Prince Kang's Palace.
There is a party in the east at night.
Celebrate birthdays for kids.
Those who come are powerful officials.
It's very lively.
Many people brought generous gifts, but King Kang announced that he would not accept any gifts this time.
And also sent a return gift.
Now everyone spread the good name of King Kang, saying that he was not a person who used children to make money, but was a man who respected the wise and humble.
Shen Zhiyun was naturally happy about the birthday party that King Kang held for Dongfang Ning. She flitted among the ladies like a butterfly. Lei Yuezhu, because she was pregnant, simply put all her affairs aside and did not even leave the house.
The other ladies were present, and An Ranyue was even dressed up and looked quite fancy. She didn't look crazy at all, which made Shen Zhiyun feel that he was being too suspicious.
Anyway, An Ranyue stole the limelight and even had the demeanor of a mistress of the house, which made Dongfang Ye look at her with admiration.
That night, Dongfang Ye came to An Ranyue's room.
At this moment, Shen Zhiyun's pride and glory disappeared completely. He just held his child and sat there with a cold face all night. Dongfang Ning, on the other hand, slept soundly.
The next morning, Shen Zhiyun's face was still cold, but he began to order people to prepare breakfast for Dongfang Ye. As a result, he still did not come to his yard in the morning.
This banquet was held.
It’s better not to do it.
An Ranyue is a scheming person, she would actually do this. I really underestimated her before. This woman is really an evil person with evil intentions.
How could she do this?
It was not until noon that Shen Zhiyun received the news that Dongfang Ye had gone directly to court.
This guy!
He didn't feel any guilt at all.
She sat in the yard. The autumn wind was blowing and it was getting colder. For the time being, Shen Zhiyun was still the housekeeper.
The housekeeper reported to her the expenses in autumn, including making padded jackets and monthly salaries. In short, it was a huge sum of money. She frowned. There was not much money left in the storehouse. The rest was actually a reward from Lei Yuezhu's mother's family. If she was asked to use this part of the money, she would be in a dilemma.
It’s not that I don’t dare, it’s that I don’t want to.
at night.
She mentioned the silver to Dongfang Ye and wanted to ask him what he had used it for, but she didn't dare to. She just asked him tactfully, "Your Majesty, has your salary not been paid yet?"
Dongfang Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "What's wrong? Is there no money in the mansion?"
"Yes, it costs a lot to make autumn clothes. Censor Zhang's family wants to select a daughter to enter the palace, so we have to give some money. There are also several families whose daughters want to enter the palace to become queens, so the gift money is indispensable. I'm afraid we won't be able to make it through this month, but not next month. If we had known this, we should have accepted some gifts when celebrating Ning'er's birthday, so that we wouldn't always spend more than we earn." Shen Zhiyun sighed, looking like a good cook who can't cook without rice.
Dongfang Ye sneered when he heard this: "Dongfang Jin once boasted that he would only have her as his woman for the rest of his life when he married An Qingran. Now he's participating in a talent show again. It's really embarrassing."
"Didn't they say that this was forced by the Concubine Dowager and the Emperor?"
"My mother won't force him to get married." Dongfang Ye held Shen Zhiyun in his arms and suddenly smiled evilly: "If I were the emperor, what would you think of selecting concubines for the harem?"
Shen Zhiyun pushed his chest and said, "You shouldn't ask me this question. You should ask the princess. You are the emperor and she is the queen. She will take care of the selection for you."
"I just want to ask what you think." Dongfang Ye pinched her nose with a doting look, and Shen Zhiyun's heart was moved.
After thinking for a while, he said, "If you really want me to imagine it, I will do what I want. At most, I can help you check and prevent Yaksha from entering the palace."
Dongfang Ye smiled.
Shen Zhiyun said again: "Why do you suddenly use such an analogy? If others hear it, it will be terrible."
"What? Is there someone else hiding in the room?" Dongfang Ye asked deliberately.
"Hate."
"Or will you go out and say no?"
"How annoying!" Shen Zhiyun refused, turned over and rode on him, looking down at him, "Go talk to the princess about this matter, and see if she doesn't get angry."
Dongfang Ye turned over and pressed her down: "That's why I told you..."
The next sound was very loud and traveled very far...
The next day, when Shen Zhiyun appeared, her face was flushed, her expression was as pretty as a young girl in spring, and her voice was much gentler.
She also took the initiative to visit Lei Yuezhu and asked her to take good care of her pregnancy. After she left the yard, Lei Yuezhu became depressed.
However, there was one thing that she couldn't let go of: An Ranyue's singing voice was heard!
She actually sang.
Is he still very crazy or has he gotten better?
Could it be that being favored once would cure her half-madness?
*******
Shouwang Mansion.
study.
Dongfang Run was sitting at the desk, reading a book quietly. Zhong Min'er was sitting on a soft couch beside her with her big belly, also quite quiet. However, she was not reading the book, but looking at Dongfang Run.
The piercing eyes made Dongfang Run feel a little uncomfortable. He finally put down the book and smiled gently: "What's wrong? I asked you if you had anything to say, but you said you had nothing to say. You look at me like this, do you have anything to say?"
Zhong Min'er shook her head, a distant look appeared in her eyes: "Just now I was imagining, if we hadn't returned to Beijing, what would the situation be like in Qi Town? When you were there, you also liked to read books, and I also accompanied you in this way. Now that I accompany you, are you not used to it?"
Dongfang Run shook his head when he heard this: "How could that be? It's just that you are rarely this quiet. In the past, you always liked to talk about this and that, and were very lively."
"Really? So this is how you think of me. Well, since I came to Shouwang Mansion, everything has been good. The food and supplies are many times richer than at home, and the people who come and go are all rare figures. I should have no regrets, but I don't know why, I always feel that something is wrong. It may be because you have a son, Princess, and our child is born out of wedlock... I know I shouldn't care about these things. What I want is you as a person." Zhong Min'er seemed to know that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly changed the subject, "By the way, I arranged Xin'er's birthday. Is the Crown Princess satisfied?"
"Not bad. Not bad." Dongfang Run looked like a good old man.
Zhong Min'er suddenly laughed: "You said that Ling'er, this little girl, likes Xin'er very much. Last time, she fell on Xin'er and felt very guilty, so most of the ideas this time were from her. She herself
I prepared a show originally intended for Xin'er to watch, but the children went to bed early, so there was such a surprise."
In fact, Zhong Min'er was very disdainful in her heart, thinking that An Qingran and the others were just so-so. Wasn't she also amazed by her sister's dance?
Now that I think about it, their reputation as the four greatest masters is not so genuine.
Judging from their looks, I can probably get one of them.
Dongfang Run hummed lightly.
Zhong Min'er added: "Ling'er really likes the life of the people in Beijing. Actually, my husband, there is something I have been thinking about for a long time, but I just don't know how to start."
"Just say it."
"Ling'er intends to enter the palace." Zhong Min'er's words surprised Dongfang Run.
"She likes the emperor?" Dongfang Run asked again.
"Well, this little girl can't keep her thoughts to herself. She was too embarrassed to tell me at first, but recently she was afraid that the selection would be overdue, so she had to tell me that if our Shouwang Mansion sends her to the palace, she will get what she wants and our Shouwang Mansion will be taken care of, right?"
"She doesn't need to take care of the Shou Palace." Dongfang Run said calmly, "If she really wants to enter the palace, just send her in. I just heard that the emperor and the queen have a good relationship, so I hope she is mentally prepared."
"Ling'er has already thought about it. She said that as long as she can enter the palace, she is guaranteed to win the emperor's heart." Zhong Min'er said with a smile.
Hearing this, Dongfang Run laughed out loud: "After all, we are young and dare to think of anything."
This statement has a derogatory meaning.
Zhong Min'er could hear it, but she agreed with Dongfang Run's words and couldn't help but smile: "Children don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. If she thinks this way, let her be. Anyway, I have already made it clear to her about the struggles in the palace. If she wants to do it, there is no way to stop her."
"In that case, let's get ready. I will present you the birthday portrait." Dongfang Run said calmly.
It was already the next day when Lou Wanyue learned the news.
Everyone in the mansion is preparing.
It is a prestigious thing for the Shouwang Mansion to have a concubine.
Lou Wanyue called Zhong Min'er and asked her if she needed anything. She answered one by one, and Lou Wanyue also helped to make arrangements. The Shouwang Mansion was unexpectedly very lively for a while, as if this was a big happy event.
Zhong Ling'er was the happiest. She never expected that her wish would soon come true.
She became more and more cheerful in Prince Shou's mansion, and her laughter could be heard every day.
Dongfang Xin forgot the pain after his wound healed and started to pester her to play with him again. After Zhong Ling'er got Dongfang Run's permission, she took him everywhere to play.
Lou Wanyue was worried the whole time and arranged for Qianshu and others to keep watch over her. All day long, she just hoped that Zhong Ling'er would be carried into the palace soon.
******
The Imperial Palace.
An Qingran was lying on the bed with a frown on her face and beads of sweat. Dongfang Jin pushed her twice but failed to wake her up. Startled, Dongfang Jin used a lot of force and An Qingran suddenly opened her eyes, full of fear. When she saw clearly that the person next to her was Dongfang Jin, she let out a long sigh.
"What's wrong? Qingqing?" Dongfang Jin's eyes were full of worry.
An Qingran was stunned for a moment. She felt a headache and rubbed her forehead. "It was just a nightmare..."
"What nightmare?" Dongfang Jin asked with concern.
An Qingran thought about it and shook her head: "I don't remember it very clearly, I just felt it was very scary."
Dongfang Jin held her in his arms and patted her back gently: "I'm here, don't be afraid."
An Qingran lay in front of Dongfang Jin and slowly calmed down. There was deep doubt in her eyes. She remembered all the details of the dream, but she didn't want to say it.
She didn't want to make Dongfang Jin worry.
---------------
It's the last three days of the month. Those who haven't sent their monthly tickets yet, please send them out quickly, or they will be invalid next month. Please send your monthly tickets!
Finale: The dust settles
After a while, Dongfang Jin fell asleep again, but An Qingran opened her eyes wide, staring at the golden bed curtains. The fear in her eyes slowly surged up again. Just now, An Yanran and Lian Jinrong came to find her together, and they wanted her life!
She clearly remembered that they cut her stomach open and it was so painful. Although she was awake now, she was still frightened. It was too real. She clenched her fists and felt a pain in her palms. She looked in the candlelight and found that her palms had been pierced by their nails and were bleeding. It was very painful.
She covered her belly, secretly hating herself. Why did she keep dreaming about them recently? Was she overthinking? Was she just thinking too much?
Is that so?
Is she a little dazed?
I've had nightmares before, but they've never been this realistic.
It looked as if his soul had been sucked away by them.
She sighed silently.
She, who had always been confident, became confused for the first time. Maybe there was something wrong with her body.
However, the imperial doctors said that there was nothing wrong with his health. Not only that, there was nothing wrong with his health, but it was in very good condition.
She herself didn't find any problems during the examination, but she knew her own body best and she was sure there was something wrong.
Thinking of this, she made a decision.
Soon, he sent his letter and then waited quietly.
These days, due to her health, she has delegated many things and just asked Rendong to help deal with them, and she doesn't do everything herself.
So, she didn't know that Zhong Ling'er had been sent to the palace.
This was decided by the Concubine Dowager and the Emperor Retired.
Dongfang Jin doesn't care about these things at all.
The autumn wind blows.
A chill was blowing, and An Qingran calculated the due date of the child, which was already after the New Year.
She hopes that the coming winter this year will not be too cold.
She doesn't like the cold.
I'm getting more and more afraid of the cold now.
September twenty-sixth.
Xiu Nu has been in the palace for a month.
After the primary election, there are still one hundred and twenty-six people left.
These one hundred and twenty people surprised An Qingran. She had not expected there would be so many.
She remembered some of the things she didn't like, and she eliminated them all.
There are still so many left.
During the primary election, she and Toffee appeared together.
A familiar figure was found in the crowd. It was Zhong Ling'er. She thought that the training she received in the palace in the past month had taken effect. She looked like she had been reborn.
However, she no longer seemed as innocent and lively as she was in Prince Shou's mansion, but was restrained and noble, just like a royal relative.
An Qingran frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. She only felt that Zhong Ling'er was too shrewd and had ulterior motives. Her current appearance was different from what she had seen in Prince Shou's Mansion before, but no matter what appearance she looked like, she instinctively felt uncomfortable looking at her.
But it doesn’t matter.
If she wants to enter the palace, let her do so.
An Qingran and the Concubine Dowager selected again, and only thirty people were left. They were given residences, palace maids, and titles of seventh and sixth rank. The highest ones were Zhong Ling'er and Zhang Yi, the daughter of Censor Zhang, who were given the fifth rank, Zhong Wanrong, and Zhang Ronghua.
After finishing all the work, another half a month passed.
An Qingran was sitting in the front hall handling affairs that day. She leaned on the couch and felt a little tired, so she closed her eyes to rest. But she heard footsteps. After a while, she opened her eyes and saw Zhong Ling'er quietly hanging her hands by her side. Seeing that she woke up, she hurriedly smiled and saluted: "Greetings, Queen..."
"Oh, you're here, is there something?" An Qingran still felt tired and twisted her waist involuntarily. Seeing this, Zhong Ling'er hurried forward to give An Qingran a shoulder massage. An Qingran waved her hands, and Rendong came closer and gently rubbed her shoulders.
Zhong Ling'er said, "My lady, I just got two beautiful paintings and would like to ask you to appreciate them for me."
The palace maid behind him brought up the scroll and slowly unfolded it, revealing a picture of five sons passing the imperial examinations and another one of a hundred butterflies, both of which had excellent meanings.
An Qingran nodded: "Fortunately, this is a painting by Lu Zhuangyuan of the previous dynasty. It is rich and festive."
"My sister is pregnant, and this five-child marriage is just right." Zhong Ling'er said with a smile.
"Really?" An Qingran said calmly, "I think 'divine right' would be more appropriate."
As soon as she said this, Zhong Ling'er's face was filled with horror, and she quickly knelt on the ground: "Sister, please forgive me..."
Yes, An Qingran's children are the prince and princess. If they pass the imperial examination, who will own the country? If she cares about it, she will be guilty of treason.
An Qingran looked at her panic and suddenly smiled: "I know you mean well, I won't think of anything wrong, I'll accept this painting"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ling'er expressed her gratitude and left after saying a few more words.
After An Qingran waited for her to leave, she looked at the painting and said to Rendong, "Put it away."
"Madam, this Zhong Wanrong is just trying to please you. After all, she is still young and doesn't even know the boundaries of family life."
An Qingran smiled and said, "Yes, but it's hard to understand her thoughts. I just hope that her thoughts will always be pure."
"She is only fifteen, how can she be complicated..." Honeysuckle smiled and shook her head, "I never thought that the Concubine Dowager would confer her the title of Fifth Rank."
"I think she is pleasing to the Concubine Dowager. I heard that she sang a little song for her for the whole morning the other day. Her filial piety is amazing, and the Emperor Retired is in a good mood. If she can always make them happy, there is still a place for her in this palace, but..." An Qingran sighed and didn't say anything else.
She didn't know whether Dongfang Jin would always stick to their promise. If he did, she felt that these thirty women were quite pathetic.
She didn't have the energy to think further. Even though he was the emperor, he still felt helpless.
"I think this Zhong Wanrong is a thoughtful person. Your Majesty should not take it lightly."
"What kind of storm can she stir up...what kind of things have I not seen." An Qingran leaned back again, "It's just that I've been getting more and more tired recently. The baby is still four months away from being born. I don't know if I can hold on until the birth. This pregnancy is much more tiring than the last one."
"I don't know when my cousin will arrive. These imperial doctors are so useless. They can't see anything and don't even prescribe some tonics. My queen, you have examined it yourself. I think the reason you are so tired this time may be because of the twins. Two children will naturally make you more tired."
"Maybe. I just hope my cousin can arrive soon. Then I'll feel relieved." As An Qingran spoke, she stroked her belly lovingly. This time it was twins, which she had never expected.
How kind Heaven is to me!
She calculated the days and realized that it had been almost a month since she sent the letter, and her cousin should be arriving soon.
I guess something is holding him back.
An Qingran was so tired that she lay down again. Rendong lowered her footsteps and served her gently.
In just a moment, An Qingran suddenly sat up, a layer of cold sweat on her forehead. Rendong stepped forward in shock: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"I had a nightmare." An Qingran said quietly, "I've been having nightmares lately and haven't been sleeping well."
"I will go to the Imperial Hospital right now..."
"Wait, no need to go, just light some calming incense, I'm fine." An Qingran didn't want them to worry about her, so she attributed all the symptoms to the fact that she was pregnant with twins.
But to be honest, she couldn't convince herself, because as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw An Yanran holding a baby, coming to her bed, and the baby came to claim her life.
As a result, the baby turned into a small skeleton with blood in its eyes, which was very scary.
She still remembered An Yanran smiling proudly and saying that she would soon be like them and would come to accompany them.
All these scenes didn't seem like a nightmare, but more like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
She could even see Honeysuckle packing up the scroll behind the mother and son.
She couldn't keep calm.
If she had only had a nightmare once or twice, it could be explained, but each nightmare was continuous and followed the previous one. She didn't know that humans could dream like this.
Is it really possible that I have been possessed by an evil spirit?
She has always had a clear conscience about An Yanran's death, but after all, she was the one who delivered the baby, and she must have resentment towards herself after giving birth. She might think that she did not try her best.
She couldn't fall asleep anymore, so she had to ask Honeysuckle to accompany her for a walk in the Imperial Garden.
In the Imperial Garden, the autumn flowers are in full bloom. Chrysanthemums of various colors are blooming brightly, and butterflies and bees are flying around, which is very beautiful.
She was sitting in the pavilion, admiring the flowers and trees, and soon she heard a burst of laughter coming from her. Such laughter was seldom heard in the imperial garden. Looking around, she saw a group of graceful women, with colorful clothes fluttering in their wind, moving like willows.
The group was walking and admiring the flowers. Someone noticed An Qingran was here, and they stopped laughing. They immediately came forward in a group to meet An Qingran. An Qingran told them that they didn't need to be polite and let them feel free.
Zhang Ronghua's appearance is indeed more outstanding than others. She is the most beautiful one in the crowd.
Among the newly selected concubines in the harem, she and Zhong Ling'er are the first. Compared with Zhong Ling'er, she is more calm and generous. Censor Zhang is a straightforward person, so his daughter will not be bad either.
An Qingran watched secretly, and saw that everyone really followed her lead. She could not help but nodded slightly, hoping that she would save trouble.
Zhang Ronghua led everyone to retreat and watched the fish and flowers not far away, feeling very happy.
An Qingran sat there, looking at those young figures, and actually felt that she was already old.
Suddenly, there was a commotion among the group of people. Everyone shouted for help. Someone was struggling in the water. An Qingran stood up and walked over there. When she got closer, she found that it was Zhang Ronghua who was the most calm and composed who fell into the water. She had been rescued by many people. Her clothes were thin and transparent. An Qingran asked Rendong to put her cloak on her. Then she looked at the group of busy women and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Ending 2: Fighting [asking for monthly ticket]
"Your Majesty, it was Zhong Wanrong who just said there was a black turtle in the water, and then somehow Zhang Ronghua fell into it..." The one who answered was the concubine named Jin. When she said this, she was a little hesitant, as if she had something to say.
"Tell me, what's going on?" An Qingran looked at Zhong Ling'er, her tone relatively calm and not too harsh.
Zhong Ling'er's clothes were also soaked. She had just gone down to save someone. She thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, it was my fault just now. I saw a flash of golden light in the water and I seemed to cry out. Zhang Ronghua came closer, but the edge of the pool was slippery..."
The others didn't say anything, but some looked disdainful, but no one objected.
Before An Qingran could speak, Zhang Ronghua coughed and sat up, saying delicately, "My lady, it was my carelessness. It has nothing to do with others. I am rude."
An Qingran thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded slightly: "Come here, send Zhang Ronghua back, and ask the imperial physician to come over and take a good look at him."
Several palace maids helped Zhang Ronghua away. The remaining concubines did not dare to move and continued to kneel there. An Qingran's eyes flashed with cunning. She stepped forward and pulled Zhong Wanrong's hand, saying gently: "Get up. You look so scared. It's just a play between sisters. It's not a big deal. Just be careful next time. Speaking of which, you are brave. You dare to go down and save people. You deserve a reward..."
As he spoke, he took off the jade bracelet from his wrist and put it on her wrist.
Zhong Wanrong was somewhat flattered. She stood up timidly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Come here, Zhong Wanrong has done a great job in saving people, but she was also frightened. Help her back to the palace immediately. I will give her a banquet today." An Qingran's eyes swept over the people kneeling on the ground. The expressions on their faces were very complicated, but they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
Finally these people left.
An Qingran looked at their backs and sighed.
Ren Dong whispered, "My Lady, does Zhong Wanrong really want to save Zhang Ronghua?"
"Yes or no, this is all I can do today. Let her think that Xun is a fool, isn't that good enough?" An Qingran said this with profound meaning.
Honeysuckle never understood her metaphors, so she curled her lips and said, "It's a pity about the bracelet. She doesn't look like a trouble-free master. There is a lot of calculation in her eyes. In this way, she is not a smart person, otherwise her intelligence would not be exposed."
"You're right about that." An Qingran held her lower back and walked back slowly. "There must be someone smarter than her among them. I just want to see who is smart. Zhang Ronghua is one of them."
"Zhang Ronghua? How come I didn't see that? How can she be so smart?" Rendong asked in confusion.
An Qingran sighed, reached out and plucked a September chrysanthemum. The red petals were densely woven, and the fiery color seemed to be bidding the final farewell to this summer. Autumn is coming, An Qingran murmured.
Honeysuckle didn't understand what she meant. In any case, Honeysuckle often didn't understand what she said, but that didn't mean she wouldn't obey.
Finally returning to the East Palace, she lay on the couch, feeling tired again.
After sitting for only a while, the concubine Jin asked to see him.
An Qingran saw it.
An Qingran looked at her and smiled: "I've been waiting for you."
Jin Xianshi was stunned for a moment when she heard this: "Empress? Did you know that I was coming?"
"Of course, you obviously have something to say to me. Now that there are no outsiders around, you can say it." An Qingran changed his sitting position, his voice gentle, his eyes full of encouragement.
After hearing this, Concubine Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is indeed wise and intelligent. I think you have already seen through the truth. If I had known this earlier, I would not have needed to come."
"The truth? No, I just saw that you had something to say to me, that's all. Now that you're here, just say it." An Qingran was a little impatient, mainly due to physical reasons.
Seeing this, Jin Xianshi hurriedly said, "I saw something. If I don't tell your majesty, I will feel that I know the truth but don't report it, which will encourage evil. On the other hand, I am afraid that I will get hurt. Just now in the lotus pond, I was right behind her. I was afraid of water and didn't go forward, so I saw it clearly. Zhang Ronghua didn't fall into the water accidentally, but Zhong Wanrong stretched out her foot and tripped her."
"She tripped over him? Didn't she jump into the water to save him?"
"I did go into the water to save him, but I just splashed around in the water and didn't go forward."
An Qingran was thoughtful after hearing this, then waved her hand: "I understand, I am very pleased that you can come and tell me the truth. Honeysuckle, bring me my white jade hairpin." Then she said to Jin Xuanshi, "This thing is not valuable, it is just a little token of my appreciation. I want to thank you for being close to me. This is a great place, please come often in the future. The other things in the East Palace are not so good, but this tea is good."
After saying this, he asked someone to serve him tea.
Concubine Jin drank tea for a while, and seeing that An Qingran looked tired, she quickly said goodbye.
Honeysuckle came forward and asked, "My Lady, is what Concubine Jin said true?"
"Of course it's true. She has no need to, and she doesn't dare to lie to me. But I can't understand why she would do this?" An Qingran sighed. "But why would she do this? They are just in the same boat. How has Zhang Ronghua gotten in her way? These two sisters are really troublesome."
Ren Dong thought for a moment and said, "My Lady, should we bring Zhong Wanrong here?"
"Why should I bring her here?" An Qingran suddenly smiled, touched the bracelet on her other wrist, and smiled even brighter.
"I just said that it was a pity to give the bracelet to her. Why did Your Majesty give it to her? Your Majesty must have known that there was something wrong with her just now, right?"
"Yes, but if this bracelet can work, why not do it? Please help me check Zhang Ronghua's background and see if they have any grudges in private. Just tell me everything."
An Qingran didn't have so much energy to begin with, and now there are so many women around, it's really causing trouble for her.
Two days later, Rendong came back to report the situation. There was nothing serious, but Zhang Ronghua's health had not recovered from the fall into the water.
An Qingran understood a little bit, and smiled: "I heard that the sign of the Jingshifang has been made, and he will visit these concubines in the next few days, right?"
Honeysuckle pursed her lips and said, "Yes, the people over there are very busy. I thought the emperor would really visit those women."
"Maybe." An Qingran said with a smile.
Honeysuckle shook her head: "No way."
"You know Dongfang Jin better than I do, don't you?" An Qingran said with a smile.
"Although I am a little stupid, my eyesight is very good and my mind is not slow either. I can see things clearly." Honeysuckle said proudly.
An Qingran smiled, picked up the fruit and took a bite. It was juicy and sour, and she liked it.
*******
Prince Kang's Palace.
Dongfang Ye was very worried now. He had completed all the tasks smoothly. He didn't know what the result would be. The people in the palace hadn't sent back any news. But he heard that An Qingran was not in good health recently. Was it related to what he had done? He was not sure.
Fortunately, there was good news coming from the mansion recently: An Ranyue is pregnant.
He immediately delivered the good news to the palace.
The emperor didn't care, but the concubine was very happy. After all, no matter who gave birth to the child, they were all her grandchildren.
Shen Zhiyun was sitting in the room. After hearing the news, he sat there in a daze for a while, pulling the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, and then gently put it down: "Come here, give her my favorite jade hairpin... Wait, I will go by myself."
According to the rules, her position is lower than An Ranyue, so it would be too arrogant to send her like this.
Unexpectedly, when she went over, Huang Ying'er was there too, holding Dongfang Yan. The child was running wildly on the floor, and his laughter could be heard from far away.
Seeing her go in, Huang Ying'er had a hint of embarrassment on her face. However, Shen Zhiyun seemed not to notice and said with a smile: "It's really early. You got the good news earlier than me."
Huang Yinger stood up and said, "Greetings, Madam. I am not here early, but I woke up early and Yan'er was making a fuss. I happened to pass by here and heard the maids go to announce the good news, so I came here."
An Ranyue heard this and said, "What's the matter? This isn't even a first-time achievement. Are you afraid someone will snatch it away?"
"Of course this is the first achievement!" Shen Zhiyun smiled and sat down. "I was looking forward to hearing good news from my sister. I was the first to celebrate, but she took the credit. How can I not be anxious?"
She smiled happily, as if she was really happy for An Ranyue.
An Ranyue just leaned there, smiling at them: "You two are late. When I got up early, the princess sent someone to deliver something. Look, it's over there!"
When the two looked at the table, they saw several brocade boxes on it. It seemed that the gifts were not cheap at all.
Shen Zhiyun was speechless. Why was he the last one to know? His maids were too stupid.
After returning, she will definitely deal with them.
But it doesn’t matter. Knowing it a day later won’t hurt anything.
"You are indeed the princess. You are well-informed." Shen Zhiyun smiled. "Now you can exchange experiences. Of course, if you have anything, you can also ask us two. After all, we are also experienced people."
Her words made An Ranyue look ugly. She entered the palace earlier than them, but the good news came only now, which was really annoying. But no matter sooner or later, she also had a child, and her child's status in the palace must be higher than theirs, so everyone is now at the same starting point, and it depends on who has the ability in the future.
An Ranyue smiled when she heard that: "Thank you, I will accept your advice, but the baby is only one month old now, just pay attention to rest. The doctor has already said that I just need to relax. With you two accompanying me, I think it will be difficult for me to be in a bad mood, right?"
"That's true." Shen Zhiyun gritted his teeth and smiled sweetly.

Then she really couldn't remember what kind of person could make her so excited.
When they arrived at the front hall, Rendong finally realized that he was a miracle doctor!
An Qingran called out "Uncle", and then helped the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground up, with joy in her eyes: "Uncle, why did you come just now? Did my letter go the wrong way?"
