I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

But, getting back to the point, "System, you haven't told me how many points that pregnancy-preserving pill costs." This was what An Lingrong was focusing on.

The system didn't care about being sad anymore, it quickly replied: "The pregnancy-preserving pills cost 40 points. Host, do you want to buy them?"

A pill to conceive a boy or a girl only costs 50 points, but a pill to protect the pregnancy costs 40 points. It would be more cost-effective to just buy a pill to conceive a boy.

But despite thinking this, An Lingrong still had to buy the pregnancy-preserving pills.

Yixiu's methods of abortion are endless, and she really doesn't want to be tortured like this anymore. With all the time she has to guard against Yixiu all day, how much can she do?

Moreover, An Lingrong discovered something else. She didn't know if it was because the baby in her belly was her own child, but even though he hadn't been born yet, the dragon energy he provided every hour could be exchanged for more points than Wen Yi and Hongchang.

This child is in my belly, providing me with a constant supply of dragon energy and earning points every moment.

The attention paid to An Lingrong only decreased after two new people entered the palace.

Although Guaerjia Wenyuan was from the Manchu Army's Bordered Yellow Banner and Yuelu was only from the Han Army Banner, the Emperor ordered them to enter the palace on the first day of November this time.

On the day when the newlyweds can sleep with the emperor, everyone is guessing who the emperor will go to first at night.

These two people entered the palace at the same time and were both noble ladies with titles. The Yonghe Palace where Noble Lady Qi lived was close to the residence of the Empress of the Central Palace, while the Zhongcui Palace where Noble Lady Xiang lived was a little further away but close to the central axis, so the two of them had the same residence.

In terms of family background, Guaerjia Wenyuan's father, Guaerjia Emin, was the second in command of the Censorate and made great contributions to the emperor in overthrowing Prince Dun; Yue Lu's father, Yue Zhongqi, has now replaced Nian Gengyao to guard the northwest for the emperor, and while holding military power, he also serves as the governor-general of Sichuan and Shaanxi. The two have similar family backgrounds.

So to be honest, whoever goes to bed first tonight will be the winner.

When paying respects to the Queen today, An Lingrong also saw the true faces of these two people. Needless to say, Guaerjia Wenyuan is stupid but indeed beautiful. She is simply the true portrayal of a peach on earth.

An Lingrong's focus was on another Concubine Xiang who had not appeared before. She was also very pretty, and most importantly, An Lingrong saw that Concubine Xiang's temperament was somewhat similar to that of Concubine Hua, who was flamboyant, passionate, bright and colorful.

Not only An Lingrong, but others also apparently noticed this.

This is true. It was not easy for Nian Shilan to leave the public's sight due to her illness, and now Yue Lu has come. They are all daughters of military commanders. Could this be another spoiled Concubine Hua?

An Lingrong has another worry. According to the plot of the previous life, Concubine Qi will go to both sides because they are both Manchu army flags and the queen. What about Concubine Xiang? Will she go to Yikun Palace to pay homage to Concubine Hua? If she goes, should they absorb this member?

An Lingrong felt that their team should not be expanded in public, because the members of Concubine Hua's team were all high-ranking concubines, and except for Concubine Li, each of them had a child. Although Concubine Hua had been claiming to be sick to reduce her and Hongchang's presence, even if Concubine Hua was ignored, the overall strength of their team now seemed stronger than that of Zhen Huan's team.

As for the Queen, she now only has Concubine Qi, who has been put under house arrest and has become as obedient as can be. Although Noble Lady Fucha is still on good terms with Concubine Qi, she is a self-employed person and is not under the Queen's orders. Now the Queen has power and Zhen Huan is favored. Although the Emperor has neglected her recently, An Lingrong feels that Zhen Huan's fall from favor is only temporary and the Emperor will eventually forgive her.

Continuing to compare their subordinates, Concubine Qi from the Queen's team is incompetent and stupid, Huanbi from Zhen Huan's team is short-sighted and cowardly, and Fang Chunyi is ostensibly from Zhen Huan's team, but is actually the Queen's spy. The overall strength of the two teams is barely even.

Now that Concubine Qi is coming to the Queen's team, will this delicate balance be broken?

Also, if their team of Concubine Hua rejected Concubine Xiang, it wouldn’t seem like a good idea, after all, her father... right?

But then again, if they could think of this, would the emperor not think of it? After finally getting the emperor to let go of his suspicion of the Nian family, would the emperor start to be suspicious of the Nian family and Concubine Hua again if they won over Yue Lu?

An Lingrong and the others were struggling here for a long time, but it turned out that Concubine Xiang had no intention of coming to pay a visit to the mountain at all.

Moreover, maybe because Zhen Huan was involved in the death of Concubine Yu and the Fifth Prince this time, Concubine Qi's family felt that Zhen Huan was dangerous; it might also be because Fang Chunyi was not dead yet, Huanbi became Bi Da Ying, and Sui Yuxuan was almost full, so Concubine Qi did not mention moving to Sui Yuxuan this time, nor did she show any courtesy to Zhen Huan.

Ahem, after so much analysis, the much anticipated card-flipping segment is finally here.

The emperor first turned over Concubine Qi's name card, and favored Concubine Qi for three days in a row. Then he turned over Concubine Xiang's name card.

During this period, the Queen also invited everyone to listen to a play in Changyin Pavilion. Concubine Qi flattered the Queen again and said something that really touched the Queen's heart: "I have two illegitimate sisters at home, and I can't talk to them. But when I see the Queen, I have a lot to say in my heart."

It was this sentence that made the Queen realize that Concubine Qi's IQ was probably just that level.

She thought of Xia Dongchun in the past. She thought of Concubine Qi who was still standing in front of her and made her upset. There were already enough idiots like her in her team. She should wait and see if there was another good seedling like Fang Chunyi. It was better to have nothing than to have something bad!

The Queen politely declined Concubine Qi's offer of surrender and gave her a coral necklace with added ingredients.

Concubine Qi was forced to become a self-employed person for a while.

But whether it was because they had similar tastes or because she thought that Noble Lady Fucha was also from the Manchu army, she unknowingly became closer to Noble Lady Fucha.

However, the most important thing for the concubines is favor. The current situation is that An Lingrong has retreated to the front line of the competition for favor due to her pregnancy; Zhen Huan has not yet regained favor because of the death of the Fifth Prince; Concubine Qi is charming and coquettish, which is sweet to the heart; Concubine Xiang is bright and looks very much like Nian Shilan when she first entered the palace. The emperor has only been interested in the latter two people recently.

The two self-employed individuals were competing for favor, and on the surface their fight seemed to be in full swing.

Well, since it’s just on the surface, the actual situation must be different from the previous sentence.

The truth is, among these two people, only Concubine Qi is involved in a serious palace fight, and Yue Lu actually does not want to enter the palace.

Although Yue Zhongqi was not yet 40, the years of fighting had caused some damage to his body. The birth of Yue Lu broke the status quo of having only Yue Jun as his only son, and brought great joy to Yue Zhongqi's family. This shows how much she was favored at home.

Yue Lu is only 16 years old now. At such an age when she is young and coquettish, how could she be attracted by the emperor's old and orange face?

Unlike Nian Shilan, who was obsessed with love and whose heart and eyes were filled with the emperor, she resisted entering the palace from the bottom of her heart. But fate could not be defied. The emperor had issued an imperial decree, so how could she disobey it?

Her family also explained clearly to her that the main reason she entered the palace was that the emperor was worried about her father holding military power, so he brought his most beloved youngest daughter into the palace. This was both the emperor's reward to Yue Zhongqi and an unspoken threat to him.

After the order to let Yue Lu enter the palace to serve the emperor came down, Yue Zhongqi's hair turned white overnight. He only hated why he had to replace Nian Gengyao and come to the northwest to suffer from the wind and sand. In order to guard the country, he had fought on the battlefields for many years and suffered many injuries. He was the emperor's salary and it was his duty to share the worries of the emperor. But was it really a reward for him to let his daughter, who had just turned 28 and was in her prime, enter the palace to serve the emperor who was almost 50 years old?

At this time, Yue Zhongqi really was questioning Nian Gengyao, understanding Nian Gengyao, and even wishing to surpass Nian Gengyao!
