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

The news that Zhen Huan was punished with confinement soon spread widely. To be more precise, there was no need to spread the news at all. Since Zhen Huan failed to pay her respects to Yi Xiu, naturally people would ask about it.

Although the emperor did not dare to leak any relevant information, some people could not resist their curiosity and wanted to find out. Therefore, they knew some superficial things. Although most of them were just speculations, it became the gossip center of the Old Summer Palace for a while.

Of course, this is gossip that the emperor cannot know.

There was a row of people sitting in the Qingliang Palace, seemingly discussing this matter, or more precisely, the mystery of the plan of Nian, Yu, Cao and the other two.

"She brought this upon herself, so it's no wonder we added fuel to the fire. That Guaerjia Emin is more useful than we thought, and he even found evidence that can wipe out the Zhen family." Nian Shilan snorted coldly, his gloating intentions obvious.

Yu Ying'er smiled without saying anything, Cao Qin watched silently, Lu Yingfeng and Fei Yunyan looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

"Your Majesty, do you have any plans? Do you need our help?" Fei Yunyan poked her head out, looking eager to show off.

Nian Shilan looked at Fei Yunyan helplessly, recalling the dream in which Fei Yunyan shared her worries but was driven crazy by Zhen Huan, and eventually ended up in a cold palace to spend the rest of her life. She couldn't help feeling guilty and pity.

"You, don't worry about these things. Just eat and drink well. I will call you when I need you." Nian Shilan didn't want this idiot to repeat the same mistake. After all, it's okay to be a little stupid. He is still loyal to her, so it doesn't matter if he goes to the cold palace again, right?

"Okay." Fei Yunyan was a little frustrated, but she was very obedient and didn't ask any more questions.

As for Lu Yingfeng, she knew that she just joined later, so she didn't ask too many questions and just acted cautiously.

As soon as Zhen Huan was put in solitary confinement, the emperor received an impeachment from Guaerjia Emin. First, it was said that Zhen Yuandao colluded with the daughter of a guilty minister and was punishable by death. Then, it was accused of demoting his daughter to a maid and letting the second daughter serve the eldest daughter, which was morally corrupt. Finally, it was said that his family had collected many books on literary inquisitions of the past, which showed contempt for the remaining prestige of his ancestors. He even used the example of Queen Chunyuan to cultivate Zhen Huan and was ambitious.

One by one, each of these things touched the emperor's bottom line. The emperor was very angry that day, and even Guaerjia Emin, who reported the matter, was scolded by him for most of an hour, both openly and secretly, against the beams.

Su Peisheng and Xiao Xiazi served very carefully, fearing that they would be implicated and punished.

After he had vented his anger, the emperor felt a little better and immediately ordered Xia Qian to investigate the matter. If it was really exactly as Guwaljia Emin said, then what was the Zhen family planning?

Let Zhen Huan give birth to a prince to ensure her succession to the throne, is it because of the interference of the in-laws in politics? Or...

When the emperor thought of Zhen Huan talking big with him about political affairs, his face was filled with disgust.

Just a substitute, I want too much.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and Xiao Xia Zi, who had raised her eyes to look secretly, was so scared that her face suddenly turned pale. She quickly lowered her head, secretly cursing herself for being too curious.

Life in the Old Summer Palace continued to be uneventful. After Zhen Huan was put into solitary confinement, it seemed as if she was forgotten by everyone. Even the emperor never mentioned her. She no longer set foot in the Bitong Academy, but instead visited some elderly people more often, such as Fei Yunyan, Cao Qinmo, etc.

After all, these people have made some improvements in their dressing style after being scolded by Nian Shilan, and the changes made by the old ones are also somewhat fresh.

The Fourth Prince, who was in the Old Summer Palace, was observing carefully every day, trying to choose the best foster mother for himself, so that he could return to the Forbidden City with the help of the concubine. This child has always been cunning, how could he be the harmless, pitiful little kid that Zhen Huan saw in the early stage?

People like Yu Ying'er who have a prince have long been excluded by him. After all, everyone knows that people with sons will now care about their adopted sons. He is determined to become the superior person and make those who insulted him be trampled under his feet.

He also knew that the Queen and Concubine Hua disliked him, so he turned his attention to Cao Qinmo and Fei Yunyan. The worst choice was Lu Yingfeng and Fu Cha Yixin of Man Junqi.

That day, the weather was very good. Nian Shilan took a few of her sisters out for a walk. From afar, she could hear the sound of children reciting a text without pause, as if they were so familiar with it that it couldn't be more familiar.

"Who is it?" Nian Shilan said in a bad tone, obviously disliking this bad guy who disturbed her and her sisters' outing.

Not long after, a little kid about six or seven years old, dressed in navy blue clothes, walked out from behind the rockery, holding a book that had been turned softly in his hands.

"Hongli greets all the ladies." Hongli was respectful, with sincerity in his eyes, as if he was very happy to see the ladies.

Nian Shilan wondered where this wild child came from.

Seeing this, Yu Ying'er explained helplessly: "Madam, this is the Fourth Prince from the Old Summer Palace."

"Oh." Nian Shilan said casually. What she knew about the Fourth Prince was just a wild child born from a slave girl's bed. The emperor didn't like him, and she didn't like him either, so she was even less interested. "Then, Prince, take your time to study. We'll leave first."

After saying that, Nian Shilan was about to take her sisters to the lotus pond to enjoy the flowers and feed the fishes under the moonlight. She walked straight past Hongli without even glancing at him.

Hongli lowered his head slightly, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I have a question for you. Please answer it for me." Hongli tried this method many times, and this was the only way to please the ladies. His eyes moved slightly, and he seemed to be thinking, but in fact he was observing the expressions of the other ladies so as to proceed to the next step.

Nian Shilan was amused by Hongli's aggressive and self-righteous look. She sneered and asked, "Why should I help you solve your doubts? You arranged for me to be your stepmother. How can I be your stepmother? Where did you learn to respect your teachers and elders?"

Hongli's face turned dark and he could no longer hold it in. He looked at Nian Shilan in disbelief. He didn't understand why Nian Shilan didn't play by the rules.

"I dare not." Hongli hung his head, not daring to speak. Nian Shilan's aura was too strong, and he was a little scared.

Nian Shilan snorted coldly and left.

Fei Yunyan looked at Hongli with some reluctance, finally sighed and chased after him. Cao Qinmo was smart and had some guesses about Hongli's thoughts, but she already had Wen Yi and didn't think about anyone else, so she followed him.

Yu Ying'er lowered her eyes to look at the winner who got lucky in the end of the original plot, and couldn't help but be curious about how this person would ruin the dynasty if he became the emperor.

He is narrow-minded and only knows how to be clever.

"Fourth Prince, Imperial Concubine Hua has a quick temper. You'd better stay away from her in the future. Otherwise, you will be punished with a hundred lashes, and I'm afraid I won't be able to plead for you." After Yu Ying'er finished speaking, she turned around and left without caring how dark Hongli's face was.

After everyone had left, Hongli dared to lose his temper. He was so angry that he threw the book in his hand to the ground and stomped on it, as if to vent his anger.

"How dare you! Who are you losing your temper with here?"
