It was not until he returned to Chengqian Palace that Yinzhen realized that he had been forcibly brought back. He was very unhappy. He just wanted to accompany Yinzuo, so why did the Imperial Noble Concubine disagree?
The Imperial Noble Consort also noticed his displeasure. At that moment, she felt as if she had raised an ungrateful person.
"Xiao Si, is it possible that I can't ask you to come back?"
"No, Empress Dowager has misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just promised Sixth Brother that I would go with him, and I don't want him to think that I'm a traitor."
The nanny rolled her eyes behind the Imperial Noble Consort's back. The Sixth Prince was only a few years old and had no idea what breaking one's promise meant. She thought that Consort De was misleading Yinzhen and trying to sow discord between him and the Imperial Noble Consort.
"I won't stop you from going to Yonghe Palace. After all, you already know that Concubine De is your biological mother. But I hope you will consider the consequences before doing anything and don't let yourself regret it."
The Imperial Noble Consort wanted to remind Yinzhen, but Yinzhen only heard that the Imperial Noble Consort would not stop him from going to Yonghe Palace. As for the advice she gave, he did not listen to a word of it.
Yinzhen still went to Yonghe Palace, and the person sent by the imperial concubine to find Kangxi also came back.
"Your Highness, I have already informed the Emperor of your intention. The Emperor said that in addition to the homework assigned by the teacher, he will also assign some additional homework to the Fourth Prince.
In addition, the Emperor has asked this servant to bring you a message: Concubine Min is pregnant for the first time, and the Emperor hopes that you can take good care of Concubine Min and ensure the safety of both mother and child."
The Imperial Noble Consort nodded and indicated that this was all she should do. As the person with the highest rank in the harem, she had the obligation to take good care of the concubines.
After all, after Mu Sili gave birth to this baby, she had to call her Empress Mother.
Judging from Kangxi's attitude towards her, if Kangxi plans to make her his empress after she takes good care of her, her chances of success will be even higher.
"Mammy, I'm tired. When Xiao Si comes back, have her finish the assignment the Emperor has given her. Starting tomorrow, don't give her the chance to go to Yonghe Palace. Remember that?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. This old servant has remembered this. However, Your Majesty, this action of yours has gone a bit too far. Will you teach the Yonghe Palace a lesson?"
"It doesn't matter. If I attack her now, others won't have to guess and will know it was me. If I want to become the queen, I absolutely cannot let anyone catch me."
"I understand."
Outside the palace, Hai Kuan also received the news that Mu Sili was pregnant. He was a little dazed. He was still worried about Mu Sili yesterday, but today she announced that she was pregnant. Is this true?
"Master, are you so happy? To be honest, I didn't expect Li'er to be so ambitious. That's the emperor's heir. She has only been favored for a little over a month, and I didn't expect she would have an heir so soon.
Li'er will not let go of the Uya clan's persecution of our Zhangjia clan. We must control our clansmen well and not let anyone catch us.
Li'er is only a noble lady now. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be promoted to a concubine after giving birth. If she can hold on for a few more years, she may even become a consort. Taking care of her from behind is the greatest support we can give her."
Hai Kuan agreed with his wife's words, and he felt that this matter could only be accomplished with the concerted efforts of all the tribe members, so he gathered the tribe members together overnight and told them about Mu Sili's pregnancy.
After learning that Mu Sili was pregnant, the whole scene became quite agitated. This was the heir to the throne with the blood of their Zhangjia clan, how could they not be excited?
Moreover, there has already been the incident where the Uya family was promoted because of Concubine De. If Kangxi also promotes their family after Mu Sili gives birth, then the Zhangjia family will be able to hold their heads high and live with dignity.
Although the name "baoyi family" sounds good, it is still a status of slaves. It is more realistic to become a noble family.
Uya didn't expect that Mu Sili would be pregnant, and her previous plan fell through. However, they were not worried at all that the female driver would give birth to a prince, after all, there was Concubine De in the palace.
Half a month later, the imperial physician came to see Mu Sili for a follow-up examination.
Seeing his expression becoming more and more surprised, Molan couldn't help it.
"Imperial Physician, what's that expression on your face? The young lady is carrying the heir..."
"What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? The young lady is pregnant with a royal heir who is doing very well. I am surprised that the young lady is pregnant with three little masters. It's not what you think!"
“Three!”
Molan looked at Mu Sili's belly with surprise and joy. This was a great event, and she had to go to the Qianqing Palace immediately to report to Kangxi.
"My lady, I will go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. If the Emperor knew that you were pregnant with three little princes, he would surely be very happy."
"Go ahead. I never thought I'd be so lucky to have three children at once. Imperial Physician, is there anything you'd like to advise me on?"
"No, the young lady is in good health and does not need any special instructions. I have already told Miss Molan the precautions before. Just follow them."
"good."
After receiving the news, Kangxi came to Qixiang Palace as quickly as possible. His expression was filled with uncontrollable surprise. Even though he now had ten surviving princes, none of them could compare to the surprise of having multiple births.
"This concubine pays respects to the Emperor."
"Hurry up, you're pregnant, so you'll have to skip these rituals in the future. I don't care about these details. How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine, Your Majesty, don't worry. The imperial physician said I'm in good health and don't need any special care. I'll be fine as usual."
"That won't do. You're pregnant with more than one child. I'm worried no matter how I think about it. So, I'm going to the Cining Palace and ask Aunt Suma to take care of you.
Aunt Suma has taken care of my father and my parents, so she is more than capable of taking care of you. With her around, I can feel more at ease."
"But isn't Aunt Suma supposed to be taking care of the Grand Empress Dowager? Isn't it a bit of a waste of her talents for her to be taking care of the concubines?"
"It's okay. Aunt Suma will be happy to be of use to her and won't think about anything else. Molan, take good care of your master. I'm leaving first."
"Yes, I will respectfully escort the Emperor."
Kangxi hurried to the Cining Palace and happened to catch Xiaozhuang having lunch. Since he hadn't had lunch yet, Kangxi had a meal with Xiaozhuang in the Cining Palace.
"Xuanye, is there something I can help you with? You haven't dined with me for a long time. I don't think you came all the way here just to eat for free."
"Look at my grandson's memory, Madam Royal, Concubine Min is pregnant with her third child. I am happy and nervous at the same time, so I want to ask you to let Aunt Suma take care of her.
You also know that this is her first pregnancy, and she's pregnant with three babies. This is a first for the Qing imperial family, and there's no room for error. The only person I can think of is Aunt Suma."
