The Queen has arrived: An Lingrong does not want to fight in the palace after her rebirth

Jingren Palace was overjoyed.

Concubine Jing, who was personally cared for by the Queen, gave birth safely.

The emperor was smiling happily, and everyone in Jingren Palace was admiring him.

The Queen was also grinning from ear to ear: "A baby boy has been born. I congratulate His Majesty."

The emperor's smile wrinkles were all piled up, and he said in a clear voice: "The Queen has made an indispensable contribution to the safe birth of Concubine Jing this time. Thank you for your hard work."

The Queen smiled gently and said, "This is my duty. Jingpin has just given birth and it is not easy to move her now. When she recovers, Your Majesty can decide which palace is the most suitable for her."

The emperor's heart was now full of the newborn child. He was nearly forty years old, but his offspring were not even a fraction of the number that his father had had. This newborn child gave him new hope, and he was eager to pass on this joy to the previous dynasty. He just casually replied to the queen's question: "You can do whatever you want."

"Then move back to Chuxiu Palace and vacate the main hall for Jingpin to live in."

"Well, let's do as the Queen says."

The Queen's question was a test. It seemed that even if Li Ying was made a concubine, the Emperor did not take her seriously. This was better. She could have a son without the Emperor's favor so that she could take care of both the big and the small.

In fact, the Queen wanted to ask who would raise the Sixth Prince, but she knew that the Emperor had suffered the pain of separation from his mother when he was a child, and the child was too young now, so it would be unwise to ask at this time, so she suppressed the idea.

Don't worry, she still has plenty of opportunities.

The Queen Mother was also very satisfied. Her niece had finally come to her senses. There were many children in the palace, so there were many opportunities. After all, she was the legitimate mother, so no matter how much trouble there was, she could not get past them.

But Concubine Qi's expression was not so good. She tiptoed to see the newborn baby, but was blocked by the Queen:

"Okay, there is a happy event in the palace today, but Concubine Jing just gave birth, so she needs to rest now. Everyone, go away. I will let you hold the baby when it is one month old."

Since the Queen had spoken, everyone had no choice but to leave as they could no longer stay.

As soon as I left Jingren Palace, I could hear the discussions of concubines from various palaces all along the way.

"You are so lucky to have a boy at first sight." This is the voice of Concubine Xin.

"Yes, they were talking about a peach blossom in the arms at the beginning, it seems that they were just playing a prank on us. I didn't realize that Li was also a scheming person." This was the sour voice of Concubine Qi.

"How can we believe everything about dreams about pregnancy? But sister Jing is really lucky. It is true that a mother is honored by her son. Concubine Wan has been pregnant for eight months. If she also gives birth to a prince, maybe you and I will have to go through the ceremony again." Cao Qinmo was just trying to watch the fun and hinting that if Zhen Huan gave birth to a child, she would probably be given the title of imperial concubine.

"That's not necessarily true. Empress Wan is still young and beautiful, unlike us who are old and ugly. The Emperor seldom thinks of her once a year." Concubine Xin smiled and joined Cao Qinmo in the conversation.

A group of people walked away talking and laughing.

Only An Lingrong forced a smile and laughed along.

How did the Sixth Prince come into being early? Will Zhen Huan have twins again?

Judging from the Queen's love for the Sixth Prince today, she probably already regards him as hers.

It seems that the Queen wants to play it safe between the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince.

She had to find a way to speed up the process of what she was planning with Concubine Duan.

An Lingrong returned to Yonghe Palace with a heavy heart.

At this time in Yongshou Palace, Zhen Huan also received the news:

"It was because of the Empress's concern that Concubine Jing and her child were able to be safe. I wonder if my childbirth will be just as smooth?"

Jin Xi hurriedly comforted her: "Your Majesty, you are blessed by heaven. Besides, Doctor Wen also said that your baby is in good condition. You don't have to worry."

When she mentioned this, Zhen Huan remembered something: "I am already eight months pregnant. Has the Ministry of Internal Affairs arranged for my mother to come to the palace to accompany me in childbirth?"

Jin Xi smiled and replied: "Don't worry, Madam. I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask, and Madam Zhen will be able to enter the palace to accompany you on the ninth day of the ninth month."

However, on the ninth day of September, Zhen Huan did not wait for her mother to enter the palace. Instead, she received the sad news that her father was imprisoned and the women in her family were under custody.

The cause was Qian Mingshi. When he was in decline, he met a mentor in Beijing, the historian Wan Si from eastern Zhejiang. Wan Si recommended him to be an assistant in compiling the "History of Ming Dynasty". Qian Mingshi was quite talented in poetry at that time. Every time he finished an article, he would polish it with poetry. Over time, his reputation grew.

Logically speaking, he became famous thanks to his mentor. A teacher is like a father for life, and a student should fulfill his filial duty. However, when his teacher suddenly passed away in Beijing, Qian Mingshi not only did not help with the funeral, but took advantage of the fact that his teacher's family was far away in Zhejiang and swept away the more than 100,000 volumes of books that his teacher had collected over decades, causing him to become infamous among the officials.

This time, the fact that he had colluded with Nian Gengyao was brought up, which brought up more scandals, and someone brought up the incident again in the court.

The emperor's anger, which had been lingering since the year before, was ignited again.

However, Zhen Yuandao once again disagreed with him at the grand court meeting, believing that this move would allow unhealthy trends to prevail in the court.

The emperor became angry at the time and asked Zhen Yuandao whether he was accusing him of blocking the channels of speech.

Zhen Yuandao hurriedly explained that this was just his duty as a censor and he was speaking his mind.

The emperor's face suddenly turned pale.

The opportunity that E Min had been waiting for for a long time finally came.

"Your Majesty, Zhen Yuandao has other ideas and refuses to repent. I think he should be severely punished."

He first stated that among all the civil and military officials in the court, only Zhen Yuandao did not write a poem to denounce Qian Mingshi, which was actually an act of dissatisfaction with the emperor.

Then he dropped a bombshell.

It is said that Zhen Yuandao was a hypocritical person who had had too close contact with a barbarian woman in the past. He even favored his concubine over his wife and secretly kept the woman as his mistress.

His furtive behavior is enough to show that he has something to hide, and that is the woman's identity which cannot be made public. I implore the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation.

The emperor listened to every word of E Min's first part, but frowned at the second part. He originally did not intend to pursue the matter for the time being because of Zhen Huan's pregnancy.

How could it be uncovered by E Min? However, it also indirectly shows that Zhen Yuandao is not as honest as he appears to be. These are what have been found out, and there are more that have not been found out.

The emperor issued an order on the spot to throw Zhen Yuandao into prison for interrogation. The Zhen Mansion was placed under the full surveillance of the Imperial Guards, and no relatives were allowed to go out.

This was truly a bolt of thunder in a clear sky. There was no sign of it at all, and everyone in the harem was stunned.

The incident happened suddenly, and it was impossible to conceal it in Yongshou Palace because the gossipy eunuchs had already started talking about it on the street.

It was hard to tell whether Zhen Huan was anxious or angry at this moment. She did not care about her pregnancy, and her first reaction was to go to the Yangxin Palace to find the Emperor to state her grievances.

But when she arrived at the gate of Yangxin Palace, she was stopped by Su Peisheng: "Your Majesty, whether you are anxious or there is something hidden in this matter, it is not appropriate for you to see the emperor at this time."

Zhen Huan was extremely anxious: "Eunuch Su, please help me pass the message again." She took off the jade bracelet in her hand and stuffed it into Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng remembered Zhen Huan's kindness over the past few years and quietly reminded her, "My lady, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that urgent matters should be handled slowly."

Urgent matters should be handled slowly? Zhen Huan was confused.
