A cold look flashed across the Crown Prince's eyes when he heard her words. "Noble Consort?" If she could be a Noble Consort today, she could become an Imperial Noble Consort or even Empress someday.

Yinqi has now posed a great threat to him. If she becomes the queen because of the two pairs of twins born to Mu Sili, can he still hold on to his position as the crown prince?

It seems that he was overthinking it before, otherwise how could such a thing happen?

"Come here, ask my uncle to come over and tell me that I'm very happy to hear that my fifth brother's wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, but I don't know what gift to give. I hope he can give me some advice."

"yes."

The Crown Princess lowered her head and did not respond. The Crown Prince was really narrow-minded. The so-called gift he mentioned was probably not a gift in the true sense, but he wanted to use Soetu's hand to get rid of the two pairs of twins.

Except for that, such a background is a thorn in her heart. Even if she can become the empress dowager as she wishes, she cannot touch these two pairs of twins.

"Your Highness, are you going to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager has returned, and as the Crown Princess, I should go to Shoukang Palace to pay my respects to her. I should also visit my newly born nephews and nieces. It would be great if I could share in their good fortune."

The prince's eyes flashed, but he didn't say he wanted to go together. Concubine Li has been pregnant for almost half a year now. With the help of the prince's wife, the entire harem is waiting for her baby to be born.

He now had to get preparations made outside. If Mu Sili could increase her pregnancy from three to four, then Concubine Li could do the same.

Since it is possible, of course he has to let her give birth to quadruplets. However, his requirements are not high. A daughter is enough. Only a son can help him sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince.

"I won't go. I'll go see Concubine Li. I'm worried about her big belly. My fifth brother's wife was able to give birth prematurely under Concubine Yi's careful care. I'm worried that Concubine Li will also give birth prematurely."

"Then I will not accompany Your Highness. After all, multiple births and premature births are common. Your Highness should go and see Concubine Li. Her belly scares me. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I will go to Shoukang Palace first."

The Crown Princess had no expectations for the child in Concubine Li's belly. No matter whether it was a boy or a girl, it was born by someone else. She could tolerate raising a child, but it could not be her child.

In addition, Mousse Li was able to turn the triplets in her belly into quadruplets, which means that she has a secret recipe for having children. As long as we get the secret recipe in her hands, how many children can she have?

The prince did not stop her. After all, the two of them had reached the point where they were only physically together but spiritually apart. If it were not for her status and the fact that he needed a legitimate son, he would not have wanted to come to her side.

In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother asked Concubine Yi to choose a gift for Mu Sili. Among them were even some things that only the Queen could use, which made Concubine Yi shocked.

"Empress Dowager, isn't this a bit too valuable? If I remember correctly, this is something only the Empress can wear, right? If you gave these things to Xiao Wu Fu Jin, the Crown Princess would be unhappy if she knew."

"Can she still control me? These are all my things. I will give them to whoever I want. If anyone has any objections, just come to me and tell me.

I raised only one child, Xiaowu. I should love his wife dearly, not to mention that she gave birth to two pairs of twins, a boy and a girl, for Xiaowu. What an honor! I say she can wear it if she wants.

Look at you, you have become a little cautious now that you have become a royal concubine. I remember that you were the most flamboyant, just like me back then. Now that you have become a royal concubine, you should be more generous. I will support you.

Besides, Xiao Wu Fu Jin is not allowed to wear these jewelry now, so can't you and Xiao Wu try harder to let her wear them? As long as you try hard, she can wear them if she wants, right? "

The corners of Concubine Yi's mouth kept twitching. If she understood correctly, the Queen Mother meant for them to compete for the throne?

Although she really wanted to be the Queen Mother, and Yinqi also had this idea, but wouldn't it be inappropriate for the Queen Mother to say it so openly? She would be embarrassed!

"I like Xiao Wu Fu Jin very much. She is considerate and fertile. There is no reason for me not to like her."

There was a hint of childishness in the Queen Mother's tone, which made Concubine Yi laugh.

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. Xiaowu and I will definitely work hard to make sure that Concubine Xiaowu wears the jewelry you've gifted her as soon as possible."

"That's good. I don't have anything else, but I have plenty of these material possessions. I originally planned to give some to Xiaowu and Wen Xian, but Wen Xian's temper is not good, so I don't want to give it to her.

Anyway, she has a mother, Concubine De, who dotes on her. Even if I don't prepare a dowry for her, the Emperor and Concubine De will. There's no need to waste these good things on her.

I have decided that after I am gone, my dowry and the rewards given by the Empress Dowager will all be left to Xiaowu Fujin. As for Xiaowu, he can ask his Fujin for whatever he wants."

Concubine Yi silently lit a candle for Yinqi. Does this count as losing a mountain of gold to marry a wife?

But Mu Sili is his wife, so these things are the same no matter who has them. There is no need to divide them so carefully and hurt their feelings.

"I understand. You dote on my Fifth Lady. I think this hairpin is quite nice. Why don't you give it to me?"

"You like it? Then take it. No need to tell me."

The Empress Dowager already liked Concubine Yi. It was just a hairpin. Since she liked it and asked for it, she naturally would not refuse.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is here."

The Queen Mother frowned slightly. What was the Crown Princess doing here at this time? Was she here to see the quadruplets?

"Since she's here, let her in. I'm not the type to turn anyone away."

"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and greet your mother."

After all, she is the Crown Princess. Even if she is wary of Concubine Yi, she will not show it on her face.

"Get up, why are you here at this hour?"

"I was going to come here earlier. After all, you're back, and I should have come to pay my respects to you. However, my fifth sister-in-law is about to give birth, so it's not convenient for me to come, so I've waited until now to come and pay my respects."

"So that's how it is. I didn't have anything to do. I didn't feel tired even though I stopped and walked along the way. Plus, after I came back, I received a big gift from Mrs. Xiaowu. Even if I was exhausted, it disappeared immediately.

You are the Crown Princess, and you have a lot to do in Yuqing Palace. I am very pleased that you can come to visit me, but I still want to talk about you. I hope you can give birth to a legitimate son for the Crown Prince as soon as possible."

The Queen Mother was talking to the Crown Princess while choosing gifts. She was not liked by the late Emperor in the past, and the current Crown Princess was just as disliked by the Prince as she was before. She sympathized with her.
