Guoluo Luo's in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 26 Brother

Wei Changzai gave birth to little Gege who was in very bad health, the imperial doctor even asserted that it was lucky to survive until the first year of life.Wanzhao didn't know what happened, but Kangxi seemed very angry, and even concubine Hui was reprimanded.I heard later that Wei Chang didn't want people to find out that he was pregnant before, so he wrapped his abdomen with cloth to restrain himself, and reduced his food intake, so that he could hide it.

"What do you think she is doing this for, after all, is she hurting herself and Little Gege?" Zhao Jia coughed twice before sighing, "Now the emperor is annoyed by her and Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui is sure now. It won't give her a good face."

"Oh, I'm afraid she is worried that someone in the palace will harm her." Dai Jia took a sip from the teacup, "I heard that she had just been appointed permanent residence at that time, and the nobleman, the concubine Zhang and others often went to see her." Trouble her. Concubine Hui is also indifferent to her, it is inevitable that she will have such thoughts, so she did this."

"She is also a poor person, I hope this incident can make her remember jjj for a long time." Wan Zhao took a bite of the milk water chestnut cake, "Is little Gege being raised by the concubine Hui now?"

"Of course it is. No matter how unwilling the concubine Hui is, it is also the emperor's will, and she cannot disobey it." Dai Jia forked a piece of watermelon into her mouth, "Oh, this watermelon is so sweet."

Wan Zhao glanced at Dai Jiashi mournfully, then at the beautifully cut and beautifully arranged fruit platter on the table, and sighed.Wang Momo said that she ate too much raw and cold melons and fruits today, so she didn't ask her to continue eating.Now she can only watch Dai Jiashi and Zhao Jiashi eat up her favorite fruit platter, and she can only chew on snacks.

"Sister, why do you have to be like this? After the little elder brother is born, what melons and fruits can't be eaten." Dai Jia said with a smile.

Wan Zhao snorted arrogantly, turned her head and ignored her.

After all, little Gege couldn't make it through, and died just after the full moon.Wanzhao heard that Wei Chang was crying, so she asked Madam Wang to visit and give him some tonics.Tian'er was getting colder day by day, and when Wanzhao's belly was seven months old, the first snow fell in the capital.

Due to extra care during pregnancy, Wan Zhao now only wears embroidered shoes with ingot soles, and every time she goes out, she is surrounded by four people, fearing that the same situation as last time will happen again.Every time the Empress Dowager saw her, she would first instruct Wan to instruct her, and then sent several nuns to serve her, lest something might go wrong.

"Now the whole harem is paying attention to your child, you have to pay more attention." Seeing Wanzhao getting off the sedan chair precariously, Yipin asked Mu Xin to help her, and kept talking He exhorted, "The road is slippery in this snowy day, what are you doing out here again?"

"It's what I should do to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, sister, don't worry, I'll be fine with Hibiscus watching over me." Wan Zhao smiled, but her face was tired, and the blackness under her eyes was clearly visible ——When you are pregnant, you can't put on makeup, but Wan Zhao remembers it clearly.

"What's going on under your eyes, didn't you sleep well last night?" Yibi asked.

"It's not because of this little naughty boy." Wan Zhao rubbed his stomach and smiled lightly. "He punched and kicked me in my stomach last night, and it hurt me all night. It just calmed down a little this morning. Thinking about going back later, I must catch up on sleep."

"That means the emperor's heir is healthy."

Concubine Yi and Wan Zhao walked into the Palace of Compassion and Ning one after another, and sat down after greeting the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager one by one.Wanzhao raised her eyes and saw that the imperial concubine looked radiant now, she seemed to have come out of the pain of bereavement.That's right, after being decadent for several months, if you don't come out again, I'm afraid that the favor will be divided up by others.Which of the women in this palace does not rely on the emperor to survive, what is the use without the emperor's favor?

Sitting at the bottom of Wanzhao was the noble Nala who hadn't shown her face for a long time. She had already recuperated from the problem of shedding tears when she saw the wind, no wonder she came out arrogantly to fight with everyone now.

The empress dowager was talking to the imperial concubine, and it was fun for concubines Yi and concubine Rong to interject at the right time.Wan Zhao touched the abdomen that was kicked by the child just now, and had to sigh that the child was really alive and well.

"Why doesn't my sister talk?" Noble Nala smiled coquettishly while holding a handkerchief, "Why, are you thinking about the little elder brother in your stomach?"

"Sister was joking." Wan Zhao almost shuddered, the voice of this delicate little girl was really not suitable for Noble Nala.But I don't know why, this time the nobleman Nala didn't express anything when he saw Wan Zhao, which made Wan Zhao a little surprised, "My sister's body looks much better."

"That's natural. There are good medicines in the palace, so the disease will heal faster." Noble Nala smiled falsely, and glanced at Wanzhao's stomach, "It's seven months, my sister should also be careful." Don't be dragged down by others and make mistakes like last time. After all, you are not so lucky every time."

Wanzhao twitched her lips. This Nalashi was obviously mocking her, but she didn't care, she just said: "Thank you for reminding me, sister. But sister should also pay attention to her body, so that she can have children for the emperor in the future." Woolen cloth."

Nalashi gritted her teeth and smiled, turned around and ignored Wanzhao.

Cut, you are still far behind me in terms of lip service!Wan Zhao wrinkled her nose triumphantly, sat up straight with a smile on her face.

Wan Zhao was a little tired when waiting to come back from the Empress Dowager.It is not an easy task for a pregnant woman to sit up straight with her waist upright, and she has to pay attention to her legs and toes all the time, which is really exhausting for her.So as soon as she came back, Wanzhao first kicked off the ingot-soled shoes, stepped on the woolen blanket in silk socks, and ran quickly to the bed.

"Master must be exhausted, servant girl, please give me a massage." Mujin first brought hot water and handkerchiefs to wipe Wan Zhao's face and hands, then knelt on the ground to help Wan Zhao press her legs and feet, and called her colleagues Luyu, another person serving in the palace, took the washbasin down before saying, "Eunuch Wu came here just now, and said that after the new year, my wife will be able to enter the palace to accompany the young master until the delivery."

Usually, when concubines give birth in the palace, the mother's family can enter the palace to accompany them when they are eight months old.It's just that Wanzhao's expected date of delivery for this baby is in February, and the eighth or ninth month is exactly the New Year's Eve. Wanzhao doesn't want to feel that Luo Shi is so troublesome, so she simply lets Jue Luo Shi come into the palace after the Lantern Festival.

"That's good too, to save Erniang the trouble of going in and out." Wanzhao narrowed her eyes, with a pink brocade mattress embroidered with five bats holding clouds and flowers on her belly, "By the way, this year's winter clothes for Yuanhe Hall Is it all cut? It's not convenient for me to take care of it like this, you and Wang Momo have to be more careful, the several nuns sent by the Queen Mother will have to add a new set of clothes."

"The servants all know that Mother Wang has already asked someone to do it." Mu Jin replied, "These mothers are also easy to talk to. I heard that the young master specially ordered them to be added. I am very grateful to the young master. .”

This is called buying people's hearts.Wanzhao knew that these nuns would definitely be with her when she was giving birth, so there would definitely be nothing wrong with buying them now, after all, one must be cautious, who knows if there will be someone in the palace who will be against her? .But having said that: "I saw Noble Nala today, how did she recover so quickly?"

"I heard that a new imperial physician has come to the imperial hospital, and he is best at treating these postpartum diseases. The nobleman Nala invited him to check his pulse every now and then. It is estimated that he was cured in this way."

"Then, that imperial physician was sent in by Nala's family?" Wan Zhao asked gossipingly.

"This servant will not be able to find out." Mu Jin smiled, "Wang Momo has stewed red bean and carp soup for the young master, does the young master want to drink it now?"

"Alright." Wan Zhao nodded, "I'm a little hungry, let someone pass some food on."

"Yes."

The New Year's family banquet has nothing to do with Wan Zhao.Her nearly nine-month-old belly wobbles when she walks, and ordinary people would feel worried about her when they saw it.The Empress Dowager even made an order early on to keep her in the Yuanhe Hall and not to run out. If she was bumped into, it would not be a joke.

Wanzhao naturally understood, so after receiving Yi's decree, she happily hid in the Yuanhe Hall - although the family banquet is not very particular about the rules, it still depends on the face of the emperor and two big Buddhas. Being full is also a common thing, Wan Zhao is not willing to wrong her stomach.It's a pity that Xiaoliu is going to meet some older brothers and sisters this year, otherwise Wanzhao will definitely hold her for New Year's Eve.

"My lord, this is Nanny Lu who is beside the empress dowager. She is here to deliver fresh food to my lord." Lian Xin led a middle-aged woman in. She was wearing dark green clothes and had two plain silver sticks on her hair. hairpin.Wanzhao recognized at a glance that it was an old nanny serving the queen mother, so she hurriedly got off the kang.

"My lord can't do it!" Nanny Lu helped Wan Zhao back to sit on the kang, "If the queen mother knows that the servant has worked for the lord, then the servant will suffer when he goes back."

"Mommy was joking." Wan Zhao knew Mammy Lu quite well, "It's so cold that I let Mommy go."

"The empress dowager is thinking about the young master, so she asks the servants to bring some freshly made food to the young master." After finishing speaking, she asked the little maid following behind to open the food box and release the steaming dishes one by one, " These are all new dishes conceived by the people in the imperial dining room, and they were served for the first time at the family banquet tonight. The empress dowager thought that the young master would not be at the family banquet, and she was afraid that you would not be able to eat them, so she specially asked someone to cook them again while they were still hot Bring it."

"Please trouble Mammy." Wanzhao asked Mu Jin to give her a small purse, "Mammy thanked the Empress Dowager for me, and said that I will thank the Empress Dowager later."

Nanny Lu weighed her purse, and said with a smile: "The young master gave birth to an elder brother to the empress dowager, that is the best gift of thanks. The servants have to go back to their lives, so I will take my leave first."

"Okay, Mu Jin, go see off Mammy."

"The empress dowager is good to my young master." Wang Momo took a silver needle and inspected the dishes carefully, and after confirming that it was not poisonous, she brought jade chopsticks and gave Wan Zhao a chopsticks of duck strips and sea cucumbers, "But my little one. Lord, you can’t be greedy now. The doctor said that the little master had supplemented too much before, but now the fetus is a bit big. If you eat any more, you will have trouble during delivery.”

Wan Zhao pouted: "At that time, he was silently persuading me to eat more, besides, I also took a walk often, but I can't help him if he grows up so big." While telling me to eat less, he kept giving I cook delicious food, can you blame me?

Wang Momo nodded and smiled, and put another bowl of wild mushroom and wild pigeon soup in front of Wanzhao.

On February [-]th, Wan Zhao finally gave birth to a fat and white prince with the company of Jue Luo.Upon hearing that he was a son, Wan Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep in a daze.
