"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Bai Ruiji was pulled by Hongli and followed him closely.

The voice of thanks was as weak as a mosquito or fly, but Hongli heard it clearly.

A smile appeared on his fairly handsome face.

He seemed very proud of having found such a concubine.

...

The Central Palace was vacant, and the concubines in the other palaces did not need to pay their respects on weekdays.

Hongli also deliberately sent word of the Southern Palace musician Bai's appointment as a concubine to Jingren Palace.

Qingying had Li Yu sent out and picked up a small dress that Hailan had just embroidered.

"Your craftsmanship is truly becoming more and more refined. Thanks to you, Yongqi's clothes didn't break."

As for what Li Yu said, that the emperor would arrange Bai Ruiji's accommodation himself, there was no need to rush.

Hai Lan was holding an embroidery frame in her hands. "Don't be ridiculous, Concubine Sister. The eldest prince is of noble status, so how could he be short of clothes?"

"It's just that my elder sister doesn't mind my clumsy embroidery, so she's willing to let my eldest brother wear these clothes."

Upon hearing this, Qingying put down her clothes, turned around and looked at Hailan carefully.

He stared at her until her face flushed red, then smiled and said, "Look at you, in terms of looks, among the harem, you're only slightly inferior to the Gao family, but your personality is completely different, Hailan."

"Do you know what would happen if you became the emperor's concubine but didn't receive his favor?"

Qingying's question made Hailan stop moving.

Then his hands suddenly began to tremble slightly, as if he remembered something terrible.

"Sister, sister, I..."

Hailan's lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Qingying sighed softly upon seeing this.

But there was no intention of stopping there.

She was relying on herself like this, so naturally she would be fine for the time being.

But who knows what the future will be like?

And today, the purpose is not just to lift someone up, to win favor...

"I know that even now, when you think of that night, you are filled with fear, but Hailan, do you really not want to leave a trace of your bloodline?"

Qingying's question made Hailan silent.

The concubines in the harem seem noble.

But only when you are in it, you will understand how difficult it is to live like being imprisoned day after day.

As Qingying said, life will never be easy for those who are not favored.

Although Hailan doesn't want to fight, it doesn't mean she is a fool.

On the contrary, she is very smart.

Naturally, she also knew clearly in her heart that since she was favored until now, if it were not for the care of the imperial concubine, she would have lived worse than a slave these years.

How can I not be grateful?

Let’s talk about offspring.

Just as Qingying said.

Since I am not seeking favor, then as a member of the harem, doesn't my lifelong hope depend on my children?

She is also a woman, how could she not care about this?

Even if the emperor is not the one for her life.

But children are children, and the emperor is the emperor. How can they be compared?

Seeing how cute Yongji was, Hailan had thought about this.

But over the years, she couldn't stop shaking whenever she thought of that night.

更…

Makes her sick.

But Qingying's words at this moment made her feel a little unwilling.

Why should I abandon my life and even my child just for a man?

"In fact, when it comes to matters between men and women, how can they necessarily be in love with each other? Putting aside other people, I think the Emperor is not the ideal man for you."

"But since we've already entered the palace, we no longer have any other options in this life. If we know in our hearts that this is all for the sake of the child, why should we care about anything else?"

Qingying spoke again, her voice slowly rising.

Upon hearing this, Hai Lan looked up at Qingying, her eyes full of surprise.

In her opinion, the emperor and the imperial concubine have been childhood sweethearts and have been in love for many years.

It is no less than the love between the emperor and the late empress.
