Time flies, and half a year has passed.

In the past six months, Yinzhen has almost exclusively favored Tong Nuanyan, and the sour atmosphere in the palace is almost corroding the roof.

main courtyard.

"Fujin, the prince is still going to Piaoxueyuan tonight."

Ulanara, who was sitting on the seat, had a gloomy look in her eyes. She usually had a virtuous smile on her face, but now her face was expressionless, and even twisted with jealousy, like a devil.

"They are all vixens. I am the legitimate daughter of the wife. They are nothing compared to me!"

The chief palace maid Qiu Li was also angry, but she also began to comfort her wife.

"What Fu Jin said is true. They are all concubines. No matter what, the prince will not let them pass you by. They still have to pay their respects to you on the first and fifteenth day of every month!"

After hearing this, Ulanara's expression improved a little. She assumed the demeanor of a principal wife again and reached out to pinch Qiu Li's chin.

"Even if the prince finds out what I have done, he will still ask me to take care of the household chores. He still won't dare to punish me."

Before, Yinzhen had found out that he was the one who had tampered with the childbirth of that bitch Tong Jia, and even found out that he had harmed Song's fetus, but he was only confined to his house for half a year.

This made her feel fearless. As long as the emperor's decree granting the marriage was still there, it would be impossible for Yinzhen to severely punish her.

"Qiu Li, has no one in the palace been pregnant for almost two years?"

Since Concubine Li gave birth to the seventh prince Hongshi in the 43rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, no one else has gotten pregnant. No matter what the reason was, she would blame it on that bitch.

"To reply to the wife, it is true that no one has gotten pregnant for such a long time. I don't know why. Except for the past six months, the prince has been evenly matched with her children during the rest of the time."

Suddenly, a sinister thought flashed through Qiu Li's mind. Looking at the jealous expression of the Fourth Lady, and thinking of Hong Hui's weak body at this time, he suddenly knelt down on the ground:

"Fujin, I have a plan!"

Ulanara looked at the kneeling Qiu Li with satisfaction, her eyes full of pride, Tong Nuanyan, I wonder how proud you can still be now!

Half a month later.

Tong Nuanyan brought the triplets out to the garden for a walk to digest their food. They were accompanied by Zhang, who was already a concubine, and her adopted daughter, the second princess Jin Yao.

Jin Yao is five years old now. She has grown into a pretty girl. It can be seen that Zhang really loves this adopted daughter.

"Second sister, second sister, fly a kite with Jiaoyue~"

The three-year-old little girl Ding Jiaoyue is always clinging to Jinyao. She often sees her second elder sister on weekdays and she likes her very much.

Jin Yao glanced at Zhang and saw her nod, then she took Jiaoyue to a wider open space, while Hongyan and Hongxu followed closely.

"Mother, let's go fly a kite too!"

Looking at the small figures, Tong Nuanyan and Zhang looked at each other and smiled. Looking at Tong Nuanyan's smile, Zhang hesitated whether to say something.

He looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Tong Nuanyan had good eyesight, so how could she not see that?

"Madam Shu, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There is no need for us to be so unfamiliar with each other."

Over the past five years, Tong Nuanyan has been helping Zhang. Even though she is not favored, her expenses are not reduced at all, and she can often get some rewards in Piaoxueyuan.

Zhang's original name was Zhang Zhuyue. Her family background was not very high. Her father was the only magistrate in the family. She was selected into the imperial palace and became a princess, which was considered a bit of luck.

The reason why he dared to be arrogant and speak frankly in the past was that he was spoiled at home and had never suppressed his temper. Now, he has become gentle for the sake of his daughter.

At this moment, she frowned slightly, thinking about what she had heard from the gossiping old woman a few days ago. Looking at Tong Nuanyan in front of her, she still told the truth.

"In fact, I don't know whether I should tell Concubine. A few days ago, I heard the gossipy old woman talking about Concubine by the wall."

Seeing that Tong Nuanyan didn't react much, Zhang Zhuyue felt relieved and continued: "... No one has gotten pregnant in the past two years, so they said that you, Concubine, can't bear to see other people get pregnant. You have six children in your name but you want to murder others. Aren't you afraid... that you will bring trouble to your children..."

She couldn't utter the curse words that followed. Looking at Tong Nuanyan's expressionless face, she felt inexplicably nervous.

"Oh~ Since you told me this through your mouth, I guess this rumor has been going on for a long time."

During this period, Tong Nuanyan was not unaware that Xia Xi was even secretly investigating the mastermind behind the scenes. She simply took advantage of this incident to directly pull out the person behind the scenes.

Zhang saw that although Tong Nuanyan had a gloomy face but did not react much, she also knew that she had underestimated this concubine.

"It seems that Concubine has already made a plan, but if this rumor spreads too widely, it will be difficult to explain to the palace."

The person Zhang was talking about was Yinzhen’s biological mother - Concubine De!

Defei originally disliked Tong Nuanyan because of her surname Tonggiya, not to mention that her son, who had never paid attention to her, was extremely fond of the person she hated.

This rumor has really hit her sore spot, and it is impossible for her not to put a lot of effort into it.

Sure enough, just as Xia Xi was about to catch the mastermind behind the scenes.

The Defei in the palace sent someone out to order the Fourth Lady and Tong Nuanyan to enter the palace.

Yonghe Palace.

"Ridiculous! Tong Jia, you are so jealous. No one has given birth in Prince Yong's Mansion for two years. Are you behind this?"

Defei, who was still dressed luxuriously, had an angry look on her face and looked heartbroken for her son. It would be more believable if we ignored the joy in her eyes.

Tong Nuanyan, who was squatting and saluting, understood immediately. Was he using her surname to express his hatred? Tong Jia, because of Empress Xiaoyi?

"My Lady, I don't think I have such magical powers. If you say that the two years of childlessness are all caused by me, then am I not a god?"

Tong Nuanyan didn't seem panicked at all, which further angered Concubine De, who was already taking advantage of this incident to get angry.

"You are still quibbling! I don't believe in the rumors in the palace. If you hadn't done something normally, how could such rumors appear?"

Only the Fourth Lady, who was sitting nearby, could not hide her smile. She then knelt down with a virtuous look on her face:

"Mother, I think this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Fujin. It's just the servants in the mansion gossiping about it. It's definitely not that serious."

Unexpectedly, the furious Concubine De turned her gun around and pointed at the Fourth Lady and pointed out her fault: "You too, as the legitimate wife, you can't even manage the household affairs properly. How long have the servants been gossiping about you? I have heard all of this, and I can't even discipline the servants!"

For a moment, the smile on the Fourth Lady's face could hardly be maintained, and she tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand.

Tong Nuanyan looked at the Fourth Lady. When did she become so kind? She even spoke up for herself? Was there something she didn't know?

"Mother is right. It's all because I didn't discipline my children properly that this happened."
