The imperial concubine was usually dignified and virtuous, but only she knew that she was arrogant and arrogant. After all, she is the emperor's favorite person in the harem! Even though they had Concubine Xin later, the emperor and the queen mother still favored her more.

However, Qianya, who lived in the Epiphyllum Terrace, didn't seem to care about all this. Even though she was forced to kneel by Concubine Xin and saw the love between the emperor and the imperial concubine, she didn't show any jealousy or displeasure. The imperial concubine even felt that there was always a trace of compassion and sigh in her eyes when she looked at her...

Does she know anything?

Did the emperor tell her something?

Even when facing the arrogant and pampered Concubine Xin, the Imperial Concubine has never been timid, but now, why can't she stop being afraid?

Compared with the grand and solemn pregnancy of Imperial Concubine, Jin Guiren, who is also pregnant with a pair of children, is just like grass in the field, and Concubine Ning, who has just lost her child, is even more like being relegated to the cold palace!

In the Forbidden City, Concubine Xin was the one who had the exclusive favor, and what attracted the most attention was the imperial concubine’s belly. People in the palace were speculating whether the imperial concubine would give birth to a boy or a girl. The imperial concubine just closed the door of Changchun Palace, and no one except the queen mother and the emperor could see her.

Although she knew she shouldn't ask, Qian Ya still couldn't help but said, "Why doesn't the Emperor want to see Jin Guiren more?"

"You and Mr. Jin get along quite well." The emperor put down the scroll in his hand and looked at her and asked.

"Yes." Qiya answered truthfully, and then continued, "She is pregnant and has two young children. She only has the status of a noble person, so even eating and drinking will be a problem."

The emperor suddenly smiled, "But do you know how many women in the Forbidden City envy her for being able to give birth to dragon children one after another? Especially when she is still so young."

Xia shook her head, not understanding.

The emperor also shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Xia, what's the point of asking for perfection! There is no perfect life. Jin Guiren already has what she should have, so she has to give up others."

"Then why did the emperor choose Jin Guiren to give birth to a dragon heir?" Xia was suddenly curious, because she really couldn't feel the emperor's love for Jin Guiren.

The emperor turned around, looked at her squarely, and said solemnly, "Because Jin Guiren has a gentle and generous personality, a moderate background, and a good education, such a woman can give birth to good children."

"Isn't it the same for the imperial concubine?" Qian Ya asked again.

"If the imperial concubine has a child of her own, she will inevitably be biased, and other imperial heirs may be treated unfairly. You see, the imperial concubine has nothing else on her mind at the moment." The emperor sighed.

"It's very appropriate for Concubine Xin to be the co-manager of the Sixth Palace!" Qian Ya flicked the handkerchief in her hand.

"Do you seriously think so?!" The emperor smiled again, waved his hand and said, "Concubine Xin is from a low background. I like her beauty and enthusiasm, but that's all."

After hearing this, Qiya's heart sank, and she probably knew that Concubine Xin had no hope of having an heir.

"Then can I meet Jin Guiren?" Xia changed the subject.

"Now that the two concubines in this palace are pregnant, it is a troubled time. It would be better for you to go out less often." The emperor left after saying this. Before leaving, he specially told the guards that without his order, Siya was not allowed to step out of the Epiphyllum. No one else is allowed to enter the Epiphyllum Terrace, including the Queen Mother.

As a result, Xiya began to live in seclusion again. Except for a few palace guards around her, she could not see anyone.

The emperor came every once in a while, as usual, teaching her writing, poetry, and history; occasionally he also talked about his harem.
