"Hai Lan, do you know what I want to do?"

Nodding slightly, Hai Lan continued, "Sister, you know I don't want to get close to the Emperor at all."

"Having a child born into a royal family is not necessarily a good thing, and not everyone wants the throne of an emperor."

"Sister, you have done me a great favor by letting me adopt your child. Why wouldn't I want to?"

Hailan's voice was without hesitation, but Qingying only felt a little shocked when she heard it.

Ask yourself, if it were me, there is no way I would agree to such a thing.

I don't know what I did to make Hailan like this...

Totally devoted?

After a lot of thoughts, Qingying moved her mouth and finally spoke.

"Hai Lan, I didn't discuss this with you in advance. It's my fault."

"Sister, I understand you. It's hard to talk about things like this."

"But, sister, I do."

"But sister, will the emperor agree to this?"

Hailan's words left Qingying silent.

Yes.

Would the emperor agree?

I have discussed this matter with the Queen Mother, but it seems that the Emperor's wishes have not been taken into consideration at all.

Now that Hailan agrees, the Emperor...

Qingying wanted to respond immediately and tell Hailan that she didn't have to worry about the emperor's wishes.

Being too eager might hurt Hailan's feelings.

Qingying lowered her head and looked at Hailan holding her hand, not knowing how to respond.

Hailan was not in a hurry. She held Qingying's hand and added a little more strength.

"Don't worry, sister. This opportunity will come one day. Let's just plan it slowly."

"Hai Lan...you won't blame me for planning to have your child so early?"

Hailan smiled again.

Then he shook his head again and said, "If it weren't for my sister, how could I be where I am today? Not to mention the position of concubine, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to stay in this world."

"Sister, you saved my life. You are my only relative in this palace. I believe that you will not harm me or this child, so there is no need to say anything else."

Hailan was so determined that Qingying didn't know what else to say.

I could only nod and say, "Hai Lan, I will definitely remember this favor in my heart."

"Sister and I, there's no need to talk about this."

As Hailan finished speaking, footsteps were heard again.

They both turned around and saw the Queen Mother holding the little prince and slowly walking in.

Qingying stood up and said, "Empress Mother."

Hailan wanted to get up, but the Queen Mother stopped her by waving her hand, "You just gave birth to a child, you must not move."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

When she came up to them, the empress dowager glanced between the two of them and said, "Shupin, you have worked hard. The child is very healthy. The imperial physician has examined him and he is in good health. You don't have to worry."

Helping the Queen Mother sit down, Qingying smiled a little reluctantly, "Yes, with the Empress Dowager looking after you, the little prince will naturally be fine."

Seeing that Qingying looked uneasy, the empress dowager's smile slightly froze.

But there is no point to it.

He looked at Hailan and then asked, "Are you still feeling unwell?"

"Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. I am not feeling unwell."

"That's untrue. How can you recover immediately after giving birth? You don't have to hide anything in front of me."

His tone was gentle, with a smile on his lips, and he was very kind.

Hai Lan's heart warmed slightly, and she nodded again, "Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Please rest assured, with the midwife and imperial physician arranged by the Empress, I will be fine."

"Good boy, you have done a great service in giving birth to a child. It is only right that the Queen arranges everything for you."

The Queen Mother said something more, and finally placed the child next to Hai Lan with some reluctance.

"As a concubine, I am already able to raise the prince. And if I give birth to a child this time, I might even be promoted to a higher position, which will also save you and your son from being separated."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you have taken so much trouble for me. I thank you very much."

The Queen Mother said no more on the matter.

She stood up and said, "Seeing that you gave birth safely, I am relieved. Take good care of yourself after the baby is born. I will return to Shoukang Palace first."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am not feeling well and cannot see the Queen Mother off. I will trouble you, Your Majesty."

"That's fine, Hailan. Have a good rest."

Qingying tucked the quilt for Hailan again, then followed the empress dowager out.
