Get pregnant soon, and beauties will have many happy pregnancies

"Mr. Song is indeed a good man, but Huan'er has just returned from the northern border. There are many things to do in the palace, and I have to help the Honglu Temple entertain envoys from northern countries. I really have no intention of getting married. Huan'er knows that the Queen Mother has a kind heart, but we should not delay Mr. Song's good marriage."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother was dissatisfied and said, "Child, if you don't like her, just say so directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. Why are you being so polite to the Empress?"

Ji Yunhuan handed the brewed tea to the empress dowager, her eyebrows curved and her face smiling childishly.

"Okay, okay, Huan'er is wrong. Song Yan is still young, a little kid. How can he tell good from bad? Huan'er doesn't like this!"

"I'm going to say something that Grandma Empress doesn't like to hear. Prince Rui married another princess. The whole city is talking about me. I'm not that carefree. I hate Prince Rui in my heart. I wanted to go to the northern border to relax, but by chance I encountered the Wujin people's rebellion. Huan'er made military achievements. Now the whole city is praising my kung fu. I haven't humiliated the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. I'm very happy."

"Now I just want to do a good job for His Majesty, entertain those envoys well, let them see what a great country is like, and make them convinced. Winning the battle is one thing, and there are many follow-up matters. Grandma, Huan'er is very happy now~"

Although she didn't know what the future would hold, the Queen Mother's love and care for her were genuine now, and she should return the same sincerity and make the Queen Mother happy.

The Queen Mother laughed so hard that her mouth couldn't close. "Your Majesty loves to hear this. Rui'er was wrong in the first place. He also went to the Duke's Mansion to bother you every other day. You should ignore him. The next time he comes to the palace, Your Majesty will have a good talk with him."

"I was thinking that if you get engaged first, Rui'er wouldn't have the face to bother you. I'm not urging you to get married, but since you don't like it, just forget it."

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen, "Song Yan came to me to beg, and I have already spoken on his behalf. Don't mention this matter again. He is still young, and he should concentrate on the imperial examinations. There is no rush for marriage."

The queen responded and shed tears of sympathy for her nephew who was in love with her.

Looking at Ji Yunhuan's frank look, it is clear that he really has no feelings for Song Yan at all.

But Ji Yunhuan was very different today, with a cheerful face and bright clothes. She thought she was dressing up for Song Yan, but now it seems that Huan'er has someone else in her heart.

When Huan'er married Prince Rui, she was not so lively and bright. She just moved to a new place to mourn for her relatives.

Now it seems that he has really come out of it.

Ji Yunhuan didn't say anything and she didn't ask. It was a good thing after all and she was happy for Huan'er.

The three of them chatted some more and the atmosphere was very harmonious. The Queen Mother hugged Ji Yunhuan and laughed heartily.

Hongying came in from outside and was happy to see the Empress Dowager. She was also happy, "Miss Ji is really capable. She always eats half a bowl of rice every time she comes to see the Empress Dowager. You can stay for dinner later. I have already asked the small kitchen to start preparing."

"Outside, Concubine Jiang asked to see you and pay her respects to the Queen Mother and the Empress. She said that the Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon, and she doesn't have anything to show, so she embroidered a double-sided embroidery herself, praying for the Queen Mother's longevity."

The Queen Mother leaned back on the couch, her brows relaxed and she was in a very good mood, but she was not prepared to see Concubine Jiang.

She didn't like timid women. Concubine Jiang didn't please her and she felt annoyed every time she saw her. Besides, the emperor had so many concubines and not all of them had the courage to be filial to her.

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said casually, "Let her kowtow at the door and leave. Leave the birthday gift behind and store it in the storeroom."

Hongying knew this was the case. The Empress Dowager refused to see Concubine Jiang when she came to pay her respects. The Empress Dowager had seen all kinds of good things, and she would not personally see the birthday gift.

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and then said, "I forgot that she is the mother of the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince has made great contributions this time. The mother is honored by her son. Hongying, go to the storehouse and find a pair of jade bracelets and give them to her on my behalf. It is hard for her to be so filial."

Ji Yunhuan suddenly said, "I would like to see this double-sided embroidery. It is said that both sides have different patterns, which are lifelike. I don't know how they did it. It is very unique."

"Last time, the Empress Dowager gave Prince Yi many gifts. I have already delivered them. Prince Yi also asked me to bring something to Concubine Jiang. It is not a valuable thing, but it looks like it came from Jiangnan. It is also a token of Prince Yi's filial piety."

"Since Concubine Jiang is here, let's give it to her so I don't have to make another trip."

Ji Yunhuan spoke, and the Queen Mother summoned Concubine Jiang to come in.

Concubine Jiang was wearing an old-fashioned palace dress. The material looked like it was made many years ago and the color wasn’t pretty either, which made her look even more listless.

She walked forward and knelt down properly before the Queen Mother, bowed and greeted her, then paid her respects to the Queen. There was nothing wrong with her.

Jiang Bin even saluted Ji Yunhuan, which frightened Ji Yunhuan so much that she quickly stood up and gave Jiang Bin a helping hand, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. I am a junior, how can I accept your salute?"

Concubine Jiang even bowed, which was considered as a greeting.

The Empress Dowager did not like Concubine Jiang's behavior. She preferred bright and beautiful women, such as Ji Yunhuan's mother. The Empress Dowager regarded her as a confidant and they became close friends.

Ji Yunhuan had a weak health when she was a child, but she was pretty, very lovable, and smart, and the empress dowager loved her very much.

The Queen Mother has lived to this age and does whatever she wants. She pampers those she likes and ignores those she doesn't like.

"Can't the Eighth Prince enter the palace himself? He has to trouble Huan'er to run errands for him. How ignorant!"

The Queen explained, "According to convention, the prince can indeed enter the palace at any time, but this is a grace. Your Majesty did not make it clear. The Eighth Prince is a dull person, so he naturally would not ask for it. He has always been disciplined and cautious, and he will definitely not enter the palace without being summoned."

Concubine Jiang hesitated and said, "Yes, Yi'er is the most prudent one. He definitely didn't mean to bother Miss Ji. It was because I mentioned it last time that Yi'er found a way to collect these little things."

Jiangpin knelt down again and said, "I won't dare to do it again next time. Please don't blame Yi'er, Queen Mother. It's all my fault."

The Queen Mother was particularly upset. She just didn't like this about Concubine Jiang: she was too cautious and knelt at every turn, which was very boring.

Ji Yunhuan finally understood where Yuwen Yi's sensitive and thoughtful character came from, but it couldn't be blamed on Concubine Jiang. It was not easy to survive in the palace. If it weren't for Concubine Jiang's soft character and the Queen's occasional care, Concubine Xiao would definitely kill the mother and son.

Ji Yunhuan quickly pulled Jiangpin up and said, "The Queen Mother didn't blame me. She just felt sorry for the Eighth Prince."

The Queen Mother did not want to frighten the timid Concubine Jiang, so she followed Ji Yunhuan's words and said, "Perhaps the Emperor neglected and forgot about this matter. Let me pass on my imperial decree that Prince Yi can enter the palace at any time in the future. If he wants to fulfill his filial duty, let him enter the palace by himself and don't trouble Huan'er."
