The Legend of Zhen Huan: Year after year, we share the spring breeze

The air in the hall seemed to freeze!

"Jiang Cheng's medical skills were not good, so he was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. Fuling slandered her master and was beaten to death."

The matter was settled with a few light words.

Yongzheng decided not to investigate further.

Hearing this, Concubine Hua and Cao Qinmo finally felt relieved!

Shen Meizhuang was a little anxious, "Your Majesty..." If Fuling was killed, there would be no witnesses!

"Noble Lady Hui has suffered injustice this time, so she will be promoted to Concubine Hui. The canonization ceremony will be held in the Forbidden City."

This is to use the position of a concubine to shut Shen Meizhuang up!

Shen Meizhuang was still unwilling to give up. She had prepared for many days but had not harmed the enemy at all. How could a mere concubine position make up for the fear she had suffered all these days?

Seeing that she wanted to say something else, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan looked at each other and both grabbed Shen Meiyu's arms.

Shen Meizhuang turned around and saw both of them shaking their heads at her. She suppressed her anger and stopped talking.

"Doctor Zhang, from now on, you will be the one taking care of Concubine Hui's pregnancy." Yongzheng looked at Shen Meizhuang's flushed face and said, "Take good care of the pregnancy and don't worry about other things."

Everyone left, and only three people remained in the hall.

Shen Meizhuang grabbed a teacup and threw it out. An Lingrong caught it quickly, but she staggered and almost fell down with the help of Su Ye.

"What are you doing!" Shen Meizhuang was startled by the sudden action and hurried to look at her feet.

"Sister, this is an orchid cup with a blue and white pattern of twelve flowers made in the official kiln. There are twelve cups in a set. If one is broken, the others will be unusable!" An Lingrong stroked the blue and white decoration on the outer wall with heartache. The cup was light and beautiful, with a thin body and smooth glaze. Only when the emperor and empress came did Caiyue bear to take this set of tea cups out of the warehouse.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other, not knowing what expression to make.

"Caiyue, put this cup away and bring a few more sets of ordinary cups so that my sister can vent her anger."

"You!" After being interrupted, Shen Meizhuang's anger was reduced to only a third! "I didn't expect that the emperor would distrust me so much. He actually thought I would really fake a pregnancy to win favor."

An Lingrong shook her head and said, "Sister, you are wrong!"

"What?" Zhen Huan was also stunned!

"The Emperor never believed you would fake a pregnancy to win his favor. After all, you're not infertile, so why would you set up a scheme that would be exposed over time? He was angry because he thought you had fallen into Concubine Hua's trap and couldn't compete with her as he had imagined. He was disappointed in you. Later, when things turned around, he was even happier."

These words revealed Yongzheng's thoughts in detail.

Zhen Huan asked, "But the emperor doesn't care about the strife in the harem?"

An Lingrong said disdainfully, "The Emperor fought his way through the battle for the throne among his nine sons, step by step. Of course, the battles in the harem must be based on ability. If we can't defeat Hua Fei, it means we are incompetent and deserve to be suppressed by her. If we can, then he will be happy to see us check and balance Hua Fei, and ensure the stability of the harem. Just look at Jingpin and you'll know that he doesn't care whether Hua Fei bullies others or not."

Then he added, "The strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive."

Zhen Huan felt bitter in her mouth, and she was extremely reluctant to believe these words, but she knew that every word was the emperor's true thoughts, "But the emperor treats me..."

Seeing her love-brained look, An Lingrong was furious and interrupted her, "Sister Zhen, do you know the difference between you and Sister Mei?"

Both shook their heads.

"Sister Zhen, your family is very happy, right? Your parents treat you like the apple of their eye. You can study, have your own thoughts, and even choose your name according to your own preferences. The Zhen family will not force you to compete for favor for status. It can be said that your parents have given you the greatest tolerance. You are well-versed in poetry and literature and excel in music, so you don't need to seek external help to feel noble. You have the courage to make decisive decisions and can remain calm in the face of praise or criticism. You don't care about staying or leaving. You are also good at understanding the overall situation, well-read, and politically sensitive. You completely meet the standards of a favorite concubine. That's why the emperor will feel very comfortable with you and regard you as a flower of eloquence.

Sister Mei is a typical lady from a noble family. She is dignified and generous, impeccable in her dealings with others, and her every move reveals the demeanor of a noble family. Your father is a powerful figure, and your mother is of noble birth. The skills you have learned to manage the household affairs are essential for a mistress of the house. The Emperor naturally saw this and chose you to enter the palace to share power with Concubine Hua. Your family backgrounds are also similar. If you are useless, you will be an ordinary concubine. If you are useful, you will be a favored concubine, and the power of the palace will gradually be handed over to you.

After An Lingrong finished speaking, she ignored the two stunned people and picked up the teacup and drank it all.

The emperor positioned them differently, so his attitude would naturally be different. Although Shen Meizhuang had been mentally prepared, she still felt uncomfortable after hearing An Lingrong's thorough explanation.

Looking at her expression, An Lingrong took her hand and gently placed it on her belly, where there was a thriving little life, one flesh and blood with her.

Shen Meizhuang was completely awakened. Nothing else mattered because she still had her child.

"What about Concubine Hua?"

"To put it bluntly, with Nian Gengyao's power and achievements, as long as Concubine Hua doesn't kill the emperor, the emperor won't do anything to her!"

Shen Meizhuang quickly covered her mouth again. She was already very skilled at this action!

"So this matter is settled just like that?" Shen Meizhuang was still a little unwilling.

"That's not the case." An Lingrong called the people outside the palace and asked, "Is Xiao Luzi back?"

Su Ye replied: "My lady, he just came back and is waiting outside!"

"Let him in."

Xiao Luzi came in and bowed, "Greetings to the three young ladies."

An Lingrong motioned him to stand up and asked, "How did it go?"
