"You guessed wrong. This is Yuanyuan."

Jiang Wanyi covered her lips and smiled, pointing to another cradle.

Hearing this, Jiang Wange was very surprised, "Why does the boy look like you, and the girl looks like Doctor Wen!"

"I'm not sure about this either. At first I thought Chenchen was a daughter and Yuanyuan was a son, but the truth is the opposite."

Jiang Wanyi smiled helplessly, but as long as it was their child, it didn't matter if he looked like either of them, the blood relationship would not change.

After hearing what Jiang Wanyi said, Jiang Wange didn't say anything else, but picked up Yuanyuan and weighed her in his arms.

Yuanyuan seemed to have some sense of what was going on. As soon as Jiang Wange hugged her, she woke up and smiled at him with her eyes curved.

Jiang Wange, who had originally planned to make Yuanyuan his daughter-in-law, liked her even more at this time!

"Wanyi, I'm determined to have Yuanyuan as my daughter-in-law. Even if she can't be my daughter-in-law, I'll still have her as my goddaughter."

Jiang Wanyi likes Yuanyuan so much, this kind of liking is a kind of fate that cannot be described at first sight.

When Jiang Wanyi heard what Jiang Wange said, he looked at her helplessly:

"We need to ask His Majesty about this matter. After all, Tuan Tuan is the eldest prince..."

"Why are you asking about my son? Your Majesty will listen to my decision, don't worry about that."

After seeing this, Jiang Wanyi didn't say anything else. The child is still young, who can predict what will happen in the future?

Sisters Jiang Wange and Jiang Wanyi got together and chirped a lot of crickets. When Xiahou Xuan came to call Jiang Wange, it meant that they were going back to the palace.

"Why do we have to go back to the palace so soon? I haven't stayed long enough, why don't we have lunch first?"

Jiang Wange wanted to stay here for a while longer, but was rejected by Xiahou Xuan.

"No, we have to hurry back to the palace for lunch, otherwise people will find out we left the palace."

"Well... well then, Wanyi, I'll come to see you next time, and when the baby is one month old, I'll definitely give you a generous gift."

"Sister, please take care of yourself. I am not feeling well so I won't see you off."

Jiang Wange nodded, and went back to the palace with Xiahou Xuan. They still took Wen Yilan's carriage when they went back. Wen Yilan asked the maid to take good care of Jiang Wanyi, and then went back to the palace to take up duty.

As the days go by, the weather becomes hotter and hotter, and we have entered summer.

In previous years, during the summer solstice, the empress dowager would summon the concubines and the wives of ministers to the palace to attend a lotus viewing banquet and taste lotus crisps together.

This year is no exception, and this lotus viewing banquet is also part of Xiahou Xuan's plan.

Halfway through the banquet, the Queen Mother gave Concubine Shu a look, and then Concubine Shu began to retch.

The Queen Mother immediately asked the imperial physician to take Concubine Shu's pulse, while other concubines and female family members waited on the side.

Xiahou Xuan and Jiang Wange just sat in their original positions, motionless.

It was not until the imperial physician announced that Concubine Shu was three months pregnant that Xiahou Xuan stood up.

"Are you telling the truth? Concubine Shu is already three months pregnant?"

Xiahou Xuan frowned and looked a little worried.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. I dare not speak nonsense. The Concubine Shu is indeed three months pregnant, and the fetus is stable and strong. I believe she must be carrying a prince."

Upon hearing this, before Xiahou Xuan could say anything, the Queen Mother started acting.

"This is great news, Your Majesty. Concubine Shu is the pregnant concubine after Concubine Xihui, so she must be taken good care of!"

"What the Queen Mother said is true. From now on, let Wen Yilan take care of Concubine Shu's baby. He is the head of the Imperial Hospital and has the best medical skills. He also took care of Concubine Xihui's baby before, so he has experience."

Xiahou Xuan said with a serious face.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother did not raise any objection.

Although Wen Yilan is His Majesty's person, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. She doesn't believe that His Majesty would do anything to Concubine Shu and the baby in her belly.

At this moment, Jiang Wange could not hide the sadness and fear on her face. She seemed very surprised about Concubine Shu's pregnancy and disappointed with Xiahou Xuan.

Her expression and look were seen by everyone. Some people sympathized with her, while others wanted to watch the show.

Shufei has a good birth and a good family background. If Shufei can also give birth to a prince, then the position of queen will definitely belong to Shufei, and it will not be the turn of Xihuifei!

Zhengui would rather have Concubine Shu become the queen than have Concubine Xihui, whom she hated, take the throne.

He Guiren looked at Jiang Wange with concern, worried that she could not accept this fact. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to start.

The news of Concubine Shu's pregnancy spread throughout the court and the country through the mouths of these female relatives.

At the morning court the next day, many people congratulated Xia Qingyuan, saying that he was going to be an uncle, and some even thought that the position of prime minister that had been vacant for a long time would also be his.

Xia Qingyuan knew about Concubine Shu's pregnancy two months ago, and his whole family was very happy about it, but they had kept it a secret until today. Now they can finally hold their heads high.

Ever since Concubine Xi Hui gave birth to the eldest prince, Jiang Huaiyuan has been highly valued in the court, and his status and influence have grown, making Xia Qingyuan feel tremendous pressure and crisis.

But from now on, his Xia family will still be unstoppable.

Xiahou Cong felt a chill when he saw Xia Qingyuan's smug look. Wasn't it just that she was pregnant?

It is not certain whether the baby can be born safely, and even if it is born, it may not be a prince!

Jiang Huaiyuan was very indifferent to the fact that his colleagues were congratulating Xia Qingyuan. He just wanted to be a loyal minister and did not want to form any cliques or factions, nor did he want to associate with people like Xia Qingyuan.

It’s just that Jiang Huaiyuan doesn’t provoke Xia Qingyuan, but Xia Qingyuan will take the initiative to cause trouble.

"Why is Lord Jiang silent today? Could it be that he is unhappy after hearing the news that Concubine Shu is pregnant?"

"Master Xia, you are joking. Your Majesty's concubine has another child. This is something that everyone in the world should be happy about. The ministers will naturally be happy too. The reason why I didn't say anything is that I just don't like to talk."

Jiang Huaiyuan retorted very calmly. Upon seeing this, Xia Qingyuan sneered and said nothing more.

Xiahou Xuan arrived at the court quickly, and everyone in the hall fell silent and lined up.

In the morning court, Xiahou Xuan suddenly mentioned Chen Zongyuan who had been imprisoned in Tianlao for more than half a year. He said that there was new evidence proving that Chen Zongyuan had colluded with officials in the court and most of the gold and silver money had gone into their pockets.

When everyone heard this, no one dared to speak, but they were all wondering who this person was.

When someone asked Xiahou Xuan about it, Xiahou Xuan remained silent and only said that after all the evidence was sorted out, he would arrest the person directly in the court and let all the court officials witness the scene.

When Xia Qingyuan heard what Xia Houxuan said, he just felt that he was deliberately making things mysterious! How could he have evidence to prove that the money had all gone to the Xia family?

The account books had been burned long ago, there were no account books at all!
