After the eunuch left, Consort Yu looked on with envy and said softly, "It seems that Consort Shu's prayers at dawn are quite effective. Consort Jing and Consort Qi used to treat it as a joke."
"Look at the Seventh Prince, he's still so young, and Consort Shu is already pregnant with the Emperor's child again. What a blessing! Fortunately, I've been consistently praying for blessings at dawn since last time."
The palace maid Meihua, who was waiting nearby, said to Consort Yu with a solemn expression, "Your Highness, if you continue to pray for blessings at dawn, you might be able to conceive another prince."
Consort Yu shook her head and said, "I have been in the palace for so many years. When I first entered the palace, I always wanted to have a prince. Who knew that later even having a princess would become a luxury."
I am already incredibly fortunate to have given birth to the Fifth Princess safely; I am more than content.
Consort Yu then added with concern, "When I gave birth to the Fifth Princess, although the imperial physician said that the princess was in good health, I was still very worried about her."
Raising a princess peacefully in the harem is no easy task. Recently, I have been making sure to pray for her health at dawn, hoping that the Fifth Princess will enjoy good health in the future.
Mei Hua quickly comforted Consort Yu, saying, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. The Fifth Princess is almost five months old now, and she has been healthy since birth. I believe that the Fifth Princess will continue to be healthy in the future."
Consort Yu nodded and whispered to the Fifth Princess in her arms, "My little princess, Flora, will definitely grow up healthy and strong."
Then, as if remembering something, Consort Yu said, "Later, I will carefully select a generous gift for Consort Shu."
"You personally deliver the plum blossoms to Consort Shu," Consort Yu instructed again.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Plum Blossom replied with a bow.
Consort Yu is content with having a daughter.
Meanwhile, on Consort Ning's side...
Just as Consort Ning finished copying a few poems, her maid, Lühe, rushed in to report, "Your Highness, news has just come from Qingyun Yaxuan that Consort Shu is about two months pregnant with the Emperor's child."
Consort Ning's hand loosened, and the brush fell onto the paper where she had just finished writing the poem. Her face was filled with shock, and she asked incredulously, "Green Lotus, is it true that Consort Shu is pregnant with the Emperor's child again?"
Green Lotus glanced cautiously at Consort Ning and continued to report, "Your Majesty, the news is indeed true. His Majesty just went to Qingyun Yaxuan to visit Consort Shu."
Consort Ning took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and instructed, "Lvhe, prepare a congratulatory gift and personally deliver it to Consort Shu."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Green Lotus bowed and withdrew.
After Lühe left, Consort Ning thought about what she had done a few days ago and became more and more regretful.
Previously, Consort Ning had finally made up her mind and persisted in praying for blessings at dawn for several months, and then she was encountered by Consort Jing and Consort Qi.
Every time she encountered Consort Jing and Consort Qi, the two of them would make sarcastic remarks about Consort Ning.
Consort Ning was, after all, a talented woman proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and prose. She was proud and did not have the shamelessness of Consort Yu, who was infuriating. Therefore, Consort Ning could no longer tolerate the sarcastic remarks of Consort Jing and Consort Qi, and simply gave up praying for blessings at dawn.
Consort Ning is now increasingly regretful.
Consort Ning made up her mind that from this time on, she would also give up and insist on praying for blessings at the hour of Mao (5-7 AM) no matter what.
She would be content if, like Consort Shu, she could safely give birth to the Seventh Prince and then become pregnant with another prince, or even just like Consort Yu, she could safely give birth to a princess.
At Qingyun Yaxuan, Ituma Shushu continued to probe "Chenxi Mall" according to her recently developed habit. "She kept thinking about whether the fertility pill had other effects that she did not know about."
The story of testing the "Dawn Mall" begins after the birth of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao. Since his birth, Emperor Yongzheng has instructed the imperial physicians to come and check on Hongzhao's health every ten days to half a month.
Each time the imperial physician took the pulse, the result was that the Seventh Prince was in good health. Ituma Shushu breathed a sigh of relief and thought that it might be the effect of the fertility pill.
So from that time on, whenever Ituma Shushu had free time, she would try to explore "Dawn Mall".
Today, as usual, she tried to access "Dawn Mall". Suddenly, a large red light lit up in the upper right corner of the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" and started flashing.
Ituma Shushu was overjoyed, knowing that her method of testing the efficacy of the fertility pill had finally yielded results.
Ituma Shushu immediately used her mind to create a small hand and pressed it on the red headlight, which then disappeared.
She saw the following displayed on the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall":
[Ding! Fertility Pill]
[Note: The Fertility Pill can enhance the constitution of the fetus in the womb.]
[Ding! Daughter-Giving Pill]
[Note: The "Girl-Giving Pill" can enhance the constitution of the fetus in the womb.]
Just as Ituma Shushu had predicted, the fact that the Seventh Prince Hongzhao was in good health was due to the effects of the fertility pill.
It seems that Princess Fulana, born to Consort Yu, will grow up healthy and strong, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Ituma Shushu currently has no more fertility pills available.
There were originally ten pills for producing daughters. She first gave one to Consort Ning, then one to Consort Yu, and finally three to the Empress.
She now only has five pills left to produce a daughter.
The remaining five pills that produce daughters, although they can only produce princesses, all have the effect of enhancing the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus, making them extremely precious now.
