No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Chapter 451 Sisters-in-law

"Don't worry about them, men are fickle," Lin Mingyan joked with her and sat down next to her with a smile on her face.

Wen Xian saw that the Fourth Master and Shun Anyan were the same as before, and thought that maybe she was well again and pregnant, so the two of them reconciled.

She said happily, "Fourth sister-in-law, it feels like I'm dreaming..."

She saw many doctors, and they all said that she would never be able to get pregnant in her lifetime.

She had given up long ago, but she didn't expect that her luck would turn around this time, it was really like winning the lottery.

"Rest assured and take care of yourself. What does the imperial physician say?" Lin Mingyan asked carefully.

Wen Xian said that the imperial physician had come to see her and thought the fetus was very healthy.

But it’s only been over a month now, so I still need to take good care of it. It will take three months for the fetus to be considered stable.

Lin Mingyan frowned and asked, "How come it got out so quickly?"

Most people wait until the baby is firmly established before telling the mother about their pregnancy, for fear of disturbing the fetus.

Wen Xian said: "The Tong family was a little too happy and reported this matter to the emperor. Now that the palace has given rewards, it can no longer be concealed."

"But it's better this way. Now that the Emperor knows I'm pregnant, I'll feel less guilty."

During this period, everyone was worried that she was feeling bad. The emperor wrote to her several times, and he cried every time he mentioned her.

Now that she has recovered and is pregnant, it’s great news.

Lin Mingyan comforted him, "Anyway, there are no outsiders in the Princess's Mansion. You can take good care of her and she'll be fine."

Shun Anyan has no concubines, and the servants in the princess's mansion are all on Wen Xian's side, so this baby will be easy to raise.

Obviously Wen Xian thought so too, so she decided to lie in bed and not move, hoping that she would recover.

Lin Mingyan didn't know much about these things, but she heard at work that an older woman stayed in bed for the first three months to protect her pregnancy. It seemed that this was good for the fetus.

However, she still advised: "Once the fetus is stable, you still need to walk around more often, otherwise the fetus will grow too big and it will be difficult to give birth."

"Yes," Wen Xian nodded. She would definitely listen to the imperial physician when the time comes.

She asked her for clothes again: "Fourth sister-in-law, please find some clothes for Honghui and the others and give them to me. Then I can let my baby wear his brother and sister's clothes."

In fact, who among the wealthy families would let their children wear other people’s old clothes?

Especially now that clothes are all made of pure cotton or plant-dyed, they lose their shape after a few washes, and no one wears them anymore.

However, Wen Xian heard that wearing old clothes of healthy children was good for newborns, so he spoke to Lin Mingyan.

Lin Mingyan nodded: "Okay, I've saved some old clothes that have only been worn once or twice. When you're about to give birth, I'll have them washed and brought to you."

Honghui and his family had a lot of clothes, and they grew up very quickly when they were young, so she kept many of them that she had only worn once or twice.

Wen Xian couldn't help but touch his belly and said, "Thank you, Fourth Sister-in-law. Although the Tong family will definitely prepare clothes, Honghui's will definitely be better."

After all, she likes Honghui very much, and Honghui is healthy and smart. Who doesn't want their child to grow up like this?

Seeing that she was really excited and her thoughts were jumping around very quickly, Lin Mingyan agreed with her and let her take care of the pregnancy happily.

The Fourth Master and Shun Anyan sat in the outer room drinking tea, listening to the two women inside whispering and hearing laughter from time to time, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

Shun Anyan, in particular, offered the Fourth Master a glass of tea instead of wine: "Don't blame me, Fourth Brother. I had no choice before."

He had previously wanted to seek revenge on Prince Zhi and pretended to surrender to him and support him, so of course it was not good for him to get involved with the Fourth Master.

He turned a blind eye several times and even argued against his own brother-in-law in the court.

The Fourth Master knew what he was thinking and didn't argue with him. He just reminded him, "Although Wen Xian is pregnant now, you've already boarded this ship, and it will be difficult to get off."

The Prince of Zhi is not a fool. You followed me before, but now that your wife is pregnant, you don’t want to do it anymore?

If I don’t punish you first, what if others follow suit?

"I haven't entered the core either, so I can only maintain the status quo for now," Shun Anyan also understood this.

On the surface, he still hates the prince's party. After all, he has acted out the deep hatred between him and the prince so realistically.

Fortunately, he is a member of the Tong family and has a high status. Even if Prince Zhi wants his support, he will not dare to let him do anything bad.

The Fourth Master took a sip of tea and said, "Using the child's matter as an excuse, stay out of the public eye. It will be fine after a while."

Wen Xian was a precious princess, and was deeply loved by Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager. It was only natural for her to take care of Shun Anyan when she was pregnant.

Shun Anyan nodded, indicating that he would definitely carry out the order.

He has been feeling a little overwhelmed since he learned that Wen Xian was pregnant, and he still doesn't feel grounded.

For Wen Xian and the children, revenge is not as important as them.

The Fourth Master was also very happy. He was the one who usually hated drinking, but after returning home, he pulled Lin Mingyan over to have a couple of drinks together.

Lin Mingyan didn't want to spoil the fun, so she took out the best bottle of wine. The two of them had a few drinks before going to bed.

I'm going to the palace again on New Year's Eve. I heard that Emperor Kangxi is in a good mood, so this year will be even better.

Lin Mingyan arrived at Yonghe Palace, and this year she was accompanied by two sisters-in-law.

The Thirteenth Concubine Zhaojia and the Fourteenth Concubine Wanyan came hand in hand.

The relationship between the two of them is pretty good, mainly because they both live in the prince's residence and are both... not liked by men.

More importantly, Thirteenth Princess's daughter, Guaerjia, and Fourteenth Princess's daughter, Shushujueluo, both gave birth to children this year.

Guwalgiya was fine, but she gave birth to a daughter.

However, Shushujueluo gave birth to the fourteenth eldest son, which made Wanyan vomit to death.

It was Chinese New Year, and her face was very ugly: "You really don't know any etiquette. You're pregnant before I even got married."

At least when Zhao Jia came into the family, neither of the two princesses was pregnant.

Thirteen was a good person, and after discussing with her, he didn't give her the contraceptive soup. Whoever got pregnant could have the baby.

But Fourteen did not give Wanyan any face at all.

Zhao Jia tugged at her sleeve: "It's New Year's Day..."

Especially now that they are in Concubine De's palace, this is not just the two of them talking in private, there is also the Fourth Sister-in-law next to them.

Both of them were new brides who had no children yet. They were still a little timid in front of an old bride like Lin Mingyan who had given birth to seven children.

Zhao Jia didn't even dare to raise her head, but Wan Yan turned to Lin Mingyan and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, please give me some advice!"

It was clearly Fourteen's fault, and she was right!

Lin Mingyan also felt that it was Fourteen's fault, but she was just a sister-in-law, not a mother, so there was no way to judge the matter.

I could only advise: "More children, more blessings. When you two get pregnant and have children, it will be lively here."

After all, other people having children doesn’t prevent you from having one.

As long as he doesn't think about harming other people's children, Thirteen or Fourteen should not be the kind of person who favors his concubine over his wife.

Wanyan was even more angry: "He simply..."
