The concubine is extremely cautious

Lady Xue sneered, "Shu Fei was pregnant before, so she can understand. But Ning Jieyu is not pregnant, so what can she understand?"

"Concubine Ning has been taking care of Concubine Shun. I think even though she is not pregnant, it is almost the same as if she had been pregnant once." Concubine Wen explained seriously.

In fact, it was intentional to make Ning Wanyin laugh.

Lady Xue immediately added fuel to the fire, "Lady Wen, how can it be the same whether there is an heir or not? It's far from it! Some people, even if they want to have a child, just can't have one. Do they still want to pretend to be pregnant?"

"That's not what I meant. I said something out of turn..." Lady Wen felt so guilty that she almost laughed out loud in her heart.

Being pregnant is her greatest sense of superiority in front of Ning Wanyin.

So she used her pregnancy to step on Ning Wanyin.

Ning Wanyin glanced at the two of them and did not argue with them. Instead, she looked at Helian Qi, with three parts of self-blame and two parts of hope in her eyes:

"It's all my fault. I will work hard in the future."

As soon as these words came out, Lady Wen had a heart attack.

If you don't work hard, you are already the most favored concubine in the harem. If you work harder, will others still be able to see the emperor?

The next moment, Lady Wen felt resentful gazes being directed at her from all directions.

Concubines: Why are you using your pregnancy to provoke her?

Helian Qi looked at the beautiful woman's pitiful appearance, and his heart softened. She had just confronted Prince Yu for him...

But I was so overwhelmed by the word "pregnancy" that I couldn't even raise my head.

"Wanwan, there is no need to blame yourself. I love you whether you have children or not." Helian Qi looked at her with gentle eyes.

The whole house was silent.

Although everyone knows that Ning Wanyin is the emperor's favorite concubine.

But it was the first time that the emperor announced so clearly and directly to everyone in public: he liked Ning Wanyin, even if she didn't have children.

Others are honored because of their sons.

But when it comes to Ning Wanyin, whoever can be reborn into Ning Wanyin's belly will obviously be loved by the emperor, and the son will be honored by the mother.

Ning Wanyin was startled. The emperor really showed special favoritism to her today...

He supported her like this, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with what she had just done.

"Your Majesty treats me so well. I am extremely happy and have no words to describe it." Ning Wanyin had a face full of emotion and tears in her eyes. She clutched the jade pendant that the emperor had just given her, and was so happy that she was at a loss.

Wen Meiren was so angry that her head felt dizzy.

She wanted to use her pregnancy to step on Ning Wanyin and let the other concubines see how glorious she was, but in the end, all the glory belonged to Ning Wanyin.

The emperor favors her so much...

The concubines finally understood that the emperor's favorite concubine and the concubine who needed to get pregnant to have status were completely different things.

Countless people were envious of Ning Wanyin, while trying to make trouble for such a beautiful woman.

Ning Wanyin seldom went to Qianxin Palace on her own initiative before. Now if she pesters the emperor in order to get pregnant, will you let everyone get by?

All the royal family members looked at him sideways.

I knew Ning Wanyin was the most favored concubine long ago. Seeing is believing. After meeting her, I realized that she was even more favored than the rumors said.

The palace banquet continues.

With the example of Lady Wen, no one dared to gossip in front of Ning Wanyin.

After three rounds of drinking.

The palace maids brought various dishes and drinks to the table.

"Clang--" When the palace maid served the wine jug to Tang Miaoling, she accidentally knocked it over, and the wine stained her dress.

The maid turned pale with fear and knelt down in haste, "I am guilty of death! Please calm down, my lord!"

"It's okay, you can go down..." Tang Miaoling waved her hand casually, stood up and said: "Cui Ping, help me change clothes."

Cuiping obeyed the order.

Ning Wanyin heard the noise in the back seat, turned around to glance at the palace maid and memorized her face.

He looked at the young eunuch beside Tang Miaoling again.

This little eunuch was the one Xiao Xiazi arranged for Tang Miaoling. His name was Xiao Qingzi.

Tang Miaoling trusted the person sent by Ning Wanyin very much and kept him with her.

"Master, I will lead the way for you, please walk slowly!" Xiao Qingzi was smart and followed closely.

Ning Wanyin withdrew her gaze and continued to listen to the music and watch the dance.

Spilling a drink is a very common accident.

But Ning Wanyin has always been cautious and she will always be on the lookout for any unexpected events.

……

Tang Miaoling returned to the palace and changed into a new dress.

Then return to Tinglan Palace.

When he was near the main hall, he suddenly stepped on a jade pendant and almost fell down.

"Master!" Xiao Qingzi was already alert, and she quickly supported her.

Cuiping quickly held up the lantern and shone it on the ground, picked up the jade pendant, and handed it to Tang Miaoling:

"Master, there is a jade pendant on the ground."

"Look at the dragon pattern, it's something used by the emperor. Could it be dropped by the emperor?" Tang Miaoling picked up the jade pendant and asked curiously.

At this moment, a master and servant walked over from afar.

The attendant held a lantern and said anxiously:

"Your Highness, your jade pendant must have fallen nearby when you went out to sober up. Don't worry, it was given by the late emperor. No one dares to keep it privately. We will definitely find it!"

The young man was not yet an adult, but looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was pale and frail, and his handsome face was full of annoyance.

"It was a relic my mother left me, but I accidentally lost it... cough cough cough..."

When Tang Miaoling heard this, she asked uncertainly, "I picked up a jade pendant. Did you drop it?"

Upon hearing this, the young man quickly walked over, staring at the jade pendant in Tang Miaoling's hand with a look of surprise on his face:

"This is my jade pendant!"

Tang Miaoling handed the jade pendant to Xiao Qingzi and asked Xiao Qingzi to pass it on.

The young man took the jade pendant, as if he had found a treasure, and bowed to Tang Miaoling in gratitude:

"Thank you, Lady Tang. I am the Prince of Yihe. This jade pendant was bestowed by the late emperor to my mother, and it was also left to me by my mother. It is very precious to me."

Tang Miaoling slightly avoided his bow and said, "I don't deserve such a great gift from the prince. I just picked it up by chance. Even if I didn't pick it up, you could have picked it up yourself..."

Then he asked curiously, "Do you know me?"

How does he know his last name is Tang?

"Just now at the palace banquet... I saw a palace maid spilling wine, and thought she would be held accountable, but I saw that you were kind and magnanimous, and compassionate to the servants. So I asked one more question and learned that she was the daughter of the Marquis of Changping... No wonder, a lady from a famous family naturally has an extraordinary demeanor." Prince Yihe praised.

This was the first time Tang Miaoling was praised like this.

She has been a spoiled daughter since she was young, and has nothing to do with kindness and generosity.

It’s just that after dying once, I will never dare to offend anyone or make enemies with anyone again.

Even if she's just a palace maid.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind..." Tang Miaoling suppressed the corners of her mouth that turned up, and saluted with a serious face, saying, "I'll go in first, and take my leave."

Prince Yihe politely returned the greeting.

Tang Miaoling entered Tinglan Palace.

Prince Yihe watched her leave, the look in his eyes was dark and unclear.
