A Crossover of Film and Television: Miao Miao's Life Transmigration
Chapter 14 The Legend of Zhen Huan: Su Yunyi 13
The day after Shen Meizhuang finished copying the palace rules, the green plaque was hung up.
The Emperor immediately summoned Consort Shen, displeased by her haggard appearance, but considering Consort Hua's immense power in the harem, he hesitated. The current Consort Hua was not the childless concubine from the previous storyline; she now possessed the confidence of a child and was even more arrogant and domineering.
As in the storyline, he bestowed favor upon Shen Meizhuang, knowing that she liked chrysanthemums, and gave her all the green chrysanthemums in the flower room. He also renamed the east wing of Xianfu Palace to Cunju Hall.
Nian Shilan thought her tricks would succeed, but the Emperor favored Shen Meizhuang, which infuriated her. Especially because of Lüju's embarrassing incident, Nian Shilan hated Shen Meizhuang even more.
"Your Majesty, this Consort Shen claims to be from a respectable family, yet she never came to pay her respects after entering the palace. Now that she has gained favor, she shows even less respect for you," Ruyi said angrily, looking at the lively scene in the east wing.
"Ruyi, shut up! Talking about someone important like this is unacceptable. If others find out, I won't be able to protect you," Consort Jing rebuked sternly.
“You must understand that the Emperor’s favor is all illusory. As long as there is a child, there is hope. Now, I only want to stay with Jingyue and live a good life,” Consort Jing said gently.
As she spoke, Consort Jing continued making clothes for Jingyue.
"Banlan, it's time. Have someone reveal to Consort Hua that Zhen Huan is ordering around the head maid of Suiyu Pavilion." Su Yunyi saw that Shen Meizhuang and Nian Shilan had already started arguing and planned to add fuel to the fire between them.
After having another heart-to-heart talk with the system, Su Yunyi became even more determined to reduce the female lead's halo.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Banlan replied.
The next day, upon receiving the news, Nian Shilan immediately led her men to Suiyuxuan.
At this moment, Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan were still chatting when they saw a large group of people rushing in. The two of them quickly stood up and bowed to Consort Hua.
Nian Shilan rolled her eyes and raised an eyebrow: "Consort Shen and Consort Wan have copied the palace rules fifty times, so how come they are still violating the palace rules?"
“Your Highness Consort Hua, Consort Wan has been staying in Suiyu Pavilion recently and will definitely not violate palace rules again,” Shen Meizhuang quickly explained.
Nian Shilan paid no attention to Shen Meizhuang's words.
"Guards, tie this maid up for me! You, Consort Wan, are actually using your status as a consort to order around the head maid and even living in the main hall of Suiyu Pavilion. How dare you disregard palace rules like this? Do you not respect me?" Nian Shilan said righteously.
"What's wrong with Huanhuan?" Shen Meizhuang asked in confusion.
Zhen Huan said that she didn't know either. After she arrived at Suiyu Pavilion, it was Aunt Jinxi who led her to the main hall.
Next, the people brought by Consort Hua held down Consort Wan and Aunt Jinxi, intending to take them to the Emperor.
Let the Emperor handle them. It's not that Nian Shilan doesn't want to handle it, but letting the Emperor handle it will make him understand what kind of person Zhen Huan is.
Moreover, the Emperor has not visited Yikun Palace this month.
As expected, after hearing Nian Shilan's account, Consort Wan was demoted to a lower-ranking concubine and ordered to move out of the main hall, while the rest was left to Consort Hua to handle.
Upon hearing the Emperor's order, Su Peisheng understood that if Cui Jinxi fell into Consort Hua's hands, her fate would be grim. He wanted to save Cui Jinxi, and suddenly thought of someone: Consort Yi. Perhaps only Consort Yi could save Cui Jinxi.
Taking advantage of the Emperor's bestowal of gifts upon Consort Yi, Su Peisheng visited Su Yunyi and begged her to save Cui Jinxi's life.
"I agree, but Cui Jinxi will have to endure some hardship. After some time, I will arrange for her to serve the Dowager Consort," Su Yunyi said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Please feel free to give me any orders in the future. His Majesty cannot do without me. I will take my leave now," Su Peisheng said.
She didn't expect to win over Su Peisheng anyway. It would be bad if the emperor suspected her of plotting a rebellion and coveting the throne. The Sixth Prince was already conspicuous enough, and the emperor would most likely choose the Sixth Prince to ascend the throne.
As long as she doesn't make any mistakes, she can remain as stable as a mountain.
Designing Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi is merely cutting off a piece of the female lead's halo; she's not a saint, she wouldn't let such a huge disaster happen.
Later on, after Zhen Huan turns evil, if Su Peisheng were still on Zhen Huan's side and spoke ill of the Sixth Prince, the Emperor's suspicions would only intensify. The current situation is just right.
After this incident, Zhen Huan became more cautious. She felt that the harem was terrifying, as even a small matter would attract a lot of attention. She thought of her father's advice to keep a low profile and conceal her talents.
Zhen Huan asked Wen Shichu to prescribe medicine for her, and then pretended to be sick.
New Year's Eve is here in the blink of an eye. Last year, the emperor had a simple New Year's Eve celebration, but this year a grand palace banquet was held to celebrate properly.
The new concubines have been in the palace for several months now. Since being demoted to a lower rank, Zhen Huan has been claiming to be ill and has been staying in Suiyu Pavilion. She lives a poor but manageable life with the support of her sister Shen Meizhuang.
Just like in the drama, Shen Meizhuang was supported to fight against Consort Hua. The emperor granted her palace power, but she was then punished by Consort Hua.
After all, Moyaqi's health was not good, and Consort Hua needed palace power so that she could gain the Emperor's attention and increase the princess's power. When the princess got married, the Imperial Household Department would not dare to neglect her.
She was already unhappy that the Empress was fighting her for palace power, but the Empress was, after all, the head of the harem and it was only natural for her to have palace power, and she was powerless to do anything about it.
Now that a minor benefactor has stepped in to take away her power, she naturally cannot tolerate it.
Therefore, when Nian Shilan and Shen Meizhuang fought fiercely, Nian Shilan usually won.
Before the palace banquet began, the Emperor slapped the table, a dark glint in his eyes, and announced in a cheerful tone: "At noon, news came from Nian Gengyao of a great victory in the Northwest. What a Nian Gengyao, what a great general!"
Upon hearing the news, Nian Shilan happily stood up, raised her wine cup, and congratulated the Emperor: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
The Emperor looked at Nian Shilan and smiled meaningfully: "Your brother, not bad, very good!"
Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan became even more smug: "My brother serves the Emperor in the front court, while I share the Emperor's burdens in the harem."
Sitting next to him, Moyaqi obediently stood up and said with a smile, "Father, you can't just drink wine without eating any food." As she spoke, Moyaqi was about to bring the dish she thought was the best to the Emperor, and the maid next to her quickly brought the dish over.
"Moyaqi, come here to Father Emperor." The Emperor looked at Moyaqi's smile, and the complex emotions in his heart dissipated considerably. He had watched this child grow up.
Moyaqi glanced at her mother, and seeing her mother nod, she quickly ran to the Emperor's side.
He picked up Moyaqi and asked Nian Shilan, "How is Moyaqi feeling?"
"Moyaqi is much better now and has stopped taking medicine, instead using medicinal cuisine to nourish herself." When the Emperor mentioned Moyaqi, Nian Shilan's face immediately softened, and she became even happier.
"That's good!" the Emperor replied.
After Moyaqi returned to her seat, Zhou Ninghai, who was beside her, came to report that Consort Duan was ill and needed to be summoned by the imperial physician.
Nian Shilan's face immediately darkened: "Tell the imperial physicians not to treat that wretch. If I find out, I will punish you all."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will take care of it immediately," Zhou Ninghai said.
