Hearing Biyun say this, Lan Guiren seemed to grasp something: "Yes, child, the emperor attaches great importance to offspring, as long as I can get pregnant, the emperor will definitely come,
The Emperor didn't visit the Empress because she was pregnant, so he kept visiting her and ignored me. Yes, that's it."
As she spoke, Concubine Lan ordered Biyun, "Biyun, go find the pearwood box I brought with me when I entered the palace."
Biyun didn't understand what her master was going to do for a moment, but she didn't dare to disobey Concubine Lan's wishes, so she hurriedly turned around and went into the inner room to look for the box.
Soon, Biyun found the pearwood box and presented it to Concubine Lan.
Lady Lan took the box, opened it in a few seconds, and took out a folded piece of paper. She carefully opened it and looked at it. After confirming that it was what she was looking for, she smiled:
"Yes, that's it. This is the recipe my mother specially asked someone to prepare before I entered the palace. It's a recipe that helps women get pregnant."
As she spoke, she looked at Biyun beside her and ordered, "Biyun, go to the Imperial Hospital and get the medicine according to the prescription. I want to have my own child as soon as possible. As long as I have a child, the emperor will not forget me."
When Biyun heard that it was a recipe for fertility, she immediately agreed: "Yes, I will go right away."
After Biyun left, Concubine Lan's face was full of determination. Her father sent her into the palace despite her cousin already being in the palace, just so that she could give birth to a son.
Although my cousin is a concubine and has a childhood relationship with the emperor, she is weak and has difficulty getting pregnant. After the emperor dies, her Lan family will become even more decadent. Only by giving birth to a prince can the future of the Lan family get better and better.
As soon as she entered the palace, she was favored by the emperor. She thought that she would not need the prescription, but she did not expect that the emperor would stop visiting her after just a few days. Now she could only get pregnant as soon as possible so that the emperor would not forget her.
However, the prescription could only increase her chances of getting pregnant, but it couldn't make the baby appear out of thin air. She still had to find a way to get the emperor to come.
A few more days passed. During these days, the emperor either went to visit the empress and then went to Concubine Lian, or came to Ning Yuxi, and never went to Concubine Lan.
This made Concubine Lan very anxious. She found many excuses to invite the emperor, but it was useless. She couldn't invite the emperor over.
…
At the end of October, Ning Yuxi and Concubine Xian met in the afternoon to go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the scenery. As they sat in the pavilion and chatted about gossip, time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye it was almost time for dinner.
The two stopped talking with reluctance and were about to go back home when they saw a familiar figure in the distance among a patch of hibiscus flowers in full bloom in front of them.
The man had his back to the two of them, and they both felt that he looked very familiar, but they couldn't remember who he was for a moment. Suddenly, Concubine Xian looked at Ning Yuxi next to her, and then looked at the figure in the flowers, and then she realized why he looked familiar.
It turned out that the person was wearing the same light moon-white clothes as Ning Yuxi, and their hair styles were also very similar. Ning Yuxi didn't like to wear too many jewellery, so the jewellery on her head was mainly simple, and the jewellery on the person's hair style was also very simple.
The most similar thing was the man's figure, which looked exactly like Ning Yuxi from the back.
At this moment, the person is dancing in the sea of hibiscus flowers. With simple and elegant dress and graceful dance moves, she is like a fairy among flowers.
Concubine Xian's delicate brows suddenly furrowed: "Who is this person? How dare he imitate your dressing style?"
Upon hearing this, Xianpin's maid Huayin took a closer look and replied, "Master, it seems to be the new concubine Shen."
"Changzai Shen?"
Ning Yuxi and Concubine Xian looked at each other. Concubine Chen was inconspicuous among the newcomers to the palace, and her father was just a minor official of the fifth rank.
As for her appearance, Ning Yuxi thought carefully and found that she was gentle and pretty, which was completely different from her pitiful appearance.
But I never noticed that her figure was quite similar to Ning Yuxi's. At this moment, she was wearing clothes of the same color as Ning Yuxi and dressed similarly. At first glance, she really looked like her.
At this time, a group of people came slowly from a distance, and it seemed that they were about to reach where Shen Chang was.
And Chen Changzai seemed to sense someone approaching, and danced even harder. Ning Yuxi was afraid that her waist would be broken.
Gu Qilan, who was in the distance, saw a familiar figure dancing in the flowers not far ahead. Concubine Yi? Why was she here?
He was about to step forward and call for help when the person dancing suddenly seemed to lose his balance and was about to fall. Gu Qilan didn't have time to think before he leaped over and hugged the person in time: "Be careful..."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw clearly that the person in his arms was not Concubine Yi. He couldn't help but frowned and let her go.
Just as Shen Changzai was about to congratulate herself on the success of her plan, the emperor suddenly let go of her hand. She lost her balance for a moment and fell to the ground in a mess: "Ouch~"
She looked at the emperor with a bit of coquettishness, as if asking why he let her go again, causing her to fall. However, her heart skipped a beat when she saw the emperor's gloomy expression.
Without waiting for her to respond, Gu Qilan asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you wearing Concubine Yi's clothes?"
Of the six new people who entered the palace, except for Concubine Lan and Concubine Lian, whom he visited more often, he had no impression of the other four.
Hearing the emperor say this, Shen Chang felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. How could the emperor not recognize her? After all, she had served him in bed once, right?
She was also accused of wearing Concubine Yi's clothes. How should she respond? Should she be accused of deliberately imitating the favored Concubine Yi?
She was just thinking about how to answer when Gu Qilan said impatiently, "I'm asking you a question!"
Concubine Shen was startled and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, I am Concubine Shen. My clothes are not Concubine Yi's. I saw how beautiful Concubine Yi's clothes were, so I copied her style. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."
Although Gu Qilan didn't know Changzai Chen, she was a member of his harem. He said that he liked Concubine Yi's dress, but he just imitated Concubine Yi deliberately because he liked her. It was really annoying!
"Why are you dancing here instead of staying in your own palace? Since you have so much free time, why not go and copy some scriptures to calm your mind? Also, don't wear this dress anymore!"
After saying that, Gu Qilan left with a look of impatience, leaving Chen Changzai standing there in bewilderment.
