Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

After Yongzheng ascended the throne, the first imperial decree he issued was naturally not to enthrone Empress Chunyuan, but to announce the fact that he would observe a three-year mourning period and that he had no plans to hold a beauty contest during these three years. He was truly a filial son. However, as for the truth of the matter, perhaps only Yongzheng himself knew it.

The concubines in the mansion were overjoyed when they learned about this. At least after entering the palace, no one would compete for their favor. However, Yongzheng had to remain as prime minister for three years. Didn't that mean that they couldn't get pregnant at this time?

Concubine Hua has not been pregnant over the years. Although she has always been the most favored concubine in the mansion, this favor only lasts for three or four days at most, and during those one or two days, Yongzheng just comes to sit and does not stay overnight.

To outsiders, the current emperor seems to be aloof and puts all her energy into government affairs, but in fact only she herself knows the truth.

Su Tong touched his chin, wondering if Zhen Huan would appear at the talent show after the three-year mourning period. After all, she had made a wish not to enter the palace and to marry the best man in the world.

The second imperial edict issued by Yongzheng was to confer the title of Empress Dowager on Concubine De, followed by the positions of his wives and concubines in his palace.

Perhaps because of their poor health and the fact that they had few children, most of the concubines who gave birth to children were only given the title of concubine.

"Li is the Concubine Qi, Geng is the Concubine Geng, Feng is the Concubine Jing, and there are also Concubine Xin, Concubine Cao, and Concubine Duan..."

Su Tong counted on his fingers and said, "Oh my goodness, the positions of the six concubines are almost full. Besides Concubine Qi, there is also Concubine Hua."

The remaining concubines who had not given birth were all conferred the title of noble ladies. The emperor's intention was also very clear. Jingpin and Gengpin must be canonized as concubines, after all, these two people had little princes.

By then, the title of concubine will definitely be full. Whoever can give birth to a child will definitely be canonized as the mistress of a palace.

Hua Fei had no children, and because Yongzheng did not indulge in lust, she was not as strong as in her previous life. Besides, Yongzheng now had all the capable people and generals under his command, and was not as lonely and helpless as in her previous life. At least Nian Gengyao would not dare to do anything that would shock the emperor.

Just after two years of mourning, the empress dowager could no longer sit still, saying that there were too few children in the palace and that more new ones should be admitted.

Yongzheng was not greedy for beauty, so he rarely went into the harem while he was in mourning, but he would also take some time to visit concubines who had children.

Su Tong also felt that it was time to hold a talent show. After all, his son was not young anymore, and it was time to add a few more people to his family.

Yongzheng then realized that although he was not a legitimate son, he had a dream of becoming one and had been cultivating the eldest prince wholeheartedly. This was why Su Tong could tolerate him living for so long.

Yongzheng ordered a beauty contest, but this time Concubine De had nothing to do with it. The national treasury was rich, and as soon as the news of the eldest prince's beauty contest was leaked, a large number of girls of appropriate age participated in the contest.

Su Tong first selected two princesses for his son, one from the Niuhuru clan and the other from the Guwalgiya clan.

After the empress dowager learned about this, she inserted another princess in the harem. She was from the Ulanara clan, but was a distant relative who was separated by several families.

The eldest prince chose a woman from the Fucha clan as his wife, but she was not Hongli's wife, but a member of another branch of the Fucha clan, and the marriage was scheduled for three years later.

When his son got married, he should have moved out of the palace. But Yongzheng couldn't bear to part with his own son, so he cleaned out the palace of the deposed prince and stuffed his son in there. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the throne was secured.

The next step was to choose a concubine for Yongzheng, but Xia Dongchun from the previous life was not selected, nor was Chun'er, mainly because the child was too young and very childish.

Fu Cha was not selected and was assigned to be the principal wife of a member of the royal family.

Shen Meizhuang was selected as in her previous life. After all, the emperor and the empress dowager really liked such dignified and decent people.

However, what surprised Su Tong was that An Lingrong was also selected, this time not because of spices or something, but because she was well-behaved and sensible.

Most of the concubines that Yongzheng likes now are well-behaved and sensible. Although Concubine Hua is very favored, she is just favored at most, and most of the reason is because of her family background.

The three generations, Yongzheng, Kangxi and Qianlong, all had the same aesthetic taste. Most of them liked gentle women from the south of the Yangtze River, and they especially preferred the Han people.

If Concubine Hua was a little rice cake in history, she might have been very favored. Unfortunately, she was a gorgeous peony. Apart from flattering the emperor, she was mostly extremely proud.

When Yongzheng and the Empress Dowager saw Zhen Huan, they couldn't help but hold their breath, especially the Empress Dowager, whose excited breathing stopped for a moment. It was so similar, so similar.

Even Yongzheng's expression became gloomy. He recalled something. At the same time, a certain part of his body began to ache slightly and he clenched his teeth hard.

The Queen Mother naturally did not want Zhen Huan to be selected. So she tried every means to make things difficult for her, but Yongzheng was not at ease to marry such a woman to others, but he felt uncomfortable with her in front of him, so he had to keep her.

Only four people were selected in this draft, which was even fewer than in the previous world. Moreover, three of them were Han Chinese, and only one was a princess of Manchu descent.

"The one born in Manchuria should be made a concubine, and the others should be made concubines." Yongzheng waved the eighteen concubines in his hand impatiently. "And Zhen Huan is quite sharp-tongued. If she lives with other concubines, there will inevitably be some quarrels. So just arrange her to a remote palace."

Yongzheng was truly a man of unstable moods. If he loved someone, he would live; if he hated someone, he would kill him.

Zhen Huan's success and failure were both due to this face. She became a small concubine and didn't even have a title in her life. When she learned that Sister Shen was also a small concubine, she showed a look of surprise.

Shen Meizhuang's family background is the most prominent among all the concubines who have just entered the palace. Normally, she should be able to afford to be a noble lady, but now she is just a small concubine and can't even be a maid.

Zhen Huan couldn't tell what she was thinking, especially when she learned that An Lingrong had the same rank as herself, she felt mixed emotions. After all, she was a female Zhuge Liang, but after being chosen to enter the palace, she only got such a rank. She felt a little lost in her heart.

When An Lingrong learned that she was a concubine, she was so anxious that her eyes were almost red, because she had heard from her aunt that a concubine was the lowest-ranking concubine in the palace. But after she found out that the others were almost the same as her, her inferiority complex disappeared all of a sudden.

There are four new people in the palace, and Su Tong has to find ways to arrange palaces for them. First, Jingpin should be assigned to Shen Meizhuang, but this time Su Tong replaced An Lingrong, hoping that under Jingpin's leadership, An Lingrong would not be as self-deprecating and sensitive as before.

Then Shen Meizhuang was arranged to be with Concubine Cao, Zhen Huan was arranged to be with Sui Yuxuan, and the other concubine was only arranged to be with Concubine Duan's palace.
