The scene saddened Concubine Hua, and she felt depressed. Concubine Duan, who caused her to lose her child, was naturally miserable.

As it is getting hotter today, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Kitchen have received instructions from the Yikun Palace. This summer, no ice cubes or fruits can be used in Yanqing Palace!

Moreover, the food sent to Yanqing Palace by the kitchen every day was greasy and disgusting. (Yanqing Palace was the residence of Concubine Duan)

Since everyone was about to set off to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat, Yixiu was happy to watch Concubine Hua torment Concubine Duan. After all, Qi Yuebin was on good terms with Rouze, and Yixiu had a lot of resentment towards Rouze, so naturally she would not like Qi Yuebin who had a good relationship with Rouze.

Therefore, when there were too many things to do and he could not take care of Yanqing Palace for a while, he secretly asked the imperial physician to aggravate Concubine Duan's condition. Then, on the grounds that Concubine Duan was not well and could not be moved, he removed her from the list of people accompanying the emperor to the Old Summer Palace.

After Feng Ruozhao finished her confinement, she could no longer stay at home and refuse visitors like before, but she still didn't want to go out often.

She didn't stop others from visiting her place, and she maintained her image as a decent and amiable but unsociable person in her previous life.

Because of the Sixth Prince, the Emperor would come to visit her from time to time. Feng Ruozhao would quietly offer the Emperor many ideas, including many ways to balance the power of the previous dynasty.

Fat Ju was very pleased with her and valued her more and more. He also wanted her to manage the harem and compete with Empress Hua.

Unfortunately, Feng Ruozhao is the biological mother of the prince and one of the four concubines. She has no shortage of favor, status, and connections. Even if she does not interfere in the palace power, she will not lose any benefits, so she has no interest in snatching food from the tiger's mouth.

So he used the excuse that both he and the Sixth Prince were weak and needed to be well taken care of. He was unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility and could only disappoint the Emperor.

Fat Ju had no choice but to continue to promote Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan to compete with the Queen and Concubine Hua.

This year's summer came especially early. It was only May, but the Forbidden City was already getting hotter.

Fat Ju was fat and could not tolerate the heat, so he discussed with the Queen to move to the Old Summer Palace early this year to escape the summer heat.

Before leaving, Wu Guannu in Feng Ruozhao's palace and Yu Ying'er, who had long been forgotten by Pangju, both announced their pregnancy.

This girl from Wuguan was sent here to learn etiquette through the connections of Feng Ruozhao's maternal grandfather.

When the Emperor first got Concubine Wan, he doted on her for more than half a month. The Empress Dowager couldn't stand it anymore, so she called the Emperor to the palace and advised him not to follow the Empress Dowager's example (referring to Shunzhi's doting on Concubine Dong E).

Since his mother had said so much, the son couldn't just disobey her, so when Pangju returned home, he turned over Feng Ruozhao's green card.

In his previous life, Fat Orange didn't want to go anywhere except to Noble Lady Wan, so he had no choice but to choose Concubine Qi. But this time was different, Concubine Jing was pregnant, and she was also in love with the bewitching nine-tailed fox.

Fat Orange had a choice, so he naturally went to Xianfu Palace.

But Feng Ruozhao was almost due to give birth, and his body was too heavy to take care of her, so he pushed the well-trained Wu out.

Wu herself was good-looking and had ambitions to move up the social ladder, so she served very wholeheartedly.

Fat Ju was quite satisfied with her, and for Feng Ruozhao's sake, he gave Wu the status of an official lady.

Feng Ruozhao arranged her in the back hall of Xianfu Palace. Before she came out of confinement, every time Pangju came to Xianfu Palace, he would accompany Yueli (Feng Ruozhao) for meals and then Wu would go over to serve her.

Feng Ruozhao was able to get pregnant because, firstly, the extra thread of love in her body made Pangju develop some belated feelings for her, and secondly, he wrote down the fertility-aiding prescription that Yixiu gave to An Lingrong in her previous life, and it was an improved version after the system was perfected.

But this recipe cannot be easily revealed to others. In addition, Mrs. Wu is young and fertile, so she did not waste time giving Mrs. Wu the pregnancy-aiding recipe.

But Wu was truly impressive! She easily conceived on her own, surpassing all the other selected concubines who entered the palace, earning her the top spot among the newcomers in the harem.

It was always a happy event when a concubine was pregnant, so Wu was promoted to the rank of concubine and, at Feng Ruozhao's suggestion, went to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat.

As the incident of Yu Ying'er reciting poetry in the Plum Garden had not yet been exposed by Zhen Huan, the Emperor still had some fantasies about her, so he gave her the promise because of her pregnancy.

But now Concubine Hua has regarded her as an abandoned child. Even when she heard that she was pregnant, she was just annoyed that others could get pregnant but she couldn't, and she didn't want to see her even more.

Cao Qinmo was also worried that she would give birth to a princess who would compete with her own Wen Yi for her father, so she fanned the flames. "No wonder she was unwilling to take the risk of getting rid of Concubine Wan for the Empress before. It turns out she is pregnant."

Hua Fei became even angrier when she heard this!

"As expected, she was born a palace maid, but she is short-sighted. She even dared to hide her pregnancy from me. I'm afraid she has forgotten how she got close to me in the first place!"

At this point, Concubine Hua smiled coldly, "If that's the case, then just live well in the palace! I want to see how she can keep the piece of meat in her belly without me!"

Without Concubine Hua's people to speak for her in front of the emperor, Yu Ying'er naturally had no chance to go to the Old Summer Palace. This made her angry and disappointed. How could she put the blame on Zhen Huan if she couldn't go with her?

After Zhen Huan learned that Yu Shisheng had agreed, she was depressed for a long time.

Even though she knew rationally that this was reasonable, she still felt uncomfortable emotionally, especially now that she knew that Yu Ying'er had the honor of serving the emperor because she had impersonated her identity, so she felt even more uncomfortable.

But it is not a good idea to report these things to the emperor right away, so we can only consider them later.

She comforted herself that Yu Ying'er was not a person who would settle for less. She had offended too many people when she was in favor in the past. Even if she was pregnant now, it was not certain that she would be able to give birth.

She had heard from Jinxi that their Queen was not as kind and tolerant as she appeared to be. The miscarriage of Concubine Xin and all the misfortunes during Concubine Fang and Concubine Jing's pregnancy were all caused by the Queen!

If the Queen is intolerant, how could Yu Ying'er, one of Concubine Hua's lackeys, be allowed to give birth to an heir to the throne?

The Queen did not intend to keep Yu Ying'er's baby, or in other words, as long as her strength allowed, Yixiu would not allow any woman in the harem to give birth to a dragon seed for the Emperor.

Therefore, after learning that Wu Yu and the other woman were pregnant, he was very annoyed and busy. He was annoyed that the emperor's woman was pregnant again, and busy arranging people to prepare the abortion package.

Although Wu went to the Old Summer Palace, Yu Ying'er stayed in the palace, which forced Yixiu to fight on two fronts and be busy with her business!

In addition, Concubine Hua of Yiku Palace started eating pickles again.

If she is in a bad mood, life will be miserable for Concubine Duan and Cao Qinmo. Let's not talk about what will happen to Concubine Duan for now. Cao Qinmo will definitely help her boss solve the problems, otherwise she can't live a peaceful life.

Shen Meizhuang didn't think so much. She looked at Concubine Jing, Mrs. Wu and Yu Ying'er, who were all promoted because of giving birth to children or being pregnant. She was envious and her determination to take the medicine to have a child became stronger.

Shen Meizhuang, who was eager to have a child, was soon noticed by Cao Qinmo, who was eager to make a contribution. A vicious plan slowly took shape in her mind.

Soon, with the help of Cao Qinmo and Concubine Hua, Shen Meizhuang discovered a "hidden gem" in the Imperial Hospital - her fellow villager Liu Bin, and believed in the fertility prescription he prescribed.

Not only did she drink it herself, she also generously and selflessly shared the fertility-aiding recipe with Zhen Huan.

Although Zhen Huan had a hunch that something was wrong, the Imperial Physician Wen, whom she trusted, had already been sent by Concubine Hua to the residence of an old minister in the court to treat a patient, so he would not be able to take care of his sister Huan.

Shen Meizhuang wanted a child so badly that Zhen Huan, seeing that she couldn't persuade her, could only swallow her worries.

Thinking that Sister Mei should be fine as long as he was taking care of her, and that Wen Shichu was not going to be unable to come back, and seeing that Fangzi was not in a hurry, he put the matter aside for the time being.

However, she didn't expect that this moment of slackness would almost ruin her sister Mei's future and life!
