After Noble Lady Fucha became pregnant, she became much more arrogant than before. She would often use the excuse that she had stomach discomfort and ask Yinzhen to visit her.

What's more important is that she now even dares to secretly provoke Concubine Hua. After all, she is pregnant, she is also favored, and most importantly, she has a good family background.

Hua Fei got up early and paid respects to the Empress at Jingren Palace. Seeing Noble Lady Fucha's delicate appearance, she became angry: "Noble Lady Fucha is pregnant as if she has a golden nugget. She always invites the Emperor to come over under the pretext of stomachache. She is not afraid that the Emperor will get annoyed if she does it too often."

"How does Concubine Hua know that my stomachache is an excuse? Isn't it known to everyone how hard it is to have children?" Noble Lady Fucha retorted in a light tone.

But he didn't notice that the queen's expression changed as soon as he said this.

Concubine Hua sneered, "Don't mention that I have been pregnant with an heir to the throne. Even if I haven't been, it's not your turn to lecture me. You should just keep your belly. It will be fine if it's a prince. But if you are unlucky like Concubine Zhao and only give birth to a princess, it's hard for you to show up in front of others now!"

Xia Dongchun is not as scared of Concubine Hua as she was when she was reborn. Moreover, she has a daughter now, so Concubine Hua cannot give her a lash so easily. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "When Concubine Hua is scolding Noble Lady Fucha, I shouldn't have interrupted. Why do you have to drag me along? If those villains hear it, they will think that Concubine Hua can't stand the emperor having a child."

"You!" Hua Fei was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Xia Dongchun to dare to talk back.

Then Noble Lady Fucha continued, "Whether it's a prince or a princess, I have my own children after all. I don't have to go through the hardship of raising children like your majesty."

With just one sentence, all the childless concubines present were offended.

But Noble Lady Fucha has not realized it yet, or rather, she has realized it, but in her opinion, she now has the confidence to say this.

"Well, this is Noble Lady Fucha's first pregnancy, so it's inevitable that she will be a little delicate. Concubine Hua, you are an old veteran in the palace, why do you have to make things difficult for you?" No matter how unhappy the Queen was, she was always willing to be a good person.

"As expected, the Empress is kind and generous. This is something that others can never learn." Noble Lady Fucha's words were obviously meant to skewer Concubine Hua.

"Well, you have all paid your respects. I am also tired, so you all should go back first." Seeing that Concubine Hua was about to retort, the Queen spoke immediately.

Everyone left one after another.

After leaving the gate of Jingren Palace, Concubine Cao called out to Zhen Huan, "Concubine Wan, please stay. I am really worried about you. Concubine Fucha is obviously not as favored as you, but you are lucky enough to be pregnant now."

"Whether or not you have children is determined by God. Maybe you are not blessed enough yet, so why force it." Zhen Huan did not want to discuss these things in front of Jingren Palace. What's more, Concubine Cao was Concubine Hua's person. Mei Zhuang's fake pregnancy must be related to them. Zhen Huan really couldn't like her.

"I was worrying too much, sister." Lady Cao was not affected by Zhen Huan's cold attitude at all, and still smiled, "Sister, I forgot that I have received the most rain and dew, so there is no need to worry if I don't have an heir for a while."

Just as Concubine Cao finished speaking, Concubine Hua came out of Jingren Palace.

Zhen Huan immediately turned to Concubine Hua and said, "Noble Lady Cao's words were disrespectful to Your Majesty. I apologize to Your Majesty on her behalf."

Hua Fei didn't take it seriously at first, and asked lazily, "What?"

"Sister Cao just mentioned that I have received the most blessings but I am not pregnant. But I know that the one who has received the most blessings in the palace is Your Majesty. Isn't Sister Cao just using my experience to ridicule Your Majesty?"

Concubine Hua glared at her and Concubine Cao immediately shrank her shoulders.

"If God favors me, he will surely give me a son. If not, it will only be a daughter." Hua Fei raised her chin slightly and looked down at Concubine Cao, "Just like Concubine Zhao, Concubine Xin... and you."

After saying this, Concubine Hua was supported by Songzhi and got on the sedan chair. Concubine Cao gave Zhen Huan a quick glare and quickly followed Concubine Hua's pace.

Xia Dongchun and Noblewoman Borjigit, who were two steps behind, happened to see this scene. Noblewoman Borjigit couldn't help but sigh: "Noblewoman Wan really has a clever tongue. No one can beat her."

"Who said that? In my opinion, you are also amazing, sister." Xia Dongchun was not happy to hear noble Borjigit praise others, and joked, "If you don't believe me, you can compete with her next time you have a chance."

"Nonsense, how can this be compared?" Nobleman Borjigit couldn't help laughing.

After they left Jingren Palace, they went back to their own places.

Although Noble Lady Fucha had just been stabbed by Concubine Hua when she was paying her respects, it did not affect her at all and she continued to send people to invite Yinzhen on the grounds of fetal discomfort.

After this happened so many times, Yinzhen began to feel annoyed.

But after all, thinking that she was pregnant, he still came even though he was impatient.

Unexpectedly, the imperial physician took Yinzhen's pulse for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, the young lady's pregnancy seems to be stable and everything is fine. She may have eaten too much and has food accumulation in her stomach, which is why she feels uncomfortable."

Yinzhen frowned and said impatiently to Noble Lady Fucha: "You are so old, how come you can't even tell whether you have eaten too much or are really feeling unwell?"

"Your Majesty, I am just afraid." Noble Lady Fucha said coquettishly.

Yinzhen stood up and said, "I have something else to do. I will come to accompany you another day."

After that, he turned around and left.

After he left, Noble Lady Fucha was so angry that she threw the pillow on the bed.

"Please calm down, my lady. You are pregnant, so you shouldn't get angry." Sang'er picked up the pillow. "Besides, the emperor is angry now, which means he cares about you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed to see you."

Noble Lady Fucha curled her lips and said, "The Emperor only sat for a moment and then left. Who knows how An Lingrong and Xia Dongchun will laugh at me."

"How could that be? Young Master, you are pregnant, they are envious of you." Sang'er flattered, "Besides, Young Master, you are blessed with great fortune, you will definitely have a boy, and then you will be able to directly enter the position of concubine. Look at Concubine Zhao, isn't it because she only gave birth to a princess, so although she was given a share of the concubine, she is still a noble lady?"

"That's right, how can she compare with me?" Noble Lady Fucha said this with great pride, "When I give birth to a prince and become the head of Yanxi Palace, she will be envious of me."

On the other side, Xia Dongchun held Ling Yuan, who was crying non-stop and had a fever all over her body, and frowned, "Yin Zhu, go get the imperial physician to see what's wrong with the princess."

"My lady, Yinzhu has just gone to ask for the imperial physician, and he will probably be back soon." Yun Ling reminded her.

Xia Dongchun was extremely anxious. Ling Yuan was born at great risk of her life, and she was a premature baby. She might die if she was not careful, so she was even more careful about everything. Even though she had a wet nurse to take care of her, she still had to worry about everything all the time.

After lunch today, she asked the wet nurse to bring Ling Yuan over as usual. However, she could hear Ling Yuan crying before the wet nurse even entered the hall.

After coming in, the wet nurse knelt down and apologized: "My lady, I was just about to bring the princess here, but she has a high fever."
