That's because He Zhuo stopped paying respects to the emperor as soon as she became pregnant, and only resumed it around four or five months into her pregnancy. Then, she stopped paying respects again around eight months into her pregnancy. Each time she paid respects, it was only for a short while, so the little ones naturally didn't know.

Little Treasure has already started school and knows what the women in the backyard are for. They know that the children they give birth to will steal Father's attention, and that these women will take away things from her and her three younger brothers when they give birth to younger brothers. So when Little Treasure looks at Princess Guan's belly, she silently thinks: It's a sister, it's a sister, it's a sister.

Guan Gege had been helped aside by her maid, and everyone in the courtyard was waiting for the imperial physician; no one was eating anymore.

While waiting, He Zhuo had melons and watermelons served, and the three little princesses, Fang Wan, Fang Ning, and Fang Yun, ate them happily.

The melons here are so delicious, I wish I could eat them every day.

Li Gege knew she had no chance of getting pregnant, so she quietly watched the drama unfold.

Fan Gege was so angry that she couldn't eat anything.

When the nanny was about to give it to Princess Guan, He Zhuo stopped her, saying, "Watermelon is cold in nature, so give Princess Fan some honeydew melon instead."

Guan Gege thanked her.

Fan Gege was even angrier. She angrily forked a piece of watermelon and took a big bite, as if she were biting into the other person's flesh and blood.

Yinzhi slowly ate the melon with his fork. In any case, he now had three legitimate sons. If Consort Guan was pregnant, it would be a good thing; if not, it wouldn't matter much.

When the three young princesses, Fangwan, Fangning, and Fangyun, finished eating the melon in front of them, the imperial physician arrived. It was Physician Liu, whom they had invited, but he was off duty today.

"Physician Liu, this is Consort Guan. She vomited a little earlier. Please take a look at her," He Zhuo gestured.

During the examination, Princess Fan wished she could glare the sixth imperial physician's hands until they were pierced.

Will the outcome be as they wish?

Of course not.

After examining her, Physician Liu stepped forward and reported, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Princess Guan's pulse is like a pearl, indicating pregnancy. She should be pregnant in about a month and a half. Princess Guan is in good health and only needs to be cared for as part of her pregnancy."

He Zhuo replied, "Alright, go and write the prescription. Also, tell Guan Gege's maid about any precautions you may have."

After Physician Liu left, everyone congratulated Princess Guan.

He Zhuoxian congratulated Yinzhi: "Today, our prince has another son to celebrate. Congratulations, Your Highness."

The couple shared a drink, and Yinzhi was happy; the slight guilt he had felt earlier was long gone.

He Zhuo's face lit up with joy, and he said with concern, "Princess Guan, you are now pregnant with twins, so you need to be extra careful. You know the rules of our princes' quarters. When you are pregnant, you will be taken care of by a nanny, and your daily necessities will also change. All of these have been arranged. In addition, you are exempt from paying respects for the first three months. Do you have any other requests?"

It would be foolish to make demands in front of so many people, so Guan Gege naturally said she had no demands.

He Zhuo: "Alright, then I'll do it this way."

Tomorrow I will tell Mother about this good news and make her happy. After you go back, I will have Chunfen send your reward over.

Those who aren't pregnant yet, don't worry. Doctor Liu will come tomorrow to examine everyone and prescribe some medicine to help with conception. You're all still young, and you all have a chance to become mothers.”

Yinzhi only said one word from beginning to end: "Reward".

The rewards given by Yinzhi and Hezhuo were exactly the same as those given to Consort Fan when she was pregnant, without the slightest difference.

He Zhuo gave: 2 catties of red dates, 2 taels of white fungus, 4 taels of honey, plus 1 bolt of palace silk, 1 bolt of damask, 1 bolt of Lu silk, and 3 catties of cotton.

Yinzhi gave: 2 bolts of palace silk, 2 bolts of damask, two plain silver hairpins, a pair of plain silver bracelets, a pair of silver earrings, two bowls of white bird's nest, and a pair of Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain vases (with pomegranate flower patterns, made in folk kilns).
