You cause trouble and I collect your body, the little emperor’s aunt abuses the scumbag again

"of course it's true."

Lady Wang spoke with great conviction, "I've heard that the imperial physicians have already taken her pulse, and this pregnancy is definitely going to be a boy."

Several ladies' eyes lit up. "She actually managed to give birth to a son in one go! Her Majesty the Empress is truly amazing."

The princess was too young, so they believed it must be the Empress's doing.

There really was a secret formula for conceiving a child! Tang Xinxin's fingernails were almost digging into her palms. She couldn't understand why Yu Xiaoran hadn't told her. She had clearly expressed her strong desire for a child, but they...

Could it be that she's afraid I'll seize the family fortune? Although she might have that thought, isn't the Empress already rich? Giving her even a little bit would be a fortune that others could never obtain in a lifetime.

"Madam Yu, you are acquainted with Madam Nangong. Have you ever seen the secret formula for conceiving a child?"

Tang Xinxin was surprised to be dragged into this again. She quickly and awkwardly shook her head, "I don't know!"

She'd never seen any fertility secrets before. When she got back tonight, she'd definitely ask Lord Yu why he wouldn't let her see such a wonderful thing.

"That's a real shame, but I've heard that this secret formula for conceiving a child requires many precious medicinal herbs, many of which are extremely rare and hard to come by. They're quite valuable."

"Oh dear, people like us don't care about that little bit of silver. If we could really have a boy, I would be happy to give him thousands of taels of silver, or even thousands of taels of gold."

"That's true, but a son is priceless."

"Priceless?" Tang Xinxin kept these four words in mind. If she could obtain the secret to having a child, wouldn't that be...?

The ladies started talking about things in the capital again. Tang Xinxin had just arrived and knew nothing about these things. In addition, no one seemed interested in talking to her. Feeling bored, Tang Xinxin quietly got up and went out.

The ladies were chatting enthusiastically and didn't notice that someone was missing from their vicinity.

Stepping out of the hall, one is greeted by a rich floral fragrance. The surrounding scenery is picturesque, with artificial hills and flowing water, birdsong and fragrant flowers. Even the stones on the ground are polished to a bright and transparent shine.

As expected of the imperial palace, even a random stone here is worth a lot of money.

Although it's not made of gold bricks, you can tell that the stone is quite valuable.

Tang Xinxin felt even more envious and wished she could stay there.

If you walk along the stone path, you will find a lotus pond not far away.

At this time, the lotus flowers are fragrant, and the green lotus leaves cover the water surface. Occasionally, fish playfully swim around in the gaps, and a few even leap up, jump over the pink lotus flowers, and then splash into the water with a splash.

Dragonflies and butterflies danced gracefully, occasionally landing on the heart of a blooming lotus flower, creating a breathtaking scene.

Tang Xinxin was stunned. She had seen lotus flowers before, but none were as beautiful as those in the palace.

She took a deep breath; among the fragrance of lotus flowers, there was also a faint medicinal scent.

The scent isn't strong, but it's extremely pleasant to smell.

"This is... does the palace also grow medicinal herbs?"

Tang Xinxin thought it was unlikely; how could medicinal herbs be grown in the palace?

Tang Xinxin continued walking forward, where the area became even more secluded.

"Let go!"

A sweet, charming voice rang out, startling Tang Xinxin. She quickly stopped in her tracks, even slowing her breathing.

What happened? Tang Xinxin quickly found a place to hide, her intuition telling her that something must have happened.

Two figures could be seen in the flower bushes ahead.

"I'm not loose."

The speaker was a man, dressed smartly, and looked to be only in his twenties or thirties.

The man was holding a woman dressed as a palace maid in his arms.

"Let go, I still have to go to the banquet to serve."

The woman's voice was sweet and charming; she was eager to leave.

The man hugged her even tighter, saying, "No, let me kiss you first."

"Honey, how long has it been since you last visited me?"

The woman gave a haughty snort, "You have the nerve to say that? I can't go out often in the palace, how could I have so much time to look for you? Why don't you come looking for me?"

"I've been busy, I have a lot of things to do at home."

"Busy getting married? I heard you're getting married soon."

The woman's voice was full of displeasure as she said this.

The man chuckled and said, "It's all just rumors from outside."

"But I heard that your mother found it for you, and you even exchanged birth dates and times. What do you take me for?"

"I can leave the palace in another six months. You said you would wait for me to leave the palace."

The man kissed the woman on the forehead. "You misheard me. I belong to you completely. How could I possibly marry someone else?"

"This dress is very pretty. Is it for the little princess?"

"Hmph, Yu Dashun, don't try to evade the main issue. Do you dare swear to God that you won't marry anyone else?"

"Okay, I swear."

The man actually raised one hand, holding up two fingers, "I swear I won't marry anyone else, if I do, may God..."

Before the man could finish speaking, his mouth was covered by the woman's hand. "You really did send it? I believe you now, okay?"

"Brother Da Shun, there are only six months left, you must wait for me."
