The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem

Chapter 138 - Offering Songs and Dances

It really is true that human plans can't compare to heavenly plans.

"Fortunately, this Mu Daying is relatively obedient. Therefore, it is appropriate to have someone by your side and talk to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I understand."

As expected, when hearing this, a hint of dissatisfaction instantly appeared in Lan Fei's eyes, but it was quickly restrained.

She immediately continued, "Sister Ying's belly looks even bigger than mine. I've heard from Momo that this baby must be a healthy son. It seems Sister Ying will give birth to the Fourth Prince for the Emperor in two or three months!"

She was quite adept at diverting the attention elsewhere.

In front of the other concubines, she constantly claimed to prefer the princess and was expecting a princess herself, while throwing the low-profile Ying Fei out as a shield.

Upon hearing this, Ying Fei frowned.

To mention the matter of giving birth to a prince in front of Yi Fei—wasn't this setting her up for failure?

Just as she was contemplating how to respond, she was interrupted by Mu Lanchun from behind.

With a seemingly innocent demeanor, she curiously said,

"Is Lan Fei serious? My sister-in-law had a large belly during her pregnancy too. Many midwives said it was a son, but in the end, she gave birth to a clever and lovely little niece."

"That's true. Regardless of whether it's a prince or a princess, with Ying Fei's temperament, the child will surely be gentle, polite, and not one to compete for attention."

Lin Wanyi had never heard Ming Changzai speak up before, but unexpectedly, her words came to Ying Fei's rescue.

In an instant, everyone looked toward Ming Changzai, and even Ying Fei wore a grateful smile.

Lan Fei's expression turned sour.

It seemed that her words were met with many eager to point out her mistakes.

Wasn't this a blow to her dignity?

She immediately felt displeased.

In recent days, she had not been her usual calm self.

Perhaps it was after Chai Momo's death that she had been experiencing misfortune.

When she was in the palace, the Emperor would visit her every few days.

Sometimes he would even sit with her and share a meal.

Now, not only had he stopped visiting her, but even sending Dong Yuzhong to convey messages had not happened.

It seemed that the matter of the Second Prince had indeed displeased the Emperor.

She feared that her unborn child might lose the Emperor's favor before even arriving.

If that happened, wouldn't it be a disaster?

So she thought about how to attract more attention.

But for some reason, it seemed to have the opposite effect.

"Since Ying Fei entered the palace, she has indeed focused on nurturing her temperament and does not like to go out."

With this comment from Yi Fei, everyone fell silent.

Compared to Lin Guifei, the other concubines actually feared Yi Fei more.

After all, she was a formidable character with the Li family backing her.
