Film and television actress, she has many children and good fortune

All the people in the harem had to attend the palace night banquet, but An Lingrong was in poor health and did not need to go. Yongzheng came to the Yanx Palace once after court and saw that An Lingrong looked well, so he invited her.

Lian Qiao came in with a wooden tray of new clothes and looked at the young lady sitting on the edge of the bed: "Young lady, I went to the embroidery workshop to get the newly made clothes. You can try them on now to see if they fit you. If they do, you can wear them to the night banquet in the palace."

Ever since An Lingrong became pregnant, Lian Qiao was the one who went to the kitchen or the embroidery workshop. Lian Qiao would only bring her back to the Yanxi Palace after checking that there was nothing wrong with her.

It would be good to go and take a look. An Lingrong also wanted to know, without the prayers that Zhen Huan recited in Yimei Garden, such as "The wind blows but I understand your feelings, and please don't destroy me easily", she wondered if the emperor would still take the palace maids from Yimei Garden into the harem.

Yanqing Hall

Jixiang: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang has used a lot of musk. Even if the fetus is kept alive until full term, she won't be able to give birth to a healthy prince. Why would Your Majesty risk offending the Queen to help Concubine Xiang?"

If the Queen knew about this, Your Majesty's life would probably be even more miserable.

Concubine Duan: "Wen Yi was also fumigated with musk, but still was born to Concubine Cao. Maybe An is lucky enough to give birth to a prince."

She is not the only concubine in the harem who has no children. At any time, all eggs should not be put in one basket. What's more, Wen Yi has a biological mother. Concubine Cao is quite scheming and has the support of the Nian family behind her. She also has a motherly heart towards Wen Yi. As long as Concubine Hua is still standing, she will not be able to plot against Concubine Cao and raise Wen Yi.

In comparison, Concubine An's family background is not prominent, and she has no one to support her. The fetus in her belly is very likely to be a boy, so it would be easier to adopt Concubine An's child.

For the palace night banquet, An Lingrong brought Lian Qiao, who knew medicine, but the emperor, empress and Concubine Hua had not arrived yet.

These three were the last to appear.

Fang Chunyi arrived early.

Chun Changzai: "Sister Xiang is well."

An Lingrong: "My sister is well."

The two men greeted each other.

Chun Chang looked at An Lingrong's belly eagerly: "Sister Xiang, Chun'er can I touch the dragon fetus in Sister Xiang's belly?"

An Lingrong: "Of course."

Chun Changzai touched it carefully.

Lian Qiao reached out and gently pulled An Lingrong, and An Lingrong gave her a reassuring look.

An Lingrong was blessed with the skills of Yixiu from her previous life, 'medical science' in this life. Her original body also knew 'spices' and had a sensitive nose. Whenever Chun Changzai approached her, she could smell the musky scent emanating from Chun Changzai's body.

"My sister smells so good."

"But I don't have any incense." Chun Changzai looked up in confusion, raised his sleeves and sniffed hard, and indeed he smelled a fragrance.

Chun Changzai was only fourteen years old, but she was so scheming. However, An Lingrong thought that she didn't seem to be acting. It seemed that she really didn't know that the fragrance emanating from her body would harm the baby in her belly.

Chun Changzai: "I know, this fragrance comes from the string of beads that the Empress gave me, but it's still not as fragrant as the peach scent on Sister Xiang. Today I finally understand why the Emperor gave Sister the title of Xiang."

It was musk beads again. The musk beads that the empress awarded to the concubines were also musk beads, but those were worn around the neck, while Chun Changzai wore them on the hands.

It seems that the queen bestowed musk beads on all the concubines of the Manchu army banner, but Chun Changzai is not old enough to serve in the emperor's bedchamber. After tonight's New Year's Eve, she will only be fifteen years old. Why is the queen so wary of her?

"I have some pastries here, please have some, sister." An Lingrong knew that Chun Changzai was a foodie, so she thought of giving her a plate of pastries to get rid of her.

"Chun'er thanks Sister Xiang." Chun Changzai happily returned to her seat with the snacks.

Lian Qiao lowered her voice and whispered in An Lingrong's ear: "My lady, I think Concubine Chun is a naive person. It doesn't seem like she knows that the beads on her wrist contain musk."

An Lingrong: "Maybe."

An Lingrong really couldn't understand it. If you say Chun Changzai was scheming, she died so miserably in the drama. If you say Chun Changzai was not scheming, Chun Changzai knew that she was trying to curry favor with the emperor, Zhen Huan, so she deliberately mentioned her adulthood and successfully got the emperor to turn her over.

It's quite contradictory. If I didn't have a prophet who was familiar with the plot and a system cheat, it would be really difficult for me to survive in this harem.

Lian Qiao: "My lady, you'd better be cautious today."

Ever since Chun Changzai approached An Lingrong wearing the musk beads, Lian Qiao looked at anyone who wanted to approach the young lady with a wary look on her face.

"Yeah!" An Lingrong responded softly.

It was rare for Concubine Duan to attend such occasions.

An Lingrong looked at Concubine Duan, the sickly Concubine Duan who had secretly protected her baby and helped her ward off many disasters.

She should be thanking Concubine Duan, but An Lingrong really hates people like Concubine Duan who can't have children herself but always stares at other people's bellies.

In order to get Wen Yi, she even conspired with Zhen Huan to plot against Concubine Cao and kill her biological mother. It is inevitable that Concubine Duan, who is hiding in the dark, would have such thoughts about herself and kill the mother and keep the child when she gives birth.

This is very consistent with the character of the ruthless Concubine Duan. An Lingrong finds anyone who wants to touch her annoying.

Considering that Concubine Duan is still useful and can protect her from disasters, An Lingrong decided to keep Concubine Duan for the time being.

Concubine Duan walked towards An Lingrong, and An Lingrong stood up with a smile: "Greetings, Concubine Duan, good luck to you."

Concubine Duan: "Sister An is in poor health, so there is no need to be so rigid about these empty formalities."

When Concubine Duan entered the table, she reminded her: "Sister An, when you come to such an occasion, you should be careful in everything you do."

An Lingrong: "Lingrong thanks Concubine Duan for your advice."

The closer it got to the night banquet, the more concubines came.

The first to arrive was Concubine Xin, who sat next to An Lingrong.

Xin Changzai: "Time flies so fast. It's been less than a year since you entered the palace, and you're already five months pregnant. I'm really envious."

Before she gave birth, the emperor gave An Lingrong the status of a noble lady. If she gave birth to a dragon baby in her womb, and it was a prince, she would definitely be the mistress of the palace.

Unlike me, after giving birth to a princess, I was still just a concubine.

An Lingrong: "My sister's Princess Shuhe is so smart and clever that Lingrong envies her. Lingrong dreams of giving birth to a little princess as beautiful and clever as Princess Shuhe."

Speaking of Princess Shuhe, Xin Changzai was also very happy, but they had few opportunities to meet and could only see each other once a month.

An Lingrong actually likes this Concubine Xin who speaks her mind.

This person was also unlucky. She became pregnant when the emperor ascended the throne, which should have been a happy event. She also gave birth to a princess, so she should have been promoted to the position of the head of the palace. However, Concubine Xin was unable to keep the fetus in her womb, and the pregnancy was aborted when the emperor ascended the throne. The ancients were superstitious, and the narrow-minded emperor thought it was unlucky, so he only conferred the title of Concubine Xin.

Next came Shen Meizhuang, who was at the peak of her popularity and was running back and forth between the Queen and Concubine Hua's palace to learn how to manage palace affairs, and the two sisters Zhen Huan, who were favored by the emperor, all arrived at the same time.

Shen Meizhuang went to Concubine Hua's palace many times and smoked the Huanyi incense with Concubine Hua, which achieved a long-term contraceptive effect. She was able to have Princess Jinghe with Wen Shichu. It was thanks to Imperial Doctor Wen who took care of Shen Meizhuang for many years that she recovered her body and got pregnant in one go.

In this life, without Wen Shichu, no one would tell Shen Meizhuang that she had inhaled too much musk, and no imperial physician would be so nosy as to expel the remaining musk from Shen Meizhuang's body, so she wouldn't get pregnant.

Concubine Hua arrived and made a few sarcastic remarks to Zhen Huan, but Zhen Huan retorted sharply.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived." Following Su Peisheng's voice, the people in the hall stood up and bowed.

"May the Emperor be well and may the Empress be blessed."

"Today is a family dinner, don't be restrained."

Yongzheng walked into the hall, sat down and looked around.

His eyes fell on An Lingrong.

Seeing An Lingrong chatting in a low voice with Xin Chang, he turned his gaze to Prince Guo.

An Lingrong has heard the classic lines between Yongzheng and Prince Guo countless times, but she never gets tired of it. Listening to them live is much more interesting than in the drama.

Led by the Queen, all the concubines said words of celebration and congratulation. Yongzheng drank a few more glasses and was attracted by the plum blossoms in the vase on the table. He stared at the red plum blossoms on the table, thinking of his Chunyuan again.

Yongzheng: "The plum blossoms in Yimei Garden are in bloom. I will go and take a look."

She specifically ordered that no one was allowed to follow, but the Empress was worried about the Emperor being alone, so she allowed Prince Guo to follow.

An Lingrong also withdrew. In fact, her table had been tampered with, and there were few dishes that a pregnant woman like her could eat.

An Lingrong left, and the Queen glanced at An's table with an unpleasant expression and didn't move much.

This An is really difficult to deal with.

The next day, An Lingrong heard that the emperor favored a palace maid from Yimeyuan.
