After seeing what Yunyi had purchased, Xiaoqi asked in confusion, "Host, don't you have the Fertility Pill and the Daughter Pill? If you take them together, they will have the same effect as the Dragon and Phoenix Pill, and you can save ten points."
"You don't understand. I have other uses for that girl-producing pill, and I took the dragon-phoenix pill myself." After spending a short time together, Yunyi had figured out that the system, this newbie, was a curious child. She added, "I know you're very curious, but you should be patient and not ask. You'll know what I do next."
Xiao Qi nodded obediently, "Okay, okay, then I won't ask anymore."
Only after withdrawing from the world of consciousness did Yunyi truly begin her afternoon nap.
After sleeping for half an hour, feeling refreshed, Yunyi changed into some light clothes and headed to the small kitchen. She was going to wash her hands and prepare soup for Emperor Kangxi. Of course, as a Noble Consort holding the highest position in the palace, she didn't need to make the soup herself; she could simply give verbal instructions and claim that she had done it.
The soup was almost ready, so Yunyi stepped forward to stir it. While everyone was distracted, she tossed the pregnancy pill into the soup. As expected of a product from the system shop, the pill dissolved instantly in water, making it impossible to tell what had been added.
Yunyi had already adjusted the pregnancy rate when she bought it. As long as Kangxi drank this soup, the pill would take effect, and no one would be able to detect it.
Emperor Kangxi was incredibly fertile. During his 61-year reign, he had 24 sons born in order of birth, not counting those who died young and were not included in the succession. He also had over 20 daughters. With so many children, the struggle for succession among his nine sons was incredibly perilous. For the sake of Yinzhen's future, Kangxi couldn't have too many children.
Carried by palace maids, Yunyi rode in a palanquin toward the Qianqing Palace.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Qianqing Palace, they saw Liang Jiugong smiling obsequiously and bowing, "This servant greets the Imperial Concubine. What brings you here today? Your timing is quite unfortunate. His Majesty is currently reviewing memorials and is afraid it is inconvenient for him to see you."
Even Consort Yunyi, the chief eunuch of Emperor Kangxi, had to show him some respect. She smiled faintly at Liang Jiugong and said, "It's alright. Go in and inform my cousin that I personally made a red date and longan soup today. He's been working hard on court affairs lately and needs some nourishment." As she finished speaking, a clever maidservant pulled a sachet from her sleeve and placed it in Liang Jiugong's hand.
Secretly weighing the sachet in his hand, Liang Jiugong was delighted. Considering Consort Tong's status in the palace, as well as her identity and Emperor Kangxi's favor, Liang Jiugong hesitated slightly before saying, "Your Highness, please wait a moment while I go in and inform her."
"Well then, Eunuch Liang, please go quickly. I will wait outside the palace."
A moment later, Liang Jiugong emerged from the hall with a beaming smile. "Your Highness, His Majesty summons you. Please come in."
Stepping into the inner hall of the Qianqing Palace, a sense of ancient grandeur immediately washes over you. It truly lives up to its reputation as the emperor's domain, completely different from the residences of the concubines in the harem.
As Yunyi approached Kangxi, she was about to bow slightly when a pair of warm, large hands helped her up. A deep, slightly amused male voice whispered in her ear, "Cousin, no need for such formalities, please rise. Why did you decide to come to the Qianqing Palace today? You usually dislike coming." As he spoke, the man affectionately flicked Yunyi's nose. "In the past, when I summoned you, you always seemed unhappy. Why are you here so willingly today?"
