The Emperor was naturally happy that Concubine Wan was pregnant. Although he now had more and better Chun Yuan figures, his feelings for Zhen Huan over the past two years were not fake.

Moreover, among the four people in Chengqian Palace, Jiapin was the newcomer, and Pangju's feelings for her were more like transference of feelings to Chunyuan, and there was not much real feeling between them;

As for Lady Ning, thanks to Lady Li (Consort Qi Li Jingyan), her health has become impaired and it will be difficult for her to have children in the future;

When Rouchang was young, she fell into an icy river and injured herself. Since she became favored by the emperor, the emperor has ordered the Imperial Hospital to help her recuperate. Now, more than half a year has passed, and her cold symptoms have not improved much. I am afraid it will be extremely difficult for her to conceive.

As for Mi Changzai, she was also unlucky. Her last miscarriage had caused a lot of damage to her health, and she would not be able to bear an heir to the throne in the next two or three years.

Therefore, Zhen Huan was looking forward to this pregnancy. She hoped that these pure Yuan figurines of hers could give her a child like the Second Prince, so that she could have a place to put her longing for the Second Prince.

Zhen Huan was naturally heartbroken when she first learned that the Emperor was using her as a substitute. Her heart felt like it was being torn apart. However, she was pregnant now, and even if she didn't consider herself, she had to think about the baby in her belly, so she told herself that she must not fall down.

But she was young and arrogant after all, and could not accept this humiliation for a while. She didn't know how to face the emperor, so she could only choose to be willful for once.

The emperor went to Yongshou Palace to visit Zhen Huan several times in a row, but each time he happened to find Zhen Huan unconscious after taking medicine.

The emperor knew that she had a grudge against him. Although he was unhappy, he could not bear to blame her too harshly because of her pregnancy.

But after so many times, Fat Orange couldn't help but feel unhappy. He didn't want to go to Yongshou Palace to cause trouble for some time.

But now the apricot blossoms were in bloom, and when the emperor was strolling in the imperial garden, he happened to see Concubine Duan, Concubine Xin, Concubine Fang and their daughters playing on the swing that Zhen Huan had built.

"Well, sister, sister, it's my turn, it's my turn~" Princess Wen Yi stared at the swinging swing intently. Seeing her sister having fun with her younger sister, she felt itchy in her heart and kept shouting anxiously.

"Don't be impatient, sister. I'll play with you a few more times and then I'll give it to you." This is Princess Shuhe of Concubine Xin.

"Ha ha"

"These girls!"

Concubine Duan and others watched their daughter having fun with bright smiles.

Fat Orange was watching this harmonious and warm scene from a distance, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

Just seeing the familiar scenery, Fat Ju couldn't help but recall the time when he pushed the swing for his Huanhuan here.

"Go to Yongshou Palace."

"Yes, get up the sedan~"

……

In Yongshou Palace, Fat Orange felt very uncomfortable when he saw Zhen Huan, who looked much more haggard.

He didn't know whether Zhen Huan was pretending to sleep or was really asleep this time. After all, no one informed him of his coming in advance.

After watching for a while, Fat Ju was ready to go back. He stretched out his hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for Zhen Huan, but Zhen Huan turned over and avoided him.

Cui Jinxi's heart tightened when she saw this, and she hurried to take a peek at the emperor's expression, which had indeed become gloomy.

After a while, Fat Orange withdrew his hand, stood up and left, only saying, "Take good care of your mother."

"Yes, I obey your command and respectfully send your Majesty off."

They have been quarreling for two months. Pangju originally thought that Zhen Huan should give in, so he was willing to give her a way out and come to Yongshou Palace to see her first. However, he didn't expect that she would be so ungrateful!

Admittedly, his viewing of Zhen Huan as a replacement for Empress Chun Yuan was inappropriate, but he was the supreme emperor! How could an emperor make mistakes? Moreover, wasn't it Zhen Huan's blessing to bear some resemblance to Empress Chun Yuan?

With this thought in mind, Fat Orange turned around and left.

He never treats himself badly, especially now that there are four more high-quality pure Yuan figures in the palace, he will not let himself be wronged.

Any movement in the palace would not be ignored. As soon as the emperor left Yongshou Palace, the news spread throughout the six palaces like wings.

After Cui Jinxi sent the emperor away, she sighed and wanted to go and persuade Zhen Huan. But she saw Zhen Huan lying alone on the bed in the inner room, tears flowing silently, soaking the pillow.

Cui Jinxi felt distressed watching this scene and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is gone. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about the little master in your belly. She's still pregnant, so you can't keep crying."

Ever since Jiapin went to Jingren Palace to pay her respects and meet the ladies in the other palaces for the first time two months ago, everyone in the palace knew that the emperor doted on Zhen Huan so much before only because she looked like Empress Chunyuan. Therefore, those who were jealous of Zhen Huan had been making fun of her in private these days, but they were only concerned that Zhen Huan was pregnant and the emperor still doted on her, so they didn't dare to provoke her.

But Zhen Huan was confused and annoyed the emperor. Wouldn't everyone come out one after another to make things difficult for Yongshou Palace?

Furthermore, the servants of the Imperial Household Department changed their attitude according to the situation and acted accordingly. As soon as they realized that the emperor was dissatisfied with Zhen Huan, they immediately changed their attitude towards Yongshou Palace.

The Yongshou Palace, which had been well-treated, saw its treatment plummet in just a few days. Huanbi Liuzhu was so angry that she spent the whole day in the Yongshou Palace cursing the group of flatterers in the Imperial Household Department who looked down on the weak.

Concubine Hui was extremely anxious and ran to Yongshou Palace every day to comfort her sister Huan.

It was a sunny spring day, and on this day Zhen Huan was finally persuaded by Shen Meizhuang to go out for a walk, but she met Prince Guo who came to the palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.

In fact, this was not the first time Zhen Huan had met him during this period. The two were polite and courteous at the beginning, but Zhen Huan was in a low mood and inevitably wanted to seek comfort from outside. Prince Guo was willing to get close to her, and gradually, the concubine's sister-in-law and brother-in-law developed a kind of ambiguous relationship like close friends.

This time, Zhen Huan was accompanied by Huanbi. Before in the Old Summer Palace, Huanbi was a little jealous of An Lingrong's favor and complained why her elder sister did not let her step forward to serve the emperor. But after experiencing so many things, Huanbi was afraid.

Life in the palace was not suitable for her at all. Without her elder sister to protect her, she was afraid that she would die one day without knowing who her enemy was.

But just when Huanbi put the emperor down, her sister hooked up with Prince Guo, and Huanbi also liked the man her elder sister liked.

Seeing Zhen Huan and Prince Guo chatting and laughing together, Huanbi couldn't help but think: If she was the legitimate second daughter of the Zhen family, would she have a chance to make Prince Guo fall in love with her, and even marry him with the face of her eldest sister?

Huanbi was distracted and did not notice that behind the rockery not far away, Concubine Duan was standing there with her maid and her daughter in her arms.

Princess Wen Yi was very well-behaved and sensible. She didn't cry or make a fuss at this moment, but there was a strange light in Concubine Duan's eyes.

In this life, Concubine Duan was able to marry Princess Wen Yi not because of Zhen Huan but because of Feng Ruozhao.

Also, because Feng Ruozhao found so many Chun Yuan figurines for the emperor, Zhen Huan's face was no longer of much use to Concubine Duan.

She owed Concubine Jing a favor for getting a daughter for free, and now that she had caught Concubine Wan, she could repay the favor.

Not only Concubine Duan Qi Yuebin, but also Concubine Hua and Concubine Li are targeting Zhen Huan.

With Feng Ruozhao's instigation, the Nian family discovered the affair between Zhen Yuandao and He Mianmian, the daughter of a guilty minister.

"He secretly took the daughter of a criminal official in while his wife was pregnant, used her as a maidservant, and sent her to the palace to serve. Great, great! What a Zhen Yuandao! What a Junior Official of the Dali Temple! What a Zhen Family!"

Nian Shilan was so angry that she laughed at Zhen Yuandao's hypocrisy. She never expected that just because of Cao Qinmo's casual mention, she would dig up such a serious evidence!
