A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

When Prince Yong returned home, he saw the dying Qi, the angry Nian Shilan, and the pregnant Cao. Of course, he didn't know that Cao's child was from Guard Li, and that Geng, Feng, and Lu had all knitted a hat for him.

"Your Highness, I have asked someone to take good care of Qi. Qi's life is saved, but as for offspring... I'm afraid that this life..." Yixiu said the cruel words gently.

"Shilan is really..." Prince Yong didn't know what to say, but when he thought of Shilan's child, he felt guilty again, and eventually the matter was left unresolved.

In order to express his guilt towards Nian Shilan, Prince Yong sent her a specially made Huanyi incense. Not long after, Geng became pregnant, and Prince Yong felt that his bad luck seemed to be going away.

In order to make Prince Yong face reality, Fu'an began to harass him again. Unable to bear it any longer, Prince Yong had to continue staying in the Old Summer Palace. The emperor happened to live in Changchun Garden and often summoned his son. As a result, Prince Yong gained the emperor's recognition.

The Eighth Prince and his party were unhappy to see this. Coincidentally, the Eighth Prince learned that Prince Yong had once favored an ugly palace maid, so he planned to do it again and embarrass Prince Yong.

The palace maid Li Jingui then came to Prince Yong, but Prince Yong did not recognize that this was the woman he had favored last time, so Li Jingui stayed with Prince Yong.

Once when she was drunk, Li Jingui went to Prince Yong's bed again, only because the Eighth Prince promised that if she succeeded this time, he would make Li Jingui Prince Yong's concubine.

After a while, a woman's scream was heard, and Prince Yong sobered up. Looking at the woman and the blood under him, Prince Yong felt like he was going to faint.

Su Peisheng came in hurriedly and had his men clean up Prince Yong and the house. Li Jingui's body was thrown into a mass grave, and Prince Yong's statement to the public was that Li Jingui had an affair with a guard and became pregnant, and eventually she accidentally fell and died.

Hongli, who had not yet been born, arrived at the mass grave with his mother, and Fu'an's haunted material increased by 1. The Eighth Prince did not expect such a thing to happen, and did not disclose it to anyone.

Only Prince Yong himself knew that the child was his, and he was the only one who knew whether Li Jingui had an affair. When he saw the ghost baby incarnated by Fu'an at night, Prince Yong even felt a little calm.

Fu'an sighed, feeling that Prince Yong was really boring. He rarely stopped, giving Rouze and Defei a chance to catch their breath. Prince Yong, who had been tortured to the point of being perverted, was even a little disappointed.

In the following years, the mansion was peaceful. When Prince Yong almost forgot about the tragic deaths of his children, Lu became pregnant.

This child was a puppet, but Prince Yong didn't know it. Lu's pregnancy at this time made Prince Yong think that he had been forgiven by those deceased children, so Prince Yong attached great importance to Lu's child.

"Take a good rest. I will come to visit you from time to time."

"I know that Your Highness is busy with government affairs, as long as Your Highness cares about me, that's enough." Please don't come, Lao Deng. If you come, how can I continue to show my love to my dear husband?

Fortunately, Prince Yong didn't know what Lu was thinking, otherwise there might have been a scene where Prince Yong passionately chopped his concubine.

Facing the sensible Lu, Prince Yong was even happier. He rewarded Lu with many things and asked the court doctor to take good care of Lu before leaving Lu's yard.

As soon as Prince Yong left, Lu's lover entered the yard. The two hugged each other and talked about their hearts. The shyness on Lu's face and the affection in her eyes were something Prince Yong had never seen in his life.

Seeing that Lu was pregnant, Cao was extremely envious. She hugged her lover and chattered sweetly. The lover had no choice but to do as she wished and did not take the contraceptive pills this time.

Yixiu is still very kind. Her puppets use contraceptives themselves instead of giving them to these poor women.

Thanks to Cao's efforts, she finally became pregnant. However, before she could tell the good news, the emperor passed away, and Prince Yong became the new emperor.

(I'm not good at scheming, I'm only good at being funny)

The women in the backyard also rose to become concubines in the harem: Yixiu became the empress, Fu'an was the Princess of the First Rank, and they both lived in the Jingren Palace; Li was given the title of Concubine Qi and lived in the Changchun Palace; Nian was given the title of Concubine Hua and lived in the Yiku Palace; Qi was given the title of Concubine Duan and lived in the Yanqing Palace; Geng was given the title of Concubine Yu, but lived alone in the temporary palace, and secretly gave birth to a son with the maid there; Feng was given the title of Concubine Jing and lived in the Xianfu Palace; Fei was given the title of Concubine Li and lived with Concubine Hua; Cao was given the title of Concubine Xiang and lived in the Zhongcui Palace; and Lu was given the title of Concubine Xin and lived in the Yanxi Palace.

Among these, the most unacceptable was the canonization of Rouze. Rouze was canonized as Yuan Guifei, enjoyed the same status as the Imperial Guifei, and lived alone in Chengqian Palace.

Yixiu had no intention of admonishing them, because Fuan would teach them how to behave.

"Now that my sister has become a noble concubine, can Fu'an let my sister continue to raise her? On the one hand, it can ease my sister's longing for her daughter, and on the other hand, it can also allow Fu'an and my sister to spend more time together."

"The Queen is really thoughtful. Let Wanwan take Fu'an back." With just one sentence from the Emperor, Yixiu's years of work were in vain. Fortunately, Fu'an was not a real child. She was born to collect debts.

Only half a month after arriving at Chengqian Palace, Rouze had already consulted the imperial physician several times. Even the emperor couldn't help but wonder if Rouze was unlucky. Not long after, court officials began to advise the emperor to hold a beauty contest.

The empress dowager also joined in the persuasion. The emperor thought of the concubines in his harem who did not try to please him, and felt it was boring, so he agreed to the selection.

In the palace, there is Concubine Duan who deeply loves the emperor, and Concubine Hua who is determined to win his favor. However, in the eyes of the emperor, these people are not sincere, and he needs a true lover.

As for Rouze, the emperor no longer thinks highly of her. On the one hand, her face is haggard and has no beauty due to torture. On the other hand, the emperor always feels that Rouze is a little unlucky. It is only because he cannot forget his past with Rouze that he makes her the Imperial Concubine Yuan.

The matter of the beauty pageant was handed over to the Queen, but Yixiu did not want to spend money on it. She wanted to use the money to subsidize her own staff, so she handed the matter over to Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua spent a lot of money to subsidize the beauty pageant, and even reduced her dowry significantly, before she was able to hold a luxurious beauty pageant. The emperor was extremely satisfied, and Concubine Yixiu also took the opportunity to make a lot of money. Everyone was very satisfied.

Finally, the day of the palace selection arrived.

"Jianqiu, go to the Imperial Garden and keep an eye on it, to prevent any concubines who don't know the rules from making a fool of themselves."

"Yes, ma'am"

Jianqiu came to the Imperial Garden and happened to see Xia Dongchun making things difficult for An Lingrong. She frowned. If this matter were to reach the imperial court, she was afraid that the Empress would also be criticized.
