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

During this period, Zhen Huan played chess and talked about books with the emperor, and she also prepared perfume and brewed tea to suit his tastes, which made the emperor more and more satisfied with her. She slept with him for half a month until the queen went to find the empress dowager. The empress dowager could not bear it anymore and sent someone to invite the emperor over to explain the pros and cons, which made the emperor wake up.

It was not until then that the Emperor realized that something was wrong with Concubine Hua. In order to find out the truth, the Emperor first asked Su Peisheng what Concubine Hua had done during this period of time, and why she neither became jealous and made things difficult for Zhen Huan, nor sent anyone to the Yangxin Palace to deliver tonic soup to win her favor and ask him to see her.

Su Peisheng thought for a moment and replied, "I heard that Concubine Hua didn't sleep well recently, but I haven't heard what she did."

"In the meantime, Concubine Jiao went to Yikun Palace and only stayed there for half an hour before coming out. I heard that Concubine Jiao looked normal, so she should not have been disciplined too much by Concubine Hua."

Su Peisheng said it very tactfully. The emperor knew that since Concubine Hua had a miscarriage, she would have trouble sleeping if he didn't accompany her. The so-called poor sleep was nothing more than because he didn't go. The emperor suddenly felt guilty and couldn't help but blame Concubine Hua: "In the past, if I didn't go to Yikun Palace for a few days, Shilan would always remember to send someone to look for me. How come Shilan couldn't help it this time? Could it be that Shilan's feelings for me have faded?"

Su Peisheng did not dare to agree with the emperor's doubts about Concubine Hua's sincerity, and quickly said, "The feelings of Concubine Hua for the emperor are deep and sincere, and there is no falsehood at all."

"I guess the queen is afraid of love, and she is afraid of ruining the emperor's mood and making him dislike her, so she deliberately endures the longing and stays awake alone."

It has to be said that Su Peisheng is indeed the person who knows the emperor best. With just a few words, he completely dispelled the emperor's doubts and disappointment.

The emperor, who was coaxed into happiness, decided to spend more time with his old love. His new love, Zhen Huan, was indeed good, but he had been doting on her for half a month without anyone stopping him, and he was indeed a little bored.

Although there is less pulling and pulling between the male and female protagonists as in the plot, it still has a lot of impact on the relationship between the two. In the plot, their meeting and getting along with each other and then being favored in the bedchamber are more like natural love and then marriage. However, the relationship between Zhen Huan and the emperor, who appeared early in this life, is more traditional and unoriginal, that of a concubine and the emperor. It can barely be considered as marriage before love, but Ling Rong cannot guarantee how much love there will be.

Originally, Concubine Hua deliberately did not interrupt the Emperor's doting on Zhen Huan these days, just to force herself to confirm the Emperor's sincerity. As a result, before Concubine Hua could wake up, the Emperor returned to Concubine Hua's Yikun Palace after doting on Zhen Huan for half a month and lived out his previous "husband and wife" life with Concubine Hua.

Especially since the emperor stayed in Hua Fei's Yikun Palace for twenty days in a row, which was a few days longer than the number of days Zhen Huan was favored before, Hua Fei completely forgave the emperor from the bottom of her heart. She also kept convincing herself that the emperor loved her, and everyone else, no matter Zhen Huan or Ling Rong, were just passers-by.

So when the emperor finally left Yikun Palace to rest alone, Concubine Hua confidently found Lingrong again and asked her to fulfill her promise.

"How about this? Now it can be proved that the emperor is absolutely sincere to me, right? No matter where you got those speculations from before, I tell you that they are wrong. Now you should fulfill your promise. When I get pregnant, I'm sure the emperor will be very happy."

Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost. She will not believe something a person has determined unless everything is revealed. Lingrong shrugged and said that it didn't matter. Anyway, what happened between Concubine Hua and the Emperor was none of her business. She had said those things just to see the Emperor's excitement, and it didn't matter if she couldn't see it now.

"I'll prepare the pills and give them to you in ten days. Then you'll be able to find out the result after another ten days." Ling Rong calculated how long it would take the Emperor to find her, and ten days was about right. She then asked Concubine Hua for her blood, and told her that this was to ensure that the fertility pill would only be effective on Concubine Hua.

Although Concubine Hua felt it was strange, she still reluctantly let Lingrong take her blood in order to get pregnant.

The emperor stayed alone in the Yangxin Palace to rest for three days. He flipped through the cards again and finally remembered Lingrong, the beautiful concubine who made him feel the most dreamy and comfortable. He couldn't help but sigh that Lingrong was so simple-minded that she would not even take the initiative to compete for favor. She would just stay in Qixiang Palace and wait for him to remember her.

When the emperor arrived at Qixiang Palace, he was stopped by Concubine Cao who was carrying Wen Yi out for a walk before he even reached the back hall where Lingrong lived. The emperor was suddenly embarrassed when he saw Wen Yi, as he had completely forgotten about his little daughter. In order to avoid being discovered, he had to lovingly take Wen Yi in his arms and tease her for a long time.

In the end, if the emperor had not really been indifferent to Concubine Cao's bland face, she might have been able to steal the treasure. Lingrong was very dissatisfied with Concubine Cao's behavior, not because she cared about the emperor, but because she had prepared the medicine and collection tools to confuse the emperor and was waiting for the emperor to come.

If all her preparations were to go to waste because Concubine Cao succeeded in intercepting the emperor's favor, Ling Rong felt that it was time to once again let the people in the harem see whether she, the "daughter of a minor official," was really that easy to mess with.

Fortunately, the Emperor arrived just before Lingrong lost patience and was about to put the things away. Lingrong quickly knocked the Emperor unconscious and took his blood, then woke him up and used the self-entertainment drug. Then, she ignored the Emperor and played by herself, while she hurried to synthesize the embryo.

After seeing off the emperor the next morning, Ling Rong went to Jingren Palace to pay her respects. When she saw Concubine Cao at Jingren Palace, Ling Rong asked directly, "Does Concubine Cao dislike the fact that Princess Wen Yi is a girl? Does she want to take advantage of Princess Wen Yi to give the emperor another prince?"

"Otherwise, why would Concubine Cao ignore Princess Wen Yi's health and hold her in her arms while standing in front of the Qixiang Palace, waiting for the Emperor in the cold wind?"

"If Princess Wen Yi had really fallen ill yesterday, the Emperor would have been able to stay."

Concubine Cao knew that her behavior last night was wrong, but the emperor had not seen Wen Yi for a long time. She was really worried that Wen Yi would lose the emperor's favor, so she had to resort to this last resort. However, she did not expect Ling Rong to misinterpret her behavior like this.

If you ask her why she didn't dare to go to the Emperor with Wen Yi in her arms when Zhen Huan or Concubine Hua was in bed with him, it was of course because Concubine Cao conceded that Ling Rong's status was not as high as hers and that she was a soft persimmon that was easy to bully.

Concubine Cao originally thought that Lingrong would be angry but would not say anything. After all, the emperor was just concerned about Wen Yi and stayed with Wen Yi for a while longer but did not really stay in her palace. Strictly speaking, she did not snatch Lingrong's favor.

She didn't think that she failed to keep the emperor. What if she did? Wouldn't Lingrong be the laughing stock today? Others came here just to bully her. Could it be that revenge depends on whether the other party succeeded in bullying her?

Anyway, Lingrong felt that as long as the other party's behavior disgusted her, she would be considered successful. Even if she didn't retaliate, she would find a way to tear off the other party's face!
