Three months later, Hongyu was officially named the crown prince.

Zhen Huan was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort;

Hua Fei and Jing Fei were Imperial Concubines;

Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong as concubine;

Yu Ying'er and Chun'er are concubines...

In short, all the concubines who had some influence in the harem were promoted this time.

The palace was filled with a cheerful atmosphere...

A few months later, Liu Zhu gave birth to a son safely. Zhen Huan personally named him "Wen Caixin", which means talented and rich.

In order to reward Liu Zhu and Wen Shichu for their loyalty to Zhen Huan, the emperor rewarded them with 100 taels of gold and allowed their children to enter the palace and study with the other princes.

This is a gift that has never been given before!

After hearing this, Zhen Huan immediately smiled and thanked her:

"On behalf of Liu Zhu and Imperial Doctor Wen, I would like to thank the Emperor for his reward."

Seeing the smile on Zhen Huan's face, the emperor was also happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Huanhuan, get up quickly."

The emperor leaned over and helped Zhen Huan up, saying with tenderness in his eyes:

"I know that you and Liu Zhu are like sisters, and you certainly don't want her child to follow Wen Shichu's old path and live in fear all day long, so I specifically allowed their child to enter the palace to study."

"Only by receiving a good education and entering the official career can we change the fate of the Wen family's generations of doctors and stay away from the struggles in the harem..."

Hearing that the emperor did this because of her, Zhen Huan's eyes became moist unconsciously:

"emperor……"

Zhen Huan nestled her head in the emperor's arms like a little bird, and the emperor also put his arm around Zhen Huan's shoulders.

After living a new life, it was not until today that Zhen Huan felt a little relieved.

After going through so much together, the emperor gradually realized how important Zhen Huan was to him...

The scene became very warm for a while.

Su Peisheng was watching from the side with a huge smile on his face.

As I laughed, my thoughts diverged:

I wish Jinxi and I could have such a day!

Thinking of this, Su Peisheng couldn't help but sigh.

The Emperor and Zhen Huan smiled at each other:

"Su Peisheng, if you can get Jinxi to nod and agree, I will give her to you!"

"Emperor...Emperor..."

Su Peisheng didn't expect the emperor to say that, and he was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly.

But one thing is certain, the emperor agreed to his and Jinxi's relationship.

Realizing this, Su Peisheng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor:

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Seeing that Su Peisheng was so excited that he was about to cry, the emperor looked at Zhen Huan and laughed.

Zhen Huan also covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed happily at the emperor...

Su Peisheng was happy. At first, he lowered his head and stood aside. Then, he looked at the emperor and Zhen Huan with a slightly "shy" expression and smiled foolishly...

The hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Fortunately, Jinxi left the palace to see Liuzhu, otherwise, she would be so embarrassed at this moment...

……

A few years later.

The Emperor looked at Zhen Huan and her sisters, who spent their days either drinking tea and playing chess or taking their children out to enjoy the flowers, and he was extremely envious.

I don't know if it's because of my age, or if it's because of the influence of Zhen Huan's sisters...

In short, the emperor's desire to abdicate became stronger and stronger.

On this day, the emperor took the opportunity when the concubines were paying their respects to Zhen Huan in Yongshou Palace to express his thoughts.

"Today, I have something to tell you. Now that the prince has grown up and can take charge of things on his own, I think it's time for me to step down..."

Concubine Hua got anxious when she heard this:

If the emperor retires, won't we sisters be bothered by him every day? No, no, we really can't do this!

"Your Majesty, you are now in your prime. If you step down, wouldn't all the burdens be placed on the Crown Prince? Aren't you afraid that the Imperial Concubine will feel distressed?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Shen Meizhuang also echoed:

"You should at least wait until the prince is older, then it won't be too late to abdicate!"

An Lingrong said:

"Your Majesty, you have been used to handling government affairs for many years. If you retire, won't you feel bored?"

"If that time really comes, what will you do?"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty!"

Chun Er, who was eating snacks, also quickly echoed:

"The Qing Dynasty can't do without you!"

……

The emperor thought that when the concubines heard that he had abdicated, they would happily snuggle up to him, but he didn't expect... He really didn't expect it!

The emperor stood up angrily:

"I have figured it out. You all have discussed this together. You don't want me to abdicate because you're afraid that I'll disturb your peace!"

"I have dedicated my whole life to the world and the Qing Dynasty!"

"I thought I could enjoy the happiness of having many wives and concubines and children around me!"

"I didn't expect it... I didn't expect it..."

The emperor's hand passed in front of everyone one by one:

"You actually... despise me and don't want me!"

After saying this, the emperor angrily put his hands behind his back, left the hall, and headed towards the door.

This look made all the concubines laugh.

Zhen Huan pretended to be angry and looked at them, then hurriedly called the emperor to stop him, smiling and comforting him:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua and the others were just joking with you!"

"You don't know how much we sisters hope that the emperor can be with us every day!"

Hearing Zhen Huan say this, the emperor immediately smiled, like a child, contentedly holding Zhen Huan's hand:

"The Imperial Concubine treats me best!"

"After I abdicate, she can use whatever characters she likes for the title of Imperial Concubine. As for you..."

The emperor withdrew his eyes and smiled smugly.

But this sentence frightened all the concubines!

After all, the title will accompany them throughout their lives.

If the emperor suddenly had an idea and came up with some bad titles, wouldn't he be laughed at by others?

Thinking of this, the concubines looked at each other, and hurriedly surrounded the emperor and called out tenderly:

"Your Majesty, good emperor, please give me a good title. I will never dare to do that again..."

The emperor held Zhen Huan's hand, looked back at the concubines surrounding him, and smiled from ear to ear.

A few days later, Emperor Yongzheng abdicated and Crown Prince Hongyu officially succeeded to the throne.

The whole country celebrates the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

Yongzheng, who became the retired emperor, and Zhen Huan, who became the empress dowager, held hands and smiled at each other.

Looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers in front of them, the two of them recalled the scenes they had experienced together over the years...

Silang, after living this life over again, I finally protected the people I wanted to protect.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan unconsciously tightened her grip on Yinzhen's hand.

Yinzhen felt the warmth coming from his hand and placed Zhen Huan's other hand in his palm:

"Huanhuan..."

"Shiro..."
