Just based on this point, he lost to Yinzhi. If the Crown Princess never got pregnant, he would probably have to find a way to replace her.
Why should a princess who cannot give birth occupy the position of future queen?
There were many women of noble birth in the Eight Banners. He believed that if the Crown Princess really died, many people would want to marry him as his successor.
Three months later, news of the pregnancy of the first wife came out again. At that time, Mu Sili was talking with Rong Fei in Zhongcui Palace.
Upon hearing the news that she was pregnant again, Concubine Rong sighed.
"The eldest wife is such a pitiful woman. How could she get pregnant right after her confinement? She doesn't take her body seriously at all.
Li'er, you can't learn from her. This body is your own. Your mother's health deteriorated because she gave birth to children continuously.
After this baby is born, just take good care of yourself and don’t worry about anything else. Mother will help you take care of it.
As long as you can give birth to a few healthy children for the third child, regardless of gender, my mother will be satisfied."
"Don't worry, mother. Your daughter-in-law knows everything. It's just that your eldest sister-in-law has given birth so frequently. Doesn't Concubine Hui care?"
"Empress Hui?"
Rong Fei was too lazy to say anything to her. Hui Fei had been expecting the first wife to give birth to a legitimate grandson, but unfortunately, God was on the side of the prince.
Even though the Crown Princess entered the palace seven years later, the emperor's eldest grandson was still born in Yuqing Palace.
Concubine Hui was feeling pent up, and it was good enough that she didn't take it out on the First Concubine. How could she even think about her?
In addition, she thought that the eldest wife's family background was still a bit low, and she hoped that something would happen to the eldest wife so that she could replace her with a daughter-in-law of higher family background.
"Concubine Hui is so arrogant. She thinks she is superior to others just because she gave birth to the eldest son. She is one of the four concubines. If the emperor really liked the eldest son, he would have made her a noble concubine long ago.
If it weren't for my mother not wanting to compete with her for those empty positions, how could my mother always be ranked last among the four concubines? Forget it, let's not mention her, it's unlucky."
Seeing that Concubine Rong no longer mentioned Concubine Hui, Mu Sili tactfully stopped asking.
She was now being watched closely by Yinzhi, and she could only relax when she came to Zhongcui Palace, but it was getting late, and she had to go back.
If I go back too late, Yinzhi will be scared again.
Mu Sili had no idea what was going on in Yinzhi's mind. Ever since she found out she was pregnant, Yinzhi had gone mad, always worried that she was being framed.
But she was just the prince's wife and couldn't get in anyone's way. Even if she really gave birth to a little prince, no one would really do anything to them.
"Look at your memory, mother. I called you here today to tell you that the fifth brother will be getting married on the third day of next month. You will be five months pregnant by then, so don't go to crowded places.
If you can avoid going, mother would hope you don't go, but no, you are her sister-in-law. If you don't go, the fifth wife will think you look down on her.
Plus, you two met during the talent show, so you're considered a semi-acquaintance to her. Lao Wu doesn't like her, but if you were here, he would give Lao Wu's wife some face."
"Yes, don't worry, mother. Your daughter-in-law will go with you."
"Okay, come, send the Third Lady back to the prince's residence."
Soon the day of Yinqi's wedding arrived. When Mu Sili and Yinzhi arrived, the fifth wife, Tatala, had just been sent into the bridal chamber.
"Third brother and his wife are here, please take a seat. Third sister-in-law and eldest sister-in-law can sit together. You are both pregnant, so it is better not to be stained by the smell of alcohol."
Yinqi is a gentle and elegant man who considers things comprehensively. Seeing Mu Sili with a big belly, he was also quite scared.
If anything happened to Mu Sili here, not to mention Yinzhi, even his mother, Concubine Yi, would come and deal with him personally.
Even though today is his wedding day, according to Concubine Yi's personality, she will not consider his face.
When Yinqi thought that he might be beaten by Concubine Yi, he silently shed bitter tears.
"Fifth brother, what's with that expression? Today is your wedding day, you can't have a sad face."
Yinzhi and the prince both came. Yinqi was the least threatening person to them, so they all sincerely wished him a happy wedding.
After all, ever since Yinqi was brought up by the empress dowager, he lost the right to compete with them.
No matter who comes to power in the future, they will give Yinqi some benefits for the sake of the empress dowager.
In the bridal chamber, Hetala kept her head down, and others could not see her expression.
Yinqi just told her that he would not give her too much favor, and the person he really liked was his concubine Liu Jia.
Of course, she was the legitimate wife. Even though her birth was low, she was selected through selection and married to the Fifth Wife by Emperor Kangxi. What Yinqi said just now was really a slap in her face.
"Fujin, you said before that you knew the Third Fujin. Why don't I ask the Third Fujin to come in and keep you company?"
Seeing that she kept her head down, Tala's maid wanted to ask Mu Sili to come in and keep her company and comfort her.
But Hetala didn't want to see Mu Sili. Seeing her would make her look even more inferior, so she rejected the maid's kindness.
"No need. I heard that my third sister-in-law is five months pregnant. It's better not to let her go this time. Let the Japanese lady visit her later."
"yes."
The eldest lady, who was sitting at the same table with Mu Sili, had been secretly observing Mu Sili. Like Mu Sili, she was favored by her husband, but she noticed something different.
Although Yinzhi doted on her, he still stayed with his concubines, but he just didn't let them get pregnant.
But Yinzhi was different. Before Mu Sili married into the palace, he no longer went to the concubine's room. Even when Mu Sili was pregnant, he only lived in her yard.
Moreover, Rong Fei also liked her as a daughter-in-law very much, and she had no objection even if Yinzhi favored her alone.
Especially after she got pregnant, he not only often sent people to deliver gifts to her, but also came to comfort her personally, telling her not to worry about giving birth to a princess, etc.
Compared with Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong is a much better mother-in-law.
"Why does the eldest sister-in-law keep looking at my sister-in-law? But what's wrong with my sister-in-law?"
Seeing that the eldest lady was staring at her, Mu Sili asked in confusion.
"No, sister-in-law just thinks that my sister-in-law is blessed, unlike me, who has a bad fate."
Mu Sili didn't quite understand her thoughts. What did it mean to have a bad fate? If she really had a bad fate, how could she marry the prince and become his wife?
Moreover, since she married Yinzhi, Yinzhi has attached great importance to her as his wife. The four princesses under his name were all born from her womb. Isn't this a bad fate?
"Sister-in-law is crazy. In my sister-in-law's opinion, sister-in-law is very blessed. Your baby is almost three months old, right?"
The eldest wife looked at her belly and sighed. This was her last chance.
"It's just three months old. I just hope this baby is a boy, otherwise I don't know how I'm going to face my father."
Seeing that she was determined to give birth to a prince, Mu Sili didn't want to continue talking to her.
