Yinzhen paused, nearly knocking over the teacup beside him.
Hearing that he was going to have a child, he felt a mix of emotions: joy, surprise, disbelief, and bewilderment...
He was still just a fifteen-year-old boy, and when he heard the news that he was going to be a father for the first time, he was so surprised that he couldn't think straight.
Li Wanrou, who was standing next to her, was also shocked to hear the news. In addition, she was filled with jealousy.
I'm so angry! I'm so angry!
Why wasn't I pregnant? We entered the manor at the same time, how come you got pregnant first? I'm so angry!
Yunyi, of course, pretended not to know and expressed her shock, asking several more questions in a row.
Only after receiving a positive reply from the imperial physician did he finally believe the news, and he was momentarily stunned.
When her suspicions came true, Granny Zhou was the calmest of them all. She quietly reminded Yinzhen.
Finally realizing what had happened, Yinzhen coughed lightly, trying to cover up his shock.
He glanced at Yunyi, took her hand and held it, and asked the imperial physician below him a lot about precautions for pregnant women.
Bai Zhi stood behind Yun Yi. When she heard the imperial physician say that her mistress was pregnant, she was first annoyed, then fearful. She hadn't discovered it sooner. What if her negligence had harmed her mistress?
Now the imperial physician was explaining the precautions, and Bai Zhi listened very attentively, wishing she could memorize them completely.
After the imperial physician left, everyone calmed down and continued eating.
After confirming the news, Granny Zhou sent someone to deliver the good news, and then personally led people to the imperial kitchen to order food for Yunyi, choosing dishes that pregnant women could eat, showing how much she valued her.
The three of them had different thoughts, but they finished their meal seemingly calmly.
After the meal, Yinzhen was supposed to return to the front courtyard, but because Song was pregnant, he went to Song's residence instead.
Once inside, Yinzhen looked around and was dissatisfied with everything. He called Su Peisheng over and gave him instructions in a low voice.
Yunyi was a little confused, so Yinzhen patted her hand, telling her to wait quietly.
Not long after, Su Peisheng brought over a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Seeing that she didn't quite understand, Yinzhen spoke up to explain his intention, first pointing to the few eunuchs.
"This is a reward from the master for your pregnancy. It consists of medicinal herbs, fabrics, jewelry, and the like. Please accept it without worry."
Then he pointed to several palace maids behind him.
“You are currently pregnant, and you only have one first-class maid and one second-class maid to serve you. That’s a bit too few people. I’ll assign you two third-class maids to help you with chores. That way, your original two maids can serve you properly.”
Yunyi was naturally happy to have more people to serve her, especially since these were people given to her by Yinzhen, which also ensured her safety.
Her eyes and brows were full of joy, and she smiled gently, "Since you have said so, then I thank you for your kindness."
Seeing her satisfied expression, Yinzhen smiled and called out to several palace maids to come forward.
Then he said to Yunyi, "Since they are the ones who serve you, take a look and choose according to your own wishes."
Yunyi responded with a "yes" and looked down at the several palace maids kneeling below.
After asking each of them their names, ages, and what they did, Yunyi finally chose Xiaotao and Xiaoxing.
Both of them were honest and kind-hearted, so Yunyi trusted them completely.
When Yinzhen sent the reward, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, upon hearing the news, both sent gifts over.
Speaking of which, Yunyi's pregnancy is quite special. Since the eldest son of Crown Prince Yinreng died a month after birth, Kangxi has not had a grandson born yet.
The First Consort has given birth to four daughters and is not currently pregnant, while the Crown Prince has no concubines who are pregnant at the moment.
If Yunyi gives birth to a prince in this pregnancy, then she will be the mother of the emperor's eldest grandson.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor specially bestowed rewards upon hearing that the Fourth Prince's concubine was pregnant. Without this reason, they would not have cared about a prince's concubine being pregnant.
Yonghe Palace
The nanny stepped forward and reported to Consort De the news that the Fourth Prince's daughter was pregnant.
At that time, Consort De was practicing calligraphy. Upon hearing the news, she was first stunned, then delighted. She put down her pen, turned around and looked at the nanny, somewhat incredulous.
"Is it true that the fourth prince's princess is pregnant?"
The nanny nodded. "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince has summoned the imperial physician to examine her. He says that Consort Song is almost two months pregnant."
Although Consort De and the Fourth Prince Yinzhen had a poor mother-son relationship, he was, after all, the child she had carried for ten months.
Yinzhen was going to be a father, and she was going to be a grandmother. Consort De was overjoyed and felt more favorably toward Lady Song.
I was right about her back then. This Song woman is really capable; she got pregnant after only half a year in the manor.
She stopped practicing her calligraphy and immediately ordered the palace maids to open the storeroom.
"Quickly, open the storeroom. I will reward this Song woman well. She has truly not disappointed me."
When the gifts arrived at Yunyi's place, she was astonished. The Consort De was incredibly generous, sending so many things.
It was only after Qiu Ci, the head maidservant of Consort De, explained a few things that Yun Yi felt somewhat relieved enough to accept the gift.
After everyone had left, Yunyi led Baizhi to check all the things they had received that day. They were shocked by what they found.
As expected, the most important way for women in the inner quarters of ancient times to become rich was to have children. She just announced her pregnancy today, and the things she received are enough for her to buy a small house in the capital and still have money left over.
Yunyi quickly told Baizhi to put everything away, thinking that if she kept an eye on things, she was becoming greedy.
While Yunyi was receiving so many gifts that her hands were sore, Li Wanrou was not in a very good mood.
