"Princess An actually gave birth to a princess safely?"

The lights were on in Yikun Palace, but Concubine Hua was not sleepy at all.

After hearing the report from her subordinates that the Emperor, the Empress and the Queen Mother had all gone to Yonghe Palace to visit An Lingrong, Concubine Hua almost broke her teeth.

Earlier at the annual banquet, Concubine Hua was overjoyed because the pregnant concubines could not attend.

She was thinking very loudly, and was thinking that she could outwit the Queen tonight and invite the Emperor to come to her palace to rest.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a little palace maid suddenly came to report to the emperor that An Lingrong had fetal movement and was about to give birth!

When the news came out, everyone was shocked, and the emperor was undoubtedly the happiest!

After all, before An Lingrong gave birth to the child, whether it was a prince or a princess, everything was unknown.

Because of this, Yongzheng had no intention of continuing to enjoy the food at the banquet, and instead went to Yonghe Palace to visit An Lingrong.

The banquet ended hastily and the concubines returned to their homes.

However, after learning about what happened on An Lingrong's side, everyone became more active.

Now the power in the palace is almost divided into three parts: Concubine Hua's faction, the Queen's faction, and the rest is Zhen Huan's faction including An Lingrong.

As everyone knows, Concubine Hua and the Queen do not get along, and their vassals are fighting openly and secretly.

The Queen's attitude towards Zhen Huan and others was ambiguous. She neither showed excessive favor to them nor tried to win them over, but she also would not suppress them openly.

Compared to Concubine Hua, who was hostile to almost everyone except herself, the Queen was undoubtedly lenient.

Therefore, An Lingrong's childbirth was naturally a great joy to the concubines who were on good terms with her.

But Concubine Hua was the first one to feel extremely angry about this!

Therefore, after returning to her palace, Concubine Hua tossed and turned, and finally sent wave after wave of palace maids to inquire about the movements in Yonghe Palace.

When Concubine Hua learned that An Lingrong had given birth to a daughter safely, one can imagine her disappointment.

God knows how much she hoped that An Lingrong would die with her child when she gave birth!

Unfortunately, An Lingrong gave birth to the royal heir safely...

This also means that the opponent's imperial favor will be more stable in the future.

"My Lady, this is actually good news!"

Cao Qinmo had been accompanying Concubine Hua the entire time. When she saw the other party showing a look of resentment, she immediately stepped forward to comfort her, "No matter what, Concubine An only gave birth to a daughter. As long as she is not a prince, what can she achieve in the future?"

While saying this, Cao Qinmo also selectively ignored the fact that she also gave birth to a daughter.

But I have to say that Cao Qinmo is indeed very good at comforting people.

After she said this, Concubine Hua's attention was indeed attracted.

"You are right. She is just a daughter. She is not a threat to me!"

Concubine Hua was smiling at the beginning, but at the end, her face suddenly darkened, and she even muttered to herself, "Who made me so unlucky that neither the prince nor the princess came into my belly?"

These words seemed to be spoken to himself, but the coldness revealed in them made Cao Qinmo's eyelids twitch wildly, and then he knelt down all of a sudden.

"Your Highness, please calm down! I have absolutely no such intention!"

I swear to God, Cao Qinmo originally just wanted to divert Concubine Hua's attention so that she wouldn't continue to be angry.

As a result, Concubine Hua insisted on being so nitpicky, and what she said was even more impossible to accept.

Cao Qinmo really felt that she was extremely wronged!

"Do you really mean well? Why does it seem to me that you don't mean well?"

Concubine Hua sneered, then picked up a fruit plate and threw it at Cao Qinmo, "All of you, get out of here!"

"boom!"

With a crisp sound, Cao Qinmo rolled on the ground, avoiding the plate in a very embarrassed manner.

As the plate fell to the ground and broke into several pieces, Cao Qinmo left Yikun Palace in shame.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has sent Eunuch Su to investigate everywhere. It seems that something unexpected happened after Concubine An gave birth."

As soon as Cao Qinmo left, Songzhi, who was asked by Concubine Hua to find out what was going on, rushed back to Yikun Palace.

At this time, Songzhi reported the information she had obtained to Concubine Hua. At the same time, looking at the mess on the ground, she guessed that Concubine Hua must have been angry before.

"Do you know what happened?"

After venting half of her anger on Cao Qinmo, Concubine Hua calmed down a little.

When Concubine Hua heard the news brought back by Songzhi, her mood suddenly improved a lot, and she asked Songzhi about the specific inside story.

"This, I haven't found out yet, please forgive me, Madam."

Because this incident just happened, and Su Peisheng did not make a big fuss and inquire about it in the six palaces.

The reason why Songzhi was able to obtain such news was all because of the young eunuch that Concubine Hua had previously placed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to report.

The young eunuch only vaguely sensed that something was wrong because many of the eunuchs in charge were taken away for interrogation by Su Peisheng.

Considering that the biggest event in the palace right now is that Concubine An gave birth to a princess, the young eunuch told Songzhi about this when she came to question him in order to take credit.

Everything else is just their own guesses. Although they are not far from the truth, they cannot figure out all the details by relying on their own inferences.

"Well, you have done your best."

Concubine Hua knew that Songzhi was completely loyal to her. Moreover, she had already been angry with Cao Qinmo before, so she naturally would not continue to pursue Songzhi's poor performance.

"This may be an opportunity for me!"

Concubine Hua walked to the window, looked at the lights in the distance, and slowly smiled.

……

"Okay, now it's just you and I here. I've even sent Zhuxi away. We hope you can answer truthfully."

In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother still hadn't gone to bed, leaving only the Queen in her own palace.

Looking at the empress's calm expression, the queen mother sighed deeply and asked, "Someone tampered with Concubine An's midwife. Was it you?"

"Reporting to the Empress, I am the mistress of the six palaces, and it is my duty to protect the concubines. How could I do this? Moreover, I have been busy with the New Year's Day affairs these days and have not paid attention to these aspects."

The queen spoke calmly, as if it really had nothing to do with her.

"You also said that you are the leader of the six palaces. Concubine An is pregnant, so she should be the one you focus on. But you shirked the responsibility of taking care of the New Year's Day in the palace and had no time to pay attention to other places. Isn't it contradictory to say so?"

The Queen Mother knew the Queen very well, and immediately shook her head in disappointment.

"The Emperor has already known the truth about Concubine Hui's matter, but he is unwilling to delve into it, so I can't say much. As for you, haha, you are indeed a good 'empress' that I have trained. I believe you definitely don't need me to clean up anything for you. But I have told you before that I can turn a blind eye to other things, but I will never allow you to do anything wrong when it comes to the heir to the throne!"

Seeing that the queen said nothing and just bowed her head to her, the queen mother snorted coldly, then waved her sleeves and said, "Queen, kneel down and pay your respects!"
