"What? You're pregnant too. It's been a few months, and I haven't heard anything."

Kangxi clearly remembered that he had not touched anyone except Mu Sili for more than a month. He couldn't help but wonder whether Wu Yachangzai's child was his.

As soon as Mu Sili saw his expression, she knew what he was thinking. He felt helpless. Why didn't this guy play by the rules?

Wu Yachang was also shocked by his words. She had thought of thousands of reasons, but she had never thought that Kangxi would suspect that the child was not his.

She is not a fool, how could she do such a stupid thing? If she really did something to defile the harem, not only herself but also her family would be implicated. Does she look so stupid?

"Your Majesty, I just recently learned that I'm pregnant. I'm exactly three months pregnant."

Three months? Everyone looked at her differently. It was obvious that they had known about her pregnancy for a long time but had been hiding it.

"Wu Ya Chang Zai is indeed a concubine who rose from a maid. She has mastered this little trick very well. People who don't know would probably think that someone in our harem wants to harm you, so they asked you to hide the news of your pregnancy."

"That's right. Concubine Zhao was also pregnant but she didn't think of hiding it. Instead, she openly admitted the news of her pregnancy. You are different, tsk tsk tsk."

Wu Yachang's face turned pale and blue. If she had known that Mu Sili would reveal the news of her pregnancy today, she would have said it earlier.

Today's incident must have made Kangxi and the Imperial Noble Consort unhappy. It was originally a happy event, but now she is like a joke.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wuya is also pregnant. This shows that Heaven favors you greatly. Otherwise, how could such a triple blessing come together on a day like today? In another six months, you will have another child. I congratulate you."

Mu Sili's words were so sincere and heartfelt, but Kangxi felt that she was speaking in a sarcastic way. The child was born three months ago, and she had not yet slept with him at that time, so it was no wonder he was so angry.

"I'm still looking forward to the baby in your belly. I'd love it even if it's a princess. You must take good care of yourself and give me a healthy child. I'll think of a name for him when I get back later."

The corners of Mu Sili's mouth kept twitching. She had just announced the news of her pregnancy. Was he a little too excited?

"I will definitely take good care of myself, but have you forgotten something? Concubine Wu Ya is also pregnant, please at least show some concern for her."

"Since you are pregnant, take good care of the baby. You will live in Chengqian Palace, and this baby will be handed over to the Imperial Concubine. I don't want anything to happen to the baby in her belly."

Concubine Tong was unhappy because Wu Yachang had kept the news of her pregnancy a secret from her for three months. If she had known in advance that she was pregnant, she would have started preparing long ago. How could she be caught off guard?

Fortunately, she was not the only one who announced her pregnancy today, otherwise, given Kangxi's character, he would definitely promote her.

This is better. At least compared to Mu Sili, she is right under her nose. This child is destined to be hers, and she will definitely take good care of her.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Wu Ya Changzai is still a member of my palace, and now that she is pregnant with the royal heir, I will definitely take good care of her. You can rest assured."

Wu Yachang was silent. She had already anticipated how Concubine Tong would deal with her after returning to Chengqian Palace.

She regretted it, she really regretted it so much. If she had known that today would be such a Shura scene, she would have told Concubine Tong the moment she found out she was pregnant, instead of hiding it and hoping to make a splash.

"Today is the Emperor's birthday. I never expected that both Concubine Zhao and Concubine Wuya are pregnant. This is a good sign. In a few months, there will be a new baby in the harem. I am very happy."

Xiaozhuang was a little unhappy. She had originally planned to ask Kangxi to promote Mu Sili to a concubine, but she didn't expect that Wu Ya Changzai would appear halfway. If she only promoted Mu Sili, wouldn't people gossip about her?

But she would feel uncomfortable if she was not promoted. After all, she had already said it. If she did not follow through, it would seem that she was not sincere enough. The child was devoted to her, and she could not let her down.

Besides, it is obvious that Wu Ya Changzai is a scheming person, otherwise she would not have waited until the baby was three months pregnant before announcing the news of her pregnancy, and she announced it on Kangxi’s birthday. Her ambition is too obvious.

Perhaps realizing that Empress Xiaozhuang intended to elevate her status, Mu Sili hurriedly came to her side and squatted down.

"It is a great blessing for me to be favored by the Empress Dowager. Please don't be unhappy because of a small thing. If you really want to reward me, why not give me a set of headgear?

I heard Aunt Suma say that you have several sets of headgear brought from Khorchin. I am very curious. Please give me one set."

Xiaozhuang looked at her helplessly. She knew that she was unhappy and was deliberately trying to cheer her up. She knew that she was the most caring person in the palace.

"Okay, okay, since you like it, I'll give it all to you, as long as you give me a healthy great-grandson."

"Then don't worry. I will definitely give you a healthy great-granddaughter. I just had a dream. This baby is a princess."

"Princess? Princess is fine too. Bloom first and then bear fruit. I like both princesses and princes."

After the banquet, Kangxi took Mu Sili away. Concubine Tong did not express any dissatisfaction. Her heart and eyes were now filled with Wu Yachang.

"I never thought that one of my own people would keep secrets from me. Uya, you are truly worthy of my cultivation. What, have you forgotten your promise to me?"

Wu Yachang was so frightened by these words that she knelt on the ground. She did have selfish motives and wanted to gain more bargaining chips through this child, but the most important thing was that she wanted to keep the child.

After all, it was her child, how could she not like him? It was just that she was able to become a concubine because she agreed to Concubine Tong's request and was pushed out to consolidate her favor. If she dared to go back on her word, she would not let her go.

Well, she can have another child, but she only has this one chance to be promoted. Only if she becomes a high-ranking concubine can she have her own child. However, it is not so easy for her to have a child.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. I concealed my pregnancy for your sake. Think about it, if the news of my pregnancy gets out, how can those of you sit still?

I will keep my word and will never go back on my word. The reason I didn't tell you is that I was worried that they would attack me secretly. This is the child I gave birth to for you, and I dare not let him suffer any harm.

Of course, I know my behavior is wrong, but there are so many people in the palace, and I'm worried someone might take advantage of the situation and attack me. If your Majesty is still angry, please kick me out. I have no complaints."
