Spring fades, autumn arrives.
Time passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.
...
In this half year, whether it's the Pingan Marquis Mansion, the Chen Mansion, the palace, or the entire Capital City, there hasn't been much major movement.
The only shock came once.
Starting in March, the Madam Imperial Concubine of the Pingan Marquis Mansion began offering incense money in front of the Guanyin Goddess of Child-Giving at the temple.
Once this news was revealed, the circle of noblewomen in half of the Capital City was extremely shocked.
"Wasn't she pregnant?"
"Yes! The old Madam of the Marquis Mansion said it herself on New Year's Eve!"
"Exactly! She didn't attend such an important banquet, isn't that because she was pregnant? Why suddenly start offering to the Goddess of Child-Giving!"
"So young, this is not a good omen! Isn't that place only visited by those who can't conceive?"
"Indeed! Tsk, tsk!"
