I traveled through time and space to become the mistress of a royal palace. My daily routine is to a

"Wan'er, my belly is getting heavier and heavier. Do you think the fetus will be too big and difficult to deliver?"

"Don't let your imagination run wild. I checked and the two babies are of normal weight. You will give birth to the babies safely."

"I've been getting more and more uneasy lately. I always feel like something is going to happen."

"You just have trouble sleeping since you got pregnant. It will be fine after you give birth to the baby."

"I hope so."

Just as Song Qingwan and Rupin were chatting in Yilan Palace, a little palace maid walked in.

"Your Majesty, Aunt Biyu from the Queen's side has sent some supplements."

"Please."

"Yes, ma'am."

After a while, Biyu came in with a smile on her face, holding a pile of things. She glanced at Song Qingwan who was standing next to Rupin, and seemed a little surprised.

"I pay my respects to Concubine Ru and Concubine Huai."

"Miss Biyu, please get up quickly. I have nothing to do here. I feel bad for bothering you to run back and forth."

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Your Highness is pregnant with twins. This is a great event in the harem, so Your Highness will naturally pay attention to it."

"Then please ask Miss Biyu to thank the Queen on my behalf. When I give birth to the child safely, I will definitely thank her in person."

"I will definitely convey your Majesty's message. I will not disturb you two any more. I will take my leave now."

Biyu put the things down, bowed and left.

"The Queen often sends supplements to your sister?"

"Not often. Occasionally, they send some, usually some ginseng or something like that, which is very nourishing."

"Although I don't know if the Queen is sincere, I still need to eat less tonics to prevent the fetus from being too large and affecting your health."

"I also thought of what you said, Wan'er, so I never took the supplements that the Queen sent me."

Song Qingwan nodded, and she felt relieved.

The Queen is Prince Yu's biological mother. She doesn't believe that the Queen will really be good to Concubine Ru. After all, the Emperor is in good health now. If Concubine Ru gives birth to another child, the situation in the future will be unpredictable.

Zhao Huaijin and Concubine Shun had no intention of competing for the throne, so no matter how the Lan family tormented them, they had no reaction. Concubine Shun and Zhao Huaijin were not people with a strong utilitarian mentality.

The Yan family has even less of that. The Yan family’s forces are not in the court and are far away from disputes. Just because they don’t have that now doesn’t mean that others will trust them.

That's why there have been disputes between Prince Huai's party and Prince Yu's party in recent years. One side wants to get to the top, while the other side wants to protect itself, and neither side wants to give in to the other.

If Concubine Ru gave birth to a prince safely now, it might disrupt the current peaceful situation.

After all, who can guarantee that Rupin’s son will not become the crown prince?

Song Qingwan just wanted to keep Rupin and her child safe, but others might not think so.

Just as Song Qingwan and Rupin were saying goodbye and preparing to leave the palace, Concubine Xiang came over again, twisting her waist.

"It's really haunting."

Rupin frowned and cursed silently, what does this woman want to do here?

"Oh, Princess Huai really cares about Rupin. What a deep sisterly love. It's really enviable."

"Lady Xiang should mind her own business less and pay more attention to herself. After all, one cannot live one's whole life by imitating others."

Concubine Xiang was rarely angry; she just smiled.

Song Qingwan discovered that the current Xiang Guiren was simply an opera version of her mother, and she felt sick to her heart.

Every move of Pang Lingyan and her companions was of the demeanor of a general's daughter, while Xiang Guiren was pretentious and deliberately leaned in that direction. However, she had no martial arts foundation and was only good in form.

At first glance, Song Qingwan thought that Concubine Xiang was planning to perform an opera!

"Haha, sister, don't just blame me. You're not much better. If Song Qingwan didn't help you, would you be favored?"

"Why, are you jealous of our deep sisterly love? Didn't Xiang's sisters help you regain the Sacred Heart?"

"You...Lin Wantang, don't be too happy too soon. There are still several months before the birth. The baby might just fall out on its own."

Song Qingwan couldn't bear to hear anyone cursing the people around her, so she walked up and pushed Concubine Xiang to the ground.

"You can't draw a tiger but end up drawing a dog. What? Do you curse other people's children when you're jealous of them?"

"Song Qingwan! Don't be too proud. Wait until your good sister gives birth to a prince. I'll see if you two can still maintain your sisterly love!"

"Then you don't need to bother yourself. If you provoke me again, believe it or not, you will not be able to be a nobleman anymore!"

Song Qingwan sneered. Was this Xiang Guiren here to sow discord today? She didn't buy it. Song Qingwan never cared about this kind of fight.

Xiang Guiren's expression became even uglier. She knew that Song Qingwan was not saying this to scare her. With her current strength, she would not gain any advantage by confronting Song Qingwan head-on.

The best plan now is to get pregnant with the dragon fetus as soon as possible, so that she will be qualified to compete.

Thinking of this, Xiang Guiren got up from the ground, glared at the two of them and left.

"Wan'er, I won't compete with you. Even if I give birth to a prince, I just want him to be safe. Besides, with the strength of the Lin family, it is impossible for us to compete with the Yan family."

"Don't fall into my trap, sister. I never thought there would be a day when you and I would fight."

Rupin looked at Song Qingwan and smiled, and she knew that she had not trusted the wrong person.

Song Qingwan comforted Rupin for a while before leaving. The young eunuch hiding in the bushes nearby did not dare to come out until everyone had left.

"Your Majesty, I saw with my own eyes that Princess Huai had a fight with Concubine Xiang for Concubine Ru."

"Humph, it's just a show. There is no true love among the royal family."

"So what should the slave do next?"

"Keep keeping an eye on Rupin and find someone to fan the flames in front of Xiang Guiren."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Remember, stop at the right time and don't reveal any flaws."

"Yes, ma'am."

Seeing that Rupin was about to give birth to the dragon fetus, how could the queen do nothing? It was just that she couldn't do anything too obvious.

It would be fine if Concubine Ru gave birth to a pair of princesses, but if she gave birth to a prince, he would be a rival to Prince Yu, and the Queen would naturally find a way to eliminate him.

The fact that only princesses were born in the palace for so many years is certainly not the reason why the emperor's offspring were born. Many of these events were caused by the queen.

This time, when Concubine Ru was pregnant, the Queen did try to find an imperial physician to see if the baby was a boy or girl, but Song Qingwan interfered and the diagnosis was not made.

The key is that the emperor trusts Song Qingwan very much, and the queen can't find an opportunity to take action at all. She can only instigate the fool Xiang Guiren to cause trouble for Rupin.

As for how much those supplements were worth? There was nothing in them, just to make Rupin relax her vigilance and make the emperor grateful to her, thus solidifying her reputation as a virtuous queen.
