The emperor felt that this was definitely an immortal dance, otherwise it would have been such a coincidence that the queen mother came just as Niu Hulu fainted!

The emperor knew that if there were too many princes and princesses in the palace, he would fall out of favor.The queen mother didn't care about her son when she had a golden grandson. In the queen mother's heart, he was not as good as those little eunuchs who were born thin and pitiful.

The emperor stroked his neatly trimmed mustache, would he regain the empress's favor after shaving his beard?

The poor emperor is the son of heaven, and in order to get his mother's love, he began to think about competing for favor.

Qiqige pushed the emperor away mercilessly, almost making the emperor stagger.She rushed to Niu Hulu's bed and felt her pulse.

The emperor asked nervously: "Emperor mother, how is she?"

Qiqige felt it carefully with her eyes closed, and said after a while: "The pulse is strong and powerful, it should be fine."

The emperor asked: "Is there any more?"

Qiqige gave him a blank look, "I just read some medical books, and I'm not an imperial doctor, how can I tell?"

Emperor: Then what pulse do you take?Act like it's real!

The mother and son almost quarreled, but luckily the imperial doctor arrived at this time.

This time three imperial physicians came, and they took turns to take the pulse, while the emperor and Qi Qige waited anxiously.

A long time had passed by the time the three imperial physicians had all taken their pulses.The emperor asked anxiously: "What happened to Concubine Xian?"

The imperial physicians smiled and saluted together, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen mother, the concubine is happy."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and he suppressed his excitement and joy, and asked carefully about Niu Hulu's physical condition.

Niu Hulu entered the palace early, was talented, and had a common language with the emperor, and the emperor treated her a little more sincerely than others.The emperor's excitement at this moment is almost the same as when he had a son-in-law.

Qiqige was also in a daze. It turned out that Concubine Xian was pregnant, not irregular menstruation.

Niu Hulu was still in a coma, and the imperial physician did not recommend waking her up, so several people moved outside to talk.

The imperial doctor said: "The concubine Xian fainted because of her emotional agitation. The empress is in good health and the fetal appearance is good. She doesn't need to drink anti-fetal medicine, she just needs to relax and rest with peace of mind."

The imperial physicians left a list with taboos during pregnancy.The emperor was very happy and generously gave many rewards.

After all the imperial doctors had left, the emperor happily said to Qiqige: "Mother, you are going to have a golden grandson again!"

Qiqige sneered, "Don't change the subject, let me ask you, what did you say to Concubine Xian that caused her to faint from emotion?"

The emperor was wronged, "I didn't say anything!"

"She was with you before she fainted. If you weren't angry with her, who else could it be?"

The emperor sighed, "I'm really not angry. Niu Hulu's family wanted to send Concubine Xian's younger sister into the palace, and Concubine Xian was a little excited when she heard about it."

Qiqige said unreasonably: "Look at you, and say you didn't get dizzy!"

The emperor couldn't tell, he could only sigh and shake his head. "Emperor Niang, you are becoming more and more biased. It is said that a mother-in-law will bully her daughter-in-law, why do you always bully me?"

Qiqige didn't answer, so what if she was eccentric, where can I find a talented and obedient coolie like Niu Hulu, of course she would be eccentric!

"I'm doing it for your own good! You're a grown-up, what are you doing with so many little wives!"

The emperor listened helplessly to Qiqige's reprimand, "Yes! What the emperor's mother said is absolutely right, I will pay less for my concubine. After a while, I will deliver an order to let Niu Hulu's family get married on their own."

"It's almost there."

The maid who had been guarding Concubine Xian came out from the room, she saluted with a smile, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Your Majesty is awake."

The emperor and Qiqige hurried in to visit. The emperor was about to hold Niu Hulu's hand and say a few tender words, but Qiqige pushed him aside like a slippery fish.

"Good boy, is there any discomfort?"

Concubine Xian stood up while shaking her head, "Thank you Queen Mother for your concern, this concubine is a little dizzy, everything else is fine."

Just as the emperor was about to tell her the good news of her pregnancy, Qi Qige took another step ahead.

Qiqige pressed Niu Hulu's shoulders to make her lie down, "Good boy, you are pregnant, not sick. The imperial doctor told you to rest well, so don't get up."

Niu Hulu was stunned. A few years ago she was anxious to conceive but couldn't. Now she didn't want to conceive and have a child, but the child was found by herself.

The emperor wanted to comfort him, but Qiqige preempted him.

"You have a good rest recently, you don't have to go to teach anymore, just come to me if you need anything."

Niu Hulu said with a smile: "Thank you, Queen Mother, you will not be polite when you say that about concubines."

Qiqige smiled and said, "Okay, take a good rest! We're going back, so we won't disturb your rest."

Qiqige tugged at the emperor's sleeve, "Let's go!"

Emperor: Why go! I didn't say anything!

In a hurry, the emperor left a word, saying that the next time he came to see Concubine Xian, he would be dragged away.

The emperor remembered what Qiqige said when he was a child, the person who intervenes between lovers without winking is called the big lantern string.

When the emperor and Qiqige separated, he muttered, "Mother Huang Er, you have changed, you are now a big lantern string!"

After finishing speaking, the emperor Diandian ran away, leaving Qiqige to think alone.What does this big string of lanterns mean?Said that my kindness has illuminated others?

Niu Hulu's pregnancy brought a little bit of turmoil to the palace, and the thoughts of the concubines were very simple, just one word - sour.Especially Concubine Tong, who didn't want to conceive, but she became pregnant. She prayed to God and worshiped Buddha every day, and there was no movement at all.

Hesheli's mood is also very complicated. After being plastic sisters for so many years, she and Niu Hulu still have a little real affection.She was happy for Niu Hulu, but also a little sad. She gave birth to Yinfeng and never got pregnant again.Maybe it was because I hurt my body when I gave birth to Yinfeng, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to conceive in the future.

The confidante around the queen was also worried for her.

"Your Majesty, it's fine for the other concubines to give birth to elder brothers. Their mother clan has no power, so there is nothing to be afraid of. But the Niu Hulu family..."

The queen sighed: "Mama is confused, you will know when you read the history books. When the princes grow up, who doesn't think about it. If the mother's family is not strong enough, it depends on the wife's family, and if the wife's family is not strong enough, it will win over the ministers of the court. The emperor is still young, and he does not know how many children he will have in the future. Although the power of the harem is in my hands, the eyes of the emperor are everywhere in the palace. What can I do, can I stop it?"

The nanny sighed: "Your Majesty is very true, but Niu Hulu is different from others."

"I know Niu Hulu's character. She has a pure heart and will not get involved in those messy things. Besides, the single-plank bridge is difficult to walk. Yinfeng can't be too lonely, he can't be without help. Tong Jia's family is trusted by the emperor. The limelight is strong, and they are the most dreadful."

Mrs. Hesheli lowered her head and thought for a while, "Go and prepare a generous gift to congratulate Concubine Xian on her pregnancy. Let Mrs. Niu Hulu give birth! Who knows whether the baby will be a boy or a girl."

Everyone in the palace gave gifts to Niu Hulu. She collected a bunch of gifts and basically sent them to the warehouse.Her natal family never mentioned the matter of sending their daughter to the palace again, and all the young and old in the family prayed to God and Buddha in the hope that she would give birth to an elder brother.

They had some secret expectations in their hearts, it would be even better if the little elder brother in Concubine Xian's belly could inherit the throne in the future.Just look at Tong Jia's family. He used to be an ordinary family, but now he is highly valued.

Niu Hulu didn't know that her family still had such delusions. She panicked for a while when she first found out that she was pregnant, and it took several days to recover.Now that the child is here, take good care of it, and don't let the child come to the world for nothing.

Niu Hulu's business started to rest, and Qiqige was a little too busy here.

After thinking about it, Qiqige thought that a coolie should be brought over.All the concubines who can teach have been taken to the school by Qi Qige, so they can only be selected from the emperor's harem.

The emperor has the same virtue as his father, and he likes women who can read and write. Even if the young concubines in the harem were illiterate when they entered the palace, they can at least learn to read and write Manchu.But when it comes to cultural level, one has to be a concubine from a big family.

The queen is naturally talented and learned, but she has no time to manage the harem, and the second is Concubine Tong.

Qiqige wanted to trick Concubine Tong into teaching, but Niu Hulu said that she had invited Concubine Tong, but Concubine Tong was unwilling.

Qiqige doesn't want to force others to make things difficult for her. It's not her style to take things by force, she's not that kind of person!But she can falsely advertise!

Concubine Tong brought her fourth elder brother to the princess school to play again this day, and Qi Qige asked the nanny to play with the baby while she chatted with Concubine Tong and drank tea.

Qiqige smiled and said: "The palace is so lively now! Mrs. Wu Ya is about to give birth, and Mrs. Dai Jia will give birth in two or three months, and now Concubine Xian is also pregnant. After the chaos in San Francisco subsided, the palace A thriving population is a good omen!"

After saying this, Qiqige's teeth were sore.This is too much like the words of an ignorant old woman.

Concubine Tong echoed a few words to save face, but her heart was as bitter as Coptis chinensis.She just wanted to have a baby, but she wasn't among the pregnant people. She was so sore in her heart that she wanted to cry in the dead of night.

Qiqige said casually: "It's strange to say this, Concubine Xian has been in the palace for more than ten years! She hasn't moved before, but now she is pregnant all of a sudden."

She took a sip of tea, "I heard that where there are many children, women are more likely to get pregnant. It's like a couple who have never had children. They adopt one first, and they can get pregnant soon."

Qiqige looked at Tong Jiashi with a smile, she was no longer a hint, it was almost an explicit statement.

Concubine Tong is not stupid at all, of course she understands what Qiqige said.

Qiqige didn't dare to go too far in false propaganda, she smiled back to make amends, "The school is full of girls, but I don't know whether to recruit daughters or sons."

Concubine Tong didn't give Qiqige an answer immediately, so she went back and thought about it first.

Concubine Tong was overjoyed when she adopted the fourth elder brother. They said that adopting a child would make it easy to conceive her own child, but her stomach has never moved. Of course she wants to give birth to a prince, but according to the current situation, she can give birth to a princess. That's pretty good.

Concubine Tong went back and thought about it all night, and decided to go to the school to teach the princess how to read.

Qiqige was afraid that she would go back on her word, so she specially wrote a contract, which stated Concubine Tong's salary and benefits, vacation time, and the most important thing was that she was not allowed to resign at will.

The contract was a bit overbearing, but Concubine Tong still signed it.

On the first day of class for the children, Concubine Tong took a simple test to see how well the students were doing.

When the test paper was returned, Concubine Tong was so angry that the eldest princess fell on her back.

The big princess is well written, and the scroll is neat, but what is written on the scroll is messed up.

The poem is written silently, and the eldest princess wrote it like this: the tide of the spring river connects to the sea level, and the noise is like whispering.

This poem was changed by the eldest princess, so it can't be patched like this!
