After the beginning of spring, there was a spring rain and Liu started a war at night.

No matter how reluctant the concubines in the harem were, Liu was pregnant with the emperor's child, and the emperor and the empress showed great importance to it, so they had to be present even if it rained heavily.

Zhen Huan was already in her advanced period, and the Emperor had ordered the Empress to exempt Concubine Rou from paying respects to her parents. Zhen Huan had been staying in Sui Yuxuan to take care of her pregnancy.

The roads were slippery due to the rain, so the emperor asked Su Peisheng to go to Suiyuxuan to deliver the message and told him not to come.

This is the treatment that only happens during pregnancy.

Yixiu and Nian Shilan arrived late, and everyone's eyes were on them.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed." Concubine Hua knelt down and saluted.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty live long and healthy lives." Yixiu's words moved faster than her body. Before she could even bend her knees, she was helped up by the emperor.

Yongzheng had previously told Yixiu in person that she would not need to perform formalities in the future, but that was only when she was alone with Yongzheng. In front of the concubines, Yixiu still had to abide by the rules.

Yongzheng: "My two beloved concubines, there is no need to be so polite."

When Concubine Hua saw the Emperor, she reached out to help the Imperial Concubine instead of herself. The corners of her mouth sank slightly. They were both bowing to the Emperor at the same time, but the Emperor only helped the Imperial Concubine and not herself. She was obviously hit by this huge gap.

Yixiu's eyes moved slightly, she smiled softly at Yongzheng, and sat down next to him.

His eyes swept over Nian Shilan, whose eyes were slightly red and dazed.

This kind of thing happened many times in the original body's previous life, but whenever the two of them saluted Yongzheng together, Yongzheng only supported Nian Shilan.

Being able to irritate Nian Shilan a little, seeing Nian Shilan's eyes turn as red as a rabbit, Yixiu felt much better.

The Queen had no time to care about Yixiu and Nian Shilan. She just glanced at them indifferently. She was now hoping that Liu's belly would be more successful and give birth to the prince she had been waiting for for a long time.

As Yixiu sat there, she began to move from beside Yongzheng to beside Concubine Jing. Concubine Hua immediately took the seat where Yixiu had sat and sat beside Yongzheng.

"How long has Liu been in labor?" Hearing the miserable cries in the delivery room, Yixiu lowered her voice and asked Concubine Jing beside her.

Concubine Jing also lowered her voice and replied: "It has been an hour. The midwife just came to report that Liu's baby is too well nourished and it will be difficult to give birth."

Liu's baby was a bit big, thanks to the treatment the Empress had the Ministry of Internal Affairs give her, which was based on the status of a concubine. Liu was a palace maid, so she had never had such a good life. In addition, the supplements sent by the empresses from the palaces, such as the tonic bird's nest and ginseng...

Liu wanted to eat the whole thing, which caused the baby to grow too large and was difficult to deliver.

Liu's childbirth made the emperor impatient and he went from sitting to standing.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu gave birth to Yongzheng's tenth princess.

Nanny: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty, Miss Liu has safely given birth to a daughter."

There was no expression on Yongzheng's face.

He has no shortage of princes, including intelligent ones. He has a total of eight princes, six of whom were born to Yixiu. Among them, the eldest prince, Honghui, has the ability to remember everything he sees.

Hongshi, born to him by Concubine Qi, and Hongzhou, born to him by Concubine Yu, were too mediocre to be used in important positions.

This meant that he could only choose his successor from among the princes born to him by Ulanara Yixiu. Although he had already decided on the next heir, Honghui, he still wanted to have more princes born to other concubines in the harem.

The only thing Yongzheng was worried about now was whether they would gang up on him if he entrusted them with important tasks in the future.

"I congratulate His Majesty on having another little princess."

It was not until Concubine Hua spoke that Yongzheng came back to his senses.

Then the concubines came to congratulate.

Yongzheng: "Liu has been rewarded for giving birth to a son. She will be promoted to a noble lady after the full month."

As soon as Yongzheng left, Yixiu followed him.

Well, she returned to her Chengqian Palace.

Seeing the disappointment on the queen's face, and the look of being unable to recover for a long time, Concubine Hua couldn't help but laugh: "It must be unpleasant to have worked so hard for nothing."

Without waiting for the Queen's reaction, Concubine Hua walked out of Jingren Palace with her personal maids and eunuchs.

Everyone knew what the Queen was thinking, but no one dared to make sarcastic remarks to her like Concubine Hua did.

Concubine Jing and other concubines of lower rank took their leave one after another.

Later, the concubines heard the news that Concubine Liu was moved out of Jingren Palace by the Queen before she even finished her confinement.

There are many princesses in the palace, and without the protection of the queen, Concubine Liu has a hard time.

The queen did not adopt a princess. Although there were many princesses in the harem, they all had biological mothers. Liu was a noble lady and could not raise a princess. As the only two candidates without children in the harem, Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing fell in love with the tenth princess born to Liu.

Concubine Duan was ruthless and had connections in the palace. She secretly had people put poison in Liu's food. Liu felt drowsy for several days. Her personal maid went to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the imperial physician, who happened to be Concubine Duan's man. He diagnosed that Liu had postpartum sequelae due to damage to her body during childbirth.

Compared to the vicious Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing's approach was much more subtle. She just stayed close to and cared about Lady Liu and her children.

In their previous life, Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing became Zhen Huan's party because of their children.

These two were also her original enemies. Although they had never provoked her in this life, Yixiu just couldn't bear to see them doing well. As long as she was around, it would be impossible for them to adopt the Tenth Princess.

Yixiu called Jianqiu over.

"Jianqiu, tell our people to tell Concubine Hua that Concubine Duan has been secretly trying to kill the mother and keep her daughter."

Jian Qiu: "My lady, I will do it now."

Soon, Songzhi heard that Concubine Duan had been uneasy recently, and even wanted to adopt the Tenth Princess despite her sickly body. This matter must be told to the Queen.

After hearing Songzhi's report, Nian Shilan's knuckles had turned white as she gripped the corner of the table, and she waved her hand, smashing the teacup on the table.

"That bitch, she killed my child and even wanted to adopt the Tenth Princess."

Songzhi: "Don't be angry, Madam. With Concubine Duan's sickly body, the Emperor will not let Concubine Duan raise the Tenth Princess."

Nian Shilan: "She must be pretending to be sick for me."

"She dares to pretend to be sick in front of me. I will make her pay." Nian Shilan laughed in anger.

Concubine Duan's secret operation was discovered by Concubine Hua, who went straight to Yanqing Palace and beat Concubine Duan until she vomited blood. She also dismissed the imperial physician who was treating Concubine Liu and specifically ordered the Imperial Hospital to stop giving Concubine Duan's medicine.

This series of operations completely gave up Concubine Duan's idea of ​​adopting a tenth princess. Concubine Duan was really sick this time.

Noble Lady Liu saved her life thanks to Noble Concubine Hua's help.

Concubine Hua: "That bitch, Concubine Jing, is getting more and more ambitious. Now she wants to adopt a princess. Will she want to adopt a prince in the future?"

Concubine Cao: "Back then, Concubine Jing was just a princess in the queen's room. Now she is lucky enough to be promoted to a concubine by the emperor. I guess she has become arrogant because she has become Concubine Jing.

Your Majesty, you might as well send someone to Xianfu Palace to warn Concubine Jing so that she doesn't have any inappropriate thoughts."

There are too many people in the harem who have no children. Not to mention the imperial concubine, even the concubines in the palace, except for the high-ranking concubines Duanfei and Jingfei, there are also many low-ranking concubines who have no children.

In order to seize her daughter, Concubine Duan dared to secretly poison the concubines in the palace. Cao Qinmo was also worried that one day someone would treat her in the same way for Wen Yi.

Concubine Hua: "Well, that's a good idea, Songzhi, you go and warn Concubine Jing."

Songzhi: "It's the Queen."

Concubine Jing, who was staying well in Xianfu Palace, was warned by Concubine Hua's maid.

After making sure that Songzhi had gone far away and would not come back, Ruyi dared to complain: "Your Majesty, Songzhi is too arrogant. She is just a maid, yet she dares to be disrespectful to you."

At some point, the queen was warned by a little maid, although Songzhi was only delivering the message on behalf of her master.

"Even the Queen would show her respect, let alone me."

Songzhi's arrogant look just now reminded Concubine Jing of her time in the Qiandi Palace, when she was still a princess in Nian Shilan's room. She was bullied by Nian Shilan all day long, and her life was even worse than that of the servants under Nian Shilan. It was not until she entered the palace and became the mistress of a palace that her life became better.

Now that she has been promoted to the position of concubine by the emperor, even if Concubine Hua's maid humiliates her and reports it to the emperor, the emperor will not punish Songzhi severely. She knows very well that she is just a knife promoted by the emperor to check and balance Concubine Hua.

It was also this incident that made Concubine Jing realize that as long as Concubine Hua was in the harem, there was no possibility for her to adopt a princess.

Yixiu was very satisfied with what happened recently. She also took a small revenge on Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing from Zhen Huan's team for her original self.

Zhen Huan was about to give birth, and she was exhausted from taking care of the baby. During her pregnancy, Huanbi did something big: she climbed into the emperor's bed and became a concubine.
