Following Bai Zhi's suggestion, Yun Yi asked her to summon the imperial physician, and then she used acupuncture to change her pulse.
The imperial physician was unable to diagnose Yunyi's condition. He only said that it was an irregular menstrual period, but there was nothing serious about it and no medicine was needed before he withdrew.
When Yinzhen learned that Yunyi had summoned the imperial physician, he came over with some concern and asked about it, but Yunyi brushed him off.
End of month
This day was Yinzhen's birthday. According to custom, he was entitled to a day off and did not need to go to the study.
Early in the morning, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and Consort De, Yinzhen's birth mother, all sent people to bestow gifts.
Yinzhen accepted the gifts and, together with Su Peisheng, went to express their gratitude to each of them. Finally, they spoke for a while with Consort De in Yonghe Palace before returning to the Princes' quarters.
When the elders gave gifts, Yinzhen's brothers also expressed their gratitude. The eldest prince Yinzhi, the crown prince Yinreng, the third prince Yinzhi, and the fifth prince Yinqi all sent gifts.
Yinzhen expressed his gratitude to the eunuchs who brought the gifts, and the matter was finally resolved.
During dinner, a banquet was set up in the front courtyard, where Yinzhen, Yunyi, and Li Wanrou ate together to celebrate his birthday.
Yunyi arrived first, followed by Li Wanrou.
Yinzhen had not yet arrived, and at this moment it was just the two of them, so the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Yunyi had no ill intentions towards Li Wanrou, but when Li Wanrou saw Yunyi, her face showed arrogance and disdain, and she didn't give her a friendly look.
The two remained silent until Yinzhen appeared, breaking the silence.
After bowing to Yinzhen, the three took their seats. Li Wanrou spoke first, her voice high-pitched and her face full of coquettish laughter.
"I wish you a happy birthday, Your Highness. This is my birthday gift. Please take a look and see if you like it."
Yinzhen showed no extra expression on his face. He glanced at Li Wanrou's gift, nodded and praised her, and that was it.
Somewhat disheartened, Li Wanrou's smile froze on her face, and she sat back down in her seat, looking as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant.
Then Yunyi stood up to offer her congratulations. She wasn't pretentious at all; just like usual, she gave her congratulatory remarks in a proper manner, presented her gift, and then sat down.
Yinzhen maintained the same expression as before, but his demeanor had relaxed somewhat. He nodded, accepted the gift, and as the birthday celebrant, said a few simple words before announcing the start of the banquet.
The three of them adhered to the rule of not speaking while eating or sleeping, and ate very quietly. There was a steamed sea bass in front of Yunyi, and she picked up a piece with her chopsticks without making a sound.
Sure enough, as soon as it entered her mouth, a wave of nausea surged up, and Yunyi couldn't help but gag a few times.
The sound was unusually clear in the quiet room. Yinzhen looked up at Yunyi with some concern.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Wanrou felt a little smug. Hahaha, how could you be so rude at your master's birthday banquet?
Yunyi feigned a flustered appearance and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I was rude."
Yinzhen waved his hand dismissively, "If you are feeling unwell, go back and rest. Have the imperial physician come and take a look. Your health is the most important thing."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I don't know why, but the smell of this fish made me feel a little nauseous." After thanking Yinzhen for his concern, Yunyi offered a brief explanation.
As Yinzhen's wet nurse, Zhou Mama was confused by the reason, but she had some guesses in her heart.
In addition, since she was now in charge of the backyard and knew that Song Gege hadn't changed her clothes this month, her suspicions intensified. She walked over to Yinzhen and whispered a few words in his ear.
Startled by Zhou Mama's words, Yinzhen looked at Song Shi, his gaze lingering on her belly for a moment before he nodded.
Upon receiving the order, Granny Zhou quickly sent someone to fetch the imperial physician.
Fearing that Madam Song would worry, Yinzhen reassured her, "It would be good to have the imperial physician come and take a look. If you are really unwell, it will be good to get treatment as soon as possible."
Yunyi understood perfectly well, but pretended to be clueless, while Li Wanrou was the one who truly knew nothing.
She stared blankly as Zhou Mama and others went to fetch the imperial physician. Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Madam Song is really sick?
Although she had some discord with Yunyi because of Yinzhen, she was essentially a kind-hearted girl.
Now that she guessed Yunyi might be ill, and after hearing what the Fourth Prince said, she looked at Yunyi with a pitiful expression.
Finding Li Wanrou's pitiful gaze somewhat amusing, Yunyi chuckled inwardly, thinking to herself, "What a silly girl."
Li Wanrou was born in the fifteenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign and is now seventeen years old.
Despite being the oldest of the three, Yunyi discovered after spending the past six months with her that she was the most innocent. She was usually a bit silly and naive, and even if she had a little bit of cunning, it was very simple and easy to understand.
The three waited quietly. Fortunately, the imperial physician arrived not long after. After bowing to the Fourth Prince, he was led to examine Yunyi's pulse.
The pulse was smooth and flowing, like a pearl. Physician Chen reached a conclusion and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
However, out of caution, he did not speak immediately, but examined the patient for a while longer to confirm that there was no mistake before getting up to report.
"Congratulations, Fourth Prince! Judging from the princess's pulse, it is undoubtedly a happy pulse, and she is almost two months pregnant."
