Emperor Kangxi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the pale-faced Imperial Noble Consort, his brows furrowed. This child was not the one he had hoped for.
Although the crown prince has been established, he does not want a prince with too prominent a status, as a prince born to the Imperial Noble Consort would be too special.
His gaze swept over the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who sat to the side with a face full of anxiety and concern, and he sighed inwardly. He would rather send the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's jade tablet to the Imperial Noble Consort than see the Imperial Noble Consort give birth to a child herself.
It's too late to say anything now; the Imperial Noble Consort is already pregnant.
Kangxi could only hope that it was a princess. If it was a princess, he would cherish her like a precious jewel and never let her suffer any grievances.
When Kangxi left Chengqian Palace, the Imperial Noble Consort was still unconscious and had not yet woken up. However, after drinking the medicine, her complexion improved significantly.
Emperor Kangxi instructed his fourth son, Yinzhen, to spend the next few days in Chengqian Palace with his mother and not to go to the Imperial Study.

They changed direction and headed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
By evening, Emperor Kangxi received news that Consort De, of the Uya clan, and Consort Zhangjia, both concubines in Yonghe Palace, were about three months pregnant.
Consort Yi has been here for over a month.
Emperor Kangxi was quite happy, but the thought that the Imperial Noble Consort was also pregnant made him suppress his joy, which troubled him greatly.
