In Xianfu Palace, after Ye Bingshang moved out, Jingpin's life slowly returned to its previous boring state. Every day she just watered the orchids left by Ye Bingshang and played with the turtle, with no vitality at all.

Seeing Ye Bingshang coming, Jingpin was also much happier, "Sister Lan Fei is here, I pay my respects to the Empress Lan, may the Empress Lan be blessed."

Seeing that Concubine Jing still enjoyed joking with her as before, Ye Bingshang felt relieved. There had been a lot of things going on in the palace recently, so she had indeed come less frequently.

"Okay, Sister Jingpin, I came to you today because I have something important to discuss." Ye Bingshang pulled Jingpin and went straight to the point: "I wonder if you want to raise Princess Wen Yi?"

Jingpin was a little excited at first, then showed an embarrassed look, and evaded the question, saying: "Since Xiangpin passed away, there are so many people in the palace who are eyeing Princess Wenyi. Duanfei asked Wanpin, and Mipin asked Qi Guiren. How can I have a chance?"

The Sui Yuxuan where Zhen Huan and An Lingrong lived has now become the place where Yinzhen misses Chun Yuan. Concubine Qi is new and fresh, and Yinzhen does not come to the harem often. The three of them plus Ye Bingshang are all considered favorite concubines.

In Jingpin's opinion, Duanfei was a concubine and had more seniority than her. Although Mipin was young, she was a Manchu military flag. Nian was indebted to Fucha, so it was unlikely that Yinzhen would consider letting her raise Wen Yi.

Ye Bingshang also thought of what Jingpin thought, but she still insisted: "Everything depends on human effort. I just ask whether you want to do it or not. If you want to do it, we have to fight for it. Otherwise, who knows who will win."

Jingpin was moved by what she heard, and her refusal was no longer sincere. "I'm just afraid that you will offend people because of this. Mipin and Qi Guiren are of good family backgrounds, and Wanpin and you..."

"I understand what Sister Jingpin means." Ye Bingshang interrupted Jingpin's unfinished words, "I always remember Sister Jingpin's care for me. Regardless of success or failure, I should do my best."

Jingpin's expression was moved, and she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "My dear sister, being a sister is just a small favor, how can it be worth it for you to do this for me."

"It was just a piece of cake for my sister, but it was a life-saving grace for me back then."

After coming out of Xianfu Palace, Ye Bingshang took Luanyue Hongxing to the Yangxin Palace. When Su Peisheng saw her coming, he stepped forward and saluted attentively.

Su Peisheng: "Empress Lan, Concubine Xiang passed away suddenly. The emperor is now worried about Princess Wen Yi losing her mother at a young age. If you bring the princess and prince here, it will surely make the emperor feel at ease."

"Thank you, Eunuch Su, for your advice."

"You are so polite, Lady Lan."

Ye Bingshang came here specifically for Wen Yi's matter. After hearing what Su Peisheng said, she was not panicked. Instead, she felt that God was helping her.

There are many concubines in the palace and few children. The concubines advocated for the custody of the princess on behalf of other concubines. Although this was done under the guise of finding a good adoptive mother for the princess, it would ultimately be suspected of being a flatterer and forming a clique for personal gain.

It was much better for Yinzhen to ask about it than for Ye Bingshang to bring it up herself, and now that Zhen Huan and An Lingrong had not come to speak for Concubine Duan, she had seized the initiative.

Yinzhen was busy reviewing memorials with his brows slightly furrowed and his expression serious. He relaxed a little when he saw Ye Bingshang come in. He stood up, took Hongxing and held him in his arms.

"Mei'er is here. Are Luanyue and Hongxing well behaved recently? Are they sleeping well and enjoying their sex life?"

Just like a kind father, Ye Bingshang said with some emotion, "Luanyue and Hongxing are both fine, Your Majesty can rest assured."

Yinzhen nodded, "You have always been considerate. I am relieved that you are taking care of the two children. I am just worried about Wen Yi, who has been separated from her mother at such a young age."

Seeing Yinzhen took the initiative to bring up the topic, Ye Bingshang took the opportunity to say gently: "If the emperor feels sorry for the princess who lost her mother at a young age, just find a suitable foster mother for her. Many sisters in the palace are still lonely."

"Mei'er, who do you think is a more suitable candidate?" Yinzhen asked with a hint of tentativeness. It was obvious that Concubine Qi and Concubine Mi had already come to fight for it.

Ye Bingshang pretended not to notice and said bluntly: "If we talk about the most noble status, it is naturally the Queen Mother. However, the Queen Mother suffers from headaches and has to manage the affairs of the harem. I am afraid it is too tiring."

Yinzhen did not comment. The empress was the central palace, and if the child was raised under the empress's name, he would become a legitimate child, which was really unnecessary.

Seeing that Yinzhen's attitude was not negative, Ye Bingshang began to praise Jingpin's competitors, "Below the Queen, the main seats in the palace who still have no children are Duanfei, Jingpin, Mipin, and Wanpin."

"Wanpin is still young and will definitely have her own children in the future, so there is no rush. Empress Duan has been recuperating from illness for many years, and I don't know how her condition is, so it's hard to say for sure. Then Jingpin and Mipin are the most suitable."

No matter how you understand this analysis, Ye Bingshang is only considering the interests of Yinzhen's daughter Wen Yi, and has absolutely no selfish motives at all.

Although two options were given, Ye Bingshang was not worried at all that Yinzhen would abandon Jingpin and choose Mipin. Not only did she know Mipin's mind and temperament well, but Yinzhen would know it even better.

I think Yinzhen would definitely not want the lovely Wen Yi to look like the third prince when she grows up. If his daughter only grows taller but not smarter, Yinzhen's expression would definitely be very funny.

Yinzhen pondered for a moment and did not reply to Ye Bingshang immediately. He only said, "I will think about it carefully."

Ye Bingshang didn't say much, but she didn't leave either. She stayed by Yinzhen's side while coaxing the child. There was another good show waiting for Yinzhen at Suiyuxuan tonight. She helped Zhen Huan add fuel to the fire, so how could she be absent?

This time, Shen Meizhuang did not rush to hurt herself to help Zhen Huan act, and neither Zhen Huan nor An Lingrong were willing to take risks on themselves. The two of them were in a stalemate and finally decided to just fan the fire.

An Lingrong clearly felt the disappointment and alienation that Zhen Huan had just revealed. Her eyes darkened. What was Sister Wan disappointed about? Did she still want her to do something?

"Sister...what are you looking at me for?" An Lingrong asked cautiously.

"nothing."

Seeing Zhen Huan using candles to light curtains, paper and other flammable objects without hesitation, and the lights in Sui Yuxuan were brightly lit, An Lingrong suddenly realized that Sister Wan wanted her to hurt herself and put the blame on Concubine Hua.

After she figured it out, An Lingrong felt her blood boiling and her eyes aching. It was all fake, starting from the palace selection. Everyone just wanted to use her, even Zhen Huan was no exception.

Others may not know what will happen to a concubine if she has an ugly scar, but wouldn't Zhen Huan be unaware of it when she was scratched on the face by a cat?

Zhen Huan was so anxious to heal her face that she didn't even pay attention to the discomfort she was feeling during pregnancy and used a lot of scar-removing glue.

An Lingrong felt cold in her heart and no longer felt any guilt towards the child that Zhen Huan had aborted. It turned out that she was not worthy of Zhen Huan.

If Ye Bingshang had not gradually escaped from Zhen Huan's control, Zhen Huan would not have supported her. If she had not worked so hard to plan, Zhen Huan would have liked Fang Chunyi more, who had a good family background.

Thinking about it now, it is really ridiculous. She and Zhen Huan were actually calculating, jealous, exploiting and relying on each other, but they had to deceive themselves by pretending to be sisterly.

Zhen Huan had almost cleaned herself up, her face was covered with dust, she looked dishevelled, haggard and pitiful, "Sister An, let's clean up and get out quickly."

"it is good."

An Lingrong responded and numbly made herself look like Zhen Huan. The dull pain in her heart lingered for a long time. What was the difference between Zhen Huan and Ye Bingshang?

The only difference is that Zhen Huan is willing to coax her, while Ye Bingshang is not. The essence is the same. They both look down on her and want to win her over for their own use.

"Why can't I open this door?"
