However, Hongli smiled evilly when he saw her like that.

"It seems that Sister Qingying thinks that I am not working hard enough, so I will definitely perform well tonight."

Hongli said the last sentence close to Qingying's ear.

And that night, Hongli fulfilled his promise. Afterwards, Qingying leaned on Hongli's chest with contentment.

"Will Your Majesty come to visit me often in the future?"

"Of course, I will come back to see you when I have time."

In response to Qingying's question, Hongli, who had now entered the sage state, gave a perfunctory reply.

"The prince is so good to me"

However, Hongli, who had already fallen asleep, was unable to respond to Qingying's words.

To be honest, Hongli didn't really care whether Qingying gave birth to children for him.

After all, he now has an eldest son, a legitimate son, and Yonghuan, who can help him win favor in front of the emperor.

The rest of his sons were just icing on the cake for him.

However, since ancient times, the royal family has emphasized having many children and more blessings, so Hongli would of course be willing to have more sons.

Perhaps because Qingying was stimulated by Hongli's words during the day, she was not in a hurry to tell Hongli about raising Yonghuang despite being accompanied by him for the whole day.

And later, when Hongli came to Qingying's room every few days to fulfill his promise, Qingying felt that she might be pregnant and did not mention the matter of raising Yonghuang to Hongli.

If Hongli hadn't gradually grown tired of her, Hailan would have intercepted him and taken him to her room at least once out of every three times he came to visit her.

And after the court doctor examined her pulse, she still wasn't pregnant. Maybe Qingying would never mention this matter again.

However, before Qingying could find another opportunity to propose to Hongli, because of what she had done before, and after Fucha Langya found out the reason, no one concealed it for her and even "accidentally" publicized it a little.

The fact that Qingying disregarded the rules and seduced Hongli was heard by everyone in Changchun Xianguan within three days of the incident.

In Hailan's room, Ye Xin, who got the news, hurried in. Her panicked look made Hailan, who was concentrating on embroidering, and Shuying, who was sorting the silk threads for her, look at Ye Xin strangely.

"What's wrong with you? You're so irritable."

After taking back the embroidery needle that almost went wrong, Hailan asked with some dissatisfaction.

Because Ye Xin ran back to pass on the message as soon as she got the news, she was still a little out of breath at this moment. However, in order not to delay her master's business, Ye Xin did not rest and just explained the matter in a disjointed manner.

After listening to Ye Xin's description, Shuying immediately continued.

"I remember now. When I went to get breakfast that day, I seemed to hear Aunt Su Wen urging the kitchen to prepare quickly so as not to delay the prince's wife from paying respects to Concubine Xi."

Shuying's words made Hailan, who was still thinking about how to use this excuse to discredit Qingying, look over with some surprise.

"If Qingying does this, wouldn't she have offended both Concubine Xi and Fu Jin at once?"

"Yes, but I guess Concubine doesn't know about this either. Otherwise, she wouldn't be stupid enough to do this on that day."

Hai Lan nodded in agreement with Shuying's words.

After all, even if the emperor did not make public the things that Ulanara had done in the cold palace, everyone in the palace knew the truth.

Moreover, after Ulanara was sent to the cold palace, many of those who had been harmed privately sent people to take revenge on her.

Naturally, Imperial Concubine Xi, who had almost lost her child to Ulanara, also harbored hatred towards Ulanara. At the same time, she hated Qingying because of her hatred for her family.

It's just that the two of them didn't meet often before, so even if Concubine Xi didn't like Qingying, she was only a little cold to her when Qingying went to pay her respects during the New Year holidays.

Now Qingying actually dared to stop Hongli from paying his respects to her. Even if this was a trivial matter, Concubine Xi, who had a prejudice against Qingying, would certainly be dissatisfied with her.

After figuring out the key, Hailan calmed down her mind from wanting to intercept people.

"It seems that Concubine Xi is not very respected in the heart of our concubine."

Hailan squeezed the embroidery needle in her hand and a rare happy smile appeared on her face.

She knew that this matter must have been secretly released by Fu Jin to let them know. After figuring out the secret, Hai Lan turned to look at Ye Xin.

"Ye Xin, since this matter can no longer be concealed, let's help Fu Jin"

Qingying was unaware of the mansion's plan against Hailan.

She is now completely absorbed in the joy of being with Hongli, and in trying to find a way to talk Hongli into raising Yonghuan.

But before she could tell Hongli about what happened, she ran into trouble again.

After the greetings were over that day, Qingying, who was ostracized by all the other female relatives in the mansion and had no one to talk to, was just about to breathe a sigh of relief and go back to her room, but she was unexpectedly stopped by Fucha Langya.

"Sister Qingying, please stay. I will go to pay my respects to my mother tomorrow. Last time, my mother said that she hadn't seen you for a long time, so I specially asked you to go with her."

When Qingying heard Fu Cha Langya's words, her heart skipped a beat.

She knew that Concubine Xi had asked her to come over for no good reason, but since Concubine Xi had summoned her, she had no reason to refuse unless Hongli pleaded for her.

Now she could only hope to dream about seeing Hongli today, so that he would dare to save her tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Qingying's somewhat nervous expression relaxed a little.

"Yes, I understand."

Seeing Qingying's expression, Fucha Langya knew what she was thinking, so she turned the beads in her hand and said seemingly unintentionally.

"Alas, it's a pity that the prince said yesterday that he had to go back to the capital to handle some business, so he can't go with us to pay respects to mother."

The heart that had been let go was lifted up again. Qingying bit her lower lip, knowing that she would suffer tomorrow.

Seeing Qingying's pain, Fucha Langya couldn't suppress her anger anymore, so she had to cover it with a handkerchief.

"Sister, go back and prepare well. Don't forget to come early tomorrow."

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

Looking at Qingying's receding back, Fucha Langya finally smiled happily without any worries.

Qingying, who had walked out of the main courtyard, was feeling extremely nervous at this moment.

She also learned about this matter after meeting Hongli that day, but she had already intercepted the person, and soon people in the backyard would know about what she did today.

If he gave up this opportunity, and she wanted to sneak out again in the future, Fu Jin would definitely step up her search after this incident and would not allow it.

Moreover, she came here today without saying hello to Mrs. Fu, and she didn't know whether Mrs. Fu would punish her tomorrow.

If she missed this opportunity, she wouldn't know when she would see Hongli again, so even though Qingying regretted it in her heart, she still didn't let Hongli go.

So Qingying did not regret her mistakes. She was just worried about how she would face it tomorrow.
