Inside the palace.
The Sixth Princess's residence.
On her way to visit her sister, Marie encountered a palace maid sweeping the floor.
Marie didn't notice at first, but just as she passed by, a plain-looking palace maid accidentally brushed against her feet.
"Ah, Sixth Princess, I'm sorry, this servant didn't see you."
The young palace maid hurriedly dropped her broom, knelt on the ground, and apologized.
"Heh, how could you be so careless, you little palace maid!"
Qi Yue scolded the clumsy little palace maid in front of her.
Princess Marie stopped her, "It's alright, just be more careful next time."
Qi Yue stopped herself from speaking. "Then, Princess, shall we continue to the Ninth Princess's place?"
"Yes, that's right."
When they arrived at the Ninth Princess's residence, Marigi saw her sister, dismissed the other palace maids, and left only her and her sister.
Before Xinyu could even express her surprise, Mary took out a slip of paper that had been slipped into her hand at some point.
The palace environment is complex, and even though Xinyu is young, she knows what she should and shouldn't say.
She looked at her sixth sister curiously, "Sister, what does this say?"
Maritch unfolded the note, and when she read its contents, her eyes widened in surprise.
She excitedly placed the note where her younger sister could see it, and then happily exclaimed, "Mother is pregnant!"
"We might have a younger sister or a younger brother!"
"That's wonderful!" Xinyu said happily.
Having gone to see their mother before, the two sisters, Xinyu and her sister, were no longer resistant to their mother's pregnancy and were naturally happy for her.
After saying that, Xinyu sadly propped up her chubby face with her little hands.
"It's a pity we've returned to the palace and won't be able to see Mother anymore."
Maritch patted her head and comforted her, "We've already gone out once, there will definitely be a next time."
Xinyu asked in confusion: "?"
Maritch winked cleverly. "Have you forgotten who took us out last time?"
Xinyu: "!!!"
Fifteenth Imperial Uncle!
"Sister, you're so smart!"
"Of course."
So, Qingyin met the Maritch sisters again in less than two days.
She grabbed one of her daughters' hands in surprise, "Why are you all out here?"
Mary stood quietly to one side, a hint of smugness in her eyes.
Xinyu, being younger, couldn't hide her emotions any longer. She happily hugged Qingyin, "Mother, my sister led us to meet the Fifteenth Imperial Uncle, and then the Fifteenth Imperial Uncle brought us out to see you!"
Qingyin affectionately pinched Xinyu's little nose and then rubbed Mary's head, "You two little rascals."
"Hehe." Maritch and Xinyu both showed the same silly smiles when they were praised.

Meanwhile, Prince Yu, who was once again stopped by Nan Chu in the main courtyard, became increasingly displeased with his old colleague, Nan Chu.
"Lord Nan Chu seems to be getting more and more idle. If he doesn't go to the battlefield, his muscles will probably go soft."
Nan Chu calmly took a sip of tea. "Then there's no need for Your Highness Prince Yu to worry. Generals may be subject to different treatment when they are away from home. Besides, both civil and military officials serve the Emperor, so there is no difference between them."
Prince Yu: "Lord Nan Chu is indeed sharp-tongued."
Nan Chu glanced at him dismissively, "Not as good as His Highness Prince Yu."
Prince Yu: I'm even angrier now.
This time, Prince Yu's attempt to visit Qingyin with the help of the Mary sisters failed again, and he could only return home frustrated, having come with the Mary sisters.
The Imperial Palace.
Golden Phoenix Hall.
Huang Taiji looked at the memorial in his hand, but the dense text inside did not attract his attention at all.
"The Sixth Princess and the Ninth Princess were taken to the Yehenara Palace by the Fifteenth Brother again?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," the head eunuch replied respectfully.
Huang Taiji paused for a moment, then said, "Perhaps that decision was wrong in the first place."
When Huang Taiji spoke, how could the chief eunuch not realize who the emperor was referring to?
Recalling the current state of Lady Zhalute, even though he had just heard the taboo words, the head eunuch lowered his head and became even more respectful and cautious.
