Chapter 341 Consort Fucha
Hongchang's words silenced the court.
The ministers looked at each other, not daring to bring up the matter of having offspring again.
Hongchang smiled slightly and continued:
"I know you all have the Qing Dynasty in mind, but the matter of offspring is up to Heaven."
The Empress and I are both in good health and still young, so there is no need to rush.
"Only you should pay more attention to state affairs and contribute more to the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty."
After saying this, Hongchang then pointed out the faults of several court officials.
The court officials shrank back like quails, each one resembling a gourd with a sawed beak.
No one spoke further in the court, but some began sending letters to the inner palace.
They urged Consort Shu and others to get pregnant as soon as possible.
And implied that perhaps the Empress herself was infertile, and therefore used underhanded methods against them.
After receiving the letter from home, Consort Shu and others felt that their families knew nothing about the affairs of the inner palace.
If the Emperor and Empress found out, they would definitely be blamed by the Emperor.
The Emperor is still so young, and the court is so busy.
They were more concerned about the emperor's offspring than the emperor himself.
So early on you're already thinking about the merits of supporting the emperor?
They're really courting death.
The two empress dowagers weren't worried, but they were.
The Empress Dowager had long ago said that they were still young and there was no rush to have children.
The emperor was always busy with state affairs and rarely visited the inner palace.
In the two years since they entered the palace, they have been focused on their own careers, and the harem has been peaceful.
The sisters get along well and don't want these things to ruin their peaceful lives.
Consort Hesheli Wanqing hurriedly replied to her family.
"The Empress Dowager once said that the matter of having offspring should be left to nature, and that the Emperor and Empress have a harmonious relationship."
And since they are busy with the new policies, we should give our full support and do our part.
There's no need for your family to worry about this; don't bring it up again to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
The other concubines also wrote letters home, expressing the same sentiment.
Therefore, they could only suppress their thoughts and wait for a while before looking for an opportunity.
After all, they were genuinely afraid of being punished by the emperor.
Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan have been living in the Yuanmingyuan Garden for the past two years.
They handed over all the affairs of the palace to the Empress.
The Imperial Study in the palace had textbooks and courses prepared by Empress Fucha Peiyun.
She gradually handed it over to the Empress.
The Empress has handled these matters very well over the past two years.
This queen was very well chosen.
Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan spent their time leisurely in the Yuanmingyuan.
It was only when the previous dynasty mentioned the matter of the emperor's offspring that Fucha Peiyun remembered...
Hongchang and his family are getting old enough to start having children.
Fucha Peiyun did not return to the palace after remembering this matter.
He simply sent a message back to Hongchang, asking him to visit the Empress's palace more often.
With Hongchang's intelligence, he naturally understood what his mother meant.
As for the pills for conceiving sons or daughters, Fucha Peiyun said there was no need for them.
The Empress is in good health, and Hongchang is also fine.
In the past two years, Hongchang has simply entered the harem less often and has been intentionally using contraception.
This is why no children were born in the harem.
Fucha Peiyun didn't care whether the Empress gave birth to a boy or a girl.
Upon receiving Fucha Peiyun's letter, Hongchang smiled slightly, understanding his mother's intention.
Wanyi was exactly what he wanted, but his mother said that women shouldn't give birth too early.
In the past two years, his visits to the Empress's palace have mostly been for rest.
In addition to his busy schedule with government affairs, he rarely visited the inner palace.
He rarely visited the palaces of the six concubines.
Now that his mother wants to have a grandson, he naturally wants to fulfill her wish.
That evening, after court, Hongchang did not return directly to Qianqing Palace, but went straight to Kunning Palace.
Liang Wanyi was organizing some palace documents with the help of palace maids.
Upon hearing that Hongchang had arrived, they quickly stood up to greet him.
Hongchang entered the hall and saw Liang Wanyi's busy figure.
A warm feeling welled up in my heart, and I said softly:
"Wanyi, why are you still busy with this? You should take a break."
Liang Wanyi smiled slightly and said softly:
"Your Majesty, if I do more of these things, it will save you some trouble."
"You are very busy with official duties, so I will help in any way I can."
Hongchang stepped forward, gently took her hand, his eyes filled with tenderness:
"Silly girl, your health is important too."
These things can be done slowly later; don't tire yourself out.
Liang Wanyi felt a warmth in her heart and asked softly:
"Why has Your Majesty come to my humble abode so early today?"
Hongchang smiled slightly and said softly:
"My mother wrote to say that we should pay more attention to having children."
These past two years have been so busy with official duties that I've neglected you.
Liang Wanyi's face flushed slightly as she whispered:
"Your Majesty, I understand. Your Majesty, I comprehend you."
Hongchang held Liang Wanyi's hand and said, "I am very fortunate to have chosen you as my empress."
"I am very satisfied, and Mother is also very satisfied with you."
Liang Wanyi was delighted to hear Hongchang's words.
"Your Majesty, I am also very fortunate to be your Empress."
Your Majesty, I will work even harder so that you don't have to worry about the harem.
However, the matter of having offspring is beyond my control.
Hongchang comforted him, "Don't worry, both I and the Empress Dowager know."
I will visit you more often, and my mother-in-law also said to let things take their course.
Sure enough, Hongchang frequently visited Kunning Palace in the days that followed.
Less than two months later, Liang Wanyi's belly began to show signs of pregnancy.
She realized it herself, and felt both nervous and expectant. She quickly told Hongchang about it.
Upon hearing this, Hongchang was overjoyed and immediately ordered the imperial physician to examine Liang Wanyi's pulse.
After examining the Empress's pulse, the imperial physician confirmed that she was indeed pregnant.
Hongchang was overjoyed and immediately ordered someone to deliver the good news.
Send it to Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan at Yuanmingyuan.
Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan were both very happy to receive the news.
Fucha Peiyun was naturally delighted to see her grandchildren.
At first, Nian Shilan felt somewhat uncomfortable because Hongchang was the son of Da Pangju.
But over the years she watched Hongchang grow up, and Hongchang treated her almost like his own mother.
Human hearts are made of flesh and blood, and Nian Shilan gradually came to regard Hongchang as her own child.
Now that Hongchang is finally going to have a child, she is naturally very happy.
It had been a long time since a newborn had been born in the palace, so this pregnancy of the Empress was an extremely joyous occasion.
Speaking of Hongshi, the son of the chubby orange tree, no one in the household was pregnant before Hongli was imprisoned.
There was no good news from Hongshi and Hongzhou's residence either.
Consort Qi and Consort Yu have tried every possible method over the years.
Still no good news.
Instead, it worsened their already poor health.
They had no choice but to give up; the two of them have aged considerably over the years.
The two have been deeply devoted to Buddhism for years, hoping only that their son and daughter, Hongshi and Hongzhou, will have one or two children.
Ultimately, this all stems from the ceiling malfunctions that Ulanara Yixiu performed back then.
This caused health problems for everyone from Hongli to Hongshi and Hongzhou.
If it weren't for Fucha Peiyun back then, Hongchang would probably have ended up like them.
However, Hongchang was healthier than them all, and had been practicing martial arts for many years.
They are naturally far superior to them.
Princesses Shuhe and Wenyi, among others, were already of marriageable age.
But neither Fucha Peiyun nor the others urged them.
The Qing Dynasty no longer needed princesses for political marriages.
Fucha Peiyun and Hongchang both hoped that they could find good partners.
Therefore, the marriages of Princess Shuhe and Princess Wenyi have not yet been finalized.
They're currently busy either practicing martial arts or studying medicine.
Anyway, everyone is very busy
Recently, he even followed Amur back to Dzungar.
I went to Mongolia for a trip.
