The Destiny of Going to Hell

Later, Meng Jingxian suggested that it would be better to confer titles on the concubines in the harem, so the ranks of the concubines in the palace were all promoted by one level, and Yinzhen also decided to let Feng Ruozhao share some palace power.

Having a sickly person climbing over her head, it was fine that the bitch Zhen Huan became a concubine, but Concubine Jing was able to take away some of her palace power. Nian Shilan was not happy about being promoted to noble concubine, and she just felt that the old man Fatty Ju was deliberately making things difficult for her.

Yes, old man, under the influence of Yixiu's words, Nian Shilan saw through Pangju and felt that all these years of love and time were wasted!

In addition, she was drunk that day, so the more she looked at Xia Dongchun, the more she found him pleasing to the eye, and she couldn't help but kiss him.

Nian Shilan has completely forgotten Yinzhen in her heart, but she is Nian Gengyao's sister. Although she is less arrogant than Nian Gengyao, they are family after all.

Nian Shilan, who has always been flamboyant, cannot tolerate anyone snatching away her power in the palace.

After Yixiu's death, Meng Jingxian was not in good health, so she paid her respects on the day of her promotion. During the payment, Nian Shilan gathered a small group to criticize Zhen Huan for being a substitute.

Zhen Huan managed to hold her own in a verbal battle with several people, but she was pregnant after all, so it was still a bit difficult for her.

Finally, it was only after Meng Jingxian announced the end of the day and Zhen Huan was able to catch her breath.

The days were getting hot, and in the past people always went to the Old Summer Palace to escape the heat. But after all, the epidemic was overcome this year, and with the matter of Yixiu, there were a lot of things to do. Yinzhen was afraid of the long journey, which would cause trouble again.

Finally decided not to go.

In fact, Yinzhen's decision was correct, because a memorial had been received recently saying that there was a severe drought in the northern part of the country and there had not been a drop of rain for more than two months.

Things have been piling up these days. Although the epidemic has been eradicated, people are still worried. The Sixth Prince, born to Shen Meizhuang, is a weak man. Although the war was won, the casualties among the soldiers were not small, and Yixiu was abandoned.

There was already a group of people among the people who were trying to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and they were trying to lead the public opinion, saying that the emperor was unkind, and they were just short of pointing at Yinzhen and scolding him for being a tyrant and abdicating.

Since this matter concerned the country and the people, Yinzhen's forehead was throbbing with veins. In the end, he decided that Imperial Noble Consort Meng Jingxian would go to the Temple of Heaven with him to pray for rain.

Meng Jingxian thought about it and felt that this was probably a plot that she could not avoid. She and Yinzhen would leave the palace, Nian Shilan hated Zhen Huan to the core, and Zhen Huan's child might not be saved this time.

However, in order to prevent that bastard Yinzhen from taking his anger out on her, she had to prepare in advance.

"There has been a severe drought for days, and the people are living in misery. The emperor is merciful and wants to go to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain. I will go with the emperor and then go to Ganlu Temple to pray for the former dynasty and the harem. The emperor said that the affairs of the harem will be handed over to Concubine Jing and Concubine Hua to take care of together."

"Your servants shall obey the Imperial Concubine's order."

Meng Jingxian left Zhen Huan alone after she finished speaking, "The emperor is not in the palace. Concubine Hua is always picky and stubborn. You are pregnant with the heir, so remember not to anger her."

Zhen Huan knew that Meng Jingxian meant well, but she didn't want to appreciate it. Just as Meng Jingxian said, she was pregnant with the royal heir. No matter how arrogant and domineering Nian Shilan was, how could she not consider Yinzhen?

So he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern," and took his leave.

Yinzhen happened to enter the palace and was very satisfied with Meng Jingxian after hearing those words. She was gentle and quiet, much better than that crazy woman Yixiu.

On the day when Yinzhen and Meng Jingxian went to the Temple of Heaven together, the concubines saw them off outside the palace. Yinzhen gave the concubines a few more instructions before leaving with Meng Jingxian.

Watching the imperial carriage leave from afar, Concubine Hua stood up without completing the formalities. Relying on her family's achievements, she actually looked down on Meng Jingxian.

She was the daughter of a meritorious official, while Meng Jingxian was merely the legitimate daughter of the declining Duke Meng. She was lucky enough to become an imperial concubine because of Yinzhen's sympathy for her body.

How could Meng Jingxian be as noble as Nian Shilan? She thought that if she could overthrow Yixiu, she could become the Imperial Noble Consort or even the Queen. In the past, she wanted to become a real couple with Yinzhen, but now she wants power.

But in the end, it didn't go as planned.

Isn't it because Yinzhen felt that she couldn't have children? If she could have a son or a daughter, life wouldn't be so difficult.

"During this prayer, the Emperor asked me to manage the harem. You sisters should not make it difficult for me, right? Especially for someone who relies on his favor and sons." Nian Shilan chuckled, holding the tassels on her temples and said nonchalantly, "Princess Wan, what do you think?"

Her words put Feng Ruozhao out of her mind, and Feng Ruozhao didn't care. She didn't want to offend Nian Shilan, who had an iron fist, an iron hand, and a heart of stone.

Nian Shilan has been in the palace for many years but has no children. Besides, Nian Gengyao had just made a great contribution not long ago and was in high spirits. How could he tolerate Zhen Huan?

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The sisters know what to do and what not to do." Zhen Huan didn't know why Nian Shilan singled out her at this moment. Was it just because she was pregnant?

However, Zhen Huan has always been very proud. Even if she was a substitute to flatter the king, she still acted like the best in the world in front of the people in the harem. She was always unforgiving with her mouth.

"Speaking of which, Concubine Wan is the luckiest person in this palace." Nian Shilan pursed her lips and smiled.

Looking at Nian Shilan's appearance, everyone knew that Nian Shilan had been dissatisfied with Zhen Huan for a long time. In fact, it was not just Nian Shilan. Who in the harem had a good impression of Zhen Huan?

Relying on the fact that she is pregnant and looks like Queen Chunyuan, she seduces the emperor to her palace every day. I don’t know if she is really pretentious or just pretending. She is the same as Concubine Xuan before. I wonder if she will lose her child like Concubine Xuan.

Everyone in the harem thought maliciously.

In fact, this was really unfair to Zhen Huan. It was just that Yinzhen wanted to balance the harem, so he visited Zhen Huan a few more times. But Zhen Huan saw that Yinzhen cared so much about her, and she was valued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs because of this. What a wonderful privilege, she also enjoyed it.

Zhen Huan knew that Nian Shilan had the power to assist in managing the six palaces, but she was always proud and didn't want to lose out in front of everyone, so she stepped forward and said, "Wouldn't it be a greater blessing for Concubine Hua to assist in managing the six palaces?"

Nian Shilan snorted lightly, as if she didn't hear what Zhen Huan said. Zhen Huan stood there, not knowing whether to move forward or backward, and didn't know what to say to ease the embarrassment.

Is Nian Shilan sick? She asked me to come out, but she pretended not to hear me?

In the end, it was Concubine Jing who smoothed things over. "Well, it's windy outside, so hurry back to the palace. Sister Wanpin, you're still pregnant, so take care of yourself."

Nian Shilan was dissatisfied with Concubine Jing standing up for Zhen Huan, but Yinzhen gave her the power to assist in managing the six palaces, which allowed Concubine Jing to intervene again. Besides, it was just a temporary measure for her to stop.

So Nian Shilan said nothing, took Xia Dongchun's hand and walked forward. Everyone had a deep resentment towards Nian Shilan, but they were also afraid of Nian Gengyao. Nian Shilan had a wealthy family, a bad temper, so how could he be easily provoked?

Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Jing were worried about Xiaoliu and didn't want to just stand there, so they went back to the palace together after Nian Shilan left.

Today, Zhen Huan finally faced off against Nian Shilan. She thought that although Nian Shilan was stingy and cruel, she was left alone because she was pregnant, so she knew that Nian Shilan would not dare to do anything to her.

In fact, compared to Nian Shilan who had been childless for many years, Zhen Huan was very proud of the fact that she was pregnant. No matter how capable her brother Nian Shilan was, wasn't he just a hen that couldn't lay eggs?

Moreover, Yinzhen would be back in ten days or half a month after praying for rain, so she was very confident that she could save herself and the baby in her belly.

It can only be said that the term "female Zhuge" has shrouded Zhen Huan for many years, making her proud and complacent, and forgetting her sense of propriety.
