The Virtuous Concubine

Seeing that Doctor Rong was so terrified that he wanted to stand up and support his master immediately, Bai Fu was scared to death.

You two lovely couple, please don't commit suicide!

She quickly pushed aside Doctor Rong who was checking her mother's pulse, and immediately supported Malu's shoulders. She glanced at Rong Ji with a warning look and said, "Doctor Rong, if you can't cure this disease, don't treat it!"

Rong Ji immediately shrank back and knelt aside swiftly.

The people around didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, the scene was quite scary at that time. It was nothing wrong for Doctor Rong, who was the closest, to react subconsciously.

After Malu recovered, he asked, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Rong. I just don't know why I fainted."

Rong Ji said solemnly, "My Lady, you are overworked, and your emotions are so volatile that your Qi and blood are a little disordered. You need to recuperate for a while, and you must not overwork or get angry anymore."

Malu sighed softly, "I know, I made you worry. Go down and rest. Bai Fu will stay and watch Doctor Rong write the prescription and boil the medicine."

Everyone left as instructed, leaving only Malu and Bai Fu in the room. Doctor Rong also went outside to write a prescription.

Malu looked at Bai Fu and asked, "What did the emperor say?"

She guessed that what Bai Xia had just hesitated to say must be this matter.

As expected, Bai Fu's face turned ugly: "Bai Xia didn't even see the emperor, she just told Liang Jiugong that the emperor is with Xian Guiren..."

As Kangxi's power grew over the years, he became less and less willing to visit the four concubines and six imperial concubines.

After all, most of the four concubines and six imperial concubines had given birth several times, and Kangxi felt that women who had given birth were definitely inferior to young girls in all aspects.

The others were childless when they were young, and it is even less likely that they will be favored when they are old.

Now the high-ranking concubines are only allowed to have meals with him occasionally for the sake of face.

On the contrary, the noble ladies, maids and concubines below him were favored a lot because of their youth and tenderness.

Only the virtuous concubine Malu and the concubine Yi, who were well-maintained and beautiful, were favored.

Kangxi even once told Rong Ruo, who was accompanying him, that women of this age should only be dignified and steady. If they lost their beauty and still spoke in a pretentious manner, it would only make people sick.

These newly-appointed nobles are often present, and most of their titles are... not very dignified.

Xian Guiren is one of them, and there are also Yu Guiren, Qi Guiren, and Se Changzai.

Compared with the titles Hui, Rong, De, Yi, Liang, etc. given in earlier years, these titles were given by Kangxi based on the appearance of these regular ladies-in-waiting.

Beautiful and graceful appearance was probably the only positioning and expectation that Kangxi had for these concubines.

Compared with the previous time when he had not yet firmly established his throne and still needed the support of the concubines' family background, he now had the support of Concubine Hui, Concubine De, Concubine Rong and others to manage the palace affairs in a stable manner.

Kangxi now only wants and needs the type of woman who can seduce men with her beauty.

The master and servant were whispering to each other when Doctor Rong came in with some medicine.

But he did not give the prescription to Bai Fu immediately. Instead, he knelt down and asked Malu if he could take her pulse again.

Seeing Bai Fu's surprised expression, Malu slowly stretched out his right hand and motioned Rong Ji to come forward.

Rong Ji also reached out and held Malu's hand, then he put his backhand around it, and after cutting less than half a cup of tea, his face was filled with joy: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."

Malu naturally knew what was going on, and nodded with a smile: "There are only some vague signs. After calculating, the time is really short, so it is uncertain. Rong Ji's pulse is good."

Bai Fu also reacted at this time, and said with a happy face: "My queen, this is really great! This is a great joyous event."

Malu smiled and said, "Don't make it public yet. We'll make plans after a few days."

Rong Ji nodded and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I will keep my mouth shut. I will also make two copies of the pulse report. I will give the real one to Miss Bai Fu. But now that Madam is pregnant, you must pay more attention to your health."

Malu nodded: "Before you said I was overworked-"

Rong Ji could hardly hold back his joy: "Fortunately, the queen is in good health. It was just that I was not very sure at the time, so I said this in front of everyone. Besides, this day..."

No matter how far back you go, this date doesn't match the day Kangxi came!

Whose else could it belong to? It's yours.

Rong Ji was so happy that he almost flew off the ground. He was a father! He was a father, and his beloved woman had conceived the child for him despite the world's disapproval!

Rong Ji was so excited that he almost went crazy. He didn't care that Bai Fu was standing beside him. He hugged Malu and shouted excitedly in a low voice: "I'm going to be a father, I'm going to be a father!"

After being with Malu, he had thought that he would never get married again in this life, let alone have children.

But he did not hesitate for too long. After all, he had Malu and the orphanage he set up for Malu.

The regrets of his first half of life had gone with the wind. He just didn't expect that God could give him such a surprise!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask Malu: "My queen...did you not take the contraceptive prescription I was given before?"

Malu blushed and bowed her head without saying a word. Seeing this, Bai Fu also smiled and quietly left the room, leaving the little mandarin ducks some space.

Seeing Bai Fu leave, Malu bit her lip lightly and whispered shyly, "I only ate the first half, and then... I didn't eat. Maybe it was that time."

In fact, Malu was secretly groaning in her heart and had begun to worry about who the father of the child was.

It is already amazing that the system can detect pregnancy, but it is a bit too difficult to detect who the father is during the embryonic period.

After all, this period of time was indeed quite chaotic... Although I had deliberately separated myself from others.

However, according to the date, it is most likely Nalan's, and there is only a small chance that it is Rong Ji's.

Rong Ji was extremely happy and felt that this was a gift from God to them.

But he was a little panicked: "The medicine I chose was very mild, so the medicinal properties were not that strong. It is normal to have omissions... But after all, it may affect the fetus. Otherwise, I will come here every day in the future-"

Malu quickly stretched out her finger and gently pressed it on his lips, interrupting his next words: "It's okay. Since you can get pregnant under such circumstances, it means that the child must be healthy. If you have your period every day, what will happen?"

Rong Ji frowned slightly, still a little worried. He gently held Malu's hand and said seriously: "No, I'm still worried. If something goes wrong, I will regret it for the rest of my life. I can come quietly and no one will find out."

Malu shook her head and said with a smile: "You, don't be too nervous. If you are too fragile, you are not worthy of being my child. Can Yonghe Palace be a place you can come to every day? If someone finds out, it will cause big trouble."

Rong Ji sighed helplessly, hugged Malu in his arms, and said softly: "Okay, then I'll listen to you, but you must take good care of yourself. If there is anything abnormal, you must send someone to the Imperial Hospital to tell me as soon as possible."
