Concubine Yun has a special identity. Although she seems to have no presence at ordinary times, as long as she is pregnant with the dragon, no one dares to underestimate this Mongolian concubine from the prairie.

Therefore, after receiving the Queen's order, Jianqiu immediately took action.

The next morning, after the Queen finished her morning meeting, Jianqiu immediately went to Zhongcui Palace with a bunch of gifts.

This Zhongcui Palace was originally the palace where Concubine Yun lived when she first entered the palace. After she was promoted to the position of concubine, she naturally became the master of Zhongcui Palace.

Jianqiu came this time on behalf of the Queen. As soon as she arrived at Zhongcui Palace, she immediately aroused high alert among Yunpin's subordinates.

They did not dare to be careless. They politely invited Jianqiu into the hall while reporting to Concubine Yun.

"My lady, Aunt Jianqiu from the Queen's side is here."

Hearing the report from her maid, Yunpin, who was lazily basking in the sun by the window, suddenly opened her eyes and asked, "Why is she here for no reason?"

Because the Queen wanted to demonstrate her kindness and magnanimity, she issued an edict as early as when Shen Meizhuang became pregnant to exempt all future pregnant women from having to pay homage to her.

That is to say, unless it is a major festival, everyone has to attend. Pregnant concubines do not have to attend the morning meetings held in Jingren Palace.

So, Concubine Yun hasn't seen the Queen for a while.

She had previously had a "secret conversation" with An Lingrong that only they knew about, in order to ensure that she would not encounter the kind of "special situation" that Shen Meizhuang had experienced in the future.

In addition to reaching an agreement with Concubine Yun to turn their suspicious eyes towards Concubine Hua, An Lingrong also secretly reminded Concubine Yun to be careful of any suspicious movements in her daily life.

Although she has a straightforward and heroic character, Yunpin is not a fool.

She knew that what An Lingrong said made sense, but she herself would not believe An Lingrong unconditionally.

Anyway, what An Lingrong said was indeed right. At this time, the only people she could trust were herself and the two maids she brought from her mother's home!

In addition, Yunpin would question the intentions and true purpose of anyone who intended to approach her.

Just like now, hearing that Jianqiu is coming, Yunpin certainly cannot avoid her, and she immediately goes to meet her with full vigilance.

"Good luck to Concubine Yun!"

Jianqiu waited in the hall for a while, and saw Yunpin walking out from the inner room slowly, and she immediately bowed politely.

"Aunt Jianqiu is someone close to the Queen, so there's no need to be polite."

Concubine Yun waved her hand casually and was also secretly sizing up the senior palace maid of Jingren Palace.

Judging from the appearance alone, Jianqiu doesn't really have anything eye-catching about her.

Because whether it is her clothing, makeup, or her expression and behavior, Jianqiu is very consistent with her identity - just a palace maid loyal to the queen.

Yunpin did not have the ability to analyze others. After taking a few looks at Jianqiu, she could not tell whether there was good or evil behind that smile.

"Thank you, Madam Yunpin."

Jian Qiu smiled and answered, then stood up from her half-squatting position. Then, she smiled and said, "The Queen thought of your pregnancy, so she specially asked me to bring some nourishing food to visit you - and there is another oral order!"

"I respectfully follow the Queen's teachings."

Yunpin did not take the things brought by Jianqiu seriously, but when the other party said that he had brought another oral order, Yunpin's expression suddenly became serious.

The Queen and she didn't have much interaction. Since entering the palace, they had only met a few times.

However, since she became pregnant, this was not the first time that the Queen had ordered people to send gifts to her. Yunpin privately asked someone to check the gifts and found nothing wrong with them, so in her heart, the Queen was still a good person.

Since the other party is the master of the six palaces, I must obey what he says.

"The Empress said that it is not easy for Miss Yun to be pregnant. Moreover, you were born and raised on the grassland. Now that you have come to the palace, you must miss your hometown. However, the journey is long and the homesickness is hard to understand. The Empress is very sympathetic! If you are interested in your spare time, you can go to Jingren Palace to chat with the Empress!"

Jianqiu had a gentle smile on her face, and she embellished the Queen's "good intentions" before telling her story.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen. Since you said so, I will definitely go to visit you."

Yunpin did not hear the deeper meaning and thought that the Queen was simply bored and wanted to talk to her, so she nodded and agreed directly.

"Then I will reply for you. Please take a good rest, Madam!"

Seeing Yunpin being so understanding, Jianqiu's smile deepened.

After bowing and ordering his men to put away all the hard objects he had brought with him, Jianqiu bowed again and slowly left Zhongcui Palace under the gaze of Concubine Yun.

"Master, are you really going to see the Queen?"

As soon as Jianqiu left, Qingshi, the maidservant beside Yunpin, couldn't help but ask her.

Qingshi is one of the two confidants that Yunpin brought from the prairie. He is loyal to her and is usually responsible for taking care of Yunpin's daily life.

Her status beside Concubine Yun was extremely high, far beyond what the palace maids assigned to the palace later could offer, so only she and another maid, Lan Hua, could speak directly to Concubine Yun.

"Since the Queen asked her to come and say this to me, it's clear that she wants to see me. Can I still find an excuse not to go?"

Yunpin shook her head.

She may look careless, but she is not uneducated.

Although Yunpin was not good at the complicated things in the palace, she had been there for so long that she had learned some things through observation and exposure.

What's more, although there are not many Mongolian concubines in the palace, there are still a few. Her birth is more noble than theirs, and her current position is more respected. These are enough to make those Mongolian concubines loyal to Yunpin.

"Do I need this servant to call those young ladies over?"

Seeing that Yunpin seemed to have her own ideas, Qingshi did not dare to comment any further. He only suggested that other Mongolian concubines could be summoned over so that everyone could brainstorm and perhaps help Yunpin come up with some advice.

"Why call them all here? This isn't a bonfire party or a horse race on the prairie."

Yunpin once again rejected the advice of her confidant.

Although these Mongolian concubines were obedient and loyal to her, they were too naive compared to the concubines in the palace and could not be relied upon at all.

If you want to talk to someone...

Yunpin narrowed her eyes and a candidate immediately came to her mind.

"Well, don't act rashly now, wait until..."

Concubine Yun went into the inner room, called Qingshi in, and then gave him some extremely detailed instructions.

After listening to this, Qingshi nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood what to do.
