Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table

When He Xi went to report, the emperor was having lunch with Ruyi in Yiku Palace. Upon hearing the news, the two of them rushed over in a hurry.

Ruyi was observing the emperor's expression along the way and found that his face was gloomy, and her heart couldn't help feeling a little heavy.

The emperor ordered Qi Ru to prepare contraceptive drugs in order to prevent the Yehenara clan from giving birth to an heir and endangering the Qing dynasty. Unexpectedly, despite all the precautions, she still got pregnant.

As soon as he entered Chengqian Palace and heard the laughter inside, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"The Emperor has arrived~"

When the announcement was made, Chengqian Palace, which was originally filled with laughter and joy, suddenly became quiet, with people kneeling on the ground inside and outside.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

"Get up quickly! You too, you don't need to come down to perform the ceremony if you're pregnant."

The emperor quickly helped Shu Fei up, expressing concern on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Concubine Ling, Concubine Mei, you are here too."

When the emperor saw Bai Ruiji, his expression relaxed a little. The enchanting dance last night was still in his mind, and he felt much more relaxed when he saw her.

"After paying our respects to the Empress, my sister Ling Fei and I said we were coming to visit my sister Shu Fei. We never imagined we would encounter such a happy event. I congratulate the Emperor and the Empress."

Bai Ruiji smiled and took the initiative to congratulate, and Yan Wan behind her also followed suit and bowed.

"Hurry up and get up! Thanks to you for discovering Shu Fei's pregnancy in time. You have done a great job. When the emperor gives birth to a heir, I will reward you handsomely."

The emperor personally stepped forward and helped Bai Ruiji up, his eyes burning with anger.

Bai Ruiji's congratulations were truly heartbreaking. The emperor's child was naturally the queen's child. As the legitimate mother, the concubines should naturally congratulate her on their pregnancy.

Ruyi is already 32 years old. I wonder what she feels in her heart when she sees the concubines around her getting pregnant one by one?

Bai Ruiji's face flushed under the stares, and she quickly acted shy as she pulled Yan Wan to leave. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I and Concubine Ling will not disturb you any longer. I've also made an appointment with Concubine Ling to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, and I'll share this good news with her so she can be happy too."

The Emperor nodded at this. It was normal for Concubine Mei to go to see the Empress Dowager on the second day after being crowned a Concubine. "Go ahead. I'll pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

"Yes, the concubine is retiring."

"Chen and concubine retire."

When Yan Wan walked out of the palace, she did not forget to look back at Ruyi's expression. After the emperor came in, his eyes were always glued to Bai Ruiji. He found it funny to see Ruyi's unhappy and lonely expression.

Ruyi, just get used to it slowly. There will be many more scenes like this in the future...

As soon as she walked out of the palace gate, the palace maids and servants at the door knelt on the ground again, and Yan Wan saw Jinzhong in the crowd at a glance.

I don't know why, but I felt hot when I saw his face, and I always thought of Meng Lang's scene last night.

Noticing Yanwan's gaze, Jinzhong winked at her while no one was paying attention, and then a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The theory of astronomical phenomena is confirmed.

This thought came to my mind.

There was a tacit understanding between the two of them that didn't require words. Yanwan knew what Jinzhong wanted to say with just one glance.

The smile on her face grew wider, her steps swayed gracefully, the tassels in her hair swayed with her steps, and she went to the Cining Palace with Bai Ruiji in a triumphant mood.

She has always been confident in Jinzhong's work.

When the two of them slowly walked to the Cining Palace, Fujia had been waiting at the door for a long time. After seeing them, he hurried in to report.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Mei and Concubine Ling are here."

"Let them in." The Queen Mother was in good spirits today. She saw the two of them put down the books in their hands and leaned leisurely on the pillow on the right.

"Your Highness the Queen Mother, I pay my respects to you. May you be blessed with good health and happiness."

"Get up, I already know about Shu Fei's affairs. Mei Fei, you looked very good last night. I was not wrong about you."

She looked at Bai Ruiji with admiration that was beyond words. She had thought that Concubine Mei had been devastated since the loss of her son, and that this pawn placed by the emperor's side was almost useless, but she had never expected that she could bring her such a pleasant surprise.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ruiji raised her eyes and looked at Yan Wan, then led her to the Queen Mother.

She spoke with a smile, her eyes full of admiration as she looked at Yan Wan. "This was all Sister Lingfei's idea. The pipa, the Qin Wang Pozhen Qu, and the butterfly were all purchased with the help of Sister Lingfei. I am not talented enough to meet the Empress Dowager's expectations, but today I formally recommend Sister Lingfei to you. She is very smart and thoughtful, and she will surely help the Empress Dowager achieve her wish."

Everyone in the Cining Palace is her own family, so Bai Ruiji doesn't need to pretend and can just say what's on her mind.

"I know that the Emperor's preferences are unpredictable, and relying solely on His Majesty's favor will not last long. Only the Empress Dowager is the master of the harem. I am willing to serve the Empress Dowager like a dog or a horse. I hope that the Empress Dowager will have pity on me and allow me to serve you!"

Following Bai Ruiji's words, Yanwan took the tea that Fujia was about to serve and knelt down to offer the tea to the empress dowager to show her sincerity.

The Emperor always suspected and feared everyone, even his bedmates. If she could get the Empress Dowager's help, her path to success would be worry-free.

Don't think she doesn't know that Ruyi also secretly threw herself into the arms of the Queen Mother and succeeded in becoming the Queen. But she became arrogant after becoming the Queen and forgot how she asked the Queen Mother for help.

Wei Yanwan is much more obedient and sensible than Ruyi. There is no reason for her to refuse something that is delivered to her door.

Yan Wan maintained the posture of offering tea, and the air was stagnant for a long time. When cold sweat unconsciously broke out on her forehead and she was almost unable to maintain the movement, a graceful voice with a hint of majesty suddenly came from above her head.

"Get up, I like smart people, you are very good."

The Queen Mother thought for a moment, and finally asked her to stand up. She took the teacup from her hand, took a sip, and looked at her with some admiration in her eyes.

From the moment she first saw Yan Wan curry favor with the Queen and win the position of Concubine, she knew this woman was no ordinary woman. Seeing that she was so sensible and knew who was the true master of the harem, the Queen Mother was very pleased.

The reason why she accepted Yan Wan was, firstly, that Concubine Mei and Noble Lady Qing were unable to win the emperor's heart, and secondly, that Concubine Shu was too greedy for love.

To put it bluntly, they were too stupid to help her at the critical moment. She just needed someone smart enough to help her hold on to the Sacred Heart.

Of course, she naturally knew that Concubine Ling had other intentions.

The Empress Dowager didn't care at all, because she could afford to give Concubine Ling whatever she wanted.

"I'm a little tired. I'll call you later if I need anything. Fujia, take the prepared rewards back to them and check on Shu Fei for me."

"Yes."

"Chen and concubine retire."
