Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1113 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 39

Noble Lady Fucha was nineteen years old and had grown up. The strain on her body from pregnancy and childbirth was not that great, so the delivery went quite smoothly.

But the only problem was that Noble Lady Fucha was too afraid of pain, and the Fucha family did not ask for permission in advance to enter the garden to accompany her during childbirth. Jiang Xinxin was too lazy to be that confidant, so the only person around Noble Lady Fucha who could make her relax a little was the dowry maid Sang'er.

But Sang'er was an unmarried girl. Even though she had learned some things from the nanny in advance, she was still confused when the time came and had no idea what to do. Previously, she came out to cook for Noble Lady Fucha, but the midwife saw that she was in the way everywhere and sent her away with an excuse.

Upon hearing the news that Big Fat Orange was coming, Noble Lady Fucha deliberately shouted a few more times, which frightened the midwives so much that they wanted to cover her mouth directly to make her quiet down and save more energy.

Even if the situation was difficult, the midwives would conscientiously remind Noble Lady Fucha: "Noble Lady, the Emperor is waiting outside for you to give birth. Why don't you give birth to the prince safely in one go and let the Emperor see your benefits?"

Noble Lady Fucha really wanted to cry. Only now did she become more clear-headed. She must have used the child in her belly to curry favor some time ago and offended everyone, so Guaerjia was revealed and allowed to step on her to get the title!

Noble Lady Fucha took a deep breath and said to the midwife who had just spoken: "Tell me, what should I do to give birth safely?"

The midwife was delighted and replied, "Don't worry, madam. Your birth canal has just opened. If you feel pain in your stomach, don't bear it. But when the servants ask you to push, don't be stingy with your strength!"

It sounded simple, and Noble Lady Fucha gritted her teeth and agreed. It would be a good idea for her to let Guaerjia give birth first. Anyway, the child has been confirmed to be a prince. As long as she gives birth safely, she will definitely be able to be canonized as a concubine earlier!

With the temptation of being promoted to a concubine earlier, Noble Lady Fucha obeyed the midwife's every word. Not only was the pressure on everyone in the delivery room greatly reduced, but the order also became more stable. When it was about to get dark, Noble Lady Fucha finally gave birth to the Sixth Prince safely. Da Pangju was overjoyed, and after seeing the child, he named Noble Lady Fucha Shunpin. The canonization ceremony was held on the Sixth Prince's full moon day.

Before this, Jiang Xinxin had already ordered that the rewards for the midwife and the imperial physician be doubled, and the newly appointed Shunpin was also given two months' salary. Dapangju was even more generous and tripled the rewards again. For a moment, the palace maids and eunuchs present were very happy, and auspicious words came one after another.

Big Fat Ju was tired after having fun for a while, so he pulled Jiang Xinxin away first, "Queen, please come with me. Everyone else, please go away. Let Shunpin have a good rest. I will come to see her and the Sixth Prince tomorrow."

Nian Fei stared blankly at the harmonious backs of Jiang Xinxin and Da Pangju walking away together. Then she thought that she seemed to have never been noticed by Da Pangju today. The bad premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger. She could not help but stagger and was supported by Song Zhi beside her and Fu Ying who had just stood up behind her.

Seeing Concubine Nian's face full of sadness that was hard to conceal, Fu Da Ying couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Before she became a concubine, she thought being a concubine was more prestigious than being a palace maid. But when she became a concubine, she realized that most concubines only looked glamorous on the surface, but were actually very dangerous. It just seemed easy because they didn't have to do endless work all day like palace maids.

In her eyes, no matter how glorious the rumors about Concubine Nian were, she always felt that Concubine Nian had long fallen out of favor. If it weren't for General Nian in the previous dynasty, Concubine Nian might have been reduced to dust long ago.

Looking at Concubine Nian's miserable back, Fu Da Ying turned around to look inside, sighed, held the palace maid's hand, and left.

When Concubine Nian returned to her residence, she heard that Jiang Xinxin and Big Fat Ju had sent many gifts to Concubine Shun. She couldn't help but pick up the pickles on the table and stuffed them into her mouth one by one. She stuffed her stomach with sour water and felt nauseous, but she refused to stop. She even cried with joy as she looked at the helpless Songzhi: "Songzhi, Songzhi!"

"Look, I vomited. I just vomited. Am I pregnant? Am I pregnant?"

Songzhi was terrified, and rushed over to hold Concubine Nian's hand as she was trying to stuff the pickle into her mouth, crying, "Don't be sad, Madam, be careful not to hurt the heir in your belly!"

"You couldn't get pregnant before because the Queen Mother added musk to the Huan Yi incense that the Emperor gave you. Now that you have been taking good care of yourself for two years, your body must have recovered. Maybe you are pregnant, but it's just that you haven't been pregnant for long and your pulse is not strong enough!"

Zhou Ninghai was waiting at the door, and was willing to go along with Concubine Nian's madness. He immediately jumped up and was about to walk out, saying, "I'll go get the imperial physician right away—"

Somehow, when Concubine Nian looked at Song Zhi, who looked anxious and heartbroken, and Zhou Ninghai, who had just gone out and quietly wiped away his tears, her confused thoughts finally became clearer.

She pushed the plate of pickles to the ground and cried, then laid down on the table and sobbed. Songzhi quickly picked up the pickles and the broken plate, walked quickly to the door and handed them to the waiting senior palace maid Lingzhi, then turned around and went back to Concubine Nian.

Song Zhi was not just talking nonsense to make Concubine Nian happy, but she really thought that Concubine Nian might be pregnant. "Your Majesty, I think your mood has been too abnormal recently, and you couldn't even see these pickles in the past, so maybe you really..."

When Concubine Nian heard this, she thought it made sense. She stopped crying and wiped her tears. She excitedly took Songzhi's hand and asked, "Songzhi, do you remember when was the last time I had my period?"

Songzhi recalled carefully and answered hesitantly: "It seems that your period has been delayed by four or five days in the past two months, and the amount has also been much less..."

The more the master and servant thought about it, the more they felt that she might really be pregnant. They nervously waited for the imperial physician Zhou Ninghai would invite back. It just so happened that the imperial physician on duty today was the court judge Zhang Mi and Wen Shichu, who was good at nursing.

Jiang Xinxin had already established new rules in the Imperial Hospital, and Concubine Nian pushed the matter of musk in Huanyixiang onto the Empress Dowager. Fatty Ju sold herself to confirm the matter. It happened that Nian Gengyao had framed the late Emperor, the Fourteenth Prince, and angered the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager actually attracted all of Concubine Nian's attention. After all, no matter whether it was Yixiu or Jiang Xinxin, no evidence was left when they framed those women.

Zhang Mi and Wen Shichu carefully checked Concubine Nian's pulse. They were not sure whether she was pregnant, but judging from her pulse, it was likely.

Zhang Mi's scalp suddenly went numb. He was one of the people who knew the true condition of Concubine Nian's health. Especially although the matter of Huan Yixiang had been revealed, Dapang Ju did not seem to want Concubine Nian to get pregnant. He even hinted to the Imperial Hospital not to devote all their efforts to conditioning Concubine Nian to make it easier for her to get pregnant.

But Wen Shichu was an honest man towards other concubines. Seeing his boss's embarrassed face, he thought he was afraid of disappointing Concubine Nian, so he stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, your pulse is not strong, and the judge and I are not completely sure. It is best to wait another half a month to check your pulse again before we can confirm it."

But for Concubine Nian, who was desperately hoping to have a child, it was already a great joy that Concubine Nian did not insist that she was not pregnant. She happily asked Song Zhi to give rewards to the two imperial doctors, and also asked Zhou Ninghai to report to the emperor. Zhang Mi and Wen Shichu looked at each other with bitter smiles and could only let Concubine Nian go.
