Yunrong couldn't eat, which worried Yinzhen terribly, but the court was also in turmoil.

The reason is that Jungar has started to misbehave again.

Back then, Yinzhen used the momentum of suppressing the Three Feudatories to send a message to the Mongols and intimidate the Dzungars. The Mongols needed the support of the Qing Dynasty to live a stable life, and Yinzhen also built roads to support the Mongols' economic development.

Therefore, the Mongols have been very obedient in recent years, and their tributes have been much more respectful than before, so the Qing Dynasty no longer needs to use princesses for marriage alliances.

Previously, the Mongols believed that they also had a share in the Qing Dynasty's territory. Since they retreated to the Qing's defense line, they naturally deserved the treatment they were entitled to. Their marriage to Qing princesses was an attempt to strengthen their ties with the Qing Dynasty, while they also feared the influence that Qing princesses would have on their bloodline.

Therefore, many princesses did not receive support after marriage, and since they had been in the palace before marriage and were unfamiliar with local customs, most of them did not have a good life in Mongolia.

At that time, the Mongols knew that they were no match for the Qing Dynasty in terms of strength and wealth, but the Qing Dynasty would not punish them arbitrarily either. So they went out of their way to "abuse" the Qing princesses.

Now that Prince Yinzhen of Mongolia has personally gone to intimidate them, Mongolia has completely become a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. As a result, the princesses who had previously married into Mongolia and lived a less than ideal life have found their lives to be much more comfortable.

Yinzhen was highly respected among the princesses who married into Mongolia.

The situation is now reversed compared to the past. For example, the Qing Dynasty wanted to use marriage alliances to ease relations with Mongolia in order to appease them.

Now Mongolia wants to marry a princess of the Qing Dynasty in order to strengthen its relationship with the Qing and get more benefits from the Qing.

With no worries about their rear, Mongolia kept the Dzungars in line for a few more years. However, after a few years, they suddenly started to become unruly.

Yinzhen received several cases, all related to the Dzungars. They not only bullied the people of the Qing Dynasty, but also openly burned and killed Qing officials.

Yinzhen also received news from the northern border that the Dzungars had begun training their troops and preparing provisions.

Yinzhen never believed that the Dzungars would give up easily; it was just that the Qing Dynasty had developed well in recent years, and the Dzungars were not confident enough to send troops rashly.

Judging from the current posture of the Jungar, it feels like war is about to break out.

Yinzhen wasn't afraid of the Zhungeer tribe; he wanted to go in person. However, he was worried about Yunrong's health. Lately, she hadn't been able to eat a proper meal.

While trying to figure out how to get Yunrong to eat more every day, Yinzhen also had to keep a clear head, which made it seem like he was keeping up with Yunrong's figure.

Still no appetite?

Yunrong was almost in despair. The baby in her belly was very unruly, and it was already making her father and mother restless even before it was born.

Yunrong nodded, trying to keep her expression gentle: "Don't worry, I'll try my best to eat something."

Yunrong is so thin she's practically unrecognizable. This is bad for a pregnant woman's health, and even for an ordinary person, it's not good for their health in the long run.

But he tried every method he could, and it still didn't work.

Yinzhen has rarely regretted anything in his life, but now he feels a little regretful that Yunrong is pregnant, as this pregnancy is really quite arduous.

Yinzhen was extremely worried about his health, so he simply let Yunrong's mother, Uya, stay in the palace for a while.

Originally, this matter was against the rules, but Yinzhen had been like a powder keg lately, and no one dared to touch him for fear that the heat would hurt others or burn them.

Although Wuya was still experiencing severe morning sickness, perhaps due to psychological factors, Yunrong was able to manage to eat some food.

Yunrong's morning sickness hadn't subsided yet, so Yinzhen didn't dare let her get involved in the New Year's arrangements this year, fearing it would tire her out. Instead, he asked the Empress Dowager to lend a hand.

The Empress Dowager was pragmatic; over the years, Yinzhen and his wife Yunrong had treated her well, showing her great respect and never forgetting to give her anything good.

Moreover, although Yunrong was the emperor's favorite, she did not abuse her power. As long as the concubines in the harem did not seek to kill themselves, they could generally live a decent life.

The Empress Dowager then accepted the task.

However, the nanny serving the Empress Dowager felt something was amiss: "Your Majesty, isn't the Emperor being a little too indulgent towards the Empress?"

The Empress Dowager looked on with longing and said, "I am too old to care about so many things. The Emperor is doing a good job. Just do this job well."

"yes"

The Empress Dowager was no better than a simpleton; this matter was quite easy for her.

Besides, the Empress Dowager also had her own thoughts.

On the day of the New Year, Yinzhen specially toasted the Empress Dowager: "Your son thanks Your Majesty for your help. It is my fault that Your Majesty has worked so hard."

The Empress Dowager smiled kindly and said, "We're all family, why are you being so polite with your mother? Besides, the Empress really needs to take good care of her pregnancy, I still want to have a grandson!"

Yunrong would have attended this banquet in previous years, but her health simply couldn't support her attending, so she made a brief appearance and then left.

Many people saw Yunrong appear, especially the women in the harem. They all looked worried, but what they were really thinking was anyone's guess, though they certainly weren't thinking anything positive.

After the New Year, and past the first month of the lunar calendar, the Dzungar Khanate became increasingly unruly. Yinzhen ordered the preparation of provisions and troops, but he had not yet decided whether to personally lead the expedition.

If he doesn't go, he can't guarantee that he can bring the Dzungars under his control this time. But if he does go, he's worried about Yunrong.

As Yinzhen's bedmate, Yunrong was always quite sensitive to his emotions. In addition, her morning sickness had indeed improved a lot, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
