The Fourth Master's Dog

As the days passed, the green buds gradually turned from purple to yellow.

Imperial Concubine Tong's belly was getting bigger and bigger day by day. No matter how reluctant Kangxi was, the Imperial Concubine's belly finally reached the seventh month.

Kangxi's visits to Chengqian Palace did not increase because of his cousin's pregnancy.

Now Imperial Concubine Tong's mind was all on her belly, and she didn't take it too seriously. She just thought that there were too many things happening in the previous dynasty recently, so she came less often.

Since she didn't go to other concubines anyway, Imperial Noble Concubine Tong didn't care. She stayed in Chengqian Palace wholeheartedly and didn't dare to go out this time.

She also specifically asked Kangxi for two experienced old maids.

This time, Imperial Noble Concubine Tong did not push the Fourth Prince Yinzhen away during her pregnancy. She called him back to Chengqian Palace from time to time to cultivate some feelings with the child in her belly.

The care in daily life was more meticulous than before, for fear that the Fourth Prince Yinzhen would feel uncomfortable.

After much difficulty, she raised the fourth prince Yinzhen. Even the baby she had born needed an older brother to protect him.

The fourth prince Yinzhen was a perfect fit.

This time, when Imperial Noble Concubine Tong was pregnant, her mind was not as impatient as the last time. She became calmer and smarter, and knew how to analyze the pros and cons of things.

Instead of just doing things based on your mood.

She has to consider her child. She knows her own body very well and may not be able to raise the child.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen must never be separated from me.

After getting to know each other slowly, Fourth Prince Yinzhen really fell in love with the child in Imperial Concubine Tong's belly.

Life in the harem was lonely, but the Fourth Prince Yinzhen was happy to have younger brothers and sisters of his own, especially since he had grown up now and did not need to compete for favor with his younger brothers and sisters.

As long as Imperial Noble Consort Tong did not completely abandon him just because she had her own children, Fourth Prince Yinzhen could fully accept having a younger brother or sister.

The Emperor's birthday was in a month, but Imperial Noble Concubine Tong had no plans to attend. She just delivered the gift she had prepared herself in advance to Emperor Kangxi when he came to Chengqian Palace.

Kangxi has lost a lot of weight in the past few months, and he is troubled by the affairs of the court and the harem.

Especially since Imperial Concubine Tong's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and Imperial Physician Li had confirmed that it was a prince, Kangxi's mood became changeable every day.

Those who have served in the emperor's presence in the past few months have been miserable.

Others don’t know why Kangxi acted like this. Liang Jiugong knows a little bit of the inside story, but he doesn’t dare to say anything. This kind of matter can only be handled by the Emperor himself.

Otherwise, when Wansui regrets it in the future, the first person to die will be the one who started to persuade him.

Liang Jiugong also pretended to know nothing.

Every day, I served carefully and respectfully like everyone else.

As the leaves turn yellow day by day and the bright flowers gradually wither.

Imperial Noble Consort Tong launched the movement, and Concubine Yi also launched the movement at the same time.

When Kangxi heard the report from his subordinates, he rushed to Chengqian Palace.

When we arrived at Chengqian Palace, we saw another palace full of beautiful girls, some plump and some thin, each with her own charm.

Kangxi was not in a good mood at the moment. Seeing Chengqian Palace crowded with people, his face became frighteningly dark.

The concubines who were originally smiling and paying their respects now knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.

Kangxi saw that Chengqian Palace had quieted down, sat in the main seat, picked up the tea, took a sip, suppressed the rage in his heart, and glanced at the concubines lying on the ground with an uncertain look.

"Since you like kneeling, then keep kneeling until the Imperial Concubine gives birth safely."

The concubines kneeling below were dumbfounded. They just wanted to come to Chengqian Palace to see Kangxi a few more times. It would be even better if he could remember them.

Maybe I can fly back to the treetops and become a phoenix, enjoying glory for a while.

When Kangxi met them, he said nothing and made them kneel down.

The concubines of lower rank looked at the concubines with children kneeling in front of them.

They didn't do anything and immediately lost their temper. They knelt down obediently at the back, not daring to make any more small movements.

Concubine De, Uya, had just given birth to the fourteenth prince and was now in confinement, so she did not come.

Concubine Yi was giving birth to a child in her own palace.

The third prince's biological mother, Concubine Rong Ma Jia, and the eldest prince's biological mother, Concubine Hui Nara, looked at each other for a moment, and could see the bitterness in each other's eyes.

Their princes and princesses have grown up, but the Emperor doesn't even give them any respect.

Those who were even less favored, such as Concubine An Li, Concubine Jing Zhangjia, Concubine Duan Dong, and Concubine Xi Hesheli, just kept their heads down, not wanting others to see their embarrassment.

Kangxi frowned as he listened to the screams of pain coming from the room. He glanced at Rongpin and Huipin who were kneeling at his feet, and waved his hand to signal them to get up.

Kangxi was just taking his anger out on others. Normally, he was willing to give some face to the mothers of the princes.

Otherwise, it would be a slap in the faces of the princes. Kangxi is very satisfied with those who have grown up now, especially the eldest and the second oldest.

"Get up."

After Kangxi said this, he was no longer in the mood to say anything more to them.

Now his heart is all on Imperial Concubine Tong. Imperial Physician Li said that this baby might be difficult to deliver.

Kangxi's eyes were a little red. The prince's mother, Empress Xiaochengren, Hesheli, also died of dystocia. Thinking of this, Kangxi's face turned completely darker and the air pressure around him dropped by several degrees.

Now his cousin might have died in childbirth. He didn't want his cousin to give birth to a little boy in the first place, and he had no joy at all for the upcoming child.

Basins of blood were taken out from the Imperial Noble Consort's room. The face of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who was standing nearby, became more and more serious, and he turned into a moving block of ice.

He had been standing outside the room waiting, ignoring the group of concubines sitting in Chengqian Palace.

Although he didn't love Tong E'niang as wholeheartedly as before, he didn't want anything to happen to her.

Under the care of Imperial Noble Consort Tong, his life was indeed better than that of most princes in the harem.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen was still grateful to Imperial Noble Consort Tong.

In the harem, without a favored mother and without the love of the emperor, life was like walking on thin ice and it was difficult to take a single step.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen's hands gradually turned bright red, and before he knew it, his palms had been scratched.

Two hours later, news came from Concubine Yi that she had given birth to a princess. When Kangxi heard the news, he was still happy and gave her a lot of rewards.

Concubine Tong was carrying out basins of blood, but the baby had not been born yet.

Kangxi was getting impatient waiting, as in another quarter of an hour it would be time for him to attend the morning court.

When Kangxi lifted his foot and walked out of the gate of Chengqian Palace, a ray of morning light shone on the Chengqian Palace at that moment.

From inside came the surprised shouts of a little prince being born.
