Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 214: Chronicles of Yongzheng's Harem 12

After the new concubines in the harem had served the emperor, they looked at each other and found that none of them was favored, so they couldn't help feeling discouraged. They were young and beautiful, but Yinzhen just didn't seem to like them.

In fact, the newlyweds really misunderstood Yinzhen. He was not interested in women, but he still wanted to have more royal heirs. He was so impartial because he was too busy.

It's not good to leave them alone for one day each, we have to confirm their identities.

As for other things, it was also because the imperial concubine was pregnant. Yinzhen also knew that the imperial concubine was a little jealous, and he was afraid that she would be unhappy and have a miscarriage.

Besides, compared to women, career is his favorite.

Not to mention, his Thirteenth Brother was accompanying him in the Yangxin Palace to work, and the newcomers in the harem were not considered considerate, so he naturally chose his Thirteenth Brother.

Jiayue was not surprised when she heard about the treatment of the newcomers. In history, Yongzheng had very few concubines compared to his father and his son. The only ones who could be considered favored were Concubine Li in the early period and Concubine Nian later.

After that, there was nothing.

It seems normal for newcomers to be treated coldly.

Jiayue thought it was normal, but the newcomers couldn't stand this kind of normality and started to think of ways to win favor.

For example, Ulanala often went to Jingren Palace frequently, saying that she wanted to accompany her cousin to relieve her boredom.

The queen wanted to win her over, so even though she didn't like her behavior, she had to treat her to delicious food and drinks.

Zhao Changzai was very close to Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi didn't like Zhao Chang's "cousin" who looked a bit like her when she was young, but she didn't have much favor anymore. In fact, Yinzhen treated her worse than ordinary concubines. She still had the Third Prince, and she also wanted to compete with him, so she needed a favored concubine to help her speak to Yinzhen.

Therefore, even though she disliked Concubine Zhao, Concubine Qi had to accept it reluctantly.

As for the others, it's not so obvious.

Seeing that the imperial concubine was pregnant, the queen could no longer bear it. She tried to make the imperial concubine pregnant in order to free up her time for sleeping with the queen and to have more children of the Ulanara family in the harem. It was not out of charity.

On the fifteenth day, in the evening of the Yangxin Palace, Su Peisheng reminded: "Your Majesty, watch the sky getting dark. Today is the fifteenth day, and the people from Jingren Palace came to ask about your dinner early in the morning."

On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, Yinzhen said he wanted to go to the Queen's palace, but he didn't have to go, on the condition that he didn't go to anyone else's palace. Su Peisheng said this simply to mean that the Queen had something to say.

Yinzhen put down his pen and ink and looked out the window. It was indeed getting dark.

"Let's go to Jingren Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When Yinzhen arrived at Jingren Palace, the empress sat down and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I asked someone to cook a nourishing soup. You have been busy with government affairs all day, so you should take care of your body."

"Thank you Queen for your concern. I would be worried if I didn't personally take care of the affairs of the previous dynasty."

The Queen sighed, "Your Majesty is diligent in his work and loves the people. He is a blessing to all the people. But your Majesty cannot be so busy all the time. I have read the booklet of the Imperial Household Department. Before the Imperial Concubine was pregnant, the Emperor had a place to go to relax. Now that the Imperial Concubine is pregnant, the Emperor is even less willing to go to the harem. But are the new concubines not to his liking?"

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen also understood what the Queen wanted to express today.

He also thought about the newcomers. In fact, they were all okay. Compared with the past, the quality of the newcomers was obviously better, but he really didn't have the leisure time for that.

But you also have to give face to the Queen.

Furthermore, newcomers really cannot be left out in the cold all the time.

"The newcomer's performance is acceptable, but I am busy. I have received the Queen's intentions and I understand them."

The queen stopped talking and said no more.

Dinner was just ready, and the Queen served Yinzhen dinner. In the evening, Yinzhen stayed in Jingren Palace.

The next day, the green card from Jingshifang came in handy.

The first person to be called was Ulanara Changzai. Yinzhen knew Ulanara's plan very well. If she could get pregnant, Yinzhen would not mind having another child with Ulanara's bloodline.

With the first person, everything became normal afterwards.

But maybe the newcomer was too "new", and Yinzhen didn't know why, but he showed a little more favor to Jiayue.

Jiayue accepted this well.

Anyway, she has passed the first hurdle and accepted it.

Although Yinzhen is not very handsome, he is different from Fatty Ju. He is just forty years old and has taken good care of himself, so he looks pretty good.

Jiayue was not young anymore, so she could accept it.

Days like this are relatively peaceful, and just like that, summer has arrived.

"Last year, I heard from the Emperor that we could go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the heat in the summer, but I don't know when we can go, as the weather is getting hotter and hotter."

"I did hear that when the emperor was still a prince, he would go to escape the summer heat with Emperor Kangxi around this time. It's well known that the emperor suffers from summer heat, so I think it should be soon."

Jiayue can't stand the heat. It was okay last year because of the special circumstances, but this year she couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

"I hope it will be soon! I am an adult, so this weather will be uncomfortable at best. Hong Zhao is still a child, so he has to be careful not to use too much ice. It would be a pain."

Children are more likely to catch colds in the summer! Children from wealthy families are prone to affluence because of the slight changes in temperature.

Although Yinzhen had no shortage of ice, he did feel the summer heat.

Just two days after Jiayue started talking about it, the Queen announced that she was going to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat.

As for the entourage, the current Old Summer Palace is no longer the garden of ten thousand gardens that was repaired and expanded by successive emperors. Although the current Old Summer Palace has been expanded a bit compared to the Kangxi period, the national treasury was not abundant, and Yinzhen did not carry out major renovations.

He didn't have many concubines in his harem, but it would have been a bit crowded if he had taken them all to the Old Summer Palace.

So he chose to take some people with him selectively.

The main concubines in the harem are naturally on the list. The only ones left are Ulanala Changzai, Zhao Changzai, Niuhulu Changzai, Fucha Changzai and Guwaljia Changzai.

These five people are considered to have received some favors recently.

Originally there was also a Concubine Lin, but she suddenly fell ill and had to stay in the palace to recuperate, so she did not come.

Baochun spoke of Concubine Lin with some regret, saying, "Concubine Lin is unlucky. She has to spend the summer in the palace, and her share of ice doesn't have much. I'm afraid she's going to have a hard time!"

Jiayue thought of Lin Changzai and smiled: "Maybe she did it on purpose!"

Baochun was stunned: "What do you mean, Madam?"

"When I was paying my respects a few days ago, I accidentally noticed that Concubine Lin's flower pot bottom was much shorter and she walked much slower. The palace servants around her occasionally showed a vigilant look when they looked at her."

Baochun is not stupid. He listened and thought about it.

"Madam, do you mean that Concubine Lin is pregnant?"

"It's hard to say. I'm not an imperial physician, and I didn't take her pulse, so I can't be sure."

"Then it is estimated that she is pregnant in nine out of ten cases. I didn't expect that it was Concubine Lin who got the first place without any noise. I thought it was Concubine Ulanala or Concubine Zhao!"

"As for pregnancy, it's not like the more favors you have, the more likely you are to get pregnant. Concubine Lin is very careful when she's pregnant, but I don't know what the emperor would think if he knew."

When she was pregnant, the situation was special. After all, it was the period of mourning for Emperor Kangxi, and there was no imperial physician or doctor to diagnose her pulse, so she kept it a secret.

The reason Lin Changzai used was that he was sick.

The imperial physician said that the patient was ill and that Yinzhen would be happy if he could have a child later. However, it was hard to say whether he would be happy about the fact that Concubine Lin had kept the secret.
