Yong Zheng planned to continue watching the scene of Shen Meizhuang's "false pregnancy".

Anyway, with Yongzheng in charge, nothing will happen to Shenmeizhuang, and by the way, the hero saves the beauty and saves Shenmeizhuang from fire and water.

Moreover, there were many pregnant concubines in the harem, so whether Shen Meizhuang was pregnant or not would not have much impact.

"Since you are pregnant, I want to reward you heavily, so I will give Mr. Shen a title: Hui." Yongzheng said the reward on the spot, and then left with Shen Meizhuang and went to Xianyue Pavilion.

Shen Meizhuang is: benefiting noble people.

In the next few days, Yongzheng treated Shenmeizhuang better.

Various rewards are coming.

this day.

Yongzheng went to Xianyue Pavilion again, "Have you been feeling unwell these past few days?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Everything is fine with me." Shen Meizhuang chatted with Yong Zheng for a few words, "Your Majesty, I am a little bored today. I wonder if An can agree to come to the Old Summer Palace to accompany me?"

Before, An Lingrong was not qualified to come to Yuanmingyuan.

Although An Lingrong went to bed, Yongzheng didn't like to see her very much.

Now, Shen Meizhuang felt that she was pregnant and could not sleep with him normally. He wanted An Lingrong to come to Yuanmingyuan to sleep with Yongzheng.Shen Meizhuang didn't want other women to take advantage of him.

Yongzheng smiled and agreed.

Not long after, An Lingrong moved into Fanying Pavilion.

In the Old Summer Palace, there was a fourth elder brother named Hongli.He is the son of Yongzheng.

The fourth elder brother Hongli was the future Qianlong.

It is said that Hongli's biological mother was an ordinary-looking palace maid.

Before Yongzheng ascended the throne, he got drunk and favored this palace maid.

On this occasion, Hongli was born.

Because he disliked the humble birth of Hongli's biological mother, Yongzheng kept Hongli in captivity in the Old Summer Palace and rarely saw her.

However, that was the Yongzheng of the past.

Today's Yongzheng does not have much prejudice against Hongli.

this day.

Hongli took the initiative to come to Qinzheng Hall to pay his respects to Yongzheng. (If Hongli hadn’t taken the initiative, Yongzheng would not have remembered him.)
"Let me in." Yong Zheng ordered calmly.

He was talking to Zhang Tingyu and others about agriculture.

Over the past year, there have been considerable changes in agriculture.

Grain production has definitely increased.How much production can be increased depends on the actual situation.

Not only that, the restrictions on the land that different officials and different titles can own are also implemented, and those who dare to use tricks are basically dealt with.

There are also restrictions on businessmen, large landowners and other people without official positions, and the restrictions are even stricter.

Their interests have been greatly damaged.

They also became the main opposition force.

But it cannot become a climate.

They must either compromise or have their homes confiscated.

Turbulence is always inevitable, but it is nothing to worry about.

After the turmoil, the lives of ordinary people became easier again.

"My son, please give your regards to the emperor." Hongli was young, only eight or nine years old, and he seemed to be well-behaved and sensible.

When Hongli was born, his mother died in childbirth. Yongzheng did not want to see Hongli, so Hongli's growing environment was not that good.

Hongli, who grew up in a difficult environment, is more sensible than his peers.

"Get up and listen." Yong Zheng continued to chat with Zhang Tingyu and others about national affairs.

On the one hand, there is still war in the northwest.Logistics, food and fodder, frontline battle conditions, casualties, etc. are all complicated and need to be properly arranged.

On the one hand, how to advance various major livelihood issues requires careful discussion and consideration.

We must also consider the reactions of the ministers in the DPRK.

Hongli listened carefully on the sidelines. His performance was much better than that of the third elder brother.

The third elder brother is still a child. He just thinks about how to play and how to be lazy and not study every day. Hongli already has some small ideas and calculations, and he is also very motivated.

After handling national affairs, Zhang Tingyu and others left.

"Hongli, state affairs are complicated. You should listen more and watch more in the future to share my worries." Yongzheng suddenly had an idea to train Hongli to be a 'coolie'. After a few years of training, Hongli would be the prince and handle the government affairs.

However, Hongli probably had no chance of becoming emperor.

Because Yongzheng planned to live to be a hundred years old.

At that time, perhaps even Hongli's son might not be able to become emperor.

Hongli had no chance.

"My son, I obey." Hongli looked happy.He got what he wanted.

At this time.

Su Peisheng came in and reported: Zhen Huan and An Lingrong want to see you.

"It's gone. Just settle down and promise." If Shenmeizhuang came, Yongzheng would meet with them, but he had no intention of meeting Zhen Huan and An Lingrong.

Zhen Huan was not so favored here in Yongzheng.

The Queen has always wondered about this.

a few days later.

Hongli was called to Qinzheng Hall by Yongzheng every day and followed him to handle political affairs.

Yongzheng's move was very unusual.

In the harem, the Queen, Concubine Hua, Concubine Qi and other concubines were all shocked.

Because Yongzheng did this as if he wanted to cultivate a 'prince'.

Concubine Qi hurriedly called the third elder brother and asked Yongzheng to also let the third elder brother accompany him to serve in the Qinzheng Hall.

Yongzheng agreed easily.

Anyway, Yongzheng's son can only be a prince for a few decades at most, and has no chance of becoming an emperor.

Yongzheng didn't mind finding a few more sons to share his worries.

Yongzheng wondered if he was Kangxi and his sons were all outstanding, so he would live a more comfortable life without having to worry about "nine sons taking over the throne".

The concubines in the harem couldn't sit still and kept talking.

Especially the Queen.

She had always felt that the third elder brother should be the prince in terms of eldest son and younger brother.

Now, Yongzheng cultivates the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother at the same time. This is consistent with another saying, not to establish the elders, but to establish the virtuous.

The question was before the queen, whether to adopt the fourth elder brother Hongli.

The queen has no children. She needs a child to be the emperor so that she can become the empress dowager safely in the future.

The queen was good at conspiracy and calculation, but she was poor at decision-making. After much deliberation, she still did not adopt Hongli, but chose to continue to wait and see.

Although Concubine Hua was grounded, she also heard the news.

"It's a pity that I'm not in the Old Summer Palace, otherwise, I would have adopted Hongli immediately." Concubine Hua had made this decision, but she had no chance now.

By the way, Yongzheng also had a fifth elder brother.

However, the fifth elder brother is still young.His biological mother did not want to participate in the fight, and did not ask Yongzheng to let the fifth elder brother come to Qinzheng Hall.

Everyone has his own ambitions, and some people are self-aware and will not participate in the struggle for imperial power.

In the harem, the pregnant concubine also has some ideas, but she still needs to wait for the child to be born.

In a blink of an eye, it was the first birthday party for Cao Guiren's daughter, Princess Wen Yi.

Yongzheng didn't like Cao Guiren, so he didn't plan to hold a grand ceremony, but just held a family banquet.

The banquet was held in Qingyan, Jiuzhou.

Not many people were invited.

Yongzheng's brothers came with Fujin.

To avoid suspicion, men and women are kept separate.

And the women's side is covered by gauze curtains.

Yongzheng sat in the main seat and could see everyone.

There is nothing new about this kind of banquet.

It’s nothing more than drinking, dancing, and talking and laughing together.

Yongzheng invited his brothers to drink at will.

In the TV series, Lao Shiqi also came to the banquet and met Zhen Huan by chance.

However, now Lao Shiqi is still at the border and is a good general. He cannot come back and cannot seduce Zhen Huan.

Yongzheng had a good drinking capacity and kept urging his brothers to drink.

The atmosphere gradually became warmer, and the brothers who had been imprisoned before gradually became less restrained.

Soon.

Concubine Duan is here.

She is in much better health, unlike before where she was out of breath before finishing a sentence.

Concubine Hua was not here, and she did not see Concubine Duan's condition. Otherwise, Concubine Hua would definitely cause trouble.

Zhen Huan still couldn't sit still and ran out secretly.

Yongzheng saw it and shook his head. This Zhen Huan is too casual and shameless. She is not as good as Shen Meizhuang.

Saw some singing and dancing.

Cao Guiren stood up with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, although this song and dance is beautiful, it is a bit stereotyped. It is not as good as this."

Cao Guiren is plotting again.

She suggested that the concubines perform a show by drawing lots.

Yong Zheng knew what was going on and nodded in agreement.

The Queen's first performance, Cao Guiren helped the Queen draw lots, and the one she drew was: calligraphy treasure, allowing the Queen to write. (This is of course a behind-the-scenes operation.)
The queen practices calligraphy every day.

Letting the queen write can be regarded as doing what she likes.

Obviously, Cao Guiren was blatantly operating behind the scenes.

The queen readily agreed and wrote the word "longevity".

Then, Cao Guiren drew a lot for Zhen Huan and asked her to dance the 'Jinghong Dance'.

"Jinghong Dance" is the famous dance of Mei Fei of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.

In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the late Queen Chunyuan also liked to dance the "Jinghong Dance", and she danced it very well.

Cao Guiren certainly had no good intentions when he asked Zhen Huan to dance the "Jinghong Dance".

Whether Zhen Huan dances well or not is wrong.

Zhen Huan is already in a trap, and it will be difficult to break out of it.

As soon as the queen and others heard the "Jinghong Dance", they knew what was going on. It was Cao Gui who was trying to make things difficult for Zhen Huan.

At this time, the queen still kept a false mask and encouraged Concubine Hua to do bad things.

The queen was still maintaining her "generous and benevolent" persona and spoke for Zhen Huan, "Jinghong dance is easy to learn but difficult to master, so it's better not to dance."

Xin Changzai and others also felt that Zhen Huan should not be allowed to dance the Jinghong Dance.

Zhen Huan also stood up and declined.

"Zhen Changzai is very talented, and all women can dance the Jinghong Dance." Cao Guiren had no intention of letting Zhen Huan go, and continued to pester her.

"Ahem." Yongzheng coughed, "Let's do this. If the concubines and Fujin are not pregnant, they will all go on stage to dance the Jinghong Dance." Yongzheng must be uneasy about common sense. Why should Cao Guiren lead the way? .

Yongzheng's words shocked everyone.

The queen was about to refuse.

Yongzheng said, "The queen can appreciate it."

"Your Majesty, I..." Cao Guiren also wanted to refuse.

"Mr. Cao, you are also allowed to dance. You must not refuse." Yong Zheng blocked most of the people with one sentence.

Those Fujins looked at each other and wanted to refuse, but they didn't dare.

In the TV series, originally only Zhen Huan danced the Jing Hong Dance.

Now, everyone dances together.

Several people wanted to refuse on the pretext of being unwell, but as long as they were not pregnant, Yongzheng refused and had to jump.

After a while.

The women changed their clothes.

Come up and perform the Jinghong Dance.

The scene was both awkward and heated at the same time.

A startling dance came down.

Sure enough, Zhen Huan performed best. (She has specifically learned Jinghong dance.)
Cao Guiren's performance was average.

Others are just average.

An Lingrong and Fang Chunyi performed the worst. (They probably haven’t studied well.)
Yong Zheng was the first to applaud, "Okay, okay, I didn't expect Zhen Changzai's dance to be so beautiful, thank you!"

Yongzheng was happy, and everyone had to laugh with him.

The next banquet was even more lively.

From time to time there are performances of songs, dances and musical instruments.

The banquet was a success.

Yongzheng's brothers were all drunk by Yongzheng and were carried out.

After the banquet.

Cao Guiren held Wen Yi in his arms and quietly begged Yongzheng for help, hoping that Yongzheng would lift Concubine Hua's ban.

Yongzheng refused directly.

Even though Yongzheng received news of Nian Gengyao's victory in the war, Yongzheng did not allow Yikun Palace to return to normal.

Yongzheng was not afraid of Nian Gengyao and did not need to be patient.

The reason why Concubine Hua was not relegated to the cold palace was because Concubine Hua had attended her bed and retained some affection.

Send Cao Guiren away.Yongzheng thought of Zhen Huan's Jinghong Dance just now and felt unhappy.

Then he went to Bitong Academy.

Let Zhen Huan dance the Jinghong Dance for him alone.

"Okay, okay, it's really good!" Yong Zheng laughed and carried Zhen Huan to the bedroom.

After a few days.

Yongzheng often asked Zhen Huan to dance, sing, or play the flute.

this day.

News came that the team transporting grain and grass was in trouble.

An Lingrong's father, An Bihuai, was involved in the case and was arrested.

When Yongzheng received the news, he hesitated and told Su Peisheng, "Ask An to agree to come over."

"Whoo."

In the TV series, because of this incident, Yongzheng was so angry that he almost had An Bihuai's head chopped off, without any regard for An Lingrong's feelings.In Yongzheng's mind, the concubines in the harem were insignificant compared to state affairs.

After a while.

An Lingrong is here dressed up.

She hasn't received the message yet.She didn't know that her father An Bihuai had been arrested.

"An agrees, your father An Bihuai" Yong Zheng briefly explained the situation.

An Lingrong immediately turned pale and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, my father has always been cautious and cautious, and only seeks to protect himself."

“Don’t cry and cry, I asked you to come over and tell you this, just so that you don’t worry.

I will have people investigate your father’s matter in detail.

If nothing happens, that's it.

If something really happens." At this point, Yongzheng paused, "If something really happens, let him live. "

When Yongzheng said this, he was taking care of the families of the concubines in the harem.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty." An Lingrong thanked him repeatedly.

"Okay, get up. If you have nothing to do, go down." Yong Zheng sent An Lingrong away.

Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan and others also heard the news.

Together they comforted An Lingrong.

"Sister, don't worry too much. Since the emperor said it, your father must be fine." Shen Meizhuang said.

"Yes, sister, the emperor still cares about you." Zhen Huan also advised.

Although An Bihuai's matter involved food and grass, in Yongzheng's eyes, it was not worth getting angry at. He could just order someone to handle it properly and that would be the end of the matter.

this day.

Yongzheng came to Bitong Academy again and continued to let Zhen Huan perform.

Zhen Huan's personal maid, Huan Bi, dressed up deliberately to flatter Yong Zheng.

Huanbi's approach, in the eyes of Yongzheng and Zhen Huan, means 'everything will appear'.

Huanbi's thoughts are clear at a glance.

Yongzheng did not send Huanbi away, but he didn't even look at Huanbi.

In the TV series, Huanbi is Zhen Huan's half-sister, and Huanbi is also the daughter of the guilty minister.Huanbi showed her favor to Yongzheng because she wanted her mother to be included in the Zhen family tree.

Huanbi also betrayed Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan also spared Huan Bi.

Huanbi's appearance seemed average to Yongzheng and he was not interested in her.

A few more days passed.

this evening.

Xianyue Pavilion in Shenmeizhuang is extremely lively.

The queen and her concubines arrived.

Yongzheng also came with Zhen Huan.

After the ceremony.

"How are you? How do you feel recently?" Yong Zheng asked Shen Meizhuang.

"I think it's very good, thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Meizhuang was somewhat disappointed because Yong Zheng had been staying with Zhen Huan in the past few days and had not come over.

There are many people talking, so we can chat casually for a while.

Yong Zheng was about to leave and just walked outside.

I saw a palace maid sneaking over.

Yongzheng knew that some people's plans had begun.

The palace maid was still sneaking around, deliberately attracting Yongzheng's attention.

But Yong Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Cao Guiren saw something was wrong and hurriedly said: "Who is there? Sneaky."

This sentence should have been Yongzheng's words, but Yongzheng didn't say it.

The guards rushed up and caught the palace maid.

"Isn't this the Poria cocos in Hui Guiren's palace? Why are you so sneaky?" Cao Guiren continued to act.She is now a director.

"Bring it in." Yongzheng returned to the palace garden in Shenmeizhuang. He knew that there would be a good show next.

Everyone followed and returned.

Yongzheng sat down and everyone else stood aside.

"What do you have in your hand?" Su Peisheng took the bundle from Fuling's hand, but did not open it.

Cao Guiren hurried up and opened Poria's bag.

He took out the bloody underwear inside.

"what is that?"

"Where did the blood come from?"

"Isn't it Hui Gui who has become famous?"

Listening to the others talking, Yong Zheng said nothing and watched the changes.

After a few words, Fu Ling took the initiative and said, "Little Master, I will destroy the evidence for you, how can you be so cruel?

Your Majesty, my mistress, she is actually not pregnant.

These clothes are ironclad proof! "

Poria, the 'traitor', started to take action, saying that Shen Meizhuang pretended to be pregnant to deceive Yongzheng.

Shen Meizhuang was frightened by this sudden blow and became dizzy. Zhen Huan on the side hurriedly supported him.

After a pause, Shen Meizhuang hurriedly said to Yong Zheng: "Your Majesty, she insulted my concubine."

"I know." Yong Zheng nodded. He didn't follow the script, nor did he ask for an imperial doctor to come.

But the queen said a few high-sounding words and asked Su Peisheng to ask the imperial doctor to come over.

If you ask an imperial doctor at this time, you just don't trust Shen Meizhuang.

The queen had already seen the clues and couldn't help but push the boat along.Anyway, Shen Meizhuang is also a potential threat and should be eliminated as soon as possible.This is harem fighting.

"Hey." Su Peisheng was about to ask the imperial doctor.

"Eunuch Su, please invite Dr. Liu to come. I just don't know if he is on duty today?" Shen Meizhuang still didn't know that Liu Fan was a 'traitor'.

"To tell you my little master, Doctor Liu is not on duty today." Su Peisheng would reply like this regardless of whether Liu Gan was on duty or not.This is his cleverness.

"It doesn't matter if he's not on duty. Call him over, and then call Jiang Cheng, Jiang Shen, and Zhang Mi over." Yong Zheng finally spoke.

"Hey." Su Peisheng took the order and left.

Yong Zheng took Shen Meizhuang's cold little hand and said, "Meizhuang doesn't need to worry, everything is mine."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The doctors arrived one after another.

First, Zhang Mi checked Shen Meizhuang's pulse.

Zhang Mi found out within seconds that Shen Meizhuang was not pregnant, but he did not dare to say it explicitly. He just argued that the medical skills were not good enough and that he needed to diagnose together with Jiang Cheng and others.

The two brothers Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen also came.

They also took Zhen Huan's pulse and said, "Your Majesty, my mistress is not pregnant. I wonder which imperial physician made the diagnosis that my mistress is pregnant?"

Jiang Cheng also started to act up.

He is a person in Concubine Hua's plan to murder Shen Meizhuang, and he is also a very key person.

He gave Shen Meizhuang a prescription to help her get pregnant.

Afterwards, let Poria cocos steal the recipe.

Jiang Cheng also said that this prescription was not to help with pregnancy, but to delay the pregnancy. After a few twists and turns, Shen Meizhuang could fake a pregnancy to deceive Yongzheng. It was a vicious strategy.

"It's Liu Fan, Imperial Physician Liu." Caiyue replied.

"Where is Liu Fan?" Yongzheng asked.

"Back to the emperor, Liu Fan is not here and the building is empty." Su Peisheng said.

"Not there? Hehe." Yong Zheng couldn't help laughing.

Concubine Hua's plan was to deceive the absent-minded emperor, not even the servants around him.

In the TV series, Yongzheng was deceived as if he were a fool, and it was also artificially reduced to his intelligence.

"Your Majesty, a few months ago, Mr. Hui Gui asked me for a way to postpone the monthly letter." Jiang Cheng took the initiative to explain something.Anyway, it’s a trap for Shenmeizhuang.

At this time, Shen Meizhuang couldn't hold himself any longer and hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, I asked Imperial Physician Jiang for a prescription, but this prescription is to help with pregnancy, not to delay the pregnancy. I am really wronged."

"Meizhuang got up first, how can I not believe you?" Yongzheng helped Shen Meizhuang up and comforted him a few words.Yongzheng did not follow the script, nor did he ask Shen Meizhuang for a prescription.

The queen next to her couldn't help but ask Shen Meizhuang where Fangzi was again.

Concubine Hua was away, so the queen could only assist quietly.

But the Queen's two questions clearly revealed her whereabouts.Afterwards, when Zhen Huan and the others review the situation, they will definitely be aware of it.

Shen Meizhuang hurriedly asked Caiyue to bring out the prescription, but the prescription was stolen by Fu Ling and could not be found.

The recipe cannot be found.

Liu Wei, who said Shen Meizhuang was pregnant, also disappeared.

Liu Gan was a fellow villager of Shenmeizhuang and was recommended by Shenmeizhuang.

Poria, the palace maid next to Shen Meizhuang, said that Shen Meizhuang was falsely pregnant.

Jiang Cheng said that Shen Meizhuang wanted to delay Yue Xin's prescription.

Now, Shen Meizhuang is really not pregnant.

This piece of information is summarized in one sentence: Shen Meizhuang fakes pregnancy to compete for favor.

Moreover, Cao Guiren directly pointed out these words: "Your Majesty, Hui Guiren was just confused for a moment and did not intentionally fake a pregnancy to win favor. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"No, I didn't. Your Majesty, I am wronged. I am really wronged." Shen Meizhuang knelt down again.She was so confused at the moment, completely confused.

"Meizhuang, get up first, I said, I believe you." Yong Zheng helped Shen Meizhuang up again.

Shen Meizhuang looked at Yong Zheng with a grateful expression.A huge sense of security enveloped Shenmeizhuang.

At this moment, the Yong Zheng in Shen Meizhuang's eyes was shining.

Shen Meizhuang completely fell in love with Yongzheng.

The concubines around were stunned for a moment.

Because, at this time, Yongzheng is still willing to believe in Shen Meizhuang, which is incredible.

Zhen Huan showed a happy smile.

Such an emperor is worth loving for a lifetime.

"Your Majesty, this matter is quite fishy. It is better to send Poria Cocos to the Criminal Division for strict interrogation." The Queen suggested.She reacted the fastest and immediately changed her position.

"That's okay. This Poria cocos betrays its master and what he says cannot be trusted." Yong Zheng responded.He hasn't decided yet whether to reveal the answer to the mystery.

"But, Your Majesty, that prescription?" Cao Guiren was unwilling to let Shen Meizhuang go like this.After all, it had been planned for a long time and involved many people and several imperial doctors.

"Prescription? Jiang Cheng, think again, what kind of prescription did you give Mr. Hui?" Yong Zheng glanced at Jiang Cheng flatly.

"This" Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment. He fired his bow without an arrow to turn back, and could only walk all the way to the dark side. "Your Majesty, Fang Zi indeed delayed Yue Xin."

"Really?" Yong Zheng smiled contemptuously, "Su Peisheng checked the medicine used by the noble Hui and what's in it."

"Hey." The prescription is gone, and there is no medicine either, but you can still find the dregs of the medicine.

However, Su Peisheng replied: The medicine residue is gone and cannot be found.

Poria cocos is a 'traitor', how can we not clean up the drug residue?

There was no other way to find out what medicine was used in a short period of time.

"Yes, the cleanup was quite fast." Yong Zheng smiled again, "Come here, send Jiang Cheng to the Sentence Department for strict interrogation."

"This, the emperor has been wronged, the minister has been wronged!" Jiang Cheng was shocked. He did not expect this result, and he shouted in his heart: "The emperor is unreasonable!"

"Your Majesty." Cao Guiren still wanted to speak.

"Shut up!" Yong Zheng scolded, "If it weren't for Wen Yi's sake, I would have sent you to the cold palace."

Yongzheng's words are like the sun lighting up the sky and clearing the clouds.

Many smart people have some understanding, "The emperor has seen through everything. Some people are waiting for bad luck."

Yongzheng was angry and everyone knelt down.

"Fu Ling, Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Shen were sent to the Criminal Investigation Department for severe interrogation.

Liu Fan is wanted and needs to be alive.

Zhang Mi neglected his duty and was demoted.

Cao Guiren agreed.

Okay, let's all disperse. "Yong Zheng drove everyone else away and went to the bedroom with Shen Meizhuang in his arms.

This night is destined to be restless.

A lot of people can't sleep.

In order to repay Yongzheng, Shen Meizhuang...(End of Chapter)
