"Hongyao is a prince. The emperor knows whether he is smart or not. When he was teasing Hongyao, he even praised him for his cleverness." Yu Ying'er replied with a smile, telling Cao Qinmo how favored her child was.

Cao Qinmo heard this and said, "That's good."

There are not many princes in the palace. As long as they are favored, why can't they think about that position? Cao Qinmo looked at the smiling Yu Ying'er, and thought of her poor Wen Yi, and seemed to have made a decision in her heart.

Seeing the atmosphere between the two people, Nian Shilan also made some guesses. The harmonious atmosphere suddenly became dull, so she simply sent everyone away.

After leaving Yikun Palace, Cao Qinmo said to Yu Ying'er, "Sister Roufei, the Sixth Prince is very well-behaved. I have never seen him before. Can I go with Sister Roufei to Chuxiu Palace to take a look?"

"I want to go too!" Fei Yunyan shouted hurriedly. They had an average relationship with Yu Ying'er. They only saw each other when paying respects and playing mahjong in Yikun Palace. They had no private friendship and naturally had never seen Hongyao. Now that she was accused of being a stepmother, she also wanted to see Hongyao.

Upon seeing this, Yu Ying'er did not stop them. Instead, she happily invited the two to Chuxiu Palace.

Lv Yingfeng in the East Side Hall got the news and wanted to meet her poker friends. After all, she had been delayed for so long by the epidemic and couldn't play cards. She was itching to play cards again, and she was even thinking about the ten taels of silver that Yu Ying'er had won two months ago.

"Oh, I saw the sisters from far away. Are you planning to play mahjong together again? Why don't you call me?" Lu Yingfeng arrived at the main hall before they entered the house, and started joking.

Yu Ying'er narrowed her eyes and smiled, "How could I forget Sister Xin? Come with me into the house."

Because Lu Yingfeng was muttering about mahjong, the four of them actually took turns playing mahjong after entering the house, and also brought Hongyao over for everyone to see.

First, Fei Yunyan looked at him carefully, and even poked Hong Yao's face, poking out the saliva in Hong Yao's mouth, which was quite cute.

Cao Qinmo played the cards in her hand and looked at Hongyao from time to time. Seeing that Hongyao was a smart boy with fast eyes, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sixth Prince's eyes are really wise. He is not worse than the third prince who is only six or seven years old."

"I also think that the Sixth Prince is intelligent. He is many times better than the Third Prince that Concubine Qi always talks about." Fei Yunyan also praised, her eyes full of joy.

The Third Prince is already over six years old and is now in school. They are not very familiar with him and are annoyed by listening to Concubine Qi nagging him all day long. As a result, they also dislike the Third Prince who only grows taller.

Yu Ying'er smiled but said nothing, but Hong Yao seemed to understand what his aunt said. He cried out "ah ah" and waved his little arms to try to pull Fei Yunyan's hand.

"Oh, this Sixth Prince can actually grab things. He holds my hand like this and smiles happily. I am also very happy to see him." Fei Yunyan only felt that she was being held by such a little baby's soft hand, and her heart was warm.

These words caught the attention of Cao Qinmo and Lu Yingfeng. They looked at little Hongyao quickly and saw that he was well-behaved. He was actually holding Fei Yunyan's hand and laughing happily.

Suddenly, several people stopped playing cards and went to tease Hongyao. This child was really obedient. Even though several aunts rubbed and hugged him, he didn't get angry or cry. Instead, he gave everyone a professional smile.

"Sister Rou, what plans do you have for Hongyao's future?" Cao Qinmo asked casually, without stopping her hand that was touching Hongyao, and straightened out the swaddling clothes that had been messed up by everyone.

Yu Ying'er raised her eyes and looked at Cao Qinmo. She didn't understand what Cao Qinmo meant by testing her, but fortunately Qiqi knew it, so she also knew it.

"Hongyao is the emperor's eldest brother. His future plans are arranged by the emperor. How can we concubines criticize him? Sister Wenpin, we should understand that as long as we have the intention, the rest depends on the emperor's wishes." Yu Ying'er smiled mysteriously.

Cao Qinmo understood Yu Ying'er's plan from her words and smile, and responded with a smile: "Sister is really insightful. I like Hongyao. If there is anything in the future, you can come to Jingyang Palace to find me. If I can help, I will certainly contribute my part."

This statement shows a stance.

Fei Yunyan was still confused, but the smart Lu Yingfeng heard it clearly and even had a plan in mind.

"Then I would like to thank you very much, sister." Yu Ying'er naturally accepted Cao Qinmo's kindness to her. It was something that belonged to her alone and was not obtained by relying on Nian Shilan.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Cao Qinmo placed the child in the nurse's arms and said with a smile, "This child has been out playing with us for a while now, and he's tired now. It's time to take him down to bed and let him get some rest to recuperate."

Seeing this, Yu Ying'er looked at her child whose face had changed from a professional smile to a numb one, smiled with some gloating, and ordered someone to take the child away.

"I have bothered my sister for the whole afternoon. I am afraid Wen Yi is crying and looking for me. I will go back to Jingyang Palace first." Cao Qinmo glanced at the sky outside the window. She missed and worried about Wen Yi, so she wanted to say goodbye.

When Fei Yunyan saw Cao Qinmo was about to leave, she followed him.

After the palace had quieted down, Lu Yingfeng looked at Yu Ying'er and said with a tone that sounded as though he were reminding her or worried about her: "Princess Wen is very active in thinking. People who are too smart are often the most difficult to control. You have to be careful."

Lu Yingfeng was not trying to compete for the position of the top leader beside Yu Ying'er, but now she was also on Yu Ying'er's side, so she had to consider the others who wanted to return to the team, for fear of being implicated and bringing trouble to Shuhe.

"Of course I listened to what you said, sister. But no matter how scheming Concubine Wen is, she has a motherly heart just like you." Yu Ying'er said with a smile.

Lu Yingfeng was shocked at first, but then he understood.

Yes, Cao Qinmo had been able to endure humiliation under Concubine Hua for Wen Yi, and even remained silent when she was beaten and scolded. How could she not do the same for Wen Yi now...

She got it!

"I used to think you were someone who needed some advice, but I never thought that Empress Rou was indeed an empress. Her scheming and methods were beyond my reach. I am convinced." At this moment, Lu Yingfeng was truly convinced by Yu Ying'er and was willing to make plans for her and Hong Yao. Oh no... She was planning for herself and Shuhe.

Yu Ying'er took Lu Yingfeng's hand, pouted, and said coquettishly: "Sister, I remember everything you taught me, and I am grateful to you. This deep palace is not as simple as we see. There are many things that I need to ask you for advice."

"You." Lu Yingfeng turned around and smiled at him.

……

"Zhen Huan" was imprisoned in Sui Yu Xuan and was never allowed to leave.

The Nian family has made great progress in the research on smallpox and has even started experiments. Under the arrangement of Nian Shilan and Yu Ying'er, the Nian family specially allowed Wei Lin to follow.

With Wei Lin as the main person, the Nian family sent some inconspicuous people to help him, and all the credit was given directly to Wei Lin.

Wei Lin used to follow Wen Shichu and had to go hungry nine times out of three days. It was fine that he didn't get any reward for working overtime with Wen Shichu in the palace during his rest time, but his master only cared about love affairs and completely left him alone. Now that his master was dismissed, he would take over the vacant position of official imperial physician. If the smallpox case was successful, he would have a bright future.

Career-mad Wei Lin says he has a bright future ahead of him.
