Chapter 205: Chronicles of Yongzheng's Harem 3
Yinzhen was not very generous to Jiayue. After all, she was not favored. In addition, the imperial concubine was pregnant, so he ignored her. Looking at Jiayue, thinking that she was carrying his child in her belly, he seemed to have almost forgotten her.
Thinking of this, Yinzhen felt a rare sense of embarrassment.
He originally thought that this matter had little to do with Jiayue. The evidence was collected too quickly and the action was too rough.
The reason why she was called over even though she was pregnant was simply to show that he didn't care about her.
It was impossible for Yinzhen and the Queen to search the palace, which would undoubtedly be insulting, especially since they both knew what was going on.
The Queen looked at Yinzhen: "What does the Emperor mean?"
"This matter has nothing to do with Concubine Jing."
Jiayue's face looked much better, and she said immediately: "I thank the emperor and the queen for doing justice for me. Since I became pregnant, I have asked the imperial physician a lot of things pregnant women should pay attention to. Logically speaking, even if I fell, I would not miscarry before the imperial physician can see me. It is possible that I remembered it wrongly."
After saying that, Jiayue immediately lowered her head.
Her words immediately gave the emperor and empress new ideas.
Yinzhen glanced at her and felt a little surprised. He had no impression of Jiayue. She must have been pretty to be able to be a concubine in his backyard. However, his mind was on Nian. He discovered that Jiayue seemed to have some intelligence that he didn't know about.
A smart woman is always more pleasing than a stupid one.
"Su Peisheng, call a few more doctors to come and check the imperial concubine's pulse, send someone to send Jingpin back to Chuxiu Palace, and find a doctor to check on Jingpin. In addition, Wang Hai and his family should be beaten to death."
Su Peisheng: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Yinzhen then looked at Jiayue and said, "Go back and take care of your pregnancy. I will go to see you and the baby when I have time."
Jiayue paused for a moment, then said softly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
After returning to Chuxiu Palace, Jiayue's back was a little wet. Although she wanted to enjoy the spring breeze, the pressure from the ancient emperors really made her feel the majesty of the superior.
In modern times, she can remain calm when facing high-ranking officials because she knows that the law will protect her as much as possible. But it was not like that in ancient times. She did not sympathize with the Wang Hai brothers because they framed her and they did harm people, but she did feel the meaning of the ancient emperors holding the power of life and death.
"Baochun, I want to drink some hot water."
"Please wait a moment, Madam. I will bring it to you right away."
Soon, Baochun brought over a cup of hot water. She drank the cup of hot water and took the opportunity to drink two sips of the spiritual spring water. She felt much better.
Thinking that the imperial physician would be here soon, she said, "Help me lie down for a while. I feel a little uncomfortable."
Baochun asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with you, Madam?"
"I feel sick in my stomach. Let's wait until the doctor comes!"
Baochun looked worried: "I will help you in."
Jiayue went to bed and lay there for a while, taking the opportunity to give herself two injections. The imperial physician came over and took her pulse, and finally concluded that she had a miscarriage and needed to rest, which was not surprising at all.
At night, Jiayue drank the spiritual spring water again and slept very peacefully.
The next day, Yinzhen's compensation arrived, delivered by Su Peisheng personally.
Among them were one thousand taels of silver, one hundred taels of gold, a number of jewelry, vases, screens and other ornaments, a lot of fabrics, supplements such as bird's nests and donkey-hide gelatin, and precious medicinal materials. What surprised her most was that she was given a small kitchen.
There are not many people in the harem who have small kitchens now, including the Queen, Concubine Nian, and Concubine Qi.
But I heard that she has it, and Concubine Xi also has it.
She can't have all the concubines, but she doesn't have Concubine Xi, which wouldn't look good either.
After seeing off the eunuchs from the Yangxin Palace, Jiayue asked, "Are there any plans for Concubine Nian?"
"I only heard that two imperial physicians died. I am incompetent and cannot find out the details."
"It's not that you're incompetent. The emperor wants to keep it a secret, so naturally you can't find out anything. Just wait and see who the emperor has ignored recently, and you'll find out."
"I will send someone to keep an eye on it."
"There's no need to send anyone to keep an eye on this matter. The emperor's news will always come through."
"That's what the queen said."
“Since the emperor has given you a lot of money, you have all worked hard these days, so I will give each of you a monthly salary as a reward. Tell the people below that if you are loyal, I will not treat you unfairly. If you are not loyal, you will end up like Wang Hai.
If anyone is in trouble, please tell me. I will not hesitate to help if I can. If anyone finds something wrong with a companion, please report it privately. If it is verified to be correct, I will also reward you. If it is a false accusation, I will also punish you severely. "
"Yes, ma'am."
Baochun made arrangements according to Jiayue's instructions. The person serving her was Baoxia, who was arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was quite considerate.
Two days later, Jiayue heard that Concubine Qi behaved improperly in front of the emperor, was reprimanded by the emperor, and was confined to her house for three months.
After listening, Jiayue frowned. It seemed that no definite evidence was found. Otherwise, considering how favored Concubine Nian was, the punishment for Concubine Qi would be too light.
However, it was obvious that what Concubine Qi did was discovered, which made Yinzhen unhappy.
Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why she reminded the imperial physician that there was a problem was because she was afraid that Concubine Nian would come to her senses and vent her anger on her. She had to find a vent for Concubine Nian. Now, it seems that with Concubine Qi to support her, she doesn't have to worry too much.
Concubine Nian is very different from Concubine Hua in modern popular works. She has a ladylike face, is delicate, and is in poor health, with a kind of morbid beauty.
Her character cannot be described as vicious, but she is somewhat jealous. However, she would not go too far and would not, and could not, directly persecute concubines.
She is a well-deserved favorite concubine, and Jiayue doesn't want to confront her.
Now, she can rest assured and take care of her pregnancy.
Given Yinzhen's level of workaholic attitude and the fact that he was still in mourning, she didn't have to worry about someone in the harem getting pregnant and being framed in the short term.
On the other side, in the Yangxin Palace, Su Peisheng came in and interrupted Yinzhen who was dealing with memorials.
"Your Majesty, Madam Wuya from Shoukang Palace has brought the soup."
"Let Aunt Wuya come in."
Wuya Ma Ma came in and saluted Yinzhen, then put down the food box and said, "The Empress Dowager heard that the Emperor only slept two hours a day and was very worried. She specially asked me to bring some supplements. The Empress Dowager said that no matter what the Emperor wants to do, he must have a good body."
"Thank you for your concern, Empress Dowager. I understand and I will pay attention to it."
Although Yinzhen was happy about the empress dowager's concern, he always felt it was unreal.
When the Empress Dowager was still Concubine De, she always favored the Fourteenth Prince. He and the Fourteenth Prince were born of the same mother, so he could feel his mother's favoritism.
It was only in the past two years that things got better and I started to favor him.
He enjoyed this feeling, but he always felt dazed. However, the relationship between mother and son was still good.
After Yinzhen drank the soup, Wuya Ma left. Yinzhen put down his pen and called out, "Su Peisheng, go to Chuxiu Palace and see Concubine Jing."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chuxiu Palace.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Hearing the voice, Jiayue and the palace maids in the room were stunned, but they soon showed joy on their faces. They serve their master and naturally hope that their master will be favored so that they can also be honored.
As for Jiayue, she was confused.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case! Yongzheng was a well-known workaholic in history. Even though it was said that he doted on Concubine Nian, it was relatively speaking and he did not lose his mind for women.
When I was still in the palace, I went to the backyard less than ten days a month.
Excluding the two days from the wife of the emperor, most of the remaining children belonged to Nian. Only occasionally would they go to other concubines and princesses. That was how the original owner's children came about.
