There is a big problem with my harem [Qing Chuan]

Concubine Zhao greeted Ann in confusion, thinking that the emperor probably wanted to see the eldest princess, so she hurriedly called Mother Tang to invite the eldest princess over.

"Did the emperor hear the empress dowager mention it? The eldest princess had a fever yesterday, and she is much better now. She will go to pay her respects to the empress dowager tomorrow." Concubine Zhaogui came to her only when she knew that the emperor had been to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay her respects. Thinking that the eldest princess was ill and disturbed Kangxi, he quickly explained in a low voice.

A trace of doubt flashed in Kangxi's eyes: "The eldest princess is sick? When?"

Concubine Zhao was stunned for a moment, her face flushed suddenly, and a chill suddenly appeared in her heart - the eldest princess treated the two empress dowagers as usual for several years in a row.But after getting sick, the two empress dowagers acted as if the eldest princess did not exist at all. Not only did they not reward them for visiting, they even had no intention of mentioning it in front of the emperor.

"...The eldest princess had a fever last night, and my concubine was worried that I would infect the queen mother with her illness, so I let the eldest princess rest today and did not go to the Compassionate Ning Palace to pay her respects." She managed to control her emotions and spoke lightly.

Kangxi was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "Since she is ill, let her rest well, don't be alarmed."

He stared at Concubine Zhaogui's slightly tired side face, opened his mouth to comfort her and tell her about Lihou's affairs, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly closed his mouth again.

He just said: "When I wait for the Empress Dowager's Longevity Day, I will choose a name for my elder brothers, and then I will also choose a name for the eldest princess. Which one does Aifei think is better? Think about it and tell me."

Concubine Zhao's eyes lit up, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face: "Is what the emperor said true?"

"Jinkou Yuyan, how can you lie?"

"Then the concubine will first thank the emperor on behalf of the eldest princess!"

Kangxi smiled and nodded, and then said: "Baoqing is a bit impetuous, I'm afraid that concubine Hui spoiled me too much. When you take the concubine to the Compassion Palace to pay her respects tomorrow, I will say something to ask Baoqing to come out and follow Cheng Hu lived together in the East Fifth Institute."

"Then prince, what is the emperor's plan?"

"The prince is two years younger than Baoqing. I want to renovate the Yuqing Palace next to it, and move there after Baocheng officially enters school." Kangxi estimated.

Concubine Zhao nodded dispensably, sent the emperor away, then leaned tiredly on the soft bed and pulled Madam Tang to talk: "As soon as the news comes out, Concubine Hui will probably hate me!"

"Third Elder Brother was spoiled by Concubine Hui." Madam Tang gloated and smiled, "I see, the Emperor is not satisfied with Concubine Hui like this!"

It's no wonder that there is only the third elder brother in the palace who is raised by his own mother's side, and it's normal for Concubine Hui to favor her.

Speaking of this, Mother Tang couldn't help but think of something, she lowered her voice and said to Concubine Zhao: "Master, it's not a servant who said, but it's just right to have a child now! Look at this concubine, don't say it, Mrs. It's not for the sake of Fifth Prince..."

Concubine Zhao didn't think so, but now she has never even been pregnant.Thinking that no one in the harem was pregnant for two consecutive years, Concubine Zhao suddenly experienced the bitterness of the previous empress.

What's more, the former empress still had a brother Chenghu back then, but she had nothing!

"Mommy, don't say such things anymore. It's been two years and no child has come out... If the concubine concubine gives birth next, it will be the empress dowager's darling, so where is it my turn to adopt it?" Zhao The imperial concubine sighed, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "You should tell the family earlier, let that girl Wen Yao enter the palace next year's draft!"

"master!?"

……

the next day.

Under Concubine Hui's eyes that were almost engulfing, Concubine Zhao spoke to the Empress Dowager about the third elder brother and the second elder brother living together in the East Fifth Institute with a very calm face.

"The noble concubine is a virtuous one!" The empress dowager admired, smiled and nodded in agreement with Zhao noble concubine's thoughts.Her eyes fell on Concubine Hui who was indignant, "Since I heard what the concubine said, Concubine Hui should be ready when I go back today!"

"Empress Dowager! Concubine Zhao!" Concubine Hui got up and knelt down on the ground with tears in her eyes, "Baoqing grew up beside concubines, so I have to move to the East Fifth House immediately, concubines are so reluctant..."

"Sister Hui! How can this elder brother grow up in the hands of a woman? Your master is also for you, for the sake of the third elder brother!" Concubine Jing stood up and looked around at the concubines with obvious schadenfreude, and then spoke first.

"Yes, Elder Sister Hui." Concubine Shu echoed her words.There was a hint of excitement in her eyes, if the sixth elder brother could move to the East Fifth School when she grew up, then she would have a chance!

Concubine Tong gave her a cool look, and sneered in her heart: Concubine Hui is really so stupid?Face to face refuted the meaning of the empress dowager?

The empress dowager's face sank before she could reprimand her, but Hui concubine wiped her eyes and cried, "Where is my concubine so ignorant? It's just that Baoqing is too young, and my concubine is worried that if he moves there in a hurry Get used to it, I simply want to ask the Empress Dowager to give the concubine and Baoqing some time, and then move in completely after Baoqing gets used to it?"

The Empress Dowager's sharp gaze stayed away from Concubine Hui for a long time, before slowly nodding her head: "Ai's family agrees, if that's the case, let's move in after Ai's birthday."

After talking about this, the atmosphere in the Palace of Compassion and Ning became stagnant. Seeing this, Concubine Tong smiled and mentioned that the fifth elder brother now remembers thinking about the emperor's grandmother.

Concubine Shu grabbed the handkerchief, Concubine Shun couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth—who among the concubines in the harem didn't know that fifth elder brother was a troublemaker?Catching cats today and teasing dogs tomorrow, or smashing everything in the palace!Concubine Tong just opened her eyes and told nonsense, and she was able to describe this devil-like fifth elder brother as smart and cute!

After walking out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, all the concubines were completely relieved.

But who made the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother like to listen to the brothers?The concubines held their faces and smiled, echoing and following Concubine Tong's example in praising the fifth prince, no one thoughtlessly said the annoying side of the fifth prince.After talking about the fifth elder brother, the concubines talked about the sixth elder brother again, and they praised the little elder brothers in turn before closing their mouths.

It's finally time to end!

Concubine Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, got on the palanquin and hurried back to Jingren Palace, she didn't sleep well last night, now she is finally ready to take a rest.

She was leaning against the edge of the slump, drowsy, and her pale face worried Nanny Tang, but Concubine Zhao forbade Nanny Tang to go to the imperial physician.

"I fell ill as soon as I mentioned this matter, and when I said it, it seemed that Bengong was mad at Concubine Hui..." She spoke softly.

"Master! Aren't you being tossed about by that concubine Hui?" Tang Nanny couldn't help being angry.Concubine Hui has no scruples just because she has a good son!

"Master! Master!"

Just when Concubine Zhao was about to continue talking, there was a burst of exclamation from outside the door, and Gui Zhi was swept into the bedroom like a whirlwind.

"Gui Zhi! What about your rules! Master is suffering from a headache, and his voice is not soft!" Tang Nanny reprimanded in a low voice, Gui Zhi immediately stuck out her tongue and knelt on the ground: "Master, I have great news for you! "

"Say?" Concubine Zhao said lightly, covering her forehead.

"Master! People from the Weaving Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have started making court clothes for the queen and noble concubine!" Guizhi lowered his voice and said as quietly as possible.

But these words were like a beam of light, directly piercing through the heavy dark clouds in Concubine Zhao Gui's heart, directly making the eyes of Concubine Zhao Gui and Madam Tang widen, and at the same time staring blankly at Gui Zhi in a daze.

"Master! Master!" Tang Nanny jumped up, her eyes were full of excitement, and she burst into tears, "Master, master, you really made it through! Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants to make you a queen!"

"...Gui Zhi, are you sure?" Concubine Zhao Gui shook her body, but she felt that her voice was blocked by something, and it took a long time to speak.

"It's true, master!"

Concubine Zhao's tears fell from her eyes unconsciously, her eyes darkened, and her body swayed.

Immediately, amidst the terrified screams of Nanny Tang and the maids, she fell on the bed!

……

When Concubine Zhao woke up, she was already surrounded by serious imperial physicians and worried palace people.

Kangxi was uneasy in his heart. After he got the news, he left Concubine Tong and Sixth Brother, and hurried to Jingren Palace, full of worries.The empress dowager, empress dowager and concubines in the palace who received the report also quickly sent people to wait in the flower hall to wait for the news.

Kangxi was very anxious, and a panic thought appeared in his mind at this moment - he remembered that Kangxi was once considered the wife of Kemuke, and three queens died in a row, especially one of them died the next day after being sealed. died.

Could this person be Concubine Zhao?

Kangxi shuddered, he even had a kind of panic, for fear that his side would make Concubine Zhao the queen, and Concubine Zhao would be found to be terminally ill on the other side...

The expressions of the imperial doctors are even more serious.

They put a piece of white satin cloth on Concubine Zhao's wrist to carefully feel the pulse, took turns to check the pulse, and then looked at each other.It was a cold winter day, but their backs were covered with cold sweat.

"Concubine Zhao, what happened?" Kangxi had an ominous premonition in his heart, cold sweat even broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't help holding his breath.

"Your Majesty." Doctor Xu took a deep breath,

He looked up at Kangxi, the calm and indifferent expression of the aloof emperor in the past seemed to be just a thin window paper, which might be broken in the next second.

Doctor Xu bowed his head and said slowly: "Concubine Zhao Gui is pregnant, and has been pregnant for two months!"

Nanny Tang and the palace staff were stunned on the spot, and then they couldn't hide the surprise and ecstasy on their faces, they all exclaimed and looked at Concubine Zhao with ecstasy.

"But..." Doctor Xu's good news stopped halfway through. He weighed it for a moment, hesitating to think about how to continue.Obviously, his next words should not be the good news that everyone expected.

Everyone became quiet, holding their breath and watching Doctor Xu.

"Say..." Kangxi said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for your lies. I think that the birth of Concubine Zhaogui cannot be guaranteed!" Doctor Xu said firmly.

"Bold!" Mother Tang shouted immediately.

"I'm...pregnant?"

Concubine Zhao spoke suddenly, her expression was very strange, something seemed to burst in her eyes, and her voice became hoarse and sharp, "I'm pregnant!?"

"Master...Master..." Nanny Tang had a sore nose, she rushed forward and hugged Concubine Zhao, crying loudly, "Master, master of this old slave..."

Guizhi knelt down to Imperial Doctor Xu with a plop, and then kowtowed vigorously, tears streaming down her face: "Your Majesty! Imperial Doctor Xu! Please! Master has wanted this child for a long time. I beg you to make the master and son, mother and son safe!"

Doctor Xu avoided Gui Zhi's eyes asking for help, and remained silent.

All the imperial physicians bowed their heads stiffly and lay down on the ground. The whole dormitory was filled with crying and wailing, but no one spoke.

The uniform movements of the imperial doctors dealt a heavy blow to Kangxi's heart. He raised his head back and took two steps back as if he couldn't maintain his center of gravity.

It took a long time before he opened his mouth with difficulty: "...Tell me, if you protect or not... What will happen to Concubine Zhao? What happened to Concubine Zhao's body?"

"Your Majesty, if Concubine Zhao's pregnancy is preserved, Concubine Zhao may not be able to cross the gate of hell, and she may die twice... If not, Concubine Zhao's body will still have a few years..." Doctor Xu was very difficult opening.
