Yanxi Palace

Song Qingwan was chatting and laughing with Concubine Qing in the palace.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you're going to lose this game to me!" Song Qingwan joked while looking at the chessboard.

Concubine Qing smiled and said, "Oh! Yes, but I have lost to my sister many times, so this time won't make a difference."

"If your Majesty says so, I am considering whether to give your Majesty a break in the next round~" Song Qingwan said jokingly

"Oh~ That won't do. I have to accept the loss!" Concubine Qing said with a smile

"Your Majesty is a person of temperament. Qingwan admires her." Song Qingwan said, looking at Concubine Qing.

"Sister, you are talented in poetry and have a sweet tongue. I like you very much~" Concubine Qing said after placing a chess piece.

"It is my blessing to be favored by Your Majesty. If Your Majesty had not risked her life to save me last time, I don't know where I would be now!" Song Qingwan stood up and said gratefully.

"Thank you for being polite, sister. Please sit down. It's your turn." Concubine Qing hurriedly pulled Song Qingwan to sit down.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty very much! If Your Majesty does not mind, I will be the child's godmother in the future. You sacrificed your own life to save their lives!" Song Qingwan supported herself and bowed solemnly to Concubine Qing.

"Okay, okay, of course I agree. You are such a kind-hearted person, and the child will surely be as lively and cute as you. I couldn't ask for more." Concubine Qing then helped Song Qingwan sit down.

"I would like to thank Queen Qing on behalf of the little one in my belly~" Song Qingwan said with a smile.

Concubine Qing looked at Song Qingwan's belly, which was becoming more and more obvious. Even though Song Qingwan was thin and wore loose clothes, her belly was still bulging.

"I see that the dragon fetus has grown a lot!" Concubine Qing said as she looked at Song Qingwan's belly.

Song Qingwan subconsciously hunched her back and arched her body, trying to make her belly look smaller.

Song Qingwan smiled and said perfunctorily, "Haha, the period of pregnancy reactions has passed. I have been eating more recently. Maybe the dragon fetus will grow up as well."

Concubine Qing also smiled meaningfully.

As the two were talking, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Mr. Shen has arrived!"

"Mr. Shen is here?" Song Qingwan couldn't help but ask.

"Sister, please sit down. I'll go out and take a look." Concubine Qing stood up and said.

Song Qingwan was not a person who didn't know what to do. She also stood up and said, "No, no, it's getting late. I'll leave first. Maybe Concubine Shen wants to see the queen about something!"

Concubine Qing smiled and did not try to persuade her to stay. "Well, I will go out with you and see you off."

The two of them walked out together.

When Concubine Shen saw Song Qingwan, a trace of surprise flashed across her face, and then she pretended to be calm and said, "What a coincidence, Concubine Yu is here too."

"What a coincidence! Isn't Concubine Shen here too?" Song Qingwan said with a smile.

Concubine Shen glanced at Song Qingwan and couldn't help thinking in her heart that this woman was indeed smart. She even knew which direction the wind was blowing and who to curry favor with, all of which was one step ahead of her.

"Your Majesty, I'll leave first. I'll come back to discuss this with you when I have time." Song Qingwan said to Concubine Qing.

"Okay, then go slower, Haitang, and keep an eye on your young lady!" Concubine Qing instructed again.

Haitang nodded, "Yes, I understand."

After saying that, Song Qingwan and the others left.

Concubine Qing said to Concubine Shen, "Concubine Shen, please come in."

Concubine Shen followed Concubine Qing and walked in together. As soon as she entered the room, she noticed the chessboard on the table. No wonder Song Qingwan said that she would come to practice with Concubine Qing next time. It turned out that they were playing chess.

"Ying'er, add more tea for Concubine Shen." Concubine Qing said to the palace maid Ying'er. Then she said to Concubine Shen, "Don't be polite. Please sit down."

Concubine Shen nodded, found a place to sit down, and looked around carefully. Everything in Concubine Qing's room was not very luxurious and the layout was very simple.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Lady Shen." Concubine Qing said.

"Oh no, no, your Majesty's place is fresh and elegant, unlike other palaces that are extravagant and vulgar. It has a unique flavor!" Concubine Shen praised.

"No wonder Concubine Shen stands out among the newcomers with her witty remarks," said Concubine Qing.

Concubine Shen said quickly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind! Your Majesty is truly a rare talent. I will look up to you more in the future~"

At this moment, Concubine Qing understood clearly the purpose of Concubine Shen's visit.

"Sister, what are you talking about? I am just a nobody. But if you can be of any use to me, I will certainly help you."

Concubine Shen said, "Then I would like to thank you, Your Majesty. Zhenzhu, bring the things up!"

After hearing this, Zhenzhu immediately took out a box, which contained the priceless Luozidai.

"Ah, such a precious thing, I can't afford it." Upon seeing this, Concubine Qing immediately declined.

Concubine Shen placed the gift on the table and said, "Your Majesty, please accept it. This is a token of my heart!"

Concubine Qing was determined not to accept it. "No, no, no! I absolutely cannot accept it."

"Your Majesty..." Seeing that Concubine Qing refused to accept the gift, Concubine Shen was at a loss. Concubine Qing had always been cautious and it seemed that she was afraid that the gift she gave would be a hot potato!

Concubine Qing pushed the item to Concubine Shen's side and said, "Sister, you are young and beautiful, so you should keep it for yourself. I am already middle-aged, and it would be a waste of such a precious thing."

"Your Majesty is still as charming as ever. You should use this thing to make her look even more beautiful!" Concubine Shen said again without giving up.

Concubine Qing also shook her head again, indicating that she could not accept it.

"Sister, you don't have to do this. Even if you don't take anything, I will still help you if you need me!"

Seeing that Concubine Qing was determined to do so, Concubine Shen had no choice but to give up. After the two of them talked briefly for a while, Concubine Shen said goodbye.

On the way back, Zhenzhu couldn't help but say, "This Concubine Qing is such a good person that she doesn't even dare to accept the valuable Luozidai!"

Lady Shen nodded and said, "Yes, she is very cautious, fearing that someone will accuse her of accepting bribes in the future!"

"But she just said that even if she doesn't accept your things, she will still help you. Do you think she's telling the truth?" Pearl asked.

Concubine Shen said firmly, "Yes! After all, Song Qingwan didn't do anything last time, but she sacrificed herself to help! She used her own body to protect Song Qingwan and the baby in her belly."

"In the harem, naturally, the fewer favored concubines and the fewer children there are, the more stable the foundation can be. However, Concubine Qing doesn't care about these things at all, so I conclude that she will definitely do what she says!"

In the Yanxi Palace

Concubine Qing kept thinking about Song Qingwan's words

"You will be the godmother of this child from now on. You sacrificed your life to save them!"
