Baoqin walked to her side and said softly, "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince has arrived."

Lanqin quickly put down the account book and said happily, "Let him in quickly!"

Hongli entered, knelt on one knee, and bowed to Lanqin, saying, "Your subject greets Mother."

Lanqin helped him up: "You silly child, it's been so long since you've come to see your mother. Old Hua was right, you've forgotten your mother now that you have a wife."

"Mother, you're wronging me by saying that," Hongli said, helping Lanqin to a chair, his face full of grievance.

Lanqin gently patted Hongli's head: "Alright! Your mother was just teasing you. What brings you here today?"

Hongli sat down on the chair next to Lanqin and told her about Su's situation: "Mother, Su has not been able to eat anything these days and has lost a lot of weight. If this continues, neither she nor the child can take it. So I would like to ask Mother to help me find a nanny who is good at taking care of pregnant women to serve Su during her pregnancy and until she gives birth."

Lanqin nodded: "Yes, Su's situation is not good. After all, she is carrying your first child, so she should be taken good care of. Don't worry, your mother will not let anything happen to her grandson. Wait a moment, I will choose someone now and have her go back with you in a little while. Report to Qin!"

Lanqin called over Baoqin: "Go and summon all the maternity nurses from the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Baoqin turned and went out, and soon returned with more than a dozen maternity nurses.

Lanqin looked around carefully and finally chose Liu, one of the maternity nurses in the palace, to go back with Hongli.

Before leaving, Lanqin dismissed Hongli and spoke to Granny Liu alone: ​​"Granny Liu, you are an old hand in the palace and have seen a lot of things happening there. The inner courtyard and the inner palace are the same, just with different numbers of people. So I want you to protect Su Shi's pregnancy well. Do you understand?"

"Yes, this servant understands. This is in case the main wife..." Granny Liu didn't finish her sentence, but Lanqin understood what she meant.

"Just do your job well. With me here, the Empress Consort won't dare to do anything to you." Although Lanqin said this on the surface, she wasn't sure if Fucha Mingyu would use any insidious methods, which was why she sent Granny Liu.

Having said everything that needed to be said, Lanqin then had Granny Liu accompany Hongli back to the Prince's residence.

The news that Hongli had brought back a maternity nurse from the palace for Lady Su spread quickly.

Mingyu had heard about it, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. It was just a princess who was pregnant, yet the prince had gone to the palace to ask for help! But since she had already promised Granny Tian that she would be a magnanimous wife, she couldn't show any jealousy on her face.

So Fucha Mingyu specially asked Zixun to invite Granny Liu: "Zixun, go to Qiushui Pavilion and invite Granny Liu here. Tell her that I have something to say to her."

Over there, as soon as Granny Liu arrived at Qiushui Pavilion, Hongli had someone arrange accommodations for her, and then left because he had other matters to attend to.

Granny Liu was led to her room. She packed her things and was about to go see Su Lufu when Zixun arrived at her room.

"Granny Liu, go to sleep. The First Princess sent me to find you. She has something to tell you."

Granny Liu frowned slightly: "I haven't gone to pay my respects to Princess Su yet, isn't that inappropriate?"
