PDLP Chapter 162 Two Bad Girls
Chapter 162 Two Bad Girls
Jiapin screamed for several hours and finally gave birth to a stillborn baby.
He is a brother.
The nanny carefully held the child and let the emperor and the empress have a look. Empress Fucha couldn't bear to look and turned her eyes away. Hongli stared at him for a while and then asked the nanny to take the child out.
Empress Fucha said in a deep voice: "I will have someone make a coffin as soon as possible. No matter what, we must bring the child back and bury him in the imperial mausoleum."
In fact, such unborn children could not really be buried in the imperial mausoleum. Most of them were buried around the imperial mausoleum or in royal temples so that the children's souls could be protected.
Empress Fucha said this because she was afraid that Hongli would be too sad.
She has increasingly discovered that her husband is becoming more and more like a human being, rather than a dangerous and unpredictable being who only revolves around Ruyi.
Hongli's long eyelashes hid the moisture in his eyes, and he nodded to the queen: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Queen."
He glanced at the unconscious Jiapin on the bed, anger rising on his face: "If she hadn't been jumping up and down, how could it have come to this?!"
He said in a cold voice: "Jiapin made a fuss and killed Longsi. From today on, she will be demoted to a noble lady and moved to a side hall of Qixiang Palace. She will be confined for a year and cannot leave without being summoned!"
Jinzhong stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Lady Jia is unwell, how should we arrange for her?"
Hongli looked at the queen and said directly, "Let her stay here first. When we get to the capital, send her back to Qixiang Palace in a sedan chair. I will stay at Lingpin's place."
Jinzhong: “…Yes.”
He really wanted to swear.
His mistress is a pregnant woman, and she has to serve you, a precious person. This is really inhumane!
He glanced at Zhang Yun and said, "Doctor Zhang, please help Concubine Jia get out of bed quickly. Otherwise, she will suffer a lot on the way back to the capital."
Zhang Yun just saw that his eyes were not right, and thought he had guessed wrong. Now that he saw him confirm it for the second time, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief:
"Your Majesty, rest assured. Although Concubine Jia has lost too much blood and damaged her health, and will not be able to have children in the future, I will take good care of her body. As long as you follow the doctor's advice, you will be able to slowly restore your blood and energy."
Hongli frowned slightly, took a look at Concubine Jia's pale face, and said, "Forget it, it's good enough that she can be saved. She already has two children. Even if she can't have children in the future, she will have someone to rely on in the palace."
He stood up and personally helped Empress Fucha up: "I will take you back. Zhang Yun, come and check the Empress' pulse first."
Zhang Yun immediately followed: "Okay!"
Hongli's heavy mood was somewhat dispelled by his commonplace response. He slowed down his pace and said to Empress Fucha, "I wonder if Wanwan and Jingjue were frightened."
Empress Fucha patted the back of his hand gently and said, "If Your Majesty goes and talks to them personally, they will definitely not be afraid anymore."
Hongli felt much better: "You are right."
The couple snuggled up to each other, and although there was no ambiguity or tenderness, there was a long-lasting and gentle sense of family affection lingering around them.
In the room, Jinzhong straightened his back, glanced around the room, and said calmly, "Everyone, be careful and don't make any noise that will upset the emperor."
The palace maids and nannies responded in unison. No one dared to offend the eunuch Jinzhong who was about to replace the chief steward.
Jinzhong explained everything he needed to say one by one, and properly arranged the little prince's body and funeral affairs. He hurried to change his clothes, and fumigated some incense that Yanwan liked recently, and then went to Empress Fucha to wait to be served.
Listening to Yanwan's gentle voice in the room, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing an extraordinary smile.
Concubine Jia's prince is gone, so according to the order, the one in her master's belly is naturally the prince.
Concubine Jia will not be able to give birth in the future. In the future, the one who can give birth the most in the whole palace will be his son Lingzhu. As long as he guards the door of Yongshou Palace tightly, his son Lingzhu will be the one with the most children in the harem and will eventually become the emperor.
Thinking that he would still be able to serve the Empress Dowager Yan Wan when he was old, he was filled with hope.
How nice.
This life.
He would never allow anyone to disturb him from paving the way for his master, and he would kill anyone who stopped him.
Seeing the people from the kitchen coming over with pots and preparing to set the table for lunch, Jinzhong stopped them and said, "I'm afraid it's not suitable to eat these today. Wait a minute, I'll go ask."
The people in the kitchen nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Eunuch Jinzhong!"
They also heard that Concubine Jia had given birth to a stillbirth, so they were really afraid that the Emperor would blame them for serving the mutton and beef. However, since this was personally selected by the Empress, they had no choice but to go ahead and serve.
Fortunately, Eunuch Jinzhong was willing to step forward and ask on their behalf!
Everyone looked at Jinzhong eagerly as he entered the room. Inside the room, Jinzhong knelt on one knee to greet his majesty: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the kitchen has learned a new dish of mutton stewed noodles and beef stewed noodles. I would like to bring them in for the masters to taste."
Empress Fucha immediately understood what was going on. She looked at Jinzhong gently and said, "That sounds good."
She turned to Hongli and said, "I am blessed by the emperor."
Yan Wan said expectantly, "Your Majesty, I want to eat it too."
Jing Jing didn't say anything. She was busy making tea for her parents.
Hongli nodded with amusement: "Go and ask them to come up."
Jinzhong uttered a hiss and retreated neatly, leaving the warmth of the room to this most distinguished family of four.
When he got outside, he said to the people in the small kitchen, "Make mutton stewed noodles and beef stewed noodles. Be more meticulous and make it a little different from the usual ones."
The people in the small kitchen were very grateful: "Thank you, Eunuch Jinzhong!"
The soup is ready, they can start making it right away when they get back. They are so thoughtful, otherwise why did others go upstairs and Li Yu come down?
Not to mention what the people from the small kitchen said to their own master in the imperial kitchen after returning to the palace, there is only one thing - no matter how good Concubine Jia's meals were, they were never tasty.
Two days later, they landed, set out the ceremonial procession, and returned to the palace by land.
After some more time, everyone finally returned to the palace and settled down in their own palaces.
Yanwan collapsed on the bed and didn't want to move. Chunchan fed her water with a spoon, Lancui was busy fanning her, and Wang Chan was outside tightening the belts of the palace maids and eunuchs who had been slacking off for a long time.
Yan Wan sighed: "It's still most comfortable at home."
It’s nice to be outside. When I don’t go out, I feel that the sky is high and the sea is vast. But after walking around for a long time, I miss the comfort of being able to lie down and sleep all day.
Chunchan smiled and said, "That's right!"
Glancing at Lan Cui.
Lan Cui also pursed her lips and tried to hold back her laughter.
Yan Wan tried to pretend that she didn't understand, but she failed. She pushed them with red ears and said, "Two bad girls! You're making fun of me!"
