She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

Chapter 457 A Gift

Ye Xuwan lowered her head to glance at the wound on her wrist. It wasn't serious, so she didn't care.

"She acted like this because she lost her child. If she hadn't wanted to avenge her child, she would have probably hit her head and died."

She spoke slowly. She felt something was wrong when she saw her that day. Her every move did not seem like she was seeking life, but rather seeking death.

"Your Highness, it was you who helped her give birth to the little prince safely. How could Your Highness harm her?" If she really wanted to harm her, she would have done it when the little prince was born. How could she let the little prince grow up safely?

"She thinks too little of Ye Qingwan." Ye Xuwan spoke slowly. At this moment, she did not have sufficient evidence to prove that it was Ye Qingwan who did it, but it was almost certain.

She knows what kind of person she is, and she also knows her tactics.

"Concubine Ye has become much quieter now. She may have really changed her character." Hua Ying put away the medicine box and put it back where it belonged.

Ever since the Crown Princess was burned last time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has specially prepared a medicine box in the East Palace in case of emergency.

"I know her character very well."

Ye Xuwan spoke slowly. The most difficult thing to change in this world is a person's character. Ye Qingwan might never change in this life.

Time passed by in a flash, and on the day of the Central Plains Festival, all the palaces had to go to Concubine Lin to pay their respects to me. Although the Lin family is weak now, her status has not been reduced in the slightest, and she is still the most important concubine in the palace.

All the concubines from the palaces had arrived, and Ye Xuwan also came with gifts.

As soon as she reached the door, she saw a lot of people standing in the yard. She raised the corners of her mouth and walked in.

"See the Crown Princess!"

Everyone saluted her in unison, and she immediately returned the salute with the same level.

"Why isn't Concubine Mei here?" Two noble ladies began to discuss in a low voice. There are two princes in total, so how dare the concubine not come?

Ye Xuwan naturally heard this as well. She looked around and indeed, Mei Xue was nowhere to be seen.

She glanced sideways, and Hua Ying immediately leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Concubine Mei is ill and cannot come today."

Unwell? Could it be that he really went crazy because of losing his child?
There was some worry in Ye Xuwan's eyes. She had thought that Mei Xue would work hard to climb up and survive in this palace, but the loss of her child made her become like this.

"Dear guests, please come in. The Imperial Concubine is waiting."

The palace maid pushed open the door and everyone walked in immediately.

If they could gain the Imperial Concubine's appreciation, their words would be more effective in the palace in the future, so everyone rushed forward.

However, since Ye Xuwan didn't come in, no one dared to sit down.

Behind her seat was Ye Qingwan's, and they were all arranged in order of level. Since Mei Xue did not arrive today, her seat was naturally vacant.

Today is the annual Central Plains Festival, and we can't break the rules.

Everyone stood up and looked at the person in front of them, then immediately began to kneel and salute.

"Okay, today is a holiday, so don't be restrained." Concubine Lin said with a smile. It was a rare occasion to see so many people gathered together.

His Majesty attaches great importance to the Central Plains Festival, so a banquet was held. However, this banquet will naturally be held in the evening, so they can just go around and pay their respects during the day.

"Your Highness, this is the gift I prepared for you."

Everyone immediately presented their gifts and waited for Concubine Lin to return the gift.

This is just a custom, and it is also for a good omen. "This is the sachet prepared by the palace, which contains different spices according to your status." Concubine Lin smiled and said, and the palace maids immediately distributed the sachets.

According to her position, she shouldn't wear clothes with peony patterns, but she wore it today anyway. This is enough to show how important Concubine Lin is in His Majesty's heart.

Ye Xuwan hung the sachet around her waist, and the concubines who had originally planned to put the sachet away followed her example.

"Crown Princess, this is a gift I prepared for you and the Crown Prince. It is also a wish for your long-lasting marriage and the birth of a prince soon."

Concubine Lin's eyes fell on Ye Xuwan, and she immediately bowed and the palace maid immediately brought the things to her.

It is a gold bracelet and looks very valuable.

The only better item in the palace besides jade is gold. I didn't expect Concubine Lin would give such a big gift.

"The Crown Princess has delicate wrists, it will look beautiful when she wears it."

Ye Xuwan glanced at the bracelet on her wrist and a smile appeared on her face.

There was envy in everyone's eyes. This was the first time that Concubine Lin gave such a big gift in front of so many people, so it was inevitable that they were a little jealous.

"Okay, everyone take a rest. I am a little tired too."

Concubine Lin slowly stood up and left. Ye Xuwan stared at the gold bracelet on her wrist in a daze. This thing was originally a material possession, she didn't like it but also didn't need it.

"Your Highness the Crown Princess, I would like to invite you to appreciate the flowers with me." She immediately looked at the person beside her. If she remembered correctly, that person was Concubine Ning.

She must have been pregnant for several months now. Concubine Ning was pregnant before she entered the palace. This can be considered as His Majesty having a child in his old age, so His Majesty also attaches great importance to it. After all, this may very well be his last prince.

"it is good."

Ye Xuwan smiled and spoke. As soon as she mentioned the idea of ​​going to appreciate the flowers, many people went there together. The road to the Imperial Garden was particularly lively.

Several people walked together, talking and laughing, but Ye Xuwan couldn't talk to them.

"The Crown Princess is so lucky. She is favored by the Crown Prince, and even the Imperial Concubine values ​​her very much."

"It's just that I'm young and the Imperial Concubine is too caring towards me." Ye Xuwan spoke immediately. She didn't want to be flattered like that.

What's more, there are so many people here, something might really happen later.

She walked in front of the crowd cautiously. Concubine Ning, who was originally behind her, immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess, this flower is very beautiful and suits Your Highness very well." After saying that, she reached out to grab it, but Ye Xuwan pulled her back.

"You're pregnant, you should be careful."

Seeing this, Hua Ying immediately brought a ladder, stood on it, cut off a branch and handed it to her.

"Just let them handle these matters." Ye Xuwan spoke slowly. If anything happened to the baby in her belly, she would be blamed.

This is a pregnancy that Your Majesty values ​​very much, and it is also a rare happy event in the harem. Nothing can go wrong.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Princess." A look of disappointment flashed across Concubine Ning's eyes. She immediately walked to Ye Xuwan's side and walked side by side with her.

Suddenly she fell to the side, then she held her stomach with a look of pain on her face.

"Call the imperial physician." Ye Xuwan frowned, her eyes fell on the stones on the ground, wondering if she had sprained her ankle or if she had done it on purpose.

Everyone immediately panicked. Concubine Ning covered her stomach and kept shouting in pain, "It hurts, it hurts so much."
