The emperor ignored her and turned to ask Xiao Yunzi, "Is Concubine Hui still in Bitong Academy now?"

"Back to the emperor, exactly."

The emperor smiled cheerfully, "Would the Queen be willing to accompany me to visit Concubine Hui?"

The queen immediately put on a virtuous expression and said, "Even if the emperor doesn't ask, I will go!"

Seeing the queen caring so much for the concubines, the emperor was very moved, "Your Majesty is really virtuous. It is my blessing to have you in charge of all matters in the harem!"

The queen was overwhelmed with joy.

The two of them went to Bitong Academy together. As soon as the emperor came in, he smiled and said, "Sir Wen, how does Concubine Hui's baby look?"

Wen Shichu knelt on the ground with a respectful look, "In reply to the emperor, the baby is still stable, but because it is not yet one month old, you need to be very careful with everything."

"Yes, that's the truth. Su Peisheng, go tell the Queen Mother the good news. The Queen Mother has always loved Mei'er. Knowing that Mei'er is pregnant is also a comfort to her condition."

After reading the records of the Imperial Household Department, the Empress smiled happily, "Noble Lady Hui, you are so lucky. The Emperor only visited you twice at the beginning of the month, and you are pregnant. There are more and more children in the palace, which means that the Emperor has many children. It is a blessing for our Qing Dynasty!"

Zhen Huan smiled and took over the conversation, praising: "The Queen is virtuous and kind, and I and the others are so blessed to serve the Emperor and have children."

"You, you are the best at talking!" The emperor pointed at Zhen Huan lovingly.

Zhen Huan raised her head stubbornly, her eyes somewhat proud, "I am telling the truth."

The queen smiled slowly and said calmly, "The noble lady Wan has a calm personality and is very intelligent. I like talking to her. When I stay with her for a long time, I feel like I have become younger."

"Just pamper her! She's becoming more and more playful!" The emperor said, and his eyes turned to Lingrong again.

"Rong'er's belly is getting bigger and bigger. Although the imperial physician said that your pregnancy is very stable, you should be careful as the pregnancy is getting older."

Ling Rong nodded obediently, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Sister Wan has just given birth. I will ask you for advice if there is anything I don't understand."

The emperor leaned back and swung the beads in his hand lazily. "Seeing you three sisters getting along so harmoniously, I am very pleased. It would be great if everyone in the palace could be like you."

The queen knelt on the ground hurriedly and said, "It is all because of my incompetence that I failed to teach the sisters in the harem well. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor took her hand and said, "You get up first. These things are not your fault. There are many people in the harem, and the concubines have different personalities. It is naturally difficult to control them. You have done a good job as the queen. How can I blame you?"

The queen pretended to be touched, her eyes suddenly reddened, and she stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting me."

"It has been a long time since two concubines in the palace have been pregnant at the same time. Including Concubine Wan, there are three in total. This is such a big happy event, I must celebrate it well. Tomorrow at noon, I will hold a banquet at Jiuzhou Qingyan and summon the concubines in the harem to gather and celebrate.

Su Peisheng, pass down the order, on the day An Changzai and Hui Guiren give birth, after the baby is born, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, An Changzai will be promoted to Guiren and Hui Guiren to Concubine! "

Ling Rong was a little surprised, and felt that she had benefited from Sister Mei's kindness. She leaned forward slightly to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mei Zhuang also smiled calmly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

While everyone was having fun, Zhen Huan raised her head and caught a glimpse of the Queen squinting her eyes and thinking about something. Thinking of the Queen's previous actions, she felt scared. She secretly vowed to protect Lingrong and Meijie well so that the babies in their bellies could be born safely.

On the second day, Zhen Huan and Ling Rong came to Xianyue Pavilion together to wait for Sister Mei, but she looked lazy and did not seem very happy.

"What's wrong, sister? Are you feeling unwell?"

Mei Zhuang shook her head gently, "No, I just don't want to act in a crowd."

"The emperor is holding a banquet today mainly for you and Lingrong's child. Today, sister is the protagonist. If you don't want to talk, you don't have to say anything. Just sit there. Besides, the emperor values ​​the child in your belly very much!"

But Mei Zhuang still had no interest. "What does my child have to do with him? What does it matter whether he values ​​it or not?"

The more Zhen Huan listened, the more she felt something was wrong. It sounded as if the emperor was not the father of the child. She hurriedly reminded him, "Sister, why are you so careless? You are usually the most cautious. Just say this in front of Lingrong and me. Don't let others hear it and use it as a handle."

Mei Zhuang realized that she had said something wrong and felt a little embarrassed, but she believed in her good sister.

She slowly stood up, with a very peaceful light in her eyes, as if today's feast had nothing to do with her, "Let's go!"

When the three of them arrived, the others were already waiting. As soon as they sat down, Concubine Qi spoke sourly:

"Some people take advantage of their pregnancy and ignore even the Queen, leaving her waiting for you in the hot sun for nothing."

The Queen hurriedly persuaded, "Well, Concubine Hui and Concubine An are pregnant, so what's wrong with me waiting for a while?"

"Two of them are pregnant, but the other one is not pregnant. Could it be that she can't walk?" Concubine Qi has always been sharp-tongued. Zhen Huan doesn't want to argue with such a stupid person. She carries a string of musk beads around the city all day long and treats it like a treasure. She really has no brains.

Mei Zhuang hated to see others teasing Huan Er, and said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, I suddenly felt uncomfortable in Xian Yue Pavilion just now, and Wanpin accompanied me for a while. I failed to report the situation to Your Majesty in time, which is my fault.

But the imperial physician said that my baby is still young, and if I eat something wrong, or hear someone say something unpleasant, and get angry, it may affect the safety of the fetus.

The emperor has told me that if someone deliberately makes me unhappy, I don't need to worry too much for the sake of the dragon fetus. Your Majesty was also present yesterday, so I'm sure she heard this."

The Queen heard the threat in her words and nodded in self-mockery, "Of course I remember what the Emperor said, but Concubine Qi is young and ignorant, and the Queen Mother always praises you for being sensible. I think Concubine Hui will be magnanimous and not make a fuss about it."

Mei Zhuang said nothing, lowered her head and covered her stomach, "My stomach is a little uncomfortable. I guess it's because I heard some unpleasant words just now and I'm in a bad mood, so I have unbearable abdominal pain..."

The Queen gave Mei Zhuang a vicious look and said to Concubine Qi sternly, "Why don't you go and apologize to Concubine Hui?"

"Your concubine... Your concubine..." Concubine Qi could tell at a glance that Shen Meizhuang was pretending, but she had no choice at the moment, and the emperor would be here soon.

She stood up reluctantly and bowed, "My sister said the wrong thing because she was quick-witted. I hope you will forgive me for my mistake."

Mei Zhuang raised her head and saw the emperor walking towards her from afar...
