Kangxi finally realized that the brat was trying to build relationships with Concubine Hui.
"You don't like Concubine Niu?"
Could it be that Concubine Niu also made things difficult for him in his previous life?
Yinreng shook his head.
"That's not the case. I just feel that Empress Hui has a hard time."
[It won't be long before Concubine Niu becomes Imperial Concubine Wenxi, and Tong Jia's house arrest should be lifted in two months. How will Empress Hui cope with the situation then?]
Kangxi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I will go to Concubine Hui tonight."
Kangxi did what he said. He rested in the Yanx Palace for the next few days, which made Concubine Hui very happy except for the first day. But she was worried for the rest of the days.
"Rui Xue, why has the Emperor been staying in the Yanxi Palace these past few days? I'm feeling uneasy."
Ruixue was also a little confused.
"Are you worrying too much, Your Majesty? The Emperor's staying with us shows his respect for you. This is also a reminder to Concubine Niu to stop playing tricks in front of you."
Concubine Hui was puzzled. "Is it really so? Alas, my status cannot be compared with Concubine Niu's. If the emperor wants to support the Niuhulu family, he can give her my power in the palace. But now, I feel uneasy."
Since she entered the palace, she has never served the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber continuously, let alone for several days in a row.
She no longer had the intention to show off in front of her other sisters. She just wanted to know what the emperor meant.
Wouldn't it be like giving someone a sweet treat and then giving them a beating?
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Concubine Hui thought this tactic was feasible.
"Later, go to Yuqing Palace and bring some refreshments to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If you can meet His Royal Highness, find a chance to inquire about this."
Ruixue nodded heavily.
In Yuqing Palace, Yinreng had just finished class and was about to have lunch when he saw Ruixue walking in with a food box. Yinreng was a little surprised.
"Is there something wrong, Madam Hui?"
Ruixue didn't expect Yinreng to be so smart. He guessed her purpose directly, took out the things, and told Huifei about her distress and speculation in recent days.
"Our Queen wants to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to find out why the Emperor suddenly... suddenly..."
Yinreng was speechless and wanted to laugh, but he didn't want to tell Huifei the truth, as it would be too hurtful.
After thinking for a moment, Yinreng said, "Concubine Niu has a powerful family background. Perhaps she will be promoted to the throne soon. This will put a lot of pressure on Empress Hui. So the Emperor is thinking of supporting Empress Hui."
Ruixue was shocked.
They never dared to think about this place.
The main thing is that the emperor... is he so considerate?
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reminder. I will go back and tell the Master right away."
Yinreng nodded.
When she returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity that night, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Kangxi had no plans to go to the harem that day.
"Father Emperor, why didn't you go to see Empress Hui today?"
Kangxi was puzzled, "Are you jealous?"
Yinreng spat out all the tea he had just drunk.
[Huang Ama, listen to what you are saying.]
Kangxi felt a little embarrassed.
"I've been going to the Yanxi Palace these past few days. I think I'm supporting her. If I continue going there, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will come looking for me."
As the father and son were talking, Liang Jiugong ran in, looking a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, news has come from the Yikun Palace that Concubine Yi is experiencing fetal movement and is about to give birth."
Yinreng was very surprised and asked, "What day is today?"
Liang Jiugong was puzzled, thinking that Yinreng was trying to find an auspicious date. After thinking for a while, he said, "Today is the third day of August."
"Oh, there's no rush."
Kangxi:?
Liang Jiugong:?
[The fifth child's birthday is the fourth day of the eighth lunar month, so he probably won't be born until after midnight.]
After hearing this voice, Kangxi also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Send someone to inform Concubine Hui and ask her to go over and keep an eye on it. I will go there later."
Liang Jiugong accepted the order and withdrew.
Yinreng was a little surprised.
[Both the Concubine Yi in the previous life and the Concubine Yi in this life were very favored. Now that they were about to give birth, the Emperor surprisingly didn't rush over immediately.]
【It's really rare.】
Kangxi: What's the point of going so early? Let's go later.
After the father and son finished their dinner, Yinreng stayed in the Qianqing Palace to review his lessons, while Kangxi slowly went to the Yikun Palace.
When he arrived, Concubine Niu and Concubine Hui had already arrived, and seven-month-old Dai Jia was also waiting by the side.
After paying his respects, Kangxi looked at Concubine Hui and asked, "How is Concubine Yi doing?"
"The imperial physician said that I won't be able to give birth for a while, but I have already ordered people to prepare ginseng slices and medicinal soups in case of emergency."
"You did a great job."
Kangxi was very satisfied.
From beginning to end, Concubine Niu didn't say a word, but just sat quietly by the side like a mascot.
Sure enough, just after midnight, sounds were heard from the bedroom, which were joyful and anxious shouts.
Concubine Hui frowned, the tone sounded a bit bad.
"Sister Hui, is this how all births happen?"
Concubine Niu's face was a little pale, and it was obvious that she was a little nervous.
Concubine Hui then remembered that there was a high-ranking concubine sitting here who had just come to the bed with her. After thinking for a while, she said, "It depends on the individual's physical condition. Concubine Yi had a miscarriage before, so maybe she hasn't been well-educated."
Seeing that Concubine Niu didn't relax, she continued, "Don't worry, sister. Take good care of your body before you get pregnant, and be careful when you get pregnant. As long as you are in good health and haven't had a miscarriage, there will basically be no big problem."
Only then did Concubine Niu breathe a sigh of relief.
