Hearing what Ulanara said, Nian was delighted and said quickly, "Thank you for your hard work in taking care of all the affairs in the mansion. Since you still have a lot of things to do, Lan'er will not waste your time."
Having said that, Nian couldn't wait to pull Yinzhen away.
After watching them being carried away, Ulanara withdrew her gaze and no longer concealed her disappointment. She wished that Yinzhen would look at her or say a word to her before leaving, but all this was just wishful thinking.
"Fujin, why don't you go to the concubine? She went to see the Fourth Master, and it must be more than just drinking plum soup," the maidservant beside Ulanara spoke up for her master, angrily.
Ulanara raised the corner of her lips. With what she just said, no matter how many plans Nian had in mind, none of them would succeed. Nian didn't see it just now, but she saw that when Yinzhen heard about Jiang Ranli, his eyes instantly sank.
"Okay, stop talking. The ninth prince's concubine has given birth to a child, and the full moon banquet will be held soon. Let's prepare the gifts in advance." After saying that, Ulanara took a deep look at the wall and turned to leave.
Imperial Palace.
The Empress Dowager and Concubine Yi were furious when they heard that Yinzhen had entered the delivery room, but before they could get angry, the eunuch brought the latest news.
"What did you say? Did An Jia give birth to twins or two little princes?"
The facial features of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yi were magnified. They looked at the young eunuch, constantly confirming whether the news he brought back was true.
"In reply to the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yi, the news I brought back is absolutely true. The concubine has given birth to two little princes, and both mother and children are safe."
The young eunuch said it over and over again with great joy. He served beside the empress dowager and often saw Jiang Ranli. His status was not high and no master in the palace had ever looked at him directly. Only Jiang Ranli often smiled at him and greeted him. Moreover, just after Jiang Ranli successfully gave birth to a child, Yinzhen rewarded everyone in the mansion, and even he received a very generous red envelope.
Over the past few months, Jiang Ranli had visited the palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager whenever she had time, and had chatted with her, telling her jokes and stories. As a result, the Empress Dowager liked her more and more. When she heard that she had safely given birth to twins, she immediately generously rewarded everyone in the palace.
When Emperor Kangxi received the news, his usually serious face immediately filled with smiles. He said several good words in a row, and then immediately issued an order to reward Jiang Ranli handsomely.
When the princes heard the news, their faces changed. Their wives and concubines had given birth to children before, but they had never seen Emperor Kangxi reward them so happily. Even the empress dowager praised Jiang Ranli and rewarded the harem generously. Even the former crown princess had never had such honor and favor, but Jiang Ranli got it.
If she was Yinzhen's legitimate wife, everyone would be surprised, but not as shocked as they are now. However, she was only a concubine, not even a side wife. How could she receive such great favor from Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager?
Jiang Ranli looked at her twins while listening to the Tenth Prince and Abahai talking about the rumors outside.
"Li'er, don't you think those people are going too far? They don't have the ability to gain the attention of the Emperor Father and the Empress Dowager, yet they are making up stories about you, saying that you are good at flattery. I'm so mad at you. By the way, some people also say that you are just a concubine and don't deserve such an honor. It really makes me mad. Next time, I'll beat them up every time I see them... Hey, Abahai, why are you glaring at me?" The Tenth Prince was feeling ventive when he said this, but when he saw Abahai glaring at him, he asked in confusion.
