Chapter 357: Just blind loyalty, not vicious.
Chapter 357: Just blind loyalty, not vicious.
It’s better to wait until Fu Cha gives birth and then consider everything carefully.
Save the people first.
For the sake of my brother's reputation, I have to protect it.
The imperial kitchen sent eight-treasure cake, millet porridge, white fungus soup, etc. for the masters to eat.
Songzhi asked Lanzhi to bring in a bowl of hot millet porridge and feed it to Fucha, who agreed to drink it.
Another half hour passed, and now it was bright outside. Fu Cha Da Ying was so tired that he fainted.
Wei Lin pricked him three times with a gold needle in his philtrum before he finally woke up.
The midwife was secretly arranged by Concubine Hua a long time ago, and Wei Lin is also her own man, so now she can only do her best and leave the rest to fate.
Everyone quickly ate a few bites of the Eight Treasures Cake outside, accompanied by some millet porridge, and then put it down.
Even the greediest Chun Changzai can't enjoy her food now.
The two ladies in the palace were keeping her in check. She had just been acting recklessly and offended Aunt Zhang.
Now, she was a little scared of how the Queen would punish her after this incident.
Previously, because of his greed, he ate a few more bites of delicious food in Concubine Hua's palace, and was severely punished by the Queen. He could only eat light porridge and side dishes for several days and nights.
The Queen doesn't like herself getting too close to Concubine Hua. How should she explain the current situation?
It's true that he stepped forward in the critical situation just now, and it's also true that he's being cowardly now.
But will Sister Fucha really give birth to a baby?
Chun Changzai stared at a piece of Eight Treasures Cake with only one bite taken.
An Lingrong looked at her and knew that Chun Changzai was frightened because of the person who had just contradicted the Queen.
An Lingrong handed her a bowl of Tremella soup and said soothingly, "You got up too early today. You are still young. After paying your respects to the Queen, go back to your room and get some sleep."
As Fang Chunyi listened to Sister An's words, an idea suddenly flashed in his confused mind.
She stood up and stammered, "Empress Qi, Empress Hua, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'll leave for a while."
Fang Chunyi ran outside excitedly.
Hua Fei rested her elbows on the table, her jade hands on her forehead and closed her eyes for a nap.
Cuiguo rubbed Concubine Qi's shoulders. He had not had a single piece of good flesh on his body recently, but he still came after hearing Fu Cha's promise.
She had played mahjong with Fu Cha Da Ying several times before. Not from the perspective of palace fighting, but just from the perspective of getting along between women, Concubine Qi liked getting along with Fu Cha Da Ying very much.
Wei Lin was busy in the bedroom with several experienced midwives.
Fu Cha's breathing became much calmer when she agreed. She heard Wei Lin say that the baby's position was now correct.
To be honest, Fu Cha didn't feel any difference whether he agreed or not, it was still painful anyway.
But Fu Cha agreed and felt that he was very lucky. In his current situation, he still had three or four experienced maids and a steady and reliable imperial physician. They were all as tired as he was, sweating profusely.
Even if it is for the sacrifices made by this group of people, I still have to fight for my dignity.
Wei Lin had just told me that the baby was big and it would be difficult to give birth.
But as long as she pushes hard, she can still give birth.
It's really ridiculous. When I was detained in the Yanxi Palace because of the epidemic, the fetus was smaller than usual. But after these days, the fetus has become bigger again.
After she gives birth, I must find a way to investigate thoroughly.
After adjusting his breathing and drinking a bowl of millet porridge to restore his strength, Fu Cha agreed to put the handkerchief in his mouth and started to work hard again.
She was feeling embarrassed just now, but when she pushed hard, something that shouldn't have come out came out.
But the maids were not surprised at all. After cleaning up, they let her continue to push with unchanged expressions.
Chun'er ran out of the main hall and returned to the side hall where she lived.
Sure enough, Nanny Zhang was resting in the servants' room, drinking cold tea.
"Young lady, why are you back?" Nanny Zhang said this in a neither-so-good-nor-false tone.
"Hehehe." Chun'er walked towards Aunt Zhang with a bright and beautiful smile on her face. "Aunt, why are you still resting here? Now is our chance to make a name for ourselves in front of the Empress."
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she immediately smiled happily and stood up to ask Fang Chunyi what this meant.
"Mammy blamed me for acting on my own initiative and meddling in other people's affairs. Luckily, I went into Sister Fucha's palace to take a look. Now, I don't know what's going on with the Empress' Jingren Palace. Until now, no one has come to check on Sister Fucha."
"It's still unknown whether Sister Fucha gave birth to a prince or a princess. If it's a prince, the Emperor will be overjoyed and will investigate this morning's incident in anger. He will definitely punish the Empress for her negligence."
Nanny Zhang listened to Fang Chunyi's analysis and asked, "What does the young lady mean?"
"Oh, Mammy, why don't you understand? Go to Jingren Palace now and inform Aunt Songzhi, and have her inform the Empress."
Fang Chunyi stamped his feet a few times in pretending to be anxious, and whispered into Aunt Zhang's ear.
Fang Chunyi knew that Nanny Zhang stopped her from interfering in other people's affairs because if the Queen knew that she was close to Hua Fei's faction, she would definitely punish Nanny Zhang.
Nanny Zhang was anxious because she was afraid that she would be blamed by the Queen.
Now that Fang Chunyi had made it clear, his heart was naturally exploded.
"My lady is smart. I'll go right away." As soon as Aunt Zhang left, Fang Chunyi followed her out of the room.
If An Changzai hadn't reminded him, Fang Chunyi would not have thought of this.
No matter what, let Nanny Zhang give her a reminder so that the Queen will trust herself more.
Why is it so difficult to lie down in this harem?
Before, when the Queen asked her to learn poetry and songs, she could still fool people by pretending to be stupid.
But this time, after investigation, it was really hard to fool people.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhang is just loyal and not cruel.
I can still get by by muddling through this day.
Fang Chunyi brought Cui Yu back to the main hall.
Fu Cha agreed and continued to work hard.
Another hour passed.
Zhu Xi from Shoukang Palace came over and, in accordance with the Empress Dowager's order, asked Concubine Hua to be fully responsible for ensuring that Fu Cha agreed to give birth.
"I obey your order." Concubine Hua was not surprised to hear the order brought by Zhu Xi.
Fucha has agreed now, but the staff arranged for her are all based on the resources of a concubine.
Whether it is manpower or resources, she will naturally provide them.
What else does the Fucha family have now?
What's more, the fact that the Queen Mother entrusted this matter to me doesn't necessarily mean that she trusts me or loves her grandson.
Fu Cha has been under house arrest for a long time and his physical condition is unpredictable. If he encounters danger, it will naturally be Concubine Hua who will bear the responsibility, and it will have nothing to do with her beloved niece Yixiu.
If she had not encountered any danger and had given birth safely, she would have had another grandson or half-granddaughter.
On the surface, in the eyes of everyone in the harem, the Queen Mother's recognition and appreciation of the abilities of Concubine Hua, who was about to be promoted to Imperial Concubine, was paving the way for Concubine Hua to establish her prestige and virtue in becoming an Imperial Concubine in the future.
Not everyone could have imagined that although the queen's status seemed to be threatened, she was actually firmly protected by the empress dowager.
