Concerned about Jinzhong and the emperor's lustful intentions, Huang Qiying did not dare to ask Wei Yanwan to be with her for the time being.

Jinzhong is fine, as long as she doesn't agree, he will never be able to get close to Yanwan even if he wants to; but if the emperor wants someone, it will be difficult for her to refuse, but the emperor still has some dignity, so he will not attack the palace maid around his son.

Another thing is that Wei Yanwan herself doesn’t really want to change jobs.

If she stayed with Yonghuang, she would be the most favored person around the eldest prince; but if she came to her own place, with Huanxin and Musk Moon around, it would be difficult for Wei Yanwan to make a name for herself. (Musk Moon was the maidservant Huang Qiying brought into the palace from the Huang family as a dowry)

So the matter of Wei Yanwan's job transfer was eventually shelved, and Yonghuang felt relieved.

Gao Xiyue has been a little worried lately. Jingqin and Jingyuan are both a bit too strong...

"Sister, you don't know, yesterday in my palace, I wasn't watching and Jingyuan pushed over the stone bench in the yard. That wasn't all, she and Jingqin actually rolled around with the stone bench as if it were a toy!

The wet nurses' hearts were about to beat out of their chests, but the two sisters were having a blast. Even seven or eight palace maids and nannies couldn't stop them!

In the end, I had to go back and call it quits, but I was so pissed off! "

Huang Qiying was not worried after hearing this, but rather looked proud. "Hahaha, you are worthy of being my child! You look like me!"

"Huang Qiying!" Gao Xiyue glared at her, "You're still laughing! As a princess, I don't expect them to be as elegant and graceful as Jingse, but they can't be as crazy as calves!

You," Gao Xiyue lowered her voice and continued to complain, "Do you know that the two kids went up to the roof and ripped off the tiles the night before last!

If you keep going like this, it will be disastrous! Will you still have a good reputation? How will you get married in the future?!"

"Hahaha, don't worry, sister. To be honest, I was like this when I was little. I climbed over walls and trees a lot.

Once, my grandma sprained her ankle and couldn't get out of bed, but she wanted to go out to bask in the sun. My father was not at home, and the grandmas couldn't move her. In the end, I secretly sent the servants away and carried her out. My grandma is three times heavier than me!

Another time, the youngest son of General Hu Wei and a few playboys from Lord Qi's family were looking for trouble with my second brother and his friends, saying they were cowards. I heard it and beat them up by myself so hard that they ran away in panic!

But in all these years that I've been in the boudoir, have you ever heard me say a bad word?"

"Yes, yes, you are strong and have a good reputation! So you are quite proud?"

"That's right! My sister, I was born with supernatural powers, which others can only envy! If I hadn't entered the royal family, I might have become a female general like the Loyal Marquis!"

Qin Liangyu, Marquis of Loyalty, was a female general in the late Ming Dynasty. The white-pole soldiers she led were well-known to everyone.

"Ah! You really say whatever you want. I admire General Qin, but you can't compare yourself to her! If someone takes advantage of you, you'll be in trouble!"

"Sister is right!" Huang Qiying was truly taught. Qin Liangyu was a famous general who fought against the Qing Dynasty. Comparing herself to her during the Qing Dynasty, where literary inquisitions were rampant, did give others a handle. Fortunately, all the people in this hall were her own people.

"But then again, sister, you don't have to worry too much about Jingqin and the others. The Manchu-Mongolian marriage is a national policy, and Jingqin and the others will probably not be able to escape from Fu Meng in the future.

To be honest with you, sister, ever since I found out that she and her sisters inherited my innate supernatural powers, I have wanted them to learn martial arts. I don’t ask them to become Mulan, but at least they can strengthen their bodies and protect themselves!

After all, if they really went to Mongolia, the mountains are high and the roads are long. If they had any conflicts with the prince consort, we are far away in the capital, and even if we want to protect them, we will be unable to do anything!

But if they can learn martial arts, at least they won't be at a disadvantage when fighting against the prince consort."

Gao Xiyue was moved by what she heard, but she was still hesitant. "Sister, your idea is good, but will the emperor agree to the princess learning martial arts? Even if the emperor loves the princess, if the news gets to the previous dynasty, those ministers will not support it!"

"Then just don't let them know."

"How to say?"

“Although Princess Jingse was raised in the Empress Dowager’s palace, the Emperor loved her so much that he turned a blind eye even when the Princess followed the Second Prince to study and practice martial arts every day.

Jingse can learn horse riding and archery from Master Wu, so why can't Jingqin and the others? If they can all learn horse riding and archery, then how far can they go from learning some boxing and kicking from Master Wu?"

"So, what does my sister mean?"

"Sister, let's do this..."

She leaned close to Gao Xiyue's ear and whispered a lot.

Gao Xiyue's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea. Leave it to me! However, before you accomplish this, you must talk to Jingqin and Jingyuan carefully. At least, don't go out of your way before the emperor agrees. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I can suppress the matter every time."

"Yes, don't worry, sister," Huang Qiying nodded like pounding garlic, "Let them stay here for one night. I will definitely return you a pair of beautiful ladies tomorrow."

"Talk again!"

After Gao Xiyue left, Huang Qiying called Jingqin and Jingyuan to her side and told them, "Okay, the imperial concubine has agreed to negotiate with the queen. You two stay here for one night. When you return to Yongshou Palace tomorrow, you don't have to scare her anymore."

Jingqin and Jingyuan looked at each other and smiled, "Thank you very much, mother, for your concern~"

Before the Emperor could approve the matter of Jingqin and her sister learning martial arts, the first snow of the year fell.

Along with the first snow came a piece of good news - Wan Chang of Zhongcui Palace was more than a month pregnant.

At the Queen's suggestion, the pregnant Chen Wanyin was successfully promoted to a noble lady.

All the palaces were busy congratulating the newly appointed Concubine Wan, but the Queen Mother was furious to find that her two chess pieces did not obey her orders!

Bai Ruiji was now content with having a daughter, and she didn't even think about vying for favor. There was no point in competing. Not only had she been severely weakened by childbirth, but she hadn't fully recovered from it either. During her confinement, she had been busy pursuing revenge and hadn't been able to take care of herself.

The imperial physician concluded that she was not suitable to get pregnant in the next few years, so Hongli rarely summoned her and only visited the Seventh Princess occasionally.

Bai Ruiji did not force it. As long as the Imperial Household Department did not treat her and her daughter harshly, she was too lazy to follow the Empress Dowager's orders and make a fuss.

And A Ruo has been using the Empress Dowager from the beginning to the end. After she got into Changchun Palace with Linglingxiang and Qingying, she only had a face for the Empress Dowager.

The harem is peaceful now, and the Queen Mother is shocked. How can she possibly interfere with the power of the palace if the harem is not in chaos?

So Zhen Huan, who had no one under her command, began to look for new people for the emperor, among whom was Yehenara Yihuan, the daughter of Minister Nalan Yongshou.

In history, Shu Fei's sister was Empress Fucha's sister-in-law and the wife of Fucha Fuheng. But in this world, Yihuan did not marry into the Fucha family's sister. It is no wonder that she bypassed the empress to enter the palace and was recommended by the empress dowager.

However, before Yihuan appeared, another beauty caught the Empress Dowager's eye through Prince Guo Hongzhou - Ulanara Qingning.

"Resemble, really resemble," the Queen Mother circled around Qing Ning, nodding in admiration. "Good child, you are so blessed. Your father and aunt gave you such a face. You are destined to enter the palace and become a favorite concubine in this life!"

"Just like I and the late emperor back then." Thinking of the past, Zhen Huan felt gloomy. After all, being someone else's substitute wasn't something worth remembering. But having such a substitute in her own right was a truly wonderful feeling. When Yixiu used her to compete with Nian Shilan, she must have felt just as proud, right?

How things change! Who could have imagined that the humble noblewoman would rise to prominence, while the old phoenix who had treated her as a pawn has now fallen to the ground in the mud. His two nieces are even more frantic, with one going mad and the other soon to repeat her fate, becoming the new emperor's substitute concubine, a pawn in Zhen Huan's hand...

Ulanara Qingning is Qingying's half-sister. Her aunt made a mistake, and she was sent to a farm outside Beijing to fend for herself when she was pregnant. Fourteen years passed in the blink of an eye.

Qingying went mad and her father died. However, the growing Qingning was rescued from the clutches of a cunning slave by a passing Hongzhou.

Hongzhou had seen Qingying before, so when he saw Qingning's face, which was 70% similar to Qingying's when she was young, he knew that he had found the person the Empress Dowager wanted!

(Qingning's appearance and personality can be substituted for Xiao Taiping)

The Queen Mother was overjoyed to see such a good seedling. She immediately went to find someone who had served Qingying to train Qingning.

The experience of the old rival Yixiu is still very meaningful for reference. She wants to train a perfect beautified substitute for Qingying for the emperor!
