Seeing that he stopped moving forward, Liang Jiugong followed behind him silently.
He knew that Concubine Rong was really different. When did the Emperor start eavesdropping on other people's conversations? Tsk tsk tsk!
If an ordinary person were to be discovered, he would definitely be beaten, but if it were the emperor, the person on the other side would probably have to wonder if he had said something wrong if he was discovered.
"Liang Jiugong, go to my private storehouse and pick out some things for Rongpin. Oh, and pick out two toys suitable for little girls to play with for Rongxian. My daughter deserves the best."
The corner of Liang Jiugong's mouth twitched. What nonsense was the emperor talking about? Princess Rongxian was the most favored princess. Who would dare to treat her harshly?
"Yes, I'll go right away."
When Liang Jiugong came back with the things, the family was having dinner, chatting and laughing.
Liang Jiugong looked up at the sky, then looked at Kangxi who was smiling. In just a moment, why did he feel that Concubine Rong was the queen, and she and the emperor were a legitimate couple?
Seeing how happy the family was, he felt embarrassed to go in and disturb them.
What if I disturb Kangxi's mood and give him a beating?
Forget it, let’s come back later!
When the concubines in the harem learned that Mu Sili was pregnant, their attitudes varied.
Most of them thought that it was only a matter of time before she got pregnant after being favored by the emperor. Besides, they had witnessed her disgusting behavior a month ago and did not want to get close to her and be scolded at this time.
Only Depin of Yonghe Palace said congratulations on the surface, but her palms hidden in her sleeves were almost scratched by her fingernails.
"What a good trick! Concubine Rong is actually pregnant. Just as she said, there really is a pregnant woman in the harem.
But even if she is pregnant, it still counts if she gives birth. If she can’t give birth, I don’t know if the emperor will banish her to the cold palace.”
"What does the Queen mean?"
"Chunhua, pass a message to Father. I don't want to see Rongpin's child born."
"Yes, my lady."
Don’t be fooled by Depin’s gentle appearance. In fact, she is the most ruthless person in the harem.
Relying on his status as a bondservant family, although his background is a bit low, he has many conveniences.
For example, she often secretly gave abortion drugs to concubines who were pregnant but didn't know it. However, these people thought that their periods had just come early and never suspected that they were pregnant.
Originally, only Depin and Concubine Daijia were pregnant in the entire palace. As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable. In order to win the emperor's favor, Concubine Daijia was secretly given a secret drug by Uya.
This secret medicine will not cause Concubine Dai Jia to have a miscarriage, but it will affect the development of the fetus in her womb.
Whether the baby in Concubine Dai Jia's belly is healthy is still a question, so there is no need to worry at all that she will compete with me for favor.
It’s not that she was kind-hearted and didn’t want to take action against Concubine Dai Jia’s child. First of all, Concubine Dai Jia lived in a side hall of the Yanx Palace, and Concubine Hui was quite strict with the palace servants, so it was already good enough that she could give her the secret medicine.
Furthermore, if she was the only one pregnant in the palace, she would be making herself a target for others to frame. She was not stupid, so she did not cause Concubine Dai Jia to have a miscarriage.
With Concubine Dai Jia around, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Concubine Tong would not pursue the issue of low fertility rate in the harem.
But things are different now. Rongpin already has a son and a daughter, and now she is pregnant, which is icing on the cake. If she gives birth to another son, who in the palace can compare with her?
What's more, Kangxi seemed to be bewitched by a fox spirit. He either stayed in the Qianqing Palace or went to the Zhongcui Palace all day long.
He only came to see her once this month, and he just stayed for a while and left. How could she not be anxious?
After receiving the letter from Concubine De, Uya began to take action.
Ever since Depin came into favor, the Uya clan saw obvious benefits. More people followed them and more families attached to them. Gradually, the Uya clan began to look like the number one bannerman family.
In addition, the emperor had mentioned to Depin that if Depin's child was also a prince, she would be given a higher banner, reportedly to the Manchu Plain Yellow Banner.
After this rumor spread, many girls from the Wuya clan married into wealthy families, and even the men married many noble ladies from aristocratic families.
Now that Concubine Rong has become an eyesore to Concubine De, they have to find a way to get rid of her. Even if they can't, they can at least get rid of the baby in her womb.
"Master, Concubine Rong has a son and a daughter, and is quite favored by the Emperor. I heard that the Emperor has been staying in Zhongcui Palace for the past month. Would it be bad to act rashly against her?"
Depin's mother, Lady Uya, wanted to persuade her husband. In her opinion, her daughter was just angry for a moment and would be fine after a while. There was no need to target a concubine who had a son and was favored by her husband.
What's more, Rongpin's Ma Jia family is not a simple family. If they are discovered and retaliated by the other party, they will not be able to bear it.
But Wei Wu didn't think so. Their Uya clan was about to get rid of their bannerman status, so how could he let others disturb his daughter's mood?
"Madam, there is no need to say more. I have my own opinion on this matter."
Madam Uya had no choice but to send a sign to the palace, wanting to enter the palace to persuade her daughter.
