Chapter 152 Concubine Chun Gives Birth to a Child
Wei Yingluo cut the yellow silk with her golden scissors, then swung them vigorously, causing the fragments to float into the air like snowflakes.
When these pieces of satin fell to the ground, they miraculously formed four big words - May you live forever.
This surprise ending was amazing and became the perfect end to the banquet.
Amid the cheers from the whole room, Liu Baizhi returned to Concubine Chun with a pale face and opened her mouth, wanting to explain something.
But Concubine Chun spoke first and said coldly: "I gave you a chance, but I didn't expect you couldn't even do such a simple thing. Get out of here!"
Concubine Chun had always wanted to find an opportunity to attack Wei Yingluo, and now that she has failed again, the resentment in her heart has grown even stronger.
Liu Baizhi lowered her head and quietly retreated, cursing in her heart: "This Wei Yingluo is indeed not an easy character to deal with."
After the banquet, Wei Yingluo took great pains to ask Xiao Quanzi to find out Liu Baizhi's origins.
After some investigation, Wei Yingluo finally learned that Liu Baizhi was a new maid in the imperial kitchen. Because she was good at making Jiangnan dishes, she was appreciated by Concubine Chun, so she gradually became a personal maid beside Concubine Chun.
In addition, due to the Queen's plea, although Concubine Gao's mother had passed away for many years, because she had accompanied Gao Bin to control floods and made contributions to the Qing Dynasty, the court decided to posthumously confer her the title of First-Rank Lady and allowed her to enter the Gao family ancestral hall to enjoy the incense and offerings of Gao family descendants.
Concubine Gao's long-cherished wish came true, but when she learned the news, she was stunned and her face was full of shock.
She never thought that the person who would help her realize her wish would be the one she had always regarded as her "enemy". Having lost her obsession, Gao Ningxin felt lost at the moment.
A few days later, Empress Fucha was sitting in Changchun Palace, leisurely trimming the jasmine flowers outside the palace.
Suddenly, Qingyun came running over and excitedly shouted to Mingyu, "Mingyu, have you heard? The emperor just summoned the top three candidates for this year's imperial examination! I heard that the top candidate is very handsome, even better than the third place candidate!"
Mingyu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Wow? Has anyone seen him? Qingyun, tell us what he looks like!"
The other little palace maids also gathered around, their faces full of curiosity and anticipation.
Seeing this, Wei Yingluo couldn't help but laugh: "You little nymphomaniacs!"
Upon hearing this, Qingyun immediately retorted, "Humph, you have Lord Fucha, so of course you won't be as curious as we are! But, even if you just take a look from a distance, it's a kind of happiness!" Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyun started chattering with everyone about the appearance of this top scholar.
At this time, Mingyu asked again: "What's the name of the champion?" Qingyun scratched his head and replied: "It seems... Oh, I didn't ask!"
Everyone laughed even more happily after hearing this.
Because Concubine Chun was pregnant, the emperor's order to find a lady from a noble family was delayed for a long time.
But on this day, one month after she gave birth, she finally followed the emperor's instructions and found a new lady from a noble family for Fu Heng, so she went to Changchun Palace to meet the queen.
"Empress!" Mingyu suddenly rushed in from outside.
She was always so impetuous that she didn't even bother to greet him, and she couldn't wait to speak:
"Concubine Chun gave birth to the sixth prince. The little prince had a full forehead. The Empress Dowager was extremely happy when she saw him and personally named him Yongrong."
After hearing this, the Queen was slightly stunned at first, then the corners of her mouth slowly rose, revealing a faint smile, and chuckled softly:
"Yongrong, Yongrong, wearing a jade pendant, it can be seen that the Queen Mother really loves this child very much."
"Empress!" However, Mingyu suddenly became angry, with obvious dissatisfaction and deep resentment in her tone.
"In the past, Concubine Chun always came to our Changchun Palace frequently, and her attentiveness was impeccable. But since she won the emperor's favor, she has never come again!
Now such important news, our Changchun Palace is actually the last to know, it is really too much! This person really..."
The queen frowned slightly and gently scolded: "Mingyu, be careful with your words."
Mingyu quickly shut up, not daring to say another word, but an indignant look still appeared on her face.
The queen looked at her and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Mingyu was about to explode, but Wei Yingluo quickly pulled her back and said in a low voice, "Concubine Chun is here!"
All I could hear was the jingling of bracelets and ornaments, a sound so clear and pleasant that I could hear the sound of precious jades colliding with each other.
Concubine Chun held Yuhu's hand and walked slowly into Changchun Palace with an elegant but slightly slow gait.
Perhaps because she had just given birth, her figure was obviously fuller than before, and she had not yet recovered her former slim and slender figure.
Although she lacks some of the pure and lively spirit of her teenage years, she has added a touch of mature charm that is unique to young women. Just like a ripe peach, it not only has an attractive color, but also exudes an irresistible charm.
Concubine Chun bowed slightly, saluted to the Queen, and said softly, "I respectfully wish the Queen good health."
Empress Fucha has always been magnanimous, and this time she did not bear any grudges at all.
Now that he had seen Concubine Chun, he felt genuinely happy and hurried forward to help her up: "Get up, you just gave birth to a child, there is no need to be so polite, sit down quickly."
Concubine Chun smiled slightly, with a somewhat tender look in her expression, and sat down without any hesitation.
She gently stroked her belly with her fingers and said in a tender voice, "Your Majesty, you are so caring and considerate. I am grateful to you. But I cannot lose my manners and act recklessly just because you are so tolerant and generous.
Your Majesty is the head of the Six Palaces, and I should have reported this important event to you as soon as possible..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Hu beside her could not wait to help out, "Empress, this is not my master's fault. My master suddenly fainted that day, and I quickly called the imperial physician to take her pulse, and then I realized that she was pregnant with a dragon heir.
I wanted to inform you earlier, but the master was too weak and had been lying on the sickbed for a long time, tossing and turning, so I missed the opportunity to report to you..."
After hearing this, the queen did not show any special reaction on her face, but Mingyu could not help but sneer.
Even Wei Yingluo couldn't help but frown, thinking to herself: After ten months of pregnancy, could she really lie on the sickbed for ten whole months?
You should know that from pregnancy to delivery, Concubine Chun never set foot in Changchun Palace.
On the contrary, the Queen was always concerned about Concubine Chun and often sent people to inquire about her.
