That night, Kangxi had a very long dream. He could still clearly remember the scene in the dream when he woke up. His grandson Hongli was one of the twins, a boy and a girl. He pushed the Qing Dynasty into a prosperous era.
But he still doesn’t have a grandson named Hongli. Whose family does this child come from? They are twins, a boy and a girl. The royal family has never had twins. Could it be just a dream?
No, if it was really just a dream, then the dream was too real. After all, in his dream he saw Hongli carrying forward the Qing Dynasty step by step, and he didn't believe it was fake.
"Liang Jiugong, do you know which of my sons' backyards are pregnant recently?"
Liang Jiugong was a little surprised. He knew why the emperor asked such a question for no reason, but wasn't it not good to discuss his son's backyard affairs?
"Why, you don't know? If you don't know, then go check it out for me. Do you really think I'm a freeloader and would ask about this for no reason?"
Kangxi was unhappy. Why did this dog servant look so stupid? How could he have such a servant around him? It was so embarrassing.
I used to think he was quite smart, but could it be that he is too old to react quickly, so he looks a little silly?
"Your Majesty has misunderstood me. You have never asked about the affairs of the princes' palaces, so I am a little surprised. Currently, the only pregnant woman in the backyard is in Prince Yong's palace."
At the Fourth Master's residence? Who was it? It couldn't be the Concubine. Could it be Li? No, he knew that Li was under house arrest. If it was really her, the Fourth Master would have released her long ago.
If it wasn't her, who could it be? Oh, right, I heard that Concubine De gave him a Manchu princess, who seemed to be from the Niuhulu clan. Could it be her?
If it was really her, it wouldn't be bad either. Although he advocated that Manchus and Han people should be one family, he still sided with his own family in his heart.
"Who is that person? How come I didn't know that someone in the Fourth Prince's backyard was pregnant? I haven't heard Concubine De mention it."
"It's Princess Niuhulu, she's been pregnant for nearly two months."
It really is her. Since there really is such a person who is pregnant, he will secretly send someone to investigate whether she is pregnant with twins. If so, he should make careful plans.
Although the crown prince was his only legitimate son and had been firmly on the throne since childhood, his heart was no longer with him as he grew older.
Especially under the guidance of Soetu, he had done so many evil things. If he were allowed to inherit the throne, he was really worried that the Qing Dynasty would be in danger.
If that child is destined to become the emperor, then the fourth son will definitely participate in the fight for the throne, otherwise how can his son become the new emperor?
Kangxi never thought that he would deny the crown prince and approve Yinzhen because of a dream. He felt that his behavior was for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, and he would be able to smile to his ancestors even in the underworld.
"Go, send someone to check whether Niuhulu is pregnant with a single or multiple babies. This news is very important, and I need to know as soon as possible."
"I understand."
Although Liang Jiugong was puzzled, he was obedient. After arranging people to investigate, he secretly sent a message to Yinzhen. The emperor clearly wanted to use him, so of course he had to cling to him.
When Yinzhen received the news from Liang Jiugong, he was completely confused. Why did the emperor want to check whether Mu Sili was pregnant with a single baby or twins? Could it be that he heard some rumors?
No, he has to go to the palace. No matter what the emperor's plan is, he has to take the initiative to explain it. This will be good for him.
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi looked at Yinzhen kneeling on the ground and admitting his mistake with a headache. He had just sent people to his house to investigate the matter of Mu Sili's pregnancy, and now he came to apologize. Isn't this making things difficult for him?
"What did you say just now? I'm afraid I'm too old to hear clearly."
"Father, I say I am guilty. Princess Nianhulu in my family is pregnant, but my wife and Mrs. Song have framed her. I have executed Mrs. Song and confined my wife to the main courtyard.
You also know that sons and offspring are rare. Now there are only Huai Ke and Hong Shi in your family. It is inevitable that you attach more importance to this child of Nianhulu.
Before his son entered the palace, the court physician examined Nianhulu's pulse and found that she was pregnant with twins. If... if she really fell into their trap, his son would lose two more children.
The wife was chosen by the Empress Dowager for her son. The son had no choice but to confine her to the house, otherwise he would be unfilial to the Empress Dowager. However, the son was so disappointed with her that he really could not get along well with her anymore.
"Your Majesty, you have no idea how awful my son's mood was at that time. If it weren't for the alertness of Niuhulu's maid, I'm afraid she would have miscarried."
Yinzhen's words made Kangxi suddenly nervous. His grandson who would unify the country was almost gone. Those were the first pair of twins, a boy and a girl, in the Qing Dynasty. How dare she do anything to them!
"You just said that Niuhulu is pregnant with twins. Is it possible to determine the gender?"
"How could the Emperor ask such a question? Regardless of whether she is pregnant with a boy or a girl, it is my son's child, and I treat them all the same."
Kangxi rolled his eyes at him. Is that what he was asking? He wanted to confirm whether the other party was pregnant with twins, so that he could decide whether to help him ascend to the throne.
"Don't worry about it. Just answer my questions. I have my own plans."
Yinzhen was silent for a moment and then confessed honestly that what he had to do in front of Kangxi was to be completely open and honest so as to gain his trust.
"The court doctor examined her today and said the chances of it being twins are very high, but Niuhulu's pregnancy is still relatively recent, so we can't be sure."
What? They're twins, a boy and a girl! That's fantastic!
Kangxi was excited. If Mu Sili was really giving birth to twins, a boy and a girl, it would prove that his previous dream was true and that Yinzhen's son could bring the Qing Dynasty to its peak.
It just so happens that the crown prince is inactive, and it is only a matter of time before he is deposed. He will not hand over the Qing Dynasty to him. Even if it is not for the unification of the Qing Dynasty, he will replace him with someone else.
Since God has warned him to see the future, he will give him a chance. As long as he can prove that he has the ability, then what's wrong with letting him become the crown prince?
"Take good care of Niuhulu. If she really gives birth to twins, I will make her your concubine. You know the significance of twins. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Yinzhen had thought about requesting a title for Mu Sili, but he never thought that the emperor would take the initiative to bring up this matter.
The significance of twins, a boy and a girl, is indeed great, but not so great that the emperor would attach so much importance to it. Something must have happened that he doesn't know about.
But the benefits are obvious. Since the emperor has said so, if he doesn't seize this opportunity, it will be his problem. Maybe he can even use this opportunity to sit on the throne of the crown prince.
"Don't worry, Father Huang. Regardless of whether Nianhulu is pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, your son will protect her and her unborn child."
