So she asked the system to get some birth control pills for her to take.
System: "Host, I am a child-rearing system, not an abortion system!"
Shen Jiang: "You know nothing! This body is not fully developed yet. If I get pregnant directly, it will be the same as having an abortion! Besides, I haven't taken folic acid yet. What if I give birth to a...right?"
System: “Really?”
Shen Jiang: "Yes! Getting pregnant at a young age is not only harmful to the mother, but also irresponsible to the child! Haven't you seen the infant mortality rate in the Qing Dynasty? How shocking! Didn't the original owner's child die prematurely? Do you still want such a tragedy to happen?"
System: "I don't want to, I absolutely don't want to!"
After being threatened and deceived by Shen Jiang, the system was fooled.
It gave Shen Jiang a bottle of birth control pills and asked Shen Jiang to take more health supplements to make sure her body was in good shape before getting pregnant.
Now that Shen Jiang has obtained the contraceptive pill, she can be happy with the Fourth Prince without any worries.
When the day came to pay respects to Concubine De, she must have heard about what was happening in their courtyard. Knowing that the Fourth Prince had been doting on her recently, she became closer to her.
Shen Jiang has already gained the favor of Concubine De twice. Concubine De was close to her, and she accepted it all.
As soon as she left, Concubine De said to those around her, "It seems that she has really changed her temper. This is good."
The personal maid smiled and said, "The Fourth Lady is a clever person. She was just like that before because she just entered the palace and is not used to it."
Concubine De sighed and said calmly, "The Fourth Prince and I are not close. If he gets a wife who is still not close to me, that would be really boring."
The maid said with pity, "My Lord, the Fourth Prince will understand your heart sooner or later."
Concubine De pursed her lips and said nothing.
The harem was so cruel that few concubines could raise their own children. The Fourth Prince was better off, at least he was raised in the palace.
There were many princes like the eldest prince and the third prince, as well as those who died young, who were raised outside the palace.
What did the Fourth Prince care about? Was it the love and care of Empress Xiaoyiren? But Empress Xiaoyiren raised more than just him. Starting from the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, the Sixth Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the Eighth Prince were all raised in Jingren Palace.
I don’t see others becoming distant from their own mothers!
Sixth Prince, her Sixth Prince… Thinking of the Sixth Prince, Concubine De’s eyes turned red again.
The personal maid knew that she must be thinking of the Sixth Prince who died young, so she quickly advised: "My Lord, the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince should be back soon."
De Fei tucked her eyes with a handkerchief, put away her sadness, and said with a smile: "Prepare the green bean soup to relieve the heat, the steamed buns that the Thirteenth Prince likes to eat, and the white sugar oil cake that the Fourteenth Prince likes to eat, prepare them all."
Fortunately, she still had the Fourteenth Prince. The Emperor was so kind that he allowed her to raise the Thirteenth Prince, so she would not be lonely in the palace and often recall the children who died young.
When Shen Jiang returned to the prince's residence, Madam Kong came to greet him and said, "Guixiang, who is by Li Gege's side, reported that Li Gege had her period last night."
Guixiang was the new one who was brought in to serve Li. Shen Jiang frowned when he heard this and asked, "Why did you come to report now?"
Madam Kong curled her lips and said, "She said she didn't want to disturb Fu Jin's peace, so she just endured it last night until this morning, and Fu Jin happened to go to Yonghe Palace again."
Shen Jiang was so angry that she laughed and said, "Why doesn't she learn her lesson?"
The vertical lines at the corners of Madam Kong's mouth deepened with anger, and she also said, "That's right! Listen to what she said. What do you mean by disturbing the peace of the concubine? How can you be so careless about the affairs of the prince and grandson!"
Shen Jiang hesitated for a moment and said, "The Fourth Prince is not available right now, and it is inconvenient for me to invite an imperial physician. So, Madam and Grape will go together to the Yonghe Palace to see the Empress and ask her to help find an imperial physician."
If Li had reported it earlier, he wouldn't have had to run back and forth twice.
Madam Kong went to Yonghe Palace, and Concubine De was just wondering! Madam Kong told her everything about Li's behavior, and Concubine De raised her eyebrows slightly. She naturally knew the ins and outs of this, and no one should treat anyone as a fool!
"Take my badge and go to the Imperial Hospital to ask the gynecologist to come to the prince's residence." Concubine De's face remained calm and she was not in a hurry. "We can't be careless about the child's matter."
The imperial physician went to the prince's residence, prescribed medicine to preserve the pregnancy, and asked Li to rest in bed.
Shen Jiang asked about the baby's condition, and the imperial physician said carefully: "Gege is almost eight months pregnant. Take medicine and take good care of yourself. If you take good care of yourself, you will be able to give birth safely."
The implication is that if the child is not taken care of well, he may not be safe.
Shen Jiang was silent for a long while, then said, "Please wait for a moment, Imperial Physician. Wait until the Fourth Prince comes back. I'm afraid he will ask in person."
The imperial physician bowed and said, "Then I will wait here."
The Fourth Prince came back relatively early today. As soon as he returned to the study, he saw Zhang Qilin winking at Su Peisheng, but he pretended not to see it. After changing into his casual clothes, he asked, "Is there anything going on at home today?"
Su Peisheng replied, and the Fourth Prince's face became sour again, and he strode towards the backyard.
He went to Fu Jin's courtyard first, where Shen Jiang was waiting for him!
"The imperial physician is still here. Should we call him over to give me a reply?"
The Fourth Prince nodded, called the imperial physician who had been waiting in the side hall, and gave the same reply.
The Fourth Prince personally looked at the pulse case and the prescription again, with an expression that did not show whether he was happy or angry. He nodded and said, "Then follow the prescription!"
The imperial physician was relieved. These princes! Because the emperor could read medical books, these princes followed suit. When prescribing medicine, they would argue with the imperial physicians and sometimes even change the prescriptions privately. Really!
The work of the Imperial Medical Bureau is really not a job for humans.
The doctor left with the medicine box on his back. The Fourth Prince's veins popped up and he cursed, "You bastard!"
There were people kneeling on the floor in the room, but Shen Jiang was the only one who sat there motionless, and advised him instead: "Master, don't get yourself hurt by getting angry."
The Fourth Prince said angrily, "It's because I spoiled her too much in the past that she became so ignorant! I warned her last time, but she still dared to threaten me with the child!"
Who among the children who grew up in the palace doesn’t know these tricks?
Li's methods are too low!
This time, Shen Jiang won the battle without fighting, but she would never underestimate Li, after all, she was the woman favored by Yongzheng in the first half of his life.
"No matter what, it's better to give birth to the baby safely first." Shen Jiang rubbed his forehead, "Fortunately, it's only two months old. If Li is sensible, she should wait until the full term."
The system has already detected that this child will not survive to full term.
At this time, Shen Jiang did not forget to comfort Li. If it was a premature birth, it would be Li's own problem.
Anyway, she won't take the blame on herself, so let Li take it on herself! She takes it on herself!
