Walking out of Xianyue Pavilion, dark clouds were rolling in the sky. In the evening, the rain began to fall. I opened the second-floor windows that let in skylight, and a cool breeze blew through the room. I put a soft couch next to the bed and lay on it, looking at the scenery of Houhu Lake in the rain. It was quite interesting.

Raindrops splashed on the lake, resembling countless leaping fish frolicking on the surface. The willow trees by the lake swayed in the wind and rain, their branches dancing in the breeze. The lotus flowers in the lake, a little disheveled by the rain, still exuded a delicate fragrance. The mountains in the distance were shrouded in mist, appearing and disappearing, creating a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere.

This rain lasted for several days.

The sound of rain outside the window is constantly dripping, hitting the window, as if playing a natural symphony. The room is filled with a fresh atmosphere, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Lying on the couch listening to the rain, time passed slowly and everything became so peaceful and beautiful.

As soon as the sudden rain stopped that day, Caiyue came hurriedly and said, "Miss Wen, my mistress wants you to come over." After saying that, her eyes drifted towards Su Ye who was behind An Lingrong.

An Lingrong was delighted, but remained expressionless. "I haven't seen my sister for several days. Su Ye, come with me."

When I arrived at Xianyue Pavilion, Shen Meizhuang was waiting at the door.

After entering the hall and seeing that they were the only four left, An Lingrong asked, "Sister, are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Meizhuang nodded: "I have been feeling a bit nauseous and vomiting these past two days, but it's not too serious."

Upon hearing this, Su Ye stepped forward to take the patient's pulse. At this moment, Zhen Huan and Jin Xi also hurried over.

The gazes of several people fell on Su Ye like burning flames, as if they wanted to see through a hole in her.

Shen Meizhuang, who was sitting, remained calm on the surface, but her other hand unconsciously clenched, her palm soaked with sweat from nervousness. She bit her lip slightly, her eyes fixed on Su Ye.

An Lingrong noticed her uneasiness and quickly stepped forward to hold her hand, "Sister, relax."

Shen Meizhuang let out a breath.

The joy on Su Ye's face became more and more obvious. "Congratulations, my lady. You are indeed pregnant. However, the pregnancy is still young, less than a month. We need to carefully check your pulse to see it."

With just one sentence, all six people in the hall laughed silently. Shen Meizhuang was so excited that her face flushed and she was about to cry.

Zhen Huan quickly said, "Sister Mei, don't get too excited."

Shen Meizhuang quickly calmed herself down.

"Sister Mei, I guess someone will tell everyone in public about your pregnancy in the next few days." Zhen Huan said.

An Lingrong interjected, "Yes, when the time comes, you must ask Liu Bin to diagnose your pulse. He will naturally be able to tell if you're pregnant!"

"Okay, I've written it down!"

"There is one more thing that I need to consider, sister." An Lingrong thought of something.

Shen Meizhuang had calmed down and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhen Huan had already guessed, "Is Rong'er trying to talk about palace power?"

An Lingrong nodded.

Zhen Huan continued, "Nian Gengyao will be returning to court in the autumn. By then, the Emperor will probably restore Concubine Hua's authority as assistant to the six palaces."

Shen Meizhuang thought about it carefully and said, "Then I will use my pregnancy as an excuse to ask the Emperor to temporarily exempt me from the post of assistant to the Six Palaces. It's better to stay away from her sharp edge."

"it is good!"

After a few days, the sun finally showed its smiling face from behind the clouds. An Lingrong, who was already feeling very depressed, quickly invited Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu to go together to see the lotus flowers after the rain.

The three sisters walked by the lake. The air after the rain was fresh and pleasant, as if carrying the fragrance of soil. People couldn't help but take a deep breath and feel the beauty of nature.

After the rain, lotus flowers seem even more noble. Amidst the dancing lotus leaves, buds await, like shy young girls, waiting to bloom after the storm. Raindrops gently slide across the petals, evoking the apt phrase, "The lotus emerges from clear water, naturally free from embellishment."

An Lingrong was delighted and went closer to the lake to take a look.

Seeing this scene, Zhen Huan couldn't help chanting: "A beautiful woman in a emerald veil stands by the water, her sandalwood powder unevenly distributed, her fragrance soaked with sweat. A gust of wind comes, rolling the green waves, her pearls scattered and hard to clean up."

"Sister, are you praising me or the lotus?" An Lingrong smiled playfully.

"Of course I'm complimenting you!"

Seeing Zhen Huan's serious expression, both of them couldn't help laughing.

"With my two sisters here, I dare not bear the word "beauty"!" Although she said so, An Ling's skin was as white as cream and she was a beautiful girl from a small family. Her appearance was not inferior to that of Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang.

Looking at her curved eyebrows, Shen Meizhuang smiled and patted her hands, "You have a charming smile and beautiful eyes, you are worthy of it."

An Lingrong straightened her back, put her hands behind her back, and said calmly, "Since both sisters say so, then I won't be polite and will reluctantly accept these two words!"

Seeing her actions, both of them couldn't stop laughing.

"The three sisters are in such a good mood!"

The three of them turned around and saw that it was Concubine Qi, Noble Lady Cao, and Noble Lady Xin.

After exchanging greetings, Concubine Xin, who was the most outspoken, spoke first, "I thought it was just the three of us out for a stroll, but I didn't expect you three sisters to be here too!"

Because of Princess Shuhe, Shen Meizhuang had been quite close to Concubine Xin recently, so she replied, "It's cooler now. Why isn't Princess Shuhe here?"

Concubine Xin walked a few steps to the side of the three of them and said with a smile, "She got up early today and is taking a nap now!"
