A Crossover of Film and Television: Miao Miao's Life Transmigration

Chapter 17 The Legend of Zhen Huan: Su Yunyi 16

Yu Guan's daughter could sing Kunqu Opera. When the emperor liked to review memorials, he would summon Yu Guan's daughter to sing Kunqu Opera. Within a few days, she was promoted to Yu Daying and was also given the title of "Wonderful Lady of Melodious Sound".

Consort Yu, having gained the Emperor's favor, stirred up trouble in the harem. Relying on the Emperor's affection, she became arrogant and domineering. One day she would demand that Consort Shen make way, and the next she would imprison Consort Xin in the Shenxing Division. In the end, it was the Empress Dowager who intervened, confining Consort Yu to her quarters and stripping her of the title "Lady of Wonderful Sounds," which finally quelled the anger in the harem.

During this period, An Yingying's "return of the jade intact" also occurred. That night, Yu Yingying served her in bed, and it is estimated that An Yingying hated Yu Yingying to death.

Su Yunyi had no intention of helping these women. She just wanted to stir up trouble in the harem and fish in troubled waters. After Zhen Huan killed the emperor and his Hongxi ascended the throne, she would travel the world.

Su Yunyi wasn't very interested in the affairs of the harem. She spent her days raising her children, playing with them, reading books, planting flowers, learning music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and tending to her three acres of land.

In March, the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, and the apricot blossoms in the Imperial Garden are like a dream. Swings have also been quietly set up in a corner of the Imperial Garden.

Su Yunyi knew, of course, that Zhen Huan wanted to have a wonderful encounter with the Emperor, and that a wonderful scene of "playing the flute until dawn amidst the sparse shadows of apricot blossoms" was about to unfold. It was just right that Zhen Huan wanted to show favor to the Emperor, so that the female lead would come out and attract everyone's attention, and Yi Xiu could also focus his attention on her.

She didn't want to interfere with Zhen Huan's good show. As long as it didn't affect her interests, she could pretend not to see it and release her sooner to fight with the Empress, so that she could reap the benefits.

Sure enough, just two days after the Emperor and Zhen Huan met, a torrential rain began to fall. A few days later, news spread that the Emperor had fallen ill and needed the concubines of the harem to attend to him. She was assigned to attend to him during the day and didn't have much to do.

Shen Meizhuang, who was scheduled to be on the same day as Nian Shilan, was not so lucky. She looked haggard all day long.

When the Emperor woke up, he wanted to go on a date with Zhen Huan, but unexpectedly encountered Consort Yu mocking Zhen Huan.

Consort Yu was one title short, and was originally supposed to pay her respects to Consort Wan. However, relying on the emperor's favor, Consort Yu yelled at Zhen Huan, her face full of mockery, and even said that those without favor should be of low status. The emperor heard this on the spot, and immediately demoted Consort Yu to a palace maid, while Zhen Huan became Consort Wan again, and even took Consort Wan back to Suiyu Pavilion.

Next, the Emperor ordered Zhang Mi, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, to cure Consort Wan as soon as possible.

The Emperor was naturally intrigued by the face that resembled that of Empress Chun Yuan, and he would come to Suiyu Pavilion every day to play the zither and chat with Consort Wan.

Half a month later, Consort Wan recovered from her illness. The Emperor planned to take the Empress and Consort Wan to the imperial palace for a hot spring bath. Of course, the Empress would not go. Consort Yi wanted Consort Wan to face off against Consort Yi and Consort Hua, so she would naturally create momentum for Consort Wan.

So the Emperor and Consort Wan went to the temporary palace, lit dragon and phoenix candles, and were granted a bath at the hot spring palace. Zhen Huan also spoke the words of her husband as in the original drama.

The Emperor also bestowed upon her the favor of the Empress's Chamber and the pleasure of sleeping in the Emperor's bedchamber, allowing her to spend seven consecutive days in his bedchamber, thus elevating Consort Wan's favor to its highest point.

Inside the Broken Jade Pavilion.

After paying her respects, Shen Meizhuang went to Suiyu Pavilion to chat with Zhen Huan.

Shen Meizhuang: "Huan'er, you've finally made it through. Now that you're favored, I can finally relax."

Zhen Huan said worriedly, "Although the Emperor treats me very well, the rivalry in the harem is real. I don't know what to do now."

Shen Meizhuang thought for a while: "Now that we are a Noble Lady and a Consort, how can we possibly fight against Consort Hua? We can only endure it for now."

"Tolerate?"

“Yes, Consort Hua enjoys the most favor in the harem, and with Princess Moyaqi around, even the Empress and Noble Consort Yi cannot rival her. We are the new favorites, and the Emperor will not punish Consort Hua for such trivial matters. We can only endure it for now,” Shen Meizhuang analyzed.

Shen Meizhuang thought about how she was punished to copy palace rules as soon as she entered the palace, and how she was targeted by Consort Hua for all sorts of trivial matters. Now that Huan'er was favored, she could say that she had an ally.

"Sister Mei is right."

Then, Zhen Huan thought of something and teased, "Sister Mei, if I become the emperor's favorite, will you be jealous?"

Shen Meizhuang's expression darkened, and then she said, "There are so many people in the harem. If it's not you, it will be someone else. If that's the case, then I hope it's you."

After the two talked things out, the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere returned.

In the end, it was Consort Li who complained to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager told the Emperor that he could not have exclusive favor, and mentioned that the late Emperor had favored Consort Shu in his later years, which caused resentment in the harem. Only then did Consort Wan's night service end.

The next evening, the Emperor went to Consort Qi's Changchun Palace. Consort Qi was not good at talking, and the Emperor was impatient to listen to her. However, Consort Qi kept nagging in the Emperor's ear, saying that the Third Prince had grown taller or that the Third Prince was studying hard, which made the Emperor speechless.

The Emperor thought of the Third Prince's studies a few days ago, which showed no progress whatsoever, even falling short of the Sixth Prince. Consort Qi was still complaining about how hard the Third Prince was studying. Suddenly, the Emperor became a little irritated and said, "Your clothes don't look good. Don't wear them anymore."

Consort Qi's expression changed, and she said in confusion, "But didn't His Majesty say that I look best in pink?"

The Emperor raised his head and asked impatiently, "Pink and delicate, how old are you now?"

Then she added, "You'd be more suited to your status if you wore lake blue or sapphire blue now."

When Zhen Huan first pushed the Emperor away, she missed her husband terribly and played "Xiangfei's Lament" late at night, her delicate hands conveying sorrow and tears.

The Emperor was in a bad mood when he heard the music. He abandoned Consort Qi and went to Suiyu Pavilion.

The disturbance in the middle of the night kept the harem from sleeping well, except for Su Yunyi, who had the system install a sound jammer for herself and her three children.

Sure enough, the greetings the next day were quite lively.

Consort Li spoke first: "Consort Qi, why couldn't you keep the Emperor here last night?"

Consort Qi was indignant, but she didn't say anything.

Consort Cao: "I heard that someone played 'Xiangfei's Lament' last night, which kept everyone awake until late at night."

Consort Li looked at Zhen Huan and said, "The Lament of Xiangfei seems to express longing for her husband, doesn't it? Consort Wan, you're not complaining about the Emperor, are you?"

Consort Wan paused for a second, then quickly realized, "I played more than one piece of music, why is Consort Li only focusing on this one piece?"

Consort Fucha had long disliked Zhen Huan and mocked, "Consort Wan has just recovered from her illness and has already received the Emperor's favor, serving him for seven consecutive days. She's already so jealous after just one day."

Zhen Huan, of course, did not want to bear the reputation of jealousy: "Noble Lady Fucha's words are inappropriate. As concubines, we should naturally follow the Emperor's wishes."

Shen Meizhuang felt sorry for Zhen Huan when she heard everyone making things difficult for her, but she didn't know why Zhen Huan was playing "Xiangfei's Lament" so late at night. In addition, Xianfu Palace and Suiyu Pavilion were very close, so she hadn't slept well last night either.

Consort Li: "Even if that's not what you meant, playing the zither in the middle of the night is keeping everyone awake. Your Majesty, what do you suggest we do?"

Nian Shilan provocatively said, "Your Majesty, you won't easily let those who violate palace rules off, will you? After all, Consort Wan was demoted to a lower-ranking concubine for violating palace rules before, and now she's violated them again. What does Your Majesty say about this?"

Yixiu smiled and looked at Zhen Huan: "Since this is the first time, then confine her to her quarters for half a month and make her copy the palace rules ten times as punishment!"

Nian Shilan rolled her eyes and didn't say anything.

Zhen Huan had no choice but to get up and express her gratitude.

Su Yunyi watched their bickering with amusement. She was quite happy to see the drama unfold. Since Zhen Huan appeared, there had been far more drama in the harem than before.

After a while, Consort Hua stood up and walked out.

Yixiu's smile was almost impossible to maintain, and after saying a few casual words, the party ended.
