Chapter 215: Chronicles of Yongzheng's Harem 13
If Jiayue could see it, naturally others could see it too.
For example, the Queen, Concubine Xi, and Concubine Yu who lived with Concubine Lin.
But everyone agreed not to say anything.
The Queen wanted a prince with Ulanara bloodline. As for Concubine Lin's child, if she had the ability, she would give birth to the child. She was the Queen and was not responsible for protecting the concubine's pregnancy.
Before setting off for the Old Summer Palace, Jiayue arranged for someone to tell the palace servants who stayed behind in the Chuxiu Palace to stay away from the ladies.
The carriage drove out of the Forbidden City and slowly headed towards the Old Summer Palace.
"Mother, we're here."
Jiayue helped Baochun get off the carriage, then looked at the courtyard in front of them. There were four big characters on the plaque of the courtyard: Bitong Academy.
Baochun said quickly, "I have inquired about the Bitong Academy. When the emperor was still a prince, he often studied here. After the emperor ascended the throne, this place was renovated and became more suitable for living. It is said that there are many books, calligraphy and paintings left by the emperor! The emperor must have made such arrangements because he knew that the queen loved reading."
Jiayue smiled and said: "You are the only one who can speak."
While chatting and laughing, Baochun supported Jiayue, and the wet nurse behind them held Hongzhao, and a group of people entered the yard.
Jiayue smiled and called the original palace maids of Bitong Academy, and arranged a wave of rewards first. She handed the courtyard to Nanny Chen. She took Hongzhao into the house, and there was a burst of coolness. The palace maids of Yuanmingyuan had already prepared ice.
"This Bitong Academy is really nice. It has a lot more windows."
It is well ventilated and has a wide view, without the suffocating square layout of the Forbidden City.
"It's really good."
In the afternoon, there was good news.
"Your Majesty, the Queen just sent someone to deliver a message. It's hot in the summer, so you can just go and pay your respects every five or ten days from now on."
Jiayue smiled, and her smile was very sincere: "The Queen is generous."
"Tomorrow is neither the fifth nor the tenth day of the lunar calendar. Your Majesty and the Sixth Prince must be tired from riding the carriage today. This is a good opportunity for them to have some rest."
"Yeah, I can sleep in tomorrow." Since I finished the confinement period, I have to greet my parents almost every day. College students have to get up early and have Saturdays and weekends.
It is true that living in the Old Summer Palace is comfortable, but it is indeed inconvenient to pay respects as people live in scattered places, and it is not like in the palace where palaces are next to each other.
For those who live far away, it is possible that they may take half an hour to pay their respects, but not everyone is qualified to ride in a sedan chair.
The Queen was exempted from the daily greetings, which really showed her magnanimity and generosity.
No matter what her purpose was, Jiayue would be grateful if she received any benefits, and would immediately ask someone to spread the word on behalf of the queen. As a concubine, she naturally hoped that the queen would be as generous as possible.
They gained benefits, the queen gained fame, and everyone was happy.
Jiayue settled down in Bitong Academy.
In summer, Yinzhen didn't like to summon people to sleep with him. For several days, Jiayue hadn't heard that Yinzhen had visited that concubine. He stayed in Jiuzhou Qingyan every day, busy with government affairs with his thirteenth brother.
Jiayue just felt that such days were particularly pleasant.
Food and water were brought to him, there was a child to tease him, and when he was bored he played tag with the palace servants. When he had free time he read a book and occasionally painted a picture.
In fact, her ink painting skills are average, but although her techniques are not good enough, there is a different kind of vitality in them, and they look somewhat spiritual, and she gradually fell in love with painting.
However, no matter how pleasant the days are, they will eventually pass.
Just then, Baochun came in with a somewhat anxious look on her face and reported: "Your Majesty, something happened to the Imperial Concubine."
When Jiayue heard that she was in trouble, her face turned pale.
What happened last time was still fresh in her mind. She didn't say that she was worried that something might happen to the imperial concubine, but she didn't want to hear any news about her anyway.
"What happened to the imperial concubine? Did she have a miscarriage?" Jiayue's voice was a little more anxious than usual.
She also wanted to be calm, but she really couldn't be calm at this moment.
If she is framed again, she might not be able to bear it.
Baochun shook her head and said, "It's not a miscarriage, don't worry, Your Majesty. The Imperial Concubine lives a little far from our Bitong Academy. If anything happens to her, it has nothing to do with us anyway."
Jiayue sighed: "In the harem, there are so many absurd things!"
After that, Jiayue stood up and said, "Let's go and see the imperial concubine. The emperor is probably there too. It's a good opportunity for you to tell me what's going on."
"Yes, ma'am."
On the way, Baochun briefly told Jiayue the news that had been spread.
The imperial concubine did not have a miscarriage, but her condition was very bad.
Having learned from the lesson of her previous pregnancy, although the imperial concubine can still walk around, she will not go out for a walk. She was taking a stroll openly, and then she stepped on a pebble, a pebble covered with moss, and fell.
The imperial physician arrived just in time, and the imperial concubine did not abort the baby immediately. However, they did not know the specific situation.
Jiayue thought of the string of lucky dolls that Concubine Nian had in history. They were born but none of them grew up. On the one hand, Concubine Nian was weak, and on the other hand, it seemed that someone didn't want her to give birth to healthy children.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!
Behind the extreme favor lies the extreme targeting. If you can withstand it, you will have a smooth road ahead. If you can't, you will end up like Dong Efei of Shunzhi Dynasty.
As I was thinking, I arrived at the place.
When she arrived, quite a few people were already there.
Jiayue walked up to the good-natured Yupin and asked, "Has the emperor received any news?"
"Someone has been sent there, and he should be here soon."
"What did the doctor say?"
"The imperial physician said that the imperial concubine had a miscarriage and needed to stay in bed to recuperate."
Jiayue fell silent after hearing this.
Staying in bed during pregnancy is already a very bad sign.
Jiayue had to pretend before in order to give birth to a healthy child. With the imperial concubine's physique, if she can give birth to this baby, she will probably...
After a long while, Jiayue whispered: "What's the matter with that pebble? I heard that the imperial concubine takes a walk every day. How could such an honest palace maid be so careless?"
Yupin said with a lingering fear: "The Queen is investigating inside! But I guess we have to wait until the Emperor comes to get a conclusion."
Jiayue said nothing more and waited for the result with everyone else.
Not long after, Yinzhen came, and he looked very unhappy.
The queen also came out. After some greetings, Yinzhen asked with a sullen face: "How is the imperial concubine? Where is the imperial physician?"
The imperial physician hurried forward to report: "Your Majesty, although the imperial concubine's pregnancy cannot be saved, the fall did cause great damage to the imperial concubine. She will need to stay in bed and rest until the birth."
Yinzhen looked at Su Peisheng and said, "Send someone to call a few more doctors to come and see the imperial concubine."
As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions changed. The queen's expression was particularly bad. She was the one who arranged for this imperial physician to come.
The last time the imperial concubine had a miscarriage, it left a deep shadow on Yinzhen, causing him to have some distrust in the imperial physician.
Su Peisheng immediately went to make arrangements.
"Queen, can you find out why the concubine fell?"
"The imperial concubine stepped on a mossy cobblestone while taking a walk. I have already detained all the palace officials involved. Before we could investigate, the emperor arrived. You see..."
Yinzhen knew that the queen was making excuses and was unwilling to intervene.
At the same time, he also somewhat distrusted the queen's abilities.
"Su Peisheng, go and review it with the Queen's people."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
