Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

After the news of An He's pregnancy spread, the concubines in the harem gnashed their teeth, but seeing the rewards from the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor being sent to Kunning Palace like flowing water, they could only hold their noses and said with a smile If you are happy, people will send a lot of congratulatory gifts.An He asked Madam Wanyan to take inventory and put it away, except for her sister, Kangxi, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager's things, the rest were not displayed.

"The anti-fetal medicine is ready, master, drink it while it's hot." Jinxiu brought a dark bowl of medicine, as well as snacks such as plums and peanut cakes, "I know that after taking the medicine, the master's mouth stinks." Bitter, so the servant also asked the kitchen staff to make pickled plums and peanut crisps, and eat some to suppress the bitter taste in the mouth after drinking the medicine."

"Actually, it's nothing if you're used to drinking it, but the pickled plums made in the small kitchen are delicious." An He was able to drink up the concoction in the bowl without changing his face, and put a plum into his mouth, "Probably some time ago I’m too hungry, and now I want to eat anything delicious. Tonight, I asked the people in the small kitchen to make me a clear soup vermicelli. The soup base uses mutton soup that has removed the smell, and put a few slices of meat and pickled radish on top. With shredded pickled cucumber."

"Master has become more and more concerned about food, and he doesn't have so many demands in the past." Jinxiu sent Feiqing to the small kitchen to pass the message, while she twisted the handkerchief to wash An He's hands, "But master, just the noodle soup is enough, isn't it?" Do you want the servants to order the kitchen staff to cook a few more dishes?"

An He thought for a while, and then said: "Let's make fresh mushroom cabbage, crispy duck, and bad whitebait. My sister sent someone to send the bird's nest, so let's ask someone to cook the rock sugar bird's nest soup again."

"Master finally wants to eat." Wanyan Nanny brought the account book after counting the things, "Today, Concubine Wei Shu from Zhongcui Palace also brought something to the master, saying that it was a tiger embroidered by herself. A hat and some purses."

Weiss?An He paused holding the hand of the peanut crisp, and said, "Why did she think of sending something here?"

"I don't know much about the servants, they just said it was to congratulate the master on her pregnancy." Madam Wanyan knew about An He's rescue of the Wei family back then, but she also heard people in the palace talking about Wei's intention to seduce the emperor. , half of contempt and half of fear for this woman, fearing that she would take the opportunity to cling to her master.

"Bring it to me." An He said as he took out his handkerchief and wiped off the crumbs of peanut crisp.

Mammy Wanyan presented it quickly.The several purses are all embroidered with patterns of thousands of sons and grandchildren, and the material is Lu silk that is allowed to be used for each position. It is not a very good material, but it is better than the fine embroidery, which can make up for other shortcomings.An He picked up the purse and looked through it for a few times, then told Madam Wanyan: "Put it all away."

Seeing that An He's face was pale, Wanyan Mama thought that she didn't like this Wei Shi who had climbed onto the dragon bed in a hurry, so she asked people to lock everything up, and brought An He's unfinished book to her hand. , and prepared milk tea before standing aside to obey An He's orders at any time.

At the end of October, the nobleman was officially conferred the title of concubine.

On the fourth day of December, Concubine Yi gave birth to an elder brother in Yikun Palace. At this time, Kangxi also issued an order to bring back the tenth son of the emperor who had been sent to the house of the Minister of Internal Affairs.He also thought that there were already several elder brothers in the palace, so he thought about giving his child a name.After searching through the books, the "Yin" character generation was finally determined. The son of Hui concubine was Yinyu, the prince was Yinreng, the son of Rong concubine was Yinzhi, the son of Nala nobleman was Yinyu, and the son of De concubine was Yinzhen.

"You've only been here for three months, why did you come out?" Seeing that An He walked in slowly, the queen quickly asked Nanny Zhou to help her, and said with a frown, "The people around you don't know taboos, if How about a collision?"

"How could my sister be so worried? I have been bored in the house for two months. I only drink medicine and sleep and read story books every day. Even embroidery and needlework are stopped by my mother. The fetus is stable now. That's why I wanted to come here to greet my sister." An He said with a smile, "It seems that today is the best time for me to come, and the other sisters haven't arrived yet."

"You and I both got up early." The queen smiled and told An He to sit down.

At this time, a maid from the outside came in and passed on a message, saying: "Greetings to the master and concubine, and greetings to the concubine. The amber next to Concubine Tong is here, do you want to see the master?"

"Tell her to come in." The queen seemed to know what was going on with Amber's visit this time, so she didn't show any surprise on her face.After the palace maid went out, she said to An He, "I heard that Elder Brother Yinyu has been listless and uncomfortable for a while. Concubine Tong Guifei invited an imperial physician yesterday. It may be that Elder Brother is sick."

Sure enough, as the queen expected, Hu Po came to ask for leave for Concubine Tong Gui. She only said that Elder Brother Yinyu couldn't leave Concubine Tong for a moment after being caught in the cold, so he couldn't come to greet the queen today.The queen didn't say anything, she just asked Hu Po to go back and send a message to Concubine Tong Gui, she must take good care of her elder brother and make no mistakes.

"Brother Yinqi seems to be in poor health." In order to take into account An He's taste, the Queen often prepared something like goat milk or milk tea here. After taking a sip of the goat milk with chopped almonds, An He said "Previously Concubine Tong Gui didn't stop coming to pay her respects to her sister because of this matter. It seems that Elder Yinyu's condition is very serious this time."

"The child can't be hot or cold, and it's easy to get sick if there is any change in the weather. I've seen Tong Guifei lose a lot of weight in order to take care of brother Yinyu these days." The queen said, "So Ah, you must be very careful when you are pregnant, and your emotions must be calm, otherwise it is easy to hurt the baby in the womb."

The queen was teaching An He the lesson of Noble Nala, and An He also lowered his eyebrows to express that he would definitely listen to it.One after another, the concubines in the palace had already arrived. An He got up and greeted them before sitting down. When she looked up, she saw Concubine Hesheli's gentle smile.

When Anhe was raising her baby, concubine Hesheli was the most caring concubine, and she asked someone to send all the words in the house.Nodding to Concubine Hesheli to show that she was well, Anhe glanced at the corner of his eyes, only to see that Wei Shi standing behind Concubine Hui was also looking at her eagerly, with the corners of his eyebrows slightly raised.Everyone in the palace knew that she had helped Wei Shi before, and many people even laughed at her for helping a woman with ulterior motives.An He is not familiar with Wei Shi, and doesn't know her well, but no matter whether she intends to seduce Kangxi or not, it's better to keep a respectful distance from such a woman.She turned her gaze away calmly, but did not see Wei Shi's disappointed eyes.

An He didn't see it, but Concubine Zhang Shu who was standing opposite Wei did, and made a nasal sound of disdain.Because the Empress Dowager didn't want them to come to the Compassion Palace recently, they could leave after paying their respects to the Empress.An He stayed in the palace talking to the Queen, unaware that there was a dispute between Concubine Zhang Shu and Wei Shi outside.

"I said you should not show your pitiful appearance. No one here will accept your tricks." Concubine Zhang Shu gave birth to two daughters for Kangxi. Although they both died young, they were once very famous in the harem. .Wei's superior methods made many concubines feel ashamed, so this time when Concubine Zhang Shu ridiculed Wei, no one came forward to help out. "Concubine Niuhulu's concubine has a good temper and helped you, but don't think that she will always help you, especially after you still use this method to become a concubine in the harem."

"I didn't!" Wei Shi argued hard.

"Does everyone know in their hearts that the word 'deep city' is the best way to describe you." Concubine Zhang Shu snorted, looked up and down Wei Shi disdainfully, and then took her maid and left.

The queen and An He in the palace were silent when they heard the maid's reply.The queen pondered for a moment before saying: "That Wei family must be uneasy and well-intentioned, so you should stay away from her in the future."

"My sister was joking, and I don't know her very well. She is in Zhongcui Palace and I am in Kunning Palace. How could she come and go often." An He took a sip of goat milk, "If she wants to be the emperor's concubine, she should have Such mental preparations will be ridiculed by everyone."

"Okay, let's not talk about her." The Queen said with a light smile, "Stay with me for dinner today, I'll ask someone to prepare a lot of delicious food for you."

"Okay." An He replied with a smile.
