Calculating the timing, it seems I conceived this month.

This month, the Emperor is busy with the imperial concubine selection, handling court affairs, and also enjoying his sick son and the festival banquet. He's so busy, yet he still managed to get Jin Xiangling pregnant. He's quite capable.

The system was speechless. "Host, since you've already guessed it, why are you asking the system?"

Chen Yuwei shrugged, "Let's double-check," just in case.

"What happens after that?" the system asked, puzzled. Its host didn't seem like the kind of malicious person who would prevent other people from getting pregnant.

Back when she was still a prince, she focused on herself, and after entering the palace, she took that to the extreme. Now, when it comes to Consort Jia, bypassing the system, this digital life, it doesn't understand.

Chen Yuwei shook her head. She was only sure, there were no further plans. "I just wanted to have a general idea and avoid this kind of thing to avoid getting into trouble."

There will be more trouble in October. Jin Xiangling is pregnant, and who knows if there will be any accidents during that time.

Chen Yuwei always considers the worst-case scenario when faced with various events, a habit she developed from traversing numerous mission worlds.

No one can avoid accidents forever; the difference lies in whether you can get back up after an accident.

Chen Yuwei hasn't had many mishaps, but the fact that she can still travel the world to complete missions shows that she's quite capable.

A person with considerable ability will be more cautious. Life is precious, and having already lost it once, Chen Yuwei doesn't want to go through it again.

Stopping talking to the system in her mind, Chen Yuwei closed her eyes and simply held her breath.

...

On the fifth day of the ninth month, the concubines from the Manchu, Mongol, and Han military banners entered the palace together.

The addition of eight new concubines to the harem instantly brought even more people to the already bustling area.

Walking along the once empty but now bustling passageway, Chen Yuwei sighed to Xia He, "Things are really different now." The harem is now so large that it could form a reinforced platoon. I wonder if Hongli can manage it all by himself.

Chen Yuwei mentally assessed Hongli's power, then shook her head and sighed, "No."

If Hongli wanted to ensure that everyone received the emperor's favor, then he needed to strengthen his body's nourishment and conditioning.

Why

It seems that in the future, the commonly used medicines in Yikun Palace should be kept on hand at all times, not for any other reason than to help Hongli.
