After writing a letter, Nian Shilan dried the ink, handed it to Songzhi, and instructed: "Don't send this letter through the courier department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Try to secretly send it to my father and don't disturb anyone."

Fubao and Hongyao's wet nurses were both selected by Nian Shilan herself and were completely trustworthy. Only Songzhi, Yazhi and Chunxi were left in the room, so Nian Shilan was much bolder in what she said and did.

Yu Ying'er didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she lifted Hongyao up and looked at the little man who seemed to be thinking like an adult. She couldn't help but joked, "Hongyao and Fubao don't seem to like crying like other babies. They seem to know the hardships we went through when we gave birth to them. They are very sensible."

Nian Shilan was quite touched by what he said.

"Yes, Fubao doesn't like to cry or make a fuss. She just likes to look around curiously. She seems to be in a daze and thinking. If she didn't like to chew her fists and spit bubbles, I would suspect that Fubao is not a little baby." Nian Shilan touched Fubao's chubby little face, looked at Yu Ying'er and said.

Both of them sighed, but they did not notice the flash of surprise in the eyes of the two children.

On New Year's Eve, after attending the banquet, the emperor still did not go to any palace. Instead, he returned to the Yangxin Palace to mourn Queen Chunyuan.

Yu Ying'er returned to Chuxiu Palace and gave red envelopes to all the palace maids. She even gave Chunxi a few nice pieces of jewelry and put New Year's money under Hongyao's bed pillow.

After everything was done, he ordered people to prepare a hot pot and invited Lu Yingfeng, who was in the same palace, to have a meal together. Shuhe also came with them.

Shuhe's full name is Aisin-Gioro Yunfei. Unlike Lu Yingfeng's impetuous personality, Yunfei is a gentle person, and her every move shows the demeanor of a royal princess.

Although she was only six years old, she looked more stable than Lu Yingfeng. When she saw Yu Ying'er, she called her "Mrs. Rou" sweetly before Lu Yingfeng could introduce her.

"This must be Princess Shuhe, come and show her to Madam Rou." Yu Ying'er pulled Shuhe around to look at her for a few times, and was very satisfied. "Our Shuhe is really a beauty, and Madam Rou will like her very much. Chunxi, come and bring the red envelope and gifts I prepared for Shuhe. Today is New Year's Eve, and we should also ask for good luck for Shuhe."

Shuhe first glanced at her mother, and when she nodded, she bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Madam Rou."

"So good. Come on, sit down. This pot is better to be eaten while it's hot." Yu Ying'er hurriedly invited the two to sit down and eat, but she never expected that Nian Shilan and Fubao would also come to eat and drink.

Suddenly, Chuxiu Palace was filled with laughter.

At the same time, the scene in Suiyuxuan was quite different.

After rewarding the servants, Zhen Huan dismissed everyone, lit a candle, sat in front of the dressing table, touched her face and smiled foolishly.

"Sister Huan, now you truly belong to me." Zhen Huan smiled strangely, touched her face, and then touched her belly, "Sister Huan, this is a child that belongs to both of us, it's great... Sister Huan, I am very favored now, and it is also thanks to your help. Lingrong will definitely protect our child and will definitely live well in your place."

In the mirror, Zhen Huan's smile became more and more weird.

Rumble…

There was a rumbling sound of thunder outside the house, and it seemed that it was going to rain and snow. Lightning flashed again and again, as if it was going to light up the sky.

knock knock knock...

"Young Master." After someone knocked on the door, Huanbi's somewhat hazy voice came from outside the house, with a hint of anxiety in it.

'Zhen Huan' was not frightened by the thunder and lightning outside, but was startled by Huanbi's sudden voice. Then she recalled how Huanbi looked down on her when she was still An Yi, and her good face suddenly turned sour.

"What?" Zhen Huan asked unhappily.

Huanbi also noticed the unfriendly tone of "Zhen Huan" and really didn't understand the abnormal behavior of the young lady in recent months. However, when she thought of her eldest sister who was afraid of thunder, she braved the wind and snow and came over from the lower room, and ordered Liu Zhu to make a calming soup.

"My lady was most afraid of thunder in the past. I was worried, so I came to check on her. My lady, are you okay?" Huanbi was still anxiously and worriedly asking about Zhen Huan's condition. She felt very distressed thinking that her elder sister was pregnant and yet had to suffer such a fright.

'Zhen Huan' was stunned at first, as she had not expected that Zhen Huan had such a habit. Then she was secretly happy that she got to know Sister Huan a little better, and felt very happy.

"No need, go back and rest. I have someone to accompany me now, so I am not afraid."

The "someone accompanying" in Zhen Huan's words refers to An Lingrong's own soul accompanying Zhen Huan's body, but to Huanbi, she thought Zhen Huan was talking about the fetus in her belly.

"Does the young lady need a calming soup?" Huanbi was still a little worried.

"I said, no need, you can go back and rest!" Zhen Huan said unhappily, her tone was very impatient, and she hated the person who interrupted her chat with Sister Huan.

Huanbi frowned slightly. She didn't know why her young master had become like this since she fell into the water. It was as abnormal as if she was possessed by a water ghost.

Water ghost! Possessed!

Huanbi seemed to be frightened. Her sleepiness disappeared in an instant. She ran out in a hurry. She went to the small kitchen, holding Liuzhu, who was making a calming soup, with one hand, and scooped a bucket of water with the other hand to put out the fire. Then she ran to the inner room, the fear on her face not subsiding at all.

"Sister Huanbi, what's wrong with you?" Liu Zhu was still a little confused as she was dragged back to the house for no reason.

Huanbi calmed down and asked fearfully, "Liuzhu, don't you think the young lady is completely unlike the young lady?"

When asked this question, Liu Zhu became even more confused.

What do you mean by "the young lady is no longer like a young lady"? Even if the young lady is no longer like a young lady, she is still a young lady! Liu Zhu thought so and replied to Huanbi in the same way.

Huanbi said quickly: "No, no, no, she looks like the young master, but in fact, maybe some water ghost has possessed the young master and made the young master a scapegoat!"

Liu Zhu was even more confused and looked at Huanbi with bewildered eyes.

Seeing Liu Zhu's silly look, Huanbi sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you, go to sleep!"

Huanbi felt that she needed to calm down and think about how to deal with the monster that had taken over her elder sister's body.

"Ah!" Liu Zhu cried out, and then asked, "Don't you need to make a calming soup for the young lady? The thunder outside is so loud, the young lady must be very scared, why don't you stay with her in the palace?"

Although Liuzhu was confused by Huanbi's words, she was still a loyal maid after all. She just thought that the young lady must be very scared at this moment.

"The young lady said it's not necessary. You go to sleep. I want some quiet time." Huanbi was really doubting her life. She didn't want to explain any more to Liuzhu and simply told him to go to sleep.

Tonight, Huanbi was destined to be unable to sleep, and the next day she had to serve Zhen Huan with dark circles under her eyes. Zhen Huan saw this but pretended not to see it. After all, she didn't care about Huanbi, she only cared about herself, Zhen Huan and the baby in her belly.

When paying respects, Yixiu asked about the recent condition of Zhen Huan's child as usual, and told her to take good care of herself and give birth to a healthy child for the emperor. This was nothing more than a slight sarcasm towards Nian Shilan and Yu Ying'er.

After being ridiculed, Nian Shilan was the first to be dissatisfied and was about to retaliate.
