Guoluo Luo's in the Qing Dynasty

"Master is awake?" Mu Jin stayed up all night, seeing Wan Zhao's eyelashes trembling slightly, she walked to the bedside and whispered.

Wanzhao only felt that her body was very sore, and her lower abdomen was distended and slightly painful. After drinking a few mouthfuls of warm water fed by Hibiscus, she said, "Is the child alright?"

"Physician Lin has already prescribed the medicine to strengthen the fetus for the master, but the master may not be able to walk around at will in the past few months." Mu Jin replied with red eyes, "It's because the servants are not careful, and they didn't find out that the master has If something really happens this time, the servants will not be able to make up for the loss of their lives."

Wanzhao looked back and found that Lianxin, Lvyu, Shanshan and others behind Mujin were all looking at her with red eyes, and said with a smile: "I am not careful as a mother-in-law, can I blame you? The imperial doctor said If I want to have a good life, then let's do it. It's just the Empress Dowager..."

"The empress dowager knows that the master is exhausted, so someone has sent a message to let the master have a safe delivery." Lian Xin took half a step forward and tucked the corner of the quilt for Wan Zhao, "It's good for the master to wake up, and the servant has stewed chicken soup and porridge The master used it to warm up his body while it was hot. Physician Lin will deliver the medicine to the master at the moment of time."

Wan Zhao nodded.It's not suitable for her to move now, and Mu Jin and the others are always watching her to prevent her from moving around.Concubine Yi has visited her several times, except for preaching or preaching, but Wan Zhao clearly saw the panic left in Concubine Yi's eyes, so she obediently obeyed Concubine Yi's nagging.

"This time, you are not the only one who is pregnant. Concubine Min is also pregnant. It has been almost three months." Although the canonization ceremony was not officially held due to the sudden illness of the Empress Dowager, Zhang Jia has already moved to the palace. This is how the name spreads.Concubine Yi touched Wan Zhao's still pale face, "You scared me so much this time, I heard that the emperor specially stayed with you that night, and when the day came out, his eyes were blind."

It's almost three months, that's not when she just gave birth... Wanzhao didn't know if it would do too much damage to the woman's body, after all, she only conceived Yinzhu after two years, so she could only say: "The emperor She cares about Concubine Min. As soon as she gave birth to her elder brother, she was concubine, and now she is pregnant again, which shows that she is also very lucky."

"The emperor treats you right?" Concubine Yi said, "Is there any concubine who can keep the emperor awake all night, except for you, the only one who was the original empress benevolence and filial piety."

"My sister was joking, what is my status, how can I compare with Queen Renxiao?" Wan Zhao guessed that Kangxi just felt sad in his heart, maybe a little bit of guilt, so he stayed with her all night, after all, what was in her stomach was still his. It's normal for Kangxi to care about the flesh and blood. After a while, she will be fine when she recovers. "Sister, pour me a glass of water, I'm thirsty."

"You will order me." Concubine Yi nodded Wanzhao's forehead, smiled and personally poured her a cup of warm boiled water, "Doctor Lin said that it is better to drink more boiled water these days. Fang Zi gave it to Mu Jin, and you have to finish the stew every day, you know?"

"I'm not a child, so I don't know how to picky eaters." Wan Zhao put down the teacup after only two sips, and replied with a smile.

"I heard that the Empress Dowager called a few girls into the palace to speak?" The days when you can't get up are really boring.Reading a book is troubled by Mu Jin, and Lian Xin hurts her eyes when drawing a pattern. Even Yin You looks at her solemnly and forbids her to move around. Talk about gossip about things in the palace.

"Yes, it is said that this time it is the little Gege who was summoned several times before." Mu Jin replied.

"The empress dowager is busy again just when she is healthy, how can this be? Didn't the emperor persuade her?" The empress dowager is 75 this year, and if she keeps busy like this, it will definitely be bad for her health.Kangxi has always paid attention to the health of the Empress Dowager, so he has to persuade her.

"The emperor persuaded her, but the empress dowager didn't listen." Everyone in the palace knew that the empress dowager was most worried about the prince's marriage. Although Kangxi had already persuaded her not to be distracted by the prince's affairs, she still didn't listen. . "Not to mention the emperor, even the empress dowager is nagging in the ear of the empress dowager day and night, and the empress dowager also ignores it."

Wan Zhao sighed softly, and touched her stomach.This year is destined to be a year full of disasters and disasters. After seeing a few girls, the Empress Dowager became exhausted again; Sick and sad, everything just got better... The fourth concubine is taking care of everything in the palace, so there will be no rush.

"You are the quietest place in the harem." Seeing that Wanzhao's face has improved a lot, Concubine Yi finally smiled, "The marriage between Achukun and Bayan has been settled. Achukun's decision is a first-class public law." Bao's daughter, Hesheli, is the cousin of Empress Renxiao; Bayan's choice is Fucha, the daughter of Zoring Musca. The girl looks good and has a gentle disposition. Amai Niang is very satisfied with her aunt's side."

"That's good. Is the wedding date set?" Wan Zhao nodded in satisfaction.

"One will be in July, and the other will be in October." Yi Fei laughed, "At that time, Ama just returned to Beijing, so she could meet her eldest son and grandson." The Xitala family gave birth to Ha Feng'a last year A big fat boy, almost a year old now.

"In a blink of an eye, my younger brothers are all so old." Wanzhao himself is only 26 years old and is about to give birth to his third child. "I have to make Mujin Haosheng prepare for the meeting ceremony. The two younger brothers and sisters are only in the re-election period." I’ve only seen it once, but I’m not very impressed.”

"At that time, Er Niang will bring them to see you. You, you should have a good pregnancy first. I saw that your complexion has improved a lot, but why is it not plump?"

"Recently, I've been full just from taking anti-fetal drugs. I can't eat any food. Can I gain weight? The weather is getting hotter and hotter. I have to eat cold dishes, melons and fruits that I usually like to eat. I can’t use it too much, it’s going to bore me to death.” Wanzhao complained “miserably”, “Mujin still keeps me from reading.”

"It's also for your own good. Thinking of the emperor's heir in your stomach, you should settle down first." Concubine Yi had no choice but to smile and pat her on the cheek as she watched her younger sister turn into a child in an instant. Shuto said, "After four months, as long as it doesn't affect your body and fetus, I will make you whatever you like."

"My sister keeps her word."

In October, Wanzhao finally met her new siblings, as well as Hafenga's eldest son, Duoxihui.Duoxihui is more than one year old, and he looks very clever.The Xi Tara family has everything to do, and the two younger siblings who are new to the family also look happy and shy. After Wan Zhao asked someone to serve hot tea, she said: "Emiang has finally returned to Beijing."

"Thanks to the emperor's blessing, let the slaves enter the palace to have a look at the empress." Jue Luo Shi was a little richer than before, and his behavior began to become a little slow like that of women of the same age.Her skin was a little dark, but she was full of energy. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty is five months old, right?"

"Just five months old." Wan Zhao rubbed her protruding belly and said with a smile.

"That's good, the empress is a lucky one." Jueluo also heard about Wanzhao's near miscarriage, but seeing that her daughter was still so cheerful, she didn't want to talk too much, "Now Hafenga, Achu Kun and Bayan are married, and the servants are finally settled."

Wanzhao saw that the two newly married daughters-in-law sat up in a serious manner after hearing these words, and the smiles that were still on their faces were instantly wiped away, so she could only ask: "Is Er Niang also going back to Shengjing this time?" ?”

"That's natural, you, Ama, are just returning to Beijing to report on your work." Jueluo himself is used to the life in Shengjing, but he feels uncomfortable after returning to Beijing, "Master Yi is busy with palace affairs now, you must be careful It is."

"I know." Wanzhao thought of Wanqing, "How is my sister? Are you getting along well with Ulihan?"

"It's all good. The two of you went hunting not long ago. I heard that a sea dongqing was captured alive, and they plan to send it to the emperor on his birthday next year." Dong Qing saw Cuilan walk in and whispered a few words in Wan Zhao's ear, then stopped talking and waited for Wan Zhao's explanation.

Wan Zhao just sent Cui Lan to find Mu Jin, and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal, Concubine Min made a move."

Sitara, Hesheli, and Fucha glanced at each other, and looked at Jueluo.After thinking about it for a while, Jue Luo will come to see the empress again.The servant girl gave the empress some freshly pickled plums and two newly made clothes, the empress should try it. "

"Xie Erniang took care of me. Let Tao Fu take Song Erniang out." Wanzhao stood up, let Shanhu support her, and said after watching Jue Luoshi go out, "Let Lin Changxing go to Chuxiu Palace to inquire, see Let's see what the news is."

"Yes."

That night, Concubine Min gave birth to a princess.

Kangxi, who had just had a daughter, was not overjoyed, because the Empress Dowager was not in good health, and the imperial doctor had vaguely stated that the Empress Dowager might not have many days left.Kangxi wanted to get angry, and wanted someone to cut down a bunch of useless imperial physicians; again and again, he wisely knew that his grandmother didn't live long.He served decoctions day and night without leaving his relatives, and even walked to the Temple of Heaven to pray to God to reduce his lifespan so as to prolong the life of the Empress Dowager, but all was in vain.

On December 25, the Empress Dowager died of illness at the age of 75.This legendary woman finally finished her legendary life. Before she died, she even said that in order not to disturb the peace of Taizong's coffin, the coffin would not be transported to Shengjing to be buried with Taizong.

Wan Zhao knelt in the mourning hall with her eight-month-old stomach stretched out, and the cold wind like a knife made her face hurt.The sky outside was gloomy, but there was no trace of snowflakes falling; the mourning hall was as cold as ice, and no amount of clothes could resist the biting chill.She looked at the leading plaque, her gaze was so far away that she didn't know where to look.

This new year was depressing, Wan Zhao shrank her swollen calf into the hot quilt, feeling the vitality of the child in her belly.In one month, the baby will be born.
