With the song "Drunk in the Flower Shade", Yihuan made a stunning appearance. Even with the curse of the Yehenara family, it could not stop Hongli's restless heart.

Out of some kind of bad taste, when Hongli finished saying to Yihuan, "You make me very happy, so I grant you the title of Shu," Huang Qiying laughed and interrupted, "Sister Shu has an extraordinary temperament. Among all the concubines in the palace, only a talented woman like Xianchang can compete with Sister Shu~"

Qing Ning understood the meaning immediately and responded tacitly, "Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Yi is absolutely right. Sister Shu is as talented as her elder sister, and I think she will be able to get along well with her elder sister. Your Majesty~"

It is inevitable that Sister Shu will feel uncomfortable when she first arrives. It is better to let Sister Shu live with her sister. This will not only ease the pain of separation between Concubine Shu and her parents, but also allow her sister to have more like-minded and caring people.

What do you think, sister?"

"Your Majesty, I like Sister Shu. If Sister Shu does not abandon me, I am willing to give up the main seat of Jingren Palace to welcome Sister Shu." Qingying replied generously.

She knew that Concubine Yi and her illegitimate sister Qing Ning had bad intentions in wanting to push Yihuan to her.

But she thought she had a bird's-eye view and knew that the emperor was wary of women from the Yehenara clan and would not allow Yihuan to give birth to a child. Furthermore, Yihuan was a rare devoted person in the palace. Therefore, Qingying did not mind that Yihuan might compete with her for favor after coming to Jingren Palace.

He glanced at Huang Qiying and Qing Ning with disdain, "In this palace, only I and Yihuan have the same feelings for the Emperor. How could others understand such a sincere love?"

Huang Qiying! Qing Ning! Don’t you just want to see me and Yihuan at odds?

Humph! I'm not what you want!

Hongli was very pleased with Qingying's understanding and consideration this time. "Qingying! I knew you were considerate. Then Concubine Shu will live in your Jingren Palace, and there is no need for the master's seat.

Qingying and I have been childhood sweethearts, and she has been by my side for many years. On this festive evening, I am deeply comforted, and I will restore Qingying to the status of Consort Xian."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qingying had indeed learned a lot of wisdom. Without waiting for the Queen and others to dissuade her, she immediately knelt down to thank the Emperor for his grace and confirmed her status as a noble lady.

"Congratulations to His Majesty on the birth of his beautiful wife, and congratulations to Sister Qingying on her restoration as Noble Lady Xian."

The Queen was a step slow and could only accept her fate. She pinched her palms and smiled virtuously and generously as she congratulated the Emperor and Qingying. However, she was actually annoyed in her heart at Huang Qiying and Qingning's unnecessary actions, which not only failed to arouse Qingying and Yihuan's dissatisfaction, but instead gave the Emperor the opportunity to promote Qingying.

Little did she know that the emperor had already stopped blaming Qingying. Qingying's release and promotion to the rank of concubine was a sign of this. Even if it wasn't today, the emperor would definitely find another opportunity to promote Qingying.

Because A Ruo is pregnant!

More than two months ago, A Ruo finally got her wish and became a true imperial concubine thanks to the spices given to her by Huang Qiying.

The Emperor was furious when he woke up, but with Jinzhong, who had two masters in his heart, no matter how hard he tried, he always found out that A'ruo was innocent. It was he who lost control of himself after drinking and mistook A'ruo for Qingying, which was why...

But he was still angry that he had betrayed Qingying and favored A Ruo, so he gave A Ruo a bowl of cold medicine afterwards.

Of course, with Huang Qiying around, A Ruo still got pregnant, and the fetus was very stable.

A Ruo took the initiative and knelt down before the emperor, crying and apologizing, saying that she might be pregnant and begging the emperor to give her a bowl of abortion medicine.

Hongli couldn't believe it, but the imperial physician confirmed that Aruo was indeed pregnant. As for the bowl of contraceptive soup two months ago, Jinzhong also said with a bitter face.

"Your Majesty! I dare not lie to you. I saw with my own eyes that Concubine Shen drank the contraceptive soup and then waited for an incense stick before leaving.

There's absolutely no way that Lady Shen could spit it out!"

Ah Ruo also followed suit and expressed her loyalty, "Your Majesty, I know that Princess Xian has not forgiven me yet, so you also have resentment towards me. In this situation, how could I be so smart as to keep the child?"

The imperial physician then stated that drinking contraceptive soup wasn't foolproof, and that Concubine Shen's situation wasn't unprecedented. He also said Concubine Shen's pregnancy was stable, implicitly and explicitly suggesting that Concubine Shen's child was destined for the royal family, and that it would be a shame to abort it.

Qing Ning had previously brainwashed Hongli by saying, "Sister likes the Fifth Prince so much, it shows that she really likes children.

Even if it wasn't her own child, she would still like it because it was the Emperor's flesh and blood. She liked the Emperor and he also liked children, so she liked the Emperor's child. It's a pity that there are no extra children in the palace for her to raise.

So after careful consideration, Hongli finally decided to keep A Ruo's baby and give it to Qingying to raise after it was born.

Ah Ruo also expressed her willingness, "Your Majesty, although I am reluctant to part with my flesh and blood, I was once plotted against by a treacherous person and misunderstood Master Xian, causing her to suffer injustice. I feel guilty towards Master Xian, and only if Master Xian can forgive me, I am willing to give the child to Master Xian. wuwuwu~"

So Hongli felt that it was more feasible. As long as A Ruo's child was given to Qingying, then his favoring of A Ruo would not be considered a betrayal of Qingying. Instead, it was for Qingying that he wronged himself and let A Ruo help Qingying to have a child through surrogacy!

This happened seven days ago, and the Empress hadn't noticed it yet. Hongli had already planned to have Qingying promoted to at least a concubine before A Ruo gave birth, so that she could raise A Ruo's child.

The reason why Yihuan was able to appear in front of the emperor today was because Qingning saw that she was about to lose the emperor's heart for Qingying, so she urged the empress dowager to introduce a new person to the emperor to share his favor, and Huang Qiying also went along with it.

With the old and new loves coexisting in the same palace, I imagine that Jingren Palace will be filled with the emperor's unending favor for a long time to come. I hope the emperor can endure the favor of this beauty.

Yihuan was delighted that she could finally enter the palace to accompany the emperor, and at the same time she was grateful that Qingying was willing to accept her kindness.

As for the fear and vigilance of others, she didn't care. She only had eyes for the emperor and those who truly cared about him. People like Huang Qiying, who were obsessed with fame and wealth, were not worth her attention.

Qingying was more and more satisfied with the favor of the emperor and Yihuan. She looked at Huang Qiying and others with a sneer in her eyes. It was as if she was laughing at her and Qingning for lifting a rock and shooting themselves in the foot.

Huang Qiying noticed the disdain in Qingying's eyes, raised her eyebrows, and raised her glass to toast her.

The emperor's attitude during this period may have made Qingying forget the strange smell on her body. Although there is the aura of true love between the male and female protagonists, Hongli is not really indifferent to Qingying's strange smell.

Although Hongli loves Qingying now, he doesn't have the courage to hit a home run. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let A Ruo get the upper hand.

But the emperor would never just look at Yihuan without liking her. But when Yihuan was under her nose and receiving her favor day and night, Qingying could still be so "gentle as a chrysanthemum".

The news of A Ruo's pregnancy was kept secret until she was three months pregnant. The Empress was bitter; she had lost Yong Lian, while her concubines were getting pregnant one after another...

However, A Ruo was a palace maid who rose to power and was not favored by the emperor. So although the queen was unhappy, she would never take action against A Ruo.

The same goes for others. Those who are capable are too lazy to take action, and those who want to do so have neither the opportunity nor the ability to do so.

Only Qingying was in disbelief. "Impossible! This is impossible! How could A Ruo be pregnant? How could the Emperor let her get pregnant?"

"It's clear that in the previous life, the emperor never touched A Ruo at all. A Ruo was always kneeling at the head of the bed!"
