"What a good idea!"

"The red plum on Sang'er's head was soaked in cinnabar and albizzia, which is the best for calming the mind and helping sleep. Sister Fucha got up after midnight, and Sang'er was dozing off. He was in a trance and tripped Sister Fucha. It was all an accident."

"It's Sang'er's birthday, so Yu'er gave her a hair flower. It's a reasonable occasion for sisters to have a chance to meet."

"According to palace practice, after a concubine dies, her belongings are either taken back or remade. Everything is in accordance with the rules."

"Yu'er's parents made a mistake and were expelled from the Fucha Mansion early on. Now they have disappeared without a trace."

"The specially made red radish charcoal is mixed with ground beetle powder, which can break up blood and remove blood stasis, and the taste is very similar to the smell of blood."

"We are just one more medicine to promote the flow of qi, and then all the links will be cleared."

"Ordinary things and human nature are just not up to the vicious heart of a vicious person."

"..."

An Lingrong gritted her teeth and revealed the Queen's schemes one by one. Her heart ached every time she spoke. She thought she was cautious enough, yet she had left so many loopholes for the Queen.

Ren Dong thought simply: "Your Majesty, these are all evidences, let's report to the Emperor."

An Lingrong's eyes were filled with hatred, and she sneered, "Just based on this piece of charcoal? Who made the charcoal? Who brought it into the palace? Was it found in my sister's bedroom that night? Rendong, we can only remember this grudge. There will always be a time for her to pay it back."

"I will knock out whatever she cares about the most. Honeysuckle, you should keep an eye on a few things."

Honeysuckle lowered her head and whispered something in An Lingrong's ear.

The next day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought out a group of palace maids from Yonghe Palace.

At night, Baojuan suddenly suffered from hysteria and kept making noise in Yonghe Palace. An evil ghost was looking for her to take her life.

The imperial physician came to diagnose the disease overnight but could not find the cause. In order not to affect An Lingrong's recovery, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had to follow the rules and let her leave the palace and go home.

After that, there was no movement in Yonghe Palace. The palace gates were closed every day, leaving only a corner door for palace servants to go in and out to get medicine.

The other palaces were still bustling, especially the Suiyuxuan, where laughter and joy filled the air every day.

Today was no exception. Amidst the laughter, Chun'er suddenly became sad.

Zhen Huan immediately realized something was wrong and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

For the first time, a sad expression appeared on Chun'er's face: "Sister Wan, I miss home."

Zhen Huan was always good at coaxing her, and she quickly picked up the cake at hand: "This is the milk cake newly made by the kitchen, you try it."

As expected, Chun Er forgot about missing home once she had something delicious to eat, but she was still curious:

"Sister, is there really a baby in your belly?"

Zhen Huan still used the tone of coaxing a baby and said: "Yes, but he is still very small, and even his hands and feet haven't grown yet."

Chun'er became even more curious. She gently placed her hand on Zhen Huan's belly, as if trying to find out something.

Seeing that she really liked children, Zhen Huan joked:

"Since you like him, let him be your nephew."

"Really? I can be his aunt." Chun Er's eyes were shining with joy. She took off the mutton-fat jade bracelet from her hand and put it in Zhen Huan's hand, but her eyes were fixed on Zhen Huan's belly and she said:

"Here, this is a betrothal gift. When you grow up, auntie will give you all the delicious food and will never fight with you for it. Just wait and eat until you become a fat baby," she said, listing a bunch of her favorite snacks.

Chun Er's innocent words made Zhen Huan laugh repeatedly. She raised the bracelet and took a look at it before putting it directly on her hand. She followed Chun Er's words and joked, "Also, your aunt will give birth to many fat babies for you to keep you company."

When Chun'er heard this, she stood up shyly and ran out.

It was rare for Zhen Huan to see Chun'er being so shy, and she was so amused that Fang Ruo also wanted to join in the fun.

Unexpectedly, Chun Er came running in again, poked his head through the curtain and asked:

"Sister, if I give birth to seven or eight children, will it be enough for me to play hide-and-seek with your children?"

She asked frankly, and Zhen Huan smiled sincerely: "That's enough. I can't handle any more."

Chun'er heard a satisfactory answer and finally left with a smile.

Zhen Huan was in a very happy mood all day because of Chun'er.

Fang Ruo was also happy to see this, as a pregnant woman in a good mood is more conducive to fetal health.

After that, Chun'er would go to Zhen Huan from time to time to chat and amuse herself. The more time she went there, the more often she met the emperor, and naturally she had the opportunity to sleep with him.

When someone is favored, someone else will be jealous. In Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua was furious:

"Sui Yuxuan is pregnant, but the emperor is running around all day, which makes Chun Chang lucky enough to be with this little vixen."

Song Zhi rolled her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. Concubine Chun's words and actions are outrageous. Just find a reason to deal with her."

Concubine Hua had this in mind: "At such a young age, she is so charming and pretends to be innocent to win the emperor's favor. I hate people who play tricks like this the most. Keep an eye on her."

Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai quickly agreed.

Time flies and it’s April.

On this day, the emperor went to the Old Summer Palace to handle official business. After finishing his business, he called Yunli to his side:

"Seventeenth brother, how about this painting of Lady Guoguo's Spring Outing?"

Prince Guo took a serious look and commented: "The corners of the eyes and eyebrows are full of charm. The painter at that time was really good at painting."

Seeing that his comments were fair, the emperor nodded and said, "A beauty must be charming and lively, and have feelings and tastes. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful she is, she is just a wooden beauty. What's the point of that?"

These words naturally reminded Yun Li of Zhen Huan, and he blurted out:

"That's why my brother dotes on Wanpin so much."

The emperor did not think too much about why Prince Guo's first reaction was Zhen Huan. Instead, he smiled knowingly and said, "April 17 is Wanpin's birthday. I came to Yuanmingyuan to celebrate it for her and make her happy. However, I was busy with the affairs of the court and I have too many things to do. I have no choice but to ask you to do it for her."

Zhen Huan's birthday? Prince Guo listened more carefully. Although the emperor had treated him well after ascending the throne, emperors had always been suspicious since ancient times, and the current emperor had experienced the cruelty of the nine princes competing for the throne. Although he was both civil and military, and had ambitions, in order to protect himself, he had to be indifferent and restrained in front of the emperor. He was happy to do such romantic things, and if he did it well, it would reduce the emperor's vigilance.

What's more, it was her birthday, so he had to be more attentive.

Prince Guo agreed to the matter and then devoted himself to the task.

Time flies, and it's April 17th in a blink of an eye.

The emperor went to great lengths to invite everyone out of the Forbidden City and celebrate Zhen Huan's birthday at the Peony Pavilion in the Old Summer Palace.

On this day, Zhen Huan was the most favored and the most popular.

In order to make the beauty smile, the emperor made an exception and granted Zhen Huan's mother the third rank.

At this time, Zhen Huan was so dazzled by the emperor's repeated favors that she was distracted and had no idea of ​​the hidden whirlpool behind it.

Prince Guo looked at Zhen Huan from afar, whose face was filled with happiness, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Although he did not participate in politics, he learned a lot of information from other places about the current situation in the court.

Zhen Huan is too glorious today, and I'm afraid she will become a target.

It’s just that he’s not in a reasonable position to convey those concerns.

Sure enough, a few days later, there was news of victory from the Nian family’s war in the southwest.
