Su Yunyi didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day.

The moment Su Yunyi woke up, Banlan, who was watching over her, noticed and quickly handed her a glass of water.

"Princess, you're finally awake. Before you fell asleep, the Prince promoted you to the rank of concubine."

I didn't react much when I heard about it.

"How are the two midwives doing?" Su Yunyi asked.

"Those two people were taken away by the Prince, and Eunuch Su has already been sent to investigate." Banlan knew what the princess was concerned about.

"Have you found out about that ginseng soup?" At that time, the situation was urgent, and Su Yunyi was in the critical moment of childbirth. She gave Banlan a look, asking her to investigate secretly and see who was behind it.

“There was indeed a problem with the ginseng soup that the princess drank before. I found out that one of the herbs in the princess’s ginseng soup was soaked in medicine that would cause postpartum hemorrhage in women.”

"Then we checked the other people who bought the medicine and found that none of them had any problems."

"However, I did have Zhao Shun go to the herbal medicine shop to take a look, and he discovered that the people from Qiuya Courtyard were in contact with the shopkeeper who purchases herbal medicine for the manor," Banlan said seriously.

"Qiuya Courtyard? Is it one of Qi Yuebin's people?" Su Yunyi's expression turned serious.

"Yes, the shop assistant at the herbal medicine shop used the medicine you gave me, and within half an hour, he confessed that it was done by Qi Gege's people," Banlan said angrily.

“Gege and Qi Gege have absolutely no conflict, they've never even met. I never expected her to target Gege. You can never judge a book by its cover.” As she spoke, Banlan regained her usual composure.

"We'll talk about this later. It's better to let her live than to die. She's living a life worse than death. By the way, how is Nian Shilan?" Su Yunyi didn't mention Qi Yuebin anymore. Her relationship with Nian Shilan was already ambiguous, and now that Nian Shilan was pregnant again, she was probably going through a lot of inner turmoil.

Unfortunately, Su Yunyi was not one to sit idly by and wait for her fate. She planned to give Qi Yuebin something to do and tell the people of Lanyou Courtyard about Nian Shilan's difficult childbirth, saying that it was Qiuya Courtyard who did it.

Let the two of them fight it out.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Consort Nian has not yet given birth. They say she is having a difficult labor at Lanyou Courtyard," Banlan replied cautiously.

"Keep a close eye on the young prince here, and remember to give the medicine to the wet nurse," Su Yunyi instructed.

"Yes, the servant knows."

Sure enough, Nian Shilan gave birth to a princess late the next night. Due to the difficult labor, Nian Shilan's health was damaged, and it was estimated that she would have difficulty conceiving again. Moreover, the little princess was very weak because she had been holding it in for a long time, and she needed to take medicine as soon as she started breastfeeding.

However, compared to her previous life, she thought Nian Shilan would be willing. Having a child would probably make her less attentive to Yongzheng. Women in ancient times only had a few things to do for amusement, and having a child at least gave them something to look forward to.

After giving birth, Feng Ruozhao moved to Zhuxia Courtyard, where she would usually stay after paying her respects to the sickly little princess.

"Princess, why aren't you paying attention?" Ruyi said worriedly.

“Look at Lanyou Courtyard and Qijing Courtyard, our little princess is almost forgotten by the prince!” Hanzhu added.

“Yes, we didn’t have a third-day celebration before, but we had a small one for the full-month celebration,” Ruyi said unhappily.

Feng Ruozhao sat on the couch, leisurely embroidering the clothes of the eldest princess.

"What's the big deal? I won't compare myself to them. As long as the eldest princess is here, I feel at ease. You all know the situation in the manor," Feng Ruozhao said calmly.

"But..." Ruyi wanted to say something more, but Hanzhu tugged at Ruyi's clothes and shook her head.

Feng Ruozhao said with a smile, "Is the eldest princess about to wake up? Quickly bring her here!"

"Princess, yesterday the Prince dealt with all the servants of Qiuya Courtyard." Banlan brought the latest news into the inner room.

After giving birth, Su Yunyi has been in postpartum confinement.

Actually, she didn't need it at all. The system had already repaired her body, and she could now jump around freely. Especially in July, when it was unbearably hot during her postpartum confinement, she asked the system for a body cooling device, which made her feel much better, except that she couldn't take a shower.

"What's going on?" Su Yunyi really didn't know what was going on.

"It's said that Consort Nian had a difficult childbirth because of a maid, who seems to be related to Qiuya Courtyard. However, the Prince doesn't seem to have been able to find out if it's related to Consort Qi. But Consort Nian made quite a scene, so the Prince dealt with the servants of Qiuya Courtyard," Banlan said.

"It's a dubious matter, but I think it's most likely Qi Yuebin who did it, with the Fujin (principal wife) also pulling the strings behind the scenes," Su Yunyi analyzed.

"These are not matters for us to concern ourselves with. Banlan, go and give some of the servants in Qijing Courtyard a warning. Don't get too cocky," Su Yunyi said calmly.

"Yes, Princess, I'll go right away." Banlan walked out of the inner room.

When the people in the manor learned that four women were pregnant, only Su Yunyi was lucky enough to give birth to a little prince, it caused quite a stir among them.

Recently, the mansion has been filled with people singing, dancing, and making soup... all in an attempt to win the emperor's favor.

Unfortunately, Emperor Yongzheng has been quite busy with affairs of state recently and doesn't come to the inner courtyard often. Even when he does come, it's only to see the children: the Third Prince, the Sixth Prince, the Eldest Princess, and the Second Princess.

Sure enough, half a month later, Yongzheng stopped investigating the issues concerning Nian Shilan's maids and Su Yunyi's midwife. Su Yunyi already knew who the real culprit was, and now was not the time to settle scores.

In July of this year, Emperor Yongzheng was quite busy and did not have time to go to the Yuanmingyuan Garden to escape the summer heat, so he held a small celebration for his youngest son's third-day celebration.

By the end of July, Yongzheng had finally finished his busy schedule. This time, the full moon celebrations for the Sixth Prince and the Second Princess were held together, and surprisingly, Nian Shilan did not cause any trouble about it.

Through the system, Su Yunyi learned that the Second Princess had not been doing well for the past month, falling ill every two days, and the imperial physician was almost moved to Lanyou Courtyard.

On the contrary, the Sixth Prince looks healthy, and he changes every day.

On the day of the Sixth Prince's full moon celebration, Su Yunyi took a refreshing bath and dressed as pure and elegant as ever, wearing a light blue cheongsam, an orchid hairpin and earrings, and a jade bracelet on her wrist.

As expected, Su Yunyi's appearance aroused the jealousy of the women in the backyard. Her face carried a touch of allure, a blend of desire and innocence, making her irresistible to most.

Although the full moon celebration was held according to the little prince's birthday, Nian Shilan did not appear. She had a difficult childbirth and needed to stay in bed for two months. The second princess came out for a while and then returned to Lanyou Courtyard.

At the full moon celebration, the Sixth Prince was given the name Hongxi, which immediately made all the women in the backyard extremely jealous. This was a unique case, as neither the eldest nor the second princess had been given a name.

That evening, Yongzheng stayed at Qijing Courtyard.

Su Yunyi has her own plans. Her father should have already discussed hybrid rice with Yongzheng. The two of them should have a plan, since the harvest season is approaching and presenting the finished product at that time would be more convincing.

It is now the 56th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, and the Yongzheng Emperor will ascend the throne in five years.

She planned to conceive and give birth to her second child in the first year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign, so that the interval between her first and second pregnancies would not be too close or too far.

In this feudal society, having the Sixth Prince ascend the throne was a good option, allowing her to focus more on educating her children.

Once the second child is born, she can let the Sixth Prince educate her, and then she can be a hands-off parent. Just thinking about it makes me happy.
