"The Empress can't think about it all during the confinement period now. If the confinement period is not done well, it will hurt your body!" Liu Xu said as she carefully tidied up the quilt, and then she stood up satisfied: "I just ordered the kitchen to stew the soup for the Empress for the empress, but I don't know if it's done! I'll go and take a look..." After that, she got up and left.

Duan Yunfang looked at Liu Xu's back and looked at the top of the bed. It seemed that she had another idea in her heart. She had always been a person with ambition. How could she tolerate Liu Shishi riding on her head? Now she realized that she seemed harmless but did not expect that she was the one who was the most scheming. Unexpectedly, she stabbed a knife so deeply in her back. She was so powerful that she was so powerful that she was so forced to death. Liu Shishi, whoever was afraid of death would be able to see who was capable of...

Duan Yunfang thought of this and showed a strange smile on her face. She was not the one who sat and waited for death. Without Nalan Yaoyao, Liu Shishi could not even be considered dust in her eyes...

"Empress, I heard that Concubine Yun gave birth to a prince..." Hongmei, the palace maid who was serving Liu Shishi, came to her with a soup and said gossip. After hearing this, Liu Shishi just smiled: "Oh, have you given birth to a prince? Then I really have to congratulate you..."

"I heard that many noble people in the palace have prepared gifts to send them..." Hongmei put away the cup: "The Queen Mother was very happy to learn that Concubine Yun gave birth to a prince. She gave her many valuable items. Empress Dowager, do you think we want to give it?"

"Since you said that there are gifts from each palace, can we pull it down?" Liu Shishi curled her lips: "You go to the warehouse to choose a few good items, and I'll send them with me later..."

"Yes, Empress..." Hongmei stepped down respectfully after hearing this.

"By the way, take out the pigeon blood that Concubine Yun gave last time..." Liu Shishi suddenly thought that the pigeon blood she mentioned last time was given by the Empress Dowager, and she never found a suitable excuse to return it to her. Now she gave herself a very good reason, and thought about it, so she ordered the palace maid to take it out and return it back.

"Yes, Empress..." Hongmei took the order and stepped out. At this time, the wet nurse walked in with the eldest princess: "I bow to Empress..."

"Get up and talk..." Liu Shishi said absent-mindedly. She glanced at the eldest princess in the wet nurse's arms: "There's nothing wrong with the princess, right?"

"Grandma, I have been serving you very carefully. The eldest princess is also a well-behaved child. She doesn't cry or make a fuss, and she is very easy to take care of..." The wet nurse hurriedly knelt down and replied to Liu Shishi's words. After hearing this, Liu Shishi nodded: "Don't blame me for reminding you several times that the princess is the emperor's heart. If you serve the princess, your life will be easier. But if you are negligent, you don't need to explain that you know the outcome, right?"

"I remember the teachings of the Empress..."

"Just remember..." Liu Shishi glanced at the wet nurse kneeling on the ground: "Okay, take the princess down!"

"Yes..." The wet nurse stepped down carefully.

After leaving Liu Shishi's palace, a young palace maid who had been following the wet nurse asked her in a low voice: "Madam, why do you think the empress is so indifferent to the princess?"

"Shh..." The wet nurse was almost scared when she heard this. She hurriedly looked around carefully and confirmed that no one eavesdropped on their conversation before she said a little blame: "You girl, you can't stop talking. If others listen, can your and my head still be on your neck?" After that, she looked around vigilantly.

"But nanny, Dong'er just felt very strange..." Dong'er, who was scolded by nanny, felt a little aggrieved: "Isn't the eldest princess born of the imperial concubine for ten months? But why is she very unwilling to get close to the princess? It was only when the emperor came that he was willing to hold her for a while. As soon as the emperor left, she immediately asked the nanny to carry the princess away. Dong'er just felt very strange..."

After hearing Dong'er's words, the wet nurse felt very strange. She hugged the eldest princess and returned to the room and said to herself: "Is there anything strange about this harem? It's just that the eldest princess is now getting the holy favor, but I don't seem to be happy to see the queen..."

"Dong'er also feels like this. The princess is still young, but the queen doesn't seem to want to get close to her at all. It's really strange..."

"How can the matter in this harem be calculated according to common sense?" The wet nurse looked around carefully: "Don't blame the nanny for reminding you that this harem is a place where people eat and don't spit bones. You have to be careful..."

When Dong'er heard this, he hurriedly covered her little mouth and nodded later: "Dong'er has written it down..."

"Okay, go get some silver carbon. The princess can't be frozen, otherwise we can't eat it and leave..." The wet nurse glanced at the charcoal fire in the charcoal brazier and ordered Dong'er. Dong'er nodded and went to get some silver carbon back.

"Empress, the Imperial Concubine is here to see you in person..." Liu Xu came to the bed and said in a low voice to Duan Yunfang who was still resting in bed. Duan Yunfang was pretending to sleep. When he heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked Liu Xu to help him sit up. At that time, Liu Shishi brought Hongmei and several palace maids in.

"Sister..." Duan Yunfang looked at Liu Shishi walking in, and was about to get out of bed and salute. However, Liu Shishi hurriedly stopped him: "Sister has just given birth and can't get out of the ground and get angry? What if he hurts his body?" As he said that, he sat on the edge of the bed with a happy look on his face: "I heard that my sister gave birth to a prince, but I was really happy. Our emperor finally had an heir, but unlike my sister, I gave birth to a girl in a bad stomach..." After saying that, he laughed.

"Sister is joking..." Duan Yunfang looked at Liu Shishi with some envy: "Although my sister gave birth to a princess, she grabbed the emperor's heart. It's not like my sister that the emperor has never come to see her until now..." After saying that, her eyes gradually turned red.

When Liu Shishi heard this, she patted her hand: "Don't blame the emperor. Recently, the busy affairs in the court have rarely seen him come to the harem. Even the number of times he saw the princess has been seen much less. We should understand more as his women..."

Duan Yunfang just smiled indifferently and silently. But she felt extremely unhappy. Every time the emperor arrived in the harem, she would occupy the emperor with the eldest princess, which had already caused dissatisfaction among the people in the harem. Now that she had given birth to a son, she used this to block her mouth. Damn, her hands were tightly held under the quilt. Duan Yunfang's lungs were almost pissed off at this moment...

"By the way, let's not talk about this for now. I have sent you some gifts..." Liu Shishi said, and asked Hongmei to bring the thing over: "This pigeon blood was given to my sister last time, but my sister really didn't need it. What's more, it was given by the empress dowager, so it was a bit inappropriate for my sister. Now the thing is the original owner..." As she said that, she handed the pigeon blood to Duan Yunfang.

Duan Yunfang saw it and quickly refused: "What does sister mean? Do you still dislike the bad things I gave?"

"Where can it be? It is because it is too expensive that my sister dare not take it..." Liu Shishi returned the pigeon blood and then picked up a box from Hongmei's hand: "This pair of cloisonné hair accessories was given to my sister by the emperor, but the color was too bright and it was very uncomfortable for me. I saw that my sister looked beautiful and matched it very well with this headdress, so I gave it to my sister..."

"This is not something that can be done. Since it is given by the emperor, how dare I take my sister?" Duan Yunfang refused when she heard this. Liu Shishi laughed and pushed the box to her: "Since the emperor has given it to me, it means that I can control its whereabouts at will. Now I give it to you, there is a good place, right? It's better than putting it in the warehouse and getting dusted..."

"Since my sister said that, I'll accept it..." Duan Yunfang couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it. Then Liu Shishi opened another box: "I actually don't have any valuable items, but it was good for the emperor to give me a piece of jade before. I thought I could create a few jade ornaments for the little prince..." After that, he handed a whole piece of Hetian jade as big as an adult's palm to Duan Yunfang.

Duan Yunfang looked at the jade carefully and saw that its surface was oily and smooth, with a warm light. It seemed faintly transparent to the light, just like its name. It was a top-notch mutton fat jade. When Liu Shishi took it out, Duan Yunfang saw at a glance that the jade was of great value. Unexpectedly, this woman was willing to take action...

"This jade seems too expensive, sister..." Duan Yunfang still refused to let go.

"Look at what my sister said. When I first entered the palace, my sister was always taking care of my sister. My sister always remembered this friendship. What's more, this is a gift from my sister to the prince. How can you refuse?" Liu Shishi said while pushing the box containing Hetian jade to Duan Yunfang: "How can gifts be divided into high and low? Friendship is the most important, right?"

"Empress Yun, you can't refuse the Concubine's wishes, just accept them..." Hongmei, who was standing beside her, interrupted at the right time. Liu Shishi nodded after hearing this: "Yes, Hongmei is right. This is my wishes, you can't refuse..." As she said that, she pushed the thing in front of her.

"This, my sister accepted it..." Duan Yunfang refused several times and had to accept it. After seeing it, Liu Shishi smiled and opened the remaining boxes. It was nothing more than some top-quality bird's nests, abalone and other supplements, as well as some other cloths. A lot of gifts were really given...

"My sister has just given birth, so I guess she is very tired. I won't bother you anymore. I'd better take a break quickly..." Liu Shishi unfolded the gifts one by one for Duan Yunfang, and then stood up and said goodbye as she was late.

"Liu Xu, you see the Empress off for me..." Duan Yunfang hurriedly called Liu Xu. When Liu Shishi was about to leave, she asked inadvertently: "Sister, where is the maid who has been following you? Why didn't you see it?"

When Liu Shishi heard this, she turned around with a smile: "Last time I took her out of the palace to ask for medicine, but I didn't expect to get a good marriage for her. Now that she is married, how can I bring her back? It's better to give her freedom to live a life of taking care of her husband and children..."

"Sister is really kind-hearted. If it were a sister, she would definitely be reluctant to leave. After all, it is more comfortable to serve a maid who is familiar with her habits..."
