Gyeongin Palace

Noble Lady Fucha suddenly made an inopportune retching sound, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Concubine Qi looked at Noble Lady Fucha curiously and asked, "Noble Lady Fucha, what's wrong? You look like you're pregnant."

Concubine Hua glanced at her sideways and said sourly, "Sister Qi Fei, are you getting confused because of your age? You're going to say that anyone who retches is pregnant?"

Noble Lady Fucha smiled slightly and looked at Concubine Hua neither humbly nor arrogantly, with pride hard to hide in her eyes.

"In reply to Her Majesty Hua Fei, I am pregnant. I have already called two doctors to see the doctor. This is absolutely correct. The matter of the royal heir is not something to be trifled with."

After hearing this, Concubine Hua's face changed and she looked angry and embarrassed.

"Really? That's quite a coincidence."

Yixiu, enjoying the excitement, said with a smile, "Really? That's a great joyous occasion! Great! Someone, go tell the Emperor about this."

Hua Fei's eyes darkened, and no emotion could be seen.

Everyone was smiling and complimenting her, except Huanbi who was sitting in the corner and couldn't smile.

Ever since the conspiracy to frame Zhen Huan was discovered, the Emperor never came to see her again. She was originally born a slave and had no good family background to support her. She was living a life worse than that of a slave in this palace.

The emperor was very happy when he learned that Concubine Fucha was pregnant. This was his first child since he ascended the throne.

In order to prevent the same misunderstanding as last time, the emperor specially asked his close imperial physician to check Fu Cha Guiren's pulse to confirm that she was pregnant.

For a time, Noble Lady Fucha became a hot commodity in the palace, and even the empress dowager, who had always lived in seclusion, rewarded Noble Lady Fucha.

Noble Lady Fucha was not a humble person. Ever since she became pregnant, she started to become arrogant. An Lingrong, who lived with Noble Lady Fucha in the Yanx Palace, was deeply disturbed by this.

An Lingrong was deeply favored by the emperor because of her gentle nature and heavenly voice. Noble Lady Fucha considered herself to be from a prominent family and the eldest daughter of the family, so she always looked down on An Lingrong. However, she was in love with An Lingrong in the past and was not nice to her, so she made things difficult for her.

But now that she is pregnant, she comes to mock An Lingrong every day.

"Oh, isn't this Concubine An? This means that Concubine An's favor is higher than mine. It's all fate, after all. Some people are born in humble circumstances and are not worthy of bearing a dragon heir."

After saying this, Noble Lady Fucha covered her mouth and laughed.

An Lingrong was so angry she was speechless. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Noble Lady Fucha chased after her, mocking her, "Sister, why are you leaving? I'm a straightforward person, I say what I think, so don't be upset! Why don't you stay here and get some of my pregnant energy? I'm afraid it will help to suppress that sleazy vibe you carry!"

An Lingrong was so angry that her eyes turned red, and just at this moment, Chun Changzai came out.

"What is Noble Lady Fucha doing? You'd better be careful. When I was at home, my mother once told me that if a pregnant woman runs around without being seated firmly, she may accidentally miscarry."

After hearing this, Noble Lady Fucha angrily pointed at Concubine Chun's nose and cursed, "How dare you! What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you curse me and the dragon fetus?"

Chun Changzai blinked her innocent eyes, not knowing what was going on. "When did I curse you? Wasn't I telling you out of kindness? If you say that, I'll tell the Emperor and the Empress."

Sincerity is a killer skill. Faced with the straightforward Concubine Chun, Noble Lady Fucha was so angry that she shook her sleeves and returned to the house.

An Lingrong bowed gratefully to Chun Changzai and said with a smile, "Thank you for rescuing me just now, sister."

Chun Changzai shook her head and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by 'rescue'? Were we just trying to persuade Noble Lady Fucha to stop jumping around so as not to hurt the dragon fetus?"

An Lingrong was amused by Chun Changzai's straightforwardness. She covered her mouth with her hands and said, "Sister, you are so cute. Anyway, it was you who helped me just now. I just embroidered a few new purses. Why don't you come over to my place and see if there are any styles you like?"

Chun Changzai was a simple-minded person to begin with, and when she saw An Lingrong showing her kindness, she followed her.

An Lingrong returned to the house and took out some of her embroidery works.

"These are all new ones I made, sister, which one do you like?"

Chun Changzai picked up one of them, her eyes sparkling as she praised, "Wow, this purse is so well made. The stitching is so dense, and the colors are so pretty. It's really beautiful! Sister An, can I call you sister?"

An Lingrong nodded and said gently, "Of course, Sister Chun."

Chun Changzai smiled innocently, like a little sun, and even An Lingrong was infected by her.

She pointed at one purse after another and said with a smile, "They're all beautiful. This one is beautiful, and that one is beautiful too. Sister An, your embroidery is amazing! It's a hundred times better than the embroiderers in the Imperial Household Department."

An Lingrong lowered her head, "No, no, my sister would just tease me."

Chun Changzai picked up a purse and gestured, saying, "Sister, you're just too modest. You're really amazing. When I was little, my father gave me a Suzhou embroidered purse. That purse wasn't even half as good as the one you embroidered. My father spent a full fifty taels of silver on it."

An Lingrong was infected by Chun Changzai's kindness and innocence, and the relationship between the two became increasingly warm.

After hearing the news, Yixiu smiled and said, "It seems that my original arrangement was correct."

Jian Qiu also smiled and said, "Yes, An Changzai is a suspicious person. If he were to get along with someone as sensitive as Linglong, they would both be reluctant to express their true thoughts out of concern for each other. But Chun Changzai has always been unrestrained."

Yixiu nodded, then frowned and said, "This noble lady from Fucha is too arrogant. Let's teach her a lesson, but remember, don't hurt the child."

On the second day, Noble Lady Fucha accidentally bumped into Concubine Hua on the palace road and was punished by Concubine Hua to kneel on the palace road for half an hour.

Concubine Hua looked at Noble Lady Fucha on the ground with disdain and said, "Noble Lady Fucha, do you think that being pregnant will make you a king in a day? Since your mind is so muddled, why not get some fresh air here and clear your mind?"

Afterwards, Noble Lady Fucha pretended to have a stomachache and complained to the emperor. The emperor directly summoned the imperial physician, who, after taking her pulse, said helplessly, "Noble Lady Fucha is in good health, and the dragon fetus is safe and sound."

The emperor looked at Noble Lady Fucha with cold eyes and his tone became very indifferent.

"Weren't you just complaining about a stomachache? You are a noble lady, and Concubine Hua is a concubine. You are disrespectful to Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua should punish you according to the palace rules, but you are here making such a fuss. What are you doing?"
