"Although the First Princess Consort is in good health, she still needs to be careful."
Although they weren't treating her like a porcelain doll like before, they were still very careful. Granny Shi, Granny Shao, and Bai Xia thoroughly inspected the main courtyard to prevent anything bad from harming the Fujin.
Although Xiao Zhenbao had three younger brothers, she was still very young at the time. Apart from having some memory of her mother being pregnant with her third child, she was actually quite curious about the possibility of pregnancy. So she sat next to her mother and kept asking questions.
Hongwei was even more curious. Although his father had given birth to younger brothers and sisters in his backyard, he had never seen a pregnant woman before and was very curious about how these little brothers and sisters got into the womb.
When Yinzhi woke up in the morning, he found this scene in the main courtyard.
When the third son saw his father get up, he rushed over and said, "Father, the nanny said that Mother is going to have a little brother. The little brother is so big, how can it fit into Mother's belly?"
Yinzhi's mind went blank for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses. It wasn't a dream; his wife was really pregnant. That was wonderful! His wife hadn't been pregnant for four or five years.
Yinzhi was overjoyed and went over to take Hezhuo's hand: "How long has it been? Have you been feeling unwell? What do you want to eat? Are there any dietary restrictions?"
Then I slapped my forehead and realized that I was carried back home drunk yesterday, so I hope I wasn't bothered by the smell.
Little Treasure looked at her father's silly appearance with disdain, but she didn't stay to eat dog food. She originally planned to stay here with her mother, but she still dragged her third brother to tell the Empress Dowager the good news.
Upon learning of Hezhuo's pregnancy, Yinzhi put aside all the injustices his father had suffered and the first thing he did upon returning home was to visit his wife and inquire about the situation.
He Zhuo was getting annoyed by his questions these days. It's not like he's a first-time father. He wasn't like this when he was a first-time father. Now he's just so noisy.
However, Yinzhi noticed that Hezhuo was getting impatient, so he stopped asking Hezhuo and instead asked the people around her. They talked enthusiastically together, and the people in the main courtyard were also happy. The Fujin (consort) hadn't had any good news for a long time, and seeing the babies being born one after another in the back courtyard, they were also anxious. There's never too many children, but the imperial physician said that the Fujin's health was fine, and the losses from the previous births had been made up. They could only worry in secret. Now they walked and worked with a brisk pace.
Within half a day, news spread throughout the manor that the Princess Consort was pregnant. Some were jealous, but no one dared to make a move. The manor had undergone two major reshuffles, and those who came in were all the master's people. Making a move would be tantamount to courting death.
So he could only curse a few times, but dared not do anything else.
Consort Nalan was somewhat stunned. She longed for a son, but couldn't conceive. The First Lady already had three sons, and now she was pregnant again. How could the daughters of the Irgen Gioro family be so fertile? She had heard that the First Lady's mother had also given birth to six sons and two daughters.
Upon receiving the news, the Irgen Gioro family arrived immediately. The old lady of the Irgen Gioro family brought many tonics to see her daughter, showering her with concern and carefully instructing her to be careful not to be harmed by those concubines. She also carefully explained the dowry to He Zhuo, telling Bai Xia not to leave her side and to remain vigilant for the next ten months.
Consort Hui in the palace was also very happy. A lot of rewards came down. She thought that her daughter-in-law was indeed a lucky woman. Her son had just been made a prince and she was pregnant.
Consort Yi was quite envious. She wanted a grandson, but her son didn't like his primary wife. He already had a son and a daughter, both born to that concubine. What was so special about that?
Consort Rong already has a grandson, and Princess Tian from the Third Prince's household is due to give birth in March. Hopefully, it will be a prince.
Yinzhi was also envious. He had a daughter and a legitimate son, and couldn't help but envy his elder brother's good fortune with children. However, it was just envy. His concubine, Li Gege, was pregnant again, and he hoped it would be a prince.
The second prince of the manor saw that this child was beyond saving, so he was unwilling to have frequent contact with him, fearing that he would be heartbroken in the future.
Yinzhi spent his days by his wife's side, helping Hezhuo with her pregnancy, talking to her, looking at the flowers in the courtyard, eating and playing with the children, and taking the children to the western suburbs horse farm for a ride during his days off, which was very pleasant.
