I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

The Queen was under house arrest, and even the Emperor's words "The Queen and I will never see each other again, whether we live or die" were not deliberately banned, so anyone with a little insight in the former dynasty and the harem could see that the Queen had lost her power.

When the Queen lost power, the one who panicked the most was the Third Prince.

His biological mother has passed away. If his adoptive mother is no longer favored by the emperor, who will speak well of him in front of his royal father in the future?

The Third Prince was not smart to begin with, and after being pointed out by the scheming people sent by An Lingrong, at the birthday ceremony for the Emperor in the eleventh year of Yongzheng's reign, the Third Prince bravely advised his father, the Emperor, that he had no brotherly love, that he imprisoned his brothers and confined his younger brothers, and that he had confined the Empress. He hoped that his old father would consider his reputation a hundred years later and release his Eighth Uncle, Fourteenth Uncle, and his adoptive mother, the Empress.

The emperor is a creature with a lot of imagination, especially the emperor that the third prince is facing now, who beat Nian Shilan's child before he ascended the throne. From the third prince's advice and plea, the emperor could hear his son scolding him for being unfilial, disrespectful to the queen mother, killing his brothers, treating his wife harshly, and being an unkind father...

He got angry immediately!

He has been on the throne for more than ten years now. With the Grand Council and the Flying Guillotines, he can do whatever he wants! This son was really disobedient and unfilial. The emperor was furious and finally stopped being angry. He waved his hand and stripped Hongshi of his yellow belt, allowing him to love his dear eighth uncle as much as he wanted.

Anyway, Hongchang's health is getting better now, and Hongxian looks like a good candidate, so he has no shortage of sons!

Hongshi was brave once, but this bravery brought him the possibility of never being able to take the throne again.

After the emperor gave up his son, he felt that he was strong enough again. He was now a true emperor and no one dared to be his enemy at this time. Then, Mog Khan of Junggar came.

The emperor still brought his officials and concubines to host a banquet to entertain Mog Khan. Because this was a big event, and Zhen Yurao had become well-behaved recently, the emperor asked her to attend the banquet as well.

Unexpectedly, Mog Khan stared at Zhen Yurao's face from left to right, and kept looking at it. Some ministers reprimanded him for being rude, but Mog said that this Concubine Wan looked very much like an old friend of his.

After the banquet, the emperor reviewed the matter with Moge again, and only then did he know that the old friend who had saved Moge was Zhen Huan. The emperor now only hated Zhen Huan, and Moge proposed to marry Zhen Huan to Junggar as his concubine, even if she was crazy, he would not despise her. The emperor did not expect that he could make use of such a waste, and he immediately agreed.

Zhen Yurao almost broke her legs kneeling to prevent her sister from being sent to marry. Unfortunately, since it was a matter of great importance to the Qing Dynasty, the emperor only ordered her to receive medical treatment and did not change his mind.

After all, Zhen Yurao had that pretty face, and she was well-versed in poetry and literature. Even though the emperor no longer delegated power to her and no longer trusted her, he would still often visit her Changchun Palace.

But since the selection, when five new concubines came into the palace, each of whom had some similarities to Queen Chunyuan, the Emperor no longer liked to look at Zhen Yurao's always sad face.

An Lingrong always felt that time seemed to have passed particularly quickly since Zhen Huan was sent to marry.

Ever since the affair between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo was exposed, the Emperor may have felt that he had lost face in front of these concubines. Except for the time when the Queen Mother passed away and he came to An Lingrong to warm each other up for a while, he now rarely spends the night in the palaces of the concubines who were present at that time.

The most favored ones in the palace nowadays are the five newly selected Chunyuan figures.

But fortunately, An Lingrong now has her own two little beasts, as well as the Royal Concubine's Hongchang and the Xiang Concubine's Wenyi, who provide points continuously. Although each of them can provide her with fewer points, each person can be added up. With these children added together, An Lingrong has more contact time with them, so the points she gets from the children are not much less than those from the emperor.

In the palace today, among the high-ranking concubines, the Imperial Noble Consort still maintains her frail persona, often staying in the Yikun Palace, but with Consort Li, Consort Xiang, and An Lingrong often visiting her with their children, her days are not hard to bear; Consort Li is open-minded, like a street kid, and often visits various palaces without feeling bored. Consort Xiang has Wen Yi to relieve her loneliness.

Concubine Jing has Shuhe to educate; Concubine Qi has no intention of competing for favor after learning from Jiang Fuhai's confession that the pearl necklace given by the Queen made her unable to have children anymore. She comes to Concubine Jing every day to report to Shuhe. Concubine Xiang has recently fallen in love with furry children, and two furry and soft kittens have become her new favorites.

An Lingrong no longer had to accompany the emperor to sleep, except raising the children. She had more nights to study. Now, in the fifteenth year of Yongzheng's reign, she had already started learning the knowledge of a second-year high school student.

In short, the lives of the high-ranking concubines have entered the retirement stage, but the new low-ranking concubines who entered the palace still want to take advantage of the fact that the emperor is still "useful" and want to have a child, but unfortunately, no one has succeeded so far.

Just look at the time and you will know. It is now the fifteenth year of Yongzheng's reign, and the emperor is no longer middle-aged. The voices of the previous dynasty pleading for the establishment of a crown prince are getting louder and louder, but the emperor always feels that he can still do it.

Emperor Shengzu died at the age of 68. He was the son of Emperor Shengzu, and he felt that he could still live.

But the ministers don’t want the emperor to think that, the fact is that the emperor is already sixty years old this year. To put it bluntly, if he accidentally dies one day, then... right?

When it came to the issue of choosing a crown prince, although the people in the court nominated different candidates, some nominated the Sixth Prince Hongchang, some nominated the Eighth Prince Hongxian, but they were unprecedentedly united in wanting the Emperor to choose a crown prince.

No matter how tough the emperor is, he can't go against the entire court. What's more, our emperor is not as tough as imagined.

As for who should be made the crown prince, any discerning person can make a decision immediately.

Not to mention that everyone in the previous dynasty and the harem knew that Concubine Jia was dependent on the Imperial Concubine. Just from the aspects of family background and age, she was more suitable to be the Imperial Concubine.

The Sixth Prince Hongchang was born in the second year of Yongzheng's reign and is now thirteen years old. Although he was weak when he was young, after decades of careful conditioning by the imperial doctors, his physical fitness is now no different from that of an ordinary person.

The emperor had also tested the sixth prince on his studies. He was only thirteen years old, but he was much better than Hongshi, who was twenty-three years old when he was adopted by the emperor. In terms of birth, his mother was a royal concubine, with the same status as the vice queen.

In his maternal family, although no one in these years remembers that his second uncle Nian Gengyao was once a famous general, his eldest uncle Nian Xiyao is still an official in the court, and his cousin Nian Fu has been guarding the northwest for many years.

However, the Eighth Prince was born in the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign and is only seven years old now. In terms of age alone, he has no advantage.

Although the Eighth Prince had just entered school, it was already apparent that he was mediocre in talent and was indeed not as gifted in studying as Hongchang.

Although Concubine Jia is now the head of the harem, Hongxian's maternal family has long been in decline. An Bihuai and the Queen Mother died in the same year. After that, the next generation of the An family not only did not use their minds on the right path, but also killed each other. Over the years, only the son of Concubine Xiao, who wanted to be a rich man, supported the lives of An's mother and Concubine Xiao. The emperor still remembered that Concubine Jia would sigh and cry every time she talked about her mother's family, so he sighed.
