Concubine Chun ignored Concubine Qin's words, but Concubine Rong was not worried. What she was thinking about now was the news that was passed into the palace from her brother.
It seems that His Majesty has decided to adopt a child, but I don’t know under whose name His Majesty will raise the child.
According to the rules, the child would definitely be born under the queen's name, but this is absolutely not allowed.
Over the years, I have been bullying the empress a lot because I have the emperor's only child. If she gives birth to a prince and then has someone to rely on, I don't know what my future will be like.
Besides, Princess Jingning has always been in poor health. If an outsider really comes, then the days ahead...
She must find a way to have the child under her own name.
Concubine Qin was still talking, not noticing Concubine Chun's thoughts at all.
"My Lady, My Lady?"
"Hmm? What did you say?"
"Your Majesty, I say that Concubine Rong has been disrespectful to you before, relying on your Majesty's favor. Why don't we take this opportunity to teach her a lesson now?"
When Concubine Qin said this, she naturally didn't mean to go herself. She was just a noble lady now, and she said this just to use Concubine Chun to deal with Concubine Rong.
"Okay, since my sister is so thoughtful, I'd like to see how she teaches her."
The smile on Concubine Qin's face froze for a moment, and then she replied, "Your Majesty, just wait and see."
After coming out of Concubine Chun, the master and servant began to talk in a low voice. "My dear, what do you think the Concubine meant?"
"What do you mean? Of course it's the same as what I mean. She wants to use me as a pawn."
"What can we do then? Young Master's brother's future is still in the hands of the Imperial Concubine's brother."
Concubine Qin sighed. How could she not know the seriousness of the matter? That was why she was on good terms with Concubine Chun.

Three days passed in a flash!
On this day, Princess Liang brought her three sons into the palace. In name, they were there to visit the Queen Mother and talk to her, but in reality, everyone knew that they were brought into the palace to be seen by the various masters.
Whoever he takes a fancy to will be the future Crown Prince of this dynasty.
Originally, the decision was only made by the Emperor, Empress and Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother wanted to invite several concubines from the palace to join in the fun and see the true nature of these children, so she called them all over.
Jiang Rongxi has been in much better spirits these days. She thought it was probably because the emperor hadn't stayed overnight at her place for a long time, allowing her to get a full night's sleep.
So I got up early today, and I wasn't unhappy. On the contrary, I was so happy after eating a few oranges that I even walked faster to pay my respects to the Queen Mother.
On the way, I met Concubine Rou and Concubine Xuan. Although they entered the palace together, Rong Xi was promoted to the position of concubine, and her rank was much higher than theirs.
In the past, people would greet each other when they met, but now they can only greet each other politely.
Rong Xi was not familiar with them, so he did not go with them.
The two beauties watched Rong Xi walk away and whispered to each other, "It seems that His Majesty has really disliked this Rongpin. His Majesty hasn't visited her in the past few days."
Xuan Meiren: "I think so too. She is just pretty, but she is a fool. Who would like a fool?"
Rong Xi has always had excellent hearing. Although he was some distance away from them, he could still hear clearly what they said just now.
She turned and looked at the two people who had just called her a fool. Her eyes were sharp, which made Rou Meiren and Xuan Meiren's hearts tremble.
Why is this fool's eyes so scary?
Rong Xi originally wanted to follow Concubine Chun's example and punish the two of them by making them kneel here, but since she was in a good mood today, she decided to let them do this first.
When Rong Xi arrived, the Queen and Concubine Chun were already there. Concubine Chun also brought out Princess Jingning, a rare event. Sitting on the other side was a woman he had never seen before, and three children.
"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."
The Empress Dowager had not seen Rong Xi since her last meeting, and she got the news from those around her and the Emperor.
After knowing that her son had now decided on her, she couldn't help but feel more tolerant of her.
"Sit down."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Concubine Shu, Concubine Rou, and Concubine Xuan also arrived one after another, and the Queen Mother began to introduce the three children.
"It's quite lively today. It's rare for me to see so many children. It's also rare for Princess Liang to come to the palace to accompany me. The Queen and several concubines don't know these children yet. Please introduce them to them."
"Yes, mother!"
Princess Liang's face didn't show much joy. She pulled her eldest son aside and said, "Mother, it's just that the eldest son, Xuanzhe, is ten years old this year."
She then introduced her second and third sons, one eight years old and the other five years old, who were at the age when they were prone to mischief.
The younger son is still okay after all, but the ten-year-old eldest son and the eight-year-old son are much more obviously trying to please each other.
Especially the eldest brother Xuanzhe, who was so attentive and polite around the queen. Although he was still young, he looked like a humble young man, and the queen liked him very much.
Concubine Chun was not to be outdone. She pulled the second man aside to talk to her and kindly introduced Jingning to her.
Rong Xi was also happy when he saw these children, especially the five-year-old baby, who was a little shy and lying in the arms of Princess Liang.
Rong Xi subconsciously touched her belly. She thought that her kitten would probably be like him when it was born.
Concubine Qin had been looking at Rong Xi. Seeing her touching her belly, she laughed in her heart. She thought that just because other people were having children, she wanted to have one too.
He is indeed a fool. If Your Majesty could have a child, why would he adopt one here?
"Is Concubine Rong's kitchen cooking something delicious recently? She seems to be getting more and more blessed."
The few people who had been paying attention to the children also looked at Rong Xi when they heard this.
Although she looks a little fatter, she actually looks more charming.
"Yes, Chunhua made braised pork elbow for me."
She seemed not to understand the sarcasm of others, and answered Qin Guiren's words seriously, but what Qin Guiren was about to say next was stuck in her throat.
…
The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at Concubine Qin, saying that she couldn't even tell what was important today. She was such a stupid fool.
Chunhua Qiuyue has been with the young master every day but she didn't notice that she has gained weight. It seems that she still needs to control her food intake in the future.
Rong Xi didn't care what they thought at all. He just said that, and he really wanted to eat the braised pork elbow made by Chunhua.
Seeing that everyone else had returned to their previous state, Rong Xi called out Chunhua softly.
"Chunhua, can we have braised pork elbow tonight?" Before Chunhua could reply, she spoke again. "Cook it a little longer, it will taste better when it's softer."
Spring flowers and autumn moon... My lady, did you understand the hidden meaning of Concubine Qin?
Concubine Shu, who has always been keeping an eye on Rong Xi: ...
The Queen who accidentally overheard: ...

Thank you all for your comments. I will draw a treasure from the comment section and give it to Rong Xi's brain (? 3?)?
