But it doesn't matter. If you get pregnant, just give birth. It won't affect He Zhuo. However, if you have inappropriate thoughts and want to compete with the children for something, then it's hard to say.
Now that you've just gotten pregnant, there's no need to worry about it. On the day of the prayer ceremony, a quick scan with your spiritual sense will tell you the gender.
As expected, during this period, the two concubines stayed quietly in their rooms and did not go out, as if they had made an agreement.
About half a month later, it was Consort Shu who first announced her pregnancy, and then a few days later, Consort Nalan also announced her pregnancy.
Consort Hui was very happy; no one complained about having too many grandsons.
They gave rewards to everyone, but the lion's share went to Hezhuo. The concubine's pregnancy was the wife's doing, and there was nothing wrong with that.
That's just how times are.
During this period, the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince, who did not have many children, looked at their elder brother, Yinzhi, with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Crown Prince: This crude and uncouth warrior is no match for me in anything, so how come he has such a good chance of having children? If only Father had given me the First Consort back then, alas... But my Second Consort is about to give birth, and the imperial physician says it's probably a prince.
Third Master: What's so great about that? My wife also gave birth to two sons and two daughters, but... (they all died young).
Fourth Master: Eldest Brother is truly the envy of everyone! Not only is his wife incredibly fertile, but all their children are healthy and robust. I'm so jealous!
Some underage princes simply idolized their elder brothers. In this era, being able to have a son was a remarkable thing, from the emperor down to ordinary people.
Since becoming pregnant, the two concubines had been extremely cautious and wary of the main wife. He Zhuo was aware of this, but he scoffed at it and ignored it completely.
He also instructed the people in the main courtyard not to provoke the concubine's people.
He Zhuo didn't have the time to harm them. Ever since the two concubines announced their pregnancies, He Zhuo had been the sole favorite in the mansion.
She spent all her time with Yinzhi, and the two often went out for trips and shopping.
He Zhuo also prepared several sets of Hanfu (traditional Han clothing), which the couple wore when they went out. They would either go shopping one day, visit the flower sea in Fragrant Hills the next, or stroll through the local markets.
Or perhaps it's just the two of them in that teahouse, drinking tea and listening to the storyteller's captivating narration, which is met with cheers from the entire audience.
Take the children to the horse farm for horseback riding, barbecue, and mare's milk wine.
I'm living a wonderful life, I don't have time to bother you guys.
However, it is true that He Zhuo was the only one favored.
In the back courtyard, Consort Fan and Consort Guan are both quite old; they are several years older than the Master, and he no longer stays in their rooms. Furthermore, Lady Wuya has already passed away. Originally, after the downfall of Lady Wuya's family, Yinzhi didn't intend to treat her badly, treating her well with good food and drink. But she insisted on causing trouble, making Consort Xitala seriously ill, which has led to her current poor health.
Because of this incident, Yinzhi and Hezhuo felt that this person was a source of trouble, so they had her die suddenly. They also said that her personal maids had died for their master because they missed him, which was considered to give an explanation to the ailing Xitala clan.
Of the two princesses in Nalan's concubine's quarters, one, Guo, was disliked because of rumors, while the other, Ruan, had given birth to six princesses and was still somewhat favored every month.
In addition, Consort Li had long been disliked by Yinzhi, but she continued to live in the mansion as usual. Hezhuo did not reduce her allowance, so her life was relatively peaceful.
