In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Today is the second day since Concubine Nian entered the mansion. The women in the backyard gathered in the main courtyard early in the morning to pay their respects, waiting to see the elegance of the legitimate daughter of the Nian family.

Over the years, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen has transformed from a bald prince into the powerful Prince Yong, and the former Fourth Lady Yixiu has also transformed from the Fourth Beile's wife into today's Princess of Yong.

As a prince, Yinzhen was allowed to have two concubines, but after the death of concubine Miao, none of the women in the backyard had been able to make Yinzhen like her enough to be willing to write a letter to make her a concubine. Similarly, because of Rouze's manipulation, Li, who was originally promoted to concubine by virtue of her son's status, is still a princess. As she grows older, her favor has gradually decreased. Now, it has already reached the point in the plot where Yinzhen cannot see her once a month.

After Nian Shilan entered the palace, the concubines of the same class, who are well-known characters in the plot, including Concubine Li Fei Yunyan, Concubine Cao Qinmo, Concubine Jing Feng Ruozhao, and Concubine Fang, the original owner of Suiyuxuan, have also been arranged by Concubine De to enter the palace one after another.

Before Nian Shilan entered the mansion, Concubine Xin Lü Yingfeng and Concubine Yu Geng, from the previous batch of concubines, also entered the mansion three years ago. From then until the official start of the plot, all the women in Prince Yong's mansion were in place.

Just like in the plot, Yinzhen is already over 30 years old, but has few children. Only his wife gave birth to a legitimate eldest son, Honghui. This caused many suspicions from the outside world. Even the emperor, Defei and even Yinzhen himself had doubts about Yixiu. They only got accurate information from the people they arranged in Yinzhen's backyard. The fact that the other women in Yinzhen's backyard had not given birth to a son had nothing to do with Yixiu.

What's more, there is an Eighth Lady next door who is famous for her jealousy in the capital. In comparison, Yixiu is not worried at all. After all, she really did nothing. Besides, in the plot, Yixiu had abortions for so many years without being discovered. Now that she has the eldest son, what else does Yixiu have to worry about?

Nian Shilan had heard of Yixiu before entering the mansion. After all, Yixiu was not only her future superior, but also the elder sister of her sweetheart.

As her lover's biological sister, Nian Shilan had long planned to treat Yixiu as her own biological sister. However, when investigating Yixiu's information, Nian Shilan also received a secret letter from her second brother Nian Gengyao.

The letter did not mention Honghui's life experience, but only told the story of the mutual love and coincidences between Nian Gengyao and Yixiu, and emphasized Yixiu's kindness and beauty, so that Nian Shilan would respect and trust Yixiu.

For this reason, Nian Shilan felt more empathy for Yixiu, the kind and beautiful woman in Nian Gengyao's words. As for her husband on the wedding night, Nian Shilan felt nothing in her heart and even felt a little disgusted with him because he was not as young as Xingde. She had to serve him with a fake smile just to make a living.

In order to gain the power of the Nian Mansion as soon as possible, Yinzhen began to pamper Nian Shilan as shown in the plot. For this purpose, he even went to the main courtyard to comfort his beloved Yixiu.

"Yi Xiu, for the sake of the power of the Nian Mansion, I have to support Nian Shilan, but my heart will always be with you. I hope you can understand my true feelings."

"As for the rest, it's just a show. I hope Yixiu won't be sad and will be more patient and tolerant."

Yixiu’s response was to smile, smiling on her face but cursing in her heart.

"As expected, Zhong Qingdan can't change this person's suspicious nature. What sincerity? Isn't it just that he can't stand my dominance in the mansion and wants to use Nian Shilan to check and balance me?"

For Yixiu, if she has to choose between a man who says he loves her but makes her suffer and endure hardships in his actions and a man who doesn't express his love much but always puts her first in his actions and never lets her suffer hardships, she would of course choose the second one.

Yixiu felt that Nian Shilan, who was not blinded by Yinzhen, must have thought the same.

Sure enough, Nian Shilan's first appearance after entering the mansion went very smoothly. Seeing Nian Shilan saluting so respectfully and docilely, Yixiu hurriedly called her up, and then arranged for the princesses in the mansion to salute Nian Shilan in turn according to the time of her entry.

Although Nian Shilan looked down on other women in the backyard, she herself did not like Yinzhen very much, so she was not jealous of the women in the backyard. She just said a few words to show her power and successfully ended the first greeting.

The time passed quickly afterwards. After all the newlyweds entered the house, Nian Shilan's fetus, which was killed by its biological father, also came.

It was still the same operation, and Qi Yuebin still brought a bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine, but with Yixiu's reminder, Nian Shilan, who was not fooled by Yinzhen, was more cautious and successfully survived this disaster.

System 007 was puzzled as to why Yi Xiu wanted to save the baby in Nian Shilan's belly. Yi Xiu just smiled mysteriously and asked back: "It's just saving the 5-month-old fetus. It's not certain whether you can give birth to the baby."

Defei would not let Nian Shilan give birth to a child. Without this experience, how could she make Nian Shilan completely turn to her? Although Nian Shilan respected Yixiu because of the relationship between Nian Gengyao and Xingde, the domineering attitude deliberately promoted by Yinzhen made Yixiu feel that she was not useful enough.

Especially after having her own child, even though Nian Shilan did not like Yinzhen, her natural pursuit of power still made her take over half of the housekeeping power in the mansion. It seems that the reason why Concubine Hua became like that in the plot was not just because of her so-called sincerity towards Yinzhen.

Sure enough, a month later, when Nian Shilan was six months pregnant, she was knocked down in the garden and gave birth to a premature stillbirth. Nian Shilan was in great pain and her temperament changed drastically. Since she couldn't find the murderer, she regarded almost all the women in the backyard as the murderer except Yixiu, and took over Yixiu's job and became the new leader of Duo Le Mo.

In order to compensate Nian Shilan, Yinzhen gave her the power of housekeeper in the mansion. For this reason, Yinzhen even fantasized that Yixiu would take the initiative to find him or something. Unexpectedly, Yixiu didn't care at all and continued to be indifferent to everything about Yinzhen.

At the same time, Huan Yi Xiang was online again, but this time Nian Shilan was skeptical of Yin Zhen who could not give him an explanation. She secretly asked someone to check the ingredients of Huan Yi Xiang and found out that it contained powerful musk.

"Tsk, people often say that you will destroy the bridge after crossing it, but Prince Yong is thinking of destroying the bridge before he even crosses the river! Ridiculous, if he doesn't want my Nian family to have children, then why not not have one yourself!"

Upon hearing that Li Jingui, a favored palace maid of Yinzhen in the Old Summer Palace, was pregnant, Nian Shilan's attention was instantly attracted. With a little trickery, the fourth prince Hongli, who was supposed to be born, went straight to hell with his mother.

After Geng became pregnant, Nian Shilan did not let her go, but Nian Shilan's methods were rather crude. Despite Geng's strict defense, the sickly Fifth Prince Hong Zhou was still born. Just like in the plot, Geng took her son and fled to the Old Summer Palace.

The plot went around in circles and ended up back at the main plot line. Yixiu had no opinion, but just felt bored. The time she spent with the Fourth Lady was the most boring time for her. Nian Gengyao was serving in the army and was not often in Beijing. Even if she could leave the house, she would not have a chance to meet him in secret.

"007, don't choose to enter the plot world so early next time. It takes too long."

"Host, this can't be helped. The main dreams of the traders this time are basically related to their early experiences. If she hadn't wanted to be a queen or queen mother, her dream would have been fulfilled long before Honghui was born."

Yixiu thought so too. Although it was unexpected, the hatred Yixiu felt for the women in the plot, including the protagonist Zhen Huan, was not as great as she had imagined. As for the other women, Yixiu just used them and didn't care about them. As for Zhen Huan, she was more unwilling to lose.

What's more, in Yixiu's view, she did not lose to Zhen Huan, she just lost to Yinzhen's heart.
