"Your Highness, please be happy. I just heard that your cousin was adopted by the Emperor and was given the title of princess. So I hurried over to congratulate you."

Fuqiu and Jia Yuanchun had known each other for many years and she knew best what words would hurt her heart. She bowed perfunctorily, but Jia Yuanchun couldn't ask her to waive the greeting, so she sat down on her own.

Jia Yuanchun didn't want to argue with her about this, but as soon as Fuqiu came in, she spoke in a sarcastic tone that made people feel uncomfortable. She was so angry that she wanted to teach her a lesson.

But Fuqiu seemed to have seen through her thoughts. Without waiting for Jia Yuanchun to speak, she touched her already visibly pregnant belly and said coquettishly and arrogantly, "Don't blame me, Your Majesty. My belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it is a little inconvenient for me to move. Your Majesty is also pregnant, so I think you can understand the pain of pregnancy. Please forgive me for being disrespectful."

Jia Yuanchun's words were stuck in her heart, and she felt really uncomfortable. "It's okay to say it here, but if it's in front of the Empress Dowager, please don't be so rude."

"Thank you for your advice, Madam. I understand." Fuqiu took a sip of the teacup, frowned in disdain, looked at Jia Yuanchun, and said, "The tea here is not as good as the tea in my palace. I will ask someone to bring some back for you to try."

Jia Yuanchun was disgusted by her alms-giving tone, "I have plenty of tea here, don't bother, just keep it for yourself."

Fuqiu chuckled, as if to show off, or to chat, "How can they be the same? Your Majesty, the tea here is all sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the quota. The kind I'm drinking now was given by the Emperor."

Jia Yuanchun's face became uglier, but Fuqiu seemed not to notice and continued, "The emperor said that although he doesn't have much, as long as I feel good after drinking it, I can ask for it. Even if he doesn't drink it himself, he should save it for me."

Jia Yuanchun wanted to tear off her arrogant face, "Sister, you will know that these material things are nothing when you see more. The most important thing is the emperor's heart."

Fuqiu's family background is not prominent, and Jia Yuanchun's words are a blatant mockery of her for being unsophisticated and treating a little tea as a treasure.

But Fuqiu had endured countless sarcasms and ridicules since entering the palace, and Jia Yuanchun's words sounded like a light feather in the water to her ears, failing to stir up any ripples at all.

She sneered in her heart, thinking that only someone like Jia Yuanchun, who grew up in a pampered environment, would find these words hurtful.

That's right. Before entering the palace, Jia Yuanchun was the eldest granddaughter of the Duke's Mansion and grew up in great pampering. Not long after entering the palace, I fought for her, and I'm afraid I've hardly seen her cold face a few times.

Fuqiu looked at Jia Yuanchun and thought of the ungrateful things she had done. Her words became more and more sharp and hurtful. "Your Majesty is right. I really don't have much knowledge. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to misjudge people and give my heart to the wrong person. In the end, I was betrayed by that villain whose conscience had been eaten by a dog."

Baoqin was furious, "Don't be so presumptuous in front of Her Majesty. If you dare to speak nonsense or disobey her superiors again, I will report it to Her Majesty the Queen Mother..."

"Your Majesty has a good dog." Fuqiu glanced at Baoqin with contempt, not taking her seriously at all, and her eyes were full of mockery. "We are sisters, but Your Majesty actually let a dog bark in front of me. It's really sad."

"You..." Baoqin was almost mad with anger at Fuqiu's insults like a dog.

Jia Yuanchun stopped Baoqin with her eyes, her face slightly tired, "I am also tired today, you should go back first."

Fuqiu's expression suddenly became somewhat sad. "If your majesty does not want to talk to me, I will just leave. Why do you have to say these words and make people feel that we are strangers?"

After saying this, she did not follow Jia Yuanchun's instructions and leave. Instead, she stood up and walked towards Jia Yuanchun step by step.

Baoqin looked alert, took a step forward to stand in front of Jia Yuanchun, opened her mouth to say something, but the next moment, she was hit in the face by Fuqiu's whistling slap.

A red slap mark appeared visibly on the cheek.

Baoqin turned her head angrily and glared at Fuqiu.

Jia Yuanchun was also shocked by this, "I am still here, and you dare to be so arrogant!"

Fuqiu shook her hurt hand, pushed away Baoqin, who was standing between them like a human stake, and looked down at Jia Yuanchun's furious face, "She's just a servant, so just beat her. Does the queen want to vent her anger for her?"

Jia Yuanchun's eyes widened. "You keep calling me a slave now, but you forgot that you were a slave before."

Fuqiu shook her finger and said, "Of course not, but when I was a servant, I was also bullied like this. Why didn't Your Majesty say anything then? Now it's just a slap, but Your Majesty is so distressed and angry with me."

Jia Yuanchun was speechless for a moment.

Fuqiu snorted and laughed, looking at Baoqin, gently touching her red and swollen cheek, "See? Being a slave means being beaten and scolded, so people like us have to climb up. Only when we climb up, we won't be bullied."

Her hands were a little cold, like a poisonous snake, twisting and turning on Baoqin's face, making Baoqin feel hairy all over. He wanted to dodge but didn't dare to, so he could only stand there stiffly.

After waiting for a long time for Fuqiu's hand to leave, Baoqin just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Fuqiu's fingertips painted with bright red cardamom slowly approaching Jia Yuanchun's belly.

Baoqin was startled, and her body reacted before her frightened rationality could return.

Fuqiu was pushed away fiercely. She lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground. Her face turned pale instantly.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden change.

But in an instant, everyone seemed to come back to life.

"Mr. Xuan!"

Baoqin looked at her hands, then at Fuqiu who was lying on the ground, and there was only one sentence left in her mind.

She's finished!

Jia Yuanchun was so frightened by this that her stomach began to hurt, but she had to force herself to calm down and asked several palace maids to help Fuqiu to the inner hall first.

Everyone was panicking.

Since it concerned the royal heir, the imperial physician dared not delay, and his old bones were driven by the desire to survive and he ran as fast as he could.

Fortunately, Fuqiu was strong and the fall did not hurt the fetus.

The imperial physician lowered his head and replied respectfully, not even bothering to wipe the sweat off his face.

He has served in the palace for many years, and he is able to live safely until now, all thanks to four words -

Listen less and watch less.

Knowing too much about the affairs of the nobles will not only bring no benefit, but may also bring disaster to the whole family.

When the emperor learned that the fetus in Fuqiu's belly was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand to let the imperial physician leave, and sat beside the bed, saying a few words of comfort in a gentle voice.

Fuqiu's face was pale and bloodless. She touched her belly in fear and said, "I was really scared just now. If something happens to the child, I don't want to live anymore."
