"Mrs. Qi, why do you have to think so much?"

Faced with Concubine Qi who panicked after hearing what she said, Jianqiu was really helpless and could only try her best to comfort and persuade her.

"You say this lightly. Anyway, you won't be the one to be blamed. How can you understand the pain in my heart?"

Concubine Qi felt that Jianqiu was just a servant, and although she was a senior maid beside the Queen, the pressure she faced was completely different from herself. Besides, the Queen would not easily make things difficult for the people around her. Now, Jianqiu's words to her were completely easy to say.

The more Concubine Qi thought about it, the angrier she became, and at the same time she felt very aggrieved.

"My dear queen, just help the queen to take good care of Noble Lady Fucha. You don't need to worry about anything else. So, your queen will understand, right?"

Jianqiu took several deep breaths and was able to maintain the smile on her face. At the same time, she spoke directly to Concubine Qi and told her the Queen's expectations.

As soon as Jianqiu said this, Concubine Qi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is it really that simple?"

Concubine Qi turned to look at Jianqiu and asked back, with some disbelief in her tone.

"The Queen has always loved you, and she values ​​the Third Prince even more, so how could she embarrass you over such a small matter?"

When Jianqiu saw this, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then a string of "compliments" came over.

Being praised by Jianqiu, Concubine Qi felt a little flattered. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "That's right. The Queen has always treated me very well. As for what happened before..."

Concubine Qi was talking to herself, which made Jianqiu, who was already smiling, suddenly tremble in her heart.

"Miss!"

Jian Qiu looked at Concubine Qi and said seriously, "What happened before was just a misunderstanding! In my opinion, the reason why the Queen treated you like that was completely out of worry about you. Think about it, now Concubine An and Concubine Shen are both pregnant. If you rashly call them here and something happens, wouldn't it be..."

Jianqiu was well versed in the art of speaking, but at this moment, she deliberately prolonged her tone, causing Concubine Qi to involuntarily imagine a bunch of nonsense.

"Isn't it nothing?"

Concubine Qi had now come to her senses from Jianqiu's previous flattery, and then she became uneasy again because of Jianqiu's words.

"Ahem, this is just my guess. Anyway, as long as Your Majesty follows the arrangements of the Queen, nothing will happen!"

Jianqiu certainly didn't dare to give "instructions" to Concubine Qi. In fact, she "brought up the old matter" just to help Concubine Qi rebuild her confidence in the Queen.

The real reason why the Queen was angry with Concubine Qi was because she thought Concubine Qi was stupid and almost ruined her own plans.

However, Jianqiu would definitely not tell Concubine Qi about such inside information.

At this time, seeing that his plan was almost accomplished, Jianqiu began to change the subject.

If it was someone else, Jianqiu would really have to consider how to deal with it, but if it was someone like Concubine Qi, there was no need to be so complicated.

"Um……"

After a while, Concubine Qi seemed to have convinced herself and nodded to Jianqiu, "Forget it, let's leave it at that! Jianqiu, you must serve the Queen well, and when you return, remember to tell the Queen what I said!"

"Don't worry, Madam, I will!"

Jianqiu felt relieved when she saw that Concubine Qi was so easy to talk to. She immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Not to mention how Concubine Qi immersed herself in her own world after Jianqiu left, and then made up a lot of self-proclaimed details in her mind.

……

On the other hand, after having a "heart-to-heart" conversation with Fang Ruo, An Lingrong completely handed over the management of Yonghe Palace to Fang Ruo.

Compared to her previous wait-and-see attitude, An Lingrong is now truly relieved.

On this day, Fang Ruo was taking Bao Juan and the others to prepare various small things for An Lingrong that she would need when she returned.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Su Peisheng suddenly came to Yonghe Palace!

"My lady, Eunuch Su is here."

As the head maid of Yonghe Palace, Fang Ruo immediately put down everything she was doing when she learned of Su Peisheng's arrival. She sent someone to greet him, and she found An Lingrong as soon as possible to inform the young lady.

"Oh? Eunuch Su, why are you here at this time? Is there anything?"

An Lingrong raised her eyebrows when she heard this.

Su Peisheng was the eunuch in the imperial court of Emperor Yongzheng, and he usually followed the emperor around.

The reason why he came to her at this time must be because of the emperor's order. An Lingrong was a little curious about this.

"This servant doesn't know."

Fang Ruo insisted that An Lingrong should be able to keep everything under her control, so as soon as she found out, she ran over to report to An Lingrong.

"Well, let's go and take a look."

When An Lingrong and Fang Ruo arrived at the front yard, they saw Su Peisheng already waiting there.

"Your servant greets the noble lady An."

Su Peisheng still had the smile of a good old man and was extremely polite.

The other party was so polite, An Lingrong certainly would not respond coldly, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Su, what are you doing here?"

"My lady, you are too polite. I am here on the orders of the Emperor to bring you these imperial perfumes."

Su Peisheng waved the whisk in his hand, and Xiao Xiazi, who was following him, came forward with a tray and showed it to An Lingrong.

When An Lingrong saw the perfumed powders placed on the tray and packed in exquisite colorful enamel boxes, her eyelids began to twitch wildly.

Imperial scented powder?

Isn’t that the thing that was used for Noble Lady Fucha before?

Now it has been given to me?

An Lingrong was speechless, but after thinking about it, she understood Yongzheng's intention.

It’s not that the other party wants to “make use of waste”, but in Yongzheng’s view, these things were originally developed specifically for pregnant concubines.

Although Noble Lady Fucha is not blessed enough to enjoy it, but now An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang are both pregnant, so it is just the right time for them to use it!

An Lingrong had an 80% idea of ​​Yongzheng's intentions, but on the surface she looked confused and waited quietly for Su Peisheng's next words.

"My lady, you may not know that these perfume powders were specially developed by the Emperor at the Imperial Hospital. They can ensure that while my lady is putting on makeup, they will not cause any harm to the dragon fetus in her belly."

Su Peisheng smiled and said, "This is the emperor's gift, please accept it!"

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty! Long live the emperor!"

An Lingrong motioned Fang Ruo to go forward and accept the perfume powder, and at the same time bowed in the direction of the Yangxin Palace. Then, she said to Su Peisheng, "Thank you, Eunuch Su. By the way, may I ask, Eunuch Su, is the perfume powder exclusive to me, or do my sisters have it as well?"

Su Peisheng said, "My lady, since these spices were specially selected and developed by the imperial doctors, according to the emperor's wishes, they can only be used by pregnant ladies. So, besides you, only Concubine Shen has them now."

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved."

After getting the answer she wanted, An Lingrong rewarded Master Su Peisheng and his apprentice, and then politely sent them away.

When she was the only one left, her smile suddenly faded.

After returning to the back hall, An Lingrong pondered for a moment, then called Liuyun over and instructed, "Go to Suiyuxuan and invite Concubine Wan over. Tell her that I miss her and want to catch up with her."
