As soon as the emperor said this, Zhuang Yuyan turned her head to look at Qian Guiren who was kneeling on the ground, playing with a walnut with a smile on her face. She was not stupid enough to speak at this time.

Su Xiuyi couldn't help it at this moment, and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Qian Guiren offended Concubine Rou and is now being punished to kneel."

"Since it has nothing to do with you, just sit down." Feng Jin said lightly, stretched out his hand to grab the walnut from Zhuang Yuyan's hand, and broke the shell with a force. When Zhuang Yuyan reached out to take it, he immediately took out the walnut kernel and threw it into his mouth, which earned a glance from Zhuang Yuyan.

Concubine Rou smiled at Su Xiuyi, who looked embarrassed, and stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, it is Concubine Qian who is kneeling. This morning, I met Concubine Qian on the road, and she was chatting with the palace maids about other concubines. Although I am not a virtuous person, I could not bear to see Concubine Qian talking about other sisters, so I punished her to kneel here for two hours to let her know where she was wrong."

Without asking what Noble Qian said, Feng Jin frowned slightly and glanced at Concubine Rou and Noble Qian, and said impatiently: "I didn't know Noble Qian had so many opinions about my other concubines. I wonder what they did wrong?"

When Lady Qian heard this, she shuddered slightly, kowtowed and said, "I have no such intention. Please understand, Your Majesty."

"Then may I ask why the people in the harem are so mysterious and hard to tell?" Concubine Rou touched the corner of her mouth with her hand, but looked at the emperor from the corner of her eyes. Seeing that the emperor had no expression on his face, she asked again, "And why Concubine Zhao has the emperor's heart all to herself? Does a little noble like you need to tell the emperor what to do in the harem?"

Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows, his expression slightly changed, he looked down at the woman kneeling on the ground, this woman had a beautiful face and a face that made him a little interested, but now looking at her, compared with other women, she was not that special: "Noble Qian, do you have a grudge against me?"

"I dare not!" Hearing this, Qian Guiren's face turned pale, "My sincerity to the emperor is evident to all." She entered the palace alone, waiting for a man's arrival in this lonely palace day after day. Is this the ending she was waiting for?

She thought the emperor would always be sincere to her, but now she realized that in the eyes of the emperor, she was no different from other women. He looked at her as if he was looking at a lifeless dead object, pampering her when he remembered her, and throwing her aside when he forgot.

Seeing that Concubine Qian looked absent-minded, Zhuang Yuyan could not help but wonder in surprise, could it be that Concubine Qian had fallen in love with the Emperor? She recalled that when Concubine Qian first entered the palace, she seemed to have no good feelings towards the harem. If she had no good feelings towards the harem, why would she throw away her true heart so easily?

There are so many women in the harem, but there is only one emperor. How can she be so confident that she can gain the emperor's trust? No one present, whether it is Concubine Shugui, Concubine Rou or her, has such confidence.

Emperors are often fickle and heartless. It is hard to tell whether it is sad or pitiful that a crystal-like person like Qian Guiren gave her feelings so easily.

Suddenly, she felt warmth in her palm. When she came to her senses, she saw the emperor put the walnut kernel in her hand, but his eyes were looking elsewhere. It seemed as if he was telling her, I just threw it to you casually, it’s up to you to eat it or not.

All men in the world are weird.

Zhuang Yuyan pinched a piece of walnut and put it in her mouth. The fragrance of walnut instantly filled her mouth. She smiled. She didn't care about other people. Living a good life in the harem was her ability.

Seeing Zhuang Yuyan eat the walnuts obediently, Feng Jin looked at Qian Guiren and said, "I originally thought you were a sensible and polite person, but now I think you are just so-so."

But that's it?!

These words were enough to wipe out everything a woman in the harem had. Concubine Qian raised her head without suffocating, her beautiful eyes wide open, "Is this how the emperor sees me?" She choked as she spoke, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Zhuang Yuyan had seen many women crying, and Qian Guiren cried the most beautifully among all the women. She lowered her eyelids and didn't want to look at Qian Guiren's pale face. She originally just came out to relax, but she didn't expect to see such a lively scene.

Concubine Rou looked at Concubine Qian's expression and smiled disdainfully. Who was she putting on a show for? No matter how pitifully she cried, it would not be good in the eyes of the emperor. She had spent a lot of time serving the emperor, and she knew how cold the emperor's heart was.

"Since Concubine Rou asked you to kneel, you should kneel well," Feng Jin stopped looking at Concubine Qian and said rather uninterestedly, "Concubine Zhao is more senior than you, and you are being disrespectful. You should kneel for two more hours."

After saying that, he looked at the sky and turned to Zhuang Yuyan and said, "It's almost noon now. Don't miss your lunch. I have something else to do in the afternoon. I will come to have dinner with you in the evening. You should have a good rest after lunch."

Zhuang Yuyan nodded and said with a smile, "I'll wait for you tonight."

Feng Jin nodded, reached out and touched Zhuang Yuyan's head before turning around and leaving.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off." Seeing the emperor leave, Concubine Shugui stood up straight and looked at Zhuang Yuyan with a smile, "The emperor really cares about Concubine Zhao."

Zhuang Yuyan smiled back, "The Emperor cares about all the sisters."

After hearing this, Concubine Shugui just sneered and left with Su Xiuyi.

After Concubine Shugui left, Concubine Rou raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhuang Yuyan, "Concubine Zhao is really good at tricks."

Zhuang Yuyan just smiled back and said, "It's almost noon, I'll take my leave now."

"You can go back. The emperor specifically instructed you not to delay lunch. I dare not keep you." Concubine Rou waved her hand, not wanting to say more to Zhuang Yuyan.

After everyone left, Concubine Rou walked out of the pavilion, squatted in front of Concubine Qian, stretched out her hand to lift her chin, and said sarcastically: "Did you see that? In the eyes of the emperor, you are nothing. In the future, don't act like you are the only one sober while everyone else is drunk and annoy others."

"What are you so proud of? In the eyes of the emperor, you are not as good as Concubine Zhao." Qian Guiren waved away Concubine Rou's hand, "Don't compare me with you."

"Of course I won't compare myself with a little noble like you," Concubine Rou stood up with a smile, her eyes brighter than ever before, "And I won't compare myself with Concubine Zhao either. You think you know better than others, but in fact you are just a joke in the eyes of others."

After Feng Jin returned to her palace, she looked at the lunch that was served and suddenly said to Gao Dezhong behind her: "I heard that women may become sleepy after they are pregnant. Go to Xihe Palace and tell them that they don't have to wait for me tonight. If you feel sleepy, just go to bed and sleep. Don't hurt your body."

Gao Dezhong bowed and said, "Yes." Then he hurried to Xihe Palace. As he walked, he thought that the child in Concubine Zhao's belly was a son because of his mother's status. Thinking about the treatment of the previous princes and pregnant concubines, he shook his head. It was really frustrating to compare oneself with others.

In Jingyang Palace, the Queen sat at the head of the table, listening to the palace maids reporting what happened in the Yu Garden. After listening, she said calmly, "Don't worry about these trivial matters. Just make sure you don't have any conflicts with the people in Xihe Palace. Leave now."

The maid retreated as she was told, and the queen sighed. Now she knew in her heart that the emperor would not let her have a prince, and the Zhao family was now in danger. The only thing she could do now was to secure the position of queen. And if she wanted to secure this position, she could not make any mistakes, so she could not have any other thoughts, and she had to protect the child in Zhuang Yuyan's belly.

The way the emperor looked at Zhuang Weiyan...

After sighing once more, the queen said, "Come here, send the Medical Heart Biography that I have to Xihe Palace. There are some things in it that may be beneficial to the unborn baby. Let the servants in Xihe Palace take a look at it."

Once you have made up your mind, you must do it thoroughly.
