Chapter 153 Yi Ning is pregnant
That day, Xia Dongchun and Ye Lanyi competed, and Ye Lanyi was slightly better. Xia Dongchun also looked at this woman with admiration.
He also instructed the manager of Baijun Garden to treat Ye Lanyi well.
Huimin also gave her a lot of rewards. Ye Lanyi originally refused, but when Huimin said that palace maids could leave the palace at the age of 25, and she thought these would be useful in the future, she accepted them.
Ye Lanyi had a good impression of the virtuous concubine and the imperial concubine, especially Xia Dongchun, whom Ye Lanyi felt was quite compatible with her temperament.
Since Xia Dongchun couldn't take her horse away, she had to leave it in the Old Summer Palace. Xia Dongchun made an agreement with Ye Lanyi that Ye Lanyi would take care of the horse on weekdays.
After Huimin finished riding that day, she talked to An Lingrong about the scene that day. An Lingrong admired Xia Dongchun's heroic demeanor.
And as for Ye Lanyi, after hearing what Huimin said, An Lingrong felt a little envious.
"This horse trainer lives a carefree life, but we..."
Seeing that An Lingrong was getting depressed, Huimin quickly changed the subject.
"You are now pregnant. According to the rules, your mother can enter the palace to accompany you when you are eight months pregnant. It is time for Madam An to enter the palace as well. I will ask my family to arrange for someone to escort Madam An. You don't have to worry."
When it comes to her mother, An Lingrong's attention is quickly drawn.
"Yes, mother is coming."
An Lingrong also smiled.
An Lingrong thought about the month of pregnancy and suddenly thought of someone, so she said to Huimin:
"Sister Min, I remember Concubine Qi mentioned several times that the Third Prince's daughter is pregnant and is about to give birth."
Huimin also knew about this.
During the days in the Old Summer Palace, Huimin often heard Concubine Qi bragging that the princess in the backyard of her third prince was pregnant.
It’s quite a long month now, just waiting for the fruits to ripen.
Concubine Qi has only one son, the Third Prince, and he is her greatest confidence.
The age difference naturally draws a line between the Third Prince and the current six, seven, and eight younger princes.
Now the third prince will have another child.
The emperor was also very happy.
Concubine Qi enjoyed a period of glory, and would talk about her soon-to-be grandson to everyone she met.
But the Third Prince's daughter was pregnant, and not only Concubine Qi was happy, but Huimin was also happy.
An Lingrong didn't know that this princess was Huimin's woman, and Huimin would not tell anyone, so she just smiled.
"Yes, the Third Prince is going to be a father soon, and Concubine Qi is looking forward to having this child."
Yining had a child and was given the status of a princess in the Third Prince's backyard, although because of her family background, it was unlikely that she could become a concubine.
But she went from an ordinary palace maid who taught people how to handle human affairs to a favored and pregnant princess.
Yining has done her best.
The higher she climbed, the closer she became to Huimin.
When An Lingrong heard Huimin say this, she didn't know what she was thinking about and sighed.
"But the Third Prince is about to marry his first wife, and this princess... the days ahead... ah."
"That princess is of humble origin, not even as good as the other princess in the mansion, let alone the legitimate wife."
Huimin looked at An Lingrong and knew that she was reminded of herself by this pregnant princess. One had the lowest birth among the concubines in the palace, and the other had the lowest birth among the women in the Third Prince's harem, and yet both were pregnant.
An Lingrong was already sensitive during her pregnancy, so she couldn't help but think of herself because of this princess.
Huimin knew what An Lingrong meant. The Third Prince's wife was from the Dong'e clan. Her father, Xierda, was acting as the Governor-General of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and she came from a good family.
Yining's true identity was ostensibly that she was born into the Eight Banners, but in reality she was just a servant of the Xilin Gioro Mansion and could not compete with the legitimate wife at all.
Huimin had no choice but to comfort An Lingrong, lest she worry too much during her pregnancy and hurt herself.
But when An Lingrong mentioned the Third Prince, Huimin's thoughts began to wander.
Only by relying on Huimin can Yining have a place in the third prince's harem.
The third prince has always been Huimin's target.
Although he is not smart, he has advantages that other princes do not have.
The emperor's eldest son has reached adult age.
No matter how hard the other young princes try to make up for the gap, they cannot match the political affairs they have been exposed to earlier and the power they have cultivated in advance.
Huimin has always been very clear about who Hongyao's opponents are.
Hongqing is two years old, but he can't speak well and can't walk smoothly. Most of the time, he is either held by his nanny or crawling.
Fu Cha Peiyun also noticed something was wrong, but she still didn't want to think about that possibility.
After all, it is possible that children develop late and learn things slowly.
But the emperor has become much colder towards Fu Cha Peiyun and her son.
As for Hongjun, this child was smart and studious, and he was also the emperor's youngest son. The emperor liked him, but he was too weak to have a chance of becoming emperor.
As for the others, the Fifth Prince was of humble origin, was frail and sickly, was not liked by the Emperor, and was like a transparent person.
Among the current princes, Huimin is most wary of the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince's biological mother, Li Jingui, has always been a thorn in the emperor's heart. If there was a choice, the emperor would not take the initiative to choose him.
Huimin knew that he should not be underestimated, but he was not the most important person now.
The most important thing is the Third Prince.
But now is not a good time to overthrow the Third Prince. Once the Third Prince falls now, it will be an opportunity for others. Huimin's Hongyao is too young to gain any benefit.
Huimin is still waiting. Most of the attention in the palace on the heir is on the Third Prince. He also has a mother who always claims that her son is the eldest son. She is the best target.
In order to plan for the future, Huimin asked Yining to try her best to gain a foothold in the Third Prince's backyard and win his trust.
She had to keep this baby at all costs.
It would be even better if he was a prince.
If we talk about the current situation.
The third prince has no title and is a bald prince.
Even at this age, the emperor has not allowed him to move out of the palace and build his own residence, and he still lives in the prince's residence.
Huimin also wanted to get in touch with Yining and secretly sent someone to help her.
In addition, Concubine Qi's attention was also a powerful weapon for her to protect her pregnancy.
Her due date was in autumn, two months after the first wife entered the house.
Huimin placed people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Yining was surrounded by her own people, just because she was afraid that something might happen to her child.
Yining is also very obedient and always very proactive in reporting to Huimin.
However, the Third Prince has not yet attended court. He has studied in the Shangshufang for so many years, but he is not that diligent.
The monthly reports are filled with useless information.
Yi Ning had been very worried about this, and she also knew that Concubine Xian was keeping her not for the trivial matters she reported.
But if it was something deeper, she couldn't reach it.
Huimin comforted Yining several times.
Tell her not to be anxious, because the real useful time will come later.
The biggest advantage of this girl Yining is that she is obedient. She really listens to Huimin.
The sense of belonging to the Xilin Gioro family is much stronger than that to the Third Prince's mansion.
Huimin was not afraid that she would betray her.
In a moment, Huimin comforted An Lingrong while thinking about everything from Yining's pregnancy to the future plans.
However, Huimin looked at An Lingrong's belly. If this child was a prince, he would be Hongyao's best right-hand man.
