The chubby orange cat said with relief, "It's good that Hongtai has a mother like you. You have no family, so I'll find someone to help Hongtai with his third-day celebration."

Ye Lanyi: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

The name of the seventh prince, Hongtai, was decided.

With the Emperor's help, there's no need to worry about the third-day celebration.

Surprisingly, many members of the imperial clan praised the Seventh Prince for looking like the Emperor; I don't know how they could tell.

Perhaps it was because they knew the emperor liked it, so they said things that the emperor wanted to hear, and sure enough, the emperor was even happier after hearing them.

Ye Lanyi looked at the son being held in the wet nurse's arms.

His eyes are like mine, dark and bright, but his eyebrows are different from mine. He does look a bit like the emperor, probably because he is still young and his face shape hasn't fully developed yet.

When he grows up, he will probably have slanted eyebrows like Meng Hanfeng. Even at such a young age, you can tell that his nose is well-shaped. Both Ye Lanyi and Meng Hanfeng have high nose bridges, especially Ye Lanyi, who has an exotic look and a high, straight nose bridge. Later, people will only praise the Seventh Prince for looking like his mother and being handsome.

According to the original plot, the emperor should have lived for about six more years. Now that I haven't poisoned him, he can live for another five years without any problem. So there are still eleven years left. Ever since I decided to have a child and become the empress dowager.

Every time the Emperor came to dine, he would add spiritual spring water to the soup and tea. During the Emperor's pregnancy, he often came to visit and dine with him. In addition, he would drink tea with spiritual spring water when he came to Chengqian Palace. His health was well maintained, and he would live for another five years without any problem.

One longevity pill lasts for five years, and at most two pills can be given to a person, which would last for ten years.

Not only for his own sake, but also to express his gratitude to the Emperor for treating him fairly well over the past few years and for extending his life.

There are still 21 years left. By then, Hongtai will be 21. People in ancient times married early. Even if Hongtai were to marry a little later, he would be about 17 before getting married. After marriage, he could attend court. By 21, he would already have children. That would be about the right time.

The Seventh Prince's full moon celebration was a lively affair, and Ye Lanyi finally attended after completing her postpartum confinement.

Today is also the day of Ye Lanyi's investiture ceremony as a Noble Consort.

Su Peisheng: "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Consort Ning, née Ye, is virtuous and wise, and respectful and cautious in her conduct. In accordance with the Empress Dowager's benevolent decree, she is hereby conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort Ning. This is the imperial decree."

But it wasn't over yet; Su Peisheng produced a second imperial edict.

Su Peisheng: "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Consort Ning, of the Ye clan, is of gentle and virtuous character, and deeply admires me. Therefore, she is hereby elevated to the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner and granted the surname Yejia. So be it."

Ye Lanyi didn't expect that they would elevate her status, probably for Hongtai's sake, because her low birth would have a bad influence on the Seventh Prince.

From now on, I will call myself Ye Jialanyi.

Moreover, Ye Lanyi has no maternal family, so being promoted to a higher banner wouldn't have much of an impact; people would just think it's the emperor's favor.

The female protagonists are all given a higher social status, a different surname, and even a son.

Compared to the female lead herself, he wasn't that conspicuous, and it wasn't a good time for him to be too conspicuous anyway, so the female lead could act as a shield in front of him.

The main thing now is to raise Hongtai well. I believe that after taking the Enlightenment Pill, he will be smarter than the average person. In the future, I will stay quietly in Chengqian Palace. As the Emperor gets older, his paranoia will become more severe. Elevating me to the throne is also a way to balance things out. However, Zhen Huan is currently in the limelight.

Su Peisheng: "Your Highness, Consort Ning, please accept the imperial decree."

Ye Lanyi: "Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

Big Fat Orange: "Get up! Today is a good day for you and Hongtai."

Ye Lanyi: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Congratulations, Consort Ning."

"We are all happy."

The concubines, clutching their handkerchiefs, gritted their teeth and offered their congratulations.

Cheng Qiangong

The palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground.

Congratulations, Your Majesty!

Ye Lanyi: "Get up, everyone. Everyone in Chengqian Palace will be rewarded."

"Thank you for the reward, empress."

Ye Lanyi: "Mingyue, go and invite Physician Meng over."

Mingyue: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Meng Hansong walked in.

Ye Lanyi: "Everyone step back and bring the Seventh Prince over here."

"Yes, ma'am."

He pulled Meng Hanfeng to sit down and poured him a cup of tea. He usually added spiritual spring water to the tea he served Meng Hanfeng.

Thinking that another batch of fruit in the space had ripened, I thought I could have someone take some back with them.

Meng Hanfeng: "Congratulations, Your Highness."

The tone was slightly sarcastic.

Ye Lanyi: "..."

Ye Lanyi: "Take a look at your son."

Li Qingzhu came in carrying the child, and Ye Lanyi took the child from her.

The two wet nurses who cared for the Seventh Prince also used loyalty charms.

After buying the Enlightenment Pill and two Longevity Pills, I have 1100 points left.

I'll keep it for future use.

Meng Hanfeng shifted her attention to the children.

My heart has softened, and I'm no longer jealous.

Ye Lanyi handed the child to him.

The two sat together playing with the child, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Ye Lanyi: "I don't want to be chosen by anyone lately, and they'll prescribe me some nourishing medicine. I'll just say that my body hasn't fully recovered yet."

It's good to keep a low profile; I don't want to serve the emperor in bed, even though it's not me who does it.

Meng Hanfeng: "Are you alright?"

She hurriedly handed the child to Li Qingzhu and took Ye Lanyi's hand to take her pulse.

Ye Lanyi: "It's nothing, I just don't feel like serving the Emperor lately."

Because of his cultivation, his body was better than average, and he drank spiritual spring water every day, so he had already recovered.

Meng Hanfeng naturally had no objections and was happy. Although he didn't know how Ye Lanyi had managed to get the Emperor's favor, he still didn't want to see her spending so much time with the Emperor.

When you like someone, you will develop a possessive desire for her.

Li Qingzhu stood to the side expressionlessly. Although these were all matters of life and death, since she was following the Empress, she would remain loyal to the end and support whatever the Empress wanted to do.

Meng Hanfeng: "I'll send you some more tonics, all of which are from my collection or bought at high prices from outside. When you get back, I'll prepare some nourishing medicinal herbs for you. If you don't like taking medicine, you can add it to your food for dietary supplementation."

Although she knew that the palace had plenty of resources and that Ye Lanyi was favored and had everything, she still wanted to give her the best of everything.

Ye Lanyi agreed because she saw his sincerity.

Ye Lanyi: "Okay, come over here after the Emperor leaves tonight."

Understanding the implication in Ye Lanyi's eyes, she blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed with other people around.

Li Qingzhu... I don't exist, I treat you like air.

Meng Hanfeng responded.

He left Chengqian Palace to report Consort Ning's health condition to the Empress, and then the Empress went to tell the Emperor.

After that, I went back to the Imperial Hospital to prepare, and I will bring all the things I packed with me when I go home tomorrow.

I switched shifts with someone tonight, and I'm keeping an eye out for the Emperor's movements. I'm going to Chengqian Palace after everyone leaves, and I need to get back before the palace gates are locked.

Cheng Qiangong

Fu Ren walked in.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived."

Ye Lanyi got up and went out to greet them.

"Welcome, Your Majesty."

Big Fat Orange: "No need for formalities. Have you eaten yet?"

Ye Lanyi: "I thought Your Majesty would come today, so I waited for Your Majesty to dine with you."

Big Fat Orange: "Let's serve the meal."

The palace maids and eunuchs busied themselves preparing, and dishes were served one after another.

Having already learned from the Empress that Consort Ning was not fully recovered and could not serve the Emperor, and with Ye Lanyi saying she didn't want to spoil the Emperor's mood, he took Ye Lanyi's advice and went to favor someone else.

The Emperor would never wrong himself.

Once everyone left, Ye Lanyi sent someone to fetch Physician Meng, and also asked someone to prepare water for her bath.

For several months now, with such a handsome man right in front of me, how could I remain unmoved?
