Chapter 1520 Can only Do It in Private
In Zhongcui Palace, the concubines in the harem usually beat Concubine Yi frequently.
But when something like this happened, everyone rushed to comfort Concubine Yi.
I just don't know if they are genuine or fake.
After Ruoyin arrived, facing the concubines' salute, he waved his hand to signal them to sit down, and then sat in the armchair outside the screen, waiting for Doctor Feng to announce the result.
Concubine Yi was leaning against the bed uncomfortably, probably because she had severe morning sickness and poor appetite, she looked thinner than before.
It's just that belly, it's only four months pregnant, it looks like it's almost bigger than someone else's belly when she was about to give birth.
After a while, Imperial Physician Feng took the pulse of Concubine Yi.
Compared with the last time, during this pulse diagnosis, Doctor Feng frowned even more.
After a long time, he cupped his hands to Ruoyin and said, "Empress, Empress Yi is pregnant with twins, that's why she became popular."
"What? Twins? Why didn't you say it clearly when you checked your pulse last time? You only said it now after a month has passed." Concubine Qi said angrily.
The last time Doctor Feng said that there was something wrong with Concubine Yi's fetal image, she thought that Concubine Yi's fetal image was unstable, and the good times were not long.
It caused her to gloat for a while, but Feng Yuyi now said that concubine Yi was pregnant with twins?
Seeing the anger on Concubine Qi's face, Imperial Physician Feng said patiently: "Because Concubine Yi is pregnant with twins, the nutrition can't keep up, and the fetuses are developing slowly, so when the slaves diagnosed her pulse a while ago, there was only a faint pulse. I felt something was wrong, but I didn't dare to make a conclusion, and I didn't dare to diagnose it until today."
In the palace, being pregnant is a great joy.
Especially for His Majesty the Emperor who doesn't like to flop cards and treats them as decorations, it's even more rare to be happy in the harem.
So, not to mention twins like Concubine Yi, they are even rarer!
At this moment, all the concubines present widened their eyes in surprise, and all looked at Concubine Yi's belly as big as a basket.
No wonder this concubine Yi is only four months pregnant, her belly is as big as a pregnant woman who is about to give birth.
They thought Concubine Yi was pregnant with a freak.
Listening to Feng Yuyi's words now, it turned out that she was pregnant with twins.
Could it be that Concubine Yi secretly took some medicine to help her conceive, and she became pregnant with twins.
Otherwise, with so many concubines in the harem, how could only Concubine Yi be pregnant with two concubines.
Compared to the suspicion of the concubines in the harem, Ruoyin's face was calm. She held her lips and said to Feng Yuyi calmly, "How is Concubine Yi?"
If nothing happened, she would go back to Yongshou Palace and sleep in the cage.
At the same time, she felt even more that it was the right choice to take the child-avoiding medicine.
Because there are so many concubines in the harem, it's okay to lose one of them and not have an heir.
No, there is also a concubine Yi who can give birth to twins.
"Returning to the empress, twins are prone to placenta previa, which leads to red spots caused by the separation of the placenta and female cells. It's just that most of these cases are not painful. Many women have a lot of red spots during sleep, so Lead to excessive blood loss and miscarriage.”
"Moreover, it is also easy to cause premature birth in the later stage. The servant first prescribed a pair of anti-fetal medicines to the concubine Yi. In addition, the concubine Yi needs to eat more nutritious food to ensure the normal nutrition and needs of the two heirs in her stomach. If there is nothing else, it is best to rest in bed."
As soon as these words came out, the harem concubines felt a little more balanced.
It seems that the twins are not so easy to conceive, let alone so easy to give birth safely.
Although in the Qing Dynasty, it was taboo for concubines to conceive twins.
That's because when twins are born, the time between them is too short, and it is easy to confuse who was born first.
And if it is the son of the legitimate son, especially the eldest son of the legitimate son, it is easy to cause power struggles.
If one person is the crown prince and the other kills him, he can easily be replaced.
As a result, after many concubines gave birth to twins, the imperial physician asked the imperial physician to see which pulse was weak, and then abandoned the weak one, and only raised one of them.
But, these are not within the scope of Concubine Yi's consideration.
Because the eldest son belongs to the queen, this worry is gone.
Probably because as a doctor, Concubine Yi probably knew it already, so she listened to Feng Yuyi's words with a calm face, without any fear or worry.
Ruoyin saw what Feng Yu said, and ordered Feng Yu to prescribe a dose of anti-fetal medicine, then dismissed the concubines from the harem, and went back to Yongshou Palace to sleep and sleep in the cage.
Concubine Yi should be worried now.
With the level of medical skills in the Qing Dynasty, it is difficult to give birth smoothly even if you are pregnant with twins.
Many midwives worry about losing their jobs when delivering twins.
Not to mention that Concubine Yi is in the harem where fish and dragons are mixed together, it is even more difficult.
On that day, after the fourth master of the Hall of Mental Cultivation found out that Concubine Yi was pregnant with twins, he didn't ignore her like the last time he found out that Concubine Yi was pregnant.
I heard that he came to see Concubine Yi in Zhongcui Palace in person.
Even, she stayed at Zhongcui Palace.
When he left the next day, he also issued a sacred decree to the harem.
"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Fucha Anqian, the adopted daughter of Fucha Maqi, the Minister of Manchuria's prime minister's affairs, is Shushen, diligent and submissive, graceful and pure, gentle and gentle, restrains Xian and internal rules, Shu De Hanzhang, deeply comforts my heart. I will be canonized as Concubine Yi after I write it, and I admire it!"
In the eyes of everyone, these are just the emperor's random excuses.
The key is that Concubine Yi is pregnant with twins.
Moreover, Imperial Physician Feng also said that Concubine Yi's pregnancy will be more difficult, and the emperor must feel very sorry for Concubine Yi.
But in the eyes of concubines in the harem, the emperor wanted to protect the twins in Concubine Yi's belly.
Worried that they would bully Concubine Yi, he promoted her to the position of concubine.
In this way, apart from the queen empress, Concubine Yi and Concubine Qi have the highest status.
The concubines in the harem were so angry that they gritted their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.
This situation has never happened in the harem since the emperor ascended the throne.
You know, the emperor is very strict and demanding in the promotion of concubines in the harem.
Take the old people like Concubine Qi, Concubine Mao, and Lady Zhuang as examples.
What status they were when they entered the palace, what status they are now, has not changed at all.
Especially the nobleman Zhuang, fortunately he is a relative of the Queen Mother, after giving birth to Sangege, he was not promoted.
Moreover, it is generally after the concubine is born before being promoted to the position.
Because there is a lot of competition in the harem, whether they can give birth safely is a problem.
Concubine Yi was lucky, she was promoted to two ranks even before she was born.
If she gave birth to two elder brothers, wouldn't she have to climb up to the position of imperial concubine?
Originally, they wanted to suppress Concubine Yi severely in private, to dissipate Concubine Yi's spirit.
It's good now, the speed at which they bully people can't keep up with the speed at which they are promoted.
Before they had time to do it, they reached a height that they could not reach.
There is also the body guard of the twin emperor's heirs, so that they dare not make any moves on the face.
In this case, it can only be done in private!
In the following days, because Concubine Yi was pregnant with twins, even though she was lying in bed to recuperate, she would see red every few days.
After fourth master found out, he would go to Zhongcui Palace every now and then.
