Yanxi Palace

The teacup ornament shattered on the floor.

Consort Nara said angrily, "She's so lucky. She harmed my Chengqing, yet she still managed to get pregnant."

As Consort Nara spoke, she paced back and forth. She genuinely felt it was unfair. As one of the earliest people to follow Emperor Kangxi, she naturally knew Hesheli's true colors.

Her own son, Chengqing, and the first four sons of Consort Ma Jia, along with some other unfavored concubines, had not given birth to many princes, let alone princesses.

At first, it could be said that their bodies hadn't fully developed, but with so many medicinal herbs in the palace, surely they could support newborns? Even if they couldn't support one or two, surely they could support all of them.

Chengqing, on the other hand, was the most wronged. He was Kangxi's first son. The Empress wanted to give birth to the eldest son of the legitimate wife, so Chengqing died when he was only three years old. The entire harem was controlled by the Empress, so she could not find any evidence. Even if she did find evidence, Kangxi would not stand up for her.

After all, the Empress's grandfather had contributed a great deal to Kangxi's rule.

No one except those in her own palace knew what Consort Nara was angry about. After all, she had been cultivating her influence in the palace for so long and was a bondservant, so she naturally had a certain network of connections.

After throwing a tantrum, Consort Nara looked at the mess on the floor and said, "Cuilan, clean up the mess," before leaving the room.

Zhongcui Palace

"Fine, fine! My sons are all dead, so why can she still get pregnant? Don't think I don't know how they all died!" Consort Ma Jia said, tears streaming down her face.

After all, the loss of one child after another was a huge blow to her. She was Kangxi's first woman, and she was indeed quite spoiled at first, even in front of the Empress.

In the beginning, Kangxi spent most of his time in his palace.

After all, the Empress was not favored by Emperor Kangxi, and she was the most beautiful woman in the harem.

So when she was pregnant, she cut off some of the favor from the unfavored Consort Shu.

He even dared to intercept the Empress's favor once.

At the time, the Empress acted very well and was very dignified, saying that she was pregnant and it was only right for the Emperor to accompany her. But then she ran into trouble.

For some reason, the baby was kept in the womb for too long when she gave birth, and was born weak.

Although he was heartbroken, he calmly recuperated while investigating the cause. Eventually, he vaguely discovered that the Empress was behind it.

He dared not investigate any further; at that time, the Emperor truly needed Sony's support.

He raised his first son for three years, but ultimately lost him.

Consort Ma recalled her pregnancy. When Emperor Kangxi learned of her pregnancy, he was truly happy. In those days, he visited her palace every day to keep her company and ask how the baby was doing.

She was indeed very happy during that period.

………………

Consort Ma Jia couldn't help but cry softly. Not only her first child, but also her three previous children were like this.

None of them survived.

While crying, she tightly clutched her handkerchief in her hands, "No, no, how could she give birth to a son after harming my son?"

"Chengrui, my dear child, you are watching from heaven. She will definitely not have a good end."

After her initial grief, Consort Ma Jia rallied, wiped away her tears, and said, "Hesheli, I'll watch how you give birth to this son."

………………

As for Wanwan, she was truly happy to hear that Kunning Palace had sent someone to tell her that she no longer needed to pay her respects.

Jingren Palace

"That's great! I don't have to get up in the morning anymore. Although I only get up on the 5th and 10th of each month, it's really hard to get up that early in the morning. Tingyu, go and tell the kitchen to make a table full of my favorite dishes. I'm going to have a good meal today, and I won't have to go to pay my respects tomorrow."

Tingyu knew that Wanwan didn't like others making decisions for her, so she didn't try to persuade her. Eating at night wasn't good, and she knew Wanwan wouldn't listen anyway.

"I'll go right away. And Your Highness, the kitchen sent over a piece of beef today. Shall we cook it together?" Tingyu said.

Wanwan never expected such a pleasant surprise! In the Qing Dynasty, cattle were a major source of labor and were generally not allowed to be slaughtered, except in special cases or when they died unexpectedly.

"Then give me an extra bowl of beef noodles."

besides………………

"The Emperor will definitely not come tonight. Go to the small kitchen and tell them to make a pot, which I will eat with beef."

Emperor Kangxi was with the Empress in Kunning Palace, still immersed in the Empress's eternal joy.

Wanwan, of course, enjoyed a delicious meal at Jingren Palace.

The next morning

As mentioned before, Wanwan doesn't get up in the morning unless there are special circumstances, so she is naturally sleeping at this time.

After the court session, Emperor Kangxi did not go to Jingren Palace. Instead, he went to Kunning Palace to inquire about the Empress's well-being. After having breakfast with the Empress, he went to Qianqing Palace to review memorials.

If you sleep until the sun is high in the sky, when Wanwan gets up, it's time to have lunch.

"Ah..." Wanwan yawned.

"Tingyu, assist me with my washing and grooming."

Hearing what Wanwan said, Tingyu and Tingfeng, who were waiting outside, immediately entered the dormitory and helped Wanwan get up.

Because Wanwan doesn't like unfamiliar people entering her dormitory, so far only Tingyu and Tingfeng are allowed to enter her dormitory to tidy up.

………………

Wanwan was eating lunch, but it wasn't really lunch yet because it wasn't time yet. However, since she was used to three meals a day, she had just eaten lunch earlier than usual.
