When Ah Ruo left the Ministry of Punishment with her broken body, only Jiang Yubin and Yunzhi Lingzhi, who were invited by Suo Xin, were waiting for her. Her mistress was embroidering in the palace and wanted Suo Xin to fan her closely, so she couldn't leave.

She was supported by two little maids all the way back to Yanxi Palace. Since her father was sent out to serve as an official, A Ruo's eyes wandered to the top of her head, and she often scolded the little maids, and A Ruo couldn't help but blush.

Lingzhi saw Ah Ruo's embarrassment and smiled to comfort her: "Everyone in Yanxi Palace knows how good your sister is. We all miss her very much."

The master was always under house arrest and out of favor. Every time Qin Li received something, he was embarrassed. Previously, when Sister A Ruo went to make a scene, she could get some inferior items from the quota. During the month when A Ruo was away, all they had was rotten silk and rotten rice.

Back at the Yanxi Palace, Ruyi came out to greet her, holding Aruo's hand tightly to comfort her and encourage her. Aruo felt sore all over, as if her limbs had been broken apart and reassembled. She just wanted to go back and rest. But she also had to smile and thank her master, not to let her master down.

A Ruo was feeling better and wanted to go back to work. During her absence,惢心 had worked hard. As soon as she walked outside the main hall, she heard the conversation between Ruyi and惢心.

"Aruo is now old enough to get married. I plan to marry her to a good family, but with Aruo's temper, she will only harm herself if she stays in the palace. I originally wanted to appoint her as a royal guard, so that she can rise to prominence someday, but it will inevitably involve her in the palace, which will definitely be troublesome. Aruo has been with me for so many years, so I must pay attention to her marriage. When my mother comes to the palace to see me one day, I will ask her to choose a good family for her."

惢心: When will old lady Nala be able to enter the palace? If the master continues to fall out of favor and cannot conceive an heir, it will be difficult for the lady to have the opportunity to enter the palace.

A Ruo: How can a poor family like you, Ulanara, find a good family?

A Ruo was in a difficult mood and just quietly found a rockery in the imperial garden to cry. She had been with her master since she was very young. Her father gradually made achievements and wanted to ask the Ulanara family to let her go back to the Suocho Luo Mansion. It was her master who said that he couldn't bear to let her go and let her marry into the palace.

Even if we don't care about the past affection, I just took the blame for my master and was punished. She has always indulged me to scold people for her, and now it has become my bad temper that I am not even qualified to marry into a good family.

She wanted to simply assign herself to be a manager or a poor person, but she couldn't do that.

A Ruo's crying startled the noble lady Jia, the head of the Forbidden City's first street.

Through her tearful eyes, a snow-white jade hand reached out to her. A Ruo got angry and stood up and walked towards Concubine Jia.

The good news of pregnancy came one after another from two noble ladies in the palace, which caused a huge stir. There had not been such a big happy event in the palace for a long time.

Jin Yuyan and Bai Ruiji were both pregnant for the first time, so Zhen Huan sent experienced midwives to the two palaces early on, one to give them some instructions and the other to comfort the two new mothers.

"I have been serving the emperor for half a year. If I still haven't gotten pregnant after half a year, it must be my bad luck." Bai Ruiji, who was still young, couldn't help showing off at the morning meeting.

This sentence really hit Gao Xiyue and Ruyi's lungs. Ruyi was choked with anger, but she only smiled faintly and didn't argue with her.

Imperial Concubine Hui was not one to hold back her anger, and she could not help but sarcastically say, "Come on, Concubine Mei, please sit down quickly. Be careful not to get bumped or you will lose this blessing."

Zhen Huan just watched them bickering as if she were watching children quarreling.

Taking advantage of the blooming chrysanthemums, Changchun Palace held a tea party again. Everyone stayed voluntarily. Su Lian bowed to Concubine Chun and solemnly invited her to the banquet. Su Lujun looked at everyone's teasing eyes and smiled shyly. She said that the queen was really, and she still remembered the joke at that time, which made her embarrassed.

Lianxin went to ask Mei for permission, and Bai Ruiji, who was at an age when she loved lively occasions, also went there happily.

The imperial concubine's song "Ten Sides of Ambush" completely conquered Bai Ruiji. The emperor once praised the imperial concubine as a national master. Now it seems that this statement is true.

"Xiyue really showed me today what it means when a silver bottle breaks and water splashes out, and when iron cavalry charges out and swords and guns ring," Zhen Huan praised.

Gradually the atmosphere became more pleasant, and people gathered in groups of three or four to chat, drink tea, appreciate the flowers and have fun.

Jin Yuyan looked at Bai Ruiji silently and said, "I'm sorry, sister. Who allowed your child to come with mine?"

No one can take any attention away from my child.

"Sister Chunpin, there is a rumor among the people that pregnant women who eat more fish and shrimp can give birth to smart children. Is this true?" Jin Yuyan pulled Chunpin aside to talk about pregnancy and childbirth, which attracted Bai Ruiji and she immediately got to the point.

When Zhen Huan heard this question, she said, "Everyone's body constitution is different, and the nutrition needed during pregnancy naturally varies from person to person. I will send the imperial physician to check your pulse from time to time, so just rest assured, sisters."

"Also, you should eat in moderation during pregnancy. Fish and shrimp are mostly cold foods, so you need to be more cautious."

"Yes, I understand your advice." Bai Ruiji took Zhen Huan's words to heart.

Concubine Jia had no choice but to try other means.

In late autumn, Bai Ruiji was pregnant and felt cold, so she increased the use of charcoal in Yonghe Palace.

In Qixiang Palace, Jin Yuyan had severe pregnancy reactions. She could not eat every day and could not sleep well at night. Just after she vomited, Li Xin helped her to rest, and the palace maid came to report that the Queen had arrived.

Jin Yuyan thought that the queen came to visit her, but when she saw clearly that the queen was taking Zhenshu, Xiao Luzi and Xiao Fuzi away, all the blood drained from her face.

"Noble Lady Jia, you attempted to murder the heir to the throne. Do you want to bury the entire Yu family with him?" Let's be frank. When Zhenshu was making a deal with Xiao Luzi from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she was caught on the spot by Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan got straight to the point.

Little Luzi and Little Fuzi were so scared that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging Zhen Huan for mercy. "Queen, please spare us. Zhenshu bribed us to send charcoal mixed with cinnabar to Concubine Mei."

Zhenshu only said that it was her own idea and had nothing to do with Yu and Jia Guiren. "Well, you are so bold, I will torture you to death."

When Jin Yuyan heard that the queen was going to torture Jeong Suk to death, she could no longer bear it. She knelt down and hugged Jeong Suk, fearing that someone would take her away.

"Empress, please spare Zhenshu's life. I was the one who ordered her to do that. How dare she, a servant, disobey her master's order?" Jin Yuyan cried miserably.

She had originally planned to use cinnabar-laced charcoal to abort Consort Mei's pregnancy, and then use A Ruo to push the pregnancy onto Consort Xian. But before she could implement her plan, she was caught by the Queen on the spot. It seemed that there were many of the Queen's spies in the palace.

Zhen Huan ignored Jin Yuyan's pleas, and Zhao Yitai tried to pull Zhen Shu away. Jin Yuyan hugged Zhen Shu tightly, "If anyone dares to touch Zhen Shu, I will die here."

Thinking of the royal heir, Zhao Yitai didn't dare to move anymore and just looked at Zhen Huan hesitantly.

Jin Yuyan and her servant whispered, "Master, please give up this servant. You still have a chance to save the heir to the throne. The hope of the crown prince lies with you."

Jin Yuyan shook her head: "I want you to live."

"Yuyan, is it worth it for a cowardly and heartless man?" Zhen Huan asked after the others left.
