Qingying propped her head up with her hands, staring blankly at one spot. After a long while, she asked, "Did the prince go to Lujun's place?"

In the morning, Su Lujun announced that she was pregnant. Hongli would definitely visit her after he got the news, but Qingying still couldn't help feeling sad. She had taken a lot of pregnancy-preventing medicines over the years, but still couldn't get pregnant.

On weekdays, Concubine Gao often mocked her for being unable to have children and always occupying the prince. Did she wish that no one could have children? She really didn't think so. She just wanted to be with Hongli. But she hadn't been pregnant for a long time. Would Hongli blame her?

Seeing Qingying sad, Ah Ruo shouted at the top of her voice: "She is relying on the baby in her belly to dominate the prince. Normally, the prince doesn't even like to visit her!"

Ruoxin half-hugged Ah Ruo in a soothing manner and said to comfort her: "Everyone in the palace knows that the prince likes our concubine the most. When the concubine gets pregnant in the future, the prince will be truly happy."

A'ruo and Ruoxin sang in unison, Qingying was also happy to hear that, and the three of them, master and servant, started to play around.

In the main courtyard, Yixiu was not happy because Zhen Huan actually ordered her and Qingying to enter the palace together.

You have to know that since Hongzhou's death, Zhen Huan has been ignoring her and would not call her into the palace unless necessary. And everyone knows that Zhen Huan summoned Qingying just to torment her, so what does it mean to call her as well?

Hongzhou is dead, Longyue has been confirmed to be married off and will get married when she reaches the age, and Lingxi will also be married off in the future, so Yixiu doesn't want to lower herself to please that bitch Zhen Huan anymore.

Yixiu: "Su Ran, is there any news from the palace recently?"

Su Ran: "To Fu Jin, there is nothing going on in the palace, but Shen Beile's mansion has been very busy recently."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Yixiu raised the corners of his mouth, looking a little malicious.

Su Ran also gloated over the misfortune: "Concubine Fucha gave birth to another son, and Shen Beile was happy and gave her more rewards. Perhaps the legitimate wife was jealous and quarreled with Shen Beile. In the end, she had a miscarriage and gave birth to a sickly daughter prematurely. She will never be able to get pregnant again."

Yixiu already knew from Fucha Langya's memory that Zhen Yurao only had one daughter, so she was not surprised. She was just curious about what this had to do with Zhen Huan summoning her into the palace.

Yixiu: "How is the relationship between Shen Beile and Zhen Yurao now?"

Su Ran: "The concubine said that she is no longer as good as when she first entered the palace, and because of the sickness of the little princess, Shen Beile and the wife often have unpleasant quarrels."

"Oh, it's only been a few years." Yixiu said sarcastically. Love is the most untrustworthy thing in the world, especially in the harem.

In the past, Prince Shen loved Zhen Yurao more than Yinzhen loved Rouze. If she had not intervened, he would have really stayed alone with Zhen Yurao for most of his life. It was not until he was almost fifty and still childless that he took in several concubines.

Su Ran: "It can be seen that being favored is nothing. Concubine Qing is not as good as Concubine Shen. She is not to be feared at all."

Yixiu: "She is just a concubine and has no children, so I have never been afraid of her." Maybe Hongli really favors Qingying now, so the concubines and Madam Fucha in the mansion are very afraid of Qingying.

But even though Qingying was very similar to Zhen Huan in her youth in terms of temperament and behavior, Yixiu did not regard her as a rival, because she was too stupid. For so many years, she and Gao Xiyue had never lacked favor, but they had never gotten pregnant. Didn't she think that there was something wrong with the bracelets they wore all day?

If Zhen Huan had been so easy to deal with back then, there wouldn't have been so many troubles. Yixiu looked down on Qingying more and more, and she had no other abilities except being good at vying for favor.

Early in the morning, Yixiu and Qingying, in perfect harmony, dressed in low-key and simple yet royal attire, and each with their own thoughts, entered the palace together to pay their respects to Concubine Xi.

The two of them sat in the same carriage, but neither of them spoke much. Qingying was thinking about how to deal with Concubine Xi's difficulties today, and Yixiu was thinking about Hongli's attitude towards Zhen Huan and Qingying.

Hongli was just like his father, obsessed with women and wanted more and more.

When it comes to wives and concubines, they are biased to the extreme based on their own preferences, but they want them to live in harmony, and they are also afraid that they will become too powerful if they unite. They are eager to enjoy the beauty and gain the loyalty of the Yue family, but they don't give them any practical benefits.

In terms of the mother-son relationship, both Zhen Huan and Uya are unwilling to give up power. It's just that Uya is the biological mother after all, and she can let Yixiu speak for her without having to come forward herself. Later, Yixiu became too powerful and disobedient, so she agreed to take Zhen Huan back to the palace. Zhen Huan is an adoptive mother, and she has a favor to her. As long as it does not touch Hongli's bottom line interests, Hongli will give in to her.

In this case, the legitimate wife is the breakthrough point of the game between the mother and son, turning the mother-son conflict into a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict, and it will not damage their face if it is told to others. The original Fu Cha Lang Hua was trapped by Zhen Huan, and she lost both the palace power and the trust of Hongli, and ended up pleasing neither side.

She had a lot of things on her mind, but what Zhen Huan started talking about was not about the affairs of her mansion.

Zhen Huan: "I haven't congratulated my wife yet. The daughter of the Fucha family is so blessed. Shen Beile's concubine has given birth to another son. Now she has two princes."

Fu Cha was indeed a woman with more males than females, so she was precious. Yi Xiu said modestly, "Mother, you are too kind. The matter of offspring depends on fate. Who can have the blessing of giving birth to twins like you?"

After she finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and the whole place was silent.
