[Qing Chuan] I became the queen mother after salted fish

For some time after that, the South No. [-] Institute was much quieter, Fujin was busy raising the fetus, Sining was busy raising the child, and Shen Jiashi was racking his brains to please Yongyan.

But Yongyan has always been indifferent to Shen Jiashi, only going there two or three times a month, the rest of the time, most of them are here in Sining, and even Fujin's place is less.

Si Ning noticed the subtlety of this a little bit, but after all it was not something she should worry about, so Si Ning just pretended not to know.

Waiting until the first lunar month came out, the imperial court opened the seal, and Yong Yan began to plan for Si Ning to be granted a seal.

He wrote the notebook the first day, and went to the Xitara's courtyard the next day to tell her about it.

When he came, Xi Tara was drinking medicine, he was quite happy to see Yongyan coming, so he stopped drinking the medicine and welcomed him in personally.

Yong Yan frowned: "You are pregnant, so you don't need to be so polite."

Shi Tara only thought that Yong Yan cared about him, and smiled with his lips pursed: "I'm fine these few days."

Seeing what she said, Yong Yan didn't want to say any more, so he just nodded: "That's good."

When the two sat down, Aunt Yuqiu brought up the unfinished medicine: "Fu Jin, it's time to drink the medicine."

Xi Tara's complexion turned bitter. She had been drinking this medicine for the past few days, and her appetite had been ruined, but this medicine still had to be taken, as it was related to her life.

Sitara pinched his nose and drank the remaining medicine, and then a wave of nausea surged up, Sitara hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, turned sideways, for fear that Yongyan would see him the embarrassment.

Aunt Yuqiu also hurried forward at this time, took a candied fruit with a small clip, and said in a low voice: "Fu Jin, press it."

Sitara quickly put the candied fruit into his mouth, the sweet and sour taste with the taste of fruit suppressed the churning in his stomach at once.

Yongyan watched from the side, his brows furrowed deeper: "If you feel uncomfortable, just ask the imperial doctor to come and have a look, don't delay."

Sitara forced a smile: "There is nothing serious about the concubine, it's the same for pregnant people."

Thinking that this was often the case during Si Ning's pregnancy, Yong Yan nodded without thinking too much.

"That's good."

After this little episode, Yong Yan didn't want to stimulate Sitara too much, and after some consideration, he said: "Liu Jia's giving birth to Xiao Gege this time can be regarded as a meritorious service, I think it's okay It's not good for her to live in the supporting hall all the time, and I think it's okay to pay Fujin the side, what does Fujin think?"

Hearing these words, Sitara's blood turned cold.

Although Yongyan said it politely, but she was clear in her mind, she was asking her rather than informing her that he actually wanted to give Liu Jiashi the position of Fujin!

Sitara couldn't say a word for a while, Lord Fifteen, how much does he like Liu Jiashi!

A woman with such an identity actually wants to give her the position of Fujin!

Yongyan looked at Sitara's pale complexion, and his expression sank. It was just a side position of Fujin, which could actually change Fujin's complexion, which shows how kind Fujin is.

Aunt Yuqiu also sensed something was wrong, and hastily and calmly tugged on Sitara's sleeve.

Only then did Sitara come back to her senses, she looked at Yong Yan who was sitting across from him, his scrutinizing eyes made her extremely annoyed, is he dissatisfied with herself?

But wasn't he the one who broke the rules first?

Sitara felt very uncomfortable. With Liu Jia's background and status, she is not qualified to be a side Fujin!

But in front of Yongyan, she couldn't say that, so she could only forcefully smile and said: "Liu Jia's meritorious service in childbearing, logically speaking, a side Fujin position is not out of the ordinary, but her family background is ordinary, after all It's a bit worse, and it's inevitable that people will talk about it."

Yong Yan raised his eyebrows: "Fu Jin doesn't need to worry about this matter, Liu Jia's Ama is also considered seasoned, I was thinking of finding him an errand, so it's not too bad."

Hearing these words, Mrs. Sitara almost rubbed the veil to pieces. He even thought about finding a job for Ama of Mrs. Liu Jia, and he was very thoughtful, but did he ever think that in this matter, his own What kind of situation are you in.

Xi Tara's eyes were almost red, but fortunately, Aunt Yuqiu who was in front of her patted her on the back lightly, so she could bear the breath and forced a smile on her face: "Mr. appropriate."

Yong Yan nodded in satisfaction, regardless of whether Sitara's words were true or false, he stood up: "In that case, Fujin should take a good rest, I still have some things to do, so I'll leave first."

Sitara almost held her breath, and sent Yongyan out the door, and when she saw Yongyan's back disappear, she became as if she had lost all strength.

Fortunately, Aunt Yuqiu was in front of her, and she hurriedly supported Sitara. She looked anxious: "Fu Jin, are you okay?"

Xi Tara leaned on Aunt Yuqiu, with a smile and tears on her face: "Auntie, what do you mean when you say that I am a Fujin? Lord Fifteen has never taken me seriously."

Aunt Yuqiu also felt sad when she heard this, she put her arms around Fujin and said: "Fujin, things in this world are always unsatisfactory, you have status and status, and now you are pregnant, I don't know how many people you have passed For the rest, since you can’t force it, then let’s take it easy, it’s also good for you.”

Sitara just shed tears and didn't answer.

Aunt Yuqiu gritted her teeth, and then whispered in Sitara's ear: "Besides, Fujin, I think Liu Gege is actually good for you if you don't have Liu Gege today. Wouldn't it be worse to have a distinguished status as a side Fujin? Now that Liu Gege occupies a side Fujin's seat, there will be one less person to enter the door in the future."

Shi Tara listened to these words, was slightly taken aback, and finally nodded: "Auntie said the same."

Seeing that Mrs. Sitara finally came back to her senses, Aunt Yuqiu also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly helped him in, and hurriedly asked Begonia and Wintersweet to fetch water and make tea.

While cleansing Sitara's face, she comforted her: "Fu Jin, the most important thing for you now is to give birth to an heir safely. As for other things, you must not worry about it anymore, otherwise if this child does not go well, So what's the use of worrying so much?"

Hearing this, Xi Tara felt that it made sense, but he hated Liu Jia's viciousness and Yongyan's ruthlessness in his heart.

She was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Don't worry, aunt, I have written down what you said, and I will be fine in the future, and I can't let these people see jokes."

Aunt Yuqiu sighed, it's actually very good to think so, and she can't be too demanding.

……

Yongyan handed over the notebook the next day, and when he told Sining about this, although Sining was happy, she was also worried, for fear that Qianlong would not agree.

Yongyan saw her worry, and told her about finding a job for her, Ama.

"I thought that you, Ama, have been Baitang Ah for many years, and you are considered honest and prudent, so I recommended him to be the head of the Ministry of Industry, so that you can look better."

Si Ning was a little moved when he heard this, but also a little worried, and said softly: "It's really hard for me to repay my kindness, but I don't know if Ama will live up to my expectations."

Yongyan smiled: "Don't worry, I will find him two staff members to help him manage the board, and you, Ama, used to work in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and there is no one better than you here. He knows better."

Only then did Si Ning heave a sigh of relief, she didn't quite understand these things, so if Yong Yan said yes, then it should be fine.

……

On the second day after Yongyan's request for a seal was delivered, Qianlong asked him to go and question him.

When Yongyan passed by, he was still a little apprehensive. On the way, he stuffed a purse for the eunuch who came to pass the message, and asked about Qianlong's mood. He was a little relieved when he heard the little eunuch say that Qianlong was in a normal mood.

When Yongyan arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he waited outside for a while, and then he was passed in. As soon as he entered, he saw Qianlong sitting on the big kang by the window reading the scriptures. Seeing him coming in, he put the scriptures in his hand down.

Yongyan hurried up to salute, Qianlong waved his hand: "Get up, sit down."

As soon as the words fell, a little eunuch brought a stool over, and Yong Yan sat down carefully.

Qianlong picked up the booklet written by Yongyan before, and looked at him: "You want to give Liu Jiashi a side Fujin? What do you think?"

When Yongyan came, he had already thought out his speech, so he didn't stutter at this time, organized his words a little and said: "Liu Jia has made great achievements in childbirth, and he has served well in these years, even if it is Mianyi's On the surface, Erchen wanted to give her some face."

"Mianyi..." Qianlong pondered for a moment: "He is indeed a smart child, and he is your eldest son. There is nothing wrong with your thinking like this."

Yong Yan felt a little relieved when he heard this, but his face remained unchanged.

"It's just..." Qianlong put down the booklet in his hand: "Whether her status is too low? I have been thinking about it. When the next draft, I will point you to a Manchu noble girl to be a side Fujin. Liu Jia's background is in the end." It's worse."

Yongyan was overwhelmed by Qianlong's words.

Huang Ama can think of pointing him to a noble-born side Fujin, which means that he is valued by him, but now he can give up asking Liu Jia's for this illusory side-born Fujin?

No one knows what Yongyan is thinking at this moment, and no one knows how much struggle Yongyan has experienced in his heart at this moment.

In the next moment, Yongyan stood up and bowed to Qianlong: "The Emperor Ama is so kind, my son shouldn't have resigned, but Liu Jia's family background is low, but he also has the merit of giving birth. There is only one child under Mianyi's knees, so he must give his biological mother some dignity."

After Qianlong heard this, he couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied. He just smiled slightly and said softly: "Since you think so, then give her some dignity. I like that child Mianyi very much. It's time, come and show me."

Yongyan heaved a sigh of relief, and hastily bowed in response.

Afterwards, the father and son talked about some things about studying. Qianlong looked very satisfied on his face, and after reminding him a few words, he asked Yongyan to go back.

Yongyan walked out of the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and felt that his back was covered in cold sweat. He thought about what Qianlong said to him today, feeling that he didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, and Qianlong didn't treat him badly either. Feeling dissatisfied, my heart felt a little more at ease, and I walked slowly towards the Nansan Institute.

……

When Yong Yan came to Si Ning this night, he told Si Ning about the success of the invitation.

Si Ning was naturally happy when she heard this, and thanked Yong Yan once more. Yong Yan smiled and asked her to get up, and said softly: "Although Huang Ama has experienced this before, it may take some time until the Ministry of Rites enters the register. , I will wrong you first during this time."

Si Ning said with a smile: "The imperial court has its own laws and regulations, how can I feel wronged by myself."

Hearing this, Yong Yan felt a little softer in his heart, she was always so understanding.

This night Yong Yan stayed with Si Ning, and the next morning, Si Ning personally helped Yong Yan dress and wash, and then sent him out of the house, so it was reciprocal.

Naturally, Yong Yan also enjoyed Si Ning's tricks, and always had a smile on his face when he went out.

And Sining returned to the house, Qingjin and Qingdai came up to congratulate Sining: "Congratulations Gege."

Si Ning was happy in his heart, but he also put on a serious look on his face: "The decree of the canonization has not yet come down, you just need to know it, don't spread it to the outside world, you don't have to be frivolous."

Qing Dai said with a smile: "Master Fifteen has already told you, it's not a sure thing."

Qing Jin shot her a look: "Just listen to Gege's words. I don't know how many eyes are staring inside and out now. Let's be happy in the room. If it's too public, I'm afraid the fifteenth master won't like it." .”

Si Ning nodded with a smile: "That's exactly the truth."

During this period of time, Si Ning has also figured out Yong Yan's temper. On the surface, he respects the rules, but inside he doesn't always follow the rules. He likes gentle and careless women, but if you act a little coquettish from time to time, he will be very angry. It works, but it won't work if it's too frivolous.

What's more, he is very rich, and you can't tell from his appearance whether he likes a person or not. Sometimes, if you are not careful, you will fall out of favor without knowing why.

Just like the current Fujin, if Sining hadn't been paying attention to his emotions and movements all the time, it would be difficult to detect his alienation from Fujin.

So Si Ning has always avoided being rejected by him, simply because Si Ning himself is a very Buddhist person, and under normal circumstances he will not touch Yong Yan's minefield, but he still needs to restrain his subordinates more.

After all, she is already very respectable in the head office now, there are not many servants chasing flattery, and it is not unusual for the people in front of her to drift away.

Fortunately, Qingdai is also a smart person, after hearing this, she smiled and said: "How could this servant not know Gege's intentions, don't worry, this servant will never cause trouble for Gege."

……

The masters and servants in the apse were happy, but the Sitara family in the Xiefang Hall felt a bit miserable.

It's been a month since Er Niang sent me the prescription. Today, Doctor Luo came to ask for pulse again.

"Fu Jin's body is better than before, but the fetus in the womb is still a little weak."

Xi Tara's expression darkened. After drinking the medicine for so long, this child is still so weak?So what if you can't keep it?

Mrs. Sitara glanced at Aunt Yuqiu, and Aunt Yuqiu nodded slightly. Mrs. Sitara thought about the plan discussed by the two before, and said in a deep voice: "The imperial physician should also know that this child came reluctantly. , it's normal to be weak, if the imperial physician has any prescription, just prescribe it."

Fifteen Fujin's words had a lot of connotations, Doctor Luo groped for a long time, and then he groped for a hint of meaning.

But he was complaining in his heart. He knew that Fujin was afraid of being killed by the child and wanted to take care of the babysitter. It's gone, and I don't know how the fifteenth master will explain it.

Imperial Physician Luo suddenly felt in a dilemma, and after a long time he said: "Fu Jin, how difficult is this pregnancy, why don't I explain it to Lord Fifteen?"

Fujin frowned and looked at Aunt Yuqiu.

Aunt Yuqiu was also in a bit of a dilemma. For the Sitala family, it was naturally the best thing to keep this baby, but for Wang Jiashi, the most important thing was Fujin.

Although Aunt Yuqiu was sent to the palace by the Sitala family, it was Wang Jiashi who was kind to her.

Now that she has come to this point, she wants to repay Wang Jiashi, but she also has to consider the meaning of the Sitara family.

Aunt Yuqiu pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Physician Luo may hint at one or two things, and if the pregnancy is really lost in the future, then it won't be too sudden."

It's best to keep this baby, but if it really can't be done, then Fujin can only be kept first. This is Aunt Yuqiu's decision based on balance.

Doctor Luo was still in a dilemma, but now that he had an idea, he could only accept it with a bitter face.

……

Yong Yan was a little surprised when he heard Doctor Luo asking for an interview, but he quickly guessed his reason for coming.

He was annoyed in his heart, but kept his expression on his face, and someone passed doctor Luo to come in.

Doctor Luo was still a little guilty, he didn't dare to look at Yongyan's face when he entered the door, and tremblingly said that Fujin's fetal image was a little unstable.

After finishing speaking, Yongyan remained silent for a long time, the room could hear the sound of needles being dropped, and Doctor Luo broke out in a cold sweat, almost unable to stretch himself.

At this moment, Yongyan finally opened his mouth: "The fetal image is weak, so take care of it carefully. You have been checking Fujin's pulse, and you should also know that Fujin lost a child before and was so sad. You must keep this baby, otherwise I will give birth to you." I will settle accounts with you!"

Physician Luo is about to cry, why both sides find themselves venting their anger!

But can he not agree to Master Fifteen's words?He could only kowtow tremblingly: "I am guilty, I will try my best to preserve the fetus."

Yongyan sneered at a place that Doctor Luo couldn't see, then waved his hand casually: "Since you know, let's go down."

Physician Luo didn't dare to raise his head, and hurriedly retreated.

Yongyan was sitting in the room, emotionally turbulent in his heart, there must be something wrong with Fujin's pregnancy, doctor Luo came to him in advance to lay the groundwork, it seems that this pregnancy is really not good.

Thinking of this, Yong Yan's eyes darkened, this is his heir, but in the end it became a tool in Fujin's hands, used to fight for power and profit in the back house.

He asked himself that he had never treated Fujin badly, but he didn't know why she treated him like this?

Could it be that there is no love between husband and wife at all?

Yongyan couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, but his dislike for Fujin was getting deeper and deeper.

He must keep this child, and he can't let this child become a victim of Fujin's ambition.

Thinking of this, Yongyan called Eroli to come in.

When E Luoli came in, he glanced at Yongyan's face, and after just one glance, he lowered his head, screaming in his heart, not knowing what that doctor Luo said, he was so angry.

After all, E Luoli has been with Yongyan for a long time, and knows Yongyan's emotional changes best.

Yongyan didn't pay any attention to E Luoli's thoughts, and said indifferently: "From tomorrow onwards, ask Imperial Physician Zheng to come to Nansan San Institute every three days to ask for Fujin's pulse. I'm afraid I can't take good care of Fujin."

E Luoli's heart trembled, and he hurriedly responded in a low voice, but he was thinking in his heart, he didn't know what Fujin did this time, and he would have a sad life in the future.

……

Sitara soon found out about Yongyan changing the imperial physician for himself.

She was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and she looked at Aunt Yuqiu with a panicked face: "Auntie, do you think Master knows something?"

Aunt Yuqiu was also frowning at this time. She really didn't expect Lord Fifteen to do this. He obviously didn't believe in Imperial Physician Luo, and he didn't believe in Imperial Physician Luo, which implied a deeper meaning, that is I don't believe Fujin anymore.

Aunt Yuqiu felt like a storm in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, for fear of frightening Sitara and complicating the matter.

She could only hold back her expression, and replied: "It's also the master who cares about your body. It's a secret, and the fifteenth master will not know."

Sitara was not comforted. At this time, she was already like a frightened bird, holding Aunt Yuqiu's hand and saying: "What if he knows? I'm afraid, I'm really afraid of him..."

Sitara couldn't tell what she was afraid of, but she was very panicked.

Aunt Yuqiu sighed: "Fu Jin, Lord Fifteen knows it, and you are thinking of the royal heirs, so what's wrong with you? As long as you can keep this child, you will be invincible in the future , so, you must not panic now, you must be steady, cultivate your body well, and keep your child as the top priority."

Now there is no room for manipulation at all. Aunt Yuqiu can only use these words to comfort Sitara. As for whether the fifteenth master will really pursue it, Yuqiu herself is not sure.

Under Aunt Yuqiu's comfort, Sitara finally stabilized her emotions, drank a bowl of anti-fetal medicine, and fell into a deep sleep.

However, Aunt Yuqiu took this opportunity to call Haitang and Lamei out, and asked Fujin everything related to Lord Fifteen after she became pregnant, from beginning to end.

When she heard that Imperial Physician Wang had come to give Fujin a pulse check, Aunt Yuqiu's heart sank.

Combined with the recent relationship between Lord Fifteen and Fujin, Aunt Yuqiu no longer had any luck in her heart. She knew that Lord Fifteen might really know.

Aunt Yuqiu couldn't help gritting her teeth. If she had known the news earlier, she would not have made such a foolish move. Now they have fallen into a great passivity. Maybe the fifteenth master has already convicted Fujin in his heart. This crime Once it is settled, it will be too difficult to turn around, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, especially the heart of a prince, which is even more unpredictable.

Aunt Yuqiu only felt a bit of a headache. It seemed that this baby would have to be born now, otherwise Fujin would survive in the future, and life would be worse than death in this back house.

Aunt Yuqiu gritted her teeth, and after much deliberation, she decided to go to the House of Internal Affairs. She had to send a message to the wife who was outside, and maybe there would be another way for the wife.

……

From this day on, Fujin has completely started to live in seclusion. Apart from raising a baby, he seldom goes out every day, and even cancels the daily greetings of several concubines.

Si Ning is a bit strange, in the past, Fujin has never been so cautious, but this child is more careful, could it be an elder brother?

She also couldn't figure out what Fujin was thinking, she was also very busy these days, as the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the fact that she was going to be promoted to Fujin still leaked out.

It's not that the people in their courtyard are talking too much, but that the House of Internal Affairs wants to make side Fujin's crown clothes, and the news spreads that Liu Gege from the [-]th elder brother's courtyard wants to invite side Fujin.

Now it's very lively, within a day, everyone from the top to bottom of the South Third Institute knew about it, not to mention that the people at the bottom became more and more fawning, even Shen Jia, who was at the opposite door, also started to visit every day .

The elder sister is long and the elder sister is short. They are called Si Ning, and I am a little embarrassed, and every time I come here, I will bring some snacks, but they still have an appetite for Si Ning, so the two of them have become close in a day or two. .

Si Ning knew that most of her thoughts were utilitarian, but she was a bit lonely in the harem by herself, and it would be nice to have someone who could talk, so although she was also on guard against Shen Jiashi, the two of them could still get along. Say a few words.

Shen Jiashi is a very shrewd person, very good at talking and flattering, he can make you happy without making a show.

She is also very skillful, and she often makes some needlework for Mianyi. Sining thinks it is much more beautiful than what she made herself. If she reciprocates, she will also send some things to Shen Jiashi. The two can be regarded as having a relationship. .

Time passed day by day like this, until April, when Qianlong wanted to go to the garden to escape the summer heat, Yongyan naturally also went, and the people in their back house naturally also went together.

Si Ning was very happy, this was the first time she went to the garden, and she could finally see what the Yuanmingyuan, which was hailed as the garden of ten thousand gardens by later generations, looked like.
