Everyone in the palace was sighing, thinking that the wind was about to change. It turned out that the harem was still dominated by Concubine Yang and Noble Lady Yi.

Concubine Rou never came to the imperial study again, and life seemed to have returned to normal.

Su Mei just does her own thing every day and takes care of Qiangwei at the same time.

"In a few days, my former maid Xiao Cui will be here. Just take care of her and make sure she gets well soon."

Qiangwei said guiltily, "Sister Su Mei, it's all my fault."

"Silly girl, you didn't do anything wrong. If you say so, then it's my fault. I didn't know that the jade pendant would cause such a disaster." Su Mei laughed.

Qiangwei didn't say anything, but it seemed that she still felt very guilty.

Su Mei blinked and didn't continue. Life was quite peaceful now. No one came to trouble her, and the baby in her belly was safe and sound.

After the emperor finished his work, he went to the queen's palace for lunch.

When I saw the squirrel fish on the table, I suddenly thought of that little girl.

"Your Majesty, everyone in the palace is wearing it now. The maid in the imperial study has served Your Majesty." The queen stopped there, she guessed that the emperor would take care of it.

Since such a rumor reached the Queen's ears, I think the rumor the little maid faced must have been unpleasant.

"Your Majesty, I have heard some of it, but it's all gossip between palace maids and eunuchs. I have already sorted out some of the gossip." Lai Fu replied hurriedly.

"Well, you did a good job." Qi Sihan thought for a moment and replied.

He did not clearly point out how to deal with this matter, but simply answered Lai Fu's words. On the one hand, it was also an instruction to the queen to suppress these remarks in the harem.

Secondly, he was still hesitating about what position to give her.

Thinking of getting back at her, Qi Sihan recalled that the mandarin duck heart pendant was still with Concubine Yang, so he decided to find a way to get it back as soon as possible.

When the emperor came back, the queen immediately ordered someone to do the job.

First, they arrested a few gossipy palace maids and sent them to the Ministry of Punishment to serve as an example to them.

Then, he sent someone to deliver some things to Su Mei as a sign of comfort.

Su Mei was having lunch when the eunuch from the Queen's Palace came.

These days, she always fed Qiangwei porridge first, and ate herself a little late.

The queen rewarded her with several sets of clothes, some jewelry, and a jade ruyi, saying that she was frightened and asked her to take good care of herself.

After Su Mei thanked him, she immediately put these things away, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Her current identity is just a little palace maid. Why did the Queen reward her with these things? She was probably just showing them off to others.

When outsiders saw that she received these rewards, they would inevitably become suspicious, thinking that the queen was intentionally favoring her, and subconsciously put her in the queen's camp.

The queen has always been frail and sickly, and she stays in her palace all year round. Except for the concubines who get up early to pay their respects to her, she is rarely seen.

The only two people in the palace who like to go out for a stroll are Concubine Rou and Concubine Yang.

One of these two people has a high position and a prominent family background. Even if one of them offends the other unintentionally, no one would dare to do anything.

The other is the emperor's favorite concubine. Even if she does something out of line, others dare not speak out.

As for other inconspicuous concubines, they mostly stayed in their own palaces, for fear that they would get into trouble if they went out accidentally.

Qiangwei was very happy, she was really happy for Su Mei.

"Congratulations, sister. The clouds are finally clearing and the moon is shining."

If the Queen is willing to honor my sister, and the Emperor likes her, there is nothing she can do even if Concubine Yang is very spoiled.

Su Mei smiled faintly, "It's not that easy."

Now that bastard emperor is still angry with her, he won't pay any attention to her for a while, so she has to think of a way.

Fu Hai came to Concubine Yang's palace and briefly informed her that the emperor would be coming over in the evening. He also brought her the jade artifact that the emperor had rewarded her with.

Lady Yang was very happy. She specially picked out a beautiful red Bohemian-style long dress to wear, and used a red iron stick to curl her hair, dressing herself up carefully.

Unfortunately, it was not made in modern times. Although this skirt was sewn according to her ideas, the needlework was still a bit rough.

These days, the emperor has been in a hurry every time he comes and goes, and he hasn't been affectionate with her for a long time. Today, Concubine Yang is trying her best to win over the emperor.

"My lady, you look so beautiful today. The Emperor will definitely stay. I asked about this specifically. Today is a good day. If my lady can conceive a dragon heir, wouldn't that be even better?"

Xi Que, Yang Meiren's personal maid, said in a flattering manner while fixing her hair.

When this was mentioned, Lady Yang suddenly remembered something and told Xi Que, "Bring me the contraceptive soup I made."

Hearing this, Xi Que anxiously advised, "My Lady, why don't you want to have children?"

In this palace, the Empress has the most sleeps with men, so she is the most likely to have children.

Everyone else is eager to have children, why doesn't the young lady in their family want one?

"Pregnancy and childbirth are very dangerous and troublesome. Moreover, women age quickly after giving birth."

Lady Yang gave a few simple answers. She knew that Magpie would definitely not be able to understand modern thinking.

So, she simply stated her thoughts.

These words just fell on Qi Sihan who was standing at the door. His face instantly became gloomy, and Lai Fu also took a deep breath.

This Lady Yang is really courting death. She said such outrageous words directly.

Seeing that Lady Yang was about to continue talking, Qi Sihan was really about to get angry, so Lai Fu had no choice but to bite the bullet and shout at the top of his voice.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Yang quickly drank the contraceptive soup and then went to the door to greet the emperor.

After a simple greeting, she imitated Concubine Hua in "Legend of Zhen Huan" and reached out to hook the emperor's waist belt, wanting to lead him into the house.

"Is Sihan thinking about Zhizhi tonight?"

"Miss Yang..."

The emperor stood still, his tone somewhat stern, and for the first time he addressed Concubine Yang by her title.

After Lady Yang released her hand, he continued, "I'm here to retrieve the jade pendant."

"What jade pendant?"

Lady Yang was startled and subconsciously asked the question even though she knew the answer.

The emperor had obviously lost his patience. He had originally wanted to ask Concubine Yang to return the jade pendant in a gentle manner, but after hearing what she said just now, the emperor didn't want to stay any longer.

"The mandarin duck heart pendant you took from the young palace maid."

"..."

When Concubine Yang heard this, she felt mixed emotions. The emperor came here late at night just for that jade pendant.

She stood there stubbornly, tears in her eyes, looking at the man in front of her.

In modern times, his behavior would be considered cheating, and he would be a scumbag who bullies his girlfriend just for the sake of two plus one.

The atmosphere was frozen for a moment. Lai Fu watched the emperor's expression grow worse and worse, and began to wink at Concubine Yang frantically.
