Chapter 70 Consort Fucha's Attraction
Chapter 70 Consort Fucha's Attraction
At this moment, Nian Shilan, who was standing to the side, also spoke up:
"I've had this idea for a while now. But it's probably not appropriate for me to bring it up."
That old man is wary of my Nian family, and it's probably because of me that you haven't been promoted yet.
In truth, it's I who have dragged you into this.
Cao Qinmo quickly shook her head and said, "If it weren't for Your Highness's usual care,
In this palace, where can concubines and gentlewomen find a peaceful life?
Having said what needed to be said, Fucha Peiyun waved for the two to leave, saying:
"That's enough, you should all go back outside now."
Especially for you, the Imperial Concubine, there are still many matters outside waiting for you to handle.
However, Nian Shilan rolled her eyes dismissively.
"Hmph, I don't want to bother with those trivial matters anymore."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door, with Cao Qinmo and Song Zhi following closely behind.
Suddenly, only Fucha Peiyun and Hongchang, the little baby, were left in the dormitory.
Fucha Peiyun touched her son's little face.
Then he checked his back to see if he was sweating.
Then, she carefully reached her hand down her son's back to check if he was sweating.
After confirming there was nothing there, she gently lifted the baby's swaddling clothes to check if there was any bedwetting or soiling under the baby's bottom.
After a thorough inspection and confirming that everything was alright, Fucha Peiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she slowly reached under her pillow and pulled out a slightly yellowed storybook.
It must be so boring to have a baby in this palace!
There are only a few things that can help pass the time: chatting with Lady Fucha and reading storybooks.
And then there were the rumors Xiaoxue told about the various palaces.
The stories told at this time were quite boring, mostly about talented men and beautiful women.
The impoverished scholar meets a young lady from a wealthy family – these are the types of stories.
They were all completely silent once they saw them.
But there's no other way; these are the only things I have to pass the time.
Fucha Peiyun flipped through the storybook in her hand listlessly, becoming more and more bored with each reading.
Just then, Ye'er's voice came from outside the door again, announcing something.
"Your Majesty, Consort Jing has come to visit you."
Fucha Peiyun quickly stuffed the storybook back under her pillow, straightened her clothes, and whispered:
"Please come in quickly."
Consort Jing walked in with elegant steps, a gentle smile on her face.
Following behind Consort Jing was her personal maid, Ruyi, who was carrying a large box.
"How is my sister today?"
Consort Jing asked with concern, her eyes looking at Hongchang on the bed.
"Thank you for your concern, Sister. Everything is fine," Fucha Peiyun replied with a smile.
Consort Jing loved children; if it were anyone else coming...
Fucha Peiyun might suspect her purpose in coming, but Consort Jing wouldn't.
Consort Jing approached the bedside, her gaze never leaving Hongchang on the bed.
Hongchang, who had been fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, which made Consort Jing and Fucha Peiyun anxious.
The two thought Hongchang had woken up, but they saw him open his eyes briefly and then slowly close them again.
A smile appeared on her little face.
Seeing the child like this, Consort Jing smiled gently and said:
"This child, is he having some wonderful dream?"
Fucha Peiyun smiled as well, "I guess so, children are always carefree."
Consort Jing sat down and took Fucha Peiyun's hand.
"My sister went through a lot during childbirth, but seeing how cute and healthy the little prince is now, it was all worth it."
Fucha Peiyun nodded, seeing the loving look in Consort Jing's eyes.
Fucha Peiyun smiled
"If Consort Jing likes Hongchang, she can come to Yanxi Palace often in the future."
Upon hearing this, Consort Jing's face immediately lit up with delight.
She really loves children and wants to have one of her own.
Unfortunately, she is probably too weak to have more children.
She could only look at the children in the palace, but unfortunately, there were too few of them.
She was initially delighted when Consort Hui in her palace was pregnant, but it turned out to be a false pregnancy.
She also liked Cao Qinmo's gentle demeanor, but since Cao Qinmo was Consort Hua's person, she dared not get close to her.
Unexpectedly, the previously arrogant Consort Shu...
Previously, her relationship with Consort Shu was not very close; they only maintained a superficial politeness towards each other.
Therefore, she was quite surprised when she heard Consort Shu so readily invite her to visit the children often.
She knew that Consort Shu's words were not just polite formalities, but genuine.
I never expected Consort Shu to trust me.
She never expected that Consort Shu would trust her so much.
Consort Jing suppressed her excitement and asked cautiously:
"Sister Consort Shu, may I really come to visit the Sixth Prince often?"
How about this, sister, I'll come to visit you and your baby after you've finished your postpartum confinement period.
After all, little sister, you're still in your postpartum period!
If I come over too often, I'm afraid it will disturb your rest.
Consort Jing is truly a gentle and considerate person; Nian Shilan probably never imagined she would be so thoughtful and attentive.
This is not to say that Nian Shilan was bad at all.
It's just that everyone's personality is different. Some people are naturally straightforward and don't think too much.
Fucha Peiyun smiled slightly and said softly:
"Sister Jingfei, what are you saying!"
No need for all that trouble, we have plenty of time to rest tonight.
This postpartum period has been so incredibly boring. If only my sister could come and keep me company and chat with me more often...
It'll help me pass the time.
Upon hearing this, Consort Jing couldn't help but smile with delight and quickly replied:
"Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony anymore!"
Oh, by the way, my sister had a really tough time giving birth this time.
So your sister specially prepared some nourishing medicine to send to you.
This is to help you recover; I hope you won't mind.
Upon hearing this, Ruyi, who was behind Consort Jing, quickly placed the gift she was holding on a mahogany table not far away.
Fucha Peiyun quickly replied, "Sister, you're too kind. You've gone to so much trouble to prepare all this; how could I possibly find it offensive?"
Consort Jing smiled and said, "My sister has just gone through the pain of childbirth, so her qi and blood must be depleted."
The herbs in this box are my treasured tonics, and they are most beneficial for nourishing the body.
The two chatted about parenting tips for a while, and then Consort Jing suddenly lowered her voice and said:
"Sister, this palace may seem peaceful on the surface, but there are undercurrents surging beneath."
The Sixth Prince is still young, so his younger sister must be on high alert.
There are too many children dying unjustly in this palace.
Fucha Peiyun knew all this, of course, but she still looked at Consort Jing with gratitude.
"Thank you for reminding me, sister. I'll remember it."
Consort Jing breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that my sister didn't think I was cursing the Sixth Prince."
Fucha Peiyun gently patted Consort Jing's hand.
"How could I not know my sister's good intentions?"
But protecting a child within the confines of the palace is no easy task.
Consort Jing: "Yes, the children in the palace have such tragic fates."
Children are innocent, yet some people always seem to prey on them.
Fucha Peiyun said, "If I hadn't realized this in time, Hongchang wouldn't have had the chance to be born."
Consort Jing sighed and said, "It was truly remarkable that my sister was able to protect Hongchang. There must have been many hardships behind it."
Fucha Peiyun nodded. "I've been on tenterhooks these past few days too."
If it weren't for those nannies bestowed by the Emperor, I wouldn't have been able to save my child.
Consort Jing said, "Sister, all of that is in the past. Having a child in the palace makes life a little easier."
Fucha Peiyun: "Sister, you love children so much, how come you haven't had any all these years...?"
Consort Jing's expression immediately darkened.
Fucha Peiyun asked, "Was my sister ambushed?"
Consort Jing nodded. "Sister, you may never have your own children in this lifetime."
Fucha Peiyun lowered her voice, "Can Consort Jing trust me?"
Consort Jing remained silent for a while. She had no power or influence in the palace, and nothing to deceive.
And she intuitively felt that this answer was important.
She looked into Fucha Peiyun's eyes and nodded. "I believe you."
Fucha Peiyun saw the sincerity in Consort Jing's eyes, but still gave Consort Jing a hint.
This implies that it does not require Consort Jing to be loyal to her, nor does it harm Consort Jing.
So this implies there are no obstacles.
Ruyi, Consort Jing's personal maid, was also given a similar hint.
Consort Jing couldn't tell anyone what happened today, not even if she wrote it down.
Fucha Peiyun lowered her voice, "Sister, wouldn't you like to have a child of your own?"
Consort Jing's pupils dilated instantly, and her hands trembled.
She calmed down for a moment, then looked at Ruyi.
He bowed and left hastily.
Fucha Peiyun was even more pleased to see how sensible Consort Jing was.
In front of Consort Jing, Fucha Peiyun emerged from the secret chamber beside the bed.
Actually, a porcelain bottle was taken out of the system space.
She handed the porcelain vase to Consort Jing.
Consort Jing accepted the porcelain vase with a hopeful expression.
"If you trust your sister, then take the medicine in this bottle."
After taking the medicine, the elder sister found a way to invite the emperor over.
However, the younger sister cannot guarantee whether the child is a boy or a girl.
Consort Jing wanted to take a gamble. She opened the porcelain bottle and poured the medicine onto her hand.
The small pill looked ordinary, but its delicate fragrance gave Consort Jing a refreshing feeling.
This gave Consort Jing confidence in the medicine, and she put it in her mouth without hesitation.
The medicine dissolved instantly upon entering the mouth, which gave Consort Jing even more confidence in it.
"Thank you so much, little sister. I will never forget your great kindness. From now on, I will follow your lead."
Of course, this is all predicated on her successfully conceiving, and she will also need to work hard for the baby in her womb.
She wants to protect the child and help him grow up.
If Consort Shu's medicine can truly make her pregnant, then siding with Consort Shu will only benefit her and her child.
Fucha Peiyun was very satisfied with Consort Jing's performance.
Rather than trying to win Consort Jing over to Zhen Huan, it would be better to use a child to gain her favor.
Anyway, the pills for having daughters and sons that the system gave her weren't of much use to her, a plant fairy.
She already has a child and doesn't plan to have any more for her son, Da Pang Ju.
Having more children in the palace will be a great help to the son in the future.
Of course, she definitely wouldn't give him the fertility pill.
The elixir was left to her future daughter-in-law.
Fucha Peiyun then suggested, "Sister, after you go back, why don't you go back and ask a trustworthy imperial physician to recuperate your body?"
This Imperial Physician Wen is quite good; the Empress is still under house arrest.
Consort Wan is still in her postpartum confinement period, and Consort Nian doesn't seem to care much about the Emperor either.
Now is a good time to get pregnant.
Consort Jing understood Fucha Peiyun's meaning and quickly thanked her again.
"Thank you for your advice, sister. I will remember it."
Fucha Peiyun said, "Sister, just remember what you said today."
