"Sister, Shupin is afraid that someone will harm her child, so she is waiting until the pregnancy is stable before telling you." Hailan guessed as she looked at Yihuan's happy face.

"The fetus is unstable in the first few months and accidents are easy to happen. We have to take good care of it to prevent people from having bad intentions." Ruyi picked up the wine glass in front of her with two fingers, and her armor scratched the velvet cloth on the table, leaving a mark.

She drank the wine in the cup and said, "Yihuan values ​​her child with the emperor, so it's normal for her to be cautious."

Ruyi's face was tense again. She sat there straight like a log. She glanced at Yihuan out of the corner of her eyes, but looked elsewhere. No one knew what she was thinking.

Hai Lan knew that her sister liked children and was looking forward to it, so she comforted her, "Sister, you are in your prime, and you have a deep relationship with the emperor. You will definitely have your own children."

Hai Lan hadn't said half of what she wanted to say, which was that it didn't matter if she didn't have a child with the emperor, Yongqi was their child.

She will always stay with her sister, and Yongqi must always respect and protect her sister.

"Yihuan, how come you only found out about the pregnancy after three months?" Yanwan asked with some concern, "You are too careless. If you weren't feeling unwell, would you have waited until the baby was born to find out?"

"It's my fault." Yihuan lowered her head and smiled. "I heard you say before that being anxious was counterproductive. The imperial physician often came to check Ping'an's pulse. Every time I was anxious, I always wondered if I was pregnant, but I never was."

"That's why I didn't let the imperial physician come. I just found out about this today." Yihuan sighed softly, with a bit of embarrassment on her face. It was really wrong to be so negligent.

"Fortunately, I don't drink alcohol on weekdays, otherwise it would affect the health of the child." Yihuan stroked her belly, her smile full of maternal love.

"You should be thankful. You must be more careful in the future." Yan Wan warned, "My sister and I have already agreed that I will go to your palace tomorrow to take a look and throw out all those dirty things."

"Okay, all is up to you." Yihuan said obediently.

*After three rounds of drinks, the Queen Mother went back to rest early. According to custom, the Emperor would naturally go to accompany the Queen and the Seventh Prince today.

This time, no one made any mistakes that would displease the emperor, so everyone looked happy. It was the New Year, and all six palaces received rewards from the emperor.

There was no sadness on anyone's face, only smiles of joy.

Ruyi walked towards Yihuan. Although they had no interaction at the moment, she thought she should congratulate him.

When Yihuan saw Ruyi coming, she immediately stood up and was about to leave. Bai Ruiji called her aside, "Hey, Yihuan, why are you in such a hurry? Yanwan and I will take you back."

Yan Wan also nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Yes, yes."

Yihuan sighed, stared at the two people, and slowly exhaled.

Yan Wan was still wondering why she was in such a hurry all of a sudden, whether there was something important, when she heard a beautiful voice in her ears, "Yi Huan."

Yanwan's expression was now exactly the same as Yihuan's. They both looked at each other, feeling somewhat helpless.

It’s Ruyi who is here.

"Greetings to Concubine Xian." The three of them bowed to Ruyi.

Ruyi smiled appropriately and nodded slightly. She felt comfortable in her heart and her eyes swept over Wei Yanwan.

No matter how unruly you are, don't you still have to obey the palace rules?

"I haven't congratulated you yet. After so many years, you finally got what you wanted." Ruyi nodded to Yihuan with an elegant smile.

"Thank you, Concubine Xian." Yihuan didn't want to talk to Ruyi, so she said perfunctorily.

Ever since she tried to dissuade Concubine Xian from saying bad things about Yan Wan, Concubine Xian's manners have become worse and worse than before. Whenever she sees Yan Wan, she would make sarcastic remarks about her, which is really unreasonable.

And no matter how Yihuan talked to her, it didn't make any sense. Concubine Xian was so deaf that she kept thinking that everything was Yanwan's fault.

Yihuan was so lazy that she didn't even bother to be polite to her. She was really afraid that if she said something, she would think that it was Yanwan who taught her that.

I am not a three-year-old child who can tell right from wrong. Yihuan thought to herself, Concubine Xian, she has been criticized several times, but she always comes over, how annoying.

Ruyi pretended not to hear and turned to Wei Yanwan and said, "Concubine Ling, Yihuan is already pregnant, you should also work harder."

Yan Wan pursed her lips, glanced at Bai Ruiji, then at Yihuan. She really didn't know how to deal with Concubine Xian. Was it really interesting that she kept saying that she was not pregnant yet? Didn't she think that this was also implying Concubine Xian herself?

"Thank you, Concubine Xian, for your concern." Yan Wan smiled at her softly and suddenly became energetic.

Now, the red plum satin that she asked Chunchan to take before she went out has been put to good use, and people have come to her eagerly to ask for rewards.

Ruyi glanced down and saw that Yanwan was wearing a pair of exquisite and small shoes embroidered with red plum blossoms. The petals of the plum blossoms were inlaid with rubies, which were very precious.

Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she thought of the red plum hairpin from before, "Concubine Ling is dressed gorgeously today."

"Why don't you match such exquisite shoes with a suitable headdress?" Ruyi had a smile on her face and the corners of her lips turned up. Although she was smiling, she made people feel that she was annoying for no reason.

"I don't know how to match things together, and I really can't embody the integrity of the red plum." Yan Wan sighed, with a hint of sadness on her face.

She looked at Ruyi's calm face again, and suddenly smiled very charmingly, "Empress Xian likes red plums, and the clothes she wears on weekdays are unique and extraordinary. I thought of this before I left today, so I specially brought some of the red plum woven satin in my palace. It can be regarded as a little gift from me to Empress Xian on New Year's Eve."

"Chunchan." Yanwan turned her head and called Chunchan, and Chunchan came over holding a large tray with a large stack of silk satin on it. Red plum blossoms in different postures were embroidered on the colorful fabrics.

"These are for Your Majesty." Yan Wan smiled generously, and her expression was very sincere, without anyone noticing anything unusual.

Ruyi didn't want to accept Wei Yanwan's things and was about to refuse.

Concubine Mei saw the opportunity and immediately interrupted, "Yanwan, Concubine Xian is such a noble person, why would she want all these silks from you?"

This blocked Ruyi's refusal. She prided herself on being gentle and tolerant, so how could she continue to say such hurtful words?

Bai Ruiji raised her voice and said, "As for these red plum blossoms, Concubine Xian must have countless of them." The concubines, palace maids and eunuchs who had not left yet pricked up their ears and eavesdropped.

"How can I be interested in your stuff?" Bai Ruiji shook her head and said with some regret.
