Su Ruhuan still lives in the side hall of Mingde Palace.

It is inconvenient for a pregnant concubine who is about to give birth to move around, so during this period of time, Wen Shutang came to visit and greet her every day.

On the day of delivery, Wen Shutang and other concubines who remained in the palace were waiting in the outer hall.

Screams of pain were heard one after another from the inner hall.

Wen Shutang was in a very calm mood, with just the right amount of worry on her face.

She didn't care much whether Su Ruhuan gave birth to a son or a daughter. If a concubine of this ordinary family background was lucky enough to give birth to a prince, she might be able to use him in the future.

Wen Shutang intends to use contraception because there is one thing she hasn't done yet.

Because only if she couldn't give birth to a child could she accomplish that goal without arousing the suspicion of the emperor and Ning Wanyin.

But she also knew that when she wanted a child, whether she had a son or a daughter was God's will and she had no control over it.

If she can't give birth to a son, she will have to adopt someone else's son in the future.

Therefore, it might not be a bad idea to have a few more princes born to low-ranking concubines in the palace.

In the royal family, few princes were born successfully, and few princes grew up. Let's wait and see.

"Lan Zhaoyi, I heard that when Yan Zhaoyi was pregnant, she loved spicy food. I guess she is going to give birth to a princess." Concubine Yao's eyes were full of jealousy.

She and Su Ruhuan entered the palace together, both were beauties. But now one of them is a Zhaoyi who will give birth to an heir to the throne, while she is a Jieyu who was punished by the emperor to copy the palace rules.

She was the daughter of the Minister of Rites, but now she was not as well off as the daughter of a poor family. She was very angry.

If it weren't for Concubine Jing and then Concubine Lan, who took turns to guard Su Ruhuan tightly and didn't let her find the opportunity, otherwise she would have done it secretly...

"Whether she is a prince or a princess, Concubine Yan has helped expand the royal family and is a contributor to the royal family." Wen Shutang said calmly, with a gentle smile, looking very virtuous.

Seeing that she didn't mind at all, Yao Jieyu could only smile and flatter her, "Lan Zhaoyi is right. Yan Zhaoyi is still alive thanks to your care..."

"Empress Jing unfortunately passed away. It is my job to assist in managing the six palaces." Wen Shutang still answered calmly.

During this period, she was in charge of the affairs of the six palaces. She treated people gently and had good ability to handle affairs. She gradually gained some prestige in the palace.

She is the leader among the second round of beauties.

The concubines sat idly and waited, talking in low voices in twos and threes.

One day and one night later...

The midwife came out with a baby in her arms, smiling broadly, announcing the good news: "Concubine Yan gave birth to a prince!"

Concubine Yao's eyes were full of disappointment.

Wen Shutang smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, and Congratulations to Consort Yan. The imperial doctors, midwives, and palace maids have worked hard, and they will be rewarded handsomely."

Wang Degui smiled and looked at the little prince in the cradle, saying, "I will leave the Summer Palace to report the good news to Your Majesty!"

…

Mountain Resort, Changning Garden.

Tang Miaoling and Wei Yingya sat at the coffee table by the window.

It has been half a month since Marquis Changping went on the expedition to the Northern Desert. Although there have been frequent reports of victory, she can't help but worry.

After all, it was his own father who went to the battlefield, and swords had no mercy.

Tang Miaoling was panicking, so she went to find Ning Wanyin. When she saw her cousin, she felt an inexplicable sense of security.

It seems like there is nothing to be afraid of.

Everything will be fine.

"Cousin, news just came from home... The weapons of the Lori tribe were secretly transported in by a general in the Northwest Army Camp in collusion with the Duoguo tribe." Tang Miaoling still felt a lingering fear when she thought of this:

"If you hadn't asked people to be on guard early on, our Tang family would have been wiped out this time!"

The emperor has always been lenient to the princes and dukes who guarded the border and never implicated them.

Only the crime of treason will result in the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan. The punishment will be severe and there will be no leniency.

This time, the encirclement and suppression of the Duoguo tribe with thunderous fury was also a warning to the other tribes, so that they would have some ideas in their hearts.

"My mother wrote to me specially and asked me to convey the Tang family's gratitude to you." Tang Miaoling added.

During the last autumn hunt, the guards of the envoy group who murdered Brother Tang Miaoling were also arranged by the Duoguo tribe.

This was one of the terms of exchange proposed by the general who was cooperating with them.

The Great Yan Dynasty was a military merit system.

Although the son of Marquis Changping could inherit his title of marquis, the title was a title and the military position was a military position.

If the next Marquis of Changping fails to live up to his expectations, it is very likely that the power of the Northwest Army will fall into the hands of other generals.

He didn't expect that the eldest son of Marquis Changping was so brave, so he resorted to this bad idea.

But Ning Wanyin saw through his plan and Tang Yuan escaped.

The Duoguo tribe paid some other chips before the other party helped them smuggle a batch of weapons.

"I never thought she was so bad. She cried and complained to us while hiding evidence of her crimes in my room. She and I have no grudge against each other. You even saved her several times. I didn't expect her to be so cruel..." Tang Miaoling felt angry and sad when she mentioned Qizhu.

When Qizhu blocked Concubine Lin from being dragged into the water, she was sincerely grateful.

Unexpectedly...

Woo woo woo, she is so bad!

Fortunately, I have a cousin.

Otherwise, they would have walked together hand in hand as a family now.

Wei Yingya was also very angry about Qizhu's betrayal. Ning Wanyin had warned her that she was suspicious, but after spending some time together, everyone got along happily.

She thought the 10% chance was very small, and maybe Qizhu could also become a good sister.

result……

"He repays kindness with evil, he deserves to be put to death!" Wei Yingya looked angrily.

Ning Wanyin said, "The people we rescued are no different from strangers."

She has always been on guard, so she has no emotions about the current situation.
