After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

Half a month later, the epidemic in the palace had been almost eradicated. Zhang Tingyu reported that most of the people infected outside the palace had recovered, and the rest were still recuperating.

"Concubine Hua has done a good job this time. Once the epidemic is over, I feel at ease."

Zhang Tingyu frowned and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Sir Zhang, is there anything else?" The emperor moved forward in his chair.

Zhang Tingyu knelt on the ground and said, "Empress Hua has indeed made great contributions to this epidemic. However, I heard that Empress Hua and the Jiang brothers did not prioritize the severity of the disease when treating patients. They only treated whoever gave more money first. As a result, those who were already in very serious condition but could be cured were delayed because of lack of money."

The emperor's brows gradually grew angry. "Are you telling the truth?"

Zhang Tingyu said solemnly, "It's absolutely true. This matter has been widely spread outside."

The emperor nodded, "I understand, you can go down now!"

Zhang Tingyu wanted to continue speaking, but when he saw that the emperor looked unhappy, he withdrew.

In the Yikun Palace, "I heard that Zhang Tingyu made a report about me in front of the Emperor today."

Concubine Cao patted Wen Yi on the back and said, "Those people love to gossip in front of the emperor. Haven't you experienced this kind of thing too often? They just say a few words, and the emperor just responds with a few words without any pain and it's over."

Concubine Hua frowned and thought for a moment, "Zhou Ninghai, go tell Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen to be more restrained in their actions. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have done a great job in treating the epidemic. If the emperor is determined to investigate, I can't protect them."

Zhou Ninghai narrowed one eye slightly, and opened the other eye wide, "Madam, someone just handed in some silver. Do you want to accept it or not?"

Concubine Hua looked at Wen Yi in Concubine Cao's arms and said, "Send them away and tell the Jiang brothers to treat them as they should be treated. If anyone comes to see you again in the future, don't see them again."

Zhou Ninghai accepted the order and limped away.

Concubine Hua sat down with a somewhat resentful look in her eyes.

If you want to get things done in the palace, you have to rely on money to bribe everyone. Yikun Palace has always had the highest expenses, and her brother used to subsidize her. Now that the children of the Nian family are growing up day by day, the expenses are also increasing. She can't rely on her brother all her life, so she has to find a new way to make money.

Lady Cao looked at Concubine Hua who was thinking hard, and asked, "What's wrong with you, Madam?"

Concubine Hua came back to her senses. "The Emperor has granted Shen Meizhuang a title and completely lifted her house arrest. If it weren't for the Jiang brothers who developed the prescription in time, I'm afraid I would have been implicated this time."

Concubine Cao comforted her, "Didn't the emperor not pursue the matter further? This just proves that no matter what the queen does, the emperor loves her. Even if the queen harms other concubines, the emperor still puts the queen first."

When Concubine Hua heard this, she looked at Cao Qinmo fiercely and warned her not to talk nonsense.

"The emperor is treating me as well as before, but there are more and more women in the palace. I can't be like before. Now I have to seize the emperor's favor, but also be prepared for danger and prevent those women with ulterior motives from seducing the emperor."

After hearing this, Cao Qinmo hastily expressed her opinion, "I don't know about others, but for me, as long as I can see Wen Yi grow up safely, I will be very satisfied."

After he finished speaking, Songzhi came in, with her hands in front of her and a somewhat sullen look in her eyes.

"what happened?"

Songzhi said, "Noble Lady Fucha was feeling unwell, so she asked the imperial physician to check her out. The result was that she found... found... "

Hua Fei was impatient and frowned as she asked, "What did you find? You are so hesitant in your words."

"It's been more than a month since I found out I was pregnant."

"What?" Concubine Hua almost lost her balance when she heard the news. She pressed her hands hard on the corner of the table. "Are you telling the truth?"

Songzhi nodded, "It's absolutely true. The emperor has probably arrived at the Yanxi Palace by now."

Cao Qinmo said: "There are two pregnant concubines in the Yanxi Palace all of a sudden. It's going to be lively now!"

Hua Fei turned her head and glared at her fiercely, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

She felt a strong bitterness in her heart. "Since the emperor has gone, it would be petty for me not to go. Go and get the jade phoenix hairpin in my dressing box and go to the Yanxi Palace."

In the Yanxi Palace, Noble Lady Fucha leaned on a soft pillow, her left hand on her belly, looking at the emperor eagerly.

At this time, Xia Dongchun also came in. She was almost five months pregnant and was obviously pregnant.

The queen smiled kindly, "At present, two concubines in the palace are pregnant at the same time. I congratulate the emperor and the Qing Dynasty."

After the words fell, all the concubines knelt on the ground and saluted to congratulate: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the Qing Dynasty!"

"You all get up!"

"Lady Fucha, you and Concubine Xia are very good. You are both pregnant with my children. God bless the Qing Dynasty. When you give birth to the children, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, I will promote you to a higher position!"

Xia Dongchun had been looking down upon by many people in the palace because of her pregnancy, and Noble Lady Fucha had also taken advantage of her. No one expected that she was also pregnant, which made Xia so angry that she secretly rolled her eyes.

At this time, Concubine Hua, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong came in one after another.

Concubine Hua twisted her waist and walked in front of the emperor, bowed slightly and saluted, "I heard that there was another happy event in the Yanxi Palace, so I hurried here to congratulate you, but I didn't expect to be late."

The emperor took her hand and sat beside him, "Yikun Palace is the farthest from Yanxi Palace, so it's reasonable for you to come late."

Hua Fei pretended to be indifferent and glanced at the person on the bed, and asked Song Zhi to hand over the jade hairpin, "I don't know what to give, so I will give this jade hairpin given by the emperor to Concubine Fu Cha to congratulate her. I hope Concubine Fu Cha can give birth to a prince safely."

The Emperor looked at Concubine Hua with a smile, took the jade hairpin and touched it a few times, "Yes, it was given to you on your birthday last year. I didn't expect you to be so generous. You are willing to give it to me?"

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Noble Lady Fucha: "The things that Concubine Hua sent are all first-class. You must take good care of yourself and don't let Concubine Hua down."

Noble Lady Fucha had always been suppressed by Concubine Hua and had never liked her in the first place. Now that she was pregnant, she thought the Emperor would be obsessed with her. She didn't expect that as soon as Concubine Hua came, the Emperor would praise her like this. So, she thanked Concubine Hua with a pout, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Concubine Hua stared at the emperor with sparkling eyes and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, are you talking about me? Am I from a poor family? It's just a jade hairpin. As long as Noble Lady Fucha can help Your Majesty have children, no matter how good her things are, I will not be reluctant to give it up."

Seeing this, the Queen smiled and nodded, "You should all follow Concubine Hua's example and put the Emperor and his heirs first in everything."

The concubines replied in unison: "We will keep this in mind."
