"Although the imperial concubine is favored and has given birth to many princes and princesses for the emperor, she is born in Baoyi after all. We have been in the Qing Dynasty for many years, but there has never been a precedent of Baoyi as the queen. Will there be any in this palace in the future?

Look at the excitement, sister, it seems it’s time for us to visit Concubine Yu!” Concubine Ying pointed out. [-]

"Sister is absolutely right!" Concubine Yu nodded and said with a smile.

This time, Concubine Ying and Concubine Yu did not accompany the emperor on his southern tour. The two people who originally wanted to join forces became very close during their stay in the palace. Now that the empress is gone, they who were once attached to the empress must be even more cautious in order to do so.

Build a better future for yourself.

It is only natural for Concubine Yu to have such thoughts now. However, since she is not liked by the emperor at all, it is very difficult for her to go further.

In September, the emperor returned to the Old Summer Palace from Mulan Paddock. In the evening of that day, the emperor went to Changchun Garden to dine with the Queen Mother, and the concubines in the harem also went to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

"The body of the Ai family is getting worse day by day. We can no longer go to this paddock. With you accompanying the emperor, the Ai family is relieved!" The Queen Mother glanced at the concubines, with a loving smile on her face, and passed by the Queen Mother.

After the accident, the Queen Mother seemed to have aged much suddenly, and her body was not as good as before. She would no longer interfere in the affairs of the harem, and would rest in her own palace every day.

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother, the sisters are all smart and smart. They will serve the Emperor well and do their best to share the worries of the Queen Mother and the Emperor." Concubine Yu said with a smile.

"Concubine Yu has been serving the emperor for many years. The Ai family can rest assured!" The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Yu who was sitting in the first place on the right, and the smile in her eyes deepened. She loves the house very much. The fifth elder brother has always been filial, and now he is the most outstanding among the princes.

, the Queen Mother has always been kind to Concubine Yu for the sake of her fifth elder brother.

When Concubine Yu heard what the Queen Mother said, she was about to say something, but unexpectedly the Emperor turned back to look at the Queen Mother and said with a soft smile: "Empress, how are you these days?"

"The Ai family is in good health, so the Emperor need not worry." The smile on the Queen Mother's face deepened.

Watching the emperor talking to the queen mother, and Concubine Yu interjecting from time to time, Wei Ning'er's face remained calm, as if she didn't notice the slightly probing eyes of others, and was focused on the three children beside her.

The Seventh Princess, the Ninth Princess and the Fifteenth Brother were very well-behaved in front of everyone and were not as impudent as they were in Zuixin Garden. After they had finished their meal, Wei Ning'er ordered Qingyan and Xiao Yizi to take them back to Zuixin Garden.

"Ning'er!" Seeing the children leaving, Lu Yunxi, who was sitting next to Wei Ning'er, winked at her and looked up.

Wei Ning'er understood and glanced at everyone calmly, a sneer gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Things in the palace were changing rapidly. During the southern tour, she was so sad because of the death of her sixteenth brother that she did not notice everything around her. It was not until she returned to the palace that she slowly realized that something was wrong with Lu Yunxi and Concubine Yu.

Then she discovered that Concubine Yu had gradually alienated herself and Lu Yunxi. Although she didn't know the reason, she never asked.

Now all this is even more obvious. Lu Yunxi still treats her as usual, and Concubine Yu is very polite to the concubines in the palace these days and spends generous amounts. Her intention to win over the concubines in the harem is obvious.

Wei Ning'er's heart was not as calm as her face. She asked herself that she had never treated Concubine Yu badly over the years and respected Concubine Yu very much. She never thought that Concubine Yu had other thoughts today. How could she feel better?

Just when Wei Ning'er was deep in thought, Concubine Ying on the side smiled and said: "Sister Yu Fei is the eldest among our sisters. She has served the emperor for many years without making any mistakes. I have always admired my sister, and I will treat her more in the future."

Guidance!"

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has to take care of the princess and the prince, as well as take care of all the affairs in the harem. I see that the Imperial Concubine has been reduced in number these days. Why doesn't Your Majesty make Yu Fei's sister a noble concubine and help the Imperial Concubine take care of the harem!"

Concubine Yu's words were much more straightforward than Concubine Ying's.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has worked hard, and she needs someone to share her worries!" Concubine Ying also smiled quickly.

Concubine Ying and Concubine Yu, who had been trying to please Concubine Yu with other thoughts these days, were quite popular with the emperor on their own in Mulan Paddock, and they spoke much more boldly.

When the emperor heard this, he didn't say anything, but his expression changed slightly, and then returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has managed the harem in an orderly manner, which is in line with the emperor's wishes. I and the others are also convinced. It is said that those who can do more work, I think, the empress will definitely not disappoint the emperor!" Lu Yunxi smiled respectfully!

road.

"What Sister Qing Fei said is absolutely true. Not only did the imperial concubine manage the harem well, she also taught the princes and princesses to be outstanding and all of them were lovable!" Concubine Shu also said with a smile.

Didn't the Queen Mother and the Emperor realize what everyone was thinking, and neither of them said a word for a while. The Queen Mother was already old, and she no longer wanted to deal with the affairs of the harem. As for the Emperor... How could he tolerate other concubines as he originally preferred Wei Ning'er?

Fei An was not interested in trying to trick Wei Ning'er, and her face became increasingly gloomy. Seeing that the situation was not right, everyone was silent for a while.

"Your Majesty, I have been weak these days, and my children love to toss. I am really overwhelmed. I am lucky to have sister Yu Fei to help me!" Wei Ning'er stood up and smiled, then looked at Yu Fei and said

: "Sister, I am pregnant now and need to rest. I will have to worry about my harem for a long time!"

"She's pregnant!" After hearing this, the Queen Mother, who was watching all this with cold eyes, beamed with joy: "Is the Imperial Concubine pregnant?"

"To inform the Queen Mother, my concubine is nearly three months pregnant. I just came to pay my respects to the Queen. I informed the imperial doctor that the child is now healthy. Please rest assured, the Queen Mother and the Emperor!" Wei Ning'er said with a respectful smile.

"I have a child again, so... great!" The emperor had just been stunned by the sudden surprise. When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and cheered repeatedly.

"Ning'er, let me see what's wrong with you? Someone, hurry up and call the imperial doctor!" The emperor walked quickly to Wei Ning'er, no longer caring about so many rules, and held her hand tightly, a little nervous.

Talking incoherently.

The Queen Mother was also very excited and asked people to invite the imperial doctor and reward her. The hall was filled with excitement for a while.

Concubine Yu's face became increasingly ugly. Although she got her wish and got the right to temporarily manage the harem, what's the point of all this now? Her status has still not been promoted. She knew that if the imperial concubine had spoken kindly in front of the emperor just now,

With one sentence, the matter was settled, but at the critical moment, the imperial concubine revealed that she was pregnant, which diverted everyone's attention. It was obvious that the imperial concubine did not want her to be promoted.

Seeing the excited emperor and queen mother, no matter how uncomfortable she felt, she had to force herself to go up and congratulate them. The same was true for Concubine Ying and Concubine Yu.

They have always longed for a child. Although they are not as favored as Wei Ning'er in recent years, they have been favored occasionally, but their stomachs have never been moved. This has always been the biggest regret in their hearts. They thought there was no hope anymore, but Wei Ning'er and these

Years are born one after another, making the two of them envious and jealous but helpless.

…

After the pregnancy was made public, Wei Ning'er really never interfered with the affairs of the harem and left everything to Concubine Yu, which made Lu Yunxi a little worried.

"Ning'er, Concubine Yu is not of the same mind as us, you have to be on guard against her!" Lu Yunxi said solemnly.

"No need, let her go. My children are all young now, and none of them can compete with the fifth elder brother. To be disrespectful, if the emperor is good or bad one day, the fifth elder brother will definitely inherit the throne.

, Concubine Yu will reach the sky in one step. For future plans, we don’t have to worry about her at this time, just take it one step at a time!" Wei Ning'er said with a soft smile.

"We were really kind to her in vain all those years, and she didn't even think about it. Without you to protect her, would she be able to raise Yongqi safely? I'm afraid that the queen's murderous hand had already been ruined, and now she is still with her

It's really abominable that you are fighting for the power of the harem!" Lu Yunxi felt a little resentful towards Concubine Yu. In her opinion, as long as the fifth elder brother aspired to the throne, Concubine Yu would rise to the top in one step. In this case, why should she come to fight with her now?

Wei Ning'er is grabbing it.

"The harem will never be peaceful. Without the threat of the queen, there will be other threats. I really don't know when it will be over. Now I just need to worry about raising the baby. Sister, Yongxuan and Yongxuan are grown, don't worry about it.

, Yongyan, Ruoshui, and Ruoyao really want you to worry more, sister!" Wei Ning'er held Lu Yunxi's hand and smiled.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of them!" Over the years, she has long regarded Wei Ning'er's children as her own. Even if Wei Ning'er didn't say anything, she would take good care of them.

Concubine Yu also assisted in managing the harem many years ago, and she was able to do many things easily, but she always felt a little uneasy. In addition, she had not been promoted to a higher position, so she always felt a knot in her heart, and she couldn't get excited for several days in a row.

Come.

"Your Majesty, I just came to report that my fifth elder brother is ill." Chun Xu entered the palace and whispered in Concubine Yu's ear.

"I'm sick. No wonder he hasn't paid my respects to me these days. Chunxu, what's wrong with me? Is it serious?" Concubine Yu's heart suddenly rose to her throat.

"I'm reporting to you, your Majesty, I said it's a sore on the bone." Chun Xu reported quickly.

"Osteoarthritis, what does the imperial doctor say?" Concubine Yu didn't know anything about these diseases.

"I'm reporting to you, the imperial doctor said that bone sores are a disease that can be cured by treatment. Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much." Seeing that Concubine Yu was in a hurry, Chunxu immediately told Yu what she had heard from the eunuch who came to report the news.

concubine.

"Go and send the imperial doctor over, I will ask you carefully!" Concubine Yu was worried. As long as it concerned Yongqi, she would not be vague at all.

After being summoned by Concubine Yu, Imperial Physician Li did not dare to show any hesitation and immediately rushed to Concubine Yu's Yanxia Tower to see her.
