Time flies, and it is midsummer again. The high-ranking concubines and the concubines with children go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat.

In her previous life, Shen Meizhuang did not go there. Shen Meizhuang had a conflict with Zhen Huan over Zhen Huan's proposal to restore Concubine Hua to the throne, and she stayed in the palace to serve the Queen Mother. Therefore, Ye Bingshang had no memory of Zhen Huan and others.

I only remember that this time Zhen Huan was sent to the Penglai Boat, and after Concubine Hua's downfall, she came back safe and sound, and her favor was even greater than before, and she was going to be made a concubine without having any children.

Ye Bingshang originally wanted to avoid it like she did in her previous life, staying in the palace, enduring the scorching heat and avoiding the troubled times. However, being away from Yinzhen, the center of power, she was afraid of omissions and accidents, so she followed him anyway.

When they arrived at the Old Summer Palace, Ye Bingshang still lived in Xianyue Pavilion, very close to Zhen Huan's Bitong Academy, while An Lingrong lived in Fanying Pavilion.

Ye Bingshang was walking on the way to Xianyue Pavilion when she heard the sound of children laughing. She turned around and saw that it was Zhen Huan and... the Fourth Prince?

It’s no wonder that she couldn’t recognize him, because Shen Meizhuang had almost no memory of the Fourth Prince from this period.

All I remember is that his mother was humble and ugly, and was disliked by Yinzhen. When Zhen Huan returned to the palace as a deposed concubine, he became the adopted son of Nianhulu Zhen Huan, and even the imperial edict was changed.

It turns out that he and Zhen Huan had been destined to be mother and son since early on.

The little boy ran down the rockery with the grass ring and went straight to Zhen Huan, as if he could only see Zhen Huan in his heart and eyes.

The two behaved very intimately, chatting and laughing happily, and it was obvious that this was not the first time they met.

But compared to the Fourth Prince, Ye Bingshang paid more attention to Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan's smile towards the Fourth Prince was gentle, cheerful, and lively, and had nothing in common with the Zhen Huan in the palace.

Zhen Huan still likes to pity the weak. Isn’t it enough that she has suffered from Fang Chunyi?

From Ye Bingshang's perspective, it was clear that the Fourth Prince had ulterior motives. His poor acting skills were not even as good as Fang Chunyi and An Lingrong's. His only advantage was his young age.

"As expected, none of the royal children are naive. Go back." Ye Bingshang had no intention of looking at him anymore. She was wary of the Fourth Prince and she would not let anyone hinder Hongxing.

As more and more people impeached Nian Gengyao in the court, Concubine Hua became more favored.

Unlike his previous life, when there was Songzhi who could gather information for Concubine Hua, this time Yinzhen had to act in front of Concubine Hua herself. Naturally, he had to spend more effort and acting skills to make Concubine Hua truly believe that he did not want to punish Nian Gengyao.

Ye Bingshang thought about how heartbroken Concubine Hua would be when Nian Gengyao was beheaded, and how guilty Yinzhen would feel. It would probably be even worse than in his previous life. It was better for her to stay away from trouble.

All of a sudden, both Zhen Huan and An Lingrong fell out of favor, and Ye Bingshang's green card was still not hung up, so the Queen's headache flared up again, and she exempted everyone from paying respects for the past few days.

Ye Bingshang wanted to laugh after knowing this. The Queen and Yinzhen were really a perfect match in many things. One "sold herself" to lower the officials' vigilance, and the other was "seriously ill" to enhance her reputation at a critical moment.

It’s a pity that people who don’t love themselves don’t like to look in the mirror. In this respect, the Queen and Yinzhen are completely opposite. After all, the Queen can’t really touch Yinzhen’s heart.

Now, the rumor about Concubine Hua's arrogance has spread in the Old Summer Palace again. It is obvious that Concubine Hua has not done anything wrong, but she is obviously frightened by Yinzhen's hot-and-cold attitude.

Without having to pay respects or serve Empress Dowager Yinzhen, Ye Bingshang's heart was finally focused on her two hard-earned children.

"The children change every day. Luanyue and Hongxing are almost half a year old, and I don't know when they will be able to speak." Ye Bingshang used some toys to coax the two children, "Come, call mother, mother."

“Ah, ah~”

Fang Zhi couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty is too anxious."

"Who made them lucky enough to be born in the imperial palace? Of course, they have to work harder than ordinary people." Ye Bingshang kissed each of the two children and instructed Caiyue and Caixing, "When you play with the princess and the prince, teach them the pronunciation of Huang Ama and Huang Mama."

Caiyue and Caixing: "Yes, my lady."

Although she hoped that the two children would call her mother first, she always had to make plans for their future. Even the Fourth Prince, who was raised in the Old Summer Palace since childhood, was so scheming.

Ye Bingshang gently stroked Hongxing's little head, complaining in her heart why this child looked more and more like Yinzhen. They were obviously twins, but his eyes were smaller than Luanyue's. Fortunately, he was a boy and a prince, so it was not a big problem.

"I haven't been here for a long time. I think Luanyue and Hongxing almost forgot about me." Yinzhen walked over with a swagger, followed by Su Peisheng.

There were a few more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and he looked a little haggard. His tone and every move seemed nonchalant as usual, but a little listless.

Ye Bingshang sneered in her heart. The emperor had worked really hard during this period. In order to consolidate the imperial power, he was willing to lose face and lower himself.

"I send my regards to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with peace and happiness."

"There's no need to be polite between you and me." Yinzhen stepped forward and helped Ye Bingshang up.

Yinzhen could say this, but she absolutely could not believe it, otherwise the future of Hua Fei and the Nian family would be ruined. After more than two years of getting along, Ye Bingshang understood the emperor more and more.

Yinzhen took Luanyue from Caiyue and held her in his arms. He used the Eighteenth Child in his hand to attract Luanyue's attention, "Luanyue, has your mother sung a lullaby for you recently?"

Here it comes again, the lullaby, the lullaby. Ever since Luanyue Hongxing was born, he has been chanting lullabies in front of her every day. If you want to listen to the song, go find An Lingrong.

"Ah, ah." Luanyue smiled at Yinzhen, with her teeth showing but her eyes not visible. Her chubby hands moved around in the air a few times and grabbed the string of eighteen beads.

"Luan Yue is really smart, just like me."

Ye Bingshang: “…” No, not at all. Hongxing next to him looks like him.

The two of them coaxed Luanyue Hongxing for a while before Yinzhen sent everyone out. He put away his smile and his face showed no expression. Ye Bingshang could not tell his emotions or what he was thinking.

Yinzhen patted Ye Bingshang's hand gently, "I'm sorry for the trouble you and the two children have suffered during this period. Nian Gengyao and Prince Dun colluded to commit crimes, and I had no choice but to do this."

"I understand."

Yinzhen's love for Nian Shilan was completely worn out by Nian Gengyao's repeated acts of usurpation and arrogance over the years. Thinking of the brother and sister selling official positions and titles in an attempt to control the former dynasty and the harem, Yinzhen was furious.

Now Nian Gengyao is colluding with the Tenth Elder to plot a rebellion. This is intolerable. This world belongs to the Aisin-Gioro family, it is his world, and it is not the turn of the Nian family to make decisions!

Yinzhen looked at the gentle, cold and proud woman in front of him, counting the eighteen beads one by one, and said after a moment of silence: "I intend to reprimand you in public at the Jiuzhou Qingyan, and punish you to take your two children to Penglai Boat to reflect on your mistakes, so as to protect you and your children."
