No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

People feel cheerful when they are happy. Mr. Ba has always been gentle, but now he smiles at everyone he meets.

The Fourth Master's cold and icy face formed a sharp contrast with him.

For the ministers, the princes working in the six ministries were both their colleagues and their masters.

But whether it is a colleague or a boss, they all prefer people who are more lenient.

If you make a small mistake, Mr. Ba might just laugh it off, or even comfort you.

But if the same mistake is made by the Fourth Master, he will criticize you severely and ask you to write a 2,000-word self-criticism.

As a result, the Fourth Master is indeed not as popular as the Eighth Master.

But the Fourth Master himself doesn't care. As long as his colleagues do their job well, he doesn't care whether they are attentive to him or not.

But he didn't care, Lin Mingyan did.

She was not very happy when she heard that Mr. Ba was so happy.

After all, Madam Tong was pregnant, which made her, being so petty, remember the bad things that the Eighth Master had done.

"Rosewood, has Doctor Li from Miaorentang come to reply recently?" Lin Mingyan thought about it and felt that the problem still lay with Mrs. Guo Luoluo.

After all, there have been no festivals recently, and Emperor Kangxi has not rewarded him. His happiness must be a good thing in the backyard.

Ever since Doctor Li started treating Guo Luoluo, he would quietly inquire about some news from the Eighth Master's Mansion from time to time.

If she got any news, she would use the excuse of coming in to check the pulse of the concubines in the backyard and then bring the news back.

As the fourth wife, Lin Mingyan had an imperial physician diagnose her pulse every ten days to ensure her safety.

But the other people in the backyard were not qualified, so she asked the female doctor from Miaorentang to take everyone's pulse, which was equivalent to the company's health check-up for employees, which was considered an employment benefit.

However, it is usually once a month.

Honeysuckle has more connections with Miaorentang, so he is in charge of this area.

Hearing this, he quickly calculated the time and replied, "Tomorrow is the time when Doctor Li will come to take your pulse. She will come to see you first."

Unexpectedly, not long after he finished speaking, a servant came from outside to report that Doctor Li wanted to see him.

"He said something happened tomorrow, so he came early today to check the pulses of the female members of the family," the young eunuch reported with his head lowered.

This is a common thing, especially since this is Lin Mingyan's own doctor, there is nothing difficult to be flexible about.

Doctor Li arrived at the inner courtyard very quickly and announced the important news: "The Eighth Concubine is pregnant."

"I guess they discovered it these past few days. They sent me a reward and a banner early this morning."

Guo Luoluo never visited Doctor Li in the name of the Eighth Lady, but always went to Prince An's mansion for treatment.

Therefore, this banner was sent in the name of Prince An's relatives, and she was not afraid of others knowing about it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mingyan had already instructed that anyone related to the Eighth Master's Mansion of the Prince of Anqing who came to Miaorentang should be reported.

So after the first consultation with Dr. Li, Guo Luoluo already knew her identity.

As soon as the banner was delivered, Doctor Li quickly found an excuse to come over and report this important matter to Lin Mingyan.

Lin Mingyan was stunned for a moment: "She is lucky!"

I wondered if Guo Luoluo had also been pregnant in history but didn't give birth.

This is her second pregnancy, and her difficult fertility condition is like a joke.

However, it is not ruled out that Li had changed. She created Miaorentang and actually gave Guo Luoluo a child.

Well, it’s really annoying that such a nasty person is taking advantage of her!

"Do you want to..." Doctor Li asked after hesitating.

She knew that her master and the Eighth Concubine were not on good terms, and she was thinking of taking the risk and doing something bad during the next consultation.

Although she might lose her life, if it weren't for Miaorentang, she would have died long ago.

Being able to help the master is a worthy death.

Lin Mingyan waved her hands hastily: "Just do your business properly and take the opportunity to sell some supplements to make more money."

"We are sisters-in-law after all. Even if she gives birth to ten children, it won't affect my status."

Historically, the Eighth Prince failed to ascend to the throne because he himself was not favored by Emperor Kangxi, not because he had no son.

Even if Guo Luoluo gave birth to ten or eight nephews, she would still be able to support these nephews when the Fourth Master came to power.

Unless her hatred reached that point, she really didn't want to do anything to the child.

Doctor Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, having completed his mission, and went to check the pulse of the women in the backyard.

Lin Mingyan sighed a few words about Guo Luoluo's bad luck and was originally prepared to put this matter behind her.

But in the afternoon an unexpected news came.

"You said that Linglan's good sister Yinzhan asked you to go out?" Lin Mingyan was a little surprised.

After all, although he had some friendship with Yinzhan, he also asked her to help take care of Zhang in the Eighth Master's Mansion.

But he didn't want to have any contact with her, which was also a protection for the little maid.

Otherwise, if the maid in the Eighth Master's Mansion had close contact with other families, it would not be good for her life.

Yinzhan is also a smart person. For such a long time, he has never asked Linglan to do anything for her.

Du Juan said, "Yes, I found an inconspicuous boy to deliver the message and told him to meet me on the street where Linglan's house is."

"Is there some trickery involved?"

After all, she was just Lily of the Valley's younger sister, and they only did a cursory investigation, not knowing what she was thinking.

Lin Mingyan thought about it and realized that this little girl was not acting without purpose.

The fact that he asked for a meeting at this time must mean that he had discovered something, and this discovery should be related to Lily of the Valley's death.

No matter what the situation is, she has to go and see it for Lily of the Valley.

"How about this, I won't go back to see my mother and my younger brothers and sisters." Lin Mingyan thought of a safe solution, "You go and bring her to the Niuhulu Mansion to meet her."

She was not very confident about going to an unfamiliar alley, nor could she bring Yinzhan into the Fourth Master's mansion without caring about her safety.

Going to Niuhulu's mansion was easy. She was going back to visit her mother's home, and Yinzhan was going to burn incense for her younger sister who died young.

Even if someone finds out, it can be explained.

Because Yinzhan had little vacation time, Lin Mingyan took people to Niuhulu's mansion that afternoon.

Seeing that she had come to the house without any notice, old lady Niu Hulu thought that she had quarreled with the Fourth Master and came back to her parents' home.

When I heard that she was expecting twins, she smiled again.

Her greatest wish is for her children and grandchildren to live in harmony.

After Lin Mingyan chatted with the old lady and Xilin Jueluo for a while, Dujuan had already brought the silver cup.

Back in her room, Yinzhan knelt down as soon as they saw each other: "Fourth Lady, I saw that little eunuch. He is the one who is close to Prince An's wife!"

"Today, I saw him bringing people to deliver supplements to the Eighth Lady!"
