An Lingrong after rebirth

He nodded and said, "In addition, Fu Xili Wanyao is the sister of the imperial envoy Fu Xili Seyue. Although Geng has done many evil things and has evil intentions, the child is innocent. Your Majesty, do you think she can be Hong Zhou's legitimate wife?"

"Geng is vicious, and I don't know what Hongzhou will be like in the future. The Song chosen by the queen is very good, so let her be Hongzhou's legitimate wife. As for the concubines and princesses, the palace maids are all from the Eight Banners, so just pick two from the palace maids."

"When Geng Yueying was mentioned, the emperor's expression immediately turned cold. It was normal for a prince who was not favored by the emperor to have such a result."

"Yes, I understand. Song is lucky. I'm sure her family will be happy."

"As for Fu Sen and Fu Xili, let's give them to Hongshi as princesses. This child is filial and it is only right for her to give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"After this selection, the fourth prince got a princess from the Han army flag and two concubines, while the fifth prince got the legitimate wife from the Han army flag."

Only the Third Prince chose five people at once.

If such a result were to be spread, one would not know what kind of speculation the previous dynasty would have.

"But Yixiu wasn't worried at all. In this world, the only person who understands the emperor best, besides himself, is Yixiu."

Even the Queen Mother can only lean back.

Hongshi had been raised in the palace from childhood to adulthood, and it can be said that he was raised by Yixiu.

"Yixiu knows too well that there are more and more children in the palace now, and Hongshi will definitely not be chosen by the emperor as the new emperor."

"He is only filial, but lacks the decisiveness that an emperor should have. No matter how smart and resourceful he is, he is not worthy of making Yixiu feel threatened."

The couple agreed on the matter and decided there was no need to rush back to the Yangxin Palace. Su Peisheng came up with a few imperial edicts.

"The likes of the first wife and the concubine are naturally worthy of an imperial edict, but as for the princesses and concubines, they can only be ordered orally."

"Let's settle the three princes' affairs for now. Since we haven't established a government yet, the marriage can only be arranged by the princes."

"Fortunately, during the time of the previous emperor, several princes were married in the prince's residence, so there would not be the embarrassing situation of having nowhere to live."

The marriage was scheduled for July 28th, two months later, which was plenty of time.

"With Concubine Qi around, Yixiu simply handed over the Third Prince's marriage to her, and asked Concubine Jing to assist from the side."

Also because of the marriages of several princes this year, it is naturally uncertain when to go to the garden to escape the summer heat.

After July 28th, the only thing left on Concubine Qi's face was an unstoppable smile.

Having married five daughters-in-law at once, it's no wonder that she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling every day.

"After this incident, the days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of the year. After the New Year, it was already the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign."

The harem, which had been peaceful for a long time, was finally in turmoil again.

Since the Ninth Prince was raised, there has been no news from the Yanx Palace for a long time.

In March after the New Year, the emperor suddenly stayed in the Yanx Palace for five consecutive days, putting Zhen Huan in the spotlight again.

And that’s not all. The emperor suddenly issued an imperial decree to have Zhen Yuandao brought back to Zijing City from Lingnan.

"At the same time, people from the previous dynasty suddenly started to report that Guarjia Emin was bullying men and women, occupying good farmland, and even buying and selling officials, and so on."

"Because of Nian Gengyao's downfall, Guaerjia Emin, who was in the limelight, suddenly became a rat crossing the street." The strange thing is that among the officials who impeached him, there was the shadow of Liu Yan.

He was an editor in the Hanlin Academy, and after this incident, he became a fifth-rank Censor.

Naturally, the news spread from Jingren Palace to Chengqian Palace. Although An Lingrong was happy for Liu Yan, she couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"There were Nian Gengyao and Longkodo before, and Zhen Yuandao and Guaerjia Emin after. Although Liu Yan is far from reaching the level of a high-ranking official like them, how many people who rose to power by stepping on the sins of others can have a good ending?"

"But even if she felt uneasy, she had lived in the palace for a long time and had no right to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty. She could only secretly send someone to send a message out of the palace, hoping that Liu Yan would temporarily restrain his edge instead of relying on this "merit" to rise to the top."

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

With the arrangement of someone with ulterior motives, the matter of Guaerjia Emin soon spread throughout the six palaces in the east and west. Naturally, his daughter Guaerjia Wenyuan had to take off her hairpin and wait for punishment, and plead for mercy for her father.

The person serving in the Yangxin Palace at that time was Zhen Huan.

Listening to the cries of begging coming from outside, the emperor frowned and seemed very impatient.

Zhen Huan did not stop grinding ink. She glanced at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Guaerjia is now living in the same palace with me. It was my carelessness that allowed her to disturb your peace."

"Guaerjia insisted on doing this, how could Huanhuan stop it at any time? You don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself."

The emperor continued to review the memorials, and then said, "It's just that Guarjia's behavior is really inappropriate."

"After all, he is someone from my palace. I should go and persuade him."

"Okay, you go ahead."

"After hearing the emperor's words, Zhen Huan knelt down and turned to leave the Yangxin Palace. The sound from the bottom of the flower pot startled Guarjia Wenyuan who was begging non-stop."

Raising her eyes and glancing at Zhen Huan, who was looking down at her, Guaerjia's cry of begging stopped immediately. "Why is it you?"

"You? Guaerjia, you must have agreed to my title of concubine. Although you have been confined to the Yanxi Palace since you came back from the garden, you should not forget the rules of the harem."

Guarjia Wenyuan's breathing stagnated, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head silently, "I was anxious at the moment and offended Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty Wanfei."

"The sins of the Guarjia clan were pointed out by the officials of the previous dynasty. The emperor is the Son of Heaven, so he naturally cannot be partial to anyone. You are only making things difficult for the emperor."

Zhen Huan's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but made Guaerjia's expression pause. If it weren't for those bitches of the previous dynasty who insisted on slandering her father and her family in front of the emperor, how could it have come to this?

Who is it, who is it?

"Empress Wan, please have mercy on me. I beg you to tell me who wants to harm my father."

Zhen Huan shook her head slightly after hearing this. "This matter involves the previous dynasty. How could I possibly know about it? But the emperor is already angry. You should return to Yanxi Palace as soon as possible."

After saying this, Zhen Huan didn't seem to care whether Guaerjia Wenyuan would continue to cry and beg. She supported Cui Jinxi and turned around to enter the palace again.

Guarjia Wenyuan helped Jingtai stand up, and when he looked up again, his face was full of cruelty.

After the master and servant left the Yangxin Palace, Guarjia Wenyuan spoke again, "I remember that there are still a few people in the Imperial Household Department. Go and find out who is behind this and deliberately framed my father!"

Jingtai had a bitter face, but he did not dare to offend Guarjia Wenyuan at this critical juncture.

She could only nod her head repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, my lady. I will ask someone to find out when I get back. But we are outside now instead of in our own palace. There are many people around, so let's go back first."

Guarjia Wenyuan left angrily.

"But they all forgot that their father had Zhen Yuandao exiled to Lingnan. Who else in the palace hated Guaerjia the most?"

But Guaerjia was too stupid. She was led elsewhere by Zhen Huan's few words. No one knew who would be in trouble.

An imperial decree was soon issued to deal with Guaerjia Emin. Guaerjia Emin was beheaded and the Guaerjia clan was exiled to Ningguta.

No matter what Zhen Huan thought when she heard the news.

Guarjia Wenyuan was so angry that she broke countless porcelain bowls and plates in the palace. It was on this day that news finally came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Guarjia Wenyuan's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and he almost bit his teeth when listening to Jingtai's report.

"But perhaps this anger made her a little smarter. After a few long breaths, Guarjia Wenyuan calmed down."

With a grim look, he waved at Jingtai and whispered a few words.

"I don't know what she told Jingtai. Jingtai's expression suddenly changed, as if he couldn't believe what Guarjia Wenyuan said."

Seeing Jingtai like this, Guarjia Wenyuan raised her hand and slapped him, "Don't think that you can disobey me just because my family is in decline. Don't forget that the lives of your parents and brothers are in my hands!"

Jingtai immediately knelt on the ground and said, "My lady, how dare I go against your wishes? Don't worry, I will prepare everything for you!"

Guarjia Wenyuan then snorted coldly, "Then hurry up!"

Jingtai hurriedly retreated. Guarjia Wenyuan clenched his fist and pounded on the table. "You who harmed my people, you must all die!"

His words were harsh, and he really looked like he had never shown any of that in front of others.

The three older princes got married respectively. Although Hongli only married a princess, he also had a separate courtyard in the prince's house like the third and fifth princes.

However, it was still inconvenient in the palace. All food and expenses were taken care of by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Only the meals of Hongzhao and Hongjun were delivered to the prince from Jingren Palace every day.

Yixiu was cautious and would either deliver it herself or ask Jianqiu to do it. This way, there was no possibility of others tampering with it.

As the weather gradually got warmer, for some reason the palace became like a stagnant pool, and nothing happened for a long time.

At one o'clock in the afternoon that day, Yixiu went out and took a sedan chair to go to her prince's place. When she got off the sedan chair, Hongzhao happened to walk to the door with Hongjun.

"Empress Huang's mother!"

Yixiu turned around upon hearing the voice, smiled, stretched out her hand, and held Hongzhao's hand as he trotted up.

After taking a closer look, he half-knelt down to wipe the sweat off Hongzhao's forehead, then reached out and pulled Hongjun to his side and wiped the sweat for him as well.

Then he said, "You won't listen to me no matter what I say. You're sweating now. If you get cold in the evening, won't you get sick?"

Hong Zhao smiled and said, "The Queen Mother has said this many times, and I remember it. But today I am hungry and want to eat earlier!"

"You have many reasons, kid."

Yixiu reached out and tapped Hongzhao's forehead, then helped Jianqiu stand up. "Then hurry in. The Empress Dowager has prepared several dishes that you like today."

The two children cheered and ran into the room hand in hand. Yixiu supported Jianqiu, smiled and shook her head, then followed them.

"But the two children just ran into the courtyard and didn't notice the palace maid who suddenly jumped out. Yizheng wanted to scold this person for being so unruly in front of the prince."

"But before she could even open her mouth, the maid actually rushed straight towards the two children and kicked Hongjun on the back, and the children were immediately kicked away."

Then he flipped his hand and found that the other person was holding a knife in his hand!

"Yixiu turned pale with fear, stretched out his hand to push Jianqiu away, and rushed forward. Hongjun was kicked and screamed, but he was just kicked away by the other party and had no strength to move forward."

Hong Zhao turned his head suddenly and saw the sharp knife raised high. He was so scared that his face turned pale. After all, he was just a child. What could he do in such a life-and-death situation?

The palace maid laughed grimly and stabbed down fiercely with the sharp knife.

"stop!"

Yixiu didn't know where the brute force came from, but she rushed forward and hugged Hongzhao in her arms.
