Although there are few concubines in the palace now, Mo Qiyuan has also ordered that no one is allowed to disturb Ye Jinyun's rest at will, so after so many days, Concubine Qi brought Yuan Jia to visit her.
But she didn't expect that the emperor was there too, which made Concubine Qi feel a little uncomfortable.
Thinking that he had only met Yuan Jia a few times since he brought Ye Jinyun back to the palace from the border, but he was in Fengyi Palace with Ye Jinyun and her child every day, Concubine Qi felt even more sad.
But she also knew that she and Ye Jinyun could not compare in the emperor's heart. It was just a pity for the child, who always said that she had not seen her father for a long time.
So she couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards the emperor and Ye Jinyun, and she was even a little unhappy when Ye Jinyun called her sister just now.
Concubine Qi put her thoughts aside and stopped thinking about it. She started to find topics to ask about Ye Jinyun's health.
A moment later, the wet nurse came over holding the twins, a boy and a girl.
Mo Qiyuan could no longer sit still, and hurried forward to take the twin sister from the wet nurse's hands and hold her in his arms to caress her.
Ye Jinyun scolded from the side:
"The Emperor is really something. How can he only love his daughters and not his sons at all? Oh, let me love you for my sake, my poor little one."
After saying that, she seemed to remember something and looked at Concubine Qi with an embarrassed expression.
Tsk, how could I forget that someone else has a wife and children in this room? It seems a bit inappropriate to show off the love between husband and wife and the filial piety of father and son in front of them.
Sure enough, she saw that after seeing Mo Qiyuan and her own actions, Concubine Qi's body stiffened, and her eyes were fixed on Mo Qiyuan, who was now full of his love for her.
But at this moment she heard Xiao Yuanjia ask Concubine Qi:
"Mother, is the emperor holding my younger sister? Was Jia'er also held like this by the emperor when she was a child?"
Sure enough, these words seemed to irritate Concubine Qi.
Although the emperor had held Yuanjia before, he had never looked like this.
So the look in her eyes when she looked at Mo Qiyuan became more and more resentful.
But someone's eyes were full of his lovely little daughter and he didn't notice it at all.
Ye Jinyun was speechless. It was all his fault. He was so anxious to hug his daughter that he even forgot that Concubine Qi was present.
Giving Mo Qiyuan a fierce look in his heart, Ye Jinyun quickly said:
"Jia'er, come quickly, come to mother's place and see your brother."
Little Yuanjia looked at his mother, then at the little brother in Ye Jinyun's arms, and finally, out of curiosity about the little brother, he jumped in front of Ye Jinyun.
"Mother, my brother is so soft and small, just like the little rabbits that Jiaer raises."
Ye Jinyun smiled at her lovingly. Although Yuanjia was the child her husband had with someone else, she was not a mean woman who could not tolerate the child born by another woman.
On the contrary, she felt a little sorry for her, because since Mo Qiyuan only had eyes for her, he no longer loved his eldest daughter as much as before.
Although he still cared about her, in order to avoid seeing Concubine Qi, he rarely visited Yuan Jia. He only met her occasionally at the Empress Dowager's place, or Concubine Qi would take her to the Imperial Study to ask for an audience.
Ye Jinyun also knew this, and was afraid that this would leave some bad childhood memories in the little girl's heart. Ye Jinyun often asked the palace servants to send some things or some stuffed toys she made herself to Yuan Jia, trying to make it up to her in her own way.
This also made Ye Jinyun feel helpless from time to time. She always felt like the mistress who had successfully ascended to power, but because her husband was the emperor, everything seemed reasonable.
Thinking of this, she touched the round bun on Yuanjia's head and said softly:
"Then Jia'er, when you grow up, can you have your little bunny brother become a warrior to protect you? Although Yuan Jia is your siblings' older sister, she's still a girl. Your mother will have your brothers protect you."
Yuanjia nodded happily: "Okay, okay, Yuanjia likes to listen to the story that Nanny tells the most, the story about the little rabbit turning into a warrior to help the princess defeat the big bad wolf."
As expected, every little girl has this complex of being protected by a knight since childhood, and ancient times were no exception.
It’s just Concubine Qi…
Ye Jinyun looked up at Concubine Qi and saw that she was no longer staring at Mo Qiyuan. Instead, she was looking at him talking to Yuan Jia, her eyes a little absent-minded.
Seeing that he was looking at her, she quickly came to her senses and gave a forced smile.
Seeing this, Ye Jinyun also smiled at her friendlyly without saying anything.
Forget it. She couldn't understand why nothing she did would help. After all, she didn't owe her mother and daughter anything.
Since ancient times, emperors have had three palaces and six courtyards. Even if there is no one for herself, there are always others. She has tried her best to make up for it with her children. Could it be that she has to give up her husband as well?
Although she didn't care who Mo Qiyuan favored before, now that she and he have a child, she naturally doesn't want to push him to others. It is very rare for her to persuade him not to neglect Yuan Jia, so how can she let him care about the physical and mental condition of other women?
Ye Jinyun no longer cared about what Concubine Qi would think. She pulled Yuan Jia aside and teased her for a while.
From that day on, Concubine Qi would often bring Yuanjia to Ye Jinyun's palace to talk.
Although she said that Yuanjia missed her younger siblings, Ye Jinyun knew that she wanted her daughter to have the opportunity to see Mo Qiyuan more often and remind him that he still had a daughter.
But every time they came, it seemed to be unlucky. Either Mo Qiyuan was busy in the previous dynasty and not in her palace, or they came and happened to meet him holding his little daughter and calling her "Father's little cotton-padded jacket".
Not only did it fail to enhance the father-daughter relationship between Mo Qiyuan and Yuanjia, but it made Concubine Qi feel even more resentful.
Seeing Concubine Qi like this, Ye Jinyun didn't know what to say. She could only ask Mo Qiyuan not to love his daughter so much in front of Concubine Qi in the future, and to love his other children as well.
But Mo Qiyuan didn't care and just said, "Our daughter is most like you, so she is the one I love the most."
This made Ye Jinyun shake her head repeatedly in a disgusting way, and at the same time, she had a doubt in her mind.
When it comes to the question of who the child looks like, her eldest son looks like a combination of herself and Mo Qiyuan.
The twin boy's facial features are most like Mo Qiyuan, while the daughter's are more like herself, but she also inherited some of Mo Qiyuan's advantages in facial features.
But as for Yuanjia, Ye Jinyun couldn't see how she looked like Mo Qiyuan.
Although she looks more like Concubine Qi, she doesn't really resemble Mo Qiyuan at all.
If it wasn't said that she was Mo Qiyuan's daughter, no one would have connected the two of them as father and daughter after seeing her.
But Ye Jinyun also knew that heredity was a difficult thing to say. Maybe Yuanjia just didn't inherit anything from Mo Qiyuan.
After all, in previous lives, there are often people who don’t look like their parents, but look like their grandparents, or their grandparents.
There are also many examples where both parents have double eyelids but the child has single eyelids.
So she just wondered about it for a moment and then put it behind her.
No one can be so bold as to cuckold the emperor.
Even if I have the desire, I don't have the courage to do it.
