"Lan'er, have you heard the recent rumors in the palace?" Jun Moli asked Hua Xiulan with a worried look on his face.

"Well. Fortunately, Yue'er was not sent to the palace, otherwise..." Hua Xiulan nodded with lingering fear, frowning slightly.

"Yes, fortunately we made the decision in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Jun Moli said thankfully.

"By the way, Lan'er, I think the sixth day of next month is a good day. Why don't we let the Lu family come and marry Yue'er?" Hua Xiulan said suddenly.

"So fast? Yao'er hasn't gotten married yet, but Yue'er is going to get married first." Jun Moli was a little surprised.

"Then what can we do? Do we have to force Yaoer to get married in a hurry?" Hua Xiulan asked back.

"That's certainly not appropriate." Jun Moli quickly shook his head.

The two fell into silence, thinking about how to deal with this matter.

——Prince Duan’s Mansion

"Princess, are you aware of the recent rumors?" Prince Duan looked at his princess solemnly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Princess Duan frowned slightly and replied softly, "Your Highness, I have heard some rumors, but I don't know the specifics." There was a hint of uneasiness in her voice.

Prince Duan sighed and said slowly: "It is said that there is a rumor circulating in the palace now, saying that Concubine Yan and Concubine Yun seduced the emperor. This is no small matter. If it is confirmed, it will have a major impact on us."

Princess Duan's face turned pale. She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand and whispered, "Your Highness, I will write a letter to my cousin. He is Concubine Yan's father and will definitely help us stop the spread of this rumor. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous..."

Prince Duan nodded in agreement. They knew that they had to act quickly to prevent the rumors from spreading further and to protect their own interests and status. However, they also understood that the power struggle in the palace was complex and changeable, and they needed to act with caution.

Princess Duan prayed secretly in her heart, hoping that her cousin could successfully persuade Concubine Yan not to do anything dangerous.

Prince Duan gently patted the princess's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, princess. We will definitely get through this difficult time. As long as we remain vigilant, we can resolve this crisis."

The two looked at each other silently, and both understood each other's determination. They would go all out to defend their dignity and status and ensure the stability of the court.

A few days later, Princess Duan received a reply from her cousin. The letter stated that he had talked to Concubine Yan and warned her to be careful in her words and actions. Concubine Yan also promised not to act rashly again.

However, the story did not end there. One day, Prince Duan overheard some palace maids whispering in the palace, and the content was exactly the rumors about Concubine Yan and Concubine Yun.

His face turned gloomy in an instant, and he secretly vowed to find the person who spread the rumor and clear Concubine Yan's name.

At the same time, Concubine Yan also realized the seriousness of the situation, and she decided to go to the emperor in person to express her loyalty to him.

In front of the emperor, Concubine Yan burst into tears and confessed her innocence. The emperor looked at Concubine Yan crying and felt a little pity for her. He promised to investigate the matter and give her justice.

As time went by, the truth gradually surfaced. It turned out that all these were rumors deliberately spread by other concubines who were jealous of Concubine Yan's favor.

In the end, the rumormonger received the punishment he deserved, and the palace returned to its former peace. After all these twists and turns, the relationship between Concubine Yan and Princess Duan became closer.

A month later, Concubine He gave birth in Lanxi Palace.

"Ah~ It hurts so much." He Bin lay on the bed with a pale face, her hands tightly grasping the quilt, her forehead covered with sweat. She clenched her teeth, but the pain still made her scream out.

"Your Majesty, relax. Exhale." The midwife stood beside the bed, encouraging Concubine He and instructing her how to exert force.

He listened to the midwife's words and tried to adjust her breathing and relax her body. But as waves of severe pain came, her body still trembled involuntarily.

"My queen, hold on a little longer. The baby will be out soon." The midwife felt distressed when she saw Hepin in so much pain. She gently stroked Hepin's belly, hoping to give her some comfort.

He Bin bit her lip and nodded. She knew she couldn't give up and had to give birth to the child. So she took a deep breath again and used all her strength.

"Wa~Wa~" Finally, a clear baby cry sounded, and the whole room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! It's a little prince!" The midwife excitedly held the newborn baby and congratulated Concubine He.

When Concubine He heard the news, a relieved smile appeared on her tired face. She struggled to sit up and wanted to see her child.

The midwife carefully handed the child to He Bin, who looked at the little life in her arms with tenderness and love in her eyes. She gently stroked the child's face, her heart full of expectations for the future.

"My child..." Hepin whispered softly, tears streaming down unconsciously. These were tears of happiness and also a manifestation of maternal love.

The midwife and the palace maids cleaned the delivery room very cleanly, with only a slight smell of blood.

At this time, there was a commotion outside. It turned out that the emperor had come to visit Concubine He after learning that she had successfully given birth to a prince.

He walked quickly into the room and saw Concubine He and the child, his face filled with joy.

"My beloved concubine, you have worked hard." The emperor walked to the bedside, sat next to Concubine He, and gently held her hand.

Hepin was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She felt that all the hard work was worth it. With the emperor's company, she felt extremely happy.

"Come here, pass on my order and return to the palace! I will host a banquet for all the ministers tonight to celebrate the birth of the royal heir." The emperor was in a good mood and turned to the eunuch behind him and said.

Hepin held the child in her arms, her face filled with a happy smile. She knew that from now on, her position in the palace would be more stable.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Concubine He, who gave birth to a prince, adds a new member to the royal family, and is specially granted the title - An is Concubine An. I decree this!" The eunuch's sharp voice sounded.

When Hepin heard the news, she stood up excitedly and couldn't help but shed tears. She knew that this meant that she and her child would receive more attention and care.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Concubine He said with tears of gratitude.

The palace maids on the side also congratulated Concubine He: "Congratulations to Concubine An! Congratulations to Concubine An!" Their faces were filled with joy, as if they also shared the honor.

Hepin looked at the people around her with gratitude, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction. She knew that the days ahead would be different, but she was willing to use her motherly love to care for this new life and let it thrive. At the same time, she would do her best to live up to the emperor's love and expectations.
