Hearing this, there was actually a smile in Zhen Huan's eyes, as if she was thinking of something happy.

Zhen Huan said, "These are all specially given by the Emperor. The Emperor treats me very well. The silver charcoal was given to Liu Zhu and Huan Bi."

After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something and shut his mouth awkwardly, but he did not say anything about sending some charcoal to Shen Meizhuang.

Shen Meizhuang sighed but did not ask Zhen Huan for it.

Although since Zhen Huan became favored, the payment of the allowance from Xianfu Palace was not as smooth as before. But with Jingpin helping Shen Meizhuang, life was still the same as before.

Shen Meizhuang recalled her past life, when Zhen Huan pretended to be sick to avoid being favored. Because she was not favored, her share of Sui Yuxuan was withheld, and it was Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong who found ways to help her.

Now, perhaps because Shen Meizhuang has been indifferent since the selection, she doesn't treat Zhen Huan as warmly as in her previous life, so Zhen Huan has never thought about helping Shen Meizhuang.

The alliance was not reached and the two parted unhappily, but Shen Meizhuang didn't feel anything.

On the way back to Xianfu Palace, Shen Meizhuang kept thinking of what her aunt said about having a softer waist, as the emperor would like it.

But now, Concubine Hua is at the peak of her power and it is not the time to compete for favor. It is better to lie low for now.

Concubine Hua still makes things difficult for Zhen Huan and occasionally finds fault with Xia Dongchun.

With the thoughtful An Lingrong by her side, Xia Dongchun did not suffer any serious injuries.

The emperor was really a bad person. He couldn't deal with Nian Gengyao in the previous dynasty, but he used women as a raft to deal with Concubine Hua in the harem.

It was obvious that as long as Nian Gengyao fell, Concubine Hua would die without anyone having to deal with her, but the emperor just wanted to drag innocent people into it to suffer.

Zhen Huan still had to use it. After being slapped, she became more motivated. She dragged Fang Chunyi out to compete for favor. Fang Chunyi, who had not yet turned 15 after the Chinese New Year, was soon favored and became Concubine Chun.

Although Zhen Huan felt bitter, she also gained real power in the palace. She dug a piece of meat out of Concubine Hua's mouth.

Soon, Zhen Huan fell into the water, still in the Thousand Carp Pond.

Zhen Huan, who woke up from falling into the water, continued to compete with Concubine Hua. She asked the emperor to replace the guards of Yikun Palace, and took the opportunity to bring down the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The emperor was very satisfied with Zhen Huan's fighting ability and wanted to make her a concubine, but the queen persuaded him in time and let Zhen Huan enjoy the treatment of a concubine.

Although Zhen Huan fell into the water, she recovered quickly thanks to Wen Shichu's presence.

Concubine Chun still listens to Zhen Huan as always, and still behaves like a child after sleeping with her.

It was midsummer and the emperor took everyone to the Old Summer Palace.

All the concubines in the harem went this time, including An Lingrong and Fang Chunyi, who did not go with them in their previous life.

Shen Meizhuang still lives in Xianyue Pavilion, Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong live together, and Zhen Huan moves into Bitong Academy with Fang Chunyi.

Shen Meizhuang's life was uneventful. She had been in the Old Summer Palace for a month, and the emperor had not summoned her once.

Zhen Huan and Fang Chunyi took away most of the favor, and Concubine Hua was furious. But seeing that the emperor favored Zhen Huan, she did not dare to target her openly. She called Concubine Cao over, and the two discussed for a long time before preparing to take action.

Before Wen Yi's birthday banquet, Concubine Cao invited Zhen Huan and Fang Chunyi to the banquet.

Meanwhile, a fish soup was served, and Zhen Huan and Fang Chunyi vomited at the same time.

When Concubine Cao saw this, she was stunned for a moment, then she congratulated the couple on their pregnancy as planned and asked someone to inform the emperor.

Zhen Huan calmly invited Wen Shichu to take her pulse. After taking her pulse, Wen Shichu said, "Congratulations, young lady. You are already more than a month pregnant."
