An epidemic broke out in the palace, and Zhen Huan was extremely scared with her big belly.

She ran to the emperor to beg him to let Wen Shichu protect her pregnancy. The emperor agreed on the surface, but he had murderous intentions in his heart.

After investigating the incident in the Old Summer Palace, Xia Qian also discovered that Zhen Huan had an unclear relationship with Wen Shichu before entering the palace.

At that time, the emperor wanted to kill Wen Shichu, but seeing that Wen Shichu was an excellent doctor, he temporarily postponed this idea. Now seeing that Zhen Huan still wanted Wen Chu to enter the palace to protect the fetus, he sentenced Wen Shichu to death in his heart.

After Wen Shichu entered the palace, in addition to protecting Zhen Huan's fetus, he also researched prescriptions for treating epidemics.

Before Zhen Huan gave birth, Wen Shichu handed over the prescription for treating the epidemic.

After the epidemic was under control, the emperor felt that he could not kill such a skilled doctor for a dissolute woman. In addition to rewarding Wen Shichu with a promotion, he also appointed Wen Shichu as an imperial physician.

Zhen Huan died of hemorrhage after giving birth to the third princess, and before her death, she gave the princess to Shen Meizhuang to raise.

The emperor did not object and appointed Shen Meizhuang as a concubine and asked her to move to the east side hall of Suiyuxuan.

Geng Yuebin arrived a step too late and failed to grab the child.

The emperor bestowed the title of Princess Shunding on the third princess, and did not give her the title of Princess Heshuo.

Shen Meizhuang took so many secret medicines to conceive, but still couldn't get pregnant. However, she became more and more plump, and she loved Princess Shunding very much.

As soon as Zhen Huan died, Huanbi was brought to Shen Meizhuang's side.

Shen Meizhuang didn't know Huanbi's identity and just thought she was a maid who grew up with Zhen Huan.

Thinking of the dead Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang gave Huanbi the title of chief palace maid and asked her to take care of Princess Shunding.

Huanbi also took into consideration the sisterly love and did her best to take care of Princess Shunding.

A few years later, several concubines of lower rank in the palace became pregnant, and those who were lucky enough to give birth to children were all princesses. However, these people died after giving birth for a while.

It was not until Hongli was sixteen years old that the emperor made Hongli the crown prince and conferred the title of prince on Hongshi.

At the same time, he conferred titles on the concubines in the harem, and Concubine Li (Li Jingyan) was given the title of Qi, becoming Concubine Qi.

Jingpin was promoted to concubine, and was named Jingfei.

Concubine Xin was promoted to concubine, and became Concubine Xin.

Nianpin was given the title Hua and became Huapin.

Concubine Geng (Geng Yuebin) was granted the title Duan and became Concubine Duan.

Concubine Ma Jia was promoted to concubine and given the title Rong, becoming Concubine Rong.

Borjigit noble lady was promoted to concubine and given the title of Zhen, becoming Zhenpin.

Concubine Rou (Fuzi) was promoted to concubine and became Concubine Rou.

Fu Cha Chang was a noble lady in Jin, and was given the title Yan, becoming Noble Lady Yan.

Guaerjia Chang was a noble lady in Jin and was given the title Shu, hence Shu Guiren.

Li Chang was a noble lady in Jin, and was known as Li Noble Lady.

Hui Changzai (Shen Meizhuang) was promoted to noble lady, and became Hui Noble Lady.

He Da Ying (An Lingrong) was promoted to Changzai, and became He Changzai.

Xia Ying and Fang Ying were promoted to Changzai, while the other Ying were not promoted.

As soon as the imperial decree of promotion was issued, the harem was filled with joy.

In the past few years, no one except Concubine Rou has been promoted, but no one dares to complain.

I have been in the palace for several years but there has been no news of pregnancy. I am lucky that the emperor has not punished me.

The emperor reigned for another six years and died when Hongli was 22 years old.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, he honored Yixiu as the empress dowager, and Jingfei was given the title of noble dowager, and she moved into the Cining Palace with Yixiu.

Concubine Qi was named Concubine Dowager and lived outside the palace with Hongshi.

Concubine Xin was named Concubine Dowager and followed Princess Shuhe out of the palace and lived in the princess's mansion.

Shen Meizhuang was not lucky enough to leave the palace, and Princess Shunding had already been decided to be adopted when she turned fifteen.

The new emperor arranged for Shen Meizhuang to live in Changchun Garden to raise Princess Shunding.

The other concubines were all given the title of Tai before their titles and squeezed into Shoukang Palace together.

After taking the position of empress dowager, the depression that had been lingering in Yixiu's heart dissipated.

The inferiority complex of being a concubine's daughter also disappeared at this moment.

Standing at the pinnacle of power, Yixiu finally understood why God allowed him to be reborn.

From then on, as the woman with the most noble status in the country, Yixiu began her honorable life as the empress dowager.
