It was another day of watching the Queen and Concubine Hua fighting each other. This time, Shen Meizhuang looked at An Lingrong and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

But she ended up saying nothing.

As soon as An Lingrong returned to Yonghe Palace, she asked Bao Ge to go out and inquire about the news.

Baoge walked around outside and came back with an angry look on his face.

"Master, they are going too far. They even mock you for not being able to keep the emperor."

"The Emperor has been with me for the past three nights, and we..."

Now An Lingrong knew where the problem lay.

Whenever the emperor visited his concubines, it would be recorded in the history books. The details would even include how many times the palace maids called for water.

The emperor flipped her name card for three consecutive days, so anyone interested could naturally find the relevant records.

An Lingrong learned from her mistakes and spent the whole morning in her study copying the Diamond Sutra sent by Su Peisheng. In the afternoon, she selected the most interesting pages and personally took them to the Yangxin Palace for the emperor to review.

Naturally, he also had a sumptuous dinner and naturally stayed to sleep with him.

That night, water was called for four times in the West Warm Pavilion, and the lights in the room were on until late at night. Upon hearing the news, all the palaces came to pay their respects in advance.

After learning from her last lesson, An Lingrong arrived at Jingren Palace at the right time.

It was still Concubine Hua, Noble Lady Cao and Concubine Li who took turns bullying her, while the Queen acted like a peacemaker and tried to smooth things over.

After paying his respects, he rewarded An Lingrong with two boxes of snacks with rich ingredients.

The emperor, who was so happy that he could eat it to his heart's content, flipped An Lingrong's name card twice in a row.

Since An Lingrong entered the emperor's bedchamber, she had the emperor's exclusive possession for six consecutive days, a favor that even Concubine Hua had never experienced.

After the Queen went to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects, the Emperor flipped over the name card of Noble Lady Fucha in the Yanx Palace. After favoring her for a day, he flipped over the names of Concubine Hua and Shen Meiyu twice each.

After that, due to the tense war in the northwest, the emperor's visits to the harem became even more limited. Dongyue came to the harem eleven times in total.

I went to Jingren Palace on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.

The remaining Concubine Hua served the emperor in bed five times, An Lingrong and Shen Meiyu served the emperor in bed twice each, and Noble Lady Fucha of the Yanx Palace was so angry that she tore her handkerchiefs into pieces so many times.

It started snowing in the winter month. The queen, out of consideration for the people in the harem, asked everyone to pay their respects on the first and fifteenth day of each lunar month.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the Queen gave Hua Fei full authority to host the palace banquet.

Concubine Hua has a rich private treasury, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is planning a big move.

After three snowfalls, it was the fifteenth day of the lunar year, the day for greeting people.

It was on the night of the palace banquet that Zhen Huan came into contact with the emperor. The two of them talked about love in the Yime Garden, and after returning to the palace, she forced everyone in the harem into having no place to stand.

An Lingrong did not want to prevent Zhen Huan from gaining favor, but she did not want the two of them to meet too smoothly in this life.

An Lingrong got up early and imitated Concubine Mei of the Tang Dynasty and painted a blooming flower stamen between her eyebrows.

The bright red plum blossoms made her skin look as white as jade. Whenever Concubine Hua saw her across from her, she would roll her eyes.

"Bao Que, I heard that the plum blossoms in Yimei Garden are in full bloom. In previous years, when I was home, my mother always took me to collect the dew between the petals and make plum blossom dew for my father."

"Master, the snow has stopped in the past two days. How about we go pick some flower dew tomorrow morning and present it to the emperor..."

As the master and servant in front walked away, she could not hear clearly what was said later, but Hua Fei thought that An Lingrong was trying to use tricks to attract the emperor's attention again.

She ordered angrily.

"Zhou Ninghai, the emperor has always been frugal and doesn't tolerate extravagance. Take your men and replace the plum blossoms in the Yimei Garden with ones that can bear fruit..."

Peach blossoms have a fragrance, but this won’t do.

"Yes, plant a hundred-child and thousand-grandchild trees, and look for tall and large ones for transplanting."

"Make sure you finish it before bed."

After receiving the order, Zhou Ninghai rushed to the flower and grass house to beg his fellow villagers for help.

When Cao Qinmo learned of Concubine Hua's plan, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Concubine Li agreed with the Empress' plan and even sent her personal maid to Yime Garden early in the morning to wait and see the Empress make a fool of herself.

But the palace maid was so cold that her nose was running, but she didn't see anyone from Yonghe Palace.

After An Lingrong instigated Concubine Hua to take action, she no longer paid attention to Yime Garden.

There was a steamed fish dish for lunch. As soon as it was served, she felt like vomiting and gave instructions to Baoque.

"The fish is a little cold. Take it to the kitchen to heat it up and share it among you."

"This servant thanks the master for the reward."

Bao Que quickly put the fish back into the food box and whispered a few words to Bao Ge when handing it to him.

Baoge had just covered the steamer when Baojuan opened the lid with a smile.

"Sister Baoge, I heard that the master has gifted us some delicious food, so I came here to feast my eyes on it first."

She was relieved only when she saw that the tenderest belly meat of the steamed fish had disappeared.

Concubine Yu was one of the concubines who served in the winter month. She was ordered to keep an eye on the belly of the mistress of Yonghe Palace.

The imperial kitchen sent fish several times, but Concubine Yu did not react, so she must not be pregnant.

An Lingrong in the main room sat on the couch and couldn't stop vomiting. Baoli hurriedly took out some preserved plums from her purse.

"Master, please eat something sour to suppress it."

An Lingrong recovered only after she finished eating a bag of preserved plums.

I barely ate half a bowl of rice and a few chopsticks of vegetables, and I couldn't eat any more.

"Baoli, you should keep a closer eye on Baojuan recently."

"Bao Que, have Bao Ge go to the Imperial Hospital in half an hour and ask Doctor Wei to come and check Ping An's pulse."

It's been over a month since I took the fertility pills, and the baby in my belly is also...

"Your humble servant, Wei Lin, the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Hospital, pays his respects to Concubine Yu."

"Get up, I'm troubling Doctor Wei again."

The fertility pill is indeed a pill provided by the system. As long as she doesn't have morning sickness, even the imperial physician won't be able to tell whether she is pregnant or not.

This was Wei Lin's third visit to Yonghe Palace, and he was the one who requested the pulse check for the past two months.

Wei Lin skillfully took out a handkerchief and gently placed his hand on it.

Why does this pulse look like...?

He was afraid that he had made a mistake, so he switched to An Lingrong's other hand to check.

He boasted of his great medical skills in vain, but he didn't even realize that Concubine Yu was pregnant.

An Lingrong looked at Wei Lin who lowered his head and asked in confusion.

"Doctor Wei, is there anything wrong with my health?"

"Congratulations, my lady. Congratulations, my lady. You are about a month pregnant."

There are many hidden talents in the Imperial Medical Service. Even if he doesn't say it now, others will still be able to find it out.

An Lingrong pretended to be surprised at first, but then became a little distressed.

"Doctor Wei, I've heard that a pregnancy cannot be disclosed to anyone before three months, otherwise it will disturb the fetal spirit and be detrimental to the offspring. Could you, Doctor Wei, help keep this news a secret for now?"

"When the day comes, I will personally speak to the Emperor."

Wei Lin had no choice but to agree. He immediately knelt down to show his determination.

"Wei Lin is willing to serve you, my lady. He will do his best to take care of you and the dragon fetus."

An Lingrong gladly accepted Wei Lin's offer of support and also inquired in detail about some things that needed to be paid attention to during pregnancy.
