Guoluo Luo's in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 10 Congratulations, you are pregnant!

The weather was fine that day, Wanzhao was wrapped in a pink Lu silk cloak embroidered with plum blossoms, inside she was wearing a double-breasted rabbit fur-trimmed Ruyi pattern waistcoat, under the waistcoat was a light blue rose-patterned flag dress, paired with pink cotton trousers, Still holding a gilt hand stove in his hand, he staggered on the sedan chair and headed towards Kunning Palace.

The queen's illness improved at the end of December, and she was finally able to meet the concubines before the year.All the female relatives in the harem should also greet the queen.

When I arrived at the gate of Kunning Palace, I saw Concubine Tong Gui had already arrived.She stood there with the hand stove in her arms, and the gilt hollowed-out ruby-studded armor on her ring finger and little finger was particularly dazzling.Wanzhao looked at Wanliu Hashi who was beside him, thought for a while and then went over: "Seeing that everyone is here, why doesn't the noble concubine and master come in?"

"Concubine Niu Colu has not appeared yet." Wan Liuha replied in a low voice.

No, you can be late even if you come to pay your respects to your sister?Wanzhao was a little stunned, and turned her head slightly to look, but she did not see Concubine Niu Hulu.But Concubine Niu Hulu obviously lives in Kunning Palace, how could she make such a mistake?

Concubine Tong Guifei seemed to know nothing, counted the number of people, and felt that everyone's clothes and makeup were fine, so she stepped into the main hall under the guidance of Cuizhu.Wan Zhao followed and walked in, and found that there was a beautiful woman sitting under the queen's head. She was in high spirits, and the corners of her curved mouth were adorned with red rouge.She was wrapped in a light purple gold satin flag dress with pomegranate patterns, and the hairpin on her head was inlaid with gemstones of various colors, which was very luxurious.

It turned out that Concubine Niu Hulu was not late, but that she came directly after serving Uncle Kangxi last night.

After all the female relatives had settled down and sat down, the queen smiled and talked to them.She first praised Concubine Tong Gui's efficiency in handling palace affairs and her dedication, and then she turned and said to everyone: "I call you here today, one is to talk among sisters; the other is to tell everyone, now It is still an important period for the crusade against the San Francisco, and as concubines, we must lead by example and be frugal in spending, and it is best not to use excessively extravagant decorations."

"I would like to follow the teachings of the master and empress." Wanzhao pursed her lips while she lowered her head. Look at the pile of pearls and gemstones on your sister's head, and then look at the gold-encrusted ruby ​​on your head and ears shining brightly. Eye-catching pierced gold ornaments and earrings inlaid with sapphires, Queen, do you still have the nerve to tell us to be frugal?

No matter what, since it is the queen's order, the concubines just listen to it.Anyway, Wanzhao's own Yuanhe Palace has never liked to display luxurious things, except for a few pots of Baozhu camellias, they are all elegant plum vase porcelain, unlike others' shining golden ones.

After chatting for a few more words, seeing that Kangxi would not come, everyone dispersed.

Back in Yuanhe Hall, Wang Momo brought a bowl of ginger soup for Wan Zhao to drink to drive away the cold.The charcoal basin had already been warmed up in the room, Wanzhao threw off the flower pot shoes on her feet, stepped on the flat cotton shoes made by Wang Momo, and rolled onto the kang with a "gulu".

"I really have nothing to do today, and I have to go to Kunning Palace in the cold weather, which almost froze me." Wanzhao murmured while holding the stove, "Nurse, make me a tonight." Hot pot with dried bamboo shoots and duck, I'm hungry."

"I know that the young master will be cold when he comes back from a trip, and the slave has already told the kitchen staff to prepare it." Madam Wang asked Lian Xin to serve hot black chicken soup, "If you count the days, the young master's monthly letter should arrive. This black-bone chicken soup was stewed by my servant early this morning, the young master is drinking it just right, and the pain will probably be gone by the time of Yue Xin."

The happiest thing in winter is to drink hot soup. Wanzhao thinks that the black-bone chicken soup stewed by Wang Mama is particularly appetizing to her. She only puts a few jujubes, ginseng root, and slices of skullcap, and the deliciousness of the black-bone chicken is completely stewed. When they came out, the shredded meat mixed with shredded ginger, sesame oil and salt that Hibiscus specially picked for her was a delicious treat.

"I won't go out these days, I'm going to die of cold." Wanzhao said, "Today, the empress decreed that luxurious things should not be placed in the palace, and we should put away all the golden things here first. Bar."

"My lord, there are no golden decorations here. The only valuable thing here is the tapestry screen." Mu Jin said with a smile, "Today, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent two bolts of Lu silk, saying that the emperor specially ordered them Lord, it seems that the little master's position in the emperor's heart is getting more and more important."

"Isn't it just a few pieces of material, but you can think of a lot of things." Wanzhao didn't believe that Kangxi took care of her because she had her in his heart. It's probably because the queen mother said a few words, and Kangxi felt that It's nothing that Concubine Tong Gui asked the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do. "Since it is fashionable satin, then cut two clothes for me. I saw that many of the clothes I brought in before can't be worn anymore."

"The little master is indeed rounder, which makes him seem lucky." Wang Nao said, "It's almost the end of the new year, so it's good to cut out some new clothes for the young master to celebrate the festival."

I don't want to be mellow. It is right to be as tall and slender as the queen. It's a pity that people here don't appreciate the beauty of being slender.Wan Zhao pouted: "Mammy is saying that I am fat. I blame Mammy for always cooking delicious food to lure me. But when I looked at it today, the Empress has lost weight and looks better than before. I want to Don't try to go hungry too?"

"Young master, this is nonsense. The master's wife lost weight because of illness. Could it be that the young master also wants to get sick?" Mu Jin joked.

"I'm just talking." Wanzhao pinched her fleshy belly, completely flattening her mouth.

The New Year's banquet is relatively low-key, mainly because Uncle Kangxi is not in such a good mood to eat, drink and have fun.Wanzhao looked drowsily at the crowd and tried to open his eyes.She was summoned by Uncle Kangxi last night, and today she was dug up to dress up before getting enough sleep, and she was trapped to death.

"Be careful, Master Yi is staring at you." Wan Liuhashi pursed his lips and smiled.

Wan Zhao glanced at her, then gently rubbed her waist.Last night, I was tossed a few times by Uncle Kangxi like making pancakes, and promised to send peanut crisps to Qianqing Palace every five days in the future. Has Uncle Kangxi liked sweets recently?The taste changes really fast, don't you usually eat dishes that fade out of your mouth?

...Actually, those candies are for the crown prince, Wanzhao, you are thinking about it!

"If you are like this, if others see you, I'm afraid they will think you are showing your favor. Sit up straight." Wan Liuha put a piece of fresh mushrooms for Wan Zhao, "It will be fine after this time, Your Majesty I won't stay here for a long time, after all, the empress dowager is used to going to bed early. When the time comes, when the emperor entrusts the empress dowager back to the palace, you and the empress will just go back and accuse the empress." Wan Liuhashi is also a person who has been here, so he naturally understands Wan Zhao The trouble now is that she didn't suffer until early in the morning to rest enough to be dug up.

Wan Zhao took a bite of fresh mushrooms, the taste was not bad, and the taste was very refreshing, so she simply put aside all the offensive food.

Wan Liu Hashi looked at Wan Zhao who was eating happily, shook his head and sighed slightly.This Guo Changzai doesn't know whether he really doesn't understand or is pretending to be confused. It is a great blessing that the emperor is willing to call her on the night before New Year's Eve.Unexpectedly, she still looked uncomfortable. Didn't you see that the eyes of the nobles over there were spitting fire?

"Hey, I look at Concubine Niu Hulu as if she is not feeling well, just look at it." After finishing the fresh mushroom and cabbage sum in front of her, Wan Zhao took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, looked around and then whispered He said to Wan Liu Hashi, "I heard that the Queen's condition has relapsed, is it because Niu Hulu concubine concubine took care of her and made me tired?"

"Probably so." Wanliu Hashi wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, "Master, the lady is also stubborn, and she came out to blow air when she was upset. Fortunately, the charcoal basin in the hall was burning brightly, otherwise it would be too cold." But what's the matter?"

The family banquet, when showing the prestige of the hostess, how could the queen not attend?Having been a concubine under Empress Renxiao for so many years, the empress naturally hoped to show her identity as the mistress of the Tian Family, didn't she just come out?It's just that she is so stubborn, how much would Kangxi like it?

But Wanzhao's guess was wrong, Concubine Niu Hulu was not tired, but two months pregnant, and the smell of pig's trotters disgusted her.Wanzhao chewed and chewed the sweet-scented osmanthus sugar steamed new chestnut flour cake in his mouth, nodded and said, "Ask someone to pack up a congratulatory gift and send it to Concubine Niuhulu." God, now the third elder brother is about to turn one year old, and the fourth elder brother is not even born. The elder brother behind him is even gone. Could it be that the fourth elder Yongzheng is in the belly of Concubine Niu Hulu? !

Apparently, classmate Wanzhao had forgotten the possibility of girls. She began to worry if she had fanned her butterfly wings so much that the identity of Master Yongzheng's own birth mother had been blown away.Of course, it turns out that Wanzhao really thought too much, because at the end of January, nobleman Wu Ya was diagnosed as pregnant for nearly a month, which made Wanzhao lament that history is still correct.However, when she was informed that she was also pregnant for one month when she asked for her pulse this month, she was completely speechless.

Very good, very good, what could be more exciting than three pregnant concubines suddenly appearing in the harem?

Of course there is!The answer is, the queen died of illness——
