The news that Duan Jing was pregnant surprised all the princes and princesses present.

The three princes were shocked that Duan Jing didn't even know she was pregnant, and expressed strong concern about why Duan Jing was still traveling while pregnant.

As for the princesses, Chunxi and Rongxian, who had childbirth experience, looked at each other silently and lowered their heads guiltily.

In fact, it cannot be blamed on them for not noticing it. After all, they gave birth several years ago.

Chunxi has only one son, Selennamuzar, who is eight years old this year. Rongxian also has a son, who is five years old and almost six years old this year, named Linbu.

When they became pregnant and gave birth, that was at least six or seven years ago. How could one tell that Duan Jing was pregnant based on her slight reaction?

Besides, Duan Jing, the pregnant woman, didn’t even realize she was pregnant. Even if they had some feeling, they couldn’t think of her being pregnant when they saw Duan Jing riding a horse faster than anyone else.

If Duan Jing hadn't suddenly felt unwell today, they might have returned to Beijing and entered the palace. It would have taken some time for them to find out the truth after Duan Jing became pregnant.

In response, Chunxi and Rongxian lowered their heads silently, not daring to speak at all.

But they didn't dare to speak, but Ke Jing and Wen Xian came over and stared at Duan Jing's belly with curiosity, and said in amazement: "Is there really a baby in Third Sister's belly?"

Wen Xian's hands were itching to move, and she wanted to touch her third sister's belly.

But looking at her third sister who had not yet come to her senses, she forced herself to hold back.

Duan Jing really couldn't react at this moment. She really didn't expect that she would be pregnant.

She got married at the age of 20 and is now nearly 27 years old. She has been married for seven years and there has been no news of pregnancy. How come she suddenly has a child now when she is busy working on her career with her sisters?

Duan Jing held her stomach and felt a little headache.

Almost three months pregnant? Let her think about it...

If I had known this more than two months ago, I would not have allowed the prince consort to live in the princess’s mansion!

When Duan Jing thought about having to get pregnant, give birth, and recuperate after the baby is born, and that she wouldn't be able to work with her sisters for nearly a year, her eyes became wet and she wanted to cry.

Really, she wanted to have a child in the past few years, but the child didn’t come. But now that she didn’t want it anymore, the child came.

But she was so angry!

Duan Jing was no longer angry, her face was no longer pale, her hands and feet had strength again, and her whole body suddenly became energetic and she no longer felt uncomfortable at all.

She waved her hand and called out to the brothers and sisters present, "Let's go back to the palace!"

No matter how angry you are, you still have to take good care of your children.

Duan Jing calmed down her surging emotions and just thought that after returning to the palace, she would have to ask the imperial physician to take a good look at her body to make sure there was nothing wrong with her body.

Otherwise, how can I have children? How can I pursue my career?

She also wants to participate in her sisters' construction plans for Mongolia.

After making up their minds, Duan Jing gave everyone direct orders to get on the road, and as soon as the carriage started moving, they headed for the palace.

紫禁城

The Cining Palace was unusually bustling with activity. Empress Tong Jia, along with two imperial concubines and several other concubines, chatted and laughed with the Empress Dowager. From time to time, they looked outside, hoping that someone would come.

Several princes who were on leave today were also there. They not caring about their image and trying to make the Empress Dowager and the Queen happy, dressing up in colorful clothes and entertaining their parents, having a lot of fun.

Yinzhen sat next to Concubine Yi and Concubine He, holding his face with curiosity and anticipation, "Mother, Aunt, when will Sister Kejing and the others arrive?"

Hefei was Concubine Yi's elder sister, so Concubine Yi's children habitually called her aunt, just as Kejing also habitually called Concubine Yi aunt.

Hearing Yinzhen's question, He Fei smiled and said, "Your ninth brother has gone to pick her up. I think she will be here soon."

Concubine Yi glared at Yinzhen with disdain and gently scolded him, "Sit well, sit upright, stop imitating your ninth brother's nonsense, learn more about your fifth brother's good manners."

They don't know how to sit or stand properly. Sometimes Concubine Yi is too lazy to say anything to these two brats.

After being lectured by his own mother, Yinzhen couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Mother, don't just look at how Fifth Brother behaves in front of you. In front of us, he is so wild and unruly. His manners are even worse than ours!"

Taking advantage of the fact that his fifth brother was not present, Yinzhen unceremoniously tarnished his image.

But unfortunately, Concubine Yi didn't believe what he said, and even said bluntly: "Then I don't care how he behaves in front of you. Anyway, he stands tall and straight in front of me, sitting upright, unlike you two. I can't bear to watch."

Concubine Yi's disdain was obvious. She had only one thought: just don't let her see it. You can stand or sit however you like outside since she can't see you anyway. But it's better to pretend in front of her, otherwise she sometimes really feels itchy.

In response, Yinzhen said: "Mother, this is not good. No matter how good we pretend to be in front of you, it is still an act."

Concubine Yi pulled the corner of her mouth and showed a polite smile, "I take care of you."

Ever since Yinzhen's health became better and better and he seemed to be more and more annoying, Concubine Yi's attitude towards this youngest son gradually developed towards "Why did I give birth to such a bad boy?"

If beating children was not prohibited in the Yiku Palace, Yinzhen would have been beaten every day, once a day, without any mercy.

This is for Concubine Yi. Sometimes she really doesn't want to see this bastard little son.

... ... The second son doesn't want to see it either, the same bastard.

Concubine Yi often sighed, wondering if she didn’t know how to raise her son?

Otherwise, why isn't Xiaowu Yinqi such a bastard even though he is also her son?

This really made Concubine Yi feel a little frustrated, but after she took a closer look at the other princes in the palace, she regained her confidence.

Because she discovered that her son was not the only bastard. The sons of Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong were no worse.

Later, she saw the emperor's various outrageous actions, and then she realized that maybe this had nothing to do with them, the mothers, but was because the emperor, as the Khan, did not set a good example, as the saying goes "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked."

But she didn't dare say this to anyone. She was afraid that if she did, the emperor would get angry and demote her from the position of concubine. That would be the end of her.

So although Concubine Yi had a lot to say, she actually didn't say a word.

However, she followed the example of Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong and set up a small Buddhist temple in her own Yiku Palace. She would go in to worship Buddha whenever she had time, so as to calm her mind.

Hui Yirong: Amitabha——I am really impressed...
