While the imperial physician was taking Consort Wuya's pulse, Emperor Kangxi entered. He paid no attention to the two concubines who bowed to him, focusing only on Consort Wuya, whose face was rosy on the bed.

"But what can be done?" Kangxi asked hastily as he saw the imperial physician turn around.

"Greetings..." The imperial physician was interrupted abruptly by Kangxi. "No need for such formalities. How is Consort Wuya? Is the imperial fetus safe?"

"Your Majesty, Consort Wuya is not pregnant!" The imperial physician, who was about to get up, knelt down again upon hearing Kangxi's words, trembling as he spoke.

"What? Impossible! Not only is your period late, but you're also nauseous, vomiting, and have no appetite." How could she not be pregnant? Chu Yao didn't believe it at all.

"What's going on?" Kangxi looked at the imperial physician with suspicion.

"Your Majesty, Consort Wuya is only experiencing an adverse reaction due to abdominal bloating. She is not pregnant. If Your Majesty does not believe me, Your Majesty can have several imperial physicians examine Consort Wuya."

The imperial physician was in a terrible mood! He regretted coming here. He had overheard the palace maid who summoned him and assumed she was indeed pregnant, hoping to gain a reward. Instead, he found himself in a miserable situation.

"Liang Jiugong, go and fetch a few imperial physicians," Kangxi instructed Liang Jiugong, still clinging to a sliver of hope.

Once all the imperial physicians had given the same explanation, Chu Yao looked at the still unconscious Consort Wuya and thought to herself, "That's it. Consort Wuya has actually woken up, but she was frightened into fainting again by the imperial physicians' words."

"Hmph!" Kangxi left Yonghe Palace with a livid face, his expression so stern that it made everyone who saw him want to kneel down.

"How pitiful. Although this is not a crime of deceiving the emperor, it has displeased the emperor. Sister Wuya, your good days are over."

Consort Wang turned and left in high spirits. They hadn't dared to stop Kangxi just now, for fear that he would take his anger out on them.

“Why should Sister Wang bother with someone who has fallen out of favor? Let’s go! Lest we be tainted by bad luck.” Consort Wanliuha pulled Consort Wang, who was about to say something, away.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Guo Luoluo? Wasn't she on her way to serve the emperor? How come she was returned to her virginity? How pitiful." A maidservant who was also serving the emperor in the rear hall of the Qianqing Palace said sarcastically.

"What's wrong? Why are you glaring at me? At least I've served the emperor before, which is better than you who haven't!"

Rong Xin was the one who served the emperor the most in the inner palace. However, due to her low status, Emperor Kangxi never included her in the harem, so she could only stay here. Gradually, she managed to build up some connections in the inner palace.

"So what? You can't even see the Emperor now, so what's there to be proud of?" Guo Luoluo Yihua had already fought her many times, and she was like an unkillable cockroach, losing again and again, but fighting on despite her defeats. It was so annoying.

"You, humph, you didn't even qualify to serve the emperor this time, what are you so smug about?" Rong Xin said angrily.

"A good dog doesn't block the way." Guo Luoluo Yihua walked right past her and returned to the house, no longer able to resist slapping the pillow with her hand.

"Damn Uya, you're my nemesis! You just wait, we'll fight to the death!" Guo Luoluo Yihua was now filled with hatred, wishing she could kill Consort Uya immediately.

The next day, Wanyi received the message she wanted and happily ate two more bowls of porridge.

"Your Highness, is the second plan progressing so quickly? If so, then she will likely be relegated to the Cold Palace, if not dead." Granny Kong thought to herself, now that Consort Wuya has been disliked by Emperor Kangxi and has no chance of having children, there is no need to waste energy and manpower on her.

"Let's take action! Guo Luoluo should be entering the harem soon. She's very lucky, and we need to keep suppressing her to reduce her luck."

Wanyi had a strong feeling that once this plan was over, Wuya would never rise again and would only ever be a low-ranking concubine.

"Yes, this servant will go and prepare immediately." Although Granny Kong did not approve, she would not go against Wanyi's wishes.

"Let's go! Let's go play at Cining Palace!" It had been a while since she had been to Cining Palace, so she asked Hongxiu to bring some snacks and then left.

"This humble servant greets the Empress Dowager! Greetings, Empress Dowager." Wanyi could enter Cining Palace directly upon arrival, which distinguished her from the other concubines in the harem.

"Wan'er is here, please sit." Before Bumbutai could say anything, the Empress Dowager stepped forward and pulled Wanyi over to sit next to her.

"You! The arrival of these young people has completely overshadowed this old woman. Young girls are so energetic," Bumbutai teased the Empress Dowager.

“Uncle, let’s not be friendly with them either. Let’s be friendly and let her be envious.” Before Wanyi could say anything, she was interrupted by the Borjigit concubine’s hearty laughter.

"Sister Borjigit".

"Sister Wanyi, you've arrived so early." Consort Borjigit entered and greeted Wanyi before walking to Bumbutai's side.

"This humble servant has only just arrived." Wanyi would refer to herself as a humble servant only in the Cining Palace and Shou Kang Palace, and she did the same in front of the Borjigit concubine.

At this moment, Granny He led the palace maids in to serve tea. When Bumbutai picked up the tea, a little palace maid next to her unconsciously trembled, but no one noticed.

"The way this tea is being brewed is getting worse and worse. It used to be alright, but now it's so bad that it makes me lose all desire to drink it." Bumbutai took only a sip and then put the tea down unhappily.

"Please forgive me, Empress Dowager!" The little palace maid trembled with fear. This was not the first time, but she didn't know when it started, but the Empress Dowager was always dissatisfied with the tea they brewed.

"Uncle, is the tea too strong?" Consort Borjigit asked, sipping the strong-smelling pre-rain Longjing tea.

"It's too bland, not cooked enough!"

The old woman who served tea to Bumbutai was too old and had already left the palace to retire. In fact, that old woman had already trained a successor, but the previous one had been demoted to the laundry department. The current Bumbutai was already very patient.

"Go down and brew another cup." Granny He was afraid that this person would also be demoted, and those who hadn't been trained yet might also be punished.

"Yes, this servant will go right away." The little palace maid hurriedly retreated.

“Sister Wanyi, I remember you know tea ceremony, right? Why don’t you show me your skills and let me taste your craft!” Consort Borjigit looked at Wanyi with shining eyes.

"You know tea ceremony?" Bumbutai looked at Wanyi in surprise. She was an imperial concubine, how could she know this? Usually, imperial concubines would just serve tea.

"Your Majesty, I had some free time and heard that His Majesty enjoys tea, so I learned a little to please him. I hope my humble tea skills will not disturb Your Majesty's refined enjoyment," Wanyi said modestly.

"Even the Emperor praised Wanyi's tea as delicious, how could it be considered vulgar? Granny He, please take Wanyi to the tea room. Wanyi, you'd better work hard! Don't embarrass me." Consort Borjigit's words made Wanyi even more disgusted with her, but she didn't show it on her face and even nodded with a smile.
