After leaving Yonghe Palace, Zhang Mi immediately went to Jingren Palace to report the news that Concubine Chun was pregnant.

Naturally, the Queen had to take action.

Anyway, as long as Concubine Chun did not reveal her pregnancy, she had to come to Jingren Palace to pay her respects every day.

The Queen merely sprinkled a few drops of oil at the gate of Yonghe Palace, and Concubine Chun had a miscarriage.

After losing three children in succession, Yinzhen was almost exhausted and came to Xianfu Palace again to hug his fat son to comfort himself.

However, to Feng Ruozhao's regret, the empress dowager's mentality might have been trained well, and she did not suffer a complete stroke.

By summer, the heat in the Forbidden City was unbearable, so Yinzhen ordered everyone to go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the heat.

The entourage included the Empress, four concubines, Concubine Li, Concubine Rou, Noble Lady Hui, Noble Lady Fucha, Noble Lady Borjigit, Noble Lady Cao, Concubine Xin, as well as princes and princesses.

After Noble Concubine Rou and Noble Concubine Chun lost their children, the Empress Dowager decided to promote them to the rank of concubines. Now Concubine Chun still lives in Yonghe Palace, while Concubine Rou has moved to Jingyang Palace.

This time when she came to the Old Summer Palace, Concubine Chun did not come because she was in confinement after giving birth.

The remaining ones who had never slept with the emperor, Zhen Huan, An Lingrong and Fang Chunyi, did not come.

Feng Ruozhao originally thought that without the heroine Zhen Huan, life in the Old Summer Palace would be peaceful and comfortable.

Unexpectedly, the Queen actually recommended Zhen Huan to dance the Jinghong Dance at Princess Wen Yi's first birthday party.

Feng Ruozhao clearly saw that Concubine Hua and Noble Cao both had cold faces.

Concubine Hua was angry that the Queen pushed Zhen Huan to share her favor, while Concubine Cao felt that Zhen Huan's sudden appearance stole her daughter's limelight, and she was so angry that her nostrils dilated.

Before, when Concubine Rou and Concubine Chun were around, Yinzhen had completely forgotten about Zhen Huan.

Now, seeing Zhen Huan dancing the stunning dance in gorgeous dance costume under the careful training of the Queen, I felt as if I saw Chun Yuan from many years ago.

My eyes were straight.

As soon as the dance ended, Yinzhen smiled and said, "I remember you. You are my concubine."

Zhen Huan knelt down and saluted, "I am the concubine of the Zhen family. I pay my respects to the emperor. May the emperor be blessed with good health."

If Feng Ruozhao had never bought smart voice surveillance in his life, he would not have known that Zhen Huan had already defected to the Queen.

But it’s understandable if you think about it.

Life without favor in the harem is very sad. Zhen Yuandao is only a fourth-rank official and his family property is not much, so he can't support Zhen Huan's expenses in the harem. In order to survive in the harem, Zhen Huan has to fight.

Feng Ruozhao didn't care who Yinzhen favored. Anyway, without her help, they wouldn't be able to give birth.

Unlike Concubine Rou and Concubine Chun who could hardly read, Zhen Huan was well-read and was known as the female Zhuge Liang in the boudoir. She was proficient in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The more Yinzhen came into contact with Zhen Huan, the more he felt that she was like Queen Chunyuan.

Therefore, Zhen Huan was soon promoted to a noble lady. In the Old Summer Palace, except for the first and fifteenth days of the month, Yinzhen wished to summon Zhen Huan to sleep with him every day.

Concubine Hua had never expected that Zhen Huan would be so favored.

She wanted to get rid of Zhen Huan as soon as possible, but she was at the peak of her popularity, and if she took action against her, she would definitely incur Yinzhen's disgust.

Since Concubine Hua couldn't deal with Zhen Huan, she turned her attention to Zhen Huan's good sister Shen Meizhuang.

Concubine Hua wanted to take action against Shen Meiyu, so she asked Concubine Cao for advice. It just so happened that Concubine Cao also didn't like Zhen Huan's behavior at Wen Yi's full moon banquet. She also heard that Shen Meiyu was looking for a secret recipe for having a child recently, so she gave Concubine Hua the idea of ​​faking pregnancy.

False pregnancy is late but it arrives.

When Feng Ruozhao learned that Concubine Cao was inviting him, Concubine Qi, Concubine Rou, and Concubine Xin to a banquet, he guessed what she was going to do.

Because she only invited concubines who were pregnant or had been pregnant before.

Under the effect of the added sour plum soup, Shen Meizhuang immediately began to dry heave.

Concubine Cao: "What happened to Concubine Hui?"

Shen Meizhuang suppressed her nausea and smoothed her chest. After a moment, she replied, "I don't know why I feel nauseous after drinking this sour plum soup."

Xin Changzai looked at the sour plum soup she had almost finished and asked, "Is Concubine Hui's period still on schedule?"

Shen Meizhuang thought for a moment and replied, "It's about six or seven days late."

Concubine Qi curled her lips, "Is she pregnant again?"

Later, with the cooperation of imperial physician Liu Bin, Shen Meizhuang was diagnosed with pregnancy.

When the Queen heard the news and rushed over, she had already thought about how to abort the baby. But when she saw Concubine Hua, who had also heard the news, with a smile on her face, and she looked at her lackey Cao Qinmo, she knew that there was something wrong with Shen Meizhuang's baby.

Suddenly I felt relaxed.

If it was Shen Meizhuang's first pregnancy and the Queen tried to stop Yinzhen from getting promoted, he would have listened.

But this was the second time, and Yinzhen was so happy that he immediately promoted Shen Meizhuang to Huipin and said that he would allocate Yongshou Palace for her to live in.

Shen Meizhuang had lost a child once, so she was extra cautious this time.

But she didn't know that even the abortion captain queen didn't bother to care about her.

Because she wasn't pregnant at all.

After Concubine Hua and Cao Qinmo sang, recited, and acted out their fight, Shen Meizhuang was changed from Concubine Hui to Shen Da Ying, and was also put under house arrest.

The Shen family really raised this daughter in vain. Shen Meizhuang has been in the palace for ten months and under house arrest for six months. Now she has to start house arrest again.

Not only did it not bring any honor to the family, but it only brought trouble.

Just based on the reputation of being demoted and confined for faking pregnancy to win favor, no one knows how pitiful the situation of their daughter of the Shen family must be.

However, Hua Fei's strategy is still somewhat useful.

Because Zhen Huan was Shen Meizhuang's good sister, Yinzhen became cold towards her after Zhen Huan pleaded for mercy.

Zhen Huan's favor faded after only a little over a month.

Concubine Hua was very satisfied, but the Queen was unhappy.

So she introduced An Lingrong.

Although An Lingrong looks like a delicate girl, she sings really well.

Especially under the Queen's training, her voice became closer to Chun Yuan's.

Yinzhen liked her so much that he made An Lingrong a concubine the next day after she slept with him.

Concubine Hua originally thought that without Zhen Huan, she would regain the emperor's favor, but because Yinzhen had long guessed that Shen Meiyu's fake pregnancy was framed by Concubine Hua, he did not go to her.

It happened that the Queen recommended An Lingrong, so he poured all his favor on Zhen Huan onto An Lingrong.

Yinzhen really doted on An Lingrong, and he gave all of the five pieces of floating brocade that were newly tributed from Suzhou to An Lingrong.

Although An Lingrong was not well-educated, she still knew that it was a crime to possess a treasure, so after receiving the Fu Guang Brocade, she gave one each to the Queen and Concubine Hua, the two people who held power in the palace, kept one for Shen Meiyu, and gave the remaining two to Zhen Huan, who had taken care of her after the selection and before she entered the palace. She did not keep any for herself.

An Lingrong had good intentions, but she didn't know that after she left, Zhen Huan's face looked bad.

Although Zhen Huan did not have the friendship of praying in the plum garden or playing the flute under the apricot blossoms with Yinzhen, she was highly praised by Yinzhen some time ago and was treated like a favorite concubine. However, Yinzhen gave the same favor to An Lingrong, who was inferior to her in every way. Zhen Huan has always been arrogant and conceited, so how could she be happy?

But Huanbi was still fanning the flames, "Look at her smug look, is she showing off to us just because she's on the tree?"

Zhen Huan glanced at the floating brocade on the table and said, "Okay, stop talking. Take a piece of this floating brocade to make clothes. Remember, don't wear it too ostentatiously."

Huanbi happily accepted the floating brocade, and after making the clothes, she immediately ran to the imperial kitchen to show off.
