Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 186 Chang Zai's Promotion 16

After listening to the opera, her face had darkened. Then it was time to watch the fireworks. The fireworks show was carefully arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Ji Huan felt drowsy. The difference in technology made Ji Huan feel that the fireworks were ordinary. However, everyone except her was fascinated by the show.

The fireworks were beautiful, but she had seen better.

The fireworks viewing session ended quickly and nothing happened during that time.

The dinner began.

Ji Huan was very curious. Seeing that the birthday banquet was about to end, but Concubine Xian was still fine, could it be that he was not going to attack Concubine Xian anymore, or...

She looked at today's protagonist, Concubine Chun. Maybe the person behind the scenes didn't want to ruin this birthday party?

She ate the dinner carefully prepared by the imperial kitchen, and the taste was delicious. The food culture of the Qing Dynasty was very close to that of modern times, with even richer ingredients and more diverse tastes. While Jihuan was eating with satisfaction, she secretly focused her attention on Concubine Xian.

Until we finished eating and were about to leave, nothing happened.

When preparing to go out, Ji Huan was highly focused. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her intelligence. The closer it got to the end, the more likely anything could happen.

"System, help me keep an eye on the pregnant Concubine Xian."

I originally thought that I could try to save her, gain some reputation, and maybe even get a promotion. But it was late at night, and even though the palace servants were holding lanterns, it was still dim overall.

She didn't dare get close to Concubine Xian again.

It is true that she is favored now, but she is just a minor noble after all. This time she came to the Old Summer Palace with the lowest rank and little experience, and she is quite afraid of being used as a tool.

So she fell behind.

Also with her was Concubine Qing.

"Why don't you walk faster, sister?"

Ji Huan raised an eyebrow: "I just ate a lot, so I'll walk slowly so that I can digest the food. Besides, there are so many empresses in front of me, and it's not good for me to walk ahead of them."

"That's true, but it's dark here, so it's better to walk slowly for safety." Concubine Qing replied with a smile.

Ji Huan smiled and replied: "Who said it wasn't!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a sharp cry.

"Ah~~~"

"Who bumped into me?!"

Several concubines fell down one after another in front.

The incident happened so suddenly that Ji Huan and Concubine Qing were stunned on the spot. Emperor Qianlong and the Empress were walking in front and were also stunned when they heard the noise behind them, but they reacted quickly.

Qianlong came over angrily: "What's going on?"

The concubines who fell to the ground had not had time to get up. Just as they were about to answer, they heard Concubine Xian holding her stomach and saying, "My stomach hurts. It hurts so much."

Then Concubine Xian's personal maid exclaimed: "Blood, the queen is bleeding."

There were many pregnant women present, and when they saw this situation, they immediately knew that Concubine Xian was probably having a miscarriage.

Ji Huan's face showed fear and panic similar to that of Concubine Qing. In fact, she was not particularly calm at all. It happened too suddenly and she was not prepared at all.

"System, I want to know what happened in the chaos just now?"

"It was the maidservant beside Concubine Chun who tripped Concubine Xian's maidservant, and then you saw it."

The center of gravity at the bottom of the flowerpot was unstable, and soon a large piece of it fell over. Concubine Xian fell from a staircase that had only three steps. If it were normal, she would be fine after resting, but Concubine Xian was pregnant, and then she had a miscarriage.

Ji Huan was not surprised to hear that it was Concubine Chun. If she were asked to arrange it, it would be better to arrange it while watching the fireworks. Everyone's attention would be on the fireworks, and if there was any trouble, it would ruin Concubine Chun's birthday party.

Kill two birds with one stone.

But the result was that Concubine Xian had a miscarriage at the end of the birthday banquet. Although it might be a bit unlucky for Concubine Chun, the process was beautiful. As for the result?

She is also half a victim, who would doubt her!

Besides, no one knew openly that Concubine Xian was pregnant.

Ji Huan was also convinced by Concubine Chun's methods. She gave birth to two sons and one daughter, all of whom were raised. Her background was considered the lowest in the harem. She was born in a commoner family, a legitimate Han Chinese, not a Han military banner. She entered the palace and served as a princess. Even though Emperor Qianlong, who was the Prince Bao, arranged for her to be a bondservant.

If she didn't have the means, she wouldn't have raised two sons and a daughter and become a royal concubine.

Qianlong and the empress came closer and roughly understood what was going on. The empress hurriedly said, "Come here, carry the sedan chair to send Concubine Xian back, and quickly go get the imperial physician."

Qianlong listened to the queen's thoughtful arrangements, nodded, looked at the messy scene, and said immediately: "You all go back first, I and the queen will go to Concubine Xian."

Concubine Chun had already gotten up, her face pale, and she said softly, "Your Majesty, I will go see Concubine Xian, too!"

Qianlong saw that she looked unhappy, thought that today was her birthday, and remembered that she had just fallen, so he comforted her: "Jingyan, you go back first, I will go with the queen, today is your birthday, I will visit you tomorrow."

Concubine Chun said considerately: "Sister Concubine Xian's health is more important. Your Majesty, please spend more time with your sister. I will be fine."

"I know you are sensible. I will visit you tomorrow. I saw you fell just now. I will ask Li Yu to take you back! I will also ask someone to call a doctor to check you out."

"Then I thank the emperor for his concern."

Qianlong comforted Concubine Chun and took the Queen to Concubine Xian.

Concubine Qing grabbed Jihuan's hand and said in shock: "Is Concubine Xian pregnant?"

Ji Huan shook her head: "Who knows! But what exactly happened just now, sister, did you see it clearly?"

Concubine Qing shook her head: "It's dark. Although we are at the back, there are many people in the middle! How can we see clearly what happened? Concubine Xian is a straight-forward person. She manages the harem rules and regulations a lot. I hope she will be fine!"

Ji Huan nodded: "Yes, I hope that Concubine Xian will be fine."

But she felt that Concubine Xian might not get better.

She sighed: "It's getting late, I'll go back first. A lot of things happened today, I'm afraid there will be more to talk about tomorrow, so you should go back and have some rest soon!"

"My sister is right. It's time to go back."

This matter has little to do with them. They both have low positions, but having a low position has its advantages. They walk at the back and it won't be their turn if anything happens.

After bidding farewell to Concubine Qing, Jihuan returned to Natural Painting, and Shuxiang hurried forward to greet him.

"My lady, I just heard that Concubine Xian might have had a miscarriage. What happened at the banquet?"

Ji Huan shook his head: "Let's go in and talk."

Jihuan entered the room and washed up first, then called Shuxiang and Qingyin in.

"Do you remember the last time we investigated Concubine Xian's imperial physician? Let's investigate Concubine Chun!"

"My lady, what you mean is that Concubine Xian's crime might have been done by Concubine Chun. Why? Today is Concubine Chun's birthday. Isn't Concubine Chun afraid that every birthday in the future will remind the emperor that Concubine Xian lost a child?"

Shuxiang and Qingyin didn't quite understand why Concubine Chun did this. Even if Concubine Xian lost her child, wouldn't she feel unlucky?

Ji Huan thought of the scene where Emperor Qianlong comforted Concubine Chun and shook his head: "No, on Concubine Chun's birthday in the future, the Emperor will only pity Concubine Chun even more."

Shuxiang and Qingyin were confused and didn't quite understand.

Ji Huan smiled and said: "Our emperor..." His train of thought is very strange!

She didn't say the rest.

"By the way, let's check what happened before Concubine Chun served the emperor!"

"Noble Concubine Chun has served the Emperor for quite some time, so it may be difficult to investigate."

“Check as much as you can.”

She felt that Concubine Chun had something on her mind.

Qianlong did not call many concubines by their maiden names. Although they were all noble concubines, Qianlong called Noble Concubine Xian Noble Concubine Xian and Noble Concubine Chun Jingyan, which was almost the same treatment as the empress.
