Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 106

However, although they could no longer be husband and wife, Rong Huang still hoped from the bottom of his heart that Kangxi could return safely from the battlefield.After all, Xuan Ye has never treated her badly since the first time we met, except for the children.The supreme glory she once enjoyed, although partly due to her family and herself, was mostly given by Xuan Ye.Even if he regarded her as the shadow of another person, she should be relieved that she has received more compensation.

Let go, because you don't love, and you don't hate anymore.Now that you have nothing to worry about, it's time to leave.

On the day Xuan Ye left the palace, another major incident happened in the harem, and this incident was related to Rong Huang.

Not long after the emperor left, Princess Heshuo Roujia, who was drinking tea in Kunning Palace, suddenly fainted.After being diagnosed and treated by the Imperial Physician Hou, the princess turned out to be pregnant.

Rong Huang's heart suddenly turned cold.She was not sorry for herself, but for the poor princess.After doing some calculations, this is very likely to be Xuan Ye's child.The emperor patted his ass and left, what should the princess do?
She wanted to visit Roujia, but she didn't expect the princess to come to the main hall one step ahead of her.Rou Jiaping stepped back, took Rong Huang's hand and said: "Sister, listen to me, this child is not the emperor's."

"No?" Rong Huang looked at her suspiciously.

Roujia nodded: "Don't misunderstand me, I am the child's mother-in-law, so I know who this child is best. Before I entered the palace...the child of my father-in-law and me."

Rong Huang raised his eyes to look at her, and saw that her spirit had improved a lot, and there was a little smile in the corner of her eyes, it really looked like "people are in good spirits on happy occasions", so he believed her a little bit, and also smiled and said: " That's great, my sister has only Chan'er under her knee now, if she can have another child, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, it will be great."

"Yeah, the forehead will be very happy to know." Rou Jia hadn't smiled for a few days, and now she smiled, looking extraordinarily gentle and charming.

Rong Huang ordered his servants to pass the good news back to the son-in-law's mansion, and when the palace servants retreated again, Rou Jia took her hand and said, "Huang'er, it's my sister's fault, I tried to test you just now...Actually ..." She bit her lip, and said hesitantly, "You know what happened in Qianqing Palace that day, right?"

Birth
Seeing Roujia lower her head slowly like an ostrich, Rong Huang felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help holding her hand tightly and said: "Sister wants me to know, and I know. If sister doesn't want it, Rong Huang Phoenix doesn't know anything."

Roujia smiled wryly, raised her head to look at her, her eyes were full of tenderness: "Huang'er, I now know why the emperor likes you so much. Compared with me, you are indeed more suitable for the emperor and the empress. "

Perhaps it was because Xuan Ye had already left the Forbidden City, Rong Huang had become more courageous, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Sister, why do you need to comfort me like this? In fact, you and I both know very well, sister, you are the emperor's favorite person. "

"Even you think so?" Now that she has reached this point, Rou Jia simply said: "I and the emperor are cousins, and there is no possibility for me and him. But the emperor has stubbornly believed that his My sweetheart is me, just to...to prevent others from entering his heart. Or in other words, from the moment the emperor became sensible, he forced himself not to fall in love with any woman."

After hearing this, Rong Huang was a little surprised: "This... how did my cousin know?"

"Because, because I grew up with the emperor." Rou Jia seemed to have a thousand words in her heart, but the words turned into a long sigh. "Actually, when that kind of thing happened, I also hated the emperor in my heart. But when I think of the hardships the emperor has endured, I, I can't hate him anymore. When he was young, the first emperor loved Concubine Dong E's mother and son, and his mother was busy. Competing for favor, apart from the ancestors who were still the Empress Dowager at that time, there was no elder in the palace who cared about him. That's why he listened to the Empress Dowager so much today, not daring to easily go against the wishes of his ancestors."

"Because he's pitiful, can he be forgiven?" Rong Huang's heart ached, and he said sincerely: "Sister, you are really kind. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to do it."

Rou Jia shook her head and said, "No...it has nothing to do with kindness. I just, just want to... hope you can forgive the emperor, after all, his life is not easy."

"I didn't blame the emperor." Rong Huang said nonchalantly: "As a queen, I should understand the matter between the emperor and any woman." Regardless of Roujia, she won't feel uncomfortable when Kangxi is with anyone.

"No, Huang'er, that's not what I mean! I mean, the emperor really loves you in his heart, but he just doesn't admit it. Do you know..." At this point, Rou Jia seemed to be having difficulty opening her mouth, and she babbled It took me a long time to make my words clear: "That day, that day, the emperor came to him...he thought I was you."

"Take you as me?" Rong Huang couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Sister, you are making fun of me. For so many years, the emperor has always regarded me as your shadow, how could it be the other way around?"

Seeing that the two had misunderstood each other for a long time, Rou Jia couldn't help being anxious: "Who told you that the emperor regards you as my shadow?"

"It's the emperor himself." Rong Huang said honestly: "The first time I met the emperor was on the day of my sister's wedding. The emperor said anxiously that he would marry me because I look a little like my sister."

"No, it's not..." Rou Jia desperately shook her head, she couldn't argue with it.Seeing that she was in a hurry, Rong Huang thought she was afraid that Rong Huang would be angry because of Xuan Ye's violence against Rou Jia last time, so he comforted her and advised her to go back and rest.Seeing that she didn't understand what she meant, Rou Jia temporarily withdrew, thinking that the future would be brighter.

She never thought that they would never have the opportunity to talk together like today.Some things are missed, that is, missed forever, and can no longer be retrieved.

Winter in the Forbidden City came in a hurry, and when Rong Huang received Xuan Ye's fourth letter, her due date finally arrived.Maybe it's because he can't eat too much, Rong Huang's stomach is not very big.On the morning of the delivery, she was walking in the yard with Concubine Yi.

When Concubine Yi left in the afternoon and Rong Huang started to take a nap, he felt pain in his lower abdomen, and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.Because the day was right, Rong Huang knew that she was about to give birth, so she hurriedly asked Jing Yi and the others to prepare.

She has taken care of the child since she was just pregnant, plus she has not let Xuanye get close for so long, Ma Jiashi is dead, Xiaozhuang is imprisoned again, and no one is making trouble in the harem for the time being, so if there are no accidents, The child should be born without incident.

But God just doesn't let everything go so smoothly.Rong Huang was in pain for a long time, and after eight full hours of pain, there was still no sign of giving birth.The experienced Nanny Sun comforted her, saying that the first child is like this.

Rong Huang has some common sense of physiology in modern times, knowing that it is normal for a mother to dilate her cervix for eleven or twelve hours after giving birth to her first child.But she couldn't explain why, she just felt that something was wrong.

She forced herself to open her eyes and looked around, Nanny Sun, Rulan, Ruilan, the two stable women found at home, and...

And who is this person?Rong Huang settled down, and finally remembered that this maid is from Chengqian Palace... No, to be precise, she is now from Yonghe Palace!

"Jingyi! Grab her..." Rong Huang resisted the pain, pointing at the maid.

Rui Lan was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "My empress, Aunt Jing Yi is not here. This elder sister is Le Yi who is next to Concubine Yi! Concubine Yi is worried about you, and she can't get in, so she has to let her personal maid Come to see you."

Rong Huang gritted her teeth with hatred, she finally knew what was wrong now!Jing Yi, whom she trusted the most, was not by her side, but there was someone else's court lady in the room.At first, because of her physical discomfort, she didn't take it seriously when she saw Le Yi's familiar eyes.But when she saw the bracelet on her wrist when she just fetched water, Rong Huang understood everything!
That was the bracelet she gave to the noble man!The bracelet looked no different from ordinary jade bracelets, but Rong Huang had worn it for a long time, so it was obvious at a glance.This bracelet is a dowry given to her by Ye Bilong, there is only such a pair in the whole world, and the other one is in Pinggui.This Le Yi is either from Pinggui, or has been bought by Degui.

Mr. Pinggui is now confined in Changchun Palace, and Mr. Degui came out of Chengqian Palace... A simple analysis makes it easy to guess that this Wuya family has no good intentions and wants to use the name of Concubine Yi to harm her Woolen cloth!
No wonder it's been so long, the fetal head hasn't been delivered yet, it turns out someone deliberately made trouble... The more Rong Huang thought about it, the more angry he became, he pointed at Le Yi with all his strength and said, "Give me a good search for this girl!"

Wu Yashi's methods are so powerful, if Rong Huang really has any troubles, then she can kill two birds with one stone and get rid of the queen and concubine!
