The Apo Master dressed up as Concubine Ling and killed the Ruyi sisters

The eldest prince Yonghuang was raised by Concubine Chun, and married and had children under Concubine Chun's arrangement. However, Concubine Chun had her own son, so she naturally did not treat the eldest prince Yonghuang as much as she did her own son.

The eldest prince knew that he could not rely on Concubine Chun, but fortunately, when he was a child, he recognized Concubine Xian as his adoptive mother and lived in her palace for a period of time.

Yonghuang knew that Concubine Xian was the most favored in the palace and the most loved by his father, so he often went in and out of Yikun Palace to pay his respects to Concubine Xian.

Concubine Yu saw that Yonghuang had the intention of usurping the throne, but Concubine Xian felt that Yonghuang was the emperor's eldest son and had given birth to the emperor's eldest grandson. Although she had all the advantages on the surface, there were always pros and cons to everything.

Concubine Chun led the concubines to hold a wine-offering ceremony in front of the late empress's mourning hall. After the ceremony, Concubine Chun said to Concubine Xian, "I heard that Yonghuang often went to Yikun Palace to pay respects to his sister recently. It seems that in Yonghuang's heart, I, the adoptive mother who raised him, am still not as good as his sister."

Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Sister Chun has raised Yonghuang for many years. In Yonghuang's heart, she has long been his mother. Yonghuang has only lived in my palace for a period of time. After he grew up, he still missed me. He is very filial to me. Why should I worry about him?"

Concubine Chun just smiled and said nothing. Concubine Yu couldn't bear to see her sister being wronged, so during the intermission, she went out for a walk with Concubine Xian.

Unexpectedly, he met the eldest prince Yonghuang and his wife.

Yonghuang disliked the wife chosen by Concubine Chun for him, thinking that she was of low birth and could not bring him much help. Concubine Chun advised Yonghuang to distance himself from Concubine Xian, so as not to upset Concubine Chun, his adoptive mother.

But Yonghuang thought that Concubine Chun would not care about him as an adopted son, so he should go to Yikun Palace more often to pay respects and remind Concubine Xian that he and Concubine Xian had a mother-son relationship. With Concubine Xian's help, he would be one step closer to the position of crown prince!

Concubine Xian heard the conversation between the two in a corner and felt that Yonghuang had become someone she didn't recognize.

Concubine Chun's weirdness and the exploitation of the eldest prince Yonghuang made Concubine Yu feel sorry for Concubine Xian and felt that she was not worth it. Some people coveted the position of queen and even the position of prince, which made Concubine Yu unbearable. She decided to teach them a lesson so that they would never dare to covet the supreme throne that did not belong to them!

Concubine Yu specifically instructed Yongqi, so that the third prince Yongzhang who was hiding in the back could hear, that he must not cry or grieve on the day when the late empress's coffin was moved. Only in this way could he show his calm and self-controlled side and make the emperor look at him with admiration.

At the same time, Concubine Jia also took action. She learned that Yonghuang was going to pay tribute to his biological mother, and waited there on purpose. Yonghuang heard that his mother's premature death was caused by the late queen, which made Yonghuang resent the late queen.

During the intermission of the wine-offering ceremony, Concubine Jia, with her big belly bulging, flattered: "It is because of Concubine Chun's good management that we can hold the wine-offering ceremony in an orderly manner. After the coffin of the late queen is moved in a few days, the funeral ceremony will be over. The position of queen is vacant, and Concubine Chun is so capable. In my opinion, the position of queen will definitely belong to you!"

Meipin got rid of the Seventh Prince and the late Queen, avenging her unborn child, and putting her worries to rest. She also followed Jiafei's words and flattered her.

"Who says it's not true? In the harem, Imperial Concubine Chun has the highest position and the most children. We will have to rely on her a lot in the future!"

……

Concubine Chun was very proud. She had been in charge of all palace affairs during this period. All matters, big or small, had to be asked after she was consulted. Her third prince, Yong Zhang, was also assigned by the Empress Dowager to handle the funeral. Who in the palace did not obey her?

With the recommendation of the late empress, the position of empress was already in her pocket. Although Ruyi was also a noble concubine, she had served the emperor for many years but had no children. How could Ruyi be her rival?

I'm afraid that after the funeral of the late queen is over, she will be the most honorable woman in the harem except for the queen mother!

Concubine Chun smiled and said, "Sisters, please don't say that. I am just following the rules. The rest depends on the emperor and the queen mother's wishes."

Yanwan didn't want to pay attention to those people and sat alone in the outer room to rest. Just at this time, eunuch Jinbao came to give Yihuan pregnancy medicine.

When Ruyi saw the pregnancy medicine, she remembered the conversation between the emperor and Qi Ru, and walked over to ask, "Are you still taking the pregnancy medicine now?"

Yi Huan said happily, "My concubine is weak, so the emperor gave me this pregnancy medicine. I also want to give birth to a son or daughter for the emperor, so I have been taking this pregnancy medicine."

Ruyi has always been good friends with Yihuan. Ever since she knew the truth, she has been hesitating whether to tell Yihuan. But seeing Yihuan's happy look, she couldn't bear to tell her.

I could only remind him tactfully: "The offspring is arranged by God. Medicine is poisonous. Don't drink it if you can."

Yihuan also knew this. Most medicines were bitter, and Yihuan didn't want to drink too much, but...

"What Concubine Xian said makes sense, but this is the emperor's favor to me, and I can't go against his will."

Yan Wan joked, "Although the medicine is bitter, Sister Shupin's heart is sweeter than honey. I am really envious of you."

Yi Huan blushed and said embarrassedly: "Sister Lingpin has received no less favor than me, so why bother teasing me with words? If you are envious, I will ask the emperor to prepare one for you as well."

Yan Wan smiled and said, "This is the favor that the emperor has bestowed on Sister Shupin alone. A gentleman does not take away what others like, so I will not take advantage of you."

Yi Huan gently pushed Yan Wan and said angrily, "Since Sister Lingpin started studying poetry with the Emperor and me, she has become more knowledgeable and has become more slick. You only use it to make fun of me!"

Ruyi felt uncomfortable watching Yihuan and Yanwan playing and fighting like sisters.

"Wei Yanwan knew that the emperor favored Shupin, so she made friends with Shupin under the pretext of studying, and acted like a sister in front of the emperor. Wei Yanwan only saw the emperor giving Shupin pregnancy medicine, and thought that the emperor was looking forward to Shupin giving birth to a dragon descendant, so she tried to curry favor with Shupin in every way, but she was afraid that she might end up making things worse and angering the emperor!"

Ruyi thought that Wei Yanwan was the best at currying favor with the powerful. Now that Concubine Chun was in the limelight and the concubines were vying to curry favor with her, why didn't Wei Yanwan show her ability?

She asked, "The sisters are all sitting in the inner room, why doesn't Lingpin go in and talk?"

Yan Wan heard Ruyi belittling herself in her heart again, and responded neither servilely nor arrogantly: "There are too many sisters inside, and you and I are talking to each other. It's better to be quiet and comfortable here."

"That's not your character." Ruyi said.

"Although I am young and I love to be lively, I also know that now is not the time to be lively!" Yan Wan said.

After being retorted by Yan Wan in a neither light nor severe tone, Ruyi looked a little unhappy and turned around to go outside to get some fresh air.
