"If God wants someone to die, he must first make him crazy. The Queen must not understand this principle."

When talking about Zhen Huan, a trace of disgust flashed in the empress dowager's eyes, but she soon turned into indifference. It didn't matter to her whether this woman was favored or not.

Anyway, they all make a living by pleasing the emperor, so why does it matter who they are?

What matters is that her family's glory continues.

The Queen was not convinced: "The Empress Dowager is always far-sighted. I am ashamed of myself. It's not that I am anxious, but the Emperor is really special to her. I am worried that if this continues, she will be more difficult to deal with than Concubine Hua."

The Queen Mother hit the nail on the head: "I understand. You have been suppressed by Concubine Hua for many years. Now that you have been able to rise up, you don't want to endure this aggrieved life any longer. The late emperor's harem was full of beauties, but most of them are now a handful of withered bones. Why should the Queen be so obsessed with the gains and losses of the moment?"

"Good fortune and bad fortune always come in pairs. Queen, the most important thing for you right now is to take good care of Concubine Jing's dragon fetus. There must not be any mistakes with this pregnancy."

When the Queen Mother said this, there was admonition and warning in her eyes.

When this was mentioned, the queen felt unhappy: "Every time there is a child in the palace, I think of my eldest prince. If he were still alive, I wouldn't have to suffer so much."

The Queen Mother said directly: "Because of this, you should pay more attention to Concubine Jing's baby. The child she gave birth to in Jingren Palace will always be closer to you."

The Queen was full of resistance: "Are you asking me to raise Concubine Jing's child?"

The Queen Mother said it more clearly: "All the children in this palace must call you mother. Similarly, no matter whether they are boys or girls, they are all my grandchildren. I have never been to a zhisi gate in my life. I am sure that the Queen must understand the meaning of the word zhisi."

Seeing that the Queen still hadn't turned around, the Queen Mother suddenly softened her tone:

"Zhen has been favored continuously, and I think she will be pregnant, Queen, that's all I have to say."

The queen's eyelids drooped, and her expression could not be seen clearly. After a few breaths, she finally agreed:

"I will follow the instructions of the Empress Dowager."

But she didn't take it seriously in her heart. She didn't have the empress dowager's blessings and wisdom. How could the situation in the previous dynasty be the same as it is now?

But she had to rely on the Queen Mother in the harem, so she had to obey.

But she did not gain nothing tonight. The Queen Mother's words woke her up. Instead of rushing to plot against Zhen Huan with many mistakes, it would be better to praise her to death like Concubine Hua did.

Good fortune, misfortune comes.

When you fall from a great height, the most satisfying thing is to be killed with one blow.

The time came to the 28th day of the first lunar month.

Emin presented a book called Qian Mingshi Market to the emperor.

E Min's misinterpretation successfully made the emperor believe that Qian Shiming's poems were poems that supported the rebel party.

On the same day, the head of the clan affairs office reported to the emperor that Yun'e often spoke resentful words to him in the clan affairs office.

The emperor kept silent about these two incidents.

The next day, the Knitting Bureau finally delivered the embroidered auspicious dress to the Yonghe Palace.

Jinxi took people to check again and again, and seeing that everything was beautiful and exquisite, she smiled and accepted the wedding dress, and placed it properly in the west room.

The gold and colorful embroidery is dazzling.

What was stinging was Concubine Qi's eyes. She looked at the piece of brocade and had the urge to rush up and tear it into pieces.

But in the end she just forced a smile and congratulated Zhen Huan again with exaggerated words.

On the last night of the first lunar month, the emperor came to Yonghe Palace without any notice.

An Lingrong was surprised. Shouldn't he be accompanying the Queen tonight?

The emperor looked at her surprised expression and said with a smile, "Why, are you alienated from me?"

An Lingrong smiled brightly, her tone slightly coquettish: "I am overjoyed."

The emperor glanced at the scattered spices on the table, and his tone was filled with subtle envy: "I have been very annoyed recently, and everything is a mess. I thought of coming to see you, but I didn't expect you to be so contented."

An Lingrong helped him sit on the couch, her attitude natural and casual: "I have no great ambitions, I only have this hobby, Your Majesty, have you ever had a meal? I have cooked lily porridge in my small kitchen, Your Majesty, why don't you try it."

The emperor smiled in silence. No ambition? This meant he was not going to continue what he said.

Indeed, people are different.

However, only by knowing how to be content can you last long.

The emperor held An Lingrong, who was about to leave, and said with a hint of melancholy, "No need for the lily porridge. Sing a few lines for me."

An Lingrong looked at the emperor, whose smile did not reach his eyes, and asked tentatively: "What does the emperor want to hear?"

"Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi""

This?

An Lingrong hesitated for a moment, but soon pulled her hand away, took a few steps back and cleared her throat:

"Ten years of life and death, I can't forget you without thinking about you..."

The sad and melodious voice sounded even more mournful in the dark night.

The emperor simply closed his eyes and followed An Lingrong's rhythm into the past.

That night the emperor seemed to have fallen into a horrible dream, and occasionally muttered in his sleep.

An Lingrong was sleeping soundly and knew nothing about it.

On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head, and everything goes well.

The concubines from all palaces arrived at Jingren Palace early to wait for the ceremony.

The enthronement ceremony went smoothly without incident.

An Lingrong's heart sank.

The situation in the harem made her even more confused.

After Zhen Huan was made a concubine, the Queen devoted herself to teaching her how to handle palace affairs.

Seeing that she was quite opinionated, he simply handed over most of the palace affairs to Zhen Huan.

She herself was in Jingren Palace, taking care of Concubine Jing's dragon fetus.

The Queen's action made everyone in the former dynasty and the harem praise her for her virtue and benevolence, and she was truly a model of the mother of the country.

The queen, who was praised by the ministers, was now looking at Concubine Qi with a frown:

"You are too impatient. I have reminded you many times not to show your thoughts on your face. You spend every day in Yongshou Palace and see how Concubine Wan acts as a favored concubine."

Concubine Qi was quite unconvinced: "I also want to learn, but whenever I ask a question about the emperor, Zhen Huan looks away."

The Queen was very angry. She looked at Concubine Qi with a look of disappointment: "I asked you to use your eyes and your heart to think about it, instead of asking for it. If you keep asking, only a fool will tell you."

"I want to ask you, does the emperor visit you more often in Yongshou Palace or visit Zhen Huan more often?"

Concubine Qi was so ashamed that she tried to excuse herself:

"My Queen, I cannot act as hypocritical as Zhen Huan."

The queen was so angry that she tapped her forehead lightly with her hand:

"What you need to learn is how to win a man's heart, and learn these flattering skills in the palace."

"Have you ever used the things I gave you?"

When mentioning this, Concubine Qi's face flushed: "I have been using it all the time."

"Just use it. It's good for women and will help you gain favor. I'm trying to say a few good words for you in the emperor's office, so you better hurry up."

Lady Qi's eyes lit up instantly:

"Thank you, Queen."

After Concubine Qi left, the Queen asked Jianqiu to put away the string of red jade scented beads.

"Wen Shichu often goes in and out of Yongshou Palace, so put this thing away first."

"Anyway, the thing is quite useful to Lady Qi, so there is no need to change it for the time being."

......

On this day, Zhen Huan came to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity as usual.

A collection of poems on the desk caught her attention.
