Yixiu had always thought that Honghui was gentle and had no temper. He smiled all day long and never got angry, and he was not on guard against others. Now she realized that Honghui was worthy of being a royal grandson, and he was domineering and proud in his bones.

Since her son has made it so clear, she, as his biological mother, can only choose to obey.

"Okay, mother will listen to you! You can discipline your brothers and sisters, and I am watching over their biological mother, so she won't cause you any trouble!" Anyone who stretched out his hand carelessly would be chopped off, to prevent them from being greedy and coveting her son's position.

There was only one thing she couldn't listen to her son! Her son was too lonely alone, so she had to give him a brother. The two brothers could support each other, so that the path her son had chosen would be easier to follow.

Yixiu put on a good show and successfully hid it from her son. The mother and son then reached a consensus and from then on they planned for the future together.

……

The next morning, the sky was overcast and it rained a little, but it stopped before the hour of Si. The red sun rose in the sky, shining on the bumpy water surface, and colorful rainbows were everywhere.

Yixiu ordered her servants to pack up a bunch of medicinal herbs and supplements, and also went to the warehouse to get cotton, silk and satin fabrics, and sent them all to Qingyi Courtyard.

Adhering to the principle of "being a good person to the end and seeing the Buddha off to the west", she also went to Qingyi Courtyard in person and did enough superficial work.

"Sister Li, this is your first pregnancy, and you don't know a lot of taboos. For example, you can't eat barley or seafood, and you can't drink alcohol. You can't sit or stand for a long time. You must adjust your mood, you can't cry or laugh loudly, and you can't do any intense movements, and..."

Pregnant Li Gege was particularly emotional. She immediately burst into tears and grabbed Yixiu's hand and cried.

"Concubine, oooo..., you are so kind, oooo..., it's been a long time since someone treated me so well, oooo..." Her biological mother died early, her stepmother treated her mediocrely, and her father was like an ordinary family, paying more attention to his brothers and not paying much attention to her, the eldest daughter. She didn't even read much, and except for having a pretty face, she had no other talents.

Although she had gained some favor since she entered the mansion, she could see that the Fourth Master only regarded her as a funny person, so she was very afraid that if she fell out of favor one day, she would soon be drowned in the backyard and would never live again.

"Concubine, can I give birth to a child safely? It won't be like what happened to Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Fujin, right?" Not to mention Mrs. Gan, even the mistress of the house like Mrs. Fujin was schemed against and her hopes of having children were cut off. Even the legitimate son she gave birth to with great difficulty only lived for three months before dying. How could she, a concubine of the Han army banner with such a humble family background, be as blessed as Concubine Fujin?

Yixiu answered without hesitation: "Don't worry, you will definitely give birth to a prince safely! Those black-hearted people in the mansion have already been dealt with by the prince. Seeing what happened to Gan and Miao, no one dares to act rashly, so just put your mind at ease!" She had a vague feeling that the Fourth Master seemed to have placed people in the mansion, because there were his people in Haitang Garden. As for who that person was, she didn't dare to check and just pretended that nothing had happened.

Seeing what the concubine Yixiu, the housekeeper, said, Li Gege felt relieved. She was extremely willing to rely on the concubine, so it was clearly shown in her words.

Yi Xiu smiled and said, "Sister Li, if you feel bored being alone, you can come to Haitang Garden often. I can tell you about the various taboos during pregnancy. These cannot be explained in just a few words."

It just so happened that she also wanted to support one or two people in the backyard. They didn't need to be very smart, they just had to be able to be controlled by her and give birth to offspring in the future, so that Honghui would have more trustworthy helpers behind him.

Li Gege was so overjoyed that she danced with joy and said, "Thank you, Concubine, for your kindness. After I am pregnant, I will definitely come to Haitang Garden to bother you."

Yixiu didn't feel honored. She just felt her head hurt. "Stop it now. I just told you not to do any violent movements. You're only one and a half months pregnant. Do you think your fetal breathing is too stable?"

Li Gege smiled shyly, withdrew her hands and feet angrily, sat back on the couch and dared not move again.

Yixiu glanced at her and continued to instruct, "I took a rough look at the servants in your courtyard when I came here. They are all useless. It would be fine if it was normal times, but now that you are pregnant, you must have an experienced servant to serve you, so that you can take good care of yourself. I will tell the prince later and ask him to arrange an old nanny for you. You must not act willfully and must listen to the nanny, understand?"

After this series of punches, Li Gege was already in tears of gratitude, as if she had been completely conquered by the concubine.

The two chatted for a long time until Ziggy came to visit, and then they stopped talking.

Zigege had a warm smile on her face. After coming in, she called everyone "sister" and seemed very approachable.

"Concubine, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look even more beautiful. From your complexion, I know you are living a comfortable life. I am only two years older than you, but now I see that you are almost four or five years younger than me!"

If someone is too attentive to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief! What on earth did Qi want her to help with?

Yixiu pretended to be modest, glared at Qi and replied: "Sister Qi, what are you talking about? I am already in my twenties, not a young girl anymore! If we talk about youth, Sister Li is the youngest. Her face is much younger than ours."

Li Gege accepted the concubine's compliment with a smile, and had no intention of refusing it.

Both people present knew that she was not a smart person, so no one bothered with her. Instead, they all changed the subject to prevent Li from making a fool of herself again.

"Sister Li is really lucky. She has been pregnant with Master's child for more than a year since entering the mansion. Oh! I wonder if I still have a chance to get pregnant again? This way, I can also gain a firm foothold in the backyard."

Seeing that Qi was about to continue the conversation, Yixiu took the opportunity to continue the conversation: "Sister Qi is still young, how could there be no chance for her to get pregnant? I wonder if the court doctor has taken care of your body? If you want to get pregnant, you have to make full preparations!"

Qi Gege gave a helpless bitter smile, looking extremely frustrated, "The palace doctor said there's nothing wrong, but I've been serving the master for six or seven years, and there's been no improvement. I guess I'm just not that lucky!"

"So, I especially envy Sister Li, and that ruined Miao, and even the deceased Gan. You can all conceive my children, but I don't have that blessing!" Her attitude was extremely sincere.
