The Queen of the TV Series: Take turns to sit in my house this year
Chapter 156 An Lingrong 04
Before An Lingrong had finished her confinement, Noble Lady Fucha could not wait to announce the good news of her pregnancy to everyone.
Because the pregnant concubines before had either been given titles or promoted in rank, the emperor did not want to favor one over the other when it came to Noble Lady Fucha, so he gave her the title "Ji".
Taking advantage of her pregnancy, Concubine Ji often went around snatching favors and things, and even dared to challenge the servants of Yiku Palace. Under the manipulation of the Queen, Concubine Ji soon came into conflict with Concubine Wan of Suiyuxuan and Shen Meizhuang of Xianfu Palace.
After all, she was proud of her origin from one of the eight major Manchu surnames, and she was always resentful that Zhen Huan was more favored than her. Now that she was pregnant but was not promoted to a concubine, she was even more unhappy with Zhen Huan.
At first, she didn't dare to go too far, but just liked to snatch and break Yuxuan's things. Seeing that the emperor and the empress didn't care much, she began to push her limits. Later, Zhen Huan complained to the emperor, and she restrained herself, but at the same time, she became more and more dissatisfied with Zhen Huan.
"My lady, Wanpin is pregnant now, and the Emperor will protect her for the sake of the heir. But Hui Guiren is different. You are also aware of the friendship between Hui Guiren and Wanpin.
Now that Concubine Hui has fallen from favor, the palace is used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, so I don't think her life will be easy. If Concubine Hui is missing anything, won't Concubine Wan help her make up for it?" Sang'er, the most clever maid in the Yanxi Palace, knelt on Concubine Ji's footstool, diligently massaging her legs and encouraging her.
After hearing this, Concubine Ji was enlightened. She immediately rewarded Sang'er generously and handed the matter of embarrassing Concubine Hui over to Sang'er.
Under the Queen's advice, Sang'er soon made Shen Meiyu suffer a lot. Zhen Huan had to worry about this every day. In order to teach Ji Guiren a lesson and to save her sister Mei, Zhen Huan had to be the first to bow her head and submit to the Emperor.
And this is exactly what the emperor hopes for, which will make him feel the joy of successful taming.
Zhen Huan knew it in her heart, but she had no choice. With Concubine Ji pressing her from the front and Concubine Nian eyeing her covetously from the back, she could not continue to stalemate with the emperor.
So Concubine Ji was put under house arrest by the emperor, and Concubine Wan regained the emperor's favor.
The Queen also took the opportunity to scare Concubine Qi: If Wanpin's baby is a prince, what will happen to the Third Prince?
In order to ensure that her son's status would not be shaken, Concubine Qi sent several plates of snacks mixed with oleander juice and oleander pollen to Zhen Huan, who had recently had a poor appetite.
Each of the desserts was delicately crafted, small and appetizing. Each consisted of only five small pieces, arranged in two layers: four at the bottom and one at the top. Only the top piece of each dessert was laced with oleander powder. Cuiguo personally delivered it to Suiyuxuan, and after she placed it there, she waited for Zhen Huan to taste it and see if it suited her taste.
Female Zhuge Zhen Huan really couldn't imagine that someone would be stupid enough to let her trusted palace maid carry poisonous snacks to harm others, so in order not to offend Concubine Qi, she tasted it twice just for the sake of courtesy.
Of course, Zhen Huan was still cautious and did not dare to swallow the two snacks she had eaten. She winked at Cui Jinxi to send the people away and then immediately spit them out.
But even so, he still got infected.
"Asshole! Concubine Qi, do you admit your guilt?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life. I know my crime. I know my crime."
Concubine Qi knocked her head against the wall until it banged loudly, and soon she started bleeding. However, the evidence that she had attempted to murder Concubine Wan and the dragon fetus was irrefutable, so even if she was spared for the sake of the Third Prince, she would never be able to see him again.
"Li has plotted to murder the heir to the throne. She is deposed, demoted to a noble lady, and confined to Changchun Palace for life!"
"No, no, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, Your Majesty, please forgive me this time, I will never dare to do it again, Your Majesty~" Before the servants outside came in and dragged her away, Li Jingyan didn't care about her etiquette and knelt down to the emperor, hugged his thighs and cried bitterly, but it made Fat Ju even more disgusted and he kicked her away.
"What are you standing there for? Take her away now!"
"No, no, Hongshi, my dear Hongshi, I'm so sorry for you, wuwuwu..."
"Alas," Yixiu shook her head and sighed, then hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, what about the Third Prince?"
"The Third Prince will be handed over to the Empress' care from now on. He is not allowed to visit Li!"
"This... is, I obey your command."
In this way, without wasting a single soldier, Yixiu obtained the custody of the Third Prince. As for Zhen Huan, although the dragon fetus was saved, the Queen had no intention of aborting the child.
The little bit of rationality she had left told Yixiu that at least one of Zhen Huan and Concubine Ji's children had to be born. But Zhen Huan had a face like that, and Concubine Ji was from the Fucha clan. How could she bear it?
Fortunately, the imperial physician said that Wanpin's baby was 80% likely to be a princess, so Yixiu showed some mercy and only instigated the people in the palace to do their best to torment Wanpin, so that she could not calm down and take care of the baby. As for Ji Guiren, she was a fool and could be dealt with at any time.
Sure enough, something happened just as Ji Guiren's house arrest was lifted.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened! Concubine Ji and Concubine Hui had an argument on the palace path, and during the shoving, she accidentally fell and got blood!"
"What? Lady Hui has always been so steady, how could she have argued with Lady Ji?"
"Well, Concubine Wan hasn't had a good appetite lately, but the cherry pancakes that Concubine Hui made not long ago are surprisingly to her liking, so Concubine Hui always makes them and sends them to Suiyuxuan these days.
Unfortunately, today, Concubine Ji went to the Imperial Garden to relax. When she saw the cherry pancake Concubine Hui brought, she wanted to take it away. Concubine Hui said it was for Concubine Wan. If Concubine Ji liked it, she would make it later and send it to the Yanxi Palace. It would also be a good opportunity for the imperial physician to see if it was suitable for Concubine Ji.
All of this was perfectly normal. Concubine Ji was pregnant, so she naturally had to be extremely careful with what she ate. Furthermore, Concubine Li had just recently given Concubine Wan a poisoned pastry, so Concubine Hui had to be cautious. After all, the two of them had no personal relationship, and they had plenty of disagreements. What if Concubine Ji suddenly had the idea of faking it, took the pastry back, and then accused Concubine Hui of poisoning it?
"But Concubine Ji said that Concubine Hui looked down on her, so she refused to give her even a plate of cakes. She then had her maid Sang'er grab it. Concubine Hui refused, but Concubine Ji insisted. Concubine Ji was so angry that she wanted to hit Concubine Hui's maid. Concubine Hui was quick to pull the maid away, but Concubine Ji's hand was too strong, and she couldn't control the force, so she fell to the ground. Concubine Ji's maid tried to pull her back, but failed. Instead, she was pulled down by Concubine Ji, pressing on Concubine Ji's stomach, and that's when..."
After listening to the little eunuch's account, Fat Ju was filled with anger. He had such a big dragon fetus, but it was lost because of a plate of cherry pancakes, and it was the mother's own fault! Fat Ju was so angry that he cursed loudly.
"Idiot! Absolute idiot!"
After all, Concubine Ji's pregnancy was not saved. Pang Ju was angry that Concubine Ji had failed to save the dragon fetus and caused him to be criticized by his brother Qu Qu again for being unworthy of his position. So he demoted her to a concubine in anger. As for Shen Meizhuang, she was also implicated and demoted to a concubine. The emperor ordered her to recite the "Buddha Mother Sutra" for a month for Concubine Ji's unlucky child.
Shen Meizhuang: It's truly an unexpected disaster!
Zhen Huan felt sorry for her sister Mei and had no sympathy for Ji Da Ying who brought it upon herself. The master's preferences were the barometer of the servants. Before, Ji Da Ying took advantage of her pregnancy to bully Wanpin first and then Hui Changzai. Now that Ji Da Ying had a miscarriage and lost her power, the servants of Sui Yuxuan naturally wanted Ji Da Ying to return the favor.
Therefore, with Zhen Huan's tacit consent, all the meals and portions that Ji promised that they liked were snatched away by the people from Sui Yuxuan.
In Fucha's eyes, the promised share was already shabby, and now it was being passed off as inferior goods. Ji Cheng was so angry that he slammed the table and threw down his bowl every day.
For example, today, An Lingrong had just returned from outside when she heard Ji Da Ying throwing a tantrum in the side hall.
"Wow!"
"bump--"
"I won't eat this! This is all garbage. Even my dog wouldn't eat it, and how dare those villains in the imperial kitchen serve this! Ahhhh! Zhen Huan, this is too much! This is too much!"
The days passed slowly under Ji's constant nagging. It was the first month of the following year. Concubine Nian had been released by the Emperor more than a month ago, but her position remained unchanged. The baby in Zhen Huan's belly was already more than six months old. Nian Shilan was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep well. After all, if she continued like this, the baby would be her fault after Zhen Huan was born! How could Nian Shilan bear it?
At this time, an epidemic broke out in the Yikun Palace, and everyone in the palace was worried. The Imperial Hospital worked overtime to find a prescription, but there was no progress.
Amidst the panic among the people, Li Guiren of Changchun Palace and Hui Changzai of Xianfu Palace were both infected with the plague.
I heard that Sister Mei was infected with the plague, and the Imperial Hospital still had no regulations. Zhen Huan was almost scared to the point of having a miscarriage!
"Brother Shichu! Does what you said before still count?"
"Of course it counts. As long as my lord is at ease, I will obey your orders."
"Hui Chang of Cun Ju Tang is suffering from an epidemic and is in critical condition. I would like you to help her."
Wen Shichu was indeed an excellent doctor. Shen Meizhuang's condition gradually improved under his care. However, before he could perfect the prescription, Concubine Li from Changchun Palace could no longer hold on and died.
Hongshi became an orphan. Before the queen had time to be happy, Nian Shilan took the two brothers Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen and went to ask the emperor for credit with the stolen prescription.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has decreed that Concubine Nian be promoted to Concubine Hua, and she will also be in charge of the six palaces."
“Ding~Bang——”
"Hua Fei, oh, great! Hua Fei is really considerate. She can actually help the Emperor solve this serious problem of the epidemic!"
Yixiu put down the teacup with a smile, her tone gentle, but Jianqiu knew the Queen was definitely upset! Just as she was about to offer some words of comfort, Huichun came in through the curtains and announced, "Your Majesty, Consort Qian wishes to see you."
Yixiu's eyes rolled. Although she didn't know why An Lingrong came, her intuition told her that it must be related to Nian Shilan's strong comeback. "Let her in."
"Yes."
