Zheng Xiyan continued walking. Biluo noticed Murong Yue and whispered quickly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong." Biluo looked in her direction.

Zheng Xiyan followed her gaze and immediately became alert, "When did she come?"

"I don't know, Your Majesty. It is impossible that Concubine Rong didn't see Your Majesty, but she didn't come forward to salute Your Majesty. Concubine Rong is too rude." Shuang Ning said dissatisfiedly.

"Forget it, just let her be! Why bother with her?" Zheng Xiyan didn't take her seriously at all. Now, she could only jump around like this.

"Let's go back to the palace! I'm a little tired." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

When I returned to Weiyang Palace, the Shanggong Bureau had already sent me this month's Tongshi. I looked through the Tongshi records for the past few days and said in a deep voice, "Lady Li and Concubine Wen have been serving me in the bed these days."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I don't know why, but you suddenly thought of Concubine Wen again." Biluo presented a cup of tea.

Zheng Xiyan closed the book, took the teacup, and took a sip. "After all, Concubine Wen is the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor. Your Majesty ignored her a few days ago. Now she should give the Grand Tutor some face."

"That's what the queen said."

Biluo suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, Madam, there was a letter from Shou'an Palace saying that the second and third princesses are always vomiting milk."

"Has the imperial physician gone to check it out?" Zheng Xiyan asked.

"Yes, it's not a big deal. The concubines took good care of her." Biluo replied.

After all, the second princess and the third princess are Xiao Xuanchen's flesh and blood. If anything happens to them, she will be known as a person who treats concubines harshly.

Zheng Xiyan instructed: "Go to Shou'an Palace in person later and ask the imperial physician carefully. Also, tell the concubines to take good care of the two princesses."

"Yes!"

Zi Rui came in at this time, bowed and said with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty, there is news from Yihua Palace that Concubine Zhao is pregnant."

Biluo and Shuangning looked at her subconsciously with surprise on their faces. "We finally got good news from her. She is a blessed person after all." Zheng Xiyan said calmly.

"Does Your Majesty know?" Zheng Xiyan asked again.

Zi Rui replied, "We have sent someone to notify him. His Majesty should be on his way to Yihua Palace by now."

Zheng Xiyan put down the teacup in her hand, slowly raised her hand, and chuckled, "Let's go! Let's go take a look and congratulate Lady Zhao."

"Yes!" Biluo stepped forward and supported her.

When Zheng Xiyan arrived at Yihua Palace, many concubines were standing outside the palace. "Your servant/concubine pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Everyone get up!" Zheng Xiyan waved her hand.

"Thank you, Queen."

When Zheng Xiyan saw Xiao Xuanchen's imperial sedan, she knew that he had arrived, and he came quite quickly.

Everyone made way, Biluo supported Zheng Xiyan and walked in front, followed by a group of concubines. When they arrived outside the main hall of Yihua Palace, Xiao Xuanchen's laughter was heard from inside.

"Concubine Zhao is pregnant, and everyone in Yihua Palace is rewarding her." Xiao Xuanchen's smile gradually faded, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the dimples at the corners of his lips were full of sweetness.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, my lady." The palace maids knelt down hurriedly to express their gratitude.

Xiao Xuanchen then said happily: "Pass the decree, Concubine Zhao is pregnant, and she is promoted to Concubine Jieyu and given the title of Yi."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Concubine Zhao was overjoyed and excitedly bent over to express her gratitude, but was stopped by Xiao Xuanchen.

Xiao Xuanchen said in a gentle voice: "Hurry up, you are pregnant now, you don't have to bow anymore."

"Yes!" Lady Zhao smiled shyly. She was finally pregnant, and she would have someone to rely on in the future.

When Zheng Xiyan outside the hall heard these words, her expression changed slightly. It was impossible for her not to be shocked, but soon she looked back to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Concubine Zhao suddenly saw the Queen and said quickly, "Your Majesty! The Queen is here."

"Your Majesty, I respectfully wish you the best." Zheng Xiyan bent her knees and saluted.

Seeing her coming, Xiao Xuanchen quickly stood up and walked forward, helped her up, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, your humble concubine."

Just as Lady Zhao was about to perform the ceremony, Zheng Xiyan spoke first, "Concubine Yi is pregnant. His Majesty just said that you don't need to perform the ceremony while you are pregnant."

Concubine Yi was a little terrified because the Queen had just bowed and was now pregnant. She was a little worried, "Thank you, Queen."

Xiao Xuanchen was very happy, "The Queen came at the right time. Shao'er is pregnant. I have just ordered her to be appointed as a concubine, and I was just about to tell the Queen." Speaking of this matter, Xiao Xuanchen did not discuss it with her because he was a little worried that she would not agree.

Shao'er? I guess that's Concubine Yi's maiden name.

"I just heard outside the palace that Concubine Yi is pregnant. She should be promoted. I have no objection." Zheng Xiyan said calmly.

"Good! Very good, the Queen and Concubine Yi are both pregnant. I am very happy. God bless our Daliang." Xiao Xuanchen said in a deep voice.

"As long as your majesty is happy."

Murong Yue and others had different expressions and each had their own ulterior motives, especially the concubines of lower rank. A dancer was about to climb over their heads, and they couldn't hide the jealousy on their faces.

After coming out of Yihua Palace, Zheng Xiyan heard Murong Yue say in a sarcastic tone: "The peach tree is young and tender, and its flowers are bright and beautiful. The daughter is married, and she is suitable for a family. Your Majesty gave the word Yi as the title of Concubine Yi, I wonder what the meaning is?" She didn't believe that Zheng Xiyan didn't know the meaning of this.

Xu Chongyuan was the Queen's person, so she naturally sided with the Queen at this time. She said in a cold voice: "It's just a title. Although His Majesty gave her the word Yi as the title, he only made her a concubine."

"She has only been in the palace for a short time, and she has already been promoted to a concubine. If she gives birth to a prince or a princess, she will definitely be listed among the nine concubines in the future, or even have the possibility of being promoted to a consort. This kind of favor is even greater than the favor that the virtuous consort received back then." Murong Yue pointed the finger at the virtuous consort again.

Xian Fei knew that since Concubine Yi entered the palace, many people had compared the two of them, so she said calmly, "If Concubine Yi can give birth to a prince for Your Majesty, it will be her blessing."

Xu Chongyuan was about to retort, but was interrupted by Zheng Xiyan, "Enough! You are discussing Concubine Yi here before you even leave Yihua Palace. Why didn't you say it in front of His Majesty in the main hall just now?"

Biluo said at this time: "My queen, you have been out for long enough, it's time to go back to the palace and rest."

"Go back to the palace." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

Zheng Xiyan got on the phoenix carriage and left.

The virtuous concubine bowed to Murong Yue and said, "I will take my leave."

As soon as she left, Chen Baolin and Cheng Baolin followed closely behind.

Murong Yue noticed their expressions and sneered, "You can tolerate being ridden on by a little dancer? I really admire you."
