Yixiu scoffed at Hongli's idea. It was ridiculous that he still wished for harmony in the harem with a "stillborn fetus" and two weak heirs.

Both Concubine Jia and Concubine Chun were injured during childbirth, and it would take them two or three years to recover. They both felt that they were being plotted against by the other, but unfortunately they had no evidence. It was visibly obvious that they were not getting along.

After all, Concubine Chun was a concubine, and she had always been on good terms with the favored Concubine Xian. Jin Yuyan could not handle it alone, and she quickly fell behind on the surface. She could only work harder to win favor. Hongli did not understand why, but he happily accepted it with a smile, because it would be disrespectful to refuse it.

Concubine Chun was worried that Jin Yuyan would be the first to deal with her and her two children after she came to power. Unfortunately, she was not good at competing for favor, and Ruyi had always been aloof and was even less savvy about the struggles in the harem than she was.

In desperation, Concubine Chun set her sights on Bai Ruiji, who was with Chen Wanying. When Hongli visited the two children, Concubine Chun mentioned that Bai Ruiji often came to coax the children. After hearing this, Hongli could not help but go to Bai Ruiji's palace.

Bai Ruiji had been tepid for many years and had almost lost the protection of the Queen Mother. The palace had always been flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, and she had a hard time. Now that Concubine Chun had finally given her this opportunity, she would definitely do her best to please Hongli and retain his favor.

It is said that once the wound heals, the pain is forgotten. As time passed, Hongli forgot the shadow of that child. He also felt that both Imperial Concubine Ruyi and Imperial Concubine Hai Lan had difficulty giving birth, so he began to favor Bai Ruiji again and promoted her to be Concubine Mei.

But soon, Hongli discovered that the beauty's favor was not so easy to accept, because whenever she had the chance, Concubine Jia would cry and complain that Yongsheng was weak and she was worried about sending him to the West Three Lodges, and her words implied that she wanted to raise him personally.

However, Concubine Chun and Concubine Mei said that Concubine Jia was from the Yu clan after all, and had a special status, so it would be better for Prince Yongsheng to find a foster mother of noble birth to raise him. Hongli thought it was right, and since Ruyi had no children yet, he wanted to let Ruyi raise the child, but he was reluctant to speak up because of the Queen Mother's prejudice against Ruyi.

Both sides were anxious, and Ruyi was inexplicably involved, but she also had her own little thoughts. She was touched that Hongli thought about her and missed her, and at the same time she felt that if she could raise Yongsheng, this precious son, it would also be a support. She was also a little discouraged because she had not been pregnant for many years.

When the imperial concubine found out, she couldn't sit still. She didn't want the child in the first place, but she couldn't bear to let Ruyi get away with it!

Imperial Concubine: "Moxin! Come with me to find the Emperor. I am the Imperial Concubine and Ruyi is only Concubine Xian. My brother should ask me first when he is looking for his adoptive mother!"

Mo Xin had a bitter look on her face. Prince Yongsheng was weak and the master herself did not want to raise him. Now the Emperor obviously favored Concubine Xian. If the master interfered again, it would be obvious that she was competing with Concubine Xian, or even the Emperor.

Mo Xin: "My dear, Prince Yongsheng is weak and may not be well taken care of. Besides, Concubine Jia is unwilling to do so. It is better to let Yikun Palace handle this offending person."

Gao Xiyue didn't buy it. She didn't care whether Concubine Jia was willing or not. It was just her bad luck that she was so beautiful but not favored like Ruyi and Hailan, and she had never succeeded in currying favor with the Queen.

In this case, the mother is useless and the child will suffer, so it is better to give the child to her to raise. As long as her father is alive, she will never lack favor and wealth.

Gao Xiyue: "Moxin, you said that I should go directly to Noble Lady Jia to discuss whether it is better to give the child to me than to Concubine Xian. I think Noble Lady Jia will understand."

Mo Xin was about to cry. She couldn't understand why her master was so confident. She said anxiously, "I think Lady Jia can't understand. Children are the apple of their mother's eye."

Gao Xiyue rolled her eyes and insisted that Concubine Jia was right. Ignoring Mo Xin's attempts to stop her, she took Xing Xuan and rushed straight to Chuxiu Palace where Concubine Jia lived.

The imperial concubine went to Yongshou Palace and brought Hailan with her, asking her to help as a lobbyist.

After Hai Lan knew what the Imperial Concubine wanted to do, she was overwhelmed. She thought that the Imperial Concubine was crazy about having a child, or was she trying to compete with Concubine Xian. She didn't understand, but she couldn't stop her. Half-heartedly, she was dragged away by the Imperial Concubine.
