The imperial physician took her pulse, his brows gradually relaxing. He smiled and said, "The princess is in good health. Although she gave birth to quadruplets, she took good care of herself during her postpartum period. Now that she is one month pregnant, both the princess and the fetuses are healthy and there is nothing to worry about. Just proceed as normal."

Yinzhen nodded in satisfaction, gave the imperial physician some money, and instructed Li Desong to deliver the imperial physician and report the good news to the palace.

After the imperial physician left, Qingyin leaned against the soft pillows and smiled slightly, "Your Highness can finally rest assured now."

"I am always worried about Rou'er, no matter how careful I am. I won't be by your side during this southern tour. How about I leave Li Desong with you?"

Seeing Yinzhen's serious and thoughtful expression, Qingyin smiled helplessly and said, "Li Desong is the master's personal eunuch who has always been with him. How can he stay with me? I have several concubines, and my mother is also in the palace. What is there to worry about? Is the master going on a southern tour and not coming back?"

"Of course not..."

"That's it. Just take good care of our child, Grandpa."

Because Qingyin is pregnant, her meals have been changed to dishes that pregnant women can eat, and the little ones are also looking at Qingyin's belly with curiosity.

When it comes to her children's education, Qingyin has always believed in giving them the right to know, so she didn't hide the news of her pregnancy from her children.

"Is Mother carrying a little sister?"

Qingyin glanced at the restless Yin Tang, successfully earning an even more guilty look from him.

Didn't he hear that if children's blessings came true? Although he also loved his son, he couldn't help but smile at the thought of a sweet, soft little princess calling him "Father."

Qingyin glanced again at the brightly lit twin boys in the system detection. It seemed that Yinzhen and the children would be disappointed again this time.

She sighed inwardly. This body had the gene for multiple births, and this time the twins were conceived naturally, which surprised her.

She smiled and said to Xiao Hongzheng, who had asked the question, "It will be a few more months before I can see the baby in my belly. When you come back with your father and grandfather, you will see that my belly is getting bigger."

"Okay, Mother, stay home and be good. I'll bring you some pretty flowers."

"Then I'll bring something delicious for my mother."

...

The children vied to speak, and Qingyin watched this scene with a faint smile.

"Good, good, you are all my good babies."

Seeing the scene of motherly love and filial piety, Yinzhen smiled and said, "Alright, stop bothering your mother and eat properly."

"Yes, Father," the children replied in their childish voices.

The children ate with great relish, quickly finishing more than half of a bowl of goat milk and a plate of meat. Seeing how much they enjoyed their meal, Qingyin also had a better appetite and ate an extra small plate of porridge.

Although Yinzhen's appearance hasn't changed much, his overall demeanor has softened considerably, making him seem less aloof than before.

Unlike his previous affection for the Eighth Prince, Yinzhen is now clearly in a neutral position, neither favoring either side, and has no ambition for the top position. The other princes are more at ease with Yinzhen because he has no ambition.

In the darkened Prince He's mansion, inside the inner room, the lit lamps of Yinzhen were gently massaging Qingyin's calves. During her pregnancy, Yinzhen would massage Qingyin's legs for a while before she went to sleep, and his massage movements were skilled and professional.

Yinzhen looked at Qingyin, who was lying on the soft couch, enjoying herself so much that her eyes were closed. His eyes were full of tenderness, and he chuckled, "After I leave in a few days, I will have Zeng Li and the others massage you for a while every day. If you feel uncomfortable, just let Mother know."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, there are Mother's people in the Prince's Mansion too." Qingyin smiled gently and patted Yinzhen's hand tenderly.

"Besides, Your Highness will only be gone for a month or two at most. I will wait for you in the Prince's Mansion."

"Okay." Qingyin's gentle yet firm words slightly dispelled Yinzhen's worries.

Yinzhen didn't mention his worries. The changes in the court were rapid, and as a prince in the midst of it, he was most aware of these changes. Thinking of his elder brother, who was fiercely fighting with the Crown Prince, and his eighth brother, whose intentions were unclear, his eyes darkened slightly.

This southern tour might cause some trouble, but no matter what happens, it won't affect his palace. Thinking of the secrets he kept in the palace and the palace, Yinzhen got up and gently carried his sleepy wife, who was being massaged, to the bed.

Even though his young wife had given birth to quadruplets and was pregnant again, she didn't look like a mother of four. Her face was as tender as a young girl just reaching marriageable age, with extremely beautiful almond-shaped eyes, rosy lips, and long, glossy black hair—all of which made her the most beautiful young wife. Yinzhen gently placed a kiss on Qingyin's lips.

He will protect his wife and children well.

Because Qingyin was pregnant, Consort Yi also sent a letter to comfort Qingyin, saying that she could come and stay with her for a few days if she had time and felt comfortable.

Originally, Yinzhen should have taken a concubine with him when he went out, but because of his private reasons and Qingyin's impeccable face, Kangxi ruled out the possibility of adding a few more concubines for the Ninth Prince. If Kangxi didn't mention it, Consort Yi was even less likely to. She had treated Qingyin like her own daughter when she was still living in Yikun Palace, not to mention that she now had four beautiful grandsons and Qingyin was pregnant again. She was so happy that she could wake up laughing in her dreams every day.

How could they possibly give Yinzhi a concubine for no reason? So this time, Yinzhi only brought his four sons with him, and Kangxi turned a blind eye to it.

The two concubines previously bestowed upon the mansion by Emperor Kangxi, though ostensibly concubines, had in reality been replaced by Yinzhen's own people and were now diligently working for the mansion. Meanwhile, the original concubines, thanks to Yinzhen's guarantee, were living carefree lives among the common people. One married a scholar she found attractive, while the other, with the money she had earned, opened a successful shop and was extremely busy with her business, successfully recruiting them to work for Yinzhen through her abilities.
