Concubine Qi sat down, holding up her skirt, and said with a smile, "I just learned that Sister Wanpin was pregnant, and I thought the emperor would be happy. Now that I have come to see him, he is indeed very pleased. I think it has been a long time since I have seen the emperor so happy."

Yinzhen fiddled with the jade beads in his hand, "Didn't you come here to congratulate your sister Wanpin? Why are you looking at me instead?"

Concubine Qi's expression paused, but soon she smiled charmingly again.

"Look at what the emperor said. Sister Wanpin is pregnant, so the emperor is naturally happy too. I have just congratulated Sister Wanpin in Jingren Palace. When I came into the palace, the emperor's dragon and yang energy was so strong and dazzling that I couldn't take my eyes off him."

Although this was flattery, it made Yinzhen laugh a few times.

"You are a very articulate girl. You make people laugh when you speak."

Yinzhen was laughing, and Zhen Huan also pretended to cover her mouth and smile, but that smile was not quite right.

Behind her, Huanbi looked at Concubine Qi and her eyes were filled with contempt.

Noble Lady Qi continued, "How can I be eloquent? I only speak from the heart. Your Majesty, please ask Concubine Wan whether what I said is true or not."

When Wanpin saw that the topic had turned to herself, she didn't know how to respond.

She just smiled and said, "Lady Qi serves the emperor, so the emperor naturally knows what my sister feels."

Changing the subject, calling out.

"Jinxi, bring the prepared tea over and let His Majesty and Concubine Qi have a taste."

Yinzhen nodded and looked at her, "What good things have you prepared?"

"Some crispy tea that replenishes qi and blood. I heard Doctor Wen talk about pharmacology before, so I asked Jinxi to write it down carefully. I thought I would ask the emperor to taste it when he comes."

Listening to Zhen Huan's words, Yinzhen smiled with satisfaction, "You are the most attentive."

What a beautiful scene of love between a man and a woman, it makes Concubine Qi feel that she is redundant.

But she was not afraid and went forward even though her face was hot.

"Thanks to the emperor's blessing, I am able to enjoy the feast as well. Unfortunately, I am not as attentive as Sister Wanpin. I can only work harder in serving the emperor."

It's so embarrassing to talk about sleeping with someone in broad daylight.

Zhen Huan covered her mouth with silk and then looked at Yinzhen's face.

Yinzhen just said calmly, "Each flower is different. If all the concubines in the harem are the same, then what's the point of me?"

He seemed to have long been accustomed to Lady Qi's temperament and spoke naturally.

But when Zhen Huan looked at him, she didn't seem as happy as when she first came to Sui Yuxuan.

Could it be that she didn't answer the question the emperor asked her just now?

But I can't think too much about it right now.

After tasting the butter tea, Yinzhen did not stay long, saying that he had important matters to deal with in the previous court and went back to the Yangxin Palace first.

Concubine Qi also took the opportunity to return to her own side palace.

Looking at Concubine Qi's departing back, Huanbi snorted.

"Your Highness, this noble lady Qi is so rude. Every time the emperor comes, she will find an excuse to pay her respects to you. It's obvious that she wants to see the emperor. Look at the shameless words she said to the emperor. She is really shameless and seduces the emperor!"

Zhen Huan listened with an upset mood, but she kept thinking about the reply she had just made.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Huanbi spoke again.

"Now that Concubine Qi has moved in, even Concubine Hui has rarely come to our palace. Whenever someone comes to our palace, she rushes in as if she has received news. It's really annoying."

Zhen Huan did not say anything to stop her, but Jin Xi spoke up.

"Miss Huanbi, please stop talking. If someone hears what you say, they will say that our queen is intolerant."

She warned Huanbi in a low voice, but she was also extremely confused.

She whispered to Zhen Huan, "It is strange that Concubine Qi and the Empress do not have a close relationship, but she specially invited the Empress to move into our palace."

"What else is there? It's obvious that he wants to use the Empress' influence to get close to the Emperor."

Zhen Huan frowned, "Is that so?"

She thinks it’s not necessarily...

A side hall of the Yiku Palace.

Li Changzai drove out all the servants and left Zhishu alone to serve her.

He slapped the table with his palm, causing the cups and plates beside him to shake a little.

She stood up angrily, "Why? Now that Concubine Wan and I are both pregnant, there is no place for me in front of the emperor!"

"My lady, didn't you see today how all the ladies and ladies were trying to curry favor with Concubine Wan? Now that she's pregnant, it's like they've got a gold nugget." Zhishu muttered aside.

"Of course she got a golden nugget. She is the emperor's favorite concubine, and I am just a concubine without even a title. Now that she and I are pregnant at the same time, who can still see me?"

Speaking of which, she saw that all the decorations in her simple palace and her side hall were in accordance with the regulations of the concubines.

It was not originally simple, but compared with the main hall of Concubine Hua, it was a bit dilapidated.

She was unwilling in her heart, and even a few tears welled up in her eyes.

"When Concubine Wan was pregnant, Concubine Hua sent her so many good things, but when I got pregnant, she sent me away with a pair of broken chopsticks!"

Zhishu echoed, "Yes, young lady, if you had told the emperor earlier that you were pregnant, maybe you could have made him happy and you would have been promoted to a noble, so why would you have fallen to this point?"

But no matter how unwilling Li Changzai was, he understood it.

"My dear, my family is not prominent. If I give birth to a prince, it is possible. But if it is just a princess..."

She lowered her head and looked at her belly, her brows full of worry.

Zhishu didn't understand, "My lady, if it's a prince, that's fine, but if it's a princess, it's still worth a lot of money!"

"A body worth a thousand gold and jade? That's just an appearance. As a daughter in an imperial family, if she doesn't have a mother who can make her proud, her fate will be miserable. Look at Concubine Xin, she also has a daughter, but she's not a Concubine yet."

After hearing what she said, Zhishu finally understood and became flustered.

"Well, what can we do about this? However, my lady is favored by the Emperor. I think the Emperor will love her very much."

Li Changzai shook her head and sighed, "Being favored is only temporary. Only if you give birth to a prince can you be safe."

Zhishu's brain was working furiously, and suddenly he had an idea.

"Hey, young lady, when I was in the countryside, I heard that there is a good recipe for giving birth to a boy. If I get it, maybe I can really give birth to a boy."

Li Chang was suspicious, "Can this thing be real? And Concubine Hua has given me a lot of prescriptions, do I need to use more?"

Zhishu whispered, "That recipe is real. I have seen it with my own eyes. Many families have used this recipe and have given birth to sons in their lifetime."

Hearing this, Li Changzai couldn't help but feel moved.

But the question is, “How can we get it?”

Zhishu thought for a moment and said, "This is easy. I will have someone pass a message to the Li Mansion and ask the lady to look for the young lady. Maybe she can find it."

"Okay, do it quickly."
