The news that Shen Meizhuang was pregnant was about to spread, and it was time to go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat. Everyone moved to the Old Summer Palace, but An Lingrong was not among them.

Until Jiang Wenqing was transporting grain and grass and was robbed by rebel soldiers and fled on the battlefield. Fortunately, his subordinate An Bihuai, the magistrate of Songyang County, was fearless and organized young men to recover the grain and grass, kill the rebel soldiers, and kidnapped Jiang Wenqing for dereliction of duty.

After the matter was reported to Pang Ju by Jeju Assistant Commander Shen Zishan, Pang Ju was relieved and ordered the former magistrate Jiang Wenqing to be dismissed and beheaded, and commended the county magistrate An Bihuai and ordered him to take over the position of magistrate of Songyang County.

An Bihuai's achievements would naturally benefit his daughter An Lingrong, who was a concubine in the harem. However, An Lingrong was not favored after all, so Pangju initially just asked Su Peisheng to pick some things from his private warehouse to reward An Lingrong.

Or maybe the Queen was eager to support the newcomer to win the Emperor's favor, so she advised the Emperor to bring An Changzai to the Old Summer Palace for summer vacation. Fat Ju would not refuse Yixiu's face for such a small matter.

When An Lingrong arrived at the Old Summer Palace, she was greeted by Yixiu's kindness.

But obviously, An Lingrong, who now seems disheartened, is not moved by the Queen's help in allowing her to escape the summer heat in the Old Summer Palace. Helplessly, Yixiu can only endure her unhappiness and use her child to persuade her to fight for herself.

"You're still young, you can have children in the future. Even if you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider the child you never had. Who knows, if you get pregnant next time, that child will come back?"

Hearing this, his eyes, which had been as calm as water, lit up.

Yixiu knew she had spoken to her heart. Little did she know that all this was An Lingrong's own plan. Even An Bihuai's meritorious service was a loss to her daughter. She gave An Bihuai the Loyalty Pill and the Enlightenment Pill.

When An Lingrong left Yixiu's place, she could be said to have returned with a lot of gains, but it was because An Lingrong was dressed too simply. How could she not have good equipment to compete for favor?

So Yixiu rewarded her with a lot of clothes and jewelry, Lingrong gladly accepted them, and Yixiu was also very happy, because the things she gave were more or less added with some good contraceptive things.

At Wen Yi's first birthday party, Concubine Hua did not miss this good opportunity to stir up trouble. Cao Qinmo stood up and asked the sisters to show off their skills to liven up the atmosphere. The Queen and An Lingrong exchanged glances.

So, before Zhen Huan performed the stunning dance, An Lingrong first played the pipa and sang "Spring River Moon Night", which won applause from the whole audience.

It is said that her pipa skills were taught by Gao Xiyue herself when she was Huang Qiying. Although different from the techniques of Queen Chunyuan, she can be called a national master in terms of skills alone.

An Lingrong's face lit up, and the Emperor and Empress were both very happy, except for Concubine Hua, who looked unhappy. She was even thinking about inviting An Lingrong to play the pipa for her after the banquet!

Fortunately, the next step was the trap she and Cao Qinmo had set for Zhen Huan, so even though she was not happy that the emperor rewarded An Lingrong with a mother-of-pearl and rosewood five-string pipa from the Tang Dynasty, she was still able to remain calm.

However, they didn't expect that Zhen Huan had been learning the Jinghong Dance since she was young, and with the help of Prince Guo, even the picky Prince Dun had to admit that Zhen Huan did have something.

If An Lingrong's pipa music only satisfied Pang Ju, then Zhen Huan's stunning dance could be called a surprise!

He also discovered the shadow of Queen Chunyuan in Zhen Huan. Fat Ju was so happy that he was about to burst into bubbles. With a wave of his hand, he gave Zhen Huan the famous zither Chang Xiangsi that the late emperor had given to Concubine Shu.

The preciousness of Chang Xiangsi is not comparable to the pipa that An Lingrong got today. Whether it is the name of the pipa itself or the relationship between the late emperor and Concubine Shu, it is enough to make everyone in the harem envious.

Concubine Hua's face was really dark this time. Feeling the murderous gaze of Concubine Hua, Cao Qinmo couldn't help but tremble.

Yixiu picked up the wine glass and drank it all with a smile. Although she was not happy that the emperor was attracted to other women, as long as Concubine Hua was unhappy, she was happy. The twisted pleasure made her eyebrows and eyes soften.

After the banquet, Concubine Wan and Concubine An were both favored, and together with the pregnant Concubine Hui, they almost took up all the emperor's leisure time. Concubine Hua could no longer tolerate it and forced Cao Qinmo to take action immediately, otherwise, she would never get Wen Yi back!

Cao Qinmo had no choice, and she didn't want any more children in the palace to take away the emperor's favor for Wen Yi, so she plotted against An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang.

If Shen Meizhuang's child was killed by An Lingrong, then Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan would definitely compete with An Lingrong. At that time, both sides would suffer losses. Wouldn't the ones who benefit be Concubine Hua and her Wen Yi?

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is very ugly.

When the emperor's Saker Falcon rushed over, An Lingrong immediately moved away from Shen Meiyu. Even though the servant bribed by Cao Qinmo deliberately pushed her towards Shen Meiyu, An Lingrong used her strength to reverse the direction of her fall in time.

The end result was that An Lingrong sprained her ankle and could not sleep with the emperor for a short time. Although Shen Meiyu was bleeding from the fall, the child was saved by the skilled doctor Wen Shichu.

An Lingrong revealed that someone deliberately pushed her towards Concubine Hui before she fell, and suspected that Haidongqing's madness this time was not an accident.

The Queen took over the heavy responsibility of investigating the case. In order to protect herself, Concubine Hua had to push Lipin, the actual executor of the incident, out to avoid disaster.

Although the Queen felt sorry that An Lingrong could not sleep with the Emperor after being injured, leaving Zhen Huan to monopolize the Emperor's favor, Yixiu was generally satisfied that Zhen Huan had taken away Hua Fei's palace power and cut off her arms.

But after just a few days of peace, the news of Zhen Huan's pregnancy came out. Not only was Concubine Hua unable to sit still, but Concubine Yixiu herself almost lost her composure in front of the Emperor.

The Queen Mother even sent her confidant Zhu Xi to tell Yixiu again and again that Zhen Huan's pregnancy must be saved!

Since the emperor ascended the throne, concubines in the palace have suffered miscarriages one after another. The Eighth Prince's party has begun to spread the word that the emperor came to power illegitimately and that is why God is punishing him by not allowing him to have children. So this time, neither Shen Meizhuang, who has started burning moxa to protect the fetus, nor Zhen Huan, who has just been diagnosed with pregnancy, can have any more accidents!

But Yixiu agreed on the surface, then turned around and sent Shen Meizhuang's child downstairs to accompany her Prince Honghui.

When the news reached the palace, the Queen Mother was almost irritated to death by Yixiu!

This time, Yixiu again wanted Concubine Hua to take the blame, just like when Concubine Fang had a miscarriage.

Shen Meizhuang, who lost her child, was devastated. "Hua Fei, it was Hua Fei who killed my child. Your Majesty, kill Hua Fei, kill that vicious woman and avenge our child!"

Shen Meizhuang was crying heart-wrenchingly on the bed. The emperor had originally felt very guilty about her miscarriage, but Shen Meizhuang now completely refused to listen to any of his advice and could not understand his difficulties at all. She just insisted on killing Concubine Hua.

As a result, Fatty Orange's pity quickly turned to annoyance. Shen Meizhuang fell out of favor after losing her son, and the people watching sighed.

Shen Meizhuang fell out of favor, while Zhen Huan rose to power; Shen Meizhuang suffered a miscarriage, while Zhen Huan became pregnant. The contrast between the two sisters' circumstances was extreme, and with the help of villains, the friendship between the two sisters was bound to be strained.

However, now that Zhen Huan has been doted on by the Emperor, her IQ has decreased a bit, and she has become a little arrogant. Therefore, she failed to catch the subtle attitudes that her sister Mei occasionally revealed.

An Lingrong, who is a bystander, is very curious. Will the relationship between Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan in this life be as unbreakable as in the previous life?

Looking at the imperial physician Wen Shichu who had been visiting Shen Meiyu more and more frequently recently, An Lingrong's eyes were full of interest.

After this incident, Shen Meizhuang completely lost her heart to the emperor. Wen Shichu, who might have brought her some comfort, was still concerned about her sister Huan.

Zhen Huan was pregnant and was promoted to a concubine. The emperor even appointed Prince Guo as the envoy to confer the title on her. When Bian Yixiu heard the news, he immediately brought some old duck soup to the emperor and tried to dissuade him tactfully, but he failed to get the emperor to revoke his decision.

Noble Lady Fucha was jealous, and took advantage of the fact that Concubine Hua was under house arrest, Shen Meiyu was out of favor, An Lingrong was recuperating, and Zhen Huan was pregnant and unable to sleep with the emperor, and actively competed for his favor, trying to get pregnant as soon as possible so that she could be promoted to a concubine.

In order to make things difficult for the Queen, An Lingrong gave Noble Lady Fucha a fake pregnancy pill because she saw that she was eager to have a child.

However, before Noble Lady Fucha revealed her pregnancy, An Lingrong went to the Queen for help, holding her belly anxiously.

"Empress, what should I do? The imperial physician said I'm pregnant, but I've been hurt by my previous miscarriage, and the deficit hasn't been made up yet. Also, I was bumped by a Saker Falcon a few days ago, and I fell. To heal my injuries, I've been using safflower oil for several days. As a result, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this baby. Ugh~"

"What did you say? Pregnant again?"
