Chapter 34 Tong Jia - Forgetting Worries (12)
"Mother, why have you always remained silent whenever I've asked about this aunt since I was little?" Yin Zhao didn't quite understand.
"To be honest, I only saw your aunt on her full-moon celebration day, and I haven't seen her since. She was frail from childhood and was truly raised in seclusion. But that's not quite right; it should be said that she unilaterally avoided seeing anyone from the outside world. But she's very capable!"
"Is she even more powerful than her mother?"
"Let me put it this way, if you offend anyone in the harem, your mother can protect you, but if you offend your aunt, the entire Tongjia clan can't protect you!" The Imperial Noble Consort's tone was unusually serious. Back then, she was able to conceive Yinzhao and give birth to him despite being framed by both Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the Emperor, all thanks to her cousin.
She always knew that there were cousins around her and Yin Zhao, but she couldn't find out which one it was. It was thanks to her that she and her son were able to survive in this cannibalistic palace.
"Then Mother, may I visit my aunt when I leave the palace?" Yin Zhao was still not giving up.
"You can bother me with matters of life and death, but don't provoke your aunt at other times!" The Imperial Noble Consort said earnestly for the safety of her son.
"Mother, I understand!" Yin Zhao was even more curious about Wang You. It seemed that he should find time to build a good relationship with Lord Erhe first, so that he could meet his aunt. Yin Zhao was making plans in his mind.
Wangyou's belly gradually grew bigger, and by the fifth month, the fetus was already moving. Wangyou then began to provide prenatal education for the baby in her womb, with Wangyou during the day and Erhe at night.
From primers to classics and historical texts, Wangyou discovered that her unborn child was particularly interested in history. After several attempts, she found that the child was most interested in the history of the Qin and Han dynasties. Whenever she read about that period, the child would move around much more frequently.
"Son, keep it down. Your mother is delicate and can't take this much!" Wangyou said to the baby in her belly, touching her belly.
Wangyou had only been testing the waters, but to her surprise, the baby in her belly had indeed stopped moving. Even when she was excited afterward, the baby wasn't as restless.
"Duobao, will there be any unusual phenomena after this child is born?" Wangyou said with some worry. The fact that the child could understand words even in her womb suggests something extraordinary!
"Host, I don't know either. The strange phenomena that occurred in the last world really had nothing to do with me!"
"I know, what I'm worried about is that if this child is born and a dragon or something, I'll have to take the child, Tongjia, and my husband and flee overnight!" Wangyou was worried and planned to summon all her subordinates to the capital so that they could leave immediately if anything went wrong.
"Host, surely not!" Even Duobao himself didn't believe what it was saying.
"By the way, Duobao, do you have anything that allows me to have a baby without getting pregnant? Pregnancy and childbirth are so tiring!"
"Host, yes, there are such places, but I don't recommend using them. There are childbirth pods, but children born from them have defects, the most obvious being genetic defects..."
"Alright, you don't need to say anymore. I'll just give birth naturally!" Wangyou interrupted Duobao's explanation. That's right, machines really can't replace humans, no matter how well the environment is imitated.
Afterwards, Wangyou instructed her four maids to send her subordinates into the capital in batches to await orders. If any unusual phenomena occurred during her childbirth, she could evacuate everyone from the capital overnight. If not, that would be the best outcome, but Wangyou had to be prepared for the worst.
She even had a whole bunch of human skin masks made!
"Host, what exactly did you do in your first life? Why are you so skilled at training people?" Duobao looked at Wangyou's panel. Very well, it was still full of question marks.
"Aren't you an omnipotent system? You can investigate!" Wangyou said with a smile. In fact, she didn't know who she was either; she had been able to remember things since birth.
"Host, you're bullying me again!" Duobao knew that Wangyou didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask. "But host, your luck value has increased by three points, it's 91 now!"
"This is good news. I hope that my child and I can both recover from this crisis and that I won't have to go through all this trouble!" If I could live a comfortable life, I would choose comfort.
When Wangyou was eight months pregnant, Jueluo moved into Wangyou and Erhe's house with her own belongings, intending to watch Wangyou give birth.
When Emperor Kangxi in the Forbidden City heard the imperial physician tell him to continue his recuperation, he couldn't help but kick the physician aside. More than half a year had passed, and he still hadn't recovered at all, which made him check his beard every day to see if it was still there before he could feel at ease.
The baby in her belly doesn't dare to be too restless now, because she knows he's almost due. Eight months can easily lead to premature birth, so he's incredibly quiet. He only moves slightly when Wangyou interacts with him, being exceptionally well-behaved.
This made Wangyou love the child in her womb even more. No matter who the child was, or whose reincarnation, this child was hers, Wangyou's child, and she would do everything in her power to protect him.
Of course, Wangyou has no plans to have any more children; one child is enough.
The 27th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign was destined to be an eventful one. Not only was the Kangxi Emperor nearing his end, but Galdan, the Khan of the Dzungar Mongols, also invaded the Khalkha Mongols, advancing with overwhelming force and directly threatening the capital.
Furthermore, due to a dispute over river management, the Mingzhu Party was abolished, effectively ending the original Mingzhu faction that was originally part of the First Prince Yinti's group.
Of course, the most important thing right now is the invasion of Khalkha Mongols by Galdan, the Khan of the Dzungar Khanate. If this matter is not handled properly, the entire country's politics will fall into turmoil. So Kangxi is so busy that he doesn't even have time to think about his impending death, let alone consider it.
However, none of this affected Wangyou. She still continued to provide prenatal education and acted coquettishly with her mother. Since Jueluo Shi arrived, Wangyou had been kept under strict surveillance. She was not allowed to touch anything that was forbidden, which led to Wangyou now engaging in a daily battle of wits with her mother.
When Erhe saw his wife, who was almost nine months pregnant, still jumping around energetically, he felt uneasy. Therefore, he was happy to let his mother-in-law discipline him, except that his mother-in-law wouldn't let him hold his soft and delicate wife, which he found a little hard to bear.
So the couple started to outwit and outmaneuver Jue Luo. As a result, Jue Luo felt that she had lost several pounds since she came to see her daughter give birth. It was because her spoiled daughter was disobedient, and her son-in-law was constantly making things more difficult for her. Jue Luo was so angry that she wanted to pull out a stick.
Fortunately, it didn't last long. In the middle of the night, Wangyou felt a chill under her and quickly woke up Erhe, who was sleeping next to her, "Erhe, I'm going into labor!"
In a single sentence, Erhe instantly lost all sleepiness and quickly called for help outside. He then carried Wangyou and hurried to the delivery room.
Fortunately, the midwives were prepared in advance. When Jue Luo heard the commotion, she quickly ran out. Her clothes were still a little disheveled, but she still began to arrange Wangyou's delivery in an orderly manner.
At dawn, the moment the first ray of sunlight appears, a loud cry rang out, announcing the birth of a newborn.
