"Congratulations, my lady! You are pregnant. It's only been over a month, so you need to be cautious."
"Thank you, Doctor Xu. I understand."
After Doctor Xu left, Mu Sili arranged for Zhang Qiyong to report the matter to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Kangxi was very happy to hear that Guo Luoluo was also pregnant.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, but when he heard the good news from Yikun Palace, his mood became very good.
There are now five pregnant concubines in the palace, namely, Imperial Noble Consort, Noble Consort Wenxi, Noble Consort Yi, Noble Consort De and Noble Lady Guo Luoluo. Empress Xiaozhuang intuitively felt that God had mercy on the Qing Dynasty, and she was so excited that she wanted to go to Mount Wutai to fulfill her wish.
"Xuanye, I made a wish at Mount Wutai before, hoping that the Buddha would bless you with many children. Look, it hasn't been long since then, and five of your concubines are pregnant.
Besides, except for Noble Lady Guo Luoluo, all of them were high-ranking concubines. I was really happy in my heart. I also thought that I should fulfill my wish after it was fulfilled, so I planned to take the Queen Mother to Mount Wutai to fulfill it.
The Empress Dowager hasn't left the palace for several years since she took care of Xiao Wu. It's a good opportunity for me to take her out to relax. I will send Xiao Wu back to Yikun Palace to let Concubine Yi take care of her for a while, and then send her to Ningshou Palace when she returns."
Xiaozhuang was worthy of being the one who raised Kangxi. When she saw Kangxi said that she wanted to take the empress dowager with her, he just frowned, and she knew what he was thinking.
Anyway, I am old, and if I care too much, it may affect the relationship between me and Kangxi.
In addition, the prince has to move to the prince's residence when he is six years old. Even if Xiaowu is sent back to Yiku Palace now, Mu Sili, as his mother, will not be able to raise him for a few years.
It would be better to send Xiaowu back openly. Xiaowu is a filial and sensible person. After she leaves, the empress dowager will have someone to rely on. Mu Sili will also be grateful for the empress dowager's kindness and serve her well.
"Okay, when does Royal Mam leave?"
"Three days later, you have to prepare something to fulfill your vow."
"I understand."
Kangxi hurried to the Yiku Palace, wanting to tell Mu Sili the news, but he was almost dragged to Yonghe Palace by Defei's men on the way.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. The Sixth Prince has suddenly caught a cold. Your Majesty is very worried and has sent me here to ask you to visit him."
If this had happened in the past, Kangxi would have followed people to Yonghe Palace without saying a word.
But today was different. When he heard the palace maid's words, his first reaction was not why his son was sick, but whether Concubine De had become stupid because of her pregnancy.
Why would you go to him if you're sick instead of seeing the imperial physician? He can't cure illnesses. Besides, he's busy telling Mu Sili that she's sending Xiaowu back to Yiku Palace to live for a while.
"I still have to go to Yikun Palace. With Consort De as his biological mother in Yonghe Palace, Xiao Liu will definitely be safe. Also, I'm not an imperial physician and I can't diagnose. Please ask someone to ask the imperial physician to examine Sixth Prince."
The maid instantly showed a bitter face. She dared to guarantee that if she passed this message back verbatim, Concubine De would not say anything openly, but her days as a maid were over.
After all, she failed to invite Kangxi, so in Defei's eyes she was a useless person. Why should a useless person be kept in a prominent position?
"Your Majesty, the Queen is pregnant. Why don't you go and see her? When I came out, the Queen was so worried that she almost fainted. I am really worried about her health."
The palace maid had a good idea. Everyone in the palace knew that apart from the most favored Concubine Yi, Kangxi's favorite was Concubine De of Yonghe Palace. The fact that she got pregnant one after another showed how much Kangxi doted on her.
Moreover, the Empress and Concubine Yi have always been at odds. If she could coax Kangxi, who was about to go to Yiku Palace, to Yonghe Palace, the Empress would probably favor her.
But she overlooked one point. Kangxi would be more patient with people he was interested in, but the other party had to understand his humility. If the other party did not, he would not give them any face.
Obviously, Kangxi took the palace maid's behavior as an instruction from Concubine De, and he was very unhappy.
"What is Concubine De doing? Can't she take care of Sixth Prince just because she's pregnant? If that's the case, I think it's best to send Sixth Prince to the prince's residence, so he doesn't get scared to death by catching a cold."
"Your Majesty, calm down."
The palace maid was so frightened by these words that she knelt on the ground. How could Kangxi act against the rules?
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't he be sympathetic to Concubine De's hardship during her pregnancy, and then go back with her to Yonghe Palace to visit Concubine De and the sick Sixth Prince?
"Liang Jiugong, this palace maid has not learned the rules well. She should be sent back to the Imperial Household Department. I think she doesn't need to return to Yonghe Palace if she learns the rules well. Since she can't read people's faces, she should be sent to the Imperial Garden to be a maid to sweep the floor."
"Yes, I understand."
The palace maid's face turned pale. In her opinion, she was just fighting for the interests of her master. Why did she end up being sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
But she didn't dare to make any noise. Kangxi hadn't left yet. If she dared to make a noise, she would probably lose her life.
At this time in Yonghe Palace, Concubine De was looking at herself in the mirror with red eyes, her eyes full of determination.
This baby will be given to the Empress Dowager to raise anyway, so it is better to take this opportunity to build a closer relationship with Kangxi so that she can successfully conceive a child after giving birth.
Unfortunately, she waited and waited until the imperial physician left but Kangxi still didn't come. The tearful performance she had prepared was forced to stop. She was so angry that she wanted to punish the palace maid who was going to inform Kangxi.
At this time, Liang Jiugong came over. She thought Kangxi had also come, so she quickly pretended to care for the child and was heartbroken, which made Liang Jiugong almost sigh in surprise.
Empress Defei is a playful one. Before anyone could see clearly, she started crying loudly. But her crying was really beautiful. Could it be that she had practiced it?
"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort. Her Majesty shouldn't be so sad while she's pregnant, but what's wrong with the Sixth Prince?"
After hearing Liang Jiugong's voice and looking carefully and not seeing Kangxi, Concubine De quickly wiped away the tears from her face, but she still looked a little sad.
"It's Eunuch Liang who's here. I'm just worried about Xiaoliu. He caught a cold out of nowhere. He must be suffering."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Just take good care of Sixth Prince. He is a lucky man and will be fine.
The maidservant who went to ask the Emperor to come has been sent back to the Imperial Household Department. Forgive me for being blunt, but this girl is ignorant and it would be better if she was sent back earlier."
De Fei's expression froze. "Sent back to the Imperial Household Department?" What did that slave girl say to be sent back to the Imperial Household Department? Was she implicated?
Liang Jiugong didn't say anything, and dared to go to Yiku Palace with his men.
In the Yiku Palace, Kangxi looked at Mu Sili who was sleeping soundly and laughed like a pervert.
I have never realized before that Concubine Yi is so charming even when she is asleep. I just can't get enough of looking at her. Since I have nothing to do now, I will wait for him to wake up and tell her the good news.
