The reason why Chen Wanyin took the twin pills was because having two princes who looked the same would not make anyone feel jealous. Even if Hongli got older and became paranoid in the end, he would not be jealous of the twins. He would just feel at ease and pamper them.

Since Chen Wanyin has no intention of becoming the empress dowager, she might as well not give birth to a prince who would arouse people's vigilance.

If it's a daughter, you can't give birth to one.

Since she was not the queen mother, she could not decide on her own daughter's marriage. In order to avoid the fate of being married off as a foreign prince, it was better for her not to have children.

After listening to Chen Wanyin's long speech and her request for house arrest, Fu Jin really used all her life's skills to suppress the smile on her lips, and said to Chen Wanyin: "This Fu Jin agrees. Since Chen Gege has already taught A Ruo a lesson on behalf of Qing Fu Jin, she will not be punished this time. Okay, all of you leave."

Qingying took the crying A Ruo back home, thinking that she would tell her brother Hongli that Chen Gege bullied her in the evening.

Unfortunately, Gao Gege, who was a good person, had made preparations early on. She asked the eunuch Shuangxi to wait at the gate of Chonghua Palace early in the morning. The moment he saw Hongli returning from court, he persuaded Hongli to enter Gao Gege's Yaoyue Pavilion.

Gao Gege was afraid that Hongli would be kidnapped, so she told Hongli everything that had happened after she paid her respects today.

Fearing that Hongli would not believe her, Gao Gege added, "After paying respects today, everyone saw it. If you don't believe me, you can ask other people. My words are not false at all. I was wondering earlier why Qing Fujin kept such a disobedient maid like A Ruo. It turns out that she has this wonderful use. It's a pity that Xing Xuan and Mo Xin beside me can't speak. Otherwise, I won't open my mouth in the future and just wait for them to help me fight for it."

Hongli frowned.

Indeed, after hearing these words, he also thought of what A Ruo usually did. Every time A Ruo took him away from others, Qingying would look very surprised and delighted when she saw him.

But he felt that it was an accident that he was intercepted by A Ruo. Since Qingying entered the mansion, A Ruo had intercepted him at least dozens of times. Why did Qingying still feel surprised? Was he pretending?

"What nonsense are you talking about. I have to change my clothes and go to the Yangxin Palace. Let's talk about these things later."

Gao Gege pulled Hongli's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Then can the prince come to Yaoyue Pavilion tonight?"

Hongli patted her hand and evaded the question by saying, "Let's talk about it tonight. I'm leaving now."

Hongli knew clearly that his royal father was getting older and had recently started taking elixirs, so he might not live for many more years.

Now, the only prince who can enter and leave the Palace of Tranquil Longevity is Hongli.

He needed to learn more about the emperor's art from his father while he was still healthy. At the same time, before things were finalized, he had to continue to be a filial son to his father.

In the evening, after a busy day, Hongli returned home and wanted to go to Yueyin Hall to see Chen Wanyin, but when he thought of her being under house arrest, he had to give up. However, he still ordered Wang Qin to secretly send her some beautiful jewelry and fabrics to comfort her.

Later, Hongli thought that since Gao Gege had asked him to stay in the morning, he might go to Gao Gege's place. However, Li Yu came to say that Qingying had sent a fragrant soup. Between Qingying and Gao Gege, Hongli chose Qingfengyuan.

Facing Qingying's complaints and the hint of eye drops for Chen Wanyin, Hongli asked, "Is there anything wrong with what Chen Gege said?"

Qingying looked at Hongli in disbelief, "Hongli?"

Hongli put his arm around Qingying's shoulders and consoled her, "Okay, Qingying, now that everyone has discovered this, you should stop letting Ah Ruo behave so ungentlemanly. If she can't change in a short time and you are reluctant to discipline her, you can also send her out of the palace and find her someone to marry."

In the ear room nearby, A Ruo put her ear against the wall and could clearly hear the conversation between the two.

He found out that even the prince knew that Qingying deliberately allowed his behavior just to make him a mouthpiece, and his eyes turned red with anger.

Then she heard that the prince actually wanted to send her out of the palace.

How is this possible?

She doesn't want to leave the palace.

A Ruo clenched her fists tightly. She wanted to step on Qingying who took advantage of her and take revenge on Chen Wanyin who bullied her!

Chen Wanyin looked at the gifts sent by Wang Qin leisurely. They were so beautiful.

I have to say that Hongli is more generous than his father.

She had only been in the mansion for more than two months, but there were already five boxes full of things in the storeroom, almost all of which were sent by Hongli. Even the furniture and ornaments in Yueyin Hall had been replaced by Hongli one after another, and every piece was a good thing and a treasure.

Chen Wanyin is a loose-handed master. When she is doing good, her subordinates can also share the benefits.

As her personal maid, Shunxin naturally received the most rewards, and of course she was also the most loyal and capable one.

There were not many palace servants in Yueyin Hall, but they were all well disciplined by Shunxin.

During this period, there was a restless person. Shunxin found out and immediately reported it to her. She didn't ask any more questions and just let Shunxin send the person away.

Shunxin saw that her master trusted her and generously filled her small cash box, and worked even harder.

However, Shunxin was a little worried and confused about Chen Wanyin's self-request for house arrest.

"Princess, I don't understand why you asked to be confined to your home. Ah Ruo has been disrespectful to you several times. Given the prince's love for you, it's no big deal if you beat her. Now you are confined to your home for a month. What if the prince likes someone else?"

"After all, A Ruo is the dowry of Qing Fujin. I am just a princess. It is against the rules to treat A Ruo. If I don't ask to be confined, Fujin will probably ask me to apologize to Qing Fujin. I hate her lofty attitude the most, so I don't want to apologize to her. As for what you said that the prince will like someone else. Shunxin, you have to remember that our prince has many women. Even now, he already has eight women, and there will be more in the future. We can't always count on the prince's favor. In this backyard, there are things more important than favor."

Shunxin was not stupid. After a brief thought, he continued, "It's an heir."

Chen Wanyin nodded and raised her hand to touch her belly, "Shunxin, I'm afraid I'm pregnant."

Shunxin's eyes widened immediately, and she stared at Chen Wanyin's belly, "Is what the princess said true? We didn't ask for a doctor, so how did the princess know?"

Before giving Shunxin the Loyalty Pill, Chen Wanyin didn't want to expose her medical skills too early, so she made up an excuse, "Just think of it as a mother-son bond. Besides, I just think I might be pregnant. My period will come in a few days, and my period has always been regular. If it doesn't come by then, then I must be pregnant."
