Geng Youran sat up, picked up her teacup, and took a sip:
"I just don't understand, why would someone act like a jealous person all the time for a man? Is it really necessary?"
Qianxue held the tray with both hands, letting them hang naturally, and said with a smile:
"Princess, that's because you've never been out of favor and don't know what it's like to be out of favor, that's why you say that."
After saying that, Qianxue left, while Geng Youran pondered what Qianxue had said.
For the next three days, Yinzhen stayed overnight at Yunhui's place. Some people in the mansion were dissatisfied, and various voices gradually spread, some unpleasant and some even more unpleasant.
Yunhui, on the other hand, seems to have learned its lesson and has been behaving itself ever since.
Apart from paying his respects to the Fujin every morning, he spent the rest of his time at his residence.
"Princess, what method did Princess Yun use to make our master go away for several days in a row?"
That day, Qianxue was applying milk to Geng Youran's face as he lay down.
While applying a face mask, she couldn't help but gossip.
"It doesn't matter what method she used, as long as it works, it's a good method."
"Princess, aren't you worried at all?"
Geng Youran's expression remained unchanged as she slowly spoke with her eyes closed:
"Do you think using your looks to please someone can last?"
Geng Youran's words hit the nail on the head.
Although Yunhui looks like Song Gege and is very docile towards Yinzhen, she does seem to have the right to be favored.
It was precisely because of these points that Ulanara allowed Yunhui to enter the mansion while concealing her identity.
However, based solely on appearance, one would not have a long-term chance of staying by Yinzhen's side.
Compared to Yunhui, Geng Youran and Niohuru Wanru, although not the most beautiful, each have their own unique characteristics.
Not to mention that both of them had given birth to princes, Niohuru Wanru's quick wit and Geng Youran's excellent cooking skills were enough to make Yinzhen take a second look at them.
Moreover, it wasn't just a few glances.
As for the two concubines, Li Jingshu had lost interest in vying for the emperor's favor, and because of Hongshi, Yinzhen would not mistreat her.
Consort Nian was not only exceptionally beautiful, but her family background was also far superior to that of others. Even though she was prone to jealousy, Yinzhen was willing to spoil her.
Conversely, what does Yunhui have to offer to compete with others?
This is exactly what Yunhui is worried about.
Although Yinzhen has been staying at her place for the past few days, her body has not fully recovered and it will take some time before she can conceive.
Before that, she had to find a way to get Yinzhen to stay at her place a few more times, but it would be very difficult for her to do it on her own.
"Sister, please help your younger sister."
“Little sister, look at what you’re saying. You’re my little sister. Even though we don’t have the same mother, we’re still sisters.”
The Fujin had long anticipated that Yunhui would need her help, so she had someone prepare something in advance.
"Sister, what's this?"
"This is a contraceptive prescription."
Yunhui's expression changed upon hearing this.
"Sister, you!"
"Sister, please calm down and listen to me."
The princess then told Yunhui about the wonders of the prescription.
Although it's a contraceptive formula, it doesn't harm the body and even has some beauty-enhancing effects.
"Sister, although using your beauty to please someone is not a long-term solution, if you can use this time to gain a place in the prince's heart, then you will have hope for the future."
After hearing these words, Yunhui was indeed somewhat shaken.
Currently, she spends the least amount of time with the prince in the manor. Even if she has a child, it's highly likely she won't be able to keep it by his side.
Instead, she might as well use this time to let the prince notice her more. If he could promote her to the position of concubine in the future, that would be a completely different story.
After thinking it through, Yunhui happily took the prescription from the Fujin and went back, not noticing the faint smile on the Fujin's lips.
Perhaps it was because Yinzhen himself felt that he could not have exclusive favor, after favoring Yunhui for many days, he went to someone else's courtyard for the first time, starting with Geng Youran's.
"Sir, what brings you here?"
When Yinzhen arrived, Geng Youran was having dinner.
"What, did I arrive at the wrong time?"
No, no, no.
Geng Youran wouldn't dare to have such thoughts; she simply hadn't expected Yinzhen to come to her place. She thought Yinzhen would still be visiting Yun Gege tonight.
"Has the master ever used it?"
"Master just returned from Changchun Garden and hasn't had time yet."
"If you don't mind, my lord, I'll have Qianxue bring in another set of bowls and chopsticks."
"Um."
Yinzhen nodded wearily.
We started eating only after washing our hands.
Yinzhen rarely spoke while eating, so the two quickly finished their relatively harmonious dinner.
Geng Youran asked Qianxue to bring out the 'Artemisia essential oil' that she and Qianxue had refined some time ago.
"My lord, this is an essential oil that Qianxue and I tried to refine. It's made from mugwort. Massaging with it can soothe your mind and help you sleep better."
Yinzhen did not refuse. After washing up, he lay on the bed and had Geng Youran massage several acupoints on his head.
The fragrance of mugwort really soothed Yinzhen's mind.
"You seem to have plenty of free time, yet you still manage to make something like this. It must have taken a lot of thought."
"If Your Highness can sleep well, I'm willing to be tired no matter how tired I am."
"I like hearing that."
Yinzhen suddenly felt that coming to Geng Youran's place was the right decision; there was no tense atmosphere, only peace and relaxation.
Not long after, Yinzhen fell asleep.
