After finishing these words, Concubine Jing closed her eyes tightly and buried her head deeply and feebly.

Jingyang Palace is already remote, and most of the concubines living there are not favored.

Zhaojia, a Bu noble who lived in the East Side Hall, gave birth to the third princess Yilmu during the mourning period of Emperor Hesheli of the Yuan Dynasty. As the principal, she had a dull temperament and did not please the Lord Long Live. When she learned that

After Cheng Guiren, who lived in the West Side Hall, became pregnant, she was so happy that she immediately asked her experienced nanny to help her

She was sent to take good care of her, and she hoped with all her heart that Dai Jia would give birth to a healthy little brother, so that she could hold her up to her knees. Unexpectedly, she had been looking forward to it for ten months as summer passed and autumn came, and autumn ended and winter came.

Here comes a little brother who is born with leg problems...

"Khan Amma!"

Yinreng felt the coldness coming from his Khan Ama's body, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand and gently pulled his bright yellow sleeves and shouted again.

There are earth dragons burning in the side hall, and there is a charcoal pot not far away. The fine red charcoal burns brightly red, and a few sparks pop out from time to time. It is as warm as early spring.

Like, and Kangxi had not yet taken off the black mink cloak he wore, but he felt as if his heart was soaked in the frozen river water in the cold winter, and it was extremely cold from the inside to the outside.

No matter how conceited he was, he couldn't help but feel panic in his heart. A child with a disability could be said to be the mother's carelessness during pregnancy, but two children with a disability followed closely behind, and they also deliberately chose the day of the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated by everyone.

, could it be that he really has bad moral character and is a warning from God?

Kangxi's eyes moved downward, his eyelids were half closed, and the look in his eyes dimmed.

"emperor?"

Qingyan, who was standing aside, could see that Kangxi was in really bad condition, so she freed up a hand to push his arm gently, biting her lower lip and unable to stop sighing in her heart.

In her previous life, she had seen children with congenital defects when she was a nursery nurse at the base. This kind of thing is actually difficult for people to accept in future generations with open minds. Not only will the family members be heartbroken, but most of the children with birth defects will

The psychology is also very sensitive and fragile

Weak, even if outsiders just take a look at their body parts out of curiosity, it is likely to be an additional burden and harm to the parties involved, not to mention that now the emperor has to issue an edict to his subjects.

Feudal superstition is ancient...

"First take good care of the two little brothers."

Kangxi gradually came back to his senses when he heard Concubine Jing's voice. He clenched his hands hanging on both sides of his body and said these words with all his strength. Then he staggered towards the outside of the palace, following

Liang Jiugong behind him saw this and hurriedly took steps to catch up.

Qingyan looked at Kangxi's back with complicated eyes, and the little prince also took two steps forward. She realized that Khan Ama might be going to Cining Palace to find their mother Ukumar, so she stopped and looked at her.

Looking at him worriedly.

After Kangxi left, the thick cotton door curtain was lowered again, and the entire side hall was still eerily quiet.

Xiaosi glanced down again and saw that the sixth brother had his eyes closed and his mouth curled up, as if he was hungry. He immediately put his left arm around the concubine's neck and pointed at the golden girl with his other hand.

The baby said in a milky voice:

"Mom, the sixth baby is going to drink from grandma."

"Mommy, please take my little brother down to breastfeed him first."

Qingyan also looked at the baby and said to Nanny Tong.

"Hey, slave, let's go right now."

Nanny Tong nodded hurriedly and glanced at Concubine Tong without leaving any trace, hoping that this woman who could live in peace would not cause any more trouble. Then she stretched out her right hand to lift the beige cotton door curtain of the delivery room and went in to look for her.

Nanny has breastfed the little brother.

"Sister Jingbin, please get up quickly."

Qingyan saw Wang Jia still kneeling on the ground with a dejected face and said to her with a headache.

Bai Lu, who was standing behind her, also hurriedly walked over, stretched out her arms, bent down and carefully helped Concubine Jing up.

"Haha~ A noble concubine calls a concubine sister? It's really worth it!"

Concubine Tong, who was originally very scared, worried that her concubine would give birth to a child with a disability because she used the birth secret pill of the previous dynasty, but when she heard that the same thing happened in the palace of the concubine Wang Jia,

The situation was like the thick clouds that originally shrouded Chengqian Palace were torn into two pieces by the strong wind, and one piece floated to the Jingyang Palace in the northeast corner, and the pressure on her shoulders disappeared out of thin air.

It has dropped by more than half, and now when I see little Hesheli calling her "Sister Tong Fei", but calling Wang Jia "Sister Jingbi", I feel angry in my heart and start to speak sarcastically about Qingyan.

Qingyan herself saw Concubine Tong crying until her eyes were as red and swollen as walnuts, and she didn't want to pay attention to her. She never expected that she would just start to feel better when she was nosy, jumping to her own business.

His presence is evident in front of him.

She was also in a bad mood at this time. Knowing that the most supportive person in the palace was worried that her second cousin mother and son would be bullied in the Chengqian Palace, she glanced around and said in a cold, sonorous tone:

"No matter how different my little brother looks, I would like to remind you that this is a prince! His surname is Aisin Gioro! He will definitely not be ignored by the people below. Moreover, Tong Guiren gave birth to a dragon heir.

Those who have meritorious deeds in the Forbidden City must not be treated harshly! I will be the first to talk ugly words. If someone dares to talk nonsense outside, then the large and small torture instruments of the Shenxing Department are not vegetarian.

See the blood! Do you all understand?"

"My servant/slave/little minister understands."

Concubine Jing has been gentle to the outside world for a long time, and the people in the palace have almost forgotten that she was the ruthless person who dared to kick the crown prince's nanny several meters away when she just entered the palace and her foundation was not yet stable. Now, unexpectedly, they heard that the concubine Jing's wife was

He beat her severely, and the eunuchs, maids, nuns, and doctors surrounding the side hall hurriedly bowed down and responded respectfully.

"The imperial concubine is so majestic, isn't she? It's not enough for you in the Chuxiu Palace? Why do you come here to yell at the people in the Chengqian Palace?"

When Concubine Tong heard Qingyan's words, she felt a sudden surge of anger in her heart. Her pretty face turned red with anger, and she felt that little Hesheli was slapping the palace people on the surface, but in fact he was criticizing Huai.

, scolding himself, and then he was so angry that he rushed over a few steps, trembling with anger, grabbed Concubine Jing's arm firmly with his sharp-nailed hands, and cursed hurriedly.

Concubine Jing, who was helped up by Bai Lu and stood not far from the door of the side hall, couldn't understand why the cousins ​​suddenly got into trouble.

"He Zhu'er, Zhang Tianxi will seal the Chengqian Palace. Before the emperor's decree comes, the little brother's situation cannot be revealed."

Qingyan did not turn her head to look at Concubine Tong, but just used a little strength to throw her hand away. Concubine Tong, who was wearing flowerpot-soled shoes, could not stand for a moment and directly slipped to the ground, with a sudden "snap".

He fell on the carpet with a strong smell of blood, pink and white embroidered with plum blossoms.

The winter robe was also stained with a large red mark by the wet blood. The sleeves of the winter robe were dotted with a circle of fluffy and soft white rabbit fur. They were also soaked with blood at this time, and several strands were dirty and stuck together.

Paired with Concubine Tong's already crying makeup, the whole person looked miserable.

"Hesheli Qingyan! How dare you! I am a concubine, and you sealed her at your request?"

Concubine Tong got up from the carpet and angrily shouted at Qingyan with bloodshot eyes.

Qingyan ignored her and directly called Bai Lu and others to open the cotton curtain, stepped over the threshold, and exited the side hall. However, Xiaosi, who was lying on her shoulder, happened to meet Concubine Tong's terrifying gaze.

Xiaosi was so frightened that he quickly turned his little head forward.

The little prince who was following Qingyan also turned to look at Concubine Tong before going out. His face was extremely ugly. On the one hand, he disliked Khan Ama's taste for not being good enough. On the other hand, he hoped that Khan Ama could

Come back and open his eyes so that he can see with his own eyes

Seeing how duplicitous the concubines in their harem really were, without Qingyan and Kangxi knowing, Yinreng and Xiaosi decided that they would never want too many women in their backyard in the future, especially those who initiated Concubine Tong.

It’s really scary to go crazy!

When a group of people walked outside, they discovered that the snowflakes in the sky were getting bigger and denser, and the sky was extremely dim against the few clear and slender ice skates hanging from the golden glazed tiles.

, Chengqian Palace and Jingyang Palace both belong to the Sixth East Palace. The two palaces are not too far apart. Everyone walked to Jingyang Palace in the northeast corner without saying a word.

In such a cold weather, many people in the Forbidden City are hiding in their palaces. Where is Maodong?

, even the spread of news has been slowed down by the weather.

When the other concubines in the palace learned that Tong Guiren and Cheng Guiren both gave birth to a little brother on the same day, it was already approaching the Youshi hour, and before they had time to react, they learned that in the afternoon, the Emperor, Concubine Jing, and the Crown Prince

, the concubines Jing ran to Chengqian Palace one after another. Not long after the emperor left, Concubine Jing and the prince, concubine Jing hurried to Jingyang Palace, but these two

However, the palace did not follow the usual practice of granting a reward, and also immediately closed the palace urgently. This suddenly aroused everyone's curiosity and wanted to know what happened in the palace of Concubine Tong and Concubine Jing.

What happened, and how could it be so abnormal? However, Concubine Jing sent people to seal the palace too quickly, and the spies sent out were not able to find out any information.

At the same time, the Queen Mother, who was reciting Buddhist scriptures in the small Buddhist hall of Cining Palace in the west, suddenly felt a chest tightness and shortness of breath. After finding that she could not concentrate, she had no choice but to stagger out of the small Buddhist hall holding a dragon-head crutch.

.

When Aunt Sumala, who was waiting outside, saw her, she hurriedly stepped forward and helped her sit on the soft couch.

"Suma, do you think this is strange? When the Ai family is reading Buddhist scriptures, they can't stop reading. Their right eyelid keeps beating and they can't calm down."

The Queen Mother frowned and murmured in confusion.

When Aunt Sumala heard her words, she couldn't control her emotions for a moment, and the hand holding her arm couldn't help but pause.

The two people had been getting along for a lifetime and were naturally very familiar with each other. The Queen Mother felt a bad premonition when she felt Aunt Sumala's hesitation and immediately asked:

"What happened in the palace again?"

Aunt Sumala also knew that this matter could not be hidden. After helping her master to the soft couch and watching her sit down firmly, she whispered with some heartache:

"Master, the imperial concubine Xingjin recently sent someone to report that it was Guiren Tong and Guiren Cheng who gave birth to your sixth and seventh great-grandsons."

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi is weak?"

The Empress Dowager raised her head and looked at the frowning confidants beside her and guessed.

Aunt Sumala glanced at the Empress Dowager, then shook her head unbearably and continued:

"The sixth brother and the seventh brother have good bodies, but they are really unlucky. There is something wrong with the sixth brother's hands. He has six fingers on his left hand and one is missing on his right hand. And the seventh brother is missing.
