A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

The only children in the palace were Crown Prince Honghui, born to the Queen, Princess Wanwan, born to the former Queen, Third Prince Hongshi, born to Concubine Qi, Fourth Prince Hongli, born to Concubine Hua, Fifth Prince Hongzhou, who was raised in the temporary palace, Second Princess Shuhe, born to Concubine Xin, and Third Princess Wenyi, born to Concubine Cao.

Even though there was already a crown prince, the emperor would never have too many children, and the empress dowager was a little dissatisfied with the few. So the empress dowager planned to ask the emperor to urge her to give birth, but before that, she first went to the Kunning Palace in Shiyi.

Shiyi originally didn't know the other party's purpose, but when the empress dowager opened her mouth and ordered dishes, Shiyi understood that she was trying to bribe the emperor with delicious food.

The emperor has a little hobby that only his close friends know about, which is his love for delicious food. Shiyi's small kitchen was specially designed by Shiyi using puppets, and the food produced is so delicious.

After the mother left with a few plates of snacks, Shiyi was still a little dazed. No, as a mother, does she really have to bribe her son with food to say a few words to him?

Without relying on bribery, Shi Yi immediately summoned his two eldest sons. After all, Li Zhuang's wedding was approaching, and the specific details of the wedding had to be discussed.

On the other side, the empress dowager came to the emperor's Hall of Mental Cultivation with special snacks from Kunning Palace. Looking at her eldest son who had stayed up late, the empress dowager felt a little guilty. After all, she was indeed very partial to her youngest son.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager." The emperor stood up and saluted, then his eyes unconsciously shifted to a few side dishes.

"This is the side dish I requested from Kunning Palace. I know you like it, so I specially brought it to you. The emperor is usually busy with state affairs, so it's time for him to take a good rest." The empress dowager ordered someone to put the food in front of the emperor.

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, the Emperor was as happy as a 200-pound child, with a grin on his face: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for worrying about your son."

"I only have two sons, you and the fourteenth son, and I am your only mother. If I don't worry about you, who will?" Everyone knows that although Shiyi is also the queen mother, she doesn't care about anyone except her two children and the position of fairy servant.

When the emperor heard the empress dowager mention the fourteenth prince, he remained silent and ate quietly. He was still bothered by it, but the empress dowager had not finished speaking yet, so he naturally could not remain silent.

"There are not many children in the harem. I recall that when the late emperor was alive, the harem was bustling and even the one in Kunning Palace liked to come out for a walk." When the empress dowager said this, the emperor looked thoughtful.

Shi Yi, who came out purely to watch the fun, now became a good excuse.

"In this case, the Empress will have to worry more about her son's selection."

After the mother and son had discussed it, they notified the Queen and Concubine Hua, the two people who were in charge of the palace affairs. The expressions on the faces of the Queen and Concubine Hua were not very good.

Whether considering the past relationship between themselves and the emperor, or for the interests of themselves and their children, both of them were unwilling to let the emperor choose a new person to enter the palace, but this matter could not be refused.

This was especially a headache for the Queen, who was the legal wife.

"Jianqiu, I get a headache when I think about how the entry of new people into the palace will affect the emperor's attitude towards Honghui." The queen held her forehead, looking conflicted.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. How could the Crown Prince's status be affected by a few concubines? Even when the late emperor deposed the Crown Prince, it didn't seem to be affected by his stepmother." Jianqiu is an outsider and sees this more clearly.

"I know this, but I can't help but worry." The Queen looked at Jianqiu and suddenly thought of something: "Do you think I should go to see An Xianshi and ask for a protective amulet?"

"Your Majesty, your best amulet is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If you continue to have contact with him, I'm afraid the Emperor will be unable to sit still," Jianqiu reminded her hastily, and the Queen immediately gave up the idea.

"Forget it. Anyway, I still have Wanwan to take care of me. My good sister is the best amulet." When the queen thought of the sister who had crushed her all her life, she no longer had the depression she had in her youth, and was left with only gratitude.

There was unrest in Concubine Hua's palace either. Her feelings for the Emperor were deeper and she was unwilling to share her husband with others. However, the man she fell in love with was the most unfaithful person in the world.

"Songzhi, am I getting old? Is that why the Emperor wants to hold a beauty contest?" Concubine Hua stroked her delicate face, full of doubts about herself.

"Your Majesty is extremely beautiful, and the selection of concubines is a rule passed down by our ancestors. No matter how much Your Majesty loves Your Majesty, he cannot go against the ancestral rules." Songzhi chose her words carefully, trying to comfort Concubine Hua.

"Forget it, I am already the mother, why should I bother about these things?" Hua Fei waved her hand and said, "Tell the kitchen to make more food that is easy to digest. I see that Hongli has lost weight."

Speaking of Hongli, Concubine Hua's tone was full of infinite tenderness. Seeing that Concubine Hua was in a good mood, Songzhi happily went downstairs to give instructions to the palace maids.

The day of the talent show was getting closer and closer, until the eve of the talent show, Shiyi felt a familiar consciousness, Shiyi called it back, and sensed that it was Zhen Huan and Prince Guo Yunli who came.

Zhen Huan opened her eyes and thought about how she could avoid entering the palace, or even being married to Yunli. Her abilities were of little use in this regard, so she could only rely on Yunli.

Just as Zhen Huan was thinking about this, her mother came back from court and said, "Huan'er, I went to court today to ask for a favor for you. You don't have to enter the palace for the selection."

Zhen Huan was confused and asked subconsciously, "How did mother get to see the emperor?"

Zhen Huan does not have complete memory of the current world. In her mind, her mother, who looks almost exactly like Chun Yuan, cannot appear in front of the emperor rashly.

"Child, if it weren't for you, why would your mother bother to ask for an audience with the emperor with her achievements?" Yun Xinluo thought her daughter was too excited, and when she was about to say a few words, the maid came.

"Sir, An Xianshi wants to see you."

Yun Xinluo had to leave in a hurry, and Zhen Huan finally had some free time to accept her own memories in this world.

My parents divorced, and my mother set up a separate residence with me and Yu Rao. My mother also became an official. Yinzhen is still the emperor now, but the fight for the throne is not that dangerous. Even several sons of the previous emperor are still alive.

Empress Chunyuan still died, but left behind a daughter. Concubine Hua even gave birth to her own son, named Hongli. As for Xia Jingui, the maid in the Old Summer Palace, she did not have this person in this life.

Everything is different now. The only familiar thing is that Yunli is still Prince Guo and is still not married. Thinking of this, Zhen Huan feels sweet in her heart.

Unknown to her, the confused Yunli was also reviewing his life and inquiring about Zhen Huan, hoping that he could make her his wife through a beauty pageant.
