The Empress Dowager glanced at Sumalagu, frowned, and remained silent.
In a side hall of the Cining Palace, the Fifth Princess, Bulhe, listened to the report from her servants. Her brow furrowed, her mind in turmoil.
She didn't know what was wrong, but ever since she heard the palace servants report that Consort Yu had given birth, she had been restless.
I didn't sleep well last night. When I woke up this morning at the crack of dawn, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, as if something important was about to be snatched away.

Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"reward."
Consort Wen and the others were shocked, their hearts felt like they had fallen into an ice cave, and they were filled with frustration and helplessness.
With loving eyes, Kangxi glanced at the two babies in the swaddling clothes, their skin white and tender, waving their little hands. They didn't look like newborns at all, and Kangxi was immediately delighted.
