Yinzhen had long noticed Li Gege's gaze, but he ignored it. This woman's every move was teetering on his sensitive spots.
The reason why Yinzhen did not punish Li was not only because she was a concubine bestowed upon him by Consort De, but also because she had the "immunity from death" Second Princess.
The Second Princess is already pitiful enough to have such a mother; he cannot let her lose her mother and become a child without a mother.
That's why Yinzhen tolerated Li's behavior, but his patience had run out. If Li did something again, Yinzhen would not show any mercy.
Ignoring Li's gaze, Yinzhen said a few polite words and then simply ate his meal with his head down, or occasionally chatted with the young lady next to him.
This made Li even angrier, feeling like she was invisible.
Song's eyes were calm and indifferent, showing no reaction to the Fourth Prince's attitude; she was only focused on raising her daughter.
The eldest princess is already two years old, at an age where she can walk and talk, and she is extremely cute.
Lady Song doted on her daughter, and Yinzhen also loved his eldest daughter very much, visiting her from time to time, so the eldest princess was raised very well.
In contrast, Li's second daughter did not fare so well. She was over a year old but still could not walk. Her wet nurse had raised her too meticulously, causing her to lose her childlike innocence.
Because she had not given birth to a prince, Lady Li took her anger out on this daughter and treated her with indifference.
However, the male head of the household, Yinzhen, still valued this daughter, so the wet nurse took good care of her and did not mistreat or mistreat the Second Princess. But because of Li's attitude, the wet nurse did not care much.
Children are sensitive. She could sense the attitudes of her wet nurse and her birth mother at such a young age, which made her personality quieter and quieter, lacking any of the liveliness a child should have.
After Yunyi took the lead in presenting the birthday gift to the male host, Li and Song also followed suit, and the birthday family banquet came to an end.
Yunyi did not choose to reveal the news of her pregnancy at the family banquet, but waited until it was just her and Yinzhen in the evening to tell Yinzhen herself.
Today is Yinzhen's birthday, so he will naturally rest in the main courtyard. Yunyi is not worried that Yinzhen will not come.
The couple strolled slowly, digesting their food as they walked, enjoying the tranquil moment.
Looking at Yinzhen's face, which appeared slightly softer in the moonlight, Yunyi quietly leaned close to his ear and whispered something.
Yinzhen's expression showed some curiosity. "Hmm? What kind of gift is it? Didn't I just give it to you? Why is there another one?"
"I won't tell you. If Your Majesty wants to know, you'll find out when we get back." Yun Yi smiled strangely, but wouldn't budge, deliberately keeping Yinzhen curious without telling him.
When he returned to the main courtyard, Yinzhen was filled with anticipation, wondering what gift his wife would give him.
Yunyi didn't say anything, and went straight to bathe and change clothes after returning, completely ignoring Yinzhen's curiosity.
After changing out of her formal attire into comfortable pajamas, Yunyi returned to her inner room feeling refreshed.
Yinzhen had finished bathing and had been waiting inside for a while.
Seeing his wife enter, his eyes lit up, and he said with a hint of helplessness, "It's already very late. Now you can tell me what gift you want to give me."
With a smile, Yunyi walked to Yinzhen's side.
She's teased me enough, and now that her curiosity is piqued, it's time to reveal the answer.
As if nothing had happened, Yunyi sat down next to Yinzhen, took his hand, and gently placed it on her lower abdomen.
Although the area was still flat and unmarked, that one momentary movement still gave Yinzhen something to guess about.
"You, you don't have..."
Yunyi nodded, giving Yinzhen an affirmative answer.
"Yes, Your Majesty guessed correctly, I am pregnant, already three months along. How is this gift, does Your Majesty like it?"
He had imagined this scene countless times in his mind, but when it actually happened, Yinzhen found himself somewhat stunned, standing there dumbfounded, unable to utter a word.
Seeing his young wife deliver the news with a beaming smile, Yinzhen was truly overjoyed and overwhelmed with excitement.
After a long while, he calmed down and hugged his little wife tightly.
Yunyi nestled obediently in Yinzhen's arms, her arms wrapped around him in return.
In the silent room, the young couple held each other tightly, the atmosphere tranquil and harmonious.
After his initial excitement subsided, Yinzhen was filled with anticipation. He pulled Yunyi aside and talked about his hopes for the future, expressing his wishes for the unborn child.
They talked for a long time, until it was late at night, before Yinzhen stopped talking and urged his wife to go to sleep and rest.
The next day, Yinzhen got up as usual. Afraid of waking his wife, he moved very carefully, so much so that he looked a little furtive. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was up to something bad.
He was careful in his movements and instructed the servants to keep their voices down so as not to wake the Princess Consort. He also told them not to disturb her unless it was urgent.
As he walked out to his study, Yinzhen beckoned Su Peisheng over and instructed him to personally go to Chengqian Palace to report the joyous news that his wife was pregnant.
Because of this incident, Yinzhen was in a very good mood all day in the Imperial Study, which amazed his brothers Yintang and Yinzhen.
Fourth Brother, what happy event has happened to you? Your face isn't so cold today.
Although Yinxiang was well-behaved, he was also very curious.
Yinzhen wasn't a big mouth, but he couldn't help but want to share his joy about his wife's pregnancy with others.
Soon, several princes who were on good terms with Yinzhen learned that the Fourth Prince's wife was pregnant.
The three brothers were delighted to hear the news. They had a good relationship with their fourth sister-in-law and naturally hoped that she could have a legitimate son to rely on.
There's another reason: they're still a long way from getting married, and it would be nice to have a well-behaved and adorable little nephew to play with.
At this moment, the three uncles were all thinking about what gift to prepare for their little nephew, without considering the possibility that their fourth sister-in-law might give birth to a daughter.
Fortunately, Yunyi took the pregnancy pill, otherwise the gender would have been really hard to control, and it would have been bad to upset her three uncles.
The news of Yunyi's pregnancy quickly reached Consort De's ears, which made her unhappy for quite some time.
Consort De disliked this daughter-in-law, and consequently disliked the children born to her. Upon hearing the news, Consort De felt little joy.
To further disgust her daughter-in-law, she even bestowed upon her a title of princess.
This princess was of a much higher status than the Li and Song families, holding the rank of princess directly, and she also had a famous surname—Wuya.
