"Good, why are you sighing?" A familiar bass sounded into Yao Jiaxin's ears.

Suddenly, a big dragon face of His Majesty the Fourth Master appeared in front of him!

Yao Jiaxin was so scared that she almost jumped up, "When did the emperor come in?" - Why didn't there even sounds of footsteps? You are a ghost!

Yinzhen smiled and said, "I have been in for a while. I saw you holding your cheek and sighing, but have you encountered trouble?"

Yao Jiaxin hurriedly saw the gift of greetings, and brought another cup of Longjing Fengsi His Majesty, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just a little family chore in my family, I can solve it."

Although the Fourth Master is very good at using his master, she can't bother with the quietness of his master for the sake of the little things that her sister's in-laws' family.

Yinzhen let out a "hmm" sound, scraped the foam, and quietly savored the tea.

Wang Yicheng will report Yao Jiaxin’s affairs, no matter how big or small, especially when it comes to Yao Jiaxin.

Therefore, Yinzhen knew the causes and consequences.

It was also a coincidence that on the way, Yinzhen saw the beautiful spring scenery and came on foot. Finally, he heard the conversation between the two Yao Jia sisters in the water pavilion by the lake.

Yinzhen was not a person who liked to listen to the corners, but he was just talking about Tian'er, so he couldn't help but stop and listen to a few more words.

———

Half an hour ago, the fourth wife of the Yao family and Liuniang left Bitong Academy with rewards. They were extremely tired of wearing flower pot-sole shoes, so they rested in the water pavilion.

Si Niang Le Yi originally thought of coming out of the palace gate and slowly scolding this incompetent sister, but unfortunately she couldn't help it.

"The Empress said that you want to summon your mother-in-law who is looking for trouble to come to the palace to talk. This is to criticize you and support you! You are so good! You actually reject the Empress's kindness!" Si Niang was so angry that she couldn't know what to say.

Liu Niang sighed, "Sister Four, I know that you and the Empress grew up together since childhood, and are no different from the legitimate sisters. You dare to say anything in front of the Empress. But—"

Liu Niang shook her head, "This is a family matter in Beizi's mansion after all. I use the power of the empress to pretend to be a tiger to suppress Taifu Jin. I am worried that Beizi will be unhappy."

Si Niang said angrily: "Taifujin is not Beizi's biological mother!"

Liu Niang said quietly: "Filial piety is the first priority for all virtues. Even if there are elders, I will tolerate it. To put it bluntly, even if I have a body like Taifu Jin, how many years can I endure it? Three or five years? No matter how many years, I will never have to endure it for thirteen years, right?"

Si Niang Le Yi understood it at first, but the sentence that followed was a little confused, "What's the thirteen years?"

Liu Niang Le Yun had a heartache expression on her face, "The Empress entered the palace at the age of fifteen, and she was just a concubine. Later, although the emperor ascended the throne, the Empress was only granted the noble. It was not until the third year of Yongzheng that the Empress was twenty-eight years old that she had survived and was granted a concubine. Compared to the suffering of the Empress for the past thirteen years, my life was nothing." - The Empress was a kind name for the concubine princess.

Si Niang was stunned when she heard this, "It was indeed not easy for the Empress in the early years, but now it is a blessing and joy."

Liu Niang smiled bitterly: "Is it really a blessing to be over and over?"

Si Niang was confused again: "What do you mean? The Niang is now a noble concubine, taking charge of the things in the six palaces, and there are three princes under her knees! She is still deeply favored by the emperor, and there will be only a good life to enjoy happiness in the future!"

At this moment, His Majesty, the Fourth Master who was eavesdropping outside the water pavilion, nodded secretly.

Sixth Niang Le Yun smiled bitterly: "The Empress is in her thirties and she still has to give birth to the prince. You have seen the Empress look just now. She has been raising it for almost a year, but she is still so haggard and thin. It can be seen how dangerous it is for the Empress to give birth to the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince."

Si Niang looked pityful, "It is indeed hard for a woman to have a child, especially at the age of the Empress."

Liu Niang sighed and said, "Isn't the Empress who has given birth to a second child like this to maintain her status and favor? The position of the Empress's imperial concubine can be said to be a fight for her life."

Si Niang said, "I know all of these, but with these three princes, the Queen Mother has gained a foothold in the palace, which is worth it."

Liu Niang shook her head again: "We have seen it just now. Although the Empress is well maintained, she is not young after all. Last year's talent show, there were many newcomers, including the Empress Dun Concubine, who was only fourteen or five years old and I heard that she has a very outstanding appearance."

Si Niang smiled and said, "The concubine and the imperial concubine are still far from each other. You don't have to worry about it."

Liu Niang sighed: "How can I not worry? The Empress has been struggling for thirteen years before she was granted a concubine, and the Empress Dun was granted a concubine only three months after entering the palace."

After hearing Liu Niang's comparison, Si Niang suddenly became a little uneasy, "Are you worried that the imperial concubine will fall out of favor?"

"We can't help the Empress in the palace. What we can do is not just not cause trouble for the Empress, don't make undesirable things, and discredit the Empress.

Liu Niang continued to say earnestly: "The Yao family does not have outstanding uncles and brothers, but fortunately they are all diligent and have no playboys. The daughters of the Yao family have to have a good life to take care of their husbands and children, serve their elders, and at least have a reputation of virtuous and filial piety. Only in this way can others say that the daughters of the Yao family are well-educated and can also be of some help to the reputation of the Empress."

Si Niang was stunned when she heard this, "Little Sister, I always thought you were simple and cowardly before, but I didn't expect..."

Liu Niang smiled, "Sister Four, it's not that she doesn't understand human affairs. She just hasn't seen any world before. Since she sent Madam Qin to teach etiquette and talked about a lot of things inside and outside the palace, I can't help but worry more about the Madam's situation. The Madam has come to this day entirely with the emperor's favor. The Madam must be worried about her declining nature, so she is not a suitable age for childbirth, but she still has to give birth one after another."

"The Empress is a very lucky person. She gave birth to three princes twice. But—" Liu Niang frowned, "The Empress's status as a concubine is still not stable enough. First, our Yao family is just a small family and can't help the Empress at all. At most, it's just not to drag her back. Second, there are many new people in the palace, and there is no good person or a thousand days of red."

Si Niang Le Yi rubbed her temples with a headache, "I was nervous when you said this. Ruo really told you that, Ruo Niang lost his favor..."

Yinzhen became more and more angry when he heard this. The sisters of the Yao family were all crows! Could I be the kind of person who is flirting with the new and tired of the old?

Liu Niang said again: "What I said just now is to think in the worst direction. If I think in the better direction, the empress can be favored at the age of twenty-eight, which shows that it is not just about appearance. The imperial concubine must have benefits that others do not have, so she can get the favor of the emperor."

Si Niang smiled and nodded: "That's right! The Queen Mother was very careful and kind when she was in the boudoir! She took care of Wen Zhuo, and Wen Li was devoted to the Madam."

"Sister Four, please forgive me for saying something more. Although your mother-in-law has given you a lot of embarrassment in the early years, now she has bowed her head. You have also been too much done. Otherwise, outsiders would be muttered by others, and the reputation of the Yao family may even hinder the Empress's reputation." Liu Niang comforted her softly.

Si Niang Le Yun's face was slightly swelling, "I didn't do too much..." At most, she just ignored her.

"Okay, OK, I understand!" Si Niang sighed, "A daughter-in-law, she should be a cow and a horse for her mother-in-law! No complaints are allowed!"

Liu Niang sighed and said, "This is also impossible. Didn't the imperial concubine be escorted to the empress dowager? I'm afraid I'll have to eat some scrubs."

Si Niang also sighed with Liu Niang, "The more wealthy the wife, the less it is!" As she said that, Si Niang looked at Liu Niang's still tender little face, "Then are you just enduring the Taifu Jin's so-called meditation?"

Liu Niang's cheeks flushed, "I don't think I have to hold it all the time. My Yuexin... has been seven or eight days late, and it is probably--"

Si Niang was overjoyed, "Do you have a body?"

"Shh!" Liu Niang hurriedly covered Si Niang's mouth, "I'm not sure now. Sister Fourth, don't tell me. What if the child is scared away, what's the best?"

Hearing this, Yinzhen did not continue to listen to the corner of the wall and quickly walked towards Bitong Academy.
