Mingxiu glanced at him with some worry. Did she have some incurable disease?

Anyone who has seen a doctor knows that it's not the doctor's jokes that are scary, but the doctor's silence, because when a doctor stops talking, it means the illness is very serious.

Just then, the imperial physician finished packing up and stood up, saying to the emperor, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Consort Ming is pregnant!"

Is Consort Mingfei pregnant?

Is she pregnant?

happiness?

Mingxiu listened to the imperial physician's words in a daze, unable to react for a long time.

She's been taking birth control pills, how could she be pregnant?

Mingxiu didn't understand.

When Emperor Kangxi heard the imperial physician's words, he immediately laughed and quickly said, "Reward, reward, reward."

The palace servants serving nearby were also overjoyed.

Their lady is pregnant! Yonghe Palace will have a little master soon! This is wonderful news!

"What's the reason for Consort Ming's constant excessive sleepiness? Are there any other symptoms?" Kangxi was initially very happy, but then suddenly spoke up.

"Your Majesty, it's normal for pregnant women to be sleepy, and every pregnant woman's constitution is different, so there's no need to worry," the imperial physician replied with a smile.

After listening, Kangxi had Liang Jiugong reward him and then dismissed him. He then saw Mingxiu still looking dazed.

He pinched Mingxiu's cheek. "What's wrong with you? Why are you acting so silly?"

Mingxiu turned her head stiffly after a long pause. "I'm pregnant?"

Emperor Kangxi nodded happily, "You're pregnant!"

Mingxiu lowered her head and touched her belly, feeling a mix of emotions—some happy, some at a loss.

But in the end, happiness prevailed, and he couldn't help but grin.

Although she never wanted children, one reason was that having a son would easily lead to a struggle for the throne, and having a daughter would easily lead to a marriage alliance. Therefore, Myung-soo never wanted to have children.

Besides, she already has Yinreng, which is enough.

But now she suddenly has a child; she has conceived a child herself, right there in her belly.

This feeling is still quite magical.

Now that she was already there, Mingxiu stopped worrying and happily accepted the news.

With a silly grin, Kangxi looked at Mingxiu's happy expression and patted her head.

Previously, Kangxi was somewhat worried because Mingxiu had not gotten pregnant, since Mingxiu was the place where he usually rested most in the harem.

However, Mingxiu did not conceive, which worried Kangxi greatly. He even had the imperial physician examine her, but the physician said there was no problem, so Kangxi had no choice but to put the matter aside.

She had been worried that if some people around her said something that put pressure on Mingxiu, she might feel bad. But now everything is fine.

They have a child, his and Mingxiu's child.

Kangxi imagined for a moment and felt that the children he and Mingxiu had would definitely be outstanding, whether they were boys or girls, he would definitely spoil them.

Looking at Mingxiu, Kangxi had already secretly made up his mind.

Mingxiu was unaware of Kangxi's thoughts; she was simply preoccupied with her pregnancy.

After spending some time with Mingxiu, Kangxi left. He still had many things to attend to. Shortly after Kangxi left, a large amount of rewards flowed into Yonghe Palace.

As everyone knows, Consort Ming is pregnant.

In an instant, some people in the palace were happy while others were not, and in an instant, many more pieces of porcelain in the palace were broken.

In Chengqian Palace, the Imperial Noble Consort also heard the news and looked at the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, who was sitting opposite her, enjoying his steamed eggs.

Yinzhen was focused on eating his steamed egg custard when he felt the Imperial Noble Consort's gaze. He looked up and smiled sweetly at her.

The Imperial Noble Consort smiled, her eyes softening instantly.

"Fine, she's pregnant, so be it. Go pick some things out of the storeroom and send them to her. She's a good person, and it's better for her to be pregnant than for other people to be pregnant."

The maidservant beside the Imperial Noble Consort nodded and turned to go to the storeroom to pick out items.

The Imperial Noble Consort turned around and continued feeding Yinzhen with the bowl and chopsticks. She was telling the truth. Before she had children, she was not in a good mood, so she felt unhappy every time she saw Mingxiu being favored. She was somewhat subjective in her judgment of people.

However, in the past two years, her mindset has become more stable, and she has had more contact with Mingxiu, so she can see that Mingfei does not hate her. On the contrary, she respects her very much.

As long as she doesn't actively offend her, Mingxiu won't go out of her way to cause trouble.

So it's not a bad thing that Mingxiu is pregnant; in fact, her pregnancy gives other concubines a chance to get pregnant.

Thinking of what the Empress Dowager had said to her after she returned to the palace, and the fact that her family had come to find her again, Consort Tong sighed.

The Empress Dowager's matter is manageable, but now that Consort Ming is pregnant, the Emperor will definitely stay with other concubines. However, her family has always wanted her to have a child of her own, and she herself wants one too, but the Emperor has never given her that opportunity.

Besides, she knows her own body well enough to know that she might not be able to handle it.

Consort Hui received the news immediately and rushed over to Yonghe Palace with her entourage.

When they arrived, they saw Mingxiu sitting on the couch, looking helplessly at the busy people in the palace.

Upon seeing Consort Hui arrive, Mingxiu's eyes lit up immediately. Ever since learning of her pregnancy, Green Bamboo had been overly protective of her, preventing her from even going for a stroll. She was incredibly bored. "Come on, come on, sister, come and sit down," Mingxiu waved and patted the seat next to her, gesturing for Consort Hui to sit down.

Huiping smiled and sat down next to Mingxiu, looking at her belly. "Congratulations! You're finally pregnant! I hope it's a little prince. Then you'll have someone to rely on in the palace."
