Qingran had few teeth and spoke incoherently, but in order to cheer Nian Shilan up, she tried hard to call out, "Mother~"

"Oh, my dear daughter!" Nian Shilan was so happy that she picked up her daughter and kissed her twice, boasting to Songzhi, "Songzhi, did you hear that? The first thing my daughter said was to call me mother!"

Songzhi praised her, "I heard it, Your Majesty. The princess is amazing!"

Yinzhen walked in without being notified and asked with a smile, "Why are you laughing so happily, Shilan?"

"Your Majesty, Zhaoyue can call me mother now. She calls me mother!" Nian Shilan picked up Qingran and teased her, "My dear daughter, be good. Call me mother again so that your father can hear it~"

Qingran opened her mouth and said, "Mother~"

Nian Shilan's smile widened. "Your Majesty, did you hear that? My daughter can call me mother now."

She was used to showing off, so even when facing the emperor, she would naturally start showing off every little detail of her time with her daughter.

Yinzhen was a little jealous and started teasing the little princess, saying, "Little Zhaoyue, come here and call me Emperor Father."

Qingran thought that the line of loving father and filial daughter must be carried out to the end, so she called "Emperor Father" in a baby voice, which made Yinzhen very happy and laughed out loud with joy.

Without looking at the identities of the three people, just looking at how they get along, they really look like an ordinary family, an ordinary couple and an innocent child.

With a little trickery, Qingran easily grasped Yinzhen's psychology and became his most beloved princess. Even Longyue, the daughter of Chunyuan Zhen Huan, could not replace Qingran's position in Yinzhen's heart.

While everyone was having a great time here, a big incident happened in Suiyuxuan. Not long after Chun Chang had her lunch, she felt a pain in her stomach and hurriedly asked her personal maid to call the imperial physician.

Zhen Huan, who was taking care of Long Yue in the palace, heard the noisy noise coming from the west side hall. She frowned slightly and called Huan Bi, "Huan Bi, go and ask what happened? Why is there so much noise?"

Zhen Huan had a bad feeling in her heart, but her daughter was crying and she probably wanted to sleep, but she didn't know it was time to sleep. She felt uncomfortable and didn't behave even after drinking milk. She could only hold Longyue and coax her to sleep, and she couldn't get away.

Without waiting for Huanbi to leave, Liuzhu hurried in and said:

"My lady, it's bad. Chunchang has a stomachache. Qinghe is on her way to get the imperial physician!"

If it was before, the problem wouldn't be that serious. Chun Changzai would just have an upset stomach from overeating, but this time...

Not long ago, Chun Changzai found out that she was pregnant and now she has a stomachache. The situation is not optimistic!

Zhen Huan's face changed slightly, but at this time Longyue cried louder. Even though she was worried about Chun'er, Zhen Huan had to stop and walk out. Her daughter was more important.

Zhen Huan had no choice but to say to Huanbi, "Huanbi, go and help me look after Chun'er. I'll go over and check on Longyue after I've coaxed her back!"

"Yes!" Huanbi said nothing more and walked over hurriedly.

Suiyuxuan originally had no main hall. It was originally used as a stage for concubines to watch plays. Later, the stage was demolished and the largest palace became the main hall. Even the main hall was smaller than a normal main hall, and the side halls on both sides were even smaller.

Huanbi easily reached the side hall. Chun'er's clear cries of pain could be heard from the side hall. Huanbi's heart tightened. She stepped over the threshold and quickly greeted, "Greetings to Concubine Chun."

Then, seeing Chun Changzai's face covered in cold sweat, Huanbi said to the palace maid beside Chun Changzai:

"My mistress is too busy to come and see Concubine Chun right now, so she sent me here to check on her. I wonder how Concubine Chun is doing? Why does she have a stomachache for no reason?"

The maid was so anxious that her forehead was covered with sweat, and she replied,

"I don't know. I was fighting well before lunch, but soon after I ate, I suddenly had a stomachache. I've already ordered someone to seize my lunch and not throw it away. I'm just waiting for the imperial physician to come and examine me."

Chun Chang is seventeen years old this year. Her body has not developed well, and this is her first child, so she has a harder time than ordinary people. She usually takes pregnancy-maintaining and tonic medicines.

For the sake of the fetus, she even ate less of her favorite pastries. Her previously round chin became much thinner due to eating less and growing up. The sight of her lying on the couch with a pale face was heartbreaking.

"Huanbi, I'm so scared." Chun Changzai was not mature yet. This was the first time she encountered such a thing and she was very scared. After she said this, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Don't be afraid, the imperial physician will be here soon." Huanbi didn't know what to do and could only comfort her palely.

Qing He almost ran to find the imperial physician. It happened that Imperial Physician Zhang, who was in charge of protecting Chun Chang Zai's pregnancy, was on duty. She rushed over and cried breathlessly, "Imperial Physician Zhang, Chun Chang Zai has a stomachache. Please go and save her."

Doctor Zhang packed up his things and quickly rushed to Suiyuxuan. Qinghe ran so fast that her legs and feet were sore. She stayed there for a long time to relax before returning to Suiyuxuan.

At the same time, a palace maid went to inform the emperor of the news, but she did not find anyone at the Yangxin Palace. After asking around, she learned that the person had gone to the Yiku Palace. The palace maid then went to the Yiku Palace to look for him, and directly called Yinzhen away in front of Concubine Hua.

The palace maid glanced at Concubine Hua cautiously with some fear. Even if there was a reason for calling the emperor away in front of Concubine Hua, the palace maid felt that she had caused a big disaster and was afraid that her life would not last long.

Unexpectedly, she saw that Concubine Hua had no attachment to the emperor and turned to teasing Princess Zhaoyue. There was no displeasure on her beautiful face, only full of kindness.

The palace maid was stunned, then quickly followed the emperor, thinking that life was really different after having a child. If it were before, how could Concubine Hua smile?

The maid could only guess half of what Concubine Hua was thinking.

Not only was Nian Shilan not angry that someone came to take the emperor away, but she was quite happy. She was no longer the Concubine Hua who loved the emperor wholeheartedly.

Now she only has her daughter and Concubine Hua of the Nian family in her heart. She has no affection for the emperor, only hatred.

She wished the emperor would just go away so that she wouldn't have to flatter him and could just focus on having fun with her daughter.

"My dear daughter, you have to be closest to your mother, understand?" Nian Shilan secretly "brainwashed" Qingran, "First, you have to be closest to your mother, and then you can be closest to your father."

Nian Shilan's vision limits her behavior. Even if she hates the emperor, she cannot break away from the imperial power. She is also a person imprisoned by the imperial power. She can naturally teach her daughter not to be close to Yinzhen according to her wishes, but the consequence of teaching will only cause her daughter to fall out of favor. She may have to go down the path of marriage in the future, which is not what Nian Shilan wants to see.

Therefore, despite her resentment towards Yinzhen in her heart, Nian Shilan could only teach her daughter with tears in her eyes that she should be close to Yinzhen, in exchange for choosing a good son-in-law early in the future, living in the princess's mansion, and not having to marry far away.
