Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

Chapter 204 Su promised to give birth to a daughter

The Queen looked at Concubine Gao and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Concubine Gao used to be at loggerheads with me, but now she is respectful and polite to me, and she loves the little princess so much. It seems that time can really change a lot of things.

From then on, whenever Concubine Gao saw the third princess, she could not hide the love in her eyes.

Over the past month, almost all of the small storehouses in Chuxiu Palace have been emptied - all moved to Changchun Palace, saying that they would be used as dowry for the little princess.

The third princess also liked Concubine Gao, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had her hair full of pearls and jade. When she saw her, she started babbling and looked very lively and cute.

Concubine Gao was secretly planning to make the third princess her goddaughter.

When the banquet started, the atmosphere was extremely warm. The concubines were chatting affectionately, and at this moment they really looked like sisters in the harem.

At this time, the emperor's decree came, bestowing the title of Hejing on the third princess to demonstrate peace in the world and respect from everyone.

(There is no exact record of the name of the third princess in history, so the princess's title is used as her name here.)

Empress Xian said happily, "'She is both beautiful in appearance and virtuous, and she is harmonious and respectful.' The words "harmony and respect" bestowed by the Emperor are really very appropriate."

“Empress Xian is right. I have also heard in the Book of Rites: Book of Music that “music is played in the ancestral temple, and the ruler and his subjects listen to it together, and everyone will be harmonious and respectful.”

"This is about the harmonious atmosphere when everyone participates in the celebration together. The little princess is loved by everyone." Nalan Chunxue also praised with a smile on her face.

"Well said. Now that we are gathered together for the princess's full moon, it is the perfect time for harmony and respect. I sincerely thank all my sisters for their blessings."

Empress Fucha smiled, raised her glass and toasted everyone.

"Thank you very much, Her Majesty." Everyone raised their glasses and drank up the wine.

Now, it is early winter and the weather is getting colder, but it is warm inside Changchun Palace.

The emperor was worried that the queen would be afraid of the cold and hurt her body, so he ordered people to light the silver charcoal early in the morning, making the palace as warm as spring.

The concubines, dressed in gorgeous clothes and exquisite jewelry, sat together chatting and watching singing and dancing performances. It was very lively.

At this time, the servants in each palace were also immersed in joy.

They had just received rewards from the emperor, and they were counting the money in their hands with smiles on their faces, their hearts filled with gratitude.

In this cold season, Changchun Palace is filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, making people feel endless warmth and happiness.

It can be said that the entire palace was immersed in an atmosphere of joy, and only Su Da Ying was lying alone in the cold room.

Her belly gradually grew bigger and the quilt made it hard for her to breathe, but the weather was too cold and she could only endure it silently.

A few days before New Year's Eve, Su Da Ying finally gave birth.

The maid hurried to find the midwife, but the midwife came over slowly.

At this moment, Su Jinghao's condition was very critical. However, the nanny saw that she seemed to be able to give birth on her own, and she also knew that she was banished to the cold palace because she had offended the emperor and the empress.

After thinking it over, she felt that she wouldn't get much benefit, so she just sat aside and gave orders, not caring about Su Jinghao at all.

Su Jinghao was extremely angry and wanted to scold the nanny, but she was too weak to speak.

After several long hours, a faint baby cry was finally heard.

It was not until then that the midwife went over to check and discovered that it was a little princess. Her expression became even colder.

After giving the little princess a simple treatment, he went out to report to the emperor.

However, the emperor had already rested in the snow and no one paid attention to the news.

Unexpectedly, Su Yingda suffered from hemorrhage due to excessive anxiety during pregnancy and malnutrition...

Early the next morning, the heavy snow outside finally stopped, and all the palaces received the news that Su Da Ying had given birth to a daughter and died of hemorrhage.

Concubine Gao laughed: "You deserve it!"

Empress Xian sighed, "It's all your own fault."

Concubine Yu's eyes were filled with sadness: "Alas, what a pity, a good person is gone just like this."

Yipin comforted Yupin and said, "It's just karma, sister, don't worry about it."

Nalan Chunxue was secretly happy: "Fortunately, I didn't stand on the wrong side before, otherwise I might be the unlucky one now."

In Changchun Palace.

At first, Wei Yingluo didn't want to tell the Queen the news in the morning, for fear of ruining the lively atmosphere before New Year's Eve.

But Empress Fucha mentioned Su Yingying herself, "Yingluo, the weather has been getting colder recently. Don't forget to have someone send some charcoal to the cold palace."

It turned out that last night, Empress Fucha suddenly dreamed of Su Jinghao, who kept apologizing to herself and said that she had done something wrong...

The Queen then realized that she had been taking care of the Third Princess and preparing for the New Year festivals these days, and had forgotten to look after the Cold Palace. Those servants who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak were afraid that they would withhold the expenses that Su Da Ying had given.

Wei Yingluo hesitated for a moment, but still said softly: "Queen...Su promised to give birth to the fourth princess last night, but she died of hemorrhage."

Empress Fucha looked lonely and silent for a long time, then murmured to herself: "How could this be?"

Wei Yingluo looked at the Queen, not knowing how to answer.

After a while, Empress Fucha came back to her senses. She slowly asked, "What about the emperor? How did he arrange it?"

Zhang Jianyi replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Emperor only said one sentence, asking the servants to bury the body hastily."

Empress Fucha frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, and said firmly:

"After all, she is the emperor's concubine. We should give her a proper funeral according to the rank of a concubine. This will also give an explanation to the Sixth Prince and the Fourth Princess."

Then she turned to Wei Yingluo and said, "Yingluo, go get the fourth princess. I will arrange everything."

"Yes." Zhang Jianyi and Wei Yingluo responded.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is New Year's Eve.

A grand celebration was held in the palace on this day.

The emperor was in a good mood and decided to promote the concubines.

Because of her steadiness and virtue, Concubine Xian was named Noble Concubine Xian and was ordered to assist the Queen in managing the affairs of the harem.

Because of her increasingly low-key personality, Concubine Gao was appreciated by the emperor and was given the title "Jia".

In addition, Yupin and Yipin were also named concubines, Shu Guiren became Shupin, and Qing Changzai was promoted to Qing Guiren...

Originally, the emperor planned to give the sixth prince Yongrong to Concubine Gao to raise, but Concubine Gao said she did not want a son, but hoped to have a daughter.

On the one hand, the Gao family is powerful, and if they have a son, they will have other thoughts; on the other hand, Concubine Gao has no resistance to the sweet and soft little princess.

So the emperor changed his mind and gave the fourth princess to Concubine Gao to raise, while the sixth prince Yongrong was given to Concubine Yi.

After the New Year, life went smoothly, peacefully, and even happily. The "senior" concubines were busy raising their own children, while the young concubines were pestering the emperor.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was Wei Yingning's wedding day.
