Ruyi: "One wrong step, all wrong steps. Today, I understand my aunt's feelings a little bit."

In Ruyi's view, her situation is very similar to that of Ulanara Yixiu. She first met Hongli and had a good relationship with the emperor, but because her family background was not as good as the queen's, the jade ruyi she got was also taken back.

But the queen couldn't find fault with it. It couldn't be said that it was wrong for the queen to steal Hongli's heart. But it was indeed because of the queen's arrival that she could only sit in the position of a concubine and watch them go hand in hand, like a bystander.

The next day, Bai Ruiji woke up and started to make a fuss, "Where is my child? Where is my child?"

Palace maid: "The fourth princess was taken away by Concubine Hui. The emperor has registered the princess' jade disc in Concubine Hui's name."

"How could the emperor do this to me! This is my child, not Concubine Hui's!" Bai Ruiji screamed. Despite her body having just given birth, she wanted to get out of bed to find Concubine Hui and take the child back.

The palace maids naturally tried their best to stop her, "Madam Mei, the imperial decree has been issued, you must not disobey it, otherwise you will be disliked by the emperor again!"

Bai Ruiji struggled desperately, and said, "I can't care about that. No one can take my child away from me. No one can!"

Yixiu heard the noise outside Jingyang Palace and walked in with a gloomy face, "This is the emperor's will, you have no choice but to do it."

Bai Ruiji knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Yixiu, and cried, "Empress, please help me, my first child was killed by someone. I finally got pregnant with the fourth princess, but she was taken away before I could even take a look at her!"

"I can't help you. Besides, do you really love the princess?" Yixiu stared at Bai Ruiji who was kneeling on the ground with her sharp eyes.

"Of course I love the princess sincerely. She is my own flesh and blood, my only blood relative in this world!"

Yixiu: "Then you should consider the princess. The princesses of the Qing Dynasty all have to be fostered. Most of the fostered princesses do not live past the age of 20, and very few can marry into the capital. Can your favor compare with the family background of Concubine Hui?"

"Your concubine, your concubine..." Bai Ruiji was silent, and finally cried with her head in her hands, "It is your concubine who is not worthy of being the princess's mother, but your concubine cannot bear to leave her. I really cannot bear to leave her."

Yixiu continued, "When the Empress Dowager was still Consort Xi, her eldest daughter, Princess Hengchu, was married to Junggar by the late Emperor. Do you know why?"

When Bai Ruiji heard the Queen Mother's heart startled, she asked blankly: "Why?"

"Because she made Hengchui break the Junggar's treasure, the Nine-Linked Rings, when she was young. Although it was for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the late emperor, it also made Hengchui remembered by the Junggar. Moreover, although she was the most favored among the six harems at that time, she had no one in the court, so naturally she could not stop the late emperor from marrying the princess."

Zhen Huan's surname Nianhulu was originally given to her by Yinzhen forcibly, and she was not close to Nianhulu. The branch of Nianqin that she was associated with was just a side branch, and they only helped each other when it was profitable. He would never do anything to disobey the late emperor.

As for the Zhen family, since Zhen Yuandao was demoted, no one has been an official. Only when Huanbi and Zhen Yurao married into the royal family did the Zhen family become prominent for a while. Now, the titles of Prince Guo and Beile Shen have nothing to do with the Zhen family.

Bai Ruiji: "I understand. For the princess, it doesn't matter how heartbroken I am."

Seeing Bai Ruiji crying so sadly, Yixiu's conscience, which had long been gone, suddenly hurt for a moment, and then she left without any burden. She felt a little emotional, because it turned out that a musician from the Southern Palace, who was born in a humble family, was also a true lover of his daughter, much better than many people.

Because of this incident, Bai Ruiji's health deteriorated and she did not get better even after the confinement. Yixiu told her not to come to pay respects anymore and just treat her like Concubine Duan in the past. Anyway, she was not smart.

Gao Xiyue felt guilty for having robbed someone else's child, so she ordered the Imperial Hospital to give Bai Ruiji a good treatment, using only the best medicines, and she would pay for the treatment. Compared to the child, money was never in her eyes.

Gao Xiyue held Jingqin in her arms and spun around in Chengqian Palace. "Jingqin, mother is doing this all for you. Mother is willing to do anything for you."

Mo Xin: "Congratulations, Master, your wish has come true. Meipin is also very tactful. The little princess will definitely be close to you in the future."

Gao Xiyue said with satisfaction: "When she is better, I don't mind taking the princess to see her. If she doesn't have many family members, I can even ask Ama to help her family."

Hongli still did his own thing in the Yanx Palace, but because Bai Ruiji gave birth to a daughter, Ruyi was sad that she could not become her lover's wife, and Zhen Huan was angry that she had made a wedding dress for Gao Xiyue in vain, so no one cared about him.

Deer blood wine and Wushisan eroded Hongli's body day by day, but he didn't care. Later on, he even didn't go to the Queen's Palace on the first and fifteenth days of the month. Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong.

Yixiu and Ruyi went to the Yanx Palace together to invite Hongli, but Hongli was unwilling to come out. He only sent the pregnant Wei Yanwan out and said that the emperor was resting and did not want to see them.

Yixiu didn't want to intervene and just annoy Hongli, but Ruyi stuck her neck out and made a fuss. Since there was someone being taken advantage of, she just said a word or two, but she definitely didn't say anything more.

Unexpectedly, Hongli refused to come out. Ruyi became more and more certain that there must be something wrong with the people in the Yanx Palace. She wanted to punish Wei Yanwan. Wei Yanwan was already feeling guilty, and she gave birth prematurely due to the fright.

Yixiu could only deal with Wei Yanwan's childbirth first, while Ruyi was still wasting time with Hongli who was in hiding. Yixiu was too lazy to intervene, and she thought that every wicked person would be punished by a fool.

Wei Yanwan was born as a palace maid and had been trained in the hardship of the flower house, so her physical fitness was better than that of a lady from a noble family. Even though she took such strong drugs to get pregnant and gave birth prematurely, she did not have a difficult delivery and gave birth to the fourth prince smoothly.

Yixiu looked at the swaddling Fourth Prince and smiled, "You are so lucky to have a son. I don't know if this child can save your life."

It is estimated that Hongli and Ruyi have already had a quarrel, and Zhen Huan is also watching, so the matter of Wushisan can no longer be concealed. After such a big incident, someone must be pushed out to take the blame. Just punishing the officials pushed out by Wei Yanwan will not be enough to appease the public anger.

After Yixiu settled the newborn prince, she went straight to the Yanx Palace, where she received news that the furious Hongli came out and pushed Ruyi, but he did not stand firmly and fell down. Now Ruyi has sent Hongli to the Qianqing Palace.

Okay, let’s go to the Qianqing Palace. After all, she is the queen. No one can be left out for this kind of thing.

"Wu Shi San, how could I be infected with that stuff?!" Hongli was so furious that he was lying on the bed and threw a teacup out. Yi Zheng just happened to walk in and was almost hit by it.

Yixiu: unlucky.
