"I see that the Emperor is becoming more and more interested in Concubine Zhao. Are you sure she's pregnant with a princess? If she's pregnant with a prince, then the little prince I've worked so hard to get would be useless."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Not only you, but even those people have sent people to inquire about the news. Concubine Zhao is indeed pregnant with a princess.
She is also unlucky. The emperor dotes on her so much, but she can't give birth to a prince. When the princess is born, the emperor will definitely be disappointed. If you take the little prince as your son, you will surely regain his favor."
Wu Yachang felt that what she said made sense. She was born into a bannerman family, and if she didn't plan for herself, her family would be bannermen for the rest of their lives.
"You're right, I'm just waiting to appease the Emperor and regain his favor. It's just Jingyang Palace. If I can move in, I can move out."
"It's best if you think so, young lady. You just gave birth, so you need to take good care of yourself during the confinement period, otherwise everything you just said will be in vain."
Empress Xiaozhuang was unhappy when she learned that Uya Changzai gave birth to a prince but the prince was taken away by Concubine Tong without even being able to see him. She was also a mother and understood the pain.
"Princess, since the Emperor is unwilling to promote her, it proves that she is not virtuous. Otherwise, why would the Emperor only grant her a title? Don't think about it."
"I don't want to be disturbed by these troubles, but the news has reached me. If I don't do something, I'm afraid the women in the harem will make trouble.
Go ask Xuanye what happened and why he didn't promote her. Also, send someone to take good care of Concubine Zhao. I'm worried someone might attack her."
"Don't worry, when Concubine Yan launched the attack, I arranged for someone to protect Concubine Zhao. The Emperor also stayed by her side every step of the way. She is very safe."
"Indeed, she is the apple of Xuanye's eye. He would never let her get hurt in the slightest. Now that Wuya has given birth to a child, her family should also receive some rewards."
"You mean to give them a promotion? Although it's the rule to do so, the emperor didn't promote Concubine Yan. Wouldn't it be too much of an honor for her to give her a promotion?"
After careful analysis, Empress Xiaozhuang decided to give her branch a high status. No matter what, the little prince was her son, and even if he was adopted by Concubine Tong, it could not change this fact.
Besides, Concubine Tong cannot be blamed for trying to appease others since she herself did something dishonest. If she wants to avoid gossip, she must pay a price.
"I know what you mean, but since the Imperial Concubine is the most important person in the harem, if word gets out that the royal family is stealing someone else's child, I can't afford to be embarrassed."
Su Malagu understood that Empress Xiaozhuang could do this to cover up her tracks. Even if someone was dissatisfied with Concubine Tong adopting the little prince, the matter would be left unresolved because of Uya's support.
What's more, although she raised the banner for them, she only raised the banner for her father's branch, so the impact was not great.
"You are so thoughtful. I didn't think of this. I think after Concubine Yan learns that her family has been promoted, her resentment towards Concubine Tong will be reduced."
"You're wrong. She's not a simple person. Go get some information first. I don't want to make things easier for others."
"yes."
Su Malagu came back soon, her face full of helplessness. Xiaozhuang knew at a glance that it was her own fault that Uya Changzai was not promoted.
"I knew Xuanye wouldn't break the rules. Since she brought this upon herself, let her stay in Jingyang Palace and don't let her come out and cause trouble for others."
"I understand."
A month later, Kangxi held a full-moon banquet for the little prince in Chengqian Palace. It was not grand, but everyone who was supposed to come came. He gave him the name Yinzhen, and named him the Fourth Prince, fourth in age.
Since Concubine Tong adopted Yinzhen, she has done everything herself. Those who don’t know would think that she is his biological mother.
Wu Ya often stared at Yinzhen in Concubine Tong's arms. That was her child. She was supposed to be the one being the center of attention today, but she didn't expect that he would be snatched away by Concubine Tong.
Since she had snatched her child away, she naturally had to give her back her status as a noble. If she didn't speak up for her today, she would expose their original agreement.
Concubine Tong was determined to become the queen. She adopted Yinzhen because she had no children and was afraid that she would not be able to hold the position of queen. She certainly did not want anyone to know her plan.
Seeing Kangxi looking at Yinzhen with tenderness on his face, Wu Yachang's eyes rolled and tears began to fall.
"Your Highness, could you please allow me to hold the Fourth Prince? It's been a month, and this is the first time I've seen him. I really can't help but want to be close to him. Please grant me this."
Concubine Tong's originally happy mood instantly sank. Uya was so bold that she dared to say such words in such an occasion. Wasn't this clearly saying that she didn't allow her to see Yinzhen?
She had such an idea, but how could she not be allowed to see her when she really came?
That was the child she had carried for ten months and risked her life to give birth to. She regretted it after taking the child away, but she never asked about it in the past month. What did she mean by saying this now?
No, let's not talk about whether she lets him see her or not. She just came out of confinement. How can she see him during confinement? Could it be that he wants her to take the initiative to bring Yinzhen to see her? What a sweet dream!
Mu Sili watched Wu Yachang acting as if she was watching a joke. Although she also felt that what Concubine Tong did was wrong, Wu Yachang was obviously doing it on purpose, so she just watched.
Kangxi looked at her worriedly. She was already eight months pregnant. If they accidentally bumped into her, she would give birth prematurely. As expected, she should not be allowed to go out in such a crowded place.
"Your Majesty, what's with that expression? Do you think someone is trying to harm me? That's not happening. Today is the Fourth Prince's full moon banquet, and I want to share in his good fortune. Please rest assured."
Both Kangxi and Xiaozhuang arranged a lot of people to protect her. Even if someone really attacked her, they would probably be dealt with before they could do anything. She was very safe.
"I think Yan Chang is targeting you in this situation. How about I go back first and wait for you to deal with it before coming to find me in Yikun Palace?"
"Do I look like such a fool? Behave yourself and don't hurt my little princess."
"Sure enough, ever since the Emperor confirmed that I was pregnant with a princess, he has been treating me even less well than before. It seems I have conceived a rival in love."
Kangxi was successfully led astray by Mu Sili. Shouldn't he be watching the fun of Uya and Concubine Tong at this time? Why did he end up watching his fun?
"You may not be able to do it, but I read my fortune and it says I will be able to give birth in another month, so don't worry."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you, Wu Ya. Today is Xiao Si's full moon banquet. Don't make a fuss here. Considering that you just came out of confinement, I don't care about what you said just now. Come, send her back."
