Yinzhen is a prince, so there will only be more people in his harem, not fewer. Instead of worrying about those colleagues, she should focus on disciplining her own children.
Hutuli and Hongyao are twins, both thirteen years old this year. In the Qing Dynasty, they were old enough to get married. Even if Yunyi wanted her daughter to stay for a couple more years, the choice of her son-in-law should be decided by now.
With a sigh, Yunyi felt truly helpless. If it weren't for the mission requirements, she really wouldn't have wanted her daughter to be born in this dynasty.
Being a princess in the Qing Dynasty was not easy, and being a royal princess was even more difficult.
In her previous life, it was truly remarkable that her daughter was able to stay in the capital. This time, she has two daughters.
Two of the four daughters born to the First Consort married into Mongolia, and she was genuinely worried that her own daughters would also marry there.
Her mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts; she was anxious and worried.
Upon learning from Bitan that the Emperor had bestowed two more princesses upon the Qingyi Courtyard, Niohuru's heart sank to the bottom.
She clenched her fists tightly and then immediately let go, knowing full well that she had no choice but to accept it.
Unable to sleep at night, Niohuru came to Lengshuang Courtyard again.
Uya was also awake at this time. She knew that Niohuru Yuqin must be feeling terrible upon hearing the news of the new concubine entering the mansion.
...
"What!"
As if she had heard something unbelievable, Niohuru couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Then, realizing something was wrong, she quickly covered her mouth and asked in a low voice.
"Sister, are you telling the truth? Do you really have a medicine that can help people get pregnant?" As she said this, Niohuru herself was unaware of how bright her eyes were.
The moonlight shone on her face, and Uya could clearly see that her face was full of hope.
She chuckled inwardly, then pretended to be somewhat troubled. "Sister, don't worry, this medicine isn't that simple."
Knowing she had acted too hastily, Niohuru took a deep breath and suppressed her strong emotions. "It was my sister who lost her composure, elder sister, please tell me."
Uya waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind, and continued what she had been saying.
"This drug can indeed help women get pregnant quickly, but after becoming pregnant, unlike normal pregnant women, those who take this drug will have a great burden on their bodies. After giving birth, their bodies will be weak for at least three years, and they will not be able to get pregnant during these three years."
"Sister, this medicine is very effective, but the consequences are also very serious. If I hadn't heard what you said today, I would never have given it to you. You should think it over carefully. Can you accept the consequences?"
Perhaps it was a long-standing grudge, or perhaps it was the stimulation of the two new brides entering the household today, but Niohuru didn't think too much and agreed in a moment of impulsiveness.
But Uya did not take it out immediately. Instead, she told her to go back and think it over carefully before making a decision.
Originally worried about a trap, Niohuru dispelled her doubts after seeing Uya's actions.
On the way back, Niohuru kept thinking about what Uya had said, her mind churning with the thought of being pregnant with a prince, but also the consequences.
The more she thought about it, the more conflicted she became. Niohuru lost her earlier impulse and couldn't make up her mind.
Another month passed, and with no other options left, Niohuru decided to take a gamble. She had been married into the household for three years without being able to conceive. If she could give birth to a prince through medicine, her future would be secure.
Even if she couldn't give birth to a prince, it would only mean she couldn't get pregnant for three years, which she could accept.
Taking advantage of the night, she came to Lengshuang Courtyard and told her her thoughts. This time, Uya did not stop her and readily gave her the medicine, and also carefully gave her a lot of instructions.
After returning home, Niohuru Shi would time it perfectly, taking a pill before each of the Fourth Prince's visits.
Another month later, she kept an eye on her body and noticed that her period was several days late, which made her suspicious.
But she kept quiet about it and patiently waited for a few more days. When her period still didn't come, she asked Bitan to go to the Fujin's place and make an excuse that she had irregular periods and asked the doctor in the mansion to come and take a look.
Soon, the news that Princess Niohuru of Qingyi Courtyard was more than a month pregnant spread throughout the entire backyard.
Upon hearing the news, Yunyi carefully considered the matter in her mind and realized that something was amiss.
She remembered that Niohuru was born in the fiftieth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, and it was only the forty-sixth year now, four years short. But history had changed before, so it was normal for the outcome to be different now.
However, Yunyi's years of experience surviving in the inner palace made her wary, and she secretly investigated the Niohuru clan.
There had been no news from the inner quarters for several years, but this time, with Niohuru pregnant, Yinzhen was quite happy. He not only instructed Su Peisheng to send her many gifts, but also visited Niohuru from time to time to inquire about her health.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Niohuru spoke up and pleaded for Wuya.
