"Okay~"

She responded quietly.

If it was Chun Shi and the others, they could be tricked, but with Nanny Su around, her idea might not work.

When Xiyu saw Chun, she picked up the powder on the dressing table and prepared to help her put on makeup. Suddenly, she remembered that she was pregnant, and these things she put on her face contained substances that would affect the fetus.

"Wait a moment."

She stopped Chunshi's hand from moving, sniffed around among the bottles and jars, and then put the rouge and powder she had picked out aside.

"Except for these six... take all of these away. The ingredients in them are unsafe and I cannot use them now. Mammy, please write to Fourth Brother and ask him to send some cosmetics that can be used during pregnancy to the palace."

"I understand. I will write it down right away."

Nanny Su and two palace maids cleaned up the things on the dressing table, and it was almost empty in an instant.

News in the palace always spreads quickly. From the time she was found out to be pregnant until morning, it took only half a day for everyone in the palace to know about it.

Countless gifts of all sizes were sent from various palaces, among which the Empress Dowager, Kangxi, and Defei gave the most gifts, ranging from gold and silver utensils to bowls, chopsticks, and plates.

Qiuxu and Dongshuang were busy registering and organizing all the gifts and putting them into the warehouse.

Near noon, the East Third Building was even more lively. Yun Ran brought Little Thirteen and Little Fourteen directly to the East Third Building.

As soon as he entered Danruoju, Yun Ran was anxious to see Xiyu, so he let go of his two younger brothers' hands, leaving them standing there looking at each other. After they came to their senses, they ran after him with their short legs.

Even though she looked anxious, the tassels on her temples did not fly around, which showed that she had good manners.

"Fourth sister-in-law."

Yun Ran frowned slightly, with a hint of worry on his face.

After hurriedly walking into the room, he saw Xiyu's rosy complexion and everything was fine, and his heart finally settled down.

"I'm in a hurry, so I'm not afraid of falling."

Xiyu raised her head from the book, smiled at her softly, then patted the seat beside her, motioning her to come over and sit down.

"Didn't Fourth Brother say that you were frightened yesterday? The imperial physician told you to rest and take care of your pregnancy, and no one should disturb you."

As Yun Ran spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and sat down on the couch.

She lowered her voice and complained quietly, "I thought it was a serious situation. I was scared... Although I was anxious during the journey, the nanny who teaches etiquette has been very strict recently, and I don't want to lose the dignity and grace of the princess."

"It's only May and the weather is already so hot and unbearable. I'm afraid we'll have to go to the summer resort earlier this year than last year."

"Seventh sister, why didn't you wait for us?"

Little Thirteen held Little Fourteen's hand, and they both walked in holding onto the door frame.

The Thirteenth Prince was wearing a royal blue gown, while the Fourteenth Prince was wearing a dark green gown.

One in blue and the other in green, the two of them bowed and greeted Xiyu respectfully like little adults.

"May your fourth sister-in-law be well, and may your nephew be well~"

The two of them moved in unison and bent over at the same time, which was very cute.

Seeing this, Xiyu couldn't help but smile and said softly, "Hurry up, you two are the elders, you don't need to greet your nephew."

After that, she ordered: "Chun Shi, bring some of the recently developed snacks to the two princes, as well as some of the sweet-scented osmanthus sugar crisps and hibiscus honey wine. Xiao Qi likes them."

"Yes."

Chun Shi responded and turned to leave.

After Little Thirteen and Little Fourteen stood up, they sat on the stools, one on the left and one on the right.

"Fourth sister-in-law, are you really pregnant with a nephew?"

Little Fourteen blinked his bright eyes and looked at her belly eagerly, as if he wanted to touch it right away. "I've seen other ladies have big bellies when they're pregnant."

After saying this, he opened his hands and exaggeratedly made a circle.

"That's because the empress you saw was already pregnant for several months, while Fourth Sister-in-law is only one month pregnant, and the baby in her belly is not even as big as a broad bean."

The two children looked as if they understood but then quickly forgot about it and started talking about other topics.

As they were chatting, there was some noise outside.

Although the sound is not loud, it is loud enough to be noticed.

"What's going on outside?"

Xiyu heard the voice and looked outside through the open window. There was a group of young and unfamiliar palace maids, and at the end of them was a slightly taller eunuch.

In the palace, there were very few eunuchs who were so tall, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"To answer Madam Fu, a group of palace maids who turned 25 left the palace and went home. There was also a eunuch who was seriously injured and returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. These are the palace maids and eunuchs who were just assigned to the East Three Buildings. They all entered the palace this year."

Chun Shi stepped forward to report, "The Fourth Master said that Nanny Su has a sharp eye, so he handed over everything to her for supervision and distribution, and did not allow her to disturb you."

"Mammy has a good eye. I feel relieved to leave this matter to her."

Since it was not a big deal, Xiyu was happy to have some free time.

With three lively guys around, she didn't feel bored at all and half a day passed quickly.

When Yinzhen hurried back after resigning from his post, he found several people chatting animatedly. Little Fourteen even brought up the embarrassing stories of the young eunuchs around him.

The room was bustling with activity and filled with laughter.

Xiyu leaned leisurely against the window, yawning occasionally, and then laughing with everyone.

When Yinzhen saw this scene, his originally cold face suddenly became gloomy, and a hint of chill was revealed in his voice, "Who is in there?"

"In reply to your question, it was the Seventh Princess who brought the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes with her. They are now talking to the Lady."

Gao Wuyong did not notice the change in Yinzhen's expression, and said to himself: "I have been here since noon. I feel much better after seeing Fu Jin."

Hearing this, Yinzhen's face became even uglier and he raised his foot skillfully.

Gao Wuyong was suddenly hit on the butt and looked confused.

Fu Jin is happy, isn't that a good thing? Why did she kick him again?

Normally, as long as Fu Jin was happy, the Fourth Master would be in a much better mood. What happened today? But what did he do wrong?

He began to follow what he was going to do today step by step, and then he heard the cold voice of the Fourth Master.

"Fujin is pregnant now, and she is most prone to being sleepy and tired. How dare you let so many people in to disturb her rest."

After saying this, he didn't give Gao Wuyong any time to react and walked straight into the house.

"Master, you're back."

When the young concubine saw him, she was as enthusiastic as ever, with stars shining in her eyes, and Yinzhen's mood couldn't help but improve a little.

"Greetings to Fourth Brother."

Yun Ran stood up and took his two younger brothers to pay their respects to Yinzhen, but received an unhappy look from the other party.

Who in the Ministry of Revenue has offended the Fourth Brother, the King of Hell?

She felt puzzled, then returned to her previous seat and sat next to her fourth sister-in-law, their arms tightly linked.

Yinzhen's eyes fell on it, and he felt even more unhappy.

How could this Xiaoqi be so tactless? Normally he sticks to the Empress Dowager and the Empress, but now he sticks to the Concubine too.

"Fourth Brother~"

The hem of his clothes was pulled by the meat-like Little Fourteen, who seemed unhappy about being ignored by him.

Yinzhen's gaze lingered on his two younger brothers and he snorted in his heart.

Not only did he come by himself, he also brought his two little ones along.

He said calmly with a stern face, "It's getting late. It's almost time for dinner."

So you guys should go back quickly and don't stay here.

"Since it's almost time, why don't you stay and join us? The small kitchen will prepare something delicious tonight."

Xiyu suggested enthusiastically.
