The ship was still sailing slowly out to sea, and the story in the capital was still going on. Although Yinqi and the others were not in the capital, they had not forgotten to pay attention to the affairs in the palace.

Since Yongzheng returned to Beijing, the Queen learned that Yinqi had contracted a temporary illness and had left the palace to recuperate.

The queen became very excited after hearing the news. In an instant, she felt that her waist and legs were no longer sore, and she could even eat one more bowl of rice.

And every day after that, she would go to the small Buddhist temple to pray for Yinqi. Of course, she didn't pray for Yinqi's safety. She prayed that Yinqi would die quickly so that he wouldn't come out occasionally to ruin her good deeds.

In the harem, Concubine Nian was no longer burdened by her brother. After being restored to the throne, she still competed with the Queen in wits and courage every day. Occasionally, when someone was more favored than her, she would call that person to teach him a lesson. Moreover, because of Jinxiu's existence, she gradually distanced herself from Concubine Cao.

Concubine Qi still follows the Queen as her mindless thug every day, but what she doesn't know is that the Queen has already set her sights on her son and is just waiting for an opportunity to get rid of him and then adopt the Third Prince as a natural consequence.

Unfortunately, the Queen could not see clearly one thing, that is, Hongshi was too stupid, and Yongzheng, who already had five sons, would never let him ascend the throne.

Moreover, Yongzheng always thought that he would live a long life like his father Kangxi, so among the three grown-up princes, he did not consider letting any of them inherit the throne, otherwise he would not have paid so little attention to them.

Concubine Jing and Concubine Yu still eat, drink and take care of the children every day. The only change is that before only Concubine Xin followed them, but now that Concubine Shun has a child, except for Concubine Yu's Hongzhou, the children of the rest of the people are not much different in age, so she also joined them.

Concubine Fang Niuhulu was still the most favored person in the palace besides Concubine Hua. And she was not like Zhen Huan, who became arrogant and interfered in state affairs after being favored by Emperor Yongzheng.

She was a smart person. She saw through Yongzheng's coldness and understood her own position, so she always stayed by Yongzheng's side as a sweet talker. If the position of four concubines had not been filled and no one was worthy of the position of noble concubine, she might have been promoted to concubine long ago.

Concubine Duan was still sick and was determined to seek revenge on Nian Shilan, so when Concubine Jin Shen Meizhuang went to the Imperial Garden to relax one day, Concubine Duan got in touch with her, and then took the opportunity to become acquainted with Zhen Huan, who was still struggling for the position of a concubine.

The three of them gathered in her remote Yanqing Palace every day to whisper to each other, always ready to bring down Concubine Hua and avenge themselves.

From the beginning, Jipin Borjigit knew that she could only be a mascot by marrying into the royal family, and it was impossible for Yongzheng to let her get pregnant.

So after four years in the palace, when she couldn't get along with the people in the palace, Concubine Ji finally couldn't stand the same palace life day after day for a hundred years, and applied to live in the Old Summer Palace with Yongzheng.

From then on, he went out to run horses and eat barbecue every day and lived a very carefree life.

Yongzheng, who was missed by the entire harem, became busier after Yinqi left, and rarely went to the harem.

Even if he went to the harem on weekdays, he would at most stay at the residences of Concubine Nian and Concubine Fang. The rest of the time he would occasionally stay at the residences of a few people vying for favor.

And those who are vying for favor are, of course, our heroine Wan Changzai Zhen Huan, as well as the newly favored Concubine Chun Fang Jia Chun Yi, and An Da Ying who can only survive by relying on favor, plus Concubine Ru Guaerjia who was recommended to the palace by the Queen this year.

Yes, although our Miss Gualiu no longer had the title of a meritorious official, she was still brought into the palace by the Queen. Of course, she had a legitimate excuse.

"Your Majesty, you have already been wronged by cancelling the selection held every three years. There are not many sisters in the palace now, and you must consider the royal heir. Moreover, the late emperor once said that you should put the royal heir first. In the harem, besides me, only Sister Fangpin is of the Manchu military flag.

So please consider for the sake of the heir, Your Majesty, whether you can take another sister of the Manchu military flag into the palace?"

Today was the first time that Yongzheng came to Jingren Palace for dinner after more than half a year. The Empress knew in her heart that now was not a good time to talk about this, but if she didn't say it now, she didn't know when she would see the Emperor again.

After hearing the Queen's suggestion, Yongzheng, who had just finished a bowl of old duck soup, felt that the meal was tasteless. However, he did not just turn away. Instead, he frowned slightly, put down the bowl and asked.

"Why, has someone chosen the queen?"

Seeing that the emperor did not directly refuse even though his tone was a little wrong, the queen silently thought about the promise made by Lady Guarjia to her, then gritted her teeth and continued to speak with a smile on her face.

"I met with the wife of the chief of the Guarjia clan a few days ago. She said that there was a young woman in the family of Lord Emin in their clan. She was old enough to participate in the election in the first year, but unfortunately she was delayed due to illness. I saw her portrait and she is very beautiful. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

When Yongzheng heard that she was Emin's daughter, his mind turned several corners. Although he did not value women, who doesn't like beautiful women? In addition, since Prince Li was deposed a few years ago, the Guwaljia clan suffered a severe blow.

Even though Prince Li is now very much valued by the emperor, there are still very few officials from their clan in the previous dynasty, and E Min is one of the few who can be used and he has an impression of him, so after a little consideration, Yongzheng agreed to the queen's proposal.

"Then let's do as the Queen says."

The next day, when Guwalgia Emin received the imperial edict, he was extremely happy.

Who doesn't want to soar to the sky without any effort one day? Now that he has finally seized the opportunity, how could he turn back? Not to mention for himself, but for the sake of his family, he is very willing and even hopes that a woman from his family can enter the palace.

Although his daughter is not very smart, what's the use of being too smart? For a concubine, isn't it enough for her to be obedient and beautiful?

So with the memorial from the Guaerjia clan and the efforts of the Queen, our Noble Lady Ru Guaerjia Wenyuan finally entered the palace. But because Concubine Qi was still alive in this life, and Qi and Qi have the same pronunciation, this time she got the position of Noble Lady Ru and entered the palace.

After our noble lady Ru entered the palace, under the guidance of Jianqiu, it took her less than three days to begin to be truly respectful to our queen, the hero who had enabled her to successfully enter the palace.

Because this time Zhen Huan is no longer the favored Concubine Wan in the harem, and because of her despicable means, she is looked down upon by most of the concubines in the harem, so this time she doesn't even need to pretend, and directly becomes a rival to Zhen Huan and others.

From then on, the harem was clearly divided into three factions: the baby-raising and leisure faction headed by Concubine Jing and Concubine Yu, the abortion faction headed by the Queen, and the favor-grabbing faction composed of Concubine Hua and others.

Every day, people are deceiving each other and fighting for the emperor's favor and palace power. Today, you trip me up, and tomorrow, I snatch your favor. It's so lively, and people's positions rise and fall. Of course, several major events have happened.
