3. 41 to 60

Mrs. Li doesn't have much ability, she's just Mrs. Nian.

The future Concubine Hua, Nian Shilan, her father has already retired, let's not talk about her two brothers.

The eldest brother was Nian Xiyao, the second-rank governor of Anhui, and the second brother was Nian Gengyao, the second-rank governor of Sichuan.

Lu Yingfeng's father, Lu Xian, was the prefect of Mianzhou, which was located in Sichuan, so Lu Xian was an official under Nian Gengyao.

Although Nian Xiyao dotes on his sister, he is still rational and will not involve her in the affairs of the previous dynasty.

Nian Gengyao is different. He cherishes his sister very much. In the play, he has repeatedly reported Zhen Huan's father Zhen Yuandao for Nian Fujin. Now Lu Xian is working under Nian Gengyao. If Lu Yingfeng offends Nian Fujin, she is afraid that Nian Gengyao will take action against Lu Xian.

This is not without examples.

Ever since Concubine Nian came into the mansion three years ago, she has been monopolizing Yinzhen's favor almost every day. Except for Concubine Nian who has to abide by the rule of staying overnight on the first and fifteenth days of the month, the old people in the mansion cannot see Yinzhen at other times. Even if Yinzhen finally goes to their place, he will be intercepted by Concubine Nian.

This situation lasted for three months until Feng Ruozhao and Fei Yunyan, two young ladies from the same class as Mrs. Nian, entered the mansion. This situation was changed.

The only difference is that the situation changed from Furen Nian being the only one to Furen Nian and Feige being the only one in bloom.

At one point, Feigege's favor even surpassed that of Lady Nian, and the two of them had a big fight at that time.

Later, when Fu Jin Nian became pregnant and could not sleep with the emperor, she was angry that Fei Gege had taken away most of her favor, so she turned to Nian Gengyao for help and captured Fei Gege's father. Fei Gege's father was a fifth-rank lieutenant of the infantry and also an officer. Nian Gengyao used means to transfer Fei Gege's father to Sichuan.

Fei Gege settled down and became a lackey of Nian Fujin. Yinzhen did not want to increase Nian Fujin's power, so he did not favor Fei Gege much.

As for Feng Gege, as soon as she entered the mansion, she was pushed into the backyard of Mixiuyuan owned by Nian Fujin. Nian Fujin was overbearing and jealous, and Feng Gege was a patient person, so Feng Gege was destined to be lost to everyone.

Not only that, every day before paying her respects to Mrs. Fujin, she would first pay her respects to Mrs. Nian. After returning from the main courtyard, she would also set rules around Mrs. Nian. Her body had been marinated with Huanyixiang.

As for Lu Yingfeng, the daughter of a fifth-rank minor official, with no family background, no favor, and no children, if Lady Nian asked her to set the rules, could she still resist?

So for the time being she could only bow to reality and plan for the future.

If Fu Gege's sleeping with her for three consecutive days was considered favor, then Lu Yingfeng's sleeping with her for seven consecutive days was the greatest favor.

With the "virtuous" wife in front and the wife Nian unable to sleep with him due to her menstruation in the back, the disfavored wife Li and the other princesses were unable to stop Yinzhen at all.

Yinzhen had verbal battles with ministers in the court every day, and was still busy with government affairs after returning home. He vented all his frustration on Lu Yingfeng every day.

There was no way, he really liked Lu Yingfeng's appearance.

The two of them went back and forth in various places, such as on the bed, on the dressing table, next to the desk, and in the bathtub, stimulating each other's bodies and having a great time.

Later, when Nian Shilan's period ended, she had a dish of West Lake fish and meat soup sent to the front yard, and she became the most favored person in the backyard.

Lu Yingfeng was too lazy to try to win favor, so she would just accompany Yinzhen whenever he came.

Because Concubine Nian and Fu Ge fought fiercely, Yinzhen spent most of his time with them. He also had to spend a small part of his time at Concubine Nian's main courtyard on the first and fifteenth days of the month. He only spent two or three days a month at Lu Yingfeng's Yuemingxuan.

Therefore, from the outside, her new favorite gradually lost its appeal, and although she still had some favor, it was not much.

Only Lu Yingfeng herself knew that every time Yinzhen came, it was as if he had accumulated a desire for a long time, and the two of them would roll around from dusk to dawn.

Poor Cao Gege has not yet slept with the emperor. I don't know how much she hates Concubine Nian, Concubine Fu and Lu Yingfeng in her heart.

Fu Jin persuaded Yinzhen several times before he visited her once, but soon forgot about her.

Lu Yingfeng entered the mansion in early September. Counting the days, it is almost three months now. She touched her belly and it was almost three months old.

The first time Lu Yingfeng went to bed with the emperor, she took a fertility pill and a pregnancy-preserving pill. Of course, she also did not forget to add a contraceptive pill with a contraceptive effect of up to 20 years into Yinzhen's tea.

Yinzhen's life span was too short. In reality, he reigned for thirteen years, and in the TV series, he reigned for fifteen years. Now there are still six years before Kangxi's death. Lu Yingfeng must make preparations early and give birth to a son as soon as possible.

Otherwise, like Hongzhao in his previous life, who ascended the throne at the age of 13, it would still not be easy for him to leave even if he had the support of the Fucha family in the previous dynasty.

What's more, the Lu family and the Fucha family are very different.

As for Shuhe, Lu Yingfeng did not plan to give birth to a daughter now. If she did, her daughter's marriage would definitely be decided by Yinzhen.

Lu Yingfeng didn't have the confidence to convince him to marry his daughter in the capital. So she thought about giving birth to a daughter later, and when her son ascended the throne, she would have the final say on who her daughter would marry.

Lu Yingfeng knew very well that Yue Mingxuan had an informant.

During the first seven days of her serving the emperor's favor, the identity of a spy was revealed.

This person is Cui'er.

On the third day of Lu Yingfeng's service to the emperor, Cui'er had a sachet around her waist, which emitted a strong musky scent.

Lu Yingfeng believed that if she had not made it clear from the beginning that she did not like incense, musk would have been added to her perfume.

There was no one else in the entire palace backyard except the wife who used this method to deal with her.

Although she discovered Cui'er's identity, she was not in a hurry to get rid of her. Before she had the loyalty pill, she was afraid that if she sent away one thorn, another one would come.

It would be better to keep this known nail and use it for something in the future.

Fu Jin thought that she had done everything right as the court physician reported back every month that Lü Yingfeng was not pregnant. However, she did not know that Lü Yingfeng had used silver needles to change her pulse.

Although the silver needles could not change the gender of her and the fetus as arbitrarily as a pulse regulator, and create pulses of various diseases, Wen Shichu had taught her in the last small world how to use silver needles to weaken the pulse of a pregnant woman.

Unless there is someone with better medical skills than him, he will not be able to diagnose the pregnancy.

Lu Yingfeng was not afraid of Fu Jin's methods because the effect of the pregnancy-preserving pill was strong enough.

The reason why she didn't reveal her pregnancy was that she was afraid that if she told him, Yinzhen would be worried about the unstable fetus in the first three months and would not touch her.

She didn't want to lose favor as soon as she entered the palace, even if it was because she was pregnant. She had to spend a few months to cultivate the relationship.

Moreover, Yinzhen's abilities and skills are pretty good now, so she should enjoy every day she can.

A few days later, the baby was three months pregnant, and Lu Yingfeng felt that it was time to reveal the news.

In the evening, Yinzhen came to have dinner with Lu Yingfeng.

While eating, Lu Yingfeng picked up a piece of fish and just as he was about to put it into his mouth, he couldn't help but lean sideways and retched.

"What's wrong?" Yinzhen put down his chopsticks and helped her smooth her back. Seeing how uncomfortable she looked, he had some guesses in his mind and a look of joy appeared on his face. He quickly ordered Su Peisheng to call the palace doctor.

It was a cold and windy day in November, but the court doctor had sweat all over his forehead, which showed that he was in a hurry.

After entering the room, he gasped for a long time before he calmed down and took Lu Yingfeng's pulse.

Yinzhen stared at the court physician with expectation.

The court physician was extremely frightened by Yinzhen's examination.

The palace doctor's surname was Chen. He was originally the concubine's man. Under his treatment, some princesses died of two deaths, and some princesses were about one month pregnant, and he put abortion drugs in the health-preserving soup according to the concubine's instructions, and the children were miscarried without anyone noticing.

Every time there was a new bride in the mansion, Fu Jin would specifically instruct the couple to take care of their bodies and if they got pregnant, they should immediately and quietly deal with the matter.

He didn't expect that such a big mistake would happen on his hands.

But the fetus was already three months old, and he believed that Lu Gege had known in her heart that she was pregnant, otherwise she would not have been able to hide it so well.

If he lied now, and Lu Gege asked the prince to find another doctor, he would probably lose his life.

So he could only force a smile and said to them, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations to Lu Gege. Lu Gege is pregnant, and the pregnancy is already three months."

Cui'er was so frightened that she trembled immediately, but fortunately she was standing at the back and no one noticed her.

Tinglan, Su Peisheng and others congratulated their master.

Yinzhen smiled and held Lu Yingfeng's hand tightly, saying "good" three times before saying, "Feng'er is really blessed. Calculate the date, this child should be enthroned!"

Lu Yingfeng didn't want Yinzhen to think that she was ignoring the safety of her unborn child to gain his favor, so she pretended to be ignorant, "Ah? I'm really pregnant? Why didn't I find out during the previous pulse checks? And I have my period every month, and my mother said that women don't have their periods when they are pregnant."

Yinzhen thought of their frequent interactions over the past few days and was afraid that this was a symptom of miscarriage, so he immediately asked worriedly: "House doctor, how is Lu Gege's pulse? Is the baby okay? Does she need to take medicine to stabilize the pregnancy?"

Seeing that Lu Yingfeng was looking at him meaningfully, Doctor Chen could only bite the bullet and answer truthfully.

"Your Highness, don't worry. Lu Gege's health is one of the best among the women in the palace. If the mother is healthy, the child will be fine too. Medicine is poisonous, Lu Gege doesn't need to take pregnancy-preserving medicine for the time being. The reason why we didn't diagnose her before may be because the signs of pregnancy were not obvious in the first few months, and only showed up after three months. Don't worry about menstruation. Although most women will stop menstruating after pregnancy, there are a few women who will continue to menstruate as usual. I think Lu Gege is the latter."

"That's good! That's good!" Yinzhen was delighted that he was about to have a healthy child, and immediately gave orders, "The Yuemingxuan will give three months' monthly allowance! From today on, Princess Lu will be promoted to concubine!"

"Congratulations to the concubine!" Tinglan and others knelt down to congratulate.

The news that Lu Yingfeng was pregnant and was promoted to concubine spread quickly to every corner of the palace like a hurricane.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Nian touched her belly dejectedly, where there was once a fully formed male fetus.

It's all that bitch Qi Yuebin's fault!

Relying on her trust, he brought her a bowl of abortion-preserving medicine with safflower, causing her to lose the baby! Mrs. Nian clenched her handkerchief tightly, wishing she could rush to Qi Yuebin's Qiyunzhai and slap her a dozen or twenty times!

Unfortunately, Qi Yuebin's residence, Qiyunzhai, was too close to Yuemingxuan. She knew that Yinzhen was in Yuemingxuan, so she didn't dare to make any noise and could only suppress this idea for the time being.

In Qiyunzhai, Concubine Qi stared blankly in the direction of Yue Mingxuan, muttering, "It's happening so soon..."

Li Fujin was thinking, what if Lü Yingfeng gave birth to a son and stole Hongshi's limelight? Now the prince only had three sons.

Her Hongshi was not liked by the prince. He was only 7 years old, but he could only recite a poem sporadically.

The birth mother of the fourth prince Hongli was a vulgar and ugly palace maid. It was Yinzhen who was plotted against by the eighth, ninth and tenth princes that night, and she became pregnant. The palace maid probably thought she was going to become the master, but she encountered a difficult labor and died just after Hongli was born.

When Yinzhen saw Hongli, he thought of the plot against him and the scolding he had received from his father, so he disliked him very much and asked a wet nurse to raise him in the Old Summer Palace.

The fifth prince Hongzhou's mother, Geng Gege, gave birth to him "accidentally" prematurely, so Hongzhou's health was not very good. Geng Gege was afraid that the weather in the capital could not support her son, so she asked Yinzhen to send them to the Rehe Palace with hot springs for recuperation.

So Li Fujin is not worried about the fourth and fifth princes, but if Lu Yingfeng is born smart, then the position of the prince of the palace...

The rest of the princesses were tearing their handkerchiefs or smashing things.

She was either envious or jealous of Lu Yingfeng's good luck in getting pregnant right after entering the mansion.

In the main courtyard, when Fu Jin learned that Lu Yingfeng was pregnant, she smashed the broken porcelain all over the floor.

"I underestimated this Lu. She usually paid respects quietly, but she actually got pregnant right under my nose! The prince promoted her to concubine without even consulting me, not caring about my face at all! Lu's pregnancy is so stable, I'm afraid that Chen Fuyi and Cui'er have been subdued by Lu. Jianqiu, you must do it yourself this time and make sure to get rid of this pregnancy!"

"Don't worry, Fu Jin, I understand."

If Lu Yingfeng knew what Fu Jin was thinking, he would definitely feel very wronged.

However, compared to Lu Yingfeng, the ones who were more uneasy were Chen Fuyi and Cui'er.

After leaving Yue Mingxuan, Doctor Chen went to the main courtyard to report Lu Yingfeng's situation. However, Lady Fu Jin did not believe it and was even afraid that Doctor Chen would reveal her secret of harming her offspring. So she got rid of Doctor Chen and found Doctor Wang from outside to be the doctor.

She had never taken any action on Cui'er's side, probably because Cui'er had never been valued by Lu Yingfeng.

Jianqiu used the death of Chen Fuyi to threaten and bribe Cui'er, and Cui'er repeatedly promised to work for the main court.

Yuemingxuan.

Yinzhen and Lu Yingfeng lay on the bed, covered with a quilt and just chatting.

"I am busy with the affairs of the former dynasty and may not be able to take care of you. Fortunately, my wife is virtuous and will take good care of you for me. If you need anything, go to my wife and she will make the decision for you."

Lu Yingfeng laughed in his heart, she takes care of him?

Is it the kind of care for a stillborn baby or the kind of care for two lives?

Only Yinzhen believed the mask of Fu Jin, and really thought she was such a virtuous person. There were so many women in the backyard, but so few children. He never thought of investigating it, and just thought every day that it was God's punishment for him.

I really don't know whether to say he is naive or stupid, he actually believes that everything in the backyard is peaceful. (Minor fights don't count)

Lu Yingfeng knew that he would definitely face Fu Jin's endless tricks next.

In fact, Fu Jin Nian was also a sharp knife. The abortion of her child was also caused by Fu Jin Nian. As long as Lu Yingfeng revealed this to her, with Fu Jin Nian's brutal methods, Fu Jin would either die or be injured.

But Lu Yingfeng knew that once his wife was gone, Yinzhen would definitely marry again.

It was impossible for him to make a Han woman his principal wife.

Since the Manchus entered the Pass, there has been no empress or wife of the Han army. Nian Fujin did not understand this, and still dreamed of becoming the legitimate wife, but others knew it clearly. (Empress Xiaoyichun was during the reign of Emperor Qianlong)

Apart from the wife, the only Manchu military flag in the mansion was Shumulu Yafu. However, Shumulu Yafu's family background was not high, her father was only a sixth-rank official in Beijing, and was from a branch of the Shumulu family. Most importantly, she was not very smart, so Yinzhen could not possibly make her his wife.

Therefore, it would be better to let Fu Jin occupy this position and wait until Yinzhen ascends the throne to stabilize the previous dynasty.

On the surface, Lu Yingfeng temporarily withdrew from the emperor's sleeping arrangement because of her pregnancy. There was one less person vying for favor in the backyard, and the competition between Mrs. Nian and Fu Gege became more intense.

No matter how difficult it was for Mrs. Nian, Fu Gege had to fight for it. After all, her father was a Beijing official and a civil servant, and Nian Gengyao had no right to transfer him.

Fu Gege no longer had any worries, and later she asked Yinzhen to ask for permission so that she no longer had to go to Mi Xiuyuan to set rules. She became even less worried.

Today she goes to the front yard to deliver a bowl of soup, and tomorrow she will go to the front yard to deliver some snacks.

Yinzhen was fine, but Su Peisheng and Xiao Xiazi ate their fill.

During this period of time, whenever Lu Yingfeng saw Feigege's look of wanting to win favor but being afraid of Lady Nian, he felt that he should get rid of Lu Xian as soon as possible, and it would be best if he could bring him to the capital.

After much thought, Lv Yingfeng decided that there were three essential items for a time-traveling woman: cowpox, cement, and glass. Of the three, cement was more suitable for Lv Xian. In her last small world, she specially copied the recipes for cowpox, cement, and glass and put them in her space, just so that she could use them in other small worlds in the future.

If you take out the cowpox, you should be able to get promoted.

As for the official position, Lu Yingfeng felt that the official position and the region were too uncontrollable. If after all his hard work Lu Xian still stayed in Sichuan, it would be better not to hand over the cowpox prescription, so as not to be the first to stand out and be targeted.

As for glass, once it comes out, it will definitely be very profitable, and Lu Xian, with his insignificant influence, may not be able to protect it.

But cement is different.

If cement is used, then Lu Xian will most likely go to Beijing and work in the Ministry of Works. If he is sent out in the future, he will repair the river, which will have nothing to do with Nian Gengyao, and will not affect the interests of too many people.

So Lu Yingfeng wrote a letter home, mentioning that she was pregnant and had been promoted to a concubine, and told her father to stay away from Nian Gengyao and not to associate with him.

Then he wrote down the method of making cement and its uses, and asked his father to do a few more experiments according to the recipe before submitting a memorial to the emperor.

Ten days later, Mianzhou.

Several big men appeared in front of the gate of the prefect Lu Xian's house and said to the guards at the gate: "We are escorts from the Yong'an Escort Agency. Someone in the capital paid us to escort a wooden box to Lord Lu. The courier said that the wooden box must be received by Lord Lu in person, so I'd like to trouble you to pass on the message."

The guard at the gate knew that the only daughter of Lord Lu's family was assigned to Prince Yong's mansion during the selection this year. This wooden box came from the capital, and it was very likely sent by the eldest daughter, so he was very serious and told the escorts to wait, and then he went to Lu Xian's study in person.

After hearing the report, Lu Xian quickly asked the guards to bring the leading escort over.

After confirming that Lu Xian was the male master of the mansion, the escort handed over the wooden box.

After the people left, Lu Xian removed the seal on the wooden box, opened it and saw a box of jewelry and a letter from home inside.

The content of the letter was very simple, just telling about her situation in the mansion and her pregnancy and promotion to concubine. Lu Xian was very excited after reading it, but as he read it, he felt that something was wrong with the letter.

Why did the daughter only talk about her own situation in the letter and not ask about the health of her parents and her brothers at home?

This is not like his daughter's personality. His daughter is obviously very eloquent. Even when she went to stay at her grandparents' house for a short time, she would write at least three pages of letters to him.

Lu Xian thought of his daughter's request to give him the wooden box, and guessed that there must be something hidden in the box. So he took out all his jewelry and searched every corner of the box. Finally, he found a letter at the bottom of the box.

Lu Xian immediately opened the letter and read it carefully. In the letter, Lu Yingfeng said that he used the previous letter to cover up this letter so that no one would see it.

After hearing his daughter's long words of concern for them, Lu Xian saw his daughter say that she wanted to stay away from Nian Gengyao.

Lu Xian thought that there was a concubine in Prince Yong's backyard who was Nian Gengyao's sister. He was afraid that the other party might have bullied his daughter or even threatened her with him, so his daughter asked him to stay away from Nian Gengyao?

Although Lu Xian didn't know the specific reason, he decided to listen to his daughter. After all, his daughter would not harm him.

Then he saw the formula and uses of cement. Lu Xian was extremely excited. He had a feeling that as long as he could make cement, their Lu family would rise!

Moreover, it is very likely that I will be transferred to the capital. When my family is in the capital, maybe my wife will be able to see my daughter. My daughter will be able to stand up straight in front of Mrs. Nian.

So Lu Xian immediately started to get busy.

After knowing that Lü Yingfeng was pregnant, Fu Jin, when paying her respects, said on the surface that she wanted Lü Yingfeng to take good care of the baby and give Yinzhen a lively and healthy little prince, and then she would be roasted on the fire.

In fact, she and other people in the mansion were doing many things behind the scenes!

Her food was incompatible with hers, the new flowers sent to the garden were buried with musk kernels, and pebbles were placed on the road to the main courtyard to pay her respects.

Because some methods could not be delivered, they even had people throw pebbles into Yue Mingxuan's yard in the middle of the night.

Lu Yingfeng herself was not afraid of these means, but the maids in the yard still had to get married.

Cui Er was a thorn in her side, but Ting Lan was her maidservant, and Si Xi seemed to be a serious servant. In order to test her, Lu Yingfeng had even led her to discover the thing that could hurt the fetus, just to see if Si Xi would tell her on his own initiative. After the test, the result was good, and Si Xi could be trusted for the time being.

Lu Yingfeng felt that he couldn't let them get involved.

The food for servants was not very good, and masters who loved their servants would usually give their leftovers to them. Lu Yingfeng was a bit of a germaphobe, and she would eat in a corner every time she ate, so she would not dirty other food, so Tinglan and the other five followed her to eat.

These incompatible foods do not cause any harm to eunuchs, but they harm women's bodies. Those who are unable to conceive will find it difficult to get pregnant, and those who are pregnant will easily suffer miscarriage.

Once or twice, Lu Yingfeng could give those things that were harmful to women's health to the eunuchs to eat, but the third time, there was no dish that was not harmful to the body on the table.

Lu Yingfeng was so angry that he put down his chopsticks and ordered Xiao Xiangzi with a cold face, "Go and invite the prince over, and tell him that I have something important to tell you!"

Xiao Xiangzi is Yue Mingxuan's oldest servant. He is steady and capable in his work. Lu Yingfeng has the idea of training him to become a great eunuch, so the tasks that require going out in public are usually given to him.

"Yes, slave, go right now!"

Lu Yingfeng was pregnant with Yinzhen's child, and she was not like Li Fujin and Nian Fujin who relied on the children in their belly to win favor. Yinzhen knew that she must have something serious to say if she was calling him so anxiously.

As soon as Yinzhen entered the room, he saw Lu Yingfeng sitting at the dining table with red eyes. When she saw him coming, she was about to stand up while stroking her belly. Yinzhen quickly held her down and said, "No need to be polite. Sit down and talk."

A pair of big hands held her pitiful little face and asked softly: "What happened? Is someone bullying you?"

When he asked her so gently, Lu Yingfeng immediately started to show off her acting skills. The tears that were about to fall instantly dripped into Yinzhen's palm, burning it and making it itchy. His heart seemed to be pulled, and he became even more nervous.

He hurriedly wiped away her tears with his hands, "Don't cry, I'll take care of you if you have any problem!"

Lu Yingfeng felt that the atmosphere had been set, so she pointed at the food on the table and said with a sob, "Master, before the selection, my mother taught me how to guard against the tricks of the harem, and I know her words by heart. These days, I found that there was something wrong with the food, and used the method of food incompatibility. Pregnant women will have miscarriages if they eat too much. I don't know which god I have offended, and I am very scared. Apart from you, I really don't know who to trust!"

When Yinzhen heard this, he was shocked! They finally had a pregnant woman in their house, but she was almost killed by someone!

Then he recalled that several of his princesses had either suffered miscarriage or died, and he felt that the backyard was not as peaceful as he thought.

Who did it?

Nian family name?

Or the Li family?

It can't be Fu Jin, right?

Seeing him frowning, Lu Yingfeng knew he was brainstorming, so she gave him time to think, and continued after a while: "Not only that, there have been pebbles on the road these days, and I almost slipped several times. Fortunately, Tinglan and others were helpful. Yesterday, Sixi, who was beside me, also found musk kernels buried in several newly delivered flower pots. Xiao Xiangzi and Xiao Tangzi also found that there were always pebbles in the yard recently. Yesterday, they stayed up all night and found that the pebbles were thrown in from outside. But the other party ran fast, so they only hit him on the back of the head with the pebbles, but failed to catch up with him."

Lu Yingfeng timidly grasped Yinzhen's clothes and said in a soft voice, "Master, I am scared."

With so many tricks, I wonder if it was done by several people or just one person. If it was done by one person, then it would be too scary for such a person to exist in his backyard.

Moreover, the person who can control the large kitchen and the garden must be the one in charge of managing the affairs of the royal palace.

Now the household is managed by Fu Jin and Nian Fu Jin. One of them is Rouze's sister, and the other is Nian Gengyao's sister whom he needs. Neither of them can be touched.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Now is the critical moment in the fight for the throne, and nothing can go wrong in his backyard, otherwise he will be blamed for the unrest in the inner court.

We still need to send someone to investigate. But Yinzhen also has to prepare for the worst. He looked at Lu Yingfeng with guilt in his eyes and patted the back of her hand, thinking that even if it was found out that those two did it, she would have to bear the consequences.

"I will send someone to investigate this matter. Come with me to the front yard for dinner today. I will ask Su Peisheng to personally arrange a small kitchen and a few cooks for you. From now on, your food will be from me, and the cooks will not be in the hands of Concubine's people."

"Speaking of this, I just remembered. You are already a concubine, and you should have two first-class maids, two second-class maids, and four eunuchs. The concubine neglected to assign you the right people. I will also tell Su Peisheng to make the arrangements. It's going to snow soon, and the roads will be slippery in cold weather. I will tell the concubine that you don't have to go to the main courtyard to pay respects since you are pregnant."

In this way, even Yinzhen could give him an explanation.

Lu Yingfeng knew the truth in his heart. Not to mention that Concubine De in the palace helped to clean up the mess, Yinzhen would not be able to find out. Even if he found out, he would help Concubine Fu to conceal it in order to stabilize the backyard.

Therefore, Lu Yingfeng never thought of using this opportunity to bring down the concubine. He just wanted to plant a suspicion in Yinzhen's heart and gain some benefits for himself.

Now, her Yue Ming Xuan has a small kitchen and a cook selected for her by Su Peisheng, so she doesn't have to worry about food anymore.

Moreover, Yinzhen also ordered Su Peisheng to provide her with servants. With Su Peisheng's help, those people must be Yinzhen's men.

This way, she can rest assured.

After the two of them had dinner, Lv Yingfeng didn't want to stay in the front yard any longer, so she said she wanted to go back to Yuemingxuan. Yinzhen asked Xiao Xiazi to follow her with a bunch of clothing materials and jewelry. Lv Yingfeng got the benefits and happily packed them up and put them into the warehouse, but another batch of porcelain in Fujin's courtyard was broken.

"That bitch Lu actually went to the prince to make a decision! She was able to find out the incompatibility of food and musk, it's definitely not a simple thing! If I hadn't reacted quickly just now, the prince would have suspected me!"

"Don't worry, Madam. As soon as I heard that Madam Lu had invited the prince, I immediately cleaned up the mess. Even if the prince investigates, he will only find the house next door." Jianqiu comforted.

After Fu Jin vented her anger, she felt relieved, but her head felt like it was being pricked by needles. She knew that her old illness was coming back, but she continued, "It's just that the prince is already concerned, so Lu can't move for the time being."

Jianqiu, as the captain's capable assistant, was already familiar with the job, so she rubbed Fu Jin's head while saying quietly, "Don't worry, Fu Jin. A pregnancy lasts for ten months, and Fu Jin Lu is only three months pregnant. There's still a long time to go. Even if we can't move her for the time being, she will still give birth."

"Well, we need to make arrangements with the midwife."

"Yes, I have remembered this."

Before having dinner with Lu Yingfeng, Yinzhen had already asked Su Peisheng to investigate.

Lu Yingfeng actually knew who the people who attacked her were. But she also knew that with Su Peisheng's ability, some people could be found out, while others could not.

For example, as for the person who threw the pebble, Lu Yingfeng made the clues so obvious, so Su Peisheng immediately took people to search the heads of all the eunuchs in the yard, and finally found the person in Li Fujin's Qingyin Courtyard.

Su Peisheng was smart enough to know that although there were pebbles on Qing'an Road and Yuemingxuan, the pebbles in these two places were not made by the same person. Because no matter how he looked at it, Su Peisheng felt that the act of throwing pebbles was stupid.

He was wondering how Mrs. Li could think of throwing pebbles into someone else's yard in the middle of the night? Didn't she think that the noise would be too loud and wake people up?

Although it is December now, there has only been one snowfall, which melted as soon as it hit the ground. There is no thick snow covering the ground, and the sound of stones falling on the ground is quite loud!

Look at how covertly people use food to counteract each other, bury musk in flower pots, and place pebbles on the Qingan Road, and then look at this!

However, this stupid and direct method of harming others really fits Li Fujin's character.

"Manager Su, why did you arrest Xiao Yingzi? Xiao Yingzi's head was accidentally hit in the middle of the night. Did you arrest the wrong person? It wasn't him who threw the pebble!"

Su Peisheng couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this. He felt like he understood why the Third Prince was so... naive, he really looked like his mother ten percent.

"Li Fu-jin, I never said I wanted to arrest the person who threw the pebbles. How did you know that?"

"Ah?" Li Fujin realized that she was being evasive and collapsed to the ground in fear. She struggled to argue, "I heard it from others. Steward Su, it's none of my business. I know nothing."

"Li Fu-jin, please don't explain these things to me. Follow me to the front yard and explain them to the prince. The prince will be able to figure it out."

"Your Highness..." Mrs. Li felt so guilty that she refused to go to the front yard with Su Peisheng no matter what. She went straight into the main house without even asking about Xiao Yingzi.

Su Peisheng laughed and shook his head, this Mrs. Li!

Su Peisheng was just about to continue investigating the matter of another cobblestone when he heard Xiao Xiazi come to report that a woman from the kitchen had run away from the house. It was said that someone saw her running to the house next door.

Su Peisheng couldn't help but frown.

next door.

Isn't that the Eighth Master's Mansion?

Could it be that the old woman is the Eighth Master's woman?

Su Peisheng had doubts in his heart, suspecting that someone had deliberately designed this to disrupt his attention. However, since the matter had already involved Mr. Ba, he could not continue to investigate.

We have to put aside the issue of food incompatibility for the time being.

Soon, someone came to report that a eunuch had died in the garden. Su Peisheng hurriedly followed up and found that the eunuch was newly sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and had been in the palace for less than half a year. Because he was taciturn and had no relatives, it was impossible to find out who he belonged to.

The clue of musk kernel was also lost.

This series of events made Su Peisheng feel like he was being played a joke.

If he couldn't find the pebbles on the greeting road, he would not be able to face the prince.

There are pebbles in almost every yard, and it is difficult to tell whose they belong to.

However, Su Peisheng thought that Li Fujin would not be able to think of using pebbles to harm people, so someone must have reminded her.

So Su Peisheng began to interrogate Xiao Yingzi.

But unfortunately, Xiao Yingzi was just an obedient servant. When Lady Li gave him the pebbles and asked him to throw them, he just did as she told him and didn't know anything else.

So Su Peisheng started with the green fruit next to Li Fujin.

"Tell me, how did Li Fu Jin come up with this trick to deal with Lu Shu Fu Jin?"

"I, I don't know. I know nothing. It wasn't my concubine who did it." Cuiguo's eyes rolled around and she trembled, feeling scared and guilty.

Seeing how scared she was, Su Peisheng knew she was timid, so he threatened her in a more serious voice than before: "You are Lady Li's most trusted maid, how could you not know? I advise you to tell me everything you know, otherwise I will report to the prince and send you to the Shenxing Division to let you suffer all 72 punishments. I just don't know how many of them your little body can withstand."

Cuiguo's brain seemed to explode in an instant.

Shenxingsi was where the palace maids and eunuchs who had committed crimes were imprisoned. It was said that few people who entered there could come out alive. Thinking of the many punishments she would receive, Cuiguo quickly revealed what she knew.

"Boss Su, don't send me to the Shenxing Division. I'll tell you everything!"

"Then just tell me. If you can satisfy me, I will let you go."

"Yes, it was Cao Gege. A few days ago, after paying respects to the emperor in the main courtyard, Cao Gege said she wanted to visit Concubine Jin in Qingyin Courtyard, so Concubine Jin invited her over. Cao Gege praised Third Prince for being sensible and filial, and said he would have great luck in the future. Concubine Jin was very happy to hear that. Later, Cao Gege mentioned that she accidentally stepped on a cobblestone and fell in Cuipingzhai. She also said that it was fortunate that she was not pregnant, otherwise she would not be able to keep the baby after such a fall. Our Concubine Jin then became interested."

In this case, what else is there that Su Peisheng doesn't understand.

Cao Gege is taking advantage of the fact that Li Fujin is confused and killing someone with a borrowed knife.

What a vicious thought!

Su Peisheng asked someone to write a confession and asked Cuiguo to put her fingerprints on it. Then he interrogated Yinxiu, who was beside Cao Gege, and got the same confession.

He then went to report to Yinzhen what he had found out and his suspicions about the nanny.

After reading the two confessions, Yinzhen was angry in his heart but appeared very calm.

"Have you ever asked her the reason?"

"After interrogating Yinxiu, I asked Cao Gege. Cao Gege said that she was jealous that Concubine Lü was more favored than her and had a child early, so..."

In fact, Su Peisheng said that it was natural for Concubine Lü to be favored! Concubine Lü's family background and character were better than Cao Qinmo's, and her appearance gradually became more beautiful soon after she entered the mansion. Compared with Cao Qinmo, they were simply heaven and earth.

Su Peisheng dared to say that even if all the women in the palace died, there would never be a time when Cao Qinmo would be so favored!

"Su Peisheng, pass on my order. Mrs. Li is recuperating in Qingyin Court. She must copy scriptures for four hours every day to pray for Mrs. Lu Shu and her unborn child. During this period, no one is allowed to visit her in Qingyin Court until she recovers on New Year's Eve. You go deal with Cao. Such a vicious person cannot be kept in the palace. The end of the year is approaching, so it is not appropriate to hold a funeral. Send her away after the first month of the year."

After explaining everything to Su Peisheng, Yinzhen came to Yuemingxuan.

When Yinzhen arrived, Lu Yingfeng was leaning on the beauty couch doing needlework.

"What is Feng'er doing?"

"Master is here." Lu Yingfeng showed him what she had in her hand. "I am embroidering a small bellyband for our child. But my needlework is really not good. I have been sewing and unsewing. I am afraid that by the time the child is born, the bellyband will not be finished."

Yinzhen laughed a few times, "Let me see what you embroidered." Then he picked up the bellyband and observed it, guessing: "Feng'er embroidered persimmons? Is it a good omen for everything to go well?"

Lu Yingfeng snatched the bellyband and looked at the pattern on it, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Yinzhen continued to speculate: "It's not a persimmon, it's an orange? It means good luck and good fortune?"

Lu Yingfeng said aggrievedly: "...I embroidered a pomegranate."

"Ah?" It turned out to be a pomegranate. Yinzhen really didn't expect it. In fact, he guessed it was a steamed bun at first, but he didn't say it out of consideration for Lu Yingfeng's face. Looking at her pitiful little face, Yinzhen couldn't help but pinch it and said, "Pomegranate is good, pomegranate is good, it means having many children, good fortune, wealth and good luck."

Yinzhen came here to tell Lu Yingfeng the results of his investigation. However, he only mentioned Cao Gege and put all the blame on Cao Gege.

"Don't worry, Feng'er. I've already punished her. No one will hurt you and the child again."

Lu Yingfeng was moved and hugged him, burying her head in his neck, showing that she trusted him very much, but in fact, her eyes were rolling up to the sky.

She didn't expect that Su Peisheng was so incompetent that he couldn't even catch Cui'er who was beside her.

Lu Yingfeng was speechless. Fortunately, she had originally planned to keep her to deal with Fu Jin in the future, otherwise she would have been angered to death by Su Peisheng.

However, she felt that Yinzhen came here this time to fool her.

Apart from anything else, he didn't find out after all.

But Lu Yingfeng didn't expect that he was actually helping Li Fujin to keep it a secret.

Lu Yingfeng soon realized that he was afraid that she would resent Li Fujin, and was afraid that she might make a wrong decision and harm the Third Prince, so he simply kept it a secret.

But there is no wall that is completely airtight.

Yue Mingxuan caused quite a stir, and Su Peisheng brought people to investigate everywhere. These things could not be concealed from anyone in the mansion, and those who had done wrong were naturally very nervous.

When everyone learned that Mrs. Li and Gege Cao were recuperating at home, everyone guessed something.

But the prince said they were sick and no one dared to say or ask more.

For a moment, everyone in the backyard became much more obedient.

Except for Fujin.

"Jianqiu, yesterday was the fifteenth day of the lunar year, and the prince didn't come, not to mention that he didn't even pass on a message to me. Did the prince discover something? Is he trying to warn me?"

Jianqiu was also puzzled, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it should not be the case.

"Fujin, the prince is probably just suspicious. He has no evidence, otherwise he would have come to question you long ago. As long as we don't take any action next, the prince will dispel his doubts. Besides, the palace banquet will be held on New Year's Eve soon. When you and the prince go to the palace, you can ask Concubine De to persuade him. The prince is filial and will definitely listen to Concubine De."

"Yes! I still have my aunt, and she will definitely stand by my side! There is no need to wait for the palace banquet. I will hand in the card and enter the palace right away."

Yinzhen did suspect Fu Jin.

This is because she is one of the two suspects in the mansion, the other one is Mrs. Nian.

But Yinzhen knew that Concubine Nian's methods were all overt. If she wanted to torture people, she would really do it. She would not do anything behind the scenes, and she did not have the brains to do so.

What's more, anyone who could think of using food incompatibility and burying musk seeds to harm people must be someone who understands medical principles.

In the entire backyard, Fu Jin is the only one who understands medicine.

Yinzhen couldn't help but suspect her, but he didn't confront her because he couldn't find any evidence. But because of these suspicions in his heart, he didn't want to face Fu Jin for the time being.

On New Year's Eve, because the two masters of the mansion had to go to the palace, Fujin Nian, who was in charge of the mansion affairs, would host a banquet in Mixiuyuan to celebrate the New Year with everyone.

This is also true this year.

Those present included Nian Fu Jin, Li Fu Jin, Lü Ying Feng, Feng Ge Ge, Fei Ge Ge, and Fu Ge Ge. Cao Ge Ge was ill and did not come, and Qi Shu Fu Jin was not invited at all.

Mrs. Li seemed to be really ill. She lost a lot of weight and became timid. She didn't even dare to look at Lu Yingfeng for long.

Lu Yingfeng was too lazy to argue with this idiot and just ate and drank.

Now that Yinzhen and the divisive concubine are not around, the few of them can get along harmoniously.

At the table, the wife acted like a mistress, caring about this and that, rarely showing disdain to them. When she mentioned the wife, she couldn't help but taunt him, "Speaking of which, the prince didn't stay in the main courtyard last time on the 15th. I don't know if the wife can keep the prince here today, hehe~"

As a lackey of Nian Fu Jin, Fei Gege immediately agreed, "Fu Jin is old and not favored by the prince. The prince is unwilling to put himself in a difficult position. What can Fu Jin do? Speaking of favor, who in our palace can compare to you, Nian Fu Jin! Take the Huan Yi Xiang in this room for example. That is the fragrance that the prince personally selected for you. He also gave it such a good name. It is only for you to enjoy. Others don't have this blessing!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Nian was even happier. She was so happy that she gave Feigege a pair of white jade bracelets.

Lu Yingfeng looked at the pair of bracelets and remembered that Yinzhen once gave a pair of jade bracelets to his concubine, who was still a concubine. He also held her hand and said to her, "I wish I had such rings so that we can see each other day and night." However, people's hearts are fickle, and no matter how beautiful the promises were, they all became fleeting clouds.

Smelling the fragrance of Huanyi in the room, Lu Yingfeng felt that Mrs. Nian was pathetic and pitiful. She thought to herself that if Mrs. Nian did not target her in the future and did not do those things that hurt others, she would give her a pill to conceive a girl.

On the contrary, she felt that if Yinzhen did not stop Concubine Nian's rampant temper, the following things might happen. She would probably save the pill for conceiving a girl.

In the palace, after the palace banquet, Concubine De called Yinzhen and his wife to Yonghe Palace.

"Old Fourth, Mother heard that you have been neglecting your wife recently and have not even gone to the main courtyard?"

Although Defei's words were not a question, Yinzhen couldn't help feeling impatient.

After all, no one would feel comfortable if their mother were in charge of the backyard affairs.

However, due to filial piety, Yinzhen replied honestly: "Yes, I am busy with government affairs and have no time."

De Fei glanced at Fu Jin who was hanging her head, snorted coldly and said, "Then how can you have time to go to someone else's room?"

Yinzhen was silent.

Concubine De continued, "Fu Jin has been with you for many years, and has taken care of all the affairs in the palace for you. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. You are so disrespectful to her because of her momentary oversight. How can she have a dignified foothold in the backyard? And you are so neglectful of Fu Jin, isn't it just making her relatives sad and her enemies happy?"

"What does mother mean?" Yinzhen asked.

"When my mother heard about Concubine Lu's affair, she asked someone to investigate. It took several days to find out the result. It was undoubtedly done by the Eighth Elder. That woman was the distant cousin of the Eighth Elder's nanny. She came to the mansion to be a spy, but the Eighth Elder had few children and couldn't bear to see you surrounded by children, so she asked that woman to do it. It's a pity that the woman disappeared after entering the Eighth Elder's mansion. If you don't believe me, go and check it yourself."

Defei was confident that if she could clean up the mess herself, Yinzhen would not be able to find out.

At this time, Yinzhen was still just a prince, and no one from the Sticking Rod Office worked for him. In addition, he believed that although he was not the favorite son of Concubine De, Concubine De would not protect the murderer who hurt his child, so he really believed this statement.

But he didn't favor his wife, and he only respected her. So even though he knew she was innocent, he didn't favor her much, but just allowed her to stay overnight on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.

Fu Jin knew that she was old and had injured her body when giving birth to the eldest prince, so she had been unable to bear children for a long time. Therefore, she had no hope of Yinzhen's favor and just felt disappointed in her heart.

Yinzhen was busy with affairs before the New Year and rarely went to the backyard. Maybe he hadn't been to Yue Mingxuan for many days.

When Lu Yingfeng paid her respects recently, Fu Jin Nian mocked her, saying that it was useless even though she was pregnant and she couldn't keep Yinzhen, which made Lu Yingfeng very angry.

She was so angry that she decided to teach Mrs. Nian a lesson.

When Lu Yingfeng learned that Mrs. Nian had asked the small kitchen to prepare a table of dishes and sent someone to the front yard to invite Yinzhen, he quickly asked Xiao Xiangzi to go to the front yard to deliver snacks and intercepted Yinzhen that night.

"I pay my respects to you, Master~"

Lu Yingfeng wanted to seduce her, so he naturally had to soften his posture. He greeted her softly and pulled her towards the dining table.

"My Lord, I haven't eaten with you for several days. I missed you so much that I prepared a table of your favorite food. I hope you will enjoy it."

"Okay." Yinzhen tapped Lu Yingfeng's nose and replied with a smile, "Then I'll try it."

There were not so many rules when Lu Yingfeng and Yinzhen had meals. Of course, that was also because Yinzhen was not the emperor yet, so the rules were not so strict.

During the meal, Lu Yingfeng poured Yinzhen a few glasses of wine.

...It's the kind of warm sake that the Queen Mother prepared for Shen Meizhuang in the drama.

After finishing his meal, Yinzhen felt hot and thought it was because the charcoal basin in the room was too hot, so he suggested that he accompany Lu Yingfeng for a walk in the yard to help digest the food and cool down.

It's a pity that the heat didn't dissipate much, and Yinzhen still felt dry mouth.

After returning to the house and drinking a few cups of herbal tea, Yinzhen touched Lu Yingfeng's belly and asked, "It's been four months, right?"

Lu Yingfeng nodded in agreement, then took the initiative to put her arms around his neck.

Yinzhen knew that Lu Yingfeng was beautiful, but he felt that Lu Yingfeng was particularly beautiful tonight.

Yinzhen could no longer control himself, and picked up Lu Yingfeng and carefully placed her on the bed. Not wanting to press on her stomach, he laid her on her side and gently took her.

"How is your stomach? Are you feeling any discomfort? I shouldn't have-" Lu Yingfeng covered his mouth with her hands, wishing she could stick her whole body to him, and said softly: "Master, I am fine, my stomach is fine. You forgot what the palace doctor said, I am in very good health. Moreover, I feel very comfortable."

After a month, Lu Yingfeng finally experienced a wonderful nightlife again, but she was still a little unsatisfied. Without waiting for him to speak, she turned over and sat on him, seducing him to do it again.

Although Yinzhen was experienced, he had never been held down by a woman. If he had never experienced this, he would definitely feel humiliated.

But after experiencing it personally, he found it novel, exciting, and labor-saving!

Anyway, both of them were very satisfied with this night.

To be on the safe side, Yinzhen asked the court doctor to check Lu Yingfeng's pulse the next day. After learning that her pulse was as good as ever, he no longer hesitated and would stay overnight at Yuemingxuan from time to time.

The women in the backyard, especially Mrs. Nian, were so angry that their teeth were itching.

Lu Yingfeng was pregnant and favored, she was the talk of the town.

One day when Lu Yingfeng was eight months pregnant, Yinzhen came excitedly to her Quyuan Fenghe.

That's right, because Kangxi went to Changchun Garden to escape the summer heat, Yinzhen also took the women in the backyard to the Old Summer Palace next to Changchun Garden.

In Fu Cha Yi Xin's previous life, she lived in Shangxia Tianguang. In this life, she wanted something different, so she chose Quyuan Fenghe, which was built in imitation of Quyuan in West Lake, Hangzhou.

She also plans to live in a different place in each life, so that she can appreciate all the scenery of the Old Summer Palace.

Seeing Yinzhen's happy face, Lu Yingfeng had some guesses in his mind, but still asked: "Why do you look so happy today?"

Yinzhen smiled and put his arm around her waist, telling her: "Feng'er, your father has done a great deed!"

Lu Yingfeng continued to pretend to be ignorant: "Ah? What great achievement? My father is just a prefect, what achievement can he make?"

"The emperor said at the morning court today that your father had developed a material called cement, which is mainly composed of cement, supplemented by sand, stone, and water. When mixed together, it forms a building material called concrete. Your father said in his memorial that this building material is very strong and can be used to build houses, roads, city walls, and rivers. In fact, the emperor called your father back to the capital a month ago, but it was not known whether the matter would succeed or not at that time, so the emperor kept it a secret until it was successful today. The emperor was very happy and announced at the morning court that your father had been promoted. Now, your father is the Minister of Works!"

Yinzhen was really happy from the bottom of his heart, because his woman's family was powerful, which was equivalent to giving him more strength.

He also liked Lü Xian's tact. When he was dealing with cement, he wrote him a secret letter. Yinzhen immediately sent his confidant to Mianzhou to see the cement with his own eyes. After getting a positive answer from the confidant, he asked Lü Xian to submit a memorial himself, but he pretended not to know.

"That's great!" Lu Yingfeng almost jumped up with excitement. Because the Minister of Works was a second-rank official, higher than both of Mrs. Nian's brothers, now in the whole backyard, she was the first in terms of family background!

And most importantly, she fulfilled one of the original owner's wishes, which was to promote her father, and she did it!

"Master, my father stayed in the capital. Will mother and the others come over too? I miss them."

"Of course. The Emperor gave your father a three-story mansion. It only takes half an hour to drive from the palace. Your father has already moved in. I think your mother and her family will be here soon. If they can make it, I will take your mother to accompany you in giving birth."

"Mianzhou is a long way away, and my mother and her friends have to pack their luggage and say goodbye to their relatives and friends over there. I'm afraid they won't be able to make it in time."

There was a hint of loss in Lu Yingfeng's tone, which was an emotion inherent in the original owner.

Yinzhen obviously sensed it, so he comforted her, "It doesn't matter if you can't make it in time. There are still our child's full-month banquet and hundred-day banquet. You can also invite your mother to your house occasionally."

Lu Yingfeng cooperated with red eyes, looking at him with a touched face, "Master, you treat me so well. Since I entered the palace, you have been considerate in every way. I really don't know how to repay you."

Yinzhen: "You are my woman. If I don't care about you, who will? You don't have to think too much. Just give birth to the child. If you really want to thank me, give me more children."

Lu Yingfeng acted shy, gently hit Yinzhen's chest with her little fist, and said coquettishly: "Master~"

To celebrate Lü Xian's promotion, Lü Yingfeng awarded Quyuan Fenghe two months' salary.

Now Lu Yingfeng's servants include—

First-class maids: Tinglan, Milan

Second-class maids: Xilan, Cuilan

The Great Eunuch: Xiang Jinhai

Little eunuchs: Little Tangzi, Little Dingzi, Little Taozi

Chef: Zhang Yongliang

Little Chef: Xiao Hezi

Lu Yingfeng admitted that she had a bit of a bad taste. When Su Peisheng sent the servants he had found for her, Milan introduced her as a second-class maid in the front yard. Lu Yingfeng thought that she couldn't let her come here and be a second-class maid. After all, she was Yinzhen's person, so she had to give her some face, so she made her a first-class maid.

Milan immediately knelt down and begged her to give her a name. She thought that since she and Tinglan were both first-class maids, she should also give her a name with the word "Lan" in it. As a result, the first name that popped into her mind was Milan, the Milan in Italian.

Milan has since changed its name.

When Si Xi saw that she changed Milan's name, she also begged Lu Yingfeng to give her a new name.

In order not to appear out of place, Cui'er also asked for a name.

Lu Yingfeng was not good at naming, so he simply changed their names. Si Xi became Xi Lan and Cui Er became Cui Lan. They got nice names and were very happy.

Xiang Jinhai was the original Xiao Xiangzi. Because he was the oldest and the most efficient and smooth in his work, Lu Yingfeng directly promoted him to the chief eunuch.

He also chose a name with the character "Hai" in it and added the character "Jin" in the middle, hoping that his name would bring him some wealth.

The remaining Zhang Yongliang, Xiao Hezi, Xiao Dingzi and Xiao Taozi were sent here with Milan.

The person Su Peisheng found should be safe to use. Even if she is not sure, she can go to the system space to buy the Loyalty Pill after the baby is born.

Because of Lu Yingfeng's previous amazing actions, Fu Jin was afraid of being suspected by Yinzhen, so she never took any action again.

But Lu Yingfeng knew clearly that Fu Jin would never allow her to give birth to the child safely, otherwise she would not be the abortion team leader Ulanara Yixiu.

Lu Yingfeng was not afraid of taking medicine and avoiding bumps, but she was afraid that the midwife would do something to her, such as twisting the fetal position, pushing the baby back, or deliberately tearing her lower body.

Fortunately, Lu Yingfeng had made all the necessary preparations.

Fu Jin was a filial daughter-in-law, and she would go to the palace to pay respects to Concubine De on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month. Now that Concubine De had moved to Changchun Garden with Emperor Kangxi, she would go to Changchun Garden to pay respects.

It was May 15th, and there was still nearly a month before Lu Yingfeng's actual due date.

Yinzhen went to Changchun Garden to attend the morning court. Fu Jin also went out as usual. Lu Yingfeng took a labor-inducing pill from the system space and swallowed it. When her stomach began to move, she took another pain-relieving pill and said to Tinglan, "Tinglan, I'm about to give birth. Call Cuilan over quickly."

Lu Yingfeng had already told everyone what they were going to do on the day of delivery, so after hearing the news that Lu Yingfeng had started, everyone started to get busy.

After she was eight months pregnant, her wife sent two midwives over.

Because there was no loyalty pill available at the moment, Lu Yingfeng designed to drive one of them out on the grounds of dirty hands and feet, and then asked Yinzhen to find her another midwife. Because it was Su Peisheng who did it, he was trustworthy.

Lu Yingfeng gave instructions early on, on the day she gave birth.

Xiao Dingzi was responsible for causing an accidental injury to Fu Jin's midwife. It didn't have to be too serious, just a sprained foot.

In the small kitchen, Zhang Yongliang and Xiao Hezi were responsible for boiling water.

Xiao Taozi was responsible for secretly inviting another court doctor named Yang. If anyone found out, they would say that she was suffering from morning sickness in the late stage of pregnancy.

Xiang Jinhai and Xiao Taozi were responsible for guarding the gate to prevent anyone from disturbing them.

Tinglan accompanied the mother during the birthing, and Milan brought in the midwife prepared by Su Peisheng. Xilan was ostensibly responsible for assisting, but in fact she was looking after Cuilan.

After the midwife arrived, Lu Yingfeng officially started giving birth. Her fetus was in a good position, and she took a pill for smooth delivery. She followed the midwife's instructions step by step, and under the effect of the pill, she gave birth to the little prince in less than an hour.

After the midwife had taken care of the little prince, she first sent him to Lu Yingfeng. As usual, Lu Yingfeng fed the little prince a set of three-piece body-building pills, a wisdom-enhancing pill, and an immunity to all poisons pill, and then asked Milan to carry him out to see the palace physician for pulse diagnosis.

He lay on the bed and used his consciousness to open the system mall. He bought a bunch of loyalty pills and gave one to Tinglan first. He then asked her to give them to everyone except Cuilan and the midwife.

It has to be said that Lu Yingfeng acted very quickly. When Yinzhen came back from court with his wife, the little prince had already finished feeding and fell asleep. Lu Yingfeng waited for a long time, but Yinzhen and his wife didn't come back, so she fell asleep too.

Fu Jin suppressed her anger and congratulated Yinzhen with a smile.

While looking at his fat son who was sleeping, Yinzhen asked the doctor of Yang Mansion, "Are the concubine and the little prince all right?"

Doctor Yang: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although the little prince was born a month early, he is in very good health. Concubine Concubine is also fine, she just fell asleep due to exhaustion."

Yinzhen was very happy to have a healthy son, but he thought of Lv Yingfeng's premature birth and suspected someone had done something wrong, so he asked Tinglan, "Why did Concubine Jin give birth prematurely?"

Tinglan knelt down with red eyes and said, "In reply to the prince, it was Cuilan who wanted to harm the concubine. The concubine felt unwell when she smelled the scent of the sachet on her body, which caused premature birth. Thanks to Xilan for discovering Cuilan's abnormality in time and taking her away, otherwise, otherwise the concubine and the little prince..." As she spoke, she sobbed and cried.

Yinzhen's expression turned cold instantly, and Fu Jin's heart was also hanging in the air.

Doctor Yang also took the loyalty pill. Since then, his master has only been Lv Yingfeng, so he added in time: "In reply to your question, Your Majesty, I checked the contents of the sachet, and they are all spices that can harm the fetus and cause hemorrhage. And judging from the age of those spices, I'm afraid they have been worn for more than half a year."

Tinglan raised her head in shock, "Half a year? Fortunately, Concubine Fujin doesn't usually ask Cuilan to serve her closely, otherwise wouldn't it be..."

At this time, Xiao Dingzi also ran over and knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I found that another midwife had hidden red powder on her body. When the midwife saw that I had found this, she ignored the injury on her foot and fought hard with me. Your Highness, please look!"

Yinzhen didn't say anything, but just glanced at the doctor in the Yang Mansion. The doctor understood and went to check on Xiao Dingzi. He reported back, "Your Highness, this is safflower, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. If a pregnant woman gets this, it will be difficult to save her."

Xiao Dingzi: "Fortunately, the midwife was not paying attention when she went out and sprained her foot, otherwise our concubine's health would have been ruined by her!"

Tinglan: "Please ask the prince to make the decision for the concubine!"

Yinzhen remained silent, and Fu Jin hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this happened in the backyard, so why not let me investigate."

Yinzhen did not respond to Fu Jin's words. He went into the inner room and looked at the sleeping Lu Yingfeng. After a while, he came out and said to Su Peisheng, "You personally interrogate Cuilan and the midwife and make them tell the truth!"

Su Peisheng should step back and order people to take Cuilan and the midwife away.

Unfortunately, before Cuilan and the midwife were taken away, one of them committed suicide by hitting her head against the wall, and the other committed suicide by biting her tongue.

After half a month of investigation, no clues were found and the matter was left unresolved.

In order to compensate Lu Yingfeng, Yinzhen raised her share to that of a concubine.

She also asked Su Peisheng to select three maids and two eunuchs for her.

As usual, Lu Yingfeng fed each person a loyalty pill.

Because of the loyalty pill, Lu Yingfeng discovered that in addition to Cuilan, she also had spies of Concubine De and Concubine Qi, namely Xiao Tangzi and Xiang Jinhai.

However, these two spies had never played any role, so Lu Yingfeng didn't care.

They were all orphans who were paid to do things for them, and they had no relatives or friends, so Lu Yingfeng didn't need to bother saving their families.

Lu Yingfeng was not idle during the confinement period. She first bought a smart voice surveillance system and placed one each for Yinzhen, Fu Jin and Nian Fu Jin.

Then he asked Tinglan to give Liuli, a second-class maid in Fu Jin's courtyard, a loyalty pill, and bought two bad breath pills from the system mall and asked Liuli to put them in Fu Jin's tea.

Prank pills like bad breath pills, fart pills, and hiccup pills are effective for one month. After taking two bad breath pills, Fu Jin's mouth will definitely stink terribly for at least these two months.

As expected, even though Fu Jin had bad breath, she was unwilling to lose the opportunity to show off her status as the principal wife in front of everyone, and still asked everyone to pay their respects to her every day, but she always covered her mouth with a handkerchief soaked in spices when she spoke.

But just in case, one day she lost hold of her handkerchief and it fell to the ground, and she subconsciously opened her mouth and screamed.

Mrs. Nian, who was sitting closest to her, started to retch.

Originally, only Fujin Nian vomited, but Fujin felt that she was being offended, so she ignored the opportunity to pick up the handkerchief and started questioning Fujin Nian.

This question made everyone in the room smell this scent.

So everyone vomited.

Lu Yingfeng, who saw this scene through the smart voice monitoring system, couldn't help but vomit a few times and had no appetite for food that day.

Fu Jin hurriedly asked everyone to leave, and the next day she stayed at home due to illness.

Generally speaking, royal children are not named immediately after they are born, for fear that if a name is given first, the child will not be able to be raised.

However, Lu Yingfeng fed the child three sets of food as soon as he was born. Moreover, the little prince was born very strong, weighing 6.2 jin when he was born.

Yinzhen visited the child almost every day, so he could naturally feel the child's health and intelligence.

Yinzhen was so happy that he announced the little prince's name on the day of the full moon - Hongyang. Yang means the rising sun.

From then on, the little prince had a name and was eligible to be included in the order of seniority, becoming the sixth prince of Prince Yong's mansion.

Originally, concubines were not eligible to attend the banquet. Even if concubines had the word "Fujin" in their name, they were not comparable to concubines and concubines. Concubines could not be on the imperial jade butterfly.

But the wife was ill and couldn't attend. (Actually, she had bad breath and didn't dare to see anyone.)

In addition, Lu Yingfeng's father was a second-rank official and was invited by Yinzhen to attend the celebration, so Yinzhen made an exception and allowed her to attend as well.

The father and daughter hadn't seen each other for more than a year, so they had a lot to talk about. But in public, they couldn't say anything except greeting each other.

Lu Yingfeng had known this would happen, so he wrote a letter in advance and slipped it to Lu Xian when no one was paying attention.

The Lu family was a simple family, and Lu Xian had one wife and two concubines.

Madam Song gave birth to the eldest son, Lu Zhengyuan, and the eldest daughter, Lu Yingfeng.

The eldest aunt gave birth to the second son, Lu Cheng, who is twelve years old this year.

The second concubine gave birth to the third son, Lu Qing, who is nine years old this year.

Lu Xian respected his wife very much and never favored his concubines. Although Song Shi could not treat the two illegitimate sons equally with her own sons, she never neglected or suppressed them. Therefore, the two concubines and the two sons all respected Song Shi very much.

However, Lu Xian jumped from a fifth-rank local official to a second-rank Beijing official overnight, which was no different from a poor man suddenly becoming rich. Lu Yingfeng was very worried.

Lu Yingfeng knew that the position would belong to Yinzhen in the future, and she would definitely fight for that position for her son. You could say she was selfish or heartless, but she really didn't want to have a mother's family that would drag them down.

Therefore, she told Lü Xian in the letter that although the family had been promoted, he must discipline his two younger brothers and not learn from the idle Eight Banners children in the capital, who relied on the power of their family to develop bad habits of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

Let them study and practice martial arts, and then pursue their own future.

And my eldest brother will also take the imperial examination next year. Now I must calm down. After the imperial examination, I will be old enough to discuss marriage. At that time, I don't ask for a girl from a wealthy family, but only a girl from an honest family with a dignified appearance and a peaceful personality.

Lu Xian doted on his daughter, and he knew that he had been promoted to this position thanks to the cement recipe that his daughter "accidentally" figured out.

He admitted that he was a little flattered at the beginning, as there were many people around him flattering him. It was not until he met a few people who wanted to give him beautiful concubines that he calmed down.

How could a good person be willing to give a concubine to his colleague?

Besides, if she were a concubine, she might be a nuisance or a thorn in his side, so he didn't dare to have her.

Anyway, he was not a man who was impatient, and the concubine in his family was not taken by him on his own initiative, but was given to him by his mother. After that, he reduced his contact with those people and did his job honestly and quietly.

After reading his daughter's letter, Lu Xian decided to focus on his family and work with his wife to educate his children well to prevent them from going astray.

Although the rule of the Qing Dynasty was to hold a beauty pageant every three years, the emperor was old and no longer able to perform well in sexual matters, so he was unwilling to hold one anymore. Therefore, after the selection of beauties in the 55th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, which included Lü Yingfeng, Cao Qinmo, and Shumulu Yafu, there had been no more beauty pageants.

Therefore, until the 61st year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the palace was still ruled by just a few of them.

Among the eight women in the palace, Lu Yingfeng's favor has always ranked in the top three, the other two being Mrs. Nian and Fu Gege.

However, although they were equally favored, only Lu Yingfeng had offspring.

Last year, Yinzhen had twins. Although they were twins, they did not look alike, so there was nothing to be ashamed of. Moreover, the twins were the first pair of twins in the history of the Qing Dynasty, so even if they looked alike, it would not matter, after all, they did not have to inherit the throne.

Lu Yingfeng's eldest son Hongyang was named by Yinzhen.

This time, his name was not mentioned among the two little princes.

When Kangxi learned that he had two more grandsons, he was very happy and personally gave them the names Hongming and Hongqing.

After Kangxi returned to Beijing from his northern tour, he learned that the two little princes were about to turn one year old, so he decided to hold a one-year-old birthday banquet in the palace, and Lu Yingfeng was specially allowed to attend.

The seventh prince Hongming grabbed a copy of the Book of Filial Piety, and the eighth prince Hongqing grabbed a small wooden sword. One of them was good at literature, and the other was good at martial arts. Kangxi praised them repeatedly.

If I were not too old and too weak, I would have wanted to pick up these two fair and clean little babies and kiss them tightly.

This was also the first time that Lu Yingfeng met this great emperor of all ages. It was a pity that he was already old and would leave the stage of history in three months.

On November 69, the st year of the Kangxi reign, Emperor Kangxi died in Changchun Garden at the age of .

Prince Yong Aisin-Gioro Yinzhen, in accordance with Kangxi's will, held a coronation ceremony seven days later and issued three imperial edicts in succession.

The first one is to honor her biological mother, Concubine Defei Uya, as the Holy Mother Empress Dowager.

The second one was to posthumously confer the title of Empress Chunyuan on Yuan Fujin Ulanara Rouze.

The third one was the decree to enthrone the successor wife, naming Ulanara Yixiu as the empress.

After Yinzhen ascended the throne, people headed by the Eighth Prince secretly said that he was not a legitimate emperor and that the will was fake. After the Fourteenth Prince came back, he also jumped up and down a lot, thinking that he should be the emperor.

Yinzhen first sent the eighth and ninth brothers to the clan house for confinement, and then issued an imperial decree to send the fourteenth brother to guard the imperial mausoleum.

The Empress Dowager asked Yinzhen several times for this, but Yinzhen was unwilling to call the Fourteenth Prince back.

The Queen Mother threatened Yinzhen that he would not be the Queen Mother, but Yinzhen did not buy it and threatened her with the safety of the Fourteenth Prince.

For the sake of her beloved youngest son, the empress dowager had no choice but to settle down. However, she still played a trick on Yinzhen, saying that she was not worthy of the position and could not compare with Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, so she refused to live in the Cining Palace and moved to the Shoukang Palace, which was owned by the concubines.

Yinzhen had no choice but to relocate the concubines who originally lived in Shoukang Palace and let the Empress Dowager live in Shoukang Palace alone.

The queen was also very angry when she received the decree. She closed the door and angrily shouted in Jingren Palace: "My sister has been dead for so many years, and yet she still wants to suppress me!"

Jian Qiu comforted her from the side: "What's the point of a dead queen? It's just a mourning honor. Your Majesty, you are the mother of the Qing Dynasty. Why bother with a dead person?"

The queen took a deep breath and said, "You are talking about a dead person. Is there no news from the emperor yet?"

The Empress refers to the positions and palace memorials of the concubines. Originally, these should have been decided by her as the Empress. However, when Yinzhen heard her say that Nian Shilan would be conferred the title of Nian Concubine and live in Zhongcui Palace, he looked at her coldly and then decided to make the decision himself.

It's no wonder Yinzhen thought too much. After he decided to move his office and residence to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the West Six Palaces were the palaces closest to him. Not only was Zhongcui Palace located in the West Six Palaces, it was also the palace farthest from him. It was obvious that the queen was narrow-minded and intolerant!

So Yinzhen wrote with great strokes.

Nian Shilan was named Hua Fei and was granted the right to live in Yiku Palace.

Lu Yingfeng was named Concubine Jin and was granted the right to live in Chuxiu Palace.

Qi Yuebin was named Consort Duan and was granted the right to live in Zhongcui Palace.

Li Jingyan was named Consort Qi and was granted the right to live in Changchun Palace.

Geng Shiyun was named Concubine Yu and temporarily lived in the Rehe Palace.

Feng Ruozhao was named Jingpin and was allowed to live in Xianfu Palace.

Fei Yunyan was conferred the title of Li Guiren and was granted the right to live in Qixiang Palace.

Shumulu Yafu was conferred the title of Concubine Fang and was granted the right to live in the Yanxi Palace.

Originally, these decrees were about to be announced, but at that moment, Nian Shilan came in person to bring soup to Yinzhen and casually asked what Yinzhen was doing just now.

Yinzhen did not hide it from her. When Nian Shilan learned that Qi Yuebin had been made a concubine, she was furious. Qi Yuebin was the murderer who killed her child! How could she tolerate this?

So she pestered Yinzhen to demote Qi Yuebin to a noble lady. Yinzhen felt guilty about Qi Yuebin and naturally refused, but he still took a step back and moved Qi Yuebin to the Yanqing Palace outside the twelve east and west palaces. Not only was the location remote, but the place was also small. But in order to appease Nian Shilan's anger, this was the only way.

Unfortunately, Nian Shilan was not satisfied and continued to interfere with Yinzhen's orders.

Shumulu Yafu was exiled to Suiyuxuan, which was located on the west side of the Imperial Garden. It was originally a place for listening to operas. Later, the emperor had too many concubines and other places could not accommodate them, so the stage was demolished and turned into a residence for concubines. Although it was larger than Yanqing Palace, it was much smaller than the East and West Palaces.

Compared to the East and West Zodiac, it is also very remote.

Nian Shilan has not forgotten her lackey Fei Yunyan, and begged Yinzhen to make her a concubine and the head of the Qixiang Palace.

She knew that Lu Yingfeng, Li Jingyan and Geng Shiyun, the three people with children, could not be touched, so she wanted to touch Feng Ruozhao.

In her opinion, when Feng Ruozhao was in the palace, she was just a princess in her mansion and was not worthy of being the mistress of a palace.

But this time Yinzhen did not agree, because he felt guilty towards Feng Ruozhao. Huan Yixiang in Mi Xiuyuan had implicated more than just Nian Shilan, and Feng Ruozhao had also lost her hope of becoming a mother. So he just gave her a concubine position and let her live out her old age in peace.

By the time the imperial edict was passed down, the queen was almost gritting her teeth.

There were only four positions for concubines, and they were all arranged.

It's fine that Concubine Yu has a sick son, but who are Concubine Li and Concubine Jing? Are they worthy of being the mistress of a palace?

But then, something even more headache-inducing happened to the queen.

Concubine Fang of Suiyuxuan announced that she was pregnant and was already two months pregnant.

The Queen: "This child is so strong that even the mourning period didn't make him die! This Concubine Fang took advantage of her favor and disrespected me when she was in the palace. I can't let her give birth to the child. Jianqiu, you know what to do."

Jian Qiu: "Don't worry, Madam, I will do it right away!"

In Chuxiu Palace.

Lu Yingfeng was not surprised at all when she heard the news that Concubine Fang was pregnant.

Because this baby was her work.

This pregnancy was naturally not real. It was the result of the fake pregnancy pill that Lu Yingfeng had given her. Yinzhen's contraceptive pill would not expire for nearly 14 years. It would be a miracle if she was really pregnant now.

Lu Yingfeng has three goals.

First, if she was the only one who had been pregnant, it would be very strange if no one else had been pregnant, and it would be easy to suspect her.

Secondly, it can lead the queen, the stinky rat, out of the hole, reveal her true colors, and refresh Yinzhen's impression of her again.

The last point is to let the brave and reckless Concubine Fang face the Queen head-on.

Moreover, Lu Yingfeng was thinking that once Concubine Fang had caused a miscarriage and there was solid evidence, Yinzhen would make her the head of the palace in order to compensate her.

Now Shuiyuxuan already has a head aunt, but she is not Cui Jinxi.

Lu Yingfeng was curious, if Zhen Huan still entered the Sui Yuxuan, would Cui Jinxi still come over.

Lu Yingfeng never thought of stopping Zhen Huan from entering the palace, because Zhen Huan was not on the original owner's wish list. She could control Yinzhen's offspring, and as long as Zhen Huan couldn't give birth to a prince, Lu Yingfeng wouldn't care no matter how much she favored her, because she didn't love Yinzhen anyway.

Moreover, with such a target of Chun Yuan's figurine, once the Queen and Concubine Hua make a move on her, Yinzhen will not let it go as easily as he does with others.

It's not that Lu Yingfeng has always stopped others from having children. When the Queen and Concubine Hua are gone and she takes over, they can have as many children as they want (not really). Then it will be easy for Yinzhen to compare with her and praise her virtue.

So, under the Queen's careful planning, and with Lu Yingfeng's instigation, Concubine Fang had a miscarriage.

This time, her miscarriage still involved Concubine Hua.

When the concubines learned that Concubine Fang had miscarried and fainted, they all rushed to Suiyuxuan.

After the Queen learned that Concubine Fang had a miscarriage, she immediately sent someone to call her confidant Zhang Mi, hoping that he would follow her plan and tell the truth that Concubine Fang had a miscarriage because she was punished by Concubine Hua to perform the rituals for too long.

Unfortunately, Lu Yingfeng intervened. This time, her trusted imperial physicians were still Zeng Youming and Kang Ning, and there was also Yang Quanyou, who was promoted from court physician to imperial physician. In addition to Yang Quanyou, who had taken the loyalty pill early on, Zeng Youming and Kang Ning also took her loyalty pill.

Lu Yingfeng sent someone to call the two of them, plus Hua Fei's confidants Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen, a total of six imperial doctors came together, leaving Zhang Mi no choice but to lie with his eyes open.

Although the fake pregnancy pill could remove traces of musk in Concubine Fang's body, Lu Yingfeng bought a buggy pulse regulator from the system mall. After using it on Concubine Fang, she still had a pulse that was caused by a large amount of musk, which led to miscarriage.

So Zhang Mi looked at the queen with a guilty conscience, and then told Yinzhen truthfully: "Noble Lady Fang has a lot of musk in her body, so she had a miscarriage, it has nothing to do with Concubine Hua."

Hua Fei immediately jumped up and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't give her any musk. If I had, I wouldn't have dared to punish her. Otherwise, if she had a miscarriage like this in my hands, wouldn't I have shot myself in the foot?"

Yinzhen signaled Hua Fei to calm down. He naturally saw that it had nothing to do with her, so he didn't want to waste any more words. He said to Zhang Mi and others, "You guys check Sui Yuxuan carefully. I want to know where this musk came from."

The six people started to get busy.

When the queen saw the six doctors coming together, she pretended to be calm and stood aside. She knew that if she didn't do anything, it would be too late, so she said to Yinzhen: "Your Majesty, I am here to watch over you. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and is busy with government affairs. It is better for you to return to the Yangxin Palace."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen did not feel that the queen was concerned about him. Instead, he looked at her with suspicion.

The other concubines also thought the queen's behavior was suspicious.

Concubine Hua raised her chin and snorted, "Why is the Queen so anxious to let the Emperor go? Are you feeling guilty?"

The Queen pulled a long face and said, "Hua Fei, you are so outrageous!"

Concubine Hua was not afraid at all and responded, "Your Majesty is here, I dare not be presumptuous. I just feel sorry for Concubine Fang and the child of the emperor, and I want to find out the truth. Doesn't the Queen want to know who is so mean to harm Concubine Fang's child?"

Without waiting for the Queen to speak again.

Jiang Cheng picked up the incense burner on the Luohan table and said, "Your Majesty, I found traces of burned musk in the incense burner."

Yang Quanyou pointed at the screen and said, "Your Majesty, the silk thread of this screen has been soaked in musk in advance."

Zeng Youming also came in with a jar, "Your Majesty, I dug out a jar of musk kernels from under the crabapple tree. Judging from the freshness of the musk kernels, they must have been buried less than a month ago."

Yinzhen immediately thought of the time when Lu Yingfeng was pregnant for the first time, when someone used the same trick to harm his Hongyang.

When he suspected the Queen, it was the Queen Mother who told him that it was the Eighth Prince who did it. He really believed her at the time, but now the Eighth Prince is staying obediently in the Clan House, and Yinzhen doesn't believe that he can reach out to the harem again.

So in fact, he had been deceived by the Queen Mother at the beginning, and the reason for deceiving him was not difficult to guess, it was simply because the Queen was her cousin.

Yinzhen really found it ridiculous that his offspring was not as important as a cousin who lived thousands of miles away.

After Jiang Shen checked the pulse of Concubine Fang who was in a coma, he said to Yinzhen, "Your Majesty, the musk in Concubine Fang's pulse should have been discovered at least half a month ago. I wonder who checked Concubine Fang's pulse and didn't find it for so long. And because Concubine Fang has too much musk in her body, I'm afraid that Concubine Fang won't be able to get pregnant again within three years."

Yinzhen glanced at Zhang Mi, and just one glance made him break out in a cold sweat.

There is no other reason. This baby was taken care of personally by the judge Zhang Mi.

He is the judge of the court, so his medical skills are naturally superb. It is impossible for him not to find traces of musk, unless he deliberately concealed it.

Perhaps because she didn't rely too much on Cao Qinmo, her think tank in her previous life, Concubine Hua's brain has been developed a little. Today, she is really firing on all cylinders. Glancing at the increasingly embarrassed Queen, she said pointedly, "Your Majesty, I think Zhang Mi has no grudge against Concubine Fang. He must have been instructed by someone to allow Concubine Fang to have a miscarriage after taking the musk. But Zhang Mi is an old man who served the Emperor and the Queen when they were in the Qiandi Residence. Even a concubine like me can't bother Zhang Mi to take care of her health. There are probably not many people who can order him around."

Everyone fixed their eyes on the queen.

Although she knew it might be useless, the queen still knelt on the ground and cried out for justice: "Your Majesty, I am innocent! All the heirs in this palace have to call me the Empress Dowager, so why did I attack Concubine Fang? Someone must have bribed Zhang Mi to harm me. Please help me, Your Majesty!"

Yinzhen always thought that Zhang Mi was his, after all, Zhang Mi had been with him for more than 20 years. In the palace, apart from him, he was the only one responsible for the health of the then wife, now the queen.

The only person who could bribe him was the Queen.

Yinzhen could not tolerate the fact that the imperial physician who was taking care of him secretly recognized someone else as his master. To him, this was like putting a knife to his neck, and his life was in danger at any time.

No matter how the queen argues, Yinzhen is not a fool.

If he can't figure out who is the mastermind behind this, then he has no business being the emperor.

It was just that he had just ascended the throne, and the throne was not stable yet. No matter how bad the queen was, she would rise and fall with him at this moment. At least in the few years when he sat firmly on the throne, he would not depose the queen.

Yinzhen glanced at the expressions of everyone and knew that they were all waiting for his decision.

"Noble Fang is beautiful and graceful, and she comforts my heart. She is promoted to concubine, and the canonization ceremony will be held in one month. You should stop living in Suiyuxuan and move to Zhongcui Palace. Zhang Mi's medical skills are not good, and he has harmed the heir to the throne. He is sentenced to death, and his family is exiled to Ningguta, and they can never return to the capital."

"Your Majesty, spare my life! I only obey the Queen—"

Before Zhang Mi could finish his words, Yinzhen interrupted him.

"Shut up! Su Peisheng, why don't you cover his mouth and pull him away!"

"Uuuuuu—"

Everyone heard clearly what he had not finished saying, and everyone knew who had murdered the royal heir.

This is not over yet.

Yinzhen continued, "The queen's old illness has relapsed, and she needs to rest in Jingren Palace. During her rest period, no one is allowed to disturb her. The palace power will be jointly managed by Concubine Hua, Concubine Jin, and Concubine Jing."

Yinzhen looked at Concubine Hua and said, "Concubine Hua, you have been the housekeeper since you were in the palace, and you have a lot of experience. You will have 60% of the power in the palace, and the remaining 40% will be given to Concubine Jin and Concubine Jing, with 20% each. You decide on the distribution, I trust you."

Since Concubine Hua got the lion's share of the palace power and was trusted by her lover, she naturally agreed happily.

Unlike Jingpin who was happy, Lu Yingfeng knew that Yinzhen was actually afraid of her, so he gave her some power in the palace.

Isn't it because she has many sons and he's afraid that she will use her power in the palace to cause trouble?

Oh, she has smart voice monitoring and loyalty pills, and the palace power is completely dispensable to her. Yinzhen is really suspicious!

"From now on, you will go to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager on the first and fifteenth days of every month." Yinzhen also instructed everyone on how to pay their respects.

"Yes." All the concubines responded in unison.

"What happened today was all caused by Zhang Mi. Do you understand?" Yinzhen glanced at everyone with a cold face. He didn't want to even look at the queen except her.

Everyone responded in agreement, and Yinzhen then strode out of Suiyuxuan.

As soon as Yinzhen left, the queen's body went limp and she fell to the ground.

Concubine Hua took the opportunity to mock, "Some people have been pretending to be charitable for more than 20 years, but I don't know how it feels to have their face torn off today." Then she snorted coldly and left arrogantly with her lackey Concubine Li.

The Queen said nothing as she let Jianqiu help her get up. She gave them a cold look as she passed by, as if warning them that she was still the master of the harem. Unfortunately, she was not as confident as Concubine Hua, and she walked without any momentum.

The others looked at each other and left one after another, only Lu Yingfeng stayed.

She said to Fangpin's maid, "Xiuqin, when your queen wakes up, you must explain to her what happened today. Tell her that the emperor has made arrangements and the matter is over. Don't pursue it anymore, otherwise it will make the emperor unhappy. If you can't persuade her, let her think about her family and not make a big mistake because of a momentary resentment."

Lu Yingfeng didn't want Fangpin to make a good move. Like in the original plot, she went crazy and grabbed Hua Fei after the miscarriage and was banished to the cold palace. Therefore, he tried to persuade her if he could.

Xiuqin knew her majesty's unyielding nature, and thought that Lu Yingfeng was truly concerned about her master. With red eyes and a touched look on her face, she said, "I would like to thank Concubine Jin on behalf of my majesty."

After officially moving into the palace, Lu Yingfeng placed a surveillance camera at the entrance of Chuxiu Palace, Yangxin Hall, Shoukang Palace, Jingren Palace, Yiku Palace, A'gesuo, and Shangshufang.

So when she watched the surveillance playback of Shoukang Palace, she knew it. It was thanks to Concubine Hua who sent Concubine Fang to Suiyuxuan at once. Because of the distance, when the Empress Dowager learned in Shoukang Palace that the Empress was in trouble in Suiyuxuan, Yinzhen had already dealt with everything and returned to the Yangxin Palace.

The Queen Mother had no time to rescue the people. She just wanted to wait until Yinzhen calmed down so that she could help the Queen to make amends. Little did she know that Yinzhen had already resented her.

The surveillance footage in the Hall of Mental Cultivation showed that as soon as Yinzhen returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he issued an order to exile the Queen's younger brother Narbu to serve as the prefect of Qiongzhou Prefecture.

Narbu was originally a Beijing official of the fourth rank, but now he was suddenly sent to the southernmost part of the Qing Dynasty and his official position was demoted half a level to the fourth rank. I wonder how uncomfortable he must have felt.

Yi Xin happily watched the excitement in Chuxiu Palace.

After everyone went back, they reviewed what happened today, and they all confirmed that the queen was the one with the vicious intentions.

Although Concubine Qi is not smart, she trusts Yinzhen more than the Queen. Moreover, Zhang Mi is an old man in the palace, and Concubine Qi feels that no one except the Queen can bribe Zhang Mi. Zhang Mi himself admits that it was the Queen who asked him to do this, so Concubine Qi believes that the Queen is not a good person either.

However, Concubine Qi only thought about it for a while and stopped thinking about it. Instead, she started to worry about her son's study problems.

As for those who did not have children, they all began to worry that with the Queen's mysterious methods, they might have fallen into her trap as well.

So apart from the stupid Concubine Qi, and Concubine Duan who had been hiding in Yanqing Palace and didn't show up today.

Everyone else invited a royal physician.

The people Hua Fei and Li Fei naturally invited were their confidants Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen. However, although Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen were their confidants, they obeyed Yinzhen more, so they would not tell them that they had musk in their bodies.

Jingpin also invited the imperial physician.

Perhaps it was because Zeng Youming discovered the musk kernels under the crabapple tree today, she felt that Zeng Youming's medical skills were very advanced.

So he called Zeng Youming over.

In fact, Jingpin's physical condition had to be kept secret from everyone in the Imperial Hospital, otherwise Yinzhen was worried that Huafei would think too much.

But Zeng Youming was the only one who was loyal to her. He had received instructions from Lu Yingfeng and knew how to tell her, so he said ambiguously: "Your Majesty's body contains a lot of musk. It should have been exposed to it for several years. Fortunately, she has not been exposed to musk in recent times. It just takes three or four years of recuperation before you can get pregnant."

Naturally, Jingpin responded with a look of resentment, and asked Zeng Youming to check whether there was any musk in her palace.

Zeng Youming checked for a long time and shook his head at Jingpin, "Your Majesty's palace is very clean. I guess that person may think that you can't get pregnant after being poisoned by such a serious musk, so she didn't bother to bury anything. But she didn't expect that although the department next to me is not very good, she is quite knowledgeable about obstetrics and gynecology."

From Zeng Youming's intentional or unintentional revelations, Jingpin knew that Zeng Youming had saved the four young princes of the previous emperor, so she trusted him very much and wanted Zeng Youming to be the imperial physician to take care of her health.

Jingpin is a dispensable person to Lu Yingfeng. Her action this time is just to use Jingpin to push Zeng Youming to the front. Zeng Youming's move will be of great use in the future.

Zeng Youming immediately expressed his sympathy to Concubine Jing, saying that he hoped she would not reveal his knowledge of her physical condition to others, lest he end up like Zhang Mi.

Jingpin was not a bad person, so she naturally agreed. Moreover, she also wanted to subdue Zeng Youming and use him for her own benefit, so of course she would not put him in danger.

Anyway, she didn't intend to tell Yinzhen. Fangpin had learned from her previous experience. The empress had not received any punishment except house arrest, so she was still the empress.

Then why should she report the matter to Yinzhen? Besides, there was no evidence and it would be bad to cause trouble for him for no reason.

It would be better for you to take good care of your body first, and then surprise everyone by successfully getting pregnant in three or four years.

When Fangpin woke up the next day and learned from Xiuqin what happened yesterday, she was so angry that she wanted to rush to Jingren Palace and tear the queen's face. Xiuqin held her and stopped her.

Use what Lu Yingfeng said yesterday to remind Concubine Fang.

You are not alone, you have a family. You must not bring trouble to your family because of a momentary anger!

Although Concubine Fang was impulsive, she was still afraid of implicating her family, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

This time it was a blessing in disguise. He was promoted to the position of the master of a palace and moved from the small shabby place of Suiyuxuan to Zhongcui Palace.

Because Concubine Fang had figured it out herself, she did not come to Chuxiu Palace to find Lu Yingfeng.

Although Lu Yingfeng was a little disappointed, he did not immediately bring people over.

But she felt generally optimistic, because she knew that once the Queen's confinement was lifted, Concubine Fang would definitely hold on to her, especially when the Queen's greetings resumed.

The queen's face will definitely be very ugly by then.

Lu Yingfeng was looking forward to seeing that scene, or rather scenes.

In June of the first year of Yongzheng's reign, the Empress Dowager felt that the Empress had been imprisoned for half a year, which was too long, so she visited the Yangxin Palace and persuaded Yinzhen to select concubines to enrich the harem.

So that the Queen can host the talent show and come out with a legitimate reason.

Unfortunately, Yinzhen directly handed over all matters concerning the selection to Concubine Hua and refused to allow the Queen to come out, so the Queen Mother's plan came to nothing.

Because the queen had been under house arrest, three months later, the list of concubines from the Yikun Palace was released.

Fu Cha Yi Xin, a member of the Manchu military flag, was conferred the title of noble lady and lived in the main hall of the Yanx Palace.

Borjigit of the Mongolian military flag was conferred the title of noble lady and lived in the main hall of Jingyang Palace.

Shen Meizhuang, a bannerman of the Han army, was conferred the title of noble lady and lived in the eastern side hall of Xianfu Palace.

The Han army flag Zhen Huan was appointed as a concubine, given the name Wan, and lived in the east side hall of Suiyuxuan.

Fang Jiachun, the general of the Manchu army, was appointed as a concubine and lived in the west side hall of Suiyuxuan.

Xia Dongchun, the general of the Han army flag, lived in the east side hall of the Yanxi Palace.

An Lingrong, a general of the Han army, was granted the title of concubine and lived in the rear hall of the Yanx Palace.

Originally, Concubine Hua wanted to send someone to Chuxiu Palace, but Yinzhen rejected her idea on the grounds that there were too many children in Chuxiu Palace. This reason deeply hurt Concubine Hua's heart.

The day before the new ladies entered the palace, the queen was finally released from house arrest, but she no longer had any power in the palace.

September 15th: The Lady of the Han Army Banner Enters the Palace

According to custom, the empress would give rewards to new people entering the palace. When Concubine Hua was in the palace, she coveted the position of Fu Jin, because she felt that Fu Jin was promoted from a concubine, and she could do the same.

Now that she has entered the palace, and the queen has lost all her dignity and face, she naturally covets the position of queen again.

So if the queen gave it, she would also give it.

Moreover, it was one point more valuable than the Queen's reward, just to suppress her.

As an outsider, Lu Yingfeng felt that compared with the two of them, Concubine Hua won. At least she took care of An Lingrong, the little concubine, but the Queen didn't reward her at all.

After Lv Yingfeng moved into Chuxiu Palace, she began to deal with the nails in Chuxiu Palace while installing nails in other palaces. Now, under her care, Chuxiu Palace can be said to be as solid as an iron barrel, because she generously used the Loyalty Pill.

Among the thorns in other palaces, only the people in Jingren Palace, Yiku Palace and Suiyuxuan used the Loyalty Pill, while those in other palaces were dealt with with money.

After all, points don't come easily, so it's better to save as much as possible.

Therefore, she knew that Cui Jinxi had entered Suiyuxuan this time.

Because after Concubine Fang moved to Zhongcui Palace, she took the head maid with her.

The loss of the head maid in Suiyuxuan gave Cui Jinxi the opportunity to get close to Chunyuan's figurine.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the audience with the emperor.

On this day, Lu Yingfeng specifically asked Tinglan and Milan to dress her up gorgeously and elegantly. As a new bride was entering the palace, she couldn't let them look down on her.

All the people in the palace followed Lu Yingfeng into the palace.

Now Tinglan has become the head aunt of Chuxiu Palace, Milan and Xilan are first-class palace maids, and Xiang Jinhai is the chief eunuch.

When the palace was closed for audience, Lü Yingfeng specially took the sedan chair that was only available to concubines and above, and went to Jingren Palace accompanied by Tinglan and Xiang Jinhai on her left and right.

When she arrived at Jingren Palace, all the concubines except Concubine Hua had already arrived, but the Queen had not yet come out.

Among concubines of different ranks, the one who was conferred the title first is more respected.

Hua Fei was the first to be conferred the title of concubine, so she sat first on the left hand side of the queen. Lu Yingfeng was the second, so she sat first on the right hand side.

Concubine Duan ranked third. If she could, she would sit below Concubine Hua. I don't know what Yinzhen was thinking. Letting Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan sit next to each other, isn't that just causing trouble?

However, the fact that Concubine Duan ranked third shows how unfavored Concubine Qi was. Even though she had a son, she was still ranked last among concubines.

When Lu Yingfeng came in, almost all the concubines had to bow to her. She was not as arrogant as Concubine Hua. She just raised her hand to let everyone stand up and sat down in their seats.

"Sister Concubine Jin, take a look at these new sisters. They are all very young and tender." Concubine Qi whispered in Lu Yingfeng's ear. Although her voice was small, it was particularly obvious in the quiet flower hall.

When she was in the palace, Concubine Qi was jealous of Lu Yingfeng's favor. Later, she was put in solitary confinement by Yinzhen because she plotted to make Lu Yingfeng pregnant. The two of them didn't get along well at first, and they disliked each other even more afterwards, so Concubine Qi didn't care when talking to her. This was telling her that a new person had come and she had to share her favor.

Lu Yingfeng laughed, and her fox eyes looked even more charming and attractive. The old people were already used to seeing her. The new people thought that this Concubine Jin was indeed as beautiful and dazzling as the legend said.

"My sisters are indeed young. I heard that there is a Concubine Chun in the Manchu army flag who is the same age as Prince Hongshi, both are fourteen years old. So, in two or three years, Sister Qifei will be able to be her mama."

"Yes, my Hongshi is already fourteen... Are you saying I'm old?!" Concubine Qi reacted and glared at her.

"Ah!" Lu Yingfeng looked surprised, "You actually heard it?" Then he looked at her with a teachable look, which made both the old and the new people laugh.

Just when Concubine Qi was sulking about the handkerchief, Jiang Fuhai shouted, "The Queen has arrived!"

Everyone stood up and saluted the queen.

The queen smiled kindly: "Sisters, please sit down."

Then he greeted the newlyweds: "Sisters, you came so early today. Are you used to life in the palace?"

The newlyweds followed the same words taught by Aunt Jiaoyin and answered in unison: "Thanks to the Queen's concern, everything is fine."

Before the Queen could continue, Concubine Hua said, "Isn't it too late for me to come?"

The subsequent plot was the same as in the TV series. Concubine Hua used jadeite to say that the Queen was old, and the Queen used Dongzhu to satirize Concubine Hua as a concubine, which made Concubine Hua very unhappy. When she went out, Xia Dongchun bumped into the gun.

Originally, Lu Yingfeng was still hesitating whether to save Xia Dongchun, but later he thought forget it, thinking less trouble is better.

Such a fool, I have to take the trouble to protect her if I have her by my side.

Besides, she is not fighting alone now.

Concubine Fang came to Chuxiu Palace quietly before the selection.

Concubine Fang is now experienced and much smarter than when she was in the palace.

She thought carefully about the current situation.

First of all, there is the issue of the emperor's age. He was born in the 45th year of Kangxi's reign and is now 69 years old. The longest-lived emperor of the Qing Dynasty was the late emperor. Even if the emperor could live to 24 like the late emperor, that would only be years.

But there are only six princes now.

The third prince is stupid, the fourth prince was raised in the Old Summer Palace by a humble mother, and the fifth prince is sickly and doesn't like to study. It is almost impossible for these three to reach that position.

On the other hand, Concubine Jin's Sixth Prince was smart since he was a child. He was taken to the front yard by the Emperor to find a teacher for enlightenment when he was less than three years old. Now he is six years old and has officially gone to the Shangshufang to study at the beginning of the first year. It is said that his learning progress is almost surpassing that of the Third Prince, who is eight years older than him. And the Sixth Prince has another advantage, that is, his mother has a good family background.

After the emperor ascended the throne, the former Minister of Works retired and recommended Concubine Jin's father, Lu Xian, as the new Minister of Works. The emperor agreed, so now Concubine Jin is the daughter of a first-rank official.

Qi Fei's father was dismissed from office for corruption during the reign of the previous emperor, so to put it bluntly, Qi Fei is now the daughter of a criminal.

Yupin's father Geng Dejin was a fifth-rank internal supervisor with no great prospects, and he had remained in this position for more than ten years.

He is not as good as Concubine Jin's elder brother Lu Zhengyuan, who is now a fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Revenue. Although they are both fifth-rank, Lu Zhengyuan has a bright future.

Even if new concubines gave birth to children later, they would be more than seven years older than the Sixth Prince. By the time the later princes grew up, the Sixth Prince would have already entered the court.

Besides, the emperor was diligent in government affairs when he was still a prince, and he became even busier after becoming the emperor. She felt that with the emperor's fighting spirit, he might not live longer than the late emperor.

So Concubine Fang temporarily placed her hopes on Lu Yingfeng and the Sixth Prince.

Anyway, the imperial physician said that she would not be able to get pregnant for at least three years. Even if she got pregnant after three years, it would be unknown whether it was a boy or a girl. It would be better for her to rely on Lu Yingfeng for the time being. If she really gave birth to a little prince one day, then she would talk about it later.

However, although the two formed an alliance, it was not so obvious. Unlike the former Queen and Concubine Qi, and now Concubine Hua and Concubine Li, they wanted to have secret talks every day, and it was obvious that they were in the same party.

The two of them were just interacting normally, without deliberately avoiding each other, and they didn't meet often. They just treated each other like ordinary concubines. Lu Yingfeng treated her no differently than a neutral and nice person like Jingpin, and no one could tell that the two of them were "secretly having an affair."

Yes, even though she knew that the queen was not a good person, Concubine Qi still turned to the queen.

Lu Yingfeng didn't need to think too much to know that the Queen must have set up a pact for Concubine Qi to let Hongshi succeed to the throne.

A check of the surveillance footage showed that this was indeed the case.

Given the Queen's current position in Yinzhen's heart, anyone with a brain would not believe what the Queen says.

But Concubine Qi believed it and thought that the Queen must have the ability to do it, so she now follows the Queen's lead.

Lu Yingfeng just let it go and didn't intend to do anything about it.

One of them is unhappy and the other is brainless. They can't accomplish anything great and will instead make Yinzhen unhappy. Why should she stop them?

This time, because the Queen was under house arrest, there was no need to give Concubine Hua a beautiful palace maid to arouse dislike, and there was no incident of taking advantage of Concubine Hua.

The musk kernels were also dug out in advance by Zeng Youming.

But because of Xia Dongchun's beating, Zhen Huan still pretended to be sick to avoid favor as shown in the drama.

Fang Chunyi also moved from Suiyuxuan to Yanxi Palace.

It seems that some things cannot escape the shackles of the plot.

Lu Yingfeng quietly placed a surveillance camera in Suiyuxuan. This was her eighth surveillance camera. If she wanted more, she would have to continue spending points to buy them, or withdraw the surveillance cameras from other places.

However, the palace does not need so many surveillance cameras for the time being. After the Queen, the Queen Mother, and Concubine Hua are gone, it will be even easier to use them, so there should be no need to buy another set of surveillance cameras.

After the new bride had been sleeping with him for more than a month, Yinzhen still chose Shen Meizhuang, who had a good family background and good character, to learn palace affairs. Lu Yingfeng knew that Yinzhen was afraid of her, so she took the initiative to return the palace power on the grounds of being unwell, which surprised Yinzhen and made him feel very satisfied.

At the same time, it may be because she saw that Fangpin had grown a little smarter than before, so she let Fangpin learn with her. Anyway, Fangpin was very courageous. She had been against Hua Fei since she was in the palace. Even though she was one level lower than Hua Fei, she was still not afraid of her.

Lu Yingfeng was happy to see this happen. Fangpin was her person, and if Fangpin had power in the palace, it meant that she had power in the palace.

This is the benefit of not exposing the alliance.

Just like Concubine Li, she was also a concubine, but Yinzhen never considered her.

Hua Fei was very dissatisfied with this, but since it was Yin Zhen's order, she could only agree to it, but she thought of various ways to make things difficult for her. Fangpin dared to push Hua Fei's difficulties away, but Shen Meizhuang did not dare to do so. Therefore, since she got the task of learning palace affairs, Shen Meizhuang has been miserable.

Concubine Fang also asked Lu Yingfeng whether he could win over Shen Meizhuang.

Lu Yingfeng immediately said no and told her two reasons.

First, Shen Meizhuang's heart and eyes are filled with only Zhen Huan, and Zhen Huan is more important to her than the Shen family.

Second, Shen Meizhuang is proud of her good family background and is very arrogant. Sooner or later, she will suffer because of this arrogance.

Fangpin was very confused, "How could Zhen Huan be as important as her family? Is Shen Meizhuang mentally ill?"

Lu Yingfeng laughed and shook his head, thinking that you don't understand what the halo of the heroine is.

But Shen Meizhuang is indeed mentally ill.

She entered the palace with the honor of her family, so she should find a way to gain favor, or wait until she climbs to a high position and live out her retirement like Concubine Jing. At least she will not drag down her family, and her family will also feel respectable when they know that she is the main queen.

But Shen Meizhuang, not only did she fall into the Queen's trap of mung bean soup, she even took the initiative to propose reducing the palace's share by half.

She was the daughter of a wealthy family, she had never had to worry about food and clothing, how could she have thought about how the servants lived. The deduction of the quota had always happened, and she even proposed to reduce it by half.

Even Concubine Hua didn't eat well. Lu Yingfeng didn't dare to think whether the unknown Grand Madams, Grand Chamberlains, and Grand Noble Ladies of the late emperor would starve to death.

These masters were all having a hard time, and the servants were not much better off. Nine out of ten people in the palace resented Shen Meizhuang for this action.

Later, Concubine Hua and Concubine Cao designed her to fake pregnancy to win favor. She easily trusted the imperial physician Liu Bin, who was hired by Concubine Hua, just because he was from the same hometown as her. Then she fell into their trap without taking a wrong step.

It stands to reason that if a concubine faked pregnancy to win favor, she would be sent to the cold palace at best, or even bring trouble to her mother's family at worst. Yinzhen actually knew that Shen Meizhuang had fallen into a trap, but he was just angry at her for being so careless and unintelligent.

Shen Meizhuang felt that even if there was no evidence to prove that she was wronged, Yinzhen should still believe her, but Yinzhen demoted her to a concubine and put her in solitary confinement. So she resented Yinzhen from then on, and even though she was later cleared of her grievances and restored to her position, she still dared to treat Yinzhen coldly.

You have to know that Yinzhen is the emperor!

How could Shen Meizhuang have the guts to turn her back on the emperor? Wasn't she afraid that Yinzhen would demote her and take it out on her family?

But Shen Meizhuang didn't care about anything. When Zhen Huan went to Lingyun Peak, she drugged Princess Wen Yi in order to pass a message to Zhen Huan at Lingyun Peak. This was a serious crime that was enough to send her to the cold palace.

In order to have her own people in the Imperial Observatory, Zhen Huan gave a little hint and Shen Meizhuang drugged the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory, which was another serious crime.

As for her treatment of Yinzhen, she treated him coldly from the second year of Yongzheng's reign to the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign. Finally, she took the initiative to restore his favor in order to register her child with Wen Shichu.

He totally disregarded the lives of his family members and committed the heinous crime of defiling the harem and confusing the royal bloodline, which was punishable by the execution of nine generations of his clan.

Lu Yingfeng didn't know whether Shen Meizhuang was just so stupid or was always trapped under the halo of the heroine.

But no matter which one it was, she couldn't even avoid such a person, so how could she accept him as her own?

In fact, among the newcomers, Lu Yingfeng was only interested in An Lingrong.

But An Lingrong is a sensitive person. If you don't pay attention, she will think too much, and it will be very tiring to get along with her.

In the future, unless there was really no one else available, Lu Yingfeng would not plan to win over An Lingrong.

When Yinzhen favored new people, he also did not forget to comfort the old ones.

Hua Fei was the most favored one, not only because of Nian Gengyao, but also because of Yinzhen's feelings for her.

Although Lu Yingfeng was also favored over the years, after she had children, she paid more attention to the children. She was not as devoted to Yinzhen as Concubine Hua. Naturally, Yinzhen liked Concubine Hua a little more.

However, he also often comes to Lu Yingfeng's place. After all, Lu Yingfeng and he are the most compatible in that aspect, and there is also the affection for the children.

Because the Sixth Prince Hongyang had reached old age, he moved to the Princes' Residence not long after moving into the palace. He could only come here during the day when he had no classes and was usually not there at night.

Now there are only two-year-old Hongming and Hongqing in Chuxiu Palace.

The two little guys knew that the emperor was coming, so they waited outside the main hall early. After seeing Yinzhen, the two little guys ran towards him quickly.

"Huang Ama!"

"Huang Ama!"

Yinzhen is still quite strong now. He squatted down and held the two little princes on his left and right.

Under Lu Yingfeng's intentional or unintentional influence, he had already forgotten the Manchu custom of holding grandchildren but not sons.

"Father, Hongming misses you."

"Hongqing misses Father Huang too. Father Huang, let's go play with building blocks."

When Lu Yingfeng gave birth to Hongyang, he asked a carpenter to make building blocks similar to modern Lego. Hongyang and his two friends loved them so much that they would fall asleep while playing with them.

Lv Yingfeng smiled and bowed to Yinzhen, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Your Majesty, please put them down quickly. They are both very fat now. Don't tire your arms."

Before Yinzhen could say anything, the two little guys both said in defense: "We are not fat, we are not fat!"

Yinzhen looked at their double chins and small bellies and felt that all the tiredness from a busy day had disappeared. He couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hongming and Hongqing are right. You are not fat. You need to eat more to grow stronger and become the Baturu of our Qing Dynasty in the future."

With the support of their royal father, Lu Yingfeng stopped saying anything to them. The family of four did not follow any rules and sat on the carpet as usual, playing with building blocks together, talking and laughing, having a great time.

Only after the two little guys yawned did Lu Yingfeng ask the maids to take them down.

Then she helped Yinzhen up and massaged his shoulders and neck attentively, "Your Majesty has been tired all day and played with them for so long, you must be exhausted."

Yinzhen closed his eyes and enjoyed Lu Yingfeng's massage, "I guess Feng'er is usually very tired, the two of them are too lively."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you don't know that when Hongyang went to the prince's residence, I was reluctant to let him go. Now I wish these two little ones would grow up quickly and move to the prince's residence as soon as possible so that I can have some peace and quiet."

"You, when they go to the prince's residence, you will definitely feel it is too lonely again."

The two of them chatted about their children and family matters like an old couple. After washing up, they made love and fell asleep in each other's arms.

Time is as quiet as flowing water.

Before we knew it, it was New Year's Eve.

At Lu Yingfeng's reminder, Concubine Hua did not place red plum blossoms at the banquet.

But something went wrong with the Queen. The Queen knew that she had lost the Queen's favor, so Yinzhen had not stayed overnight in Jingren Palace for nearly a year. He even refused to go there on the first and fifteenth days set by the ancestors.

She wanted to use Chunyuan to remind Yinzhen that Chunyuan had entrusted herself to him before her death, and hoped that he would treat her only sister well.

So the Nanfu dancers rehearsed a Red Plum Dance. It was not a direct reminder like the Jinghong Dance, but it used Chunyuan's favorite red plum to hint at it.

Sure enough, the dance was over.

Yinzhen asked the queen: "Have the plum blossoms in the palace bloomed yet?"

Queen: "It blooms in the frost."

Yinzhen: "I want to go and see."

The Queen originally wanted to use Chun Yuan as an excuse after the banquet to have a good talk with Yin Zhen and lead him to Jingren Palace.

Unexpectedly, Yinzhen actually said he wanted to go out. The queen tried to dissuade him a few times, saying it was freezing cold outside, but Yinzhen insisted on going out and did not allow anyone to follow him, saying he wanted to take a walk alone.

Yinzhen had already left, so the empress could not leave. It would not be good for both masters to leave in front of the clan members at the palace banquet, so the empress had to stay. However, she was still worried about Yinzhen's comfort, so she asked the Seventeenth Master, Prince Guo, to follow quietly from behind.

What happened next was the first meeting between Zhen Huan, Yinzhen and Prince Guo in Yimeyuan. Yu Ying'er was standing in the corner and saw the whole thing.

Speaking of Yu Ying'er, she actually had a personal grudge against the original owner. In the play, Yu Ying'er was on her way to the emperor's bedchamber when the original owner's lantern accidentally caught fire, startling the horse of Fengluan Chun'en's carriage and shaking Yu Ying'er. Yu Ying'er then cursed at the original owner, and during the argument between the two, Yu Ying'er actually had someone lock her up in the Shenxing Division.

Lu Yingfeng felt that if she had not died early, she would have been on the original owner's wish list.

The next day, when Lu Yingfeng learned that Yinzhen had appointed a new official girl, she didn't want to spoil her at all, so she asked someone to spread the news.

"The Yuguan girl used Meiyuan as an impersonator to steal the favor of a new lady."

It happened to be broad daylight, and Yinzhen had not yet favored Yu Ying'er. Upon hearing the news, he immediately sent Su Peisheng to investigate.

There were only a few ladies in the palace, and only one did not attend the palace banquet last night, so Su Peisheng quickly identified this person.

Zhen Huan was out of favor, so the news in Sui Yuxuan was kept secret and no one had heard the news yet.

Su Peisheng did not go to see Zhen Huan directly, but asked someone to call Cui Jinxi out to inquire about Zhen Huan's whereabouts last night.

Cui Jinxi and Su Peisheng were from the same hometown, and they trusted him very much, so they did not hide anything from him. "Last night, the young lady cut paper-cuts with us, and Xiao Yunzi cut a small portrait based on the young lady's face. I just remembered a custom in the palace, which said that on New Year's Eve, you can hang your beloved things on tree branches to pray for blessings. However, there are only dead branches in Suiyuxuan, and the flowers in Yimei Garden are in full bloom. The young lady did not ask us to follow her, and went to Yimei Garden to pray for blessings by herself. But I don't know what wish the young lady made."

After hearing what Cui Jinxi said, Su Peisheng actually believed most of it. Because Yu Ying'er's words were really vulgar, and she didn't seem like someone who could say "If you understand the meaning of the adverse wind, don't destroy it easily."

However, this Concubine Wan was quite knowledgeable about poetry and could use poetry to talk to the Emperor during the palace selection.

Cui Jinxi thought about the dragon pattern on her clothes that Wan Changzai had asked her about yesterday, and she was afraid that she had met someone with this pattern on his clothes. Apart from the emperor, only the brothers he favored could use this pattern.

The person who came to question today was Su Peisheng. I guess the person that Wan Changzai met last night was the emperor.

Such an accidental encounter makes the emperor think of her, so Concubine Wan's chance is probably coming.

In order to avoid finding the wrong person, Su Peisheng takes Zhen Huan to the Yangxin Palace to let the emperor take a look and see who the beauty from last night is.

Zhen Huan was only 18 years old at this time. Although she was conceited and intelligent, she had not seen much of the world. She did not dare to refuse the request of the imperial steward. Moreover, under Cui Jinxi's suggestion, Zhen Huan understood that this trip should not be a bad thing, so she followed Su Peisheng without worry.

On the way, because Cui Jinxi was there, Su Peisheng told Zhen Huan about Yu Ying'er and asked her to be prepared, think of a good excuse, and never lie to the emperor.

In the Yangxin Palace, Yu Ying'er was accompanying the emperor with a nervous mood.

I was afraid that the rumored Chang Wan was really the person from last night.

Unfortunately, the more you fear something, the more likely it will come.

Su Peisheng walked in and said to Yinzhen, "Your Majesty, I have checked it out this time. There were only two women in Yimei Garden yesterday. One was the Yuguan woman who was on duty last night, and the other was Wan Changzai from Suiyuxuan. I asked the head aunt of Suiyuxuan, and she said that Wan Changzai went to Yimei Garden to pray for blessings last night. I don't know what was said during the prayer, so I didn't check with Wan Changzai. I have brought Wan Changzai here, does Your Majesty want to ask in person?"

"Wan Changzai." Upon hearing this title, Yinzhen immediately thought of the face that was 50% similar to Chunyuan, "Ask her to come in."

Yu Ying'er wanted to stop her, "Your Majesty, she—"

Yinzhen gave her a cold look and said, "Shut up."

Yu Ying'er immediately calmed down, but her whole body was shaking violently.

Zhen Huan lowered her eyes as she entered the palace and saluted, "I, the concubine Sui Yuxuan, am here to pay my respects to His Majesty. May His Majesty be blessed with good health."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Look up and look at me."

Zhen Huan obediently looked up and met Yinzhen's gaze. The two looked at each other, one nervous and the other excited.

After a long silence, Yinzhen asked, "Did you go to Yimei Garden to pray last night? What wish did you make? Tell me about it."

Zhen Huan didn't dare to lie, but she also didn't dare to say something discouraging like "I'll end my miserable life", so she said everything else except this.

Yu Ying'er said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, she is imitating me. She must have overheard what I said!"

Zhen Huan glanced at Yu Ying'er with a puzzled look on her face. "What is this sister talking about? I was the only one in Yimei Garden last night." She paused for a moment before hesitatingly saying, "There was also a man."

Then, as if she was afraid of being misunderstood by Yinzhen, she immediately explained, "Your Majesty, I have been abiding by my duty and have not met with any other men. I said that I was a maid in Yimei Garden and my shoes and socks got wet, so I ran back to Suiyuxuan when he wasn't paying attention."

In fact, how could Yinzhen not know that Yu Ying'er was not the person from last night?

Even Su Peisheng could see Yu Ying'er's vulgarity, so how could he not know it?

It's just that Yu Ying'er is pretty, and he couldn't find anyone for the time being, so he just treated Yu Ying'er as a funny person.

Now that the real boss has arrived, Yu Ying'er is no longer needed.

So Yinzhen ordered: "Su Peisheng, pass on my order. The women of the other officials have deceived the emperor and are to be sent to the cold palace!"

Yu Ying'er knelt down hurriedly and cried, "I am innocent! I am innocent! She was the one who deceived the emperor! It was I who met the emperor last night!"

Zhen Huan also knelt down quickly, "I didn't know it was the emperor last night, please forgive me for deceiving you."

Yinzhen came out from the table with a smile and personally helped Zhen Huan up. "You abide by the rules of being a woman, what crime have you committed?"

Then he looked at Yu Ying'er lying on the ground, "Yu, since you say you are innocent, I will give you a chance. If you can recite the poem I recited last night completely, I will forgive you."

Yu Ying'er couldn't read a single word, and felt even more guilty, "My concubine...my concubine...my concubine only knows that one sentence."

Yinzhen was too lazy to pay attention and glanced at Su Peisheng. Su Peisheng immediately asked someone to cover Yu Ying'er's mouth and hold her down.

Thus, Yu Ying'er became the concubine who served as a palace concubine for the shortest time in history.

The lady who had just been appointed as an official in the morning was sent to the cold palace before noon, causing quite a joke in the palace.

After hearing about Yu Ying'er's fate, Lu Yingfeng happily ordered fried chicken and Fat House Happy Water from a takeaway restaurant at noon and was extremely satisfied with the meal.

Since Yinzhen had his eyes on Zhen Huan, he naturally wanted to take her away as soon as possible.

But Zhen Huan was still ill and could not sleep with him for the time being. So Yinzhen brought up the imperial physician and asked who treated Zhen Huan's illness and why it had not improved for more than three months, and he wanted to change the imperial physician to treat her.

Zhen Huan was afraid that her act of pretending to be sick to avoid the emperor's favor would be discovered, so she hurriedly said, "My health has always been taken care of by Imperial Physician Wen. My health is weak, so I cannot take strong medicines. I can only take medicines that have a slow effect. However, Imperial Physician Wen said that my health will be healed in another half a month, so there is no need to bother the new Imperial Physician."

Yinzhen held her hand and smiled gently, "In that case, let Doctor Wen treat you well. I'll be waiting for you."

In the next half month, Yinzhen was thinking about Zhen Huan and did not call anyone. Apart from often going to Sui Yuxuan to have dinner with Zhen Huan, he only occasionally came to Chuxiu Palace to see the twins, or went to Yikun Palace to see Concubine Hua, but he never stayed overnight.

She looked like she was loyal to Zhen Huan, and Lu Yingfeng couldn't bear to watch it.

During this period, when paying respects to the emperor, the queen instigated everyone to go to Suiyuxuan to visit Zhen Huan. In fact, she wanted to use them to force Zhen Huan to surrender to her.

Concubine Hua was about to fall for the trick when Concubine Fang said coldly, "When the Queen said this, people who didn't know would think you were really worried about Concubine Wan's health. But who doesn't know what you are thinking?"

The Queen's face was stiff, and she forced a smile, "I am indeed concerned about Concubine Wan's health, so Concubine Fang doesn't need to speculate."

Fangpin rolled her eyes. "If the Queen wants to cause unrest in the harem, she can just do it herself. There is no need to openly care about us and secretly instigate us to embarrass Wan Changzai." She stood up and said, "I feel sick after hearing what you said. I may vomit and pollute your precious place. I will withdraw now."

As soon as Concubine Fang left, everyone began to ponder over her words, and then looked at the Queen with unclear eyes.

The queen suddenly felt a severe headache and asked everyone to leave.

Because Concubine Hua and others did not make things difficult for Zhen Huan.

Although Zhen Huan and Yinzhen had the fate of meeting in Yime Garden this time, they did not have a deep emotional foundation, so there was no hot spring bathing, no favor in the pepper room, etc. Just like other concubines, she was stripped naked and carried into the Yangxin Palace.

But this favor lasted for seven days.

Seven days later, the Queen Mother invited Yinzhen to Shoukang Palace to give him some advice. When Yinzhen came out, she was not sure if she was angry or not, but she almost immediately issued an order to promote Zhen Huan to a noble lady, retaining her title, and she was called the Noble Lady of Wan.

At night, he went to Sui Yuxuan in person to favor Zhen Huan, and only turned over Shen Meizhuang's card the next day.

Gradually, a situation was formed where Zhen Huan had half of the sleeping time every month, and the other half was shared by everyone else.

Interestingly, this time the Queen still mentioned An Lingrong to Yinzhen, and An Lingrong was finally returned intact.

In the drama, after she returned intact, it was Yu Ying'er who took over her sleep with the emperor, but this time it was Zhen Huan.

Lu Yingfeng knew without thinking that An Lingrong must hate Zhen Huan to death.

Ever since Zhen Huan became favored by the emperor, Lu Yingfeng assigned Xiao Tangzi a task, which was to keep a close eye on Shen Meizhuang.

Now Zhen Huan has become the new favorite concubine. Although Shen Meizhuang's favor is not as good as before, she is still among the top newcomers. The two of them are good friends. Concubine Hua will not want to see them become powerful together, so she must get rid of one of them.

Zhen Huan is now favored by Yinzhen, and Concubine Hua will not touch her for the time being, so she can only take the second place in favor. However, she is targeted by Shen Meizhuang, who is appointed by Yinzhen to learn palace affairs.

Xiao Tangzi followed Shen Meizhuang for more than two months, and finally one night, he saw Shen Meizhuang feeding the fishes alone in Qianli Pond, with Zhou Ninghai pushing her into the water.

Xiao Tangzi remembered Lu Yingfeng's instructions, no matter what happened, don't show up, don't do anything, and immediately go back to Chuxiu Palace to report. So when he saw Shen Meizhuang fall into the water, Xiao Tangzi ran back immediately.

Lu Yingfeng knew that Shen Meizhuang would be rescued. If Xiao Tangzi went down to rescue her, she would be highly suspected.

Xianfu Palace was just opposite Chuxiu Palace. Lu Yingfeng rushed to Xianfu Palace before the imperial physician arrived, then gave Shen Meizhuang a fake pregnancy pill and adjusted her pulse with a pulse regulator.

When the imperial physician finished taking Shen Meizhuang's pulse, he told her, as Lu Yingfeng had planned, that she had been pregnant for nearly a month, but because she fell into the water, the fetus was unstable and there was a tendency for miscarriage, so she needed to stay in bed and rest.

Yinzhen was in Zhen Huan's Suiyuxuan at the time. After they heard that Shen Meiyu had fallen into the water, they rushed to Xianfu Palace and heard the news.

Zhen Huan immediately burst into tears and fell to the side of Shen Meizhuang's bed. She was extremely worried when she saw the unconscious Shen Meizhuang.

Yinzhen was happy that he was going to have another child, but he was also worried that Shen Meizhuang would be affected by Huan Yixiang as she often went to Yiku Palace during this period. In addition, with the fall into the water this time, he didn't know whether the child could be saved.

After asking Caiyue and Xiao Shi who were beside Shen Meizhuang, everyone present had guessed that it was Concubine Hua who did it, especially when Concubine Hua came in gorgeous attire a moment later, as if she had been prepared.

Hua Fei thought she had only made Shen Meizhuang suffer, but when she saw Yinzhen's cold eyes, she felt something was wrong. After knowing that Shen Meizhuang almost had a miscarriage, she looked very guilty.

What was there for Yinzhen not to understand? It was she who caused Shen Meizhuang to fall into the water, but she didn't expect that by accident, she almost killed the baby in her belly.

To kill concubines so blatantly, isn't one summer, winter and spring enough?

Yinzhen suppressed his anger in his heart. Now was the time to use Nian Gengyao, so he could not punish Hua Fei severely.

Therefore, Yinzhen did not even ask questions and directly concluded, "Since you have the power to assist in the management of the six palaces, this incident happened near your Yikun Palace, which is a dereliction of duty. So, you should give up this power and hand it over to Jingpin and Fangpin. The guards of Yikun Palace are unable to rescue, so replace them with another group. Jingpin, you will make the arrangements."

Jingpin: "Yes!"

Hua Fei: "Your Majesty—"

Yinzhen continued, "Noble Lady Shen is virtuous, decent, dignified and generous. She is promoted to concubine and given the title of Hui. After the dragon fetus is stable, she will move to the main hall of Yongshou Palace. Before that, she does not need to pay respects to the empress. After giving birth, she will learn palace affairs with Concubine Jing and Concubine Fang."

Hua Fei: "Your Majesty, I—"

Yinzhen looked at her with a calm gaze, which made Hua Fei feel depressed. "Hua Fei, go back and rest."

After saying this, Yinzhen left and returned to the Yangxin Palace without saying anything else.

It has been a year since Concubine Fang had her miscarriage. The palace cannot wait for the news of pregnancy to come out, and the Queen has to add fuel to the fire.

Lu Yingfeng never thought of blaming this child on Concubine Hua, because apart from drugging Wen Yi, Concubine Hua had never murdered any other royal heirs.

The Queen has to take the blame for the incident with the royal heir.

But we couldn't let Concubine Hua end up in a bad way, so this happened.

When the Queen learned that Concubine Hua was treated coldly by Yinzhen, she had no time to be happy before she found out that Shen Meizhuang was pregnant and was promoted to the position of concubine.

The queen thought, how can this be possible?

Shen Meizhuang was made a concubine as soon as she got pregnant, so wouldn't she be made a concubine when the baby was born? Although the concubine position was full now, she could move up. If a noble concubine or imperial noble concubine was born, how could she keep her position as the queen?

The queen always had various reasons to perform abortions.

As the leader of the abortion team, Jianqiu followed the Queen's orders and secretly bribed someone to tamper with the palace when Concubine Jing and Concubine Fang ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to renovate the Yongshou Palace.

There is a chrysanthemum hall in Xianfu Palace.

As soon as Shen Meizhuang opened her eyes and saw Zhen Huan, she immediately told her everything that happened last night. She was terrified at first, but when she learned that she was pregnant, she immediately immersed herself in the joy of being pregnant.

She knew that she was still alive and the child was not aborted, so Yinzhen could not punish Hua Fei severely. But at least Hua Fei no longer had the power of the palace, and she herself was promoted to the position of the head of a palace, so she did not have any resentment towards Yinzhen.

In May, the heat was unbearable, so Yinzhen ordered all the concubines to go to Yuanmingyuan to escape the heat.

Shen Meizhuang was also three months pregnant (actually two months, it was fake), and the imperial physician diagnosed that the pregnancy was stable and she could go with him. As for Hua Fei, Li Bin had used some tricks, and Nian Gengyao was fighting in the northwest, so Yinzhen let Hua Fei go with him.

In early June, Shen Meizhuang, who had been pregnant with a stable fetus, suddenly had a miscarriage.

It was the Queen who did it.

She originally asked Jianqiu to do something in Yongshou Palace, but Shen Meizhuang's pregnancy was just stable, so she came directly from Xianfu Palace to Yuanmingyuan, and the Queen's plan failed. So the Queen had people replace Shen Meizhuang's meals with foods that were incompatible with her, and not only that, many of the furniture in the house were also coated with musk cream.

The body and facial features of a three-month-old fetus were not fully developed, and no one noticed anything unusual when a blood clot shaped like a fetus was expelled. Besides, everyone thought a miscarried child was unlucky, so the midwife simply wrapped it in a white cloth and took it out to bury it.

When Shen Meizhuang got into trouble, Jingpin immediately called her "trusted imperial physician" Zeng Youming to come and see her. Zeng Youming then confirmed that Shen Meizhuang had recently been poisoned by food incompatibility, and that there was a strong smell of musk in the room.

As for why the imperial physician who had previously diagnosed Shen Meizhuang's pulse failed to discover it.

That was of course because He Wen, the imperial physician who was responsible for Shen Meizhuang's pregnancy, was also the Queen's man.

Originally, the Queen planned to frame Concubine Hua, because it was Concubine Hua who caused Shen Meizhuang to fall into the water and her fetus to become unstable.

Unfortunately, after these tricks were exposed by Zeng Youming, Yinzhen first suspected the queen.

After all, these are the methods she often uses.

Fearing that he had wrongly accused the queen, Yinzhen had Su Peisheng interrogate He Wen in private. Lu Yingfeng did not want to waste points on buying truth pills, so he had someone secretly pass a message to He Wen: "If you want your family to live, you must tell the truth."

He Wen thought, he was threatened by the Queen and this mysterious man at the same time. Anyway, he was going to die, and after he died, the Queen would definitely not let his family go, given her vicious temper. So why not drag the Queen down with her, and let's all die together.

So he told everyone he knew.

After hearing this, Yinzhen confirmed that his guess was correct. He Wen was Zhang Mi's apprentice. As soon as Zhang Mi died, He Wen took over and served the queen.

His good queen had another abortion, and all the pregnant princesses in the palace, including Lu Yingfeng's pregnancy and Yupin's premature birth with the fifth prince, were caused by the queen.

This is why Zhang Mi came to the Queen's attention a little late, and did not know that Chun Yuan's death was also caused by the Queen, otherwise he would have revealed the truth about Chun Yuan's death.

One and a half years after he ascended the throne, the only two pregnant concubines both had miscarriages due to the queen's manipulation.

Yinzhen regretted releasing the queen.

This time, the Empress Dowager was far away in the Forbidden City, and just like last time, she had no time to speak for the Queen.

The queen stayed in the Old Summer Palace to recuperate, and Yinzhen ordered that no one should disturb her.

At the same time, he also ordered a large-scale conscription of the harem.

Lü Yingfeng was Noble Concubine Jin, Concubine Hua was Noble Concubine Hua, Concubine Jing was Concubine Jing, Concubine Hui was Concubine Hui, and Concubine Fang enjoyed the treatment of a concubine.

The rest remain unchanged.

The Queen was recuperating and unable to handle palace affairs, so all palace affairs were handed over to Concubine Jing, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Fang.

After Shen Meizhuang woke up, she touched her empty belly and felt completely hopeless.

She originally suspected that it was Concubine Hua, or concubines with children like Concubine Qi and Lu Yingfeng who did it.

But the result was obvious, the three of them were fine, and even Lü Yingfeng and Hua Fei were promoted. However, the queen had a headache and was recuperating.

Shen Meizhuang had never doubted the Queen before. She always felt that even if the Queen had her own little thoughts, she would never dare to harm the Crown Prince.

Who would have thought that his child would die tragically at the hands of the Queen?

Shen Meizhuang knew her position in Yinzhen's heart and knew that Yinzhen would not depose the queen for her. It was the best outcome for her to be promoted to the position of concubine and hold power in the palace.

However, Shen Meizhuang did not give up on revenge. She decided to take it step by step.

The incident in which July Anbihuai escorted silver and grain from the northwest still happened. However, although Yinzhen was promoted to the position of Hua Fei at that time, he still treated her coldly, so Hua Guifei did not go to the Qinzheng Palace to demand severe punishment.

In the end, An Bihuai was stripped of his official uniform and became a commoner.

In the Forbidden City, An Lingrong resented Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang for not helping her, which made her a commoner. She decided to fight for favor, and it was better to rely on herself than on anyone else.

Baojuan, who was beside her, felt that her future was uncertain after she learned that her master, the queen, was recuperating in the Old Summer Palace. Therefore, she really wanted An Lingrong to be favored as soon as possible so that she, a servant, could also rise with the tide.

The Fourth Prince still tried every means to meet Yinzhen, and he always read by the lake, wanting people to see his diligence and hard work, hoping that the news would reach the ears of his royal father.

Lu Yingfeng then remembered him, this is the future Emperor Qianlong. She wanted her son to be the emperor, so she must make the fourth prince lose the opportunity to inherit the throne. But the fourth prince was the future emperor in the original play, so she couldn't do anything.

So someone brought Concubine Qi to meet the Fourth Prince who was studying hard.

Seeing that the Fourth Prince was smarter and more hardworking than the Third Prince, Concubine Qi wanted to get rid of him so that he would not block the Third Prince's path.

So she wanted to poison the Fourth Prince, but without the Queen and An Lingrong to give her ideas, she couldn't find any poison. She could only resort to brutal means. One day, when there were no servants around the Fourth Prince, she pushed him into the water.

The fourth prince struggled in the water for a long time before anyone heard him. He had been in the water for much longer than Shen Meizhuang, and was eventually diagnosed by the imperial physician as suffering from heart disease and cough. He was not allowed to work hard, and was not allowed to ride horses or shoot arrows.

From then on, the Fourth Prince's future was ruined.

Yinzhen ordered a thorough investigation, and found that Concubine Qi was not secretive, which allowed Yinzhen to find a witness. In the end, Concubine Qi was stripped of her title and demoted to Li Guiren. It just so happened that the position of concubine was vacant.

Lü Yingfeng tactfully mentioned that Fangpin enjoyed the treatment of a concubine, only lacking a title. So Yinzhen ordered Fangpin to be promoted to a concubine and to participate in the canonization ceremony with them.

Wen Yi's birthday party was not held, nor was the Qixi Festival banquet, so both of Zhen Huan's private meetings with Prince Guo were missed by butterflies. Finally, at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the queen was still "recuperating", and only Yinzhen sat at the head.

Lipin suggested that ordinary singing and dancing were boring, so she asked the concubines to write down their specialties and perform by drawing lots.

Given Lv Yingfeng's current status, Concubine Hua and Concubine Li didn't dare to take action against her, so Lv Yingfeng just played a song calmly and left.

Zhen Huan was still manipulated by Concubine Hua and made to dance the Jinghong Dance, and even with the influence of Prince Guo's flute, she danced in a new way.

Although Concubine Hua secretly hated Zhen Huan for being such a good dancer, she still remembered her purpose. She recited a poem "Lou Dong Fu" with tears in her eyes and regained her favor.

But there is still no palace power.

In early October, the weather was getting colder, and Yinzhen ordered everyone to return to the palace.

The queen was still left in the Old Summer Palace to recuperate.

When the Queen Dowager learned that the Queen had not returned, she called Yinzhen over.

After much persuasion, Yinzhen agreed to let the queen return to the palace before New Year's Eve and attend the New Year's Eve palace banquet.

Shen Meizhuang has become smarter since she lost her child.

She did not move to Yongshou Palace immediately, but first asked the imperial physician to help check whether Yongshou Palace was clean.

The person she was looking for was Zeng Youming. After all, it was Zeng Youming who exposed the Queen's tricks when she had a miscarriage.

So under Shen Meizhuang's gaze, Zeng Youming pointed out everything wrong in the hall one by one, and Shen Meizhuang's face almost turned green.

It was a pity that before she could go to complain to Yinzhen, the empress dowager sent Aunt Zhuxi to bring her a reward, asking her to keep quiet in words.

Only then did Shen Meizhuang finally understand that as long as the Queen Mother was alive, the Queen's position would remain stable. From then on, she never went to Shoukang Palace again, and even hoped that this old woman who helped the tyrant would die sooner.

Just at this time an epidemic broke out in the Yikun Palace. Concubine Hua resented that she had fallen out of favor because of Shen Meiyu's fall into the water, and also hated that Zhen Huan was more favored than her, so she had the tea sets used by those infected with the epidemic sent to Yongshou Palace and Suiyuxuan.

There was a smart person named Cui Jinxi at Sui Yuxuan, who intercepted the things immediately because there was nothing wrong with Sui Yuxuan.

At Yongshou Palace, Lu Yingfeng's accomplice also came forward to point out the inappropriateness of the tea set. At first, Shen Meizhuang wanted to get rid of the tea set quickly.

Later, I changed my mind and decided that I could use this tea set to deal with people.

For example, the Queen's backer – the Queen Mother.

In order to avenge her child, Shen Meizhuang disregarded her own safety. She wiped the tea set back and forth several times with a handkerchief, and then went to Shoukang Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother.

So the Queen Mother contracted the epidemic during Shen Meizhuang's daily visits. Shen Meizhuang actually had symptoms a long time ago, but she kept wearing delicate makeup to confuse the Queen Mother and endured it. The next day after the Queen Mother fell ill, she also broke the news that she had contracted the epidemic.

Because she fell ill later than the Empress Dowager, everyone thought that it was the Empress Dowager who infected Shen Meiyu, even the Empress Dowager herself thought so.

The imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau have been studying prescriptions.

In order to regain power in the palace, Concubine Hua asked her two doctors, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen, to quickly research the prescription. However, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen were good at gynecology and pediatrics, so they had no idea how to treat an epidemic.

It was at this time that the imperial physician Wen Shichu developed the first version of the prescription. Wen Shichu never released this prescription because, although it was effective, the effect was so strong that the elderly or the weak might not be able to withstand it.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen were only good at obstetrics and gynecology, and they couldn't tell whether the prescription was good or not, so they just presented it directly to Concubine Hua.

Yinzhen asked the sick slaves to try the medicine. Most of the slaves were doing rough labor and were in good health, so they all survived.

So Yinzhen felt at ease giving this prescription to the Empress Dowager and Shen Meizhuang.

In the end, the Queen Mother did not survive. Because she died of an epidemic, her body could not be kept in the palace, so she was directly carried into the coffin and taken to the imperial mausoleum. Zhu Xi and other confidants of the Queen Mother begged Yinzhen to go to guard the imperial mausoleum together.

Because Lu Yingfeng used the fake pregnancy pill to expel the toxins from Shen Meizhuang, her body became very healthy and she recovered quickly.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen's prescription was still very effective. At least, no one in the entire palace died of the plague except the empress dowager.

Of course it wasn't such a coincidence. Lu Yingfeng teamed up with Zeng Youming, Kang Ning, and Yang Quanyou to steal the truth and used the final version of the prescription developed by Wen Shichu in his previous life on everyone except the Queen Mother.

Yinzhen felt that no matter how great the contributions of Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen were, the Queen Mother ultimately died because of their poison.

Therefore, Yinzhen dismissed them from their posts and expelled them from the capital.

Concubine Hua failed miserably and hid back in Yikun Palace in shame, not daring to make any further moves.

In Chuxiu Palace, Lu Yingfeng almost laughed out loud several times.

Thanks to Nian Shilan and Shen Meizhuang, their magical operation directly disabled the queen's greatest arm. What made Lu Yingfeng even happier was that the queen mother didn't know that she would not survive this time, so she didn't leave any decree.

The Queen is deposed!

Because the Queen Mother passed away, even though the Queen returned to the palace early, she did not hold a New Year's Eve banquet.

The queen's return to the palace meant that she had recovered from her illness, and the concubines had to continue to pay their respects in Jingren Palace.

This greeting was very interesting.

Originally, the only ones who openly disrespected the Queen were Concubine Hua and Concubine Fang, and now there is Concubine Hui.

Although the three of them didn't get along well, they cooperated well when facing the same enemy. One of them mocked the queen for being old and ugly, another cursed the one who harmed the offspring and deserved to die without any descendants, and Hui Fei was more civilized, saying that the queen was a snake in the face of a good man.

Because of harming the Fourth Prince, Concubine Li was demoted. For the sake of her son's future, she clung to the Queen even tighter and continued to fight for her, while Lu Yingfeng just watched the show from the sidelines.

The queen had no power and no favor, and even the lackeys around her were changed from Concubine Qi to Noble Lady Li.

In order to increase her bargaining chips, she activated Baojuan and took An Lingrong under her wing.

Under the Queen's training, An Lingrong won the Queen's favor with her singing voice that was about 70% pure, and was promoted to a concubine. She also asked An Lingrong to be a double agent with Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, and continue to befriend them in order to get information.

In the blink of an eye, it was the winter of the third year of Yongzheng's reign.

Yinzhen mentioned in Jingren Palace that Junggar wanted to marry a legitimate princess, but he had no daughter at all and there was really no one to choose from.

The Queen cooperated with Yinzhen to take up the conversation and suggested that the late emperor's Princess Chaogui was of the right age and was a good candidate.

Lu Yingfeng had known for a long time that the old Khan died less than half a month after Princess Chaogui got married, and Princess Chaogui thus became the concubine of the new Khan.

The new Khan of Junggar was Moge, who was bitten by a poisonous snake at Lingyun Peak in the future.

Lu Yingfeng knew that he could not stop Princess Chaogui from marrying, but he could delay the time, and if handled properly, he should be able to allow Princess Chaogui to return to Beijing in a few years.

So Lu Yingfeng said, "Your Majesty, I thought that Junggar surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, how can we have their say? We can't let the princess marry in ten days just because they want to marry her quickly. We should at least leave them alone for a while. Besides, it's freezing and snowy here. The princess has been spoiled since she was a child, so how can she bear to travel in such weather? If she catches a cold on the way, it will be bad if something happens."

Yinzhen nodded in agreement, "Noble Concubine Jin is right. Then let's set the princess' wedding date in March next year so that she can have a good year in the palace."

More than half a month later, news came from Junggar that the old Khan had passed away.

Not only did Princess Chaogui and her biological mother, Concubine Zhang, come to Chuxiu Palace to thank Lu Yingfeng, but even Yinzhen felt a lingering fear.

Almost, almost, their noble princess of the Qing Dynasty was about to become someone's concubine.

The third year of Yongzheng's reign was destined to be an uneasy year.

At the end of the year, Prince Dun submitted a memorial saying that he wanted to posthumously confer a title on his biological mother, Concubine Wenxi. However, Concubine Wenxi had done something wrong and the late emperor had ordered that she should not be buried in the concubine's tomb. If Yinzhen conferred a title on her, how would the late emperor save his face?

Because Zhen Huan was favored, she still participated in the government affairs. She suggested to Yinzhen that he should confer titles on the concubines who had children with the previous emperor. Yinzhen actually did it, which made the queen even more wary. She felt that Zhen Huan was more like her sister and could even discuss state affairs with the emperor. She wished to get rid of her as soon as possible.

In the spring of the fourth year of Yongzheng's reign, Lu Yingfeng felt that it had been too long since Shen Meizhuang's miscarriage, and that there should be some good news from the palace.

So he sent out two more fake pregnancy pills, and then the news came out that Concubine Wan of Suiyuxuan was pregnant. Yinzhen was immediately overjoyed and promoted her to Concubine Wan.

Half a month later, Noble Lady Fucha of Yanxi Palace also had good news. However, because Yinzhen didn't like her that much, it was not easy to distinguish her too clearly.

So he asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come up with a title for Noble Lady Fucha.

From then on, Noble Lady Fucha became Noble Lady Shun.

Noble Lady Fucha was very angry in the palace because she was not promoted to a concubine.

In March, Princess Chaogui got married.

Not long after, Zhen Huan and Concubine Shun were hit by several wild cats in the imperial garden and both suffered miscarriages. On the day of the incident, Concubine Li from Changchun Palace left a suicide note admitting her crime and hanged herself.

Yinzhen lost two children at once, one of whom was his most anticipated child.

He became furious and, despite the Third Prince's pleas for mercy, demoted Concubine Li to a commoner and had her coffin buried at a random place near a mass grave.

In addition, the leader of the Sticking Rod Department, Xia Qian, was secretly asked to conduct a thorough investigation, and unsurprisingly, he discovered the Queen's handiwork, with An Lingrong from the Yanx Palace also involved.

The spices used on Zhen Huan and Concubine Shun were mixed by her, and it was she who was ordered by the Queen to use spices to train wild cats to pounce on people.

Yinzhen immediately ordered Su Peisheng to send all the palace servants around the queen to the Shenxingsi to investigate her actions over the years so that they could be made public as evidence when the previous dynasty deposed the queen.

Lu Yingfeng decisively got involved, so the confession obtained by Su Peisheng included the fact that the Queen murdered Queen Chunyuan and the Second Prince.

When Yinzhen read these confessions, he felt exhausted.

Although he knew that the queen was cruel, he never thought that every time the queen took action, his own mother would clean up the mess for her.

Is the glory of Ulanara and Uya more important than her own grandson?

Yinzhen couldn't help but wonder, if the queen married the fourteenth prince and harmed his offspring, would the empress dowager remain indifferent and even help clean up the mess?

Yinzhen sat alone in the Yangxin Palace for a long time before he ordered Su Peisheng outside to bring in the queen.

The queen guessed that if she took action this time, Yinzhen would doubt her or put her under house arrest. She didn't care about these things, because she had no power anyway. What she wanted was to get rid of those evil offspring and force Li to death.

In this way, the Third Prince would become her only son, and when the Third Prince ascended the throne in the future, she could also become the only empress dowager.

But she didn't expect that Yinzhen cared so much about the child in Zhen Huan's belly that he even sent everyone around her to the Shenxingsi for the sake of this child. Once they went to the Shenxingsi to tell her about her behavior, what other options would she have?

So when she knew that Yinzhen summoned her, she guessed her fate.

In the end, the two of them went from "I wish to be together day and night" to "I will never see you again, regardless of life or death".

Yinzhen issued an edict to abolish Ulanara Yixiu's position as queen and erase her trace from history.

At this point, Aisin-Gioro Yinzhen had only one queen, and that was Ulanara Rouze.

Ulanara Yixiu was demoted to a commoner, and from then on, Jingren Palace became her cold palace.

Yixiu valued her status as the principal wife the most. After being demoted to a commoner, she no longer had any hope, so she committed suicide by cutting her wrists that night.

When Yinzhen found out about this, he gave her a coffin and had her buried by the Ulanara clan, not even allowing her to be buried in the concubine's tomb.

The original owner's wish was fulfilled again, and Lu Yingfeng felt very happy.

At the beginning, many people in the court, especially officials who attached great importance to etiquette, believed that deposing the queen would bring shame to the royal family and would have a bad impact, and they were very upset about it.

No one in the former dynasty spoke up until Yinzhen announced Yixiu's crimes.

An Lingrong's end was very tragic. Yinzhen ordered her to commit suicide in the cold palace. When Zhen Huan found out, she went to the cold palace and strangled her to death.

In order to compensate Zhen Huan and Concubine Shun, and also because there was no Queen always mentioning the ancestral rules.

Zhen Huan became the fifth concubine besides the four concubines, Concubine Wan, and moved to Chengqian Palace.

Shun Guiren was promoted to Shunpin and became the head of Yanx Palace.

Borjigit, a noble lady in Jingyang Palace, was also promoted to Hepin.

Apart from Concubine Hua and Concubine Li who said a lot of sour words, most people in the palace just watched coldly and had no opinions.

Lu Yingfeng was too lazy to watch Prince Dun's ridiculous act of rebellion, and she didn't want to see the emperor ignore her and her sons' lives and just send Zhen Huan to Penglai Island to avoid disaster. So she sent a letter to Prince Dun's wife, explaining Prince Dun's thoughts and the consequences, and asked Prince Dun's wife to choose between her children and her husband.

Although Prince Dun and his wife are very loving, in the eyes of a mother, nothing is more important than her children.

Soon Prince Dun suffered a stroke and became unable to speak or move.

Yinzhen also sent several skilled doctors to treat Prince Dun in person, just to see if he was faking illness. After the doctors' diagnosis, it was confirmed that Prince Dun had indeed suffered a stroke and it was difficult for him to recover.

I have to say that Prince Dun's wife was quite ruthless.

But in this way, the entire Prince Dun's Mansion will no longer have to worry.

For the sake of his own reputation, Yinzhen would also have people take good care of the palace.

In the same year, Yinzhen had already laid out a plan, asking officials headed by Zhen Huan's father Zhen Yuandao to collect evidence to impeach Nian Gengyao.

In the end, Nian Gengyao completely fell in the autumn of the fourth year of Yongzheng's reign.

Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan have been competing for favor for many years and have always been at odds with each other, and there is also a life involved between them.

Poor Fang Jia Chunyi, had just served the emperor for a short time when she accidentally discovered that Nian Shilan was colluding with Nian Gengyao outside the palace to sell official positions and titles, and was drowned by Zhou Ninghai who was by her side.

In order to avenge Chun'er, Zhen Huan instigated Concubine Li to go to the Yangxin Palace to report Nian Shilan.

Lipin's father was an officer under Nian Gengyao. If Nian Gengyao fell from power, her father would not be in good shape if she did nothing.

For this reason, she believed Zhen Huan's words and reported Nian Shilan.

It was said that she caused Shen Meizhuang to fall into the water, drowned Fang Jiachunyi, and sold official positions and titles.

While Yinzhen was angry at Nian Shilan, he also disliked Lipin's betrayal of Nian Shilan.

After sending away Concubine Li, he issued an edict to strip Nian Shilan of her title, demoted her to a noble lady, and confined her to the Yiku Palace, where she was not allowed to leave until she was dead.

After learning that Nian Shilan had committed such a serious crime, Concubine Duan felt unfair that Yinzhen still spared her life and let her continue to be a noble lady. She felt that she had lost her fertility because of Nian Shilan, and only when Nian Shilan died could she relieve her hatred.

So she changed into a palace maid's clothes in the middle of the night, quietly went to Yiku Palace, and told her the origin of the bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine and the secret of Huanyixiang.

Nian Shilan cried out, "Your Majesty, you have caused Shilan so much pain!"

Then he hit his head against the wall and committed suicide.

Yinzhen was very sad when he learned of Nian Shilan's death. In addition to being sad, he also felt something was wrong. He had not ordered Nian Shilan to be executed, and Nian Shilan was only temporarily confined to her house. How could he know that there would be no day when she would be restored to power? Why would she commit suicide?

So he asked Xia Qian to conduct a thorough investigation and found out that Concubine Duan of Yanqing Palace went to Yiku Palace on the night when Nian Shilan committed suicide.

Concubine Duan knew the darkest secret in Yinzhen's heart, so Yinzhen naturally guessed that she had told Nian Shilan about it, which was why Nian Shilan committed suicide.

So he immediately became furious and ordered that Concubine Duan die of illness, along with Concubine Li who betrayed Nian Shilan. Both of them were poisoned by the secret medicine of the previous dynasty, and they died within ten days.

After Nian Shilan's death, Yinzhen posthumously conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu on her.

However, Concubine Duan and Concubine Li were buried according to the rites for noble ladies and maids-in-waiting.

Everyone therefore understood that they must have done something to make Yinzhen dislike them, which was why they died so miserably. Maybe it was related to the death of Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu.

As soon as Nian Shilan died, Lu Yingfeng became the highest-ranking imperial concubine.

There are very few concubines in the palace nowadays.

There were four concubines: Concubine Jing, Concubine Hui, Concubine Fang, and Concubine Wan.

There were three concubines in total, including Shunpin, Hepin, and Yupin who had always been in the Rehe Palace.

There was not a single noble lady, maid, concubine, or official daughter-in-law among them.

For this reason, some people in the previous dynasty suggested that Yinzhen hold a selection of concubines.

When Yinzhen counted, he found that he only had eight concubines, which was pitifully few compared to the number of the previous emperor. However, if he held a large-scale beauty contest, it would be a waste of money and time.

So he came to find Lu Yingfeng, who had the highest position.

"There are too few concubines now. Someone in the previous dynasty proposed a selection of concubines, but I think it would be a waste of money and time. What do you think we should do?"

Logically speaking, Lu Yingfeng has no power in the palace, so Yinzhen should not ask her, but she is now the highest-ranking person in the palace, so it is reasonable and proper to ask her what she thinks.

Lu Yingfeng looked at Yinzhen hesitantly, "In fact, there are some things that I have wanted to say for a long time, but before that, with the commoner Ulanara, I was not in a position to speak."

"You said."

"In fact, not only the emperor should be selected, but even the third prince has reached the age for selection. I remember that the third prince was born in the 48th year of Kangxi, and he is already 17 years old. I heard that he has no servants around him, which is not appropriate. In addition to the third prince, I also thought of Prince Guo. Prince Guo is already 30 years old, so why doesn't he have a wife?"

Yinzhen was stunned when he heard this. It was okay to marry Prince Guo, because he was the one who didn't want to marry. But he wondered why he had never thought of arranging a marriage for the third prince.

It seems that he doesn't pay enough attention to his eldest son.

"So you think the draft is a sure thing?"

"That's right. But if Your Majesty doesn't want to waste time and money, then it would be better to just choose within the capital. This will not only save time and effort, but also money."

"This is a good idea! Feng'er is really smart." Yinzhen was so happy that he carried Lu Yingfeng to the bed and pressed her down to make love with her.

Now that Yixiu and Nian Shilan are both dead, Lu Yingfeng feels that it is time to get pregnant with Shuhe.

So she secretly took a Dragon and Phoenix Pill. The reason why she took the Dragon and Phoenix Pill was because she thought that she would give the pill to the women in the harem in the future, most of whom were daughters. Lu Yingfeng hoped that Shuhe, as the daughter of the twins, would be more special in Yinzhen's heart than other daughters.

This time, the selection was aimed at people in Beijing, so some concubines whose families were in Beijing also had female relatives who needed to participate in the selection.

Lu Yingfeng didn't have one in her own family, but she thought of someone, Zhen Huan's sister Zhen Yurao.

Lu Yingfeng felt that one Chun Yuan figurine was enough in the palace, so she asked the spy in Chengqian Palace to reveal to Zhen Huan that she was a Chun Yuan figurine. Zhen Huan didn't believe it at first, but after testing Cui Jinxi, she realized that she was just a substitute.

How could someone as proud as Zhen Huan be someone else's substitute?

She suddenly felt disheartened and wanted to become a nun at Ganlu Temple. But Dingzi reminded her that sisters look alike, and she looked so much like Queen Chunyuan, so what about Zhen Yurao?

Zhen Huan couldn't bear to see her sister trapped in this cage, so she went to beg Yinzhen to exempt her sister from the selection on the grounds that she already had a lover.

Zhen Huan was the most favored concubine in the harem. With her whispering in his ear, how could Yinzhen not agree?

He even thought of arranging a marriage for Zhen Yurao.

It was only because Zhen Huan said that her family wanted to keep her sister for a few years that Yinzhen did not issue the decree.

One month after Lu Yingfeng became pregnant, it was time for the palace selection.

When Yinzhen participated in the selection for the first time, the Empress Dowager accompanied him. This time, he asked Lu Yingfeng to accompany him.

It just so happened that Lu Yingfeng remembered that one of the original owner's wishes was to make Guarjia Wenyuan fall out of favor.

If she wants to fall out of favor, she must first be favored.

So Lu Yingfeng also wanted to go to the palace selection to ensure that Guarjia Wenyuan was selected.

The third prince's wife and concubine, Yinzhen, had already been chosen, and he was just waiting to meet the person and leave a name card to grant the marriage.

In the end, the third prince decided to marry Dong E.

Yinzhen selected six people for his harem this time, three of them were from the Manchu army and three from the Han army.

Guaerjia Wenyuan was among them, and was still given the title of Noble Lady Qi.

After the new person entered the palace, Zhen Huan still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, so she started to stay away from the emperor's favor by pretending to be sick. Concubine Qi didn't want to target Zhen Huan, and the Queen didn't give her and her father any advice to target Zhen Yuandao. Therefore, when Zhen Yuandao refused to write a poem to denounce Qian Mingshi, Yinzhen was angry and demoted him to the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple. It was like going back to the beginning of the Yongzheng era.

After hearing the news, Zhen Huan, under Huanbi's persuasion, decided to restore her favor and calm Yinzhen's anger.

So Zhen Huan broke out of the siege again and became a favorite concubine again.

Because Cao Qinmo was sentenced to death by Yinzhen in the Qiandi Palace, without her instigation, Huanbi would still obediently follow Zhen Huan as a maid. In addition, seeing how difficult it was for Zhen Huan to lose her child after becoming pregnant, she had no intention of becoming a palace concubine.

Not long after Zhen Huan regained favor, she recognized her as her sister and married her off.

In June of the following year, Lü Yingfeng's twins, a boy and a girl, were born. Yinzhen named the two children Hongxing and Shuhe, and promoted Lü Yingfeng to Imperial Noble Consort, retaining the title Jin, so she was Imperial Noble Consort Jin.

In the same year, Concubine Jing and Concubine Fang were diagnosed with pregnancy, and gave birth to the second and third princesses one after another. They were also promoted to imperial concubines.

Others also gave birth to five princesses one after another. Among them, Concubine Fang became pregnant again when the third princess was three years old and gave birth to a little prince.

Lu Yingfeng designed a plan to let Yinzhen meet Guaerjia Wenyuan abusing palace maids and eunuchs. Yinzhen saw that Guaerjia Wenyuan had two faces in front of people and behind their backs. Lu Yingfeng's intentional or unintentional reminders reminded him of the treacherous Ulanara Yixiu. Guaerjia Wenyuan was demoted and fell out of favor from then on.

The time came to the tenth year of Yongzheng's reign.

During these five years, when Lu Yingfeng's parents went to Ganlu Temple to burn incense, they found that some foreigners had died of snake venom near the temple.

This was of course arranged by Lu Yingfeng. She would not let the tiger go back to the mountain like Zhen Huan and Prince Guo did and let it be poisoned to death. Lu Xian pretended to find out that this person had a noble identity and reported it to Yinzhen.

It just so happened that Princess Chaogui, grateful for Lu Yingfeng's help, secretly sent her a secret letter, saying that the Junggar Khan Moge had quietly left Junggar and might have gone to the capital, and also attached a portrait of Moge.

Lu Yingfeng quickly gave Yinzhen the news from Princess Chaogui and the portrait. Yinzhen then summoned Lu Xian to the palace to look at the portrait and identify the person. He also sent someone to bring Moge's body into the palace. The two sides identified Moge and confirmed his identity.

Yinzhen knew that if the news of Moge's death spread, there would be unrest in Junggar, so he prepared to capture him by surprise.

Lu Yingfeng took the opportunity to suggest that Princess Chaogui could be summoned back to the Qing Dynasty in the name of her biological mother's birthday to celebrate her mother's birthday, so as to avoid hurting Princess Chaogui, who had made great contributions.

Eventually Princess Chaogui returned to the Qing Dynasty, and Yinzhen took down Junggar in three years.

Although Yinzhen was happy that he had more children after the queen's death and that there were no unexpected miscarriages, after Lu Yingfeng's twins, he had eight princesses in a row and only one son, and his excitement was reduced a lot.

He also asked Lu Yingfeng whether it was the Changshengtian who punished him, so he gave birth to so many daughters.

Lu Yingfeng said, although you have done many evil things, it is really not Changshengtian's fault, it was my sister who drugged them.
