Later gave birth to twelfth brother
In a courtyard in the palace, Kebin and the emperor built a snowman together and had barbecue in the courtyard for fun.At this time, Yan Wan was holding two fresh chickens, hoping to share this warm time with the two of them.However, Ke Bin refused Yan Wan to join because she had donated deer blood wine to the emperor.Kebin's harsh words made Yanwan feel even more humiliated.
Yan Wan was in a low mood. Just as Concubine Jia was choosing to deliver her grandma, the jealousy in her heart became even stronger.Ruyi's mother-in-law went to the palace to visit her and was very pleased to see that her daughter was in good health.The emperor was very concerned about Ruyi's pregnancy and asked Dr. Jiang about the gender of the fetus.Dr. Jiang said it was still difficult to determine.The emperor then went to visit Ruyi in person. Ruyi admitted that he would rather be pregnant with a princess, because princesses are often more considerate.After hearing this, the emperor also praised him repeatedly.
In order to find out about the Queen's pregnancy, Yan Wan spent a lot of money to find the midwife who delivered Concubine Shu and asked her for her opinion.The grandma who delivered the baby did not dare to say anything, so Yan Wan could only tell her to take good care of her.When Doctor Jiang examined Ruyi's pulse, he hinted that she was pregnant with a boy.Ruyi didn't want others to know about this, so she deliberately concealed it and specially asked a Sichuan cook to serve her and prepare spicy dishes every day.
The next day, Li Xin from Qixiang Palace sent dried sour apricots, but Rong Pei told Concubine Jia that the queen disliked eating sour foods at this time.After Concubine Jia heard this, she felt a little relieved.People in the palace began to talk a lot, speculating that if Concubine Jia gave birth to an elder brother, but the queen gave birth to a princess, Concubine Jia's status might be more stable.
At this time, good news came from the palace that Concubine Jia had successfully given birth to her eleventh brother.When Ruyi chose a grandma to deliver the baby, she specifically chose Grandma Tian who had delivered Concubine Shu.Rong Pei was also extremely careful and inspected many times what Ruyi needed for production.During the day, Ruyi only ate spicy food, but at night Rong Pei secretly brought sour apricots for Ruyi to eat.
When Ruyi was about to give birth, the emperor prayed devoutly in the Fengxian Hall, hoping that the queen would give birth to a healthy prince.Concubine Jia also felt uneasy at this moment. She placed her hope on Ruyi giving birth to a princess.Soon, the good news came that Ruyi successfully gave birth to his twelfth brother, and the emperor was extremely happy.After Concubine Jia learned that she had been deceived, she lamented her incompetence and worried that the emperor would favor his legitimate son.In order to fight for a future for Si Age, she was determined to try her best.
The twelfth elder brother was very strong. The emperor named him Yongzhuang and asked Ruyi to raise him personally.At the same time, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother were practicing archery together.The third elder brother left first. In order to prepare for the upcoming Mulan Qiuyan, the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother stepped up their training.The emperor asked Concubine Jia about Si Age's riding and shooting skills and expressed his high hopes for him.
As night falls, the fifth elder brother secretly practices archery in the palace. He has mastered the ability to shoot with his eyes closed.But in order not to show it to others, he deliberately hid his ability.Hailan reminded the fifth elder brother to recognize his identity and not to think wildly.The fifth elder brother revealed to Hailan the news that the fourth elder brother had been working harder and harder recently, and Hailan asked him to pretend not to know about it and stay with the fourth elder brother at all times on Mulan's autumn day.
With the arrival of autumn, the emperor led his concubines to Mulan's paddock for hunting.Concubine Jia met Ling Yunche by chance and ordered her fourth brother to beat him. Fortunately, Ruyi appeared in time to stop the conflict.Ling Yunche told Ruyi about his experiences in recent years and said that he would return in a legitimate way.
