That was the end of it; neither Kangxi nor Wanwan mentioned it again after that day.
However, Emperor Kangxi visited Jingren Palace more often and stayed overnight more often, as if he was determined to make Wanwan pregnant.
Fortunately, heaven rewards those who persevere. After two months of Kangxi's efforts, Wanwan finally became pregnant.
It was already February of the new year, and as usual, Wanwan smelled the gamey smell of mutton soup while eating.
Just as I was about to put the mutton soup in my mouth, a fishy smell hit my head and I couldn't help but vomit.
Tingyu said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Quickly, summon the imperial physician." Tingyu immediately told the eunuch outside, "Go and fetch the imperial physician."
She couldn't hold it in and vomited. After consulting the imperial physician, she learned that she was pregnant.
Physician Lin was also on tenterhooks when he came to Jingren Palace to take the emperor's pulse, after all, everyone in the harem knew very well how much the emperor liked this Imperial Noble Consort.
If the Imperial Noble Consort really had something wrong, and he couldn't cure her, it was uncertain whether he could continue his job as a royal physician. If Emperor Kangxi became displeased, he might even kill him.
"Eunuch Chang, is Her Highness the Imperial Noble Consort feeling unwell?"
Physician Lin could only ask in advance and prepare himself mentally.
"I don't know why, but Her Majesty just feels nauseous and vomits while eating."
"Alright, stop asking. Hurry up and come with us, or you'll delay Her Majesty's treatment. You'll lose your head." With that, he quickened his pace, pulling the imperial physician along with him.
Physician Lin hadn't expected Wanwan to be pregnant, considering she had been in the palace for four years.
She had never gotten pregnant, so people in the palace assumed that she was like the late Empress Niohuru, unable to conceive.
So, at first, Physician Lin didn't think in that direction, but assumed it was just an upset stomach, which put his mind at ease.
If it's just an upset stomach, two doses of medicine will do the trick, it's nothing serious... nothing serious... Chang Lin comforted himself in this way.
Wanwan already had a guess in her heart, because a month ago Yichang was found to be two months pregnant.
So Wanwan knew in her heart that this child was the Emperor's fifth child, Yinqi.
The sixth child was one that Wanwan herself wanted to have, and Wuya had no chance left, so Wanwan guessed that she might be pregnant.
Wanwan's guess was soon confirmed.
Wanwan: System, come out. Was my nausea just now because I'm pregnant?
System: [Yes, host, you are two months pregnant.]
Wanwan: Were Consort Yi and Lady Wuya pregnant at the same time?
System: [No, but that's not important. After all, it's a child who hasn't been raised to adulthood. As long as he's born after the fifth child, and as long as he's the sixth child, whether he's born a little earlier or later doesn't matter much.]
Wanwan: I see. So, Wuya can't get pregnant again after that, right?
System: [Host, Uya's body is damaged and she can no longer conceive. She's just barely holding on.]
Wanwan: Okay, I understand. You can continue hibernating.
System: [Okay, host. You can contact me again if you need anything in the future.]
The system actually felt a little aggrieved, because other hosts would turn to the system whenever they encountered a problem.
It has a very strong presence, unlike him who only uses it a few times a year, and even then, he only asks it questions and doesn't let it do anything.
It felt utterly useless, just thinking about how a system from a higher-dimensional world was actually... sigh, what a miserable existence...
Before long, Changping dragged and pulled Physician Lin to Jingren Palace. As soon as Physician Lin arrived at Jingren Palace, his legs were trembling. How could a physician like him have ever run such a fast distance?
Physician Lin greeted the Imperial Noble Consort, wishing her boundless blessings and peace.
"Your Majesty, I suddenly felt nauseous and vomited during the meal. Physician Lin, please take a look. Is Your Majesty feeling unwell?"
Tingyu had a guess in her mind, but she wasn't sure.
Because the previous scene was directed and acted by Wanwan herself, Tingyu knew very well that Wanwan had not drunk any contraceptive medicine in the past four years.
So even though he had his suspicions, he didn't dare to say anything, afraid of upsetting Wanwan.
Physician Lin said "Yes," and placed the pulse pillow on the table. "Please extend your right hand, Your Majesty."
Following Physician Lin's words, Wanwan placed her right hand on the pulse pillow.
Physician Lin watched as Wanwan placed her hand on the pulse pillow and covered it with a silk handkerchief before beginning to take her pulse.
Physician Lin felt the pulse beneath his hand; this pulse... hmm...
It turned out to be a slippery pulse.
However, Physician Lin examined the patient for a while longer, fearing that he might make a mistake and would be scolded in the end.
Physician Lin said, "Your Majesty, please extend your left hand."
Wanwan looked at Physician Lin, who had clearly diagnosed her pulse, yet seemed unable to believe it.
She had to repeatedly affirm her understanding of the behavior, after all, she had not been pregnant for four years, and both she and Kangxi were healthy.
It's normal for Physician Lin to be on the safe side.
Wanwan obediently stretched out her left hand, and Physician Lin began to take her pulse again.
Then a smile appeared on his face. This time it was indeed true, it really was a slippery pulse.
Physician Lin said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! You have a slippery pulse, and it has been almost two months."
Wanwan also cooperated with Physician Lin, feigning surprise followed by excitement and joy, "Really?"
Physician Lin replied, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true."
Wanwan: "Okay, okay, let's listen to the rain and enjoy it."
Physician Lin was also very happy that he had successfully removed a slippery pulse and would even receive a reward. The physician's salary was actually not very high; most of it came from the rewards given by the concubines in the palace, which was much more than the physician's original salary.
Physician Lin said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Wanwan said, "Okay, Tingxue, see Physician Lin out."
Tingxue replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Tingxue said, "Physician Lin, please follow me."
Tingxue left with Physician Lin. Before they even left Jingren Palace, she took out a purse from her sleeve and stuffed it into Physician Lin's hand. Physician Lin touched the purse and immediately knew that it contained silver notes. Sure enough, Jingren Palace was as generous as ever.
Physician Lin said, "Thank you very much, Miss Tianxue. Please wait a moment."
Tingxue said, "Alright, Physician Lin, take care," and saw Physician Lin out of Jingren Palace before returning home.
Wanwan said, "Listen to the wind, go to the Qianqing Palace and inform the Emperor that I am two months pregnant."
Tingfeng replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will go right away."
"Is that so? Qingqing is really pregnant." Kangxi was genuinely happy to hear the news, and he even called Wanwan by her name in private in the Qianqing Palace.
