"This child is growing up so fast, and getting cuter and cuter."

Hai Lan looked at Yong Qi with loving eyes and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

After hearing what Hai Lan said, Yi Huan nodded and agreed, "Sister Yupin is right. Yongqi is smart and will definitely have a bright future when he grows up."

Hai Lan smiled and nodded, and said with some emotion: "Well, it's still Sister Ling who knows how to raise a child."

She knew in her heart that since Yongqi followed Sister Ling Fei, her treatment was much better than before, not to mention Yongqi.

Although Concubine Ling was not Yongqi's biological mother, Yongqi was raised under Concubine Ling's name since birth.

Zimu really did what he said at the beginning and treated Yongqi as his own son and loved him.

It was also because Zimu was favored that the emperor would spend most of every month with Yongqi, and Yongqi also received more attention and care from the emperor.

In comparison, he simply could not give Yongqi the same treatment.

So Hai Lan now also thinks that it was a wise choice for the emperor to entrust Yongqi to Concubine Ling for upbringing.

However, Hailan felt a little helpless.

She knew that she was no longer young, and the stretch marks on her belly were like traces of time, deeply engraved on her body.

These lines seemed to remind her that she had lost the chance to be favored again and could never have her own children again.

But she did not complain because she knew her situation very well.

Now, Yongqi can get better development by following Concubine Ling.

Moreover, she had a close relationship with Concubine Ling, and she was very grateful to Concubine Ling because she never stopped her from seeing Yongqi.

At the same time, she also understood that the reason why the Imperial Household Department did not treat her perfunctorily just because she was not favored by the emperor was because the Minister in Charge of the Imperial Household Department was Concubine Ling's father.

In this way, even if she was no longer favored, the people in the Imperial Household Department would not dare to offend her easily. After all, they still had to consider Concubine Ling's face.

Zimu looked at little Yongqi who was playing with the educational toys prepared for him in the distance, his eyes full of pride: "Of course, my son is the best."

Hailan responded with a smile: "Well, I see, the saying that the child looks like the one who raised it is true."

Her gaze shifted from Yongqi to Concubine Ling, and she secretly sighed in her heart.

Indeed, under the training of Concubine Ling, Yongqi became smarter, more lively and full of energy.

Hai Lan now dares not imagine whether Yongqi would be as smart and lively as he is now if he had really given Yongqi to Concubine Xian to raise.

In the past few years, Hai Lan has gradually figured out some things. The reason why Empress Xian was able to remain clean and untainted by the dust before was, after all, because she said things for her that she could not say.

That's why she can maintain her image of being as calm as a chrysanthemum and not competing or fighting. Even if Yongqi is handed over to her to raise, Yongqi's fate will probably be no different from that of the previous eldest prince.

Fortunately, the eldest prince went to Concubine Hui's Xianfu Palace after staying in Zhongcui Palace for a few months. Now the eldest prince has become more lively and confident due to Concubine Hui's care.

Afterwards, the three of them sat together and chatted for a while. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Yihuan talked about trivial matters in the palace and shared each other's joys and sorrows.

Hailan listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words, feeling this rare tranquility and harmony.

"Sister Shu, I've actually wanted to ask you a question for a long time, but I just didn't know how to start."

"What do you want to ask, sister? I will tell you everything I know."

"I just want to know if you really like the emperor's poetry and literary talent?"

Yi Huan suddenly blushed and stammered in a low voice: "To be honest, the emperor's poem... is really ordinary."

Zimu patted Yihuan's hand and said in relief: "Very good, this shows that your cultural literacy has not been disturbed."

Because Hailan's parents died early, she has lived under the care of her uncle since she was a child.

Her uncle's family lived a difficult life, and her aunt disliked having her as an extra mouth to feed, so Hailan didn't get much education.

Now I understand why Zimu and Yihuan got together to dislike the poem written by the emperor.

Originally, Hai Lan really admired Empress Xian and sincerely thought that she was a talented woman, but after getting to know Zi Mu and Yi Huan, Hai Lan found that it was not the case at all.

Just like what Empress Xian often said in the past: Looking at each other from afar on the wall and horse, I was heartbroken as soon as I saw you.

This story was also explained to her by her son Mu at this time.

After knowing the origin and background story of this phrase, Hai Lan realized how inappropriate it was for a concubine to say this phrase so often.

"I see......"

Hai Lan couldn't help but chuckle, "I've always thought this poem must be very affectionate to be mentioned by Concubine Xian for so many years."

Yi Huan also laughed: "Sister Ling and I are together all the time, so naturally we have to share interesting things with each other. However, our emperor's literary talent is indeed very average."

Zi Mu shook his head slightly and said, "We don't need to be too demanding. After all, the emperor is very busy and doesn't have much time to write poems."

Hai Lan nodded in agreement: "But speaking of which, I envy Sister Ling Fei and Sister Shu for being able to read so many books and understand so much knowledge."

“I didn’t have the opportunity to study when I was young, so I didn’t understand a lot of things.”

"It's okay. It's not too late to learn now." Yi Huan continued to encourage Hai Lan, "Whenever we have time in the future, my sister and Ling Jie can teach you more."

"Then I would like to thank Sister Lingfei and Sister Shu first."

At this moment, Hailan looked at them with gratitude.

To be honest, Hai Lan has been with Empress Xian for many years, but apart from learning about porcelain, jade, jewelry and the like, she hasn't learned anything else.

"Hai Lan, you are actually better than both me and Yi Huan in one aspect, especially me." Zi Mu said with a smile.

Yihuan thought about it but couldn't figure it out, so she asked directly: "Ah? Is there? What is it?"

"Of course, Hailan's needlework is really good. Even if I were to be reborn, I would never be able to catch up with her."

Zimu nodded affirmatively as he spoke.

"Sister Ling is right. Sister Yupin's needlework is really excellent. Even I am ashamed of myself, let alone Sister Ling."

Yihuan thought of the ugly sachet that the emperor had carried with him before and smiled in agreement.

Yihuan thought of it, and Hailan naturally thought of it too, and both of them couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hmm~ What's going on? Do you two have any objections?" Zimu lazily leaned on the soft pillow of the chaise longue and looked at Hailan and Yihuan with raised eyebrows.

Hailan and Yihuan looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, "We dare not."

"That's it, you guys know what's best for you." Zimu smiled with satisfaction after threatening his good sisters.

The three of them smiled at each other and continued chatting. The sunlight shone through the window onto them, making them feel warm and comfortable.
