Xu Lejin smiled faintly and said nothing more.

Consort Zhao, seated at the head of the table, glanced at the emperor and then smiled and said, “What Consort Zhao Jia said is quite right. If the child in Consort Ma Jia’s womb is a prince, he will be the emperor’s seventh son.”

“Consort Ma Jia served the Emperor the longest, was the most senior, and was also the most fortunate, having given birth to two sons and two daughters for the Emperor.”

"Although the eldest prince died young, the fourth prince, the third princess, and the fifth princess are all healthy."

"Now she is pregnant with another child. If it is indeed a prince, as Consort Zhaojia said, then Consort Majia will have two sons and two daughters living in the world, making her a perfect family with both a son and a daughter."

Talking on and on.

Consort Zhao was clearly feeling a tightness in her chest and was in great discomfort, but she forced a smile and continued to play the role of a virtuous and magnanimous woman.

Xu Lejin saw this and secretly sighed that it was too difficult!

Consort Zhao, the future Empress, faces an incredibly difficult position, especially in the pursuit of virtue and magnanimity...

Half an hour later, Xu Lejin returned to Yikun Palace.

With a soft sigh, Xu Lejin said, "Today at Chuxiu Palace, it was truly difficult for Consort Zhao. She was dissatisfied with Consort Ma Jia's successive pregnancies and births, and she disliked the concubines in the palace having children, but she had to say the opposite of what she meant."

"Your Highness, Consort Zhao, you keep mentioning that Consort Ma has many children. Your real intention is not what you think!"

Lianzhi looked up at the outside of Yikun Palace and spoke softly, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words. These are things you cannot say."

“Consort Ma Jia is pregnant with the emperor’s child. Even though the emperor does not like Consort Ma Jia, the child in her womb is the emperor’s own flesh and blood, and the emperor still values ​​it.”

Xu Lejin nodded slightly and raised her pinky finger.

"I know that imperial offspring are of utmost importance. The prosperity and abundance of the Emperor's children is the foundation of the nation. Consort Ma Jia is blessed with good fortune, having given birth to four imperial children in succession, and is now pregnant with another one. She is a woman who will be easy to raise."

Lianzhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are also blessed with great fortune."
