"Since you are such a troublemaker, I don't think Sister Mei will take you in, and I don't have the face to ask for it. I will tell others that you have done me a favor in the palace, and let my father take you in as his daughter and help you find a good family to marry."

She couldn't keep Huanbi around anymore, because she had been caught doing many things wrong, which led to her falling behind again and again. Mei Jie, who used to be half a level lower than her, was now the head of a palace.

"Then, what about my mother?" Huanbi lowered her head and couldn't help but ask the request that had been buried in her heart for many years.

"Your mother is the descendant of a criminal, and even your father doesn't dare to acknowledge her. What can I do? Do you want me to rely on the emperor's favor to gamble with the lives of the Zhen family?"

Zhen Huan refused directly and ignored Huanbi, sending her away feeling tired, and thus missed Huanbi's jealous and resentful eyes.

Zhen Huan fell asleep while protecting her belly, not wanting to care about anything anymore. It was obviously her father who owed Huanbi the most, but her father buried this bomb next to her.

It would be fine if she was doing well in the palace, and if she could take good care of Huanbi so that no one would bully her, but she found it more difficult to survive in the palace than she expected.

When Ye Bingshang learned that Huanbi was going to leave the palace to get married, she felt a little surprised and a little regretful. She was surprised that Zhen Huan actually sent Huanbi away early in this life, and she felt a pity that there was one less smart-aleck fool around Zhen Huan that she could use.

Zhen Huan emptied out most of the private vault of Sui Yuxuan, box after box of the best rewards from the palace, including tributes and silk jewelry specially awarded to Zhen Huan by Yinzhen.

This made the servants in the various palaces envious, and they thought that Zhen Huan was a good master. Even Huanbi, who knew her identity, was moved. She could neither hate nor love Zhen Huan, and left with mixed feelings.

Ye Bingshang said coldly: "It seems that as long as it involves one's own interests, sisterly love and guilt can be abandoned."

She was also disgusted for a moment after she knew Huanbi's identity. The main responsibility for this incident lies with Zhen Yuandao, and it has little to do with Zhen Huan, but Zhen Huan and her mother are indeed the vested interests.

He dug open and stabbed people's hearts, and then, thinking himself kind, compensated them with some clothes and jewelry that they should have, and did not forget to gain a good reputation for treating "servants" well.

Ye Bingshang's eyebrows were ferocious for a moment, as if she was disgusted and hated. "Zhen Huan was implicated and suffered because of Huanbi. This is nothing but karma. The retribution is inevitable."

Anyway, she already had evidence that Zhen Yuandao had secretly taken in a Baiyi criminal girl, so she didn't care whether Huanbi stayed or went.

An Lingrong was in a good mood. It was always happy to have someone who had always been targeting her gone. Also, without Huanbi, Sister Wan would trust her more in the future.

Then she will be able to get more benefits and care.

Only Chun Changzai, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was gritting her teeth in hatred. She hid in the darkness and stared at Zhen Huan and An Lingrong with resentment. Only today did she realize that in Zhen Huan's heart, she was not even as good as a maid.

That lowly maid caused her to be infected with an epidemic and she almost lost her life. Zhen Huan moved to Zhongcui Palace but was still concerned about that lowly maid. She sent an imperial physician to treat the lowly maid but ignored her.

Fang Chunyi's cute and tender face, which was as cute as a little white bun, became extremely distorted, his eyes were filled with hatred and anger. He then stared at Zhen Huan's belly and revealed a weird smile.

Zhen Huan was chatting with Ye Bingshang and An Lingrong, "Noble Lady Fucha is almost four months pregnant now. The Empress said that she wants to hold a flower-viewing banquet and invite all the concubines to attend."

Ye Bingshang looked at Zhen Huan's belly, which was not yet pregnant. "Yes, but your pregnancy is not yet stable. Why don't you tell the Queen and stay in Suiyuxuan to take care of the baby?"

"Yes, Sister Wan, the royal heir is important."

Zhen Huan looked at Ye Bingshang, then at An Lingrong, with a bright and expectant smile, but still shook her head to refuse, "Hua Fei, no, Concubine Hua is confined to the palace now, so I don't think anything will happen. I can't offend the Queen."

Since her demotion, Concubine Hua has been staying in the palace, and her power to assist the six palaces has been stripped away. She didn't even come to pay respects, probably because she felt ashamed. During this period, Yinzhen was also busy with the epidemic, so he didn't go to see her.

Ye Bingshang touched her belly. It was almost three months, but the baby hadn't burst yet. She had to find a chance to let Yinzhen know so as to avoid the abortion banquet hosted by the Queen.

"As long as Nian Gengyao is still valued, Concubine Hua will be restored to the throne sooner or later, so we still have to be more careful." Ye Bingshang gave a few useless but heartwarming words to maintain her image as a little white flower.

After the epidemic was brought under control, the queen resumed receiving greetings from her concubines.

Although it was still early, all the concubines had already arrived. Even the Queen had come out and sat at the head of the table, watching them discuss Hua Fei's demotion with a smile on her face.

It was already the end of winter and the beginning of spring, and there was still a hint of chill in the air, but Concubine Qi was waving a fan, smiling so hard that her teeth were showing, and making eyes at Noble Lady Fucha in an openly sarcastic manner.

"Well, luckily Lady Hua didn't come today, otherwise I don't know where she should sit. If she sits in front of Lady Wan, she is pregnant now. If she sits behind her, she is an old lady in the mansion. It's hard to say."

"The Emperor must be fed up with her for faking a pregnancy. How can she have the nerve to come out like this? It's really unfair to Concubine Lan, who was confined and poisoned at the beginning."

Noble Lady Fucha was sitting in her seat, not showing much of her pregnancy, but with one hand placed on her lower back in a pretentious manner, and a look of pride on her face was beyond words.

Ye Bingshang smiled lightly, ignored Noble Lady Fucha, and turned to look at the Queen and said, "I have something to report to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Oh? What's the matter, Lanpin?"

The Queen thought that what Ye Bingshang said was definitely an attempt to add insult to injury to Concubine Hua, and she was smiling happily, but she almost couldn't hold it back the next second.

"This morning, the Emperor came to have breakfast with me. Seeing that I had lost my appetite, he asked the imperial physician to come and see me. Unexpectedly, the imperial physician said that I was pregnant."

Ye Bingshang spoke calmly, her tone was neither hurried nor slow, her smile was gentle and loving but not ostentatious, but everyone present paused, and then looked at her with either surprise or displeasure.

The Queen was the first to react and said gently, "It's a happy event. Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Wan have been pregnant one after another, and now Concubine Lan is also pregnant. It is really a blessing for the Emperor to have so many children. How many months is Concubine Lan's baby?"

In her heart, she hated it to death. Noble Lady Fucha was pregnant, Zhen Huan was pregnant, and now Concubine Lan was also pregnant. One was from a famous family in the Manchu army, one looked very much like her damn elder sister, and the other had a good family background and was well-loved. All of them were her biggest worries.
