Concubine Yi and Huanxiang looked in the direction of the voice and saw Uya walking in with a familiar look on her face.
"I never thought that one day I would be able to share a bedroom with my sister. This fate is truly sad."
Although Concubine Yi is of the same rank as Uya, she is proud of her former status and naturally does not want to talk about sisterhood with a woman who is a foot-washing maid and climbs into the emperor's bed.
That was why he didn't give Uya a good look when he saw her coming, and just drank the rose water by himself.
Uya had never expected that Concubine Yi had fallen to such a state and dared to act so arrogantly in front of her. She was very angry in her heart, but she did not show it on her face.
"I heard that the reason I moved to Chengqian Palace was because of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's suggestion to the Emperor. Is that true?"
Concubine Yi's eyes flashed.
As soon as she heard this, she knew that Uya was up to no good and might be saying something to sow discord.
But she was so proud of her intelligence that she would never be fooled by a foot-washing maid.
So, with the intention of testing Uya, he nodded, "Indeed."
Wu Ya sighed.
"I think you know it too, sister. The Imperial Concubine was confined to her house because she offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. She wasn't even let out on New Year's Eve. Although you accidentally injured His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he holds a grudge. Isn't this just pushing you into the fire pit?"
Concubine Yi raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean by that?"
Wu Ya pretended to be shocked, "Don't you know that your child will be raised by the Imperial Concubine after it is born?"
Concubine Yi's eyes widened instantly, and even Huanxiang was shocked.
Upon seeing this, Uya looked around privately and confirmed that there were only three of them and no fourth person before she continued.
"Such an obvious thing, sister, have you really not thought of it?"
Concubine Yi's head was buzzing.
She thought the imperial concubine might be plotting against her child, but she didn't expect it to be so straightforward.
"What does Sister Wuya want to say?"
When Uya saw Concubine Yi's attitude change, she knew that she had listened to her words to some extent.
"The Imperial Concubine nearly had the Crown Prince killed, yet the Emperor only confined her to her house without demoting her. It's clear how much the Emperor values her family. Now, he's sending his pregnant sister to Chengqian Palace. Isn't this clearly letting the Imperial Concubine take advantage? Otherwise, with her sister's favor, she could easily use her pregnancy to restore her position."
"So, the Emperor most likely placed you in Chengqian Palace out of consideration for the Crown Prince's feelings and to give the Imperial Concubine a child. As long as the Imperial Concubine manipulates you during labor, the child will be born, but you will die in childbirth. In the end... this way, they've both eliminated you and avenged the Crown Prince, and given the Imperial Concubine a child. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
Concubine Yi was completely frozen.
Wu Ya continued, "They've achieved two goals at once, but you, sister... not only have you gained nothing, you might even lose your life."
Concubine Yi knew that Uya said these words deliberately to provoke others, but there was some truth in her words.
She originally thought that the imperial concubine might take the child away, but she didn't expect that she might also die in childbirth.
If she thought about it carefully, she was the daughter of Guo Luoluo after all. How could she let someone else take the child away after giving birth to it?
Only death can completely cut off this child's retreat.
Huanxiang saw that her mother's child was getting whiter and whiter, and was worried that if she continued to talk about it, it would affect the baby in her belly, so she could only say, "Master, you should take the medicine to stabilize the pregnancy."
Concubine Yi knew that Huanxiang was reminding her, so she calmed herself down and looked at Uya.
"Thank you for telling me this, sister. I'm a little tired, so I won't keep you talking any longer."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Uya did not linger any longer, but bowed and left.
As soon as Huanxiang saw the man leave, she began to persuade him.
"Master, please take good care of yourself and your children, and don't let these unfounded words bother you."
Concubine Yi shook her head and said, "You should go out first. I need to think carefully about some things."
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
While Kangxi was outside meeting with ministers to review memorials, Yinreng was copying the "Book of Filial Piety" in his bedroom.
This copy was originally made by Kangxi for Xiaozhuang's birthday. Now that Kangxi's birthday was approaching, Yinreng decided to copy one as well.
The little prince was copying the "Book of Filial Piety" stroke by stroke when he saw Yinzhi being carried in from outside.
It was still very cold outside at this time. Generally, Yinreng would only go out to get some fresh air at noon, and would stay in his bedroom to keep warm at other times.
Now I feel surprised when I see the mistress wrapped like a dumpling.
"Why is Xiao San here?"
Yinreng put down his brush and walked towards Yinzhi.
Ting He, who was following behind Yin Zhi, bowed and said with a smile, "Third Prince keeps yelling at Second Brother. Your Majesty has no choice but to ask this servant to bring Third Prince over to sit for a while. If this disturbs His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this servant will take him back immediately."
That's a polite thing to say.
Now that we have brought a child of this age here, how can we let someone take him back so soon? What if he gets sick?
Yinreng waved his hand, "Nothing, I can just have some fun with Xiaosan."
Yinreng stepped forward and pinched Yinzhi's red cheeks, "Xiaosan, is it cold outside?"
Yinzhi could already understand some words, but he couldn't speak fluently yet.
After nodding, he spoke word by word.
"Cold...very cold."
After saying this, he shuddered a little, which made Yinreng laugh so hard that he fell backwards.
She took Yinzhi's hand and walked to the stove and stopped. "It's warm here. Let's warm up here for a while and then play, okay?"
Yinzhi nodded obediently.
