Guoluo Luo's in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 20 Naming and Pregnancy

Accustomed to Kangxi's "surprise attacks" from time to time, Wan Zhao has become very calm.Waking up early the next morning, after serving Kangxi to change into the court clothes, Wanzhao asked people to run out of hot water and soaked her whole body in it.It was the first time for her to suffer from back pain after rolling the sheets. Uncle Kangxi was really merciless last night.

After taking a nice hot bath, Wan Zhao changed into a newly made satin flag dress with pink and purple trim and lavender folded branch plum pattern and a pair of light pink pants. She combed her long hair into two heads and put on a pair of Put on the sapphire hairpin, put on the gold-plated silver-plated beaded emerald flower hairpin bestowed by Kangxi last night, and board the sedan chair to Chengqian Palace.

Originally, they should go to the Kunning Palace to meet up and be taken by the empress to greet the Empress Dowager, but now there is no owner in the Kunning Palace, so I simply asked Concubine Tong to gather the people together, and then set off for the Compassionate Palace together.The main reason why Wan Zhao dressed up so nicely today was to stimulate Noble Nala, she was so narrow-minded anyway!

"You're dressed up better today than in the past." Zhao Jia looked Wanzhao up and down before smiling, "That's right, a young man likes simple and indifferent dresses, and even changes himself. old."

"You're used to making fun of me." Wanzhao glanced at Zhao Jiashi, "This hair was given to me by my mother-in-law, and I took it out to wear it when it was time, and it was my mother-in-law's favor. The clothes were also sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs a long time ago, and I have never had the chance to wear them before, but now I finally seized the opportunity."

"Little Gege's first birthday will be in two months, so I'll give you a chance to wear the new clothes." Zhao Jia said with a smile, "Speaking of which, why are you so late today, nobleman Nala?"

"I'm afraid I dare not come out to meet people." Wan Zhao said nonchalantly.If she was a nobleman of Nala, she would call herself sick and hide today, otherwise Concubine Hui and the others would give her a good look, let alone the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager.What she said yesterday was spread all over the harem, but fortunately it was not spread outside the palace, otherwise noble Nala would not only offend this group of women.

But Wanzhao was not right, Noble Nala still appeared, and he was dressed even more glamorously than Wanzhao.Pomegranate red five-bat holding birthday flower and silk flag dress, royal blue silk trousers, several gold-plated flower holders inlaid with olive-shaped sun green emerald long hairpins on the shelf, and several gold-plated silver hairpins inlaid with pearls, on the ears Wearing cloisonne ruby ​​earrings and holding a light water red handkerchief in her hand, she raised her head slightly, looked around Wanzhao's body, and then raised the corners of her mouth in disdain.

"Everyone is here, so let's go." Concubine Tong's eyes flickered a few times, she stood up first, and then she looked at Noble Nala and said, "In the future, we must be on time and go to Cining You can't be late for Gong's greetings. I don't want to miss the etiquette just to wait for someone."

"Yes." Everyone responded, but their eyes wandered around Nala nobleman before they followed Concubine Tong out.

Wanzhao saw that nobleman Nala's face suddenly turned ugly, and felt that the tone in her heart had finally calmed down a lot.

To Wanzhao's surprise, the Empress Dowager did not express any opinion on the disharmonious conversation between Noble Nala and her yesterday, but said to Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong and Concubine Tong: "The emperor told me yesterday Having said that, the elder brothers in the palace are all grown up, and Yipin is about to give birth. Taking advantage of this time, we have to give the elder brother a name, otherwise there will be more and more elder brothers in the harem. They can’t all be called nicknames.”

Noble Nala also looked at the Empress Dowager with hope, but according to what the Empress Dowager wanted, the little elder brother was only a few months old, so he could not be named for the time being, otherwise he was afraid that the Palace of the Underworld would know the name of the little elder brother, so he would tick it off. His life goes.Noble Nala collapsed by the way.

As for Wanzhao, she is not worried about her daughter's name at all.According to Kangxi's meaning, daughters don't need to be called by any name. Anyway, when they were in the palace, they were called "Xiao X" by their masters, and their servants just called them "X Gege". , It is rare to use a daimyo.Wanzhao has even decided to choose a nice name for Xiaoliu herself. After all, it is the right of parents to name their child. Her father can't count on the child's father, she can only rely on her own thinking.

Sure enough, within half a month after the announcement by the Empress Dowager, the names of the elder brothers were confirmed.Exactly the same as in Wan Zhao's memory, the elder brother Yinfeng, the crown prince Yinreng, the third elder brother Yinzhi, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, and those elder brothers who died young are not in the sequence anymore.

"Sister, you don't have to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager from tomorrow onwards, just concentrate on waiting for the delivery." Wanzhao reached out and touched Yipin's belly, "The nanny said, 'The tip of the belly makes Zhang, the belly makes tiles' , my sister's belly is pointed, she must be a brother."

"I didn't see it, but you have good eyesight." Yipin's stomach is already very big, and sometimes she can't close her legs when she sits, so she can only change her sitting position from time to time, "The child will be born in a blink of an eye. Sitting on confinement, I'm afraid I won't be able to congratulate the imperial concubine. Remember to send my congratulatory gift there."

The day when Concubine Tong was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine has already been decided, and it will be around the time when Concubine Yi gives birth to confinement.After all, she is the same concubine, she bowed her head and looked up to see her. Although Concubine Yi was a little jealous that Concubine Tong was so liked by Kangxi, she would definitely not do anything that would not congratulate her, after all, she was still in charge of the power holder in the Six Palaces. Woolen cloth.

"My sister has told me this many times, and I will never forget it." Wanzhao said, "Mu Xin and Mu Sui beside my sister are all careful people, and Mother Wu is also a capable person, even if I forget , They will remind me. What's more, my sister's things have already been packed, if I really want to add something at that time, my sister will tell me and I will add it."

"That's right, I'll worry too much then." Yipin frowned slightly, the baby has been moving a lot lately, the kick just now made her stomach ache, "This kid is really fussy."

"It's better to be lively, so that the child looks healthy." Wanzhao asked someone to bring chicken soup, "Sister, after drinking the soup, remember to go for a walk to relax."

"Got it, you've said this hundreds of times, it makes my ears tingle." Yipin smiled.

There's a lot going on in July.Yipin started to move on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, and finally gave birth to an elder brother after a day and a night. Both mother and child are safe.Wanzhao, who had been waiting outside the delivery room, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to announce the good news to Kangxi and Concubine Tong, who had been waiting in the main hall.Then, on the twelfth day of July, Concubine Tong's canonization ceremony was held, and it was a whole day of excitement.After that, it will be the first birthday banquet of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and the sixth daughter of the emperor.

After finishing all this work, Wan Zhao only felt that his whole body was going to fall apart.When she was preparing to recuperate for the next few days, Lian Xin ran in again to give her the breaking news: The imperial concubine is pregnant!

When she went to pay her respects to the new imperial concubine the next day, Wan Zhao saw that the smile on her face never faded.That's right, anyone who is diagnosed with royal blood as soon as they sit on the imperial concubine will be ecstatic. Wanzhao thinks that the imperial concubine is already low-key, but the eyes of the woman sitting at the bottom are still "swish". Flying so badly——All the good luck is owned by the imperial concubine alone, it's not fair!

The imperial concubine didn't seem to be aware of the turbulence below, or she noticed it but didn't take it seriously. She just felt that she had finally achieved her wish after praying to God and Buddha for so many years. sorry.Thinking of this, she thought of her fourth elder brother.Although the child is well-behaved, it is not her own after all. In the future... let the nobleman take it back and raise it for himself.

The noble man also had the same idea in his heart, so that when he walked in the imperial garden with Wan Zhao, he was absent-minded and almost sprained his feet. Fortunately, the pearl beside her supported her, otherwise it would be bad if he hurt his body.

"What are you thinking, so engrossed?" After getting along with the noble man for a long time, Wanzhao didn't think that the noble man was very scheming, but she still had a sense of disobedience, so although she and the noble man could get along, but Definitely not a confidant who can be honest with each other.

"It's nothing, I just think that the imperial concubine is really blessed, she really is the most sacred person." The nobleman smiled lightly and said, "I don't know how happy the emperor will be when the prince is born."

Whether the fetus can be born or not is a problem!Wanzhao knows the disadvantages of inbreeding marriage. When she was studying pharmacy at university, she often saw the baby samples of the offspring of inbreeding marriages in the human experiment hall. Kangxi and the imperial concubine are real cousins, and she doesn't know what will happen to the child Sample.But Wanzhao still twitched the corners of her mouth and showed a smile: "The imperial concubine is so liked by the emperor, if she really gave birth to an elder brother, the emperor will naturally be happy."

The fact that the imperial concubine was pregnant completely overwhelmed the limelight of the concubine Yi giving birth to the prince.Fortunately, Concubine Yi is now in the state of "keep her ears off the window and only want to see her son". She only congratulates the imperial concubine on her pregnancy and has no jealousy. After all, even if the imperial concubine is pregnant with elder brother, Can it be more honorable than the prince?What's more, I don't even know whether it's a man or a woman now, so why worry about it.

Compared with this, it is better to care about the little girl named Dai Jia. This is the woman who was accepted into the palace by Kangxi this year. Now she is placed in Xianfu Palace according to the etiquette system of a concubine. There is also a Xinzheku named Wei. The girl, I don't know what kind of spell was used to make the emperor favor her, but now she was fished out, sealed up as a Chang Zai and thrown into the Zhongcui Palace.

Wan Zhao exclaimed: The real mother of the eighth elder brother who is as gentle as jade!
