Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

At the end of August, when newcomers entered the palace, Anhe saw Zhang Jiashi again.My aunts had said during the re-election before that she behaved generously and decently. It could be seen that her family was very strict, and her every move was very in line with the style of a lady.Zhang Jia's appearance is gentle and delicate, with a pair of peach blossom eyes and a slight smile, wearing a flag dress embroidered with gold stripes in the color of Concubine Yang, sitting in a well-behaved manner.

"You don't have to be so cautious here in this palace, because the Empress Dowager is still ill and Concubine Tong Guifei is not in good health, so you can't pay them a visit for the time being." An He asked Feihong to send Zhang Jiashi a A set of pearl red silver head mask, "This is a meeting gift from this palace, please accept it."

"Thank you, Ma'am." Zhang Jiashi got up quickly, "I heard that there are still a few older sisters in Qixiang Palace, I wonder if the maidservants will disturb the older sisters when they visit now?"

"Wan Liuha Chang is pregnant now, so it's not suitable to visit; Concubine Yuan Shu and Concubine Zhang Shu are also fine." Wan Liuha Chang was diagnosed as pregnant two months ago.An He was about to continue talking, but when she saw Madam Wanyan, she walked in, first bowed to Mrs. Zhang Jia, and then whispered a few words in An He's ear.

An He nodded, turned his head and said to Zhang Jia with a smile: "Just now there is good news from Concubine Yuan Shu, I have to go and have a look. If you are not tired, why don't you go with me Let's visit Concubine Yuan Shu. Feihong, go and gather a congratulatory gift."

Seeing this, Zhang Jia also ordered her maidservant Zhu Ru to go and pack up a congratulatory gift first, then she pulled up her sleeves and followed An He to Concubine Yuan Shu's place.As soon as she stepped into her bedroom, Zhang Jia could smell a scent of incense. Although it was only a faint scent of jasmine, she remembered that her mother-in-law said that it is better for pregnant women to use less incense. What does Concubine Yuan Shu think?She glanced at the smoker on the table, opened her mouth or silently lowered her eyes.

An He also smelled it, frowned slightly and said, "Since it has been diagnosed as pregnant, why are you still lighting incense? Didn't the nanny who was serving Concubine Yuan Shu know to mention it? Hurry up and pour it out." , Open the window to smell it."

Concubine Yuan Shu's originally smug smile froze in an instant. She listened to the congratulatory sounds of the servants around her, but forgot about it, and hurriedly said, "It's just the fragrance of jasmine. Nanny Luo, hurry up and take this Take out the incense burner."

"You are pregnant with the emperor's heir, so you must be careful in everything. Don't think that it doesn't matter just because of the scent of jasmine." An He seemed not to have noticed the ugly expression on Concubine Yuan Shu's face. If you can't use it, I will also order the Ministry of Internal Affairs not to send it to you. From now on, please ask for the Ping An pulse on time. Don't just pretend that you feel good. Everyone around you should take good care of your master. .”

With a rigorous attitude, she told Concubine Yuan Shu and the people around her about the precautions during pregnancy, and An Hecai said: "This is Concubine Zhang Jia who entered the palace today. From now on, we will be sisters living together in the same palace. Get along with each other, you know?"

"Yes." Concubine Yuan Shu twitched her lips and answered.Concubine Niu Hulu brought a beautiful and young concubine to her just after she was pregnant. Isn't this deliberately against her?After secretly glaring at Zhang Jiashi, Concubine Yuan Shu lowered her eyes.

It's not that Zhang Jia didn't see the look in Concubine Yuan Shu's eyes, but she just thought that it's not appropriate for her to have grudges with the old people in the palace when she recently entered the palace. It's just that Concubine Yuan Shu is too arrogant. She had heard about it before entering the palace. It seems that she is not a person worthy of association figure.

There were two pregnant women in Qixiang Palace at once, and An He was even more inseparable.The Empress Dowager also thought that she had to take care of all the affairs of the harem and take care of the two pregnant concubines, so she ordered the fourth concubine to help out more or less, which eased the burden on Anhe's shoulders.Perhaps it was because of her younger sister's entry into the palace that Concubine Tong's expression improved a lot during this time. Kangxi also gave the Tong family face, and the first favor was given to Xiao Tong.

"Master, Concubine Yuan Shu is making trouble again, this time she says she wants to eat fresh lychees." Madam Wanyan was so disgusted by Concubine Yuan Shu's pretentious pretense of pregnancy, she curled her lips and said, "It's autumn now How can I find any fresh lychees for her? That's all right, every night before, she said that the dishes made in the imperial dining room were not to her liking, and she didn't dislike the things made in the small kitchen that the master opened for her. At that time, the materials thrown out of her small kitchen were worth her own monthly salary."

"Since she doesn't like to eat, there is no need for the small kitchen to cook for her." An He was also tired of Concubine Yuan Shu's hypocritical appearance, "I originally gave her a special exception because I saw that she was pregnant, but I didn't expect her Instead, she became proud of being favored. Her monthly salary is limited, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already selected the best things for her, so what right does she have to criticize again and again."

"Isn't that right? The servant girl looked at her just because she was dissatisfied with Concubine Tong Shu and Concubine Zhang Jia's being favored, so she insisted on making some fools come out to ask the emperor to take a look at her." Nunnery Wanyan said in a low voice, "I heard that the emperor went to visit her some time ago. Seeing that Wanliuha was always there, she even ran to where Wanliuha was always there."

"Why didn't anyone tell me what happened when?" An He asked.

"It's about the previous thing. Wanliuha Changzai is so temperamental that she doesn't want to care about her. She also complained that Wanliuha Changzai is pregnant so don't bully the emperor. Wanliuha Changzai is almost angry. Fetal gas. This servant feels that this is too much."

Wan Liuha Changzai originally lived in Yongshou Palace, but she moved to Qixiang Palace after Yongshou Palace rested.After An He was established as a noble concubine, she also respected An He enough, and she was low-key and did not like to fight. An He felt pretty good about her.It's just that Concubine Yuan Shu, not to mention such a gentle person as Wan Liuha, probably couldn't bear it no matter how good-tempered she was.

"Go and tell the imperial doctor in charge of Wanliuha's birth in the imperial hospital, and ask him to take good care of Wanliuha's body." An He glanced at the western clock, "I am afraid that the empress dowager will wake up from a nap at this time. Now, come with me to the Compassionate Ning Palace, I have to report this matter to the Empress Dowager."

"Yes."

An He had just put on a light lake-colored bamboo and stone-patterned tapestry waistcoat, when Yin'e threw off her nurse and ran in.He is about to turn two years old now, and he can already call "Er Niang" and "Brother".Seeing that An He was about to go out, he rushed to An He's arms and climbed onto her lap with hands and feet, with an expression of "I want to go too".An He also has nothing to do with him, if he could coax a few words from Yinxuan when he was a child, but Yin'e's stubborn temper doesn't know who to follow, he refuses to listen to anything, and walks away as soon as he wants to let go Surely he was going to cry.

An He had no choice but to lead him to the Compassion Palace.

The empress dowager's complexion has also improved a lot during this time, she was all smiles when she saw An He and Yin'e coming over, and beckoned to let Yin'e come to her.

"Our ten elder brothers have grown taller again." The Empress Dowager wore a pair of glasses on her nose, which was said to have been introduced by Westerners.She looked at Yin'e carefully for a moment, then smiled and said to An He, "I heard that Yinzuo has been studying very well recently, and the masters all praised him very much, which shows that you teach well."

"The empress dowager has won the award, and it's all thanks to the masters. It's just that the prince has been able to supervise him because Yin Zhe studied next to the prince." Seeing that Yin'e had reached out to the plate of dim sum by the empress dowager, An He couldn't help but Feeling a little ashamed, he said, "I think the empress dowager is in better health, so today I decided to bring Yin'e to pay my respects first. The empress dowager won't blame the slaves for coming uninvited."

"It's good that you're here, I just need someone to talk to me." The Empress Dowager saw that Yin'er wanted some snacks, so she asked someone to go to the kitchen to bring some fresh and warm ones, "Concubine Tong's health is good and bad, What did the doctor say?"

"I can only keep it like this forever, and I can't get angry or work hard, otherwise I'm afraid it will induce the root cause of the disease." An He replied, "I just heard that Concubine Tong Gui's health has improved a lot recently, and she will probably come back soon. The Empress Dowager is here to serve you."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand but didn't speak, she took a sip of tea and asked, "Wan Liuha is always with Concubine Yuan Shu, but is everything okay? What does the imperial doctor say?"

"Everything is fine. Wan Liuha Changzai is now five months pregnant, and has been following the imperial physician's orders to recuperate; but Concubine Yuan Shu, who is probably young and healthy, has been visiting here and there just after three months of pregnancy. The servant wants to persuade her but is afraid that she will think too much, and I don't know what to do now." An He knew that the Empress Dowager had heard about Concubine Yuan Shu's actions during this period, so she couldn't complain openly, after all, the world is full of pregnant women The biggest thing is that Concubine Yuan Shu still has Kangxi's heirs in her stomach.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager gave a faint "hmm" and said, "I heard that she was quite noisy in Qixiang Palace during this time, and she was almost so angry that Wan Liuha's fetus moved?"

"It's just that she is young and ignorant." An He said, "It's just that if Concubine Yuan Shu continues to make trouble like this, I'm afraid it will be bad for her and the fetus. So I thought, why don't I think of a way to make her have a good baby. But if the slave If she comes forward, Concubine Yuan Shu will definitely feel that the servant girl is targeting her, so today the servant girl not only came to greet the Empress Dowager, but also wanted to ask the Empress Dowager to think of a way."

"You girl, you pushed the matter to me." The Empress Dowager said with a smile.She knew An He's concerns, so she didn't say anything, "Emperor Liu is in charge of Yuan's pulse at the Imperial Hospital, so someone should go and talk to him and ask him to 'warn' Yuan's so that she can have a safe pregnancy. That's it."

"Yes." One of An He's goals had been achieved, and he breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing the palace servants bringing in the soup, she reached out to take it, served the Empress Dowager to drink it herself, and said, "The Emperor just talked to his servants about next year's southern tour, and said that he wanted to take the Empress Dowager to the south of the Yangtze River. Let's go, we can see how filial the emperor is."

"The emperor likes to do these things, it is enough for him to have this kind of intention."

Although he said so, An He clearly felt the joy glowing on the Empress Dowager's face, and sighed silently in his heart.The empress dowager has aged a lot compared to when she first entered the palace. Birth, old age, sickness and death are definite. She remembers that the empress dowager will pass away in 26 years at the latest in history. How sad Kangxi will be at that time, think about it now Then I also know.
