After Yu Ying'er's rebirth, she became addicted to teasing Concubine Hua

Little did they know that just as Zhen Huan left, Yu Ying'er's bleeding stopped and she was saved. Everyone sighed that Yu Ying'er was lucky, her son was saved, she was fine, and she was promoted to a concubine.

In just less than a year, Yu Ying'er jumped from a small palace maid to a concubine, and even had a son.

The saddest people present were probably Shen Meizhuang and Fu Cha Yixin. They were daughters of officials, with good family backgrounds and good looks, but they were no match for a palace maid, and the gap in their hearts was huge.

Shen Meizhuang felt that the harem was boring because 'Zhen Huan' was not Zhen Huan. She could neither win nor escape. She felt disappointed and helpless. She immediately lost the energy to fight and became very depressed.

Yu Ying'er's move was nothing more than a scheme to gain a position as a concubine.

The reason why the Sixth Prince was carried out like this was because the pill Yu Ying'er stuffed into him had not been completely absorbed. However, people mistakenly thought that the Sixth Prince had suffered a great crime and was saved by the imperial physician, which made everyone guess that Yu Ying'er was in great difficulty.

As for the heavy bleeding, it was nothing more than the use of medicine. The blood that flowed out was not human blood, but artificially produced by the system. Each one cost points.

Yu Ying'er felt sorry for the points, but Qiqi said that one cannot catch a wolf without sacrificing a child, and said that Yu Ying'er should only give birth this once and not become a breeding machine, so the child must be raised again.

Yu Ying'er asked foolishly, "What if Hongyao doesn't want to be the emperor?"

"The child you and I raise cannot be the one without ambition. He... will want the throne. After all, he... is nothing. Don't think too much about it. Just raise him well. He is your support in getting rid of the palace." Qiqi changed the subject quite quickly.

Yu Ying'er was a little curious, but from Qiqi's tone she knew she wouldn't be able to get anything out of her, so she simply didn't ask.

The Sixth Prince was given the name Hongyao because the Emperor hoped that he would be as bright and dazzling as the sun, radiant with vitality and have peace every year.

After Yu Ying'er finished her confinement, the enthronement ceremony began. It was held together with the enthronement ceremony of Cao Qinmo as a concubine and the enthronement ceremony of Nian Shilan as a noble concubine, which saved the Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Rites a lot of planning and expenses.

Everything was settled, except Ying'er saw reluctance and helplessness in Yixiu's eyes, but she dared not do anything. Perhaps no one died in that incident, and it was not enough for the emperor to depose the empress, but it was a lesson.

In the end, the matter of the midwife framing Yu Ying'er was left unresolved as the nine clans of the midwife were exterminated and Yu Ying'er was rewarded with batches of rewards.

However, Yixiu's position as queen was ultimately unstable.

The emperor promoted Concubine Jing to Concubine Jing, and Concubine Xin to Concubine Xin, and divided the power in charge of the harem into five parts: one part given to the empress, one part to Concubine Hua, one part to Concubine Rou, one part to Concubine Jing, and one part to Concubine Xin. This time, power was scattered all over.

Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin both went through the enthronement ceremony very quickly. During this period, the Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Rites were extremely exhausted, with one batch after another.

Making formal dresses, preparing for the enthronement ceremony, preparing rewards, preparing the enthronement speech... after all these processes, the head of the Imperial Household Department and the Minister of Rites both looked quite haggard.

After the baptism, the four concubines and six imperial concubines now accounted for two concubines and four imperial concubines, and most of them were on good terms with Yu Ying'er. They sent gifts and congratulated each other, creating a peaceful scene.

As a result, Yu Ying'er's network of contacts became stronger one by one, which naturally became Yu Ying'er's confidence. From time to time, three or five people would gather in Concubine Hua's Yiku Palace to play mahjong and play with the children, and they lived a very comfortable life.

Before we knew it, winter had arrived again. The endless snowflakes fell, dyeing the entire Forbidden City white.

On that day, Yu Ying'er brought Hongyao to Yiku Palace to pay a visit to Nian Shilan. The two children lay together under the care of a wet nurse, while Yu Ying'er chatted with Nian Shilan and drank steaming hot milk tea.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going to sleep with me?" Yu Ying'er asked, hugging the nurse and tightening her clothes.

Nian Shilan rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Why are you bringing this up for no reason? It's really unlucky! Don't you want to sleep with me?"

"I am weak, and it has become even worse after giving birth to Hongyao. The imperial physician told me that I need to take care of myself, so I begged Your Majesty to remove the sign for me. How can Your Majesty accuse me of not wanting to sleep with you?" Yu Ying'er blinked and looked at Nian Shilan, not having the composure of a mother at all.

Nian Shilan rolled her eyes again, obviously not wanting to argue with her.

"Even if you and I don't sleep with the emperor, there are plenty of people who are willing to sleep with the old man. Didn't Chun Changzai get the title of noble lady yesterday? It's a great honor for her." Nian Shilan poked Fubao's face in the cradle. Her face was full of tenderness. She didn't feel the slightest bit reluctant to sleep with Chun Changzai.

Yu Ying'er also looked at her child tenderly. This was her only child in two lifetimes. No matter how bad the emperor was, Yu Ying'er always had a loving mother's heart towards her child. She originally gave birth to this child for that position, but now... she didn't want her child to become the emperor that everyone admired but hated.

"Empress, do you have any ideas about the future of the Third Princess?" Yu Ying'er fiddled with the cradle and looked at Nian Shilan with a smile.

Nian Shilan was stunned, then shook her head, but her expression was extremely bad.

A royal daughter who is lucky and favored may have the opportunity to stay in the capital to get married, and with the support of her natal family, she can barely make a living. But if she is unlucky and marries far away in Mongolia, it is tantamount to giving away half her life.

"Have you ever heard of Princess Pingyang Zhao?" Yu Ying'er had also heard from Qiqi about the glorious life of Princess Pingyang Zhao. It was a pity that the second half of her life did not live up to the glory of her first half.

Qiqi hopes to train Fubao to become such a legend, so that he will not suffer any grievances no matter where he is in the future. It would be even better if he could... create greater glory. With him around, Fubao will not repeat the mistakes of Princess Pingyang Zhao.

Nian Shilan thought for a moment, and seemed to be recalling Princess Pingyang Zhao. Born into a family of military generals, she vaguely remembered her mother talking about this princess who was buried with military honors at home.

"Are you talking about the princess who was buried with military honors in history? I have heard of her deeds. She was a great woman who lived a much more free life than us. Leading troops to fight in a war as a woman is something we dare not even think about. But...Princess Pingyang Zhao is not easy to come by. I dare not guarantee that I can train Fubao to be like her. After all, even I cannot decide my own life. I can only guarantee that Fubao will be happy and healthy when he is with me. Other things, ah..." Whenever Nian Shilan read Fubao's name, she would always think of her former Fuer, a silly child who was born without any blessings but came back to protect her.

Yu Ying'er tilted her head slightly, watching Nian Shilan sighing to herself, and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, if you don't try, how do you know it won't work? Princess Pingyang Zhao is indeed rare, but if she has the will, why can't it work? Your Majesty, I will help you."

Madam, I will help you.

Nian Shilan's heart trembled immediately, and he looked at Yu Ying'er in disbelief, and asked unconsciously: "Why are you so good to me? Is it just because of Fu'er?"

"No." Yu Ying'er answered without thinking, and then explained, "I agreed to come here, first, to live my life again, and second, because I have always admired the queen and wanted to be as wanton as the queen."

"Willful? Ha... Are you saying that I am willful and reckless? Now that I have entered the deep palace and behind the red walls, how can I be allowed to act willfully? Every time I act willfully, I am using the Nian family's foundation and destiny to challenge the emperor's authority. Doing so will only put the Nian family in trouble." Nian Shilan first recalled what happened in the boudoir, and was instantly pulled back to the miserable situation of the Nian family in her dream. She woke up suddenly and finally laughed at herself.

Yu Ying'er looked at Nian Shilan's increasingly indifferent face, sighed, and patted Nian Shilan on the shoulder.

"Your Majesty, spring is almost here. You also know that the battle after spring... will come, so we need to prepare in advance. Now we are the ones who can predict the future, and we can't let the one from Sui Yuxuan take all the advantages." Yu Ying'er didn't know whether Wen Shichu could see the difference in 'Zhen Huan'. Anyway, the Emperor and Shen Meiyu did see it, but the former loved that face and An Lingrong's relaxed figure, so he didn't care what Zhen Huan became. The latter couldn't accept it, and directly turned to the Queen Mother and stopped associating with her.

Nian Shilan was puzzled for a moment, then he suddenly looked up and said, "You mean..."

Yu Ying'er nodded.

"Songzhi, bring me paper and pen. I want to write a letter to my father."

It would take more than a month for Nian Gengyao to rush back from the northwest, but this matter was serious and urgent, so Nian Shilan did not have time and did not dare to tell Nian Gengyao.

Fortunately, my father is much more reliable than my brother, Nian Shilan thought.
