"Really? Alright then!" Although it was very annoying, it was a blessing, and it might even bring a little prince, so she stopped.

"It really is true, so many butterflies are surrounding her alone, it's really strange!" Kangxi also looked over and found that there were an unusually large number of butterflies around her.

"Could it be because she is pregnant that the butterflies are all circling around her?" Consort Jing said casually.

"Then Consort Chen is also pregnant, so why don't those butterflies come to surround her? It can't be the reason!" Consort An glanced at Consort Jing and said irritably.

"Sister Sun's rouge is made exclusively by the Imperial Household Department, with ample ingredients. How could it not attract butterflies!"

Consort Yi didn't even hesitate to speak. After all, she had sent someone to the Imperial Household Department to get rouge, and her maid had come back saying that the steward ignored her and only kept trying to please the lowly maidservant in front of Consort Sun.

"I rarely use those cosmetics!" She was naturally beautiful and didn't need them, unlike Consort Sun who, despite resembling her by six points, wore heavy makeup.

"It's right not to use it. Using too much during pregnancy is also bad for the fetus. I heard it from the imperial physician!" Consort Rong praised Wanyi.

"Although it is a flower appreciation banquet today and Xiao Wei can dress up a bit, Consort Chen, isn't your outfit a bit too bright!"

The Empress Dowager finally found an opportunity to join the conversation. She had noticed Wanyi's clothes earlier that day, and they had a striking beauty that surpassed all others. Even her pregnancy did not affect her appearance.

"Your Majesty also thinks it is very bright and beautiful, but the cheongsam was chosen by His Majesty. His Majesty said that I look good in this dress!"

Wanyi knew that the Empress Dowager wanted to take this opportunity to punish her, but she was well aware of the situation and dared not punish her at all!

"His Majesty may think it looks good, but whether he wears it or not is up to him!" Was this an excuse? The Empress Dowager didn't believe her at all; she was just as ambitious as she was about choosing clothes!

"Your Majesty is in a rare good mood, and I did not wish to disobey. It is I who am at fault, and I beg Your Majesty to punish me!" Wan Yi thought to herself.

“Empress Dowager, what clothes you wear is not important, what matters is your heart!” Kangxi said with displeasure when he saw Wanyi kneeling down. He wanted to say that what you do is not important, what matters is what you think.

"Your Majesty, you go with them! I'm a little tired, so I'll just stay here and look around. Mingzhu will keep Your Majesty company in my place!" At this moment, Kangxi also stood up, and it was clear that he was going to go and see the flowers elsewhere.

"Your Majesty, I'll stay here and keep the Empress Dowager company!" Wanyi suddenly said. With so many people around, if she went there and fell, who would she cry to?

"I'm fine on my own. You young people should go out and see more of the world!" the Empress Dowager refused. How could she possibly want her to fall in a crowd? Even if she didn't have a premature birth, it would still be a great loss of energy. Consider this a way of collecting some interest!

"Your Majesty, I am also a little tired, so I thought I could keep the Empress Dowager company and rest for a while. I will go to see Your Majesty in a moment."

Wanyi knew someone would make a move at this time, so how could she possibly go! Even if she did go, it wouldn't be now.

"The imperial fetus is of utmost importance, so it's alright if Sister Chen is a little late!" The Imperial Noble Consort smiled, as long as Noble Consort Chen went, it didn't matter whether it was sooner or later.

"Then keep me company for a while!" the Empress Dowager thought, she could just ask her to leave later, since there were fewer people and she could still take action.

Wanyi was there with the Empress Dowager, chatting and laughing as before, but no one knew what they were thinking.

Meanwhile, more and more people followed Kangxi, mostly his concubines. Wei Mingzhu, on the other hand, was all alone. She had been pushed aside by them, otherwise she wouldn't have appeared behind him.

"Some people, even with all the makeup, can only resemble the real person a fraction. They dare to think they can replace the original, wearing someone else's face every day without feeling ashamed!"

Consort De, of the Guarjia clan, blocked Consort Sun's way. Their feud began when Consort Sun gained favor with the emperor, and in any case, Consort Sun offended quite a few people.

"That's better than having no favor at all. It's not so bad to have no favor, but it's still pitiful to be empty-headed."

When Consort Sun saw that it was Consort De, she was not afraid at all. Consort De had a good family but didn't know how to use it. She couldn't even keep the emperor from serving her. She was a useless person. How could she be worthy to talk to her?

"Hmph? So what if you're pregnant? You can't raise the child yourself. You're just having someone else's baby!"

Even without the emperor's favor, the Imperial Household Department wouldn't dare to treat a person from a powerful family like her too harshly. Little did they know that once the emperor lost the emperor's favor, Consort Sun would find it difficult to move forward in the harem.

"That's better than nothing!" Sun said smugly, walking past Consort De to the other side.

"Damn it!" De Guiren cursed under his breath as he watched the departing figure.

"My esteemed mistress!" A soft, gentle voice suddenly rang out, and Consort De immediately recognized who it was!

"What are you doing here?" Consort De asked, suppressing her emotions and making no attempt to hide her disdain.

"This servant was just passing by and paid her respects to Your Excellency!" Wei Mingzhu naturally sensed her disdain and lowered her head to explain.

"Is she going there?" Consort De wondered. Wasn't she supposed to be by the Emperor's side? How could she be here? Unless she was going back to the Empress Dowager's side! That foxy look of hers, she really made one want to destroy her.

"This servant is fine. His Majesty allowed this servant to wander around!" She dared not say that she had been squeezed out, otherwise what if she was harassed by her? But Wei Mingzhu underestimated the shamelessness of Consort De, Guarjia.

"Since there's nothing else, why don't you accompany me for a walk!" As for where we're going, just follow along! She didn't know where we were going either, but she still brought her along, and could only wait for an opportunity...

"Yes, this servant obeys!" Wei Mingzhu sighed; there was no escaping it after all!

"Is your father an Inner Steward in the Imperial Household Department?" Consort De asked curiously. She knew that there were more than a dozen Inner Stewards in the Imperial Household Department, and it was impossible for them all to be her father!

"Yes, Your Excellency, it is the Xin Zhe Ku!" Wei Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat, but she still replied in a low voice.

"Ha! I didn't expect her to be from the Xin Zhe Ku, the daughter of the Xin Zhe Ku!" Guan Jiannu thought, "She must have some of the lowly slave attributes!" She looked at Wei Mingzhu with the face of a servant! Consort De thought jealously.

"Father only manages the Xin Zhe Ku!" She wasn't a lowly slave in the Xin Zhe Ku. She didn't want to hear others slander her father like that; her father was the best to her.

"Isn't that the same? They're just servants!" Consort De said, but Wei Mingzhu was very displeased. She could dislike her, but she couldn't say anything about her family!

"Although my father is a servant, he is still the Emperor's son. Please be careful with your words, Your Excellency!" Her father was very kind.

"I've already said it, so what can you do about it?" Noble Lady De said with a playful tone.

"This servant may be powerless against the nobleman, but she can be ruthless to herself!" Unknowingly, they walked into a waterside pavilion. Kangxi was on the other side of the river. If they shouted loudly, he would see them clearly.
