Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death
Chapter 17 The Princess Consort is Virtuous and Kind
Yao Feiran almost lost her composure. This child was too timid. No wonder she miscarried after being forced to kneel. She was probably too frightened, which caused the pregnancy to become unstable.
"The rest of you can go down first."
After sending the others away, Chun Tao led Yue Ling into the house. Physician Luo also rushed over, took Yue Ling's pulse, and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yue is more than two months pregnant."
"Alright, please don't tell anyone about this. I will only inform the Prince."
Physician Luo left in a hurry.
"Consort Yue, you are two months pregnant, and the pregnancy is still unstable. You should rest in the courtyard and not kneel around, understand?"
Yue Ling was both surprised and delighted, and nodded quickly. Her periods were irregular, and she had never thought about being pregnant. She had also been craving hawthorn recently, and now she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Afterwards, news spread that Yue Ling had been confined to her quarters for two months for offending the princess.
Luo Yuqin inwardly mocked the princess for getting worse and worse, openly bullying a concubine without fear of displeasing the prince.
When Yue Ling returned, there were many more silver bone charcoal items in the room, as well as several thick cotton quilts.
Qiu Yan said worriedly, "The princess is so concerned; she probably wants the child in your belly."
Yue Ling looked reluctant, but as a concubine, she was unable to raise her own child, so she could only force a smile and say, "It would be better if the princess raised the child; at least her status would be much more noble."
When Xie Che arrived, he had also heard the rumors from earlier that day. However, he would not interfere in the management of the inner quarters by the princess unless it went too far. He did not expect Yao Feiran to bring up this matter on her own initiative.
"Congratulations, Your Highness. I heard that Yue Ling has been feeling unwell lately. I just had the imperial physician take her pulse, and it turns out she is two months pregnant. I was thinking that there will be many festivals and banquets soon, so it would be better to confine her to the courtyard and let her rest properly. I have already sent over the necessary supplies."
Xie Che was stunned. So that was the reason. Yi'er was his only son. Now that Yi'er was gone, he only had a daughter left in the backyard.
"Your Highness is too kind. If Yue Ling gives birth to a child, why not adopt it and raise it with you?"
Seeing the fleeting, slightly dark look in Xie Che's eyes, Yao Feiran knew he was deliberately testing her. She shook her head: "No need. No matter who the children in the backyard are, I am their mother. I already have Wan'er by my side. It's too pitiful for the children to be separated from their birth mother. If Yueling is fortunate enough to give birth to the prince's offspring, then let her be promoted to the rank of lady."
Xie Che looked at her with emotion. When he was a child, because his birth mother's status was not prominent, he was raised by a concubine. The experience was hard to describe. He also understood that in the harem, children were just a means to win favor, and even his mother was no exception.
"You're fine."
Watching Xie Che leave, Yao Feiran suppressed her smile and sent another nanny who knew medicine to Yue Ling.
The next day, Yao Feiran was summoned by Consort Shu.
"Princess Consort Chen, I am also very saddened by Yi'er's passing. But as you know, Che'er has had few children in the harem over the years, which is also a sign of your incompetence as a princess consort."
After entering the palace, the original owner of this body was still grieving the loss of her son when she was criticized by Consort Shu. She offended Consort Shu and was confined to her quarters for several days. She was also accused of disrespecting her elders.
"Your daughter-in-law knows her mistake, Mother. I also have some good news to tell you. Concubine Yue is pregnant. However, she is timid and afraid of trouble. I have used the excuse of confinement to let her rest in the courtyard."
Consort Shu's expression softened instantly: "You're very thoughtful."
"My daughter-in-law has another request for Mother."
"What is it?"
"The next selection will be in three years. I am having difficulty conceiving. Your Majesty, why don't you bestow upon your daughter-in-law a few women who are easy to bear children? Not too few, preferably seven or eight or more."
Consort Shu's expression froze, and she almost dropped the string of beads in her hand.
Finally, Yao Feiran returned with a string of concubines.
"You are all people chosen by my mother, so naturally you have a clean background and are easy to raise. I hope you will not disappoint my mother's expectations. The prince does not like people with malicious intentions, so you'd better not have any ulterior motives."
Yao Feiran said a few words casually and then arranged for them to stay in different courtyards.
When Xie Che returned, he found that there were many more couples in the backyard. He was about to say something when he saw Yao Feiran's forced smile and assumed that his mother had made things difficult for her again.
"My mother was worried that you wouldn't have many children, so I begged to bring you a few concubines."
Yao Feiran was telling the truth, but Xie Che didn't think so. He knew that his mother was deliberately making things difficult for the princess, forcing her to accept these maids.
"Your Highness, thank you for your hard work."
Yao Feiran chuckled inwardly. Half of these women were chosen by her, and she had specifically asked the Reversal of Fate Pearl to select the most fertile ones, ensuring a successful pregnancy on the first try.
In the following three years, the number of children in the Prince Chen's mansion increased exponentially, with eight boys appearing in the blink of an eye. Yue Ling became a wife and occupied the last position.
Because of Yao Feiran's kindness to her, Yueling now follows Yao Feiran's lead without question.
After three years of selection, the last concubine position was filled.
Zhao Yunshu was caught off guard and also stopped taking the contraceptive soup. However, after so long, her body was still damaged and she could not get pregnant in a short time.
She gradually began to win over Xie Che's heart with her unique charm.
Even so, it couldn't stop the number of offspring in Xie Che's backyard from continuing to grow.
Yao Feiran would always take advantage of the time when the children were paying their respects to her to have the Fate-Defying Bead predict who would die first. Because the time was short, it didn't take up too much energy, so she was always able to save the children in advance, which earned her a lot of gratitude from the women.
Yao Feiran wouldn't interfere with the infighting among the women in her harem, but when it came to offspring, she had to intervene. As a result, she ended up with three imperial grandsons by accident.
Most of their biological mothers were killed in backyard fights.
"......"
I feel like I've raised more children than I ever have in my life.
But no matter what, she's determined to take the position of Empress Dowager.
Later, Xie Che was successfully made crown prince, and the Lin family began to panic.
The original owner's stepmother came to persuade him.
"Since you can't have children, why don't you let your sister Lin Xuan come over? If she gives birth to a son, you can register him under your name, and that will be a perfect ending."
Hmph! Who really achieved perfection?
The original owner did agree to let Lin Xuan into the backyard, but she had long been estranged from Xie Che. Xie Che couldn't stand her scheming manner and was unwilling to touch Lin Xuan at all.
As a result, Lin Xuan was as stupid as a pig and thought that the original owner of the body was preventing the prince from touching her, so she hated the original owner of the body.
Some of the evidence of the original owner's harm was exposed by Lin Xuan, who secretly sided with Zhao Yunshu.
"I already have enough children under me, I don't need my sister to come over."
The stepmother looked displeased and said consolingly, "These children aren't my own after all."
