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

Sining mother and son didn't pay attention to this matter, they continued to say some common things, Sining left Mianyi to have a meal in the palace, and Mianyi then left.

Si Ning personally sent her son out, looked at his back, and sighed in her heart, she always felt that her son seemed to be a little more mature than before when he went out this time, and he acted a lot more prudently.

But this is a good thing, a smile appeared on Si Ning's face.

……

Eldest brother returned to the palace, this incident also caused some disturbances in other palaces, for example, the empress was very concerned, and she felt a little uncomfortable when she heard that elder brother went to the imperial concubine's palace to pay his respects as soon as he came back.

Eldest brother is capable, and he is outstanding in reading, riding and shooting, but more importantly, he is filial and has a close relationship with the imperial concubine. As for his injustice, he knows how to play all day long, and even if he is called over, he can't be called , Sometimes I am so angry that my brain hurts.

Thinking of this, the queen sighed: "I'm afraid that big brother's position in the court will be more stable when he comes back this time."

Liu Xu, who came in to report to the queen, did not speak.

The queen didn't expect her to speak, but said indifferently: "Okay, that's it, you go to the fourth elder brother's courtyard to see him for me later, don't tell him to mess around."

Liu Xu respectfully agreed.

……

A few days after Mianyi came back, Jiaqing took the whole palace to the Old Summer Palace.

It seems that he stayed in the Forbidden City for so long this time just to wait for Mianyi.

Many people thought so, so they realized more and more the importance of Mianyi in front of Jiaqing.

But less than a month after they went to the Old Summer Palace, news came from Rubi that Rubi was pregnant.

This news seemed to have dropped a bomb in the peaceful deep palace, not only made the concubine look sideways, Jiaqing was also happy as if he had looked younger by several years.

You must know that he has just passed his 50th birthday, and at such an advanced age, he does not have the same expectations for his heirs as before, but he did not expect Rupin to be happy, so Jiaqing naturally felt excited.

For a moment, it was like a concubine's palace full of flowers, Jiaqing gave a generous reward, and the concubines flattered her. Si Ning and the queen also followed Jiaqing to give the reward.

Rupin herself was also weeping with joy. She originally thought that after the last time, it would be very difficult for her to have another child. After all, the emperor is at this age, but she did not expect to be pregnant by accidentally planting willows and willows.

Therefore, Rupin unconsciously had a lot of expectations in her heart. She really hoped that her child would be an elder brother, so that regardless of her future future, she herself would not have to bear the pain of her daughter's fondling.

After this, Rupin has kept a low profile a lot. The reason why she was high profile before was because she was fearless, but now that she has a child, there are many obstacles and obstacles, and she no longer dares to be as unscrupulous as before. She became that gentle and quiet woman who had just entered the palace, except for paying her respects in the queen's palace every day, she just stayed in her own room.

Seeing her acting like this, the queen sneered in her heart, she knew she was afraid now, but she didn't know why she was so arrogant before.

At the same time, the queen also secretly hated her for making her pregnant again, which made her more dependent in the future. If this baby can be delivered smoothly, then when facing her, I am afraid that I will have to restrain myself .

At this time, the queen had thousands of thoughts in her mind, but in the end she suppressed them.

Now she can't act indiscriminately because of personal grievances, she has to calm down, even if Rupin's baby is an elder brother, her future is limited, why should she dirty her hands because of these things?

If the emperor accidentally noticed it, it would be the end of both himself and Mian Kai.

Just put up with her this time first, the queen made a secret decision in her heart.

……

Sining didn't know these two people's thoughts. When she found out that Rupin was pregnant, she was just a little surprised. After all, Jiaqing was almost among the ranks of middle-aged and elderly people in modern times and ancient times. Having children is indeed quite miraculous.

But since she has it, it has nothing to do with her. Si Ning got someone to give her a gift, so she doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

It's just that when I greeted the queen the next day, I saw Rupin again, and found that she seemed to be much gentler than before, her words were not so aggressive, and she even smiled at the queen.

It is indeed somewhat miraculous.

Si Ning thought to herself.

……

Apart from these thoughts, Rupin's pregnancy is not safe, and since the beginning of summer, she has been very sick every day.

It was worse than her last pregnancy, and the imperial physicians were helpless, and finally found an old nanny who was familiar with childbirth to serve her, and Rubi could barely eat a few mouthfuls of food.

Rupin was worried, she was afraid that she would hurt her children, and she was afraid that she would be harmed by others, so she managed her yard like an iron bucket, and she didn't even have much contact with the nobles who were a little closer to her before.

Seeing Rupin's appearance, Si Ning felt that she was still a little unfounded. With the queen's mind, at this time, she probably wouldn't deliberately pull out her hands to deal with her. After all, the most important thing now is not the harem's favor, but It is a battle for the reserve position, and the queen will not take any action lightly even for the sake of the fourth elder brother.

But it's hard for Si Ning to tell Rubi these words, after all, the two of them don't have any friendship, if you say it, people might think you're going to harm her, so it's better not to get involved.

Time passed little by little, and Rubi's nausea symptoms began to gradually ease, and Rubi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Concubine Zhuang suddenly fell ill.

Concubine Zhuang can be regarded as a favored concubine in the palace. She has a good personality, and basically anyone who has met her will have a good impression of her.

This time she was suddenly ill, so naturally many people went to visit her.

Si Ning also went with her, when she went, Concubine Zhuang was leaning against the bed talking to someone, and it was Concubine Xin who was talking to her.

Ever since Lady Yun disappeared, Concubine Xin has been on good terms with Concubine Zhuang. She has experienced so many ups and downs in the palace, and she has completely eliminated the frivolity and ambition when she first entered the palace. Among them, being successfully promoted to concubine by a nobleman can be regarded as a limelight among concubines.

Now she didn't bother to study Sining's clothes anymore, she looked at Concubine Zhuang with a trace of worry in her eyes, seeing Sining coming in, she stood up and saluted Sining awkwardly.

Because of those past events, the two of them felt a little awkward getting along with each other, and it was not good for Concubine Xin to stay in the house, so she said goodbye and left on the pretext that she wanted to go out to look at the medicine on the stove.

Si Ning naturally didn't keep her. Although she didn't pay much attention to the previous things, she didn't know Concubine Xin very well, so they didn't have much to say when they sat together.

When Concubine Xin went out, Concubine Zhuang smiled at Si Ning and said, "Your Majesty, please sit down, this concubine is not feeling well, so I cannot greet Your Majesty."

Si Ning sighed and sat down, she carefully looked at Concubine Zhuang, her complexion was very bad, a little pale, and there was a little less anger in her eyes, she seemed to be extremely weak.

She asked in a gentle voice: "Don't say anything, please be well. It's the business after you take care of your body. How have you been doing in the past few days? What did the imperial doctor say?"

Concubine Zhuang smiled, and said softly: "Everything is fine, the imperial doctor said that it is enough to take care of me, your empress doesn't have to worry about me."

Looking at her like this, Si Ning knew that this was not true, but the relationship between them was normal, since she didn't want to talk about it, Si Ning couldn't go any further, so she could only say: "Then take good care of yourself, other things Don't think too much about it."'

Concubine Zhuang pursed her lips and nodded.

The two were relatively speechless for a while, and after a long time, Concubine Zhuang said again: "Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Mulan this year."

Si Ning smiled: "Your riding skills are superb, and the emperor also praised you. If you can't go this year, then go next year. There will always be time."

After Zhuang Concubine heard this, she didn't answer, but just smiled.

Seeing her smile, Si Ning felt a little heavy in her heart, she always had some bad premonition in her heart.

But before she had time to think deeply, Concubine Zhuang said softly: "Your Majesty is really generous and kind."

Si Ning was a little surprised when he heard this, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Why did you mention this for no reason, it makes me feel a little embarrassed."

Concubine Zhuang stared at Si Ning for a long time, then smiled again: "It's nothing, I just hope that a good person like your empress can live a long life."

Although it was a blessing, Si Ning always felt a little uneasy when she heard it. She comforted Zhuang Concubine a few words and told her to drink medicine and nourish her body, and Zhuang Concubine agreed.

Later Si Ning was about to leave, Concubine Zhuang wanted to get out of bed to see her off, but Si Ning finally stopped her, she took Concubine Zhuang's hand and said: "Don't worry about these vain rituals, you will be serious only when you are in good health."

Concubine Zhuang nodded with a smile, watched Si Ning leave the house, and then lay back on the couch.

She was staring at the curtain on the top of the bed, her thoughts were wandering, she could feel that her illness this time was not as simple as others imagined, but she felt that it was just right.

She entered the palace at the age of 14, and it has been 15 years, but she feels as if she has lived her whole life, and she should take a break, take a good rest.

Concubine Zhuang slowly closed her eyes.

……

Si Ning left Concubine Zhuang's residence, only feeling a little heavy in her heart, she always felt that Concubine Zhuang's condition was not simple, but she had reached this point, but she was helpless.

It seems that he can only watch this fresh life gradually wither.

Thinking of this, Si Ning sighed, so what if he entered this palace, even if he enjoyed all the splendor and wealth, he was still a piece of loess in the end.

But Si Ning immediately stopped her world-weary thoughts, she can't think like this, in this life, there are actually many other funs, delicious food, beautiful jewelry, family care, she already has a lot, How can you be so negative.

No matter what, you have to live well. Life is very precious. Even if you end up on the same road in the end, you should live your own style so that you don't come to this world in vain.

Thinking of this, Si Ning's mood suddenly improved a bit, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Concubine Zhuang's residence, she suddenly felt that maybe the concubine Zhuang who looked happy and cheerful in the past was not as happy as she showed .

……

Concubine Zhuang's side has been lingering on the sick bed, but Rubi's side is prosperous and prosperous.

In August, Jiaqing revealed to Si Ning that he wanted to confer the title of concubine Ru concubine.

After hearing his words, Si Ning knew that he was really happy with Rupin's pregnancy this time.

Therefore, faced with Jiaqing's question whether it was a test or an announcement, Si Ning smiled and said: "Now that Ru concubine has an emperor's heir, it is only natural for her to be promoted. The emperor has considered it thoroughly."

Jiaqing saw that Sining was not dissatisfied, and he was also very happy. He told Sining in advance, because he was afraid that Sining would find out later, and he would feel uncomfortable. He wanted to appease her in advance, but she understood what he did. He was naturally happy too.

"Ru concubine was quite submissive in the past, that's why I thought of promoting her. If not, she still needs to settle down."

Si Ning didn't respond to these words, but just pursed her lips and smiled.

The two settled down after dinner, but Sining was thinking about it under the covers. Jiaqing valued Rupin's child so much, so he didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl. If he was an elder brother, would he threaten Mianyi? status?

But this thought just passed by in a flash, Si Ning thinks that this possibility is still very small, even if it is really threatened, it will take Mian Yi to work hard to overcome it, the space she can manipulate is really not very big, and it is impossible for her to Harm Rupin's child.

……

A few days after Jiaqing said this to Si Ning, this news also began to spread in the palace, and I don't know where it came from.

But Si Ning felt that it was probably released by the queen. After all, Rupin was granted the title of Jin, and this could not avoid the empress's hurdle, and the quarrel between the queen and Rupin was well known.

But this matter is a trivial matter, and soon, in September, Jiaqing officially issued a decree, and Jin made Ru concubine Ru concubine.

Concubine Ru has finally been promoted to the position of concubine, she can't help feeling a little angry in her heart.

She was not there when the Six Palaces were sealed off before, and Concubine Ru suffered a lot of gossip because of it. Now that it was hers that finally fell on her head, how could she be unhappy?

Moreover, the behavior of the emperor also shows that he attaches great importance to the child in his womb. She must protect this child well this time, so that she has a foundation in this palace. Can have a sustenance.

Since then, Concubine Ru has lived more and more reclusively, and when she returned to the palace at the end of October, she almost never left the Zhongcui Palace, and she even used Jiaqing's words to avoid the need to go to the queen to pay her respects.

Everyone thought that the queen would be angry because of this, but unexpectedly the queen didn't say anything, and she kindly helped Concubine Ru explain.

"Concubine Ru's pregnancy is difficult, and it's almost winter now. It's really inappropriate to come here to pay her respects. I also agree with this matter. Everything should be the emperor's heir. If you are happy in the future, you will also Follow this example."

The queen's words not only raised her dignity a little bit for herself, but also showed her tolerance, and made it a routine matter of not coming to pay her respects, so it doesn't appear that the concubine Ru is special.

Anyway, Si Ning admires the queen quite a lot. Rufei obviously doesn't take her seriously anymore, but she is still so tolerant, which shows that she still has a view of the overall situation, but sometimes she acts too viciously .

……

Rufei's turmoil passed so lightly. Rufei just sneered when she heard how the queen dealt with this matter. is secondary.

Concubine Ru caressed her chubby belly, according to the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, the child's expected date of delivery is from the first month to the second month, during this period, there are so many things going on in the palace, if she wants to live a peaceful life like this, she can't. It is still necessary to take advantage of the previous period of time to rest and recuperate.

Concubine Ru has been raised until the end of December. At that time, her belly was already big, but because of something in the palace, Concubine Ru still had to come out of Zhongcui Palace and began to participate in the group activities of concubines.

Si Ning finally saw Rufei's pregnancy at a close distance once again, she just felt a little startled, Rufei didn't know how to do it, this pregnancy was obviously a bit overdone, this belly is comparable to when she was pregnant Much more.

Si Ning glanced at the admission grandma behind Rufei again, and felt that she might be thinking too much. With Rufei's current power, she would not be counted against her in these matters, and the admission grandma in front of her must be too. She is very trustworthy, and these grannies are used to doing these things in the palace, so it is impossible not to know this, maybe Rufei's baby was already big.

The queen didn't say anything, she just nodded when she saw Rufei coming, and then continued to talk about things.

Concubine Ru followed the concubines to participate in the following activities, but Jiaqing was still afraid that she would hurt her body, so when she was allowed to kneel down, she put cushions under her legs.

But even so, Rufei's complexion became much uglier after this trip.

After the first day of the first lunar month, Concubine Ru returned to Zhongcui Palace to recuperate, but the queen still didn't say anything, as if she didn't come or not.

In the first month, there are many operas in the palace, plus Jiaqing likes to watch operas, and the theater troupe in the palace even rehearses in different ways. Si Ning didn't like these things at first, but now watching them, I can see a bit interest.

After the fifteenth day, the group of them followed Jiaqing to Yuanmingyuan.

There were even more tricks in the Old Summer Palace, and Jiaqing even asked people to set up a folk market, and held a temple fair in imitation of the folk situation.

This was something that existed in Qianlong, so it is not difficult to get it.

Si Ning went there once, it was her first time participating in an ancient temple fair, it was quite interesting, and she even saw people doing acrobatics.

The second time she went, she brought a few more grandchildren.

Yixuan is now ten years old, a sensible age, so he doesn't run around, and obediently holds his brother's hand to prevent him from running around.

Yixuan's younger brother Yishen is also five years old now, and he is the most restless, struggling to go out to see the clay figurines, but Yixuan pulls him tightly.

Yishen's face flushed red with anger, and he sat down on the ground, wanting to roll and squirm, but Yixuan's look over made Yishen tremble, and he forgot to cry, his little face turned pale. looking at brother.

Yixuan leaned down, lifted Yishen up from the ground, and said softly, "Mama is taking us out to play today, don't mess around."

Yishen nodded aggrieved, but didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

Sining didn't notice the conflict here, she was holding Mianyi's eldest daughter Tana with one hand, and Mianyi's second daughter Yunrou with the other to watch someone draw sugar paintings.

Yunrou is a shy little girl, also pretty, looking at the sugar painting in the hands of the eunuch dressed as a peddler curiously, with anticipation on her face.

Si Ning glanced at her, and then at Tana on the other side. Tana has a brighter personality, much like Mian Yi when she was a child. She doesn't seem to be interested in this thing, and her eyes are all on the little gem-studded dagger.

But Si Ning didn't think of favoring one over another, and said to the sugar painting artist with a smile, "Draw two sugar paintings." After speaking, he looked at the two granddaughters: "What style do you want, tell the boss yourself."

With surprise on his face, Yun Rou thanked Si Ning softly, then looked at the style of the sugar painting very seriously, and then said to the peddler who painted the sugar painting: "I want Chang'e in the Moon Palace."

Tana didn't want this in her heart, but since Mamo wanted to give it to her, she couldn't refute Mamo's face, so she also smiled and said: "I want this second master Guan on horseback!"

The peddler answered yes with a smile, and hurriedly started drawing sugar paintings for the little masters.

Si Ning didn't want to make Tana unhappy, and asked them to choose their favorite from the stall next door. Sure enough, Tana chose the dagger inlaid with gems, while Yunrou chose a beautiful lily hairpin.

After the selection, she blushed and said in a low voice, "Er Niang likes lilies, I'll take them back for Er Niang to wear."

Seeing her cute look, Si Ning touched her forehead with a smile: "When Yunrou grows out her hair, you can wear it yourself."

Yunrou smiled embarrassedly, revealing a few small teeth.

After taking care of her granddaughter, Si Ning did not forget her two elder grandchildren and the little granddaughter who was held in her arms by the wet nurse.

Yishen finally got the clay figurine he was looking for, Yixuan was very restrained and didn't ask for anything, but he was still a child after all, Sining looked at him and his eyes always drifted to the stalls selling Western objects, so he let Qingjin go I brought him the best-decorated telescope on the booth and an exquisite pocket watch, both of which were handcrafted by the Manufacturing Office, not inferior to those brought in by foreigners as tribute, and even more exquisite than those.

She remembered Mian Yi said that Yixuan was very interested in these things.

As for the little Yunzhen who was sleeping soundly in the nurse's arms, she had no choice, so Si Ning picked out a beautifully made collar and put it on her neck.

Tana covered her mouth and smiled: "My sister won't know if she likes this when she wakes up."

Yunrou said softly: "I'm sure I'll like it, it was given by Mama."

Tana made a face at her sister: "If she doesn't like it, I'll give her my sugar painting."

Yun smiled softly.

Yishen on the side heard it, and immediately said loudly: "I'll give her my clay figurine too!" After speaking, he puffed out his small chest.

Si Ning looked at the cute appearance of several grandchildren, smiled and touched each of their heads: "Okay, okay, they are all good children, and Mama likes them all."

After shopping around, the group of them returned to the Changchun Immortal Hall with great vigor.

As a result, as soon as she came back, Qingdai, who was staying in the palace, came to report that Rufei had started giving birth.

Si Ning just nodded when she heard this. Now that she is full of children and grandchildren, how can she care about this, she just said: "Keep an eye on it, if you have any news, remember to tell me in time."

Qing Dai responded respectfully.

……

At this time, Rufei was sweating profusely from the pain, and she was just unlucky. She started to have a stomachache before dawn this morning.

After being carried into the delivery room, the birth canal cannot be opened for a while.

It has been painful for more than an hour now, but the birth canal is still not fully opened.

The imperial doctor said with a pale face, the fetus is a bit big, and this one may not be easy.

Concubine Ru's face also turned pale, but she was a ruthless one, and immediately asked the imperial physician to find a way to give birth no matter what.

The imperial physician did not hesitate, and proposed to give an injection.

Concubine Ru thought it over and over again, and finally agreed.

The imperial doctor gave the acupuncture points to the medical girl who came with her, and the female doctor went in and gave Rufei an injection. Rufei's face turned pale from the pain, but she endured it for the sake of the child.

This imperial physician also has some skills, not long after the injection, the birth canal was completely opened.

Concubine Ru breathed a sigh of relief and continued to give birth.

After struggling for more than an hour, she finally gave birth to a daughter at the end of Si Shi.

Concubine Ru only had time to glance at her daughter before she fell into a coma.

The nurse wrapped the princess up and took it out to the imperial physician. The imperial physician took a pulse, his face was a little dignified, and he said in a low voice: "The princess has been in the mother's womb for a long time, and her body is a little weak."

The nurse's face turned pale, and the concubine's maid who came out with her was also taken aback. Both of them looked at the imperial doctor as if they were saving their lives.

The imperial physician sighed, feeling that this errand was really unlucky.

But at this time, he couldn't take his hands anymore, so he could only prescribe a prescription, let the maid go down to boil the medicine, and told some things that should be paid attention to in taking care of the princess.

Both the nurse and the palace maid wrote down one by one, but their hearts were still heavy. They knew very well that when the concubine Rufei woke up, there might be another disturbance.

And the two of them, I'm afraid they can't escape.
