Before the end of the year, there was a howling cold wind outside and the whole place was covered with snow.

An Lingrong was curled up in the warm room, about to fall asleep.

Baoqin hurriedly lifted the door curtain and came in, and a cool breeze blew in, blowing away An Lingrong's sleepiness.

After An Lingrong opened her eyes, she saw Baoqin was a little anxious, so she asked, "What happened?"

Baoqin hesitated for a few times, and finally replied carefully: "My lady, Palace Maid Yun is pregnant."

Perhaps because she was not fully conscious yet, An Lingrong thought for a moment before she remembered who Palace Maid Yun was.

After helping Baoqin sit up, An Lingrong said, "Explain clearly."

Baoqin immediately replied, "My lady, yesterday, the maid Yun accompanied the emperor and she suddenly vomited uncontrollably. The emperor summoned the imperial physician to diagnose her, and he found out that she is two months pregnant."

Seeing that An Lingrong's complexion had recovered, Baoqin continued, "Because Palace Maid Yun was pregnant, the Queen Mother directly appointed Palace Maid Yun as a concubine."

An Lingrong asked in confusion: "Why would the Queen Mother interfere?"

Baoqi reminded: "Shen Meizhuang often goes to the Queen Mother's palace to pay respects."

An Lingrong thought: Yes, Shen Meizhuang was favored by the Queen Mother in her previous life, and it was just a little later in this life. However, palace maids were usually given contraceptive soup after serving the Queen Mother, so how did Palace Maid Yun, that is, Zhen Huan, get pregnant?

She also thought that Concubine Hua was useless and believed that Shen Meizhuang had framed her, so she often targeted Shen Meizhuang.

As a result, Shen Meizhuang took refuge with the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor became more fond of Shen Meizhuang.

Zhen Huan's pregnancy is no small matter. However, An Lingrong is not in a hurry, because there are too many people staring at Zhen Huan's belly.

The New Year's Eve banquet soon arrived, but An Lingrong did not attend the banquet because she was due to give birth in the next few days.

Before the New Year was over, An Lingrong went into labor on the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. After three hours of labor, she gave birth to the sixth prince in the early morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

After the emperor held the sixth prince in his arms, he saw that he was very healthy and immediately blurted out: "Lingrong has contributed greatly to childbearing, so she will be promoted to the position of concubine."

The Queen stepped forward again to stop him: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou was promoted to Concubine a few months ago. Isn't this promotion too fast? Concubine Cao gave birth to Princess Wen Yi a long time ago, but she is still a Concubine."

Concubine Qi also said bluntly: "Your Majesty, please don't let Concubine Rou's heart grow too big."

Just as Huapin Nian Shilan was about to speak, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Lingrong's family background is not prominent. She has gotten along well with the concubines since she entered the palace. She has never taken advantage of her favor to become arrogant. She deserves the position of concubine."

Seeing the emperor's determination, the queen said, "Since the emperor thinks that Concubine Rou deserves the title of concubine, I naturally have no objection. Concubine Cao is usually cautious and prudent, and Princess Wen Yi is already two years old. The princess's mother is not of a high rank, so it will have some impact. Why not take advantage of Concubine Rou's happiness and be promoted to concubine together? What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Princess Wen Yi was previously raised in Concubine Hua's palace, and the emperor often visited her. In addition, the Huanyi incense in Yikun Palace had somewhat harmed Wen Yi's health.

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Just as the queen says."

Concubine Cao immediately knelt down to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great grace, and thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The emperor looked at the Sixth Prince again and asked the wet nurse to carry him into the house.

Before leaving, he said to the Queen: "Give Concubine Cao the title of Shen."

Concubine Cao was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down to thank the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The Queen quickly agreed, Concubine Hua curled her lips and said nothing, while everyone else began to congratulate and compliment the newly appointed Concubine Shen.
