After a few more months, Yixiu's belly gradually grew bigger.

As she was laughingly discussing with Gan Ziyun who the child would turn to, Huichun walked in from outside with a bad look on her face.

Huichun bowed to Yi Xiuxing first, then to Gan Ziyun, and then she said, "It's bad news, Fu Jin. I've heard from Eunuch Su that Master... Master has been plotted against."

Yixiu's face froze, and Gan Ziyun asked before she could, "What happened?"

Huichun said, "I don't really know the inside story, but Eunuch Su said that when our prince was in the palace, the Eighth Prince and his men schemed to favor a palace maid! He's very angry now! I'd like to ask Madam for advice!"

It was just such a small matter. Gan Ziyun waved her hand indifferently. What else did she think was going on?

Isn’t it just favoring a palace maid?

Although it was indeed absurd for such a thing to happen in front of Kangxi, the worst that could happen was that he could just take back the house afterwards.

Yixiu looked calm and nodded as if nothing had happened. The incident from her previous life still happened. The maid favored by the Fourth Prince was called Li Jingui. Because of her ugly appearance, the Fourth Prince favored her without thinking, so he always avoided talking about this matter.

Even after he became emperor, he never conferred any title on Li Jingui.

But who could have imagined that it was such a woman who gave birth to the next emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Yixiu didn't like the unknown danger. She pondered for a moment, then said, "After all, our master favors her. It's not appropriate to have her stay in the palace all the time. I'll write a letter to our master and ask him to let Li enter the palace as a princess!"

Gan Ziyun now has a child and has even less feelings for the Fourth Prince.

In addition, Yixiu has been brainwashing her intentionally or unintentionally over the years, so she doesn't care even if the Fourth Prince marries a hundred concubines.

Yixiu originally thought that Li Jingyan would be very resistant to Li Jingui. After all, she was the most favored these days and naturally did not want anyone to share her favor. However, she did not expect that Li Jingyan did not say a word about this matter.

In this life, Li Jingyan saw through the Fourth Prince's indifference and disloyalty early on. She also knew that with her own stupid brain, she could never defeat anyone. She stayed in the backyard and took care of her son, perhaps she would have someone to rely on in the future.

Qi Yuebin and Lu Yingfeng didn't say anything. After all, they couldn't influence Yixiu's decision.

After receiving Yixiu's letter, the Fourth Prince was reluctant at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that Yixiu's words made sense.

Since he favored Li Jingua, although this was not his own will, it had already happened. If he left her in the palace and ignored her completely, it would make him appear to be a heartless person.

But if I bring it back to the palace, at least I can gain a good reputation for being conscientious and responsible.

So when the Fourth Prince came back this time, he brought Li Jingui to Prince Yong's mansion.

Although Li Jingui was just an ordinary palace maid, she was very self-aware and understood that she was just lucky, and there might even be infighting among the nobles, which is why she became the Fourth Prince's princess by accident.

She could clearly feel a hint of disgust and disdain in the Fourth Prince's eyes as he looked at her.

But I am just an ordinary palace maid. It is already good enough that the prince is willing to take responsibility for me and bring me back to the palace.

Becoming his concubine would at least mean having food and clothing. If I were to be deflowered by the Fourth Prince, I would be stuck in the palace without any status and would not only be ridiculed by everyone, but my life would probably be worse than when I was an ordinary palace maid.

It was also Yixiu's first time meeting Li Jingui. She wasn't ugly, but her appearance was indeed very ordinary. She was the kind that could hardly be found in a crowd.

As for talent and knowledge, they are not even as good as the senior palace maids around their masters.

Li Jingui knelt in front of Yixiu nervously. The Fourth Prince had no affection for her at all. How she would spend the rest of her life depended on this concubine.

If this lady was kind-hearted, her future life might be easier, so Li Jingui was particularly respectful to Yixiu.

"Your servant, Li Jingui, pays homage to Madam Madam, wishing you good health, happiness, and good fortune."

These were the auspicious words that Li Jingui had been thinking about for a long time and had written many drafts before she came up with them. She didn't dare to expect the Fourth Lady to be very nice to her, she just hoped that she wouldn't be too harsh on herself.

After all, she was born a palace maid and followed the Fourth Prince in the palace without any status. Even if the Fourth Prince forced her, in the eyes of outsiders, she would only be seen as a dissolute and shameless person who seduced the Fourth Prince.

Yixiu knew that the other person was also a poor person. As long as it did not harm her own interests, Yixiu was willing to be a good person, just to accumulate blessings for herself and her children.

She smiled, raised her hand, and winked at Jianqiu, asking Jianqiu to help Li Jingui up personally.

"Princess, from now on you will be our prince's concubine. When you meet the wife or the concubine, you should call yourself concubine. When you meet the princesses, you can call them sisters!"

Jianqiu's voice was as gentle as the spring breeze. Li Jingui was overjoyed, knowing that this lady was a good person.

She nodded repeatedly, her voice choked with sobs: "Yes, yes, yes, this servant... I, your concubine, thank you for your concern, Madam. From now on, I will definitely follow your lead!"

Yixiu smiled and gave her a few instructions, then gave her some jewelry and some fabric as a gift.

Gan Ziyun was not a mean person, and she also gave some things to Li Jingui.

Li Jingui was so grateful that if Jianqiu hadn't stopped her, she would have knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and would have worked like a slave to repay the kindness of Yixiu and Gan Ziyun.

Compared with Yixiu and Gan Ziyun, Li Jingyan and Qi Yuebin seemed quite disgusted.

After all, they were born into official families and were on equal footing with a palace maid. Calling each other sister still made them feel a little unhappy.

However, because Yixiu and Gan Ziyun were putting pressure on them, they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction and just gave some gifts according to the rules.

Li Jingyan pinched the handkerchief and smiled, "A few days ago, she was just a maid in the imperial palace, and now she's being treated like a sister to us. It seems she's truly blessed."

Qi Yuebin said meaningfully, "Sister Li and...sister Li both have the surname Li. How should we address each other from now on?"

Li Jingui lowered her head slightly and said rather awkwardly, "Who am I? How can I be compared with you two sisters? You two sisters can just call me Jingui!"

Yixiu glanced at the two of them coldly and said in a deep voice, "You and she are both princesses of the prince. How can you call her like a servant? Since you two have the same surname, Li, then just call her Gui Gege."

Seeing Yixiu helping her out time and time again, Li Jingui looked at Yixiu with gratitude and swore in her heart that she would serve Fu Jin well in the future so as to repay her kindness.
