The emperor arrived, and the women in the harem also came over one after another.

This time, Hua Fei came quickly. She entered the palace as soon as the emperor finished speaking.

In front of the emperor, Concubine Hua was always respectful to the queen.

After Hua Fei paid her respects to the Emperor and Jian Qiu, the Emperor asked her to stand up, and Hua Fei stood up leisurely.

Seeing the emperor's pleased face, Concubine Hua felt a little sad, but still smiled and said, "I heard that the queen is pregnant, which is a great joy. When I heard the news, I came here to congratulate you without even changing my clothes."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "Shilan is thoughtful."

Hua Fei smiled sweetly and replied, "On the one hand, I am happy that the Empress is pregnant, but on the other hand, I feel deeply that I have failed the Emperor's grace. The Emperor has doted on me for many years, but I cannot bear a heir for the Emperor. I feel really guilty."

When these words were spoken, the emperor was embarrassed for a moment, and then some guilt appeared on his face.

The emperor glanced at Jianqiu and saw that Jianqiu didn't say anything, so he had to say, "I'm not in a hurry. Shilan is still young and will be happy one day."

Hearing this, Concubine Hua's eyes slightly reddened as she said, "I thought so too. Your Majesty the Queen has not been pregnant since she gave birth to the eldest prince. She is pregnant now. Is there any secret recipe for keeping a baby? If there is a secret recipe, you might as well share it with me. I will be very grateful."

Jian Qiu smiled in her heart and replied calmly, "I don't know why. The Imperial Hospital has records that I have never taken pregnancy-maintaining medicine. Maybe it's fate. Concubine Hua, please be patient and wait."

Hua Fei was full of disbelief, but she also knew that the Queen would never reveal the secret recipe. She just took advantage of the Emperor's presence to give it a try.

Even if she was given the secret recipe, Concubine Hua would not dare to eat it.

While the three were talking, Jingpin and others also arrived.

An Lingrong has also been favored recently and has become Concubine An. She also came here to escape the summer heat.

After everyone's congratulations, Jianqiu looked tired.

The emperor saw this and said, "You all may go away. I will stay here to accompany the queen."

Concubine Hua looked dissatisfied but didn't say anything.

After everyone left, Jianqiu went into the bedroom to take a nap.

The emperor also followed in and sat on the couch beside him, watching Jianqiu fall asleep.

Jianqiu had no psychological burden at all and slowly fell asleep.

There was no discomfort during the pregnancy. Just in case, Jianqiu even removed the fruits and vegetables from the hall.

Fortunately, with the help of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, nothing went wrong.

On New Year's Eve, the autumn cutting procession began.

After a night of hard work, a prince was born when the sun rose on New Year's Day.

The emperor held the newborn prince in his arms and said, "Let's call him Hongmin (min)."

When everyone heard this name, they all knew what the emperor meant.

When Jianqiu woke up, the first person she saw was not her son, but the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother held Jianqiu's hand and said, "Yixiu, you have lived up to your aunt's expectations. I don't have to worry about the glory of the Ulanara family anymore."

Jianqiu smiled and said, "Aunt, Hongmin will need your care in the future."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Don't worry."

Hongmin grew up safely to the age of twelve, but the emperor's health could no longer support him and he passed away.

The Queen Mother passed away a few years ago, and Hongmin was made the Crown Prince two years ago.

After the death of the previous emperor, Hongmin, as the crown prince, succeeded to the throne legitimately without any setbacks in between.

Jianqiu was a palace maid in her previous life and committed suicide at a young age.

In her next life, Jianqiu became the queen mother and lived a life of luxury.

Yixiu lived in the Ulanala Mansion until she was seventy years old.
