"Pin Yu, Ouyang Yulin?" Concubine Xue was slightly stunned, then remembered something and asked, "Madam Zhao, I remember that she seemed to have something wrong with Pin Ning?"

"When I go back to the emperor, Yupin and Ningpin entered the palace in the same batch of talent show. One was the daughter of the General's Mansion, and the other was the queen's cousin. They both came from high schools. When the two were in Chuxiu Palace, they had an argument because Zheng Wanyi from the Moon Palace, and later the queen came forward to calm the matter down."

"I remembered it. The one in Kunyuan Palace was so seriously ill that his Majesty was unhappy and forbidden the three of them."

"Yes, Empress. It was not until the queen became healthier and pleaded with His Majesty that the ban was lifted. But His Majesty only visited Yupin and Ningpin, but Zheng Wanyi had never been flipped by His Majesty."

"Zheng Wanyi..." Concubine Xue smiled, and she was as strange as her peaches and plums, "Interesting."

...

After Xiao Changqi left the palace, Ye Qingyan restored the rules of paying homage to concubines in the harem.

Every day, I watched the concubines pay false greetings, and their expressions were as indifferent as water, as calm as the sea, and they could not stir up any turbulence.

The palace affairs in the harem would also be asked a little, but they just asked about it. Even if they saw the trick, they would pretend that they didn't see it, so that people could not guess what she was thinking.

Concubine Xue picked up the teacup in front of her and opened the lid virtually. Before she could smell the fragrance of tea, she covered it again. She asked Ye Qingyan, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, "Empress, the peony flowers in the imperial garden are very good. In previous years, the palace would hold a peony feast. Inviting the women outside to come to the palace to enjoy the flowers. Are you still preparing this year?"

Ye Qingyan glanced at the teacup in her hand and said, "Don't do it. But in the past, it was all the time for Concubine Xue. This year, you are pregnant with the imperial heir and should not work hard. Then leave this matter to..." After scanning the many concubines, his eyes fell on Ouyang Yulin, "It will be prepared by Concubine Yu and the eunuch supervisor, how about it?"

Ouyang Yulin hurriedly got up from the embroidered bench, moved her lotus steps lightly, and walked to Ye Qingyan to kneel down, "Greeting on the queen, I am stupid and dare not take on this great task."

Ye Qingyan smiled and asked the Xuefei who was sitting at her head, "What does Xuefei mean?"

Concubine Xue replied: "I also think that Sister Yulin can be responsible for this."

Ye Qingyan nodded, then looked at Ouyang Yulin, "Since Concubine Xue is optimistic about you, you should do it first. If you don't understand anything, you can go to Qixiang Palace to discuss with Concubine Xue."

When Ouyang Yulin heard this, she looked at Concubine Xue. Seeing that she was not displeased, she looked at her with a smile on her face, then bowed and replied: "Thank you, the Empress and Concubine Xue's sister, I will do my best."

Ye Qingyan raised his hand and said, "Get up quickly."

"Yes, thank the Queen for the grace." Ouyang Yulin stood up, her pretty face a little confused, as if she didn't understand why she suddenly let herself interfere in the palace affairs.

After another gossip, Ye Qingyan asked the concubines to retreat.

Ye Jingning stayed.

Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, Ye Qingyan said, "Go outside and have a walk. You are pregnant, so it's better to stay outside for more sunbathing."

"Yes, sister of the queen." Ye Jingning looked down at his big belly, and his beautiful eyes were filled with joy that could not be hidden.

Ye Qingyan was also relieved when he saw the expression on her face. He hoped that she could give birth to this child smoothly, not for the sake of the more stable power of the Ye family, or for Xiao Changqi to have a family of concubines. Ye Jingning gave birth to him, but for Ye Jingning to have a support in the harem in the future. Although she did not like Ye Jingning, it was her own cousin in her family, and she did not want her to be lonely.

As for herself, as the queen, she has no offspring. As long as she does not interfere with the government, Xiao Changqi does not want to take her position, and no one can do anything to her. Besides, with her body, there is no need to think too much about it. Maybe she will go to see her father and mother one day.

Chunyu stepped forward to support Ye Qingyan, "Empress is careful at her feet."

Ye Qingyan waved his hand, "It's okay, I feel pretty good today."

He walked out of the palace first.

Ye Jingning followed Ye Qingyan out of the palace gate.

The sun outside the hall is warm and it feels very comfortable to shine on people.

Ye Jingning looked at Ye Qingyan's slender and weak back against the light, and the phoenix-patterned robe on his body, and was stunned for a moment.

If she was the one who married His Majesty back then, then wouldn’t the queen be her? Now she is just a concubine, but to be ugly, she is a concubine. Unless she gave birth to a prince and the prince inherited the throne, she would die in the future and would be buried in the imperial concubine garden, silently and without a name. Unlike the queen, she is with the emperor, and can be named after her history.

After Ye Qingyan walked a distance, he found that Ye Jingning had not followed her. He looked back and said, "What's wrong?"

Ye Jingning came back to his senses with a slight round snow-white face, and was slightly shy. Then he walked closer to Ye Qingyan and asked, "Sister Queen, why did Ouyang Yulin prepare for a flower banquet?"

"I want you to prepare, but your belly is older than Concubine Xue's. How can I take this job? Although Ouyang Yulin is a concubine, she is from General Ouyang's mansion and is the highest-ranking concubine among the concubines in the harem except you and Concubine Xue. No one will have any objection to her."

"But, will Ouyang Yulin take the opportunity to be powerful? She threatens the queen's sister?"

Ye Qingyan smiled and said, "Then let her try it."

Seeing that Ye Qingyan was not caring, Ye Jingning said nothing. Although Ye Qingyan was the queen, she was just an empty stance. She was still sitting steadily in the position of queen. She was all helping her to win over and maintain it in the harem. Otherwise, anyone who was so weak that she would die, and she would not survive until today.

Let’s live well. When the prince in her belly is born... it’s time for you to give way, and her prince must be the legitimate prince!

Ye Qingyan raised his hand to set up a shed and looked at the blue sky. Suddenly, a few birds flew by, free and unbearable. When could she leave this palace? Just like these birds, she looked at the scenery in this world, mountains, rivers, forests, lakes, seas, glaciers and snow fields...

Looking at the birds from afar, she was so confused that she didn't come back to her senses until the birds flew away and could not see any trace.

Chunyu knew what she was looking at and knew what she yearned for. However, this was destined to be a true wish that she could no longer do in this life, but she hoped to realize her next life.

"Grandma, it's time for you to go back and have soup."

"Should you wait a little longer." Ye Qingyan looked beside him, and the look was empty, "Huh? Where is Ning Pin?"

Chunyu said: "When you were distracted just now, Prince Ning had already stepped down."

"Oh." Ye Qingyan looked up and continued to look at the sky.

The spring rain is about to speak but stops.

Ye Qingyan glanced at him and smiled and said, "It's okay if you have anything to say."
