Because of her low rank, not many people went to Liang Ying's place for this production. Even Emperor Kangxi sent Liang Jiugong over, but did not come in person.
There are quite a few people secretly keeping an eye on things over there!
Everyone wanted to see what the Emperor's attitude was towards him. After finding out the Emperor's attitude, they wanted to see whether Consort Liang would give birth to a prince or a princess, and whether someone would tamper with things.
The birthing of imperial concubines was often quite a spectacle!
Therefore, the news of Consort Liang giving birth to a child spread throughout the entire harem as soon as it came out.
She actually gave birth to a boy, who, according to the order of birth, would be the Emperor's eighth prince!
Although the Eighth Prince doesn't seem to be among the top sons in the imperial lineage, he is already a very precious son to the Emperor. You have to know that for the previous two years, none of the concubines had given birth to any children.
She's really lucky.
Consort De, who was still worrying about how to get the silver needles back, was furious when she heard the news.
There were always people comparing her openly and secretly to Consort Liang, since both of them came from humble backgrounds. In addition, she was favored by chance because of her good looks, and she quickly became pregnant and gave birth to a prince.
Consort Hui was extremely busy, sending people to inform Emperor Kangxi and also assigning people to take good care of Consort Liang, who had just given birth. Her joy was impossible to hide.
There is a concubine who can stay in her palace and has now given birth to a child. However, she is of low status and rank, so she is very easy to control!
The Emperor didn't even come to see her during her childbirth, which means he doesn't value her. That's exactly what makes Consort Hui happiest. Isn't she a perfect pawn that can be easily used?
The emperor doesn't value her, and she has a child with her—isn't she the perfect person to be exploited?
Although the newborn child is still very young, Consort Hui is already planning how to make him her son's little follower! The more brothers there are, the more help they will have, and the better their chances of seizing the throne!
Consort Hui was extremely satisfied, and even her gaze towards Consort Liang softened considerably. Although she was a lowly concubine, she was very fortunate to have given birth to a prince for the Emperor!
Moreover, she is beautiful and has a good eye for beauty. If the Emperor were to favor her more, he would visit her palace more often, which would solidify his favor with her. Therefore, it seems that not only should we not suppress her, but we also need to encourage her to find a way to gain the Emperor's favor.
Emperor Kangxi bestowed a lot of gifts upon her, but made no mention of elevating her rank, and then disappeared without a trace, seemingly showing little regard for the child.
This means that it was already decided that Consort Liang's child was destined to be raised by someone else, and the most suitable person was none other than Consort Hui, who had been taking care of her all this time.
At this time, Emperor Kangxi was also a little irritable. He didn't know what had made him so infatuated with this woman that he had brought her out of the Imperial Laundry.
He still felt somewhat embarrassed about having favored such a woman.
Liang was certainly very beautiful, but she wasn't the only beautiful woman in the palace. Emperor Kangxi wasn't the kind of foolish ruler who judged women by their looks, so he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to bring her out.
Even if we say something a bit outrageous, if someone were truly attracted to her beauty, hiding her away and favoring her every now and then, it would be quite possible.
However, I left in such a hurry that I didn't give her the contraceptive medicine. Later, she became pregnant and I couldn't hide it anymore. If it weren't for that, I could have quietly gotten rid of her in time...
It's too late to say anything now. Even so, Emperor Kangxi was still happy about the birth of this child. The Manchus believed that many children meant many blessings, so no matter how many children Emperor Kangxi had, he would not be bothered.
"Is he a prince?"
"Yes, Master!"
Consort Yi nodded thoughtfully. At this moment, Consort Hui must be overjoyed! "Does she seem to be in good health?" Consort Yang was already exhausted enough; if she were to give birth to an unhealthy prince, that would be…
"I heard that the Eighth Prince is in very good condition. He kicked his legs very powerfully from birth and has a loud voice. Don't let Consort Liang's delicate appearance fool you; she has raised the child very well!"
Consort Yi smiled. The child was well raised, but it wasn't because of Consort Liang's hard work. She was just a young consort who had just come out of the Xin Zhe Ku. How could she protect herself?
"Have someone prepare a gift and send it over, carefully avoiding anything taboo, so as not to leave any room for anyone to tamper with it..." In any case, this gift will definitely be carefully inspected by Consort Hui later.
I'm afraid Consort Hui must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes; it must have been quite a challenge for her.
To increase her chances of having a son, she really went to any lengths. She finally found a pregnant woman in her palace, so of course she had to make the most of her time!
Thinking of using others to gain favor, Consort Yi suddenly remembered that her father had sent a message earlier saying that he wanted her sister to enter the palace, and her mood immediately soured again.
Sure enough, those people all had the same idea. They felt that they had used one daughter to her full potential or that she no longer had any value, so they wanted to find someone else to take her place. Although her father kept saying that she was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to serve the emperor, and that he was afraid that someone else would steal her favor, didn't Consort Yi know what he was really thinking?
Pregnancy is already incredibly stressful, and thinking about this makes it even more unpleasant, making me extremely irritable.
She is currently pregnant and favored by the Emperor, so why must she let her sister in?
Even if she's pregnant now and unable to serve the Emperor, her favor with him will surely increase after she gives birth. Why bother having her sister come over?
She had a good relationship with her sister and was unwilling to ruin their sisterly bond because of the emperor.
Although bringing her younger sister into the palace was meant to secure the emperor's favor, Consort Yi was unwilling to share the same man with her sister!
Moreover, the palace is like a big dye vat. Although he and his sister have a good relationship, they haven't seen each other for a very, very long time. He doesn't know what she looks like now, or if she will change after entering the palace.
If it meant turning her younger sister into someone unrecognizable, then Consort Yi would rather stop it than see that happen!
