However, Concubine Qi felt a little uncomfortable when she heard the news. She knew in her heart that Fang Chunyi was completely taking the blame.

But I have to say that Jingshan is really efficient.

Not only did he solve An Lingrong's problem, but he could also take Fang Chunyi with him! If this continued for a long time, wouldn't the entire harem belong to him?

This news spread throughout the harem, and naturally, soon the emperor also heard the news.

"Chun Changzai was demoted to a concubine?"

When the emperor heard the news, his face was full of surprise. After all, he had not heard any rumors about it before.

"Your Majesty..."

At this moment, Su Peisheng naturally stood aside and guessed the emperor's intentions.

Fang Chunyi has only been in the emperor's favor for a short time, so she can be considered a new favorite. The emperor likes her quite a bit, but I don't know what the emperor means by that.

But Fang Chunyi's fate was, after all, the Empress Dowager's intention. I just don't know what the Emperor will do.

If the emperor really likes Fang Chunyi, even if it is the empress dowager's intention, the emperor probably won't care so much.

"That's all."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "I don't want to worry about these trivial matters. Since it is the Queen Mother's wish, I will do as she says. The Queen Mother has never asked about the affairs of the harem, but since she asked, it must be a big deal that she cannot tolerate!"

There were many things going on in the previous dynasty, but the emperor did not expect that even the harem would cause her so much trouble.

If you think about it carefully, this kind of situation has never happened before when Shilan was in charge of the harem.

To be honest, I do miss her a little. Although Concubine Duan is steady, she is still not as good as Shilan in managing the harem.

During the time when Fang Chunyi was under house arrest, the emperor never went to the Yanx Palace once. Fang Chunyi was under house arrest, and An Lingrong caught a cold again.

Instead, it benefited Concubine Qi and Noble Lady Qi.

I have seen the emperor more often during this period of time than when I was in the palace before.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, please have some tea."

As expected, the emperor came to Concubine Qi's bedroom that night. He didn't come to sleep with her, but just wanted to talk privately, read a book, and get some quiet time.

I don’t know if Concubine Qi can’t speak, but every time she opens her mouth, the emperor’s good mood disappears.

"It's cold outside. What does it have to do with this room?" The emperor said slowly, but it made Concubine Qi quite embarrassed.

Perhaps she realized that her words would not make the emperor happy, so she shut up and said no more.

"How is Third Prince doing lately? Is he studying hard?"

Although the emperor thought Concubine Qi was a little stupid, he still took her tea and asked questions while drinking it.

When the third prince was mentioned, Concubine Qi became interested.

The fact that the emperor was willing to ask about it showed that he must care. Concubine Qi was thinking that the emperor did not have many sons, only two, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince. The Third Prince was the eldest son, so it was reasonable for the emperor to have high hopes for him.

"Your Majesty, you don't know."

As she spoke, Concubine Qi sat down next to the emperor and said, "Third Prince has grown taller again, and he is studying hard for his lessons."

"I often tell Hongshi, Hongshi, you must be more careful. You are your father's eldest son. You can help your father share his worries in the future."

But when the emperor heard what Concubine Qi said, he originally wanted to meet Hongshi, but after Concubine Qi finished speaking, he no longer had any desire to meet Hongshi.

"Don't you have anything else to teach your son?"

Since Concubine Qi is a woman, the Emperor didn't say anything. It's ok that she has grown taller after becoming an adult. The Third Prince is weak and fragile, so he must not learn to be like Concubine Qi.

Actually, it was because Concubine Qi was not a good enough mother and doted on the Third Prince too much, which ruined the child.

Looking at the emperor's face, if she wasn't stupid, Concubine Qi could tell that the emperor was unhappy: "Yes, Your Majesty, I was saying that when Hongshi has finished his lessons, the emperor will come to see him."

"Your Majesty, please meet Hongshi." Since things had come to this, Concubine Qi asked without hesitation.

But Concubine Qi immediately spoiled the emperor's mood: "No need, I am tired today, I will rest early, let Hongshi do the same, go to bed early, only then can he grow taller."

The emperor didn't want to pay any attention to Concubine Qi at all now, and his words were just deliberate sarcasm.

Concubine Qi didn't say anything and followed him quickly.

However, for a middle-aged couple, there is no hope for any joy in the boudoir. The night passed by peacefully.

It's winter now, and Concubine Duan has been in charge of the harem for a few months. I can't say that she has handled the situation very well, but it's still pretty good.

The next morning, Concubine Duan sent someone to invite Concubine Jing and Concubine Qi to Yanqing Palace.

"Greetings to my sister."

While waiting for the two to come, I found that Concubine Duan had been waiting for a long time.

Originally, when Concubine Qi heard the news in the morning, she didn't want to come, as she had no connection with Concubine Duan. But then she thought that since she was now in charge of the six palaces, she had to give her some face.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be like shooting yourself in the foot and shortening your own path?

This is not a problem, the main thing is that Concubine Qi cannot help but consider the Third Prince.

It’s okay for Concubine Jing, the main thing is Concubine Qi. After all, she was the Queen’s person before. However, looking at Concubine Qi’s current state, Concubine Duan is still quite satisfied.

"I asked you to come here because it is winter now and the New Year will come soon. According to the customs of our Qing Dynasty, sisters, we should also think about how to organize a palace banquet."

Yes, it’s almost the end of the year, but in the past this matter was always handled by Nian Shilan.

But now Nian Shilan is just a promise-maker, so naturally she doesn't want to care about these things.

But Concubine Duan couldn't go and ask the emperor, as she would inevitably be scolded again. In desperation, she had to call Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing over.

After all, it was an idea that three people came up with together. If the emperor was really unhappy, Concubine Duan would not have to bear the responsibility alone.

"What's the big deal? I thought it was pretty much the same as before. It's just a small matter, why did Concubine Duan ask us to come here?"

It was Concubine Qi who spoke, and with just one sentence, she offended Concubine Duan.

However, this matter still needs long-term consideration, and Concubine Duan did not pay any attention to her.

It is almost the end of the year, and everyone in the harem has their eyes on Yanqing Palace and Yangxin Palace, and of course, Shoukang Palace.

In addition, the Empress Dowager's health is getting worse, so this is really not a good year.
