A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

Ministry of Internal Affairs

Meng'er, who was beside Concubine Lan, came to pick up something and happened to meet Bicui from the Queen's palace who was also there.

I saw Bi Cui with her hands on her hips saying, "Manager Lin, how do you people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs do things? You can't even make a solid medicine pillow!"

Seeing Meng'er coming, Bicui cleared her throat and continued, "The medicine pillow that Concubine Yu had received broke after just a few times of use. It is now lying aside. It is because of your negligence that the Empress's thoughtfulness was wasted."

After hearing this, Meng'er's expression became complicated. She pretended to pick out materials on the side, but she pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.

The chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, these subordinates are not doing their job well. I will punish them severely later! We must not let the queen be disappointed."

"Use the best gold thread and have the embroidery workshop make another one! This time it must be beautiful and solid!"

Beatrice said, "That's good!"

After Beatrice took the things, she turned around and left without even looking at Meng'er who was standing beside her.

Meng'er watched Bicui walk away, so she came to the steward and asked, "What's wrong, Steward Lin? What is Bicui doing with the chicken feather as a token of authority again?"

Manager Lin sighed and said, "Oh, Miss Meng'er, don't mention it. This noble lady Yu herself doesn't take good care of her things, and the Empress has to blame our Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

Meng'er pretended to comfort him, "Don't take it too seriously, Manager Lin. Concubine Yu is pregnant now, and she is so precious! What can we servants do?"

Manager Lin said, "Yes, by the way, Miss Meng'er is here to get the materials, right? There are still a lot in the warehouse, Xiao Xuzi, move some more out for Miss Meng'er to choose from!"

After hearing this, the young eunuch hurried to the storehouse to fetch some fabrics for Meng'er to choose from. However, Meng'er was not in the mood to choose fabrics at the moment. Instead, she was thinking about the medicine pillow.

So he picked two horses at random and hurried back to the palace.

Chuxiu Palace

As soon as Meng'er entered the room, she said, "My queen, something bad has happened, my queen."

Concubine Lan asked unhappily, "Why is it bad again when I ask you to take two pieces of fabric from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Meng'er put the material down and said breathlessly, "No, madam, that medicine pillow, that medicine pillow, it's Madam Yu, she, she!"

Lan Fei saw Meng'er breathing heavily and couldn't even speak clearly, so she pointed at the kettle and said, "There's water on the table, drink some water first!"

Meng'er picked up the kettle, poured a full cup of water, drank it all, and still felt thirsty, so she poured a few more cups in succession. After drinking her fill, she slowly said:

"Your Majesty, you may not know. Just now, when I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the materials, I heard Bicui, who was beside the Queen, saying that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not doing its job well. The thread of the medicine pillow that Concubine Yu had used for a few times broke, and now it has been put aside and left unused. It's a waste of the Queen's kindness!"

Concubine Lan was puzzled and asked, "Idle?!"

Meng'er nodded and said, "Yes, Madam, Bicui said it herself. Someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs said they would rush to make a new one for Noble Lady Yu!"

Lan Fei's face was filled with anger. "Then what I asked you to do a few days ago was all in vain, right?"

Meng'er asked, "What should we do now, Madam? Should we...take advantage of the time when the Ministry of Internal Affairs is rushing to make it again and do something else?"

Lan Fei tapped the tabletop a few times. It was unknown what she was thinking. Then she suddenly hooked her finger at Meng Er and said, "Come here."

Meng'er walked to Lan Fei's side, and Lan Fei whispered something in her ear...

Fenghua Palace

Beatrice came back to report, "Your Majesty, I have deliberately said those words to Meng'er in front of her!"

The queen couldn't help but chuckle, "It depends on what Concubine Lan will do next~"

Beatrice smiled and said, "My lady, given Concubine Zhao Lan's temperament, she must be impatient. I guess she didn't succeed last time, so she will have to do something new this time."

The Queen said, "That's right, she won't be willing to work in vain!"

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing." Beatrice continued as she remembered something.

"What's the matter?" The queen asked calmly without even raising her eyelids.

Beatrice replied, "The Third Miss wrote back and said that everything will be arranged by the Majesty."

The queen snorted, "Hmph, she is smart. She knows that the splendor and wealth in the palace cannot be abandoned. If she just marries someone casually, it will be a hasty life."

Beatrice said, "Your Highness is right."

Yufangzhai

When Song Qingwan woke up, it was already noon.

Song Qingwan rubbed her eyes, looked around, and called out, "Haitang, Haitang."

Upon hearing the voice, Haitang hurried into the palace, tied up the curtains on the bed, and helped Song Qingwan to sit up. "My lady is awake! I have been getting more and more sleepy lately. Fortunately, the emperor exempted my lady from the morning and evening visits. Otherwise, I am afraid that my lady would not be able to get up even if she remembered!"

Song Qingwan smiled after hearing this. "Haha, it's true. It may be because of my pregnancy that I have been more and more lazy recently."

Haitang said, "I will fetch a basin of water right away to help you wash up."

"Go!" Song Qingwan said.

After dressing up, Song Qingwan suggested going to see how Xiao Zhongzi was doing.

So, Haitang supported Song Qingwan and came to the room where Xiao Zhongzi lived. After pushing open the door, Xiao Zhongzi was still lying there motionless.

Song Qingwan came to Xiao Zhongzi's bed and looked at his face with his eyes closed.

"My lady, please sit down!" Haitang considerately brought a chair and put a cushion on it.

After seeing this, Song Qingwan nodded to Haitang, then sat down and talked to Xiao Zhongzi in a murmuring manner.

"Xiao Zhongzi, it's the beginning of spring, did you know? This year's beginning of spring is earlier than in previous years. I still remember this time last year, when I just entered the palace, you told me that I should not lie down on the beginning of spring and should not argue with others."

"Haitang, we used to make a spring ox out of paper together, and put up Yichun calligraphy and paintings at the entrance of Yufangzhai. This year, I don't see you and Haitang bickering anymore, and I feel so bored!"

"Although you and Haitang always quarrel from time to time, if someone bullies Haitang, you are the first to stand up and protect him. Xiao Zhongzi has always been the most loyal to his friends."

Listening to Song Qingwan's words, Haitang's eyes could not help but turn red. "Young Master..."

Song Qingwan turned around and said, "Haitang, come and talk to Xiao Zhongzi."

After hearing this, Haitang walked to Xiao Zhongzi's bed and said, "Xiao Zhongzi, wake up! Our young master has an heir! You are the bravest man in Yufangzhai! Hurry up and protect the young master!"

"Xiao Zhongzi, Xiao Zhongzi!" Haitang shouted in Xiao Zhongzi's ear.

When Song Qingwan saw this, she quickly said, "Oh, Haitang, will you disturb him by doing this?"

I don’t know if Xiao Zhongzi was woken up by Haitang or if he really woke up after sleeping for too long, but he actually slowly opened his eyes!
