Chapter 247 Princess
"Empress Dowager, I personally went to the kitchen to check and found that it was Madam Yang who took the initiative to go there to inquire about the Emperor's preferences."
"The slave who leaked the information is one of our own."
Jianqiu reported with fear.
When she learned that it was one of her own who revealed to Nanny Yang that the emperor loved to drink old duck soup, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the master was wise and placed his own people in Chunxi Palace, stopping Yingpin's reckless actions in time.
"Let the person who leaked the information go and get the board himself."
The Queen Mother gave the order with a serious face while quickly turning the Buddhist beads in her hand.
"Madame Yang, who is by Wanying's side, is unreliable. Please send a capable madame from the palace to her."
"Send someone from Sulan as well."
She had clearly repeatedly instructed her family to select a steady woman to enter the palace, so how could Wanying, who had been carefully selected, be so impatient?
"Zhuxi, you give your family..."
"Forget it, let's leave it to Madam to train her properly."
The family already had some opinions about Wanying being a concubine, and if she wrote another letter to question it, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.
When her plan succeeds in the future, she won't have to be so restrained.
The Queen Mother felt that her health was deteriorating. If she wanted to realize her wish in her lifetime, she had to make Wanying or Sulan pregnant as soon as possible.
"Zhuxi, go to the Imperial Household Department and tell them to present the green card every day for the sake of the reproduction of the royal heirs."
As soon as the Jingshifang received the hint from the Empress Dowager, Concubine Jing passed the news to Yonghe Palace.
"The concubines can only take charge of the palace power after they have served in the emperor's bed. These two newcomers to the palace are both ambitious."
Of course, the empress dowager who brought the two into the palace was also included.
An Lingrong counted on her fingers and found that the women from the Nian family who had attended to Concubine Hua during her childbirth had been in the palace for about a month.
If Concubine Hua gives birth, the most important palace power in her hands will definitely have to be handed over. No wonder some people are anxious.
"Bao Que, I heard from Song Zhi that Concubine Hua, who is about to give birth, has been very impatient recently. Let's go and take a look."
Ever since Concubine Hua became pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to go out, An Lingrong went to Yiku Palace to visit her more frequently.
Every time the emperor came to Yonghe Palace, he would ask about Concubine Hua's situation.
In order to reassure the emperor, she went to Yiku Palace several more times.
As soon as An Lingrong appeared, Concubine Hua hurriedly pulled her into the inner room.
"Lingrong, I have something to tell you... Just as that idiot Concubine Ying was about to give the Emperor old duck soup, Sun Zhuxi appeared and stopped her."
She angrily told An Lingrong everything about Nanny Yang's visit to the kitchen to inquire about things.
"It's going to snow in half a month, and the Queen Mother said the weather in the capital is too hot."
"This isn't some unusual weather condition. In my opinion, it's clearly those two bitches who are just being overheated."
An Lingrong supported her worriedly and comforted her in a gentle voice.
"Sister Nian, don't get excited. The Queen Mother has been in the palace for many years, so it's normal for her to be able to get the latest news about Chunxi Palace."
"Princess Ying is impatient and will definitely reveal her flaws in the future."
"Your belly is as big as a basket, please don't scare the little princess."
After Wei Lin took her pulse, he found out that Concubine Hua was pregnant with a princess.
The people in the Yangxin Palace also heard the news, and the cloths they sent were all bright and fresh in color.
"Lingrong, don't worry. Imperial Physician Zhang said that I've taken good care of myself and will definitely give birth to a princess safely."
If Concubine Hua hadn't held An Lingrong's hand so tightly, she might have believed it.
An Lingrong patted her hand gently and comforted her in a warm voice.
"Sister Hua, when you give birth, I will definitely help you take good care of you."
"Lingrong, thank you so much..."
"Lingrong, I seem to be giving birth!"
Concubine Hua shouted nervously.
"Songzhi, quickly clean up the delivery room, your master is making a move!"
An Lingrong sent the pale-faced Concubine Hua to the door of the delivery room, and grabbed the niece-in-law of the Nian family who was following behind and gave her some instructions.
"If you find anything unusual in the delivery room, notify me as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, I obey your command. Thank you, Your Majesty."
When she entered the palace, the master repeatedly reminded her that Concubine Shu was a trustworthy person.
An Lingrong waved her hand, signaling her to go in quickly.
"Jiang Fuhai, quickly send someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physicians. Remember to call more than one."
The implicit meaning is to call Wei Lin over as well.
"Send someone to notify the Emperor as soon as possible."
After she gave the order, she thought and thought again, and it seemed that there was nothing else that needed to be done.
Before the news of Concubine Hua's pregnancy spread, An Lingrong followed the midwife into the delivery room.
There was nothing wrong with the items in the delivery room, but when a midwife sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs looked at her, her eyes were obviously evasive.
When An Lingrong came out of the delivery room, she winked at Songzhi, and after she came out, she told her about her discovery.
"That fair-skinned nanny's eyes are not right, please pay more attention."
"Find a reason to move the two pots of chrysanthemums on the table."
Chrysanthemums were placed in the delivery room to cover up the bloody smell during childbirth, but she just felt that the two pots of flowers were an eyesore.
"I understand. Thank you, Imperial Concubine Shu, for reminding me."
It takes a long time for a woman to give birth, so the emperor came to the Yiku Palace only after finishing his government affairs.
As soon as Songzhi heard the shouting, she rushed out of the delivery room and knelt on the ground to speak up for her master.
"Your Majesty, I have caught a midwife in the delivery room with evil intentions. Please help my queen!"
"Su Peisheng, take the man away for a thorough investigation."
The emperor gave a stern order and turned to Songzhi.
"How is Concubine Hua? Has she been influenced by Diao Nu?"
"Your Majesty, the Queen is fine. She said she wants to save her strength for childbirth."
"Okay, okay! Please tell Concubine Hua to give birth peacefully. I will be watching over her outside."
The emperor, who was having difficulty in having children, slowed down his tone and spoke.
Zhang Wuwei said that it was difficult for him to have children, so he asked Concubine Rou, Concubine Qi and Concubine He to sleep with him one after another.
After working hard for more than two months, no good news came.
Therefore, even though the emperor knew that Concubine Hua was giving birth to a princess, he still looked forward to her arrival.
Concubine Hua's birth went smoothly, and the sound of a baby crying was heard in the delivery room before sunset.
Soon Songzhi came out with the baby in her arms to announce the good news.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to a princess."
The emperor came forward, took a look, and said "good" three times in a row.
"Is Concubine Hua okay?"
Songzhi spoke with a tearful voice.
"Your Majesty, please help my queen. She discovered that the fairy duck you gave her was missing, and out of desperation, she caused the princess to be born prematurely!"
