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

After Zhen Huan returned to the palace, she started fighting with the Queen's faction. Wen Yuan and Concubine Jing were happily eating melon with their children.

Regarding Zhen Huan's pregnancy, Concubine Jing once secretly asked Wen Yuan if she had any other thoughts. Wen Yuan shook her head and said that Hongyi was old enough now and would soon be able to go to the Shangshufang to study. She only had to take good care of Hongyi and didn't intend to get involved in anything else.

After hearing this, Concubine Jing didn't know whether she was happy or helpless. Ever since she accepted Wen Yi, she had already decided on Guaerjia. Not to mention that Wen Yi and Hongyi had a good relationship, only if Hongyi ascended the throne could Wen Yi gain the most benefits. Just talking about her relationship with Wen Yuan, she didn't want Wen Yuan to lose to Zhen Huan.

When Concubine Jing heard the news that Zhen Huan returned to the palace pregnant, she was a little conflicted. She hoped that Wen Yuan could resolve the threat in Zhen Huan's belly, but she also didn't want Wen Yuan to do that, as harming others was not in line with Concubine Jing's values.

Fortunately, Wen Yuan's words made Concubine Jing feel relieved, and she no longer worried about Zhen Huan's pregnancy.

Wen Yuan and Concubine Jing said that Zhen Huan's return to the palace had little impact, but the Queen couldn't stand it. However, the Queen knew that Zhen Huan was no longer the same as before, and it would be more difficult to deal with her, so she tried to sow discord between Concubine Duan, the adoptive mother of Zhen Huan's daughter Longyue, and Zhen Huan.

Concubine Duan originally just wanted a child that could belong to her completely. When Zhen Huan left the palace, Concubine Duan reluctantly accepted the fact that Longyue's biological mother was still alive. Now that Zhen Huan has returned to the palace, she has come to Yanqing Palace to reunite with her daughter. Concubine Duan secretly resents her, but she is too scheming to refuse Zhen Huan and Longyue's meeting in person. However, she secretly sends people to keep an eye on Zhen Huan, trying to find something to hold against her and completely change Longyue's jade disc.

After Zhen Huan returned to the palace, although she was sad that Longyue did not recognize her biological mother, the thing she was most anxious about besides Longyue was her belly and relatives. Fortunately, the Queen soon gave Zhen Huan a chance. An Lingrong, under the order of the Queen, approached Zhen Huan with a musk sachet under the pretext of apology and reconciliation, intending to make her miscarry. Zhen Huan took advantage of the situation and miscarried. After the Emperor learned that Zhen Huan had been murdered and miscarried, in order to appease Zhen Huan, he specially ordered Zhen Yuandao and his family to return to Beijing, and An Lingrong, the culprit, was directly ordered by the Emperor to be banished to the cold palace.

An Lingrong originally wanted to betray the queen, but the queen promised to help her take care of her mother outside the palace, so she had no choice but to confess alone. An Lingrong was killed early.

Zhen Huan had a miscarriage, and the Emperor lost another son. Since the Emperor ascended the throne, only two royal heirs, Hongyi and Longyue, have been successfully born. The Queen Mother originally agreed to bring Zhen Huan back to the palace for the royal heir in her belly. Now that things have turned out like this, the Queen Mother feels that everyone in the harem is useless.

Just for the sake of the emperor's offspring, the empress dowager chose Shen Meizhuang and gave her warm sake, urging her to sleep with him. However, Shen Meizhuang had already fallen in love with Wen Shichu. After she sent the emperor away with a cold face, she called Wen Shichu to have a one-night stand with her. A month later, Shen Meizhuang "picked up a bracelet" on the emperor's way and successfully slept with him. Soon after that, news of Shen Meizhuang's pregnancy spread in the palace.

Although An Lingrong was lost, the baby in Zhen Huan's belly was eliminated, which made the Queen feel a little regretful but generally satisfied.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Huan's party was so tenacious. Just after Zhen Huan was dealt with, Shen Meizhuang became pregnant again. The Queen ordered Jianqiu to keep a close eye on Shen Meizhuang and get rid of the child in Shen Meizhuang's belly as soon as she found an opportunity.

On the other hand, Concubine Duan's people had been keeping an eye on Zhen Huan's Yongshou Palace, but they discovered that Zhen Huan was not very sad after her miscarriage. Concubine Duan sensed something was wrong and began to suspect Zhen Huan's miscarriage.

Before Concubine Duan discovered that Zhen Huan had faked her pregnancy and miscarriage, Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi's "eating together" was discovered by Concubine Duan's people first. Concubine Duan was shocked but excited. She planned to use this matter to threaten Zhen Huan to completely give up the custody of Longyue, and personally persuade the Emperor to change the Longyue jade disc to her own name.

Unfortunately, Zhen Huan refused to agree and directly angered Concubine Duan and left. Before Zhen Huan could think of a way to appease Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing reported the matter of Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi to the Emperor. After Zhen Huan returned to the palace, Longyue gradually became favored and gradually snatched a lot of Wen Yi's favor. This made Concubine Jing, who loved Wen Yi deeply, unbearable. By chance, Concubine Jing discovered the unusual wallet on Su Peisheng, and discovered the relationship between him and Cui Jinxi.

Concubine Jing felt that with the help of Su Peisheng, Zhen Huan's party would not only be affected by Wen Yi's status in the future, but perhaps even Hongyi's status would be affected, especially now that Shen Meizhuang was pregnant. If she gave birth to a prince and the emperor could live to the age of the late emperor, then Shen Meizhuang's prince would be Hongyi's biggest rival.

She couldn't bring herself to lay hands on a pregnant woman, but it was no problem for her to report Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi. She didn't have much affection for Zhen Huan and the others. They had some friendships before, and most of them were due to her own efforts.

The affair between Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi was exposed by Concubine Jing, and they were severely punished and sent to the Ministry of Punishment to suffer. Zhen Huan begged the emperor in vain, and without the help of Concubine Duan, Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi were eventually sentenced to death by the emperor.

Zhen Huan was very sad about losing her confidant. The Emperor was also upset about the fact that Zhen Huan was able to win over the chief steward around him, and he showed less favor to Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan's life became difficult again.

The Mid-Autumn family banquet is here, and Yuyin, Yunxi, Prince Guo and other relatives have been invited by the emperor to attend. As soon as Yuyin appeared at the banquet, she became the focus of the entire banquet. Most of the female relatives looked at Yuyin with admiration and envy, and even the concubines in the harem were no exception.

Ye Lanyi also noticed the very beautiful wife of Shen Beile below. Originally, she just followed the crowd and glanced at Yu Yin. Then Ye Lanyi focused her entire attention on Prince Guo, but found that Prince Guo was also secretly glancing at Yu Yin. Ye Lanyi understood Prince Guo's eyes, and at this time, she finally understood who the sweetheart that Prince Guo was talking about was.

Prince Guo drank to relieve his sorrow for the love he couldn't get and soon got drunk. He left the banquet and went to the Imperial Garden. Seeing this, Ye Lan'yi quickly got up and followed him to comfort Prince Guo, but she ran into Zhen Huan who had followed him out. Ye Lan'yi listened to their conversation and knew that Zhen Huan also had a crush on Prince Guo. She was very dissatisfied with Zhen Huan's behavior of seducing the Emperor back to the palace after hearing that Prince Guo's death because she had the opportunity to stay outside the palace and stay with Prince Guo, but because she was greedy for wealth and ostentation, she heard that Prince Guo had died and seduced the Emperor.

Ye Lan'yi feels that if she can have the same opportunity as Zhen Huan, even if she cannot get a response from Prince Guo, she will be satisfied as long as she can stay by Prince Guo's side. Therefore, Ye Lan'yi feels that Zhen Huan is not worthy of liking Prince Guo. Fortunately, Prince Guo's sweetheart is not Zhen Huan.
