"I don't remember it clearly, but I am a woman after all, and I will get married anyway, so I pay more attention to the customs of marriage and pregnancy, and remember them clearly." Yu Ying'er said, then picked up a grape, peeled it and handed it to the emperor, her eyes full of flattery.

The emperor curled his lips slightly, bit the grape directly and swallowed it into his stomach.

"You said, is there a princess in Concubine Hua's belly?" There was still shrewd calculation in the emperor's eyes, but there was also a hint of tenderness.

He and Shilan had been married for many years, so if it was a princess, how could he not bear it? Just like why did he wait until the fetus was formed before aborting it? It was because he was soft-hearted and thought, what if it was a princess? But in the end, he was still beaten with a stick.

Yu Ying'er took back her hand and wiped it vigorously under her sleeve, her face still charming and flattering: "Empress Hua said that this is what she dreamed about. She said that someone came back and that she had the opportunity to return to her mother's body by exchanging her male body for a female body. Empress Hua said a lot, and I can't remember so much. Your Majesty knows it, and this is also what I wrote down."

The emperor took Yu Ying'er's hand and rubbed it. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he said, "If she is really a princess, she must be as bright and beautiful as Shilan."

"She will be as bright and beautiful as the queen, and as brave and magnanimous as the emperor." Yu Ying'er said.

The emperor didn't reply, but just patted Yu Ying'er's hand.

"No, I'll go see Shilan. You should have a good rest. I'll come to accompany you later." The emperor seemed to think of the days when he and Shilan went riding horses in the palace. He thought of the woman with a bright smile and eyes full of him, and the guilt in his heart deepened.

This emperor always thinks he is so affectionate, but he doesn't know that he is the most ruthless person.

Yu Ying'er hurriedly stood up and respectfully saw the emperor off. After the emperor left, she quickly asked Chunxi to go downstairs and ask someone to fetch water for her to bathe.

It is unknown what Hua Fei said to the emperor, but after the emperor came out of Yikun Palace, he went straight to Shoukang Palace. Soon, rewards for Hua Fei came out from Yangxin Palace and Shoukang Palace one after another, which meant that the emperor and the empress dowager tacitly agreed to the birth of the child.

"Really? Agree? Haha...how can the emperor and the empress dowager be so kind? They want to keep the girl alive if it's a girl, and kill the boy if it's a boy." Qiqi was full of resentment when she said this. If the voice wasn't a male's, people would think she was a shrew.

Qiqi looked like this, and Yu Ying'er was surprised. She couldn't help asking, "I noticed that you seem to get angry easily because the emperor treats Hua Fei badly. You even want me to protect Hua Fei. Who is Hua Fei to you? Why are you protecting her like this?"

Qiqi's face froze, and then she continued, "It's just a system task. I'm just standing up for the women of today."

Yu Ying'er didn't quite believe it, but she didn't ask any more questions honestly. After all... Qiqi was now the system on which she depended for survival. Without Qiqi, she wouldn't be who she is today, so she should leave it some privacy.

That night, the emperor really visited Chuxiu Palace and stayed overnight. He was intoxicated and dreaming in the fantasy world, as if he had reached the sky, which made him extremely obsessed.

In the next few days, the Emperor either went to Yikun Palace to see Concubine Hua and the child or summoned Yu Ying'er. This made the Queen feel a sense of crisis and she had no choice but to rescue Zhen Huan.

Soon, Zhen Huan copied the palace rules, and with the help of the Queen, she was released from her confinement by the Emperor and given a green card. The Emperor wanted to enjoy the feeling of being a 50% beauty substitute with Chun Yuan, so he ordered Zhen Huan, who had just been given a green card, to sleep with him. This time, Zhen Huan completely caught everyone's attention, even though the Emperor had Yu Ying'er's illusion Zhu Yu in front of him, and felt that Zhen Huan gave him a dull feeling.

Without those special treatments, Zhen Huan seemed ordinary, but she was still qualified to pay respects.

When paying her respects, Concubine Hua already regarded Yu Ying'er as a member of her own party, but she had not forgotten that Zhen Huan and Yu Ying'er had a grudge, so she did not have a good face towards Zhen Huan.

"This Concubine Wan has been ill for so long, and she finally came to pay her respects?" Concubine Hua touched her temples, without even looking at Zhen Huan, her disdain was obvious.

Yixiu listened on the side, looking at Concubine Hua's belly, not knowing what she was thinking, with a hint of resentment and unwillingness in her eyes.

When Zhen Huan saw that she was named, she quickly said, "My body is not doing well, but the Queen has taken care of me. I am grateful for that."

"Tsk... You've just been favored and you're already trying to curry favor with the Queen? I heard that you made a swing in the Imperial Garden not long ago and were confined to copy the palace rules. I don't know what tricks you used to gain favor."

The contempt in Concubine Hua's eyes hurt the proud Zhen Huan's heart. Shen Meizhuang couldn't bear to see Zhen Huan being treated like this, so she ignored Jingpin's persuasion and stood up and spoke.

"The Emperor is the Son of Heaven, so his wishes must prevail. How can we, as concubines, influence his mind? What's more, the Empress, as the mistress of the main palace, hasn't said anything, but Concubine Hua is like this..." When Shen Meizhuang faced the problem of Zhen Huan, she could not endure so much and started to criticize her in various ways, wishing to offend everyone.

Yu Ying'er couldn't help but applaud. This wave directly hit the bottom line of the two giants.

"How outrageous! I have the power to assist in managing the six palaces. How can a mere noble like you question whether Wan Chang is responsible for violating the palace rules? Noble Lady Shen, I originally thought that it was just Wan Chang who had learned the palace rules, but I never thought that people have like-minded friends. You have learned the palace rules too poorly. Start copying them from now on. You can wear the green badge only when you have finished copying them!" Concubine Hua already held a grudge against Shen Meiyu because of the Green Chrysanthemum incident. Now Shen Meiyu has jumped out to challenge her authority. This time she has hit the tiger's butt.

Shen Meizhuang's face turned pale, but she still knelt with her neck stiff, and said "I am willing to accept the punishment" and let it go without arguing for herself. She completely lost the confidence she had just had to speak for Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meiyu with some heartache and felt extremely uncomfortable. She wanted to speak up for her, but she had no way to find a way. She couldn't help but look at Yixiu.

Yixiu received Zhen Huan's gaze, smiled gently, and said, "Hua Fei, considering that Shen Guiren is a first-time offender, she only needs to copy the palace rules ten times. There is no need to remove the green card. The emperor will not be able to explain it."

Yixiu wanted to do Zhen Huan a favor and accepted her as a person.

Concubine Hua snorted coldly and said something pretending to be kind, but she eventually acquiesced to the Queen's approach. After all, she... still remembered Yu Ying'er's words, not to challenge the Emperor's authority.

After paying respects, Zhen Huan was not in a hurry to leave, and Shen Meizhuang also stayed. When Hua Fei passed by Yu Ying'er, she said, "Come on," and then left in a mysterious manner. Yu Ying'er followed behind, her back straight, looking like she was indifferent to the glory. Everyone who saw her thought she was such a bootlicker! !

When she arrived at Yiku Palace, Yu Ying'er did not smell the scent of Huanyixiang, which made her feel at ease. At least Concubine Hua listened to her words.

"Rou Changzai, from today on you are my person. If I ever find out that you are thinking of betraying me, I will make you pay!" Although Hua Fei trusted Yu Ying'er, she had to follow all the necessary procedures. She was good at using both kindness and force.

Yu Ying'er smiled gently, her eyes full of ambiguous love, staring straight at Concubine Hua, without the slightest fear: "I will follow your Majesty's lead and protect you with my life! I am serious about what I say!"

Concubine Hua was uneasy at Yu Ying'er's look. She quickly looked away and coughed twice before saying, "Well, I know your true feelings. Okay, Songzhi, take a box of South China Sea pearls given by the emperor and give it to Concubine Rou to play with."

After rewarding Yu Ying'er, Concubine Hua picked out a pair of jewelry for the three of them, and then said, "Okay, everyone leave. It's time for me to take a nap. Since I became pregnant, I have been very sleepy."

"I'll take my leave." The three said politely.

Concubine Li and Noble Lady Cao left first, while Yu Ying'er left slowly and didn't seem to want to leave.

"Do you have anything else to say? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating so much?" Concubine Hua frowned slightly and asked Yu Ying'er.
