Guoluo Luo's in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 24 The eighth mother is...?

Perhaps in order to eliminate the dull atmosphere in the palace, Kangxi finally named the two children born last year: the elder brother born of nobleman Nala was named Yinlu, and the son of Yipin was named Yinqi.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and Yinhe didn't survive after all, and died of illness just after his first birthday. This blow made Nalashi, who was about to raise his body, fall ill again.

Not long after Yinhe's funeral, the imperial concubine was also confinement.She has been sitting for two full months this confinement, but her figure is not as plump as the girl next to her after giving birth, but she has lost a lot of weight.

In May, news came that Dai Jiashi was about to give birth.When the Beijing Earthquake caused Dai Jia's fetal gas to move, the imperial physician had already asserted that the child would not be born at full term, so the midwife and the imperial physician were always ready.

Although Wanzhao did not rush to Xianfu Palace, she also waited for a long time in Yuanhe Palace.When Mu Jin was waiting for the news to come back, she was so shocked that she almost knocked over the tea in her hand: Dai Jia gave birth to a disabled prince!This is something that has never been encountered outside of the founding of the Qing Dynasty. An elder brother with a disability is destined to be unable to make great achievements in the future—maybe Kangxi will think that this child’s disability is a warning from heaven. , will not like this child.

"...Pack up your things and send them to Concubine Dai Jiashu." Wanzhao sat silently by the candlelight for a long time before telling Mu Jin, "I can't visit Concubine Dai Jiashu for the time being. Many people persuade her, don't make her discouraged."

"Yes." Mu Jin replied, "Young Master, don't think about it too much."

"I don't think much about it, but sister Dai Jia doesn't know what to think about." Wanzhao felt that this year was a disaster, all kinds of unpleasant things all broke out in this year, maybe Kangxi had to go to worship God It's a good luck, "I've been unhappy this year, tomorrow you will come with me to the Buddhist hall to burn incense and chant scriptures, just for peace of mind."

"Your servant knows. The Buddhist scriptures copied by the young master are still there, why don't you offer them to the Buddha? It's a little bit of kindness." Mujin said.

"That's fine." Wanzhao looked at the melting ice in the open blue and white porcelain jar, and shook her head lightly, "See if Xiao Liu has woken up, and if she wakes up, bring her here. Also, the last few days It's starting to heat up, I don't like greasy food, you ask the kitchen staff to cook some light dishes and serve them up."

"Yes."

In the Buddhist hall, Wan Zhao meets an unexpected person——Wei Changzai.Speaking of which, Wei Changzai is very brilliant. Although Kangxi doesn't like her background, he also bows to her pomegranate skirt. It seems that outstanding appearance is also an important factor for killing everything in seconds.Wanzhao knew that Wei Changzai didn't have many friends in the harem, those of noble birth disdain to associate with her, while those of low birth both despised and envied her favor, and avoided her.

"Greetings to Mrs. Shu." Wei Changzai hurriedly stood up from the mat and said hello cautiously.

"Get up, sister don't need to be so polite." Wan Zhao didn't have any bad thoughts about Wei Changzai, anyway, whether she got favored or not had nothing to do with herself, and she didn't have to worry about Wei Changzai, "Sister continued Come on, don't pay attention to me." After finishing speaking, he began to chant scriptures and pray for blessings.

About half an hour later, Wanzhao heard the sound of Wei Chang leaving, she opened her eyes, and happened to see Wei's back stepping out, a little clumsily.Wan Zhao squinted her eyes and took a closer look, and saw that Wei Shi's belly seemed to be a bit rounder under the thin clothes... Could it be that she was pregnant?

Wanzhao felt that she had come to the truth, because not long after she returned to Yuanhe Palace, news came from Zhongcui Palace that Wei Changzai was pregnant for more than three months.Not to mention why the Ping'an pulse was not diagnosed until now, but this news is enough to make everyone in the harem feel complicated.It's fine if it's a princess, but if it's a prince... the biological mother's background is so low, it won't be a help for the prince's future in the future.The palace pays attention to "the mother is more valuable than the mother, and the mother is more valuable than the son", that is, if the mother's family is powerful, the elder brother will have a good future, and in turn, he can make his mother famous.

"...Master Yi said today that he wants the young master to bring Gege to the main hall for dinner." After Lian Xin finished talking, seeing that her master didn't respond at all, she raised her voice and shouted in Wan Zhao's ear, "" Little Master", this brought Wan Zhao back to his thoughts.

"I know." Wanzhao glanced at Lian Xin, "But this Wei Changzai is hiding it tightly. If it wasn't for the fact that her belly was about to show her pregnancy, she probably wouldn't want to spread the news of her pregnancy. "

"The young master remembers what she does." Lian Xin said, "The most important thing for the young master now is to give birth to an elder brother for the emperor. Thinking that Princess is almost two years old, and the young master is always healthy, it is time It has opened branches and leaves for the emperor. The servants look at it, the emperor is very kind to the young master."

"You're the only one with a lot of reason." Wanzhao gave her a sideways glance, "Go ask the wet nurse to take Xiao Liu out, I'm going to my sister's place."

Wei Changzai obediently stayed in Zhongcui Palace to raise his baby. Kangxi said that the baby will be raised by Concubine Hui as soon as it is born, and no one else will be given a chance.When Wanzhao saw Concubine Hui in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, she also looked proud.Thinking about it, she is only a little younger than Concubine Rong, and she probably won't be able to raise any more in the future. It's good to adopt other people's children and raise them well.

"Let's leave later, you all come to my place to drink tea. I asked someone to cook fresh food, you all come and taste it." Zhao Jia saw that Dai Jia's face was a little unhappy, and gave Wan Zhao a wink Afterwards, he smiled and said, "You too, don't keep making a sad face. Let others see you and speak ill of you behind your back."

Dai Jiashi smiled wryly and nodded.

When she went to Zhao Jia's place, Dai Jia could no longer hold back her tears.The child she conceived with great difficulty was born with a disability. Although the imperial doctor said that it would not affect her child's walking in the future, the emperor has only visited her and the child so far, and it is obvious that he has disliked both of them.After all, Dai Jiashi is just a little girl, how did she experience this?When she was in confinement, she tried her best not to break down, but now that she saw two people she could talk to, she couldn't stop crying.

"If you cry no matter how much you cry, you won't be able to get back the fact that little elder brother is disabled." Wanzhao believed that a woman is a strong mother, so she comforted her, "Think about it, your own background is not bad, otherwise the emperor wouldn't let you You have the title of concubine; what you have to do now is to educate the little elder brother well, even if he can't fight in the battlefield to serve his Khan Ama, you also have to let him read poetry and books to make a difference."

"That's right." Zhao Jia also said, "You are his mother-in-law, and the emperor is his Khan Ama. No matter how others talk about it, his background and status can't be changed. As long as he is promising, there will be no day in his career." What? It’s useless for you to cry like this, so you might as well think about how to educate your little elder brother well in the future.”

Only then did Dai Jiashi gradually stop her tears, and tightly clenched the hand holding the handkerchief.She raised her head to look at Wan Zhao and Zhao Jia, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I have thought about it too. I want to send my little brother to the empress dowager to be raised by the empress herself, so that no one will dare to talk about my child again. bad words."

Wan Zhao didn't know how to describe the turbulent waves in her heart, Dai Jia's doing so would undoubtedly separate her mother and child.It's just that with such a decisive look in her eyes, Wan Zhao didn't know whether to persuade her to think more carefully, so she could only ask, "You, have you thought it through?"

"Think clearly," Dai Jiashi showed a bitter smile on his face, "Actually, this is what the emperor meant. The emperor still respects me, let me think about it before making a plan, and now I have made up my mind. The sisters said That's right, you have to give him the best backing after all."

"...Forget it, just think it through." Zhao Jiashi sighed and patted her hand.

The next day, news spread that Dai Jia's elder brother was taken to the Palace of Compassion.Wan Zhao sighed, put down the spoon in her hand, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth before eating anymore.Wang Momo on the side looked a little worried. Her young master didn't like to eat for several days, and she also lost weight when she looked at her.

"Young master doesn't like to eat these meals, servant girl asks someone to make some more." Mother Wang asked.

"It's not that I don't like food, it's just that it feels greasy." Wanzhao felt that his chest was stuffy these days, probably because he was hot, "You ask the kitchen staff to make some cold salad, and mix it with more vinegar. Yes, don’t make these tonight, just make a water shield soup, a dish of fresh mushroom cabbage and a dish of sweet and sour pork.”

Wang Momo wrote down Wanzhao's order, and asked Lian Xin to bring a bowl of sour plum soup over and over again: "It's hot today, so it's normal for my master not to like greasy dishes. The slave has already asked someone to cool it down for a while." This sour plum soup is the best drink now. Just remember not to drink too much, it will make your stomach cold."

"I know, Mammy just loves to worry." Wan Zhao boldly drank the sour plum soup all night, and then felt more comfortable with chest tightness. It's just right for me to eat after I wake up from the ice. Xiao Liu's food should also be light, I'm afraid she'll be too greasy to digest."

"The servants are all watching, the young master is at ease." Wang Momo smiled, "Didn't the young master say to embroider a Buddhist scripture for the empress dowager and the empress dowager, the servants have already matched the silk threads for you, Do you want to start now, my lord?"

"It's okay, there's nothing to do during the day or so." Wan Zhao yawned slightly, "It's been weird recently, I just want to sleep, if this continues, I'm going to turn into a little pig."

"My lord is probably tired." Wang Momo smiled meaningfully.Recently, the emperor often flips through the signboard of her young master, no wonder the young master is always sleepy.Oops, I have to ask the kitchen staff to cook some supplements later.It would be best if it was paired with drugs that can help conceive, that would be the best... But speaking of it, did the young master miss her menstruation this month?Recently, Nanny Wang, who has been distracted by taking care of little Gege, is a little dizzy, and decides to call Mu Jin and Lian Xin when Wan Zhao is taking a nap.

So, after Miss Wanzhao woke up, she saw Wang Momo's smiling face like a chrysanthemum, and then she heard——

"Congratulations, my lord, I'm nearly two months pregnant."
