After exchanging marriage with my elder sister, I won with a bad hand.

Once a person wakes up, he will become very calm. It's not that he doesn't love me anymore, but there are many more things between them. I have always known this and warned myself before.

But people are always greedy. Once they have something, they want to keep it forever.

After calming down and looking back on the past, sometimes I find it unbelievable, and even wonder how I could have been so stupid in the past.

Shen Yihuan still met with Zhao Xun's concubines as usual. That was her job. Even though she was pregnant and not feeling well, she did not take a single day off.

The favored concubine Hui Meiren probably felt that Zhao Xun no longer entered the Queen's palace recently and was even more fond of her, so she began to become a little spoiled and no longer took the Queen seriously.

She is a person who loves to show off, just like the stupid beauty Lady Xu. She is secretly competing with Shen Yihuan.

So, when she came to pay her respects that day, she was deliberately late. Shen Yihuan didn't want to argue with her, but in her opinion, she was easy to bully.

This idiot didn't give Shen Yihuan any face in front of so many concubines.

Shen Yihuan looked at her coldly, with an expression on her face, as if she was looking at a dead person. This frightened Concubine Xu, one of the concubines, and she shrank back timidly.

After being beaten with the cane twenty times last time, she really learned her lesson. Although she was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites, the other party was not the daughter of the Prime Minister. In terms of status, she was not as good as the other party. In terms of means, she was not the opponent of the other party, so after one round, she gave up.

Now, apart from being a little afraid of Shen Yihuan, most of the time she was gloating, wanting to see those concubines who didn't know how to live or die come out and make trouble for the queen.

"Come here, slap me."

"You, how dare you? I am now His Majesty's most beloved concubine."

Shen Yi smiled, stared at her and said, "Just see if I dare or not?"

After saying that, several burly men walked silently towards Hui Meiren, with unfriendly and murderous looks on their faces.

Lady Hui immediately became timid, and retreated while saying in panic: "You, you can't hit me, it's my majesty..."

Before she could finish her words, two maids grabbed her hands and slapped her in the face without saying a word.

There was a loud and crisp snap.

"You, you dare to hit me. His Majesty will not let you go if he finds out."

"Keep beating her. Make her face swollen." Shen Yihuan said these cruel words in an extremely calm tone.

Those maids also listened to Shen Yihuan very much. Whatever she said was what it was, and they slapped her in the face without any hesitation.

Soon, Hui Meiren's beautiful face was swollen beyond recognition.

She was in tears and sobbing, unable to utter a coherent word. She looked extremely miserable.

The concubines lying down were silent as a cicada, not daring to make a sound.

"You have seen today that this is the price of provoking me. If you are not afraid of death, come and give it a try."

When Shen Yihuan's eyes swept over, the concubines stood up quickly: "Empress, I dare not."

"Okay, there's nothing else to do today, let's go." Shen Yihuan said, waved his hand and left.

No one dared to look at the unlucky Concubine Hui anymore. They had clearly seen the Queen's methods before, but she refused to give up. Don't you think this is courting death?

However, some people were thinking that the relationship between the emperor and the empress had not been very good recently, and His Majesty always went to Concubine Hui and doted on her very much.

However, will His Majesty make the decision for Lady Hui? If so, it means that the Queen's position is not unshakable.

In addition to Lady Hui herself, of course there were also a number of concubines who wanted to know about this matter.

Compared to others who were enjoying the show, the people in Shen Yihuan's palace were a little worried. It was really that His Majesty had been too cold to the Queen recently, not even looking at her. It seemed that the affection they had in the past had disappeared in an instant. It was said that men were the most fickle and the most easily tired of the old and loved the new. It was actually quite good that their Queen had been favored by His Majesty for three years.

When everyone talked about this worry to Shen Yihuan, she didn't take it seriously.

Everyone thought that she was confident that Zhao Xun had a lot of respect for her. But no one expected that she just didn't expect it anymore. If you expect too much and are too stubborn, you will easily get stuck in a dead end.

After thinking it through, it was just that simple. People might be able to connect with each other temporarily, but time is a terrible thing. She couldn't guarantee that Zhao Xun would remain loyal to her for the rest of his life.

This was something she had never dared to think about when she was in love, but when the time came, she would have to face it.

If Zhao Xun really loves the new and dislikes the old and doesn't care about old feelings, then don't blame her for taking her heart back.

The feelings between two people should be two-way. This is also something she has thought clearly about these days. As long as she thinks clearly about this, she, who was originally in the fog of feelings, suddenly feels that the situation in front of her is suddenly clear, and the things that she had been unable to figure out before have become particularly clear at this moment.

Perhaps, she has grown up. Of course, she is sober now. To say that she doesn't love Zhao Xun anymore is not true. She just loves herself more.

People often get caught up in the maze of emotions and lose themselves. This was the case with her some time ago. Now, she, the lost lamb, has finally gotten back on track.

The result was beyond everyone's expectation. When Concubine Hui reported the Queen's misdeeds to Zhao Xun, she not only did not receive any sympathy, but on the contrary angered the Emperor and was punished to be confined to her house for three months. Someone spread the news that if it weren't for the fact that she was beaten so badly, Zhao Xun would have punished her even more severely.

At this time, the army of his father and brother had already set out and had left the capital long ago.

Zhao Xun did this to support Shen Yihuan and tell everyone in the harem that the queen is the queen, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, and no one in the harem can offend her.

When the news came, Shen Yihuan was sitting leisurely in the room, embroidering a bellyband for her unborn child with her face full of maternal radiance.

Yaoguang sat beside her obediently, holding a piece of cloth in her hand, imitating her. However, she was still young, and the things she embroidered were crooked and ugly.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has punished you with house arrest for three months."

"Yeah, I understand." Shen Yihuan replied indifferently, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Yaoguang listened from the side and interrupted, "Father, this is more like it."

She has always been a smart kid, and she inherited Shen Yihuan's intelligence, so she doesn't need anyone to explain things too clearly, and she understands almost everything after just a little guidance.

It is said that children from poor families grow up early, and children like them in the palace are all very precocious.
