Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 848 Concubine Sun Qixian (51 reward points plus additional chapter)

July this year was a very busy month for the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department.

The second princess’s one-year-old birthday ceremony is on the fifth day of July.

The enthronement ceremony of Consort Chen will be on the tenth day of July.

The eldest princess’ fifth birthday is on July 19th.

Even Concubine Sun's expected date of birth was in early July...

Not only the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also everyone in the harem was watching.

July is destined to be an eventful month!

Of course, whether it was the Second Princess's one-year-old birthday ceremony, Consort Chen's enthronement ceremony, or the Eldest Princess's fifth birthday, the Ministry of Rites and the Internal Affairs Office had started preparing for it long ago, and no matter how busy they were, nothing would go wrong.

Just arrange it according to the distance in time.

The delivery room had already been set up in Zhongcui Palace, and the midwife and imperial physician were all ready.

No matter when Concubine Sun started, they were always well organized.

Zhongcui Palace.

Concubine Sun was talking to Shen Zhinian in the main hall with her bulging belly.

The closer the delivery date got, the more nervous she became.

According to the rules of the harem, the concubines living in the side halls had to get up early every day to pay their respects to the main queen. But after Concubine Sun became pregnant, Shen Zhinian exempted her from these cumbersome rules.

Even so, Concubine Sun still came to the main hall to talk and laugh with Shen Zhinian every two or three days.

She didn't dare come too often for fear of disturbing her sister, Concubine Chen.

But now, Concubine Sun goes to the main hall almost every day.

Today he sat next to her, holding her hand tightly, his eyes full of worry: "What should I do?"

"Sister Noble Concubine Chen, Imperial Doctor Tang said that I should give birth in the early part of this month. It's only a few days away. I, I, I'm really scared..."

After all, when a woman gives birth, she is like stepping into the gates of hell. If she has an accident, she will never see Concubine Chen again. What should she do?

If Zhu'er knew what Concubine Sun was thinking, she would probably go to Tang Luochuan to prescribe medicine for Concubine Sun.

At this time, why is the young lady still thinking about Concubine Chen...

Shen Zhinian held Concubine Sun's hand and said in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, Sister Sun."

"It's natural for a woman to be nervous when giving birth for the first time. I felt similar to you before I gave birth to Xu."

"Don't worry, I, Doctor Tang, and Nanny Lin are all here. They also said that your baby is in great shape and in the right position, so there shouldn't be any major problems during delivery."

"Look, I was able to give birth to Ah Xu so smoothly. The people who take care of you are the same people who take care of me. You can do it too!"

When Shen Zhinian spoke, his tone was neither hurried nor slow, with a calming force.

Feeling the warmth coming from her hand, Concubine Sun's pounding heart gradually calmed down: "Well, I believe in Sister Concubine Chen!"

Sister Concubine Chen is so nice. What would I do without her?

Concubine Sun's eyes were filled with emotion. She looked at Shen Zhinian and said, "Sister Concubine Chen also knows that I have a poor background. Before I was sold to the palace, I didn't even have a proper name."

"Later, the aunt who taught the music troupe in the palace saw that I played the pipa very well, so she gave me the name 'Qixian', which means a beautiful woman who plays beautiful string music."

"The luckiest thing that has ever happened to me, your concubine Sun Qixian, is meeting Sister Noble Concubine Chen!"

When saying this, Concubine Sun stared at Shen Zhinian without blinking, with an incomprehensible light in her eyes.

Shen Zhinian felt a little embarrassed by her look, and looked away and said, "We are sisters, there is no need to say these polite words."

After that, the two talked for a while. Not wanting to disturb Shen Zhinian, Concubine Sun stood up and left.

Zhu'er carefully helped her back to the side hall.

The young lady will give birth within ten days. The palace maids in Lanyuexuan are now extremely cautious, so she has to be alert too!

Shen Zhinian dealt with official business for a while, then looked at Fuqiu and asked, "How is the arrangement for the second princess's one-year-old ceremony going?"

Although the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were in charge of this matter, this grand banquet was held in the harem after all. Shen Zhinian was in charge of the six palaces, so naturally he also had responsibilities.

Even many things were decided by her.

Fuqiu stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

This is a big day for the second princess, and Shen Zhinian also knows that Concubine Xue attaches great importance to that day.

But Concubine Xue did not have the power over the six palaces and did not know the specific procedures and arrangements for the day of the Zhouzhou ceremony.

Shen Zhinian picked up the book on the table, stood up and walked out: "I will go to the Yanxi Palace to see Concubine Xue and the Second Princess, and ask her about the Second Princess's one-year-old ceremony and what else needs to be prepared."

Everyone immediately said, "Yes!"

"I will go and fetch Her Majesty's procession."

There was a barely perceptible smile on Nanny Xiao's face.

After serving the queen for nearly two years, she had come to realize that her queen was a person who had a cold exterior but a warm heart. She would be very kind to anyone she considered a friend.

Unlike many concubines in the harem, who appear to be sisters on the surface but stab her in the back with all their might.

Following a master like this makes people feel at ease!

Unlike countless palace maids, who knew too many secrets of their masters and ended up becoming ghosts in a dry well or corpses in a lotus pond, ending up with a miserable end.

Among the old sisters who served the Empress Dowager with her back then, perhaps she had the best ending.

……

Yanxi Palace.

The Queen usually looks cold and aloof, but recently everyone can feel that the Queen is in a very good mood and even has a smile on her face every day.

Everyone understands the reason.

Because when the second princess was just born, the imperial physician diagnosed that she was premature and weak, and no one knew if she could survive. The second princess had to be one year old before she could be saved.

There are still four or five days left before the day mentioned by the imperial physician, and by then the second princess will be completely safe!

For nearly a year, everyone has seen how the queen has personally taken care of the second princess in every detail.

The queen was already thin, and she lost even more weight due to this exhaustion.

But everyone noticed that the queen did not look haggard at all, but rather looked more energetic. Her eyes, which were always lifeless, burst into spring-like vitality again because of the second princess's arrival!

Everyone in the palace said that the queen was an excellent mother, who had raised the weak Second Princess so well. But for the queen, the Second Princess was also her salvation!

In the main hall.

Concubine Xue was holding the skinny little Second Princess in her arms and talking to her with a smile: "Nannan, in a few days it will be your one-year-old birthday."

"When she turns one year old, our little girl will grow up healthy and strong!"
