The emperor's illness is very dangerous
In the power struggle in the palace, the queen always played a key role.However, the pressure and responsibilities she bears are also far beyond ordinary people.Recently, the emperor's illness has made the atmosphere in the palace extremely tense.The Queen Mother proposed to let the concubines take turns to serve the Emperor. However, the Queen Mother was worried that the Emperor's illness would be extraordinary and might affect the Sixth Palace, so she decided to serve the Emperor alone.
The queen stayed by the emperor's side day and night, leaving the affairs of the harem in the care of Concubine Jia.Although all the concubines wanted to compete for favors in front of the emperor, no one wanted to speak out to the queen, and they passed the blame and no one wanted to be the first to do so.This kind of palace life of overt and covert fighting makes people feel deeply depressed.
Yi Huan, a unique concubine, couldn't stand the behavior of everyone, so she chose to leave alone and go to Anhua Hall to chant sutras and pray for the emperor.In order to help the emperor recover as soon as possible, she ignored the dissuasion of others and hung the prayer flags in the courtyard in the rain.Although her behavior seems aloof, it is full of deep concern for the emperor.
When the emperor woke up and found the queen at his side, he was deeply moved by the deep love between husband and wife.However, the queen insisted that she was the emperor's first wife and should be at her side.She cooked the porridge for the emperor with her own hands and fed him with her own hands. This deep affection was touching.
However, the queen's life was not easy.The good news spread to all palaces, causing everyone to talk about it.Yi Huan lamented that although the emperor would send her pregnancy medicine after bedtime, she never had an heir. She thought it was because of her frail body.The queen's pregnancy undoubtedly brought new variables to the palace.
Mrs. Fucha asked Qi Taiyi to pay special attention to the queen's diet to ensure that the queen gave birth smoothly.After diagnosing and treating the queen, the Qi imperial doctor said that the queen's baby was most likely to be a prince, but she was weak and needed to burn moxa to preserve the fetus.Mrs. Fucha hopes that the emperor can accompany the queen when the moxa is burning, so that the emperor knows how difficult it is for the queen to give birth, so that he will cherish the child more.The queen is already quite young, and this child is of great significance to the entire Fucha family.
However, Concubine Jia was afraid that the queen would give birth to a legitimate son, which would endanger her and her fourth brother's status.She tried to be happy again to consolidate her position.One night, Concubine Jia was dancing in the palace, and the sound of Beiqin attracted the emperor.The emperor was attracted by Concubine Jia's dancing and walked into Concubine Jia's room.The queen's pregnancy made the struggle in the palace more intense.
While Dr. Qi was burning moxa for the queen, the news came that Concubine Chun had given birth to a princess, which made the queen feel relieved.However, Concubine Jia was also blessed for two months, and the queen ordered people to send gifts. The meaning is self-evident.Princess He Jing came to visit the queen and brought her own paintings.There are only two people in the painting, the queen and the princess. The princess said that it would be better if there was an elder brother.The queen quickly accused her, saying that her child must be an elder brother.
The Queen Mother was also happy for the Empress, but also puzzled that Yi Huan could not conceive for a long time.She suspected that the emperor had tampered with the pregnancy pills, and this suspicion made the atmosphere in the palace even more tense.
The queen was weak, so Ruyi performed a wedding ceremony on her behalf, which aroused the queen's displeasure.However, Su Lian said that as long as the queen gave birth to a legitimate son, all this would not be a problem.Qi Imperial Physician performed acupuncture to preserve the fetus, but the fetus was still showing signs of decline, and the dragon fetus was about to be born in only eight months.At this moment, the Queen Mother is leading the concubines to pray for no rain in the capital. The Emperor is also still in Yuanqiu, and the Queen does not want to disturb him.However, the queen's body was weak, the dragon fetus had no strength, and she could not get out on her own. The situation was once very dangerous.
Soon, the news came that the queen had given birth. At this time, it rained heavily, which relieved the drought in the capital.Everyone said that the queen's legitimate son was blessed. The emperor was very happy and named the prince Yong Cong, which means a ritual vessel for worshiping the earth.On the full moon day of Yong Cong, the Queen Mother gave Yong Cong the longevity lock that the Holy Ancestor Emperor had given to the late emperor. The emperor also valued Yong Cong very much and granted a general amnesty to the world on the full moon day.However, the concubines saw that the seventh prince was weak and seemed to have no energy, which made the atmosphere in the palace become tense again.
