The Virtuous Concubine

After hearing what his father said, Rong Ruo said in a deep voice: "Father, this is unfair to Lu. She is so innocent to be dragged into this complicated situation."

In fact, he didn't really care about this, he was just afraid that Malu would get angry again after knowing it.

He subconsciously felt that Malu cared a lot about other women, so he didn't want to argue with her about this.

Mingzhu was simply disappointed with her husband. It would have been fine if he had just indulged in love, but at least he had managed to get close to Concubine De.

How can he still be so soft-hearted?! He didn't even blink an eye at the heinous crime of confiscating the property and beheading, but when it comes to hurting other women, he is so timid?

Mingzhu really wanted to scold his son, but he was so angry that he had no strength left. He could only suppress his anger and patiently explained: "I also understand that this move is inappropriate, but the current situation does not allow us to delay. As for the Lu family, if there is a chance in the future, we will make up for it."

Rong Ruo remained silent, feeling extremely conflicted.

My father was afraid of my mother, so he didn't take a concubine. He was also afraid of Malu! He had just agreed to marry her, but there was not even a female bird in his yard... But he still wanted to get married?

It would be better for me to hide in the palace for the rest of my life.

But now that I have a child, I can’t do things the same as before... Moreover, if I want to take the child out to raise him like the eldest prince, there must be a mistress at home.

Prime Minister Ming didn't care about him and just said that Concubine De would be left to you to appease, and then he drove Rong Ruo away.

The servant at the door asked timidly: "Master...are you going back to the woodshed?"

Rong Ruo frowned, raised his foot and kicked the boy, and said in a deep voice: "Go back to my own yard."

The servant nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, young master." Then he followed Rong Ruo carefully.

Rong Ruo walked along the way, feeling very happy.

My father finally agreed and even supported me!

Rong Ruo walked briskly, as if there was wind under his feet. He began to think about the next plan in his mind. Now that his father was on his side, many things could be carried out more smoothly.

He returned to his room and sat on a chair, his face still filled with a happy smile. He wanted to tell Malu the good news as soon as possible so that she could feel at ease.

Of course, Malu didn't know that the Nalan family had already set their sights on the entire Yonghe Palace.

At this moment, everyone was racking their brains to think of ways to try to get her and Jingyi to eat more.

The servants brought in plates of exquisite dishes, but Malu and Jingyi still had no appetite when looking at the food, not to mention some of the dishes, which made them want to vomit as soon as they smelled them.

Rong Ji was naturally the most anxious. He spent all day looking through medical books and asking old women and wet nurses who were experienced in midwifery to see if there were any folk remedies.

There were several blisters on the corners of her mouth, which made Malu feel distressed. She secretly decided that after giving birth to this child, she would find an opportunity to give birth to another one for Rong Ji.

Rong Ji is so handsome, it would be nice to have a little princess who looks like him... Then I will find a way to let her marry in the capital.

Jingyi didn't feel sick, she just had no appetite and didn't want to eat. When she saw that Malu couldn't eat, she was even less willing to eat.

In her opinion, how could the master not eat, but the servants enjoy the food? So she also did not eat.

But in the eyes of the imperial physician, this is the appearance of a male fetus. From experience, most women who are pregnant with boys will react more strongly.

When the news reached the emperor, Kangxi was naturally overjoyed. Two more sons!

The concubines were also extremely envious and jealous.

It's fine if Concubine De is able to give birth herself, but the ones in her own palace are also able to give birth! If there are really two more princes, then there will be four princes in Yonghe Palace.

Ming Xiang and Rong Ruo were overjoyed when they heard the news from Doctor Gu.

His first grandson, the hereditary prince! Recently, Ming Xiang has been smiling when facing his mortal enemy, Suo Etu.

So what if you have a crown prince? Crown Prince Yinreng's biological mother, Empress Hesheli, was Soetu's niece, so Soetu was the crown prince Yinreng's great uncle.

How distant a relative is this? Not even close!

The Defei was pregnant with her eldest son and grandson. Ming Xiang was so excited that he couldn't wait for the final blood test and was happy in advance.

But everyone was happy, except Kangxi, who had some secret worries in his heart.

Naturally, this worry cannot be told to outsiders, but it is extremely important to him.

He seemed to feel that he was getting faster and faster recently.

I didn't feel it before, but it was especially obvious today. At night, Kangxi wanted to relax, so he summoned Yu Guiren.

This Concubine Yu had a body as white as ice and as smooth as jade, and her skin was so white that it seemed to be as smooth as jade, so Kangxi gave her the title of Yu.

Normally, Kangxi would do this two or three times, but today, it only happened once.

Moreover, in the past, the eunuchs outside would have to call the doorman two or three times before stopping. Now, he thinks he can call it a day when he didn’t even call the doorman the first time?!

Looking at Concubine Yu who had not yet started to breathe, Kangxi felt a little embarrassed.

He wanted to say a few words to Concubine Yu, either to ease his embarrassment or to explain that he was not in a good mood today.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Yu didn't react and even urged him? In fact, Concubine Yu just did a normal action.

In a rage and humiliation, he pushed Concubine Yu away, and Concubine Yu rolled off the bed and fell to the ground, not knowing what had happened.

Kangxi stripped her of her title and demoted her to a concubine on the grounds of misbehavior in front of the emperor.

It must be because she didn't serve him well!

When Kangxi was furious, everyone in the Qianqing Palace was trembling with fear and dared not speak.

After tossing and turning all night, Kangxi summoned the imperial physician and asked him questions in a veiled manner for a long time. Finally, he concluded that he was in good health and had no hidden illness.

Kangxi was a little confused for a moment, not knowing whether he should be happy that he was in good health or feel depressed that he was getting old. . .

After all, judging from the conclusion of the imperial physician, this is a natural change that cannot be stopped by human power.

Kangxi paced alone in the imperial study and decided to find another imperial physician to see him.

He just felt that he had contributed too much to the country and the people over the years, which led to his current situation.

Finally, he called Liang Jiugong and ordered, "Pass on my order and ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some nourishing and healthy meals. From today on, I will start to take care of my body."

Liang Jiugong naturally agreed and quickly ran to the imperial kitchen to give orders.

The people in the imperial kitchen had been managed by Malu for a long time, and they also adopted some of the Yonghe Palace's style of doing things.

With the attitude of "Although I don't know what the master is talking about, since both Concubine Defei and the Emperor have asked me to preserve his health, then I should do so", he worked even harder to study those dishes that would make Kangxi feel energetic but powerless after eating them.

The more Kangxi tried to maintain his health, the worse he became. The worse he became, the more irritable he became, and the more he tried to maintain his health, thus falling into a vicious cycle.

When he began to suspect that the children of the two concubines in Yonghe Palace might be his last children, Concubine Yi and Noblewoman Guo Luoluo of Yikun Palace both gave birth prematurely.

Concubine Yi gave birth to a stillborn baby who was supposed to be the eleventh prince, while Concubine Guo Luoluo gave birth to a twelfth prince who was born with congenital defects.
