Secrets of Yuqing Palace

After the enthronement ceremony, Yinreng and Wanyu went to the Qianqing Palace and Ningshou Palace to express their gratitude to Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager.

From today on, Wanyu is no longer an ordinary prince's wife, but a real princess consort.

On this day, inside Yuqing Palace.

Wanyu asked Xia He beside her with a somewhat anxious look.

"Xia He, are the imperial bean curd and two-color water chestnut cakes prepared by the kitchen ready?"

Xia He smiled and reassured him, "Master, don't worry, everything is ready."

"And the sweet milk tea that Concubine Mu has loved since she was a child is also ready."

"The weather is getting colder now. When Concubine Mu arrives, someone will bring it up."

Wanyu smiled and nodded, "You are still careful."

"It's so cold, so it's perfect for us to drink something hot. My second sister has loved milk tea since she was little."

"I wonder how Second Sister has been doing in Fourth Prince's backyard over the past year or so?"

Nanny Sun advised from the side: "Master, don't worry about Concubine Mu."

"Concubine Mu has been educated since she was young. She is also a concubine with a title, and you and the Guaerjia Palace are behind her."

"It won't be sad to be in the Fourth Prince's backyard."

"The concubine will be here soon. Master, please pay more attention to her."

Wanyu nodded, "Well, I hope so."

Soon a young eunuch reported that Concubine Mu from the Fourth Prince's backyard had come to Yuqing Palace to pay a visit to the Crown Princess.

Wanyu immediately stood up and said, "Xia Lu, go pick up Second Sister."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Soon, Xia Lu led Wanlin and Chuntao, who had been serving her closely since childhood, through the front yard to the main hall of Yuqing Palace in the back yard.

The curtain at the entrance of the main hall was lifted. Wanyu heard the sound and stood up from her seat.

The two sisters looked at each other, their eyes filled with longing and excitement.

Wanlin reacted faster.

She didn't even take off her cloak, but squatted down to salute.

"Your servant, the Fourth Prince's Consort, Lady Guaerjia, greets the Crown Princess."

Wanyu was shocked and her eyes turned red.

"two...."

Before she could finish her words, Nanny Sun beside her tugged at her sleeve.

"Please stand up quickly, Concubine Mu."

"Thank you, Princess Consort."

After Wanlin bowed politely, Wanyu greeted her warmly.

"Second sister, come and sit down."

"There's a charcoal fire burning in the room, it's quite warm. Xia Lian will take off the plush cloak from Second Sister first."

"Otherwise, I'll be sweating all over and feel uncomfortable."

Wanlin was still a little hesitant, as she was worried that she would put her third sister in trouble because of her.

Wanyu saw the look on her face and quickly said, "Don't worry, Second Sister."

"Everyone in the palace is my trusted confidant, no one will spread the news."

"Besides, we are sisters, and we are related by blood. This is not something that others can arbitrarily discredit."

Wanlin smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to Third Sister."

"Don't bother Xia Lian, Chun Tao is here."

Then Chuntao stepped forward with great tact and helped her master take off the thick plush cloak.

Wanyu urged Xia He who was standing beside her.

"Xia He, go and bring the snacks and milk tea prepared in the kitchen to my second sister."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Wanyu continued to instruct, "Xia Lian, take Chun Tao, who is with Second Sister, to the tea room next door to have some snacks and tea."

"You haven't seen each other for over a year, so I think you have a lot to talk about."

Xia Lian also squatted down and responded immediately.

Chuntao, however, held the cloak and looked at Wanlin hesitantly.

Wanlin said with a smile, "You three have always had a good relationship with the three maids around Third Sister since you were little."

"Now that we finally meet, just follow Xia Lian to the cubicle to talk."

"I'm here with my third sister, what are you worried about?"

Chun Tao immediately smiled and squatted down and replied, "Yes, I obey your command."

Nanny Sun understood that the two masters had something intimate to say, so she spoke with tact.

"Master, let me go see if Xia He needs any help?"

Wanyu smiled and nodded, "Go ahead."

After everyone left, Wanyu took Wanlin's hand with a look of concern on her face.

"Second sister, how are you doing in the Fourth Prince's backyard?"

"Did anyone give you any trouble?"

Wanlin sat down and shook her head.

"Don't worry, Third Sister. The Fourth Master values ​​rules the most. As long as I behave according to the rules, he won't easily embarrass anyone."

"Fu Jin wholeheartedly follows the Master's lead. Seeing that the Fourth Master values ​​rules, she follows suit, and will certainly not embarrass me for no reason."

Wanyu: "I naturally believe in my elder sister's rules."

"It's the Fourth Lady's place. Won't she cause you trouble?"

"Although she values ​​rules, your interests are always conflicting."

"Plus, she's the wife of a wealthy woman. If she really wants to make things difficult for you, you'll be in a lot of trouble."

Wanlin shook her head, "Don't worry, Third Sister."

"Now the wife has not yet had her period and is unable to serve the master."

"Even though she is a concubine, her position is not as stable as mine, so she doesn't have the confidence to act rashly now."

"and...."

Having said this, Wanlin's voice softened.

"Besides, I'm not pregnant yet, so I don't pose any threat to her, and she doesn't dare to take action."

"Now we can live in peace and harmony, without offending each other."

"The real conflict intensified when I was pregnant."

"By then, for the sake of her own status and the interests of her future offspring, she will most likely take action against me."

"But I'm not afraid!"

"So before this, the Fourth Prince's backyard was relatively peaceful."

Wanyu saw that her second sister understood everything and knew that she must have her own ideas.

However, she still warned: "Pregnancy and childbirth are very dangerous. If you become pregnant, please let me know immediately."

"As the Crown Prince, it's not my place to interfere in the Fourth Prince's backyard."

"But it's no problem to arrange a reliable imperial physician for you."

Wanlin smiled and said, "Okay, then I'd like to thank you in advance, Third Sister."

I felt a sense of emotion in my heart, as the little sister who had been with me since childhood had grown up.

Everyone knows that she is worried about her sister.

When Wanyu thought of pregnancy, she thought of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen and his concubine Li in the backyard who was quite fertile.

This person is a fertile woman who gave birth to three sons and one daughter.

So she looked at Wanlin and asked, "Sifu Jin hasn't slept with the Fourth Prince yet. I think Sifu Jin must be worried."

"Has there been no pregnancy in the Fourth Prince's backyard?"

Wanlin first smiled with an ambiguous meaning, and then nodded slightly.

"Now there is one, but it is still hidden."

"Anyway, I know it, but I don't know if Fu Jin knows it?"

She sighed and said, "If Fu Jin knew about this, I don't know if the child can be saved."

Wanyu asked curiously, "Someone is pregnant? Who?"

Wanlin extended her index finger, dipped it into the water in the teacup in front of her, and then wrote the word "Song" on the table.
