Hua Fei's "child" was gone, and the Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager had all achieved their goals.

Using the name of Princess Wen Yi, Cao Qinmo was promoted to concubine and given the title of Xiang.

Hua Fei fell seriously ill, and the emperor felt even more guilty towards her. He also issued an edict to promote her to the rank of noble concubine.

Nian Gengyao is now in a difficult situation and cannot spare the time to protect Concubine Hua.

Just like in his previous life, Zhen Yuandao joined forces with ministers in the previous dynasty to expose Nian Gengyao's crimes.

Zhen Yuyao was not very surprised when he got the news.

At the beginning of the year, Zhen Yuyao asked people outside the palace to bring Prince Guo to Zhen Huan.

The two met while appreciating plum blossoms, and Prince Guo was attracted by Zhen Huan's talent and beauty.

Prince Guo went to Zhen's house twice under the pretext of doing so, and the two met twice more in the mansion.

After that, Zhen Huan frequently met with Prince Guo under the pretext of going out to worship Buddha or meet her good sisters.

Zhen Yuandao knew about this and did not object, but instead remained silent.

Zhen Yuyao waited for several months, but Prince Guo did not ask for permission to grant the marriage, so she knew that her elder sister was still after the best man in the world.

Wen Shichu came over to take Zhen Yuyao's pulse, and Ming'er retreated to the door with a tactful look.

Zhen Yuyao asked softly, "Brother Wen, when will Yuyao start calling you brother-in-law?"

Wen Shichu paused while checking the pulse when he heard this. His cheeks flushed as he said, "It should be soon. Huan'er asked me for the Fairy Jade Girl Powder two days ago. I think she wants it before the wedding..."

Zhen Yuyao retracted his arm, leaned closer and said, "Really? I don't know who the groom is, but I received a letter from home saying that Prince Guo often comes in and out of the mansion."

The blush on Wen Shichu's face disappeared, and he asked blankly, "Prince Guo?"

Seeing Zhen Yuyao nod, Wen Shichu lowered his head and clenched his fists with blue veins bulging.

Zhen Yuyao said, "Speaking of Prince Guo, I heard that Miss Meng from the Duke of Pei's Mansion is very fond of Prince Guo. They could have been a pair of lovers, but now..."

Zhen Yuyao stopped talking halfway and continued, "How can that kind of prince who is always affectionate be compared with Brother Wen? As a prince, I can't give my elder sister a life of a couple. My elder sister must have been deceived, and my father dotes on her too much."

Wen Shichu nodded vigorously and asked, "Then my lady, do you have any way to let me marry Huan'er as soon as possible?"

Zhen Yuyao answered as if she was not answering the question: "I entered the palace for my elder sister because I wanted her to be happy. If my elder sister had entered the palace, then there would really be no chance for you two."

Wen Shichu thought of something and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Zhen Yuyao shook his head gently: "Brother, please don't be so polite. Next time we meet, I hope you can call me brother-in-law."

Wen Shichu and Zhen Yuyao smiled at each other, and they reached a consensus just like they did that day in Shangshan Temple.

Zhen Yuyao stared at the door through which Wen Shichu left, thinking to herself that she must not let herself down.

Half a month later, Nian Gengyao of the previous dynasty was thrown into prison on charges of fifty major crimes.

Wen Shichu also successfully achieved his wish and got engaged to the current second daughter of the Zhen family.

The letter sent by Nanny Cheng said that Wen Shichu's father brought four gifts and stayed in the main courtyard for half an hour, and Zhen Yuandao agreed to the marriage.

Wen Shichu didn't say what it was, and Zhen Yuyao didn't ask. As long as the goal was achieved, the process was not important.

But will the eldest sister just give up?

Zhen Yuyao was not worried, because even honest people have tempers.

There is also someone around my eldest sister who treats her wholeheartedly and can help her realize her dream of being alone for the rest of her life.

Zhen Yuyao also entered the palace in place of her elder sister, a palace that her elder sister did not want to enter.

If the eldest sister still insists on looking for the emperor, who is impossible to treat her wholeheartedly, the eldest sister will be slapping herself in the face, but Zhen Yuyao cannot let the eldest sister be slapped in the face.
