The death of Concubine Li did not cause any waves in the harem.
In private, the concubines in the harem all said that Concubine Li was out of her mind and that was why she attacked Concubine Ning, who was in the emperor's favor.
Only Concubine Shu, who was still under house arrest in Jianing Palace, breathed a sigh of relief. It was really great that the matter could be settled by Concubine Li.
However, Concubine Shu did not expect that Concubine Li would even sacrifice her own life to protect that person.
Concubine Zhuang had been Qin Yanning's mahjong partner for a while, and a bond had developed between them. Concubine Zhuang hinted at Qin Yanning, saying that even with Concubine Li's death, there were still many people in and outside the palace who wanted to harm her and her unborn child.
Qin Yanning knew that Concubine Zhuang was doing this for his own good, so he thanked her sincerely.
However, Concubine Zhuang also knew that she was worrying too much. Given how carefully Helian Jue protected Qin Yanning, no one was likely capable of harming her.
Time flies, and soon it is June.
The reconstruction of Tingyuxuan is in full swing, and the flowers in the imperial garden are in full bloom. The new clothes customized by the Shangyi Bureau for Qin Yanning and his two children are almost filling up the Ganning Palace.
The Queen Mother had already given orders that duplicate quantities of all kinds of clothing be prepared for both boys and girls.
Because she was pregnant with twins, Qin Yanning's belly was already bigger than that of an ordinary woman at five or six months before she was four months pregnant.
Helian Jue felt a pang of heartache every time he saw Qin Yanning's belly.
Although he hoped to have as many children as possible, if he knew that pregnancy would make Ning'er so tired, he would rather she only have one child.
Fortunately, Qin Yanning did not suffer from morning sickness when she was pregnant with this child, and the imperial physicians prepared many food supplements to strengthen the stomach and stop vomiting, but they were of no use.
As soon as June arrived, Qin Yanning's appetite improved a lot. However, because she had eaten "Chu Palace Waist" in advance, although she ate a lot every day, Qin Yanning did not gain weight.
This made Helian Jue worried for a long time. He was always worried that all the nutrients would be snatched away by the two little guys.
Fortunately, the imperial physician took Qin Yanning's pulse every day and said that his pulse was stable and he was in good health.
Only then did Helian Jue feel relieved.
On the last day of June, Qin Yanning finally got his wish and met Xu Cui and sister-in-law Zhou Yun.
Since Qin Yanning now lives in Ganning Palace, and the inner hall is the emperor's residence, the meeting place is set up in the side hall of Ganning Palace.
It was the first time for Xu Cui and Zhou Yun to enter the palace. Looking at the magnificent side hall of Ganning Palace, both of them felt a little cramped.
Fortunately, Qin Yanning arrived quickly, which relieved the two people's helplessness.
Seeing her daughter again after several months, Xu Cui almost couldn't recognize her. Is this fairy-like woman really her daughter?
Perhaps it was the royal feng shui that was good for her, and the fact that Qin Yanning was pregnant gave her a touch of gentleness.
Xu Cui felt that her daughter became even more beautiful after entering the palace than when she was at home.
Seeing Xu Cui staring blankly, Qin Yanning stepped forward, held her hand, and said, "Mom, you don't dare to recognize me?"
Xu Cui then laughed and said that she was confused just now.
Qin Yanning was very happy to see Xu Cui and her elder sister-in-law again, especially since Zhou Yun was also pregnant. Soon the Qin family would have another child and she would become an aunt again. Qin Yanning was even more happy for her family.
Looking at Qin Yanning's bulging belly, Xu Cui was filled with emotion for a moment.
She was originally worried that her daughter would be favored by His Majesty, who had been childless for a long time. Although she would be favored for a while, she would still suffer in the future because of not having children.
But who knew that her Ning'er was such a lucky girl? Not long after entering the palace, she was diagnosed with twins. I heard that His Majesty and the Queen Mother doted on Ning'er to the heavens.
Thinking of this, Xu Cui couldn't help but tear up.
In her heart, Qin Yanning was still a child, but she didn't expect that she was about to become a mother.
Everyone was jealous of the emperor's favor, but behind the glamour, her Ning'er was nearly burned to death.
Seeing that Xu Cui was about to cry, Qin Yanning quickly found a topic to interrupt her thoughts.
"Mom, when will my sister-in-law give birth to this baby?"
Thinking of her pregnant daughter-in-law and then looking at Qin Yanning who is now safe and sound, Xu Cui finally stopped wanting to cry.
She looked at Qin Yanning and smiled, "The doctor estimated it would be November, around the same time as yours."
Qin Yanning laughed: "Then our family will have double happiness this winter."
In the original owner's previous life, Zhou Yun was not pregnant. I think at that time, their family was busy trying to save Qin Yanning who was favored by Wan Bao, so they had no time to think about having a baby.
Later, the eldest and second brothers were framed by Wanbao and were first imprisoned and then had their hands and feet cut off. There was no trace of the child in Zhou Yun's belly.
This life is different. Qin Yanning was taken into the palace by Helian Jue, and her family was arranged to live in a big house. There was no need to worry about her affairs, and the child would come naturally.
Hearing Qin Yanning's words about double happiness, Zhou Yun shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, you're wrong. This winter, our family has triple happiness."
Three joys? Qin Yanning glanced at Xu Cui calmly after hearing this.
No way? Her mother wouldn't be in her forties and would be an elderly mother.
Seeing Qin Yanning's eyes, Xu Cui knew that her daughter had misunderstood, and she immediately spoke with a feeling of being at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"After the New Year, your second brother will also get married."
The second brother was getting married. Qin Yanning's eyes lit up and he asked, "Whose girl is this? Do I know her?"
Xu Cui told the story slowly and leisurely.
It turned out that since the Wan Mansion's private soldiers were taken over by the Beijing Suburban Weapons Camp, the Qin family no longer had to guard against any small moves by the Wan Mansion.
After some discussion, the whole family moved to Helian Jueci's farm. They were good at farming and they felt at ease only when they had land to farm.
