I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

The eldest princess was skeptical, but she could not find any reason for the emperor to plot against her. After all, she and the emperor were in a state of shared prosperity and adversity. If the emperor harmed her, it would be equivalent to harming himself.

But she forgot that the emperor's supremacy was only self-proclaimed, and that he was just a mortal, and there were things he couldn't see or control. Moreover, some people had long been resentful of the current emperor and wished he would die immediately.

"Sister Defei, has something good happened to you? You look so happy." Liangpin was sitting in the imperial garden admiring the flowers when she suddenly saw Defei, who usually didn't like to leave the palace, walking by in a hurry. She quickly stepped forward to greet her and talk to her.

For Liangpin, this can be considered her duty. After all, she is one level lower than Defei and relatively less experienced. Of course she needs to kneel and salute Defei when she meets her on the road, but asking about things is just a side job.

"Of course it's because His Majesty has a baby boy. How could Sister Liangpin not know about such a big thing?" Defei changed her usual cold look and helped Liangpin up with a smile, mentioning this point as if unintentionally.

"When did it happen? Which sister gave birth to a baby for the emperor?" Liangpin was shocked. She used to think that she was well-informed in the palace, but she didn't expect that she didn't even know this.

You have to know that this is not a small matter of competing for favor. The emperor's offspring, in a broad sense, is related to the existence of the country. In a specific sense, as long as he has a son, the concubines in the palace will have someone to rely on. Even if they get old in the future, they can be taken away by their children and enjoy a peaceful life instead of dying alone in the palace.

"I'm not sure either, but it was Du Baolin who carried the baby over. Before that, the emperor kept it a secret from us. Let's go to Changning Palace to report the good news to the emperor." Concubine De smiled and took Concubine Liang's hand very naturally.

Liangpin was not surprised. She felt that she had guessed what Defei was thinking. Among the current concubines, Lanfei and Chunfei were both relatively young, and they would have plenty of opportunities to have their own children in the future.

Although Concubine Xian is also an old woman like Concubine De, she is pregnant after all, and there is no conclusion yet.

Only Concubine De was not pregnant, had not given birth, and was a concubine of a higher rank in the palace. Since the child was able to be brought to Du Baolin, it was likely that the birth mother's status was not high. In this case, the child was likely brought to Concubine De to be raised by her.

In this way, Concubine De will have a lifelong support. When Concubine Liang thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little envious, and she didn't know when she would have such a blessing.

The two walked side by side on the path in the palace, but they were thinking about completely different things. One was still playing house in the palace, while the other was already planning to slay the dragon.

At the same time, in Qixiang Palace.

"What did you say? Cuizhi, are you telling the truth?" Ai Ziyi frowned, and a fierce light flashed in her originally clear eyes.

Cuizhi, who was kneeling in front of her, was shocked by the situation and quickly began to swear:

"If I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death! I really saw a man in eunuch's clothes floating in like a ghost. If it wasn't for Sister Cui Xi coming so quickly, I don't know what the result would have been!"

The maid standing next to her looked a little strange. She opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.

"Okay, come here, take out the magic weapons I requested and put them in place. I want to see if this thing dares to come again!" Ai Ziyi slapped the table with her hand and made the decision immediately.
