Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

Following the sound, the Ninth Prince hurried in from outside the door. However, when he saw the anxious and busy situation in the room, he suddenly stopped and asked with some doubt:

"Prince Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, what's going on?"

Seeing that the Ninth Prince wanted him to persuade the Crown Prince, the Second Lady began to explain:

"It's just right that my ninth brother is here. Please try to persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He suddenly received a call from Xian..."

"Okay." The prince suddenly interrupted the second wife in a cold voice: "I and my ninth brother have something to say, you go back to the backyard first."

The Second Lady was startled and opened her mouth, wanting to say something. However, facing the Crown Prince's unquestionable expression, she bit her lip and bowed obediently before leaving.

The Ninth Prince heard half of what the Second Lady said, looked at the Crown Prince's red hand, then saw the cold water hurriedly brought by the servant, and the ointment brought by Wenxi from the inner room, and a gleam of light flashed quickly in his narrow eyes.

Then he lowered his head, looked at the prince's hand with concern and said:

"Brother Crown Prince, what's this with your hand?"

"Nothing, just accidentally spilled hot tea, women like to make a fuss."

The prince soaked his hands in cold water, then took them out, wiped them clean, took the plaster handed to him by Wenxi, and changed the subject while applying the ointment:

"Why are you here at this time?"

"It's good that you're alright." Ninth Prince seemed relieved, sat down on the chair skillfully, and said:

"My younger brother just heard that the girl was pregnant, so he hurried over here. The second prince should have also received the news."

The prince lowered his head and applied the medicine, then said:

"Noble Consort Xian is favored by the Emperor, so it is normal for her to be pregnant."

The Ninth Prince leaned back in his chair.

But he snorted coldly:

"That's not normal at all. She claimed that she would spend more time with the Emperor and not get pregnant, but now she is pregnant. You don't know that the Emperor almost moved his private storehouse to the Chuxiu Palace. I heard that there is no place to stand in the Chuxiu Palace now."

He said, glancing at the prince.

"Look, brother, it must be that person who feels that he has grown strong enough, so he reveals his wolfish ambitions. You have to be on guard, Prince Second Brother!"

Hearing this, the prince paused while applying the medicine, then raised his head, frowned and reprimanded:

"What do you mean by that? She is the current Imperial Noble Consort Xian, the concubine of my father. How can you call her that? If my father hears, I won't be able to save you. Besides, I am the crown prince. Even if Imperial Noble Consort Xian gives birth to a prince, it won't shake my status."

I don’t know whether the last sentence was meant to make the Ninth Prince believe it, or to make myself believe it, but it was said with extra force.

The Ninth Prince pursed his lips after hearing this, looked around, waved his hand, and the palace people retreated. Then he said:

"Brother Crown Prince, I am doing this for you. I know you are generous and magnanimous, but this time is different!"

As he spoke, he leaned forward and lowered his voice:

"The one who is pregnant this time is Imperial Noble Consort Xian. She is not like the other concubines in the harem. The Emperor has been completely bewitched by her. He made her Imperial Noble Consort even though she has no children, and announced in public that no one else will enter the harem in the future. Just think about it, when she gives birth to a prince, the Emperor will make her the Empress, and her child will be a legitimate son!"

Hearing this, the prince's expression finally changed.

Seeing this, the Ninth Prince continued to encourage:

"And Prince, second brother, have you forgotten everything our grandfather did for the fourth prince born to Concubine Dong E? As soon as he was born, our grandfather joyfully offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, accepted congratulations from all the ministers, and even issued an imperial decree announcing the birth of the first prince. He was treated like a legitimate child and even granted amnesty to the whole country. It seems that our father treats Noble Concubine Xian even better than our grandfather treated Concubine Dong E. When she has a prince, and we whisper in his ear, will our father change his ways..."

"Laojiu!"

Hearing this, the prince raised his head abruptly, his face tense and said:

"I am not the right of the Emperor to comment on this. Please don't say this anymore. I am the Crown Prince who has offered sacrifices to the Heaven and Earth and ancestors and announced it to the world. Even if the Emperor likes Imperial Concubine Xian's child, he will not mess up the rules. Besides, Imperial Concubine Xian has only been pregnant for a month, and we don't know if it's a boy or a girl. If she is born, the baby will be much younger than me. Don't worry too much."

Seeing that the Crown Prince was so stubborn, the Ninth Prince became impatient. After all, he was only eleven years old. He had followed the Crown Prince for two years and knew a little about the inside story of Shi Rongyue's sudden appointment with the Fourth Prince. He couldn't help but say:

"Brother Crown Prince, have you forgotten what Shi Rongyue did to you? Imperial Concubine Xian and she are sisters, neither of them is a good person..."

"Shut up."

When his scar was suddenly revealed, the prince's peach blossom eyes were filled with anger.

The Ninth Prince was startled, and before he could say anything, the Crown Prince tightly grasped the burn ointment and said coldly:

"Ninth brother, I know you mean well, but I want to remind you that Imperial Concubine Xian is different from others. If you do something you shouldn't do and are discovered by the Emperor, even if you are a prince, the Emperor will not let you off easily."

After saying this, the prince said expressionlessly:

"Wenxi, see the guests off."

Wenxi came out from behind and made a gesture of invitation to the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince looked unhappy. He didn't expect that the prince would react so violently just by mentioning Shi Rongyue. He had to get up and leave.

After leaving the door, a sinister look flashed across the Ninth Prince's narrow eyes. He was so indecisive for a woman who trampled on him.

Humph, if you don’t take action, I don’t believe Hesheli can sit still.

After the Ninth Prince left, the room became quiet. The Crown Prince sat alone on a chair, staring at his hands in a daze.

If he and Shi Rongyue had successfully married and had a child, would he have had a good relationship with the Emperor and Consort Xian? If he had a child, he would be as happy as the Emperor and would want to give her everything.

Thinking of this, the corners of the prince's mouth subconsciously rose, but the next moment, he came to his senses and his face suddenly became gloomy. What was he thinking? Although Shi Rongyue and Imperial Concubine Xian were sisters, she didn't like him and she hated him.

Yongshou Palace

After receiving the news, Concubine Nianhulu did not smash things in anger this time. Instead, she looked at Nanny Qin quietly, with madness suppressed in her eyes.

"Have you found the person I asked you to find?"

Nanny Qin shuddered.

Quickly reply:

"My lady, we found one. He looks 50% like Empress Yuan, and 70% like her in dress and appearance."

"Okay." A cold light flashed in Concubine Nianhulu's eyes, and she immediately waved her hand and said, "Come here..." No one noticed that a figure flashed past the window at this moment.

On the other hand, unlike others who were shocked and fearful when they heard that Shi Nanxi was pregnant, Shi Rongyue simply locked herself in the house.

"Shi Nanxi is actually pregnant. She is pregnant. Things are different again. History is becoming more and more different. Will the Fourth Prince still be able to ascend the throne in the future?"

"No, that won't happen. Even if Shi Nanxi gave birth to a prince, there would be a huge age difference between her and the Fourth Prince, and I have the eldest grandson of the Emperor."

"Yes, the eldest grandson. I still have an eldest grandson. I didn't lose. I remembered that a TV show said that Kangxi passed the throne to the fourth prince because his grandson Hongli was so outstanding. I don't believe that my Hongan is not as good as Hongli."

The door that had been closed for a long time opened, and Shi Rongyue ordered in a hoarse voice:

"Someone, come here, I want to give Hongan enlightenment."

……

No matter what undercurrents there were outside after the news of Shi Nanxi's pregnancy spread, Chuxiu Palace was peaceful and warm.

"Are you vomiting again today? Is your child well behaved?"

Kangxi gently hugged Shi Nanxi from behind, put one hand on her belly, and asked softly.
