The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Meng Wenyao seemed to understand and occasionally asked, "Ping'er, what are your plans for the future?"

"I want to serve you all my life." Ping'er tried her best to show her loyalty.

As if Meng Wenyao didn't understand Ping'er's subtlety, she said with relief: "I will be a widow for the rest of my life. It's rare that you want to follow me for the rest of my life. I will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future."

Ping'er was so anxious that she wanted to say it herself, but she was just saying it, she didn't really want to stay and serve a widow for the rest of her life.

Since you want to send a loyal person who wants to be a concubine to serve Concubine Bao, isn't she just the right person?

Fortunately, Ping'er still had some dignity, and she endured for a long time before leaving reluctantly.

In the next few days, Meng Wen Yao and Hua Mian mentioned this matter from time to time.

"Seeing that Sanqi is coming soon, and the candidate has not been decided yet, it really makes me anxious. Hua Mian, how about I write a letter to my mother and ask her to pick someone from home to come over?"

Ping'er was wiping the table. When she heard this, she almost turned around and knelt down to say that she was willing. Then she heard Hua Mian say, "I think the young lady is too picky in choosing people. There are many good ones in our courtyard who are willing to go. But the young lady thinks they are not good enough. Maybe the third young master likes simple ones."

Meng Wenyao chuckled and said, "You are just lying with your eyes open. Haven't you seen the concubines in the Third Young Master's courtyard? Every one of them is like a fairy. If I give her an ordinary one, how can I compete with those people for favor? How can I raise a child in the future?"

Hua Mian said indifferently, "Miss, winning favor doesn't just rely on looks, otherwise the concubine wouldn't be nearly forty years old and still be so obsessed with the prince. I heard that the concubine relies on those drugs. When the time comes, as long as the people we send over use the drugs, I guarantee that the third young master will also be unable to leave her. Wouldn't the child be born soon?"

"Is there really such a medicine?" Meng Wen Yao didn't believe it.

"Of course you don't have any. Miss, you are a boudoir lady, so of course you don't know. I have asked someone to bring some over. Miss, you just need to pick a good person, and I will personally give the medicine to her. I guarantee that she will be able to charm the Third Young Master."

Ping'er's heart was beating like a drum after hearing these words. Although she was not too ugly, if she really had the help of medicine, the success rate would naturally be higher. As long as she gave birth to the Third Young Master's child, she would not only have the status of a concubine, but the child would also be the only blood of the First Young Master. She would never let anyone else snatch this unique good luck.

She turned around and was about to kneel down at Meng Wen Yao's feet, striving for the opportunity to rise to the top and become a phoenix.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Meng Wenyao suddenly said, "Let Xiaohong go. I think she is more likable. Maybe she will be favored in the future."

"Well, tomorrow will be the eldest son's third son's day. You let Xiaohong follow me and show up in front of the third son to see his attitude. As long as the third son doesn't dislike it, I will send Xiaohong to the concubine in the evening to cultivate feelings with the third son first."

"it is good."

While Ping'er was still confused, Xiaohong had already been called in. Meng Wenyao smiled and encouraged her with a few words, then rewarded her with a purse and let her go.

When Ping'er left in a daze, there was only one voice in her head, that her chance to become a concubine in a legitimate way was gone. Even if she became Xie Jinbao's concubine with the help of Concubine Bao, the child's future would be bleak, and it would not be as good as raising him as a child of Meng Wenyao.

No, she couldn't let Xiaohong get such an opportunity. No one else could get such an opportunity except her.

She secretly took the secret medicine away while Meng Wen Yao and Hua Mian were preparing for the eldest son's priest. She wanted to become Xie Jinbao's person before Meng Wen Yao sent Xiao Hong away. In this way, even if Meng Wen Yao didn't choose her, she would have to choose her, not to mention that she had the help of Concubine Bao.

At night, Meng Wen Yao discovered that the secret medicine had been replaced, and she knew that the fish had been hooked.

Early the next morning, she brought Hua Mian and Xiao Hong to the main hall to attend the eldest son's 37th day memorial service. Although there were not as many guests as at the funeral, Xie Chenyi and Xie Jinbao were also very busy.

Finally, when the ceremony was over, Meng Wen Yao found the right opportunity and had someone give the note to Xie Jinbao.

Xie Jinbao was so busy all day taking care of the eldest son's Sanqi that he was dizzy, especially next to his legitimate son Xie Chenyi, he couldn't perform badly.

Just as he was leading the guests to their meal, someone pushed him. He looked up and was about to scold, but found a note in his hand.

It only said: On the night of the eldest master’s wedding, I saw you go to his courtyard, and I was waiting for you in the west wing of Jinlan Courtyard.

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Xie Jinbao's forehead. He and Ma Yang had agreed that night that there would be no one in the eldest master's yard.

Who could have seen him? Could it be someone else besides the maid in Meng Wen Yao's yard?

This was the only loophole he could think of, but no matter what, he had to solve it now. Otherwise, if he was discovered, he would never be able to clear himself of suspicion in front of so many guests.

He watched as everyone around him entered the dining room in an orderly manner. He found an opportunity to slip out, thinking that no one would notice him.

Seeing Xie Jinbao leave, Meng Wen Yao signaled Xiaohong that it was time to take action.

Xiaohong followed Xie Jinbao and left. Not long after she left, she met Ping'er, who had been looking for an opportunity to meet Xie Jinbao.

"Ping'er, why are you here? Didn't the young lady ask you to watch the yard?"

Ping'er felt a little guilty. She knew that Meng Wenyao was going to send Xiaohong away tonight, and she had to become Xie Jinbao's woman before that, otherwise the opportunity would be gone.

She said in panic, "I broke a screen and was worried that the young lady would blame me when she returned, so I hid and didn't dare to go back. Good sister, can you help me persuade the young lady to let me go this time?"

Xiaohong thought about what Meng Wen Yao had told her. Whenever she met Ping'er, she would do whatever Ping'er told her to do. Although she felt a little strange in her heart, she still followed Meng Wen Yao's instructions and finished the rest of her words.

"Okay, but the Third Young Master is going to change his clothes. Miss asked me to go over and see if I can show my face in front of the Third Young Master. Since you have something to ask of me, you can go over and see. If the Third Young Master asks someone to serve him, remember to be smart."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Just like a donkey that has caught a carrot, Ping'er did not consider how big the pit was. It was her impatience that made Meng Wenyao's clumsy plan succeed so easily.

Ping'er said goodbye to Xiaohong and quickly followed Xie Jinbao. Seeing him enter the west wing of Jinlan Courtyard, Ping'er clutched the secret medicine in her hand, found the tea room, put it in the teapot, and carried it in with her head down.

Since Xie Jinbao entered the room, he has been nervously waiting for someone to come over. He wants to see who else in this palace dares to threaten him.
