With four pregnant women suddenly appearing in the mansion, the other women felt this was their chance, and for a time, the air in the backyard was filled with the smell of medicine.

After the court session, Prince Yong returned to the front courtyard and received the news. He was overjoyed, but he did not expect that Nian Shilan was pregnant again. It was a bit complicated, especially since there were three pregnant women in Lanyou Courtyard, which had the Huan Yi Xiang fragrance.

Yongzheng thought for a moment. Ever since he indirectly killed his "child," no news had come from the mansion. As a Buddhist, he had always thought that he was being punished by heaven. Now that Nian Shilan was pregnant again, it seemed that heaven had forgiven him (actually, it was Su Yunyi, the Goddess of Mercy who gave him a child). His heart was in turmoil, and he really didn't know how to deal with Nian Shilan's pregnancy.

After thinking it over for a while, Yongzheng decided not to deal with the matter and to let nature take its course.

After a while, people from Lanyou Courtyard came to the front yard to invite him over.

The next day, Emperor Yongzheng returned to his residence and rested at Lanyou Courtyard, where he also bestowed gifts upon the other three pregnant women.

With Banlan's help, Su Yunyi got up, ate a simple breakfast, and, wearing low-heeled platform shoes, went to the main courtyard to pay her respects. When she arrived at the main courtyard, many people were already there, and soon everyone had arrived, even Nian Shilan was not late.

Yixiu sat at the head of the table and said gently and kindly, "This time there are four more pregnant women in the manor, and Your Highness and I are very happy."

“This time, three of you are pregnant for the first time. I have already discussed it with the Prince and, worried that the servants below might not be able to take good care of you, I will assign a few people to serve you.”

"Thank you, Madam." Fei Yunyan, Feng Ruozhao, and Su Yunyi stood up and bowed respectfully, while Nian Shilan rolled her eyes.

Then, Yixiu spoke again: "This time, four people are pregnant. Everything in the manor should be given to the pregnant women. If anyone else becomes pregnant, I, the Fujin, will reward them handsomely."

A dark glint flashed in his eyes as he looked down at Guo Gege and Li Jingyan.

Then Yixiu checked on each of the pregnant women individually before dismissing them.

Not long after, it was said that the "Imperial Household Department" sent over several maids and eunuchs for Su Yunyi to choose from.

"Half-Blue, let them in!" Anyway, she wasn't afraid. She had the system's potions. If she still failed, all these years would have been for nothing.

Su Yunyi sat at the head of the table. After a while, a nanny led in several pretty maids, all of whom were quite good-looking. Since she was pregnant and unable to serve the emperor, these maids were probably there to climb the social ladder.

Yi Xiu is always making people unhappy, and I guess the other two people she added are probably the same.

There was also a senior eunuch with several junior eunuchs.

Su Yunyi looked around for a while, then symbolically selected a cute-looking one with a round face and another who looked composed. She also selected two eunuchs, one of whom was very handsome and the other was quite ordinary-looking. She sent the rest back.

"Banqing, take the four of them down there." As she spoke, Su Yunyi and Banlan exchanged a glance.

After everyone left, Banlan picked up the potion from the small drawer and followed them out.

Less than half an hour later, Banlan entered the inner room.

"Princess, I have investigated thoroughly. The one with the cute appearance has no one behind him. The composed one is the Fujin's person, the two eunuchs, and the ordinary one is Consort De's person," Banlan replied respectfully.

"I understand. I didn't expect that both of them were someone else's pawns. Now they are both my people. The cute one will be named Qiulan, and the steady one will be named Qiuju. The little eunuchs will be named Jinbao and Yinbao respectively."

In the first few months of pregnancy, it was basically impossible to tell the baby's gender. Because of this, Su Yunyi lived peacefully in the mansion, except for the sarcastic remarks she received from various women when she paid her respects.

The other three weren't in such good condition. They had conceived using semi-finished drugs, and their bodies had been exposed to musk, so they weren't in particularly good health.

These past few months have been very painful during pregnancy, and their faces have become much thinner, but you can see the happiness on Fei Yunyan and Feng Ruozhao's faces. As for Nian Shilan, she fell in the second month of her pregnancy and is now resting in bed at Lanyou Courtyard.

Su Yunyi naturally stepped in to protect Nian Shilan's child; otherwise, she would have had no one to protect her.

It's been almost a year since she entered the Yong Prince's Mansion. Su Yunyi entered the mansion last April, and it's been three months now. She became pregnant last October, and it's been almost six months now.

Nian Shilan has been recuperating at Lanyou Courtyard, while Fei Yunyan suffered a miscarriage after a fall in February, so Feng Ruozhao is being even more careful.

She had already asked the system. Nian Shilan and Feng Ruozhao were carrying girls, while Fei Yunyan was carrying a boy. Yi Xiu was still ruthless. It seemed that Physician Qi had diagnosed it as a boy and then eliminated him. As for her, with the system helping to cover it up, even a divine physician probably couldn't have diagnosed it.

"Princess, why have you been craving sour foods lately? There's a saying that sour foods indicate a boy and spicy foods indicate a girl. Are you pregnant with a little prince?" Banlan asked, puzzled. She could also diagnose by pulse and knew it was a little princess. Even the imperial physicians in the palace had confirmed it was a little princess.

She had specifically tried to comfort the princess, but she hadn't expected that the princess's situation was completely different from reality.

"Maybe!" Su Yunyi said vaguely. A few days ago, when she went to pay her respects, Li Jingyan mocked her, saying that she didn't have the fate of a prince and had to pretend to be pregnant with one.

Emperor Yongzheng visited her several times. Because Nian Shilan and Feng Ruozhao had trouble conceiving and their babies were likely to be born weak and sickly, hers was probably the healthiest. He was quite disappointed when he learned that she was going to be a princess, but since there were too few children in the mansion, he didn't care.

"But even if it's just one little princess, it's okay. We can have another one next time. As the saying goes, 'The flower blooms before the fruit ripens,'" Banqing comforted her.

"You two are such chatterboxes." Su Yunyi smiled; she knew, of course, that they were trying to comfort her.

These past few days there have been rumors that Su Yunyi is pregnant with a princess, but Su Yunyi has released the news that sour foods mean a boy and spicy foods mean a girl, and that she likes sour foods.

"Jianqiu, make preparations for both possibilities. Only success is allowed; failure is not an option, regardless of whether Su Yunyi is carrying a princess or a prince," Yixiu instructed.

"Yes." Jianqiu bowed respectfully.

"What's going on at Lanyou Courtyard?" Yixiu asked angrily.

“Well… after the Prince learned that Consort Nian was pregnant, he ordered the removal of the Huan Yi Incense. After we arranged for her to fall, she stopped going out altogether, so it was really difficult to do anything about it,” Jianqiu said with difficulty.

“You told Qi Yuebin about the situation, but I don’t believe she would just stand by and watch Nian Shilan give birth to the child.”

"And what about Feng Ruozhao?" Yixiu asked meaningfully.

“Feng Gege rarely goes out except to pay her respects, and our people have dealt with her on the way. Who knew she wouldn’t fall for it? We even tried to tamper with her food, but unfortunately, it didn’t work,” Jianqiu replied cautiously.

(Of course you won't succeed, because the Goddess of Mercy, who grants children, can't allow this target to be harmed.)

"In that case, let's start during production."

"It is you, Madam. This servant will never let you down again," Jianqiu said firmly.

It was already May, and Su Yunyi was eight months pregnant. The saying goes that seven months is the most likely time to live and eight months is not, so Su Yunyi spent the last few months in Qijing Courtyard, usually taking walks in the small courtyard.

Yesterday she asked the prince for permission to allow her mother to come to the mansion to accompany her during childbirth when she is nine months pregnant.

"Princess, something terrible has happened! Princess Feng of Lanyou Courtyard has gone into premature labor." Banqing walked in.

"Banlan, prepare some things, you'll come with me to Lanyou Courtyard later." As she spoke, Su Yunyi prepared to tidy herself up a bit and put on a weak makeup.
