The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

Recently, Furong Pavilion has become a Feng Shui treasure land. All the concubines in the harem who have no children come here. In name, they come to congratulate Yun Zhining on her pregnancy, but in fact, they want to take advantage of her good fortune and see if they can wait for Qi Yejing, and then receive her favor, get pregnant overnight, and rise step by step.

Qi Yejing knew their thoughts very well. He never came during the day when there were many people around. He would only come quietly to visit Yun Zhining at night after all those people who were waiting for him had left. He would talk to her and look at the baby in her belly. He would stay for two hours and leave when it was almost time to go to bed.

Two days later, everyone saw through the trick and stopped wasting time. There were fewer people in Furong Pavilion, and Yun Zhining was able to get away with it a lot less.

"My lady, the lists sent by the various palaces have been sorted out. Please take a look."

Yun Zhining took the gift booklet, flipped through it quickly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Everyone wants to climb to a high position. The things that the queen in a high position brings out are different from those of us concubines of lower positions."

Shu embroidery, brocade, Hangzhou cotton, shark silk, soft smoke silk, embroidered silk, etc., everything is available.

There are also fine ornaments, exquisite jewelry, spices, etc.

She was almost dazzled by what she saw.

Qingzhu smiled and nodded.

"Who says it's not true? Three days ago, people from Furong Pavilion were looked down upon when they went out, but now, no matter where we go, we are sought after, and we are praised and rewarded with endless good things. It's really like a 30-year cycle!"

"So you must give birth to this child safely. As long as this child can be born, we will no longer be bullied. Even if the emperor is not very angry, for the sake of the child, he will not make things too difficult for you and let you suffer the same fate as before."

"Don't worry, the baby will be born safely. I will also do my best to protect you and will not let you face the difficulties you faced before."

After lying in bed for three days, Yun Zhining estimated that the time was almost up, so she sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite Doctor Chen to come and take her pulse, and then announced that she was well and could go to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects to the Queen.

Upon hearing the news, everyone in the harem quickly took action, preparing their costumes and makeup for paying respects to the Queen tomorrow. They absolutely could not be outdone by Yun Zhining.

The next morning, Yun Zhining got up early. Qingzhu dressed her up and took Xiaokui with her to Fengyi Palace.

She was just a minor noble before, and was not qualified to go to Fengyi Palace to pay respects to the Queen unless it was the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month or other important festivals. This time she got up early, thinking she could arrive earlier, but when she arrived at Fengyi Palace, the front hall was already full of people, including Concubine Zhou, who was always late.

This is awkward!

Yun Zhining suppressed her inner panic, let go of Qingzhu's hand, and bowed slightly.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty stay at home."

"Ming Xiaoyi is pregnant, there's no need to be so polite, get up."

"Thank you, Queen."

According to the regulations of the Daye Harem, only those with a rank of noble lady or above are qualified to pay respects to the empress every day. Yun Zhining had just been promoted, so her position was very far back.

Logically speaking, someone like her would never be in the eyes of the Queen, but she was pregnant with Qi Yejing's first child after he ascended the throne. No matter whether the baby was a boy or a girl, it had extraordinary significance. Moreover, the Queen wanted to use the child to achieve her own goals, so she had to keep an eye on her all the time to prevent any accidents to her or the baby in her belly.

As soon as she sat down, Xin'er brought her some pastries sent by the palace maid.

Concubine Zhou immediately became unhappy.

"The Queen is so partial. We drink the same tea and eat the same cakes, but why does Ming Xiaoyi have to be treated differently from others? Could it be that the Queen has seen enough of us old faces and wants to see a new sister?"

"What did Concubine Zhou say?"

"When you were pregnant, I ordered people to prepare cakes and tea for you. Why are you unhappy when it's someone else's turn? Aren't you allowing the officials to set fires but not the people to light lamps?"

Concubine Zhou has been fighting with the Queen for so many years, so naturally she would not give up just because of one word from her.

"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't say anything, but Ming Xiaoyi always pretends to be pitiful. I'm really fed up with her. If the Queen really loves me, don't treat her so well. Otherwise, I'll be really angry."

If she gets angry, she will complain to the emperor, and then you, the queen, will be in big trouble.

The Queen was most annoyed by Concubine Zhou's behavior of being spoiled by her family. But the Emperor indulged her in every way just because she gave birth to the eldest prince. Every time she complained to the Emperor, the Emperor said that Concubine Zhou was young and spoiled by her family, and asked her to be more tolerant. Every time she heard these words, she wished she could send Concubine Zhou away with a bowl of medicine to avoid having to endure such cruel treatment in the future.

"Empress Zhou, please don't..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard a delicate voice in her ear.

"My Lady Imperial Concubine, if you are dissatisfied with me, you can just come to me. Why do you have to embarrass the Empress?"

"The Queen is the mother of the country and she governs the six palaces. She has to deal with many things every day. As a noble concubine, you not only don't think about helping the Queen share her worries, but you also bother her with these trivial matters all day long. You are simply unworthy of your position."

Concubine Zhou was instantly furious.

"Yun Zhining, don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you have the Queen's support."

"Someone, come and slap me in the face!"

"Hey hey!"

Before the maidservant beside Concubine Zhou approached Yun Zhining, she started wailing, holding her stomach.

"Qingzhu, my stomach is starting to hurt again. Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Doctor Chen to come and see if Concubine Zhou is mad at me."

"Yun Zhining, don't go too far!"

Concubine Zhou was so angry that she almost jumped up.

Yun Zhining held her stomach and wailed, while raising her eyebrows at her smugly.

Concubine Zhou couldn't stand the provocation and kept cursing her with the most vicious words. Yun Zhining cried on the surface but kept provoking her anger secretly.

Although the emperor does favor her now, the emperor's favor is limited. In her previous life, she relied on the emperor's favor for the eldest prince and was somewhat indulgent towards her, so she did not give face to anyone. The concubines in the harem were unable to bear this and joined forces to kill the eldest prince, gradually undermining her position in the emperor's heart. In the end, Yun Fulan turned the tables on her and she was completely overthrown.

Yun Fulan was worried that she would revive, so she bribed the maid in the cold palace, strangled her with a three-foot white silk cloth, and faked the illusion that she committed suicide, thus putting an end to her once and for all.

Until her death, she never knew that her son was killed by her arrogant and domineering personality, and she had no idea who she had offended to end up like that.
