Chapter 14 Thirteenth Prince
In the silent yard, the voice was as clear as an explosion next to his ear, but he clearly did not see who spoke.
Kangxi paused, swallowed the words he had not spoken, and looked around at the four people in front of him, as if trying to see something from their expressions.
Such bold words are simply outrageous! A hint of murderous intent flashed through Kangxi's mind.
His gaze shifted to Concubine An, whose expression was as calm as ever, and she didn't seem like someone who would be so bold and reckless.
Then he turned to the two people behind Concubine An who had obvious joy on their faces. Judging from their clothes, they were probably concubines of low rank. There were so many concubines in the palace that Kangxi could no longer remember them all.
Seeing his gaze fall on them, obvious shyness emerged on the two of them's faces, and they even dared to flirt with him. Kangxi was very unhappy in his heart, and his dislike for Concubine An also increased.
How does Concubine An manage the people in her palace? Such an unruly thing dares to get close to her. He really doesn't know how to live or die!
However, these two don't seem to look alike.
His gaze wandered around and finally fell on Yuying.
[Ahhhhhh why is he looking over here? What should I do? How about I kowtow to him? Help me, help me! ]
At the same time, the voice rang out again.
Oh, I found it. Although he didn't know how this word got to his ears, he was not in a hurry. Now that he had found the person, why would he be afraid of not being able to figure out the whole story?
Kangxi retracted his gaze and looked at Anpin again, and asked: "Anpin, tell me, how long has Zhang Jia been in there?"
I caught a glimpse of her seeming to be relieved, and sure enough, I heard the voice again the next moment.
[Huh—So that's what you're asking. He still has some conscience and cares about me. Don't worry, your son will be born safely!]
Yuying complained in her heart in annoyance.
Kangxi probably understood that he probably heard the voice of this person. Don't ask why he can hear other people's voices and remain calm. After all, there is still a "system" in front of him that is still unknown. It is just hearing the voice of the heart.
Wait—what did she just say?
son?
How could she be so sure that it was her son?
Could it be that she...can predict the future?
Kangxi had doubts in his mind, and the murderous intent that had been surging in his heart dissipated a little. If she could really predict the future, then this person could not be killed casually.
Forget it, for now, let Zhang Jiashi wait for this baby to be born. Since she said that it can be born safely, I will believe her for once. If she is wrong, don't blame me for being cruel.
Yuying had no idea that a butcher's knife was already on her neck. When she heard that Kangxi was coming to question Concubine An, she subconsciously relaxed and stopped paying attention, wholeheartedly waiting for the birth of her golden thigh.
All this happened in a flash.
The concubines' eyes followed Kangxi, and then they heard him asking Concubine An.
Showing all kinds of expressions.
Tong Jia clenched her teeth. Why would her cousin go to see Concubine An? She thought Concubine An was a good person, but she didn't expect that all the bitches in the harem were the same!
Concubine Niohuru has always been a person who does not like to fight with others. She never cares where Kangxi goes or who he stands next to.
Concubine De carefully pondered the meaning of Kangxi's action. She always felt that the emperor was not going to find Concubine An. Unfortunately, she could not see the emperor's expression, so she could only listen with doubts.
Kangxi's tall figure obscured Concubine An and also blocked the curious looks from others.
Concubine An, who took in all of Kangxi's expressions, had her eyes flickering, and the thoughts that had been suppressed in her heart popped up again at an inopportune time.
But right now is obviously not a good time to think about this.
Hearing Kangxi's question, Concubine An replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, it has been about three hours since Concubine Zhangjia entered the delivery room." Fortunately, she had been paying attention to the time, otherwise no one could withstand this sudden question.
Kangxi was speechless after hearing this. He was not here to care about this, but this was not the right time to bring anyone up, so he had to suppress his thoughts and just stood beside Concubine An.
Tong Jia was about to bite her teeth to pieces. How could her cousin do that? She always liked to show her close relationship with Kangxi in front of everyone, just like standing side by side like this. But, how dare Anpin! She subconsciously ignored the fact that Anpin lagged behind Kangxi by half a body length, and her heart and eyes were full of hurt.
Unfortunately, Kangxi was not a man who sympathized with women. Moreover, at this moment, Kangxi's attention was divided half to the delivery room and half to the person who was pretending to be a quail.
Yuying did not notice the undercurrent beneath the silence, she just felt that he was worthy of being Kangxi. Even with several people between them, she could feel the oppression.
a long time.
"It's born, it's born..."
"Wow……"
The strange atmosphere was broken by the midwife's shrill voice and the baby's crying.
Everyone's attention was finally diverted.
After a while, the midwife came out to announce the good news, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Zhang Jia has given birth to a healthy prince! Both mother and child are safe!"
The other concubines also joined in the congratulations, and Yuying followed the crowd and knelt down.
Perhaps because he had too many sons, or perhaps because he knew the gender of the child first, Kangxi did not show any obvious joy, but only said lightly, "Reward--"
But he seemed to be the only one who thought so.
Because Yuying's excited voice entered his mind the next moment.
[Aaaaaaaah yeah! Little Thirteen! I knew it! My golden thighs! Here I come!]
At this moment, Yuying wished she could fly into the delivery room so that she could see with her own eyes the security of her future.
Little did she know that when Kangxi heard what she said, a trace of suspicion flashed through his mind.
How could this person be so stupid? If someone were to say that the thickest thigh in the Forbidden City should be mine, shouldn't it be mine? I'm right in front of her, but I don't even know how to curry favor with her.
What can a newborn baby rely on for survival?
If Yuying knew what he was thinking, she would spit at him. Of course she knew you were the thickest and strongest thigh, but didn't you give her a chance to hug? Besides, who would dare to curry favor with you in front of all the concubines? Could it be that you think you have lived too long?
After a while, Qiuhua came out of the room holding a baby.
"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, the young prince is here."
Kangxi looked at Yuying's eager expression and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Bring it here for me to see."
Qiuhua approached with forced calmness. Kangxi reached out and lifted a corner of the swaddling clothes, revealing a subtle smile, "This is my Thirteenth Prince! Yes, he does look strong, and he will definitely become an excellent Baturu of the Qing Dynasty in the future!"
Tong Jia came over, took a look, and praised: "This little boy looks a bit like my fourth prince."
When Concubine De, who was following closely behind, heard this, she clenched the handkerchief in her hand and her face suddenly turned pale.
Concubine An stood quietly on the other side, not knowing what she was thinking.
Suddenly, as if she saw Yuying's eager eyes, she said, "Wei Da Ying, you are good friends with Zhang Jia, come and see her child."
When Yuying heard this, she was surprised at first by the formal title of Concubine An, but then she was delighted.
"Thank you, Concubine An!"
Yuying couldn't wait to walk forward. She wanted to stand next to Concubine An and watch from afar, but she didn't know what Concubine An was thinking. She took a step back as if unintentionally and gave up her seat next to Kangxi.
Yuying was completely unaware, while Qingtao saw Concubine An's actions from the side. Looking at her own mistress's heartless look, she couldn't help but worry for Yuying.
Kangxi did notice it, glanced at Concubine An, and then looked away in disgust.
Except for Yuying, everyone else noticed Concubine An's actions, but the emperor didn't say anything, and she didn't want to scold him without the emperor's knowledge. She just cursed Concubine An in her heart for not knowing the rules.
Yuying leaned over and looked at the baby in the cradle.
[Hey, why is it so ugly?]
Yuying widened her eyes, revealing a clear and stupid look.
She didn't understand, she was shocked.
Aren’t children supposed to be white, chubby and cute?
Why is it so red and wrinkled?
Kangxi did not feel angry because his son was disliked. His eyes fell uncontrollably on the girl beside him. Looking at her hair scattered on her cheeks, his heart moved and he rubbed his fingers implicitly and restrainedly.
And the voices continue to come.
[It’s a pity that I don’t have a camera, otherwise I could record it and keep it as a black history. If Xiao Shisan refuses to support me in my old age, I can use it to threaten him!]
[Alas, the Thirteenth Prince was just born. When will I be able to enjoy my retirement life? Counting the days, Emperor Kangxi can still be the emperor for another 36 years. Will I be dead by then?]
Boom——
The unexpected news hit Kangxi like this -
