Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

"Congratulations." Concubine Wen said with a slight smile, "What did the imperial doctor say? Is everything all right with this baby?"

"Everything is fine, but the dragon fetus is not yet three months old, so I have to rest well." An He said, "Sister, sit down quickly. I see that my sister is haggard. Are you busy with managing palace affairs recently?"

"Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong are my co-managers of the Six Palaces. I don't think it's very busy. It's just that there are a lot of trivial things and it takes a lot of energy." Concubine Wen touched her face, "What about Concubine Tong There are many children, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is full of energy and waiting for orders; I am not idle here, I must pay attention to the news of Chengqian Palace all the time, for fear that if I am not careful, I will not report it in time , making the emperor unhappy again."

"Is Concubine Tong's pregnancy really bad?" Calculated the time, it should be more than five months. Although there were signs of a miscarriage before, but with the medical skills of so many imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital, it is time to save this pregnancy. .An He asked, "Is it possible that there is another variable?"

"Concubine Tong also attaches great importance to this pregnancy. It's just that she has a weak constitution. It is even more frustrating to work so hard to arrange the affairs of the harem at the beginning of her pregnancy. This time, she was taken away by the Empress Dowager. Only then is she willing to concentrate on confinement, but how can it be so easy to make up for the strained before?" Concubine Wen took a sip of tea, "I don't feel comfortable eating anything now, and I ask for things one after another. I'm so anxious that I'm sweating, I heard that my hair has turned gray."

"Isn't the head of the House of Internal Affairs the father of Concubine De, no wonder I heard that Concubine De has a very unsightly complexion these days." An He said with a light smile, "It's not that Concubine Tong didn't know what Concubine Tong was thinking. I’m afraid I’ll complain even more.”

"Talking about what they do, you shouldn't think about it now, just take care of your baby." Concubine Wen smiled and said, "Since it was reported that you were pregnant, the Empress Dowager's health has been getting better day by day , it can be seen that the child in your belly is also a lucky one. The empress dowager heard that I came to see you today, and specially ordered me to bring you some medicinal herbs for health and the prayer beads that were offered in front of the Buddha, and asked you to take it with you .”

"The Empress Dowager is so kind to me." An He took the small brocade box from Concubine Wen, "After three months have passed, I must go to the Empress Dowager to thank you."

"As long as you are doing well, the Empress Dowager will be happy." Concubine Wen looked at the Western clock in the house, "I still have something to do in Yongshou Palace, so I will go back first and come to see you in a few days."

"Sister, go slowly." An He asked Feiqing to send Concubine Wen out, and asked her to count the things she brought before putting them away.

Wanyan Sister came over to help her tuck the corner of the quilt, and said: "It's time for the master to take a nap, let's take a rest first."

"Nurse, you heard what elder sister said just now. Go and find out what's going on." An He took this opportunity to order softly.

"Yes."

Three months after her belly was full, An He finally "lifted the ban", put on a new flag outfit and came to Chengqian Palace, led by Concubine Tong to greet the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.Mammy Wanyan told her that it turned out that Concubine Tong felt that her five-month pregnancy looked smaller than others' five-month pregnancy, so she tried every means to make up for it.This is a pain for the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After all, some things are not in season, and it takes a long time to find them.However, the people in Chengqian Palace pressed him so hard, it's no wonder Depin's father was worried.But now that it has been supplemented for more than a month, An He doesn't see the effect well.

Little Tong has never been out of the palace since entering the palace, and spends New Years with Concubine Tong in the palace.But after not seeing her for a while, An He felt that Xiao Tong's appearance was getting better and better, as delicate as a budding rose.

Maybe it was because her concubine pointed out to An He's younger brother, but Concubine Tong became more and more pleasant to An He, pulling her to talk for a long time, and she was not willing to set off until all the concubines had arrived.It was also the first time for An He to see the two concubines Yuan and Borzigit who had entered the palace.The Borzigit family is also the daughter of Prince Horqin Darhan and Ta, and Kangxi's cousin, but now she can only temporarily occupy the position of concubine, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.

After receiving another reward from the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, An He came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, boarded a sedan chair and went back to Qixiang Palace.

"I looked at Concubine Tong's complexion today, and she still doesn't look very good." An He took a sip and said softly, "She's about the same age as Sister Yifei's pregnancy, but her stomach is smaller than Sister Yifei's, no wonder it's pressed The people at the Taitai Hospital insisted that they prescribe tonic prescriptions for her."

"Concubine Tong Gui was tired back then, so what's the use of making up for it now?" Wanyan Mama said, "Today, the servant girl sees how she greets the master, it's not as deserted as before."

Concubine Tong and her sister were direct competitors at the beginning, how could Concubine Tong give her a good face, it would be nice if she didn't face her coldly.Now that her sister has passed away, Concubine Tong already has the demeanor of No. 1 in the harem. In addition, Tong's family is married to Niu Hulu's family, Concubine Tong must treat each other well on the face of it.An He took a bite of the pastry and said, "Our two families can be considered in-laws. For this reason, it's hard for her to maintain her style."

"Master, there's news from Chengqian Palace that Concubine Tong Gui has become pregnant." Jinxiu hurried in to report.

"What's the matter? I was fine in the Compassionate Ning Palace just now." An He hurriedly asked.

"The slaves don't know either, Chengqian Palace is in a mess now." Jinxiu hurriedly replied, "Master, do you want to send someone to inquire?"

"Let Xiaohezi go to Chengqian Palace to have a look, don't talk too much." An He said, "Don't contact Cuiyu for now."

"Your maidservant knows." Jinxiu hurriedly found Xiao Hezi and asked him to go to Chengqian Palace.

Only later did I find out that it was Concubine Tong who got up and walked around the courtyard every day as ordered by the imperial physician after returning to Chengqian Palace.Since it was her own palace after all, Concubine Tong didn't let anyone surround her, she only brought her confidant maid Chunqian and Xiao Tong's.But I didn't expect that the maid who was sweeping the floor was lazy and didn't clean up the dead branches and leaves on the ground. Concubine Tong stepped on the branch wearing a flowerpot shoe. Although she didn't sprain her foot, she was shocked, which led to fetal gas .

The court lady was naturally sent to the Punishment Department, but Concubine Tong's birth was not delayed until full term.After lying on the bed for a long time, she finally gave birth to a princess prematurely in June.When the little princess was born, her whole body was blue, and her crying sound was no different from that of a kitten. Even the maternity doctor Wei Taiyi could only shake her head and sigh softly, saying "Do your best to obey the destiny".

In the middle of June, the little princess finally failed to survive and died in her sleep.Concubine Tong Gui was so sad that she couldn't help herself, she wished to cut that maid who swept the floor into pieces.The imperial doctor told her that due to the many hardships of this pregnancy, the possibility of her being able to conceive another child in the future is almost zero. The little princess is gone, and she will never be able to have children in the future.
