I just want to live a happy life

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

The emperor looked at the soup brought by Concubine Jing with complicated eyes. Many concubines had brought him soup and snacks before, but he also clearly remembered that Concubine Jing had never brought him any.

She is a person who does not fight or compete. If he does not go, she will not take the initiative. She spends most of her time in her own palace every day.

He felt a little guilty about her. When she first entered the palace, he regarded her as a person to suppress Nian Shilan, and she had been living in Nian Shilan's courtyard during those years in the palace.

At that time, he had already given Huan Yi Xiang to Nian Shilan, because Concubine Jing lived there and her body had already been harmed by Huan Yi Xiang.

He felt sorry for her for not having a child of his own in all these years.

And seeing how she is looking forward to having a child, I'm sure Wen Yi will be well taken care of by her. So, let's just leave Wen Yi to Concubine Jing to raise.

After thinking it through, the emperor asked Su Peisheng to convey his order.

Meanwhile in Xianfu Palace, Concubine Jing was waiting anxiously. If the emperor could come tonight because she sent him the soup, she could tell him about raising Wen Yi. If the emperor did not come, she could only grit her teeth and go to the Yangxin Palace to beg the emperor.

Concubine Jing was extremely nervous, fearing that the emperor would reject her. Thinking of this, she grabbed Hanzhu's hand, seeking comfort: "Hanzhu, do you think the emperor will agree?"

Hanzhu didn't care that Concubine Jing's hand hurt because of her nervousness. She quickly comforted her, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Emperor will definitely agree."

"You are now in the position of a concubine and can raise the princess. Concubine Qi has the third prince, and Concubine Rou has the sixth prince. They are not capable of raising Princess Wen Yi. Now you are the only one who is qualified, so don't worry."

After hearing what she said, Concubine Jing also felt that it made sense. Now she was the only one qualified to raise Wen Yi. Originally there was also a Concubine Duan, but she had been demoted to a noble lady by the emperor, so it was impossible for her to do so.

The two of them waited like this, but it didn't take long. After she delivered the soup to the Yangxin Palace, almost half an hour later, Su Peisheng entered the Xianfu Palace.

When Concubine Jing heard Su Peisheng ask her to raise Wen Yi, she almost cried for joy.

After Su Peisheng left, Concubine Jing packed up her things and took people to the princess's residence to bring Princess Wen Yi back.

With Zhen Huan's complete loss of power, the Queen has been recuperating and has no energy to cause trouble, and the harem seems to have entered a peaceful period.

At this time, the position of the three concubines was the most privileged. Although Concubine Qi did not have the right to manage the harem, she gave birth to the eldest son, and no one dared to treat her harshly.

As Concubine Rou, Yi Xin not only has the power to manage the harem, but also has a family background as a prince. It can be said that her position is the most stable.

Before, Concubine Jing thought that the right to manage the harem was dispensable, but since she raised Wen Yi, she has held on tightly to the right to manage the affairs of the six palaces. She has to make plans for Wen Yi, and even if she has the power, she doesn't have to be passive at all times.

Nowadays, small quarrels have not ceased in the harem. Most of them are quarrels between concubines, or competition for favor, but major ones have not occurred.

A few months passed peacefully like this, and then something happened that gave everyone plenty of fun.

It turned out that the Shen family had accused Zhen Yuandao of marrying the daughter of a criminal and having a concubine's daughter during a court session one morning.

If it were just this, it would be fine. After all, the late emperor in his later years made the daughter of a criminal a noble concubine. If the emperor dared to do this, then of course the ministers below would dare to do it as well.

Such things were common in the past.

But Zhen Yuandao's mistake was that he made his daughter, born to him and the daughter of a guilty minister, He Mianmian, a maidservant. Such behavior was despicable. Even if you didn't like this daughter, you could just raise her as a concubine. Why make her a slave?

Originally, the ministers thought that Zhen Yuandao was a devoted man who loved his wife and daughter. After all, everyone knew that Zhen Yuandao's wife only gave birth to two daughters and no sons. Even so, he had never thought of taking a concubine.

I didn't expect him to be a complete hypocrite.

At this time, following closely behind the Shen family was E Min, the father of Guaerjia Wenyuan. He and Zhen Yuandao helped the emperor deal with the Nian family.

The two of them were promoted, but E Min had long been dissatisfied with this matter. He was born in the Manchu military banner, while Zhen Yuandao was just a Han army bannerman. Why was she promoted higher than him just because she had a daughter who was favored in the palace?

Therefore, he had long wanted to find the right opportunity to suppress Zhen Yuandao, and this time it was a good opportunity for the Shen family to take action first.

He followed suit and sued Zhen Yuandao.

The reason for the accusation was that Zhen Yuandao disobeyed the emperor's wishes and wrote poems to denounce the rebels, and he also collected the poetry collection of the rebel Qian Mingshi.

You should know that literary inquisition was very severe in the Qing Dynasty, and Zhen Yuandao's behavior would be severely punished.

The emperor was indeed furious when he heard this. He immediately ordered Zhen Yuandao to be imprisoned and the Zhen Mansion to be surrounded. No one was allowed to leave until the matter was investigated clearly.

Mother Zhen was very nervous and scared while holding Yu Rao. She wanted to find out about the master and pass the message to Huan'er in the palace, but she couldn't do it.

This worried her.

At this time, Yi Xin had already received the news. When other people in the harem received the news one after another, she immediately asked someone to tell the people in Sui Yuxuan about this matter.

It is better to have fun alone than to have fun together.

Ever since Zhen Huan was punished by the Emperor and made to live in the small Buddhist temple forever, Huanbi, who lives in the side hall, has had a much better life than when Zhen Huan was still Concubine Wan. Although she still can't eat well now, she won't be deliberately bullied by the servants anymore.

So Huanbi had a new hobby. She had nothing to do all day long and just liked to go to the small Buddhist temple in the back hall to bully Zhen Huan.

Seeing her face flushed red, her body shivering, and her eyes numb after being beaten by her, she felt very happy.

This was a feeling she had never experienced before as a slave.

Nowadays, Zhen Huan not only has to pick up Buddha beans and copy the Sutra of Rebirth every day, but she also has to sleep and eat poorly, and is bullied by Huanbi. Life is no longer the same as before.

Her eyes no longer had the clarity they once had, only numbness remained, as if nothing could cause her to feel any emotional fluctuations.

She had also lost a lot of weight, her cheeks were sunken, and she no longer had fair skin. Her skin was also very rough, and there were wounds of varying sizes on her hands.

Huanbi was the first to get the news of the Zhen family's accident. Although she was not the second daughter of the Zhen family in name only, she had long regarded herself as a member of the family because of her father's care and love for her when she was at home.

How could she not be anxious now that something happened at home? She also learned that the Zhen family's accident was due to the Shen family's denunciation. In an instant, she figured out the reason. As for E Min, she selectively forgot about it.

Her eyes were red as she chewed two words with hatred, Zhen Huan!!!
