After March, the weather gets warmer day by day.

Fu Qianyu's due date was approaching, and the imperial physician advised her not to sit for long periods of time and to walk around when necessary so that she could give birth the next day.

March 15th was Prince Gong’s wedding day, and there was joy both inside and outside the palace.

Early in the morning, Fu Qianyu stood in front of the mirror, gesturing at her belly and muttering, "Lingyun, look, has my belly sagged?"

Lingyun looked at it for a long time before nodding: "Yes, it fell. I heard from Madam Xia that this is the pelvic floor. Your Majesty must be more careful during this period."

"By the way, the emperor gave me some donkey hide gelatin yesterday. Send someone to deliver it to Prince Gong's Mansion later."

"Your Highness, I am ready as well."

Lingyun smiled and replied, then remembered something and lowered her voice, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the one from Qiulan Palace is no longer able to make it."

"Xi Zhaoyi hated her to the core. It's a blessing for her to be alive today." Fu Qianyu thought for a moment and said, "The big exam will be in half a month."

"Yes, I have already found out that Pei Xuan is also among those taking this exam."

Fu Qianyu sneered, "As the saying goes, a dying man's words are kind. After all these years, I'm sure Concubine Yue is still thinking about her former lover. Find a suitable time to tell Concubine Xi about this. She will naturally know what to do."

Lingyun nodded. "I've made note of that, but there's one thing I'm not sure about. Concubine Yue doesn't have much time left, so why bother with all this? Wouldn't it all be over if she died?"

"She's dead, dust to dust, but what about the things she did? If no one explains her actions, then according to etiquette, she'll be posthumously honored. Wouldn't that mean all our efforts were in vain?"

Lingyun suddenly realized, "It is I who am stupid."

Early the next morning, Prince Gong and Princess Gong went to the palace to express their gratitude.

Surprisingly, Prince Gong also brought two concubines into the palace this time.

The Queen Mother looked at the couple, a loving smile on her face. "Well, seeing how loving and harmonious you two are, I am relieved."

Shang Yingyi was sitting beside the empress dowager, wearing a bright red brocade robe embroidered with peony patterns. Although her face was filled with a bright smile, upon closer inspection, there was a hint of blue-gray in her eyes.

Prince Gong glanced sideways at the two concubines standing not far away and said calmly, "You don't have to stand here any longer. Concubine Fu, it's rare for you to come to the palace. Go pay your respects to your sister. The Emperor's sister-in-law isn't feeling well, so Concubine Su should go and see her as well, according to etiquette."

Fu Qianyin was worried about her sister's upcoming due date, so she followed the prince's instructions, stood up, bowed, and left Ci'an Palace.

Having not slept well last night, Fu Qianyu lay on the couch to catch up on her sleep.

Lingyun had just come out of the small kitchen and looked up to see the Second Young Lady coming in. She immediately went up to her and asked happily, "Second Young Lady, why are you in the palace?"

Fu Qianyin smiled warmly, "Today the prince brought the princess to the palace, and Concubine Su and I were accompanying him. The prince asked me to come and pay my respects to my sister. Where is my sister?"

"Your Majesty didn't sleep well last night and is resting in her bedroom. If she knew you were coming, she would be so happy."

After helping Fu Qianyin into the house, Lingyun was about to go forward to wake up her master but was stopped by Fu Qianyin. She lowered her voice and said, "No need to wake me up. Go and do your thing. I'll sit with me for a while."

When Fu Qianyin came in just now, Lingyun noticed that Nanny Fei, who was following behind her, looked unhappy. After thinking about it, she agreed.

Before leaving, she found an excuse to send Nanny Fei out. "When the Madam wakes up, she will have something to say to the Second Young Miss. You've worked hard, Nanny. Please come with me for a cup of tea and a rest."

How could Nanny Fei not know what Lingyun meant? Since she also had something to say, she walked out.

The two of them went to the tea room together, and Lingyun closed the door. As for what they talked about, it was of course not something that outsiders could know.

In the bedroom, Fu Qianyin sat down next to her sister. Seeing an unfinished pattern on the couch, she picked it up and began to embroider quietly.

The silver thread slid across the brocade, making a slight rustling sound.

Fu Qianyu felt as if someone was in front of her. When she opened her eyes and saw it was her sister, she was surprised and then filled with endless joy. "Why are you here?"

Fu Qianyin put down the embroidery frame in her hand, helped her sister to sit up, and then took the soft pillow beside her and tucked it under her sister's waist, smiling: "The prince and princess came to the palace to express their gratitude and brought me and sister Su with them, so I came to see you."

Fu Qianyu held her sister's hand and cried with joy, "How is the prince treating you?"

Fu Qianyin turned her face away and said nothing, but her snow-white ears, half hidden by her long hair, were quietly dyed crimson.

Seeing her like this, I knew without asking that Prince Gong treated his sister well.

But even so, Fu Qianyu couldn't help but remind her sister: "Do you still remember what your sister said to you?"

Fu Qianyin's face flushed, full of the shyness of a newlywed woman. "Don't worry, sister. The prince treats me very well. It's just that Su relies on you being the queen and is very arrogant. A few days ago, she even made indirect accusations against me. But I took your advice to heart and didn't argue with her."

Fu Qianyu smiled with relief: "That's good, but there's no such thing as a third time. If you keep giving in, they'll just think you're easy to bully. It's best to give them a beating at the right time."

Fu Qianyin nodded, leaning against her sister and acting coquettishly: "But in the end, I've never heard such unpleasant words in my life. I feel so upset. How about sister rub it for me?"

"You're acting like a spoiled child but you're targeting the wrong person." Fu Qianyu teased her sister, "When you get back, just tell this to the prince. He'll definitely give you a heart rub, and then you'll feel better."

"You're going to be a mother soon, and yet you still talk so frivolously."

Seeing her sister teasing her, Fu Qianyin's face turned even redder. She was truly more beautiful than flowers.

But after all, he followed Princess Gong into the palace to express his gratitude. After a while, someone came from outside to tell him that the prince and princess were preparing to return home.

Fu Qianyu then asked Peirong to find a lot of things from the warehouse, and the two sisters said goodbye reluctantly.

After sending the second young lady out, Lingyun helped her master into the house and repeated everything she had just said to Nanny Fei without missing a word.

"Madame Fei said that on the day the Second Young Miss entered the palace, she found something unclean in the bedroom. Madame Fei looked carefully and found that someone had smeared a layer of medicine on the inside of the incense burner. The medicine had the effect of causing dementia."

Lingyun sighed, her tone filled with fear. "What a scheming person! Fortunately, Your Majesty found a nanny who understands medicine for the Second Young Miss. Otherwise, wouldn't such a kind-hearted Second Young Miss have been murdered in vain? Your Majesty, should we investigate this matter thoroughly?"

A cold look flashed across Fu Qianyu's eyes. "Everything in the Prince's Mansion all came from the palace. Besides, the Duke's Mansion will definitely send people to take care of the arrangements for the Prince's wedding. How many people will have to deal with just one incense burner? Who can tell? Has Nanny Fei told Yin'er about this?"

"Madame Fei didn't tell the young lady because she was afraid she would be frightened. She was also worried about alerting the enemy, so she just quietly scraped the medicine off the inside of the incense burner."

Fu Qianyu nodded with satisfaction: "As expected of an old nanny from the previous dynasty."
