The atmosphere in Yongfu Palace was gloomy, as if water could be squeezed out of it.

Queen Zhou Jinyu sat in front of a bronze mirror, her fingertips tightly grasping an intricately carved gold hairpin. The mirror reflected her dignified face, which could not hide her resentment.

The golden hairpin in her hand seemed to have become a tool for venting her anger, and it was almost embedded in her palm by her force.

"Madam Zhang."

Queen Zhou Jinyu's voice revealed a chill of anger.

"Your Majesty was so fond of that widowed, divorced woman that he did not hesitate to fabricate a legendary life story to justify her name, and even canonized her as the Imperial Noble Consort and even made her the Crown Prince!"

Nanny Zhang was secretly worried, but she tried her best to remain calm and comforted people in a soft voice.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty's actions may be more out of consideration for the royal heir. After all, the continuation of the dragon vein is of great importance."

Queen Zhou Jinyu sneered, and that smile was full of disdain.

"Royal heir? Humph, whether his bloodline is pure or not remains to be verified!"

"She is just the daughter of a merchant, a slut of humble origins. My Zhou family has been officials for generations, and our family is prominent. What qualifications does she have to compete with me?"

Nanny Zhang nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Your Majesty is right. How can Liu shake your position in the harem?"

At this time, Ji Rui hurried into Yongfu Palace.

He first bowed respectfully to the queen, and then whispered the emperor's "oral instructions."

"His Majesty asked me to tell the Queen that the Imperial Concubine needs to take care of the young princes and princesses, and she is too busy to do that. Therefore, His Majesty has granted the Imperial Concubine the right to not come to pay respects in the future."

"Also, the Imperial Concubine does not need to bow to anyone except the Empress Dowager. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

Queen Zhou Jinyu's face suddenly changed, but she quickly adjusted her expression, putting on a decent and virtuous smile, and her words revealed generosity and care.

"My sister works so hard, taking care of four children day and night. I admire her deeply. I have long intended to exempt her from many etiquettes so that she can raise the royal heir with more peace of mind."

Ji Rui bowed quickly in response.

"The Empress is kindhearted and truly a blessing to the harem. I will go back and report to the Emperor and convey the Empress's thoughtful thoughts."

Queen Zhou Jinyu nodded slightly until Ji Rui's figure completely disappeared outside the door.

Her smile gradually faded, replaced by a look of resentment.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of this divorced woman, you are so unruly and against tradition! Then don't blame me for being cruel. Let everything return to the right path."

She pondered for a moment, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, and then she gave the order.

"Go, bring Concubine Jia here. I have something to say to her in detail."

After saying this, she put down the slightly deformed golden hairpin in her hand, her eyes deep, as if she had already set up another chess game in her mind.

Empress Dowager He Yi had been waiting for a long time, and at this moment her heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.

Her own son had no children until middle age, which was a huge stone weighing on her heart, making it almost suffocating for her.

However, now the emperor suddenly has a son and a daughter, four treasures in one birth.

This sudden happiness relieved her back pain and leg pain, and she felt extremely energetic all over.

When she heard that the children had returned to the palace, she couldn't wait a moment and went straight to the Liuli Fairyland Palace.

"My royal grandson, my little royal grandson, my little royal daughter..."

Empress Dowager He Yi muttered to herself and quickened her pace involuntarily. The eunuchs and palace maids beside her could hardly keep up with her pace.

Empress Dowager He Yi walked in breathlessly and saw the emperor hugging a stunningly beautiful woman, his head buried in her neck, biting her lingeringly.

This is good, very good. The emperor and his concubine love each other so much that there will be more and more grandchildren!

But the prince kept biting and moving downwards, and was about to tear off the covering with his hands, so she had to interrupt the prince who was acting so recklessly.

"Cough, cough..."

Liu Qianyu suddenly came back to her senses, her cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly got off Murong Dize's legs and tidied her slightly messy clothes.

Murong Dize was also slightly embarrassed and coughed lightly, trying to ease the sudden strange atmosphere.

"Mother, why are you here? I was just planning to pay my respects to you."

Empress Dowager He Yi rolled her eyes at Murong Di Ze.

Judging from your impatient attitude, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

"I am so anxious. I want to see my grandchildren as soon as possible."

Liu Qianyu finished tidying up and bowed, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am being rude."

The Queen Mother held Liu Qianyu's hand, her eyes full of admiration and gratitude.

"You are indeed as beautiful as a fairy, and you are destined to be with my son. You must be a fairy who has descended to earth to give birth to my son's offspring."

Liu Qianyu felt a little embarrassed by the empress dowager's praise.

The Queen Mother was even happier and held Liu Qianyu's hand, refusing to let go.

"I have to thank you very much. Aunt Zhao, please open my private vault quickly, take out all the gems and treasures, and decorate this Glazed Fairyland Palace more magnificently, so that it will be worthy of our Heavenly Fairy Imperial Concubine."

Nanny Zhao quickly responded and left.

The Emperor has decorated this palace like a fairyland. Is the Empress Dowager trying to turn it into a treasure house?

A group of wet nurses came in holding four delicate little babies.

When the Queen Mother saw these lovely grandchildren, the smile on her face instantly became brighter, and even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were filled with happiness.

"My dear little ones, Grandma Huang is here, come and let Grandma hug you."

The Queen Mother took them one by one and kissed their little faces again and again.

"My son, these children look exactly like you, especially the crown prince, who looks exactly like you when you were a child."

Murong Di Ze proudly hugged Liu Qianyu and kissed her hard on the face.

"Hahaha, my child will naturally look like me."

When the little princess Murong Hanyue heard her father's laughter, she actually started giggling as well. Her clear and pleasant laughter instantly melted everyone's heart.

The Queen Mother was so delighted that she couldn't stop smiling and hurriedly hugged him.

"Look, our little princess is so smart, she knows your father has no shame!"

Murong Di Ze touched his nose. He was shameless. It was almost dusk, why was his mother still unwilling to leave!

"Mother, it's getting late. You should go back to the palace and rest. The children are being taken care of by the nurses. You don't need to worry."

Empress Dowager He Yi still held the child in her arms and refused to let go, her face full of reluctance.

She looked at Murong Dize, understood, and suddenly had an idea in her mind.

"How about this, I will take them back to Shoukang Palace to take care of them. Bao'er has just entered the palace, so you two should get along well with each other."

Liu Qianyu saw Murong Di Ze looking at him with expectant eyes.

She thought it was good to have someone take care of the child.

When there are more children in the future, I won’t be able to take care of them all.

So she readily agreed.

After Empress Dowager He Yi led the wet nurses and the four children away happily, Murong Di Ze took Liu Qianyu's hand with a gentle look.

"Bao'er, let me show you around this Glazed Fairyland Palace. This will be where we live from now on."

Inside the Glass Fairyland Palace, pavilions and towers are arranged in an orderly manner, and the clear water in the pond is leisurely swimming with fish.

Exotic flowers and plants are in full bloom, colorful butterflies are flying among them, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.

The jade jewelry inlaid is full of brilliance and reflects colorful light under the sun, just like a rainbow falling into the earth.

It is like a dream, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland and forgetting the troubles of the world.

"Bao'er, this is the palace I personally conceived and ordered to be built for you after we were together. It has been waiting for you to come."

"Aren't you afraid that others would say you are stupid and are building a large-scale project just for your children's personal love?"

Murong Di Ze shook his head gently and looked at her lovingly.

"I have always worked diligently for the country and the people. Now, I should also consider myself and my family."

After saying that, he gently took Liu Qianyu's hand.

"Come on, I'll take you to a special place."
