The imperial edict has requested the withdrawal, and the monarch's heart has been set to play.

The Sovereign King was annoyed by the love of his harem, and the harem was filled with joy.

Kangxi 12 July, Pingxi King Wu Sangui asked Wu Sangui to withdraw the engravings, then the Jingnan King Geng Sanzhong also cleared up the engravings, and the two parties in the imperial court were once again in a dispute over whether or not the two kings should be allowed to withdraw the envoys. The Grand Scholar Suo Diagram, Tu Hai and many other ministers believed that the three margravines could not be removed. The Erfan King intended to use this as a test to test the rebuttal of the envoys, and if they were allowed to withdraw the envoys, only the Minister of Justice of Penalty Mo Luo, the Minister of Revenue Mishan Mishan Ming Zhu, etc. Xuan Ye also insisted that it would be disadvantageous for the country if the three kings did not withdraw. Now that the three kings had requested for the withdrawal of the three beasts themselves, it was not because the imperial government forced them to; moreover, he also believed that with Wu Yingxiong, Geng Zhaozhong, and the others as reinforcements, they should not be able to rebel. The empress dowager then ordered the Three Sentinels to be removed without regard to the warning given by the empress dowager.

At the same time, the Imperial Court sent the Minister of Rites, Minister Zelken and others to Yunnan, and the Minister of the Civil Service, Chen Yiping and others to Fujian to discuss matters related to the transfer of the vassal lords with the King and the other ministers, and to discuss the arrangements for the management of the withdrawal of the vassal lords and other matters related to the removal of the vassals.

Over a month had passed since the order was issued, and although Xuan Ye remained calm and collected in front of his subjects, Rong'er could see that the Emperor had been in a rather tense state the entire time. Although he believed that the two kings would not go against him, he still issued a secret decree for them to reorganize their military affairs and strengthen their military training in Yunnan and Fujian, just in case. Before long, the Minister of Rites sent to Yunnan and the Minister of Government sent to Fujian, Chen Yiping, both claimed that King Wu Sangui of Pingxi and Geng Jing-zhong of Jingnan had received orders to withdraw from the imperial court and enthusiastically received the imperial messenger sent by the emperor, saying that they would plan to withdraw for a certain period of time. The emperor felt slightly relieved when he received the memorial.

With her child, Zhang Leyao's mood was much better, and the smiles on Rong'er's and the Queen's face were much more at ease. Because ever since Zhuo Hui had disappeared, they had always felt that Zhang Leyan was very strange and would sometimes reveal a strange smile, but they could not tell what she was talking about, so the Queen and Rong'er had always been very nervous of her. Now that there was a dragon, they were much more at ease.

"Little sister Rong'er sure has a good fate. With brother and princess, my only hope now is that this Long Si is a brother in my stomach. If I really can do that, I will forget everything and wholeheartedly strive for good." Zhang Leyan said with a smile.

The empress looked tired today, shook her head and said, "You still care so much about this. I can see that you won't be able to fix it. "

"Empress, Loki is speaking the truth. In the past, how did the Emperor treat Ah and Cheng Rui? "And how do you do that?" Zhang LEqi bit her lips and said softly, "I think everyone can see it clearly."

"This …" The empress was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Elder sister, you're overthinking things. It's only because the prince will assist the emperor in the future that the emperor values his growth a bit. It's not that he doesn't like to be perspicacious, ah." Rong'er hurriedly said.

"That's right, the birth of a prince means a lot to the emperor. Just this point makes it clear that the prince is very important." Zhang LEqi said with a sneer.

Rong'er was at a loss for words. Seeing this, the Empress sighed and said, "If you think this way, there's nothing we can do. We also hope that you'll be happy."

"I appreciate the empress and Rong'er's kindness, but everyone in the palace knows that there are more and more women in the palace. If there isn't a prince in front of the emperor, sooner or later he will forget about us unfavoured women." A smile appeared on Zhang Le's face as he looked at Rong'er and said, "We aren't like younger sister Rong'er after all. I'm afraid that the Emperor will never forget younger sister Rong'er even in his lifetime."

The empress smiled tiredly and said, "I'm afraid you'll have to spend the rest of your life thinking like this. If the empress dowager hears this, she'll definitely say it."

Rong'er did not reply. After so many years, she was already used to Zhang Leyan's words and did not like arguing with her. If she said that she would feel comfortable, then she would let her say it. She only saw that the empress did not look too good today, so she asked with concern, "Big sister, Rong'er saw that your complexion was not too good.

The empress nodded with a smile, feeling a little uncomfortable these few days. She planned to let the palace maid pass on the news to the imperial physicians later.

Rong'er nodded sorrowfully. Seeing how the empress was sick all the time, Rong'er felt really sad.

After dinner, Little Qing suddenly came over to tell Rong'er with a smile. Just now, the imperial physician had gone to see the empress. The empress was pregnant again. When Rong'er heard this, he was elated. He hurriedly went to investigate on the empress, and the emperor also came to visit at night. Rong'er was really happy, thinking that if the empress had another child, her mental state could be completely cured.

Unexpectedly, in the next two months, good news came one by one. After Yin Ruo Lan and the others were diagnosed with pregnancy, and after Yin Ruo Lan gave birth to a small child, they had not gotten pregnant for so many years. They thought that they would never get pregnant again, but they never expected that Long Zi would. The people of the imperial harem all said that the masters of the palace were blessed with good fortune, and that the emperor had come to the palace many times before, so the women of the palace received much attention from the emperor. On the other hand, the lords of the palace often did not see the emperor, other than the noble man Bu who was favored by the emperor, the other masters of the imperial palace who had previously promised to help him were much more pitiful, especially Imperial Concubine Zhao, who had not carried Long Si.

Xiaoqing sighed and said, "Master, look at yourself. You've given birth to a princess this year, and are unable to sleep during the month period. So many women in the harem have gotten pregnant, and the other young masters have also been summoned by the Emperor. All of the people in this palace are pregnant. " Little Qing paused for a moment before seriously looking at Rong'er and saying, "And even An Dong has been summoned by the Emperor. She loves to come to your side, this servant thinks so. She knows that her master is pampered, so she often comes here.

Rong'er smiled and said, "She's just a little girl. How could she have such scheming thoughts? Maybe she just likes me here."

"Sigh!" "Mistress, you are really shrewd and do not worry about these things at all." Little Qing sighed.

Rong'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he said, "Little Qing, my body isn't well. Since the Emperor is young, it's normal for me to invite others to sleep with him. The women in the imperial palace are all women of the emperor, so what's wrong with it? Don't tell me that only Rong'er is allowed to receive royal favors, and no one else is allowed to." Rong'er gave Xiao Qing a rebuking look. "Don't spout such nonsense in the future. How can the sisters in the palace be jealous of each other? If the empress and empress dowager heard this, they'd think I was the one who instigated your thoughts."

"The Lord!" Xiaoqing is serious. Xiaoqing is my master, alright. Think about it, how many people would be jealous of you for being so doted on by the Emperor? Even if they don't say it, it doesn't mean they don't want to, since you're being pampered now, they wouldn't dare to provoke you, so if one day the emperor is enchanted by some master, you will lose your favor, and you don't have the support of an illustrious family, so won't you be bullied to death? " Little Qing said, feeling wronged.

"No …." "How could that be?" Rong'er was amused. Where did all these thoughts come from? She smiled and asked, "Xiaoqing, where did all these strange thoughts come from?"

"Mistress, isn't this how the scenes play? Xiaoqing thinks that it makes a lot of sense." Xiaoqing gave Rong'er a look that seemed to take it for granted, and he helplessly smiled.

Could what Xiaoqing said be true? It was very hard for her to believe that these sisters who were together every day would treat her well just like Xiaoqing had said, that it was because she was pampered. Even if Zhang LEqi was extremely jealous, it was only on the surface, if she really wanted to do something bad, she wouldn't say it out loud, and she was actually very concerned about her. She thought that if she really lost her favor one day, she would already be a pitiful person, could it be that someone would ruthlessly rub salt into her wounds?
