Yu Yin thought about it for a moment, but decided to speak up anyway, because keeping it inside would be more painful.
"Madam Meng Jingxian is pregnant." Yu Yin thought that since she was Lan Qin's cousin, Lan Qin would definitely help her come up with ideas.
When Lanqin heard that the Seventeenth Prince was about to have an heir, she was genuinely happy for him, but out of consideration for Yuyin's feelings, she did not show it.
"The Seventeenth Prince is loyal to the Emperor. Now that he has a child, he is carrying on the royal line. This is a good thing. Why are you unhappy?" Lanqin comforted her.
Yu Yin thought Lan Qin would stand by her side, but she didn't expect her to speak up for Meng Jingxian. She was displeased. "Is it a good thing to have children for the royal family? But..." Yu Yin hesitated.
Lanqin guessed what she was thinking, placed her hand on Yuyin's hand, and advised, "It's actually a good thing that the principal wife has a child. With a child, she won't hold too much resentment when you concubines have children in the future, and your children can be safe and sound. Moreover, if this child is born, your lives won't be too difficult in the future." Lanqin said earnestly, hoping that Yuyin wouldn't have any evil thoughts about the child, so as not to suffer later.
“But… the principal wife is usually very favored by the prince. If she has this child, the lives of us concubines may become even more difficult,” Yu Yin said.
It turns out that the Seventeenth Prince values his primary wife more. Thinking of Meng Jingxian, Yu Yin always felt unhappy. Originally, she had asked Lan Qin to arrange a marriage for her, but unexpectedly, a girl from the Meng family appeared halfway through, and the Seventeenth Prince liked her so much.
"Yu Yin, the Empress and I have been at odds for so long. She harbors resentment because she lost her legitimate son and has done so many cruel things to me. But in the end, she has come to this. Yu Yin, don't do anything that you will regret in the end," Lan Qin said earnestly.
Yu Yin nodded as if she understood.
"Yu Yin, you must know that there is always a way out. If you want the Seventeenth Prince's heart, you must use your own heart to warm and get close to him. I think the Seventeenth Prince is a man of great affection. If you treat him with sincerity, he will surely feel it," Lan Qin advised.
Yu Yin had originally intended to ask Lan Qin for advice, since Lan Qin had been favored by the Emperor for so many years, she felt that Lan Qin must have some secret. But instead of answering these questions, Yu Yin replied, "Cousin, I understand, I will keep it in mind."
Lanqin knew that she had to figure this out herself, otherwise it would be useless. "Yuyin, you need to know that for a woman, the most important things in this life are not power, but love and family. As long as you do what you should do, you will definitely get what you deserve," Lanqin said.
As a time traveler, Lanqin feels she has failed miserably, as she has now completely become a typical feudal woman bound by the "three obediences and four virtues."
Yu Yin hadn't expected Lan Qin to be so open-minded; no wonder the Emperor liked her cousin so much. Hearing this, Yu Yin finally felt a little better. Lan Qin was right; a woman's title and status in this life weren't important, what mattered was the Seventeenth Prince. Although she still felt some loneliness and disappointment, she understood him more than anything else.
After thanking Lanqin, Yuyin left. Lanqin watched her departing figure, hoping that Yuyin could truly understand.
