When the Empress Dowager was ill, Yinzhen never visited her once. Because the Empress Dowager had a deep-seated resentment, her illness kept recurring. Not only did it not get better, it became even more serious.

And the death of Longkodo was finally put on Si'er, she herself died on the same day, from the same poisoned wine, the reason was, suicide for love!!!

Three months later, the Queen Mother was already ill and confused, and she had already made preparations for her funeral.

When the patient first fell ill, Yinzhen never visited him once. Later, when he saw that the patient was almost dying, he only visited him once every few days. He really didn't know how to deal with it.

On this day, everyone gathered in the Cining Palace, kneeling outside the hall and sobbing.

Yinzhen sat beside the empress dowager's bed. Even at the last moment, the empress dowager did not forget her family and called Qingying to her side.

Qingying cried sadly, tears streaming down her face, and gently grabbed the Queen Mother's hand.

The Queen Mother gazed deeply at Qingying, her eyes full of reluctance. After a while, she turned her gaze to Yinzhen.

"Qingying is a good person. She is the one I am most worried about. No one will make decisions for her in the future...Emperor..."

Yinzhen interrupted her, his attitude still indifferent: "Madam, I will find her a good marriage and will take good care of her."

The Queen Mother was a little anxious: "You know that I want you to marry her, but at this moment, are you still pretending to be confused?"

"I didn't ask you to...make her the queen, I just wanted someone to enter the harem."

The Queen Mother's breath became weaker and weaker, and her eyes began to blur.

Yinzhen raised his eyes to look at Qingying and thought, it's okay to agree, it's just to support one more person, but the other party was angry and refuted it first.

Qingying immediately shook off the Queen Mother's hand: "Grandmother, Qingying does not want to marry the Emperor. Qingying wants to find a beloved person to spend her life with. How can you make the decision on your own?"

Yinzhen was surprised and the empress dowager was annoyed. They could not believe that these were words spoken by a little girl.

The Queen Mother: "What did you say? Say it again?"

Qingying was a little timid, and her voice was much softer: "Qingying doesn't want to get married... Qingying doesn't want to be a concubine..."

The Queen Mother was furious: "You—you."

Pointing at Qingying, the emperor softened his attitude. She actually dared to refute him.

"I... no matter whether you agree or not, it's settled."

The Queen Mother seemed to have used up all her strength, and was breathing out more than she was breathing in.

"Qingying doesn't want it, Grandma, Qingying doesn't want it."

"Wuwuwu, Qingying, don't..."

The Queen Mother used up her last bit of strength, opened her eyes wide, opened her mouth, and then fell silent...

The Queen Mother passed away

After the eunuch finished singing loudly, the concubines kneeling in the hall all began to sob.

Yinzhen left with heavy steps.

one year later

The mourning period for the empress dowager has passed. In the previous dynasty, Shen Meizhuang's father submitted a memorial on flood control, which included various plans based on the conditions in various places and also included a cement recipe.

After testing its hardness, Yinzhen laughed out loud: "Good, my dear minister, great achievement."

"My dear minister, please return to the capital to report on your work. I will leave the flood control to you and grant you a new house."

"I would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness!"

Yinzhen smiled happily: "Come here, pass on my order..."

Shen Meizhuang has been waiting for news in the harem. She knew that her father would enter the palace today, but she didn't know what arrangements the emperor would make.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Eunuch Su has arrived, what a joy..."

Shen Meizhuang was overjoyed and went out to greet him excitedly.

As soon as Su Peisheng entered Qixiang Palace, he raised his little face and bowed: "Your servant congratulates the Empress!"

"The Emperor not only promised you to come to the capital to serve as an official, but also promoted the entire family to the Zhenglan Banner."

Shen Meizhuang's eyebrows curved even more, and the people around her also joined in the congratulations.

Su Peisheng raised his hand and unfolded the imperial edict: "I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"Concubine Ning receives the imperial edict"

In Qixiang Palace, everyone knelt in front of the incense table.

"Ning Fei Shen Meizhuang is beautiful and intelligent...her character is noble. Therefore, she is promoted to Noble Consort. Her title will be retained. A date will be chosen for the enthronement ceremony. I decree this!"

"Your Majesty, I, Shen Meizhuang, thank you for your grace!"

It was a pleasant surprise. She thought her father would be promoted and might even be given a higher rank, but she didn't expect that the emperor would reward her as well.

"Alas, Imperial Concubine! Now she is on par with Nian Shilan. When you have time, go and piss her off."

Just make her angry openly. Anyway, they haven't quarreled openly for a long time. If they don't quarrel again, the emperor will be worried.

"Mother...Mother, congratulations..."

"Great job, let's celebrate together!"

The emperor gave Hongyan this name at his first birthday banquet, and the little guy's meals have been getting better and better every day.

If he didn't find anything delicious at her place, she would secretly ask someone to carry him to Yiku Palace.

When Nian Shilan saw him, she was so happy! She gave him everything he asked for, treating him like her own son.

At the first birthday party, she was afraid that someone would take action, so except for her people, all the others were Nian Shilan's people, leaving no room for anyone to get in.

In private, the little guy is very talkative. As long as there are no outsiders around, he knows to call Nian Shilan his godmother.

I coaxed him so much that I did nothing else all day long but wanted to find new and interesting toys for him.

Time passed quickly, and it was the fourteenth year of Yongzheng's reign. After the mourning period, the emperor began to recruit people to serve him in bed. During these years, Cao Qinmo had a son and was successfully promoted to the position of concubine.

Fucha Guiren gave birth to a daughter, and there was no more news of pregnancy after that.

Qingying finally entered the palace and was named a noble lady. However, she was too proud and arrogant to serve the emperor even when she was old enough. The emperor just let her do what she wanted and gradually forgot about her.

After years of hard work, Zhen Huan regained her position as a concubine, and then coaxed the emperor to register the Fourth Prince under her name.

She even hooked up with Prince Guo behind the emperor's back, and the three of them began to jump around in the former court, openly showing their desire to compete for the throne.

They have always regarded the throne as theirs because no one competes with them.

However, this is not the case. Shen Meizhuang has always been concerned that her son will be fine as long as he behaves well in front of the emperor and does not hide his shortcomings.

As for the previous dynasty, Nian Gengyao retired in name, but in fact, he often led troops, and those who depended on them had a tacit understanding, which was to support the sixth prince, Hongyan, when fighting for the throne.

Even if the emperor did not confer titles or select them, with the military power in their hands, it would be easy for them to rebel.

In addition, the reputation of the Tong Mansion and Tong Banchao was not earned in vain. Yue Xing'a was in full control of the clan. With the support of the entire clan over the years, his position was promoted rapidly.

As the name suggests, half of the officials in the court are related to the Tong family. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it should not be underestimated.

Finally, there was the Fucha family, who also secretly surrendered, but the emperor did not choose the Fucha family to marry Hongli.

The most important thing is the Shen family. With such a configuration, what is there to fight for? Zhen Huan is just a jumping clown.

Just when the emperor was not feeling so well, Zhen Huan coaxed him into promoting her to the position of concubine.

On the day of the enthronement ceremony, Zhen Huan appeared in front of Yinzhen in the auspicious dress of Concubine Chunyuan.
