The laundry department is not a place to be a young lady. Everyone who comes here has to work. Once the laundry of the masters of each palace is delivered, they are busy every day.

Juelan had never done such rough work in these years. She was used to a life of luxury and it was like a death sentence for her to come here. Her hands were soaked in cold water, and they were rubbed raw after washing just a few pieces of clothes.

"Why are you stopping? Hurry up and wash! The masters of the palaces are waiting." The head aunt shouted at Juelan as soon as she saw her being lazy.

Juelan threw away the clothes in her hands. She had never suffered such an injustice. In the past, she was served by others, but now she was being ordered around by such a palace maid.

"You really think you are the eldest lady. Now that you come to the laundry department, you have no say." The aunt in charge likes girls with good personalities. Since they are punished to come here, they must not be powerful people. There is no need to care so much. If they don't finish the work, they will go hungry.

No one in the laundry department spoiled her. Her past dignity meant nothing here. She could only do everything according to the requirements of the aunt in charge. Seeing that she was new, all the dirty and tiring work was pushed to Juelan. She was so busy that she had no food to eat for several days.

After being busy for the whole morning, Juelan just stood up and suddenly her eyes went dark and she fell to the ground.

When it was time to change duties, the palace maids discovered Juelan collapsed beside the laundry pool and quickly reported it to the head aunt.

Although she usually didn't show a good face to Juelan, the aunt in charge also panicked when she fainted. After all, she was a young lady from a wealthy family. If something happened to her, she would definitely not be able to escape responsibility.

"Doctor Liu, please come and see what's wrong with her." The aunt in charge was panicking and kept shouting for the doctor to wake her up.

Imperial Doctor Liu knew that Juelan was in the laundry department by the emperor's order. When he first felt her slippery pulse, he couldn't believe it. After confirming it again and again, he pulled the head aunt aside to explain the matter.

"Pregnant?" The aunt in charge was a little surprised. This girl had not been here for long and she had already caused all these troubles. The Emperor had originally sent her here to be punished, and now she was pregnant after only working for a few days.

The aunt in charge kept the matter secret for the time being, but the visits of the Imperial Medical Bureau were all recorded in the book. Not long after, the emperor found out about it and summoned Juelan to see him. Unable to withstand Kangxi's questioning, she told him the whole story.

Ever since she met Prince Qing that night, Juelan recognized him at a glance in the palace today. The child in her belly was left that night. She didn't want to recall it but she couldn't control her thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I have long been attracted to Miss Juelan, please help me." Juelan was a little confused when Prince Qing said this. She thought he would not want the child, but she was overthinking. Now it was impossible for her to go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion forever, so it would be good if she could still go to Prince Qing's Mansion.

Prince Qing had discussed this matter with Kangxi some time ago. Now that they have a child, Juelan should also have a status, otherwise it would bring bad reputation to the Taifu Mansion if it got out. Even if Kangxi was unwilling, he had to consider Bai Daoyun and agreed to Prince Qing's request.

The Taifu Mansion did not have too many opinions and everything was arranged according to Kangxi's will. The Prince Qing's Mansion was no longer in the capital and had fewer contacts in the future. This actually suited Deyin's wishes as no one was trying to harm her.

The wedding was to take place three days later. Bai Dao sent Juelan to the wedding carriage, gave her a few instructions, and then watched the carriage leave the city. Perhaps this farewell would be forever.
