Ganxin Palace.

Concubine Ye and Judge Zhao came together to announce the good news.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Concubine Ye has been pregnant for more than a month." Zhao Yuanpan reported.

Helian Qi smiled when he heard this, "Very good. I'll leave Concubine Ye's baby to you to take good care of."

"Yes." Judge Zhao accepted the order.

Helian Qi looked at Concubine Ye and said, "Pass on my order. Concubine Ye will be promoted to Zhaoyi."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ye Zhaoyi bowed happily.

She faked a pregnancy to get promoted, then had a miscarriage to frame Ning Wanyin, and she was able to avoid being confined to the palace by the rules. Ye secretly admired her own intelligence, achieving three goals in one go.

While the emperor was happy, Ye Zhaoyi took the opportunity to act coquettishly, "I heard that Your Majesty is going to go on an autumn hunt. I have always admired your heroic figure riding a horse and shooting arrows, but I have never had the chance... I wonder if Your Majesty will take me with you this time to broaden your horizons?"

"Has your house arrest period expired?" Helian Qi asked.

He couldn't remember the exact time. But even if the confinement time was up, he would not take Ye Zhaoyi to the autumn hunt.

Wang Degui reminded, "There are still a few days left."

Helian Qi said calmly, "Then stay in the palace. As for the palace rules, you don't need to copy them now, you can make up for it later."

Ye Zhaoyi choked, "Do you need to make up for it?"

Helian Qi looked at her expressionlessly, too lazy to speak.

What else?

For the sake of the royal heir, it was naturally impossible to let her copy the palace rules during her pregnancy, so as to avoid her being tired and feeling unwell.

However, if you deserve to be punished, you should also be punished after giving birth.

Rewards and punishments are clear, rewards are rewards, and punishments are punishments.

"Your Majesty, I am very tired from copying the palace rules..." Ye Zhaoyi said aggrievedly.

Helian Qi looked at her indifferently, "So I'll let you make up for it later. Wang Degui, send Ye Zhaoyi back to the palace."

"Your Majesty~" Ye Zhaoyi called in a coquettish voice, trying to get away with the matter by acting coquettishly.

But Helian Qi no longer paid attention to her and lowered his head to review memorials.

Ye Zhaoyi had no choice but to be invited back to Ranfeng Pavilion. She was very anxious, as her pregnancy could only last for two months...

I heard that Ning Wanyin was going on the autumn hunt, and His Majesty would not take me with him.

I don’t know how long this autumn hunt will last. What if her pregnancy period expires before she comes back? Wouldn’t that mean she will miss the trip?

For a moment, Ye Zhaoyi was worried.

…

Yonghe Palace.

Ning Wanyin looked at the huge map of Purple Mountain spread out on the table and pondered deeply.

Lian Rui walked in quickly and reported:

"Master, Ye Zhaoyi of Ranfeng Pavilion is pregnant..."

Ning Wanyin seemed to be thinking about something, "It's a bit of a coincidence."

The eunuch serving in the Ranfeng Pavilion complained to the palace maids living with him in private that his master had not copied even one page of palace rules, so how would he report to the emperor when the time came...

Lianrui always paid attention to the news in the palace, and Xiao Guizi loved to ask around and join in the fun, so she soon found out about this.

When Ning Wanyin heard this, she felt something was wrong.

For a concubine who wants to win the emperor's favor, the biggest obstacle is being confined to the emperor and not being able to see him.

If you can’t finish copying the palace rules, you will be confined to your room. If you can’t finish copying them in one month, then you have to copy them in two or three months…

No matter how stupid he was, in order to see the emperor as soon as possible, he had no choice but to copy the palace rules as soon as possible.

Ye's indifferent attitude is contrary to common sense.

As a result, at this time, she became pregnant.

This gave Ning Wanyin a subtle sense of déjà vu: she seemed to know that she would be pregnant, as if she knew that she didn't have to continue copying the palace rules.

How can one predict pregnancy?

There's something a little weird about this.

Now there are two pregnant women in the palace...

Leaving Wei Yingya alone in the palace would easily lead to her getting involved in trouble.

Ning Wanyin thought for a moment and ordered:

"Lianrui, take the popcorn and taro milk tea that we made this morning in the kitchen and go to Ganxin Palace to pay respects to His Majesty."

"yes."

Ning Wanyin arrived at Ganxin Palace and reported:

"Your Majesty, I think that the menu for this autumn hunting feast can include some new and exotic snacks developed by Ying Zhaoyi. Although snacks are minor, they can also let foreign countries see the vast land and rich food of our Great Yan."

Helian Qi's eyes fell on the popcorn and taro milk tea on the table.

It has to be said that when it comes to eating, Ying Zhaoyi is unique.

Diplomatic relations between big countries and small countries.

Naturally, it is necessary to show the style of a great country in terms of food, culture, art and other aspects.

"Wanwan is very thoughtful. This arrangement is very appropriate." Helian Qi nodded in agreement:

"Add Ying Zhaoyi to the list of names to be included in this autumn hunting party. You will work with her to organize this autumn hunting party."

"Yes." Ning Wanyin bowed and accepted the order.

Ning Wanyin went to Ganxin Palace and found that Ying Zhaoyi was added to the autumn hunting list.

Many newcomers immediately started to think: Can we add more people to this already public list?

All the concubines tried their best to win the emperor's favor and take him with him.

Since one has been added, it is possible to add a second one.

But they all returned in failure.

Ye Zhaoyi, who was under house arrest in Ranfeng Pavilion, became even more angry when she heard the news.

Why can't I go to the autumn hunt even though I'm "pregnant", but Wei Yingya, who has no favor, can go? Why can Wei Yingya!

…

Three days later.

On the banquet table in front of the Zijin Palace, Helian Qi and Ning Wanyin sat at the main seats.

The clan relatives and ministers sat on both sides, and the accompanying concubines sat on the side and back.

The solemn bells rang, and the ceremonial officer sang loudly:

"The Xuanbei Desert delegation is here to meet with the emperor—"

Four men and women in exotic costumes walked in. Leading the group was a bearded envoy in his forties, and behind him stood three beautiful women.

"The Northern Desert envoy pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Yan and His Royal Highness the Royal Concubine! On behalf of all the Northern Desert allies, I wish His Majesty the Emperor longevity and health, and His Royal Highness the Royal Highness happiness and prosperity." The leading envoy greeted the two people in the main seat in fluent Great Yan official language.
