Ruyi's Rebirth: Ruyi's Disease Retreat Retreat

Chapter 263 Tang Er is pregnant; Fu Heng is urgently recalled 6 miles away

On the night of the Ghost Festival, thousands of candles were lit in the Cining Palace, making the hall as bright as day.

Dozens of imperial aunts and hundreds of ladies with royal titles have already taken their seats.

Qianlong, the Empress and the Imperial Concubine bowed and saluted the Empress Dowager.

Tang'er also followed behind with a group of ladies, but her eyes never left the suave Emperor Qianlong.

Ever since she last entered the palace and had "interaction" with Emperor Qianlong, she has been conflicted: she feels that her status is very noble, but she also feels sorry for the queen.

She often missed her husband, yet also hoped he would stay out longer; every time she entered the palace, she was afraid of seeing Qianlong, yet also looked forward to seeing him...

While he was daydreaming, the banquet was already prepared and everyone took their seats. Empress Ulanara and Concubine Chun Su went to each table to toast on behalf of the emperor. When it came to Tang'er's table, Concubine Chun smiled and said, "Tang'er should drink two cups."

Ruyi didn't care and said to Tang'er: "Fuheng is out on business and hasn't come back yet. You should actually drink a glass of longevity wine on his behalf."

Tang'er drank two cups in a row with a red face, then glanced at the chief, and Qianlong happened to be looking at her.

Tang'er made an excuse that she was drunk and went outside to sober up, then slipped away.

When Hongli saw that Tang'er had disappeared, he immediately said to the Empress Dowager, "My Queen Mother, there is an urgent memorial. I have read it and it will be sent to the Ministry of War tonight. I will write a comment and come back."

Zhen Huan was in high spirits and agreed without much thought. Hongli glanced at the Queen and the Imperial Concubine, then slipped out of the hall, left the Cining Palace, and came to the Cining Garden to meet Tang'er.

Unexpectedly, Tang'er said as soon as they met: "Women have a hard life. I really don't know what will happen in the future. If Fu Heng knew..."

Hongli grabbed her hand and said, "Your life is not hard because I am here. Without my will, Fuheng cannot come back!"

Tang'er gently broke free from Qianlong's hand and said tearfully, "But, Your Majesty...I am already pregnant!"

Hongli was shocked to hear that Tang'er was "pregnant": "What? You are pregnant, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"It's been more than a month. If it's any later, I'm afraid it won't be able to be concealed." Tang'er said with a sob.

Hongli naturally could not take her into the harem, as that would have confirmed the rumors of incest.

A few months ago, Fuheng was sent to inspect Jiangnan. As an imperial envoy of the court, he was in Nanjing at this time deploying the campaign to suppress the bandit "Yizhihua".

Hongli was sure that Tang'er was pregnant with a dragon seed. That night, he went to the Military Affairs Office and said to the clerk, "I will issue an imperial decree tomorrow morning, ordering Fuheng to return to the capital!"

Naqin was puzzled: The emperor came here in the dark just to transfer Fuheng back? But the day before yesterday he issued an order for Fuheng to stay in Nanjing and continue to suppress bandits!

Although Naqin didn't understand why Qianlong transferred Fuheng back, he had to do it according to the imperial edict.

Thus, an urgent imperial edict sent by the court, which traveled six hundred miles, was delivered to Fuheng.

Fu Heng was very surprised when he received the imperial edict. He was doing his job well and was busy every day, so why was he asked to go back halfway?

It was half a month later that Fu Heng and his group returned to Beijing. Reunited with Tang Er after a long separation, the two had endless affectionate words to say to each other.

The next day, Fuheng reported his work to Emperor Qianlong in the Qianqing Palace, and Emperor Qianlong was very satisfied.

He encouraged Fu Heng: "You take care of yourself. I will never treat you unfairly."

Fu Heng returned home and told Tang'er what the emperor had said. Tang'er was delighted, but she was still thinking: Did the emperor mention me?

As the couple was talking, Li Yu issued an imperial edict. The couple knelt to receive the imperial edict. Eunuch Li announced: "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims:

Fu Heng, the Imperial Guard of the Qianqing Gate, has been assigned to inspect the provinces south of the Yangtze River. He has distinguished himself in government and is hereby promoted to the rank of Shangshufang (Shangshufang) and concurrently appointed Minister of Miscellaneous Affairs. He is also granted a two-week leave to inspect Shanxi and handle bandit suppression. He will resume his duties upon his return to Beijing. This is my decree!

Fu Heng was so happy to be promoted! After a two-week vacation, he was ordered to go to Shanxi to continue suppressing bandits.
