Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 220: Chronicles of Yongzheng's Harem 18

Yupin shook her head: "Hong Zhou is a very naughty child. I know that the emperor is not happy about this. I heard that my sister is very good at raising children and the Sixth Prince is very well-behaved. I can't help but bother you a little."

Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, finally knowing why she came.

After Yupin finished speaking, the wet nurse came in carrying Hongzhao.

Jiayue took the child and looked at Yupin in amazement: "I didn't expect that my sister could hold the child so skillfully. She really took good care of the child. I am not as good as you."

Jiayue's face was filled with happy worries: "The main reason is that Hongzhao is a clingy child. He cries on weekdays, and he will feel better when he stays with me."

Concubine Yu was stunned. She didn't expect this to be the case. Nowadays, most of the children in the royal family are raised by wet nurses, and the mothers only occasionally ask about it.

However, Yupin quickly reacted and said, "Mother and child are connected by heart. It was not easy for my sister to give birth to the Sixth Prince. The child loves you as his mother! My sister should be happy."

"Yes! You should be happy."

When they started talking about children, the strange atmosphere between them disappeared.

Concubine Yu looked at Hongzhao in Jiayue's arms. He looked smart and like a fairy child, and was indeed very well-behaved.

"Sixth Prince is so lively and clever, he will definitely have a great future."

When Jiayue heard her say this out of the blue, the smile on her face faded: "The emperor's children are naturally lively and clever. My sister's Hong Zhou, I think he will have great potential too!"

Yupin seemed to realize that she had just said something wrong, and hurriedly added: "Born in the royal family, it is a great achievement, it is my sister who is talking nonsense."

Jiayue: "That makes sense, but sister, you didn't come here just to see Hongzhao, did you?"

Yubin's smile faded a little: "I can't hide anything from my sister. I came here today because I have something to ask of you."

"what's up?"

She felt that she and Yubin were not particularly close, at least not close enough to ask for help.

"It's like this. Hong Zhou likes to run around. He happened to run into the Ministry of Internal Affairs delivering something to his sister. He saw the puzzle of the Sixth Prince and wanted one too. When his sister asked, he found out that it was his sister who made it for the Sixth Prince. His sister came here today just to ask him about that puzzle...?"

Jiayue finally breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a toy!

Come to think of it, it’s a big deal.

The jigsaw puzzle was just an ancient version of the falcon structure that she had made some slight changes to based on modern jigsaw puzzle games.

This thing is so difficult.

"That thing is not difficult. The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs should be able to make it. Sister, just ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a set."

"After getting my younger sister's consent, I went back and ordered someone to make it."

It's not difficult to make, but the first person I thought of was Jiayue. Without Jiayue's approval, Yupin couldn't make it privately, otherwise she would be suspected of secretly learning from others.

Yubin got the result she wanted and left soon after.

Jiayue thought she came for the puzzle and sent her away politely.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yu has taken a lot of trouble for the Fifth Prince."

Jiayue smiled and shook her head: "Who knows!"

She couldn't understand Concubine Yu, and there were so many things about the people in the harem that she couldn't understand.

Yinzhen accompanied the imperial concubine for two days and came to Bitong Academy again.

Everyone in the harem finally felt that Jiayue's favor was real.

The imperial concubine was frank and open-minded. When she heard that Yinzhen went to Bitong Academy, she couldn't help but feel anxious and panicked.

"What should I do? The emperor has gone to Bitong Academy again. Do you think the emperor will fall in love with Jingpin and no longer like me?"

Her tone was full of doubt, uncertainty, and fear.

Accustomed to favor, Jiayue suddenly became favored. Although she did not seem to be as favored as before, Yinzhen had never favored other women for several days in a row before.

"Your Highness, the most important thing now is the child. When the Emperor heard that you were not feeling well, he stayed with you for two days. Jingpin was only favored by the Sixth Prince because he was liked by the Sixth Prince. The Emperor's favor to Jingpin was only because of the Sixth Prince. When your child is born, the Emperor's attention will naturally return to you."

The palace maid's consolation was not actually logical, but the imperial concubine was still willing to believe it.

"really?"

"I dare not lie to you, Your Majesty. Jingpin is also an old member of the Qian Palace. If the Emperor liked her, he would not have made her a concubine at first. Even if she gave birth to the Sixth Prince, she would still be a concubine, right?"

The imperial concubine nodded: "You are right."

Jiayue naturally didn't know the imperial concubine's panic about her beginning to gain favor.

Recently she found some fun for herself. Thinking of Hong Zhao, she planned to draw something for Hong Zhao.

Novels were popular in the Qing Dynasty, so she asked someone to find Journey to the West. After seeking Yinzhen's consent, Jiayue began to paint Journey to the West in her spare time.

The reason why she sought Yinzhen's consent was simply because she thought about the literary inquisition in the Qing Dynasty, and she was afraid that someone would use it to attack her.

When Yinzhen came, she accompanied him wholeheartedly. When he didn't come, she took Hongzhao with her and stayed in the study every day, and the mother and son played by themselves.

Because of her favor, the people in the Imperial Household Department are very sensible, and the quality of life in Bitong Academy is even better.

Jiayue felt very comfortable on such a leisurely day.

And so, it was August.

I have been in the Old Summer Palace for three months.

At this time, news came from the palace.

"My lady, Concubine Lin who stayed in the palace had a miscarriage."

After hearing this, Jiayue couldn't help but pause, but she wasn't too surprised. She sighed and said, "It's hard to give birth to a child in this palace, and it's hard to raise one! What's going on?"

"Madam, it is said that Concubine Lin did not know she was pregnant, and she used too much ice, which led to a miscarriage."

"If I remember correctly, Lin Chang has been in this pregnancy for at least three or four months!"

"Your Highness is right. When Concubine Lin miscarried, the imperial physician said the baby was already more than four months pregnant."

"She's been pregnant for more than four months. How could she not know she was pregnant? Besides, her position is just a concubine. It's good enough that the Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't deduct money from her. How could they have so much ice? This excuse is too ridiculous."

"Lin Chang was in this pregnancy. He must have been murdered, but we don't know who did it."

Baochun also felt sad about Lin Changzai's miscarriage, thinking of how difficult it was for Jiayue to keep the baby.

"What do the Emperor and Empress say?"

"The Empress sent people back to the palace and gave many rewards to appease the emperor. The emperor didn't say anything, but I heard from the imperial kitchen that the emperor had a poor appetite and didn't eat much on the day he received the news."

"It seems that the emperor is angry that Concubine Lin concealed her pregnancy."

Yinzhen was a man who cared a lot about the outcome. If Lin Changzai could keep the baby, even if she concealed it, Yinzhen would think that she was doing it for the sake of the child and it was understandable.

He didn't mind the concubines in the harem being resourceful, but he was more wary of someone like Lin Changzai who was so clever.

The means were used, but the expected effect was not achieved.

Baochun nodded: "If Concubine Lin had not concealed the fact that the emperor had few children, it would not have been difficult for her to become a noble lady after learning that she was pregnant. Now, I wonder if the emperor would pity her for not having a child and promote her."

Jiayue didn't say anything, but she had some thoughts in her mind.

Based on her understanding of Yinzhen, she was probably out of luck in getting the position.

But we can't be too sure, there is still a virtuous queen! Maybe the queen will ask for a noble position for Lin Changzai.

"Put away all the brightly colored things recently! The Emperor may not like it, but the child is his after all. The Emperor will not be in a good mood after losing the child. Give orders to the palace servants to stop laughing and playing recently."

"Yes, ma'am."
