Listening to audiobooks can free your eyes.

Ask Mingyue and Mingsu to stew some bird's nest with some honey; it'll be perfect as a dessert.

After listening to the audiobook for a while, I felt a bit sleepy, so I took a nap and then got up to check on my precious son.

He picked up the soft and cuddly Hongtai and kissed his cheeks a few times.

Ye Lanyi: "Baby, I am your mother."

Hongtai: "Ahhh..."

He smiled, revealing a toothless grin.

It's so heartwarming to watch; children are always the cutest.

Ye Lanyi laughed, teasing the child, and used her mental energy to observe her surroundings. Her mental energy had improved a lot recently, and she could now see 150 meters away.

Seeing the Emperor heading towards Chengqian Palace, after thinking for a moment, he sang a nursery rhyme to Hongtai when the Emperor was almost at the entrance.

She hummed softly, her voice filled with boundless maternal love for her child.

A gentle smile played on her lips as she looked at Hongtai with eyes full of love.

Hongtai also opened his eyes and looked at his mother, watching her humming a song and grinning with curiosity.

The emperor, who had just entered Chengqian Palace, saw this scene and watched it quietly for a while.

Thinking of his mother, he felt a little envious of his son.

After finishing the song, he pretended to see the emperor.

Ye Lanyi: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

The emperor came over and personally helped her up.

"This is the first time I've seen you like this. Hongtai is fortunate to have you as his mother."

The guess is that the emperor must have thought of him, since the more unattainable something is, the more one desires it.

Ye Lanyi: "Your Majesty, I am so fortunate to have such a lovely son as Hongtai. Looking at him, I feel very happy."

The chubby orange cat was indeed more satisfied and stayed overnight at Chengqian Palace.

Meng Hanfeng arrived the next evening. He first said a few words in a sour tone, and then picked her up and carried her inside.

. . . .

Meng Hanfeng seemed to be venting his anger tonight.

Ye Lanyi felt helpless but accepted it well.

The two then fell silent.

Ye Lanyi: "You know perfectly well that there's nothing wrong with it?"

Meng Hanfeng: "I know, but I still feel a little uncomfortable. I don't want others to covet you."

Ye Lanyi patted his back to comfort him.

Meng Hanfeng was appeased.

As time went by, Hongtai was already four years old. Despite his young age, he was extremely intelligent and had a photographic memory. When Ye Lanyi read to him, he could memorize it word for word after hearing it only once, and he could also understand its simple meaning.

The Emperor was overjoyed when he found out and often took the Seventh Prince with him.

He planned to keep the Seventh Prince by his side and personally teach him.

Nothing particularly noteworthy has happened in the imperial harem recently.

The concubines in the palace would all come to Yongshou Palace to talk.

Ye Lanyi wouldn't go there, after all, she was a Noble Consort herself, so there was no need for her to go there specifically.

During a palace banquet, Consort Guo, a concubine of Prince Guo, mistakenly ate the soup of the Sixth Prince and was poisoned, giving birth to a child.

She gave birth and then died.

It was Jianqiu, who served the Empress, who poisoned Consort Xi in revenge.

Later, the female lead discovered that the Empress had harmed Empress Chun Yuan.

The emperor wants to depose the empress.

The Empress Dowager's edict preserved the Empress's position, but unfortunately she was confined to Jingren Palace and could never leave again; the Emperor and she never saw each other again, whether in life or death.

The Third Prince was tricked by the Fourth Prince into pleading with the Emperor for his Eighth Uncle. Coupled with the previous incident involving Consort Ying, the Emperor was both angry and disappointed in his foolish son who spoke up for someone he disliked. In the end, the Third Prince was deposed.

Without the Third Prince, the Empress had been sidelined, and the situation in the palace was turbulent.

Both of the imperial concubines had sons. Consort Xi even had an adult prince under her care. However, the fact that the emperor often kept the seventh prince by his side also showed his affection for the seventh prince.

The sixth and seventh princes were not yet old enough to move into the princes' quarters.

Fortunately, the emperor appeared to be in good health.

Consort Ning kept a low profile, while Consort Xi held absolute power in managing the palace.

The Emperor had once asked the two Consorts to manage the household together, but Ye Lanyi declined again, citing her preference for peace and quiet and her desire to focus on raising the children. The Emperor was very satisfied with Consort Ning, who was not competitive or arrogant and did not take advantage of his favor. He also liked Hongtai, who was intelligent and sensible.

Considering that Consort Xi had two sons in the palace, each of whom held immense power, in order to balance the harem, someone had to be found to check them. So Consort Duan and Consort Jing were asked to assist Consort Xi in managing the harem, thus dividing the power in the palace into three parts.

Afterwards, the Dzungar Khan Moge paid an audience with the emperor, and a banquet was held in the palace.

His attitude was arrogant and disrespectful.

He deliberately tried to intimidate people with his words, but Prince Guo defused the situation with his own words.

At the banquet, the Emperor asked Consort Xi to toast Mog. Consort Xi knew his intention and deliberately spilled the wine, which was extremely insulting. She also spoke sternly, trying to suppress Mog's arrogance.

Mogg devised another scheme, the Nine Linked Rings, intending to humiliate the Qing Dynasty for its incompetence.

In the end, Zhen Huan made Princess Longyue break the nine-linked rings.

Mog did not give up. Even after the grain supplies were burned, he set his sights on Zhen Huan again.

She deliberately stirred up trouble, making people think that Zhen Huan and Prince Guo had an affair, thus arousing the Emperor's suspicion.

This incident led the emperor to suspect that the two were having an affair.

The emperor then began to investigate the matter.

After all these events, the emperor had a clear understanding of the situation.

Tell Zhen Huan that Prince Guo must die, and ask Zhen Huan to send him on his way.

Finally, Zhen Huan appeared.

After that, the emperor will begin to doubt whether Zhen Huan's twins are his own.

Cheng Qiangong

Ye Lanyi and Meng Hanfeng were drinking tea and talking.

Ye Lanyi: "The harem has been rather chaotic lately, so you'd better come less often?"

Meng Hanfeng: Are you alright? Has something been wrong lately?

Ye Lanyi: "The Emperor's Blood Droplets have been frequently moving around the inner palace lately, so we still have to be careful in everything we do."

Meng Hanfeng didn't ask her how she knew, and just agreed.

The Emperor is no longer in dire need of health like in the original storyline.

Su Peisheng dared not easily betray the emperor.

The original plot was that Zhen Huan only had a chance because the emperor was in poor health.

The Emperor's health is still fine now; sooner or later, it will be found out who the Sixth Prince and the Princess's child is.

Ye Lanyi: "Siyuan is often by the Emperor's side now. He's still young, so I plan to tell him about you when he's a little older."

Meng Hanfeng: "Very well, I just hope you can all stay safe and sound in the palace."

Although I felt a little disappointed that my child wouldn't acknowledge me, I understood the current situation.

Ye Lanyi: "He'll be fine when he grows up."

Meng Hanfeng also looked forward to the day when he could be with her openly every day.

After a period of time.

Ye Lanyi had just finished lunch that day.

Fu Ren walked in hurriedly, his face filled with surprise and disbelief.

"Your Majesty, we have suddenly received news that Consort Xi has been demoted to commoner status and sentenced to death for some unknown reason. Her entire family has been exiled, and all the servants around her have been executed."

Ye Lanyi thought for a moment and realized that the Sixth Prince and the Princess's background must have been discovered.

I had expected this day.

Ye Lanyi: "Is there anything else?"

Fu Ren: "I heard that the Sixth Prince and the Princess have also suddenly fallen seriously ill and will not last more than a few days."

It seems the Emperor acted quite quickly.

The people in Chengqian Palace were incredulous that such a big thing had suddenly happened.

Li Qingzhu: "Your Majesty, how could Consort Xi have such a sudden accident, and even her family be implicated?"

Ye Lanyi: "The Sixth Prince and the Princess are probably not the Emperor's children."

Everyone stared wide-eyed, and upon reflection, it made sense. Otherwise, how could the prince and princess suddenly fall seriously ill? Such a serious matter, why didn't the emperor care? It was only after they discovered that the children weren't the emperor's that things became so serious, which explained the situation.
