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

When Fanghua left, she not only asked Zhen Huan to move to the side hall where she was supposed to live, but also took away the unruly head nanny Cui Jinxi. Zhen Huan, who had lost face today, finally didn't have to ask her brother Shichu to help her pretend to be sick and risk the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Yixiu's oral instructions have completely told her not to worry about being chosen by the Emperor to sleep with her in the next six months. Yes, Zhen Huan's house arrest has been changed back to six months. After hearing the news, Concubine Hua rolled on her wheel and laughed happily for a long time.

"Songzhi, I said that bitch Zhen Huan didn't know the rules, but I didn't expect that I actually underestimated her. Not only did she dare to occupy the main palace with a small position as a concubine, she also dared to directly subdue the head nanny of Suiyuxuan."

"Hmph! The Queen is too merciful after all. She only punished Zhen Huan by confining her to house arrest for three months and deducting her salary for half a year. There is no more!" Concubine Hua just complained a few words and said nothing more.

Over the years, she had gotten to know the Queen well. She had no extra feelings for the Emperor and was even a little unhappy to see him. Because of this, the Queen was particularly kind to the women in the palace, and would not interfere as long as they did not offend her.

Thinking of this, Concubine Hua couldn't help but think of her brother Nian Gengyao who had never married in all these years, and even refused to take in maids and concubines. She couldn't help but feel sad, "They love each other but can't be together, it's hard for lovers to get married..."

The Queen sister has devoted herself to worshipping Buddha and not wanting to manage affairs these years. Isn't it for her brother? Thinking that her lover Xingde has not married yet, Hua Fei suddenly lost her mood. Although she didn't care about the emperor's favor these years, she didn't refuse the emperor to stay overnight. She didn't expect that Xingde outside the palace had always kept her virginity for her.

"It's not worth it, everything is not worth it..."

Hua Fei muttered to herself, not knowing whether this was not worth it referring to Xingde's chastity for her or to the hypocrisy she had shown towards the Emperor over the years.

Songzhi knew everything that happened to her young lady. Knowing that Concubine Hua was thinking of Master Xingde again, Songzhi couldn't help but feel a sore nose and tears quickly filled her eyes: "Miss, everything is fate, it's all in the past, don't think about it. If you are unhappy, why not call a few concubines over to kill time?"

Concubine Hua did not answer. She closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep. However, the tear that flowed from the corner of her eye made Songzhi know that Concubine Hua was not asleep.

The emperor was about to flip the name card for a new person entering the palace, but he thought of Concubine Hua. The emperor had been too indulgent towards Concubine Hua over the years, and was worried that flipping the name card would make Concubine Hua feel uncomfortable, so he was planning to go to Yikun Palace to appease her.

"Take it away. I'm going to Yikun Palace to see Concubine Hua today!"

"Your Majesty, there was news from Yikun Palace today that Concubine Hua was unwell and has rested." Su Peisheng hurried forward to report. The emperor paused after listening, and then looked at the plaques brought by the Jingshifang again. In addition to the old people, there were only five new plaques. He frowned and said, "Why are there two less? Where are Concubine Shen and Concubine Zhen's?"

Seeing this, Su Peisheng hurried forward to explain: "Today, the newlyweds paid their respects to the Queen. Concubine Shen and Concubine Zhen ignored the palace's rule of presenting Manchus and Mongols first and Han people second, and stood in front of Concubine Fucha and Concubine Borjigit. After being corrected by the Queen, they forgot to ask the Queen for forgiveness when Concubine Hua reminded them..."

After hearing this, the Emperor's face turned ugly. He didn't expect that Shen Meizhuang, who looked so dignified during the selection, was so ignorant of the rules. And that Zhen Huan made him speechless. Not only did she look like Rou, but she was also alike in that she didn't know the rules!

"Forget it, let's just pick her!" Yinzhen flipped his hand angrily. Noble Lady Fucha in the main hall of Yanx Palace was very surprised to hear the news. She was the first newlywed to sleep with him, so she hurriedly ordered her maids to wash and dress her up.

After Noble Lady Fucha had served in the emperor's bed for three consecutive days, Noble Lady Borjigit served in the emperor's bed for the second time. After serving in the emperor's bed, she was given the title of "Ji" and sent to the Zhongcui Palace. After being allowed to live in the main hall, she was never summoned to serve in the emperor's bed again.

Xia Dongchun, who was not beaten with a lash of scarlet flames, not only succeeded in sleeping with the emperor this time, but was also quite favored before the house arrest of Shen Meiyu and Zhen Huan ended. After all, she was really good-looking, and belonged to the same type of beauty as Concubine Li and Noble Lady Fang, and was also the type that the emperor liked more.

For three months, without interference from others, An Lingrong successfully served the emperor in bed. However, her timid and petty appearance displeased the emperor, and her favor was average. However, it was much better than when she did not serve the emperor in the plot.

Soon Shen Meizhuang was released from confinement. Yixiu did not make things difficult for her. She recollected the palace rules and told the Jingshifang to put up her nameplate.

As expected, the emperor still wanted to promote Shen Meizhuang to check and balance Concubine Hua. After just three days of sleeping with Shen Meizhuang, the emperor granted Shen Meizhuang some power to assist in managing the harem and asked her to learn more from Concubine Hua.

What Hua Fei valued most in recent years, besides not asking Yinzhen to have children in the backyard, was power. Now Shen Meizhuang has really touched the sore spot of Hua Fei.

Everything in the plot was performed anyway, just with a different name. Yixiu was enjoying watching the show, and soon the scene of their first meeting in Yime Garden came again, and it was also the time when Zhen Huan was released from confinement.

However, after Zhen Huan was released from house arrest this time, she did not dare to follow the rules and come to Jingren Palace to pay respects and hand in the palace rules she copied as punishment, as in the plot. Yixiu did not care about her at all and treated her equally, which made the proud Zhen Huan feel even more unbearable.

Now Yinzhen has only two sons, and the rest have no sons or even daughters. No matter how virtuous Yixiu is, Zhen Huan, who claims to be smart, still becomes wary of Yixiu. She feels that she has seen through Yixiu's true face, and thinks that the reason why the emperor has few children is the Queen's fault.

What she didn't know was that there had been rumors in the outside world, but most of them were speculations about the emperor's poor health. After all, if she couldn't give birth after getting pregnant, it could be the queen's fault. It was rare for a woman to get pregnant in so many years. Not only the women in the harem were suspicious, but also the ministers and royal family members were suspicious.

The emperor believed that it was due to the Huanyi incense. After all, after he prepared the Huanyi incense for Concubine Hua, the women in the backyard were often called to Concubine Hua to share the Huanyi incense, so it was normal that they could not get pregnant.

The Empress Dowager, the Emperor and even the imperial doctors all knew about this, so the Emperor's infertility has not been discovered yet. This person is now thinking that since the women in the palace are unable to give birth, the new batch of women entering the palace can be favored more, hoping that they will give birth to royal heirs as soon as possible.

Yixiu didn't care whether Zhen Huan and the others were favored or not. She just wanted to finish this mission quickly. In fact, she had already completed 90% of her dream in the early stage, and the only thing left was the final step of Honghui ascending the throne and herself becoming the empress dowager.

In order to observe the mourning period, Honghui did not get married before, but now Honghui is twenty years old and can't wait any longer. This time the emperor did not forget Honghui's marriage as he did to Hongshi in the plot. In June of the second year of Yongzheng's reign, the emperor's eldest son, Prince Zhao, got married. Yixiu handed most of the arrangements for the wedding to Concubine Hua. After all, she was too lazy to deal with these trivial matters. Concubine Hua knew that Honghui was her nephew, so not only would she not have any bad intentions, she would also give him a lot of subsidies. Even Nian Gengyao outside the palace was willing to let Concubine Hua subsidize his own son's wedding.

The plot soon developed to the downfall of Concubine Hua. It was not because she caused Zhen Huan to have a miscarriage or something, but because the Emperor found that Shen Meizhuang was not up to the task and he promoted Zhen Huan instead. It was Zhen Huan who discovered the truth that the women in the harem could not get pregnant and told the Emperor about it.

In order to protect his reputation, the emperor did not want to intervene at first. However, after hearing Zhen Huan say that all the new women in the palace were infected, the emperor became furious. His plan to make the new concubines give birth to children was completely thwarted.
