The emperor's arms gently wrapped around An Lingrong. To the palace people, it was as if An Lingrong was throwing herself into his arms and the emperor was hugging her tightly.
Those palace servants serving in the small kitchen were like wood. They really didn't expect that one day they would see the emperor and his concubines like this.
An Lingrong looked natural and accepted the emperor's embrace well.
Again, she is going to be the empress dowager, and having a good relationship with the emperor will only benefit her and not harm her.
Feng Yinyin had also appeared before the emperor when he was not yet the emperor, but at that time he was still surrounded by secret guards, so he did not need to do many things personally.
But this doesn't mean that he doesn't know how to wash vegetables or peel garlic.
An Lingrong was processing the meat that had already been drained of blood, and seeing that the emperor washed the vegetables in an expert manner, she did not hesitate to praise him.
An Lingrong: "Your Majesty is amazing. He washes the vegetables so cleanly. The dishes cooked this way must taste better."
An Lingrong: "It's great to have the Emperor's help. I feel full of strength and have more confidence in myself."
An Lingrong's tone was sincere, and it was obvious that she was genuine. Although the emperor never lacked people to flatter him, he still enjoyed An Lingrong's praise.
After washing the vegetables, I went to help An Lingrong peel the garlic.
An Lingrong was also generous in her praise. In the entire small kitchen, An Lingrong never stopped praising the emperor for being so great.
The palace maids who were standing around like wooden sticks were already numb. No way, no way, the emperor wouldn't really like to hear people say such things, would he? It felt like coaxing a child, so childish.
However, An Lingrong's praise seemed childish to the palace maids, but it was just right for the emperor, the person involved.
He had never had such a warm feeling before. An Lingrong's voice was pleasant and gentle. Even a simple compliment made his heart feel comfortable as if it was soaked in warm water.
An Lingrong really liked to praise the emperor, because the emperor was really helping all the time. Except for the matter of making the fire, which was done by the palace servants, he really helped as much as he could with other things.
Worried that An Lingrong would tire her wrists from stir-frying, she took over and did the stir-frying herself. Although it was her first time doing this, she did an exceptionally good job.
An Lingrong was also generous in her praise. Not only that, she was also very gentle and considerate in wiping the emperor's sweat and fanning him.
All the palace servants were numb. Even though they were servants, they knew that other concubines were accompanying the emperor, drinking tea and appreciating flowers. Only Concubine Ling was truly unique. She was not afraid of death and dragged the emperor to the small kitchen.
Not only that, but he was so bold as to ask the emperor to help wash vegetables, peel garlic, and cook...
They all wished they had no eyes. If the emperor were to investigate this later, they would probably not have enough heads to chop off even if they had a hundred.
Every time An Lingrong wiped his sweat, the emperor could smell her fragrance. At first he thought she had used incense, but gradually he realized that this was not the case.
An Lingrong has been using floral dew since she came into this world at the age of eight. She doesn't need any perfumed dew or ointment like other concubines. Moreover, the smell on her body is definitely not unpleasant, but a very comfortable smell.
The smell gradually calmed the emperor down, and the heat in the kitchen disappeared.
Whenever An Lingrong looked into the eyes of the Emperor, she would smile faintly and show a gentle look. Everything was just right, without any affectation at all.
Every time the emperor was looked at by An Lingrong's gentle eyes, he felt that they were just an ordinary couple among the countless people.
He knew clearly that he was the emperor, but he was very greedy for the heartbeat at this moment.
An Lingrong worked together with the emperor to prepare three dishes and one soup. Compared with the emperor's daily meals, it was not good enough, but these three dishes and one soup were made by them personally.
The taste was naturally better than any dish they had ever eaten before.
The emperor really became happy just as An Lingrong said.
The emperor accompanied An Lingrong to finish the meal, but did not stay overnight in Chengqian Palace.
The first is that it is against the rules, and the second is that he has a lot of work to deal with.
An Lingrong did not try to keep the emperor, but gave him a jar of water and a tea bag.
The emperor didn't know what An Lingrong had given him, so An Lingrong took the initiative to explain:
"The water in this jar is the flower dew that I collected from the flower petals. The tea bag is also the flower tea that I specially prepared. It is good for eyesight and health. Your Majesty is busy with many things every day, so you should take good care of your health."
An Lingrong smiled shyly but sweetly: "Your humble servant is stupid, I just hope that Your Majesty is in good health."
Although An Lingrong wanted to be the empress dowager, she didn't want to get involved in politics. To put it bluntly, she was a simple-minded person and didn't know anything about politics. Instead of causing trouble and making a fool of herself, it would be better to be clear from the beginning. Wouldn't it be better to be a stupid beauty?
Besides, this is a cannibalistic world of imperial power. She believes that the emperor must not like concubines with a keen political sense, otherwise the harem would not be allowed to interfere in politics.
I believe the emperor can rest assured and favor a beauty like her who is both wealthy and sensible.
After all, apart from being rich, she has nothing good in the world.
The emperor had just felt unprecedented warmth from An Lingrong, and now was the time to feel soft-hearted. Even if An Lingrong gave him nothing, he would still be in a good mood.
For the men of the Aisin-Gioro family, if you love them, you want them to live, and if you hate them, you want them to die.
Today, An Lingrong is the type that the emperor is attracted to and does not need to face the threat of death.
Although the emperor still had a lot of official business to deal with, he walked briskly, and his mouth and eyebrows expressed his happiness.
Su Peisheng followed the emperor closely, secretly shocked. This noble lady was truly extraordinary.
He has followed the emperor until now, and this is the first time he has seen the emperor act like this for a woman.
The emperor was a good emperor who worked diligently and loved his people, so as soon as he stepped into the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he became a complete workaholic.
During this period, Su Peisheng personally boiled water and made tea to serve the emperor.
This was the floral dew that the nobleman had collected personally, and the tea bags that he had prepared himself. He would never dare to let others do it.
When Su Peisheng came back with the tea, the emperor smelled a pleasant floral scent. Although the smell was faint, it was similar to the scent on An Lingrong. The emperor couldn't help but look up, and Su Peisheng just came over to serve tea.
Su Peisheng was also smelling the fragrance along the way as he carried the tea. It was a pity that he was a servant and could not enjoy these things. However, he was very happy just by smelling them.
This water, this tea, are indeed good things. He feels relaxed just by smelling the fragrance.
The emperor picked up the tea and drank it slowly. As the tea went down his throat, his tense mood was relieved.
The emperor drank the tea unconsciously and felt full of energy.
For the sake of the emperor's health, An Lingrong gave him good things like flower dew, which naturally made the emperor full of energy.
The Emperor finally gave his younger brother an order to come back and see the Empress Dowager for the last time.
The Empress Dowager did not know that the Emperor had already ordered his youngest son to return to the capital, so she could not help but argue with Aunt Zhuxi in Shoukang Palace, saying that the Emperor was not considerate of her feelings as a mother.
As a servant, Zhuxi dared not mention the emperor's faults, so she could only comfort the empress dowager. The emperor was filial, but children would inevitably compete for favor. The emperor was also a child, so he naturally did not like the empress dowager mentioning his brother in everything. He must be jealous, not because he had any resentment towards his brother.
The Queen Mother knew that Zhu Xi's words were all comforting. In fact, she felt that her eldest son was not raised by her side since he was a child, so he was not close to her at all. If he really treated her as his own mother, he would not disobey her.
The empress dowager did not tell anyone about her thoughts. No matter how bad her son was, he was still her son. Although she did not have a deep mother-son relationship with the emperor, he was still her own child after all. She was really angry about the emperor's disobedience to her, so she never gave the emperor a good look every time he came to Shoukang Palace.
Every time the emperor went to Shoukang Palace, he was in a bad mood and would go to Chengqian Palace instead. At this time, his mood would become very relaxed. After coming here more often, he noticed changes in Chengqian Palace.
All the flowers planted by An Lingrong bloomed, colorful and very beautiful. Not only that, An Lingrong also planted lush green vegetables.
He really didn't expect that there were concubines in the harem who farmed, but it was understandable that this happened to An Lingrong.
An Lingrong was different from the other women in the harem, and he saw that the green vegetables planted by An Lingrong were all growing well.
When the emperor came, An Lingrong was weeding the vegetable field. She did the whole process herself and did not act like a boss at all.
An Lingrong naturally knew that the emperor was coming, but she was pulling weeds now, and the emperor did not ask anyone to inform her, so she naturally pretended not to know and continued to pull weeds seriously.
She farmed in Chengqian Palace not for the emperor, but simply because she was interested in farming now.
But her little interest accidentally made the emperor even more interested in her.
The emperor followed An Lingrong in pulling weeds. As a diligent and pragmatic emperor, he also knew how to farm, and pulling weeds was no problem for him.
He and An Lingrong worked together and quickly pulled out all the weeds in the field.
An Lingrong: "Your Majesty is really amazing, he can pull out the weeds so quickly!"
An Lingrong's eyes were full of admiration for the emperor. To express her admiration, she even personally helped the emperor wash and dress, just like an ordinary couple.
Whenever the emperor entered Chengqian Palace, he would relax completely. He was also particularly tolerant towards An Lingrong and indulged her in small matters.
An Lingrong was not someone who relied on her favor to become arrogant. When the emperor came, she would receive him with joy, and when he left, she would not be so ignorant as to try to keep him.
The emperor felt relaxed, happy and comfortable when he was with An Lingrong. Not only that, he also fell in love with An Lingrong's tea bags and now drinks them every day.
After drinking An Lingrong's tea, he felt more energetic and healthier.
Although the emperor has never stayed overnight in Chengqian Palace, everyone knows that An Lingrong is now the most favored woman in the entire harem, and no one can compare to her.
In Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua was very unhappy. She had always regarded the Queen as her biggest rival and felt that the Queen was unworthy of the position as she was old and ugly.
Apart from being the Empress Dowager's niece, a member of the Ulanara clan, and an old woman who had followed the Emperor since his death, the Empress was completely useless.
But it was this useless woman who had always been the one weighing on her head.
After a lot of effort, the old woman, the Queen, died. She thought that she would have absolute control over the harem from now on. With the help of her brother Nian Gengyao and the emperor's favor towards her, it should be a foregone conclusion that she would become the Queen.
But the old woman, the queen, had been buried for a long time, and the emperor's decree to make her the queen had not yet been issued.
Not only that, when the emperor came to the harem, he only went to two places, one was Shoukang Palace, and the other was Chengqian Palace.
The Empress Dowager was in a bad mood and seriously ill because the old woman, the Queen, had passed away. It was understandable that the Emperor went to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects and show her filial piety. After all, the Empress Dowager was the Emperor's mother, and she could understand that the Emperor loved her. But what right did the Concubine Ling from Chengqian Palace have?
Even though the emperor never stayed in Chengqian Palace and never favored her, it was a fact that her status in the harem rose!
She had never been alone in her boudoir for such a long time before. In the past, no matter what happened, even if the emperor didn't see other people in the harem, he would come to Yikun Palace to talk to her. There was no difference between them and husband and wife.
But now, the emperor has not come to Yikun Palace for a long time. It must be that the little bitch Ling Guiren used some seductive tricks to seduce the emperor, otherwise why wouldn't the emperor come to Yikun Palace to see her?
Concubine Hua hated An Lingrong in Chengqian Palace so much that her teeth were itching, but no matter what means she used, she could not find out a single thing about Chengqian Palace.
The palace servants she had previously placed in Chengqian Palace were transferred to other places without knowing why. Now, the palace servants serving in Chengqian Palace have such tight mouths that even money cannot pry open their mouths, like gourds with sawed mouths.
She had always used money to pave her way in the palace. She knew that people in the underground had a hard life. In the past, nothing had failed for her when she used money. But now, she kept hitting a wall in Chengqian Palace!
Is it possible that the little bitch in Chengqian Palace is so popular?
An Lingrong didn't know what Concubine Hua was thinking. If she knew, she would tell Concubine Hua that 90% of all the palace maids in her Chengqian Palace were the emperor's people, and the remaining 10% were all clean.
Moreover, they all made An Lingrong use the loyalty talisman, so they would not betray her even if someone stabbed them and wanted their lives, let alone money.
What happened in Chengqian Palace, she must not leak even a single detail if she wanted to.
Besides, does Concubine Hua really think that the Emperor is just a decoration?
How could anyone else know the emperor's performance in Chengqian Palace? Not to mention that she couldn't find out, even if she did, would she be allowed to hear it?
Chengqian Palace is a quiet place that the emperor found for himself in the harem. He would never let anyone destroy it. Besides, the emperor nowadays can no longer rely on only one military general, Nian Gengyao.
The Fourteenth Prince has returned to Beijing. He is a great general and king. It is a pipe dream for Nian Gengyao to jump around in front of him.
The emperor is now the emperor that An Lingrong wanted to see. He is no longer the emperor who couldn't stand to see his brothers doing well. Besides, An Lingrong couldn't bear to see a talented general like the Fourteenth Prince embezzle.
The Queen Mother never thought that she would be able to see her youngest son before she died.
She thought that the emperor would never let his youngest son return to Beijing in his lifetime. When she saw his youngest son, she even suspected that he knew her situation and returned to Beijing secretly.
As a result, the youngest son shook his head and told the whole story of his return to the capital. Not only that, the youngest son also said that the emperor had appointed him as the general king.
The Queen Mother had never imagined that her two sons would one day be united, so she naturally cried with joy.
In her heart, the empress dowager actually preferred her younger son to be the emperor, but now everything was a foregone conclusion and it was her eldest son who ascended the throne, and she really didn't want any more turmoil. If she really had to see her son die before her, she would not be able to close her eyes even if she died.
Besides, no one knows a son better than his mother. Although the younger son has the ability to lead troops in battle, he is still too young to govern a country.
But now, she is content to see her younger son reconcile with her older son before she dies.
The Queen Mother said a lot of words to get the brothers to live in harmony with each other, and the Fourteenth Prince listened carefully.
The Fourteenth Prince thought a lot on his way back to Beijing. Although he and the emperor were brothers from the same mother, their relationship in the past was really bad. He would rather play with other princes than be with the emperor.
As his mother's youngest son, he felt that the emperor was an unfilial son who did not consider his mother's feelings at all. He always held on to little things and always made his mother sad. He was also cold to his brother and treated Thirteenth Emperor better than him. Naturally, he did not want to be friends with his brother, the emperor.
But after leaving Beijing, he would always think of his childhood in his dreams at midnight. Although the emperor had a cold face at that time, he also protected him many times. When he was very young, he also longed to have a brother to play with him. However, because of the emperor's temperament and his mother's obstruction, he gradually forgot his childhood feelings, and became jealous of the Thirteenth Prince, and became more and more unwilling to get close to the emperor.
Every time he woke up from the dream, he felt very sad. If he could be smarter at that time, instead of just seeing the emperor's cold face, he would see his true intentions. He would not have reported so many bad things, making his mother more dissatisfied with the emperor. He could have a closer relationship with the emperor.
He had clearly longed to have a brother, but in the end it ended up like this.
He had not expected to receive the emperor's letter this time. He thought that the emperor would never change his mind and let him see his mother. Facts proved that he was just being mean. Not only that, the emperor let bygones be bygones and appointed him as the general king.
This was something he had never dared to imagine, but now it has come true. After all, he is not as magnanimous as the emperor.
An Lingrong looked at the talisman paper in her hand that was emitting faint light, revealing her hidden merits and fame.
She had put in a lot of effort to make the Fourteenth Prince truly submit, but now everything turned out well.
The return of the Fourteenth Prince seemed to be a signal. Soon, the emperor's brothers and the princes of the Aisin-Gioro clan appeared in the court one by one. Not only that, they all seemed to have changed their tone and were absolutely obedient to the emperor.
As the saying goes, when brothers are united, they can break any obstacle. Although Emperor Kangxi raised his children like raising a Gu, it is undeniable that the princes he raised were all talented.
Their appearance greatly relieved the emperor's pressure and also allowed the court officials to see the emperor's vision and means.
After the Fourteenth Prince came back, the Empress Dowager's health recovered day by day. During this period, the Empress Dowager smiled when the Emperor came to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects, and the relationship between mother and son improved.
However, even if the empress dowager is still the same as before, the emperor will not feel bad, because he has found emotional support again.
After the empress dowager's body gradually recovered, she began to pay attention to the affairs of the emperor's harem. After the empress died, the emperor did not set foot in the harem. She became even more anxious and advised the emperor to quickly favor the harem so as to expand the royal family.
As for the Queen's affiliation, the Empress Dowager doesn't look down on Concubine Hua at all.
The Queen Mother: "Although Concubine Hua is infatuated with you, she is too domineering and jealous. Her brother Nian Gengyao is also spoiled and has no rules at all. For the sake of peace in the harem, she must not be allowed to be the Queen."
The emperor also knew what the empress dowager meant, and in order to reassure her, he told her the truth.
The Emperor said: "Don't worry, Empress Dowager. Although Shilan is good, she is not good enough to be the Empress. She is devoted to me, and I cannot let her down. Besides, Nian Gengyao has done a lot for me. It depends on how he behaves in the future. If he can change his temper, I will make Shilan a noble concubine."
"As for the choice of the Empress..." The Emperor pondered, An Lingrong's face flashing before his eyes. "Son, you have to think about it carefully. The Empress is the mother of the country. She is to be the mother of the country and bring blessings to the people. This cannot be decided hastily."
The Queen Mother felt relieved after hearing what the Emperor said. She had no idea that the Emperor already wanted to make An Lingrong the Queen, but it was just too early.
With the calculations of the two sisters Chunyuan and Yixiu, he is now very cautious in choosing the queen and will never appoint her just like that.
After the Queen's death, the affairs of the harem were jointly managed by Concubine Hua, Concubine Duan, Concubine Qi, and Concubine Jing. In order to prevent Concubine Hua from having absolute power, the Emperor also sent people who served her to assist in the management.
Privately, he would rather hand over the power of the palace to An Lingrong, but now An Lingrong has not yet served him in bed, and her rank is only a noble lady, which is not against the rules.
After the Emperor talked with the Empress Dowager, he began to flip the cards to choose someone to sleep with him. The first person whose card was called was naturally An Lingrong.
According to the rules, An Lingrong should be washed clean and then sent to the emperor's dragon bed, but the emperor did not do that. Instead, he asked the palace servants to decorate Chengqian Palace as if it were a bridal chamber.
Not only that, the entire process followed folk marriage customs. Both of them wore bright red wedding dresses, drank wedding wine, ate raw dumplings, and there were longans, dates, peanuts, and other things on the bed that symbolized the early birth of a son.
An Lingrong knew that the emperor had some special feelings towards her and had some subtle affection for her, but she never expected the emperor to do such a thing.
What's going on? Could it be that Queen Chunyuan, the white moonlight in the emperor's heart, has stepped aside?
The emperor actually asked her to wear such a bright red wedding dress and marry him.
When the emperor looked at An Lingrong in her bright red wedding gown, he felt that she was a fairy from heaven who had descended to earth. When he first met her, he felt that An Lingrong was cold and unapproachable, but when he got close to her, he realized how warm and gentle she was.
Her warmth and gentleness are different from Chun Yuan's. Her warmth and gentleness are independent and belong to him alone. They are the scenery that only he can see.
The emperor had conflicting feelings towards Chunyuan, but whenever he thought about how she knew what Yixiu had done but still kept it from him, his feelings for her soured.
As Chunyuan's sister, Yixiu did so many wrong things and killed so many of his descendants. If it weren't for Chunyuan's last wish, he would never have been willing to keep Yixiu, but what he got was Chunyuan's betrayal.
In order to contact Jinghong Wu, her body had already been destroyed by the Xiji Pills, and that child could be said to be the only bloodline between the two of them.
Chunyuan said that she loved him, but in her heart she preferred her sister Yixiu. Even though she knew about the dirty things Yixiu had done, she was still willing to cover up for her.
He had done something wrong to Yixiu in the past, but Yixiu could have taken revenge on him. Those children who died in her hands were so innocent!
He was also heartbroken when Honghui passed away, but what could he do at that time?
If she was angry with Chun Yuan, she could have shown it clearly. She clearly wished Chun Yuan would die, but she still pretended to be a loving sister in front of him.
He believed her performance too much and thought that she was really as loving as a sister as she appeared to be, so he made such a stupid decision to let her take care of Chunyuan.
As for Chun Yuan, as his bedmate, she schemed against him step by step.
The emperor felt that his first half of life was extremely ridiculous. Fortunately, God treated him well and let him meet An Lingrong.
The emperor's thoughts were complicated, but none of them affected An Lingrong's good mood.
No matter what, she has worn a wedding dress. If the emperor had not wanted to do so, she might never have become a bride in her life. It was a very interesting experience for her.
Being in a good mood, An Lingrong was willing to cooperate with the emperor, which made the emperor feel extremely happy all night long.
An Lingrong actually enjoyed it quite a bit. She hadn't expected that the Emperor was taken care of so well by her and was not a useless guy. She was very satisfied.
The Emperor dotes on An Lingrong alone. Now that there is no Queen in the palace, all the greetings have been cancelled. Originally, when there was no Queen, the concubines in the harem were supposed to go to Shoukang Palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother was used to a quiet life and didn't want to be disturbed by these beautiful girls, so she cancelled the greetings in the palace.
Concubine Hua wanted to set some rules for the concubines in the harem, but she was not even a noble concubine now, and the emperor had not come to her Yikun Palace for a long time. She really didn't dare to put on airs for fear of displeasing the emperor.
The emperor's favoritism towards An Lingrong was not just for one or two days, or one or two months. Instead, ever since he favored An Lingrong, the emperor has never turned over the cards of other concubines.
In the Jingshifang, the green card holders of other concubines were all covered in dust.
But the emperor's good intentions are the greatest. Now that the empress dowager has finally eased her relationship with the emperor, she doesn't want to be a bad person and make the relationship between mother and son worse.
What's more, An Lingrong was really rich. Knowing that she was a vegetarian and a Buddhist, he still gave her a lot of good things, and she was overwhelmed with gifts.
Not only that, An Lingrong also cooked food herself and accompanied the old lady in chanting sutras and praying for blessings. She was so grateful for the food that she couldn't say a bad word.
She also realized that the emperor now treasured An Lingrong, so there was no need for her to offend not only her son but also the God of Wealth.
With An Lingrong as the money bag, life in the palace has become better. Not only that, An Lingrong doesn't love money. Eighty percent of the money she earns goes into the emperor's pocket, and 20% is used for charity. She has to worship such a golden Buddha all the time.
Her youngest son is now a general and king, so she would never offend An Lingrong.
If there is anyone in the harem who least wants to see An Lingrong favored, it must be Concubine Hua. Now An Lingrong is on an equal footing with Concubine Ling. Whenever she thinks of the emperor's feelings for her, she feels uncomfortable.
Concubine Hua always wanted to find an opportunity to teach An Lingrong a lesson, but An Lingrong was too slippery. She stayed in Chengqian Palace all day, or went to Shoukang Palace. She had no free time at all and never went to the Imperial Garden.
I really don't know what is so attractive in Chengqian Palace!
Concubine Hua also wanted to write a letter to her brother Nian Gengyao, asking her to teach An Lingrong's adoptive father a lesson in front of him. But now all the princes are in the court serving the emperor, and Nian Gengyao is not interested in them at all.
Now he just hopes that the emperor will abandon him, so how could he dare to do anything unnecessary?
He loves his younger sister Nian Shilan, but there has been no good news about Nian Shilan since she entered the palace. Why is she fighting for a concubine who doesn't even have an heir?
He is old now and has done enough for his sister Nian Shilan. He also has to think about his own children. How can he still jump around when he knows that he is no longer precious?
My sister is in the palace, so as long as she doesn't cause any trouble, she should keep a low profile for the sake of the Nian family.
Empress Ling Fei's father is not an ordinary civil servant. He is a man with absolute means and political achievements. He is not someone he can easily overthrow. Now he is the apple of the emperor's eye.
Empress Hua has been abandoned by Nian Gengyao. As long as she doesn't act like a troublemaker, it will be good for everyone. Empress Hua is now walking on thin ice in the palace.
Concubine Hua is not a simple fool, and she has smart people like Cao Qinmo by her side. Concubine Hua also knows her situation in the palace. The emperor's heart will never be won back. Concubine Hua wants to make a fuss, but what is her position to do so?
When they were in the palace, didn't the emperor also favor her alone?
At that time, she was not as low-key as An Lingrong is now. She wished that all the women in the palace would die and not stand between her and the emperor.
But now that An Lingrong is so favored, she has never sought power in the palace. No matter what her motivation is, Nian Shilan does not want to fall out with An Lingrong.
Although she had never had a close relationship with An Lingrong, she was more afraid of her than hated her.
Apart from the Emperor, An Lingrong was the second person she feared. She didn't know where this fear came from, but it was enough to keep her in check.
An Lingrong was very satisfied with Concubine Hua's obedience. In fact, she could have gotten rid of Concubine Hua without anyone knowing, but she had never thought of doing so. Although Concubine Hua was bad, she had never thought of harming the children. Just for this reason, she didn't want to do anything to Concubine Hua.
Even if Concubine Hua has a thousand faults, there is always this one good thing about her. Besides, she is still willing to watch the show when there is a reckless person like Concubine Hua to deal with Concubine Duan and make her suffer.
The women in the harem are lonely, and even she likes to watch the show.
A single flower does not make spring, only a garden full of spring colors is beautiful.
After being favored by the emperor for half a year, An Lingrong announced the good news of her pregnancy. As luck would have it, she gave birth to the emperor's sixth prince.
The emperor was very happy and immediately named An Lingrong the queen, catching everyone off guard, even An Lingrong was surprised.
The emperor had long hoped to have a child with An Lingrong, and he had also long hoped to make An Lingrong the queen, but An Lingrong had never gotten pregnant, which was why he had to endure until now.
Now that An Lingrong has given birth to a healthy and lovely prince for him, he must make An Lingrong the queen.
The Empress Dowager was not happy with An Lingrong being the Queen, but when she thought about how An Lingrong was rich, her father was capable, and her family did not have those messy relatives, she did not object. She just asked the Emperor to think twice. If the Emperor wanted so, she would not be an evil mother-in-law who broke up the couple.
Because of the return of the Fourteenth Prince, the Empress Dowager's attention was diverted. She was unwilling to interfere in the affairs of the Emperor's son, so she did not specifically prevent An Lingrong from becoming the Queen.
An Lingrong became the queen and was promoted by the emperor to An Jia Lingrong.
My step-father became a duke, and my mother was also granted the first-rank imperial title. It can be said that the whole family was in great glory.
An Lingrong never thought that she would become the queen, but now that the emperor has asked her to be the queen, she will not be stage-frightened.
Moreover, she is not a power-hungry person. Although the power of the palace is in her hands, all the tasks have been assigned to her. She will never work herself to death to deal with these things. There are so many capable people and she is not the only one needed. She just needs to grasp the general direction.
After An Lingrong became the queen, all the concubines in the harem were promoted, and Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan became noble concubines.
Concubine Li, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Xin were promoted to imperial concubines, and Concubine Cao was promoted to concubine.
The rest of the people were also promoted. Since she had money, she was not afraid of spending money to promote these people.
Besides, the emperor has already begun to reorganize the Imperial Household Department. By then, the national treasury will become richer and everything will be better.
An Lingrong became the queen, but she had no hobby of having her sleep disturbed, so all the concubines in the palace still did not need to pay their respects, and the entire harem entered retirement mode ahead of time.
The person Concubine Duan hated the most was Concubine Hua, and she dreamed of overthrowing her. However, in the end, both of them became noble concubines, and neither of them was superior to Nian Shilan. She was not convinced.
Concubine Duan is a person who is good at planning and patient, but An Lingrong just likes to watch Concubine Hua fighting with her. If Concubine Duan had not given Concubine Hua the pregnancy-preserving medicine knowing that it was actually an abortion medicine, Concubine Hua would not have hated her so much and fed her safflower.
Why didn't she think about how Hua Fei trusted her and treated her as her close friend before she hated her?
As a friend, doesn't she know what the child means to Concubine Hua?
She knew it clearly but still did it, which only proved that she did not regard Hua Fei as a true friend. If that was the case, why bother pretending to talk about revenge?
In her opinion, Concubine Duan deserved what she had now. Concubine Hua was stupid, evil, and vicious, but she was not like this at the beginning. She was once a naive little girl and a woman who truly believed in her friends, Nian Shilan.
An Lingrong just couldn't stand Concubine Duan, so she let Concubine Hua fight with her while she watched happily and secretly got involved from time to time.
In this life, thanks to her care, the emperor was in good health and had always taken good care of the Sixth Prince. No one thought that he would abdicate.
When the Sixth Prince was eighteen years old, the Emperor abdicated and took An Lingrong on a tour, saying that she wanted to see the Qing Dynasty under his governance while she was still able to move.
What could An Lingrong do? Of course she would stay with him.
[Rabbit Spirit, you are now in the world of the TV series Legend of Zhen Huan, and your identity is the house-born child Song Zhi, and you are eight years old.]
[Your life span is ten years. If you cannot conceive a child after ten years, you will die.]
[For each child born, merit 100, life span 10 (years)]
[Your mission is to give birth to a child*5]
[Additional task: Protect the master Nian Shilan, merit 5000]
[The gold finger has been issued, I hope the host will continue to work hard and create brilliance! ]
The rabbit spirit had not been able to roll around happily for long because of her merits before she became a servant of the Nian family and a maid of Nian Shilan.
Today was the day she was selected along with other children from other families.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will become Miss Nian Shilan's personal maid.
Songzhi followed the rules of a family-born child and waited silently to be chosen by Nian Shilan.
In the boudoir, Nian Shilan rubbed her aching head and looked around. After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered that this was her boudoir before she got married.
But how could that be? Didn't she commit suicide because she discovered the emperor's true face?
Why did I come back here? Was it because this was a dream?
Nian Shilan pinched herself hard, but found that the pain was real.
Nian Shilan cried with joy, it was great that she was back. What about Songzhi?
In her previous life, after she committed suicide without a care in the world, her soul did not dissipate immediately, but wandered around the palace. Then she saw Zhen Huan fighting with the Queen, and then she saw the Queen lose. However, all this could not arouse her emotions. The only thing that made her regret was Song Zhi.
After she committed suicide, Songzhi also followed her. How could this be possible!
Her Songzhi is so nice, how could he go with her?
Nian Shilan became uneasy when she thought of Songzhi and kept shouting Songzhi's name. Others didn't know what was going on, so the nanny had to coax Nian Shilan and told her that today was the day to select maids.
Nian Shilan also remembered that, yes, she would choose Songzhi today because Songzhi had the most beautiful voice and the sweetest words.
Songzhi became Nian Shilan's personal maid, but she soon discovered that Nian Shilan was different. She took a risk and finally recognized Nian Shilan.
Songzhi: "Miss, I have no regrets seeing Miss Songzhi die."
Songzhi was sweet-talking, and Nian Shilan knew that now they were both starting over again, so it goes without saying that Nian Shilan was very excited.
She immediately took Songzhi to find her father, mother, and older brothers, wanting to make Songzhi her biological sister.
No one knew what Nian Shilan was up to, but they all doted on her, so Songzhi went from being a house girl to the third lady of the Nian family.
Songzhi did not change at all because of her change of identity. She still served Nian Shilan loyally. Nian Shilan did not allow her to do so, so Songzhi had no choice but to obey.
At night, the two of them slept together, and Songzhi asked Nian Shilan: "Miss..."
Nian Shilan: "Call me sister. You are no longer a child of the family. You are the third daughter of the Nian family and are listed in the family tree."
Songzhi had no choice but to call Nian Shilan her sister: "Sister, have you thought about what to do in the future? Do you want to tell the truth to your family?"
Nian Shilan was silent for a long time, so long that when Songzhi thought she would not answer, Nian Shilan spoke.
Nian Shilan: "I don't know what to do. If I tell my father, they probably won't believe me. But if they believe me and turn to support the Eighth Prince, I don't know whether it's good or bad."
Nian Shilan was very conflicted. She had experienced a lot of things after she committed suicide in her previous life. She knew that the emperor was a good emperor who worked hard and loved his people, and she could not grasp the tension among them.
Although she was a woman, she knew the importance of a good emperor to the people. She didn't dare to think whether she would become a sinner if she changed all this.
Now that she has a chance to start over again, all she wants to do is to protect her family. As someone who has died once, she has come to terms with many things. She also knows that she has done many things that she shouldn't have done. Now that everything has not yet begun, she hopes that she can change everything.
If she could start over again, the person she wanted to protect the most besides her family was Songzhi. Now Songzhi had become a young lady of the Nian family and no longer had to be a servile slave. This was the best way out she could think of.
Nian Shilan told Songzhi all the confusion in her heart. Apart from Songzhi, she didn't know who she should trust.
Suddenly she found herself back in her childhood. In addition to being grateful, she was also terrified. She was afraid that she had no way to change her destiny.
Songzhi: "Don't be afraid, little sister. I will always protect you."
Songzhi hugged Nian Shilan with heartache. They were still children now, and there were still more than ten years before the planned plot, so there was still a chance for everything.
Songzhi became the adopted daughter of the Nian family. Her food, clothing and other expenses were the same as Nian Shilan's. What good was there in it? If she was the only one of hers, Nian Shilan would have wanted to give her everything.
In addition to learning music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, martial arts, riding and archery, and pharmacology, they also followed along.
In her previous life, Nian Shilan's biggest headache was playing the musical instrument, chess, calligraphy and painting. Songzhi, who followed her, was influenced by her and was not proficient in these four arts.
Now if I had the chance to do it all over again, I would study hard no matter what. I don't seek mastery, but only to improve my character.
Songzhi is not the real Songzhi. Playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are easy for her, but she finds that they are really painful for Nian Shilan.
Fortunately, Nian Shilan is the daughter of the Nian family. It doesn't matter if she is not proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although she is not good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, in terms of martial arts, riding and archery, Nian Shilan is like Mulan and Mu Guiying, and is not inferior to the men of the Nian family at all.
While training with the men of the Nian family, Nian Shilan never complained. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, even Nian Gengyao would not have believed that his delicate sister could be so perseverant.
Nian Gengyao was very happy. Although he felt that it didn't matter if Nian Shilan didn't learn anything, as long as he was there, no one could bully his sister, but he was also really happy to see that Nian Shilan was so talented.
Songzhi trained with Nian Shilan. Although it was called training, she was actually practicing martial arts. It was not difficult for her to master martial arts, riding and archery.
As for pharmacology, it all depends on talent. Nian Shilan also studies very hard, but her progress is very slow. But it doesn't matter. Songzhi is good at learning anyway, and they will be together in the future, so she won't let anything happen to Nian Shilan.
As the days passed, Nian Shilan's mentality became more and more peaceful. She was better at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting than in her previous life, but not proficient in them. Her knowledge of pharmacology was also vague, but she was good at martial arts, riding and shooting.
Now, what Nian Shilan wants to do most is to follow her brother to the battlefield. Things related to the inner house are completely out of her eyes.
Nian Shilan went to the military camp with Nian Gengyao. By the time her family realized she was gone, she had already walked a long way away, and Songzhi was also left behind by Nian Shilan.
In Nian Shilan's words, swords and spears are merciless on the battlefield, and it would not be safe for Songzhi to go there. Besides, as the daughter of the Nian family, having a rebellious girl like her is enough, there is no need to bring Songzhi along.
Songzhi knew that Nian Shilan was brave, but she didn't expect her to be so brave that she actually followed Nian Gengyao to the military camp. No wonder Nian Shilan was so interested in her pills. It turned out that she had already decided to go to the military camp with Nian Gengyao, so she was so concerned about her research.
Songzhi is very interested in pharmacology, especially she has the skills to raise Gu, so the small pills she studies are very strange and interesting.
Among them, there is a small pill that can cause women to go through menopause without damaging their bodies. Only by taking the antidote can their physiology return to normal.
She thought, maybe Nian Shilan was so bold because she was attracted by this little pill.
After all, as long as she no longer has the trouble of menstruation and pays more attention to it in her daily life, no one will be able to see through her disguise, and she can serve as a soldier in the barracks well.
Songzhi had never been on guard against Nian Shilan, otherwise she wouldn't have been so easily tricked by Nian Shilan. By the time she recovered, everything was already a foregone conclusion.
The entire Nian family was in chaos, but no one dared to make a fuss about Nian Shilan going to the military camp. They just hoped that Nian Gengyao could find Nian Shilan and send her back.
Nian Gengyao did discover Nian Shilan and was thinking about sending her back to the Nian family, but he was still a crazy man who doted on his sister. He failed to convince Nian Shilan not to speak, but was convinced by Nian Shilan instead.
In order to better protect his sister Nian Shilan, Nian Gengyao promoted her to be a personal servant.
Nian Shilan stayed in Nian Gengyao's tent and finally managed to stay in the military camp. However, in order to reassure the Nian family, Nian Gengyao still sent a letter to the Nian family.
When the Nian family received Nian Gengyao's letter, they scolded him harshly, calling him a jerk. On the battlefield, swords have no mercy. What if something happens to Shilan?
Nian Shilan's matter was finally settled. Songzhi was originally her twin sister who grew up together, but now she is the only adopted daughter left in the Nian family to take care of their filial piety.
The Nian family did not treat Songzhi badly just because Nian Shilan was not at the Nian family. On the contrary, they treated her better because Nian Shilan was not there. Songzhi also knew that this was just transference of feelings.
Since Nian Shilan was not at the Nian residence, the task of filial piety fell on Songzhi. Songzhi did her best to be filial to Nian Shilan and did everything a daughter should and could do. No one in the Nian family could find fault with Songzhi.
People are all made of flesh and blood. Songzhi was so sincere in return, and the whole Nian family loved her even more.
Clothes, jewelry, farms and shops, everything that Nian Shilan should have, Songzhi also has it.
Songzhi made some money from her shop, and most of it was sent to the military camp as supplies. The seeds she planted on her farm were all improved seeds, and except for the expenses for the Nian Mansion, she also sent all of them to the military camp as supplies.
The Nian family knew what Songzhi was doing. Seeing her talent in business, they gave her many businesses to manage.
Songzhi was not in a hurry. She had a cheat anyway, so doing business and farming were no problem for her.
Songzhi is also knowledgeable in medicine, and her medicine bag benefits the entire Nian family.
Not only that, Songzhi also made money by sending medicinal herbs and other things to the military camp. All of this was seen not only by the Nian family, but also by Emperor Kangxi.
So an imperial decree granting marriage was sent directly to Songzhi. Songzhi was only fourteen years old that year, but Emperor Kangxi wanted her to become Prince Yong's concubine.
Nian Shilan was seventeen years old when she entered Prince Yong's Palace. At that time, Queen Chunyuan had been dead for many years.
But now she is only fourteen years old. Even if compared with Nian Shilan's age, she should not enter the palace at this time.
Besides, what exactly did Emperor Kangxi want to do? She was just an adopted daughter of the Nian family. Giving her, an adopted daughter, to Prince Yong as a concubine was a humiliation to him, or was he taking a fancy to him?
Emperor Kangxi naturally gave Songzhi in marriage to Yongzheng because he took a liking to her. After all, the Nian family was a wealthy family with both literary and martial talents. With the help of the Nian family, Yongzheng's strength naturally increased.
Moreover, Emperor Kangxi also appreciated Songzhi's ability to make money. With such a concubine who could make money, Yongzheng's path would only be smoother.
If you want to know why Emperor Kangxi was so fond of Yongzheng, you can only blame the reminder from his ancestors when he woke up in the middle of the night.
Although it is said that a son should not talk about ghosts and monsters, he could not help but believe in his ancestors' dreams. Besides, Prince Yong was the most capable among his brothers. As long as he took the throne, the lives of his sons could be saved. If it were other sons, the situation might not be certain.
His Baocheng was spoiled by him. If he wasn't so serious... he would have wanted to make him the crown prince again.
However, the past cannot be retrieved and everything is a foregone conclusion. The fourth brother has had a good relationship with Baocheng since childhood. Even if he becomes emperor, he will treat Baocheng and his children and grandchildren well. Only in this way can he close his eyes in peace.
Only Emperor Kangxi himself knew the twists and turns in his mind, but Songzhi was not aware of it now.
Nian Shilan also heard about the imperial decree granting marriage. She had not expected that things would change so much after she came to the military camp in this life. It was completely different from what she had expected.
In her imagination, Songzhi would be alone with him for the rest of his life, instead of entering the palace and becoming a concubine.
Nian Shilan felt very guilty, she thought it was because of her that everything changed.
Songzhi was more confused about the arranged marriage. She didn't have any extra reaction. Besides, her name was clearly written on the imperial edict, so she couldn't deny it even if she wanted to.
Besides, she didn't want to blame others. If Nian Shilan hadn't joined the army, she wouldn't have thought of entering the palace and having anything to do with the future Emperor Yongzheng. But now that Nian Shilan had entered the barracks, she even got involved in the fighting, and it was obvious that she wanted to make achievements.
It's fine if you keep it a secret, but it's a serious crime if you can't.
She must have enough power and bargaining chips. Moreover, although Nian Shilan no longer wants to have anything to do with her previous life after her rebirth, as Songzhi, since she is going to enter the palace, it is impossible for her not to avenge Nian Shilan, otherwise she is afraid that she will not get the 5000 merits.
Songzhi is now going to become the prince's concubine, and the Nian family is extremely reluctant to let her go. It's not that they don't have a good impression of Prince Yong, but they feel sorry for Songzhi who has to enter the prince's mansion and live among the intrigues at such a young age.
Songzhi was favored by Emperor Kangxi, who personally granted her marriage. Even though she was young, everyone in the palace dared not ignore her.
Yinzhen even married her personally, giving Songzhi enough respect.
Yinzhen is now thirty-five years old, at the most charming time of his life. Songzhi finds this acceptable.
Besides, in addition to the additional tasks, she also has tasks that she has to complete. Anyway, they all need to be completed, so it's okay to have the emperor as a tool.
Yinzhen didn't know much about Songzhi, but he knew a lot too.
He knew that Songzhi was the adopted daughter of the Nian family. She was originally a servant of the Nian family, but somehow she won the favor of the master and was taken in as an adopted daughter. She was included in the Nian family tree and became a proper lady of the Nian family.
Knowing that Songzhi has a great talent for business, she has multiplied the Nian family's assets several times at a young age. Not only that, she also pays close attention to military affairs and donates military supplies and food to the military camp every year.
I also know that she is an excellent doctor and has developed many small pills that are very helpful for injuries and illnesses. She also owns many medical clinics and has accepted many apprentices.
Knowing that Songzhi is a kind-hearted person, she did not keep the money for herself after making it, but actively opened a charity. The rent of the farm under her name was the lowest.
She also opened a number of charitable academies specifically for boys and girls who could not afford to go to school. She taught them loyalty to the emperor and patriotism and taught them survival skills. The shops under her name also provided jobs for these boys and girls.
When Yinzhen thought about it carefully, he knew a lot about Songzhi, but this was only about her career. He didn't know much about the rest. He even felt that Emperor Kangxi issued the imperial decree of marriage too hastily. Songzhi was still so young, how could she become his concubine?
However, he was still happy that he could marry a concubine like Songzhi. After all, who doesn't want to have an excellent partner?
This feeling continued until it reached its peak when Yinzhen lifted the veil and saw Songzhi's appearance.
Yinzhen looked at the beautiful face under the veil and his breathing stopped for a moment, his heart beating like a drum.
He originally thought that Rouze was a rare beauty in the world, and no one else could compare to her. But after seeing Songzhi, he truly realized what it meant to be unique in the world, what it meant to be stunningly beautiful, and what it meant to be an immortal beauty.
Songzhi was very aware of her appearance. In her opinion, Yinzhen's love at first sight for Rouze was nothing more than lust for her beauty. If Rouze did not have a pretty face, she would not be able to display her talents no matter how many they were.
Now that she has entered the palace, she naturally cannot let anyone outdo her in appearance. Even if a substitute for Chun Yuan, Wanwan Leiqing, appears in the future, she must be the one whose appearance overwhelms everyone else.
If you use your beauty to seduce a man, there will come a day when your beauty fades and your love disappears. But she is not a normal human being. As a rabbit spirit with many supernatural powers, she will not give the emperor a chance to lose her beauty and love.
The exclusive favor that Rouze can have, she will only have more.
Yinzhen and Songzhi drank the wedding wine with full thoughts. Yinzhen was thinking about Songzhi's young age, but in fact it didn't delay it at all.
He has all the bad qualities that men have. Not only that, he also has the power that can be magnified infinitely. He is the prince, and he is the sky of the entire palace.
Songzhi had thought about this day since she got married. Moreover, she had long anticipated that Yinzhen would not be able to resist taking action after seeing her appearance. After all, he was not really indifferent.
However, Songzhi was also salivating over the dragon energy in his body. No matter how she thought about it, it was not a loss. Her cultivation had been going in circles, and it was time for a breakthrough.
The future emperor will be a tool, so why would he need a bicycle?
Songzhi's exclusive favor made the entire palace's harem restless. Yinzhen was not a man who indulged in beauty, so most of the people in his harem were given by the emperor and Concubine De. There were only two or three such girls in total, and the time for sleeping with them was also very fixed.
Yinzhen spent more than twenty days a month handling official business in the front yard, and the remaining less than ten days were allocated to the women in the back house. It was common for some women who were not favored to not see Yinzhen for a month or two.
Before Songzhi came, those in the harem didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But now Songzhi has become a concubine, and she is also from the Nian family. Although she is only an adopted daughter, she is listed in the family tree, which means she is a legitimate official lady. Now she has the highest status in the entire palace, and she had the most generous dowry when she married in. Ulanara Yixiu's face was slapped loudly.
Songzhi's courtyard was also the best. Because she said she loved quietness, Yinzhen gave her the best courtyard, and also the area around the courtyard was put in her name, and was tidied up very well.
Although they are all women in the royal palace, Ke Songzhi seems to live alone.
Nowadays, Yixiu is on par with the imperial palace in everything, so it is difficult to set rules for the harem. They are only allowed to pay their respects on the first and fifteenth day of each month, and Songzhi is happy and at ease.
Songzhi had just arrived at the palace and was unfamiliar with many things. Although she was favored, she was still not as good as Concubine Yixiu. So when bad things sneaked into her yard, she did not deal with them or make them public. Instead, she kept them and waited to put them in front of Yinzhen when he came to her yard.
Song Zhi: "Your Majesty, I just want to ask one question, are these methods privately advocated by the villain, or are they instructed by Your Majesty? If Your Majesty does not want me to be pregnant, you can just tell me clearly and give me the contraceptive soup. I promise that I will not have a single complaint."
After Rouze's death, Yinzhen's heart seemed to have died with her. He no longer cared about the women in the harem. He thought that this would be the end of his life, but he didn't expect to meet Songzhi.
She was the concubine arranged by the emperor. He had originally thought that they should treat each other with respect and marry her to the palace to be worshipped as a Bodhisattva. However, he did not expect that when he saw Songzhi, his heart, which had been dead for many years because of Rouze, came back to life again.
Now that he has Songzhi, he feels like he is living like a real person, not just a fake person who only knows how to handle official business. Naturally, he loves her as if she were the apple of his eye.
Now hearing Songzhi say this and seeing what Songzhi had displayed, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
Although they have not yet reached the point of mutual understanding, he knows exactly how he feels about Songzhi. Can't Songzhi feel it?
Why say such words to hurt his heart?
Songzhi didn't care what Yinzhen was thinking, she did it on purpose. Why should it be her woman's tricks? As a result, the root of Yinzhen's problem was hidden. Why should she fight with those women in the harem?
Come on, let's be frank with you now. You, Yinzhen, have feelings for me. If you do, let's see how much you can do for me.
Should we keep the peace or handle the matter impartially?
Is your love worth responding to?
Don't say you like me but then let others take advantage of me.
Songzhi looked at Yinzhen with tears in her eyelashes. It is always heartbreaking to see a beautiful woman shedding tears.
Yinzhen's heart was broken, and he immediately promised Songzhi that he would definitely give her a perfect explanation!
Songzhi didn't believe Yinzhen's promise, so she didn't say anything good or bad. Her meaning was very clear. Before she saw Yinzhen's sincerity, she would no longer pay attention to Yinzhen.
Yinzhen was driven out of Songzhi's yard.
When the women in the harem heard the news, they were very curious. They knew Songzhi was bold, but they didn't expect her to be so arrogant. Did she think that she was the daughter of the Nian family and that she could be disrespectful to the prince because the emperor had granted her marriage?
They thought Songzhi was so powerful, but the result was the same. They both became so arrogant after being favored for two days!
They all prayed to gods and hoped that Songzhi would suffer misfortune and fall out of favor.
The result was naturally that they miscalculated. Songzhi did not fall out of favor. Instead, Yinzhen's rewards flowed into Songzhi's yard like water. Every day after leaving the court, Yinzhen would go to Songzhi's yard without fail. Even if he could not stay overnight, he would still stay there until very late before leaving.
But after three days, Songzhi felt sorry for him and let him stay in the yard, but she slept in her own bedroom and Yinzhen slept in the side room.
Although she let him stay overnight, it didn't mean that she forgave Yinzhen and let the matter go.
Songzhi could naturally keep Yinzhen out all the time, but why? The dragon energy in Yinzhen is what she needs the most. Besides, too much is as bad as too little. She is now a concubine, Yinzhen's woman. Even if she is the queen, she should know what to do.
Now she is not alone, the lives of the entire Nian family depend on her. If she makes a mistake in the palace, the entire Nian family will suffer.
Pushing it away for three days was because her daughter was in a bad mood. If she kept pushing it away, it would seem that she was unkind and had no sympathy for others.
No matter how much Yinzhen likes her, he doesn't have to have her. He should know his limits when dealing with her.
Seeing this, Yinzhen was extremely happy. He knew that Songzhi was worried about him. He originally thought that this would be a protracted battle, but he didn't expect that he was just pretending to be pitiful, so Songzhi kept him in the yard.
If I can stay overnight today, I can go to bed with you tomorrow!
Husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. Besides, there is a villain causing trouble between them, and the problem is not between the two of them.
As long as he finds out what the problem is, Songzhi will definitely forgive him.
Yinzhen was anxious as he thought about this. He didn't know how the investigation at the Sticking Rod Office was going. It had been three days already, and they should have found out something.
The sticking rod department naturally found something, they just didn't expect it to be like this.
Yinzhen did not expect the result to be like this. He always thought that these methods were used by his opponents, and their purpose was to split the relationship between him and the Nian family.
But I didn't expect that after investigating, I found out that all these methods were done by Yixiu!
How could Yixiu be so vicious as Rouze's sister!
He promised Rouze that he would treat Yixiu well, but how did Yixiu repay him?
He actually plotted against his beloved!
Yinzhen was very angry. He took what the Sticking Rod Office had found and didn't believe that Yixiu had only used those tricks on Songzhi, so he asked the Sticking Rod Office to continue investigating.
He wanted to see how many surprises his wife had that he didn't know about.
Because of Rouze, he trusted Yixiu too much. Besides, Yixiu disguised herself very well in front of him. She was virtuous and kind. Even her reputation for virtue was spread in the palace. Compared with the harems of other brothers, his palace was really peaceful and harmonious.
Yinzhen felt that he was like a clown, actually sleeping in the same bed with a painted-skin ghost like Yixiu.
He thought of those in the harem who had lost favor because of miscarriage, and also of those who were favored but could not get pregnant. All of this was probably the work of Yixiu. She was such a good wife.
Yinzhen even blamed Yixiu for the Third Prince's stupidity, wondering if she had used some means to harm his child.
The emperor did not go into the backyard. He didn't know how to face Songzhi, but he couldn't fall asleep while resting in the front yard.
After suddenly knowing the true identity of the person next to him, he really didn't know how to sleep.
Since Yinzhen didn't come, Songzhi knew that he must have found out the truth, but she didn't know who Yinzhen would choose between her and Yixiu, or between her and Rouze.
As Yinzhen's white moonlight, Rouze is very important. As Rouze's sister, Yixiu has benefited a lot from Rouze. Yinzhen always looks at Yixiu through a filter.
He thought Rouze was virtuous and kind, and he thought Yixiu, as Rouze's sister, was the same. He never suspected Yixiu of being responsible for the tragedies that happened to the women in the harem over the years. He even thought Yixiu was a very virtuous person.
Songzhi felt that Yinzhen's brain might have been soaked in amniotic fluid for a long time, otherwise how could he have such thoughts.
He is the king of the palace and a scarce resource that the women in the harem fight for. Why does he think that the women in the harem are all tolerant and generous and don't care how many women he has?
There are only so many resources. If you and I don't grab them, she will.
Besides, who doesn't want to have all the benefits to themselves?
Yinzhen had promised Rouze that he would take good care of her sister Yixiu. Now that Yinzhen has discovered Yixiu's true face, she wants to know whether Yinzhen will keep his promise and keep Yixiu and keep the situation peaceful.
If Yinzhen did this, she would have to consider killing her husband to prove her faith.
Yinzhen finally fell asleep but was awakened by heart palpitations. He didn't know why he felt this way, but he couldn't fall asleep again.
The Sticking Rod Department is very capable. They really investigate Yixiu, not leaving out even the slightest detail, so naturally they find out everything Yixiu has done.
Among them, Songzhi is a person of hidden merit and fame, Yixiu's methods are helped by the palace fighting champion Uya Chengbi, and although the sticking point is powerful, it will be discovered by Defei most of the time.
But it doesn't matter. With her as a plug-in, it is still difficult for Wuya Chengbi to know everything that happened in the palace.
Yinzhen thought that Yixiu was a double-faced person, but he didn't expect that she could be so vicious as to attack her own sister.
The Sticking Rod Department investigated Yixiu and also investigated Rouze. This investigation was a serious matter. They felt that if they were not careful about what they found, they would be punished by their master.
However, they gritted their teeth and made up their minds to send everything they found to Yinzhen.
Then he knew Rouze's true face. The white moonlight that he had always kept in his heart was not as bright as he remembered.
He always thought that Honghui's death was an accident, but he didn't expect that Rouze was also involved.
If Yixiu knew about Rouze's plan, it would be understandable that she retaliated.
Yinzhen could not accept the fact that being gentle would lead to being dirty. He felt that his sincerity over the years was all a joke.
Rouze and Yixiu are really two vicious sisters.
He always thought that his meeting with Rouze was a destiny destined by God, but what if all this was man-made?
Was what he thought was a mutual understanding just a disguise by Rouze?
He admitted that his union with Rouze hurt Yixiu, but as a prince, didn't he have the right to choose the person he loved?
Besides, he could not give Yixiu love but gave her power, otherwise he would not have allowed her to harm his offspring for so long.
And there is Rouze. She is really willing to sacrifice for the glory of the Ulanala family. Honghui is also her nephew. Can't she be more soft-hearted?
Is it not enough to have the title of legitimate son? Do you have to kill them all?
Does Rouze really love him?
If you loved him, why would you use strong and dangerous drugs to conceive a child even though you knew that it would be difficult to get pregnant if you took Xiji Pills?
Knowing that a child conceived with the tiger and wolf drugs would not be able to grow up safely, he still plotted against his healthy eldest son Honghui?
Was he blinded by greed at the beginning?
Why would he hold a woman like Rouze in his hands?
Disgusting, so disgusting.
Yinzhen vomited violently and looked listless, but he was not slow in his actions.
He knew that Yixiu understood pharmacology, so this time he chose another method to make Yixiu sick and die suddenly.
Yixiu was well versed in pharmacology, but her methods were still far from those of a true medical expert. Yinzhen was determined to take her life and would not let her struggle.
Songzhi was very satisfied with Yinzhen's actions and choices. It seemed that the image of Rouze as the white moonlight in Yinzhen's heart was completely shattered.
This is good. She doesn't like white moonlight or dark moonlight. Now that Yinzhen is in her hands, it is better for her not to think about others.
She doesn't like being compared to others all the time.
Yixiu was not aware of Yinzhen's various plots against her, but she was indeed very ill in recent days. She had a splitting headache and felt drowsy every day, and she even skipped the original schedule of paying her respects to the emperor on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.
All the affairs of the palace's rear house were handed over to other people. Originally, Yinzhen wanted to hand over all these matters to Songzhi, but Songzhi disagreed.
She told Yinzhen the truth that she already had enough things to deal with and it was not appropriate for her to get involved in the palace's internal affairs.
Moreover, she was not the only concubine in the palace. If Yinzhen was worried, he could send someone to assist her. Anyway, she would not take care of everything at home and outside.
As for the affairs of the palace, she didn't care at all and let other people in the backyard fight for it. They didn't have as much wealth as her, and if they did their job well, they might get some benefits.
Yinzhen knew that Songzhi had many properties, but he didn't expect so many. After seeing Songzhi's ability to make money, Yinzhen also admired her very much.
He also has businesses and manages them very well, but he is far inferior to Songzhi.
Songzhi did not hide her secrets and directly shared her money-making secrets with Yinzhen.
No one dislikes having too much money, and Yinzhen is the same. What's more, the people he supports all need money to support them, so he will not dislike having too much money.
Yinzhen and Songzhi reconciled. When the Queen became ill, Songzhi knew Yinzhen's choice and naturally would not continue to treat him coldly.
The emperor now treats Songzhi as the apple of his eye. Looking at the entire harem, only Songzhi's hands are clean. The Rou he once thought of is not even a bit like Songzhi.
After a thorough investigation, he found that none of the women in the back house were truly clean. He was really tired.
Yinzhen also knew what it was like when women fought with each other, but he did not expect that the harem, which seemed relatively quiet and harmonious, actually contained so many underworld activities.
Those women who were bright, quiet, or gentle in front of him, all had a second face where he couldn't see, and he, the prince, was nothing in their eyes.
They say sweet words, but they have endless schemes and intrigues in their hearts.
Yinzhen began to keep his distance from the women in the backyard, except Songzhi, because Songzhi was the only one in the entire backyard who remained the same as always.
He didn't know whether Songzhi was so clean because she had just entered the palace and had not been contaminated by the underworld in the backyard, or whether it was Songzhi's nature, but he was willing to protect this piece of pure land of Songzhi.
Songzhi was already favored, and now she is even more popular.
Yixiu's illness was getting worse. She was only awake for half an hour every day and was drowsy most of the time. She realized that she didn't have much time left. She thought about asking for help, but now the entire backyard was under Yinzhen's nose, so no matter how she asked for help, she couldn't send it out.
Yixiu couldn't figure out where she had gone wrong. She had been working diligently and cautiously for so many years, and had made every possible effort. She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she had done.
However, her body collapsed like this. Now she only hopes that her aunt can save her for the honor of the Ulanala family, otherwise she will really die.
Yinzhen is now at a critical moment, and logically he should not kill his wife, but he really doesn't want Yixiu, this poisonous snake, to stay in the palace any longer.
Besides, he already has a real candidate for his wife in his mind. If Yixiu is gone, Songzhi will be the only choice for his wife.
Only Yinzhen knew what was in his mind, but Songzhi could vaguely guess it.
After all, even if Yixiu occupied the position of concubine, she could not give much help to Yinzhen. On the contrary, it was the Ulanara family that hindered Yinzhen a lot. Now that he knew Yixiu's true identity, Yinzhen would never let her live.
In comparison, the only one who could bring him huge benefits was Song Zhi.
Songzhi doesn't care whether she becomes a concubine or not. If she can become a concubine, it would be great, but if she can't, she is not worried.
Now that Nian Shilan has established herself in the military camp and has trained with Nian Gengyao many times, she can easily kill enemies on the battlefield. It is possible that the Nian family will have another female general.
But they are afraid that they can't become generals, so they can only talk about it to satisfy their own desire.
However, being able to leave the harem was the best day for Nian Shilan, otherwise she would not have followed Nian Gengyao to the military camp.
Songzhi still invested most of the money she earned into the military camp, otherwise she was afraid that Nian Shilan would not have enough food and warm clothes.
Emperor Kangxi always implemented benevolent policies and didn't care how hateful those corrupt officials were. Even if the officialdom was supposed to be pure water without fish, it shouldn't be so turbid.
She didn't know how much fatherly love Emperor Kangxi had for Yinzhen, but she knew very well how much he had betrayed his son. If he had not indulged these corrupt officials, the Qing Dynasty would not have been left to Yinzhen as an empty shell.
In order to fill the empty treasury, Yinzhen, a good emperor, became the emperor who confiscated property. He worked diligently all his life, but when the Qing Dynasty was passed on to the next generation, Hongli's style was exactly the same as that of Emperor Kangxi.
Both grandfather and grandson were trying to trick Yinzhen.
