"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, great news!" Liang Jiugong shouted as he ran in.

Emperor Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong with displeasure, "What kind of behavior is this, all this rushing around like this? You should tone it down a bit, you're showing your gap teeth!"

Liang Jiugong's smile froze instantly. [When you hear this, your laughter will be even more exaggerated than mine!]

"This servant is overjoyed! This servant has come to report the good news to His Majesty!"

"What good news is there to report?" Kangxi asked. [Is someone in the harem pregnant again?]

"Your Majesty, He Zhu just reported that the Crown Princess has been pregnant for over a month!"

Upon hearing this, Kangxi immediately stood up from his seat and asked, "Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true, He Zhu is waiting outside the door!"

"Let him in, I want to question him myself!" Kangxi walked down directly.

Liang Jiugong immediately called He Zhu in.

"This servant greets Your Majesty!" He Zhu bowed to Emperor Kangxi.

"Is it true that the Crown Princess has been diagnosed with pregnancy?" Kangxi asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, it's true! Imperial Physician Wang confirmed it himself!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Kangxi said several times. He didn't expect that the Crown Prince's strange illness would be cured so soon after his marriage.

"Liang Jiugong," Kangxi said to Liang Jiugong, "go to my storeroom and pick out some things that the Crown Princess likes to send to her."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liang Jiugong quickly replied.

Kangxi added, “The Crown Princess’s pregnancy is a great joy. The palace servants of Qianqing Palace and Yuqing Palace will be rewarded, and the reward money will come from my own pocket.”

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty." Liang Jiugong and He Zhu immediately knelt down to express their gratitude.

At the same time, the Crown Prince also told the people of Yuqing Palace that everyone in Yuqing Palace would be given a year's salary, and the entire Yuqing Palace was immersed in joy.

After He Zhu left, Kangxi immediately summoned Liang Jiugong to Cining Palace to report the good news to the Empress Dowager.

Inside the Cining Palace, Xingchi and the Empress Dowager were both present. The Empress Dowager's health had been poor recently, so Xingchi and the Empress Dowager came to the Cining Palace every day to keep her company.

After arriving at Cining Palace, Emperor Kangxi first inquired about the Empress Dowager's health with concern before informing her of He Xue's pregnancy.

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's eyes lit up instantly, and she smiled with satisfaction. "This is truly a joyous occasion! I have been looking forward to this day for a long time."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "He Xue looks like she's blessed; she got pregnant not long after getting married!"

The Empress Dowager nodded. "Your Majesty, He Xue needs special care during her pregnancy; there can be no negligence. You must ensure that both mother and child are safe and sound!"

Emperor Kangxi said, "Don't worry, Grandmother, I will assign someone to take care of the Crown Princess's diet and daily life to ensure that she gives birth to the imperial heir smoothly."

Everyone was happy to hear that He Xue was pregnant, except for Xing Chi, who looked worried.

"Xuan Ye, is this child the Crown Prince?" Xing Chi asked, voicing his doubts.

Kangxi looked at Xingchi in shock. He had always known that his father was unreliable, but he never expected him to say something so absurd.

The Empress Dowager was displeased upon hearing this. "Baldy, how could you say such a thing? He Xue is the Crown Prince's lawfully wedded wife, so this child naturally belongs to the Crown Prince!"

Can you think before you speak? Luckily there was no one else around today, otherwise how would He Xue establish herself in the future? You're not just doubting He Xue, you're doubting the Crown Prince.

"You're lucky you became a monk, otherwise, would the royal family still be in peace with you causing so much trouble?"

Xingchi looked completely innocent. "I was just saying it offhand. Besides, weren't there rumors before that the Crown Prince had some problems?"

The Empress Dowager was also somewhat angry. "Qiqige is right. Public opinion is a fearsome thing. Your words imply that there is a problem with this child's bloodline. This is the Crown Prince's legitimate son. What will become of him in the future?"

The child in Xue's womb is the legitimate heir and grandson. After the crown prince ascends the throne, this child may become the second crown prince of the Qing Dynasty. However, once Xingchi makes such a statement, someone will definitely make a fuss about it.

“Empress Mother, I was just worried, so I asked casually!” Xingchi said.

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "If I hear such nonsense again, don't blame me for turning ruthless!"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Xingchi dared not say anything more.

The Empress Dowager sighed softly; Xingchi had indeed gone too far this time.

Kangxi said to Xingchi, "Father, you can rest assured, the Crown Prince is fine, and this child is fine too! You don't need to worry about those messy things!"

Xingchi awkwardly touched his nose and remained silent.
