"Thank you for your help, Aunt Lan Ji!"

Nanxiang spoke to Lan Ji with a smile, then stood up and helped her up.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. Ruolan is my good friend. It is my honor to help Your Majesty deliver the baby."

After figuring it out, Lan Ji was visibly more relaxed, with a smile on her face.

"Lan Ji, you are right to think so. We don't have many years left before we die. We might as well do something useful in the little time we have left."

Ruolan chuckled at this, the joy in her eyes evident.

"What do you mean by 'facing the earth'? How can you say such unlucky words in front of the Queen?" Lan Ji cursed with a smile and glanced at Ruolan.

"I made a mistake in speaking. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." After hearing this, Ruolan squatted slightly towards Nanxiang.

"Okay! Aunts, please stop arguing!"

Nanxiang held her increasingly round belly and sat on the couch, then called the two of them out to reminisce.

When I met Aunt Lan Ji today, I found that she was indeed a person with a good personality, just as Ruolan had said before.

Also know the pros and cons of things.

In the end, he still helped her deliver the baby despite such a huge risk, which shows that he still has confidence in his skills.

Instead of getting to know new people, it’s better to use Aunt Lan Ji. At least she is Ruolan’s friend.

She planned in her mind that when she met Gu Junshen, she would ask him to assign Aunt Lan Ji to come to her Wangyue Residence to help her.

Nanxiang knew since she became pregnant that the day she gave birth would be another difficult battle.

Not to mention that Queen Chen coveted the child in her belly, the virtuous concubine who always did bad things behind her back should not be underestimated.

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Gu Junshen glanced at Liu Sheng, who had just refilled his tea, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty! I heard that Concubine Shu summoned the midwife from Kunning Palace today. So I wanted to inform Your Majesty."

Liu Sheng bowed his body. If it was an ordinary trivial matter, he would definitely not dare to disturb Gu Junshen.

But this matter concerns the emperor's offspring. If Gu Junshen blames him for not telling him, he will be guilty. It is better for him to bring it up on his own initiative.

"But what's wrong?"

After hearing this, Gu Junshen immediately put down the memorial in his hand and glanced at Liu Sheng.

"I heard that the midwife summoned by Concubine Shu has a very bad reputation."

After hearing this, Gu Junshen pondered for a while and asked, "How can you believe such rumors? Have you investigated it yourself?"

"I have investigated. This midwife's skills are very good, so she was slandered by other midwives in Kunning Palace."

Liu Sheng spoke softly and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had investigated beforehand and questioned many old eunuchs from the previous dynasty.

"Yeah!" After hearing this, Gu Junshen nodded calmly.

……

Chaoyang Palace.

"Your Majesty! I have something to report!" Luqi said to the virtuous concubine Huang who was having a meal.

"What is it? I hope it's useful."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The Concubine Shu from Wangyueju has summoned a maid from Kunning Palace."

After hearing this, Concubine Xian was stunned and put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands.

"Go on!"

"I heard that this midwife has some connections with the aunt in charge of Wangyue Residence! But this midwife doesn't seem to have a very good relationship with other people in Kunning Palace."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"Humph! Song Nanxiang is quite smart! But who is she trying to guard against by being so cautious? I don't have the heart to care about the princess in her belly!"

"Your Majesty is very insightful, and you are naturally different from her."

……

At the hour of Xu, look at the moon.

Caiyun walked into the hall with lotus steps and reported to Nanxiang.

"Your Majesty! The Emperor has turned over your card."

"Yeah!" Nanxiang replied softly.

She was no longer surprised by Gu Junshen's arrival.

Apart from looking at other concubines' names every once in a while, Gu Junshen basically came to her most of the time.

She put down the notebook she had just received and rubbed her head with a sour feeling.

"Caiyun, give me a cup of warm water!" Nanxiang said to Caiyun who was standing beside her.

Originally, Nanxiang wanted Caiyun to rest for a few more days before serving her, but Caiyun was stubborn and seeing that Aunt Ruolan was able to start working, she insisted on serving her.

She was not allowed to come, and she was still kneeling and couldn't get up.

Nanxiang took her pulse and confirmed that she had recovered before reluctantly agreeing.

But she was required not to do too much heavy work and to take the tonic medicine on time every day.

I have to say, the tonics sent by the Queen are really good.

Not only did Aunt Ruolan look much more rosy, but Caiyun's skin and hair color also became more lustrous than before.

She had just taken a bite of the osmanthus pastry when Gu Junshen came to the inner hall with a smile on his face.

She quickly stood up and whispered to Gu Junshen, "Your Highness!"

"Didn't you tell me that you don't have to bow to me anymore?" Gu Junshen looked at Nanxiang's belly which had grown quite a bit, and said with concern on his face.

"Your Majesty, this is the rule and it cannot be abolished. Otherwise, what will the concubines and maids in the harem say about me?" Nan Xiang glanced at her with a bit of coquettishness.

"Who dares to say anything about you? Tell me. I will order someone to send her to jail." Gu Junshen said majestically after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, you are joking! I was just saying it casually."

Nan Xiang chuckled. She didn't expect that Gu Junshen actually took her nonsense seriously.

He is truly a man with a love-brain, and his consciousness is no longer clear.

Nan Xiang felt a little tired after standing for a while, so she pulled Gu Junshen to sit on the couch.

"Has the emperor had dinner yet?" Nan Xiang asked softly.

"Already used it?"

"Your Majesty, would you like to try this sweet-scented osmanthus cake? It tastes delicious."

Nan Xiang said as she reached out and took a piece of osmanthus cake and fed it to Gu Junshen.

Gu Junshen looked at Nan Xiang with affection in his eyes and opened his mouth happily.

However, before he could chew a few bites, Liu Sheng came to the inner hall in a panic.

"emperor"

"what's up?"

Gu Junshen said this with an unhappy look on his face. He hated things like this that disturbed him when he was in high spirits.

"Chengqian Palace sent someone to deliver a message. The princess has been seriously ill for a long time!" Liu Sheng said in a panic.

Since this matter concerns the emperor's only princess, Liu Sheng could not care less. If he summoned her too late, his life would be in danger.

Upon hearing this, Gu Junshen became visibly flustered and quickly sat up.

Although he put Wang under house arrest, the princess was innocent and his only child. How could he not be worried at this time?

He glanced at Nan Xiang and saw her waving her hand for him to leave quickly.

"Your Majesty, please go quickly. The princess is seriously ill! You need to take charge of the situation!" Nan Xiang said in a deep voice. She did not expect that the princess would fall ill at this critical moment.

Now that she was pregnant, she hated to see her child seriously ill, so she urged Gu Junshen.

"I understand! I will go see the princess right away. I am sorry for wronging you tonight."

"Your Majesty, you are joking! How have I been wronged? It's still the princess who is more important!"
