The usually pampered concubine was willing to endure the hardships of pregnancy and the pain of childbirth in order to give birth to a child for him.

Yinzhen's heart softened and he pressed his lips to her forehead, "I like girls, but I want a boy."

"Why?"

Xiyu was very confused when she heard this, and she sat up and looked at him curiously.

"If it's a girl, she will most likely be married off to Mongolia in the future, and I can't bear to let her go."

Her heart tightened, for she knew what it meant to marry far away in Mongolia.

But...she was destined to give birth to two sons and one daughter.

Xiyu slowly buried her face in Yinzhen's neck, "What if we really give birth to a girl?"

Her voice was muffled and no emotion could be heard, but Yinzhen somehow sensed the young lady's sadness.

"I'll find a way."

He slowly closed his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice.

……

On New Year's Eve, the entire palace is filled with a festive and peaceful atmosphere. It is a grand festival where everyone in the palace gathers together.

Xiyu had been looking forward to this for a long time and felt a little nervous, so she got up early in the morning, burned incense, took a bath, and changed her clothes.

Before evening, she sat in front of the dressing table, allowing Chun Shi and Xia Ying to dress her up carefully.

After some operations, Chun Shi stood behind her in a daze, staring at the mirror, lost in it.

The woman in the mirror usually doesn't wear too many complicated and exquisite hair accessories, but now she looks like a fairy descending from heaven with this outfit.

After the wedding, Fu Jin became more and more radiant.

"At today's palace banquet, Fu Jin will definitely outshine all the other beauties."

Xia Ying sighed in fascination.

Xiyu slowly opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror.

With the nourishment of dragon energy and spiritual power, she seemed to become more beautiful and delicate. Her skin was as delicate and smooth as white jade, her eyes were as bright as twinkling stars, and her lips were red without any lipstick, so delicate and beautiful.

She gently stroked her face, feeling the obvious changes.

"Take off the luxurious kingfisher feathers on your head. I'm not the emperor's concubine and I don't need to compete for favors. Why should I outshine all the other beauties? Isn't that just making me a living target for everyone?"

There are many important people in the palace gathering tonight, and the decoration should be exquisite but not gorgeous, which is just right.

She was wearing a smoky pink cheongsam, which was well-cut and had smooth lines. It was neither too complicated nor luxurious, yet dignified and elegant, with the exquisite embroidery faintly visible on it.

Her hair was adorned with pearl hairpins and jade rings of the same color as her Manchu dress, which made her delicate face look even whiter, with bright eyes and white teeth. Such beauty had no sense of vulgarity, but instead gave people an impression of being fresh, refined, elegant and generous.

It is like a red plum blossom in the snow that is not tainted by any worldly air and grows deep in the mountains.

The time was almost up, Xiyu slowly stood up and gently smoothed out the wrinkles and texture on her clothes.

Yinzhen pushed open the door and walked into the house. His eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed directly on the lovely young concubine in front of him, and he stood quietly by the door.

"Fourth Master~"

The young concubine called out softly, then walked towards him with light steps, her figure graceful and elegant.

Those beautiful almond-shaped eyes were exceptionally clear and bright, like two dazzling gems, sparkling and shining, revealing a sense of alertness and cleverness.

When the young lady looked at him with a smile, it seemed as if he was the only one in her heart and eyes.

Yinzhen unconsciously raised the corners of his lips and walked forward, holding her hand, and said softly: "It's almost time, we can't arrive too late."

When the two went out, they happened to meet the third prince Yinzhi and the third wife Dong'e Rongzhu who lived next door.

It seemed that the two of them had gotten over the quarrel from the past few days. The four of them greeted each other and went together.

As night fell and the lights came on, the palace was filled with a busy atmosphere.

There was no queen in the palace, so all arrangements and layouts for the palace banquet were overseen by the four concubines.

In addition to the royal family, this palace banquet also featured many ministers of high rank who were very popular with the emperor.

The palace where the banquet was held was very large. As soon as they entered, Xiyu and Yinzhen took their seats under the guidance of the young eunuch.

The banquet table is stepped, with two steps, upper and lower.

On the upper level, the Emperor's seat was the dragon throne in the middle, the Empress Dowager sat beside him, and the other high-ranking concubines sat on both sides according to their ranks. The tables and chairs were arranged in a semi-arc.

The tables and chairs on the lower level were divided into two sides. One side was occupied by the princesses, princes and their wives in the palace, while the other side was occupied by the ministers and their families.

The seats were getting fuller and fuller. This was the first time Xiyu saw so many royal family members.

The eldest prince and his wife have already taken their seats.

The eldest prince was of burly build and it was obvious at first glance that he was an expert in martial arts. The wife beside him looked pale and listless, not as slim as before. In addition, the heavy clothes she had to wear in winter made her look even more bloated.

No wonder, the first wife has given birth to four children in just six years since her wedding, all of them girls.

"Hey, have you heard that the eldest sister-in-law is pregnant again?"

Dong E Rongzhu leaned his head closer and whispered in her ear.

It is very convenient for two people to sit together and talk in private.

What? Pregnant again?

Xiyu suddenly opened her eyes wide, her eyes filled with surprise.

At the same time, I felt very sad. It was less than half a year since my last birth, and I was pregnant again.

How much did the eldest prince want a legitimate son that he completely ignored the health of his legitimate wife?

Today's eldest lady looks different from the past, and she has obviously been carefully dressed up.

She was dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, had a dazzling pearl hairpin on her head, and had exquisite makeup, but none of these could hide the obvious dark circles and swelling under her eyes.

She should be at the age of youth and prime, but now, just after her twenties, tiny wrinkles have quietly appeared at the corners of the eyes of the eldest lady.

She closed her eyes and carefully felt the energy of the other person.

The energy of a healthy person is green, and the darker the color, the healthier the body.

The energy in the eldest wife's body was already insufficient. Only a hint of dark green remained in her heart. The rest had all turned light yellow, and even the baby in her belly was no exception.

It can be seen that it is a fixed situation that only one of her and the fetus can survive and it cannot be changed.

If the baby is aborted earlier, maybe the adult can still be brought back to life, but if it is delayed for a few more months, I am afraid...

Xiyu frowned slightly, feeling very unhappy.

Just because he wanted a legitimate son, he overdrawn his wife's body. It can be seen that the eldest prince is not as he appears to be - caring for his wife.

What a terrible man!

[According to the historical records of the Monster Management Bureau, the eldest prince and his wife loved each other very much and had four daughters and one son, so this time her pregnancy must ensure that both mother and child are safe.

Now issuing a task to the prisoner, the ginseng spirit Xiyu: Help the first wife Yiergen Jueluo to give birth to a legitimate son. Successfully completing the task will reward 2% of the physical health value and double the current spiritual power; if the task fails, the physical health value will be deducted by 10%]
