By the time Concubine De completely came out of the pain of losing her daughter and appeared in front of everyone again, it was already New Year's Eve this year.

The process is the same every year, the only difference is that at this year's New Year's Eve palace banquet, the imperial concubine is pregnant.

This year, the empress dowager has not yet arrived due to illness. The empress dowager is on the left hand side of the emperor, and the seat of the imperial concubine is on the right hand side of the emperor. The imperial concubine felt unwell after taking a bite at the banquet. Still sweating.

Ben was the closest to the emperor, so he was immediately noticed.

"What's wrong with the imperial concubine? Are you feeling unwell?" Kangxi asked with concern.

"The concubine seems to have an imbalance in her spleen and stomach. In the past two days, she has always felt sick for no reason."

The concubines in the palace who heard these words had different expressions, and the concubines who had given birth all had the same guess in their hearts, but the imperial concubine who has been here for so many years may not really be what they thought.

The imperial concubine wanted to continue to plead guilty, and invited her to go back to the palace to rest, but unexpectedly, she heard the emperor say: "Go and get the imperial doctor and show it to the imperial concubine."

Kangxi was still very nervous about his direct cousin who had been with him for more than ten years. Coupled with the passing away of the Empress Yuan and the Empress Dowager, he always felt that his fate was too hard and he might be suspected of overpowering his wife. One of the reasons why Jin made his cousin the queen.

The imperial doctor was urgently summoned by the emperor in the middle of the night, thinking that something had happened to the emperor, he ran out of breath, when he went to the palace, he found that the imperial concubine was not feeling well, but she was shocked .

"My minister bows to the emperor, the queen mother and all the empresses."

Kangxi waved his hand impatiently, and said to him: "Okay, hurry up and show the imperial concubine what's going on."

"The minister obeys the order!"

The imperial doctor hurried forward, knelt on the ground, and took out the objects used for pulse diagnosis from the medical box he brought.

"The imperial concubine, please put your wrist on this pillow."

The expression on the imperial doctor's face became more and more serious, and the imperial concubine was also in a state of turmoil. Could it be that she really had some incurable disease?

In the end, the imperial doctor smiled lightly, cupped his hands and said: "My minister congratulates the emperor, congratulates the empress dowager, congratulates the imperial concubine, the empress is more than three months pregnant."

The imperial concubine was stunned upon hearing this sentence, her first reaction was not joy, but thinking that the imperial doctor might have made a wrong diagnosis, right?How could she be pregnant all of a sudden?In the past ten years, she has never conceived once, and even she no longer has any hope for it.

"Really?" Kangxi was overjoyed and asked again.

"Reporting to the emperor, Your Majesty is already three months pregnant, and the month is not too young. If the emperor is still not at ease, he can call the two imperial physicians who are on duty with the minister today to take a pulse together."

"Then ask them to have another examination." Kangxi thought that his cousin was weak and would not be pregnant, after all, it had been so many years.

"In order to be on the safe side, we should be more cautious." The Queen Mother also said the same.

In the end, the three imperial physicians came to the same conclusion, and the imperial concubine became the most concerned person at the palace banquet.

Thinking about it, as long as the imperial concubine's child is born safely, if it is another prince, it is a certainty that he will take the second place.

The noble concubine Niu Hulu's hand under the table tightly squeezed the handkerchief, after all, it is human beings who are not as good as heaven.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the empress dowager, congratulations to the imperial concubine." Everyone in the hall stood up together and congratulated in unison.

"The imperial concubine is very lucky. I wonder if the imperial concubine can let the concubines know how you were pregnant with the dragon descendant? The concubine has been in the palace for two years, and I am a little anxious."

The concubines all pricked up their ears. After all, the noble concubine was in a hurry and asked about this matter in public. Presumably, the imperial concubine had not been able to conceive a son and a half for so many years. This happened suddenly. If there is no magic method , no one will believe it.

The imperial concubine was stunned for a moment, she really kept everything the same, she didn't do anything, she had never tried any method before, it was said that she had taken an incomparably effective prescription, praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, all of them were useless, sometimes there must be in her life, There is no time in life, no matter how much you force it, it will never come.

Before she opened her mouth, it suddenly occurred to her that three months ago, that is, on the eve of her pregnancy, she happened to go to the palace.

"If you talk about the other side, it's nothing. Everything in this palace is as usual, and nothing has changed in the past ten years. However, three months ago, this palace accompanied the emperor to Tantuo Temple, and the concubine and sister were among them. , Do you still remember that Xiao Liu gave me a thousand-year-old ginkgo leaf that day?"

Yin Zuo, who was suddenly named, was still eating, and everyone looked at him. He could only cover his mouth with two small hands, and showed everyone a cute and shy smile.

"The concubine will naturally remember." The imperial concubine immediately remembered.

"Xiao Liu personally gave it to me. I liked the thought very much, so I put the ginkgo leaf in the brocade bag and hung it on the bedside. The abbot said that the ginkgo has many children and blessings. I guess I got it." Such a blessing."

Hearing these words, the eyes of Concubine Gui, Concubine Yi and Concubine De flickered slightly, the three of them also got a slice that day, but they never hung on the bedside like the imperial concubine.

Yifei suddenly remembered that the leaf was really pretty, she put it in the drawer of the dresser, and her menstruation last month was less than usual, it shouldn't be.

"Your Majesty, my concubine also got the ginkgo leaves presented by the sixth elder brother, why don't you let the imperial doctor show it to my concubine too?" Concubine Yi seemed to be joking, only she knew in her heart that she really had such a thing. guess.

"I remember the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine, you and the concubine De, the four of you got the ginkgo leaves presented by Xiaoliu, so let the three imperial physicians take a pulse for each of you." Kangxi just thought it was interesting, and said casually , he really didn't take it too seriously.

But after a while, two of the three imperial physicians showed joy.

"Congratulations, Concubine Yi."

"Congratulations, Empress Concubine De."

The remaining imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, and could only say: "The imperial concubine is in good health."

After sending out four ginkgo leaves, Yin Zuo was shocked by the addition of three younger brothers and sisters.

At this moment, Kangxi was overjoyed.

"Xiao Liu, come to me."

Yinzuo couldn't help but hiccupped, and then let Madam Cheng lead him from his seat to Huang Ama.

Because Yinzuo is small and has short legs, climbing up the steps is really tiring for him, so Kangxi walked up to Yinzuo by himself and picked him up.

"Thanks to you, Xiao Liu! You are really my child-giving fairy boy, tell me, what reward do you want?"

As soon as these words came out, even the elder brother cast an envious look at Yinzuo.

Xu Zuo opened his mouth, and hiccupped again under the eyes of all the people, his little face turned red immediately, and he buried himself in Huang Ama's chest, unwilling to raise his head.

Kangxi was amused by his actions.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Liu is still young, how do you know this, the emperor will reward Xiao Liu with more delicious and fun things." The imperial concubine didn't want her favorite Xiao Liu to become a thorn in the eyes of everyone, so she followed his preferences. Asked for some insensitive rewards for him.

"Xiao Liu, you said it yourself, but you really want something delicious and fun?" Kangxi smiled and asked the little guy in his arms.

Yin Zuo finally recovered, his little face was still a little red, but his eyes were extremely bright, he said: "Huang Ama, next time you go hunting, can you take Xiao Liu with you~"

He had heard a lot of interesting stories about hunting on their way to Shengjing last time from the prince's brother, and he really wanted to see it with his own eyes.

"How difficult is this, I promise you it will be!"

Kangxi also gave him a sapphire dragon pendant that he was wearing today, and then let him go back.

After returning to his seat, Yin Zuo handed the sapphire dragon Pei to his brother casually, and he got used to it, and he gave most of the treasures he picked up from Huang Ama to his brother.

Yinzhen didn't accept it this time, but said to him: "Put it away yourself, this is Huang Ama's favorite."

In the past, it didn't matter that he kept those things for Yinzuo, but this jade pendant has a different meaning. It may be of great use in the future, and it can be loved by Huang Ama. In the future, when Yinzuo grows up, he can live a more comfortable life .

"Okay then." Seeing that his brother was so serious, Yin Zuo put it in his purse and kept it by himself.

Yin Zhi and Yin Qi on the side both looked over.

"Xiao Liu, what kind of ginkgo leaf is really your gift?" Yin Qi asked.

Yin Zuo nodded, it was indeed he who sent it out.

"It's too effective! Can you give me a piece too?" Yinzhi looked at him expectantly.

"Third brother, I only took four pieces that day, but there are many more at Tantuo Temple, which are the leaves of the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in the temple. Why don't you ask someone to go there, and you can take as many as you want."

The second princess suddenly ran over and knocked her own brother on the head.

"How old are you, and now you can't have children, what do you want?"

"Second Sister Huang~" Yin Zuo called out obediently.

"Hey! Xiao Liu is the most obedient." The second princess reached out and pinched the little guy's chubby face again.

Yinzhi rubbed his head that hurt from the knock, and said unconvinced: "Didn't I want to keep it for my future Fujin?"

"You think far enough." The older brother who had been listening to them all the time couldn't help turning his head and interjected.

"Isn't it, brother, you must think so too!" Yin Zhi answered.

After all, both of their mothers are old and not suitable for another child.

"But I really don't have any. I got the leaves at Tantuo Temple. At that time, there was a gust of wind in the sky. I opened my hands to catch them, and I just received four pieces, and then sent them all out." Yinzuo also I think it's amazing, but there are only four leaves.

"Okay, it may not really be the effect of Yinzuo's leaves. Isn't the imperial concubine not pregnant?" Yinzhen didn't want Yinzuo to fall into this kind of right and wrong, and be jealous of others.

"Right."

A few days later, an interesting story came out. It is said that Yongshou Palace sent a maid to Xinzheku.

More than a month later, on February [-]nd, news came out from Yongshou Palace that the imperial concubine was also pregnant, and now everyone was convinced by the ginkgo leaves at Tantuo Temple.

If it weren't for the fact that Tantuo Temple was a royal temple, I'm afraid the threshold would have been trampled down, but even so, there was still news that some thieves sneaked into the temple over the wall in the middle of the night, and they didn't steal the merit box. Ben to the location of the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree.

In the early morning of the second day, the little master in the temple took a broom to sweep the fallen leaves, but found that the ground was clean. If the tree was not too tall, it might have been bald.

Another month later, Concubine Yi's younger sister, Guo Luoluo, was also pregnant.

Wanliu Hashi, who had a good relationship with Concubine De, ran to the Yonghe Palace. On this day, Yinzuo and his brother were also with Erniang in the Yonghe Palace.

"Rou Wan, let me tell you!" Wanliu Hashi just came in, and the excited voice stopped abruptly, because she found that there were still two juniors, the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother, in the hall.

"Ahem! The fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother are also there, isn't it a coincidence, ha ha." Wan Liuhashi laughed twice.

"Sit down, the two of them are not outsiders, you don't have to be embarrassed." Concubine De smiled.

"Didn't you have something to tell me just now? What is it?"

After all, Wan Liuha couldn't control his gossiping heart, and couldn't help but say to his good sister: "Then little Guo Luoluo is pregnant, did you know?"

"I heard that the emperor is very happy. It is said that he has rewarded a lot of good things from Yikun Palace."

"I just came out from her, and she told me with a proud face that Concubine Yi gave her the ginkgo leaf, and she got pregnant." Wan Liuha could not help but roll his eyes.

"You also believe this?" Concubine De smiled and shook her head.

But thinking of this, Concubine De took a look at Aunt Qing who was standing beside her and waited on her. Aunt Qing immediately understood what her mother meant, took a step back, and quietly withdrew.

"Of course I don't believe it. The emperor likes to go to Yikun Palace on weekdays. Concubine Yi is pregnant, so she just let her own sister sleep with her. It's hard for others to even see the emperor, let alone have one." Pregnant." Wanliu Hashi was still awake after all.

"Your Majesty." Aunt Qing stepped forward, holding a purse in her hand.

"Give it to Wan Guiren." Concubine De ordered.

"This is?" Wan Liuha was puzzled.

"Xiao Guo Luoluo has sisters, and you have sisters too, why should you envy her." Concubine De looked at her tenderly and said.

Wanliu Hashi's eyes turned red immediately. Others said that he loved to curry favor with Concubine De, but he entered the palace with Concubine De and stayed together for a few years. He didn't even look at his current status, so he fell in love with Yonghe all day long. Palace run.

But in fact, during the years when they supported each other in the palace, they were as close as sisters and intimate.Even if they became the emperor's concubines together, their relationship has not changed. Rou Wan is now one of the honorable four concubines, and she is only a small noble person, but every time she comes by herself, Rou Wan always treats her Very kind, never look down on yourself.

"This... this is too expensive, I can't take it! Rou Wan, you better take it back and put it away!"

Concubine De touched her belly and said with a smile: "Now I have two brothers, Yinzhen and Yinzuo, and there is one more in my stomach. Even if I don't have this ginkgo leaf, it's okay, but you, are you not my palace?" The people here, I can't help you with anything else, this is also my blessing to you, take it away."

Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, he had never seen such a side of E Niang, heirs are so important to the women in the palace, he knew without saying too much, she actually gave it as soon as she said it, he always felt that E Niang was in the palace Being able to stand tall is because she only cares about herself.

However, he suddenly remembered that after he succeeded to the throne in the previous life, his relationship with Er Niang was already very tense, but Er Niang had offered to ask for a favor for Wan Liu Ha Shi, allowing him to be promoted to Wan Liu, who was only a concubine at that time. Liuhashi is the concubine, this concubine Ding is truly a blessed person, and she lived to be 97 years old.

"Wan Niangniang, you are Erniang's sister and Xiaoliu's aunt. This ginkgo leaf is a small gift that Xiaoliu asks Erniang to give to Auntie. If Auntie doesn't accept it, does it mean that she doesn't like Xiaoliu?" Yin Yin Zuo opened her big eyes, trying to be cute on purpose.

Wan Liuha's heart softened immediately, and she was unwilling to refuse.

"How can I be worthy of the sixth elder brother's auntie? Sixth elder brother can't call it that anymore. Be careful to let people listen to it. I just accept it."

She couldn't help stretching out her arms towards Yinzuo, and said tentatively, "How about letting me hug Sixth Brother?"

It didn't matter to Yinzuo, he just slid off the couch and threw himself into Wanliuha's arms.

"Wan Niangniang will give Xiao Liu a younger brother."

"Why not my sister?" Wan Liuhashi was puzzled.

"Because Erniang already has a younger sister in her belly~"

Wan Liuhashi knew that Concubine De had been having a hard time because of the loss of Little Gege, and it took her a long time to come out. She glanced at Concubine De and saw that Concubine De was very happy to hear what she said.

"Xiao Liu, are you sure this is my sister?"

Yin Zuo nodded with certainty, and replied: "It's my sister~"

A few days later, Concubine De went to Chengqian Palace to pay her respects to the imperial concubine. With so many women together, it is natural that she likes to talk about gossip, and now the most discussed in the harem is the ginkgo leaves of Natantuo Temple.

"Imperial Concubine, when is Your Majesty going to visit Tantuo Temple again this year?" Concubine Xi, who has been favored for many years like the Imperial Concubine but has never been able to conceive, couldn't help inquiring about the news.

"This... I don't know. Last September, because the Empress Dowager was unwell and there were rumors in the palace, the emperor decided to go to the temple to pray for blessings."

Of course, the fact is that because of Yinzuo's reminder, the imperial concubine did not tell the truth.

The concubines sat for more than an hour today before they dispersed.

Talking with this group of women, the imperial concubine felt a little dizzy.

Concubine De stayed behind as usual.

"The imperial concubine is pregnant for the first time, and I am afraid that she will be extra tired. She needs to rest more on weekdays. Here is a written note for the concubine during pregnancy. When the imperial concubine has nothing to do, you can take a look at it for reference. "

Aunt Qing stepped forward and presented the wrapped letter paper.

The personal maid beside the imperial concubine took it and handed it to her master. The imperial concubine flipped through two pages and nodded repeatedly.

"You've made up your mind. That's right. I didn't tell them just now. In fact, I went to Tantuo Temple because of what Xiao Liu said. Xiao Liu did it for you."

Concubine De didn't understand what it meant, she smiled and said: "I also ask the imperial concubine to help my concubine."

"During that time, you were saddened by the little Gege who had just died. Xiaoliu was very worried. He and Yinzhen felt that maybe as long as you had the next little Gege, you would not be so sad. He asked me how I could To let you have his new sister, Ben Gong told him that the right time, place and people are in harmony, and then he mentioned the temple.

That little fellow begged Ben Gong to take him to the temple to worship on your behalf, so Ben Gong found an opportunity to mention it to the emperor. The emperor refused to allow it at first, so Xiao Liu used it all in acting coquettishly and shamelessly. Unexpectedly, the emperor After being entangled with him for a long time, he actually agreed, now you know, speaking of it, I am still blessed by you. "

Concubine De's heart felt warm, yet sore, her eyes gradually became moist, she leaned over, and gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a veil.

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for informing the concubine about this matter. The concubine was really sad and ignored Xiaosi and Xiaoliu."

"Yes, they are all your children, don't be biased and hurt the hearts of the children." Now that the imperial concubine has become a mother-in-law, her heart has become softer, and it is rare to say a caring word to the concubine De.

"The teachings of the imperial concubine will be kept in mind by the concubines."

"Now that you and I are both pregnant, Ben Gong's words are not only reminding you, but also reminding yourself that the two children are excellent, we should love them more, and we can't make them feel that they have a younger brother. Sister, I don’t love them anymore.” After little Gege was born, the disappointment in Xiaoliu’s eyes was seen by the imperial concubine.

"Yes."

Yinzuo suddenly discovered that the two mothers are very good to him, not only making all kinds of delicious food for himself, but also taking the initiative to play with him~

The author says:

The main thing here is the warm mother-child relationship, Erniang knows Xiaoliu's care and devotion to her, and Wanliu Hashi is also the concubine Ding, she is the longest-lived concubine in the entire Qing court!She was still very happy in her later years, and Qianlong treated her very well.
