Yingcan walked up quickly and asked, "What? Are you saying that Concubine Lan specially sent someone to ask about the young lady?"

The young eunuch nodded and said, "Yes, the Empress was very creative and prepared different things for the ladies in each palace. Empress Lan was worried about the noble lady and even sent someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask the noble lady what it was."

Song Qingwan's already pale face looked even more pale at this moment.

"I understand that Empress Lan has good intentions. Please leave first."

Song Qingwan dismissed the eunuch calmly. When Yingcan saw the eunuch walking away, he quickly closed the door. When he saw Song Qingwan was about to pick up the medicine pillow to examine it, Yingcan quickly stopped her and said,

"My lady, please do not touch that medicine pillow! It would be better if you let me check it first!"

Upon hearing this, Song Qingwan put down her hand that had just been raised.

Yingcan held the medicine pillow in his arms, examined it carefully, and took a deep breath at the end of the thread, but he didn't smell anything wrong...

"My lady, can you let me use a pair of scissors to untie the thread and see what's inside?" Ying Can asked.

Song Qingwan nodded and said, "Okay, you take it off first, and then I'll let Haitang sew it back on."

After getting Song Qingwan's approval, Yingcan carefully cut open the seams and gently picked out the threads one stitch at a time, revealing the medicinal materials inside.

Yingcan looked through them one by one. They contained common ingredients such as cassia seed, chrysanthemum, buckwheat, lavender and mugwort, and there was nothing harmful to pregnant women.

Yingcan frowned and said, "My lady, I didn't find anything wrong..."

Song Qingwan consoled him, "Isn't it a good thing that you didn't notice it? Look at the space between your eyebrows, it's almost like the Chinese character '川'!"

Yingcan explained, "My lady always makes fun of me. If I had found something, I would have taken out something bad. But she didn't find anything. I feel very nervous..."

Song Qingwan patted Yingcan's shoulder and said, "I understand your concerns. Concubine Lan specially sent people to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check what I have. She must have bad intentions and wants to make a big fuss!"

"But the eunuch confessed himself. We have no relationship with him, but he came up and told us such an important thing. Yingcan, have you ever suspected that he was trying to cover up something?"

Yingcan suddenly realized and said, "I was prejudiced! I was thinking about how Concubine Lan would deal with us!"

Song Qingwan said, "Well, put the medicine pillow away first. If the queen asks about it, you can find an excuse to get away with it."

Yingcan nodded and said, "Yes, I will put that thing away right away."

Night comes quietly

Inside the palace, clusters of brilliant fireworks rose high in the sky, and there were crackling sounds of firecrackers. It was so lively!

In the hall, Xiao Rui raised his glass and said, "May the new year be better than the old year! May our celebration be prosperous and strong!"

Seeing this, the others also stood up and raised their glasses and said, "Congratulations to Daqing for its prosperity! The rich and powerful people!"

Xiao Rui said, "Okay, okay! Sit down, everyone. Today the palace has arranged fine wine and delicious food, stringed instruments, music, and graceful singing and dancing. Let's all enjoy it together!"

Prince Yun smiled with his big belly bulging, "Okay, okay, the emperor has arranged it so well, we can just feast our eyes on it hahahaha"

Xiao Rui raised the corner of his mouth. "Uncle Wang, you're welcome! Let's drink together today!"

The men were toasting each other in the hall, and the women were not idle either, chatting quietly.

Concubine Ru ordered someone to bring the dish on her table, which was only available to concubines and above, to the table in front of Zuo Wenyi.

Zuo Wenyi was flattered and looked at Rupin with gratitude, "Your Majesty..."

Rupin smiled and said, "How about you try it! Is it to your liking?"

Manxu put the food in Zuo Wenyi's bowl. After taking a bite and tasting it, Zuo Wenyi nodded to Rupin and said, "It's very good, Madam~"

After hearing this, Rupin said, "Okay, since you are used to it, I'll leave it there!"

Concubine Lan looked at Rupin with disdain and said, "Oh, Rupin has been getting very close to Zuo Changzai recently!"

Rupin replied tactfully, "You are too polite, Lady Lan. Sisters in the palace are from the same family, so naturally they should be closer."

Lan Fei didn't buy it. "Humph, who knows what you are planning?"

On the high seat, a young eunuch came to the queen's ear and whispered for a while, after which the queen smiled with satisfaction.

When Concubine Lan saw this, she deliberately raised her voice and asked, "Hey, Queen, what are you laughing at? Today is a happy day, so tell us so that we can all have fun together!"
