God favors the troublemaker, and the protagonist is forced to become evil

Suddenly, the imperial garden was filled with the singing of birds, the fragrance of flowers, and laughter. The entire imperial city seemed to come alive, with no more dead air or depression lingering around.

Concubine Jing also came to the Imperial Garden because of the eldest prince. Although she was always arrogant, the atmosphere in the Imperial Garden was so beautiful and joyful that she sat on the blanket and ate dessert without realizing it.

By the time she realized what was happening, she had already finished the cup of milk tea. Concubine Jing smiled and shook her head. This seemed to be a good idea.

She waved her hand and called a painter to paint for the sisters.

Just communicate with the artist about what pose you like, and contact them yourself if you want to be in the frame with someone.

At the beginning, everyone was still hesitant and no one came forward to ask the painter to paint for them.

The painter was bored, so he painted the scene of the concubines having fun and eating on the lawn.

Later, Concubine Jing framed the painting and hung it in her own palace.

Seeing that no one was going, Zi Ning took Song Shu and asked the painter to paint.

The two of them stood under the tree, posing in playful gestures, completely ignoring the surprised looks of others.

However, no one paid much attention to them, and soon they started playing again.

The eldest prince was running and playing with the second prince, the concubines were chatting nearby, and there were delicious desserts and drinks, which made Dongfang Yu, who was handling government affairs, very envious.

However, everyone's attention was drawn to the sound of a slap.

"Bitch, how dare you wear red clothes on your sister's death anniversary!" Zi Ning was slapped in the face for no reason and was stunned.

She wore a scarlet dress today, and for some reason she offended the noble man.

"How dare you! How dare you hit my people!" Concubine Xian slapped him back.

She was just posing with Zining under the magnolia tree, and this man rushed up and hit them for no apparent reason. What a psycho.

"How dare you hit me?" Hu Zhaoyi covered her face with one hand and looked at Concubine Xian in disbelief.

She was raised in the palm of her hand, with everything provided for her, and no one in her family ever said a harsh word to her.

"Hmph, I am the first-rank virtuous concubine appointed by the emperor himself. How can I not beat you, a second-rank Zhaoyi? But you, taking advantage of your power to bully others, even dared to beat a pregnant concubine. What crime should you be punished for? Someone, go and report to His Majesty." The virtuous concubine became more and more powerful, and she took command of the overall situation, not giving Hu Zhaoyi any chance to escape.

Zining stood aside feeling aggrieved, while Yamodai supported her and let Zining lean on her.

Her hand gently stroked Zining's back, as if to comfort her.

Hu Zhaoyi was so angry that she couldn't deal with Concubine Xian. Wasn't she worthy of beating and scolding a little Rong Hua?

"Stop pretending. You just have a piece of meat in your belly, but you are using chicken feathers as a token of authority. I just slapped you. Your belly will be fine!"

Hu Zhaoyi turned the gun around, pointed at Zining and cursed, gritting her teeth.

All the concubines gathered around. Although they wanted to help, they did not dare to do so due to their low status.

What's more, the Hu family is so powerful that we cannot afford to offend them easily.

"Hu Zhaoyi, why do you have to be like this? Not everyone knows your sister's death anniversary, and the new sisters don't know it at all. Ignorance is not a crime. Besides, Your Majesty already has a successor, who dares to mention the Empress Dowager?" They were afraid of Hu Zhaoyi, but Concubine Jing was not. She said whatever she wanted to say without any taboos.

"You!" Hu Zhaoyi was extremely angry. These concubines actually dared to disrespect her sister. It was true that when people left, the tea was forgotten.

"The Emperor has arrived!" the eunuch sang.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." The concubines bowed and saluted, their movements smooth and their voices in unison.

"My beloved, what happened?" Dongfang Yu spotted Zining in the crowd. Her left cheek was red, and the mark of a slap could be vaguely seen.

"Your Majesty." Zi Ning threw herself into Dongfang Yu's arms, calling out with a slightly crying tone, which made Dongfang Yu heartbroken.

Song Shu said at the side: “Yo yo yo…”

Things are different now that you have a backer.

Song Shu stood up and recounted what had happened.

Dongfang Yu was very angry when he heard this. His Ningning was actually beaten?

She is so kind, gentle and loved by everyone, yet she was beaten?

There must be something wrong with that person's brain.

"Hu Zhaoyi, you are too outrageous! You actually dared to beat a pregnant concubine. Are you going to beat me tomorrow?" Dongfang Yu was furious. Although he stopped his rage, he could still hear the speaker's emotions from his voice.

"Your Majesty! Today is my sister's death anniversary. I couldn't bear to see this..." Hu Zhaoyi knelt down in fear and apologized.

"Your sister has passed away for many years. Ningning has only been in the palace for a short time. How could she know? Don't be unreasonable." Dongfang Yu was very troubled by this sister-in-law.

After Empress Yuan passed away, the Hu family hurriedly sent her to the palace. In order to appease the court officials, he had to refuse.

"Your Majesty! My sister has only been gone for four years, and you don't remember her? She gave birth to the eldest princess for you, and that's why she got sick and died early! Don't you remember her?" Hu Zhaoyi couldn't believe it. It had only been four years since her sister left, but His Majesty didn't remember the old friendship and only protected this foxy girl and her son, and ignored the child her sister left behind.

Sister, you are in heaven, did you see everything?

This is the man you want to marry, haha.

"How outrageous! Concubine Hu committed treason, was arrogant and domineering, and beat up a palace concubine. She is under house arrest for three months." Dongfang Yu didn't want to argue with her. At first, he would still show some sympathy to his sister-in-law for the sake of Empress Yuan, but he was really annoyed with her in the past two years.

She looked annoyed, as if I owed her something.

Dongfang Yu carried Zi Ning back to the palace, coaxed him for a long time with loving care, rewarded him with many gold jewelry, and only left after watching him fall asleep.

Later, Zi Ning went to Song Shu to chat about gossip, and only then did he know a lot of gossip.

"The Hu family is powerful, so His Majesty will not punish her too harshly. Slap her in public? But he just put her under house arrest." Song Shu said dissatisfiedly.

"She's also quite crazy and seems mentally ill."

"Who knows. I'll ask Wu Zhuangyuan to keep an eye on the outside of the palace and see if he can bring down the Hu family." Song Shu's face turned sweet again when he mentioned Wu Zhuangyuan.

"Oh my, the sour smell of love. Then you have to reward the martial arts champion well, so that he can do his job well." Zining joked.

When mentioning Empress Yuan, Zining thought of Imperial Physician Shen, who entered the palace to investigate the cause of death of his father, Imperial Physician Yan.

This is also what Da Congming told him.

He was originally from Henan. There was a severe flood in his home, which washed away his family members. They could not be found later and he was probably in great danger.

He wandered to the capital and was picked up by Imperial Physician Yan.

Imperial Physician Yan was devoted to medicine and remained unmarried throughout his life, so he picked up Shen Shu and made him both his son and his disciple.

Afterwards, Imperial Physician Yan never left the palace, nor did he leave any message for Shen Shu, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

Shen Shu felt that something was wrong. Something must have happened in the palace and his father must have been silenced.

He was unwilling to accept this and wanted to go to the palace to find out the truth and avenge his father. He was unwilling to accept that a life was lost quietly without any explanation. This was unfair.

He only knew that his father seemed to be mainly responsible for the Queen's pulse at that time, and his father refused to say more.

However, the Empress Yuan has been gone for many years, and the palace maids who used to be by her side have long since scattered to different palaces, so it is difficult to trace back to the past.
