In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

New Year is approaching, and Zhen Huan has been neglected because she pretended to be sick. On this day, Shen Meiyu went to visit Zhen Huan with supplies, but she didn't expect that Concubine Hua would come with the imperial physician, saying that the palace dinner she had prepared was about to come. In order to ensure that no newlyweds would be absent, she brought the imperial physician to take care of Concubine Wan who had been ill for a long time.

It has to be said that this move of Concubine Hua really scared Zhen Huan. She tried all kinds of excuses but couldn't stop Concubine Hua from asking the imperial physician to take her pulse. She could only hope in her heart that the medicine prescribed by Wen Shichu could not be prescribed by other imperial physicians.

Shen Meizhuang was so surprised by Concubine Hua's sudden "kindness" that she didn't know what to say. She just thought that Concubine Hua attached great importance to the night banquet she hosted, after all, it was the first year of the Emperor's accession to the throne. However, she didn't notice that her sister Huan'er's expression was not right.

Zhou Ninghai had led people to surround the entire Sui Yuxuan. Liu Zhu, who wanted to secretly look for Wen Shichu without telling anyone, was blocked at the door of Sui Yuxuan by Zhou Ninghai and his men. She covered her mouth to prevent her from reminding Zhen Huan inside and was dragged away.

Zhen Huan's expectations were dashed. Soon the news that Wan Changzai was unwilling to sleep with the emperor and bribed the imperial physician to prescribe medicine to pretend to be sick to avoid favor spread throughout the harem. The Queen soon informed the Emperor of this. The Emperor was very angry when he heard about it, but he couldn't bear to shame Zhen Huan, so he only ordered Wen Shichu to be executed for deceiving the emperor, and Zhen Huan was demoted from Wan Changzai to Zhen Da Ying, and the palace maids Liu Zhu and Huanbi around her were sent to the Xinzheku to serve their sentences for the crime of harboring a concubine.

I have to say that Lingrong was very satisfied after hearing the news. Originally, seeing that Concubine Hua had not exposed the fact that Zhen Huan was pretending to be sick, Lingrong thought that Concubine Hua did not care about Zhen Huan. She did not expect that Concubine Hua would choose to expose Zhen Huan at this time.

But it doesn't matter. The timing is very good now. At least this time, Zhen Huan won't have to have another surprise first encounter with the Emperor where she's a palace maid with her shoes and socks wet.

Lingrong had a premonition that after Hua Fei resolved the matter, she would find her to fulfill her promise.

It seems that I have to think carefully about how to make Concubine Hua pregnant.

Currently, there are not many worlds that can be traded in the Wanjie Shop. Among them, those that can help with conception include the test tube method in the modern technological world, the blood fusion method in the world of cultivation, and the machine fertilization method in the interstellar world.

Modern test tube technology requires Hua Fei's egg and the emperor's sperm. Not only is it troublesome to collect the raw materials, but the subsequent successful fertilization to form a fertilized egg and introduce it into Hua Fei's body is also troublesome. Ling Rong is not considered for the time being.

The method of blood fusion in the world of immortal cultivation is relatively simple. It only requires one drop of blood from each party to synthesize a fetus. However, it is more troublesome to deliver the fetus into Hua Fei's belly. It requires the use of immortal cultivation methods or some tools in the world of immortal cultivation. Ling Rong checked the gold coins needed to purchase it, and the 100,000 taels of silver given by Hua Fei were just enough.

The method of machine breeding in the interstellar world is a little easier than modern technology, but a little more troublesome than the world of immortal cultivation. The raw materials required are still the reproductive cells of both parents, which are then combined in the body of the breeding robot to form an embryo.

The easy part is that you can directly use auxiliary technology products to obtain reproductive cells, but the troublesome part is that after the embryo is formed, it not only requires the use of some tools, but also needs to be introduced into the mother's body before the gestation can continue.

The whole process requires the purchase of three tools. The first is a tool for collecting reproductive cells, the second is a gestational robot that synthesizes fertilized eggs and successfully develops them into young embryos, and the third is an introduction tool that introduces the young embryo into the mother's body.

It stands to reason that the methods in the modern technological world are similar to those in the interstellar world, or even more convenient, but Lingrong does not want to collect those key raw materials by herself, nor does she have the ability to synthesize fertilized eggs on her own, and she does not want to perform test tube surgery on Concubine Hua by herself.

The tools from the interstellar world are more convenient to operate. Ling Rong made up her mind and prepared to start purchasing these tools.

However, considering that she had spies like Baojuan around her, although she had moved to the back hall of Qixiang Palace and had some space, it would be inconvenient to hide the tools she bought if they were too big. Lingrong had to bear the pain and spend more gold coins to buy smaller tools.

The three tools cost Lingrong nearly 5000 gold coins in total, which was equivalent to a quarter of the 20 taels of silver given by Concubine Hua. Lingrong grimaced in pain. Due to the restrictions of her status in this life, she not only had no capital or manpower to do business, but also no relevant power background. She was afraid that if she made a little more money and others knew about it, her family would be destroyed and she would lose both her money and her life.

She could only make small deals and trade in the Wanjie Shop with great care. She could only save so many gold coins by not converting her earnings into silver and keeping them in the system. Ling Rong had a comfortable life after entering the palace and had spent a lot of gold coins. After all, money makes the world go round. If she were still as poor as she was in her previous life, no matter how beautiful she was, how could a mere concubine who had not yet served the emperor in bed be looked down upon by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

Later, when Ling Rong served the emperor in bed, she was not only favored but also promoted several times, and the talents in the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to curry favor with her.

Now the one who is being neglected by the Imperial Household Department has become Zhen Huan. Originally, she had Shen Meizhuang's help, and her rank was not low. She was one of the only two newcomers with titles. It is obvious at a glance that her performance on the day of the selection caught the emperor's eye. Even if the people in the Imperial Household Department want to make things difficult for her, they have to worry that Zhen Huan will be favored after she recovers from her illness and come back for revenge.

But now Zhen Huan has become a concubine and a laughing stock in the palace. No matter how much Shen Meiyu trusts her and supports her, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs no longer give her face.

Looking at Zhen Huan's current situation, Ling Rong couldn't help but compare it with her own situation after being "returned intact to Zhao" in her previous life. For a moment, she didn't know whether she was happy or sad.

It's a relief that in her previous life, Zhen Huan didn't care about her situation and only said a few symbolic words of comfort. It's sad that even so, Zhen Huan now has Shen Meizhuang who continues to run around for her, unlike in her previous life when no one truly cared about her.

"Tsk, that's really boring."

Ling Rong suddenly felt bored, as expected, the 'protagonist' was the 'protagonist', unlike herself, a 'supporting character' who didn't have much sincerity and love to begin with, and the little 'sincerity and love' she had was lost for the development of the plot.

Fortunately, I had a chance to start over in my life, escape the circumstances of the plot, and have the opportunity to take control of my own life.

On the day of the palace banquet, Zhen Huan had been diagnosed with recovery by the imperial physician. She did not dare to stay in Sui Yuxuan any longer and had to come out to attend the banquet.

Now that Zhen Huan had come out and had that face, there was no need for the Queen to prepare red plum blossoms to remind the Emperor of Queen Chun Yuan. Without the Emperor's thoughts of her when he saw the plum blossoms, Yu Ying'er, who was cutting plum branches in the plum garden, endured the cold and finished her work. Then she dragged her heavy body back to her residence early and fell asleep.

During the banquet, the Emperor kept looking at Zhen Huan. The Queen really didn't expect that the Emperor missed Chun Yuan so strongly. She suppressed her dissatisfaction, clenched her fingers, smiled and advised the Emperor to drink less to attract his attention.

Concubine Hua was absorbed in the deal with Lingrong. She drank her wine absentmindedly and calculated the timing of her pregnancy. The secret letter she wrote to Nian Gengyao some time ago had already been sent out, and it was presumed that Nian Gengyao had received it by now.

Hua Fei didn't know whether she could find the relevant secret medicine where her brother was, but she couldn't bear it anymore. Every time she saw the queen's mocking face when she deliberately urged her to get pregnant and give birth, Hua Fei wanted her to die now!
