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

Qingying and Hailan had a good relationship, but Fucha Langhua separated them. Su Luyun and Chen Wanyin also had a good relationship, but Fucha Langhua also separated them. This was simply to sow discord between Qingying and Su Luyun's forces.

Su Luyun lives in Zhongcui Palace and doesn't care much about it. She also lived in Zhongcui Palace in her previous life. However, back then she had a son and was named Chunpin. Now she has no children but can still be named Mupin, which proves that the emperor already has her in his heart.

Su Luyun planned to give birth to Yongzhang a year later. Although Hongli did not mind that concubines were pregnant during the mourning period, it would be difficult to deal with the situation if the previous dynasty attacked Yongzhang when he grew up and pursued power.

Given that Su Luyun is only nineteen years old, she wants to play for another year before starting to educate and raise her child. Raising a child is a big project that requires the right values. You can't raise a child to be too naive, nor can you raise a child to be too heartless.

After thinking it through, Su Luyun began to enjoy herself more. Of course, during the mourning period, Su Luyun could not drink alcohol, make merry, play the zither, or dance. However, she could occasionally play chess with Chen Wanyin, eat some delicious food, and paint the scenery.

Chen Wanyin is now on Su Luyun's side. Su Luyun is starting to wonder if she should get Chen Wanyin pregnant with a prince, but the Emperor's contraceptive pills haven't worn off yet, so she has plenty of time to think it over.

With the affairs of the court and the harem settled into a stable state, this day marked the first New Year's greeting.

Su Luyun and Chen Wanyin arrived at Changchun Palace together. Gao Xiyue, Fucha Zhuying, Jin Yuyan, and Huang Qiying were already seated. Gao Xiyue and Jin Yuyan were chatting on the side.

Seeing Su Luyun bring Chen Wanyin in, Fucha Zhuying said first, "Oh, I was wondering who it was. She came to the main hall to pay her respects to me this morning, and then went to Zhongcui Palace. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Consort Wan was staying at Zhongcui Palace."

Fucha Zhuying's sarcastic tone drew Gao Xiyue and Jin Yuyan's attention back to the present.

Fucha Zhuying was indignant. She had given birth to the eldest prince and only then did she receive the rank of concubine, while Su Luyun, a member of the Han Banner Army, who had no children, held the same position as her. How could she be content with that? She knew that her rank was definitely lower than that of the Empress, but she just couldn't accept it.

Kim Ok-yeon was even more indignant. She came here from Korea for her mother's sake and had been taking care of her health for a year. She was still not pregnant, yet after entering the palace, she was only a minor concubine.

Gao Xiyue had no complaints. She had a child now, and although the child was weak, he had grown up safely to the age of two. As a Noble Consort, she was superior to Qingying, who was also a Consort.

Su Luyun glanced at Fucha Zhuying. This was not a smart person. How smart could someone be to be harmed by Jin Yuyan and Sulian?

Chen Wanyin said gently, "I wish to pay my respects to Consort Zhe. I am on good terms with Sister Mu and would like to come with her to pay my respects. If Consort Zhe does not allow it, I will certainly not go to Zhongcui Palace."

As soon as Chen Wanyin spoke, she exuded an aura of innocence, leaving Fucha Zhuying speechless. Her eyes darkened, and she thought, "You wretch, just wait until we get back to Yonghe Palace, and I'll see how I deal with you."

Just as Jin Yuyan was about to sow discord, Qingying walked in with Hailan through the door.

When Gao Xiyue saw Hailan, she was instantly furious. Hailan lived in the back hall of Xianfu Palace and hadn't even paid her respects to her in the morning before running off to Yanxi Palace. She was even worse than Chen Wanyin, who at least paid her respects to the main hall in the morning before going to Zhongcui Palace.

Gao Xiyue said sarcastically, "Consort Yu, you certainly know how to fawn over others. Why doesn't Consort Xian help you get a higher rank?"

Because Hailan didn't compete for the emperor's favor and suffered from toothaches at night, she hadn't served him in bed for almost three years. The prince remembered her even less, making her even less favored than Chen Wanyin. Chen Wanyin often went to Su Luyun to play chess and paint, and occasionally ran into the emperor.

Hailan respectfully replied, "Your Highness, I only wish to visit Consort Xian."

When Qingying saw Gao Xiyue mention Hailan, she realized that Hailan was the only one on her side. Given that she was currently receiving little favor from the emperor, she was even more reluctant to lose Hailan as an ally. So she quickly said, "Consort Hui, Hailan is only close to me. Why are you being so aggressive?"

Not long after, Fucha Langhua came out of the inner room and said gently, "What are you ladies talking about?"

Gao Xiyue and Jin Yuyan started joking and making playful remarks, then the conversation shifted.

Fucha Langhua glanced at the playful and charming Su Luyun and said, "What do you all think of my clothes today?"

The concubines secretly sized her up, thinking to themselves, "She's dressed like an old nanny, it makes her look so old, how can she look good?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Gao Xiyue, as a member of the Empress's faction, quickly said, "Of course it's good, but it looks like the flower pattern from when we entered the pass."

Su Luyun frowned as she watched Fucha Langhua's performance. Whatever, she just wanted to look beautiful. The Imperial Household Department was already corrupt, but now that the harem was cutting back on expenses, the Imperial Household Department wouldn't be corrupt anymore.

Seeing Gao Xiyue respond, Fucha Langhua continued, "Since you think it's not bad, starting tomorrow, the harem needs to cut expenses, and all the concubines in the harem will have to dress like this."

The concubines were displeased. Dressed like this, how could they attract the emperor? The emperor didn't really like them to begin with, preferring to go to Consort Mu's place. Now, dressed like this, making them look so old, wouldn't that just push the emperor away?

But what could they do? The Empress had already said they needed to cut expenses; could they refuse?

Jin Yuyan said, "This concubine will naturally obey Your Majesty the Empress."

After finishing this matter, Fucha Langhua continued, "Since the founding emperor, all the princes in the harem have been sent to the Prince's Residence. Starting tomorrow, the eldest prince and the second prince will be sent to the Prince's Residence. As for the princesses, all of you sisters need to do your best."

Fucha Zhuying didn't have any objections. The eldest prince was almost six years old this year, and it was time for him to go to the Imperial Study to study. However, she still needed to make careful arrangements for the prince's residence and not let any villains take advantage of the situation.

When the princess was mentioned, Gao Xiyue thought of the frail and sickly Jingyue, and immediately lost all interest in targeting Qingying and the others.

Fucha Langhua spoke a few more words with them, then dismissed them.
