After Yinzhen left, the imperial edict was immediately issued to the six palaces. Everyone was gnashing their teeth in hatred. Not only were there two pregnant concubines in Xianfu Palace, but both of them were also canonized at the same time. This was what many people dreamed of.

In Yikun Palace, shouts and scoldings continued to be heard: "Be gentle... I told you to be gentle... Can't you even apply medicine? You are so clumsy."

The maidservant carefully applied the medicine while enduring the constant verbal abuse coming from above her head.

When he heard the news that Concubine Jing was pregnant and had been promoted, he was stunned at first, but when he finally reacted, he didn't get angry, but was surprised!

Hua Fei raised her hand to call Song Zhi over: "Go! Check it out quickly. This Jingpin, oh no, Jingfei, has been drinking pregnancy-maintaining medicine for years without any signs of pregnancy. How come she suddenly got pregnant?"

Songzhi was also happy. Does this mean that her queen can also do it? "Yes, I will send someone to inquire about it right away."

Concubine Hua: "I laughed at her. I want to know what method she used? And why did she suddenly come up with this idea?"

"There's nothing wrong with my body. It doesn't make sense that she can get pregnant but I can't. Go, hurry up."

The excitement at the moment made her forget that she was injured. She sat up anxiously and said, "Hiss~"

Concubine Hua threw the massage jade in her hand to the little palace maid and said, "I told you to be gentle..."

In Jingren Palace, Yixiu leaned against the pillow while her maid rubbed the bruises on her body. The pain made her forehead sweat. She had really suffered a great deal this time.

If it wasn't for Concubine Hua throwing her down, it wouldn't have been like this. If she said Concubine Hua had no selfish motives, she would never believe it.

But this banquet was a joke. The news spread throughout the Forbidden City, and even the Empress Dowager sent people to inquire about it. She was so upset that she couldn't even raise her head.

This banquet was truly a failure. Concubine Hua had implicated her, and Concubine Ning's pregnancy hadn't been aborted, leaving Concubine Wan to take advantage. Then, on New Year's Eve, she was injured, and the Emperor returned to the Yangxin Palace. It was truly a loss of both the wife and the army...

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict from the Qianqing Palace came to announce the news that Jingpin was pregnant and promoted to the position of concubine, and that Shen Meizhuang was promoted to the position of concubine.

Upon hearing this, Yixiu was extremely surprised. Why wasn't this matter discussed with her in advance? Why did she and the other six palaces know about it? Was the emperor also angry with her because of the banquet?

Concubine Ning hasn't even been aborted yet, and now Concubine Jing is here? Wasn't she harmed by Concubine Hua's Huanyi Fragrance? How could she be pregnant? Could Concubine Hua also be involved?

No! My eldest prince is gone, and you guys want to give birth to a royal heir without even considering whether you're compatible or not!

And this Concubine Ning, I used to think she was useless and couldn't even escape Hua Fei's little tricks. I never thought that she would be burned in the eyes.

Looking back now, it was not that she couldn't escape it. It was obvious that she was deliberately being punished so that she could avoid everyone's attention and keep the pregnancy safe for more than three months.

I have always looked down on her. I prevented her promotion last night, and I don't know what method I used today to make the emperor bring it up again and directly decide on it. It's really hateful.

She was lucky to have escaped yesterday, but she wouldn't be so lucky again in the future: "Jianqiu...Jianqiu, why didn't I see Jianqiu today?"

Huichun hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, Jianqiu was also injured yesterday and is now recuperating."

Yixiu thought angrily that she was knocked down by Concubine Hua yesterday, and then someone else bumped into her. It was Jianqiu who pounced on her and created a little gap for her, so that she was not injured more seriously.

Thinking of this, she instructed Huichun, "Give Jianqiu the best medicine. If you need anything else, please inform me immediately."

Huichun bowed and responded.

Thinking of the current chaotic situation, Yixiu began to have a headache again.

At yesterday's palace banquet, Zhen Huan's plum blossom makeup was too similar to her sister's. We must not continue to indulge Zhen Huan, otherwise there is no guarantee that a second Chun Yuan will appear.

The emperor's care for Concubine Wan has far exceeded her expectations. Now, everyone in the palace is restless.

You must train Wan Guiren, both physically and mentally. Only after he is trained well can you use him with confidence!

Yixiu: "Huichun, how is Xia Changzai?"

Huichun thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, from what I know, she was punished by Concubine Hua to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors and receive ten slaps a day. She doesn't act arrogantly in public."

"The lockdown was lifted before the New Year, but the scars on my face haven't fully healed yet. I think they should be better this month."

This Concubine Xia is really useless. She is too simple-minded and only knows how to act recklessly. I'm afraid she is not very useful. I hope she doesn't become the second Concubine Qi.

An Lingrong is quite clever, but if you want to use her to your advantage, you have to use some tricks.

She is on good terms with Concubine Wan and Concubine Ning, so it would be easier for her to take action against them.

The three people that Yixiu was thinking about were gathered in Changxi Hall at this time, and Shen Meizhuang was sitting on the couch reading a book.

Seeing An Lingrong and Zhen Huan coming, he immediately greeted them: "I sent someone out to inquire this morning. I was relieved to know that Sister An was okay. I didn't expect that you two would come to see me at the same time. I am so honored."

An Lingrong's eyes were a little evasive, but she wore a shy smile. "Sister, you were injured, and I was very worried. Later, when I heard the news of your promotion, I was even happier, so I thought of coming to congratulate you."

Even though many people in the palace were injured, it would be very conspicuous if she went out with this matter. She didn't want to come and was thinking of pretending to be sick, but when she heard about the promotion, she had to come.

Why can others easily get what she dreams of? Is she really that bad?

An Lingrong bowed solemnly and said, "I'm here to congratulate you on your promotion. This is the hand warmer I just embroidered. I hope you don't mind."

Shen Meizhuang reached out to take it, and her fingers stroked the bamboo leaf pattern embroidered on the hand warmer. The craftsmanship was really good, and it really looked like it was swaying.

Shen Meizhuang said happily: "My sister's embroidery is really good. I like this gift very much. It's cold now, so it's just right to hold it in my hand!"

An Lingrong lowered her head slightly again: "As long as Sister likes it."

Zhen Huan was not to be outdone: "I am here to congratulate you as well. I saw the pearl headpiece you were wearing yesterday and it was very beautiful. Today, when I was searching the storeroom, I found this pearl and jade hairpin gifted by the Emperor. It matches you very well, so I brought it here."

Shen Meizhuang opened the box and exclaimed, "Oh my! This is so exquisite."

The pearls inside were rich in color and not out of place, just what they could wear: "I like it very much, Sister Huan'er, thank you."

Humph! If you dare to give it, I dare to accept it. Let’s see who feels bad!

Zhen Huan smiled brighter: "As long as my sister likes it."

Shen Meizhuang suddenly remembered that Zhen Huan had been feeling unwell recently. Her symptoms were the same as hers and those of Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing diagnosed her with pregnancy. I wonder what the result was for Zhen Huan?

Shen Meizhuang: "Sister Huan'er, you've seemed sleepy and distracted lately. I wonder if you've asked the imperial physician to see you."

Zhen Huan nodded: "Thank you for your concern, sister. I just didn't get enough rest."

She specially went to see Doctor Wen to take her pulse today. He said it was due to fatigue and she just needed to rest more.

In fact, when she heard today that Concubine Jing was pregnant, she was overjoyed because her symptoms were exactly the same as Concubine Jing's.

That's why she couldn't wait to find Wen Shichu. Although she was a little disappointed that she didn't get pregnant, there was nothing wrong with her body after all. Given her current favor, it was only a matter of time before she got pregnant.

She was probably tired because these days, she was either accompanying the emperor, being detained in Jingren Palace, or exhausted from dealing with Concubine Hua.
