A Crossover of Film and Television: Miao Miao's Life Transmigration
Chapter 31 The Legend of Zhen Huan: Su Yunyi 30
The Emperor returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and ordered an investigation into the events of the day.
Thinking back to the time I spent with Wanwan, and then to Zhen Huan's madness, it's clear that Wanwan is not an ordinary substitute that can be compared to her.
At this moment, Su Peisheng came in to report the situation that day. It was indeed Zhen Huan who had talked back to Nian Shilan. Many people had asked Zhen Huan to admit her mistake, but she did not. Instead, she continued to provoke Nian Shilan. In the end, Nian Shilan couldn't stand it anymore and made Zhen Huan kneel as punishment.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor couldn't help but complain that Zhen Huan was truly ignorant. Moreover, she was clearly pregnant, yet she used some unknown drugs for the sake of her appearance. If she had consulted a few imperial physicians back then, she wouldn't have suffered a miscarriage.
Now that the Empress is the head of the harem, although there are suspicions, there is no concrete evidence to prove that the Empress is the mastermind behind the murder. Yet Zhen Huan asked him to kill the Empress, which is impossible.
Now that Nian Gengyao is in a position of power, and Nian Shilan has a child, and besides, it's not entirely Nian Shilan's fault, he can't really punish her, can he?
Su Peisheng stammered, and the Emperor told him to speak quickly.
Su Peisheng knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, this servant just found out that it was Prince Guo who broke into Yikun Palace and carried Consort Wan to Suiyu Pavilion. Moreover, at Princess Wenyi's first birthday banquet last year, Prince Guo even made some flirtatious remarks about Consort Wan. At the Qixi Festival banquet, some people also saw Prince Guo and Zhen Huan chatting on the Tonghua Terrace."
The Emperor's face grew darker as he listened, and Su Peisheng quickly replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant has already sent someone to handle it."
Su Peisheng was only investigating the situation in Yikun Palace according to the Emperor's decree, but he didn't expect so many things about Prince Guo and Consort Wan to come out, especially since the information came from Consort Li's palace. (Of course you know, Su Yunyi had already planted informants, so even if it turns out to be Consort Li in the end, it will only be Consort Li.)
The Emperor, irritated, tossed his eighteen-piece set aside and coldly asked, "Why has Prince Guo come to the palace today?"
Su Peisheng replied respectfully, "Prince Guo will go to the palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager."
The Emperor recalled what Consort Cao had said earlier, and Zhen Huan had also praised Prince Guo. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he said, "I realize that Prince Guo has now come of age."
"Your Majesty, yes, she is already twenty-three. However, when the late Emperor was alive, he wanted to marry the daughter of the Duke of Pei to Prince Guo, but unfortunately Prince Guo refused."
Having said this, Su Peisheng observed the Emperor's expression and said no more.
"Then issue an imperial decree to bestow the daughter of the Duke of Pei upon Prince Guo as his primary consort. Instruct the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to find an auspicious day for the wedding to take place as soon as possible. Also, instruct Prince Guo to prepare for the wedding properly and not to enter the palace unless necessary."
"Well, I'll do it right away."
Inside the residence of Prince Guo.
Upon receiving the imperial edict, Prince Guo asked Su Peisheng with a bewildered expression, "Why would my brother send me this edict? No, I must go to the palace now and beg my brother to rescind the edict."
Su Peisheng quickly stopped Prince Guo. Prince Guo didn't know why, but of course he knew why the Emperor had issued this imperial edict. Moreover, the Emperor was in a bad mood, and Prince Guo was already confused about the matter. Wouldn't going to the Emperor only add fuel to the fire?
"Your Highness, the Emperor is simply concerned about you and has bestowed this marriage upon you. This is a great joy, and the Emperor has his reasons for doing so. Right now, the Emperor is in a bad mood, so you should not disturb him."
Prince Guo was not one to give up so easily.
Seeing this, Su Peisheng could only point out that Prince Guo had broken into Yikun Palace in full view of everyone and embraced Consort Wan, which was now causing a great deal of discussion in the harem.
Prince Guo explained, "That was because I was in a hurry to save people."
Su Peisheng looked at Prince Guo, who refused to give up. How could he not know his place, or did Prince Guo have some ulterior motive? No, he couldn't think that way.
"His Majesty already knows about the incident at the Tonghua Terrace during Wenyi's first birthday banquet and the Qixi Festival banquet."
As expected, upon hearing Su Peisheng's words, Prince Guo broke out in a cold sweat. The Emperor truly knew everything about the Forbidden City. With a serious expression, he cupped his hands to Su Peisheng and respectfully said, "Your subject accepts the decree and thanks Your Majesty for bestowing the marriage upon me."
Su Peisheng saw that Prince Guo had received the imperial decree, and his mission was complete.
Return to the palace.
While Prince Guo reluctantly accepted the imperial decree, the Duke of Pei was much more readily obliged. The Duke of Pei was anxious because his daughter was already seventeen years old and her marriage was still undecided, and no one dared to propose marriage. Now that the emperor had bestowed a marriage upon her, he felt much more at ease.
Inside the Broken Jade Pavilion.
Zhen Huan always felt that she was not wrong. Although An Lingrong was the one who did it, the Empress was the mastermind. Nian Shilan was not innocent either. If Nian Shilan had not made her go to Yikun Palace to pay her respects, she would not have been punished by kneeling. When the Emperor returned, her child would definitely have been saved.
Zhen Huan couldn't understand why the Emperor was so heartless towards her, so she unilaterally gave him the cold shoulder. The Emperor went to Suiyu Pavilion to comfort her several times, but Zhen Huan always gave him the cold shoulder. Over time, Zhen Huan fell out of favor.
Zhen Huan refused to admit her mistake, and the Emperor hadn't visited Suiyu Pavilion for a month.
What kind of place is the harem? What good can come of losing favor? Moreover, Zhen Huan is only a Noble Lady, not a principal wife, and has no children. The Imperial Household Department is becoming increasingly perfunctory towards Suiyu Pavilion. Originally, the Noble Lady's allowance was barely enough. Shen Meizhuang is only a Lady-in-Waiting, and she usually needs Zhen Huan's help. Now she can't help at all.
Zhen Huan's life became more difficult than when she first entered the palace. After all, when she first entered the palace, Shen Meizhuang was a Noble Lady and had the opportunity to learn about palace politics. She often helped Zhen Huan. Otherwise, do you think Zhen Huan could avoid the emperor's favor for so long?
In the Forbidden City, those who are not favored live a worse life than palace maids.
A few months later, the weather gradually got colder.
That day, Consort Tian went into premature labor, and the concubines of the harem rushed to Yanxi Palace.
In Yanxi Palace, palace maids were coming and going, busy but not chaotic. Everyone was busy. Yixiu had arrived long ago. She knew that Consort Tian was pregnant with a princess, but she did not take action. This was mainly because Empress Fucha was too strong, and Empress Ulanara had been dealt a blow and was no longer the same as before. She could not withstand any more trouble.
The Uya clan has already fallen from grace. If the Ulanara clan also falls from grace, the Empress Dowager will not spare her either.
As a collaborator, Su Yunyi would naturally ensure Consort Tian's safety, and if necessary, use the system's medicine.
After the Emperor finished his court session, he also came to visit Consort Tian.
Another hour passed, and a noisy sound came from the delivery room, followed by a cry.
The midwife came out carrying a red package and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty and Empress, it's a little princess."
The Emperor was somewhat disappointed when he heard that it was a little princess, but since no newborns had been born in the palace for a long time, he had been looking forward to this child.
The Emperor laughed and said, "Good, reward them. All the servants in Yanxi Palace will be given three months' wages, and the midwives will be given fifty taels of silver each."
Then he looked at the imperial physician and asked, "How is the child? How is Consort Tian?"
The imperial physician respectfully said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Although the baby was premature, the child is in good health, and Consort Tian is recovering well. She only needs to rest for a month to fully recover."
The Emperor was overjoyed: "Excellent! A generous reward awaits! The Sixth Princess shall be named Flora."
