Putting aside these things in the harem, Songzhi could not find any major faults with Yinzhen when it came to being emperor. After all, compared with Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong, Yinzhen was truly diligent in his work.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a full treasury, and people wouldn't say that he died of exhaustion.
She was not sure how Yinzhen died, but there was no doubt that Yinzhen was a workaholic.
Songzhi admired this about him very much. A man who liked to work could save a lot of time for them to spend together. After all, she had a lot of things to do of her own. Besides, her son would be the emperor in the future. If Yinzhen worked harder, it would only benefit her son.
Yixiu was unwilling, but she died in the end. Just as Yinzhen expected, after Yixiu's death, Emperor Kangxi made Songzhi his wife.
After Songzhi became the concubine, the rules for paying respects remained the same. She was still in charge of the general direction of the affairs in the palace and the other matters were left to the remaining women, who were idle anyway.
In general, Songzhi was very satisfied with her current life. Time passed quickly, and soon the appointed time came. Yinzhen became the emperor among his brothers.
The Empress Dowager was so crazy that she said without hesitation that it was not her wish for Yinzhen to be the emperor.
She wanted to knock the empress dowager's head open to take a good look at what was going on in her mind. Fortunately, Yinzhen was broad-minded, otherwise she would have been pissed to death by the empress dowager. Even so, Yinzhen's face looked very unhappy.
Today, Songzhi has become the Empress Dowager. Before Yinzhen ascended the throne, Songzhi gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. Now they are three years old, and Emperor Kangxi saw the twins.
Yinzhen also doted on these two children and wished they could grow on his body every day.
Now that Yinzhen was in a bad mood, only the children's words and innocent words could soothe him.
The Empress Dowager competed with Yinzhen, and as a result, she refused to live in the Cining Palace and insisted on living in Shoukang Palace. Yinzhen had no temper at all with his own mother. He said, "As long as you are happy, I will continue my life as usual."
I don't know if it's because she took the position of Concubine Yixiu and later became the Empress of the Central Palace, the Queen Mother always disliked her, and even the twins she gave birth to were not liked by her. It must be that Songzhi is generous, otherwise she might not be happy every day.
The Empress Dowager was dedicated to making things difficult for Songzhi. Knowing that Yinzhen favored her alone, she was unwilling to wait even a moment longer to arrange a beauty contest for the Emperor.
Songzhi had no objection to the selection. She was very curious whether the current emperor would still have any feelings for Zhen Huan when he saw her again.
As a result, Yinzhen directly rejected the Empress' proposal to hold a beauty contest. The reasons were ready-made: he had to observe mourning for Emperor Kangxi, and it was not in accordance with the rules to hold a beauty contest less than a year later.
However, the Empress Dowager said that the Emperor did not have many children and that he should have more children for the royal family.
Ever since the Emperor found out that the Empress Dowager helped Rouze and Yixiu plot against him, he no longer had any extra thoughts about his mother. In addition, the rumors she spread when he ascended the throne also made the Emperor's feelings for her fade.
It is very understandable that her request to participate in the draft was rejected now.
When the Queen Mother failed to convince the Emperor, she put pressure on Songzhi. Songzhi was not the kind of person who would spoil her children. The Queen Mother fell into a coma and was fine, but it was impossible for her to take care of everything. The Emperor thought it was because the Queen Mother was old and weak.
The emperor was unwilling to hold a beauty contest, and Songzhi was not someone who was looking for trouble. She would be crazy to spend money to get herself a bunch of chirping beauties. The emperor was the one enjoying the beauty, while she was the one suffering. Why?
Songzhi was in a bad mood, so she exposed all the dirty work of the Imperial Household Department, which included many people from the Uya family and the Ulanara family. They were all as black as crows, and now they were causing headaches for the emperor.
Because the Nian family had a queen, their status also rose rapidly. Not only were they given a higher rank, but they were also made dukes. This was all the respect the emperor gave to the Nian family.
Moreover, because of the relationship between Songzhi and Nian Shilan over the years, Nian Gengyao has really been a well-behaved person. After all, he now has Songzhi's filial piety and is not short of money. Coupled with Nian Shilan's constant advice, he and the emperor have a very harmonious relationship between monarch and minister.
The most important thing is that Nian Shilan still has no plans to get married and have children. She insists on staying with him in the military camp. For the sake of Nian Shilan's life, Nian Gengyao dare not do anything naughty.
Songzhi is still very satisfied with her current life. It won't be long before the Empress Dowager will be able to see the late Emperor in her sleep. By that time, the Emperor will still have to wait for three years. She doesn't believe that those ministers will still be able to concentrate on letting the Emperor select beauties.
In fact, if the talent show could make money, she would consider it. For example, Chang Zai promised to give 500 taels for one and 300 taels for the other.
A good noble lady is given one thousand taels, a concubine is given fifty thousand taels, a noble concubine is given two hundred thousand taels, and the queen...well, the queen is not eligible, she is the queen now.
If this is really possible, she would be willing to participate in the draft. For example, the draft quota can also be used to make a difference. If this is possible, it would be a lot of money.
Not only the emperor's harem can do this, but those royal relatives can also do business this way. It's a pity that all this is just her idea and it is impossible to achieve.
Thinking about the money she got for free, Songzhi sighed.
The Emperor had no idea what Songzhi was thinking. He was very satisfied with the current state of the harem. His life was harmonious and happy, and the sons and daughters born to him by the Queen were adorable. He didn't want to spend money on any beauty pageant, and he was still in mourning. He really didn't know what trouble the Queen Mother was causing him.
In this way, the emperor mourned for the late emperor for three years, and the empress dowager, who was bedridden, was taken away by the late emperor, and the emperor also used the excuse of mourning for three years.
At the same time, in order to save expenses in the palace, many older palace maids and eunuchs were sent out of the palace.
After the emperor's reorganization, everyone in the Internal Affairs Department became very well-behaved. It was a pity that Zhen Huan was not able to enter the palace. However, she got what she wanted and later became a couple with Prince Guo.
It was Prince Guo who asked for the marriage himself. No one knew how these two people who had nothing in common met each other, but the emperor was very happy to grant the marriage. He was also very good to his brothers. None of them stayed at home to rest. All of them were assigned official duties. In Songzhi's words, it would be a waste if one did not use his talents to be treated like a slave.
The emperor listened to the advice and made use of his capable brothers one by one. The Qing Dynasty left to Songzhi's son was even more prosperous than when Hongli took over.
The emperor was not greedy for power and was not addicted to elixirs. He stayed with Songzhi until he died at the age of 78. The two lived a harmonious life.
After Songzhi sent Nian Shilan away, she also left the small world.
[Rabbit Spirit, you are now in the world of the TV series Legend of Zhen Huan. You are a palace maid named Fuling, and you are eighteen years old.]
[Your life is four years. If you cannot conceive after four 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 Shen Meizhuang, Concubine Shen's merit is 5000]
[The gold finger has been issued, I hope the host will continue to work hard and create brilliance! ]
There are many palace maids in the Forbidden City, and maids like Fuling who have no proper masters are treated the worst. She was selected into the palace at the age of fourteen, and has been working as a maid sweeping the imperial garden for four years.
Exhaling a breath of white air, Fuling did her job obediently. The most feared thing in the palace was making a mistake. What she wanted most now was to survive seven years. When she turned twenty-five, she could leave the palace.
Being an ordinary palace maid like her is not without advantages. As long as she can live safely past the age of 25 and not offend anyone, she can naturally leave the palace smoothly when she reaches the age.
It is not so easy for other palace maids who are popular in front of their masters to leave the palace when they reach the age. After all, they have gained popularity, served their masters a lot, and know a lot about their masters' secrets. Even if they reach the age, their masters will not let them leave the palace at ease. The longest they will do is to keep them by their side and serve them for the rest of their lives.
She didn't want to stay in the palace all her life. She didn't want to stay in the palace at all. As long as she reached the age, she would leave the palace no matter what.
Fuling's idea was good, but things changed too quickly. After the selection, a new lady entered the palace, and she went from being a maid sweeping the imperial garden to a maid serving Concubine Shen.
Fuling was unwilling. Whenever she thought about following a young master, she trembled with fear. There was always a voice in her heart telling her that if she became a servant of a young master, her life would be in danger.
Fuling was so scared that she caught a severe cold and had a horrible dream. She dreamed that she became a minion of Concubine Hua and framed Lady Shen Meiyu. After the truth was revealed, she was beaten to death by the Emperor.
She was beaten to death. She died in pain.
She didn't want to serve the young lady, she wanted to leave the palace safely, she wanted to go back to her parents, she had brothers and sisters, she had so many relatives, how could she be beaten to death? !
Fuling was frightened to death. It was at that time that the rabbit spirit entered her body and turned into Fuling. Now Miss Shen Meizhuang had not entered the palace yet, and the palace maids were assigned to various palaces first. Because she was sick, she did not go to work.
But she had to get better quickly, otherwise she would have no chance of survival. If she was thrown aside and died of illness, it would be too unfair to her.
But Fuling is really kind. Even after his death, he still couldn't let go of Shen Meizhuang.
Shen Meizhuang is a ruthless person who would cuckold the emperor if she disagreed with him. Why would a little palace maid like her need to worry about her?
But since she wanted the merits left by Fuling, she would definitely protect Shen Meiyu. But there were ways to protect her, and she herself was facing a threat to her life now, so she had to complete the basic task as much as possible.
If this happens, the relationship between her and the emperor might become unclear again.
She became Shen Meizhuang's love rival, and then protected Shen Meizhuang?
No matter how I think about it, I feel like I'm sick, but there's nothing I can do, this is my mission.
It won't be long before the young lady enters the palace, and Fuling doesn't have much time left, so the first thing she did was to use the lottery.
According to her past experience, the reward for the first lottery must be soft jade and tender flowers. With the flower dew, her illness would be nothing.
But this time Fuling was wrong. The stingy system did not allow her to use her favorite soft and gentle skills, but instead set a quota on the space. Just when she thought she was lucky enough to get the space reward, she was stuck on the reward next to the space, which was a blind box.
It all depends on luck, and Fuling has no idea what will come out. She has always felt that lottery is very stingy. Now she has a deeper understanding of stinginess. She feels that she may not get anything, and even if she does get something, it probably won't be a pleasant skill.
As a result, after she opened the blind box, a golden light flashed. After the golden light ended, she found that everything had become different.
She had no idea where she was. Everything around her was golden. She had been in the palace for quite some time. If she thought carefully, she would know where she was at the moment. But how was it possible? She had only come to a blind box, so how did she end up in the emperor's bedroom?
The hair under Fuling stood up. Yes, she not only came to the emperor's bedroom, she even changed from a palace maid Fuling into a long-haired calico cat.
She, a living person, was instantly transformed into a jade-faced raccoon slave. Is this the reward she got after working so hard?
Fuling felt that God was going to kill her!
The most important thing is, now that she is a cat appearing on the emperor's dragon bed, will she really not be beaten to death?
She had heard that the emperor liked to go to the cat and dog room very much, but that didn't mean the emperor would be willing to have a cat on his dragon bed!
However, it must be said that this bed was worthy of being the emperor's dragon bed, it was big and comfortable. She was sick to begin with and was very sleepy. She began to step on her breasts without realizing it, and then she curled up and fell asleep while yawning.
She clearly wanted to leave the emperor's bedroom when no one was paying attention, but she ended up sleeping soundly.
It was already three o'clock in the morning when the emperor finished his official business and was preparing to rest when he found a jade-faced raccoon slave who should never appear on his dragon bed. Not only that, the raccoon slave was sleeping so soundly that he didn't notice anyone entering the room at all.
The palace servants who followed the emperor into the bedroom looked at the jade-faced cat slave sleeping soundly on the dragon bed. They knelt down with pale faces and wanted to shout to the emperor to spare their lives, but were silenced by the emperor.
The emperor waved his hand and asked them to get up and help him undress. Every movement was done gently, for fear of waking up the cat slave in the bed.
They didn't know where this ancestor in front of them came from, but they were thankful that the emperor didn't blame them.
Normally speaking, the emperor should be punished for such a mistake in his dragon bed, but now this cat slave looks so cute, so he doesn't blame the palace servants who serve him.
He was originally in a bad mood, but now seeing Li Nu sleeping soundly on his dragon bed, his tense mood was relaxed instead.
Fuling slept soundly the whole time and never thought that she could oversleep. When the emperor got on the dragon bed, she was still not awake.
The palace servant originally wanted to take Fuling away, but was stopped by the emperor.
The emperor's actions made all the palace people sweat. Su Peisheng even knelt on the ground. What if the cat slave who suddenly appeared on the emperor's dragon bed hurt the emperor's dragon body?
Besides, no one knows how this raccoon slave appeared. If it was prepared by forces that are hostile to the emperor, even if all nine clans of these people are buried with him, they will not be able to atone for their sins.
However, the emperor's words are as good as gold. Now the emperor just wants Li Nu to stay on his dragon bed. Whether there will be any danger is not within the emperor's consideration at all.
Besides, he was a person who liked cats and dogs. Although the sudden appearance of this raccoon slave on his dragon bed was very suspicious, it was really to his liking.
He is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Should he be restrained in his love for a cat slave?
Don't try to guess what the emperor is thinking. You will never figure it out. The palace servants left the emperor's bedroom crying. They all felt uncomfortable.
We beg all the gods and Buddhas to please not let that raccoon harm the emperor's dragon body, otherwise their lives will be in danger.
Fuling was sleeping soundly. She did not wake up even when the emperor slept beside her, and she still did not wake up even when her shiny hair was stroked. Not only did she not wake up, but she even stretched out from the curled up position very comfortably.
The emperor was really captivated by Fuling's adorable sleeping posture. He thought that this cat slave was quite obedient, but too careless and did not have the slightest vigilance that a cat slave should have.
It's possible that someone in the harem didn't keep the cat properly, allowing it to escape. Otherwise, there's no way to explain how a wild raccoon can be so clean, with its little paws so pink and tender and its body smelling so good.
The emperor couldn't help yawning as he sniffed the fragrance of the cat slave. He had been handling official business for the whole day and it was already three o'clock in the morning. He was indeed tired.
Normally he would always think about a lot of things while lying in bed, but now, stroking the cat's shiny and smooth fur, he fell asleep faster than usual.
The emperor slept peacefully with the cat slave.
The emperor had a rare good sleep, so when he woke up in the morning and looked at the cat slave sleeping in his arms, he was in an incomparably good mood.
Anyone who has a good night's sleep will feel happy, and the emperor is no exception.
Su Peisheng was worried the whole night, fearing that Li Nu would go crazy at night and harm the emperor's dragon body. It turned out that he was overthinking it. When Li Nu came to serve the emperor today, he was still sleeping soundly on the dragon bed, with no intention of waking up at all.
The emperor did not look tired at all, and his brows were filled with relaxation, and it was obvious that he had slept very well.
Su Peisheng thought about it and immediately realized that this cat slave would be held in the emperor's heart, so he thought of a whole series of things for the cat slave, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The emperor was just as Su Peisheng thought. Even when he got up, he moved very quietly. The palace servants who served him were also asked to do the same. Even when the palace servants wanted to make the dragon bed, the emperor refused, saying that they could make the bed when Li Nu woke up, to avoid waking Li Nu up while making the bed.
The emperor was the one who cared most about rules, but now a cat slave made him break the rules. Su Peisheng and the other servants were secretly shocked and silently increased the weight of the cat slave.
Now they are afraid that this raccoon will leave the emperor's bedroom again, otherwise they will be in big trouble.
Fuling had no idea what these palace servants were thinking. After she turned into a raccoon slave, it seemed that some mechanism was triggered. After a good night's sleep, her body, which had been feeling uncomfortable, felt much better.
When Fuling woke up with a pair of amber eyes and looked at the messy dragon bed, she felt sick.
what happened?
Why is the dragon bed messy?
Is she a cat or a pig? Why is she not awake even when someone comes back to sleep?
Did she slept with the emperor all night yesterday?
Will the emperor beat this little cat slave to death?
Fuling was panic-stricken and couldn't help wanting to meow, but she could only hold back and didn't dare to shout. She was afraid that if she shouted, others would hear her and it would be difficult for her to escape.
But even if she did not alarm anyone, she still could not leave this place. This was the emperor's territory. Even though she was careful, she was still discovered by the palace servants.
Fuling didn't want to be caught by the palace servants, so she ran desperately. She didn't know where to go. Anyway, she didn't want to be caught by the palace servants, so she ran around and finally ran in front of the emperor. She jumped lightly into the emperor's arms.
God is my witness, she originally wanted to leave the emperor's bedroom, and had no intention of having any interaction with the emperor at all, but her body seemed to have other ideas, and she ran to the emperor's side, and not only that, she jumped into the emperor's arms of her own accord.
The emperor was reading memorials, but was completely interrupted by her jumping into his arms. It was unknown whether the emperor would be angry with her.
As the saying goes, a man has to bow his head under the eaves. She is a kitten now. A few meows should make the emperor soften his heart, right?
Although I don't know what she looks like now, I think the system's products must be high-quality. Even if she becomes a raccoon slave, she will probably be a lovely and pretty little raccoon slave, right?
If she meows a few times, it should make the emperor soften his heart and stop being angry with her, right?
Fuling was not sure in her heart, but her strong desire to survive still made her meow. Fortunately, her voice was also coquettish, sweet and pleasant to the ear. Not to mention others, even she herself couldn't help but soften her heart when she heard this coquettish and sweet voice.
The emperor didn't expect that after waking up, the cat slave did not run back to his master, but ran into his arms.
At this moment, the palace servant who was chasing Fuling had already explained the whole cause and effect to Su Peisheng. He was really afraid that he would be held accountable by the emperor.
However, as the emperor's confidant, Su Peisheng naturally understood the emperor's love for Li Nu. He comforted the palace maid with a few words, and looking at the emperor again, he found that he had indeed fallen for Li Nu's beauty.
However, because the emperor liked cats and dogs, he had seen many beautiful cats and dogs. It was the first time he had seen a cat slave with such fairy-like aura as the one in front of him. No wonder the emperor fell in love with it at first sight. Even he, a man with no distractions, couldn't help but feel soft-hearted when he saw the cat slave in front of him, especially when he heard the cat slave's soft meowing, his bones felt soft and his heart melted.
I think the emperor should do the same.
The emperor's heart was indeed melted by the call of the raccoon slave. He thought about it and decided that it didn't matter who this raccoon slave belonged to before, because he could only be his now. He could tell at a glance that this was his raccoon slave!
Whoever the emperor favors will benefit, even if the other person is a cat slave.
Because of the emperor's love for her, Fuling now lives a more leisurely life than the emperor.
Since the emperor intends to take good care of Fuling, he will naturally give her the best. In order to ensure Fuling's good health, the emperor also specially asked the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to take Fuling's pulse.
Fuling also witnessed with her own eyes the power of the imperial physician. Not only could he take people's pulses, but he could also easily gauge the health condition of a cat slave.
The imperial physician who treated Fuling was named Ye. He was originally unpopular in the Imperial Medical Bureau and thought he would live a peaceful life. However, he did not expect that one day, his medical skills would be demonstrated on a cat slave.
Before Fuling became a raccoon slave, she was already ill and had even been frightened to death. Her physical condition was worrisome. Although she got a good sleep and felt much better after becoming a raccoon slave, she still had many problems.
In fact, those problems were accumulated in her body when she was the human Poria cocos. However, she was just an ordinary little palace maid and had no right to see the imperial physician. Life and death were determined by fate, so even if she felt uncomfortable, she could only endure it.
Because of your youth, all the symptoms are not obvious. But when you get older, all the problems appear and various symptoms follow.
Now that she has become the raccoon slave Fuling, her physical condition remains the same. Doctor Ye is a very good doctor. He assured the emperor that although her body is weak, she will recover after his treatment.
The emperor never expected that the seemingly healthy raccoon would have so many problems. Now that Doctor Ye can cure it, he naturally lets Doctor Ye do his best to treat it.
Fuling also knew that her health was worrying, so she was naturally happy to have the treatment from the imperial physician. So whether it was acupuncture or taking medicine, Fuling was obedient and not at all noisy and uncooperative like other raccoon slaves.
It's just that her eyes would be filled with tears every time she had acupuncture. Although she was obedient when drinking the medicine, tears would fall from her eyes. She looked very quiet, which made people feel distressed just by looking at her.
The emperor originally thought that it would be difficult to get Fuling to take medicine and give her acupuncture, but when he thought about how obedient Fuling was, he felt uncomfortable and frowned. Even though the ladies could enter the palace and pick their names, the emperor still had no interest.
What he is most concerned about now is Fuling's health. Anything that is not related to Fuling cannot shake the emperor's mind. Therefore, the emperor, who was supposed to turn over the cards, did not turn over anyone's card, but stayed with Fuling, who looked listless after taking the medicine.
Fuling didn't expect that the emperor would like Li Nu so much that he didn't even bother to turn over the name card. Today is the day for all the ladies to enter the palace.
Fuling has always stayed in the emperor's bedroom. During the day, when the emperor was reading memorials in the Yangxin Palace, she would nestle in the emperor's arms. It was not that she wanted to nestle in the emperor's arms and act coquettishly, but Li Nu's body had its own ideas.
The emperor's air continuously entered her body, and she felt very comfortable, so she no longer rejected it.
Her appearance changed a lot of the plot. The emperor did not enter the harem before the ladies entered the palace. Although the queen gave her the maid Fuzi in order to disgust Concubine Hua, she did not vent her anger early in the morning because of jealousy of Concubine Xin. Fuzi did not offend Concubine Hua, and now everything is safe and sound.
The emperor has never entered the harem. Although Concubine Hua still gave the young lady who entered the palace a warning, she did not bring up the emperor.
Although Fu Zi was still sent to Concubine Hua's Yiku Palace, she did not die because many things did not happen. And because she did not die, the plot caused by her death did not happen.
Another unexpected thing here is Sister Siji, Xia Dongchun. For some reason, this sister not only did not become aggressive and hostile to An Lingrong, but instead became good friends with An Lingrong and they could talk about anything.
When An Lingrong entered the Yanxi Palace with her, Xia Dongchun, as the one with higher status, not only did not say bad words to An Lingrong, who was of lower status, but instead made peace with her.
An Lingrong was a cautious person to begin with, and she was no pushover when faced with Xia Dongchun's advances, so she naturally became familiar with Xia Dongchun.
The relationships between people are so interesting. Because of Xia Dongchun's active request for peace, it is Noble Lady Fucha who is isolated in the Yanxi Palace. Every day, only Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong can be seen laughing like good sisters.
Not only that, Xia Dongchun is also very courageous. All day long, she either pulls An Lingrong to jump rope or to do exercises with her. In her words, a set of boxing every day can strengthen the body and beautify the skin.
The Yanxi Palace was very lively because of the inconsistency between Xia, Dong and Chun.
Because Xia Dongchun was on good terms with An Lingrong, there was no plot of "a hundred lashes" and, apart from giving the new ladies a little warning when they paid their respects, Concubine Hua did not make the ladies particularly afraid.
The incident of Zhen Huan being frightened and falling ill and avoiding the emperor's favor did not happen, so when the emperor could choose the one to marry, the ladies in the various palaces were actually waiting.
Everyone had expectations for what would happen in the future, but they could never have imagined that the emperor they were waiting for did not intend to have anyone sleep with him for the sake of his servant, Li Nu.
Now, his mind and eyes are all on the health of Li Nu. As long as Li Nu's health does not recover, he will not have the extra mood to favor the beauties in the harem.
Fuling never thought that she could influence the emperor's mood after becoming a raccoon slave. She originally thought that Shen Meiyu would be able to successfully sleep with the emperor. Even if Shen Meiyu was not the first to sleep with the emperor, it should be Zhen Huan. After all, the emperor was very interested in Zhen Huan during the selection of the emperor's concubines.
Fuling is quite familiar with the world of Legend of Zhen Huan. As a substitute for Chun Yuan, Zhen Huan finally became the emperor's true love. Now that Zhen Huan is not pretending to be sick to avoid the emperor's favor, considering the emperor's longing for Chun Yuan, shouldn't he be eager to let Zhen Huan sleep with him?
The result is not.
Not only did the emperor not allow anyone to sleep with him, but he did not enter the harem for three whole months.
Although the emperor was not a person who liked to enter the harem, he would still visit the harem for about ten days a month. Even if he did not favor the concubines in the harem, he would still meet with his favorite concubines, drink tea and chat with them.
As a result, the emperor did not enter the harem for three whole months. The empress dowager took the emperor's pulse and could not find any signs of health discomfort, so she could not sit still.
Could it be that the Emperor still intends to observe mourning for the late Emperor?
The Emperor really couldn't tell the Empress Dowager that he had no mood to enter the harem because his servant Li Nu was sick, so he used the late Emperor as a scapegoat.
The Empress Dowager didn't expect that she had guessed it right. She just said that the Emperor was confused and advised him that it was more important to expand the royal family.
However, the Emperor had made up his mind, and the Empress Dowager could not persuade him.
Since the Emperor did not enter the harem, the ones who were anxious and angry were not only the Empress Dowager but also the Queen, otherwise she would not have gone to the Empress Dowager for help.
The remaining Concubine Hua was also anxious, but she also had her pride. Not only that, she was already uncomfortable with these new concubines entering the palace, and now it was a good thing for her that the emperor did not enter the harem.
She simply couldn't imagine that the emperor would come to the harem and not come to her Yikun Palace but instead favor other concubines. She would be so angry that she would die, she would really be so angry that she would die.
Now that she couldn't see the emperor, and the new concubines who had entered the palace couldn't see the emperor either, she felt strangely balanced.
No matter why the emperor didn't enter the harem, she felt much relieved anyway.
However, three whole months without entering the harem was too long, so the emperor made a symbolic trip to Jingren Palace during the day.
Although the emperor has no feelings for the queen, according to etiquette, he has not visited the harem for a long time, so now that he is here, he should visit the queen first.
The queen was very happy. Although the emperor only drank tea with her, talked for a while and then left, it was a great comfort to the queen.
The Emperor also told the Empress that although he was selected as a concubine, he still had to observe mourning for the late Emperor. After all, the Empress Dowager had asked about it, and although this was an excuse, it would not be exposed by the Empress.
Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why he didn't come to the harem. He was in his prime, and it would be unreasonable for him not to come to the harem.
The Queen had already known from the Queen Mother the reason why the Emperor did not come to the harem, so she was very virtuous and considerate and expressed her understanding.
She also said that she would explain to all the concubines why the emperor did not come to the harem and would never let the emperor get into trouble.
The emperor was also very satisfied with the queen's reaction. He came to the queen just for this matter. His cat slave had not yet recovered from his health, so how could he have the mood to deal with these women in the harem.
With the Queen's explanation, the Emperor's decision not to come to the harem was a clear solution. The previous court gradually learned of the Emperor's plan. They did not expect the Emperor to make such a choice, but they also submitted memorials one after another, praising the Emperor's behavior.
Fuling knew all about the emperor, who was hiding his achievements and fame. If the late emperor knew that the emperor used him as an excuse to be nice to a cat slave, he would probably resurrect from the dead.
Fuling was very weak, but after being treated by Doctor Ye, she gradually recovered.
By the time Imperial Physician Ye confirmed and affirmed that Fuling was truly healthy, the new concubine had already been in the palace for a full year.
The Emperor did not go to the Yime Garden during the New Year's Eve banquet, but Zhen Huan and the others performed their talents.
But they were all very well-behaved and did not arouse the emperor's interest in them.
The emperor still watched Zhen Huan's performance attentively, but he was thinking about Fuling in his heart and was distracted unknowingly. When he came back to his senses, Zhen Huan had already finished her performance.
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang had a good relationship as sisters. During the New Year's Eve banquet, the two of them were together, one playing the flute and the other playing the piano. They were a pair of beautiful and graceful sisters.
As a result, the whole show was shown to other people, and the emperor was completely disappointed.
As a cat slave, Fuling was very sleepy. During the New Year's Eve banquet, she was sleeping soundly on the emperor's dragon bed and didn't even know the emperor had arrived.
At the New Year's Eve banquet, Zhen Huan and Mei Zhuang performed their talents, so the plot of praying in the Plum Garden was lost. The maid Yu Ying'er, who was supposed to step on Zhen Huan to get to the top, also lost her ladder. However, she did not gain nothing, as she watched a good show.
Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong were of low status. Although they also attended the New Year's Eve banquet, they did not even have a proper seat and did not have any outstanding talents. So after watching the performances of Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu, Xia Dongchun took An Lingrong and sneaked away.
Xia Dongchun has never had a good rest since she traveled through time to the world of "Legend of Zhen Huan". She spent money to travel through time and space just to relax, and she has no interest in palace fighting at all. But she didn't expect that there would be a small accident during her relaxation. She chose a pastoral world, but ended up in a world of palace fighting.
She has been in bad mode since she became Xia Dongchun. She just wants to live easily and happily until her vacation is over. But she didn't expect that she would fall in love with An Lingrong at first sight.
Although this is a world of palace fighting and not her original world, An Lingrong seems to her like a smart but sensitive little rabbit. She wants to take her home and marry her.
How can't such a cute little rabbit be her wife?
So Xia Dongchun was very good at pretending to be a big shot towards An Lingrong. Now An Lingrong treated her as her best sister and never thought that Xia Dongchun had any bad intentions towards her.
Xia Dongchun knew that she could not stay in this small world for long, and would return to her original world when the time came. However, as long as An Lingrong was willing, she could take An Lingrong with her and leave this small world. At that time, she could create a new body for An Lingrong in her world to hold her soul.
The excitement Yu Ying'er saw was Xia Dongchun dragging An Lingrong to Yimeyuan to play. She couldn't understand what was going on with these two people.
I just think that the emperor's concubine is pretty stupid. She actually looks for sisters in the palace. If she can become the emperor's concubine, then all the women in the harem will be her enemies.
Xia Dongchun knew that An Lingrong was timid, so she didn't dare to make any extra moves, but it was still okay to hold her hand or give her a hug while playing.
An Lingrong is small and her body is soft and sweet. Every time I hug her, I want to take her away.
Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong were playing further and further away, out of Yu Ying'er's sight.
An Lingrong had never been very unrestrained when she was in the An family, and she dared not make any mistakes after entering the palace. However, when she met Xia Dongchun, who was infinitely tolerant and praised her, she became a little bolder.
Although she was afraid that someone would discover her sneaking away, she forgot about it when she was playing in the snow.
Later, when Xia Dongchun threw her down in the snow, she was dazed. She didn't expect Xia Dongchun to catch her so quickly. She thought she ran quite fast.
Xia Dongchun didn't think so much at first, but when An Lingrong was really knocked down by her, she couldn't hold back her heartbeat.
The thumping heartbeats between An Lingrong and Xia Dongchun were particularly clear, and the atmosphere became a little strange. An Lingrong had been quite lively, but now she became quiet, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
However, Xia Dongchun still had some rationality. She knew that the time was wrong, the place was wrong, everything was wrong, so rationality prevailed. She pulled An Lingrong to meet up with the palace maids who had come out to look for them, and they returned to the Yanxi Palace together.
An Lingrong returned to the Yanx Palace and was served to sleep, but she tossed and turned. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that Xia Dongchun was a little strange. Xia Dongchun's originally long vacation was suddenly shortened. She heard the call that the vacation was over and she had to return as soon as possible.
Xia Dongchun was a mercenary in her original world. She had relatively free time, otherwise she would not have thought of going on vacation. But after just two days of playing, the other side came looking for her desperately. It was obvious that they had a new mission.
The boss of the mercenaries is obsessed with money. He will take any mission no matter what it is, as long as he is paid, he will do it. Correspondingly, he also exploits his subordinates, the mercenaries, a lot.
Xia Dongchun is not the most powerful among the mercenaries, but he is also among the top ten. Otherwise, he would not have the money to have this kind of time-travel vacation experience.
She thought it was an ordinary vacation, but unexpectedly she ran into An Lingrong. She hadn't told her anything yet, but she had to leave. To be honest, Xia Dongchun was very unwilling to accept this.
But military orders are as heavy as mountains. If she delays and does not go back, she will not be able to bear the punishment that awaits her.
People can't just live without people and money and suffer, so even though she was reluctant to leave An Lingrong, she still chose to leave this world. However, she never thought that An Lingrong would come to find her before she left.
"Sister Xia, where are you going?"
An Lingrong finally fell asleep, but she couldn't sleep well no matter what. She didn't know why, but she still secretly came to find Xia Dongchun without any rules, and then she saw a scene that she would never see in her life.
She saw Xia Dongchun standing in a circle of light, but there was clearly another Xia Dongchun lying on the bed.
An Lingrong was not afraid, but just panicked. She didn't know why Xia Dongchun suddenly became like this.
Time was very tight, and Xia Dongchun had decided to let An Lingrong go, but An Lingrong came to her on her own initiative. She would never be willing to just leave without doing anything.
So Xia Dongchun didn't hesitate and asked An Lingrong directly if she was willing to go with her.
An Lingrong felt that at this moment Xia Dongchun was like a seductive enchantress, and she was seducing her soul.
But her mouth was faster than her brain. Seeing Xia Dongchun was about to leave, she followed him directly. Then An Lingrong was taken away by Xia Dongchun.
By the time the palace servants found them, Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong had already left this little world without any illness or harm.
Two concubines in the palace died unexpectedly in the same room. It seemed strange no matter how one thought about it, so the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, but no clues were found.
They also found Yu Ying'er, and Yu Ying'er told them what she had seen.
No one would have thought that An Lingrong was taken away by Xia Dongchun, and at this moment she was experiencing life and death with her in Xia Dongchun's world.
As a raccoon slave, Fuling shouldn't have known all this, but who could have helped her get the cheat? She happened to draw the Sky-Viewing Mirror, so she could see a lot of excitement, including the one involving Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong.
She was very curious about the world where Xia Dongchun lived, and planned to choose the world where Xia Dongchun lived when she went on vacation. She wanted to see if she could meet Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong. After all, it was quite interesting to see these two people together.
The deaths of Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong did not cause any stir in the harem. After all, neither of them was favored by the emperor and their rank was not high, so no one really cared about their life or death.
Although the cause of death of Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong was not found out, the emperor finally decided to bury them both in the concubines' tomb, which was considered to be a decent way to bury them.
It is a relief that a good girl has passed away after entering the palace.
There were only a few new concubines entering the palace, and now two are missing, it feels like the harem is a lot emptier.
However, Noble Lady Fucha, who lived in the Yanx Palace with An Lingrong and Xia Dongchun, was not a courageous person.
Ever since An Lingrong and Xia Dongchun passed away, Noble Lady Fucha felt that the Yanx Palace was not clean, otherwise there was no way to explain why two people died out of nowhere.
She has never been very courageous to begin with, and if she were asked to continue living in the Yanxi Palace, she might scare herself to death.
So when Noble Lady Fucha fell ill, she asked the Empress Dowager to change her palace.
But the living quarters for all the concubines had been allocated from the beginning. Noble Lady Fucha suddenly wanted to move to a new place, and there was no good place available for her at the moment.
But now Noble Lady Fucha no longer had any thoughts of being picky. As long as she could leave the Yanx Palace, she would live anywhere.
This made the matter easier, and Noble Lady Fucha was assigned to live in Concubine Qi's Changchun Palace.
Noble Lady Fucha had always gotten along well with Concubine Qi, and now that they were assigned to the same palace, their relationship became even better, and they looked like good sisters.
The Queen even compared Concubine Qi with Noble Lady Fucha, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang. It is unknown which of these two sisters will be able to bloom forever.
Fuling was in good health, and the emperor was in a good mood, so he took advantage of the hot weather to take the concubines in the harem to escape the heat.
All the new concubines who had not served in the emperor's bedchamber were also brought to the garden. No matter what, the emperor was happy to see all the flowers blooming.
Zhen Huan and the others also knew that the emperor had to observe mourning. Although they did not expect to have to stay alone in the palace, it was only a few days away from the end of the emperor's mourning period.
Besides, not having the emperor's bed too early is not without its benefits. They are more familiar with the palace. Although they have never had any chance to see the emperor, their mentality has calmed down.
Although Concubine Hua has always been trying to show off to the Queen, they have always been reciprocal and generally speaking, everything is calm.
As the emperor's favorite, Fuling naturally had to go along. When she arrived at the garden, she thought that the emperor would make an exception and eat some meat, but it turned out that the emperor was a simple-minded person and he really was observing mourning. Even when Princess Wen Yi had her birthday, there was no big celebration. Not only that, the fake pregnancy did not happen. Now Shen Meiyu's relationship with Zhen Huan is as good as before, but the emperor did not let Shen Meiyu come out to share Hua Fei's power, so Hua Fei has always been law-abiding.
The incident of falling into the Thousand Carp Pond did not happen naturally. Although Concubine Hua looked down on the concubines in the harem equally, she did not bite everyone like a mad dog.
She looked down on Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan's behavior, but she didn't waste her energy on setting up a fake pregnancy.
The emperor said that he really did bring his concubines out to escape the heat, but he himself was obsessed with playing with his cat every day and didn't devote any energy to any of his concubines.
Fuling felt that if the emperor continued to be so obsessed with playing with cats, those things that could threaten Shen Meizhuang would probably never happen.
She even fantasized that she could lie flat from now on.
However, things were not as simple as Fuling thought. It was another New Year's Eve banquet. After a year, the emperor's mourning period was over, and those concubines in the harem who had never slept with him had waited for two years in vain.
As the green cards of the concubines appeared in front of the emperor, it meant that another round of bloody storm in the harem had begun.
Fuling is now in good health and full of energy, so the emperor is no longer in a bad mood. So when he flipped the cards this time, the first person he chose was the queen.
Both Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang had thought about who the emperor would invite to sleep with him after the mourning period, and they were also nervous, but no one expected that the emperor would go to the queen's Jingren Palace.
But after the shock, they all understood the emperor's choice. Although it was not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, according to the rules, the emperor should go to the queen's Jingren Palace after the mourning period.
The Queen did not expect that the first place the Emperor would come to after the mourning period would be Jingren Palace. She thought that the Emperor would turn over Zhen Huan's name card.
After all, Zhen Huan's stunning dance at the New Year's Eve banquet dazzled everyone.
Moreover, the Queen knew that Queen Chunyuan's best dance was the Jinghong Dance. Zhen Huan and Chunyuan were already similar, and when Zhen Huan danced the Jinghong Dance again, it was as if Chunyuan was reborn. The Emperor also greatly praised Zhen Huan at that time.
So the Queen guessed that after the mourning period, the first place the Emperor would go to would be Zhen Huan's Sui Yuxuan.
The Queen's idea was not wrong. If it weren't for Fuling, the Emperor would indeed think that Zhen Huan was extraordinary. But after the Emperor had Fuling, he became obsessed with cats and couldn't extricate himself. He said that he was watching the performance seriously, but in fact, his mind was full of cats.
The Emperor does treat Zhen Huan in a special way, but in front of Fuling, Zhen Huan is just a sideline character.
Therefore, the emperor today can be said to be quite calm, and naturally will not do anything to embarrass the queen.
The Emperor went to Jingren Palace, but there were many clumsy palace servants breaking things in Concubine Hua's Yikun Palace.
The next day when they paid their respects, the two of them confronted each other, which gave the other concubines a good show.
After the emperor went to Jingren Palace, he did not enter the harem for seven days in a row. The reason was simple. After entering Jingren Palace, the emperor suffered from insomnia. He regretted it very much. Why did he come to Jingren Palace?
All he could think about was playing with Fuling. He also wondered whether Fuling would behave well without him and whether she missed him.
The emperor has become a complete poop-shoveler. He has no other option in his mind except cats.
The emperor missed Li Nu all night long, but Fuling was heartless and just wanted to eat, drink and have fun.
The emperor began to flip the cards, and the gears of fate began to turn. Fuling just wanted to cherish the last moment of relaxation and had no time to think about the emperor.
The emperor probably didn't expect that he, as her master, had no weight at all in Fuling's heart, so he didn't call anyone to sleep with him for seven days.
But now that his mourning period was over, he had no good excuse, so the second time the emperor entered the harem after Jingren Palace, he went to Yiku Palace.
Before the existence of Li Nu, Yikun Palace was the place the emperor visited most often. He was very familiar with every tree and blade of grass in the Yikun Palace, but now he feels it is very unfamiliar.
When she saw Nian Shilan again, she felt that she seemed not as cute as before. At least she could not compare with Li Nu.
Concubine Hua looked forward to seeing the emperor every day, and now she finally saw him with a head full of childish thoughts. It was a pity that the emperor was a complete scumbag and just chatted with Concubine Hua, which made her very angry.
But when Concubine Hua paid her respects the next day, she still pretended to be very tired. But everyone in the harem didn't know that the Emperor went to Concubine Hua's Yiku Palace but didn't ask for water.
But Concubine Qi did not let Concubine Hua off at all. She told the truth directly, inserted a tube into Concubine Hua's lungs, and asked her how could she still be so tired even though she didn't ask for water? Was she pretending?
Concubine Qi is a simple-minded person. She is in cahoots with the Queen, so she has always been at odds with Concubine Hua. Now that Concubine Hua is behaving like this, naturally she has to speak out against her.
As a result, she offended Concubine Hua, who bluntly told Concubine Qi that instead of worrying about the affairs of Yikun Palace, she might as well worry about the Third Prince. Seeing that he was either growing taller or on the way to growing taller every day, she might as well take a break from growing taller and grow her brain.
Concubine Hua was very unhappy about Concubine Qi exposing her shortcomings, so after she confronted Concubine Qi, she claimed to be sick and resigned, not giving Concubine Qi a chance to fight back, nor giving the Queen a chance to refuse.
The greeting ended in a hasty manner.
After the Emperor, there seemed to be a pattern in flipping the cards. He would flip the cards only once every ten days or half a month, and the ones he flipped were always the elderly people in the palace. He seemed to look down on Zhen Huan and the others and never flipped a card.
The Queen Mother took the opportunity to ask the Emperor when he was paying his respects, whether he was dissatisfied with these concubines and whether he wanted to select some more clever concubines to enter the palace.
The emperor also had his reasons. He simply said that he had been in mourning and had not entered the harem. Now that the mourning period was over, he should comfort the old people in the palace. If he favored the new concubines in the palace after the mourning period, they might become spoiled, making the concubines in the palace unhappy and causing disharmony in the harem.
Although the Empress Dowager felt that the Emperor's statement was a bit far-fetched, it was not completely unreasonable, so she still accepted the Emperor's words.
She had no choice but to accept it. After all, she couldn't force the emperor to favor the concubines in the harem.
In this way, the emperor had a period of peace again, but the number of concubines in the palace was limited, and not all of them were remembered by the emperor and worthy of comfort, so it was inevitable that the new concubines such as Zhen Huan had to start serving him in bed.
The established historical trajectory seemed to be unchangeable, and Shen Meizhuang was still the first concubine to sleep with the emperor.
The emperor was very satisfied with her family background, and naturally he liked Shen Meizhuang a little, but he didn't like her more than that.
However, if the emperor wants to fool an inexperienced young girl, he is still very capable. Shen Meizhuang is also impressed by the emperor's gentleness and erudition.
But such beauty was only short-lived. Shen Meizhuang served in the emperor's bedchamber for three days, and then the emperor became busy and did not enter the harem for ten days. The next time he flipped the card, it was Zhen Huan's.
The Queen thought that this time Zhen Huan would definitely be the one to receive the most favor, but it turned out that Zhen Huan was afraid of cats. She became timid when she saw Fuling. Although she hid it very well, she was still discovered by the Emperor. So the Emperor, who always thought highly of Li Nu, became dissatisfied with Zhen Huan and never turned over Zhen Huan's card again after just one day.
The emperor felt that Li Nu was wronged, but Fuling thought the emperor was sick.
Which good man would have the urge to play with the cat with the bride on their wedding night?
Fuling thought about the emperor's behavior and felt that he was seriously ill, but when the emperor saw that Zhen Huan looked like Chun Yuan, he couldn't help but share Li Nu with her. After all, they often did so when Chun Yuan was alive.
At that time, Chun Yuan would compose poems and play the piano for Li Nu. She originally wanted to recreate the memories, but Zhen Huan did not cooperate well and there was a flaw. She was afraid of cats and ended up offending the emperor.
Although the emperor did not return the jade intact, he was still not happy. In his opinion, Zhen Huan was a little ungrateful.
Fuling felt that Zhen Huan's fall from favor was unfair. Even Zhen Huan herself didn't understand how she had offended the emperor. Logically speaking, the emperor shouldn't have recruited her only once.
But the emperor became busy afterwards, and she couldn't be sure whether he was angry with her. She just had a vague guess, but there was no trace of anything. She could only blame herself for being too suspicious and comfort herself that the emperor was just too busy and didn't have any problem with her.
But the truth is, the emperor has a problem with Zhen Huan because she is afraid of cats.
Fuling had not expected such a turn of events. She had never dared to think that she had a high status in the emperor's mind, but looking at Zhen Huan's fate, she felt that perhaps her status in the emperor's heart was not low.
After Zhen Huan and the others successively slept with the emperor, the harem was peaceful until Noble Lady Fucha was found to be pregnant, and then there were some happy events in the harem.
The emperor was also very happy. After all, having many children means more blessings. He just didn't expect that the first one to get pregnant would be Noble Lady Fucha.
As Noble Lady Fucha was the concubine with the best family background, her pregnancy naturally attracted everyone's attention, and the emperor was also happy.
But the Queen was unhappy, because Noble Consort Fucha had been acting like a spoiled brat every day since she became pregnant, and she was extremely arrogant because of her favor. The Emperor, considering the dragon offspring in her belly, naturally spoiled her a little, and as a result, the other concubines were miserable, and finally even the Emperor didn't want to spoil her anymore. Although he was very happy that Noble Consort Fucha was pregnant, he really couldn't like a concubine who was so ostentatious and ignorant.
The reason why the Emperor's beloved concubine hated Noble Lady Fucha and let her fend for herself was that she was disgusted with Poria cocos after seeing it, as if Poria cocos was some dirty thing.
Fu Cha Guiren was not like this before she became pregnant. At that time, she wanted to praise Fu Ling to the sky, otherwise the emperor would not be happy to let her sleep with him two more times. As a result, Fu Cha Guiren's face changed after she became pregnant.
He shamelessly spoke to the emperor, saying that cats were not good for pregnant women and would cause collisions. He also said that cats were very wild and ran around everywhere, and their bodies were dirty.
In short, she felt uncomfortable when she saw Li Nu, so she sent Fuling to the cat and dog room because she was pregnant with Dragonborn.
Noble Lady Fucha also knew that the emperor liked Li Nu, so she didn't call for killing her. However, she had already made the emperor unhappy by letting Fuling go to the cat and dog room, so when Noble Lady Fucha acted like a troublemaker again, the emperor just ignored her.
Noble Lady Fucha's actions made all the concubines in the harem know that the Emperor valued Fuling, and they all spoke well of Fuling in a roundabout way.
Zhen Huan also realized that she was afraid that the emperor would find out about Li Nu, so she only slept with him once and was never called again.
Everyone in the harem flatters the powerful and bullies the weak. Originally, Zhen Huan was a hot favorite to be the emperor's favorite concubine, but her popularity dropped because the emperor was in mourning. Now, Zhen Huan has only served him in the emperor's bed once and has not served him since. Everyone speculates that her popularity is just a flash in the pan, so their attitude towards her has changed 180 degrees.
The supplies at Sui Yuxuan were always lacking in one thing or another, and Zhen Huan's life was extremely miserable. If it weren't for Shen Meiyu's help, she wouldn't even have a hot meal.
Zhen Huan felt that this was not going to work, but she couldn't find a way out of the situation for a while. It was not until Noble Lady Fucha attended the Empress's flower-viewing banquet that Zhen Huan felt her chance had come.
The death of Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong changed a lot of things, but many things did not change. For example, the Queen would abort the babies in every concubine's belly equally, and there are still only two or three children in the harem today.
In the Queen's view, the current harem has more than enough children and there is no need to have any more. So even if Noble Lady Fucha did not have a strong family background, she still would not let this child be born.
The Queen's idea was very simple. Since her Honghui was gone, there was no need for other concubines to have children. The Queen was very serious about the matter of abortion, so even if An Lingrong was gone, the Queen still prepared a flower-viewing banquet, and still wanted to use pine nuts to deal with the child in Noble Lady Fucha's belly.
Zhen Huan was smart. She was not some despised concubine in this life. Her status was even lower than Concubine Cao's, so she could remain calm and see more things. She could see that this flower-viewing banquet was held for Concubine Fucha, so when Songzi madly attacked Concubine Fucha, Zhen Huan took action.
She blocked most of the attacks for Noble Lady Fucha because she had a plan in mind. Her face was not injured, but her hand was scratched by pine nuts. However, Noble Lady Fucha was just a little frightened and nothing else happened.
The Emperor's Dragon Offspring is a big deal, so the Emperor naturally came, and naturally knew about Zhen Huan's contribution in protecting the Dragon Offspring.
The Emperor had been very bothered by the fact that Zhen Huan looked down on Li Nu, but now that she had made a contribution, the Emperor was clear about rewards and punishments, and his attitude towards her became much better. Not only that, he also gave Zhen Huan a lot of rewards.
Because Noble Lady Fucha was frightened, the imperial physician asked her to rest. The emperor simply exempted Noble Lady Fucha from paying her respects and asked her to stay in the palace to rest, which was actually putting Noble Lady Fucha under house arrest.
Noble Lady Fucha was also really frightened. At the same time, she said that she would kill Songzi no matter what. The Emperor looked down on Noble Lady Fucha even more, but he did not say anything against it.
The Queen's various plans were disrupted by Zhen Huan, and she felt very uncomfortable. Knowing that Zhen Huan had caught the Emperor's eye again, the Queen felt shortness of breath and her head began to hurt again.
Noble Lady Fucha was under house arrest and the palace fell into complete silence. Zhen Huan's hand was severely injured by the pine nuts. If she didn't take good care of it, she would probably be left with a scar.
The emperor also rewarded Zhen Huan with a lot of scar treatment ointments. Not only that, the emperor once again summoned Zhen Huan to sleep with him. Although he did not call for water, he just asked Zhen Huan to play chess with him for a while. However, Zhen Huan's status was also raised in the hearts of the palace maids and eunuchs, and now they can also eat hot meals.
Zhen Huan was patient and not impatient. Knowing that the emperor's attitude had softened, she felt relieved.
Fuling admired Zhen Huan very much. If she was disfigured by a miscalculated plan, her life would be ruined. Besides, Zhen Huan was really afraid of cats, but she was able to rush forward at that time. She was really brave. She was worthy of being a woman who could slay a dragon.
Shen Meizhuang was relieved that Zhen Huan had regained favor. She was a lowly figure in the harem and her help to Zhen Huan was always limited. If Zhen Huan continued like this, she would really feel powerless.
Now Zhen Huan finally has face in front of the emperor, and Shen Meizhuang is really happy for her.
If we were to ask who was the most favored person in the harem, it would definitely be Shen Meizhuang. After all, she had been in the emperor's bedchamber for three consecutive days.
Fuling was worried about Shen Meizhuang. Zhen Huan was the heroine. Not to mention that she was in a low point now, even if she was thrown into the abyss, she could still get up. Compared with Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang was just an ordinary supporting role. She was worried about Zhen Huan. She really had a deep sisterly love.
After the emperor had Fuling, he had no interest in entering the harem. Before, he could have sex with everyone in the harem ten days a month, but now five days a month is too much. Most of the time, he only has three or two days, and he doesn't necessarily order sex every time.
The Empress Dowager was extremely anxious. If things continued like this, she would have to persuade the Emperor to hold another beauty contest.
Fuling is Shen Meizhuang's guardian beast. Whenever Shen Meizhuang appears, she will show friendliness to her. Therefore, Shen Meizhuang has slept with her the most times. Although she does not call for water every time, she will call for water once out of three times.
In addition, Fuling's lucky draw turned out to be a cheat, and Shen Meizhuang became pregnant. The emperor was happy, and directly bestowed Shen Meizhuang with the title, Hui, and stated that as long as Shen Meizhuang gave birth to a child, she would be promoted to a concubine regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl.
Shen Meizhuang was the most powerful person in the harem, and even the original heroine Zhen Huan had to avoid her.
However, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang are good sisters. If Shen Meizhuang is favored, Zhen Huan will get more benefits.
Compared with Shen Meiyu, the number of times Zhen Huan slept with the emperor was relatively small, but compared with concubines like Concubine Qi and Concubine Jing, the number of times she slept with the emperor was still quite a lot. However, when the emperor summoned her to sleep with the emperor, he never called her to sleep with him. He just played chess with her or listened to her play the piano.
Zhen Huan originally wanted to dance for the emperor, but the emperor never let Zhen Huan dance even once. No one knew what the emperor was thinking, but it was true that Zhen Huan's life was getting better. However, she had been in the palace for more than three years. Now she was twenty years old, but still had no children. Zhen Huan was really anxious.
Especially since her good sister Shen Meizhuang was pregnant, Zhen Huan couldn't help but feel anxious as she saw the gap between the two of them growing bigger and bigger.
But the emperor's attitude was clear. Although he invited her to sleep with him, he was never willing to get any closer to her. Every time he played chess or played the piano, he never called for water. How could she get pregnant?
She was just afraid of Li Nu at the beginning, and she also made amends later. Why didn't the emperor forgive her?
When Shen Meizhuang was three months pregnant, Noble Lady Fucha was already eight months pregnant. During this period, Noble Lady Fucha had burned mugwort to protect the fetus many times.
Not to mention Noble Lady Fucha herself, even everyone in the harem, including the Emperor, felt that Noble Lady Fucha might not be able to give birth to this baby.
Noble Lady Fucha has also changed from being a troublemaker in the beginning to being an honest and obedient person now. She is really afraid that she will lose the child.
Among them, the Queen was the most annoyed. According to her methods, it was impossible for Noble Lady Fucha to last so long with this pregnancy. However, seeing that the baby was still in Noble Lady Fucha's belly for eight months, she felt that Noble Lady Fucha must have discovered something, otherwise there was no way to explain why the baby had not been aborted.
The Queen did not expect Shen Meizhuang to be pregnant. After all, she knew that Shen Meizhuang was favored, and she was extremely careful about her food, clothing, housing and transportation. Logically speaking, it was absolutely impossible for Shen Meizhuang to get pregnant, but Shen Meizhuang still got pregnant. She didn't understand why the women in the harem were so pregnant!
The reason why the Queen's methods failed when used on Shen Meizhuang was because of Fuling's intervention. Every time she got close to Shen Meizhuang, it was a process of detoxifying her. The Queen would never think of this even until her death.
Noble Lady Fucha was quite pitiful. She was pregnant but was plotted against by the old witch, the Queen. Although Noble Lady Fucha had spoken rudely to her before, Fuling still secretly protected the baby in Noble Lady Fucha's belly because of the reward of 500 merits.
She even secretly wondered whether the child in Noble Lady Fucha's belly had some extraordinary origin, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why there was a surprise mission to save Noble Lady Fucha's twins, and to pay 500 merits for the fetus preservation fee.
Fuling has now become a raccoon slave, and she doesn't think much. She was not a smart person to begin with, so she gave up after thinking for a while and couldn't figure it out.
Fuling was just waiting for Noble Fucha to give birth to a prince, and then she felt relieved. Now that the time has come, even if the child encounters any disaster in the future, it will have nothing to do with her. She was really happy to receive 500 merits.
No one in the harem thought that Noble Lady Fucha could successfully give birth to a child, but Noble Lady Fucha was lucky. Although the little prince was weak, he was born safely.
The emperor knew that the little prince was in poor health, but he was still very happy. He gave Noble Lady Fucha the position of concubine. Now Noble Lady Fucha has become the mistress of a palace, but she still has not left Changchun Palace, and she still has a good relationship with Concubine Qi.
The person who is most unhappy in the harem now is the Queen. She has wasted too much energy on Fu Cha, so much so that she didn't do much to deal with Shen Meizhuang, and in the end, she accomplished nothing.
Jianqiu knew what was worrying the Empress. Although the Sixth Prince born by Fu Cha was in poor health, he was still a prince after all. The thing that the palace had the most was precious medicinal materials. If the Sixth Prince was allowed to grow up safely, it would definitely be a threat to the Third Prince, who was favored by the Empress.
Jianqiu was comforting the Queen, thinking that not to mention a sick child, even a lively and healthy child might not grow up if he was not properly looked after or cared for, so the Queen should just relax, as there was still time for everything.
Although the Fucha family is capable, Fucha herself is stupid. It is still unknown whether she can raise the Sixth Prince.
The Queen naturally could think of what Jianqiu could think of, but she just couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart. She felt that nothing the Queen had done had made her happy for a single day.
The concubines in the harem always bothered her like flies.
The Sixth Prince is now born safely, and Fu Cha is keeping a close eye on him. Shen Meizhuang is almost six months pregnant now, and nothing can be done to ensure the safe birth of the baby in her belly.
The Queen Mother had more schemes against Shen Meizhuang, but they were all easily resolved by Fuling. Shen Meizhuang inevitably suffered a little, but overall everything turned out well.
Zhen Huan also knew the importance of Shen Meizhuang's pregnancy safety, so she took better care of Shen Meizhuang. She stayed with Shen Meizhuang almost all the time except for sleeping. With her around, she did discover a lot of problems.
The Emperor's attitude towards Zhen Huan is getting better and better. When he sleeps with her in bed, he no longer just listens to her playing the piano and playing chess with her, but can also call for water. Although it only happens once or twice, it is still a huge improvement.
Zhen Huan was very satisfied, and she wanted to seize the opportunity to get pregnant as soon as possible. After all, the emperor's favor was like sand, which would flow when the wind blew.
The Empress saw through Zhen Huan's thoughts. She couldn't get rid of Sixth Prince Fu Cha, and she had no way to deal with Shen Meiyu. Her eyes unconsciously turned to Zhen Huan.
Fu Cha is now obsessed with raising children and has long since stopped serving the emperor in bed. The Sixth Prince alone consumes all her attention. Besides, she is timid, stupid but very obedient.
She couldn't understand or see through what she had gone through in the palace, but the Fucha family knew it clearly. Now that they already had the Sixth Prince, they naturally didn't ask for anything. They just hoped that the Sixth Prince would grow up safely. That was the most important thing.
Fu Cha knew what her family meant, so she naturally kept a low profile. Besides, she lived in Changchun Palace, and like Concubine Qi, she would not get any chance to sleep with the emperor.
The second is Shen Meizhuang. Before she became pregnant, she was indeed the one who slept with the emperor the most. But now that she is pregnant, she is naturally no longer among them.
Now in the harem, the one who has the most sleeps with the emperor is Concubine Hua, followed by Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan is younger than Concubine Hua, and now they are evenly matched. According to Concubine Hua's domineering personality, she will find trouble with Zhen Huan no matter what.
Although Zhen Huan can now get the emperor's pity, she is still a concubine, and she has no power to fight back against Concubine Hua's difficulties.
Shen Meizhuang is pregnant now and it is a critical time. She can't tell Shen Meizhuang everything and make her feel uneasy. She can only endure Hua Fei's anger.
Zhen Huan wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible because she had suffered enough humiliation in Concubine Hua's Yiku Palace.
The Queen Mother saw it clearly, so naturally she wanted to create an opportunity for Zhen Huan to get pregnant.
The precious prescription for conceiving a child in her hand thus fell into Zhen Huan's hands.
The first person Zhen Huan thought of when she got the prescription was Wen Shichu, but since the Queen wanted to use the prescription to plot against Zhen Huan, she naturally couldn't let Zhen Huan find out.
So Wen Shichu was sent out by the Queen with legitimate reasons, and he would not be able to come back for a while. If Zhen Huan could endure it, she could wait for Wen Shichu to come back.
But now Concubine Hua has become more and more aggressive in bullying Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan really can't wait any longer, so she asks other imperial doctors to look at the prescription. There is naturally no problem with the prescription. If the medicine is taken according to this prescription, it will surely lead to a boy. But whether the child can be born safely and grow up healthily depends on luck.
Not only that, this prescription is very harmful to the mother. Once you take it and give birth to a child, you will never be able to get pregnant again.
The doctor said it very clearly. He did not deceive Zhen Huan. It was up to Zhen Huan to decide what to do.
However, he did not tell Zhen Huan that she would not get pregnant after taking the prescription, but that it would be difficult to get pregnant. There is a huge difference between the two, and Zhen Huan was really tricked.
Her life is really difficult now, as she has a hard time making it in the palace because of Concubine Hua. She is a proud person by nature, so how could she be willing to be tortured by Concubine Hua?
Besides, her good sister Shen Meizhuang is pregnant, but she has not done anything. If she doesn't do something, she will really have to depend on others, and she doesn't want that.
Zhen Huan used the prescription and successfully slept with the emperor. Fuling knew at a glance that Zhen Huan was successfully pregnant, but she felt that Zhen Huan was still too impatient. If she could be patient and wait until Shen Meiyu successfully gave birth to a child and was promoted to a concubine and became the head of the palace, with her speaking well of her in front of the emperor, the emperor might change his mind about Zhen Huan.
After all, the emperor's attitude towards Zhen Huan is getting better and better, but Zhen Huan was really anxious and she could be said to have cut off her own retreat. The queen is worthy of being the queen, she is so cruel.
Fuling is not a kind person. She will not get any benefit from helping Zhen Huan, so even if Zhen Huan falls into a trap, she still does nothing.
Zhen Huan's life or death has nothing to do with her.
Because Shen Meizhuang was protected by Fuling, all the plans of the Queen Mother were in vain. Zhen Huan was also smart. She was determined to see the baby in her belly turn over, so naturally she could not offend Concubine Hua. Now Concubine Hua was the most favored in the harem.
Although he is favored, the emperor actually only goes to the harem for two or three days a month, and each time he stays in the Yikun Palace.
The emperor also cared about Shen Meizhuang, but he usually went to her palace during the day. Besides, Shen Meizhuang had been in constant conspiracy since she became pregnant. She basically stayed in the palace to rest and recuperate, so the emperor didn't care that much about her.
Concubine Hua could not see through the calculations of everyone in the harem. After Zhen Huan avoided their attention, Concubine Hua felt that her life had gotten better. Concubine Hua really had the emperor in her heart, so even if the emperor came to her Yikun Palace and did not order water, Concubine Hua would be happy to do so.
The Emperor was originally very angry with Concubine Hua because of Nian Gengyao's matter, but seeing Concubine Hua like this now reminded him of the time when she had just entered the palace as a concubine. At that time, Nian Shilan was confident and outspoken, the most lively person.
After losing his child, his temper became bad and he became domineering. He clung to power tightly and disliked everyone.
Now that she comes to the harem less often, he has noticed how lovely Nian Shilan is. At least Nian Shilan's feelings for him are incomparable to those of anyone else in the harem.
Hua Fei could also sense the change in the emperor's attitude. Although the emperor came to Yikun Palace less frequently now, she always felt that the relationship between the two had become better.
Concubine Hua had always loved the Emperor, and now she seemed to have grown up again. Her previously domineering temperament had become much gentler.
The emperor always brings Fuling with him every time he comes to Yikun Palace. It's simply insane, but it also brings Fuling a lot of benefits.
The Huanyi incense used in Hua Fei's Yikun Palace brought her many benefits. Hua Fei knew that the emperor cared about her and was also very kind to her, a cat slave.
Every time Fuling came to Yikun Palace, there were her favorite snacks. Fuling also sighed countless times that Nian Shilan was a silly girl.
How could the emperor, an old hand, deserve her love? Just a little bit of conscience made her change so much.
If the emperor really has a conscience, he should give Concubine Hua a child.
Every time she came to Hua Fei's Yiku Palace, Fuling would transform the toxicity of Huanyixiang into energy. The poison remaining in Hua Fei's body became less and less because of her closeness to her. In the long run, Hua Fei might not be unable to get pregnant and have a child.
Fuling originally had no feelings for Concubine Hua, but as the saying goes, a man who eats someone's food will be soft-hearted, and a man who works for someone's benefit will be grateful to him. Concubine Hua was really good to her, completely unlike other people whose liking for her was only superficial.
Concubine Hua likes the emperor and is sincere to Li Nu, the girl the emperor likes. Although she is sincere when she is jealous, she is also sincere when she is nice to her.
Human nature is very complicated. To other concubines, Concubine Hua is not a good person, but to Fuling, Concubine Hua is really a good person.
So if the emperor had a change of heart, he would sincerely hope that Concubine Hua could get pregnant and have a child.
The emperor had no idea what Fuling was thinking, but he did like Concubine Hua a little more now.
