The Queen of the TV Series: Take turns to sit in my house this year

If they wanted to strike the Queen, they couldn't ignore the Queen Mother. And with the Queen Mother, Xia Dongchun helped them a little.

In the dead of winter in the fifth year of the Yongzheng reign, the Fourteenth Prince, who had been imprisoned in Jingshan by the Emperor, died. The Empress Dowager, overwhelmed by the pain of seeing her son die, suddenly fell ill. (I'm sorry, Fourteenth Prince, I've made you die again~)

Qi Yuebin dragged his sick body to the Empress Dowager's palace to serve her. After returning, the Empress Dowager died with regret. The Empress had lost her greatest supporter.

Before the Queen Mother passed away, Zhen Huan, through her connections with Jin Xi and Su Peisheng, had the Emperor give in. So Zhen Huan attended the Queen Mother's funeral, and her previous confinement was lifted.

However, the queen was reported to the emperor by her adopted son Hongshi not long after.

"Your Majesty, my mother's death was not an accident. It was because your Majesty sent someone to give her the tea sets used by the epidemic workers that she..." Hongshi choked up and cried bitterly. He had a thousand words to say, but in the end, he could only say one sentence: "Your Majesty, please make a decision for me and your mother!"

Fat Orange looked solemn. "Are you saying that the Queen killed Concubine Qi?"

"Yes! The Empress Dowager not only killed me, she also wanted to kill Aunt Cuiguo to silence her! Fortunately, God has a vision. Aunt Cuiguo's heart is located differently from that of ordinary people, on the right side of her chest. This is how Aunt Cuiguo managed to escape the assassins sent by the Empress Dowager. Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I beg you to thoroughly investigate my mother's death and give her justice!"

Hongshi's discovery of these matters was naturally due to the covert assistance of Qi Yuebin and Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan's actions were not hidden from the Emperor, but under his interrogation, she frankly admitted the truth behind her mistakenly wearing Chunyuan's old clothes and her first miscarriage. She even revealed the red musk beads awarded by the Empress to Guarjia Wenyuan and the abortion-inducing musk she had discovered beneath the osmanthus tree in Suiyuxuan.

Intuition told Pang Ju that Zhen Huan was not lying. Pang Ju felt a chill in his heart. If it was really the Queen, then were all his miscarriages and stillborn children over the years really just accidents?

Queen, how dare she!

The emperor was furious and sent someone to invite the eunuch Jiang Fuhai, the chief eunuch of Jingren Palace, and the head maid Huichun to the Ministry of Punishment for tea.

The interrogation results made Pangju very disappointed. The crimes committed by Queen Yixiu were simply innumerable, and the truth about Queen Chunyuan's death made him furious.

"Evil woman! Chunyuan is your biological sister. Aren't you afraid that Chunyuan and the child will come and take your life if you wake up in your dreams?"

At the final moment that determines Yixiu's fate, Qi Yuebin does not allow anyone to ruin her plan.

So, Zhu Xi, who was supposed to bring the Queen Mother's decree to rescue Yi Xiu, was knocked out by Qi Yuebin's men with a meal laced with sleeping pills. When she woke up, everything was over.

The queen was deposed, Jianqiu died for her master, and Princess Longyue returned to her mother's arms.

Before dawn, Qi Yuebin dragged his broken body to see the deposed queen off for the last time. When he came out of Jingren Palace, the brilliant morning sun had just risen.

Qi Yuebin covered her face with her hands and said regretfully, "I'm afraid I'll never see such beautiful sunshine again."

"Don't talk nonsense, my lady. There are still many days to come. I will accompany you out to bask in the sun every day."

"Cough, cough, cough. Okay." In order not to upset Jixiang, Qi Yuebin coughed twice with great effort and agreed to her words. But both the master and the servant knew in their hearts that it was just wishful thinking.

That night, Xia Dongchun received the news that "Empress Duan has passed away."

The last person in the palace who truly loved the emperor had died. Xia Dongchun suddenly became the highest-ranking person in the palace. After Yixiu's death, she was promoted to Imperial Concubine, along with Concubine Wan and Zhen Huan. With no heir in the palace, power was divided equally between Xia Dongchun, Zhen Huan, and Feng Ruozhao.

Xia Dongchun, who became a noble concubine, ran to Yikun Palace holding the imperial edict and cried in front of Hua Fei's tablet, "Sister, after you left, I became like you."

Fat Orange, who had come over to eavesdrop on a whim, said: "Human, can you have some self-awareness? My Se-ran is not as stupid as you!"

In the early summer of the sixth year of Yongzheng's reign, the Manchu officials of the previous dynasty were dissatisfied with the power of the Han army concubines and proposed that the emperor marry a new queen on the grounds that the harem could not be without a queen for a day.

In the Changchun Fairy Pavilion of the Old Summer Palace, Xia Dongchun sat in the main seat, petting the cat and eating watermelon, while Feng Ruozhao was counting accounts with an abacus. Zhen Huan was afraid of cats, so she chose a seat farthest away from Xia Dongchun to meet with the maids in charge.

After a busy morning, the work finally ended. Feng Ruozhao and Zhen Huan were so tired that their backs ached and their mouths were dry. However, Xia Dongchun slept well and ate until his belly was full, which made Zhen Huan speechless.

Feng Ruozhao drank a cup of tea and, after receiving Zhen Huan's signal, began to blatantly test her. "Recently, there's been a lot of buzz about the issue of establishing a queen. I heard that the princess of the Shaji Fucha clan is very popular. Aren't the two majesties worried?"

Xia Dongchun said heartlessly, "What's there to worry about? No matter who becomes the queen, I'm still the imperial concubine, right?"

"I don't believe it! If Lao Deng really dares to marry a new queen, I will make sure he doesn't live to see his wedding!" Xia Dongchun added in her heart.

Fat Orange, who was reviewing the memorial to establish the emperor, suddenly felt a chill on his back.

The Fucha family, which had the highest support, was not so happy either.

The Emperor is almost fifty years old, and his health isn't necessarily good. He might die any day. Ma Qi couldn't bear to see his beautiful niece go to the palace to serve a half-buried old man, even if that man was the Emperor. If it was the next Emperor, he might consider it.

Thinking of this, old man Ma Qi sighed inwardly, "Alas! Why doesn't the emperor have a good son who can be shown off? If the third prince had been more capable, or if the fourth prince had a more glorious family background, why would he have to worry so much about his niece's marriage?

Oh! It's so difficult!

Fu Cha Ma Qi, who was picky about the royal father and son, soon had no time to worry. Fat Orange issued six imperial edicts in a row, catching everyone off guard!

Among these six imperial edicts, only one was related to the harem: the daughter of the fourth-rank ceremonial official Niuhulu Lingzhu was named Xi Fei by the emperor and was granted the right to live in Jingren Palace.

Concubine Xi was thirty-two years old at the time and had been engaged three times. However, the men's fate was too weak and they died early before the wedding. Concubine Xi's marriage was thus delayed.

When rumors of establishing a queen began to grow, a minister suggested that Niuhulu had a noble destiny and was a good match for the emperor.

Pang Ju had no intention of enthroning a new queen for the time being, so he randomly picked a candidate for the successor and made her a concubine. He also deliberately placed her in Jingren Palace to silence the gossips of the people.

In addition, the third prince Hongshi was betrothed to Dong'e, the daughter of Shangshu Xilda; the fourth prince was betrothed to Wu Zhaku, the daughter of Deputy Governor Wu Shiku; the fifth prince Hongzhou was betrothed to Fucha, the daughter of the former Chahar governor; Shen Beile Yunxi was betrothed to Ulanara, the niece of Empress Chunyuan; and Prince Guo Yunli was betrothed to Meng Jingxian, the legitimate daughter of Duke Meng.

The protagonists who received the imperial edict had different reactions. The three princes were very happy, their in-laws were also quite satisfied, and the Duke Meng's Mansion was even more joyous.

But Shen Beile and Guo Junwang were different.

Yunxi was fine; still young and inexperienced in love, he was simply surprised and curious. He was surprised his brother would consider arranging a marriage for him, and he was curious about the character of his future wife. Would she be as kind and beautiful as Empress Chunyuan, or as cruel and merciless as the deposed empress?

The one who couldn't accept it the most was Prince Guo Yunli. He could not forget their first meeting in the Plum Garden (the small statue praying for blessings), their footplay in the lotus pond (the sister-in-law's white feet), their heart-to-heart talk on the Tung Blossom Terrace (the evening jasmine flowers), and their historical discussions on a boat on the lake (Xi Shi and Fan Li)...

"Huan'er..." Unable to disobey the order, Yunli hid in the palace holding the purse containing Zhen Huan's portrait and secretly got drunk.

Equally flustered was Fat Orange's Chun Yuan figurine, Zhen Huan. Ever since the imperial decree granting the marriage, Zhen Huan had lost count of how many times she'd lost herself. She kept asking herself, "I knew it was impossible from the beginning, so why am I still so heartbroken?"

Xia Dongchun, who had successfully instigated Pangju to do many bad things, was happily humming songs in her own palace. Funing and Hongyao clapped their hands and jumped around to the tuneless singing of their mother. The three of them had a great time.

Fat Orange, who came to see her, was very puzzled: Of her four sons, only Xiaoliu hadn't found a marriage, so why was Dashachun so happy? Wasn't she worried about Hongyao at all?

Xia Dongchun: Don't worry, your good eldest son Hongli will help the three of us clear the obstacles~

At the end of the summer vacation this year, Pangju brought Concubine Yu and her son and the Fourth Prince Hongli back to the palace.

Hongli originally wanted to continue cooperating with Zhen Huan, but the appearance of Concubine Xi made Hongli waver. After returning to the palace, Hongli considered the two for a long time and finally chose Concubine Xi, who was from the Manchu military flag.

Concubine Xi was already quite old, and after entering the palace, the emperor showed her little favor, not to mention that as the only high-ranking concubine of the Manchu military flag in the palace, she did not even have any rights at all!

A concubine who doesn't want to be the empress dowager is not a good concubine. Concubine Xi also wants to stand out, so Nianhulu, who has no children and it is too late to have one even if she does now, and Hongli, who is equally ambitious, hit it off at first sight.

After some planning by the two, Hongli soon became Xi Fei's adopted son (the imperial certificate was not changed).

But this incident greatly hurt Zhen Huan's heart, so when she found out that Xia Dongchun and Concubine Yu had formed an alliance to suppress Concubine Xi, Zhen Huan chose to stand by and watch.

The marriages of the princes naturally followed the order of seniority. After the empress dowager's mourning period, the third prince Hongli was the first to get married, and luckily he had the marriage with his first wife.

Fat Ju valued Dong E's child very much, after all, it would be his first grandchild. But this value made Hongli feel uneasy.

"Fourth brother, you are plotting against me? Why? I have treated you well!" Hongshi rushed to Hongli with red eyes and asked loudly.

"Third brother, I don't understand what you are saying."

"Fourth brother, I know!" Fifth Prince Hong Zhou suddenly appeared out of nowhere, "Brother, didn't you tell Third Brother that you wanted to go see Eighth Uncle and the others? After Third Brother heard what you said, he went back and begged the Emperor to forgive Eighth Uncle and Fourteenth Uncle, but was reprimanded by the Emperor for being disobedient and unfilial.

"Third brother, I know you must be very sad that the emperor gave you to your eighth uncle, but I grew up with my fourth brother. I know him better than anyone else. He would never harm his brothers! This must be a misunderstanding."

Hong Zhou, who had just come up and dismantled Hong Li's plan and then solemnly vouched for Hong Li's character, said a lot of things and then pulled Hong Li's sleeve and urged him, "Fourth brother, explain to Third brother quickly!"

"Hong Zhou? Who told you this?"

"Ah?" Hong Zhou touched his head. "No one told me. Uh... well, when you were talking to Third Brother that day, my Sixth Brother and I were playing hide-and-seek in Third Brother's yard, and we accidentally overheard it."

Hongli: A bolt from the blue!

Fat Orange, who was eavesdropping: "Good, good, they are really my good sons! One is stupid as hell, one is wicked as hell, and the other one, humph! This stinky brat, who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, has already figured out how to set a trap for his father."

At this point, how could Fat Ju still not see the plan of Hongli and Hongzhou?

As a result, Hongshi was adopted by the commoner Yunti (fourteenth), while Hongli shot himself in the foot and was adopted by Pangju to the criminal Aqina (eighth Yunsi). Both of them were expelled from the palace.

As for Hong Zhou, before Fatty Ju could slap him, the kid was so scared that he fell seriously ill.

Of course, Hong Zhou was just pretending to be sick. He was very experienced in this and people who were not medical students could not tell at all. Moreover, everyone in the Imperial Hospital had the same tongue.

But the others didn't know! They only knew that the emperor had a fit and nearly crippled three of his sons in one go.

Then the ministers screamed, "Your Majesty, you are not the late emperor! You don't have so many sons for you to torture! Please take it easy!"

Xilda and Wushiku, who were implicated, were so full of curse words that they couldn't utter a single word. What the hell was going on?

Silda: My daughter just gave birth to a big fat boy for your Ai family. Is this how you reward her?

Wu Shiku: My daughter hasn't married into your Laoai family yet, and Your Majesty doesn't want your son anymore. So can you cancel the engagement for us?

The Fucha family narrowly escaped the disaster: Phew! That was a close call.
