Kangxi knew that the imperial concubine was smart and must have come to ask him to keep the child, but he could not leave any hidden dangers for Baocheng.
When the imperial concubine came in with the palace maid, he saw that the little palace maid was holding a food box in her hand. He thought that she was begging for mercy under the pretext of sending him food.
Kangxi frowned. He didn't like women interfering in his decisions.
And once he makes a decision, no one else will be able to refute it.
"I pay my respects to the Emperor."
"Get up, the imperial concubine will give you a seat."
The palace maid immediately brought a chair over, and the imperial concubine sat down without hesitation.
"What brings you here, Concubine?"
The imperial concubine smiled and said, "I believe the emperor already knows that I am pregnant. I came here today for this child."
Kangxi just looked at her but said nothing.
The imperial concubine understood and seemed to have guessed the answer, but for the sake of her child, she still decided to take a gamble.
"I don't know many things. I was just warned before entering the palace that I should just keep to myself and not compete for favors. Now I'm pregnant..."
She paused, then stood up and knelt. "If the Emperor feels this child is born at an inopportune time, I will drink this medicine and tell everyone I fell. I only hope that the Emperor will give me a princess to raise for the rest of my life."
Hongmei took out the abortion pills from the lunch box and held them up.
Kangxi frowned and looked at Liang Jiugong, who immediately summoned the imperial physician to carefully check the medicine.
After confirming that there was indeed abortion medicine in the bowl, Kangxi did not show it on his face, but he was shocked in his heart.
"My Lady, if you really drink this bowl of medicine, you may never have children in this life."
The imperial concubine smiled slightly. "The emperor's child is my child. In the future, the emperor can choose a suitable princess and give her to me to raise. I have no regrets..."
Kangxi clenched his hands tightly.
He had lost too many children in his early years. Even the bowl of medicine he was about to give to Tong Jia was only given to her when she was still childless.
But now the imperial concubine is pregnant. If she really drinks this bowl of medicine, it would be the same as him killing his own child with his own hands.
How could he bear it!
But if the imperial concubine really gave birth to a prince, the identity of this child would be extremely precious.
If he really wants to compete when he grows up, what should Baocheng do?
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has arrived."
Wei Zheng came in to report.
If someone else came, he would definitely not come in to report at this time.
But the one who came was the prince, so even if there were knives in the palace, he had to come in.
Kangxi's eyes lit up, as if he could hear Baocheng's thoughts.
"Come in, Prince Xuan."
After saying that, he glanced at Liang Jiugong again and said, "Help the imperial concubine to sit down."
The imperial concubine felt slightly relieved. Although she didn't know why the prince came at this time, it would be good if this could lead to a turn for the better.
As soon as Yinreng came in, he first saluted Kangxi, and then nodded to the imperial concubine.
"Emperor Father."
Yinreng walked to Kangxi's side, then looked at the imperial concubine and said, "Son heard that the imperial concubine is pregnant. Congratulations, imperial concubine."
The imperial concubine smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Your Highness."
【Oh my, Xiao Shi is coming out. 】
Xiao Shi is a complete brother-con. He's good with whoever Lao Jiu is good with. Although he's of noble status, he doesn't bully others and treats his wife well, which is pretty good.
Perhaps influenced by Laojiu, Xiaoshi is also very interested in foreign things, whether it's objects or language and culture.
[Xiao Shi also became Fumeng's mascot and married a Mongolian girl.]
Kangxi's frown gradually relaxed.
"Baocheng, guess whether the baby in the imperial concubine's belly is a prince or a princess?"
Does the Emperor still think of himself as a child? He actually asks such a childish question.
"Of course it's the tenth brother."
The imperial concubine's expression changed and she immediately looked at Kangxi, but she saw that the other party had only a faint smile on his face, without any displeasure on his face.
"If Baocheng says he is a prince, then he must be a prince."
Kangxi looked at the Imperial Concubine. "When the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia formed an alliance, they usually married princesses. There has never been a precedent for marrying a princess. If the Imperial Concubine really gave birth to the tenth prince, I would marry a Mongolian princess as my consort. What do you think, Imperial Concubine?"
The imperial concubine stood up suddenly, then bit her lip in surprise, "Okay, of course it is okay."
The emperor actually agreed to let her give birth to the child.
Even if it is a prince, he can be raised in peace and security.
Marrying a Mongolian princess completely cut off his chance of becoming the emperor, but she never thought of letting her children succeed him.
As long as I can stay by your side safely, being a rich and leisurely prince would be the best thing.
"If he really is a prince, marrying a Mongolian concubine and living a life of wealth and leisure would be the best."
The imperial concubine almost choked with sobs as she spoke these words.
Kangxi smiled and nodded, "Okay, Concubine, go back and take good care of your health."
Then he looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "Send the concubine out."
Liang Jiugong's face immediately put on a smile, "Your Highness, please."
The imperial concubine saluted the emperor, then bowed to Yinreng, and then followed Liang Jiugong out of the Qianqing Palace.
"Baocheng, why did you think of coming here at this time?"
[Isn't it because I heard that the imperial concubine was pregnant that I hurried here?]
[I was really afraid that if I had come a little later, my tenth brother would have died in the womb.]
Kangxi: This kid has a bad mouth.
"I miss my father. Ever since I moved to Yuqing Palace, I have rarely seen him. I miss him very much."
Kangxi: Although I don’t believe it, it sounds very comfortable to me.
"Since Baocheng misses me, please stay for dinner tonight."
Both father and son enjoyed the meal very much. When Yinreng returned to Yuqing Palace, he saw that the main hall was filled with boxes of various sizes.
The young palace maid came up and explained, "Hongmei, one of the concubines, brought it here with her. I didn't dare to accept it, but Hongmei said the Crown Prince knew about it, so I asked her to keep it."
Yinreng immediately guessed that it was the imperial concubine thanking him for speaking up in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. He smiled and nodded, "He Yuzhu, put it in the warehouse."
Since the imperial concubine has this intention, I will accept this favor.
"Wait a minute, open it and see what's inside."
He was very curious about what was in the boxes that the imperial concubine gave him.
When he opened it, he found that half of it was filled with various jewels, presumably for him to give as a reward, and the other half was filled with snow-white silver ingots.
Yinreng was shocked.
Five boxes of silver ingots, how much money must that be?
He Yuzhu stared with his eyes wide open.
"My Lord, isn't this a bit too much?"
Yinreng pondered for a moment.
It was indeed inappropriate for him to accept so many silver ingots from a concubine, but if he transferred them directly to the emperor, it would not seem good for the imperial concubine either.
"Put it away first. I have plans."
