When Xiao Conghesheli left Yonghe Palace, almost everyone in the palace had already received the news.
Consort Ming and Consort Ping get along quite well.
The palace servants immediately showed different expressions, after all, they had never heard of any contact between Consort Ming and Xiao Hesheli.
Consort Xi, in particular, sat in the palace with somewhat different expressions.
She, Xiao Hesheli, and Mingfei all belonged to the Hesheli family.
However, the three of them had never been in a relationship before.
Of the three, Mingxiu's family background was the lowest. However, because of her merit in presenting her book, her father received an official position and a reward, and her younger brother is now a legitimate official who has passed the imperial examination and is highly valued by Emperor Kangxi.
Therefore, the lowest-ranking official in the family right now is Consort Xi.
Moreover, she entered the palace late, and although she is now favored by the emperor, she cannot compete with Consort Ming.
She was very clear about this.
She had tried to curry favor with Mingxiu before, but Mingxiu didn't accept her advances. Now, she's actually willing to help Pingpin. Does she think that Pingpin's family has no support?
Consort Xi harbored some resentment.
As for the young Hesheli clan, as long as the Hesheli family remains intact, Consort Xi will not oppose her. Moreover, she does not care about the Emperor's favor, so she will not have any impact on Consort Xi.
Touching her belly, she knew she needed to have a child as soon as possible; only with a child could she secure her position in the palace.
Consort Hui also rushed to Yonghe Palace to inquire about Mingxiu after hearing the news.
Mingxiu didn't say anything, only that they were all sisters and she would help if she could.
Consort Hui sighed upon seeing this, but ultimately said nothing.
Mingxiu has always been kind-hearted; she's always known that, hasn't she?
Well then, let her take better care of her from now on.
I just hope that this Consort Ping really doesn't have any bad intentions.
Seeing Consort Hui's concerned expression, Mingxiu smiled ingratiatingly.
After that, Mingxiu refused to see anyone who came to visit her, since she was still in postpartum confinement and could not overexert herself.
Aside from the fact that it was a bit hot and she couldn't use a fan or ice, Mingxiu felt that her postpartum confinement was generally quite pleasant. Kangxi came a few times during her confinement, each time late at night, and would chat with Mingxiu through a screen. It wasn't that he didn't want to come in, but Mingxiu felt that she was too slovenly and really didn't want Kangxi to see her in such a disheveled state.
Kangxi was also quite helpless. He told Mingxiu several times that he didn't mind, but Mingxiu just wouldn't let him in.
Therefore, Kangxi could only talk to Mingxiu through the screen and get close to the child.
Since Mingxiu is still in her postpartum period, Kangxi cannot rest here. So, he usually just talks to her and then leaves after having dinner with her.
Yinreng had come a few times, but Mingxiu didn't care that Yinreng would see her in this state, so she would just come in whenever Yinreng came.
Play with the little princess for a while, and then talk to Mingxiu.
In fact, this wasn't the first time Mingxiu had raised a child. She had taken care of Yinreng from a young age, but their statuses were different back then, so Mingxiu had to be more careful when taking care of Yinreng.
Moreover, Emperor Kangxi was quite strict at that time, so Mingxiu couldn't use many of his things.
But now that it's time for the baby to be born from her own belly, she naturally does whatever is convenient. Mingxiu's biggest hobby during her postpartum period was to make the baby cry and then soothe her back to sleep.
Over and over again.
Newborn babies are really like balloons; the red spots on their skin don't disappear for long.
With her appearance improving dramatically, Mingxiu is now enjoying playing with the child more and more, and she doesn't know if it's just her imagination, but she feels that the child really looks a lot like Emperor Kangxi.
It's really amazing that even such a small girl like Mingxiu can be seen, and you can even tell who she looks like from her face.
Mingxiu stared at Youyou's little face, clicking her tongue in amazement.
One downside is that this child smells really bad every time I change his diaper, it's just so smelly.
Fortunately, someone helped her clean up. She only needed to call out and someone would come and take the child away. After cleaning up, they would bring the child back to her.
It's fortunate that she has a powerful status now. If this were in modern times, Mingxiu felt that she would never be able to give birth and raise a child on her own.
Now, when I want to bring it, I bring it myself; when I get annoyed, I just leave it to Green Bamboo and the others so I don't have to take care of it myself.
Anyway, they really enjoy taking care of their little master.
The days passed quietly, and before the weather got hotter, Mingxiu finally finished her postpartum confinement and was able to come out.
During this month, Mingxiu drank some spiritual spring water every day, so her figure recovered very well, and she has recovered to the state she was in before giving birth in just one month.
Mingxiu touched her body and felt great. She had a curvy figure with firm and smooth skin. Perhaps because she had given birth, she felt that her hips and breasts had become more perky, and her waist looked even slimmer.
Of course, Mingxiu didn't have time to worry about that right now. She picked up a tuft of hair near her ear, smelled it, and gagged. Mingxiu felt like she was about to throw up.
She hadn't washed her hair for a month and felt like she was about to stink. Now that she could finally take a bath, she quickly asked someone to prepare bathwater, took out the shower gel, and washed herself thoroughly three times. Finally, she felt the sticky feeling on her body disappear.
Emperor Kangxi had already bestowed many rewards upon her after she gave birth, but he did not promote her rank.
