Shushujueluo arranged everything in an orderly manner.
"Lianqiao, knock him out, tie him up and hide him in the back."
Lian Qiao was also quite frightened, but she had been in the palace for so long that she had experienced a lot, so she and Liu'er immediately knocked the man unconscious and took him away.
"You three have done a great service in discovering this matter in time. When the queen gives birth safely, in addition to the one hundred taels I gave you before, I will reward you each with another one hundred taels!"
"Thank you, madam!"
The three of them earned another 100 taels of silver at once. They were so happy that they concentrated on taking care of Yi Xin during her delivery.
Finally, as everyone expected, Yi Xin successfully gave birth to a little prince.
After Yi Xin and the little prince were dressed up, the midwife sent the little prince over to Yi Xin to see. Yi Xin thought her son, who looked like a red monkey, was not a good-looking boy, so she quickly fed him some body-building pills, intelligence-enhancing pills, and immunity pills, and then let the midwife take the baby out to announce the good news.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has given birth to a 15-pound 6-ounce baby boy!"
"Hahaha, let me see it quickly!" Yinzhen hadn't had a prince for many years, so he could never get enough of seeing him.
Among the concubines, some were jealous, some were envious, and some felt it had nothing to do with them.
Since Princess Wenyi's first birthday party, Yixin and Jingpin had visited each other several times and had a good relationship. Therefore, when Yixin gave birth, Jingpin was very happy for her and reminded her, "Your Majesty, it's time to ask the imperial physician to check the pulse of sister Qiongpin and the little prince."
"Yes! Thanks to you for reminding me, Concubine Jing. I was so happy that I forgot about it. Zeng Youming, Kang Ning, go and see Concubine Qiong and the little prince."
Concubine Qiong.
Yinzhen directly promoted Yi Xin's position, and she became Concubine Qiong, one of the four concubines.
No matter what everyone felt, Yi Xin and Shu Shujueluo in the room were very happy.
Zeng Youming is good at obstetrics and gynecology, and Kang Ning is good at pediatrics, so the two of them went to see the patients separately. Although they saw the patients separately, the conclusions they came to were similar.
"The delivery went smoothly, and she is in good health. She only needs to rest for a month."
"The little prince is in good health and lively. He will surely grow up safely."
"That's good! That's good!" Yinzhen was so happy that he rewarded all the palace maids in the palace with three months' monthly interest. The imperial physician and the midwife also received a reward of fifty taels of silver each.
"You all should go away. I will go to see Concubine Qiong."
Once Yinzhen spoke, no matter what ideas everyone had, they had to retreat honestly.
Inside the room, Shushujueluo heard Yinzhen talking and knew that her daughter had something to say to Yinzhen, so she stepped aside and left the seat beside the bed for Yinzhen.
As soon as Yinzhen came up, he sat next to Yixin and held her hand. "Yixin, you have worked hard. You gave me a healthy sixth prince. I have announced that I will confer you the title of concubine. I will hold the canonization ceremony after you are out of confinement."
Yi Xin smiled and shook her head, "It's not hard for me. It's my blessing to give Your Majesty a long line of offspring. By the way, Your Majesty, will you give the Sixth Prince a name?"
"I have been flipping through books these days and have come up with several names, all of which I think are good."
"What are their names? Your Majesty, please tell me quickly."
"Zhao, Xing, Chen, Yao, Sheng, Xi, among these six names, which one do you like?"
Yi Xin smiled, "I like them all. How about this, Your Majesty, pick one for the Sixth Prince first, and you can give the rest names to them when I have more children in the future. Is that okay?"
After hearing this, Yinzhen smiled and tapped her forehead, "You are really greedy. Giving birth to one is not enough, you want to have five more."
Yi Xin wanted to say that she really wanted to have more children.
In this way, she would have more brothers to help the Sixth Prince. Secondly, she would also have points to earn. Each child would give her points. The moment she gave birth to the Sixth Prince, Tongzi would remind her that the points had been received and she could spend them at any time.
If there weren't so many people in the room, she would have wanted to go shopping in the system space immediately.
Finally, Yinzhen thought for a long time and decided to give the Sixth Prince the name Zhao. From then on, the Sixth Prince was called Hongzhao.
At night, there was no one in the room except Liu'er who was on night watch.
Yi Xin didn't dare to take the postpartum recovery pill for the time being, because after taking it, she would not have lochia, and Shushu Jueluo and the others might think she was sick. So it would be better to wait until after the confinement period before taking it. A month would not be a big deal.
During the mission, the tasker cannot physically enter the system space and can only control it with consciousness.
As soon as Yi Xin's consciousness entered the space, she found a light screen appearing on the TV in the living room.
Looking at the three software above, Yi Xin decisively opened the first system mall.
In an instant, a wide variety of pills and tools appeared.
Yi Xin clicked on the Loyalty Pill and read the instructions for use.
"Those who take it will be forever loyal to the missioner. The loyalty pill is ineffective against the masters of the royal family. If a palace maid takes the loyalty pill, the effect of the loyalty pill will disappear when she becomes a master one day."
Yi Xin thought there was nothing wrong with this explanation, except that the price was a bit expensive, 100 points per pill. Yi Xin calculated the number of people serving her and Hong Zhao, so she bought 19 Loyalty Pills from the system mall, intending to give them to the palace servants around her, including Fang Cao, Zeng Youming, Kang Ning, and the wet nurses.
She looked at the strange tools in the system mall and found that the cheapest pulse regulator also required points, so she had to give up with regret.
After exiting the system mall, Yi Xin opened the takeaway app again, bought a cup of milk tea filled with various ingredients, inserted a straw in the space, and took it out to drink.
I don't know if it's because she hasn't had it in a year or because it feels so exciting to drink it secretly, but she looks so beautiful.
He drank it all up, opened the lid and ate all the toppings inside before throwing it back into the space.
That's why Liu'er was on guard today. If it was Lian Qiao, with her sensitive ears, she might have woken up when Yi Xin sniffed.
Yi Xin ate and drank her fill and had a sound sleep. When she woke up the next day, she didn't even know that Yinzhen had come to see her and Hongzhao.
However, the first thing she did after waking up was to quickly put the loyalty pill into the tea and let Fangcao and the others drink it.
Then almost instantly, everyone was loyal to her from the bottom of their hearts.
There was even a wet nurse who took the initiative to come forward and said that her family had been captured and asked her to find a way to kill Hong Zhao.
Yi Xin told Shushujueluo about the matter. Someone from the Fucha family intervened behind the scenes. As long as her family was alive, they would be able to rescue them.
After a while, Concubine Jing came with gifts.
"Your servant pays respects to Queen Concubine Qiong." Jingpin bowed politely.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Yi Xin was leaning on the bed and it was inconvenient for her to help her up, so she quickly winked at Lian Qiao. Lian Qiao understood and helped Jingpin up.
"Just because I became Concubine Qiong, will you become estranged from me?"
Seeing that she was not showing any expression or pretending to be nice, Concubine Jing returned to her previous state.
"Sister, I see that your sister looks better than before she gave birth."
"My mother wants to feed me like a pig. She feeds me anything she hears is good. How can I not look good?"
"That's because Madam Fucha loves you." Feng Ruozhao smiled and looked around the room.
After Yi Xin noticed it, she asked Lian Qiao, "Has Sixth Prince changed his diaper?"
Lian Qiao glanced at the other side of the room and shook her head, "They are changing now."
Feng Ruozhao also looked in the direction Lian Qiao was looking and saw the wet nurse was wiping Hongzhao's butt with warm water. Her eyes suddenly lit up.
Yi Xin smiled and said, "Sister, if you don't mind the smell, go and have a look. He has been wandering around for a long time just now."
How could Feng Ruozhao be disgusted? He talked to Yi Xin and went over there, watching the nanny putting a new diaper on Hongzhao with a keen eye.
Then the wet nurse brought Hongzhao over, and Jingpin also came back.
Yi Xin picked up Hong Zhao and handed him to her, "Sister Jingpin, do you want to hold him?"
Jingpin subconsciously stretched out her hand, then immediately retracted it and pointed at herself, "You want me to hold him?"
Yi Xin deliberately asked her: "Sister Jingpin, don't you like our Hongzhao? Why don't you hug Hongzhao?"
Jingpin then carefully took Hongzhao over, and the wet nurse instructed her on how to hold Hongzhao comfortably.
Jingpin smelled the fragrance of milk in her arms, felt his soft little body, and was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.
"Speaking of which, our Sixth Prince and Sister are also destined to be together. Sister's maiden name is Feng Ruozhao, and our Sixth Prince's name is Hongzhao, both of which have the character Zhao in them."
After hearing what Yi Xin said, Jingpin liked the little person in her arms even more.
"Hong Zhao, what a nice name. I am also very happy that I have a connection with Hong Zhao."
Newborn babies sleep a lot, so Hong Zhao woke up for a short while, then yawned and wanted to go back to sleep.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Jing hurriedly handed the child to the wet nurse and lowered her voice a lot.
"Sixth Prince is sleepy, take him to bed quickly."
Yi Xin actually felt a little sorry for her when she saw this. If it weren't for the fact that Yinzhen, the Queen, and the Queen Mother had not joined forces to send Huan Yi Xiang to Concubine Hua when they were in the Qiandi, and if Concubine Jing had not been assigned to Concubine Hua's courtyard before, Yinzhen would have been worried that suddenly transferring her out of Concubine Hua's courtyard would arouse Concubine Hua's suspicion. Jingpin clearly also had the opportunity to be a mother.
Fortunately, she is not as lonely as before.
Because of Yi Xin's warm welcome, Concubine Jing would come over and stay for an hour or two almost every day. Sometimes Concubine Xin, Princess Shuhe, and Concubine Chun would also come together.
Princess Shuhe is almost four years old, and it is the first time she has seen a child as young as Hongzhao. She finds it very novel.
Wen Yi was closely watched by Concubine Cao, and Concubine Xin, who was straightforward in her temper, didn't think much of people from Concubine Hua's faction, so Shuhe and Wen Yi had never had any contact with each other before.
Chun Changzai has a childlike nature. She teases Shuhe and touches Hongzhao from time to time.
With their company, Yi Xin's confinement time was not so boring.
Shushujueluo also received news from the Fucha family.
"Xin'er, your father found out from interrogation that the midwife had a twin sister. We captured her twin sister's husband and child. Her husband, child and sister were all captured by the Ulanara clan. Later, your father sent people to verify it, and it was exactly as she said. Your mother wants to ask you what you think. How do you want to take revenge?"
Yi Xin thought about it and decided to poke the person at the most painful spot on her body.
"Have someone pretend to be a tomb robber and rob the eldest prince's tomb. Take out the burial objects inside, select the most valuable one, wrap it up as a gift and send it to our queen. Leave a note inside and write..."
There was a chill in Yi Xin's voice as she uttered those bone-chilling words.
Shushujueluo thought that she would deal with the Ulanara clan members to avenge the queen, but she didn't expect that she would use Honghui's burial objects!
Seeing that she remained silent, Yi Xin asked, "Does mother think that your daughter is cruel?"
Shushujueluo shook her head. "No, mother loves you. If you hadn't gone through so much, you wouldn't have grown to this point. At the same time, mother is also very happy that you have adapted to the life in the palace and can live for a long time."
Yi Xin grabbed Shushujueluo's hand, looked at her seriously and said, "Mother, my daughter not only wants to be with me forever, I also want my son to sit in that position."
Shushujueluo was not surprised. Regardless of whether her daughter had that idea or not, the prince with their Fucha bloodline had been born. Even if they, the Fucha family, had not had that idea before, they had it now.
"Don't worry, the Fucha clan will fully support you and the Sixth Prince!"
"I understand this. What I want to say is that the Fucha family should calm down now. There is something that you can tell my mother and uncle when you go back. Then they will put themselves in their shoes and know what to do."
"what's up?"
Yi Xin leaned over to Shushujueluo's ear and told her how Yinzhen was on guard against Nian Gengyao, and how he had Hua Fei's child aborted to prevent him. He also gave Hua Fei Huanyi incense mixed with musk as a contraceptive.
Shushujueluo opened her mouth in surprise, "He actually, actually, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs..."
Yi Xin: "Nian Gengyao is arrogant and domineering, and he holds military power. If Concubine Hua gives birth to a child with Nian's bloodline, given Nian Gengyao's temper, do you think the emperor's position will be secure?"
Shushujueluo sighed, "That's true, but that's his child."
Yi Xin: "Yes, if the emperor had prepared a few people to check and balance Nian Gengyao earlier, he would not have been forced to act like this by Nian Gengyao. But mother, the emperor's dissatisfaction with the Nian family has almost reached its peak. Once the war stops, it may be time for him to deal with the Nian family."
Shushujueluo: "Then do you want your father and uncle to help?"
Yi Xin shook her head, "No, it's best to let someone else take the credit. If you can't let someone else take the credit, don't take it. With the emperor's suspicious nature, who knows if the one who takes the credit will not be the next Nian family. We already have the Sixth Prince in the Fucha clan, so we can't act so high-profile anymore. If I'm right, your position as the Minister of the Imperial Guards should also be replaced by the emperor. The emperor can't hand over his own safety to a relative with a prince, so you should prepare your father mentally."
Shushujueluo: "Okay, mother has taken note of it. Don't worry too much about the family. Don't forget that your second uncle is still here. He will always remind the family."
Old man is smart.
Yi Xin smiled. Isn't this guy an old man?
He actually lived to the age of 88.
Yi Xin suddenly became nervous again. When she was watching Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, she looked up Fu Cha Langya's life experience out of curiosity and learned that her eldest uncle, third uncle and father had died early. Fu Cha Langya was able to become Hongli's wife because of her second uncle Ma Qi.
So I looked up Ma Qi again and found out that he lived to be 88 years old.
Ma Wu was also a first-rank official. If Fu Cha Langya only relied on Ma Qi, it meant that Ma Wu might have died before her selection.
However, the timelines of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" are different from those of history.
In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", she was selected for the talent show in the tenth year of Emperor Yongzheng's reign.
In Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, it was in the seventh year of Yongzheng's reign.
But in history, Fucha married Hongli in the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign.
Yi Xin no longer knew how to calculate this timeline.
But what is certain is that her father will not live long, and may die at any time...
Whether out of selfishness or other reasons, Yi Xin didn't want Ma Wu to leave so early.
She immediately got out of bed and went to look for it in the dressing table.
"What are you looking for?" asked Shushujueluo.
Finally, Yi Xin found a small empty box.
She took out two longevity pills from the space and put them in while Shushujueluo was not paying attention.
Then open it and show it to her.
"Mother, this is a pill made from a recipe for strengthening the body and replenishing the essence that I got by accident. Take one, and then go back home today and give one to Father as well."
"Going back today? You still have more than half a month left of confinement. Mother can stay with you until the end of the confinement."
"Mother, listen to me. Something embarrassing will happen in the Old Summer Palace soon. If you are here, the emperor will feel embarrassed when he thinks about it. It is better to leave early."
After saying that, he took out a pill and stuffed it into her mouth.
Before Shushujueluo could react, the pill disappeared.
"This pill melts in your mouth?!"
"Yes, you must remember to give it to Ama as soon as you see him."
"Okay, okay, I'll remember that, Mom."
Out of curiosity, she asked again: "What do you think will embarrass the emperor?"
Yi Xin told the story of how Shen Meizhuang was framed for a fake pregnancy.
Shushujueluo: "...Why does this Huipin seem not very smart?"
Yi Xin: "So, you should go back soon. It's not good for a lady like you to know about this."
Shushujueluo: "Well, mother will leave today. By the way, do you have more of this pill? Or if you give the recipe to mother, does your second uncle have to give one as well?"
Yi Xin thought that people could live to 88 and didn't need this.
But after thinking about it, why not make it an even number for her and let him live to 90.
He said, "Give it to Ama first, and I'll have someone make another one for Second Uncle. Remember, this one must be given to Ama."
Shushujueluo: "Okay, I know you miss him. Now that my mother is gone, she will tell your father about what you said."
Each person can only take one longevity pill. After taking one, any more will be useless.
For each longevity pill, Tongzi can set the validity period, up to 20 years.
That is to say, it can extend a person's original lifespan by up to 20 years.
For example, if Ma Qi took a 108-year-longevity pill now, he could live to 90 years old. However, Yi Xin felt that this age was a bit too exaggerated in ancient times, and it would be good enough for him to live to .
Yi Xin's decision to let Shushujueluo leave early was the right one.
Because on the third day after she left, Shen Meizhuang's fake pregnancy was exposed.
Still the same plot, same formula.
Faced with her true pulse condition and the testimony of the palace maid Fuling, Shen Meizhuang was unable to defend herself, so Yinzhen demoted her to a concubine, stripped her of her palace power, and confined her to Xianyue Pavilion.
After Yinzhen left Xianyue Pavilion, he went straight to Yi Xin.
He had just "lost" a child and was eager to see another child to comfort himself.
Hongzhao also worked hard and chatted with Yinzhen in baby talk, which finally eased his mood.
Looking at Yi Xin who was leisurely eating watermelon, Yinzhen felt a little envious in his heart, "You are so happy."
Yi Xin smiled and said, "With the wet nurses taking care of Hong Zhao, I will just eat and sleep every day, so I will naturally live a comfortable life."
After Yi Xin's subtle reminder, Yinzhen remembered that Yi Xin had no power in the palace.
Thinking that Jingpin has to fight against Huafei alone now, she may not be able to do so with her gentle nature, so she must find a companion for her.
Yinzhen counted the women in the harem.
He didn't even want to mention the queen.
There are four concubines.
Concubine Hua has power in the palace, Concubine Duan is recuperating at home, Concubine Qi is extremely stupid, and there is also Yi Xin... who is not very smart either.
Jingpin has palace power, Lipin is Huafei's person and has no brains, and there is also Yupin who is recuperating in the Rehe Palace.
The noble ladies include Noble Lady Xin, Noble Lady Cao, and Noble Lady Borjigit.
Among the three of them, Concubine Xin has a poor family background and a low position, so she is not suitable to be in charge of the palace.
Concubine Cao is Concubine Hua's person and cannot be given palace power.
The Borjigits were Mongolians and were not given palace power either.
It is even more impossible for the remaining ignorant Chun Changzai.
So after all the calculations, Yi Xin is the most suitable one. Although she is not smart, she has a beautiful partner by her side.
"Yixin, I intend to let you manage the palace affairs with Jingpin after you finish your confinement. Are you willing to help me?"
"Ah?" Yi Xin pointed at herself suspiciously, "I, oh, no, you mean me? You want me to take care of palace affairs? But I can't do that!"
Yinzhen looked at her clear and foolish face and was completely relieved. If possible, he didn't want to let someone with a prince take control of the palace.
Even if someone with a son holds power in the palace, another person with a son, such as Concubine Qi or Concubine Yu, must be allowed to check and balance her.
But Yi Xin is so stupid, which means she will rely more on the help of others, such as Jingpin and Fangcao, so as to avoid Yi Xin from monopolizing power as much as possible.
Yi Xin knew that he was suspicious, so she acted so hard.
In fact, she had never thought about how much power she would have in the palace, because in her opinion, palace power was only important to those who were not favored, had no children, and had no family background.
She has all three of these, and in fact, palace power is better than nothing for her.
Besides, Yi Xin felt that being in charge of palace affairs was not much different from being a housekeeper in a big villa.
But there is one thing that Yi Xin likes very much.
That is, he can interfere in palace affairs and place his own people in each palace.
Now the plot has been changed into a mess by her.
The heroine Zhen Huan was killed by her less than a year after entering the palace. The important female supporting role, the queen, revealed her vicious face in advance, and An Lingrong also died off early.
The subsequent development of things was no longer what she could have predicted.
So all these things have to be prepared in advance.
So after Yi Xin refused many times, Yinzhen insisted on giving her the power of the palace, allowing her and Jingpin to jointly control half of the palace affairs.
Yi Xin also did as Yinzhen thought and took the initiative to ask Fang Cao for help.
Honghui's tomb is in Hebei. The Fucha family traveled back and forth from the capital to Hebei. They also had to understand in advance the tools and methods commonly used by tomb robbers. In order to find the right moment to strike, it actually took a lot of effort.
When Yi Xin was almost done with her confinement, Jingren Palace finally received Yi Xin's generous gift.
"Ah—" Hearing the queen's scream, Zhixia and Randong hurriedly pushed the door open.
"What's wrong with you, Queen?"
"Get out! Get out!"
The two of them quickly closed the door and left.
Although the queen's eyesight was not very good, she could still see clearly if things were brought close.
She recognized that the gift box sent by Ulanara contained the jade peace token given to Honghui by the late emperor when Honghui was born.
She had clearly put this thing into Honghui's coffin herself, so how could it appear in her Jingren Palace? !
Soon, she found a note in the gift box.
"If you do it again, I will grind you to dust!"
The queen was really scared.
The only thing she did recently was to ask the Ulanara family to take action, hoping to kill Yi Xin twice. In order to prevent the attack from failing, she also arranged for the wet nurse to take action.
So it is easy to guess that this was done by Yi Xin or someone sent by the Fucha family.
They were taking revenge on her, but also giving her a warning.
Crushing bones and scattering ashes.
How dare they!
Honghui is the emperor's first child!
But in fact, they even dug up graves, and scattering bones and ashes was just a side job.
The queen held the jade tablet and cried from the afternoon until the next morning, and her eyesight became worse.
Zhixia felt that she couldn't just leave it alone, so she ran to Shoukang Palace to find the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother felt something was not right and rushed over with Zhu Xi.
After learning the whole story from the Queen, she really didn't know what to say.
She had managed so hard to keep her position as queen, but she still refused to give up and wanted to kill Concubine Qiong!
Although she knew that it was human nature for others to retaliate, Honghui was her prince, and the Fucha family's actions were a provocation to the imperial power!
The Queen Mother was also angry.
But there's no use getting angry.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs clearly recorded that this gift box was sent by Ulanara, and even the handwriting on it was from the Queen's younger brother Narbu.
It has nothing to do with the Fucha family.
If she insisted on putting the blame on Concubine Qiong, then she would certainly let the emperor know that his queen was not obedient even under house arrest and was still harming his offspring.
If the emperor suddenly decides to conduct a thorough investigation, then what the queen did before will not be concealed.
The emperor's wrath left millions of people dead and blood flowing for thousands of miles.
She also didn't dare to gamble whether the emperor would take action against Ulanara, depose the queen, or let her "die of illness."
So I can only swallow this matter back.
"When Concubine Qiong returns to the palace, I will go and ask for punishment. But you, Queen, you should not want Honghui to suffer in vain after his death, right?"
"Are we just going to let this matter go? They dug up Honghui's grave!"
"Who told you to attack them first? I've already said that you are the queen, no matter which child takes the throne, you are the queen mother and the empress dowager. It was you who insisted on harming the royal heir, so isn't it right for them to retaliate?! If you don't settle down, Ulanara and Uya should have grown-up girls in a year or two."
Hearing the threatening words, the Queen almost immediately stared at the Queen Mother with red eyes.
"Aunt, are you going to give up on me?"
The Queen Mother was frightened by her glare and turned her head away from her. After a while, she said, "If you make another mistake, you will force me to give up on you. Queen, this is all I have to say. You can do whatever you want."
After she finished speaking, the Queen Mother strode away as if she was afraid of being caught up by her.
Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin have been coming to talk to her recently. Since Yi Xin is unable to go out during her confinement period, they always tell her about the latest happenings in the Old Summer Palace.
Concubine Jing said that Shen Meizhuang's food was poisoned. Now that she holds the power in the palace, she directly built a few small stoves for Shen Meizhuang's place, and let Caiyue and others cook the meals from now on.
As for who poisoned the person, the three of them knew it clearly as if it were a mirror.
Later, Concubine Xin said that there was a new official girl around Yinzhen.
When Yi Xin heard this, she realized that this official lady was an old acquaintance.
It was Huanbi, the maid that came with Zhen Huan.
When Huanbi begged Shen Meizhuang to stay with her, her motive was not pure. She just wanted to use Shen Meizhuang to get to the top.
After Shen Meizhuang got into trouble, she immediately abandoned Shen Meizhuang and wanted to join Concubine Hua.
The reason why she went to Concubine Hua was because of her mother's death anniversary more than three months ago. When she went to the Imperial Garden to burn paper and worship, she was caught by Concubine Cao.
At this point, Concubine Cao had the upper hand over her, but at that time Zhen Huan was about to die, so Concubine Cao didn't let her do anything.
It was only after Zhen Huan died that Concubine Cao asked her to go to Shen Meiyu, thinking that one day she could raise Huanbi to share Shen Meiyu's favor and slap her in the face at the same time.
But later on, the plan of fake pregnancy came up, and for a while there was no place for Huanbi to use her abilities.
But Huanbi is pretty and has ambitions to move up the social ladder. The best thing about her is that she is not smart enough and is easy to manipulate.
So when Huanbi came to Hua Fei for refuge, Concubine Cao persuaded Concubine Hua to accept her as her.
Concubine Hua hated others competing with her for favor the most, but Concubine Cao said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Qiong will soon be out of confinement. When she is out of confinement, she can serve the emperor in the bedchamber. If Concubine Qiong competes for favor at that time, can you still condescend to fight with her? It is better to raise Huanbi and let her compete and snatch favor. If Huanbi succeeds, Concubine Qiong will lose face."
After hearing what she said, Concubine Hua's attitude softened a little, but Concubine Cao continued to persuade her.
"Also, Madam, think about it. Last year, seven people were selected to enter the palace. Concubine Xia was disabled and sent to the cold palace. Concubine Wan died of illness. Concubine An was sentenced to death. Concubine Borjigit was a decoration. Concubine Chun was still young and had not been cuckolded. Concubine Shen was also demoted to a concubine and confined to Xianyue Pavilion. Among the newcomers, the only one who could sleep with him was Concubine Qiong.
Yu Da Ying, who showed up after New Year's Eve, committed suicide because she couldn't stand losing favor.
Among the people in our palace, only your Emperor Yikun Palace frequently comes in and out.
If this continues, if the emperor wants a new one, he can only hold another beauty pageant or select a good one from the palace maids. I think we should make preparations early."
Concubine Hua thought carefully about what Concubine Cao said and felt that it made sense.
Only then did he take Huanbi in and push her to serve tea to Yinzhen. Yinzhen felt that she was a bit like his Queen Chunyuan, so he accepted her. In one night, Huanbi became Queen Bi, and Yinzhen summoned her to sleep with him for four consecutive days.
It was not until Yi Xin officially came out of confinement that she appeared at the Sixth Prince's full moon banquet, radiant and radiant.
Yinzhen was immediately fascinated by her, and stayed in bed for ten consecutive days.
Yi Xin also became the most favored woman in the harem.
In September, the emperor returned to the palace.
Yi Xin moved directly to Yongshou Palace, but before she was settled in, she was invited over by the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother did not mention Honghui or the Queen in a single word, but her words were warnings to her implicitly. She also asked her to copy the Lotus Sutra a hundred times for Honghui to help him attain nirvana.
Yi Xin almost laughed.
The entire text of the Lotus Sutra has more than 80,000 words. The Queen Mother must be dreaming if she has to copy it a hundred times with a brush.
But in front of her, she still said honestly: "Yes, I will obey the Queen Mother's order and sincerely copy scriptures to pray for the eldest prince."
After Yi Xin returned to the palace, she took off her armor and began to write furiously.
Of course, what was written could not be the Lotus Sutra, but a letter to the Fucha family.
In addition to letters, there is another thing, which is the outline of the novel.
Yi Xin wrote a novel outline herself, and the story borrowed elements from Xiao Long Nu in The Return of the Condor Heroes.
The story tells that there was a girl named Linglong who had lived in seclusion with an old nun as a lay disciple since she was a child. After the old nun passed away, Linglong followed her master's last wish and went to find her master's son.
The old nun lost her son, was divorced by her husband's family, and was driven out by her parents' home, so she went to the dilapidated nunnery on the mountain to become a nun.
After the old nun died, she hoped that her disciple Linglong could come down the mountain to help her find her son.
Linglong has been self-sufficient with her master in the mountains since she was young, and has never known what life is like in the countryside.
Everything she saw was new and new. She saw a stall selling beautiful steamed buns, so she walked over, asked the owner for one, then took the bun and turned away.
The shop owner asked her to pay, but she said she had no money and she didn't know what money was.
The store owner thought she was trying to dine and free and refused to let her go.
When Linglong was in trouble, a kind-hearted young man appeared and gave two cents to the store owner on her behalf.
The young master realized that Linglong had probably never seen these things before, so he introduced them to her one by one.
He told her how much an egg cost, how much a pound of cabbage cost, how many coin a bushel of rice cost, how many coin a pound of soybean oil cost, etc. He also treated her to a lot of delicious food. When he knew that she was looking for someone for her master, he helped her look for that person.
At the end of the story, it is very cliché that the young man is the old nun's son. Later, the young man and Linglong got married, had a series of children, and went to the mountain to pay homage to the old nun.
Yi Xin told her father in the letter to ask her fourth brother Baozhu, who had the best literary talent in the family, to polish the contents of the outline and then sell it, so that all major bookstores in the capital could have copies of the book.
Yi Xin had a hobby, which was reading storybooks. Yinzhen knew this and tacitly agreed to the Fucha family sending her new storybooks every month. Yi Xin planned to mix this storybook in with the next batch of storybooks to be sent.
Although she was nominally in charge of palace affairs during this period, she did not usually care about it and mostly left it to Fangcao.
But as for the account books, Fangcao would always take the initiative to show them to Yixin after she finished her calculations.
Yi Xin just glanced at it casually and memorized the prices of many food items. Even though there was no comparison with the prices in the private sector, she could see that the prices in the Imperial Household Department were too high. So she planned that if the empress dowager pissed her off, she would expose the matter.
As a result, the Queen Mother really cooperated and found something for her to do as soon as she returned to the palace.
Well, then the Queen Mother should not blame her for punishing the Baoyi families!
Especially the bannermen family headed by the Empress Dowager's mother's clan, Uya. If this story is presented to them, Uya will be skinned alive if not killed!
Let her copy scriptures for her enemy's son?
What a shame!
In October, the war in the northwest was settled and Nian Gengyao returned to Beijing in glory.
Yinzhen specially invited Nian Gengyao and Concubine Hua to dine together in the Yangxin Palace.
At the banquet, Nian Gengyao was repeatedly disrespectful to Yinzhen, and even asked the imperial steward Su Peisheng to serve him the food personally.
You should know that Su Peisheng only served Yinzhen.
Nian Gengyao actually dared to let Su Peisheng serve him. What would Yinzhen think?
Are you, Nian Gengyao, coveting my throne? !
Yinzhen was full of anger, and after Nian Gengyao and Concubine Hua left, he started to fight in the Yangxin Palace.
Later, I still felt unsatisfied and wanted to vent on the bed.
Thinking of Yi Xin who was becoming more and more beautiful after giving birth, Yinzhen went straight to Yongshou Palace.
In Yongshou Palace, Yi Xin was lying on the Luohan bed, with her legs crossed and bare feet, eating the oranges that Lian Qiao had peeled for her while reading a storybook. She was so engrossed that she didn't even notice that Yinzhen had come in.
Yinzhen couldn't stand her carefree attitude, so he snatched the book from her hand and started reading it himself, which scared Yi Xin.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
"Why? I can't come? If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you were living such a good life."
Yi Xin smiled and said, "It's because of the Emperor's hard work in the front court that I can enjoy my life in the harem."
Even though it was flattery, Yinzhen felt particularly comfortable hearing it, and he was not as depressed as before. Seeing her eyes always on the storybook, he picked it up and continued reading, and found that the title of the book on the cover was "The Romantic Young Master and the Pretty Nun".
Yinzhen was speechless, "How dare you watch such vulgar things?"
Yi Xin put her hands on her hips and retorted, "Vulgar? How is it vulgar? This storybook is very interesting! It's not what the emperor thinks. The young man is just handsome but not really handsome, and the nun is not a real nun, but a lay disciple with long hair. The reason for choosing this name is probably to attract people to read it."
She spread out her fair and slender hands and pretended to be pitiful, "Your Majesty, I haven't finished reading it yet, please give it back to me!"
Yinzhen got angry and refused to give you whatever you wanted. He turned around and started reading from the first page.
Not to mention, Baozhu's writing style is really good. At least the beginning is very fascinating and even fascinated Yinzhen.
Yi Xin moved closer quietly and watched with him.
Yinzhen found out but didn't care. Yi Xin came closer and closer, and finally, feeling tired, she lay on Yinzhen's back and put her head on his shoulder, watching with great interest.
Finally we saw the key part, Linglong was rescued by the young master, who introduced her to the lives of ordinary people.
Then Yi Xin felt that Yinzhen's breathing was getting heavier and his chest was rising and falling more and more.
Suddenly, Yinzhen stood up so fast that Yi Xin almost fell.
Yinzhen then remembered that there was someone on his back, so he quickly helped Yixin up and asked her, suppressing his anger: "Your storybook is very interesting. Was it also sent by the Fucha family?"
Yi Xin nodded blankly, "Yes, mother sends me new storybooks every month. This month, she sent me eight books. I have read three of them. This is the fourth one."
Seeing that Yinzhen looked unhappy, he asked cautiously, "No, can't I watch it?"
Yinzhen asked: "Did you find anything wrong with the writing of this book?"
Yi Xin blinked, "What's wrong? I didn't notice it. I just started reading it not long ago. Then I followed you. You turned the pages too fast. My eyes couldn't follow you."
Suddenly she opened her eyes wide in horror, "Your Majesty, this isn't some banned book, is it?!"
She was so scared that she was shaking all over, and her tears were about to fall. "Your Majesty, my mother is not as knowledgeable as I am. It must not be intentional! Please don't-"
"That's enough!" Yinzhen quickly stopped her. He thought for a short while, and her thoughts almost flew away.
"That's not what I meant. I just think this book is well written. I like it very much. I want to take it back and read it."
"So that's how it is." Yi Xin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stopped crying. "Then Your Majesty, take it back and read it. Remember to return it to me after you finish reading it. I will be very worried if I don't know the rest of the story."
"Okay, I'll have someone give it to you after I've finished reading it. I have something else to do in the Yangxin Palace, so I'll leave first."
"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"
After Yinzhen left, Yi Xin suddenly thought of something.
She couldn't remember the exact time, but it should have been from the end of the second year of Yongzheng's reign to the middle of the third year of Yongzheng's reign. In order to confuse Nian Gengyao, Yinzhen made Concubine Hua a noble concubine. Yi Xin didn't want to pay homage to her at that time, so she decided to have a few children to reserve the position of noble concubine.
Yinzhen had been accompanying Concubine Hua these days. He finally found some time and came to Yixin's place. Yixin decisively swallowed three fertility pills.
Yi Xin had just taken the fertility pill, and less than half a month had passed when an epidemic broke out in Yikun Palace. Yi Xin secretly hated herself for having a stupid brain as she actually forgot such an important thing.
She immediately ordered the guards to wear white cotton scarves on their faces and block the gate of Yiku Palace. Only people could enter but not leave. If anyone violated the order, they would be killed directly without having to report it.
Concubine Hua was stunned on the spot, and Concubine Cao staggered in fear.
Concubine Hua was discussing with Noble Lady Cao about sending the tea set of the eunuch in Yiku Palace who had contracted the plague to Shen Meizhuang in Xianfu Palace, so that she would die of the plague.
Liu Bin, who diagnosed Shen Meizhuang's pregnancy pulse, simply packed up and ran away when the fake pregnancy was exposed.
Concubine Hua was afraid that he would be caught and then expose them.
Therefore, the best way is for Shen Meizhuang to die so that there is no evidence.
The two of them had discussed the matter, but before they could implement it, they were locked up.
Yi Xin is someone who has experienced the epidemic. She knows how tragic it is, so she will never allow anyone to deliberately spread the disease.
Even if she is Concubine Hua, so what? Yi Xin also has power in the palace.
Before giving the order, Yi Xin went to find Zeng Youming specifically to explain things to him, and took him with her to consult Yinzhen, using him to explain the severity of the epidemic. Yinzhen himself was afraid of death, so he immediately agreed to Zeng Youming's (actually Yi Xin's) way of epidemic prevention.
Yi Xin requested that all people in the palace who might be infected with the epidemic and those who have already been infected with the epidemic must be isolated.
Set up waiting area, mild disease area and severe disease area, and assign at least three imperial physicians to each area.
Everyone in the palace must wear a mask (modified from a white cotton towel) every day when doing work.
After using the mask every day, wash it with boiling water and dry it in the sun before reuse.
Everyone should wash their hands frequently, drink plenty of hot water, and keep at least an arm's length away from people around them.
Anyone who shows symptoms of the epidemic must report it immediately to their superior, who will immediately send the person to a waiting area to await a diagnosis by the imperial physician, and then send him to a designated area based on his condition.
Then they distributed mugwort leaves and white wine, and asked each palace to disinfect themselves.
At the same time, Yi Xin also specially recruited Wen Shichu.
Wen Shichu came back with Nian Gengyao. After coming back, he learned that his beloved sister Huan'er had died of a strange disease. He almost cried until his tears dried up. If his parents were not old, he would have wanted to follow Zhen Huan.
He did not suspect that Zhen Huan was attacked by someone, because Zhen Huan's illness was the result of a joint diagnosis by seven or eight highly skilled doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Moreover, Zhen Huan had not yet entered the emperor's bedchamber, so he felt that there was no need for others to harm her. It must be that the strange disease she had in her mother's womb had relapsed, which was why she died.
Wen Shichu had been on leave at home during this period, and this was the first time he was summoned by the Empress in the palace.
Yi Xin almost choked on her own saliva when she saw Wen Shichu's appearance.
Why is he so decadent like a homeless person?
"Doctor Wen, I know you've asked for leave, but I still have to invite you back. Now is a critical moment, you know that I hope the Imperial Hospital will unite as one and develop a prescription for the epidemic as soon as possible. The people of the Qing Dynasty are still waiting for you to save them."
"Yes, I will do my best."
Wen Shichu agreed without hesitation.
Although he was still sad for his sister Huan'er, the dead were gone now, and it was time for him, as a living person, to cheer up and work hard to move up so that he could better help Huan'er take care of the Zhen family in the future.
If Yi Xin heard his thoughts, she would be speechless.
I'm afraid he is not living only for Zhen Huan in this life?
At the gate of Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua had people knocking on the door, clamoring to get out.
The guards had received Yi Xin's instructions early on to lock the door tightly. Unless someone deliberately opened the door, Concubine Hua would never be able to get out.
Yi Xin's father, Ma Wu, was transferred by Yinzhen from the Minister of the Imperial Guard to the position of Minister of War some time ago.
The Grand Secretary of the Imperial Guard was a first-rank official, and the Minister of War was a junior-rank official. Yinzhen was afraid that such a transfer would make people think that he disliked Ma Wu, so he gave Ma Wu the title of Grand Guardian. Grand Guardian was a first-rank official, and when there was no crown prince, Grand Guardian was a sinecure. But with this title, no one would look down on Ma Wu.
Although Ma Wu no longer commanded the guards, his influence remained and there were many of his confidants among the guards.
Before he left, he specially promoted Fu Qing to the imperial court by one level. Now Fu Qing has been promoted from a blue-feathered guard to a third-class imperial guard of the fifth rank.
The guards were generally from the upper three banners, and many of them had family backgrounds no worse than Hua Fei, so they were not afraid of Hua Fei at all.
The guards who surrounded the Yikun Palace this time were all guards with good family backgrounds carefully selected by Fu Qing, so no one would be so stupid as to let Concubine Hua pass.
Not to mention how angry Concubine Hua was, even Concubine Cao was almost scared crazy.
She felt that Yi Xin wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Concubine Hua and herself, and she felt that she was afraid that she would not live long.
She longed to see Wen Yi, but was also glad that she did not bring Wen Yi with her to Yikun Palace this time, otherwise Wen Yi would have been trapped and died in Yikun Palace with her.
Concubine Cao sat on the ground in a mess, looking at the closed door and crying silently.
The queen was also dishonest. On the second day after the Yiku Palace was sealed off, she reached out to the Yongshou Palace. When Yi Xin discovered her, she immediately destroyed the utensils used by people infected with the plague that she had sent.
Normally, this would be the best time to send the Queen away, by simply letting her contract the epidemic. However, Yi Xin did not want to follow the Queen and Concubine Hua's example and deliberately let the epidemic spread.
He wanted to find other ways to get rid of the queen.
After sending someone to inquire about the queen's current living habits and daily diet.
Yi Xin learned that the Queen's mentality had changed drastically due to her disfigurement and half blindness. She was no longer as health-conscious as before and no longer followed the rule of not eating more than three meals a day. She also developed a habit of drinking before falling asleep every night.
Yi Xin suddenly thought of a famous saying from her previous life.
Cephalos with wine, just leave.
This means that you cannot drink alcohol within a short period of time after taking cephalexin. Similarly, you cannot take cephalexin so quickly after drinking alcohol, otherwise there is a high chance of passing out.
So Yi Xin quickly placed an order and bought a box of cephalexin, and had someone put it in the wine delivered to the queen every day. She also added some sugar to neutralize the bitterness and told the queen that this was newly brewed wine and the taste would be different.
The queen knew medicine, but not Western medicine. She thought that if there was no color change when checking with a silver needle, there would be no problem. She fell for Yi Xin's trick easily and was found dead in her bedroom by Zhi Xia the next day.
The Queen Mother suspected that the Queen was murdered, so she sent a midwife to examine the Queen's body and asked the imperial doctors to make a brief observation. They concluded that the Queen had no external injuries and no signs of poisoning, and that she died of heart palpitations.
The empress dowager was old, and she was so excited when she heard that the queen had passed away that she almost fainted. She was able to hold on until now because she was determined to find the real murderer for the queen.
After hearing what the midwife and the imperial physician said, she breathed a sigh of relief and fainted. The imperial physician also diagnosed that she had signs of a stroke, and told her that she could only be taken good care of and not to worry about her anymore.
So Yinzhen issued an order that no one would disturb the empress dowager while she was recuperating, which was tantamount to helping Yi Xin in disguise. She no longer had to go to Shoukang Palace to listen to the empress dowager's lectures.
Normally, when a queen dies, the funeral should be grand.
But everyone knew why the queen was under house arrest. Besides, there was an epidemic both inside and outside the palace, so it was not a good idea to let the ladies of honor enter the palace to mourn, for fear of being brought in by the epidemic.
Therefore, the Queen's funeral was kept simple. Her coffin was only kept in Jingren Palace for three days before being moved out for burial.
Yi Xin and the others cried in Jingren Palace for three days. Of course, they didn't really cry. The room was filled with a strong smell of garlic, ginger, and chili peppers, but no one said anything.
It was a good thing for Concubine Hua and Noble Lady Cao, as they were confined to Yikun Palace and did not have to suffer this punishment.
However, what Yi Xin didn't know was that when the two of them heard that the queen was dead, they didn't even have time to be happy, for fear that Yi Xin would attack them next.
They live in fear every day, can't eat or sleep well, and each one is more haggard than the other.
During this epidemic, Yi Xin's various prevention methods greatly reduced the number of people sick.
Wen Shichu also took the initiative to apply to go to the intensive care unit and worked day and night to research the prescription.
In just about half a month, Wen Shichu finally developed the final version of the epidemic prescription.
This time, Concubine Hua did not ask Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen to steal the prescription, so Wen Shichu's prescription was presented smoothly.
After asking Zhang Mi and other imperial physicians and getting a positive answer, Yinzhen was overjoyed and promoted Wen Shichu to the position of the right judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, a sixth-rank official.
With the addition of Zhang Mi, the left court judges, the left and right court judges of the Imperial Medical Bureau were now complete.
Above the left and right judges, there is a position of a fifth-rank director of the Imperial Medical Service. Director is the highest position in the Imperial Medical Service. Because the director of the previous emperor retired, the position has been vacant and has never been filled.
People who don't know the inside story might think that Zhang Mi and Wen Shichu would compete for the position of the court envoy.
But Yi Xin knew that Zhang Mi had helped the queen do a lot in the past, and he felt guilty and didn't dare to ask for too much. Besides, he was old, and he wanted to leave the palace more than get a promotion.
Therefore, it can be said that Wen Shichu has an almost limitless future in the Imperial Medical Service.
Yi Xin is determined to recruit such people for her own use.
One pill of loyalty and he will become one of us.
In the play, a big reason why Shen Meizhuang fell in love with Wen Shichu was that Wen Shichu took good care of her when she was suffering from the epidemic. Now he was interrupted by Yi Xin, and without this connection, it is unknown whether they will be together again.
But since Wen Shichu is already hers, she will not let Shen Mei get together with Wen Shichu again.
Speaking of Shen Meizhuang, her luck has actually come.
As soon as Wen Shichu presented the prescription, the Shen family found Liu Bin. Unlike Zhen Huan, the Shen family was not bold enough to bring the person directly to the emperor. They wrote a memorial and sent it to the emperor. Only after Yinzhen saw it was he summoned to the palace.
After Yinzhen learned the truth from Liu Bin, he immediately ordered Liu Bin to be executed.
Although Liu Bin said that it was Concubine Hua who instructed him to do this, Yinzhen knew that with Concubine Hua's brain, she could not come up with such a brilliant and sinister idea.
At that time, Concubine Hua was only accompanied by Concubine Li and Cao Qinmo.
The only one who could be considered as smart as Concubine Li is Concubine Cao.
So Yinzhen ordered Shen Meizhuang to be restored to Concubine Hui, and demoted Concubine Hua to Concubine Nian on the grounds of deceiving her superiors and subordinates. He took back the power to assist in managing the six palaces, demoted Concubine Li to Concubine Fei, and Concubine Cao was sent to the cold palace.
Bi Da Ying was still a palace maid at that time and did not participate in the incident, so she escaped.
When Cao Qinmo received the imperial edict, she was still thinking about asking Concubine Nian to save her, but Concubine Nian herself was so frightened that she had no time to care about her.
In the end, Cao Qinmo was half-dragged and half-pulled to the cold palace.
With Cao Qinmo's departure, Wen Yi's whereabouts became a problem.
Originally, Yi Xin was thinking of giving Jingpin a fake pregnancy pill to detoxify herself and then a pill to give birth to a girl, but Jingpin was eager to have a girl and came to Yi Xin for help.
Yi Xin thought that it would be better for Wen Yi to follow Concubine Jing, so that she wouldn't be taken away by Concubine Nian. Then she would smell the fragrance of Huanyi in Yikun Palace every day, which would affect her fertility.
"Then my sister will go to the Yangxin Palace right away."
"Okay! Whether this succeeds or not, I will thank my sister!"
Seeing Jingpin was about to kneel down to salute her, Yi Xin hurriedly held up her arm, "Sister, are you being distant with me? Go back and wait for my news."
When Yi Xin left, the news that she was pregnant for more than a month was revealed.
Yinzhen immediately promised her that after she gave birth to the child, he would make her a noble concubine.
After thanking her, Yi Xin pretended to be casual and mentioned Princess Wen Yi who was still being raised by her wet nurse.
Yinzhen also knew that now that Princess Shuhe had returned to Concubine Xin, it would be inappropriate to send Wen Yi back to the prince, so it would be better to find a foster mother for her.
Now, the only ones in the harem who are qualified to raise Wen Yi are Yi Xin, Concubine Duan, Concubine Qi, Concubine Jing and Concubine Nian.
Yi Xin already has Hong Zhao, and is now pregnant, so it is not convenient for her to raise another child.
Concubine Duan is sick and is not considered.
Concubine Qi only has the Third Prince in her heart, and she is afraid that she won't be able to take good care of Wen Yi.
Then only Jingpin and Nianpin are left.
These two women were those he owed, especially Concubine Nian, who even caused him to have an abortion.
In comparison, Yinzhen wanted Concubine Nian to raise Wen Yi.
Yi Xin saw what he meant and said, "I think Princess Wen Yi doesn't like Concubine Nian very much. I heard from the servants that every time the princess came out of Yikun Palace, she would cry and make a fuss, and sometimes she even had to call the imperial physician."
Yinzhen was a person who tended to think too much, but he was also confident that he understood Concubine Nian. She would not abuse Wen Yi, and there must be other reasons why Wen Yi did not like her.
As for the reason?
and many more!
Ask for a doctor?!
Yinzhen immediately thought of the Huanyi incense that was burned all year round in the Yikun Palace.
Yes, Huanyixiang has a strong fragrance, and children probably can't get used to it.
Besides, the things in that fragrance are not suitable for a girl like Wen Yi to smell.
So Yinzhen made a decision.
"Nianpin is not steady enough, so let Jingpin take care of Wen Yi."
Yi Xin thought that she had sent the Buddha to the west, so she continued, "Your Majesty, since Cao has been sent to the cold palace, it is not appropriate to register Wen Yi under her name, lest someone bring trouble to the princess when she grows up."
"My beloved concubine is really thoughtful. Then let's also register Wen Yi's Jade Butterfly under Jingpin's name."
Wen Yi was still young and could not remember anything, so Jingpin was fully capable of raising Wen Yi. She happily went to Qixiang Palace and brought Wen Yi back.
From then on, Wen Yi was Feng Ruozhao's daughter.
Concubine Nian was stripped of her title and demoted, and she also lost her think tank Cao Qinmo and the favor of Yinzhen. Now she learned that Yi Xin was pregnant again.
She was even more devastated.
"Why is she pregnant again? Why can't I get pregnant? If my child was born back then, it would have been ten years old, right? It's all the fault of that bitch Qi Yuebin! If it weren't for the bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine she sent, how could my child have left me! Qi Yuebin!"
Concubine Nian was already full of anger, and when she thought of the child she had lost, she took her men to Yanqing Palace and vented all her anger on Concubine Duan.
Concubine Duan was really strong. She was not dead after being tormented by Concubine Nian for so many years.
Although Yi Xin did not actually hold the power in the palace, she had the title and could not leave Concubine Duan alone.
Nianpin had previously only asked people to give her the promised share, so Yi Xin naturally couldn't continue to do so.
However, she did not restore her concubine's share, but gave her the share of a noble lady, because she felt that Concubine Duan was not a good person. Who would give pregnancy-preserving drugs to a pregnant woman for no reason? It was obvious that there was something fishy about her. She said that she was innocent, but Yi Xin thought that she had bad intentions and was taking advantage of her.
But she didn't expect that Concubine Nian was so tough. She directly forced her to drink a bowl of strong safflower, completely killing her offspring.
In addition to these, Yi Xin also sent an imperial physician to see her. This imperial physician also relied on Yi Xin. After taking Concubine Duan's pulse, he revealed Concubine Duan's pulse condition to Zeng Youming, who then relayed it to Yi Xin.
After hearing this, Yi Xin knew that her guess was correct.
That bowl of safflower would never make Concubine Duan so sick and weak. She was indeed a little weak, but it was more of an act.
Bi Da Ying is just a fence-sitter.
Seeing that Concubine Nian had fallen out of favor, she wanted to go to Shen Meizhuang for help again.
Shen Meizhuang resented Bi Da Ying for betraying her master and joining her enemy, so she ridiculed Bi Da Ying. In the end, Bi Da Ying left Xianfu Palace with a lot of resentment.
The feud between the two began.
After Shen Meizhuang's injustice was cleared, Yinzhen went to her Cunju Hall the next day. He thought he would be warmly received by her, but he never expected to see an extremely cold face.
That look and that attitude all said, "Please leave!"
Yinzhen was also a man with a bad temper. He felt that since he was the emperor, everyone had to flatter him, so how could anyone treat him coldly?
So he didn't want to wrong himself and turned around and went to the place where Zhong Cui and Gong Bi agreed.
Shen Meizhuang wanted to live the rest of her life in peace, but someone wanted to make things difficult for her.
That person was Concubine Nian.
Concubine Nian blamed Shen Meizhuang for having her title stripped, her rank demoted, and her palace power taken away from her.
After hearing that Yinzhen had visited her, she had someone poison her the next day.
However, she was afraid that Shen Meizhuang's symptoms were the same as Zhen Huan's, which would arouse other people's suspicion, so she did not give Zhen Huan the overseas poison.
Only the common arsenic was used.
She had poisoned Shen Meizhuang in the Old Summer Palace but she had escaped. She didn't believe that Shen Meizhuang would be so lucky this time.
But what she didn't know was that Shen Meizhuang had become much more cautious since the last time, and would check every meal with a silver needle before eating.
So this time, he still discovered that he had been poisoned.
She didn't even need to check, she knew it must have been Concubine Nian who did it.
After all, this incident had happened once before in the Old Summer Palace.
"Caiyue, I wanted to just stay in Cunju Hall, but you see, Concubine Nian is still unwilling to let me go. I can't just sit there and wait for death."
"What does the young lady mean?" Caiyue asked excitedly. She really didn't want to see her young master remain silent any longer.
"The Emperor let Concubine Nian off so easily. I can no longer place my hopes of revenge on him. I want to win favor! I want to become the Emperor's favorite concubine. I want Concubine Nian to be jealous of me, but she can't do anything about it. I want to avenge myself personally. I want her to die!"
Shen Meizhuang clenched her fists, and the veins on her hands tensed up. Just by seeing this, Caiyue knew that her young mistress had made a great decision.
"My lord, whatever you do, I will support you."
"Okay Caiyue, please go to the Imperial Hospital to find Doctor Wen for me. I have been too haggard these days, and I need him to prescribe some beauty-enhancing prescriptions for me."
Shen Meizhuang had beautiful thoughts, but Yi Xin had already instructed the Imperial Hospital that Wen Shichu would only look after Yi Xin's health in the harem, except for Yinzhen and the royal heirs.
The Imperial Medical Bureau sent an imperial physician who was good at health preservation to Shen Meizhuang. Shen Meizhuang was not very familiar with Wen Shichu at that time, so she did not force him to be her imperial physician. After learning that this imperial physician was also recuperating Princess Wen Yi's health, she felt at ease to use him.
After Yinzhen saw Yi Xin's script, he immediately sent Xia Qian from the Sticking Rod Department to investigate.
Xia Qian could find out this little thing by visiting a morning market, and soon presented the prices of goods in the capital to Yinzhen.
After reading it, Yinzhen was so angry that he smashed the teacup on the table.
He said angrily: "How dare you!"
Xia Qian immediately knelt on the ground obediently, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Yinzhen spun the eighteen pieces of paper and was silent for a long time before he said, "The people in the Imperial Household Department are so bold, I think there must be a precedent. First, check the situation of the Imperial Household Department during the time of the previous emperor, and then check the current Imperial Household Department. I want to know the names of these termites."
After receiving the order, Xia Qian immediately began a secret investigation. Because a large number of people were involved, the investigation lasted more than three months.
When Yinzhen saw Uya, the first person on the list, he didn't know what to say.
In fact, he had expected this, but he did not expect that Uya was the one who was most corrupt.
It makes sense. During the time of the previous emperor, they had Concubine De backing them up. Now that Concubine De has become the empress dowager, they are naturally even more daring.
Yinzhen hated corruption the most, and he would not let Uya go. However, the empress had just passed away in December last year, and the empress dowager almost had a stroke because of it. If she knew that he was going to deal with Uya, her body might not be able to bear it.
But if he was asked to wait until the empress dowager passed away before taking any action, he could not bear it.
So after weighing the pros and cons, he ordered his men to block the news about Shoukang Palace.
He summoned all the princes, dukes, beile and important officials such as Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi into the palace, showed them the comparison between the prices in the capital and the prices in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and discussed together how to deal with the matter.
Everyone originally thought that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, and that as long as people are greedy for a little profit and it is not excessive, there is no need to pursue it. But what did they see in the end?
An egg cost 2 wen in ordinary households and 2 liang in the Imperial Household Department.
By conversion, one egg from the Imperial Household Department is equivalent to 1000 eggs from ordinary people.
As for the price of cabbage, the common price was 2 to 3 wen per catty, while the Imperial Household Department calculated it at 3 liang per catty.
This is the case with vegetables and eggs, not to mention meat. Pork costs 40 wen per pound in the common people, while the Ministry of Internal Affairs charges 10 taels of silver per pound.
Zhang Tingyu was a man of upright character and was the first to express his opinion.
"Your Majesty, I think the Ministry of Internal Affairs is so corrupt that it must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"
Ma Qi also gave his own suggestions.
"Your Majesty, there are many bondservants involved in this matter. If we are not careful, your safety may be endangered. I think that although this matter must be severely punished, we must also make full preparations and not leak the news, lest those people escape in advance, or they are desperate and want to do something in the palace."
Everyone, including Yinzhen, thought Ma Qi's words made sense.
Several people discussed how to prevent the Baoyi from counterattacking or escaping, as well as some subsequent action plans, and finally decided to schedule the time for the night of February 2nd, when the Dragon raises its head.
That night, almost all the palaces were occupied by guards who took away several people.
Some of them were the confidants of the ladies, but the guards were following the orders of the emperor, so they did not dare to stop them.
They were just all very worried, thinking that something had happened and they were implicated.
It was not until the next day that everyone sent people out to investigate and found out that this was the case in all the palaces, and they finally put their minds at ease.
However, what they did not find out was that all the so-called bannermen families outside the palace had their properties confiscated.
The amount of gold, silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even tributes from foreign countries that were carried out of their homes was innumerable.
The onlookers were initially panic-stricken, thinking that some terrible literary inquisition had occurred or that some members of the White Lotus Sect were rebelling again.
As a result, when they saw the carts full of gold, silver and jewelry, they realized that the home of some corrupt official must have been raided, and they all shouted that they deserved it.
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue counted the money all night long, and the abacus beads were almost worn out. It was only three days later that the settlement was completed.
When Yinzhen succeeded to the throne, there were only 8 million taels of silver in the national treasury. Over the years, the homes of some corrupt officials were raided and silver and grain were sent to the Northwest Army. By the beginning of March in Yongzheng's reign, there were only 14 million taels of silver in the national treasury.
After this confiscation of property, the amount of silver in the national treasury directly exceeded 100 million, and the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and tributes from foreign countries were also stored in Yinzhen's private treasury.
Now that he has money in his pocket, Yinzhen feels like he walks with the wind.
It's just that he is free and easy, but the Queen Mother is not in good shape.
The Empress Dowager's network of contacts could not be completely cleared out by Yinzhen in just one night.
Someone still delivered the news to Shoukang Palace. When the empress dowager learned that Uya's property had been confiscated and she had been demoted to a commoner, she fainted.
When I woke up, I found that I had suffered a complete stroke and was paralyzed in bed.
But even though his mouth was a little crooked, he could still speak.
When he saw Yinzhen, he scolded him for disregarding family ties and attacking his own uncle.
Yinzhen and the empress dowager did not have a deep mother-son relationship. Seeing that she was still concerned about her family even in such a state, he directly reported the Uya family's actions, which included corruption and bribery, as well as occupying people's land and abducting women.
Any one of them could cost them their lives.
The Queen Mother then calmed down, but no one knew what she was thinking.
After the cleaning of the palace, many people were killed, including Yi Xin.
However, she still has the power in the palace and can continue to make arrangements, which is much better than others.
Yi Xin is already four months pregnant, and her belly is already as big as that of a woman about to give birth.
Zeng Youming had diagnosed that there was more than one baby in her belly early in the morning. Now, four months into the pregnancy, it was finally confirmed that she had three babies in her belly.
Zeng Youming naturally reported such a big thing to Yinzhen.
When Yinzhen found out, his first thought was that he was really amazing. Others gave birth to one child, but he gave birth to three!
That's right, Yinzhen has attributed all the credit to himself.
He was so excited and happy that he went to his private treasury himself and selected many rare treasures that he had seized during the confiscation of property. It was thanks to Yi Xin's storybook that he was able to fill the national treasury and his own private treasury, so the gift he gave this time was particularly valuable.
Yi Xin looked at them one by one, and her eyes were almost overwhelmed.
"Your Majesty, are these all given to me?"
"Of course, these are all carefully selected for you. How about it? Do you like it?"
"I like it!" Yi Xin liked it so much that she was drooling.
Yinzhen liked to see her silly and cute appearance, so he wanted to pick her up and throw her on the bed to have some affection with her.
But he was still rational and knew that Yi Xin's pregnancy this time was different from the last time. This time she was pregnant with three children. Yinzhen was afraid that he would lose these three children if he was not careful, so he could only wander around the part above her belly.
He kissed and rubbed her, which aroused Yi Xin so much that she wanted to push him down, but she took the initiative and he quickly backed away.
Yinzhen stroked her fur to comfort her while breathing heavily, "Be good, after you give birth, I will come to you every day."
"Imperial Physician Zeng said that I will definitely give birth prematurely this time. They should be born before Hongzhao is one year old. By then... hum..."
Yi Xin's eyes were full of charm, Yinzhen couldn't help swallowing, thinking that Yi Xin was really a seductive little devil.
Yinzhen was afraid that he would lose control next, so he quickly kissed Yi Xin again and ran away.
Not long after, Yinzhen issued an edict to restore Concubine Nian to the position of Concubine Hua.
The reason was that Nian Gengyao's second son Nian Fu suppressed the rebellion in Zhuozi Mountain. In addition, since Hua Fei was demoted, Nian Gengyao had been submitting memorials to express his regards for Hua Fei, saying that Hua Fei was neglected in the palace, and he felt uneasy as a minister.
To put it bluntly, it was forcing Yinzhen to restore Hua Fei to the throne.
Yinzhen never responded to Nian Gengyao's memorial until the news of Nian Fu's military achievements came to him, and he had no choice but to reward the Nian family.
But the Nian family was now at its peak, and he really didn't want to give the Nian family any more respect, so he gave the reward to Nian Shilan in the harem.
After the news of Concubine Hua's restoration came.
Everyone in Yikun Palace was very happy, except Concubine Hua herself, who was not so happy because she received a letter from home and learned that her second nephew had won military merit and that was why she was able to be restored to the throne.
But being restored to the throne does not mean regaining favor. She would feel uneasy as long as Yinzhen did not come.
Even more unhappy were the concubines in the harem.
Especially Shen Meizhuang, who was framed by her for faking pregnancy to win favor, she wanted to eat her flesh and drink her blood.
The other concubines have also been bullied and targeted by Concubine Hua to varying degrees. It can almost be said that Concubine Hua has offended the entire palace.
Concubine Jing and Noble Lady Xin came to see her on purpose. Since they were not with their children, Yi Xin guessed that they came to her to talk about something.
Jingpin asked: "Sister, after the restoration of Concubine Hua, will it have any impact on us? Will the emperor let us give her half of the palace power?"
Concubine Xin was also a little anxious. "Now that the queen has passed away, the harem is left without a master. When the queen was still alive, Concubine Hua dared to covet the position of queen. Now that the queen is gone, will the emperor be interested in her..."
The three of them had been together for a long time, and Yi Xin no longer deliberately pretended to be stupid in front of them. Since the two of them had already stood on Yi Xin's side, they naturally hoped that she was a smart person who could lead them to the end.
So when Yi Xin stopped pretending, instead of thinking that she was scheming, they all felt lucky and thought they had followed the right person.
That's why the three of them had no reservations when they spoke.
"According to my understanding of the Emperor, it is very likely that he will not appoint another Empress, and at most he will appoint an Imperial Noble Consort. The choice of this Imperial Noble Consort will naturally be between the two Imperial Consorts. When my pregnancy was diagnosed, the Emperor promised me that he would make me an Imperial Consort after I gave birth to the child."
"Then congratulations, sister."
"Yes, I also congratulate Her Majesty!"
Seeing that the two were truly happy for her, Yi Xin continued:
"Don't be too anxious to congratulate me, sisters. You still have your own happy events to attend. I will then propose that the Emperor confer titles on the six palaces, promoting Sister Jingpin to be a consort, Sister Xin, Noble Lady Hui, and Noble Lady Borjigit to be concubines, and the others will also be promoted one level higher."
"Thank you so much, sister."
Although Jingpin usually doesn't fight for anything, she is about to be promoted to a concubine, so how can she not be happy?
"I am just taking advantage of your majesty."
Concubine Xin smiled so hard that her teeth were almost showing. Apart from Shuhe's marriage, her biggest wish was to become the mistress of a palace. In another four or five months, this wish would come true. How could she not be happy!
"You don't have to worry about Concubine Hua. Not to mention that the emperor only restored her position, she didn't get the emperor's favor or the power in the palace. Sister Jingpin, I heard that Concubine Hui in your palace is using a beauty recipe. I guess she is trying to win the emperor's favor. You can help her during this period of time. Concubine Hua hates Concubine Hui the most now. If she sees Concubine Hui competing for favor, she will definitely find a way to compete with her. People have limited energy. If they have time to compete for favor, they won't have time to ask for power in the palace. We have to find something for her to do."
Jingpin was a smart person. After hearing what she said, she immediately agreed, "Don't worry, sister. I will definitely help Hui Guiren."
Concubine Xin rolled her eyes and said, "How can Concubine Hui alone be enough? The two madams may have forgotten that there is still someone in this palace who has never slept with you."
Yi Xin and Jing Pin looked at each other and both thought of someone.
"It's Concubine Chun!" said Concubine Jing.
"Yes, Chun Changzai is already seventeen years old. I will ask Chun Changzai for her opinion. If she is willing, I will help her to sleep with the emperor as soon as possible." Yi Xin said.
Yi Xin is very efficient in doing things.
After Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin left Yongshou Palace, Yi Xin sent someone to invite Concubine Chun over and asked her if she was willing to sleep with her.
The result is naturally affirmative.
So Yi Xin asked Chun Changzai to imitate her previous life and dress up more prettily and pick a plum blossom to bring in when Yinzhen came to Yongshou Palace.
"Chun Changzai seems to have grown a lot taller?"
"Your Majesty, you forgot that I am already seventeen years old."
So that night, Chun Changzai naturally slept with the emperor.
The porcelain in the Yikun Palace was shattered again.
Everything happened as Yi Xin expected.
Concubine Hua has no time to think about palace power. She is now concentrating on competing for favor with Shen Meiyu and Concubine Chun.
In addition to the three of them, Concubine Xin and Bi Da Ying also joined the competition for favor.
Bi agreed and had a lot of plans. On the one hand, she ran to Hua Fei for help, and on the other hand, she met Yinzhen by chance in various ways. Although her methods were cliché, they were really effective. They were so effective that Hua Fei wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.
"That bitch Concubine Qiong was pregnant and couldn't sleep with the emperor, so she let that bitch Fang Chunyi sleep with him. And Shen Meizhuang, who wants to cling to the emperor every day, is also a bitch. It's okay that the emperor gave Concubine Xin some face for Princess Shuhe, but who is that Huanbi? Don't think that I don't know. When I was demoted, she ran to Shen Meizhuang to show her pity. Unfortunately, Shen Meizhuang ignored her, so she came to me for help. I accepted her regardless of the past, but she dared to compete for favor behind my back. Damn it! You should think of a way to help me get rid of Shen Meizhuang and Huanbi!"
Looking at Concubine Fei who was like a quail, Concubine Hua felt extremely angry.
"Don't you have a mouth? Can't you speak?!"
"My concubine, my concubine can't think of a solution." Fei Changzai felt very aggrieved. Usually, she was not the one who came up with ideas. She was just an executor.
Hua Fei paused, and suddenly thought that she could ask Cao Qinmo. Although Cao Qinmo was in the cold palace, she was not dead. Besides, she could threaten her with Wen Yi, so she was not afraid that she would not come up with a good idea.
However, the cold palace was an unlucky place and she didn't want to go there. Thinking of this, she glanced at Fei Changzai.
Well, it's her.
So Fei Changzai went to the cold palace with the task assigned to her by Concubine Hua.
She brought up their past friendship and threatened her with the Cao family and Wen Yi. Cao Qinmo was so upset that she wanted to cry but had no tears. She had even been sent to the cold palace, but she still couldn't escape the clutches of Concubine Hua.
From Fei Changzai's narration, Cao Qinmo keenly discovered that Shen Meizhuang and Bi Da Ying had turned against each other.
She took advantage of this and came up with a good idea to kill two birds with one stone.
So, under the intentional or unintentional instigation of Concubine Hua, Bi agreed to hear that Shen Meiyu looked down on her.
Bi Da Ying was the most competitive person. When she was a servant, she always felt that she was superior to others. She looked down on An Lingrong who came from a small place, even though An Lingrong was the master and she was the servant.
Now that she has become a mistress, she can no longer be arrogant even if she wants to.
Because she has the lowest position, she has no capital to be arrogant.
But even so, she couldn't stand anyone looking down on her.
Especially since this person is Shen Meizhuang, who is also her old master and had previously rejected her request to join him. The two of them are already standing on opposite sides.
Now that Bi Chen knew that Shen Meizhuang looked down on her, she hated Shen Meizhuang even more.
Every time Yinzhen came to Shen Meizhuang's place, she would find something to call Yinzhen over.
Once or twice, Shen Meizhuang thought she was really in trouble. The third time, Shen Meizhuang couldn't stand it anymore, and dared to mock Bi in front of Yinzhen for agreeing to do such a lowly thing.
Yinzhen also knew that he shouldn't slap Shen Meiyu in the face again and again, so he scolded Bi and asked her to leave.
A few days later, Bi promised that she would have continuous bleeding during her period, so she quickly asked someone to call the imperial physician.
The imperial physician diagnosed that she had a large amount of safflower in her body. Because she had taken the safflower during her menstrual period, her condition was quite serious. Even if she took care of herself for a few years and cured the safflower syndrome, it would be difficult for her to get pregnant again.
Bi agreed to break down on the spot and go to Yinzhen to make the decision for her.
Later, under the instigation of Concubine Hua, Yinzhen ordered a search of the palace. Concubine Hua had people hide red flowers in Cunju Hall in advance, hoping to pin the blame on Shen Meiyu.
Yinzhen was skeptical as to whether it was Shen Meizhuang who did it.
Because he had indeed seen Shen Meizhuang and Bi Ying arguing with his own eyes, so she had a motive.
But he also knew that Shen Meizhuang was a proud person, and she probably didn't have the energy to deal with a maid who was born as a slave.
However, he did not jump to conclusions this time. Instead, he said to Jingpin: "Jingpin, I will leave this matter to you and Fangcao to investigate. I want to know who dares to stir up trouble in my harem now."
Concubine Jing hurriedly responded.
Then Yinzhen looked at Shen Meizhuang, who had an upright posture even when kneeling and a cold and arrogant expression, and his suspicion of her was reduced a little.
"Mei'er, I believe in your innocence, but I also need evidence to clear your name. Before the truth is revealed, I will have to inconvenience you to stay in Cunju Hall for some time."
Although it was a disguised form of house arrest, Shen Meizhuang was relieved that Yinzhen was willing to believe her. She never expected Yinzhen's love, but only his trust. He disappointed her last time when she was falsely pregnant, and she hoped that he would not disappoint her this time.
"It's good that Your Majesty is willing to believe me. I am upright and I have nothing to fear. I believe that Concubine Jing and Aunt Fangcao will definitely clear my name!"
When Yinzhen heard that Shen Meizhuang had red flowers, he brought Su Peisheng to Xianfu Palace.
When Shen Meizhuang was interrogated, besides Su Peisheng, only Jingpin was around, so Hua Fei didn't know what Yinzhen was thinking. She only heard that Shen Meizhuang was under house arrest.
Concubine Hua thought her plan had succeeded and she had eliminated two of her bedmates at once. She was so happy that she didn't know what to do.
But then she found out that Jingpin and Fangcao were checking whether Bi had agreed to be raped by Li Honghua.
Yi Xin had already told Fang Cao the whole story she had found out, so Fang Cao followed the direction given by Yi Xin and led Jingpin to Qixiang Palace to investigate first.
There is a Concubine Fei living in Qixiang Palace now. Jingpin found out that not long before Bi Daiyu got into trouble, Concubine Fei went to Yiku Palace, then went to the Cold Palace, and finally started to implement this idea.
Although there is no clear evidence, Jingpin and Fangcao may think that this level of investigation is enough.
Then they reported it to Yinzhen.
After hearing this, Yinzhen felt speechless.
The Concubine Hua has just been restored to the throne, why is she so dishonest again?
And there was Fei Yunyan and Cao Qinmo, who were demoted or sent to the cold palace one after another, yet they still had the mind to do such vicious things.
Then several decrees came down.
Hua Fei became Hua Bin, Fei Changzai was sent to the cold palace, and Cao Qinmo was directly sentenced to death.
Bi agreed to be promoted to Changzai and was given the title Wan, and from then on she was Wan Changzai.
Of course, Shen Meizhuang was also released from Cunju Hall. In order to compensate her, Yinzhen summoned her to sleep with him for three consecutive days.
Wan Changzai was not a fool. After looking at these imperial edicts, she knew who the real murderer was. But she also knew that she had little influence and had no maternal family in the eyes of outsiders. Even if she dared to say that the Zhen family was her maternal family, the Zhen family was far inferior to Nian Gengyao.
She could only work hard to keep her body healthy, try to sleep with him as soon as possible, and then find a way to avenge herself.
Without Zhen Huan, Yinzhen did not promote Zhen Yuandao to the position of Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate. He was still an ordinary Junior Official of the Dali Temple. It was not his turn to impeach Nian Gengyao.
However, Yi Xin felt that this was a good thing. At least he would not be jealous of Guarjia Emin and then report to Yinzhen that he collected the traitor's poetry collection, and his family would not have to worry.
Of course, the premise is that Wan Changzai would not suddenly go to petition Yinzhen in order to allow her mother's tablet to be placed in the Zhen family ancestral hall.
Otherwise, the charge that Zhen Yuandao secretly took in the daughter of a criminal and brought her into the palace as his legitimate daughter or maid would be enough to condemn Zhen Yuandao and his family to a lifetime of wandering in Ningguta.
At the end of May, because of the drought outside the palace, it had not rained for nearly two months, so Yinzhen planned to go to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain, and then stay in Ganlu Temple for a few days to pray for the country.
Originally, the emperor and the empress should have gone together, but now there was no empress, so Yinzhen had to go alone.
Otherwise, if any concubine was brought along, the previous dynasty would think too much and think that he was going to make her the heir.
Yi Xin's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Ten days later, when Yinzhen came back, Yi Xin also went into labor in Yongshou Palace.
This time, there was no Queen to interfere, and Yi Xin gave birth to three little princes smoothly.
It was also the first time for Jingpin to see triplets. She looked at them very carefully and then discovered a blind spot. "Your Majesty, look, although they are triplets, the three little princes look different."
Yinzhen was just happy just now. After all, the child was born just after he prayed for rain. He felt that these three children must be blessed.
I was still considering whether to name the children Fu Lu Shou when I heard Jingpin's words and immediately looked at it carefully.
When I found out that it was just as Concubine Jing said, I became even happier.
"Pass on my decree, promote Concubine Qiong to Noble Concubine Qiong, and hold the canonization ceremony after one month. From now on, all concubines will go to Yongshou Palace to pay respects to Noble Concubine Qiong."
It was within everyone's expectation that Yi Xin would be promoted to Imperial Concubine, but the right to pay respects was beyond everyone's expectation.
The concubines each had their own thoughts.
Concubine Qi was indignant because she felt that her third prince was Yinzhen's eldest son and would inherit the throne in the future, so she should be given the title of noble concubine. However, she only dared to think about it but not speak it out.
Huapin couldn't hide the jealousy in her eyes. That was the right she had always dreamed of, and Yixin got it so easily. But she was out of favor again this time, and she was already uneasy in her heart, so she didn't dare to say anything more.
Both Concubine Duan and Noble Lady Borjigit were not there.
Among the remaining people, Shen Meizhuang was envious and Wan Chang was jealous.
Jingpin, Xin Guiren and Chun Changzai are all hers now, so naturally they can only be happy for her. After all, the higher Yi Xin's status, the better their lives will be.
Because of the drought this year, no one went to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat. Now that there were so many people here, the smell of powder, spices and sweat mixed together was so unpleasant that Yinzhen was afraid of choking the three little princes, so he quickly asked everyone to disperse.
Yinzhen also hurried into the palace to visit Yi Xin. Yi Xin was in good health and did not fall asleep after giving birth.
Yinzhen took her aside and said a lot of words to thank her for her hard work, and then said that he wanted to name the three little princes Fu Lu Shou.
Yi Xin was completely speechless. What kind of a weird name was this? And...
After thinking about it, Yi Xin asked him: "Has the emperor forgotten Prince Zhuang? I remember his name was Yunlu. If the emperor gave our little prince this name, wouldn't it be the same as Prince Zhuang? Besides, when the emperor named Hongzhao before, didn't he also come up with many other names? I think those names are very good."
Yinzhen was also interested for a moment, but he thought that it would be difficult to have the same name as Prince Zhuang since he had the same brother. After all, this brother was still very loyal to him, and he couldn't slap him in the face.
What's more, none of these three names are derived from the character "日", so Yinzhen finally gave the children names derived from the characters "日", which he chose from the names he had thought of when naming Hongzhao.
The seventh prince was named Hongxing, the eighth prince was named Hongchen, and the ninth prince was named Hongyao.
Originally, Yinzhen disliked the eighth and ninth generations the most.
But Hongchen looks very much like Yi Xin, and Hongyao looks very much like Yinzhen.
Yinzhen didn't think there was anything wrong with these two rankings.
The two of them coaxed the child for a while, and then let the wet nurses take the child away to feed him.
Yi Xin held Yinzhen's hand, put it on her face, and pressed it against him dependently. As if that was not enough, she rubbed it like a kitten, which made Yinzhen feel very itchy.
If Yi Xin hadn't spoken, he would have kissed her.
"I am really happy to be a noble concubine, and I am very grateful to Your Majesty. However, I feel a little uneasy that I was promoted so quickly after entering the palace. Why don't Your Majesty promote me and my sisters at the same time? It will save money if you do it together than hold the ceremony for each of them one by one in the future. What do you think of my idea?"
In fact, Yinzhen also intended to confer titles on the six palaces.
Because Nian Gengyao had been going more and more outrageous recently, he even teamed up with his followers to submit a memorial in an attempt to force him to restore Huapin's position. What's even more outrageous is that Prince Dun also got involved and wrote a memorial praising Huapin a lot.
Yinzhen had always suspected that they had private dealings, and now it was confirmed.
He knew that Prince Dun was a restless man who was always thinking about the eighth and ninth brothers who were imprisoned in the clan house. If Nian Gengyao got involved with Prince Dun, the consequences would be very serious.
In order to confuse them, Yinzhen planned to restore Huapin to the throne, but he did not want to give face to Nian Gengyao, so he came up with the idea of conferring titles on the six palaces. When Yi Xin brought it up this time, Yinzhen agreed to it directly.
"Then let's promote Jingpin and Huapin to concubines, Hui Guiren and Xin Guiren to concubines, and Chun'er to noble lady. Wan Chang was just promoted not long ago, so she won't be promoted for now. As for Qi Fei and Duan Fei, I will have people give gifts to them."
"Your Majesty, don't forget about the noble lady Borjigit. She is from Mongolia. It would be bad if everyone else was promoted and she was left behind. Also, her surname is too long. Your Majesty should give her a title."
"If you don't mention it, I really can't remember her for a while, so I will also promote Borjigit to be a concubine, grant her the title of He, and promote her together with the rest of you."
"Then I, the concubine, would like to thank the emperor on behalf of my sisters."
As soon as Yinzhen left Yongshou Palace, he announced the decree to confer titles on the six palaces.
Anyone with a brain could guess that this decree was requested by Yi Xin, and almost all those who were promoted were grateful for Yi Xin's advice.
Except for Concubine Hua, although she was happy that she could be restored to the throne, she became furious and kept throwing things and hitting things when she thought that she would have to perform the enthronement ceremony with everyone else, and that she was probably able to be restored to the throne thanks to Yi Xin.
In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother was not happy about having three more grandchildren. What she was thinking was that Concubine Hua would step down sooner or later, and by then, Yi Xin's family would probably be the only one in charge of the harem.
She didn't want this kind of situation.
Moreover, now that Uya has become a commoner, and Ulanara has no capable people in the previous dynasty, if they want to continue the family glory, they can only focus on the harem and think of the girls of Ulanara who have grown up.
The Queen Mother called Yinzhen to Shoukang Palace.
He was told to count the number of concubines in the harem, and on the grounds that there were too few concubines and not enough royal heirs, he asked Yinzhen to hold a beauty contest to enrich the harem.
In fact, Yi Xin had already been mentally prepared for Yinzhen's selection of concubines.
Because there were indeed too few people in the harem, and the queen had been gone for more than half a year, Yi Xin didn't believe that the empress dowager would allow the harem to be without anyone from the Ulanara clan.
Forget about Uya, common people can't enter the palace.
Yi Xin proposed to confer titles on the six palaces in order to quickly occupy all the main positions before the new people entered the palace.
The harem now has:
Royal Concubine: Royal Concubine Qiong (Yi Xin)
Four concubines: Hua Fei, Duan Fei, Qi Fei, Jing Fei
Six concubines: Yupin, Xinpin, Huipin, and Hepin
Noble: Chun Noble
Changzai: Wan Changzai
The main positions are almost full, and it will be difficult for newcomers to be promoted.
In addition to bringing in new people to the harem this time, Yi Xin also plans to arrange the marriage of the Third Prince.
The Third Prince is 16 years old now. He can't be like in the drama, where he is dragged by the Queen until the tenth year of Yongzheng's reign, when Ulanara Qingying grows up and he is 23 years old before choosing a wife, right?
(Subtract five years from Hongshi's real age, otherwise he is too old and does not fit the plot. In history, Hongshi was adopted by the eighth brother in the fourth year of Yongzheng's reign and died in the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign.)
Yi Xin was not worried at all about the Third Prince entering the court after his wedding. First of all, with his intelligence, whether Yinzhen allowed him to enter the court was one thing. Secondly, if Hong Zhao, who had taken the enlightenment pill, was still not as good as a fool, then he would not have to fight for the throne, so as not to cause the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the suffering of the people.
After Yi Xin reminded him, Yinzhen remembered that he still had an eldest son who had not married. Not only that, he didn't even have a princess to serve him in his room.
Yinzhen didn't think there was anything wrong with him. He felt that it was all the fault of the Queen and Concubine Qi. One of them was his stepmother and the other was his biological mother, and they should have arranged all these things early on.
In fact, the fourth prince Hongli and the fifth prince Hongzhou were only two years younger than the third prince. However, Yinzhen thought that they were not in a hurry and should wait for another two years.
So this time, Yinzhen decided to choose the third prince's wife as well when selecting concubines.
After learning about this, Concubine Qi immediately went to find Yinzhen and confidently said that her son was worthy of the daughters of high-ranking officials from prominent families such as Fucha, Niuhulu and Tonggiya. She wanted Fucha to be the principal wife, and Niuhulu and Tonggiya to be concubines.
Yinzhen couldn't bear to watch it, so he asked Su Peisheng to ask the people to leave, and then wrote Dong E's name on the paper.
Although Dong E was also from a prominent family and her father was a minister, the reputation of the women in the Dong E family was not so good because the family had a favorite concubine, Dong E, during the Shunzhi period.
Although Yinzhen did not think highly of Hongshi, he would not mistreat his son by choosing the daughter of a minor official. He also felt that choosing the daughter of other important officials would be unfair to them, so Dong E was the most suitable one.
The talent show is not something that can be completed overnight. After Yi Xin finished her confinement and had the canonization ceremony, the other girls had just entered the preliminary selection stage.
Although Yinzhen asked all the concubines to come to Yongshou Palace to pay their respects.
However, Yi Xin did not act too arrogantly, but asked everyone to come and pay respects on the second and sixteenth day of each month. She did not even mention the first and fifteenth day, because the first and fifteenth day were considered important days for the queen in the harem. If she chose these days, she would inevitably be suspected of coveting the position of queen.
If Yinzhen wanted Yi Xin to be the queen, she would be willing to do so.
If he didn't want to, Yi Xin wouldn't mind, because she valued the position of Queen Mother more.
Perhaps realizing that she could not do it alone, and with a new person about to enter the palace, Concubine Hua actually brought Songzhi out to sleep with her a year in advance. Since then, there has been another concubine, Zhi, in the Yikun Palace.
Even though Zhi's promise was just a promise, she felt that her backers were Nian Gengyao and Concubine Hua, and she actually embarrassed Yi Xin when she paid her respects. When she saluted, she bowed slightly like her master, and before Yi Xin could say anything, she stood up and sat down.
Yi Xin almost laughed out loud.
Yes, Nian Gengyao had made another contribution recently, so Concubine Hua was given one third of the palace power and became rampant again. Even Yinzhen had to coax her in order to appease Nian Gengyao.
So Yi Xin can't touch Concubine Hua for the time being.
But who are you, Songzhi?
Yi Xin ordered on the spot that Song Zhi should kneel at the gate of Yongshou Palace for two hours and copy the palace rules fifty times. She could sleep with him only when she finished copying.
Concubine Hua wanted to refute, but the concubines present, except for Yi Xin's people, were neutral and resented her. If Concubine Hua acted aggressively alone, she would only make a fool of herself.
Yi Xin remembered that Zhen Huan had a rival named Zhen Yurao who looked more like Queen Chunyuan, so she directly ordered people to have her eliminated after the re-selection.
In early August, the palace selection began, and Yinzhen specially invited Yi Xin to participate in the palace selection together.
In fact, it was Yinzhen who did most of the choosing. After choosing, he would occasionally ask Yi Xin what she thought of her. What could Yi Xin say? Of course she would say yes.
Finally, the third prince's wife was chosen, and Yinzhen also arranged two beautiful girls from the Han army banner to be his concubines.
Yinzhen selected six people for his harem.
They are:
Manchu flag: Guarjia Wenyuan, Ulanara Shuyan, Irgenjueluo Peilin
Han Army Flag: Xu Yanyi, Shi Yiyun, Jiang Qiner
However, Yinzhen looked obviously impatient when he chose Ulanara Shuyan. It seemed that the empress dowager must have pressured him to choose this person by using filial piety.
Yinzhen gave the task of locating and dividing the palace to Yi Xin.
Yi Xin asked her own people whether they wanted to have new people into their palace.
Concubine Jing, Concubine Xin and Noble Lady Chun all wanted it.
Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin are content with having a daughter and don't want to be disturbed.
Concubine Chun wanted to compete for favor herself and didn't want the newcomer to enter the Yanx Palace to compete with her for favor.
Finally, Yi Xin determined the positions and palaces for the concubines according to their status:
Guaerjia was granted the title of noble lady and lived in Changchun Palace
Ulanara was given the title of Changzai and the title of Rou, and lived in Yonghe Palace
Yiergen Jueluo clan was granted the title of concubine and lived in Qixiang Palace (the main seat was Shen Meizhuang)
Xu was granted the title of noble lady and lived in Jingyang Palace
Shi Shi made a promise to live in Jingyang Palace
Jiang's concubine lives in Zhongcui Palace
Among them, Ulanara Shuyan was originally the daughter of a branch of the Ulanara family. Her father's official position was only the sixth rank, and she could have been given the title of a concubine at most.
However, the Empress Dowager personally sent someone to order that Ulanara Shuyan be given a permanent position, and also personally bestowed the character "Rou" as her title, and allocated to her the Yonghe Palace where she lived when she was Defei.
Yi Xin understood the meaning of the word "rou". She simply wanted Yinzhen to think more about Empress Chunyuan Ulanara Rouze, and then look after Rou Changzai more often.
After Yi Xin handed Yinzhen the list of positions and the memorial regarding palace allocations, she told him the empress dowager's instructions.
After hearing this, Yinzhen frowned and did not reply.
After a while, he said to Yi Xin: "Your arrangement is very good, but the surnames of the Manchu military flags are too long and inconvenient to pronounce. So let's give the Guarjia clan the character Rong as the title and the Irgenjueluo clan the character Shun as the title."
In this way, Rouchang's only special feature was diluted by Yinzhen's magical operation.
On the fourth day of September, the concubines of the Manchu army entered the palace
September 8th: Han army flag concubines enter the palace
The third day after the bride enters the palace is the day for the audience with the emperor.
Concubine Duan asked for leave as usual, and Concubine He was exempted from paying respects, so she didn't need to come. The rest of the old people were all present.
Xiao Linzi: "All the ladies pay their respects to the Imperial Concubine."
All the newlyweds: "I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine. May the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good health."
Yi Xin raised her hand slightly, "Sisters, please stand up."
After they got up, Yi Xin also started to speak the high-sounding words that the Queen often said.
"From now on, all the sisters must serve the emperor wholeheartedly and give birth to many children for him. At the same time, you must get along well with your sisters and not get jealous and upset the emperor. Well, that's all I have to say. Xiao Linzi, take the new lady to meet the concubines."
Xiao Linzi: "All the ladies pay their respects to Her Majesty Hua Fei."
Hua Fei picked up the teacup, took a sip, and turned to look at Yi Xin, as if she didn't notice them squatting.
"All the new sisters are young and fresh. I wonder if the emperor will still remember us old ones after seeing them. Imperial Concubine, what do you think?"
Concubine Hua used to challenge the Queen, and now she challenges Yi Xin.
The difference is that the Queen tolerates her, but Yi Xin will not tolerate it.
"We, the concubines, cannot speculate on the emperor's thoughts. If Concubine Hua has nothing else to say, please tell the sisters to get up."
"You-" Hua Fei was retorted by Yi Xin for the nth time. She gritted her teeth and told everyone to stand up.
He also called out Rong Guiren Guaerjia Wenyuan and Rou Chang in Ulanala Shuyan separately to praise them openly and criticize them secretly.
Yi Xin counted on her fingers and figured that she could only be rampant for one year at most.
A year later, Nian Gengyao fell from power, and it was unknown whether she could survive.
In less than two months, Yinzhen summoned all the new ladies to sleep with him.
Among them, his favorite is Guaerjia Wenyuan, but Yi Xin thinks that his move may also be intended to let Emin do a good job for him and collect evidence of Nian Gengyao's crimes.
Yi Xin thought that it would not be good if no one else in the palace was pregnant except herself. Now she was the most powerful person in the six palaces. If no one else's child was born in the harem except hers, someone would definitely suspect her.
So she picked Concubine Chun from among the old people and gave her a pill to give birth to a girl.
November 16th is the day when all the concubines come to Yongshou Palace to pay their respects.
After Yinzhen came down from court, he went straight to Yongshou Palace without even changing out of his court robes.
"I have something to discuss with the imperial concubine. Since you are all here, you may as well listen. This morning, the Junggars sent someone to the court to ask for a marriage. "They asked for a princess of the Qing Dynasty to be their Yingge Khan to be the princess, so as to reassure the people of the border. We need to decide on a candidate as soon as possible and marry her off in ten days."
The only concubines with daughters in the harem now are Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin, but it is obviously impossible for them to have daughters, as they are both too young. However, when talking about marriage, both of them looked unhappy.
Seeing this, Concubine Hua deliberately said, "It's a pity that Shuhe and Wenyi are too young. Otherwise, as princesses of the Qing Dynasty enjoying royal tributes, they should share the country's worries."
What he got in return were their gazes as cold as swords.
Without the queen, no one would take the initiative to mention Princess Chaogui, so Yinzhen himself said Chaogui's name.
Hua Fei immediately said, "Princess Chao Gui's biological mother is just a noble lady. Even if the emperor arranges a marriage for her in the future, it will only be to a middle-class family. It would be better for her to marry into Junggar as a princess, which is both respectable and noble."
Yi Xin was listening with her eyes almost rolled to the sky. If she had known earlier, she should have given her a pill to give birth to a girl so that she could give birth to a daughter herself. Just to see if she would still say such heart-wrenching words.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say to you in private. Can you please let my sisters leave first?"
Yinzhen looked a little surprised. This was the first time he saw Yi Xin so serious. Curious about what she wanted to say, he waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.
After everyone left, Yi Xin said to Yin Zhen: "Your Majesty, I just heard what you said and I felt something was wrong."
Yinzhen paused with the Eighteenth Piece in his hand, looked at her seriously, and asked, "What do you think is wrong?"
Yi Xin shrank her neck, raised her eyebrows carefully, and looked at Yinzhen, "I said, Your Majesty, please don't blame me for having wild thoughts."
Yinzhen: "Just say it, I also want to hear your thoughts."
"Your Majesty, when I was still in my boudoir, I heard from my father that Junggar Khan Yingge had passed his seventieth birthday, and the late emperor even sent someone to send him a birthday gift. Now that a few years have passed, I guess he must be seventy-four or seventy-five, right?
I was thinking, why did he ask for marriage at the age of seventy-five, instead of earlier or later?
And you're asking for it so urgently?
This reminded me of a storybook I had read before, which was about the richest man in a city who was old and frail. The doctor diagnosed that he would not live for more than a few months, so the doctor told him to make preparations early.
The richest man refused to accept his fate, so he went to a Taoist priest to tell his fortune. The priest said that as long as he married the most beautiful woman in the city as his wife, he would be able to escape death.
The richest man valued his life, so he immediately sent people to find the beauty, and a few days later he held a wedding banquet.
As a result, the richest man died three months later.
It turns out that the Taoist priest was in cahoots with the beauty. After learning that the richest man was about to die, they came up with this idea to bring good luck so that the beauty could inherit the family business openly.
This story is not very interesting, but I feel that Yingge Khan's approach is similar to that of the richest man.
Your Majesty, if this Yingge Khan really wants to get married, then isn't he insulting our Qing princess? This is simply outrageous!"
In fact, what Yi Xin wanted to say was that Yingge was about to die. Once he died, Junggar would definitely make a fuss and fight for the position of Khan. This was the perfect opportunity for the Qing Dynasty.
Sure enough, Yinzhen also thought of this. He suddenly became happy when he thought of this, and pulled Yi Xin and kissed her on the forehead.
"Yixin is the one I love the most!"
"Your Majesty, do you think what I said is right? I think that Yingge Khan insulted our princess so much, we should beat him to a pulp..."
Yi Xin kept talking non-stop. Yin Zhen was afraid that he would have a headache if she continued to listen, so he quickly said to her: "Yi Xin, don't tell anyone else what you just said to me. I have other plans. Later, I will still issue an order for Chao Gui to marry, but the wedding will not be in ten days, but in May next year. You take Concubine Hua and Concubine Jing to prepare first, and wait for my order."
Yi Xin didn't know whether Chao Gui could avoid the disaster after the new Khan was elected. Even if she couldn't, it was better than marrying a dying old man and then marrying his son after he died.
Although Yinzhen did not tell Yi Xin what happened afterwards, Yi Xin learned from the letter from the Fucha family that the emperor sent Prince Guo, Yue Xing'a (Longkodo's eldest son) and Sakecha (Ma Wu's eldest son) to secretly lead troops to leave Beijing and go to Junggar to investigate Yingge's physical condition. If it was true as Yi Xin said, they would take the opportunity to capture Junggar.
If they could really do it, it would change history, after all, they would have controlled the Junggar region more than 30 years earlier.
But even if this war starts, it will probably take at least three to five years to end.
Yi Xin didn't ask any more questions afterwards and focused on the harem.
Years ago, Concubine Chun's pregnancy was diagnosed.
Yinzhen issued an edict to grant Concubine Chun the title of Yue and the treatment of a concubine, and from then on Fang Chunyi was Concubine Yue.
With a pregnant woman in the harem, the new concubines began to compete for favor even more vigorously.
But they had been fighting for half a year, and Princess Leshan of Fang Chunyi was born safely, but they still had no good news.
In May, Princess Chaogui got married anyway, but her husband was not Junggar, but the eldest son of Ma Jia, a second-rank academician who was the president of the Hanlin Academy.
After Yingge Khan died of illness at the beginning of the year, his sons and grandsons began to fight for the position of Khan, fighting and killing each other. In the end, only Moge and a few brothers who supported him were left alive. They thought they were going to win, but they didn't know that the mantis was stalking the cicada, and the oriole was behind.
The Qing army waited until this time, and the two groups started fighting.
Yinzhen took the opportunity to dispatch part of the Northwestern Army to dilute Nian Gengyao's power.
In June, after a long period of preparation by Concubine Qi, the Third Prince finally got married.
But after the wedding, Yinzhen still did not let him enter the court, and he stayed in the Shangshufang to study. People who don't know would definitely think that Yinzhen was afraid of the third prince, but in fact, Yinzhen was simply afraid that the third prince would be stupid enough to embarrass him if he entered the court.
After Fang Chunyi gave birth, it was time for Prince Dun to send a message to Nian Gengyao, asking him to help him rebel.
In order to confuse Nian Gengyao and Prince Dun, Yinzhen named Concubine Hua as Noble Concubine Hua, Noble Concubine Yue as Concubine Yue, and Concubine Zhi as Concubine Zhi.
Rou Changzai was also arranged by the Empress Dowager to take advantage of this opportunity and was given the title of Rou Guiren.
After Hua Fei became Hua Guifei, she felt that she was the same as Yi Xin. The concubines went to pay their respects to Yi Xin on the second and sixteenth day of the lunar month, so they had to pay their respects to her on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
Yinzhen also agreed. After all, the two imperial concubines should not be favored over one another.
So the concubines' hard days began. Although there were only two days each month, they had to smell the rich fragrance of Huan Yi, sit for two or three hours, and when they performed the ceremony, the time would be deliberately delayed. They also had to listen to her ridicule. Everyone was exhausted both physically and mentally.
However, smart people, or those who got the news in advance, although they were suffering physically, knew in their hearts that Concubine Hua was about to fall.
Yinzhen received news that Prince Dun was still planning a rebellion even without Nian Gengyao's help.
At night, he came to Yi Xin's place and after they made love, Yinzhen told Yi Xin that he wanted her to take the children to Penglai Prefecture.
How could Yi Xin agree to this? If she agreed, it would be like she was afraid of death, although she was indeed afraid of death.
But Prince Dun's rebellion was as easy as playing, and he believed that Yinzhen would quickly get rid of him just like in the drama.
So she said to Yinzhen with tears in her eyes: "I want to accompany the emperor! I believe that good will prevail over evil, and the emperor will definitely win! If, if that day really comes, I am willing to die with the emperor! Our family will be reunited down there!"
Yinzhen was indeed moved after hearing this, and hugged Yi Xin tightly in his arms.
Yi Xin leaned against his chest in dependence, but what she was thinking in her mind was that after Concubine Hua passed away, Yinzhen would definitely be wary of her as the highest-ranking concubine in the harem. She might have to give birth to two more children, buy the smart voice surveillance that was worth points, and monitor Yinzhen's movements.
When you purchase smart voice monitoring, you can get 8 360-degree invisible cameras. Each camera can monitor the situation within a radius of 100 meters. You can also set automatic reminders. For example, you can set the monitoring to automatically remind you as soon as Yinzhen appears.
It can also be placed in someone else's bedroom to monitor them. It is a powerful weapon for palace fighting. Apart from being expensive, there is nothing wrong with it.
This time when Prince Dun rebelled, Prince Guo was far away in Junggar and could not help, but Yinzhen had more than one brother, Prince Guo, there was also his dearest thirteenth brother, Prince Yi.
With the help of Prince Yi, Prince Dun ceased to exist overnight. He was demoted to a commoner by Yinzhen and imprisoned in Prince Dun's Mansion along with his family.
When Prince Dun fell, Nian Gengyao, who was on good terms with him, became embarrassed.
However, he did not need to be embarrassed for long, as there was a continuous stream of memorials impeaching him, but Yinzhen kept them in his pocket for the time being and did not send them out.
After Concubine Hua found out, she lived in fear every day and the concubines were no longer required to pay their respects to the Yikun Palace.
But who would have thought that Nian Gengyao, relying on his military achievements, still challenged the emperor's authority and wrote "朝乾夕提" as "夕阳朝乾" instead of "朝乾夕提", which praised the emperor for his diligence in government affairs. This made Yinzhen very angry in the Yangxin Palace, and the memorial was sent back to Qinghai without any imperial approval.
However, Nian Gengyao not only did not change, but also listed his military achievements in the memorial, hoping to use his military achievements to tell Yinzhen that he was a meritorious official of the Qing Dynasty and that Yinzhen could not punish him.
Afterwards, Yinzhen joined forces with his confidants to impeach Nian Gengyao in the court again. This time Yinzhen showed no mercy and ordered Nian Gengyao to be removed from his post as Governor-General of Sichuan and Shaanxi and changed him to General of Hangzhou.
When Zhou Ninghai heard the news, he hurried back to tell Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua knelt down in the Yangxin Palace and begged for mercy, but Yinzhen was inside listening to Shen Meizhuang playing the piano.
Shen Meizhuang had never felt so happy before.
It was Concubine Hua who humiliated her in the past, and now it was time for her to humiliate Concubine Hua.
But this was not enough. The next day, Shen Meizhuang joined forces with Wan Chang to report Concubine Hua, revealing once again how Concubine Hua framed Shen Meizhuang for faking pregnancy to win favor, and how she put the blame on Shen Meizhuang for Huanbi and Li Honghua.
Although Yinzhen had known about this matter for a long time and had already taken action, he had never made Hua Guifei's crimes public.
So he issued an edict to demote Concubine Hua to the rank of Nian Guiren, and Zhi Changzai to the rank of Zhiguan's daughter. They were confined to the Yiku Palace and were not allowed to leave, and no one was allowed to visit them.
Shen Meizhuang was not willing to accept that she did not get the result she wanted.
Fortunately, a few days later, it was reported that Nian Gengyao had actually instructed others to retain the post of Governor-General of Sichuan and Shaanxi for him. He looked so arrogant, as if he was sure that Nian Gengyao would come back.
Yinzhen was furious when he heard this, and again ordered Nian Gengyao to be demoted to a city gate guard.
Shen Meizhuang specially sent someone to deliver the news. After hearing the news, Concubine Nian fainted on the spot.
When she woke up, there was new news.
When Nian Gengyao was guarding the city gate, he wore a yellow jacket and paraded through the streets, which caused rumors among the people, blaming Yinzhen for being an unkind and unjust monarch.
Yinzhen originally wanted to spare Nian Gengyao's life. Anyway, his position had been stripped away, so whether he lived or died had no effect on Yinzhen.
But what Nian Gengyao did was simply stepping on Yinzhen's bottom line.
This time Yinzhen finally couldn't bear it anymore, and ordered Nian Gengyao to commit suicide. His son Nian Fu was executed, and all the 15-year-old boys in his family were sent to guard the border.
After Nian Gengyao's death, almost everyone in the palace believed that Yinzhen would deal with Nian Shilan by sending her to the cold palace or executing her.
But Yinzhen did not move for a long time, as if he had ignored this person.
Just when everyone thought that Nian Shilan could only be like this.
One night, news of the death of Nian Shilan and Songzhi came from Yikun Palace.
Yinzhen was in a trance for a moment, and after a while he asked Su Peisheng: "What did you say?"
Su Peisheng bent over with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, the noblewoman from Yikun Palace and the girl from Zhiguan committed suicide by hitting her head against the wall."
"impossible!"
This was Yinzhen's first reaction.
"I have never issued an order to execute Shilan, so how could she commit suicide? Someone must have murdered her. Su Peisheng, go and investigate it yourself!"
After giving instructions to Su Peisheng, Yinzhen also rushed to Yikun Palace with Xiao Xiazi.
At that time, all the people in the harem gathered at the gate of Yiku Palace, but Yinzhen had issued an order that no one could go in to visit, so Yi Xin and the others waited at the gate.
Seeing Yinzhen rushing over, everyone bowed and greeted him, but Yinzhen ignored them all with a cold face and went into the Yikun Palace by himself.
Yi Xin would not let herself squat in the middle of winter, so she stood up after Yinzhen went in.
At the same time, she held the mentality that the law should not punish the masses, and said to the other concubines: "It is freezing cold, sisters, please go back first. As for the funeral ceremony of the nobleman next year, I will discuss it with the emperor."
After everyone left, Yi Xin also entered the Yikun Palace.
The first thing I saw was two blood splatters next to each other on the wall.
As well as the two women lying horizontally under the wall, and Yinzhen standing above them.
Yinzhen squatted down and looked at Nian Shilan's calm and pale face, which was covered with blood and tear marks.
In Yinzhen's impression, Nian Shilan was always unrestrained and passionate.
But now.
A tear fell uncontrollably, he picked up Nian Shilan and laid her on the bed embroidered with a tent with hundreds of children and grandchildren.
"Shilan, you and I have been married for many years. You are much younger than me. Why are you going to leave me and go ahead of me?"
Perhaps because Zhen Huan did not appear in this life, Yinzhen's feelings for Nian Shilan, although not as deep as when they were in the palace.
Yi Xin didn't say anything until Yinzhen recovered and noticed her.
"Why did you get in?"
There was a cold tone in these words.
Yi Xin knew that Yinzhen must have suspected that someone had said or done something to Nian Shilan, which led to her suicide.
Yinzhen's attitude at the door just now was to suspect all of them equally, naturally including Yi Xin.
But Yi Xin was really wronged. She had no grudge against Nian Shilan, so why would she harm her?
In order to avoid leaving any doubts in Yinzhen's mind, Yi Xin followed.
"Your Majesty, after I heard about Concubine Nian's suicide, I felt that she was not someone who would commit suicide, so I wanted to help Concubine Nian find out if anyone had harmed her."
After she said this, Yinzhen's suspicion of her instantly dropped by more than half, but he asked her again.
"I know that Shilan has sinned against many people in the past, and many people wish she would die. Don't you think so?"
"Of course I don't think so!"
Yi Xin explained: "Although I always have verbal disputes with Lady Nian, I have never harmed her, and she has never harmed me. If you wish someone to die just because of a quarrel, that would be too vicious."
In fact, God is telling her that she not only does not want Nian Shilan to die, she also wants her to live well. Otherwise, she is the only one in charge of the harem now, and Yinzhen will start to be afraid of her sooner or later even though he doesn't feel anything now.
"I have already sent Su Peisheng to investigate this matter, so you don't need to continue investigating. In addition, I plan to posthumously confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Shilan, with the posthumous title of Dunsu. Her funeral ceremony will be left to you and Concubine Jing."
"Yes, I will go to discuss it with Sister Jingfei right away!"
When Yi Xin left, she passed by Song Zhi who was still lying on the ground.
Alas, her position as a concubine was in vain, and Yinzhen didn't even mention her.
The ancestral rules of these funeral ceremonies are still there, and they can be carried out just by following them. However, in order to show her intentions, Yi Xin specially placed the crab powder that Nian Shilan liked on the left side of the incense burner. On the right side, she asked the embroidery workshop to make peony flowers with velvet flowers overnight.
Yinzhen didn't say anything when he came to burn incense, but Yi Xin could tell from his eyes that he was satisfied.
According to palace rules, if a concubine committed suicide, it would bring disaster to the family.
Although Nian Gengyao and Nian Fu were dead, relatives of Nian Shilan's father Nian Xialing and eldest brother Nian Xiyao were still alive.
Nian Xiyao was different from Nian Gengyao. He was a man who knew how to be a minister and was also loyal to Yinzhen. Yinzhen did not want to punish them and make Nian Shilan feel uneasy in the underworld, so he announced to the public that Noble Consort Dunsu died of heart palpitations.
Now that Shilan's position is Imperial Noble Consort, all concubines below this position need to keep vigil for her.
The same is true for Yi Xin.
After finally guarding the soul for seven days.
Concubine Duan is also gone.
Yi Xin immediately thought of Nian Shilan's death.
Concubine Duan clearly held on to the end in the drama. Now that Nian Shilan is dead, she should come out of retirement. It is impossible for her to disappear so quietly. It can only be because Yinzhen found out that Nian Shilan's death was related to her.
Or rather, she was the one who forced Nian Shilan to death.
As for how to force?
She just needs to tell the origin of the bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine and the secret of Huan Yi Xiang.
Sure enough, Yi Xin's guess was correct.
Yinzhen ordered that the palace be short of funds. Concubine Duan was a person who was indifferent to fame and wealth, so her funeral was held according to her status as a noble lady. There was no need to stop the body, and the body could be taken away directly.
The disdain in his expression was almost obvious.
The people in the harem are not fools, and they have guessed something to some extent.
Even though Yinzhen had not entered the harem for two months this time, no one dared to go to the Yangxin Palace to seek favor and bring bad luck to Yinzhen.
After the New Year, it is now May.
Yinzhen suddenly announced that he would bring back Concubine Yu and the Fifth Prince from the Rehe Palace, as well as the Fourth Prince from the Old Summer Palace.
Yi Xin knew that Yinzhen was afraid of her.
After Nian Shilan's death, there was no one in the harem who could compete with her.
This was a huge violation of Yinzhen's balance.
So this time, Concubine Yu did not simply return to the palace. Yinzhen also arranged for her to go to Chengqian Palace and promoted her position. Now she is Concubine Yu.
If you didn't know, you would probably think how much Yinzhen liked her.
Only then was the palace that had always been the favorite concubine given to her.
In fact, it was only because Jingren Palace was the former residence of the Queen and could not be lived in, and Yikun Palace was the former residence of Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu, that Yinzhen also ordered the palace to be closed.
Among the twelve palaces in the east and west, apart from these two, the only two palaces without a main seat are Yonghe Palace and Chengqian Palace.
However, the Empress Dowager's distant niece, Guiren Rou, lived in Yonghe Palace. Everyone with a discerning eye knew that the Empress Dowager would definitely support her to become the head of the palace and would not give the main hall to Concubine Yu. So Concubine Yu could only live in Chengqian Palace.
It's impossible to banish the prince's biological mother to the remote Suiyuxuan and Yanqing Palace, right?
The Fourth Prince did not arrange for an adoptive mother. I guess Yinzhen himself felt that a sixteen-year-old boy was old enough to get married and did not really need an adoptive mother.
Yi Xin didn't care about Yinzhen's checks and balances on her, but checks and balances were one thing and she still wanted her position.
Now Hongzhao is three years old, and Hongxing, Hongchen and Hongyao are two years old.
It was time for her to have another baby.
This time she was going to give birth to twins, a boy and a girl. She didn't believe that Yinzhen would not promote her with such a good omen.
No one seemed surprised that Yi Xin was so fertile.
I think she has the physique that is rumored to be easy to get pregnant.
Yi Xin was not the only one who was pregnant this time. Concubine Xu from Jingyang Palace and Lady Jiang from Zhongcui Palace were also pregnant. This was of course the result of Yi Xin's drugging.
There were suddenly three more pregnant women in the palace, which brought a lot of joy.
After ten months of pregnancy, Yi Xin gave birth to the tenth prince Hong Sheng and the fourth princess Ming Xi.
Yinzhen hugged Mingxi and smiled with wrinkles on his face. Yi Xin almost wanted to turn her head away, but she still pretended to be weak and forced a smile.
"Your Majesty, now all the six names you gave Hong Zhao when I gave birth to him will be used."
"Yes, when you said you wanted to keep giving birth and use all the names, I just thought it was a joke. I didn't expect you, Yi Xin, to be so lucky and actually gave birth to six children for me."
"It can be seen that the emperor is very wise. If the emperor had given ten or eight names, I would definitely be able to continue giving birth. Unfortunately, the imperial physician Zeng said that giving birth to multiple babies in a row has damaged my foundation, and I am afraid I will not be able to have any more children in the future."
The more Yi Xin spoke, the more frustrated she seemed.
Because Yi Xin instructed Zeng Youming to tell Yinzhen that she couldn't have children, and also to say that she was having bleeding and could no longer serve him in the emperor's bed.
He also said that she had injured her body this time and needed to take good care of herself, otherwise it would shorten her lifespan.
Yi Xin didn't like that Yinzhen was on guard against her while at the same time trying to have sex with her.
And if he is capable, then Yi Xin can just treat him as a bed partner.
But now he is not so good, maybe because he is too old.
How could Yi Xin not be annoyed by this?
So in order to no longer have to deal with him, I simply stopped sleeping with him.
Yinzhen was actually a little afraid to favor Yi Xin because she was so fertile.
He now has eight sons, five of whom were born to Yi Xin.
He was also afraid that if he continued to favor Yi Xin, she would continue to give birth.
But if he didn't favor her, people would think she had fallen out of favor. When he was struggling with this, he heard Zeng Youming say that Yi Xin was not in good health and could not sleep with him.
For Yinzhen, this was simply great news.
From now on, he doesn't have to stay overnight in Yongshou Palace. He just needs to have meals with her often.
Little did he know that Yi Xin was hoping he wouldn't stay overnight.
Yinzhen comforted her a lot and finally announced that he would make her an imperial concubine after she finished her confinement.
As usual, Yi Xin proposed the suggestion of conferring titles on the six palaces.
Yinzhen just happened to have the same idea, so he agreed.
The two concubines who had sons, Concubine Qi and Concubine Yu, were made noble concubines, and Concubine Jing enjoyed the share of a noble concubine.
Concubine Xin and Concubine Yue were promoted to concubines.
Concubine Xu, who was about to give birth, was promoted to concubine and given the title Zhen, becoming the head lady of Jingyang Palace.
Rong Guiren Guaerjia was also promoted to concubine. She did not move to another palace, but chose to stay in the side hall of Changchun Palace. Because there was no vacant main seat in the twelve palaces in the east and west (Jingren Palace and Yikun Palace were sealed palaces), if she wanted to move, she could only go to Suiyuxuan, Yanqing Palace or other remote small palaces. She didn't want to go to any of them, so she was willing to stay.
Concubine Rou was once again arranged by the Empress Dowager and was given the opportunity to be promoted to a concubine. She is now the head of Yonghe Palace.
In addition to the two of them, there is also a concubine from Mongolia.
Shun Chang was promoted to Shun Guiren in the Irgen Jueluo clan.
Wan Chang was a noble lady in Huanbi Jinwan.
Shi Da Ying and the pregnant Jiang Da Ying were promoted to Changzai and given the titles Kang and Min respectively.
Not long after, Zhenpin gave birth to the fifth princess Yunhe, and Minchang gave birth to the eleventh prince Hongchang. They were promoted to noble ladies by Yinzhen and allowed to raise Hongchang alone.
Normally, children born to concubines below the queen should be handed over to the queen to raise.
But Concubine He was the successor to Concubine Min, and Yinzhen did not want the Mongolian concubine to control the prince, nor did he want Concubine Min to move to the palace which would be so obvious, so he could only order her to raise the child herself.
During the period when Yi Xin was recuperating, she would often summon Zeng Youming and Wen Shichu, and occasionally summon Kang Ning for the children's health.
He looked sick so that Yinzhen would be at ease.
Yi Xin also bought smart voice surveillance and installed the first surveillance camera in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. She also installed another one in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When she was bored, she could watch how Yinzhen attended the morning court and understand the movements of the previous dynasty. Although the empress dowager was paralyzed, Yi Xin was afraid of any accidents, so she also placed one in the Shoukang Palace. She also placed one at the gate of the Yongshou Palace. Yinzhen had a hobby of eavesdropping, and she was afraid that she would accidentally expose her true nature, so she had to install one to feel at ease.
In this year, the fourth prince Hongli and the fifth prince Hongzhou were both 17 years old, and Yinzhen appointed Tong Jia and Wu Zhaku as their respective legitimate wives.
At the same time, Hongli also asked for an imperial decree, asking Yinzhen to give Ulanara Qingying to him as a concubine, and Yinzhen gladly agreed.
This time, Yi Xin went to ask Yinzhen for help in the marriage of her cousin Fu Cha Langya, and he gave her to Yunxi as his wife.
Yunxi was a younger brother who was still studying in the Shangshufang. His biological mother was a Han Chinese with no family background. Yinzhen only loved him, so he did not fear him even though his wife's family was of noble status.
After Yunxi, Hongli and Hongzhou, the three uncle and nephew, got married one after another, Yinzhen generously conferred the title of Duroberel on them, together with Hongshi who got married two years ago, and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to start selecting a site outside the palace for them to build a mansion.
However, only Yunxi was given the title, which was Shen Beile.
The three of them were called the Third Beile, the Fourth Beile, and the Fifth Beile respectively.
It is not an easy task to select a site and build the Imperial Household Department. Anyway, they will not be able to leave the palace for at least two or three years, so they will all live in the palace for the time being.
After Yunxi got married, he was arranged by Yinzhen to work in the Ministry of Revenue, where he served as a fifth-rank official and learned about the ministry's affairs from the ministers.
As for Yinzhen's own three princes, he did not allow any of them to enter the court.
There is no need to talk about Hongshi. He has been as stupid as ever for ten years. There is really no need to send him to the court to be disgraced.
Over the past year or so, Yinzhen has also seen through the personalities of Hongli and Hongzhou.
Let's talk about Hong Zhou first. He was in poor health when he was young, so Concubine Yu doted on him especially and treated him like a child. All he wanted to do all day was play, and he would feel sleepy when he read. Not to mention inheriting the throne in the future, Yinzhen felt that he had to be prepared to support this son for the rest of his life.
Hongli was smart and worked hard, but there was one thing about him: he was too scheming. What made him most unbearable was that he was eyeing his throne.
Hongli was also very bold. He dared to plot against Hongshi soon after entering the palace.
If Fangcao had not "just happened" to hear Hongli telling Hongshi how pitiful the eighth and ninth brothers were, and hoped that Hongshi would persuade her to plead for the eighth and ninth brothers, Hongshi would have almost been adopted by him to the eighth brother.
If he really adopted Hongshi away, then when Hongshi was gone, Hongli would be his eldest son. With his cruel means, it would only be a matter of time for him to get rid of the other princes.
Then wouldn't the throne be in his pocket?
Yinzhen suppressed his anger and waited for them to get married. Then, three months after Hongli got married, he ordered to remove his yellow belt and adopt him to Aqinna as his son (Aqinna means dog in Manchu, which was the name Yongzheng gave him).
Yi Xin thought that maybe this was fate.
After Qianlong ascended the throne, he rejected the crimes that Yongzheng had charged the Eighth Prince with, restored his original name Yinsi, restored him to the royal family, and put him back on the Jade Butterfly throne.
He slapped his father in the face as soon as he came to power, he deserved to be adopted.
Soon afterwards, Yinzhen's confidant E Min and others began to impeach Longkodo in accordance with Yinzhen's wishes, listed forty-one major crimes for him, and ordered him to be imprisoned forever.
The Tong family was confiscated, but their eldest son Yue Xing'a retained his position and continued to fight on the battlefield in Junggar.
The second son, Yuzhu, was exiled to Ningguta.
Yuzhu's biological mother was the vicious concubine Li Si'er, who murdered Longkodo's legitimate wife, Hesheli, chopped off her limbs and turned her into a human pig, leaving her to die in humiliation.
Therefore, Yue Xing'a actually hated Longkodo and Li Si'er, and he fully agreed with Yinzhen's will.
Li Si'er also had a daughter, who is now Hongli's wife, Tong Jia. The fact that Yinzhen gave him this marriage shows how much he disliked his son.
The Queen Mother has lost a lot over the years.
The niece's position as queen, the future of her maiden family, Uya clan, and her old lover, Longkodo.
The Queen Mother had managed to get through the previous few times, but this time her time has really come to an end.
Before she died, when she was already unconscious, she talked about Rouze, Yixiu, and most often her youngest son, Lao Shisi, and her old lover Longkodo.
She talked about all the people she was thinking about, but she never mentioned Yinzhen.
All the discomfort and reluctance in Yinzhen's heart were instantly put away.
Forget it, after all, they are not destined to be mother and son.
On December 23rd of the sixth year of Yongzheng's reign, Empress Dowager Uya Chengbi passed away.
In the seventh year of Yongzheng's reign, Prince Guo, Yue Xing'a and Sakcha defeated the Dzungar Khanate and returned to the capital.
Although Yinzhen was happy to have completely recovered Junggar, he also began to be wary of Prince Guo. On the grounds that Prince Guo was over 30 and had no heir, he gave Meng Jingxian, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Pei, to Prince Guo as his wife.
Yi Xin thought of Ye Lan Yi who was forced to enter the palace to serve the old man.
Although Yi Xin will have to slay the dragon sooner or later, she has other ways to achieve her goal, so there is no need to trouble this dragon slayer master. Therefore, Ye Lanyi was transferred from the Old Summer Palace to Prince Guo's Mansion. Whether she can succeed in the future depends on herself.
The following year, Hongzhao turned six years old. Feng Ruozhao and Yinzhen had already given him education in advance. Yinzhen also knew Hongzhao's intelligence and secretly planned to make Hongzhao his heir.
However, he was worried about the interference of external relatives in government affairs, so he wanted Hongzhao to have less contact with Yixin. He was also worried that Hongzhao would miss his younger brothers and sisters and always go to Yongshou Palace, so he told Yixin that since the triplets were only one year younger than Hongzhao, they could move to the prince's residence together and study together in the Shangshufang so that she would have company.
Yi Xin had already placed cameras in the Yangxin Palace and had heard him talking to himself in private, so she was prepared for the separation of mother and son.
Yinzhen's move might be useful to others, but Yi Xin had already given Hongzhao the enlightenment pill and explained the situation to him clearly, so Hongzhao knew what to do in the future. He would never alienate his mother because of deliberate separation.
Although the triplets did not take the enlightenment pill, they would not do as Yinzhen wished because they had their brother Hongzhao by their side to teach them by example.
Yi Xin specially called Fang Cao over.
"Fangcao, Hongzhao and the other two have someone they trust to take care of them in A'ge's place. The people I trust the most are you and Lianqiao. Lianqiao is not as steady as you, so I want to transfer you to Hongzhao's place. Are you willing?"
Of course Fangcao is willing!
Not to mention that Fangcao had already taken the loyalty pill and was loyal to Yixin. Even if she hadn't taken it, she was not someone who couldn't see the situation clearly. After the fourth prince was eliminated, the remaining third and fifth princes were not people who could take on the responsibility. Then from the sixth to the tenth prince, all five princes were born to Yixin.
The Sixth Prince is very intelligent and will surely have great things in the future. If she goes to serve him now, she will be the eldest aunt in front of the emperor in the future.
So Fangcao happily packed up and left.
As Yinzhen grew older, he followed the old path in the drama and started taking elixirs.
After Yi Xin knew about it, instead of stopping him, she secretly sent him many ambitious and beautiful young palace maids.
When Hongzhao was ten years old, court officials urged Yinzhen to establish a national foundation as soon as possible.
Some people nominated the Third Prince, some nominated the Fifth Prince, and some nominated Hong Zhao.
It was at this time that Yinzhen realized that he really had no other sons to entrust his care to. The eleventh son was still too young, and the rest of his sons, except for two incompetent ones, were all born to Yi Xin.
He became suspicious again and always felt that Hong Zhao was thinking about the chair under his butt. Of course, that was indeed the case.
But whether it was to shut up the gossips of the previous dynasty or to be on the safe side, Yinzhen brought Hongzhao from the Shangshufang to the Yangxin Palace and taught him personally.
Therefore, everyone knew what Yinzhen was thinking.
It's just that Yinzhen's temper is always good or bad.
She would scold Hongzhao for no reason from time to time. At first, Hongzhao was very sad, and Yixin would comfort him.
"Your royal father is old. Seeing you so young and smart, he is afraid. From now on, every time he criticizes you, if what he says is right, you should listen carefully. If he is just looking for trouble, then just ignore what he says and treat it as wind in one ear and one ear."
"But what are you afraid of, Father? I will not kill the king."
"Shh!" Yi Xin quickly covered his mouth, "Can you just say those two words casually?"
"The Empress Dowager is not an outsider. If I don't even trust you, who else can I trust?"
"Hey~" Yi Xin sighed, "There is something that the Empress Dowager will not hide from you. Your Imperial Father has been taking elixirs for two years. No one can dissuade him. He thinks that those who try to dissuade him are the ones who want to stop him from achieving immortality. But look at history, among all the emperors who took elixirs, which one achieved immortality? The imperial physician said that your Imperial Father's body can only last for three to five years. You should also prepare yourself early and learn from your Imperial Father about the things of the previous dynasties."
"Three to five years?" Hong Zhao felt a lump in his throat and his eyes started to turn red. "Then I'll go and persuade the Emperor not to take the elixir!" He was about to turn around and leave.
"Stop!" Yi Xin hurriedly called out to him.
"Hong Zhao, you don't have to persuade him! It's useless. Look at how your seventeenth and twenty-first uncles are doing now. They have been dismissed from all their positions and are idle at home. It's because they persuaded your father. Your father doesn't lack sons. If you persuade him, he might adopt you out in a rage. What will you do to your mother, brothers and sisters?"
Hong Zhao finally calmed down. Yes, he was not alone. He still had the Empress Dowager and five younger brothers and sisters. He must not act rashly.
"Thank you, Madam Queen. I understand."
"Now that you understand, let's go."
From then on, no matter how Yinzhen scolded Hongzhao, Hongzhao never came to Yongshou Palace to complain. He just studied hard with Yinzhen, but only learned the good things and ignored the bad things.
Yi Xin thought that she could let Yinzhen think that he was still young, or that the elixir was very effective. This way, he could consume the elixir more wantonly and indulge in revelry every night.
So Yi Xin gave each of the people on her side, Concubine Jing, Concubine Xin, and Concubine Yue, a pill to make a child, and gave each of Concubine Rou, Concubine Rong, Noble Lady Shun, and Concubine Kang a pill to make a daughter.
After taking the pill, as long as they can let Yinzhen go to their place once, she will definitely get pregnant.
So in the next two years, Yinzhen had three more princes and four more princesses.
Concubine Jing didn't expect that she was already 36 years old. She had not been pregnant before because of Huan Yixiang, but she became pregnant when she had completely lost hope.
The same thing happened to Concubine Xin. She had a miscarriage in the first year of her life, and the imperial physician diagnosed that she had hurt her body. From then on, she only wanted to depend on Shuhe and her daughter. Unexpectedly, she got pregnant just after Shuhe got married.
Shuhe married the Taiji of Khorchin. Although she married far away, Yi Xin asked Yinzhen to build a princess mansion for Shuhe in the capital. In the future, Shuhe could return to the capital to live for a period of time every year. Concubine Xin was very satisfied with this.
Concubine Yue was not that excited. After all, she was younger than Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin, and she felt that it was only a matter of time before she became pregnant.
Since he had so many more children, Yinzhen took pills more frequently.
In the drama, he died in the 15th year of Yongzheng's reign, and the same is true in this life.
In October of the fifteenth year of Yongzheng's reign, after taking the elixir, Yinzhen summoned four palace maids from the Hall of Mental Cultivation to have fun at once, and this time he went too far.
By the time the imperial physician arrived, he had already suffered a stroke.
Moreover, his stroke was even more serious than the one the Queen Mother had suffered. He could not move any part of his body except his eyelids. In addition, the erysipelas in his body had erupted, and he was afraid that he would not be able to live for many hours.
Seeing that the matter was no longer under his control, Su Peisheng hurried to Yongshou Palace.
Last year, Su Peisheng secretly surrendered to Yi Xin and told her that Yinzhen had written the edict of succession. Although Yi Xin had already placed surveillance cameras at that location and knew that Hongzhao's name was written on it, she still accepted his surrender.
Even though Yi Xin believed that Su Peisheng would not lie to her, she still went to the Yangxin Palace in person to ask the imperial physicians Wen Shichu and others who had diagnosed Yinzhen's pulse for the sake of caution. Only then did she ask Su Peisheng to quickly call the clan members, Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi and other ministers trusted by Yinzhen.
At the same time, he also sent Xiao Xiazi, Xiao Linzi, Lian Qiao and others to call the princes, princesses and ladies in the harem to kneel at the door and pray for Yinzhen.
But praying for blessings didn't work after all. As soon as the clan members and ministers entered the Yangxin Palace, they heard Yi Xin crying, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Yinzhen passed away.
Everyone knelt down and began to cry bitterly. In fact, everyone knew that Yinzhen's physical condition was caused by himself.
So no one suspected anything at all. After crying for quarter of an hour, they started discussing the issue of the new king.
At this time, Su Peisheng said, "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine, all the princes and lords, the Emperor had already written the edict of succession a few years ago and hid it behind the plaque of "Zhengda Guangming" in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Do you want to take it out and have a look now?"
Zhang Tingyu spoke first, "What are we waiting for? The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Let's go to the Qianqing Palace and take a look."
So the group went to the Qianqing Palace again, and Su Peisheng personally climbed up the ladder to take down the imperial edict.
When Zhang Tingyu opened it, he saw that the name of the Sixth Prince Hongzhao was indeed written on it. He immediately returned to the Yangxin Palace and read out the decree.
At the beginning of Hongzhao's accession to the throne, Zhang Tingyu was still worried that Yi Xin would rely on the power of the Fucha family to control the government.
Who would have thought that after Yi Xin finished observing the national mourning for 27 days, she moved to the Old Summer Palace with the concubines of the late emperor and some young princes and princesses.
This put the minds of ministers like Zhang Tingyu, who were wary of external relatives, at ease.
When Hong Zhao ascended the throne, he announced that he would observe a three-year mourning period for the late emperor.
Three years later, when Hongzhao was sixteen years old, the selection process began. It lasted for half a year, and in the end, Hongzhao personally chose the legitimate daughter of the Nianhulu clan as the queen.
The wedding was planned for a year, and the wedding officially took place when Hongzhao was seventeen years old.
After Hongzhao's wedding, Yixin felt that he had grown into a mature emperor, so she gave Hongzhao the Qing history books and modern history books in traditional Chinese characters that she bought from a shopping platform, as well as a bunch of reference books, cowpox prescriptions, and cement prescriptions.
"There are some things that the Empress doesn't know how to tell you. But the Empress won't harm you. You should study these books carefully and regard them as gifts from God."
Hong Zhao was intelligent and noticed that Yi Xin was different very early on, but he couldn't figure out the reason for this difference.
It was not until after reading these books that Hong Zhao finally realized that his royal mother was not from this era.
There was no such person as Hong Zhao in history. If it weren't for his imperial mother, he would not have existed.
Hongzhao was grateful to Yixin from the bottom of his heart. After reading the history of the Qing Dynasty, he vowed to be a good emperor and not let the future of the Qing Dynasty be ruined in the hands of the Aisin-Gioro family.
Yi Xin doesn't want to be trapped in the Forbidden City and the Old Summer Palace for the rest of her life. She also wants to travel around and become a fertility-delivering Guanyin.
The triplets and the twin Hongsheng need to go to Shangshufang to study every day, and Yixin doesn't want to delay their studies (actually, her son is too annoying and she doesn't want to take him with her), so Yixin takes Mingxi with her and they travel around together in the name of traveling.
Hong Zhao was very concerned about his old mother and sister. He arranged fifty guards for them and secretly sent ten secret guards to protect them.
Not only that, he also assigned Wen Shichu and his apprentice Wei Lin to them so that they could take care of each other on the road.
Yi Xin thought that since Wen Shichu was by her side, she might as well learn some medical skills from him, which might be useful when she went to other small worlds.
Since Queen Mother Yi Xin wanted to learn, Wen Shichu naturally offered to teach her everything he knew, and Yi Xin also studied very enthusiastically.
Not long after Hongzhao and Niuhulu got married, Niuhulu became pregnant and gave birth to the eldest princess after ten months of pregnancy.
Originally, Niuhulu was worried that Hongzhao would be disappointed that he was not a prince, but Hongzhao's performance made her completely relieved.
When it comes to the eldest princess, I want to hold her in my hands every day. I feel uncomfortable if I don't see her every day.
When Yi Xin came back, the eldest princess could already call people.
After seeing her, Hong Zhao whispered a few words in her ear, and she called out to Yi Xin sweetly, "Royal Mama."
"Hey! She is really the Royal Madam's good granddaughter."
After that, Yi Xin and Ming Xi came back every two or three years. Later, after Ming Xi got married, Yi Xin went out to play by herself.
Over the years, she learned medical skills from Wen Shichu. After decades of study, she is now better than Wen Shichu.
In addition, her fertility pills have also been playing a role. Whenever she arrived at a place, she would look for wealthy families or officials with few children and give their mistresses fertility pills to help them give birth to a girl. Although other people only gave 1000 points for one child, over the past few decades, plus the children she gave herself, she had saved up a lot.
I just thought that in the next world, at least I wouldn't be penniless, and I wouldn't have to drool over the things in the system mall, Taobao, or certain group takeout.
Time passed quickly and she was 72 years old. Her life was coming to an end. Yi Xin left with a smile surrounded by her children and grandchildren.
After leaving the small world, Hao Qiong returned to the villa in the system space.
The magical thing is that the moment she came in, she lost all the emotions she had in the previous small world, and even her memory became blurred.
Tongzi told her that this was to prevent the taskers from becoming obsessed with the emotions and memories in each small world, so that they could not complete the task well, or had confusion in emotional memory and caused psychological problems.
In order to compensate for the tasker's missing emotions and memories, the skills learned in each small film and television world, or the skills that the original owner possesses, will always accompany the tasker into other small worlds.
Originally, Hao Qiong was worried that he had learned medical skills for decades in vain. Now, he knows that not only can he keep the medical skills forever, but he also gained the original owner's guzheng, horse riding and archery skills. He is so happy.
Tongzi told her that the original owner gave her full marks, and especially praised her for the way she handled Ulanara Yixiu, An Lingrong, and Zhen Huan. The original owner felt very satisfied.
As a result, Hao Qiong successfully obtained 10 points, and now her accumulated points have reached seven figures.
When she arrives in the next small world, she can spend 100 million points to open the system mall without even having to wait until she gives birth to her first child.
Of course, Hao Qiong would never do this unless it was absolutely necessary.
There is only one reason: I can't bear to let go!
Before ending Fu Cha Yi Xin's small world, Hao Qiong put a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, clothing, medicinal materials and some daily necessities into the villa.
Not only that, he also specially made a lot of aphrodisiac incense, knockout drugs, laxatives, arsenic, and cremation pills, just in case in the small world later.
The only thing I didn't think of was putting food in it.
Therefore, during the 30 days of rest in the villa, Hao Qiong spent more than 4,000 points on a certain group takeout, which made her feel very painful.
When the break was almost over, she quickly connected to the system and entered the next small world.
Hao Qiong looked in the mirror while digesting the original owner's memories.
The original owner was Lü Yingfeng, the legitimate daughter of Lü Xian, the fifth-rank prefect of Mianzhou, also known as Xin Changzai in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Because she was quick-witted and always able to complain at the first opportunity, netizens called her Xin Baji.
Lu Yingfeng was born in the 16th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. She has just turned years old now. She has passed the palace selection and was assigned by Emperor Kangxi to his fourth son, Prince Yong, Yinzhen, to become a princess in his mansion and will enter the palace tomorrow.
Entering the palace with her were two other girls from the same class, Shumulu Yafu from the Manchu army flag and Cao Qinmo from the Han army flag.
The original owner had five wishes.
1. Give birth to a son who will ascend the throne and you will become the empress dowager.
2. Daughter Shuhe married into the capital.
3. My father got promoted and became my helper.
4. Let Ulanara Yixiu, who caused her miscarriage, die a miserable death.
5. Take revenge on Nian Shilan and Guaerjia Wenyuan who have oppressed her, or at least make them fall out of favor.
Hao Qiong looked at the face in the mirror. Perhaps because she was born in Sichuan, the original owner's skin was very fair and smooth. The rest of the facial features were ordinary, and only a pair of slender and charming fox eyes could add some color to this face.
But based on her looks, she is only slightly better than Cao Qinmo.
Hao Qiong didn't want to be a nobody in the backyard of the palace like her original owner. Even though she gave birth to Yinzhen's eldest daughter, she was only given the title of a concubine after he ascended the throne, becoming a person at the bottom of the food chain in the harem.
So after taking an immunity pill, for the sake of her wonderful nightlife and wealth and glory, Hao Qiong took beauty pills and body charm pills. She didn't need skin beautifying pills because the original owner's skin was already very good.
The effects of these three elixirs can be seen from their names.
The uses of beauty pills and skin beautifying pills are clear at a glance.
As for the body-enhancing pill, as the name suggests, it can change the body shape, shape, and that part... those who understand will understand.
Most of the pills in the system can be set with a time limit.
Although Hao Qiong will be entering the mansion tomorrow, she is afraid that her sudden beauty will arouse other people's suspicion, so she set a time limit of one month, during which her appearance will become more beautiful little by little on the original basis.
By then, I can attribute my changes to the natural and healthy environment of the capital, or to my age growth.
(Later changed to Lü Yingfeng)
The next day, three pink sedan chairs were carried into Prince Yong's mansion one after another from the back door.
The principal wife, Ulanara Yixiu, sent three maids to lead the way for the three princesses.
The one who brought Lu Yingfeng with her was Huichun, a first-class maidservant beside Fu Jin.
Lu Yingfeng was not idle on the way. Although he knew that Huichun was Fu Jin's confidant, he also found out some unimportant information from her.
For example, who are the people in the mansion and where do they live? Huichun thought that these were not secrets anyway, so she told Lu Yingfeng everything.
The two of them asked and answered questions, and unknowingly walked to Yue Mingxuan, which was a slightly remote location.
"Fu Jin has already prepared Yue Ming Xuan in advance. According to the rules of the palace, a princess has one first-class maid, two second-class maids, and two eunuchs who are responsible for sweeping and running errands. The first-class maid is naturally the princess's dowry, and the other four are already waiting in Yue Ming Xuan. Fu Jin has instructed that the princess does not need to go to the main courtyard to pay respects before serving the prince. If there is no other instruction, I will take my leave, and Fu Jin's reward will be delivered later."
"Miss Huichun, please ask me to thank Madam Tinglan on my behalf." Tinglan immediately understood and took out a purse and stuffed it into Huichun's hand.
Tinglan was the original owner's maiden who came with her as a dowry. Her parents both worked for the Lu family. She was the only person Lu Yingfeng could trust in the mansion.
Huichun accepted the purse without changing her expression, bowed and left.
Lu Yingfeng's family had no hope of winning the talent show, so they didn't prepare a dowry for her.
In addition, princesses were only allowed to bring one box into the palace, so she didn't have much stuff. The box contained a few sets of clothes and some silver, money and jewelry prepared for her by her family.
As soon as Lu Yingfeng stepped into the gate of Yue Mingxuan, the four servants in the courtyard knelt down in front of her.
"Your servant greets the princess! May the princess be blessed!"
"Stand up." Lu Yingfeng called out as she walked towards the main room. Tinglan helped her sit down in the main seat before she spoke again, "Please introduce yourselves. What's your name? Where are you from? What are your skills and specialties?"
"I am Si Xi, a newly assigned servant from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I can comb hair and do embroidery."
"I am Cui'er, a servant girl. I used to serve in the garden of the palace and I can take care of the flowers and plants."
"My name is Xiao Xiangzi. I was guarding the back door before. I have been in the palace for eight years, so I am well-informed."
"My name is Xiao Tangzi, and I am also a newcomer from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I don't have any other skills, but I am quite strong."
Lu Yingfeng listened and analyzed at the same time.
Si Xi and Xiao Tangzi were new people assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they seemed to have clean backgrounds. However, there was a concubine named Defei Uya in the palace who was born as a bondservant, and Defei was the cousin of Fu Jin, so it was not clear who these two belonged to.
She doesn't know the identities of Cui'er and Xiao Xiangzi for the time being, but she will know it after getting along with them for a long time, or after she gives birth to her first child and opens the system mall (a stingy person like Hao Qiong says that it is absolutely impossible for her to spend 100 million points to open the system mall) and buys the loyalty pill for them to take.
"Since you have been assigned to Yue Ming Xuan to serve me, it is our fate. Since it is fate, we should cherish it. I am not a master who likes to make things difficult for others. As long as you are loyal in the future, I will not make things difficult for you. Otherwise, although I am only a concubine, I can also ask the prince and his wife to deal with you. Do you understand?"
"I understand, your servant."
"Okay, Tinglan, please give me some money! This money is the gift for our first meeting."
"Thank you for the reward!"
After the four people left, Lu Yingfeng began to observe the room. She had learned a lot from Wen Shichu, and soon she found something wrong.
If there were replacements in the space, she would replace them while Tinglan wasn't paying attention. If there were no replacements, she would say that she didn't like them and asked Tinglan to take them away.
main courtyard.
Fu Jin was writing big characters in the study room when Jian Qiu came over to report that Hui Chun and the other two had returned. Fu Jin put down her pen and asked them to come in.
Asked out loud: "How?"
Ran Dong: "Fu Gege has a good appearance, but her personality is very much like Li Fujin."
Li Fujin is Li Jingyan, the future Concubine Qi, and the mother of the great Qing Dynasty giant, the third prince Hongshi. In Fujin's eyes, she is just a fool with beauty but no brains. If she were not so stupid, Fujin would not let her give birth to a child.
Xiu Xia: "Gege Cao looks smart, but her appearance is only the worst in the mansion."
Huichun: "Lü Gege is above average in appearance, not as good as Nian Fujin and Fei Gege, but she speaks and acts in a very disciplined manner."
Fu Jin rubbed his forehead and sighed, "Year after year, the flowers are the same, but the people are different. Let our people watch carefully."
It was not until the seventh day after Lu Yingfeng entered the mansion that she learned from Xiao Xiazi that Yinzhen would come over tonight.
He used silver to happily send Xiao Xiazi away, and then began to prepare to welcome Yinzhen in the evening.
Lu Yingfeng was the second newcomer to serve the emperor's bedchamber. The first was Fu Gege Shumulu Yafu. Xiao Xiangzi said that Yinzhen went to her room for three consecutive days, which made her very proud.
But he was soon punished by Concubine Nian, and now he was called to Mi Xiuyuan by Concubine Nian every day to set rules.
There is no such person as Shumulu Yafu in the play, but Lu Yingfeng can roughly guess her identity. She should be the Concubine Fang who once lived in Suiyuxuan and had a miscarriage.
Because the 55th year of Kangxi's reign was the last time he held a beauty pageant, and no one else would come after that. Yinzhen was not the kind of person who would easily sleep with a palace maid, and all the women in the mansion except her were characters in the play.
Therefore, Concubine Fang thought of no one else except her.
Xiao Xiazi just said that Yinzhen asked her to have dinner by herself, which meant that she only had to sleep with him.
So Lu Yingfeng began to tidy herself up.
She first took a fragrant hot bath, then changed into a pink satin shirt with a butterfly pattern. She did not comb her hair into an exquisite bun, but casually tied it up with a white jade butterfly hairpin. If it were seen by others, it might give people a sense of lazy and comfortable feeling.
However, Lu Yingfeng had a pair of fox eyes. Over the past seven or eight days, under the effects of the beauty pill and the body-enchanting pill, she had become more seductive. Even Yinzhen, who had seen many beauties, couldn't help but feel his throat tighten.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty." Without waiting for Lu Yingfeng to complete the formalities, Yinzhen impatiently pulled her to sit on the beauty couch.
"Your maiden name is Lu Yingfeng?" Yinzhen's big hands kept stroking her soft hands. Compared with Lu Yingfeng's delicate and fair hands, Yinzhen felt that his own hands were dark and rough.
"Yes." Lu Yingfeng tried to keep her face from turning red, looked at him shyly, and then timidly lowered her eyes. She felt disappointed in her heart. It was because Yinzhen, who was 7 years younger, was not much better looking.
Lu Yingfeng only hoped that he could give her some more strength in bed. After all, he started to go downhill after the age of 48, and she could only enjoy him for ten years at most.
Yinzhen was so angry at her look that he wanted to throw the person in front of him onto the bed immediately, but he felt sorry for her as it was her first time and was afraid that his haste would scare her, so he deliberately said a few more words to her.
"But it is from Mao Kai's poem? Leaning against the wind with dew in her eyes, it seems like a slight smile, full of tenderness."
"That's right." Lu Yingfeng met his gaze and felt that Yinzhen was worthy of being the next emperor. This Song Dynasty poem was relatively obscure, but he could recite it fluently.
Yinzhen felt that his patience had reached its limit when she looked at him, so he cleared his throat and asked, "How many days have you been here? Are you used to it? Is there anything you are missing? Now that I am here, you can tell me everything."
He called himself "Master", so Lu Yingfeng followed him and called him that, but his voice was a little softer.
"In reply to your question, sir, I am used to it. When I entered the mansion, the wife and the two concubines sent people to give me clothes and jewelry. I don't lack anything for the time being."
"That's good." Yinzhen felt that it was almost done, so he ordered the servants to help him wash up.
After a quick shower, he pulled Lu Yingfeng to the bed and couldn't wait to kiss her tender lips. Lu Yingfeng pretended to be very inexperienced at first, then she slowly hugged Yinzhen's neck and couldn't help moaning a few times.
The voice was very soft, but to Yinzhen's ears, it was as if he had drunk deer blood wine and taken love potion.
What followed was the violent storm he brought, which hit her little boat hard again and again.
Lu Yingfeng's body has been transformed by the Meiti Pill. Although the effect has not yet reached its peak, it is now top-notch from the inside out.
It was rare for Yinzhen to indulge himself, and that night they called for water four times before they stopped.
The next day.
Only after Yinzhen left did Lu Yingfeng open his eyes. He felt as if his whole body had been run over by a car and was in great pain. He took a pain-relieving pill and recovered fully.
Lu Yingfeng let Tinglan and Sixi dress her up. Then she chose a low-key plain-colored Manchu dress, combed her hair into a simple bun, and took Tinglan to the main courtyard to pay her respects.
All the women in the backyard knew about Lu Yingfeng's appointment to the emperor's bedchamber. They all wanted to see what this new person who would share their favor looked like as soon as possible. So when she arrived, everyone in the mansion was there except for the sick Concubine Qi.
Lu Yingfeng performed the ceremony of a concubine to Fu Jin and offered her a cup of tea, completing the formalities.
After Fu Jin put down the cup, she smiled and said to the crowd below: "This is our new sister, named Lu Yingfeng. In the future, everyone should get along well, work together to serve the prince, and strive to give birth to a child for the prince as soon as possible. Regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, Fu Jin and the prince will reward you handsomely! Sister Lu, you can continue to greet the other sisters."
"Yes." Lu Yingfeng continued, "Princess Lu greets Mrs. Li, Mrs. Nian, and all the sisters."
When Mrs. Nian thought of the news she had heard in the morning, she was so angry that she took the initiative to attack.
"I don't know where Lu Gege learned these seductive tricks, but she actually made the prince moan four times in one night, and she wasn't afraid of hurting the prince's body!"
"What? Four times of water?!" Li Fujin was filled with jealousy when she heard this.
She entered the palace early, and the prince liked her very much when she was young. After she gave birth to a child, the prince rarely went to her room. Even if he went to her, he would not necessarily ask for sex. When she heard that Lu Yingfeng was so liked by the prince, she could not bear it, so she glared at her fiercely and scolded her: "Fox charm!"
"It's not foxy! Look at Lu Gege's eyes. If you don't know, you would think it's the reincarnation of a fox spirit!" Fei Gege said sarcastically.
"How did Lu Gege seduce the prince? Why not teach us sisters?" said Fu Gege.
The four men pointed their guns at Lu Yingfeng and attacked him one after another, going back and forth for nearly half an hour.
Fu Jin sat at the top, without any restraint on their behavior, and was just looking forward to the show. Fu Jin even hoped that they would taunt Lv Yingfeng again. When Lv Yingfeng got tired of being taunted, she would lend a helping hand, and Lv Yingfeng would definitely be as loyal to her as Fu Jin Li.
However, what Fu Jin did not expect was that no matter what they said, Lu Yingfeng remained calm and did not say a word.
Lu Yingfeng was no fool. She knew that her family background was humble, she had just been favored, and she had no children. If she really fought back against them, she would surely suffer the same fate as Fei Gege, Feng Gege, and Fu Gege.
