The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

As the eldest daughter of Earl Yuanchang, Yun Fulan had a smooth life since childhood. She had no worries about food and clothing, and had never suffered any hardship or pain. Everyone thought she would live a smooth life, but who would have thought that she would enter the palace.

She was quite favored at the beginning, but who knew that she was suddenly plotted against and the queen was poisoned. The emperor didn't believe her at all and directly stripped her of her title and sent her to the cold palace. She finally persuaded her parents to send her concubine sister into the palace and forced her concubine sister to rescue her from the cold palace. However, after just one day of being favored, she was plotted against by her concubine sister and her lackey was also demoted.

She was already so miserable, but her concubine sister was still not satisfied. She bribed the people in the imperial kitchen to treat her harshly and fed her leftovers every day.

Every time Yun Fulan took a bite of leftovers, she would touch her belly and pray to God to help her get pregnant successfully overnight and escape her current predicament.

March 3rd is the Shangsi Festival, when spring comes and flowers bloom. It is also the Queen’s birthday.

Yun Zhining has been pregnant for more than seven months. Her belly is very big and it is extremely inconvenient for her to move. In addition, Furong Pavilion is a bit far from the Imperial Garden, so when she went there, everyone was already there.

"I am late, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"It's okay. You are heavy now and it is not convenient for you to move. Logically, I shouldn't call you, but I heard that you have been staying in Furong Pavilion for a while and rarely come out. I want to take this opportunity to let you come out and chat with the sisters in the harem, so that you won't be bored staying alone in Furong Pavilion."

"Will not."

Yun Zhining covered her mouth and laughed.

"Her Majesty, have you forgotten that there is still someone living in Furong Pavilion? Miss Zhou has a low rank, and except for going to Fengyi Palace to pay respects to Her Majesty on the first and fifteenth day of every month, she dares not go out at other times, lest she offend other ladies and eat a lot of humiliation. With her around, I am not bored at all."

"Oh?"

The Queen suddenly became interested.

"What do you two do in Hibiscus Pavilion?"

"After getting up in the morning, go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air, then go back for breakfast, read a book, practice calligraphy, then have lunch, take a nap after lunch, play chess, play the piano, chat after waking up, then it's time for dinner, play mahjong after dinner until the hour of Hai, then it's time to wash up and go to bed."

"Then you guys have a pretty fulfilling day."

Yun Zhining smiled shyly.

"The concubines are of low status and cannot help the Queen. We can only live in peace in a corner and try not to cause trouble for the Queen."

"You are just too cautious. The previous incident has been investigated clearly. It is not Concubine Yun's fault, so I will not blame her."

"Besides, she is she and you are you. Even if she did something wrong, I will not blame you, so you don't have to be so nervous. Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink, and go out when you should go out. Even if you meet a concubine with a higher status than you, it doesn't matter. You should do what you should do. If you are wronged, just come to me and I will definitely make the decision for you."

Yun Zhining's eyes immediately lit up with stars.

"Your Highness, you are so kind to me. I don't know how I can repay your kindness to me."

"I don't like what you said. It is my responsibility to take care of you. If you really want to repay me, you should take good care of your pregnancy and give birth to the baby safely. Then I will definitely reward you with many good things."

"Okay, then it's a deal. If the things that Your Majesty rewards me with are not to my liking, I will not accept them."

"Okay, okay, then you just keep an eye on me and see if I break my promise and get fatter."

After chatting with her for a few words, the queen turned her attention to the eldest prince and the second prince, and asked about their recent studies and life. The two princes answered honestly, and the banquet officially began.

Yun Zhining was watching the dancers while eating food at random. Although her chopsticks never stopped moving, she didn't eat much. Zhou Baozhu thought that the food on the table was not to her liking and quickly wanted to exchange with her.

"No, the food on my table is all good, don't worry about it, just eat yours."

"Sister, you are obviously not in the right mood. Tell me honestly, have you encountered something unhappy?"

"No, I'm just waiting for Xiaokui."

"What are you waiting for, Xiaokui?"

"Although it's already spring, I still feel a little chilly, so I asked Xiaokui to bring me a cloak."

"I just felt that Ming Xiaoyi's face looked a little strange. It turns out that she has caught a cold. Yu Teng, hurry back to Yongshou Palace and get Ming Xiaoyi one of my cloaks."

As she was speaking, a voice came to her ears. Yun Zhining turned around quickly and met Defei's concerned eyes. She waved her hand quickly.

"No need, Madam Defei."

"Your health is of utmost importance to the harem. If you catch a cold today, not only the Queen, but even we will be in trouble. So you better be obedient and sit still. I will ask Yu Teng to go back and get you a cloak."

"Zhou Cainv, please shield Ming Xiaoyi from the wind. Don't let her catch a cold."

"Really, that's not necessary, Madam Defei. Xiaokui will be here soon. Hey, she's already here."

Seeing Xiaokui coming, Concubine De had to give up.

"Okay, then you should be more careful. If you feel uncomfortable, tell us right away and don't let us worry."

"I understand, Madam Defei."

"My lady, there is some dust on your face. Let me wipe it off for you."

After helping Yun Zhining tie her cloak, Xiao Kui took out a white handkerchief from her bosom and wiped Yun Zhining's face. Yun Zhining lowered her eyes, her gaze fell on the handkerchief in her hand, a little deep.

After giving the cloak away, she went back. The concubines gave gifts to the queen. After that, the eldest prince and the second prince also presented birthday gifts.

"Your son respectfully wishes your mother a long life, good health, long-lasting happiness and all the best."

"They are all good kids, get up quickly."

"Thank you, mother."

The Second Prince hadn't seen Yun Zhining for a long time. Today was a rare occasion for them to meet, so he asked the Queen and Madam Lin for permission to sit next to her.

"Madam Ming, I heard from the maids in the palace that women become bloated after pregnancy. How come you are still so beautiful? No, I should say you are more beautiful than before."

"Oh my, the Second Prince is really good at talking. Just one sentence makes my heart blossom. If he grows up, he will surely charm thousands of girls."

"Then I will also marry a princess who is as beautiful as Madam Ming. Madam Ming must choose carefully for me."

"Second Prince, what you said is wrong. Even if they want to choose a princess for you, that is the matter for the Empress and your mother. How can it be my turn to interfere?"

"I don't care. I just want Lady Ming to help me see my fortune. Please, please."

Yun Zhining was so annoyed by him that she had no choice but to agree to his request since neither the Queen nor Madam Lin objected.

"Okay, be good. Luo Su made some crispy candies a few days ago. I'll give them to you to try."

"Sister, be careful."

She had just taken out a few crispy candies from her bosom when she saw Zhou Baozhu lift up her cloak and cover her and the second prince's heads. Everything was dark in front of her eyes and her ears were in a mess. She had no idea what was going on.
