Yinreng had already put the little book about the dos and don'ts of pregnancy care in a small box.
Even so, he still kept the imperial physician around out of concern, asking him all sorts of questions.
For example, this realgar wine is intoxicating. Even if you haven't drunk it, will smelling it cause any problems?
He's already a father of three, yet he's still incredibly flustered.
The imperial physician, receiving multiple reward payments and being addressed to the Crown Prince, was extremely courteous, answering all questions without hesitation. He even proactively addressed matters that Yinreng had forgotten to ask.
Tong Wanyan couldn't bear to watch any longer: "The banquet is still going on, Your Highness, please don't bother the imperial physician with questions. When we return to Yuqing Palace, there will be Imperial Physician Chang there. Besides, this isn't my first pregnancy. Do you think I don't know whether I'm feeling well or not? I'm fine."
Rivalry is common among colleagues. Even though Imperial Physician Chang rarely went to the Imperial Hospital and only examined Yinreng's pulse, he still couldn't resist the urge to fight.
"If Your Highness is still worried, I will examine the concubine's pulse again." The imperial physician's responsible attitude made the others envious.
Yinreng thought about it and decided that he should not be so ostentatious.
Seeing Tong Wanyan's disapproving expression, he said to the imperial physician, "No need. I trust your medical skills. I was just too happy."
Yinreng refused to let the imperial physician take his pulse again, which left the physician somewhat disappointed. He wanted to explain in more detail, but when the physician returned for a follow-up examination, he had nothing to say.
"Your Highness, congratulations!" Among their peers, Prince Zhi raised his wine cup to Yinreng first.
A beat too slow, Yinzhen gave the Prince Zhi a cold look, the meaning of which was self-evident.
As his closest brother, he should have been the one to offer the toast first.
Prince Zhi, completely unconcerned about Yinzhen's jealousy, cheerfully offered his toast.
Emperor Kangxi was momentarily lost in thought as he observed the peaceful relationship between the brothers.
A year ago, they were still backstabbing each other and couldn't stand each other.
Now, the two brothers are getting along better and better.
"Indeed, the family banquet is a joyous occasion with the birth of a new member; it's a good omen," said Emperor Kangxi.
A string of congratulations followed, all aimed at pleasing Emperor Kangxi.
The Eighth Prince's wife, who hadn't shown her face for a long time, was drinking her sorrows away in resentment.
"Your Highness, will Father Emperor reward me handsomely if I become pregnant?" the Eighth Prince's wife asked Yinzhi in a low voice.
Yinzhi had just gotten up to offer a toast when he heard what the Eighth Prince's wife said, and he squeezed her hand tenderly.
“We are still young, there’s no need to rush into having children. The imperial physician said that we are both in good health, it’s just that our time hasn’t come yet. Besides…” Yinzhi hesitated.
"Besides, even if I were pregnant, Father Emperor wouldn't be as happy as he is today. She and I are different." The Eighth Prince's wife accepted reality.
“It’s not your fault,” Yinzhi said with a wry smile. “Apart from the Crown Prince, all our other sons are like adopted children.”
"Your Highness, be careful what you say!" The Eighth Prince's wife was startled.
The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince had already taken their wine jugs and gone to Yinreng's table.
The Seventh Prince, who was sitting next to him, was a quiet and unassuming person due to his leg ailment, and Yinzhi did not pay any attention to him.
Even so, the couple did not say anything excessive after that.
The Seventh Prince and his wife exchanged a knowing glance, their expressions conveying a profound meaning.
Over the years, Yinreng has always taken good care of his younger brothers and sisters.
Under Yinreng's care, the Seventh Prince's life improved considerably. These were minor matters that Kangxi wouldn't normally concern himself with. Therefore, the Seventh Prince and his wife deeply appreciated Yinreng's kindness.
Yinzhi thought that the Seventh Prince lived like a nobody in the Princes' Quarters, without any human emotions or desires. He was sorely mistaken.
