Although giving birth to triplets is dangerous, she wasn't worried because of the system.
"Did the imperial physician say anything when he came today?" Yinzhen asked as usual when he came over in the evening.
Since the discovery of the third pregnancy in May, Yinzhen ordered the imperial physicians to come and examine the concubine's pulse every three days.
As her due date approached, she even invited the imperial physician to her residence, asking him to come and check her pulse once a day.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The imperial physician said that I am in good health and the baby is very well-behaved. There's nothing to worry about."
By candlelight, Yinzhen carefully examined Song's complexion. Seeing that her face was rosy and her expression was composed, he was relieved to know that there should be no problem.
But he kept talking and still gave a few more instructions.
"Yes, yes, I know, so please rest assured, Your Highness!"
Yunyi found it somewhat amusing. The Fourth Prince, who usually had a cold face and seemed unapproachable, was now acting like a mother hen, earnestly giving instructions and talking non-stop.
But she also understood that Yinzhen was concerned about her, so she listened patiently with a gentle smile on her face, nodding occasionally in agreement.
On September 26th, the Fourth Prince's concubine gave birth to the Second Prince, the Third Princess, and the Third Prince.
When the news reached the palace, Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed. This Lady Song was truly blessed. Ordinary women face dangers when pregnant with two children, but she had a safe delivery last time, and this time she was pregnant with her third child without any problems.
Overjoyed, Emperor Kangxi waved his hand and bestowed names upon the second prince, Hongxuan; the third prince, Hongjing; and the third princess, Elinzhu.
Taowuyuan
At this moment, the Fujin, Li Wanrou, Wu Shi, and Wuya Shi were all at the door. Upon hearing the news that the secondary Fujin had given birth safely, the Fujin felt somewhat complicated, but she still smiled and offered her congratulations before giving instructions for what was to come.
Li Wanrou felt a pang of jealousy, but when she touched her still-flat stomach, the feeling dissipated.
Hmph, I'm pregnant too, and I'll be having a son soon. I'm no worse off than you.
Wu Shi remained indifferent. She was by nature a Buddhist type, neither competitive nor jealous. She didn't care whether the Fourth Prince came or not, nor whether the concubine gave birth to a child.
The most distressed person present was Lady Wuya. She was ambitious and wanted to emulate her aunt, but unfortunately, the Fourth Prince disliked her. Since entering the mansion, she had only served the emperor two or three times and was not favored at all.
The concubine gave birth to a healthy child, and everyone else was relieved, so they took their leave.
The Fujin (Prince Consort) had the highest status and left first, followed by the most senior Lady Li.
Just as Li Wanrou was about to leave, she caught a glimpse of Wuya's resentful expression out of the corner of her eye.
With a sneer, she casually touched her stomach, subtly mocking someone, "Oh dear, some people are just petty-minded, I wonder what they're thinking all day long."
“You…” Wuya was furious. She pointed at Li Wanrou, wanting to say something, but was interrupted.
Li Wanrou slapped her arm off and retorted, "What do you mean, 'you'? I didn't say anything about you, why are you so eager to admit it?"
After speaking, Li Wanrou turned and left without listening to what Wuya had to say.
Being mocked and ignored, Wuya spat viciously at Li Wanrou's retreating figure.
What a scoundrel! Just because she entered the household earlier than me and gave birth to a princess, she's always going against me. Humph! One day, I'll suppress her.
Wuya left in a huff, while Wu waited for a while.
She had witnessed the confrontation between Li Gege and Wuya Gege, and did not want to travel with Wuya. She wanted to wait and return at a different time.
It's quite absurd that Wuya Shi had only been in the household for a short time, yet she had already fallen out with Li Wanrou to this extent. After all, Yunyi and Li Wanrou had known each other for two or three years and their relationship was quite good.
But thinking about it carefully, Li Wanrou, although she has some ulterior motives, is not a bad person; it's just that her mouth offends too much.
Uya was a petty and stubborn person. It was no wonder she was angry when she heard Li Wanrou, who was also a princess, always mocking her. She was not afraid of trouble and often quarreled with Li Wanrou. Over time, their relationship deteriorated.
A month later, Yunyi's triplets turned one month old. Since this was the first child born since Yinzhen left the palace, and triplets had never appeared in the Qing Dynasty before, and their birth mother was a concubine, the one-month celebration was held in a very grand manner.
Wang Mama coldly watched as the Fujin (principal wife) was pregnant and still had to organize the full-month celebration for her illegitimate child. She felt extremely sorry for her, but her mistress kept telling her to be mindful of hierarchy, so she couldn't say anything and could only keep it to herself.
After the full moon celebration, the inner courtyard returned to peace. The primary consort and Consort Li focused on their pregnancy, while the secondary consort joined the bedchamber after recovering.
The already scarce days of Wu and Wuya clans became even fewer.
Wu had no intention of doing anything, but Wuya had her own little scheme.
Soon, the time came.
One day, Lady Wuya was strolling in the garden when she saw several eunuchs carrying flowerpots toward the backyard.
She stopped the leading eunuch and learned that the flower room had cultivated a new variety of flowers, and the Fourth Prince had ordered them to be sent to the various masters in the backyard.
Seeing that the flowers sent to Li were hibiscus, Wuya had a thought.
