Concubine Fang came to Chuxiu Palace quietly before the selection.

Concubine Fang is now experienced and much smarter than when she was in the palace.

She thought carefully about the current situation.

First of all, there is the issue of the emperor's age. He was born in the 45th year of Kangxi's reign and is now 69 years old. The longest-lived emperor of the Qing Dynasty was the late emperor. Even if the emperor could live to 24 like the late emperor, that would only be years.

But there are only six princes now.

The third prince is stupid, the fourth prince was raised in the Old Summer Palace by a humble mother, and the fifth prince is sickly and doesn't like to study. It is almost impossible for these three to reach that position.

On the other hand, Concubine Jin's Sixth Prince was smart since he was a child. He was taken to the front yard by the Emperor to find a teacher for enlightenment when he was less than three years old. Now he is six years old and has officially gone to the Shangshufang to study at the beginning of the first year. It is said that his learning progress is almost surpassing that of the Third Prince, who is eight years older than him. And the Sixth Prince has another advantage, that is, his mother has a good family background.

After the emperor ascended the throne, the former Minister of Works retired and recommended Concubine Jin's father, Lu Xian, as the new Minister of Works. The emperor agreed, so now Concubine Jin is the daughter of a first-rank official.

Qi Fei's father was dismissed from office for corruption during the reign of the previous emperor, so to put it bluntly, Qi Fei is now the daughter of a criminal.

Yupin's father Geng Dejin was a fifth-rank internal supervisor with no great prospects, and he had remained in this position for more than ten years.

He is not as good as Concubine Jin's elder brother Lu Zhengyuan, who is now a fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Revenue. Although they are both fifth-rank, Lu Zhengyuan has a bright future.

Even if new concubines gave birth to children later, they would be more than seven years older than the Sixth Prince. By the time the later princes grew up, the Sixth Prince would have already entered the court.

Besides, the emperor was diligent in government affairs when he was still a prince, and he became even busier after becoming the emperor. She felt that with the emperor's fighting spirit, he might not live longer than the late emperor.

So Concubine Fang temporarily placed her hopes on Lu Yingfeng and the Sixth Prince.

Anyway, the imperial physician said that she would not be able to get pregnant for at least three years. Even if she got pregnant after three years, it would be unknown whether it was a boy or a girl. It would be better for her to rely on Lu Yingfeng for the time being. If she really gave birth to a little prince one day, then she would talk about it later.

However, although the two formed an alliance, it was not so obvious. Unlike the former Queen and Concubine Qi, and now Concubine Hua and Concubine Li, they wanted to have secret talks every day, and it was obvious that they were in the same party.

The two of them were just interacting normally, without deliberately avoiding each other, and they didn't meet often. They just treated each other like ordinary concubines. Lu Yingfeng treated her no differently than a neutral and nice person like Jingpin, and no one could tell that the two of them were "secretly having an affair."

Yes, even though she knew that the queen was not a good person, Concubine Qi still turned to the queen.

Lu Yingfeng didn't need to think too much to know that the Queen must have set up a pact for Concubine Qi to let Hongshi succeed to the throne.

A check of the surveillance footage showed that this was indeed the case.

Given the Queen's current position in Yinzhen's heart, anyone with a brain would not believe what the Queen says.

But Concubine Qi believed it and thought that the Queen must have the ability to do it, so she now follows the Queen's lead.

Lu Yingfeng just let it go and didn't intend to do anything about it.

One of them is unhappy and the other is brainless. They can't accomplish anything great and will instead make Yinzhen unhappy. Why should she stop them?

This time, because the Queen was under house arrest, there was no need to give Concubine Hua a beautiful palace maid to arouse dislike, and there was no incident of taking advantage of Concubine Hua.

The musk kernels were also dug out in advance by Zeng Youming.

But because of Xia Dongchun's beating, Zhen Huan still pretended to be sick to avoid favor as shown in the drama.

Fang Chunyi also moved from Suiyuxuan to Yanxi Palace.

It seems that some things cannot escape the shackles of the plot.

Lu Yingfeng quietly placed a surveillance camera in Suiyuxuan. This was her eighth surveillance camera. If she wanted more, she would have to continue spending points to buy them, or withdraw the surveillance cameras from other places.

However, the palace does not need so many surveillance cameras for the time being. After the Queen, the Queen Mother, and Concubine Hua are gone, it will be even easier to use them, so there should be no need to buy another set of surveillance cameras.

After the new bride had been sleeping with him for more than a month, Yinzhen still chose Shen Meizhuang, who had a good family background and good character, to learn palace affairs. Lu Yingfeng knew that Yinzhen was afraid of her, so she took the initiative to return the palace power on the grounds of being unwell, which surprised Yinzhen and made him feel very satisfied.

At the same time, it may be because she saw that Fangpin had grown a little smarter than before, so she let Fangpin learn with her. Anyway, Fangpin was very courageous. She had been against Hua Fei since she was in the palace. Even though she was one level lower than Hua Fei, she was still not afraid of her.

Lu Yingfeng was happy to see this happen. Fangpin was her person, and if Fangpin had power in the palace, it meant that she had power in the palace.

This is the benefit of not exposing the alliance.

Just like Concubine Li, she was also a concubine, but Yinzhen never considered her.

Hua Fei was very dissatisfied with this, but since it was Yin Zhen's order, she could only agree to it, but she thought of various ways to make things difficult for her. Fangpin dared to push Hua Fei's difficulties away, but Shen Meizhuang did not dare to do so. Therefore, since she got the task of learning palace affairs, Shen Meizhuang has been miserable.

Concubine Fang also asked Lu Yingfeng whether he could win over Shen Meizhuang.

Lu Yingfeng immediately said no and told her two reasons.

First, Shen Meizhuang's heart and eyes are filled with only Zhen Huan, and Zhen Huan is more important to her than the Shen family.

Second, Shen Meizhuang is proud of her good family background and is very arrogant. Sooner or later, she will suffer because of this arrogance.

Fangpin was very confused, "How could Zhen Huan be as important as her family? Is Shen Meizhuang mentally ill?"

Lu Yingfeng laughed and shook his head, thinking that you don’t understand what the halo of the heroine is.

But Shen Meizhuang is indeed mentally ill.

She entered the palace with the honor of her family, so she should find a way to gain favor, or wait until she climbs to a high position and live out her retirement like Concubine Jing. At least she will not drag down her family, and her family will also feel respectable when they know that she is the main queen.

But Shen Meizhuang, not only did she fall into the Queen's trap of mung bean soup, she even took the initiative to propose reducing the palace's share by half.

She was the daughter of a wealthy family, she had never had to worry about food and clothing, how could she have thought about how the servants lived. The deduction of the quota had always happened, and she even proposed to reduce it by half.

Even Concubine Hua didn't eat well. Lu Yingfeng didn't dare to think whether the unknown Grand Madams, Grand Chamberlains, and Grand Noble Ladies of the late emperor would starve to death.

These masters were all having a hard time, and the servants were not much better off. Nine out of ten people in the palace resented Shen Meizhuang for this action.

Later, Concubine Hua and Concubine Cao designed her to fake pregnancy to win favor. She easily trusted the imperial physician Liu Bin, who was hired by Concubine Hua, just because he was from the same hometown as her. Then she fell into their trap without taking a wrong step.

It stands to reason that if a concubine faked pregnancy to win favor, she would be sent to the cold palace at best, or even bring trouble to her mother's family at worst. Yinzhen actually knew that Shen Meizhuang had fallen into a trap, but he was just angry at her for being so careless and unintelligent.

Shen Meizhuang felt that even if there was no evidence to prove that she was wronged, Yinzhen should still believe her, but Yinzhen demoted her to a concubine and put her in solitary confinement. So she resented Yinzhen from then on, and even though she was later cleared of her grievances and restored to her position, she still dared to treat Yinzhen coldly.

You have to know that Yinzhen is the emperor!

How could Shen Meizhuang have the guts to turn her back on the emperor? Wasn't she afraid that Yinzhen would demote her and take it out on her family?

But Shen Meizhuang didn't care about anything. When Zhen Huan went to Lingyun Peak, she drugged Princess Wen Yi in order to pass a message to Zhen Huan at Lingyun Peak. This was a serious crime that was enough to send her to the cold palace.

In order to have her own people in the Imperial Observatory, Zhen Huan gave a little hint and Shen Meizhuang drugged the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory, which was another serious crime.

As for her treatment of Yinzhen, she treated him coldly from the second year of Yongzheng's reign to the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign. Finally, she took the initiative to restore his favor in order to register her child with Wen Shichu.

He totally disregarded the lives of his family members and committed the heinous crime of defiling the harem and confusing the royal bloodline, which was punishable by the execution of nine generations of his clan.

Lu Yingfeng didn’t know whether Shen Meizhuang was just so stupid or was always trapped under the halo of the heroine.

But no matter which one it was, she couldn't even avoid such a person, so how could she accept him as her own?

In fact, among the newcomers, Lu Yingfeng was only interested in An Lingrong.

But An Lingrong is a sensitive person. If you don't pay attention, she will think too much, and it will be very tiring to get along with her.

In the future, unless there was really no one else available, Lu Yingfeng would not plan to win over An Lingrong.
