Consort Rong nodded reservedly, which was considered as approval of the palace maid's intention.
Knowing that the imperial physician would be arriving soon, Dong E Hailan, who had something on her mind, immediately fell silent.
She remained silent, and Consort Rong, who had nearly lost her temper earlier, was even less likely to respond.
The hall fell silent instantly, the silence more oppressive and frightening than any argument.
Consort Rong looked down at her newly painted nails, a beautiful cinnamon red.
Dong E Hailan turned her teacup, leaving the snacks lying motionless beside her.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law faced each other in silence for a while before Physician Zheng arrived carrying his medicine chest.
When he arrived and saw this scene, he immediately felt flustered.
When you encounter a power struggle between your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, you have to be careful what you say.
Physician Zheng lifted his robe, about to kneel and pay his respects to the two noblemen.
Consort Rong raised her eyelids slightly: "Imperial Physician Zheng, there's no need for such formalities. The Third Princess Consort is feeling slightly unwell; please take her pulse first."
Her tone was flat, even somewhat nonchalant.
However, the taut, exposed veins on the back of her hand betrayed her nervousness.
Her son has been married for several years but has no children. If this continues, he will probably become a laughing stock in the court.
Consort Rong had too many concerns, all of which were misguided. She aged several years in vain due to worry, and still didn't receive a kind word from anyone.
Physician Zheng carefully rolled up his sleeves and placed his fingers on Dong E Hailan's wrist.
"This..." Physician Zheng frowned, as if unsure about the pulse: "Third Princess, please switch hands."
Consort Rong stared intently at Dong'e Hailan's wrist, where the blue veins were clearly visible.
Dong E Hailan couldn't help but swallow. In such a tense atmosphere, she wanted to drink some tea to calm down.
"Imperial Physician Zheng, is my daughter-in-law...?" Consort Rong instinctively changed her form of address.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Third Princess Consort! The Third Princess Consort is more than two months pregnant!" Physician Zheng announced the good news with great excitement.
I thought I was going to have bad luck, but it turned out to be a very happy event. I made the right choice this time.
Physician Zheng's eyebrows and beard twitched with joy, and the people in Consort Rong's palace were even more overjoyed.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations on your joyous occasion! Congratulations to the Third Princess Consort on the birth of the Imperial Grandson!" The palace maids knelt down one after another, offering their congratulations in a flattering manner.
"Very well, reward her." Consort Rong walked quickly to Dong'e Hailan's side, staring intently at Dong'e Hailan's belly, as if her golden grandson would pop out in no time if she kept staring.
"Good child, your mother knew from the beginning that you were a blessed woman. With such a good family background, good looks, and filial piety and virtue, I have chosen a good wife for Yinzhi." Consort Rong had never been so satisfied with Dong'e Hailan: "I noticed you didn't eat much at the banquet earlier, are you hungry now?"
"Have the kitchen prepare more dishes that suit the Third Prince's taste, and then go tell the Third Prince that his wife is pregnant." Consort Rong naturally took Dong E Hailan's hand and turned to give the instructions.
The temporarily forgotten Imperial Physician Zheng stood calmly to the side, watching Consort Rong's cheerful demeanor with a beaming smile, his heart overflowing with joy.
A reward is indispensable, absolutely indispensable!
As expected, when Physician Zheng left, Consort Rong immediately rewarded him with a tray of silver ingots, plus a set of jadeite jewelry. The jewelry was for Physician Zheng's wife, so Physician Zheng got both practicality and prestige.
Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed upon receiving the news.
Having many children brings good fortune. Just like ordinary families, royalty valued the prosperity of their descendants.
Consorts Hui, Yi, and Rong have been rivals since they were young.
With Consort Yi and Consort Rong both having happy events, Consort Hui couldn't contain herself any longer.
The eldest son already has four daughters, when will he have a son?
