Chapter 171: Inducing labor as the main focus, hiring people to do free work as a supplement
That was why she looked down on me so much. However, the mistress of a palace all regarded herself as Noble Lady Fucha, so An Lingrong did not take it to heart.
If An Lingrong really wanted to deal with such a timid person, she would probably give each of those ghosts a purse, and Fu Cha's pregnancy would be in danger again.
"In that case, you must take good care of your baby this time. You must not miscarry the baby like last time because of something bad you ate."
Although the Empress Dowager was surprised that Noble Lady Fucha was pregnant, she always felt that she was too frivolous. After all, she was from the Manchu military banner. Meizhuang, as a member of the Han military banner, gave birth to a princess. If a member of the Manchu military banner could give birth to a prince, it would truly be a balance for the Eight Banners.
"Queen Mother, last time, someone tried to harm me. This time, I will be careful."
Hua Fei: Humph, I hope you can survive until the New Year this time. I don’t want to have a restless New Year.
"Well, not only you have to be careful, but also the palace servants and doctors who take care of you. Queen, Noble Lady Fucha's pregnancy is now in your care. If anything happens, I will only look for you."
Before the empress could recover from the shock, she heard the empress dowager complimenting her. The empress wondered if she had added too few bauhinia seeds to the chrysanthemum pillow, which was why the empress dowager kept criticizing her.
Let's see if Noble Lady Fucha is lucky enough to give birth to the child.
"I obey your order. I will take good care of Noble Lady Fucha." The queen standing aside bowed to the empress dowager.
"Since you are pregnant, stop kneeling and get up quickly. Zhuxi, bring a chair to Noble Lady Fucha."
Sang'er helped his master up from the side, and Noble Lady Fucha simply supported her waist with her hands and stood up with her belly, which was not noticeable at all.
When passing by Concubine Hui, Concubine Fucha deliberately gave Shen Meizhuang a proud smile: So what if you gave birth to a princess, the Queen Mother only assigned the nanny to take care of you personally, but my baby was taken care of by the Queen herself.
Shen Meizhuang: That’s good. I hope the Queen won’t take away both your body and your son’s life.
Hua Fei looked at Noble Lady Fucha's smug look and couldn't help but rolling her eyes.
Stupid person, really hopelessly stupid.
After the ceremony was over, the Queen Mother asked Zhen Huan calmly, "Is Concubine Wan feeling better?"
On that day, when Concubine Wan was poisoned and the Queen Mother arrived at Suiyuxuan, Zhen Huan woke up at the right time, which undoubtedly helped the Queen Mother.
As the champion of the previous palace fight, how could the Queen Mother not see through this little trick?
The only one who is deeply trapped in the maze is probably his silly son who is obsessed with love.
"In reply to the Queen Mother, I thank you for your concern. I am now much better."
"Well, you should be careful with what you take in from now on. The emperor comes to your place quite often, so you should check everything carefully. You should be extremely careful."
"We must not let something like the last time where someone smeared poison on the lid of the medicine jar happen again, don't you think?"
"Your Highness, you have considered everything very carefully. I will also ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be more careful."
"That's good. It just so happened that the Ministry of Internal Affairs made a few extra quilts for me a few days ago. I couldn't use them all, so I asked the embroiderer to change the quilt cover into a Hundred Children's Blessing. I give it to you as a reward. I also hope that you can give birth to an heir to the emperor as soon as possible."
Queen: The brocade quilt with Bai Zi Fu quilt cover, the Queen Mother is criticizing herself again.
Concubine Hua: The Queen Mother gave me a bed and quilt for no reason. Does she know something that I don't?
Concubine Hua gave Zhou Ninghai a fierce look. Zhou Ninghai wiped the cold sweat that suddenly broke out on his head without knowing why. Zhou Ninghai didn't understand what he had done wrong.
"Thank you very much, Queen Mother, for your concern." Zhen Huan kowtowed again.
I guess my little cleverness last time didn't annoy the Queen Mother.
Next, the maids kowtowed to the Empress Dowager and greeted her.
Hua Fei: It’s almost there, she’s here.
"Who is An Changzai?"
When An Lingrong heard that the Queen Mother would mention her, she was surprised but she did not show any panic on her face.
"Your concubine An Lingrong pays respect to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother have a long and prosperous new year."
"Lift your head and let me see it?"
"Well, he seems to be of a good temper."
"Empress Dowager, this Concubine An is not only an outstanding embroidery worker, but her singing voice is also amazing." Concubine Qi interrupted and praised.
Recently, An Lingrong often comes to play cards with him and often feeds him cards. He also has to pamper An Changzai.
An Lingrong: Concubine Qi, it was you who abducted me to Changchun Palace. You have your own understanding of companionship and growth.
"Yes, when the Empress Dowager is free, can you ask An Changzai to sing a song of eternal reunion for her?" the Queen added.
Compared to An Lingrong's embroidery skills, the Queen would rather show her singing voice to others, because it gives her the pleasure of showing off an exquisite object to others.
Concubine Hua: She is a human being, not an object. You two are treating her like a monkey, and one of you is treating her like an object. I wonder if she had put some poison in the spices in her previous life to kill both of you.
Maitreya Buddha: You have once again missed the secret.
"I am old and don't like to listen to those songs. The moving voices are not as good as the Buddhist chanting. I really like the picture of a hundred years of longevity you embroidered for me last time. Would you please make some more prayer flags for me?"
The fact that the Empress Dowager believed in Buddhism was known to everyone in the court, and ever since she met An Lingrong by chance in the Imperial Garden, she had become even more fond of her.
Hua Fei: Queen Mother, how many evil things have you done in your life? Burning incense and praying to Buddha every day to atone for your sins after retirement is something only superstitious old ladies would do.
Maitreya Buddha: OK. You are noble.
"The Queen Mother likes Lingrong's embroidery, so Lingrong is willing to do it. However, the Queen Mother has no special instructions for the Buddhist scriptures on the prayer flags."
An Lingrong: I have to work for nothing again. I am so tired. This is what a hard-working worker is like.
"I heard that Lady Wan is quite knowledgeable in poetry and calligraphy, so would you mind if Lady Wan copied the Buddhist scriptures on the prayer flags for me?"
"I am very happy that the Queen Mother has taken a liking to my clumsy handwriting. Sister An and I often do embroidery together. Now that we can make prayer flags for the Queen Mother together, it is a great favor for both of us."
An Lingrong: Okay, I’m not the only one working for free, I also have Sister Wan as my companion, so we can be considered as inseparable sisters.
"I will serve the Queen Mother together with Sister Wan."
Concubine Hua: Fortunately, the Emperor didn’t give me any more titles like concubine or official lady. I’m really exhausted. Now I just want to go back to Yikun Palace and lie down.
The empress dowager also reminded Chun Changzai that she should be more stable now that she is the emperor's proper concubine. Xin Changzai should not only take good care of Linglong on weekdays, but also pay more attention to the emperor while she is still young, and try to conceive another heir next year, so as to make the emperor a "good person".
In summary, this audience with the whole palace was mainly for inducing childbirth, supplemented by hiring people to do free work. The empress dowager calculated that everyone had been taken care of, and was ready to give her closing remarks.
"Alright, I have seen you all today. You can all go back to the palace. Remember to behave yourself and be polite next year. Don't get jealous in the harem over trivial matters and cause trouble. The most important thing is to get pregnant with a boy or girl for the emperor as soon as possible."
