"Greetings to Lady Yi."

Yixiu casually waved her hand to let them get up, and continued to walk into the inner room.

"Why did you call me here with all that fanfare?"

Qi Yuebin smiled so hard that his teeth showed, his face brimming with pride. "I asked the court doctor to take my pulse today, and he said he can tell if the baby is a boy or a girl!"

Yixiu subconsciously tightened her hands hidden in her sleeves, and her eyes involuntarily looked at Qi Yuebin's smiling face again, and her throat tightened a little.

"Oh? Then what are you doing..."

"A daughter! Ha! I'm going to have a sweet and soft daughter! Let me make this clear, I can't give you all my jewelry in the future. I need to save some for my daughter. Don't be too stingy. Go back and pick out some fabric and send me some. I'll ask my father to send two embroiderers who are good at making children's clothes to come to our house someday."

Yixiu's clenched hands relaxed instantly, and she quickly grabbed Qi Yuebin's sleeves again. After carefully looking at the pure joy in the other's eyes, she felt as if some dark mist was dispersing in her heart.

"Xiaoyi, do you want to ask the court doctor to take a look? That way we can prepare cloth and other things in advance. But if you don't want to, that's fine too. It's all up to you..."

"I know medical skills, so I don't need a doctor to diagnose my pulse."

Jianqiu shuddered with shock, having never expected her master to suddenly reveal her medical skills. A woman in the harem possessing medical skills could be used to protect herself or harm others, so how could she reveal such a hidden secret?

Qi Yuebin was also surprised by Yixiu's words. He didn't expect Yixiu to trust him so much. Qi Yuebin had seen Yixiu's nervousness when he announced the sex of the fetus, but he didn't expect that a daughter could break her heart.

Yixiu put her hand on Qi Yuebin's hand, looked into his eyes and spoke slowly.

"I've loved reading medical books since I was young. Because I was a concubine's daughter, I wasn't valued, so I could only study on my own. Although I can't say I can practice medicine and save lives, I'm quite proficient in it. I've diagnosed a prince myself."

Qi Yuebin felt his scalp tingling from being stared at by Yi Xiu opposite him. He encouraged himself secretly that this was the most crucial step. As long as he could deceive the opponent now, he would be able to lie down halfway in the future.

"That's fine, brother. When he grows up, I'll take him to practice martial arts. Don't you dare plead for him? It just so happens that you're pregnant with a boy and I'm pregnant with a girl, so it makes the Chinese character for 'good'. The prince will definitely be happy when he finds out."

Yixiu wanted to ask Qi Yuebin if she didn't mind at all that she had a son first, and she also wanted to ask her why she never minded that she was in charge of the household chores. Wouldn't she feel dissatisfied?

Qi Yuebin looked at Yixiu steadily, her eyes as pure and clear as ever. She clearly didn't say anything, but it seemed like she gave Yixiu an answer.

……

After seeing Yixiu off, Qi Yuebin lazily leaned against the window to bask in the sun. The system in his mind temporarily put down the game he was playing halfway and spoke in confusion.

"Host, why don't you just get pregnant with twins and then lie down?"

"The medical conditions here are so poor, and confinement is so boring. I'm crazy. I'm pregnant with twins!"

"Then why don't you have a son?"

"What's wrong with me liking daughters? Qi Yuebin's wish is to have a child, not a son. Of course, you can do what I want."

"Oh, yes. The original owner also wanted Yixiu to serve him. If you are on good terms with her now, how will you be able to order her around in the future?"

Qi Yuebin suddenly laughed evilly, "It's because I'll be ordering her around in the future that I need to befriend her now. Otherwise, how can I raise my daughter in luxury~"

……

Noticing Jianqiu's frequent stealing glances, Yixiu sighed and waved her over.

"Jianqiu, you've been with me for more than ten years, right?"

Jianqiu half-knelt beside Yixiu, looking up at her master, as if she had returned to the time when her master was still in the boudoir.

"Jianqiu has been by your side for twelve years."

"Good Jianqiu, I know you can't figure it out, and I know you're worried about me, but I want to give it a try and trust her for once."

"Princess, Jianqiu is stupid and doesn't understand what you mean. If you want to try, then try. If not... I'll risk my life rather than let anyone betray you."

Yixiu stroked Jianqiu's hair again and again. The life she lived after marrying into the Fourth Master's house was a life she had never dared to imagine before. It even made her have the delusion of wanting to truly experience the love between sisters.

Yixiu prayed secretly, asking her lover and friends to remain unchanged, and asking that such a good day would never be broken.

"Don't talk nonsense, girl. Who wants you to risk your life? Our Jianqiu will become the most glorious Aunt Jianqiu in this mansion and take care of the baby in my belly until it grows up."

Jianqiu leaned lightly against her master, cuddling in a snuggling posture without exerting any strength for fear of pressing her master. In her heart, she only thought that her princess deserved all the good things and she was willing to give everything for her master.

Defei stayed indoors and did not need to greet anyone. Yinzhen was busy with work and rarely went into the backyard. Yixiu was bored from taking care of her pregnancy every day, so she would come to the martial arts field regularly to watch Qi Yuebin exercise.

No matter how many times she saw her, Yixiu would be frightened whenever she saw Qi Yuebin with a bulging belly practicing something called "yoga", fearing that she would fall to the ground and get hurt.

"master……"

Huichun hurried over, whispered a few words to Jianqiu and then retreated halfway. Jianqiu pursed her lips and spoke softly, but her eyes glanced at Qi Yuebin.

"It's okay, just tell me what you want to say."

"Master, the doorman reported that a visiting card had just been sent from the Ulanara Mansion, saying..." Jianqiu closed her eyes and continued to report, "It said that Ulanara's wife and Rouze Gege are coming to visit you at the mansion, and asked you to prepare."

Yixiu remained silent. She really wanted to smile at the girls, who were so nervous they were about to face a great enemy, but she was afraid to scare them. She had been feeling uneasy for so long, and now that someone had come to disrupt it, she wasn't surprised at all.

Qi Yuebin wiped the sweat off his face and understood the whole story. After counting for so long, it was finally Bai Yueguang Rouze's turn to appear. He didn't want to change this plot, but he also didn't want her to have it too smooth.

After personally sending Yixiu back to the yard, Qi Yuebin called over an inconspicuous little maid in the yard and gave her instructions quietly for a long time.

On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, Ulanara's wife, Jueluo, accidentally sprained her ankle the night before she came to visit, so only her legitimate daughter, Ulanara Rouze, went to Prince Yong's Mansion, which had just changed its plaque.

A woman dressed in the royal attire of a concubine stood in front of the palace gate. She looked around with her beautiful hazy eyes and seemed to have made up her mind. Then she let the servants lead the way and slowly walked into the palace.
